Cheng Xiaolian naturally knows the price of taking risks, and once he receives damage, he has to let Daming shake his foundation. However, he is an adventurous person in his bones, and when he matures, of course, he will stay in Chengdu Mansion to eat, drink and have fun.

But people can go crazy, especially when all the Ming soldiers are fighting in all directions, his idea of wanting to fight always comes up involuntarily, and finally after being silent for nearly a year, he can no longer bear the dull days.

So after ending up with the biggest unstable factor in Chengdu Prefecture, Cheng Xiaolian rushed to Henan with soldiers and horses.

And Confucius is afraid that he has long expected that there will be such a day, so when he was in Chengdu, he armed his guard battalion to the teeth, the latest musket developed by the Ming Dynasty is a hand, Cheng Xiaolian's short-barreled musket dream is still not formed, because those craftsmen seem to have fallen into a dead end, the arquebus must rely on the long barrel to play a role, if you want to develop a percussive flintlock pistol, that is, a short gun, you must figure out the distance, Cheng Xiaolian has not studied it at all in his previous life, and the principle of firearms is black. Naturally, there is no way to give better advice.

In fact, if Cheng Xiaolian returns to later generations and flips through the history books, he will understand that as early as the seventh year of Chongzhen, Bi Maokang invented the flintlock pistol, but this firearm was destroyed before the Ming Dynasty could be developed on a large scale. In the Qing Dynasty, those Qing rulers hated firearms and thought that bows and horses were the right way, so flintlock pistols were only used as royal hunting playthings, until later the Qing Dynasty's firearms were far behind.

Cheng Xiaolian What they lack now is just a person who knows how to flintlock pistols, before that person appeared, the army could only be equipped with arquebuses, if it was a sneak attack, of course, this weapon was invincible, if it was a head-to-head battle, the soldiers preferred this kind of thing like palm thunder.

I can't help but admire the creativity of the Chinese people, this is hereditary, some things they don't know how to do, if they know how to do it, they can immediately make a thing to the extreme, palm thunder from the beginning of flammable and explosive, to now after several evolutions, not only the power has been strengthened, as long as the insurance is not twisted out, even if it falls on the ground, it will not explode.

Most of the soldiers stuck their arquebuses in the pouches at the front of their horses, with crossbows and palm thunders pinned to their waists, and long knives or spears in their hands.

Cheng Xiaolian and they rushed all the way, and it took a day and a half to rush to the outside of Ruzhou City, they had no flags on them, and there was no mark, so Yang Youcai naturally went to the city gate: "Prince Feng Jian's order, the Han army is leading Su Bisheng with a white flag to take over the city defense of Ruzhou, and quickly open the door." ”

The city gate was closed as early as when the traces of the cavalry in the distance were found at the head of the city, and after Tang Renjin was killed in battle, the imperial court had not yet sent a new Zhizhou, so Tongzhi stood up: "Please show your order." ”

"Bastard, where did the order come from when the army is fighting in Nanyang Mansion, do you think that there will be fish that have slipped through the net in the army from Nanyang Mansion? If you don't open the door again, I'm going to smash the door! ”

"Don't, don't, someone is here and open the city gates." Tongzhi is not as hard as Lord Tang, and after hearing their words, he has believed most of them, and I heard that the prince took the soldiers and horses of the entire Henan Province to press up, and those soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were lucky to get rid of it, and they would come to Ruzhou if they were crazy, you must know that Ruzhou is the hinterland of Henan, and it will be difficult for them to run.

As for the absence of such a thing, the prince has never cared about these small rules, especially when dealing with them, it is common not to give documents, and how many people in the world dare to embarrass the prince for such a trivial matter?

The gate of Ruzhou City was wide open, Cheng Xiaolian and they did not open a killing ring, there is no need to occupy this Ruzhou City by force, even if it is occupied, what is the use, it is like a scholar who went to the thief's den and built a house for himself, can this house stop those bandits? Second, Cheng Xiaolian still has his own follow-up plans, and these people are still useful.

Entering the city, Cheng Xiaolian stretched out his hand and pulled out a knife and put it on the neck of Lord Tongzhi: "I heard that you Ruzhou did not listen to the order and sent troops to Nanyang Mansion without permission, have you already taken refuge in the Ming Dynasty?" ”

Master Tongzhi immediately knelt on the ground with weak legs: "Don't dare, we tried our best to dissuade Lord Tang from sending troops, who knew that he was confused and insisted on going his own way, he is the governor of a state, but it is not something we can control." ”

Cheng Xiaolian snorted: "Don't put all the blame on the dead, the prince sent us over this time just to see if your Ruzhou is not my Ruzhou of the Qing Dynasty." ”

"Yes, it must be, it always will be!" Saying that, the acquaintance said flatteringly: "I will prepare a banquet in the mansion, and invite the general to the banquet." ”

Cheng Xiaolian was stunned for a moment: "The business is not done yet, and I don't have the heart to eat and drink for the time being, let me ask you, how is the preparation of the army's food and grass?" ”

"According to the prince's requirements, three thousand stones of grain and grass have been prepared, and this will be escorted to the front."

Cheng Xiaolian nodded: "Even if you are able to do things well, leading the way, I still have important things to hand over to you." ”

Master Tongzhi led the people all the way to his mansion: "You sit down for a while, and I will let people prepare the banquet." ”

Cheng Xiaolian glanced at him: "Go and go back quickly." ”

After Lord Tongzhi left, Yang Youcai coughed: "Let's show the stuffing." ”

"How do you know?"

"Just now, when the general said that you should not put all the blame on the dead man, his complexion changed several times, and by the time you said the grain and grass incident, he was completely sure of something. This is the banquet proposed, otherwise invite a group of big-headed soldiers to dinner, why don't you go to the restaurant and set up a banquet in your own home, wouldn't it lead the wolf into the room? ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled bitterly: "We don't know anything about their situation, so we can only rely on logic to say something to deceive them, but this time it is obviously not useful, tell the brothers to prepare for battle." ”

After a while, Lord Tongzhi had already walked in and regained a smile on his face: "There are no delicacies at home, but it just so happened that a deer was caught a few days ago, and it was stewed, and today I will eat this whole deer feast." ”

Cheng Xiaolian smiled and said casually: "I heard that when King Fu of the previous dynasty died, he was stewed with deer and called it the Fulu Banquet, I don't know if you have heard of this allusion." ”

"Haha, this allusion has naturally been heard, but we are not thieves, and eating human flesh is impossible to do, I have already asked people to put Fuguo in the pot, which can be regarded as the name of this Fulu feast!"
