Chapter 30 Attraction
"Bad guy, does it hurt so much?" Liang Xing was stabbed several times, and his calf was stabbed by an iron spear, which cracked the wound that was big on the child's mouth and bleeded. He saw that the wound on the porter's arm was not big, but he screamed so miserably that he couldn't help but look at this person.
"You don't know," the tall porter who had just almost cut Liang Xing's belly squatted on the ground, looking at his screaming partner, his eyes full of sympathy. He looked up at Liang Xing and said, "The lead is soft and it will break when it hits the body. The wound outside looks small, and the inside is broken. Use a knife to break the skin, and the hole is small and the size of a bowl inside. This arm is already ruined. If you want to survive, you have to use a knife to cut the arm."
Liang Xing stepped forward and kicked him, cursing: "Damn it all... I almost cut me off just now, but I cut your arm first."
A hint of ruthlessness appeared in the tall porter's eyes, but looking at Zhang Han, who had already reloaded it, squatted underground and did not dare to speak again.
After Zhang Han fired a shot, he directly reloaded the musket. He ordered the craftsmen in the Mule and Horse Firm to build a lot of firearms in Ji Town. This was also a benefit at that time. A large number of firearms were built in one town, and the craftsmen in the Mule and Horse Firm were drawn from all over the place. The craftsmen in the Mule and Horse Firm not only did things in Ji Town, but also were transferred to the Beijing Works Department for a year to do work, and the time came back. With such a skill, a bird gun was nothing.
The bird gun in his hand was less than five feet long and weighed about six or seven kilograms. He used four cents of medicine and three cents of lead bullets. He needed a lead bullet in front. Then he clamped the lit fuse with a faucet and tightened the ammunition, but it could not be too tight. Then when fired, the trigger opened the fire door, and the lit fuse ignited the lead bullet in the medicine pool, and then the lead bullet ignited. After the flames were sprayed, the kinetic energy generated by the gunpowder in the barrel sprayed out the lead bullet.
After the start, Zhang Han quickly reloaded it. Lahu and others were no match for him. His musket had become the killer weapon to defeat the enemy. If he had an empty gun, it would be like a fire stick.
The loading process is very cumbersome and takes more than ten steps to proceed. The earth guns that Zhang Han used to use to hit rabbits were bore flintlock guns that made iron sand, and their performance was much more advanced than the current mesh gun. Fortunately, his psychological quality was excellent. At the moment when everyone was in a mess, the second gun was finally loaded. The black musket aimed at the group of porters and finally stopped everyone's movements. This group match was considered a victory.
Hearing the porter's words, Zhang Han stopped Liang Xing and asked the man: "What's your name? Have you ever been a soldier before?"
The porter looked up at Zhang Han and replied, "The villain Wang Changfu, who used to be a soldier on the West Road of Xuanfu."
"Why did you do your footwork again?"
"The villain has a bad temper and can't continue to offend the team officer. He has no choice but to..."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Han stopped this man's words. The man in front of him was tall and powerful, but his eyes were full of viciousness. He could tell at a glance that he was not a good man, but what he said was fake. He was probably a deserter, and maybe he had any life.
Of course, before joining the army, someone might have had his life or some traitor, or just a military force. Zhang Han didn't find it strange that the Ming army was so good.
At this time, Yang Qiu and others rushed to the store and dragged the shopkeeper out. The man had already been slapped dozens of times by Yang Qiu and others. His face was blue and swollen, and his head was like a pig. There were bloodshot and saliva dripping under his lips, looking extremely miserable.
Zhang Han looked at the shopkeeper and ordered: "Drop it in the well."
"Haole."
Yang Qiu was a little surprised, but more excited.
Liang Hong's lips twitched for a moment, and he wanted to persuade him, but he didn't dare.
The rest of Lahu's face showed cruel smiles. Yang Qiu and others dragged the shopkeeper to the well at the door. The shopkeeper screamed like a pig, and the porters were in a stir. But looking at the swords and guns in Lahu's hands and Zhang Han's muskets, no one dared to move after all.
After a plop, the shopkeeper was indeed thrown into the well, constantly swaying and begging for mercy in the well, and his voice became a little dull.
Zhang Han's face was calm and looked at Wang Changfu and said, "You have good knife skills and strong strength. My mule and horse business has just been done and needs human hands. Will you succeed when you work with me?"
Wang Changfu was a little surprised and said, "The villain just got against the boss..."
"Everyone is their own master." Zhang Han still looked at the shopkeeper's scream at the bottom of the well without hearing. Wang Changfu shivered. He felt something hidden under the calm face of the young man in front of him that he was afraid of. He no longer hesitated and knelt down and said, "The villain is willing to serve the boss."
"Very good." Zhang Han nodded, looked at the other porters and asked, "Is anyone else willing?"
Five or six more porters knelt down and said, "The villain is willing to serve the boss."
Most of these porters are bachelors, composed of refugees and bankrupt farmers. There are also dismissal officers and soldiers of unknown origins like Wang Changfu, and even fugitives. However, Zhang Han didn't mind. None of the original Lahu under his command was a good product.
The same goes for the porters. The original owner asked them to fight, and if they lost the new owner, they would attract them, so they would naturally be able to give stronger performance.
Zhang Han shook his head when he thought about it. Except for those serious businessmen who are good families, what other people are...
At this time, the sound of the shopkeeper at the bottom of the well became smaller. Zhang Han said to Yang Qiu standing by the well, "Take the rope down."
"Yes, the young owner."
Yang Qiu's tone became more and more respectful. He did not dare to neglect or delay Zhang Han's orders at all. He quickly untied the bucket carrying water at his hand and threw the rope down.
The shopkeeper had been soaking for a long time, and when he saw the rope, he quickly grabbed it. Yang Qiu and his friends pulled it hard and pulled up the shopkeeper who was soaked as a dead pig.
Zhang Han rode over and didn't get down. He looked at the shopkeeper coldly without saying a word.
The other party dared not be tough at this time. He knelt under the horse's hooves and kept beating. Zhang Han waited for him to slap more than a dozen heads before saying, "If there is no next time, there will be no rope to drag you up. Your shop will be burned. Have you heard it clearly?"
"Listen, I hear it clearly, the villain will never dare again. The villain is lard and is obsessed with others..."
"I don't listen to this, I just want you to hear it clearly." Zhang Han's face was full of smiles. The more this happened, the more scared the shopkeeper was. His mule and horse business was very close to Xinpingbao. I heard that He Yusheng had started a mule and horse business and a porter business. Both of them were robbing everyone's business. They were more powerful in cross-industry and cross-industry. Zhang Han offended many people all at once. The porter in the shopkeeper's shop was sent by several foot business respectively, but the result was that Zhang Han was ruthless. Although the shopkeeper was still dissatisfied, he didn't even dare to bring out a trace of expression on his face.
Liang Hong praised on the side: "Young Master is such a good method."
Those who worked as a player Zhang Han asked someone to bring him back and train him slowly before using him. He kept the porters who had just performed very fiercely, and these guys could not be brought by his side at once, so he had to train him slowly before using him.
Zhang Han looked at the tigers again, and the seriously injured went back with the porter. Liang Xing refused to leave. Zhang Han also relied on him very much, so he asked Liang Xing to stay.
"Young Master, we are ashamed."
Liang Xing asked someone to bandage the wounded, and said with shame: "We said we were here to protect the dart, so we almost asked someone to beat him away. Thanks to the young boss taking action..."
"Everyone knows it."
Zhang Han waved his hand and said nothing. He wrapped the musket and put it away on the side of the horse's belly. Many tigers stared at the musket, but Zhang Han did not intend to make more muskets for everyone to use.
A group of mobs use their banditry and ruffian spirit. I'll give these guys a gun? I'll spare it.
Besides, it’s okay if he takes one by himself, but he has one, is he going to rebel?
Du Shenming rode over at this time, looked at Zhang Han and smiled, "It turns out that the real master is the young master, I'm really disrespectful."
Zhang Han smiled and said, "Mr. Li joked about me. There was an emergency, but fortunately I was prepared in advance."
Du Shenming whispered: "Young Master, if all your subordinates are like this, I'm afraid that the escort will not be easy to succeed. It would be a good idea to go to Datong. There are many horse thieves along the gaps between the castles in the Great Wall. Towards Daliang Mountain and Zhenluwei, there are many dangerous mountains and many bandits. It is difficult for your subordinates to have such skills and martial arts."
Zhang Han smiled faintly and said, "At the beginning of his creation, there were many violations of the forbidden matters..."
"Oh, I get it."
Du Shenming has a very delicate heart, and he can see through it at a glance.
He smiled and stopped talking, but just looked at Zhang Han, and there was a little change.
At this time, Zhang Han waved and called Liang Hong over, and instructed quietly: "We will rest later. If you don't care about the matters next to you, please consult the shopkeeper to take down his mule and horse store as our branch. He will definitely disagree. When we get up tomorrow morning, he will definitely go to the city to complain. You bring one hundred taels of silver to the general's mansion and send the silver to him. He will say that there will be respects every month in the future."
Liang Hong felt a little painful and hesitated: "It's available every month?"
"Well, tell him that there will be more in the future."
"ah?"
"I can't bear to leave the child and can't trap the wolf." Zhang Han smiled and patted Liang Hong on the shoulder, saying, "Don't bear to leave this little money, the big head must be in our hands."
That night, Zhang Han was quite satisfied with this. He originally planned to go out with Liang Hong after the New Year and spend money to buy some stores. Today, he fought like this, and it is estimated that the money from buying a store would be saved. He was not worried that Lai Tongxin would not give him face. The letter from Deputy Envoy Zheng had just been delivered, and the face was still there. In addition, he promised to give money every month. In the eyes of big figures such as Lai Tongxin and Mule Horse Business were both small businesses and small businesses. If you can't make a lot of money, you would be very happy to have money in your account. Besides, a hundred taels at a time is a generous gift. Lai Tongxin is surrounded by generals in Xinpingbao. Fighting in a group is just a small matter and no one will pay attention to it.
The next day, he left as usual. After walking about twenty miles in the morning, he determined another store location. Zhang Han initially planned to make a line from Xinping Fort to Datong Town. This was a line of official roads. There were many military forts along the way, and then opened Datong to Taiyuan. At the same time, the route to Zhangjiakou Fort was also to be made. Then to Shahukou. When these lines were opened, the business was very large. It was also the essence of the three places in Datong Xuanfu, Shanxi. As for the further distance, it was probably not good to accumulate manpower, financial resources and connections with the government in a few years.
