Buried alive in the Qing Dynasty

What grenade hammer?Eunuch Pang said in his heart: "This is obviously a precious wine jug!"

Zhu Hesheng laughed and said: "With it, Big Brother Hui will definitely believe that my father belongs to the third prince Zhu...and he will also send troops to help break the siege of Guiyu's capital city!"

this one?Eunuch Pang thought to himself: "It seems that Huo Pao Zhu has really gone crazy... It's better not to argue with a lunatic. Isn't he just going to give the difficult auspicious pot to Da Lao Hui? At worst, it's difficult to go back and ask Da Lao Hui for help. want."

Just as he was thinking, Zhu Hesheng spoke again, "Mr. Factory, after Big Brother Hui has seen this evidence, it's your turn to play. Do you know what to say?"

"Ah," Eunuch Pang thought for a while, "Then, let's say that Nan and Nan's adoptive father followed the secret decree of Master Wei Temple and secretly escorted His Royal Highness King Ding south... Is this feasible?"

"What about the secret decree?" Zhu Hesheng asked again.

"Secret decree..." Eunuch Pang thought about it again, "It's hard to remember, the secret decree was taken to Yunnan by Godfather Nan."

"Okay," Zhu Hesheng nodded, and said with a smile, "that's it. Tomorrow, I will go to Dahao with Yongmeng Su to meet the boss Hui! You and my aunt should have Mr. Guo to wait a few more days, which means that the second master can get the evidence done Let’s go to Dahao together.”

That's all?Eunuch Pang was stunned again, he hasn't said how to arrange the marriage proposal to Miss Qiu Si!Ruo finally knew that he was a toad and couldn't eat that piece of swan meat, so he gave up?

Chapter 032: The Qing Dynasty is coming to an end!

Dahao, the Yamen of Chaozhou General Army of the Ming Dynasty.

Chaozhou General Soldier, Zhongyong Bo Qiu Hui's Guard Association, formed a neat four-row line at the gate of the yamen, blowing suona, beating gongs and drums, and holding the general's command flag of the three armies and Zhongyong Bo's acknowledgment flag.All the soldiers of the guard battalion put on cloth armor, or held spears, or carried turtledove footfire guns on their shoulders, and stood quietly.A co-leader holding a waist knife was walking back and forth in front of the team.

The main gate of Zongbing Yamen was wide open, Qiu Hui's son Qiu Rong was waiting inside the gate leading a dozen Liao Zuo from Chaozhou Town of Ming Dynasty.As for Qiu Hui and Chen Yonghua, of course it is impossible to welcome them.Zhu Qipao is just a lieutenant of Fengguo from the sixth rank, and the strength of the two of them, father and son, is only equivalent to an alliance of Ming Zheng's army at most.

Zhu Jushan, Zhu Qipao and his son have visited many times before, but they have never enjoyed such treatment. Today, Qiu Hui doesn't know what An's idea is, to welcome Zhu Qipao's visit with such great fanfare.

Although Qiu Hui's power is not small, it was created at the beginning. It is inevitable that it has the meaning of a grassroots team, and the internal hierarchy is not strict. Many of Qiu Hui's assistants may be a little in awe of the big brother Hui, but he and his son Dao Scarong are laughing and joking. used to it.So if you don't understand, just ask directly.

"Brother Qiu, I heard that Cannon Zhu Crazy has disappeared, is there such a thing?"

"Brother Qiu, I heard that Hu Pao Zhu was beaten stupid by the dog officer in Chaozhou Prefecture. Is it true?"

"Brother, I heard that the cannon Zhu Fabing was sixty, occupied the pigsty of the factory owner, and drove all the pigs out?"

"Isn't this stupid and crazy?"

"Boss shouldn't marry Fourth Miss to a fool and lunatic, right?"

"Certainly not, it's impossible even if he's not stupid or crazy! He has no engagement with Miss Fourth, it's just a toad wanting to eat swan meat."

"that is……"

Qiu Rong didn't say a word, just drooped a scarred face, full of helplessness and sadness... such a good person, why is he so stupid and crazy?

While the gangster Hui's subordinates were talking about Zhu Qipao's condition, he concealed his soul-changing disease, and at the same time, he didn't know that he was Zhu Hesheng who came for a blind date. He was leading his team and entered Dahao. The commercial port also swaggered towards the Zongbing Yamen.

Although the number of people in this team is not large, there are more than two hundred people in total.But this energy made everyone who saw them along the way feel refreshed... It's hard to describe energy, but it's easy to feel it.

The formation of these more than two hundred people is not neat, and most of them don't have any good equipment, but it looks like they have just won the battle, beaten the Tartars, and came back triumphantly. It doesn't feel that they are here Hao asked for help.

In addition, among the more than two hundred people, the twenty or so knights riding short-footed Dian horses all wore cloth armor that only Qing soldiers had, and they also carried Manchurian bows, shotguns and guns that only Qing soldiers had. Kanto big broom knife.

There is no place to buy this bannerman-style cloth armor, Manchurian bow, shotgun and Kanto broom knife here in Guangdong... only from dead or captured bannermen!

As for the equipment on the twenty-odd knights, it is difficult to get them by killing more than twenty bannermen.Because killing the enemy on the battlefield does not mean that you can grab the enemy's body!

Under normal circumstances, while snatching more than [-] corpses and prisoners on the battlefield, you will also kill several times the enemy!

The equipment on these twenty or so Da Nanshan knights alone meant the deaths and injuries of hundreds of Shun Gong Mansion flag soldiers!

Hundreds of bannermen!

The soldiers of the Qiu family, who were guarding both sides of the street to maintain order, looked at this "stupid and crazy" artillery Zhu with a different opinion.

And when these Dananshan knights wearing cloth armor and carrying the standard weapons and equipment of the standard soldiers appeared outside the Chaozhou General Army Yamen, including Qiu Rong, all the generals of the Qiu family who were waiting for Zhu Hesheng at the gate of the General Army Yamen , were taken aback.

Now there is no more chattering voices.

A surprised expression flashed across Dao Scarrong's face, and then he saw the successor of the Qiu family army laughing and stepped forward, bowed his hands to Zhu Hesheng and said, "Lieutenant Fengguo, please come inside! My father and the Yanping Palace are consulting to join the army." Master Chen has been waiting in the mansion for a long time!"

The Yanping Palace consulted with Chen Junshi to join the army?As soon as Zhu Hesheng heard this name, he thought of Wei Xiaobao's master Chen Jinnan!

Unexpectedly, this great military strategist also came to Dahao... This is an opportunity!

Zhu Hesheng thought: "It's time for Chen Jinnan to see the evidence that the Qing Dynasty is about to end!"

……

In the lobby of the Chaozhou General Army Yamen in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hesheng finally met Hui Qiuhui, the big man who single-handedly supported the anti-Qing and Ming Dynasty cause in Chaohui area, and the big man who claimed to be "a hero in vain without seeing Chen Jinnan in his life". Hero Chen Jinnan.

Zhu Hesheng and Qiu Hui were old acquaintances, and Qiu Hui and Zhu Jushan had worshiped each other, so Zhu Hesheng could regard himself as a junior and meet each other with great gifts.After paying homage to Da Laohui, Qiu Rong introduced Zhu Hesheng to Chen Yonghua.

From the moment Zhu Hesheng entered the lobby of the Zongbing Yamen, Chen Yonghua was carefully observing this "crazy lieutenant".

He seemed to be quite normal, and he spoke and behaved politely.Every move is full of confidence, and there is a faint regal demeanor.

Seeing that Zhu Hesheng had already taken a seat on a chair, Chen Yonghua didn't say much greetings, and directly brought up the topic of Kangxi's cutting down feudal clans. He asked, "Lieutenant, I got news that Emperor Xuanye of the Tartars intends to follow suit. Zhao Kuangyin, use glory and wealth to release the military power of the San Francisco. Do you think this is possible?"

"Impossible," Zhu Hesheng shook his head, "unless Kangxi is crazy!"

Chen Yonghua was taken aback, "How to say?"

Zhu Hesheng said: "It's not the lord of the San Francisco who can't lose its tail, but the slaves under the clan! Can the military master know how many soldiers and horses there are in San Francisco and how many people are there?"

Chen Yonghua thought for a while, and said: "Wu Sangui has 53 assistant leaders, Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao each have fifteen assistant leaders, and San Francisco has a total of 83 assistant leaders. Each assistant leader has 200 soldiers, and the total is 8 soldiers." There are six hundred soldiers, and the population is about five times that of the soldiers, so there are more than [-] in total."

Zhu Hesheng shook his head, "There is a quota for the number of banner troops of the San Francisco, but their population cannot be controlled by a quota... The San Francisco occupies the three provinces of Yunnan, Guangdong, and Fujian, and has countless clans. It is easy for the generals to get good jobs and jobs. Who doesn’t make a lot of money? When a man has money and land, who doesn’t bring three wives and four concubines to his home? The Emperor of the Tartars can control the children of the Eight Banners and not intermarry with the Han people. , can control the servants of San Francisco who are far away from the sky-high emperor and not ask for concubines? Not to mention others, just how many children does Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi have? More than 100!

The Banner Army of San Francisco may really only have more than 6000 people, but after more than 20 years of multiplication, the population of the San Francisco may be hundreds of thousands!How many people were there in Emperor Kangxi's Eight Banners Manchuria?Maybe it's not as large as the actual population of San Francisco.

Did Emperor Kangxi really dare to move so many slaves from Yunnan, Guangdong, and Fujian to Shanhaiguan?Hehe, if this group of people rebelled outside Shanhaiguan, which is close to Beijing, the Manchurians would have a lot of fun! "

Seems to make sense!

Chen Yonghua glanced at Qiu Rong - this Zhu Qipao doesn't seem crazy!

Zhu Hesheng went on to say: "Therefore, Kangxi will never release his military power with a drink...Even if the San Francisco has no rebellion, he will definitely arrange an ambush during the migration of the San Francisco and slaughter hundreds of thousands of San Francisco's population!

Kangxi understood this truth, and so did the feudal lords, counselors, and generals of San Francisco!And Kangxi... can never tolerate the continued expansion of the number of slaves in San Francisco.Otherwise, in another 20 years, the slaves of San Francisco will not be hundreds of thousands, but two to three million, which will be several times that of the Eight Banners of Manchuria.

At that time, it will not be whether the emperor of Manchuria can tolerate San Francisco, but whether San Francisco is willing to give the Manchus a way out. "

Chen Yonghua nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, you are quite right! Although the San Francisco Banner Army is not as good as the Manchuria, it is still a sure win if you fight against each other!" He sighed, "Actually, my Yanping Palace is not trapped by the Few soldiers? If the Yanping Prince’s Mansion can have a population of 200 million, why can’t the Yanping Prince’s Army be able to sweep Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian?”

At this time, the biggest difficulty faced by the Yanping Palace was that the population was too small, less than 20.Therefore, the standing army of Yanping Palace is only more than 1 people, and it has to be divided into land and water armies, which is really stretched.

But even so, in the original history, the army of Yanping Palace also took Chaozhou and Huizhou in Guangdong, Zhangzhou and Quanzhou in Fujian during the San Francisco Rebellion.He also defeated Shang Kexi's main force in the Battle of Limulus Mountain, killing more than [-] prisoners!

Zhu Hesheng said: "Military commander, if the equipment is good enough, even if the soldiers are small and the number of soldiers is small, it may not be impossible to count one as ten! Yanping Palace, Chaozhen, and Gaoleilian Town (Chen Shangchuan) have no fewer than [-] soldiers. Are you afraid that you won’t be able to wipe out Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian?”

Chen Yonghua frowned and asked: "The lieutenant doesn't know that the Heyi Hongmao Kingdom has allied Manchuria because of the matter of the former king's taking Taiwan and the Yanping Palace. Therefore, the Western firearms that the Yanping Palace can get can also be obtained by the Manchurians. If you want to rely on If the benefit of a firearm is equal to ten, I am afraid it will not work."

Zhu Hesheng said with a smile: "Military advisor, Xiaguan recently discovered a method of preparing strong gunpowder that is several times more powerful than black powder... This kind of strong gunpowder was invented by Xiaguan, and it is not found in Western countries."

As they spoke, Zhu Hesheng pulled out the loaded grenade hammer from his belt!

Chapter 033 Chen Jinnan Cried

Hearing Zhu Hesheng's words, he saw the grenade hammer that Zhu Hesheng took out—it was actually a small flagon with a wooden handle inserted.

The Chaozhen officials in the room didn't know what to say.

The fierce gunpowder that is several times more powerful than black powder!

How good would it be?

If there is such a treasure, and it is unique to the Yanping Palace system, then the strength of the Qing Dynasty may really be coming to an end.

But is it possible?How did Zhu Qipao accidentally discover such powerful gunpowder?Couldn't this be imagined by the unconscious Zhu Hesheng?

Chen Yonghua looked at what seemed to be a small wine pot made of copper in Zhu Hesheng's hands, and felt a little unreliable.

But he still smiled and asked: "Lieutenant Fengguo, is the strong gunpowder you mentioned contained inside this small flagon?"

"Yes." Zhu Hesheng said with a smile, "Military division, Zong Rong, prefect, why don't we try to find a place with fewer people?"

Chen Yonghua looked back at Qiu Hui, who was frowning with thick eyebrows, and Qiu Hui glanced at the baby girl Shuzhen who was standing in the corner with her mouth pursed, nodded and said: "Okay, okay, let's try it... …The commercial port is crowded with people and narrow, so it’s inconvenient, why don’t you find an open space at the foot of Goumuhan Mountain in the north!”

Chen Yonghua nodded: "Okay, let's go to the foot of Gou Mu Han Mountain."

Zhu Hesheng smiled triumphantly, and under the suspicious eyes of everyone, he put the grenade hammer back into his belt, and then cupped his hands at Qiu Hui, "Mr. It was filled in a copper jug, and the lower officials put a lot of broken copper coins in it. Once it exploded, it would form many fragments (eunuch Pang would never see his auspicious pot again), which was extremely lethal. So the onlookers People should not get too close to avoid being injured by fragments."

Qiu Hui nodded, and said to his son Qiu Rong: "Ah Rong, you can take a group of soldiers to the bamboo forest at the foot of Gou Muhan Mountain to set up, and no one else is allowed to come near."

Qiu Rong received the order, turned around and went to set up the shooting range.

Seeing Qiu Rong leave quickly, Qiu Hui and Chen Yonghua glanced at each other, Chen Yonghua said: "Zongzhen, if this kind of fierce gunpowder is really several times more powerful than black powder, it's better not to let too many people know about it." ...Why don't you and I go and have a look first!"

Qiu Hui understands that Chen Yonghua's arrangement is not only to keep it secret, but also to save Zhu Qipao a bit of face - in case the explosion fails, there will be fewer people watching the joke?

……

At the foot of the Gou Muhan mountain, around the small bamboo forest, Qiu Hui's soldiers had already surrounded him.All the roads in and out were blocked by soldiers in cloth and iron armor.Without the order of Da Laohui, no one is allowed to enter or leave.

At the edge of the bamboo grove, Yongmeng Su, Su Zhanshan, and Zhao Hongkui, together with several of Qiu Hui's personal soldiers, had followed Zhu Hesheng's instructions and used a shovel borrowed from Qiu Hui's mansion to make a [-]-step distance from the small bamboo grove. In the position, a bunker that could accommodate two people was dug out.

After digging the bunker, Zhu Hesheng's three subordinates followed Qiu Hui's personal soldiers and retreated sixty steps away, then turned to look at the bamboo forest, stretched their necks, and waited for the shocking explosion!

And Qiu Hui and Chen Yonghua had already sat down on the two grand master chairs placed side by side behind the two large shields. They were holding a binoculars in their hands, and they were looking at the small bamboo forest sixty steps away.

At the edge of the small bamboo forest, Zhu Hesheng, who was full of confidence, and Qiu Rong, who was dumbfounded, had already picked out a bamboo that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl.Zhu Hesheng tied a grenade hammer to the bamboo pole with a straw rope, and then carefully tore off a piece of red paper stuck to the bottom of the hammer handle.The hammer handle was originally composed of two semicircular wooden strips hollowed out in the middle, which were tied together with hemp rope in circles.There is a cotton thread glued with a lot of powdered black gunpowder in the hollowed out interior. One end of the cotton thread penetrates into the hammer head of the grenade hammer, and the other end is stuck to the red paper. After tearing the red paper, the cotton thread is pulled out. a little.

Zhu Hesheng took out the fire pocket, pulled out the cover, and blew on it twice, the faintly burning fire pocket suddenly ignited red light.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Hesheng ignited the fuse with a torch, and then he loudly said to Qiu Rong who was standing stupidly beside him: "Scar Rong, run away!"

After shouting, Zhu Hesheng pulled another scarf, and then ran towards the bunker piled up with mud.

Although Dao Scarong didn't believe in strong gunpowder, a copper hammer filled with black powder could blow up quite powerfully, so he didn't dare to seek death, so he followed Zhu and Sheng to the back of the bunker.

"Squat down, squat down!" Zhu Hesheng, who was behind the bunker, still didn't dare to take it lightly. He shouted "Squat down" while covering his head with his hands, looking cowardly.

Dao Scarrong was braver than him. He just sat down with his back against the bunker, without covering his head, and wanted to make fun of Zhu Hesheng.

……

There was a loud noise, and at the same time, a cloud of white smoke and a flame rose up, and a bamboo that was as thick as the mouth of a bowl fell to the ground with a "click" sound, and then hit the ground suddenly!

Chen Yonghua and Qiu Hui put down the binoculars at the same time, and stood up from the teacher's chair, staring at the bamboo forest in front of them.

Of course they have seen what it looks like when a explosive bomb filled with gunpowder explodes... To achieve the momentum in front of them, at least one catty of top-grade black powder must be filled in an iron shell explosive bomb.

And how big is that brass jug?I don't know if it can be filled with three or two pieces of medicine... Three or two pieces of medicine can explode with the power of a catty of medicine, this gunpowder is really strong!

Chen Yonghua suddenly thought of something, and walked towards the direction of the bamboo forest in three steps at a time. Qiu Hui followed quickly, and the two trotted all the way to the scene of the explosion.

At this time, Zhu Hesheng and Qiu Rong also turned out from behind the bunker and strolled to the scene of the explosion.

The four of them didn't bother to talk, but carefully observed the bamboo that had been blasted by the grenade hammer—it seemed that there were a lot of fragments after the explosion of the grenade hammer (the grenade hammer was filled with a lot of broken copper coins), because the There are many holes in the dozens of bamboos within five or six steps around the point!

The holes in the bamboo closer to the blasting point even formed a through hole!

If those bamboos were all Manchurian soldiers in iron armor, I am afraid that none of them would survive... Even if they were not killed on the spot, the fragments that penetrated into the human body would cause wounds to fester, and eventually kill them!

After inspecting the scene of the explosion, Zhu Hesheng finally showed a satisfied smile. Just as he was about to say a few words of self-praise, a person beside him burst into tears: "Wuuu, the former king, the former king... If there was such a thing, how could we There is the defeat of Nanjing!"

Zhu Hesheng looked back, and it turned out that Chen Jinnan was crying!

The power of sweet gunpowder is of course incomparable to that of black gunpowder!

If a pound of sweet gunpowder grenade hammer is blown up properly, it is enough to cause a square infantry phalanx with a front width of ten steps and a thickness of ten steps to suffer heavy losses, and even directly lose its combat effectiveness!

And a grenade hammer of this weight is relatively easy to throw. Throwing it for twenty or thirty steps does not seem to be a big problem. If you use a shield car to cover the "hammer soldiers" on the battlefield, I am afraid that even the brand-name Eight Banners will be difficult to carry. ?

If Zhu Chenggong's Northern Expedition to Nanjing [-] or [-] years ago, the army of Guo Xingye could be equipped with this kind of powerful gunpowder grenade hammer, Nanjing could be defeated [-]%.

That Guo Xingye would not have died young on the island of Taiwan where malaria was rampant, and the anti-Qing patriots who followed him would not have suffered heavy casualties in the city of Nanjing, nor would they have died of a large number of diseases after arriving in Taiwan... …

So half of Chen Jinnan's tears were shed for those anti-Qing fighters who died young because the gunpowder appeared too late.

And the other half of his tears were shed for the hope of victory in the anti-Qing cause!

With such a powerful grenade hammer, the army of Yanping Palace can have the strength to win more with less.

It is impossible to think of one against ten, but it is still possible to fight against three against four.Today, the number of green battalions in Guangdong, Fujian, and Zhejiang provinces is only 11, and the number of flag troops is [-] to [-].

And there are about [-] armed forces that can be assembled on the side of the Yanping Palace... As long as one can fight three, one can fight four, the Yanping Palace will not be weaker than the Qing army of the three provinces in terms of force.

If the little Emperor Kangxi really turned against Wu Sangui, then the opportunity for Yanping Palace to sweep Fujian, Guangdong, and Zhejiang provinces will come!

Chapter 034: We must preserve the principles of heaven and the desires of Tibetans!
