Chapter 255 Prelude

"Looking at Mi Jing quickly, the hills trained on the other side of the Jizhongdi came out"…※"The one who walked neatly"

People on both sides of the canal greet each other and ran towards the newly built road. Life on both sides of the canal is quite boring, and it is rare to have such fun.

According to Wang Tong's instructions, the second battalion and the 200th households of the first battalion were on duty today. They lined up in a column and took neat steps.

For the people, they have seen soldiers passing by, and those soldiers also have formations, but they walk casually and always have a bit of listlessness. They lack that energy, but now these young men are strong and wear the same style of clothes and hold the same weapons in their hands.

Although the team of about 300 people showed a different temperament while walking on the road, and the people who were watching the lively people had a very strange feeling. At first, I felt that there were not many of these people, but when I looked at them a few more, I felt that these people were much more than the actual number.

"The young men in the first battalion are capable and willing to practice. Lord Yu told me that these 200 people took the equipment and knocked out the combined second and third battalions. This would affect the balance in the training camp. This time they will be broken and used first. When what they have to do is finished, then crush them and disperse them to the battalions!"

Wang Tong and Li Hutou's mount were very close. Wang Tong kept explaining to him why he had to mobilize troops. Li Hutou was a little confused when he heard this, but his attitude was quite serious.

"Don't leave your skills behind, I heard from General Tan. You have started to learn archery with Tan Gong now. You must study hard and practice hard. At that time, you will be better than everyone in the first battalion. At that time, no one dares to refuse to accept it when you enter."

After saying the following sentence, Li Hu was stunned, but understood it. A serious expression immediately appeared on his face, and Fu Li nodded.

"Eat more meat and eat more, so that you can grow taller and stronger soon, Zhao Hong, what's wrong with it!?

Originally, he had been talking, so he let the horse walk at will. When his attention turned around, he found that the horse had stopped there and stopped leaving. Zhao Hong, whom Wang Tong called, was the battalion officer of the second battalion. He was a relatively awake person among the servants, so Zhao Hong hurried over.

"Master, there are too many people in front of you watching the fun. They blocked the road ahead and walked slowly. "In official places, call me an adult!"

After Wang Tong corrected it, he sighed. When he turned his head, General Tan said:

"General Tan, after practicing in each battalion for so long, gradually became somewhat shaped. The military discipline of this government is strict and you are tightly restrained. But look at us men, we have become good babies one by one

After saying this, Tan Jiang's face looked a little weird. He seemed a little stunned, and seemed a little amused. Wang Tong turned around and said to Zhao Hong:

"You are the soldiers of the Jinyi Guard who are on duty. You are wearing robes and weapons in your hands. You are blocked by the people. Do you still have to think about what to do? Show them what an official officer is!"

Wang Tong said vaguely, but his gesture made a slash. Zhao Hong was stunned and turned back, shouting a few words loudly.

Each battalion is a military resident. Young men who do not farm and work, are not willing to join the army to eat food. However, the punishments of the bombing camp were severe. The practices made them more respectful to military discipline. Watching the fun was a tradition of China for thousands of years. At first, everyone was a little awe-in-one around the road. Later, more and more people were crowded, and gradually blocked the road.

Without the above orders, the soldiers slowed down and did not dare to move around. Their hesitation made the idle people watching worse. Some of them were rogue and even laughed there.

After running back, the battalion officer Zhao Hong shouted loudly. The soldiers in the queue responded in unison and their neat answers scared the people around him, and some even laughed louder.

Then he couldn't laugh, and as neatly as the answer, the young and strong men in the team raised their spears in their hands and slapped them around.

The people watching the fun were too close to each other. The spear suddenly raised and photographed. Most of them were unable to avoid it. They beat each other and screamed in a burst of tears.

The battalion officer Zhao Hong shouted for a long time but couldn't see anyone giving up any place in front of him. He fought in a row. Both sides of the road were immediately empty.

"keep going!!"

The normal progress has returned to the time. Wang Tong shook the reins and looked ahead and said loudly.

"These men will fight in the future and see blood. They will be like a sheep in the ordinary season. What should they do on the battlefield? Could it be that they have to wait too!!"

The voice was a little loud. Not only the few horse riding people around me, but even the soldiers in front could hear it clearly. Everyone had thoughtful expressions and continued to move forward.

After returning to the mansion, hundreds of soldiers were easy to find, whether it was the official office of the Jinyiwei. He sighed, "The second mansion has a large number of empty houses. The Chi-faire needs to be made to let Ma Pozi buy food and supplies for the peak stone and Wujian. The supply of the military preparation yamen is nothing more than changing the location.

Zhang Shiqiang separated from Wang Tong and his group halfway, but Ran rushed back not long ago. He was Wang Tong's most confidant. No one stopped him.

In this mansion, everyone knows that Lord Wang has no female relatives to serve him, and he will complete the trivial matters of life by himself. Zhang Shiqiang asked at the door of the house and walked in directly.

After entering the room, he was stunned. Wang Tong was changing clothes. It was not an official robe or casual clothes, but a clothes worn by the servants at home. Zhang Shiqiang opened his mouth in surprise. Wang Tong asked while tying his belt:

"I'm going out later, will there be news from the blacksmith's workshop?"

"Bian said that our workshop craftsmen could build it, but there was no place to build this stove in the city, and the copper material for this cannon would cost at least three thousand taels of silver.

Speaking of this, Zhang Shiqiang hesitated. Now that he has such a large amount of silver, he is always a little nervous when he says it. Wang Tong glanced at Zhang Shiqiang and said calmly:

"It's important to him. Don't be afraid of spending money, it's a waste of time."

Hearing Wang Tong say this, Zhang Shiqiang breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a moment, and asked:

"Jiu Da wanted to ask the master, those three ghost craftsmen have some real skills, and this cannon can still be made. Is it possible to build this small cannon first. This one can be made with three or six kilograms, but it will be slower. The general cannon of nine or twelve kilograms will not be sure of it."

One pound, three pounds, six pounds, this number made Wang Tong stunned. Zhang Shiqiang also saw the confusion on Wang Tong's face and quickly explained:

"One pound, three pounds means the amount of shells. Our Ming Dynasty divided it according to this, and it is said that the Western part is also divided in this way.

Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps it was luck. Wang Tong really had some concepts about this, thanks to the amount of information that exploded in that lifetime, but this strange method of division made him a little confused. One pound was about 900 grams, and nine hundred grams was eighteen taels. If measured according to this era, one pound was sixteen taels, and this. According to the method of division of pounds, it would be similar to that pound.

Wang Tong thought for a while and spoke to Zhang Shiqiang:

"If you make six kilograms, you should not suppress the money and people. You would rather deduct the waste and make the things first and then talk to the front. I want to test the cannon. If there is a problem with one cannon, I will ask them for a head. You should go and pass the message quickly."

Zhang Shiqiang hurried out, Wang Tong tied the short knife on his calves, thought about it, and tied a short thorn on his arm. Before walking out of the house, he buckled the straw hat on his head down. There were many people eating water in Tianjin. In addition to fishermen and sailors, many people on the shore also learned the habit of shading the sun with straw hats.

If Wang Tong had not come to take a closer look, no one would have seen that this was Wang Tong, the Jinyiwei Qianhu, and would have thought that this was a servant. In this era, unless we met him in person, we could only distinguish who was from his clothes. There were very few people who had met Wang Tong in Tianjin.

Walking out the door, several generals of the Tan family changed into the servant's clothes, and Wang Tong whispered:

"Go to the back door, I'll leave first. You don't have to follow too tightly. Just spread out and see me. This is in broad daylight, you can react to anything!"

Everyone bowed together, and Wang Tong walked out, Tan Gong was quite lively. He watched Wang Tong go out, turned around and whispered to Tan Bing:

"Although our young master is from the Jinyiwei, he is not as good as you and Brother Jian who have practiced in the yamen. How come he is so familiar with such secret detectives and reconnaissance?

"Otherwise, how could we let our brother call him Master? Stop talking, follow us quickly.

Near the Gulou, there are many shops in Tianjin. After Wang Tong disguised himself, he saw several men stumbled on his head, but he didn't care much about Wang Tong, so he let him go.

Wang Tong had a bamboo basket hanging on his arm, which looked like a servant who went out to buy. The servants of wealthy families went out to do business. This was normal, no one would invest too much attention.

"Xilai Grocery" is a big grocery shop, from toothpicks to large Jingdezhen vases and even furniture with good wood, there are everything. It is very lively when people come and go.

Wang Tong walked in, walked to the accountant who was planning to plan, and asked politely:

"May I ask the shopkeeper, our mansion has decided to be "scared and striking. Have you arrived?"

The accountant looked up and asked indifferently:

"How much is it?"

"Thirty taels of gold and silver."

"It's here, right behind Curry. I'll ask a guy to get it with you!"
