Chapter 26 Police
Chen Mu could feel the oppression brought to the military households by the Japanese invaders in Guangdong.
In his previous life, he never thought that the Japanese in this era was a big deal, and even when he heard that dozens of Japanese invaders had moved thousands of miles to the southeast, and everything they attacked and plundered was undefended, he thought it was like a joke. But when he arrived at this era, he really felt how much pressure there was on dozens or hundreds of armed pirates that could invade at any time as a living beings living in this land.
He had never experienced ancient wars, but the battle in Black Ridge made him understand that battles are not paper numbers, you are a soldier and I am a soldier, and it is flat.
There is no such thing.
If I kill one of you, the other three of you will be afraid, and I will rush up and kill another one, and the last two will run away, and if I escape, I can still catch up and hack one to kill one and catch one.
On the battlefield, people are really angry and powerful.
Just like Qingyuanwei, to produce, harvest grain, crush rice, think about gunpowder and think about armor, and send military households to protect the fields and key roads within a radius of twenty or thirty miles. They don't need to think about this, they just need to kill and rob, and that's enough.
There is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days, but that's exactly what they're doing right now.
On the second day after Fu Yuan left Anyuan Station, Bai Yuanjie sent someone to send two black balls with fuses inserted into the fuses from Qingyuanwei, Bai Qi said that this thing was called 'Wuli Mist', and when he found the enemy's situation, he lit the fuse, which could release a lot of smoke, which could make the military households along the way report to the guard post to be prepared. He also specifically told him that the smoke emitted by this fog ball was poisonous, and he hurried to ride a horse when he ignited it and threw it away.
A dozen enemies lose one, and hundreds of enemies lose two.
As for how the enemy should be thousands, Chen Mu didn't ask, and Bai Qi didn't say. Not to mention that there is no possibility of thousands of Japanese robbers, even if there are thousands of chaotic troops, according to the behavior of the Qingyuan Wei military household, the triple soldiers can't be defeated, just flee as soon as possible.
Shao Tingda no longer gags and says those useless words, except for the nervous duty by the Feishui Bridge to practice knives in the yard of the post station, even if he is free, he will sit at the door and sharpen his Yanling knife over and over again, sharpening the knife so that there is no trace of rust.
In the middle, he also took leave from Chen Mu, went to Qingyuan City, and bought a new knife on Phoenix Street. The reason for buying the knife was that he heard the storyteller Shi Qi mention the knife of the Japanese Kou very quickly, and he was worried that the old knife would not be forbidden.
Chen Mu knew that Shao Tingda, who showed his willfulness and bravery, was actually scared in his heart, who could not be afraid? Chen Mu was actually more afraid in his heart. In the era in which he lived, Chinese culture was in decline, but the culture of the islands across the sea was fierce, and to some extent, the Japanese samurai and Vikings were called the most ferocious warriors.
In the past, Chen Mu could talk about the heroic posture of his ancestors, Han and Tang warriors, with ridicule - but Chen Mu also clearly knew that he was not an opponent.
He wanted to dig the cave for a long time, and often looked up at the cave not far from the station, but he didn't dare to go. If the Wako did come, he didn't want to leave his back to the enemy at the beginning of the mutual discovery between the two sides, and he wanted to aim his guns at the high walls of the post station at these intruders from the sea, and kill the fiercest of their leaders as a loud bang of gunpowder filled the air.
Even if they were real Wakos, they would not all be samurai, but the leader of them would inevitably be the best of the martial arts.
What would it be like to kill a samurai who had been trained to kill people since childhood with a lead pellet?
Chen Mu wanted to try it.
But there was no chance, and the braggaking and boasting waiting consumed all Chen Mu's energy, and for a whole month and a half, with the arrival of winter, Qingyuan Wei continued to have Tanma to bring the news of the Guangdong Metropolitan Division to the various posts of the guard station in - a large number of Japanese robbers landed in Huizhou Mansion Daxingjian, Pinghai could not be defeated, and then plundered to Guishan and was driven away by the Ming army, and the rest of the party scattered to various places; Zengcheng in Guangzhou Prefecture sent a police, Maotian was plundered, and Conghua County, which was only seventy or eighty miles away from Qingyuanwei, also sent out a warning sign, but it disappeared when the general army led the army to encircle and suppress.
The postman Ke Ze'er was in a panic all day long, kneeling down to the Buddha statue every day, chanting words in his mouth, saying something like the law and the like, which attracted Chen Mu to ridicule.
This kid is too unreligious, even if there are really gods and Buddhas, he will not bless such a fan.
Shi Qi was much more straightforward than the gods and Buddhas, and put the bird gun in front of Ke Ze'er with a bang, "Worship the gun now, this thing can bless you more than the Buddha statue; If it really doesn't work, I'll go and worship my little flag, it's much more useful than this! ”
There is no more truthful than that.
Fu Yuan really got Chen Mu back the bird gun, and only used one or two or four coins of silver to buy a wolf gun from the gambler Li Zongqi under the command of Wei Qi Qianhu. It can't be said to be a purchase, after all, they made an agreement that if Li Zongqi had money in April next year, Chen Mu would return the wolf in its original envelope. But no matter what, this sword is now Chen Mu's weapon.
The original bird gun, Chen Mu handed it over to Shi Qi for use. There was no way, Fu Yuan wouldn't make a gun, Chen Mu rewarded him with five coins of silver.
Li Zongqi's pole has basically not been fired, and the gun pipe is maintained well, but the wooden handle is not far from decay, Chen Mu asked the Guan family father and son to rush him out of a wooden gun bed and tie it with five iron hoops again, and the whole gun is like new.
It just looks a little uglier.
Limited materials, Guan Yuangu can only use the wood near the left of Anyuan Post Station to make the gun bed, there is still water in the wood, not to mention that there is no oil and paint, resulting in the new gun bed does not look so beautiful.
Chen Mu didn't care about this, and when he got through this invasion of the Japanese invaders, he would go to Guangzhou Mansion to buy a new gun. He only has one thing in his mind now, and when this matter passes, he will take advantage of the idleness of the guard in the winter, select five or six people from the trusted family members of Yu Ding, such as Old Man Zheng and Shao Tingda, to summon Anyuan Station, go to the cave to direct them to boil nitrate, and wait until the beginning of spring to send people to Guangzhou Mansion to sell it.
Entering November, the weather is already very cold, although the winter in Lingnan is not as cold as in the north, but the cold and biting wind seems to be shabby armor can not be stopped, fortunately, the original Chen Mu had the foresight to exchange rice and grain for a new jacket to drape outside, otherwise this day is really not easy.
Even so, every day when I wake up, the jacket is stained with moisture and feels slimy, but I can't wring out the water, which is very uncomfortable.
Just when Chen Mu thought that the invasion of the Japanese invaders had passed, he was about to start calling his Yu Ding to come to the cave to mine nitrate, but on this day, he suddenly heard the alarm from the guard. Along the way, the riders rode their horses and rushed over, knocking on the gong and shouting loudly outside the Anyuan Post Station early in the morning, and when Chen Mu went out, he heard the news that Tanma was eager and made his face pale.
"The Japanese came down the river, first attacked the Qingyuan Gorge in the northeast, the guards of the Qingyuan Gorge could not stop it, and now they have been killed by the hundred households! Hurry back to Qingyuan City to find their own 100 households, and prepare to defend the city! ”
