Chapter 4 It's finally coming

(Chapter 2 arrives, and the third chapter will be presented before 3:00 p.m.!)

Although it was still summer at the end of July, in a place like Shaanxi, there was already some chill after nightfall. Xiao Tianjian frowned and stood in the Juyi Hall with his hands behind his hand, holding a note in his hand.

Since their Xingtian army repelled the officers and soldiers of Fengxiang Mansion, it has been half a month since they returned to Tianlongzhai. There is no other action in Fengxiang Mansion. It must have been lost strength by their Xingtian Army, making the area of Yanyang temporarily calm again.

Taking advantage of this rare calm period of half a month, Xing Tianjun reorganized again. At the same time, he began to take advantage of the recent gains to vigorously improve the quality of the equipment of the soldiers. A group of women among the exiles were recruited. In the temporary camp outside Tianlongzhai, they began to rush to make cotton armor, and the exiles sent labor to Xing Tianjun to provide food, 200 Many women took action at the same time, and the flying needles were busy, but the progress was also quite fast.

It is gratifying that after half a month, the production of armor in the blacksmith's shop in Tianlongzhai has also been greatly increased due to the large increase in manpower and the replenishment of raw materials. A batch of three-edron heads have been created and replaced into the hands of the long gunner.

What's more gratifying is that Yang Changshou finally lived up to Xiao Tianjian's expectations. After half a month of busy work, he successfully made the first bird gun made by Xing Tianjun. The black barrel exudes a forceful momentum, and directly adopts the new stock, which is obviously different from the previous Xing Tianjun. Those captured birds made Xiao Tianjian very happy.

According to the new rules of Xing Tianjun, the weapons made by the blacksmith must be tried by himself. After being confirmed to be qualified, they can only be delivered to the soldiers for use. Therefore, Yang Changshou is no exception. He first test two shots at the wooden target 50 steps away in public to test the quality of the bird he made.

After the two-gun test, everyone immediately surrounded the thick wooden target and checked the bullet holes on the wooden target. As a result, they were happy to find that the two lead bullets actually hit the wooden target, indicating that there is really no problem with the accuracy of the bird gun created by Yang Changshou. It can also be accurate after 50 steps, which is quite excellent. At the same time, these two A lead bomb also penetrates almost an inch and a half thick wooden target, which shows that the power of this bird is also considerable, which has exceeded the power of all the bird balls they currently have. It is not a problem to maintain the lethality of the human body 70 steps away. If it can be mass-produced, then for the future combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army. The promotion will play a very important role.

"Is the general satisfied with the small bird?" Yang Changshou came to Xiao Tianjian and asked Xiao Tianjian.

"Very good! The bismium tube is built very well, and the accuracy is okay, but the power is still not very satisfactory. It would be even better if it can achieve this power beyond a hundred steps!" Xiao Tianjian said with the bird in his hand unsatiable.

Yang Changshou frowned and said, "It's really not easy to break the armor a hundred steps away! Except for Lu Mi, I'm afraid it's difficult to do it! I'm afraid this consuming iron will be more, and the gun will be thicker! I'm afraid it's inconvenient to use!"

"This is not a problem. As long as it can make it more powerful, the tube is thicker, heavier, and more consumables are nothing. At worst, just add a bracket below. In short, the more powerful this thing is, the better, as long as the soldier can carry it alone! But there is no need to be too urgent now. After all, it is just the beginning. Now it is rare to create a bird of this quality. You can think about it in the future, but you are not in a hurry to build it immediately! Even so, it is quite satisfactory to me. Xing Tianjun has always been rewarded for his meritorious service. He came to get ten taels of silver for Master Yang to reward Master Yang's credit!" After Xiao Tianjian said what he thought, he handed the fireman to a fireman who was looking at the fireman and ordered it in public.

Xiao Tianjian also immediately rewarded Yang Changshou with ten taels of silver for this, so as to reward his credit and make those craftsmen excited about it. You know, it's quite good for them to get paid for their work in the past. When did they get the reward? But when they work in Xing Tianjun, they can still get rewards. In this way, the enthusiasm of these craftsmen is much higher.

Of course, there is another good news here, that is, Gao Cheng, who once made stone thunder. In this half month, he used the existing raw materials at hand to make a batch of gunpowder for Xing Tianjun. At the same time, he once again assembled dozens of stone thunder, which enhanced the armament of Xing Tianjun. Although this thing is too cumbersome, It is not enough to be used as a grenade, but when necessary, it can still have a surprising winning effect, so Xiao Tianjian also rewarded Gao Cheng ten taels of silver, which made many people very jealous.

After this period of careful treatment in Tianlongzhai, Gao Cheng's younger brother has completely healed the wound on his leg and his body has recovered. As a reward for Gao Cheng, his younger brother was also under Liu Yaoben by Xiao Tianjian and became a member of Xing Tianjun's children's soldiers. He can not only follow Liu Yaoben on weekdays. The young man practiced martial arts and could follow Luo Yingjie and others to read, which made the Gao brothers even more grateful to Xiao Tianjian.

After half a month of suffering, the remaining batch of new recruits in the new barracks have also completed the preliminary queue training and began to transfer to the training of the battle subject. Soon they can also be used in battle. This is particularly important for the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the Xingtian Army. Liu Bao, the sentry of the new barracks. Xiao Tianjian is also quite satisfied with his work.

After this period of recuperation, the minor injured among the wounded in Lijiazhuang and Shifo Temple have gradually recovered one after another. Only a few seriously injured people are still receiving treatment in the medical camp, but most of them have no problem in keeping their lives. These wounded will be They will become the backbone of Xing Tianjun, which Xiao Tianjian is most concerned about.

After the battle of Shifo Temple, the relationship between Fu Deming and the generals of Xing Tianjun also improved a lot. He was no longer rejected by these people, and Fu Deming never mentioned leaving. Therefore, Xiao Tianjian officially appointed Fu Deming to join the army and began to work in the Xingtian Army.

After all, Fu Deming was a real scholar, and his writing skills far exceeded that of Luo Yingjie and others. After Fu Deming decided to stay, he reorganized the various rules and regulations introduced by Xing Tianjun so far, re-summarizing and classifying them and polishing the words, making them simpler and easier to remember, and began to issue Xing Tianjun. Do things according to the rules.

At the same time, Fu Deming also competed with Yan Chongxi and other soldiers who used to be officers and soldiers. They sorted out some rules about the march and garrison in their memory. After Xiao Tianjian personally looked at the correction, he added them to the rules and improved the military rules related to the Xing Tianjun.

In short, although half a month is not long, it is very useful for Xing Tianjun. In this half month, Xing Tianjun has done a lot of things, which makes the whole structure of Xing Tianjun more reasonable.

But this peaceful day came to an end after Xiao Tianjian received a secret letter from Fengxiang Mansion.

"Stupid! So stupid! Chen Qiyu is so stupid! Such a good opportunity, he got it so much, it's really time to kill! ..." Fu Deming took the secret letter handed to him by Xiao Tianjian. After a cursory look, he immediately said angrily, but before he finished speaking, he immediately closed his mouth, because he suddenly realized that he had lost his words, because now he was no longer the poor scholar who worried about the country and the people, but also became a work. He was a chaotic person, so he scolded Chen Qiyu for being too stupid in front of Xiao Tianjian. Obviously, it was a taboo, so he quickly stopped talking and his face showed embarrassment.

Xiao Tianjian squint down at Fu Deming with an embarrassed face. He knew that it was impossible to change his way of thinking. Out of thinking inertia, Fu Deming would scold Chen Qiyu so much for being stupid, but he would not be unhappy because of this. What should come is still coming, and history is still following the original. In the development of the route, Chen Qiyu still fell into the fraudulent plan of the Rebels, which also confirmed his arrival. At least so far, it has not affected the development of the wheel of history, so he frowned at Deming and said, "Mr. Fu, in fact, we are no different from Wang Gao Yingxiang now. I hope you will be cautious in the future. For good! After all, this matter is a bad thing for the government and the court. I, Xiao, think that as long as it is unfavorable to the government, we should be happy!"

Fu Deming nodded awkwardly and bowed to Xiao Tianjian and said, "Please forgive me. Fu just had feelings for a moment and forgot his current identity. He will pay more attention to it in the future!"

Xiao Tianjian waved his hand and smiled indifferently and said, "Mr. Fu, you don't have to blame yourself. After all, you have just joined our army. This identity has changed too fast. It's not wrong to think so for a while!

But you said it well. Chen Qiyu did make a stupid move this time, so that the good situation was wasted by him! If I were you, I would say so! You don't have to worry!

Let's talk about it, since this matter has become a fore, how do you think the situation will develop next?

Seeing that Xiao Tianjian didn't care about his words just now, Fu Deming calmed down and read the secret letter in his hand. After thinking about it for a moment, he replied, "In this way, Gao Yingxiang and those civilian troops who have escaped from the carriage gorge this time will definitely enter the evil tiger and quickly leave the official army's bag. They jumped out of the encirclement and marched towards the hinterland of Shaanxi. Judging from the local situation in Shaanxi, there were a large number of people in various places, so although they had lost a lot of soldiers and horses before, they would quickly recover after getting out of trouble this time. Chen Qiyu has now lost the opportunity to eliminate it. Presumably the news of this matter has spread to the capital. Today, the saint Chen Qiyu can't be spared, and he will definitely be dismissed for investigation! ......”

"What happens to Chen Qiyu is not what I care about. Now what I am most concerned about is where we should go after a large number of civilian soldiers leave the carriage gorge!

You analyzed it well. After Gao Yingxiang and other volunteers come out of the carriage gorge, they will immediately jump out of the encirclement of the officers and soldiers and sweep the hinterland of Shaanxi, and the place where we now live is also the destination of Shaanxi. It will be difficult to be alone! If we still stay here, when the officers and soldiers free up their hands and chase Gao Yingxiang, they will never sit idly by. With our strength, we are not the opponents of a large number of officers and soldiers at present. Where should we go next? Xiao Tianjian interrupted Fu Deming impatiently.

Fu Deming nodded and said, "That's what I want to say next. In my opinion, no matter whether these rebels come to us or not, this place should never stay here for a long time! It's better for the big head to plan to leave here early!"

Xiao Tianjian sighed slightly and looked outside the Juyi Hall. Looking at the busy people outside, he was quite reluctant to say, "It's a pity that this Tianlongzhai. I only took a few brothers with me. It took me more than half a year to finally find this place to stop, but now I'm really reluctant to abandon it. !"

"The general trend is like this. I think the big head is also an ambitious person. Those who want to achieve great things should not be limited to the small profits in front of them. The big head will not be reluctant to give up such a small Tianlong Village in front of him!" Fu Deming looked at Xiao Tianjian's back and said to him with twinkling eyes. At the same time, he was also thinking in his heart that if Xiao Tianjian was reluctant to part with the Tianlong Village in front of him, then whether he would re-examine the decision to follow Xiao Tianjian.

"Ha ha! I just feel it. It's just a Tianlong Village, how can it make me move forward! Wouldn't that make Mr. Fu underestimate me, Xiao?

But how to go, we still need to make a plan. We must not run away in panic after hearing this news! In my opinion, if we still stay here, Tianlongzhai will definitely become a dead place. After the government returns the tiger to the mountain, it will immediately mobilize troops and horses to chase Gao Yingxiang and other road rebels. If I guess correctly, after the Rebels leave Shangluo this time, they will definitely move westward, and Fengxiang Mansion will definitely be the first to take the brunt. There will be a large number of officers and soldiers here. If we don't leave, the officers and soldiers will be happy to remember our people first!

It's just that I want to hear Mr. Fu's opinion. Even if we go, how can we go better? Xiao Tianjian turned his head with a smile and looked at Fu Deming and said to him.

After listening to this, Fu Deming walked to the front of the Shaanxi map hanging in the hall, looked up for a while, hesitated for a while and said to Xiao Tianjian, "Fu thinks it's better to do this..."
