Chapter 25 Prepare to leave on

So Liu Xia said to a guard beside him, "Go and call back the brothers outside the door and the back door of Zhaojiabao."

After solving the internal affairs of the army, Liu Xia went to Bian Yujing's side and ordered Bian Yujing to go to Zhao's backyard to find a room to have a rest, and then left for inspection elsewhere.

After Liu Xia left, Liu Dazhuang walked to the place of the Hu Ben camp. Looking at the soldiers of the Hu Ben camp who were depressed at this time, he had a feeling of hatred in his heart. As the battalion commander of the Hu Ben camp, he did not manage the things of the Hu Ben camp well. As a result, nine brothers were punished by military law.

Although several soldiers have suffered, as the battalion commander of the Hu Ben Camp, Liu Dazhuang feels that the honor of the Hu Ben Camp has been stained. Liu Dazhuang, who has always been known for his calmness, can't calm down at this time. Just now, Liu Xia did not deal with him, because Liu Xia knows his character and what kind of person Liu Dazhuang is. He will not If you do that kind of private things, you will not allow your subordinates to hide things privately.

The main reason why the soldiers in the Hu Ben Battalion have so many private things is that Liu Dazhuang trusted his group of soldiers too much and did not monitor them. All operations were scattered and fought separately.

The more Liu Dazhuang thought about this, the more uncomfortable he felt. He shouted to Zhang Liang, "Lao Zhang, you gather all the brothers of Hu Ben Camp. I have something to say." Then he left the inner courtyard alone and walked to the outer courtyard.

Zhang Liang answered and ordered the captains to go out with Liu Dazhuang.

After a while, the whole Hu Ben camp quickly assembled. Liu Dazhuang looked at the 300 soldiers and couldn't help but be angry. Then he shouted hoarsely to the team of 300 people, "You, you have lost the face of Hu Ben Camp. You have no military discipline and no sense of discipline. I, Liu Dazhuang, look down on you!"

............

No one has spread the fact that Zhao Jiabao was attacked, or the people who knew that Zhao Jiabao was attacked were locked by Liu Xia in Zhao Jiabao at this time, and no one escaped.

After all, all the entrances and exits of Zhaojiabao are guarded by Liu Xia. Even if they want to go out, they can't go out. As for climbing walls and so on, even if they can climb out, they must fall into the trench outside Zhuangzi. You should know that there are many sharp wooden stakes in the trench outside Zhuangzi. If they fall into Go, if you don't die, you won't live long.

As for the tenant farmers outside Zhuangzi, they are far away from Zhuangzi. Even if they hear the screams from Zhuangzi, they don't have the courage to come out to check, let alone go to the government office to report it.

In this era, in this kind of troubled times, no civilian wants to go to the government. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is basically not blackmailed, and it is impossible to see an official.

Liu Xia walked around the Zhao family's mansion, then came to a living room in the inner courtyard of the Zhao family, and ordered the guards to call the battalion commanders and deputy battalion commanders. Among them, Liu Xia sat in the upper position. Except for Liu Dazhuang and Zhang Liang of Hu Ben Camp, the chief and deputy battalion commanders of all other battalions were here and sat below in turn.

Liu Xia picked up a cup of hot tea next to her, took a sip slowly, and didn't say anything.

Those battalion commanders don't know what Liu Xia wants to say, and they don't say anything. They just look at me, I look at you, and I don't know what they are communicating.

"Zhang Yuan, what time is it now?" Liu Xia put down the teacup, closed her eyes and carefully tasted the best Maojian tea collected by Zhao Yan. Although Liu Xia could not taste tea, she also knew the quality of the tea, so she took a look at everyone again and said, "You should also taste this tea, the best Maojian."

When others saw Liu Xia talking, they poured the hot tea next to them into their mouths. Most of the people in it were rough people and had no culture at all. For them, these Maojian teas tasted or plain boiled water, and they didn't know how to taste it at all.

Zhang Yuan put down the teacup in his hand, and then replied to Liu Xia, "General, it's almost ugly now."

"Ugly time?"

Liu Xia didn't like these ugly Yin Mao in her previous life, and she couldn't even remember it clearly, not to mention what time they represented. However, since the time travel and the integration of memory with Liu Xia in this era, she has been very clear about all kinds of date notation in the world.

"Ugly time, that is, between one o'clock in the morning and three o'clock in the morning in the previous life. At this time, it will be almost six or seven o'clock. You can have another meal at five o'clock, and then you can leave here." When Liu Xia thought of this, she suddenly remembered Wang En, who was in charge of the logistics task, and said to Wang En, "Wang En, have you found out how many things we have captured in Zhaojiabao?"

Wang En said, "General, I have just roughly count those things. Among them, there are 3,000 stones of grain and 30,000 taels of silver. Other kinds of calligraphy, painting vases, jewelry and so on have not been seen, and I don't know how much. However, with so many subordinates, I think it's almost enough for us soldiers to eat for two months.

"In addition to the grain, there are more than 200 pairs of armor captured by the general, as well as some good weapons, and we also found a tiger squat gun in Zhao's warehouse."

"What!"

"Tiger squat!" Liu Xia stood up happily. It was not that Liu Xia was ignorant and was happy to hear a small artillery like this, but in this era of semi-cold and semi-hot weapons, artillery was of great use, so Liu Xia was so happy.

"General, it's a tiger squat gun. I asked the soldiers below. How many people can use the tiger squat gun." Wang En didn't expect that Liu Xia would be so happy to hear the tiger squat gun, so he continued: "The explosives used in these tiger squat guns are also sufficient."

"That's great. I'll go to see the tiger squat gun later. By the way, you can tell the logistics team at five o'clock, give the soldiers a meal, and then feed all the horses. Let's get out of here."

"Five points?"

"General, I don't know when are these five points?" Wang En looked at Liu Xia with doubt.

"Well, hehe, I was wrong just now. It's a moment." Liu Xia realized that this is not the 21st century, but the Ming Dynasty. People here don't know when five o'clock is.

"Yes, General" Wang En thought that there were still 200 armors? The general hasn't said how to deal with it. It's a pity if he doesn't want it, but if he doesn't want to, but the general doesn't say how to deal with it. It's a place to occupy him, so he asked Liu Xia, "General, how to use the 200 pairs of armor?"

In fact, Liu Xia doesn't care much about armor, because Liu Xia knows that firearms will slowly develop. Armor has no resistance to firearms at all, and Liu Xia will not build too much iron armor in the future, which is of little use. As for the bulletproof vest, Liu Xia doesn't dare to think about it yet.

But in this period, these iron armors are still somewhat useful, so Liu Xia thought for a moment and said, "First, send these iron armors to each general. Now we have a total of four battalions, that is, eight battalion commanders, plus a personal guard captain, nine people, and twenty-four chief and deputy captains, and seventy-two chief and deputy captains. Captain, more than 100 captains, just over 200 pieces of armor, as for the remaining ones, just give them to the scouts.

"Yes, general, my subordinates will send down these iron armors in a moment," Wang En said happily. In their opinion, the iron armor is still very useful, and it is also a symbol of identity.

Liu Xia nodded and then said, "Go back to have a rest. When you eat at Mao, leave here. As for the rest of the things that can't be taken, give it to these servants and maids. Wang En, take me to see the tiger squat gun."

Except for Wang En and Wang Shitou, everyone else worshipped Liu Xia and left the living room.

"Let's go and show me the tiger squat gun," Liu Xia said to Wang En with great interest.

Wang En took Liu Xia with a smile and said, "Although the general's tiger squat gun is not as good as those in red cannons, it is not very powerful. When he was in Liaodong, his subordinates often came into contact with these cannons."

Liu Xia said, "Well, when I was in Liaodong, I was still young. My father didn't let me participate in the war, and I didn't let me see the cannon. Now I still feel a little sorry."

"General, it's right in front, just around the corner." Wang En, with Liu Xia and Wang Shitou, had already walked out of the living room and walked to the tiger squat gun.

Wang En saw that Liu Xia was very interested in the tiger squat gun and explained, "The head and tail of this gun is 2 feet long, with seven iron hoopes all over the body. The head of the gun is raised by two iron claws, and there is also an iron trip, which weighs 36 catties. It seems that the tiger is powerful and majestic. Before firing, the gun body must be fixed to the ground with big nails. Each launch can be filled with a small lead or a hundred small stone weighing 5 cents, which is pressed on the top with a big lead bomb or a big stone bomb weighing 30 taels. When firing, large and small bullets fly out together, roaring like thunder, and the lethality and radiation range are very large, especially suitable for field warfare.

Without Wang En's explanation, Liu Xia is very familiar with tiger squatting cannons. Of course, the reason is that Liu Xia often wandered in the post bar about the Ming Dynasty in his previous life. You should know that artillery has a great position in the army of the Ming Dynasty. Naturally, it is the object of people's discussion. In the army of the Ming Dynasty, there is a magic machine battalion, which is specially Troops using firearms.

However, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were a little behind those of the West. Some large artillery were imported from foreigners, and all kinds of muskets used by the Ming army were often exploded. So many soldiers dare to use it, which is also a reason for defeat in battle.

The musket of the Ming army was blown up, not because the craftsman's skills were not good, but because the craftsmen at that time were oppressed and could not even eat well. Of course, no one made it carefully, so there were defective products everywhere, and it was the soldiers in the border areas that directly harmed.
