Chapter 94 Stealing the City
Seeing that Li Huamin agreed, Pei Xiaoer's face softened slightly, "Everyone else, please disperse! Li Huamin, please accompany me for a walk."
The two of them walked slowly along the nearby path that had been trampled by others. "This Song Xian has some skills. Where did you hire him from?"
Hearing Pei Xiaoer talk about this, Li Huamin was embarrassed, scratched his head and said: "General, it sounds like it's thanks to you. After you captured Wenxi County a few days ago, many people ran away.
When I came with Old General Pei, I found Song Xian and others on the roadside who were about to starve to death. Seeing that they were about to starve to death, General Pei couldn't bear to order me to give them some food.
After sending it over, I asked casually.
After asking this question, I found out that these people were all craftsmen who used to work under the command of Dihu. They secretly ran out of the city while you were fighting with the army. I gave him something to stutter, and they expressed their gratitude for the life of my Pei family army.
, and then came back with us.”
"Well, you did a good job on this matter." Pei Xiaoer patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "You also know that our army is very different from the officers and soldiers. Regardless of the officers and soldiers, there are too many food shortages.
They had no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat, but in fact they still had elites and their armors were also excellent. In the hands of these officers and soldiers, the rebel army could not even overcome the wind and waves, and was destroyed.
Our army can only do better and more sophisticated than the officers and soldiers, so that it can survive in the hands of the officers and soldiers. And to do this, your weapons supervisor is the key, you understand what I mean!"
"I understand. I will definitely be able to take charge of the weapons inspection and produce more sophisticated armor and more suitable weapons for the army."
"Okay, if you can remember this, I will be very happy. You will be indispensable for promotion and wealth in the future."
"Thank you, General."
"By the way, is there still no trace of the artillery building?" Pei Xiaoer was speechless when talking about this.
When he was attacking Shangwangzhuang, Pei Xiaoer found that his artillerymen were not very skilled at the job, so he ordered them to go back and fire more cannons to practice.
As a result, these people were obedient and fired more cannons. As a result, the only cannon was completely destroyed. Fortunately, several gunners were not killed on the spot, which can be considered a great blessing among misfortunes.
Okay. So Pei Xiaoer returned to the embarrassing situation of having a gunner but no cannon. In desperation, Pei Xiaoer had to order Li Huamin to try more to see if he could produce a cannon.
Li Huamin stopped and lowered his head in shame, not daring to look at Pei Xiaoer, "I am ashamed. So far, I have no clue."
Pei Xiaoer sighed. There was nothing he could do about this matter. He did not study chemical engineering or mechanical processing before, so he basically knew nothing about this matter. He could only rely on the craftsmen of this era to slowly figure it out.
.
After encouraging Li Huamin, he sent him away. Seeing that there was nothing to do here, Pei Xiaoer led his troops back.
Anyi
At this time, the squad leader was still on duty at the west gate of Anyi. I saw him lying lazily on a chair, basking in the sun. It was late autumn and the weather was getting colder. The squad leader was now on duty.
On the left hand side is a small table with a teapot and teacup on it. In the right hand, he holds a scratcher and scratches his body twice. The warm sunshine shines on his body, which makes him feel particularly comfortable.
I was bored and saw that the class leader accidentally caught a glimpse of a young man leading dozens of young men in the distance, each carrying firewood on their shoulders, and pushing several carts behind him, which were also filled with firewood, slowly heading towards the city.
Walking through the door was none other than the generous young man from yesterday.
The squad leader was overjoyed and got up from his chair, secretly thinking that the fat sheep has come. With how generous this man was, he only asked for less than five taels of silver last time. Every time he thought about this, the squad leader hated himself for being too merciful. This time
That guy is coming again. You can't get past him without killing him fifty taels of silver. He wants to get back everything he lost last time.
The squad leader from afar stopped Sun Kewang and his group, walked forward slowly, looked at a few people with sideways eyes, and looked at the people behind him with such a arrogant attitude that he almost couldn't help it, and he was about to take action now.
Sun Kewang secretly comforted the people behind him and walked up to the squad leader with a smile on his face.
"I've met Mr. Cha. The boys and fellow villagers want to come over and sell some firewood. Please ask Mr. Cha to be accommodating."
Just as he was talking, Sun Kewang took the hand of the squad leader, put a five-tael piece of silver into the squad leader's hand without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "This is how we, the young ones, respect your elders."
The squad leader took the silver and weighed it in his hands. He estimated in his mind that the silver was about five taels, which was far from the fifty taels he planned to want. He secretly cursed this guy for not knowing how to do things.
Raising his head, the squad leader said to the crowd with his nostrils: "No, no, no, the county magistrate has issued an order. He said that Zhuangzi in the west has been captured by rogue bandits. Now the city is under martial law and no one is allowed to enter or leave. Go back to where you came from."
"
As he said that, he raised his hand and stuffed the amount of money into his arms. If you don't do anything and still accept money from others, this guy is extremely shameless.
Sun Kewang was filled with hatred, but thinking that his task had not been completed, he had no choice but to join in with a few people. A total of more than forty taels of silver were collected, and they were all put into the hands of the squad leader. He thought to himself, give it to me first
Keep it, I’ll kill you later, and the money will come back, but he said with a smile on his face.
"Master Cha, our brothers are carrying on their shoulders and there are several large carts. It is really troublesome to come and go. I hope Master Cha will be accommodating. After the villain sells the firewood, there will be another big thank you."
.”
The squad leader was a little surprised. It seemed that Sun Kewang took a look and didn't expect this guy to be so rich. He took out more than fifty taels of silver as soon as he was told. Is this how you make money by selling firewood? But when he heard that there was another thank you
After a few words, his eyes turned red, and the greed in his heart had already overtaken everything, and he said quickly.
"Easy to say, easy to say. I see that you are timid and you are from the nearby countryside. I guess there is no problem and it is not easy. I will help if I can. You go to the city quickly!"
"Yes! Master Cha, you are really discerning. We are from the nearby countryside. Thank you very much, Master Cha, for being so accommodating. Master Cha is such a good person," Sun Kewang complimented while calling the people behind him to walk quickly towards the city gate.
"Wait a minute." The squad leader suddenly said.
Sun Kewang's heart was shocked, and the people behind him were shocked at the same time. They all thought that they had been exposed. They reached into the nearby car and touched the knife handle hidden in the car. With just one order from Sun Kewang, they could go on a killing spree.
