I have a cornucopia

Chapter 9 Rheinmetall is rich and Laiyang Steel Pipe is poor

the next day.

Rizhao County.

In the chaos of the streets, Yang Feng rushed in with two hundred cavalrymen including Su Dunsheng and Yang Daxun.

Behind them were at least two hundred pack horses.

Of course Anton Wei does not have so many horses.

But on the battlefield by the Longwang River, there were many horses abandoned by the Qing army. Yang Daxun and others also robbed more than 300 horses while cutting off the heads of the Qing army. In fact, they also robbed more than 300 cattle. Moreover, Yang Feng had just received the news when the Anton Guard set out. Hu Ranyue and Wang Zong led the Anton Guard troops to land in Ganyu and then...

Of course, grab it too!
  Countless livestock, grain, and even cloth and copper coins were abandoned by the Qing army on the entire battlefield.

Of course, there are also countless young women.

Not to mention the Anton Guard households, the young men who had been rescued, and even the armed landlords in Ganyu who originally protected themselves joined the fight.

There are those who steal women.

So this shows how naive Su Dunsheng's previous fantasies were.

Return to the army!

What a bad thing it is when the officers and soldiers arrive!

Of course, these have nothing to do with Yang Feng.

All he wants is that these people and property will not be taken outside the customs. As for other things, he is just one person and not a god. This is the current situation in the Ming Dynasty. He is not someone else's nanny. In this chaotic era, Here, the nerves must be thick enough.

otherwise……

Otherwise, he will be angry to death.

In fact, the key to his success lies in his original identity. He was originally a member of the local gentry group, and he had a clan and in-laws. He was originally a local tyrant and evil gentry. In the Ming Dynasty, people like them had the final say in local affairs, so he could quickly gather people and get local officials to accept his suggestions. If he were an ordinary citizen, would he still want commanders like Hu Ranyue and Wang Zong to let a powerful young man like Su Dunsheng listen to him?

who are you?

Where did the unruly people come from!

"Quick, search all the stores, don't leave even a pound of sugar."

Having already adapted to the times, he pointed at the store in front and shouted.

Then he dismounted and moved his worn body in a strange way...

This was his first time riding a horse.

And he ran eighty miles in one breath.

It's already pretty good without any parts being swollen.

At this time, a civil servant came hurriedly with a group of obvious local gentry. He was seeing the cavalry rushing towards the store under Yang Feng's order. After yesterday's battle, these soldiers almost worshiped Yang Feng as a god. There are a hundred servants here, and another hundred are soldiers who were originally riding in the car. In fact, there are still some military households who follow them on their own initiative. After all, they still need to be able to ride a horse. They have absolutely obeyed Yang Feng's orders. The first few were whipping the shopkeeper with horsewhips, and the other ones who were familiar with the situation had already pulled out a bag of sugar from the counter. Rizhao County and Antonwei were only eighty miles apart, but in fact, most of the land in Antonwei was still there. Those in Rizhao County only belong to Weitian. As a military unit, Andongwei is not subject to local restrictions. Although most of its land is in Rizhao County, it is also located in Zhucheng and Ganyu, so it is actually a cross-provincial military unit.

"Okay, this quality is enough."

Yang Feng grabbed a handful of white sugar that was clearly decolorized and said.

White sugar was the flagship product for export in the Ming Dynasty, and it could even be said to have a technological monopoly. However, by this time the Dutch were probably already producing white sugar on a certain island relying on Fujian craftsmen. However, large-scale production of white sugar in Southeast Asia would have to wait until after the demise of the Ming Dynasty. Immigrants fleeing south.

Of course, it's sugar.

As for brown sugar and rock sugar, they are very old. Only decolorized white sugar is unique to the Ming Dynasty.

"Bold, what do you want to do? Do you want to rob me in front of me?"

The civil servant said angrily.

"Mengzhi County, right?"

Yang Feng walked up to him with crotch-grinding steps.

This is Meng Jiashi, the magistrate of Rizhao County.

"We are going to Juzhou for rescue. We need a large amount of white sugar for military use. The Anton Guards have already requisitioned it, and now we are requisitioning the sugar from Rizhao County. As for the price of sugar, after we kill and retreat the rebels and save Juzhou, we will naturally report it to the court from Juzhou. It is indispensable. Your money."

Yang Feng said.

"Your Excellency, you are Yang Sheng? Who gave you the power to requisition your life as a member?"

Meng Zhixian said angrily.

Yang Feng thought deeply...

Before Meng Zhixian could react, he suddenly grabbed the latter's neck from behind, and then punched his face on the ground. The unlucky Meng Zhixian screamed...

"I, Tamar, went to fight against the Jianlu and ordered sweets with us. What's the matter? What power do we have? Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. What's more, I am still a soldier. When the Jianlu invaded, the country was shaken, and the people died, Your Majesty was humiliated. At this time, as His Majesty's magistrate, you do not fully support us in killing the enemy for the country, but instead obstruct us? Is this how you serve the Emperor?
  Where does your loyalty lie? "

Yang Feng knelt down, looked at Meng Zhixian whose face was covered with blood, and said with awe and righteousness.

"Your Majesty, my father supervises the censor. You don't want him to impeach you and delay the military plan, right? If Juzhou falls because of this, your life may not be saved. We went to rescue Juzhou under the orders of Anton Wei."

Su Dunsheng also squatted down and said sincerely.

Then he actually took out the military order. He wrote it himself.

Just go to the Guards Commander's Yamen and find a blank military order and write it in the standard format. Although the seal is carried by Hu Ranyue, Yang Daxun is also the commander!

Hu Zhangyin commanded the troops to go south, and Commander Yang was ordered to stay as a guard to take charge of military affairs. He just put his seal on it.

Mengzhi County...

"Get up, now I'll give you a chance to make a difference."

Yang Feng said.

Meng Zhixian: Why am I guilty?

Of course, a smart person like him also knew that he was actually set up by Yang Feng and Su Dunsheng. They lured him to come forward by robbing the store in front of him, and then labeled him as a delayer of the military plane. The key is that Su Dunsheng's father Su Jing is the censor, and he is also a very favored censor recently. After all, he was also the one who was later given the sword Shang Fang by Chongzhen to supervise the army. As long as Su Dunsheng wrote a letter to his father to fabricate the situation, and then Su Jing would impeach him, it would not be impossible for Chongzhen to kill him directly based on his current mood.

His Majesty the Emperor is very manic now.

Of course, Mengzhi County already knew that Yang Feng and others were fighting back the Qing army in the south, and Rizhao was indeed a county under Juzhou.

If the Qing army captured Juzhou...

Then everyone just used him as a scapegoat.

It was he who deliberately blocked Anton Wei's reinforcements in Juzhou that led to the fall of Juzhou.

It's him, it's him, it's him.

Many officials are glad that someone finally has someone to take the blame.

Of course, the key is that Su Dunsheng's father is a big talker, the censor, all officials in the Ming Dynasty are afraid of these mad dogs, not to mention the county magistrate, even the vassal king has to send money to the censor to coax the censor not to make trouble.

"Master Meng County, hurry up and collect all the sugar and sulfur in the city for us to eat along the way, and then feed the horses for us. In addition, I think it is best for your county to evacuate the people as soon as possible. If you can go to Shijiu Station, We have prepared ships to go to sea, and those who can't go will go into the mountains. If the Jianlu can't open Juzhou, they may turn this way, and they don't have much food now."

Yang Feng said.

This is probably inevitable.

After all, there is only Rizhao left in the area that has not been captured.

There was no food in the cities that had been looted. Even those who survived had taken refuge in the mountains. As for those in the countryside outside who had not been killed, they also ran into the mountains.

This is the edge of the Yimeng Mountains, with mountains to the west and north.

"These are my responsibilities, so I don't have to worry about it, Yang Sheng!"

Meng Zhixian took the towel handed by his subordinates and wiped the blood on his face.

He just had a bruise on his head.

In addition, there are just a few scratches on the face.

"Naughty!"

Yang Feng said with a smile.

He came just to get sugar and sulfur.

The ton of potassium nitrate and steel pipes were carried on those horses. The steel pipes had been cut into pieces of more than one meter. There were tools on the dump truck. Unfortunately, the ton was potassium nitrate rather than ammonium nitrate, but it was barely enough. That's okay.

If you are rich, you will be Rheinmetall, if you are poor, you will be Laiyang Steel Pipe!

Simple rockets are indeed a waste of these precious materials, but potassium nitrate mixed with sugar and sulfur can also explode. In fact, potassium nitrate is the nitrate in gunpowder, and its purity is not comparable to that of the nitrate brewed at this time. However, this thing is better than nothing when used for explosions. It is not much stronger than gunpowder. The Ming army is not short of gunpowder. Even in a place like Anton Wei, there is still a pile of gunpowder of worrying quality in the warehouse. It weighed several thousand kilograms, and he also carried these. If he added sugar, the power would be adequate for temporary use. However, his potassium nitrate and sugar had another more valuable use.

Incendiary bomb.

This is really the best use.

Yang Feng drove Mengzhi County, and Mengzhi County drove away the local gentry. Of course, it was mainly Yang Daxun who led the cavalry with knives to intimidate them. In short, the search for sugar and sulfur was quickly completed in a hurry.

They even raided several gentry's warehouses in the city, causing a group of gentry who knew Yang Feng and Su Dunsheng to angrily accuse them of disturbing the place.

then……

Then Yang Feng carried a cannon and blasted them all away.

As for his cannon...

His stainless steel pipes are stronger than the cast-iron cannons at that time, and they are no worse than bronze cannons. After they are red-hot, a weight is smashed in, then the tail is smashed down, the weight is wrapped inside, and a fuse hole is drilled to create a cannon. Light artillery. These steel pipes are all five centimeters in diameter, which is a cannon with a caliber of fifty. Soldiers can hold it and run. A dozen bullets are stuffed in it and fired out. It is enough to break armor at close range. It just needs to be made into a gun mount. .

But Yang Feng doesn't need it.

"Damn, you are a bunch of talkers, come on, I have real guns!"

He held the one-meter-long steel pipe in his hands, just like holding a guitar, and put it on his waist. The soldiers behind him lit the fire for him, and then with a bang, the steel pipe with reduced charge and no actual loading sprayed flames from the muzzle. , it was said that his classmates who were talking loudly in front of him suddenly dispersed.

"Classmate? The national crisis is facing us, and our classmates can't do it either. Yang is ruining his family for the sake of the country, and he doesn't even care about his family, let alone his classmates?"

He said.

However, the recoil of this thing was not small, and he took a step back after being pushed.
