Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 193 Verse

The river inspection department was built on the south tower of the old city of Song Dynasty. Although the city wall collapsed unevenly, this piece of the city tower was all wrapped in bricks, which was extremely strong. It shot down from a height of more than ten meters, and the entire ferry crossed just right. Covered under his firepower, everything greeted downwards for a while, and the army crossing the river was bloodied and wounded, and the progress of crossing the river was interrupted at once.

At this time, it has been more than four hours to cross the river, and almost all the 1000 troops have passed. There are more than 7000 cavalry left on the west bank of the Yellow River, less than [-] infantry, and the remaining [-] are old and weak, hungry people helping to carry things. Combat power can be regarded as the weakest time.

"How the hell did you investigate?"

Scarface was almost out of breath. He grabbed Li Tiezhu and slapped him across the face. With red eyes, he yelled angrily, "How the hell did you investigate?"

Li Tiezhu was also stunned, and he came back to his senses after being slapped in the face. He was also in a rage and kicked the river soldier who had been watching the fun nearby to the ground, put the knife on his neck and yelled: "Fuck you!" Dare to frame Lao Tzu!"

"Master, the little one is innocent!" He Dao yelled at the general with snot and tears on the ground: "They also took the military order of the governor of Yansui, and strictly ordered the little one not to tell anyone!"

"Damn they are all traitors!"

Li Tiezhu was also addicted to acting, and at this time he was still buttoning his hat, so anxious that his scarred face simply grabbed his collar and kicked his buttocks again, yelling: "Take the inspection department down for me immediately!"

Li Tiezhu hastily drew his sword and assembled his subordinates again. At this time, he has rebelled for more than three years, and Miao Mei, who has long been accustomed to all kinds of sneak attacks by officials and dogs, drew his sword earlier, urging his cavalry to charge first Going over, he carried the cavalry shield and took the lead in killing the past densely packed bullets.

It's no wonder that Wang Zuohang's rebellion has not been wiped out by the government army for more than three years. These men from northern Shaanxi who were killed in a sea of ​​swords and blood are indeed sturdy. He rushed forward, and within a few breaths, he had already reached the base of the big city building where the inspection department was, and rushed into the tower with the stones thrown down like raindrops.

Seeing this scene, Scarface in charge of the command was relieved, but not long after, Miao Mei rushed out from the gap in the broken city wall again, panting with an arrow hanging from her back, and plunged into the place where she had been hiding far away. The begging army formed a large formation, and before they had time to catch their breath, they had already yelled curses.

"Turtle's son! The way up to the stairs has been stone-blocked by these officials and dogs, and I can't go up at all!"

"There are still a few cannons, pull them all, I don't believe that I can't kill these officials! Mom? Bazi!"

With Scarface's roar, all the tiger squatting cannons that hadn't had time to be delivered to the ship were pulled over. Xiao Luobo, who was on sentry and reconnaissance, led more than a dozen scout cavalry, and the crying father and mother came back again.

"Report! He is handsome!"

It really rolled off the horse like a gourd, and the voice of the little carrot with a long tone has changed.

"To the northwest, Gouzi, the big stock officer, under the banner of Yansui Governor Hong, came here like us, and killed him by the Yellow River in half an hour at the latest. Let's hurry up..., what the hell is this?"

Looking at the officers and soldiers who were setting off fireworks on the tower of the river inspection department, Xiao Luobo's eyes suddenly became straight. Scarface calmed down at this moment, looked at Song Qingshu who was standing in a daze against the inspection department, and then looked at Li Tiezhu, who was sweating profusely, and Miao Mei, who was extremely anxious, took a deep breath, dragged Song Qingshu to the river with their scarred faces.

"Qu Shuai, you take Caiwei and the others to pass first, and I will stay here to finish off!"

Hearing Scarface's words, the other generals trembled violently, and they all took a hard look at Scarface, but no one said anything, and lowered their heads one by one.

Don't look at the tens of thousands of people on the west bank of the Yellow River, only three thousand can be fought, and even half of the combat power can't be displayed when crossing the river in panic, not to mention there is a tower that spews fire outside.
Now is the time to really test loyalty. Song Qingshu is now a general under his command, and Miao Mei has trusted him here. At this time, it may not be too reliable to let him die. Liu Zongmin is willing to fight for Song Qingshu. After crossing the Yellow River, there is no hope. Li Tiezhu doesn't have the courage, and Xiaoluo doesn't have the ability. At this time, only Scarface can resist!
"Take good care of Caiwei! Otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!" While pushing, with a scarred face, he said the last words hastily. After being pushed a few steps, Song Qingshu came back to his senses and violently opened his hands Said.

"Don't make it as if it's an funeral, wouldn't it be over if you blow it up?"

"Blow it up?"

If it wasn't for the urgent time, Scarface really wanted to give Song Qingshu some common sense, he didn't even answer the conversation, pushed Song Qingshu to continue walking to the river, and even called the guards to go to the Yellow River beach to greet the sluggish boatman who dared not come in the middle of the river to make a detour , The other generals also took advantage of the situation and followed, only Li Tiezhu followed Scarface with a green face.

Song Qingshu let go of this look helplessly: "I said, just blow it up!"

"If you want to blow up this thing, how can you blow it without tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder? Not to mention that more than half of the gunpowder barrels have been transported, even if it's all here, we don't have ten thousand catties!" Scarface finally yelled out in a rage.

Don't be in a hurry. In this case, Song Qingshu still shook his head and sighed: "As expected of Hong Chengchou, a hero of the generation! Lao Tzu's strategy of arrogance, which took so much trouble, was so easily seen through by him. He probably got it right." I will definitely supervise the army on the west bank, and I must get rid of me!"

If you know, let's go!Stop pretending here!This almost became the unanimous voice of Scarface and other generals. Just when they were about to collapse collectively, Song Qingshu snapped his fingers again.

"Go, invite Father Tang Ruowang Tang!"

…………

More than a dozen miles away from Yongning Pass, even the most reluctant cooks and luggage were left behind, urging the army under his command, Hong Chengchou rushed forward with great excitement.

He is actually gambling too!His friend Sun Chuanting in Shanxi sent him a letter, pointing out the nearest ferry to Shanxi from here to Hong Chengchou, and then Hong Chengchou divided his troops into two groups. The elite of the two thousand frontier troops was first led by Li Bei to rescue Qingyang Mansion, five hundred The elite cavalry, one man and three horses, arrived at the Yongningguan Ferry two days ago and ambushed at the River Inspection Department. He led his troops around to check the ferry first to make sure there was no Song Qingshu before turning back to Qingyang.

But just this morning, on the way, he met a businessman who had fled back and told him that a huge army was crossing the river, and the leader of the team, He Renlong, was so domineering, and Hong Chengchou was overjoyed.

He Renlong was by his mother's side, he said how Song Qingshu obediently returned the seal, and it was actually used here!
Throwing away all the food and supplies, Hong Chengchou urged his subordinates to rush to the bank of the Yellow River at a high speed. There was a muffled thunder-like sound from the east, which made Hong Chengchou very happy. He seemed to faintly see Song Qingshu crying The face stood in front of him.

But when he was about to arrive fifteen or six miles away, a sound like a thunderbolt from the blue sky suddenly came over. Even though the distance was so far, Hong Chengchou still felt his body tremble slightly. The Bloody Butcher felt something bad in his heart! .

"Hurry up! The whole army runs for me! Those who lag behind, the military law is in charge!"

Listening to Hong Chengchou's order, even the leading officer, He Renlong, the famous frontier soldier, couldn't sit still. He had no choice but to grab the reins of Hong Chengchou's horse, and shouted anxiously: "Commander, you can't go any faster! , If we continue to run, the army will be panting on the bank of the river and will not be able to fight any more, but it will be easily taken advantage of by thieves!"

"My government is quick! All the consequences will be borne by this government!"

Looking at Hong Chengchou's distorted face, even if he was as fierce as He Renlong, he couldn't help but feel terrified. Forget it, I don't care about you fucking looking for death. He agreed, and He Renlong urged the team while riding him The more than 200 soldiers gathered together, and if something changed, he would put oil on the soles of his feet first. Anyway, with the soldiers in hand, the court did not dare to pursue it too much. At worst, he would be dismissed and returned to his hometown. Let him come out as an official!

Just running wildly all the way, when we reached the Yongningguan Ferry, it was still a step too late.

The towering tower of the river inspection department collapsed completely, and the cavalry on it became the first leader in human history to fly into the sky. Unfortunately, the landing was not well controlled, and now various parts are scattered on the ground. Within a radius of more than ten miles, for the rest, the Peasant Army didn't even leave him a shoe.

"How is it possible? To blow up such a large tower requires at least tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder. Where did Song Qingshu get so much gunpowder?" Looking at the ruins of the tower, Hong Chengchou murmured in disbelief.

"Superintendent, look!"

The more than 3 peasant troops on the other side are neatly arrayed, and hundreds of banners of the begging army are floating above the team. In the center of the Yellow River, there is an extraordinarily large Song character banner that follows more than a dozen boats to the east bank of the Yellow River. Ferrying, pointing to that side, He Renlong yelled.

In fact, not only Hong Chengchou was shocked, but the scarred face on the boat was also completely shocked. It was just two small boxes of loess lumps weighing less than [-] kilograms, but the explosive power was so strong that it surpassed tens of thousands of kilograms of gunpowder!
How did they know that this is the masterpiece of the later dynamite master Nobel, dynamite!

The soap-making waste liquid contains a certain proportion of glycerin, which can be extracted by foreign monks' western alchemy. After nitration, it becomes the famous explosive nitroglycerin. However, this thing is easy to explode if shaken a little. Old Mr. Bell has already had a solution. Use diatomaceous earth to absorb flowing glycerin and make a yellow soil block, which will become extremely stable.

However, Nobel used mercury fulminate to explode and ignite the gunpowder. It will take 200 years for this thing to be born. Song Qingshu, who is not from science and engineering, knows that Nobel is already good. How can he know how to make that thing?In desperation, they had to put concentrated sulfuric acid in a jar, hang it above the yellow gunpowder, and use a candle to burn the rope to delay the explosion time. The exothermic chemical reaction instantly ignites the explosive.

Last time in Xi'an City, the explosion of Song Qingshu's cheating restaurant was also caused by this one, but the impure liquid nitroglycerin used by Song Qingshu.

At this time, even if it was too late to fire the cannon, the unwilling Hong Chengchou ran to the bank of the Yellow River and shouted loudly.

"Mr. Song! All this is a misunderstanding! As long as you are willing to come back, the government promises that all the previous incidents will be cancelled! I, Hong Chengchou, swear on my life that I will recommend you as the deputy commander! Give yourself another chance! It's time to turn around!"

Things have come to this point, how could Song Qingshu trust Hong Chengchou again?This time it wasn't just him, even Scarface, Hongniang Xing, Xiao Luobo and others around him sneered again, but after a moment of hesitation, he pushed away the firecracker that Scarface was about to raise, and Song Qingshu also withdrew his voice.

"Master Hong, can you believe my verses of Song? After 12 years, above Songshan City, I hope you will think about giving Daming another chance!"

"Marshal Du, what is this bastard talking about?" He Renlong was confused when he heard it, but Hong Chengchou was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help Nan Nan chewing on the verse Song Qingshu left him.

"Matsuyama? Chance?"
