Chapter 322 Silver Hearts

"Brother, be careful." Dong Bingfeng, who was behind Zhao Jin's right, whispered. Zhao Jin heard the slight movement of him laying the feather arrow on the bowstring, and Chen Huang and Wang Zhaojing beside him had already opened the scabbard and the spring on the scabbard.

The middle-aged man knew how to measure himself. He stopped when he was five steps away from Zhao Jin. He still held the instrument in reverse and moved forward with the handle, and said respectfully: "Mr. Jin must be this, right?"

Chen Huang turned over and dismounted and walked over to take the equipment. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. However, everyone on Zhao Jin was confused. They didn't know what Zhao Jin was going to do. Everyone could see that Zhao Jin was anxious and excited, but everyone really couldn't see that the equipment was different.

Taking it from Chen Huang, Zhao Jin began to study it over and over again, completely in a state of being left alone.

At this time, no matter Zhao Ying or Xu family, everyone was inexplicable. The man who brought the equipment to him coughed and said, "If Master Jin feels that this bird gun is in his eyes and is the only one who is the one who is in charge of the bird gun, I will give it to Master Jin. I hope Master Jin will not laugh at him. If nothing happens, I will say goodbye first."

What is there to be rare for an ordinary bird gun? Everyone in Zhaoziying was also wondering.

Seeing that Zhao Jin did not respond, Wang Zhaojing and Chen Huang thanked the middle-aged man almost at the same time. The man also politely returned the gift, looked at Zhao Jin again, scratched his head and turned around and left.

"This is called a bird gun, where do you get this bird gun?" Zhao Jin suddenly asked.

The atmosphere was already quite strange, but Zhao Jin was enough and no one dared to neglect it. The middle-aged man turned around and replied respectfully: "Master Jin, this is created by the Xu family itself."

"Why is this handle so short?" The handle of the bird gun held by Zhao Jin was shorter than Chen Huang's hands, the handle of the knife was shorter than that of Chen Huang's long hands. It was less than half a foot, and it was still a crank.

The man grinned, cleared his throat and replied, "This is customization, official creations, private creations, and it's all like this."

"Why is the barrel of this bird gun so long? It must be more than four feet. The caliber is so small, just a little more than three points. Why is this?" Zhao Jin immediately poked the barrel with his finger.

The tension just now was gone, and Xu Ding Zhuang, who was rushing to get on the boat and got off the boat, was no longer anxious. Many people had already surrounded him, for nothing else, but curious.

Zhao Jin's problem also made the middle-aged man feel a little dangerous. He couldn't help but look back. The Xu family, which was the main business of coal mining and iron smelting, immediately came out and whispered a few words. The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Mr. Jin, the bird gun barrel must be long, the gunpowder must be sufficient, and the lead ball iron bullet will fly fast and be hit hard. The diameter is small, so it is afraid of air leakage. Moreover, the lead ball iron bullet cannot be too big, otherwise it will not be hit far."

"The caliber must be large, the projectile must be heavy..." Zhao Jin murmured.

"Big Brother" Wang Zhaojing finally couldn't stand it anymore and shouted with a high voice.

Zhao Jin was shocked and finally woke up from this crazy state.

The most important firearms in the Ming Dynasty were the military soldiers, but the quality of the firearms was too poor. The real brave and powerful people used swords, guns, bows and arrows to kill the enemy. There were several old cannons at the top of Xuzhou City. It had not been used for a long time. There were only two types of troops in the city. General Zhou Shen’s personal guards were skilled in bows and horses, and did not use firearms. The guards at the city gate all held waist knives and spears, and were not equipped with firearms. As for the military camps outside the city, Zhao Jin had never been there. The gang training village warriors and powerful private soldiers in Xuzhou were mostly swords, guns, swords and halberds, and there were no firearms.

On that day, Hejiazhuang seized two muskets. After Zhao Jin saw it, he lost interest. They were two iron pipes. The so-called fire was like a firecracker igniting it inside. It had no power or damage at all. Unless it was facing the exposed skin within ten steps, it could be smoked or scalded, and that's all.

Although this bird gun is different from what Zhao Jin remembers, it is built very seriously, with gun barrels, copper rings, bird beak bolts, triggers, and medicine pools, and every detail is not vague.

The Zhao camp team cooperated with the archers and almost suffered a disaster at the city. Since then, Zhao Jin has started to think about the firearms, but he couldn't find the direction for a breakthrough for a while. He never thought that he found it on the bank of the Yellow River.

By this time, Zhao Jin was not completely calm. He took a deep breath and said with a smile: "I have left this musket and I will send a message to the person in charge of your family. Zhao and your family have a big business to do. If you are interested, come here to find me."

The middle-aged man in the Xu family was still unable to touch his head, but the atmosphere was much more normal by this time. Hearing Zhao Jin's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked. He quickly bowed and clasped his fists and said, "Please rest assured, I'm going to make a decision to bring back the message from Master Jin."

Zhao Jin smiled and nodded immediately. He glanced at the Xu family fleet that was docking and saw more than a dozen male men holding bird guns. However, these male men had common characteristics, that is, they were not young and strong enough, old or thin, and the truly strong young and strong were all with swords and guns, and those carrying bows and arrows were even more outstanding.

After Zhao Ziying came here with the relief team from Yunshan Temple, the people from the Xu family in Jingshan automatically retreated. Although there was no conflict, the hostility between them was deep and they were at odds. However, Zhao Jin was so excited and disobedient, which made the atmosphere much easier.

As the atmosphere eased, the Xu family's team retreated to the ship in an orderly manner, and said goodbye to Zhao Jin. The middle-aged man did a very thoughtful job and gave all the relevant equipment on the man holding the bird gun to Zhao Jin.

But Zhao Jin, who has always been thoughtful, did not thank him. Wang Zhaojing came forward with the politeness of the leaders of the Xu family. Everyone was normal on the surface, but in fact they were very strange.

Zhao Jin had already dismounted and checked the equipment one by one. The ones containing the gunpowder were bamboo tubes, which were padded with oil paper. Most of the bullets were made of iron. This is normal. Although the lead balls are the best, the price of lead is also very high and the cost is too high. There are thin ropes rubbed from cotton thread as fuses, and even flint scythes were brought over. This is more common.

"Brother, there are monks from Yunshan Temple here to recruit refugees. Let's go back first..." Wang Zhaojing leaned closer and said, and found that Zhao Jin was concentrating on research. He couldn't help but raise his voice and said, "Brother"

Zhao Jin was shocked and then realized that he looked at the bird gun equipment in his hand, and then the people behind him. Whether they were friends or subordinates, they all looked at him with strange eyes. Zhao Jin put down the bird gun, patted his forehead, and laughed and said, "I'm forgetful, I'm forgetful."

"Brother, don't let all parties outside the city wait too long. It's getting late now." Wang Zhaojing reminded

Zhao Jin took a deep breath and changed his mood. He was silent for a while before speaking, "Pack up these things and send them to Hejiazhuang. The others will go back to the city with me. Let's leave this place to Mr. Cao to take care of it."

"Mr. Cao, don't use the contract of selling your body for refugees and young men in Yunshan Temple, just use Zhao's own." Before leaving, Ruhui agreed with a smile.

There were 200 people in Zhao's camp who turned to Xuzhou City, while Zhao Jin and his friends rode horses first. The refugees had just passed, and no one dared to walk from the crossing to the city. They rode horses and galloped very fast.

Instead of going directly to the regiment camp at the west gate of Xuzhou, they entered the city. After entering the city, they walked slowly towards the west gate, while Liu Yong went to the cargo yard.

Halfway through the horse team, someone trotted over to report the news.

"Mr. Jin, the camp outside the city has started to make trouble. They sent people to come to the city, but they were blocked by the soldiers guarding the gate. Some people in the camp scolded Jin."

"There is no need to say anything that scolds me. They must have thought I had lost my word." Zhao Jin said with a smile immediately.

When Zhao Jinyi arrived at Ximen, Liu Yong rushed over and said, "Brother, everything is ready."

The west gate of Xuzhou City was half-closed, and there were actually four hundred soldiers standing by in the urn city, looking like they were facing a great enemy. The generals leading the team looked at Zhao Jin and others with bad eyes.

"There are actually not much differences between refugees attacking the city and rioting and rioting, and the latter's destruction and damage may not be small." Zhao Jin said with a smile, driving the horse out of the city.

Most of the volunteers in the west of Xuzhou City were guilty yesterday. The famous Hanjing wine was very delicious and intoxicating. But they woke up until they slept. They had not given the money they had agreed to come over. They wanted to go into the city to ask, but were blocked outside the door by the soldiers without hesitation.

In this case, Zhao Jin's reputation and reputation are not easy to use. Everyone thought that Master Jin had deceived everyone, and some of them were so anxious that they had already started to curse.

The crowd below was excited, but the leaders were extremely anxious. Most of them were from wealthy families and wealthy families. How dare they fight against the government? But they were unable to restrain themselves. These brave men who danced guns and rods were also unable to offend them. They could be beaten and scolded at ordinary times, but now if they move one, they are afraid they will turn in.

"If you don't give it to us, we will go in and get it ourselves."

"How many soldiers can be found in the city? We have many people, so we are right to rush in."

Someone shouted, and there were quite a few people who responded. Someone immediately shouted: "We have many birds for people. Zhao Yiying is in the city. Are you looking for death when you go in?"

When talking about Zhao's name, the surging crowd immediately became quiet. In the past, they only knew the name, but in the battle under the city, everyone saw this greatness with their own eyes. Who dared to compete with such a power?

"I'm afraid of a bird. Zhao's name is out of the city. My relatives saw it." After all, leaning against the edge of Xuzhou City, although in order to hide, there were still many people who saw it.

As soon as this sentence was said, the scene became quieter, and then the crowd broke out and someone shouted: "Enter the city."

Everyone shouted in unison: "Enter the city"

"General Zhou Shen has returned to the city." "What is he? Our brothers and tens of thousands of thieves have fought, what is he like?" No one takes General Zhou Shen and the garrison seriously at all.

If it were in the past, Xuzhou was extremely awe-in-law at General Zhou Shen and his troops, so he would not dare to say such disrespectful words. But now it is different. The volunteers of the regiment trained the Zhaoziying and rushed in and out of tens of thousands of refugees. Although it was mainly the Zhaoziying fighting, the people following behind also opened their eyes and increased their confidence, and each felt that they were invincible in the world.

The current refugee camp is like a powder barrel. Mars is about to explode. Those who have family businesses have already walked towards the periphery. If it really starts, go home and take their families away, or they will rush to the city and report to the official. You can't let these ignorant people get implicated.

"Look at Master Jin," someone shouted.

The scene was noisy and noisy, and many people couldn't hear the shouts from the outside, but the second shout came out, from west to east, gradually quieted down, and everyone turned their heads and looked west, and many people looked for a high place, and even asked their companions to raise themselves to look around.

"It's Master Jin"

"Mr. Jin is here"

Zhao Jin was wearing yesterday's armor, which was easy to identify. Everyone was shouting, and some were talking privately: "How could a hero like Jin Ye break his promise? Some people said that Jin Ye deceived everyone, look at his virtue, and be worthy of Jin Ye to cheat."

"Who said this? The sky is thundering, and having a baby?" It was noisy, ridiculous, and arguing.

When Zhao Jin rode his horse in front of him, he waved his arms immediately, and the entire regiment training camp immediately became quiet. Zhao Jin smiled and said loudly: "Do you think Zhao is not here?"

Everyone was stunned and then burst into laughter. Zhao Jin said loudly again: "To be honest, everyone has to raise so much money. Even if Zhao has some of his family, it will take time to make everyone wait for a long time."

"Grand Master, Gao Yi, the young people are very grateful. If anyone complains, the young people will kill him first." Someone below shouted and everyone looked over. The person who was talking just now said that Zhao Jin was lying to others with a blushing face and a thick neck.

"Everyone has been outside this city for a few days. Although I have reported my family's safety, my family is still worried that the body burned here every day and is prone to infection. After taking the money, I will go back soon to make my family feel at ease." Zhao Jin said caringly again.

When we talked about this, we had already seen several ox carts coming from the city gate, and silver came.

Zhao Jin stood up for them, paid the money himself, and was so polite and caring, and did not show off any airs of a great favor. Thinking about it, everyone thought that Zhao Jin was lying, many people were ashamed and grateful, and finally admired him deeply.

Not long after, the ox cart arrived here, followed the strong men of the ox cart to move the wooden boxes on the cart and opened them in public. It was dazzling in the sunlight, with white silver ingots inside.

There was a shortage of copper coins and silver on the market, otherwise so many farmers would not have gone bankrupt during the process of paying the autumn tuition. Now there are many bartering transactions in the inner and outer cities of Xuzhou City. Many big and powerful families have only a lot of food, land and slaves. If they really want to get the money out, they really can't get much.

Only Zhao Jin can take it out to the rich merchants who sell wine everywhere like this. Of course, Zhao Jin's spoils several times also contained a large amount of gold and silver.

Seeing the white silver and boxes of silver placed on the ground, the volunteers in the camp were silent, the people in front were stunned, and the people behind were pushing forward desperately. They also knew that they could only take a few pieces, but it would be better to take a look at such a spectacular scene.

Zhao Jin brought not only money, but also several accountants, with skilled men on the cabinet, and a large amount of copper coins.

The volunteers and brave men from all over the country came to report the number of people and reported the casualties. Then they were given silver according to regulations, and had a fraction of them cut off the silver horns with scissors, or gave them copper coins directly. The accounts were very clear, so the Shanyu stepped forward.

The heavy silver was in my hand, and no worries or resentment disappeared, and all that was left was my gratitude to Zhao Jin.

Some Shanyu people who came here because of their passion, after getting the money, went to Zhao Jin to kowtow to express their gratitude.

The leaders who trained volunteers in the group had more plans. Zhao Jin had such strong combat power, such a strong family background, and such heroes would have to surrender now, or wouldn't it be too late to annex it in the future?

"Everyone, we all rolled over to the tip of the knife together. Even if we have friendship, if you have any problems in the future, we will come to find Zhao and say hello when passing by Hejiazhuang. Zhao Jin said loudly while sending the money.

If Zhao Jin only said this, he would be considered to be generous and win people's hearts. But after everyone experienced the battle under the city together, watching Zhao Jin charge forward and shelter everyone from the wind and rain, then this style is truly generous and righteous.

"If you have instructions in the future, if you enter the water, fire, life and death, just give orders..." Someone said loudly, and many people followed suit.

Zhao Jin nodded with a smile on his face and responded to everyone as much as possible. His smile was very sincere because the effect he wanted was achieved.

Chen Huang, Wang Zhaojing, Shi Manqiang, Dong Bingfeng and Liu Yong were all following there to help, each of whom was sweating profusely and his face was almost as painful as he laughed.

"There is the Xu family in the north of the Yellow River. It's hard to say anything now. The eldest brother is the number one person in the south of the Yellow River." Liu Yong said softly, his voice was small, but his tone was very hot.

Chen Huang and the others heard it. Chen Huang just smiled and shook his head, but Wang Zhaojing looked at the front and said, "Xiao Yong, you don't think that the eldest brother has such ambition, right?"

Liu Yong was stunned, then his face turned red and he clenched his fists.

The refugees gathered on the Yellow River were taken into shelter by Yunshan Temple. After the news spread, many good men and women outside the city had to recite the Buddha a few more times. The group gathered outside the city practiced volunteerism and bravery. Zhao Jin came out to comfort him. After getting the expenses and pensions he deserved, they also dispersed and went home one after another. After learning the news, the last bit of tension in Xuzhou City also dispersed, and everyone praised Zhao Jin and Gao Yi.

There are many sacred men in the south of the city, and there are already some mysterious rumors. For example, Zhao Jin was born by the Heavenly King, so he has such a brave and powerful ability.

The so-called Heavenly King didn’t know which god it was. The legend was compiled just to make the incense more prosperous. But the name Heavenly King was really powerful, and it spread it as soon as it was compiled. Everyone called it “Zhao Tianwang”.

After dismissing the regiment outside the city to practice volunteerism, Zhao Jin returned directly to Xuzhou City. Shi Manqiang brought some servants back to Hejiazhuang. The servants were all staying in the city. Except for the friends who stayed alone in Hejiazhuang, the rest were in the city, because many things had not been done yet.
