Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 39 The Covenant
Speaking of power, Li Jing smiled in his heart, and he could completely ignore the tiger crouching cannon of the Ming Dynasty.

After Yuan Keli got off the car, Li Jing looked around, chose a secluded place, then pointed to that direction and said to Yuan Keli: "Master Yuan, please follow me."

Yuan Keli didn't know Li Jing's intentions, but seeing how confident Li Jing was, he nodded lightly, waved his hand to the servants and said: You will wait here. "

Li Jing walked first, walked hundreds of steps, and came to a dirt mountain. Seeing that there was no one at the foot of the mountain, he turned his head and saw that no one was following him, so he stopped.

"Master Yuan, please take a look!" Li Jing pointed to a small hillock a hundred meters away.

Yuan Keli followed Li Jing's fingers, and saw some trees growing sparsely on the hillside. The trees were obviously old and quite thick, but it was already deep winter, and the leaves had already fallen, leaving only bare branches.

Seeing that Yuan Keli was noncommittal, Li Jing smiled and said, "Master Yuan, please stand behind me. The sound of the explosion will be loud after a while. Don't be surprised by Mr. Yuan!"

Yuan Keli nodded, waved his hand at the servants, and stood behind Li Jing
Li Jing gently twisted the arrowhead onto the arrow shaft, and then slowly pulled the compound bow away.

Suddenly, with a sound of "嗖!", the arrow shot out rapidly with a sharp sound of piercing through the air!
Li Jing had adjusted the rate of fire to the most ideal state before, and his own physical strength was also great. The pulleys installed on the compound bow played a labor-saving role. The fast naked eye can no longer distinguish clearly!
Before the blink of an eye, when Yuan Keli was still staring at the arrow in Li Jing's hand, there was a sudden explosion!
Although Yuan Keli was reminded by Li Jing and was prepared in his heart, he still didn't react, his body trembled suddenly, and his hands naturally grabbed Li Jing's arm!
It took Yuan Keli a while to wake up, but when he fixed his eyes on the opposite side, he was stunned!

The hilltop a hundred meters away was covered with gunpowder smoke, and the smell of gunpowder smoke also came over, making the old man cough twice.

Li Jing gently stroked Yuan Keli's back, so that the old man could relax.

Yuan Keli glanced at Li Jing, nodded, and turned to look across.

With the breeze blowing, the gunpowder smoke gradually dissipated. Only then did Yuan Keli see that the mountain had been razed to the ground, and a deep pit appeared at the center of the explosion. , some branches have begun to burn.

"This this!"

When had Yuan Keli seen such an astonishing explosive force in his life, Li Jing could already clearly feel the trembling of his hands on his shoulders!

And the followers of Yuan Mansion and Li Jingdai's subordinates were also stunned when they heard the shocking explosion sound from a distance, and they all looked in this direction in surprise, and didn't seem to hear the neighing of the horses.

This effect was expected by Li Jing, and it was exactly what he wanted.

Patting the back of Yuan Keli's hand, Li Jing smiled and said, "My lord, how powerful is it?"

"This thing, this thing is really a divine tool. If my Ming Dynasty has such a powerful arrow, then the country will last forever!"

Yuan Keli said subconsciously, but his eyes were still fixed on the place where the explosion happened just now, and his beard was trembling uncontrollably.

Seeing that Yuan Keli was in a daze, Li Jing shook his head. It seemed that the arrow just now had really suppressed the old man, but the important thing was at the moment, so he called softly: "Master Yuan, Master Yuan!"

"Ah? Ah!" Yuan Keli finally came to his senses, but there was a different look in his eyes at this moment.

"Enter the carriage and talk!" Yuan Keli pointed to the carriage and said.

Li Jingjing nodded. It was cold at this time, and the old man couldn't be frozen, so he helped Yuan Keli back to the car.

"What did you say just now that it is about the life and death of the Han people in the world?" Yuan Keli returned to his original composure not long after returning to the car, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Li Jing also has to admire this, as he has experienced decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, his mental quality is just different from that of ordinary people.

"What did you say just now that it is about the life and death of the Han people in the world?" Yuan Keli returned to his original composure not long after returning to the car, as if what happened just now had never happened.

Li Jing also has to admire this, as he has experienced decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, his mental quality is just different from that of ordinary people.

"My lord, in a few decades, the world will change dynasties. After Jin entered the pass, the Qing Dynasty was established instead of the Ming Dynasty. Countless Han people will die under the butcher knife of the Manchus. This is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing More than 200 years later, the Qing Dynasty was corrupt and incompetent, and countries all over the world came to oppress our people, and our Chinese people lived in dire straits for nearly 100 years." Li Jing said.

"What? You said Jin will replace Daming in a few decades? My Ming Dynasty will perish? Presumptuous, you say such rebellious words. Believe it or not, I will take you down and send you to the government right now!" Yuan Keli suddenly said angrily.

I rely on!Li Jing suddenly felt that he wanted to scold his mother!This old guy's reaction is too big!

This mention that the Ming Dynasty was about to perish, why did the old man react more violently than someone digging his ancestral grave?It seems that this ancient loyal minister is really not Gaide.

"Lord Yuan, calm down! What I said is the truth. The arrow just now was nothing more than to make you believe what I said. It doesn't matter if you don't believe me, because time will prove that what I said is true. How about it, I will make a fight with my lord." Promise, if what I said comes true, you will help me." After speaking, Li Jing didn't care whether Yuan Keli agreed or not, and whispered a word in Yuan Keli's ear.

Yuan Keli didn't want to hear it at first, but Li Jing couldn't control him so much at this time, so he directly grabbed him with his hands, and he had to listen if he didn't listen.

When Li Jing finished speaking, Yuan Keli couldn't help being stunned, looked at Li Jing, finally sighed, and said, "How much time is left before Houjin replaces Daming?"

Seeing that Yuan Keli was no longer excited, Li Jing was overjoyed, and immediately continued: "Maybe it will be less than 20 years. Although I come from a later life, I can't remember the exact time."

"Since you know the situation of future generations, why don't you report it to the court so that the court can make plans earlier?" Yuan Keli said.

"My lord Yuan, you are an important minister of the court. You know more about the people in the court than I do. Even a loyal minister like you has been dismissed. They believe what a small person like me says, but what can they do? What are you willing to do?" Li Jing shook his head and said.

Yuan Keli was silent, the emperor ignored the state affairs, and Wei Zhongxian monopolized the power. He was dismissed because he refused to cling to Wei Zhongxian.

"The old man has retired, what's the use of telling me this secret?" Yuan Keli said.

"Since I can't count on those people from the imperial court, I can only do it myself. I want Mr. Yuan to help me change the fate of the Chinese nation." Li Jing said.

"You want this old man to rebel against you?" Yuan Keli asked in surprise.

"It can't be called a rebellion, it can only be said to clean up the mess. I might as well tell you that in a few years, there will be refugees all over the world, and countless people will die in this chaos. Hou Jin took advantage of it. But my ability is limited, so I asked an adult to help. Mr. Yuan is an upright official, and he cares about the common people, so he will not sit back and watch my Han world be taken over by the Tartars, right?" Li Jing said.

"Even if the old man is willing to help you, what can you and I do?" Yuan Keli shook his head and sighed.

"It's up to people! Master Yuan, this is not a place to talk. If you want to, you might as well come with me to sit in the mountains." Li Jing said.

"Alright, this is a big matter, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. It's really inconvenient to speak here. Where do you live? My father will come with you and hear what your plans are. You will lead the way. "Yuan Keli pondered for a while and said.

Li Jing got out of the car and greeted Gao Qi and others to go back to the mountain. Yuan Keli ordered the coachman to follow.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, Yuan Keli ordered his family to rest temporarily, and went up the mountain with Li Jing himself.Li Jing was not reluctant, and ordered Zhuzi and others to greet Yuan's family members, and then accompanied Yuan Keli up the mountain.

Li Jing accompanied Yuan Keli around the mountain, explained in detail the situation of the village, and showed him the training of the bandits, and then went back to his room.

"Master Yuan, what do you think of the kid's cottage?" Li Jing poured a cup of tea for Yuan Keli.

"Want to hear the truth?" Yuan Keli took a sip of tea.

"Of course!" Li Jing nodded.

"The energy of the people under you is not bad, and the training is considered hard, but they don't have the kind of killing spirit that I am invincible. In addition, your equipment is too simple. If you face the elite troops of officers and soldiers, you will definitely lose. Undoubtedly." Yuan Keli said.

Li Jing nodded after listening.

What Yuan Keli said was true. A soldier who has only been trained can never become a real soldier. Only after the test of war can an iron-blooded army be forged.

And equipment is also a problem that Li Jing desperately needs to solve.

Ironware, gunpowder and other items are under the supervision of the imperial court. Even if Li Jing used money to get through the quartermaster, he bought very few materials each time.

With this few materials, only dozens of weapons can be made, and even if they are made, there is no way to train them. After all, training needs to consume ammunition. Li Jing can't afford it now, and there is nothing to consume.

It can be said that weapons have seriously restricted Li Jing's development.

"And..." Yuan Keli paused as he spoke.

"But it's okay to say." Li Jing continued.

"You guys are all a mob. You don't have any detailed division of labor at all, and you don't have any long-term plans. For example, you are mobilizing them to open up the wasteland you are opening up now. You have done a good job, which shows that you are indeed I've put my heart into it, but let me ask you, who should own that piece of wasteland?" Yuan Keli said.

"Of course it belongs to everyone, whoever drives it owns it." Li Jing said.

"Wrong, this piece of wasteland is yours. You distribute the land to them and let them open up the wasteland. Moreover, you provide all the tools they use to open up the wasteland. You also take care of their food and drink. The land that is opened up should naturally be yours. Yes. You may not understand why I emphasize that this piece of land is yours, because the land is yours, so no matter who planted your land, they need to pay you grain, and you collect the grain and feed the people under you, understand ?Even if you donate the land to others, they have to give you food, only in this way can you live forever." Yuan Keli shook his head and said.
