Chapter 86

This dad recognizes it

The scorching sun is burning and the hot wind is blowing. There seems to be a woman's whimpering sound in the wind, which makes people feel cold on their backs.

What exactly happened here? What kind of person can do such a vicious move? Even if you kill good people, you can't do such an immoral thing.

There are rumors everywhere that in order to take credit for the officers and soldiers killed innocent people and slaughtered Qingyuan. However, Tie Mo and others knew deeply that these were lies.

Heiyunlong walked into the dilapidated county government office and saw a broken wall. There was a head hanging under the plaque in the lobby. This head had been burned beyond recognition.

Finally, he could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. Heiyunlong pulled out his knife and looked at the broken wall next to him frantically, "Beasts... these beasts actually used such a vicious move... They were useless to be human..."

Heiyunlong was of course angry. Someone did such atrocities, but in the end he was blamed on someone else's head.

The closest officers and soldiers to Qingyuan County are Hei Yunlong and Tie Mo. Although they didn't say it clearly, it was actually clear that they were saying that they had killed good deeds.

Tiemo is not as uncontrollable as Black Cloud Dragon. He doesn't have much good impression of the so-called rebels.

Those rebel leaders, who heard the extraordinary heroes and heroes, were actually all ambitious. These people are not much better than the so-called heroes in Water Margin.

I couldn't figure out how the bandits could get out of the predicament before, but I didn't expect that these people were really cruel and threw away all the burdens that dragged down the speed of the marching.

Tie Mo secretly swore in his heart that if he knew who created the Qingyuan City tragedy, he would have to put that person in the oil pan and fry it.

In midsummer, the corpse can't be stored for long. In less than a day, mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, emitting a disgusting odor everywhere. Tens of thousands of corpses in Qingyuan City, if not dealt with in time, it is easy to cause epidemics.

It was not safe to dig a hole to bury the body, so hundreds of fires were placed to burn the body.

The difference between officers and soldiers and bandits is here. As a destroyer, bandits can burn, kill, loot, and turn around and leave, but the officers and soldiers cannot do it and must clean up the bodies.

It is always easier for the destroyer and the builder to do things, but it is difficult for the builder to do things.

......

The siege of Taiyuan Prefecture was lifted, but before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, they heard the bad news again.

The fleeing rebels conquered Wenshui County and Fenzhou. In order to retaliate against the atrocities of the officers and soldiers in Qingyuan City, the bandits robbed the two county towns. The men and women in the city almost turned the two county towns into ruins.

It can be said that after the bandits looted, Wenshui and Fenzhou were exactly the same as Qingyuan County, and most of the women in the two cities were also taken away by the bandits.

On August 12, the first year of Chongzhen, the rebels defeated Wenshui and passed Fenzhou, entered Shaanxi, and gathered in Suide and Mizhi in batches. They fled and looted countless people, which directly led to the three cities turning into ruins, and nearly one million Shanxi people were homeless, especially Qingyuan County, which almost turned into a dead city.

The military situation was sent back to the capital, and the court was furious. Emperor Chongzhen, who knew the whole story, wanted to capture the Taiyuan prefect Ye Heng back to the capital for questioning.

However, due to the pleading of the cabinet and most of the six ministers, Zhu Youjian had to give up. In the end, the Taiyuan prefect Ye Heng was demoted and transferred to the Nanjing Ministry of Personnel as the chief official. Donglin Party member, the censor Gao Jie, was the new prefect, and he took office soon.

Ye Heng was demoted, which made Tie Mo very upset.

In theory, it is not enough to cut the head ten times with the mistakes made by Ye Heng. The situation in Shanxi is so corrupt, and there is a direct reason for Ye Heng's blind command. If Ye Heng had not been randomly dispatched troops, the bandits would not have allowed the bandits to break into Shanxi easily.

If someone else had made a mistake like Ye Heng, he would have died long ago.

It turns out that there are people in the court who are easy to be an official, and forming cliques is still beneficial.

Some people were demoted, some were promoted. Tiemo was one of them. Given the battles between Taiheling and Heishui River, Tiemo was promoted to the top of the general manager, and his troops were no longer organized by the Wei, but were directly under the battle sequence of the Beijing Camp of Xuanfu.

Although he has accumulated merit and promoted it to a thousand generals, his real power and duties have not changed much. He is still the Chief of Zhangbei's Guard and the Dark Village Fort.

......

Zhangbei is in a mess, but here you can clearly see a busy scene. Perhaps it is still very desolate, but there is vitality everywhere.

The biggest gain of Tiemo's dispatch of troops to suppress bandits this time was not military merits, but the distribution of a lot of materials.

When materials are transferred, each Shanxi merchant can get almost no less than 30,000 taels of benefits.

These benefits have strengthened the confidence of several Shanxi merchants and made this cooperative relationship more stable.

Seeing the benefits, the Chang family and the Cao family also supported Tiemo's military expansion and training operations, especially the military ordnance, without any restrictions.

In a month, Zhangbei City has undergone earth-shaking changes. The Chang family, Cao family, and Yang family have transferred their shops to Zhangbei. In addition, Duofuhao is also preparing in an orderly manner.

......

Zhangbei Xicheng was marked out to make a firearm workshop, and the old man Zhao Jinrong became the general manager of the workshop.

Although the workshop was only first built, Zhao Jinrong, a lunatic, has been involved in the improvement of the firearms. Today, he came to the workshop and was also pulled by Zhao Jinrong.

"Dad, my child has fought several battles and is so tired that you can't let me sleep well for two days?"

"What kind of complaints? Sleep is important or musket is important?" Zhao Jinrong opened a wooden box and bent over to pick up the musket inside.

After seeing this musket, Tiemo's eyes widened, and his sleepiness suddenly disappeared without a trace.

The shape of the musket in front of me is no different from the bird gun used in the army, but Tiemo still sees some differences.

First of all, there is an extra triangular type of stuffing hole, which reduces the slot for setting the fuse. The top of the barrel also changes, with an additional round slot, and the barrel is also longer.

Just a glance, Tiemo was sure that this was definitely not a traditional musket.

When he came to an open place outside, when Zhao Jinrong opened the slot for filling gunpowder, Tiemo discovered more differences.

In addition to the grooves that fill gunpowder, there is actually a long groove in front. What is the extra long groove for?

Without waiting for Tie Mo to ask, Zhao Jinrong took out something from the cloth bag around his waist and put it in the groove.

Now, Tiemo was so excited that he couldn't speak.

The conical long strip-shaped ammunition is similar to the bullets of later generations. More importantly, the ammunition is not stabbed into the barrel.

Breeze loading...

Oh my God, the breeze loading, and it is not the kind of spherical lead bullet.

After loading, he poured lit of gunpowder into the groove behind, closed the slot, raised his hand and shot it in the distance.

With a bang, there was a black hole in the big willow tree more than thirty feet away.

Looking at the big willow tree in the distance, Tiemo kept swallowing and staring at him, as if he was dementia.

A very long range, look at that black hole, the effective range is at least ten feet away from the bird gun, and the most important thing is the breeze loading.

The bore-loading to the bore-loading bore-loading is definitely a qualitative leap. Thinking about stuffing lead bullets into the barrel before and poking them again, it feels like eating shit.

后膛装弹,节省了多少时间?

Also, for muskets, the real soul is not the musket itself, but the bullet.

The ammunition used by Zhao Jinrong has already taken the prototype of the bullets of later generations, although it still needs to be ignited with gunpowder.

As for why it can be fired smoothly without a fuse, I still know a little about iron ink, which must be flint firing, which is what later generations call flint firing.

燧发枪,后膛装弹,锥形子弹!

Tie Mo looked straight at Zhao Jinrong, his eyes shining with golden light.
