Early in the morning of the second day, when the night was as cold as water, Dong Ce got up.

The houses have two rows, built opposite each other. Each row of houses is divided into several small rooms, each room has a fire kang inside, and there are pots and stoves, water tanks, dishes and other things outside, which are used by the defenders and families in the pier. Even these things belong to the public government, not private, and if they are transferred, they cannot be taken away.

Anxiangdun has been built for decades, and it is said that it has been built since the middle of the Wanli year, and the construction of these houses can be imagined by cutting corners and falling into disrepair. Most of them are broken and leaking, and the doors and windows are damaged, which is just stronger than the shack.

Low, shabby, the adobe walls blackened by the fires of the stove for an unknown number of years, and a strange smell permeated the inside and outside of the house.

Dong Ce's room was the second in the row of houses to the west.

The sun is best and most abundant here, and the piers are close to the piers, which can block the cold north wind and bring rare warmth in winter. This house is also the most intact and well-preserved, with complete doors and windows, and a leaky roof. Even Xia Dongrun hired someone to wrap a layer of bricks inside and outside the house not long ago and renovated it, but unfortunately it is all cheaper now Dong Ce.

Living in a row with Dong Ce were Shi Jin, Wang Hun, Zhou Bo, and Li Gui's family. Wang Tong and Zhou Zhong were sent to that row and stared at the rest of the residents.

Dong Ce was not very reassured of them.

—1-Books—Reading-Novels{y}{b}{d}{u} After getting up, Dong Ce punched and practiced a gun as usual, and before he knew it, half an hour had passed.

There was a sound of applause behind him, Dong Ce looked back, Shi Jin stroked his palm and praised: "Dong Tou'er is so handsome." ”

"Hah!" Dong Ce finished the last move, withdrew his hand and stood solemnly, after a long while, after the rapid breathing calmed down, Fang Cai laughed: "Do you want to learn?" ”

"Yes!" Shi Jin was stunned for a moment, and then his gaze became eager.

Dong Ce walked to the front of the water tank, filled a bucket of water and poured it down, and the cold water splashed on the hot body, which was extremely refreshing.

"Comfortable!" He sighed, laughed, turned to Shi Jin and said, "It's a pity, I won't teach you if you want to learn." ”

Shi Jin's face couldn't help but change, he smiled awkwardly, and was about to speak, but Dong Ce looked at him with a smile and said, "Do you think I cherish my broom?" ”

Shi Jin really thought so in his heart, and couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.

"My Taizu long fist, Dong family gun, is not a profound martial art, how can I treasure myself?" Dong Ce stared at him and said, "The reason why I didn't teach you is because this is a martial art that fights alone, but it is not the ability to kill people on the battlefield." I'm going to teach you how to kill your enemies in the simplest way to preserve your abilities. Do you understand this? ”

Shi Jin suddenly realized, couldn't help but feel confused in his heart, and hugged his fists and said ashamedly: "Dong Tou'er, I misunderstood you." ”

Dong Ce laughed and patted him on the shoulder: "I can make the black long worm who is famous and ten miles shop apologize, and I, Dong Er, can be regarded as capable." ”

He said with a straight face: "Shi Jin, I am now the first chief, I am your leader, sometimes, the decisions I make have my own intentions, it is inconvenient to say, and there is no need to say it." I don't want to hear the voices of doubt, do you understand? Shi Jin looked at Dong Ce, and after a while, he knelt on one knee and said in a deep voice: "Obey the order!" ”

Dong Ce showed a smile on his face, he knew that he had finally completely subdued this subordinate.

This is a process, not one or two things, but an accumulation after a short period of time together.

Among all his subordinates, Dong Ce values Shi Jin the most, he can fight and fight, and at the same time, he is also scheming, ruthless, calm and sophisticated, such a person, if used well, he is a talent who can take charge of himself.

He washed and wrung out his wet clothes, hung them on a rope in front of the house, went into the house, dried his hair, and changed into clean clothes.

When I came out again, the pier was already lively, and every household began to light a fire to cook, and a smoky smell enveloped the space inside the wall.

Dong Ce was squatting on the ground and brushing his teeth with a toothbrush made of poplar and hard bristles dipped in salt, which was prepared for him by Red Sleeves, like this kind of small thing for daily use, Red Sleeves prepared a lot for him. Including a clean sheet and a thin quilt, otherwise, he really couldn't stand letting Dong Ce sleep on the dirty bedding that Xia Dongrun had used.

Wang Tong walked over, looked at the clothes that were drying, and said, "Dong Tou'er, you still wash your clothes by yourself and hand them over to us." ”

Dong Ce rinsed his mouth, looked at him and said firmly: "Hear clearly, Wang Tong, the reason why I allowed you to follow me here is not to ask for a slave who can serve me tea and water, wash and cook for me, but because I value your cleverness and your ability." Don't be presumptuous, you're no worse than anyone else! Remember, Wang Tong, we are military men, and we are military men who want to kill Dongnu! Not a minion! ”

Listening to Dong Ce's words, Wang Tong couldn't help but be stunned.

Dong Ce had already turned around and left, but he was still standing still, thoughtful.

When the sun rose, Li Gui also sent a dustpan of cakes. The yellow-orange corn cakes are full of weight, fragrant and soft, and there are also some small pickles, which everyone eats sweetly.

In this day and age, it is really very happy to be able to eat these things.

After eating, they went to the field to work, and Dong Ce was also preparing for today's business - cleaning up the belongings!

This is the most important thing for Dong Ce, how many cards he has in his hand now directly determines how well his big plan will be completed in the future.

Almost all the belongings in the pier were stored in the warehouse next to the gate, Dong Ce walked into the warehouse first, and Shi Jin and the others followed behind, all holding torches in their hands.

Perhaps because the things stored are more important, this storehouse is made of large blue bricks, the floor is also paved with bricks, the door is locked, there is not even a window, and the inside is pitch black.

I don't know how long this door hasn't been opened, and as soon as I enter, I can smell an extremely strong and disgusting smell.

Several people couldn't help but cover their noses, but Dong Ce was happy, as long as it wasn't a moldy smell.

There are about seven or eight meters in it, and the space is not small, and it is full of all kinds of messy things, and it is full of dust, and I am afraid that it will have to be cleaned up for several years.

The warehouse of a side pier, a military powerhouse, has not been cleaned up for several years, Dong Ce doesn't want to say anything about it, and he is just powerless in his heart. Over the past few days, Dong Ce has seen many shortcomings, and these things he has seen, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, are just the tip of the iceberg. This Ming Dynasty is really rotten to the roots, rotten to the bones.

He glanced at it, and immediately assigned the task: "Wang Hun, you clean up the north, Zhou Bo and Zhou Zhong, you two clean up the east, Shijin Wang Tong, you clean up the south, and I clean up the west." Pick out all the weapons that are in good condition, including the ones that are not too badly damaged, and take them to the yard to dry, and do not touch the things you don't know, and show them to me. Got it? ”

"Yes, sir!" The crowd agreed.

Wang Hun muttered, "Why should I do a wall alone?" ”

Dong Ce glared: "Wang Hun, what kind of fart are you putting there?" ”

Wang Hun's neck shrank: "Nothing, nothing!" ”

This rammer is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is only convinced by Dong Ce, just like a cat seeing a mouse.

Dong Ce gave the order, and everyone took action one after another.

For a while, the warehouse was filled with smoke and dust, and the sound of cold and cold squeezing continued to sound, and several people rummaged through the boxes and cabinets like bandits robbing their homes, not letting go of any suspicious thing.

There is too much dust here, and Dong Ce wants to sprinkle some water to suppress the ashes first, but considering that many things in it are afraid of water, especially gunpowder and firearms, he has no choice but to give up.

Dong Ce covered his mouth and nose and squeezed up and down in the west, and the more he tossed, the more gloomy his face became.

It can be seen that under the west wall, there was originally a large shelf, which was one zhang high, leading to the roof. The shelves were divided into several tiers and were filled with bows and arrows. But by this time the shelves had collapsed, wooden shelves, rotten planks, everywhere, and many bows and arrows in them, piled up in a mess.

Dong Ce rubbed the general sawdust on the ground behind him, which was extremely fine and formed by insect bites, so it can be seen that the insects should have bitten the foundation, and then the shelf could not bear the weight of the top, so it collapsed. It's a long process, and when it collapses, it's not small, but no one notices it, or if it does, no one cares.

Dong Ce sank down, no longer paid attention to these, and stretched out his hand to pull in this pile of rags.

Some bows were broken in the middle, and some bowstrings were cracked. Some of them seem to be intact, but they open as soon as they are pulled, and they have no strength at all, and I don't know what rotten wood they are made of.

After a big meal, Dong Ce came to the conclusion that among these ordnance, fifty percent of them were damaged, two percent were unqualified, and the remaining thirty percent could be used.

Shi Jin and the others are similar, they are all good and less, and they are more bad.

They carried all the ordnance intact into the courtyard and took a closer look in the sunlight.

In the end, the statistics showed that there were three firearms, two of which seemed to be intact, but in fact, they had rusted into a lump of iron and could not be used at all. There are still six fireropes to use, and one for the other three or two parts. There were three pieces of gunpowder, a total of one pound, which was not damp and could be used after drying, and ten pieces of lead bullets.

As for the gun and the three-eyed gun recorded on the stone tablet, I didn't see the shadow at all, I don't know if it was gone, or it was simply secretly sold by the commander of the armor who didn't know which one it was - this thing was purchased at a high price by the Houjin people, and it could be sold for a lot of money.

In terms of cold weapons, since the spear and waist knife were carried with him, only some bows and arrows were found. There were nine bows and seventy arrows. In addition to this, there were six targets, three scabbards, five barrels.

No more.
