The Great Bandit in Kangxi Year

Chapter 136
Seeing that Chen Dajiang backed off without saying much, Jiang Tao was very relieved. He asked Wang Dashan to sit down, and said with a slight smile, "Dashan, it's good to be back. Are there any troubles on the way?"

Wang Dashan clasped his fists, and reported cautiously: "You are the master, and some petty thieves are not a problem, but after a long delay in Huoqiu County, this time a big person came, it is said to be a Manchu minister, Mingzhu, many The dignitaries and merchants are all waiting to see the jokes of my Black Tiger Army, if it is not for military affairs, I will never spare them."

"Hehe, it's okay, good time, but is there any other news?" Jiang Tao chuckled, he knew himself, and being scolded was expected, so laugh, the real laugh is only when you laugh at the end.

"By the way, that old dog Wu Sangui really rebelled in November last year, the young master is really amazing!" Wang Dashan slapped his thigh and said ecstatically.

Cheng Zhang looked at Wang Dashan in surprise, and sighed in his heart: "Could it be that the black tiger is really the reincarnation of the black tiger star, and can predict the future?"

Jiang Tao secretly smiled in his heart, pretending to be mysterious, and said solemnly with his eyes closed: "By the end of March this year, General Wu Sangui has marched forward with his army, and even captured Yuanzhou, Changde, Chenzhou, Changsha, Yuezhou, Hengzhou and other strategic areas. important town."

Cheng Zhang's eyes widened, and he asked eagerly, "Is this true?"

"Absolutely can't be wrong." Jiang Tao replied firmly, and it was only at this time that Wang Dashan came to his senses.

"Doesn't that mean that the Manchu Tartars won't be able to dance for long?" Wang Dashan blurted out, obviously believing Jiang Tao's prediction.

Cheng Zhang also stretched his neck and stared at Jiang Tao intently. Jiang Tao smiled, shook his head and said, "That's wrong, old thief Wu is not that capable, at most he will stay with the Qing army for a few years."

Wang Dashan and Cheng Zhang sighed and rejoiced at the same time, feeling extremely complicated.

Wu Sangui's reputation is not good, no one responds, and he only wanted to rule the river, so he failed miserably.

Jiang Tao's heart moved, the name is not right, sometimes the reputation is very useful, just about to say what's in his heart, he didn't want Cheng Zhang to clap his hands and laugh: "Okay, okay, in this way, the third prince Zhu who was captured by the general It will be of great use!"

"Third Uncle, talk about it!" Jiang Tao nodded, Jiang Guozhen was still old and hot, and thought of being with him.

"You can send a large number of spies, on the one hand to spread the news that the Black Tiger Army is the personal guard of the Third Prince Zhu, and that the Third Prince Zhu is in Jinzhai County. , and announce to the world what you just said, but will it really happen?" Cheng Zhang spoke eloquently, and asked cautiously again.

"Absolutely, okay. Third Uncle will hurry to make arrangements. In addition, he will issue an order to kill Manchu, saying that if he kills an authentic Manchu Tartar, he will get ten acres of fertile land or 20 taels of silver. Manchu princes and ministers will also reward him heavily. The Black Tiger Army As soon as it comes out, it will be cashed on the spot." Jiang Tao shouted confidently, even if no one kills the Tartars this time, it will definitely make the Manchu Tartars suspicious and let them live in fear all day long.

As for whether the Black Tiger Army's move would cause fire, Jiang Tao didn't think much about it.

"What a killing order, it's really a stroke of genius. I'll do it now, but I'll let everyone know about it." Cheng Zhang understood, and strode out of the Black Tiger Hall. He already had a candidate in his heart. Selecting 50 people, plus not accepting them at night, will definitely fulfill the mission.

But Wang Dashan didn't understand it: "Young Master, will someone respond to kill the Tartars?"

"It doesn't matter whether you kill or not, as long as you let the Manchu Tartars know." Jiang Tao sneered, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly told Cheng Zhang that the spies sent out this time can stay in various places and establish a preliminary team. The intelligence network is led by Jiang Hu and Dou Jiyan who are in Hefei as the chief and deputy commanders. This army is a branch of the secret guard, called Hawkeye.

Hearing that Cheng Zhang wanted to send Yebu to come over, Jiang Tao agreed on the spot, and then he said to Wang Dashan beside him, "Dashan, let's go see Mr. Dai right away."

Wang Dashan scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "Young master, except for the youngest, this kid doesn't like hard things, he has a big temper, the general should take care of him."

"It doesn't matter, as long as you have talent, it doesn't matter if you call me a bloody sprayer." Jiang Tao smiled indifferently, but he had some expectations in his heart, hoping that this firearms expert would not let him down.

………….
When he came to Dai Zi's residence, Jiang Tao saw the energetic Tiger and Leopard Cavalry captains still guarding the left and right sides of the wing, and he felt warm, and said gently: "Okay, you are indeed a sharp fighter of the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, let's rest for a few minutes first." God, let’s go back to the team.”

"Follow the general's order!" All the tiger and leopard riders shouted rigorously, and retreated one after another.

"Sir, my general is here." Wang Dashan knocked on the door and entered the room first, he was mainly afraid that the people inside would attack Heihu.

Jiang Tao shook his head, strode in, and said with shame on his face: "Jiang took the liberty to invite Mr. Dai, and I hope Mr. Dai will forgive me if I am rude!"

I saw a young man looking up at him with neither humble nor overbearing, and a young beautiful woman with red and swollen eyes, holding a three-year-old boy in horror, the boy waved his small fist and said angrily: "You black-faced thief, Let's see if this young master captures you in the government."

That man must be Dai Zi, he coughed lightly, the child immediately fell silent, waved the beautiful woman to the back hall, and then said calmly: "I think you are the bandit Heihu?"

"What a smart and cute child!" Jiang Tao smiled awkwardly, bowed his body slightly, and said solemnly: "I am ashamed, although Jiang was born in a reckless family, he dare not forget his roots. The next one is Heihu. If Mr. Dai doesn't mind, Jiang is willing to respect Mr. Dai as his teacher!"

"It's a hero, but it's a pity that Dai has no morals and talents. Why should he be a teacher? It's a pity, it's a pity that he has great ambitions, but it will be short-lived in the end. Why not make preparations earlier?" Dai Zi was also secretly impressed by Jiang Tao's demeanor, but he didn't show it. , still neither salty nor bland.

"Oh, haha, sir, why should you be modest? Now that Wu Sangui has rebelled, all the heroes in the world have risen together, and the third prince Zhu and the Chuanguo Yuxi are all in the hands of Jiang, and there are tens of thousands of hot-blooded men. If you want to try the weight of the Tartars, it’s not a problem to throw your head and blood, there are thousands of Han people, and there are always people with blood.” Jiang Tao smiled instead of anger, and his words were well-founded and tempting.

Dai Zi's face darkened, and he stopped talking, but thought in his heart: "Offending the scholar-bureaucrats and the powerful landlords, plus tens of thousands of elite Manchu cavalry, everything is false, but how could the Jade Seal of Chuanguo be in this reckless man's hands?" hand?"

It was inconvenient for Wang Dashan to interrupt, but he was very angry in his heart. He was about to scold him, but Jiang Tao waved his hand and continued to talk: "Mr. Dai can make firearms?"

Dai Zi was taken aback, how could this person understand his hobbies, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Dai is just a useless scholar, he has always dismissed things with strange skills."

Jiang Tao was taken aback for a moment, looked carefully, and saw his eyelids twitching, and he spoke very reluctantly, and immediately understood his intentions, he laughed and said: "Mr. must have been tired all the way, so I will trouble you next time, sir. Commander Wang will do what is needed, and Jiang will leave now!"

Dai Zi was obviously taken aback, and fell into deep thought: "The whole family has fallen into a den of thieves, what should we do?"

Jiang Tao knew what he was up to and went out directly. Wang Dashan complained: "General, could it be that we have caught the wrong person? This person is not at all like a scholar, he is simply extremely rude."

"Hehe, scholars are also rude sometimes, the days are long, you should also go to rest."

Jiang Tao is not sure, but this person is not surprised when things happen, and he is still a scholar. Even if he is not a firearms expert, he deserves to be treated with courtesy. Thinking of this, he didn't think too much, and went directly to Jiang Zhong, who was developing a grenade: "Uncle, there is one thing to be determined." Help my nephew!"

"Why is it so urgent? As for the grenade you mentioned, it's not ready yet. It's mainly an automatic ignition device, unless you use a fire switch to light it." Jiang Zhong didn't raise his head, still closing his eyes and thinking.

Jiang Tao thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a solution. The grenade of later generations opened the cover, and there was a fire tube connected to the pull wire. When the friction force ignites the propellant, the propellant ignites the delay tube and detonates the gun a few seconds later.

One is that there is no gun, the gun is made of thunder mercury, let alone thunder mercury at this time.

The second is the ignition device, abominable mathematics, physics and chemistry. Jiang Tao's head was as big as a bucket for a while, and he said helplessly: "Then use manual ignition for the time being. Don't be busy, uncle. The military academy is the foundation of our Black Tiger Army. You must go to sit in the town, and you can't help it." Only you are qualified."

Jiang Zhong sighed, calmed down and thought for a while before saying: "Brother Cheng is also fine, I insist on developing a hand grenade that automatically ignites."

"Uncle, the third uncle is too busy to be dizzy. Besides, you can continue to study when you arrive at the military academy, but there are a few important things about the military academy..." Jiang Tao tried hard to persuade him for a quarter of an hour, and then Jiang Zhong sighed and agreed: "Forget it, but the old man can't hold on for a few years."

Jiang Tao's heart darkened, seeing that Jiang Zhong's hair was covered with white hair, and he couldn't speak for a while, it seemed that he must find his sister back.
