Part One: The Storm in Penghu Chapter 334 The Young Couple in Changping Village

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Jiao Xu¡¯s weapons manufacturing workshop in Changping Village was not big. There were several helpers. When they saw Jiao Xu coming in, most of them stopped what they were doing and called out respectfully: "Mr. Jiao, you are here."  ¡±

    There was only a young couple who seemed not to notice it at all, and they were still concentrating on what they were doing.

    There are two ready-made muskets and several semi-finished products placed in the workshop, and in one corner, there is even a model of an artillery piece.

    God, Jiao Xu actually started building artillery here?

    "It's a pity that the place here is too small and there are insufficient materials and manpower. Otherwise, if I could make a cannon, I might be able to buy more time for Changping Village."

    Genius, genius.  Ding Yunyi was filled with emotion.

    I went everywhere to hire firearms experts, but I didn¡¯t expect that there was such a real expert of Ming Dynasty hidden in this small Changping village.

    Ding Yunyi suddenly asked: "What should the firearm in Sir's imagination be like?"

    "When making and using weapons, we must be one step ahead of the enemy. Either use the big to defeat the small, or use the long to defeat the short, or use the many to defeat the few, or use the fine to defeat the rough, or use good use to win over poor use." Jiao Xu said without thinking.  : "Moreover, it is not enough for the army to have advanced firearms. It must also have virtuous generals who have a strategy for victory, can run the army well, command it well, treat their subordinates with kindness and power, and have clear rewards and punishments, so that the soldiers can be courageous and skilled.  Only those who are skilled in the art can use firearms to defeat the enemy"

    The more Ding Yunyi listened, the more he admired him.  Jiao Xu is not only the best firearms manufacturing expert.  And he has taken the use of firearms to a new level.

    This concept cannot be compared to others.

    In the hereafter.  Many people believe that with sophisticated weapons they can be invincible and can quickly arm a powerful army.  But that kind of power is just superficial.

    No matter how sophisticated a weapon is, it is nothing more than a "weapon", and the one who uses the "weapon" is still a human being!

    If a general commands an army equipped with the most advanced weapons, he is not proficient in the weapons he uses.  Then what he faces is still failure.

    This truth is not surprising to Ding Yunyi, but it is really commendable that Jiao Xu of this era has understood this truth so early.

    Jiao Xu continued: "When there is water on the battlefield, when using firearms, you must grasp the timing and the distance between the enemy and ourselves. If the enemy is far away from the artillery range and fires, dry fire will occur, or even when the enemy is close and the shells have been fired,  Therefore, artillery cannot be fired lightly and must be fired within the effective range. That is, artillery that can shoot at a distance of three to four hundred steps should be fired when the enemy is close to fifty or sixty steps; firearms that can shoot at a distance of a hundred steps should wait until the enemy  Only release when you are close to 20 or 30 steps, so that you can fully kill the enemy"

    Ding Yunyi nodded frequently after hearing this, and Jiao Xu spoke with great enthusiasm, completely immersed in his theory: "Although firearms are powerful, they cannot be relied on exclusively. They must be used in conjunction with various weapons, so that long and short weapons can rescue each other from near and far.  Defend each other and use both attacking and defensive techniques. Only in this way can we defeat the enemy and exert our greatest power on the battlefield"

    Long and short weapons rescue each other from far and near. This is the method of using firearms that Ding Yunyi and Shi Weide discussed when he was in Taiwan.

    ??The Thai people think.  The musketeers must be used in conjunction with the pikemen to fully protect the musketeers and give full play to the role of the muskets. However, Jiao Xu, who had never had contact with the Thai and Western armies, was already keenly aware of this.

    What Ding Yunyi is thinking about now is not how talented Jiao Xu is, but how to get Jiao Xu out of Changping Village safely.

    The Jinyiwei outside, headed by Hong Tiaoyuan, received the order to massacre the village. Judging from the Jinyiwei's style, they will definitely execute the order to the letter.

    Hong Tiaoyuan is a loyal person. Since he slaughtered the village, he will never let anyone go.  Although he is Wu Liebo, he cannot command the Jin Yiwei, and if he forces himself, Chongzhen will definitely know about it. What should he do now?

    "It's a pity that my Huben guards are not here, otherwise there will definitely be a way."

    "What do you think, sir?"

    Jiao Xu's words interrupted Ding Yunyi's thoughts. Ding Yunyi smiled and said: "Sir's talent is unheard of. It's a pity that Changping Village is surrounded by people at the moment. You have great talents. Once the Jin Yiwei rushes into the village,  , I¡¯m afraid there won¡¯t be any place to display it in the future¡­¡±

    He said it very tactfully, but Jiao Xu completely understood what he meant.

    "The murderer Ding Huben, the butcher Ding Yunyi. Ding Huben, no one can stop, Ding Yunyi, the murderer! Huben is full of blood everywhere, and when the butcher comes, there are mountains of corpses"

    Suddenly, a person lightly?? said.

    Ding Yunyi was surprised when he heard it. He looked towards the place where the voice came from and saw that it was actually the wife of the young couple who said it.  Could it be?  Has this woman already discovered her identity?

    But Jiao Xu was confused: "Yuemei, what are you talking about?"

    The woman named "Yuemei" has not yet answered, but her husband has already said: "Mr. Jiao, everyone is tired, let them rest for a while."

    Jiao Xu understood and asked everyone in the workshop to go out to rest first, leaving only himself, Ding Yunyi, and the young couple.

    "Who are these two?" Ding Yunyi narrowed his eyes.

    Jiao Xu pointed: "This is Mr. Yao Muhu, also known as Fu Gong, and this is his wife Yuemei."

    "Young Master Yao." Ding Yunyi clasped his fists.

    Jiao Xu¡¯s mind was still on the jingle he just said: ¡°Rework, what did you just say?¡±

    Yao Muhu smiled: "He is talking about a great hero of our Ming Dynasty. Mr. Jiao only cares about the manufacture of firearms and does not hear about the outside world. I am afraid he does not know this person. But this person turned out to be a few years ago. He stationed troops in Penghu  At that time, they seized Taiwan in anger and drove the Taixi people into the sea. In the land of Liaodong, the Jinlu troops entered and exited nine times, and they defeated Jinlu Duoduo in a fierce battle in the Central Plains. Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Xinyang in the first place, and Zhang Xianzhong was defeated in Yingzhou in the second.  , his reputation is famous all over the world, and he is known as one of the pillars of the Ming Dynasty"

    It¡¯s reached this point.  Ding Yunyi knew that his identity had been exposed, and suddenly said with a smile without fear: "That's not all. He defeated Zhang Xianzhong and made Zhang Ni surrender. He defeated Li Zicheng again, leaving Li Ni with only eighteen riders to flee. I think Mr. Yao is staying here.  I'm afraid it's been a long time, and I don't know about the new things happening outside anymore"

    Jiao Xu was surprised when he heard this: "Who is this person?"

    "That's the one standing next to Mr. Jiao." Yao Muhu pointed at Ding Yunyi: "Yao Muhu has met General Ding Shen."

    When he heard that the person next to him was actually a "general" of the current imperial court, Jiao Xu was shocked: "You, you are actually from the imperial court? You. Are you sent by the Jin Yiwei to destroy my entire village?"

    "Who are the Jinyi Guards? How can they command me?" Ding Yunyi saw that his identity had been completely exposed, so he stopped hiding anything and said proudly: "I am Ding Yunyi, Uncle Wu Lie of the Ming Dynasty, General of the Fujian Army, General of Hussars, and Protector of the Army!"

    Yao Muhu smiled and said: "It turns out that your Excellency is already the head of the town. You have been knighted. The common people congratulate you."

    Jiao Xu became frightened: "DingDing Yunyi, are you here to kill us?"

    "Mr. Jiao, don't worry." But Yao Muhu couldn't see any panic: "Wu Liebo's sword has killed Taixi, Jinlu, and rogues, but it has never killed innocent people. Wu Liebo, I was wrong.  ?"

    "That's right, that's right." Ding Yunyi smiled slightly and said: "My Ding Yunyi's sword only lives the people, not kills them. There are never innocent souls under the sword. Mr. Jiao, this time I ventured into the village to find out the situation.  If Changping Village is really killable, I will never be merciful, and if the whole village is innocent, I will never let the Jin Yiwei enter the village!"

    Jiao Xu felt relieved: "Uncle Wu Lie, Changping Village is really innocent."

    "I don't want to ask whether you are innocent or not right now." Ding Yunyi looked Yao Muhu up and down: "Tell me, how did you recognize me?"

    Yao Muhu sighed and said, "My lord went to Prince Fu's Mansion back then. My wife and I have both met your lord"

    Prince Fu¡¯s Mansion?  Have you seen yourself?  Could it be that Yao Muhu and his wife were originally in Prince Fu's Mansion?  King Fu wants to massacre Changping Village?  Something to do with this couple?  Ding Yunyi suddenly understood something

    "The King of Tang was there at that time" Yuemei whispered: "My lord, do you remember that there were singing and dancing girls when you entered Prince Fu's Mansion? I was the one who led the dance. My lord, I was not a big official at that time.  , but to be summoned by the two princes, this has never happened in Prince Fu's palace, so Yue Mei remembered the appearance of the adults. "

    "What about you? Why do you recognize me?" Ding Yunyi turned his attention to Yao Muhu.

    A smile suddenly appeared on Yao Muhu's lips: "Actually, everyone in Prince Fu's Mansion doesn't remember you. Sir, you still remember that when you entered Prince Fu's Mansion, the servant at the door asked you for money, but you complained in front of Prince Fu.  ?"

    Ding Yunyi also laughed. Of course he remembered it and would never forget it.

    "After the Lord left, the servant who took the lead in asking the Lord for money was discounted by Prince Fu." Yao Muhu smiled and said: "From then on, everyone in Prince Fu's mansion said that whenever they see Ding Yunyi coming in the future, they should give it to him immediately.  Open the door, otherwise your hand or leg will be broken.¡±

    Ding Yunyi couldn't help laughing "haha", Jiao Xu couldn't help laughing too, and the previous panic faded away.

      After the laughter subsided, Ding Yunyi asked: "Okay, I know how you recognize me, why did you come here? I still don't know why King Fu wanted to massacre Changping Village."

    Yao Muhu's expression darkened: "Since Wu Liebo asked, I didn't dare to hide anything. I was originally a guest of King Fu, and my wife was first a song and dance girl of King Fu, and was later taken as a concubine by King Fu. Wu Liebo may know that King Fu  He has so many concubines that even he himself cannot count them, and when he is happy, he will let his concubines accompany his guests"

    Ding Yunyi nodded silently.

    The fate of women in this era is generally like this, especially the women around King Fu. After they have played with themselves enough, they will be rewarded to others for use, and they are completely indifferent to others.  Yuemei was not able to escape this fate.

    Yao Muhu sighed softly: "Later on, Yuemei and I got to know each other. As time went by, the two of us became  Women are rewarded to others, but they are not allowed to have affairs in private. Once he finds out, it will be a disaster. My status is extremely low in the eyes of King Fu. He usually doesn't even look at me, so he will definitely not allow me to have sex with him.  Regarding the Yuemei incident, after thinking about it, we really don¡¯t have half"

    "Did you elope then?" Ding Yunyi asked.

    Yao Muhu nodded: "Yuemei found an excuse to leave the palace, and I quietly went out. When we reached the meeting point, we ran out of Henan in one breath. But we knew that with Prince Fu's character, he must think that this was  It's such a shame and humiliation, and he will never let us go. King Fu has great power, but in this big world, where can we escape? After thinking about it, I am from Changping Village, and I am afraid that this is the only place where we can escape, so  I ran all the way here"

    Yuemei said: "After we came, we didn't hide anything. We told the villagers what happened. But the villagers not only didn't dislike us, but also made us feel at ease to live here. That's how we settled.  For more than a year, I thought everything was calm and King Fu would not remember us anymore. But who would have thought that the Jin Yiwei people suddenly appeared a few days ago and wanted to arrest us as soon as they entered the village. As a result, there was a dispute and the Jin Yiwei wanted to arrest us.  Killing people with knives, saying that they were ordered by the King of Blessings, slaughtering all the people in the village who harbored the two of us, and later they were all shot to death by muskets. We knew that we had not escaped in the end, and that a disaster was about to come  "

    Good guy, not one of the eleven people could escape. The firearms in this village are so sharp.  Prince Fu was too narrow-minded. He actually wanted to kill the entire village for this matter.

    Yao Muhu raised his voice slightly: "Actually, I eloped with Yue Mei. I knew that this day would come sooner or later, and I didn't want to live anymore. But how could I bear to involve the whole village? I said I would go out, but the village chief and the others didn't care.  No matter what."

    "Yes, yes." Ding Yunyi said slowly: "You have offended King Fu and Jin Yiwei, and killed eleven people. Of course they will not let you go again."

    Yao Muhu said silently: "I don't care about life and death, but the whole village does. Besides besides, we thought that nothing would happen, so we thought about having a child, but now Yuemei already has one in her belly.  "

    Ding Yunyi looked at Yuemei and found that her belly was indeed bulging.  A pregnant woman, two lives; a village, hundreds of lives.  How long can we resist with just these muskets?

    Yao Muhu suddenly held his wife's hand and knelt down to Ding Yunyi with a plop: "Uncle Wu Lie, we are not afraid of death, but Changping Village cannot die because of us. Please ask Uncle Wu Lie to save the people in the village!"  (You are welcome to come. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
