Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 268 You Are Obviously Greedy For My Money

"You have a choice, who?"

After hearing Niu Ben's words, everyone looked at him, and at this moment Niu Ben said: "Yesterday Wei Bao came to the army to look for me, and I arranged for him to stay at the nearest inn in Chang'an County.

"Wei Bao?"

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this name, Wei Bao, Shi Dalei and Niu Ben were the first bandits captured by Li Chaosheng together, but this kid doesn't like to lead troops, but he likes the way of lobbying in the Spring and Autumn Period , Li Chaosheng once annihilated the six overlords of Lantian County and went to Dongtangyu to persuade Liu Zongmin and Liu Yidao, the then lord of Dongtangyu.

Later, Lantian got on the right track, the construction of Lantian Academy, and he even went to the academy to study. He has been hanging out in the academy all these years, and he is inspired to travel all over the world. This kid set off from Lantian Academy in less than a month, planning to see the Ming Dynasty on foot. Jiangshan, he traveled all over the counties where Lantian belongs to this month.

Later, when I came to Chang'an County, I ran out of money, so I found my good friend, Niu Ben, to come to 'beg for alms'. I had a delicious meal, and then I cheated another ten taels of silver, and I was going to live in Chang'an. In a few days, go again.

Thinking of the few people here, their eyes light up. Wei Bao has a good eloquence and martial arts. After all, Li Chaomeng has been the martial arts instructor of Lantian Academy. Except for some special students of the academy, such as medical students or science and technology students, The rest have to learn martial arts, and the martial arts must be recognized by Li Chaomeng before they can graduate.

This is also the most difficult subject in Lantian Academy. Every year because of this, there are quite a few people who fail the subject. Some people also suggested that Li Chaosheng cancel the subject of martial arts. After all, they are a group of scholars.

And Li Chaosheng's original words are: "The world is precarious, bandits are rampant, and everyone is in danger. In such a situation, how can my Lantian officials encourage themselves, especially if they want to be the head of a party, or some high-ranking officials, they will definitely offend some people in the future. , and there are many swordsmen in Guanzhong, what should they do if they are assassinated?"

"So anyone who graduates from Lantian College and will be engaged in the military, government, and business in the future must learn martial arts. When the future swordsman assassinates, you can cut off the swordsman's head in turn. This is considered qualified."

Therefore, those who graduated from Lantian Academy must not think that they are powerless, they all have good martial arts skills.

And Wei Bao is one of the students who passed the test of Li Chaomeng, so he is a martial artist.

Thinking of this, Luo Heita said: "Since Wei Bao is in Chang'an County, send someone to invite him here."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei said: "I'd better go in person. I used to imprison my brother in a dungeon back then, and I haven't seen him for some time."

After hearing this, Niu Ben said, "I will go too."

Luo Heita wanted to say something after hearing this, at this moment Li Debao said: "I won't go, I will guard the barracks with the deputy brigade commander."

Hearing this, Luo Heita laughed. If Li Debao also went at this time, there would be suspicions against him.

But Li Debao can't do this, he is a balance, although most of him will stand on Shi Dalei's side, but when the situation is completely unfavorable to Luo Heita, he will stand on Luo Heita, after all, Luo Heita's military ability is still Not bad, especially with a strong desire to attack, he is a warrior who can be well trained.

Li Debao is the pinnacle of the Fourth Brigade, to prevent any faction in the Fourth Brigade from being too big, and to ensure Li Chaosheng's absolute authority.

Shi Dalei talked with Niu Ben, and took his guards to the inn in Chang'an County to look for Wei Bao. Wei Bao was sitting in the guest room, rubbing his stomach and waiting for Shi Dalei and Niu Ben to arrive. He had already got the news from Li Chaosheng. Li Chaosheng told Zhang Xianzhong that he was going to negotiate and was not ready to use force.

However, Shi Dalei's Fourth Army lacks a person who can speak eloquently. He is a very good candidate, so he judges that Niu Ben will come to him. Of course, this is just a judgment. If the judgment is wrong, it's okay. Let's clean it up tomorrow Just pack up and go.

And Wei Bao also made a bet with himself, don't eat dinner tonight, wait for the bull to run, he will kill him if he comes, if he doesn't come, he will starve himself.

Then Niu Ben came in the evening, and Shi Dalei also came. He didn't expect Shi Dalei to come. After all, Shi Dalei is now being appreciated by Li Chaosheng. Without any authority, it is not worthy of Shi Dalei's condescension to come here.

But Shi Dalei came, and not as the brigade commander of Lantian Fourth Brigade, but as an old brother.

Wei Bao looked at Shi Dalei and said with a smile: "Da Lei, you are getting more and more handsome now."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei laughed and said: "Wei Bao, you are getting hungry now."

Speaking of which, Shi Dalei pointed to a table of food and wine that Wei Bao had ordered after he came. This food and drink was from Yuxian Building in Chang'an County, at least three taels of silver, and Shi Dalei's monthly military salary was only eight taels of silver. He ate more than a third of his military pay.

Wei Bao looked at Shi Dalei at this time and said: "Old brothers meet, you should eat something good. You see how well you are with Niu Ben now. A brigade commander and a regiment leader are both high-ranking officials. Since you are a big The official should bleed a lot, right? Hahaha..."

Upon hearing this, Shi Dalei looked at Niu Ben helplessly and said, "This kid is here to kill the wronged man."

After hearing this, Niu Ben said: "This kid has always been like this."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei said: "Lao Niu, how about half of the meal money for you and me?"

After hearing this, Niu Ben said: "Ahem...you are paid [-] taels a month for the army, and I only get [-] taels a month. You cheated me of my food money, how can you bear it, brigade commander."

"You, okay, I'll treat you to this meal."

Shi Dalei said arrogantly, Niu Ben and Wei Bao both laughed, followed Shi Dalei and said: "Wei Bao, this time we are looking for you."

After hearing this, Wei Bao said: "I know, go to Zhang Xianzhong's military camp to be a lobbyist, right? After eating your meal, I will work for you. I will take over the job."

Wei Bao said, Shi Dalei opened his eyes wide and said: "How do you know that we invited you to be a lobbyist with Zhang Xianzhong, Lao Niu, did you say that?"

Niu Ben shook his head and said, "I came in with you, how could I have a chance to talk about it?"

"Then where did you get the news from?"

After hearing this, Wei Bo said: "Don't guess, I know it from the division commander's administrative affairs department."

"Ok?"

Wei Bo said: "The teacher gave me a small privilege to view the confidential documents and past documents of the first class in Lantian. This piece of information from the Xianzhong Department is not confidential, and it can be consulted within the Lantian government affairs."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei said: "Well, so that's the case, but you have such a privilege, Wei Bao, you are also very valued by the teacher."

After hearing this, Wei Bao said: "It's okay, it may have something to do with my next job."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei said: "What is your next job?"

Wei Bao said, "Yes."

"Can you tell me a little bit?"

After hearing this, Wei Bao said: "It's not a secret. In the next few years, I will start from our Lantian, go south to the south of the Yangtze River, go deep into Huguang, pass through Henan, Shandong, cross Sili, enter the capital, pass the capital north and go up to Shanhaiguan. Go through the customs and go to the place outside the customs, and finally go to Shengjing, the old den of the Tartars, to see the people under the rule of Ming, Lantian, and Shengjing, to see the policies they implement, to see why they have reached this point, and then come back Write a book, give it to teachers, give it to the Secretary of State, give it to Lantian College, and give it to everyone!"

Hearing this, Shi Dalei's eyes widened, he spent several years traveling around the world, and came back to write a book about the world, Wei Bao's ambition is really not small.

Niu Ben said from the side: "Wei Bao, is it necessary? The Ming Dynasty is corrupt and the Tartars are tyrannical. This is obvious to all. Isn't it good for us to make contributions in Lantian? What's the fuss?"

Wei Bo said: "No, Lao Niu, things are not like this. Daming is corrupt, but why is he corrupt? The Tartars are arrogant, but how did he rise so quickly? There are all learned questions in it. Wait for me to walk around When I come back, I can be a consultant to the teacher, and when the time comes, I can tell him what the teacher wants to know."

After hearing this, Niu Ben seemed to understand, but Shi Dalei said: "Wei Bao, you should be the most accomplished person among our old brothers, and I would like to toast you."

Wei Bao drank a glass with Shi Dalei and said with a smile: "Don't put a high hat on me, if you really support me, old brother, I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?"

Shi Dalei looked at Wei Bao, and Wei Bao smiled and said, "You need money for your study tour, and the teacher won't let the finance department allocate money to me, so I came to make friends with the old brothers. The old cow gave me ten taels. You, the brigade commander, at least 20 taels."

"Hey, you guy."

Shi Dalei wanted to leave when he heard the words, but was pulled back by Wei Bao, and he said with a smile: "Since we are on the pirate ship, there is no reason to go down, hahaha..."

Wei Bao pulled Shi Dalei back with a smile on his face, Shi Dalei was furious at this moment, glared at Wei Bao and said, "Why are you pulling me?"

Wei Bao laughed and said, "Talk about the brotherhood."

Shi Dalei roared angrily at this time: "You want to talk about brotherhood with me, you are obviously greedy for my money."

……

Regardless of whether Shi Dalei is happy or not, Wei Baokeng took away 20 taels of silver, which made Shi Dalei very angry. For this reason, when paying the bill, Shi Dalei only left one two taels of silver, as for the rest One or two, let Niu Ben and Wei Bao solve it by themselves.

Wei Bao was very satisfied with this, and came to the barracks the next day. After seeing Li Debao, Wei Bao changed from his usual foolish look, and talked to Li Debao very politely.

After studying in the academy for the past few years, Wei Bao naturally developed the arrogance of a scholar. Although he is dressed in white, he has the arrogance to point out the country, otherwise he would not be able to propose the idea of ​​traveling to the world.

Although Shi Dalei is the brigade commander and has a lot of achievements, Wei Bao doesn't really care about it, and he doesn't respect him as always, but he has respect for Li Debao.

Li Debao gave up his position as brigade commander and used his position as regimental commander to suppress dissatisfied people. Wei Bao knew about it. Wei Bao gave a high evaluation of this, saying that Li Debao has a gentleman's demeanor. For those who have this spirit of sacrifice, Wei Bao admired it very much.

Everyone in the barracks gathered together, Wei Bao was talking to everyone, and there was a gentleman's gestures between talking and laughing. Luo Heita looked at Wei Bao and said, "Wei Bao, how confident are you in going to Zhang Xianzhong's camp this time to persuade you?"

"now go?"

Wei Bao looked at Luo Heita, Luo Heita said: "Go now."

After hearing this, Wei Bao said, "Fifty percent."

Luo Heita frowned and said, "Isn't this sending you to death? I think you'd better not go."

Hearing this, Wei Bao smiled, when a soldier shouted outside, "Report."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei said: "Come in."

At this time, the soldiers came in and saluted: "Brigade Commander, the logistics department of the division headquarters sent ten Xinshi fireworks, accompanied by a recorder from the arsenal, just outside, please give instructions to the Brigadier Commander."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go to meet you right away."

At this time, Wei Bao said: "It's probably [-]% now."

After hearing this, several people went out, and when they got outside, one person saluted: "Brigade Commander, the logistics department is responsible for transporting ten artillery pieces, please sign for acceptance."

After hearing this, Shi Dalei finished checking and signed.

At this time, ten new cannons appeared in front of everyone, and there were three researchers in white coats standing in front of the cannons. These researchers looked at Shi Dalei and did not see Shangguan's panic.

They are the researchers of the arsenal, and they are independent systems. No matter how big an official you Shi Dalei is, you can't control them, and they are here this time only to get first-hand data.

Shi Dalei came to the cannon and looked at the ten ferocious cannons, and patted the cannon tubes with his hands, feeling very satisfied. At this time, Wei Bao came to the shell box and opened a shell. Much lighter than the previous solid ammo."

After hearing this, the researcher said: "This is a flowering bomb, and its function is to cause as much damage as possible. The previous solid bullet was shot out in one shot, and a hole was blown in place. This flowering bomb is fired, and the explosives in the flowering bomb will be fired twice. Explosion, with a bang, the iron skin of the cannonball will be blown away, and the flying shot will cause damage within a radius of ten meters from the cannonball. If one cannonball hits a crowd, dozens or even hundreds of people may be killed or injured of."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up. Although they didn't see it with their own eyes, they felt very powerful just by hearing it. Thinking of this, everyone couldn't wait to experiment.

Wei Bao also stretched out his finger at this time and said, "This time it's [-]%."

After hearing this, everyone looked at each other, decided not to wait any longer, and negotiated immediately. Thinking that the [-]th brigade guarding Chang'an County started to set out for the border, and soon came to the area where Zhang Xianzhong was stationed. The two armies camped across a river. .

At this moment, Wei Bao looked at the people on the shore, especially the ten cannons and a small boat that were set up not far away, approaching Zhang Xianzhong's troops.

At this time Zhang Xianzhong heard that the army on the opposite side was approaching, and the whole army immediately became tense. At this moment, someone said: "A man from the barracks on the opposite side came across the river in a boat and said he wanted to see the king, but our sentries have already controlled him." , Majesty, shall we see you or not?
When Zhang Xianzhong heard that one person and one boat crossed the river, it was too arrogant. Thinking about Zhang Xianzhong, he said: "Bring it up!"
