Sir, you have to pay more

Chapter 104 Jinchuan's Most Beautiful Cub

On the way back, I passed Akeli village again. The original subordinate, Li Chengzong, a descendant of Li Dingguo, warmly greeted Captain Jia and his colleagues in the arrest team.

After being attacked by bandits twice, the number of defenders in the village more than doubled to nearly 600 people.

The Deyang battalion originally stationed here was transferred away due to heavy losses, and a new Shaanxi-Gansu green battalion was transferred from above.

After Jia Liu entered the stockade, he found a group of Shaanxi-Gansu battalion soldiers studying something around the cannon. Afterwards, the battalion soldiers used a wooden frame to try to set up the cannon and place it at an angle.

It's like the muzzle is at a 45-degree angle.

As for the cannon, Jia Liu is a layman, but he saw that the battalion soldiers expended so much effort just to place the cannon at an angle, and he was really curious, so he couldn't help asking what their purpose was.

"Responding to my lord's words, the stone towers of the Fan Bandits are too strong. Our current cannons can't blow them up at all, so we wondered if we could shoot the cannons at an angle, so that the shells might be able to hit the top of the stone towers."

One of the gunners was afraid that Jia Liu would not understand, so he drew an arc in the air with his hand, meaning that the fired shells were not straight as before, but directly shot into the stone block in an arc shape.

Even if Jia Liu was a layman to artillery, he couldn't help but think of mortars.

Looking at the stone block not far away, my heart was moved: Yes, isn't the mortar the best weapon to deal with this kind of stone block.

It's like a giant who is covered in armor, with no flaws up and down, but the head is bald. Wouldn't it be possible to knock down the giant by concentrating on attacking this head?

But he didn't say a word, and he didn't know how to give any pointers. He just watched the group of Shaanxi-Gansu battalion soldiers doing experiments.

The reason is that the longer Jin Chuan plays, the more beneficial he is.

If the Qing army was equipped with mortar-like mortars on a large scale, how could he still mine in these big and small gold mountains.

The result of the test must have failed. The temporary assembly of the wooden frame could not withstand the vibration of the artillery launch.

All the battalion soldiers were very disappointed, but Jia Liu knew that they were on the right track.

He didn't leave either, but chatted with this group of green battalion soldiers, and learned that they were originally under the control of Sichuan Admiral Dong Tianbi, and they had been stationed at Dimuda in the southwest of the camp for half a year.

Because the key transshipment point of the grain road in Akeli Village was often attacked by bandits, the superiors pulled them away from Dimuda.

"The superior transferred you here from Mr. Dong, isn't Mr. Dong's number of soldiers less?"

Jia Liu is an officer of the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion soldiers will definitely not be wary of him. Some people say that the front line is tight everywhere now, and there is no extra manpower to call back, and there is no manpower to replenish.

"I don't know, my lord. The brothers in front are now one to two. The brothers are in this poor place." A younger battalion soldier was complaining, and the more mature ones beside him hurriedly pulled him.

Jia Liu smiled, turned and left.

Wen Fu kept moving troops from the front to the back, which was exactly what the bandits wanted to achieve when they attacked Liangdao.

But this is a conspiracy, Wen Fu can't help it.

Transferring back and forth will eventually lead to the weakening of the defenders somewhere on the front line. Once the bandits find out about this situation, they will definitely become passive and active, and the Qing army will definitely be in big trouble at that time.

As a child of the Eight Banners, can Jia Liu just sit idly by?

I really don't care.

Wen Zhongtang himself led the wolves into the house, and took a group of obviously problematic plateau soldiers into the Muguomu camp. Even if the troops were not transferred from the front line to the rear, accidents were inevitable.

As for him, he wished Wen Zhongtang would fart as soon as possible.

After walking a few steps, he was suddenly stunned, as if there were soldiers descending from the highlands in the Meinuo official village!

If the goddamn gang divides into two groups, one in front and the other in the back to pretend to surrender, doesn't it mean that Jia Liu and his gang are dancing with wolves?
The problem is a little serious.

According to his initial understanding of the anti-Qing forces in Jinchuan, the survivors of the Ming Dynasty are part of it, and the Miao Yao forces are part of it, but now the main force is the plateau soldiers.

And he only got online with Lu Yuanguang, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, and had no contact with the plateau soldiers. Therefore, if the soldiers descended on the plateau, there would be chaos, and Mr. Jia would not care if he wanted to fight the white flag.

The more I thought about it, the more surprised I became.

"Master Jia, what are you thinking?"

When Li Chengzong came over, he saw Mr. Jia frowning tightly, so he couldn't help asking curiously.

"Oh, nothing."

Jia Liu saw that it was almost time to rest, "It's getting late, I'm leading the team back."

Li Chengzong nodded: "The road is not safe, Mr. Jia should be more careful."

Jia Liu smiled, gathered his subordinates and went back to Minuo Village.

After passing by Arles and other places where Manchurian soldiers died in battle, I felt really cold for no reason in my heart.

I don't know if it's the dead ghosts squatting on the side of the road watching him.

Two days later, Jia Liu led the team back to Meinuo Village, and instead of going to the dispatch room to report on work, he went to see Hua Gou Xiong first.

Unexpectedly, when Hua Gouxiong saw him, it was like seeing his own father, screaming.

Look again, obviously thinner.

My stomach was round when I walked, and it will be deflated.

It's only been a few days!
Looking at it again, the bamboo that I didn't want to eat before has turned into bear feces.

Jia Liu was furious, and immediately went to the second child Wu who was in charge of Huagouxiong's food, and asked him if he had withheld Goudan's food.

"My lord, how dare the little one, according to your orders, it will eat whatever I eat."

Wu Laoer hurriedly defended, and gave an excuse that Jia Liu thought was reasonable.

Hua Gouxiong may be because he misses his boss and his boss's boss too much, so he has no appetite these days. If he doesn't think about food and drink, he will definitely lose weight.

Looking at Wu's second child who had taken away his crutch to lean on, Jia Liu decided to spare him this time, and ordered the opponent to go and arrange the chess, so that he could kill two games when he came back.

Then he asked Shuan Zhu to get some meat and rice for Goudan, and then Jia Liu went to the dispatch room to talk to Lao Cui.

I ran into Guo Guangquan on the road, and learned from the other party that Huang Guerrilla was shot in the chest by a bandit's musket, and he would die the same night when he was carried back.

Jia Liu immediately expressed deep sympathy.

"Six sons, don't take such things to yourself in the future, you are the only one who is stupid, and it is too late for others to hide, but you post it yourself, it will really be beaten to death by the bandits, where are you going to complain?"

As someone who has experienced it, Guo Guangquan understands that the young sixth son has the desire to climb up, so he is eager to make contributions, but he must be reminded that he can climb up, but it depends on when.

Years and years after the year, the bandits were very active in the rear. How many people called them to attack. Yesterday, a grain transport team was completely annihilated, and none of the more than [-] battalions escorted came back alive.

It made people in the village panic.

At this moment, it is not worthwhile to lose one's life for meritorious service.

He also pointed out to Jia Liu that it was not his job, for example, don't get involved with such things as paying wages, because meritorious deeds belong to others, but if something happens, bad luck will follow.

That is to say, the higher-ups knew that Jia Liu was not responsible, and Jia Liu had taken back half of the military salary, otherwise he would definitely be punished.

Jia Liu thanked Guo Guangquan for his kind reminder repeatedly, saying that he would invite Guo Guangquan and several other adults to drink after the handover.

"Hurry up, it seems that Old Cui has just returned from Liu Butang's side."

Guo Guangquan had something to do, so he stopped talking and went straight to work.

When Jia Liu arrived at the dispatch room, he saw old Cui talking to several people, and saw Jia Liu hurriedly waved him in: "It's just in time for you to come back. Tomorrow you will lead a team to send a batch of grain to Admiral Dimuda Dong."

"Let me transport food?"

Jia Liu was stunned.

Master Cui also looked helpless: "It's not that I make things difficult for you, it's that the village is short of manpower, and it says that the arrest team has to transport food."

"My lord, do you have any discussion?"

Jia Liu really didn't want to go to Dimuda, that place was more dangerous than Muguomu.

"No discussion."

Against his will, Old Cui pushed away Jia Liu's hand that was about to reach into his pocket, "If you don't go, I'll have to go."

Jia Liu: Thank you.
