Chapter 77 Yulin Thief (2)

"What?" Re-elected seventh generation was moved. The Yulin Army is now in a hurry to lack weapons, especially bows and arrows. There are less than one hundred bows in the entire army. Now, the person in front of him has 100 bows and 200 knives at one move. Although he doesn't know the quality, it is indeed a great temptation for the Yulin Army.

Zhang Qi was much calmer, and he understood even more that there was no free lunch in the world: "Mr. He, I wonder what the price our army will pay to get this batch of weapons?"

"No cost is needed. The emperor said that the Tartars entered the Central Plains to cut off our Chinese clothes and make tens of millions of Han people their slaves. This hatred is not a family of family members, but all Han people have great hatred. Only those who can fight the Tartars will support the court. These weapons are only the first time now. If necessary, the court will transport more weapons."

Ren Qi and Zhang Qi looked at each other in his eyes. There were such good things. Zhang Qi thought that the Jinyiwei should at least make them loyal to the emperor. For those like Zhang Qi who have been reading for a few years, the Southern Ming Dynasty was orthodox, and it was a good thing to be recognized by the court. However, the Yulin Army did not hate the government officials to the core. They even killed the Tartars and opposed the Ming government. If they wanted to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty to obtain these weapons, many people would probably oppose it.

"Mr. He really doesn't need any price?" Zhang Qi asked suspiciously.

"Of course, if you don't believe it, you can get it with me immediately." He Chao replied affirmatively.

"Slowly, there are a large number of Tartar troops outside Yulin. Where did you come from and how far away the weapons are from here? How do we know if this is a trick you set up to lead us out and take the opportunity to disappear us." Ren Qi asked coldly. He still didn't believe He Chaodi's identity.

He Chao wanted to spread his hands, but found that his hands were still tied. He had to put his hands down: "Two leaders, although there are a large number of Tartars outside Yulin, it is true that Yulin connects Henan. Now Henan is a territory that is in the opposite direction. The two leaders might as well ask whether the Chen A-si brothers who were escorting me in were found in the southwest direction, and the place where the weapons were stored was not in Shandong. But at the junction not far from Henan. I wonder what questions the two leaders have?"

"In Henan, Lord He, Caomin offended him." Ren Qi bowed. At the moment, the Dashun Army was going to war with the Qing army in Shanxi. The Qing army had no reason to ambush him in the direction of Henan. Moreover, there was no need for two hundred knives and one hundred bows to carry them. The Qing army did not need to work so hard to set up an ambush and only annihilate a small army. But he was still wondering in his heart. How could the Jinyiwei transport weapons from the territory of the Dashun Army?

Ren Qi naturally didn't know that since the court sold the muskets to the Dashun Army, the relationship between the two sides was in the honeymoon period, and such a small amount of supplies was easily caught in the supplies sold to the Dashun Army.

He Chao stretched out his hand: "Two sirs, here..."

Zhang Qi quickly patted his head: "Look at me." He Chao himself untied the rope tied to the ground on his hand.

After resting for a day in the Yulin military camp, He Chao took a team of people to retrieve weapons the next day. Although Ren Qi and Zhang Qi, the two Yulin military bosses, had almost believed in He Chao's identity. However, when he left the village, He Chao still walked with his face covering for more than half an hour before taking off the mask.

The action of taking the weapons was very smooth this time. Two days later, one hundred bows, two hundred knives, and twenty armors were in Ren Qi's hands. Ren Qi looked at it and was overjoyed. The quality of these weapons was actually better than the best weapons in Ren Qi's army now. I couldn't help but try them one by one. Finally, I changed into a gorgeous armor. Ren Qi immediately felt that his subordinates' eyes became different when they looked at him.

"Big leader. You are so mighty when you wear this armor. Just like an ever-winning general." Chen Asi praised.

Ren Qi wore the ground with the ground. This kind of bright light armor was passed down from the Tang Dynasty. It was protected by the head with a sling. There were upward rolling ears on both sides of the sling. The sling was also decorated with a sling hanging to the shoulders and back to protect the neck; the chest plate was divided into two pieces, and the center was tied with a sling. There was a round guard on each side. The shoulders covered the arms. There were arm guards on the arms; there were two slings on the waist. There were two knee skirts under the belt to protect the thighs. The slings were wrapped around the calves. The structure of this armor was very complete. It was light in weight and had a great improvement in defense.

The origin of the name of the bright light armor is related to the round guard on the chest and behind the chest. This round guard is made of metals such as copper and iron. In order to prevent the raw embroidery and polishing, it can illuminate human figures and wear bright light on the battlefield. Due to the sunlight, it will emit dazzling bright light.

The Mingguang Armor is not only made of complex locks, but also very expensive. Even in the Ming army, only high-level generals can wear it. Unexpectedly, there are two of these twenty sets of armor. Looking at the shiny armor on the chest, Ren Qi felt very satisfied and looked at Chen A Si squintly: "This time you brought back a God of Wealth, and you also picked one armor to replace it.

Chen Ashi was very happy: "Thank you, the leader."

Although the Yulin Army can build some weapons, the armor is a meticulous job. It is impossible for the masters without more than ten years of experience to build it. The only dozens of armors in the Yulin Army were still snatched from the armory after capturing the county town, and there was no replenishment in the future. The dozens of armors were just a pile of rags compared to the armor in front.

Chen Asi didn't dare to pick the same bright light armor as Ren Qi's body, but picked a thin scale armor. This thin scale armor was completely made of iron sheets, and its weight was twice as heavy as the bright light armor. However, its protection ability was even weaker than the bright light armor. Every step he took, the sound of the iron armor hitting was jingling, and naturally it had a sense of might.

The other bright light armor was of course left for Zhang Qi. Seeing the majestic appearance of the two wearing armor, the rest of the people who were qualified to wear armor were replaced one after another. The two leaders and the other eighteen big and small leaders put on armor together. This rebel army, which was originally ordinary and composed of poor peasants, actually looked like a regular army.

"Two leaders, how about it? What questions do you have about He's identity now?" He Chao asked with a smile, with a hint of contempt for the two of them. The thief is a thief. Twenty pieces of armor are so happy that such armor can no longer stop bullets, especially the generals wearing Mingguang armor, which will only become the target of the special forces of the Ming army. If wearing such armor is fighting with the Ming army, it is purely a death sentence.

"Mr. He, Caomin and others have offended him." Ren Qi was so lenient that he apologized sincerely this time.

"It's easy to say, those who don't know will not be guilty." He Chao waved his hand and asked, "I wonder what the two leaders have plans?"

With a hundred strong bows, two hundred big swords, and twenty armored armors, the strength of the Yulin Army suddenly increased a lot. Ren Qi and Zhang Qi took a look and discussed in a low voice. Zhang Qi asked He Chao: "I wonder if Lord He has any advice?"

"I dare not take the advice. I think that if your army has been trapped in the forest, these hundreds of miles of Yulin will be the shelter of your army and the natural cage of Yulin. If you want to break this cage, your army will have to attack."

"Please rest assured, Lord He, my Yulin Army is not afraid of death, and will not just take things without rewarding them. I will send someone out to find out the news immediately. If I find the weak point of the Tartars, the Yulin Army will attack immediately." Ren Qi patted his chest and said.

"Okay, I am waiting for good news from the two leaders."

A few days later, Ren Qi sent a spy to report that there were only hundreds of Qing troops defending Yuncheng. Ren Qi was very happy to hear that he selected a thousand strong soldiers, equipped with the best weapons, and led the team by Ren Qi himself. On the fifth day of the sixth month of the first year of Hongguang, he secretly sneaked out of Yulin and launched a raid on Yuncheng.

This time, the Qing army caught off guard. Yuncheng was captured by the Yulin army again. Yuncheng officials were executed by the Yulin army from all the county magistrates. The large families who surrendered to the Qing army in the city were also destroyed. When the Qing army brigade got the news and rushed to Yuncheng, Ren Qizao took his men out.

A few days after Ren Qi returned from victory, He Chao appeared again and soon found Chen Laosi. This time, Chen Laosi was very skillful to lead He Chao to the camp. Like last time, He Chao's purpose was to send them weapons. This time he brought more weapons to the Yulin Army, including one hundred bows, three hundred knives, thirty armors, and even one hundred muskets.

From then on, every time Ren Qi attacked, He Chao would appear every few days and sent a batch of weapons to the Yulin thieves. The amount of weapons was large and small. It was calculated entirely based on the results of Ren Qi and their attacks. When the results were large, the more weapons He Chao would send, and the results were small, and the amount of weapons he sent was very small.

Unconsciously, Ren Qi had to calculate how many results he could achieve every time he attacked, and how many weapons he could change from the Jinyiwei. Although the Yulin thieves did not surrender to the Ming court, in fact, through the input of weapons, the Ming Dynasty completely controlled the movement of the team.

After capturing Yuncheng, the bandits of Yulin successively captured Chaocheng and Guancheng. Every time they won, the bandits of Yulin would increase a lot. With the weapons sent by He Chao, the bandits of Yulin became stronger and stronger, making the Qing army exhausted. Whenever the Qing army wanted to enter Yulin to fight for the suppression, the endless traps and tunnels emerged inside to make all the generals in the army retreat.

By August of the first year of Hongguang, the Yulin thieves had re-developed more than 10,000 people, and were well-equipped, and they were not inferior to the Qing army. They were even much better than the former Ming generals who surrendered to the Tatars. The entire Yulin stretched out six or seven counties in two provinces, hundreds of miles across. In addition, a watery Liangshan was also connected to Yulin. The Qing army outside always had weaknesses. The Yulin thieves were elusive in various counties and harassed the Qing army. Some counties had even been captured by the Yulin thieves several times, which made the Qing officials all regarded this area as a fear of being an official, and no one was willing to go.

Shandong Governor Fang Dayou had no choice but to send officials by name. However, all the officials who were called were tried to shirk them out. They really couldn't escape halfway, but the magistrates of several nearby counties were actually vacant for a long time.
