Because Zhao Ziri felt that after experiencing the low ebb in his life, he seemed to be bellowed by the luck of the soul. At least after he was captured by the official army, he forcibly killed Paoze for apostasy. Later, when he was forced to attack the Taiping army's base by sword and gun coercion, he was more mindful than others and luckily escaped by pretending to be dead after being injured.
Afterwards, the officers and soldiers were also badly injured and in chaos, and no one went to see how many survivors were left in the dead pile on the battlefield. As a result, although his injuries were not fatal, he was suffocated in the corpse alive and almost died. When he woke up, he was picked up by Meng Kai's handyman who cleaned the battlefield.
Then, in the temporary camp for centralized supervision and screening, I met a nodding acquaintance who had drunk flower wine together in Pingkang, and then settled down on the origins of Zhumen Fangchengying and got a place to stay, although because of injuries He was repeatedly restless, but also escaped most of the battles that broke out afterwards. .
In the end, because he was among the wounded and sick soldiers who were unwilling to follow the Taiping Army for various reasons; therefore, he was regarded as a model who remained loyal to the new dynasty, and was promoted in the newly organized army. Promotion. That's right, it's the promotion of officials. In addition to his original rank, he was promoted to the rank of captain, and at the same time he had to be awarded the title of a nobleman.
Although his subordinates are also in charge of the number one hundred and ten, most of them are newcomers from outside the city. But the titles of Zhao Duwei and Zhao Fengnan are much more comfortable than the original Zhao Teamzheng and Zhao Touer! The only thing that made him slightly dissatisfied was the obvious depression and decline of Chang'an after the war, so that many things that made him useful no longer exist.
For example, in the Pingkang Li Sanqu, most of the ladies who are gentle, charming and artistic, and famous for organizing banquets and social interactions, are now mostly gone, and only a few crooked melons and jujubes who win by quantity or who are stubbornly full of numbers are left. ; And those merchants and stores who flatter and make friends in the two major cities of the east and the west are also very empty.
So much so that he wanted to eat a sesame cake and take a sip of glutinous rice, but he couldn't find a place near his new home, and he had to cross several streets and run to another place in the distance to buy it. If only this is the case, he, as the lieutenant of the Xuncheng Camp of the New Dynasty of Daqi, could not treat himself badly in terms of clothing and food.
But another thing is unbearable. It should be known that Zhao Ziri reoccupied a house closer to the imperial city after the incident, and once again raised more than a dozen servants in accordance with the status of the others. However, it didn't last long before these upstarts suddenly discovered that the area they lived in soon became littered and sewage overflowed.
Then a heavy autumn rain caused those ditches to swell, and a lot of filth poured back into their house. This time, these "nobles of the imperial court" are really unbearable uncles and aunts. It was only when they led people to flee their homes in embarrassment, and they couldn't wait to investigate the situation and relationship afterwards, only to find that things were much worse than expected.
Because, with the departure of a large number of poor households in the shanty towns in the south of the city, there are not many people in the huge city of Chang'an that can be used to clean up these domestic wastes and filth. And to make matters worse, even Wuhou, who was used to prevent fire and theft in the two counties of Jingzhaofu and Chang'an Wannian, and his patrolmen, water travellers, and guards, had already escaped and disappeared.
Therefore, they can't even find the person who should be responsible to deal with these trivial chores that usually seem insignificant, but are coming to make people sleepless and sleepy. Therefore, under the unanimous request and response of many nobles in the new dynasty, the soldiers newly organized into several patrol camps had to take up the chores of carrying water, carrying filth, and cleaning up the dirt before they began to practice swords, bows and guns. .
However, things are much more than that. Because there are fewer and fewer shops, restaurants and tea shops in the city, and the need to run errands to buy things is getting farther and farther, the prices of all kinds of things are getting higher and higher. Then, Jingzhao Mansion naturally responded to the fierce public sentiment, and began to investigate and strictly deal with these illegal merchants who “hoarded” and “disrupted the market”.
As a result, after checking and checking, the prices on the market are getting higher and higher, and there are fewer and fewer shops and shops that can open and sell. Even when looking at the big city of Chang'an later, even if you have enough money in your hands, you can't buy all kinds of sensual dogs and horses, and even the luxury of the past.
Among them, there were several incidents where soldiers took the lead in robbing and smashing shops. However, afterwards, Jingzhao Mansion was a leader who was unable to account for the public and only captured a few nearby people who had not had time to run away. Thought to confess. In this case, it actually caused the night ghost market among the ruins of the south of the city to become popular.
however. Many new dynasty soldiers responded strongly to the problem that has not yet been resolved, and once gathered a crowd to stand in front of the Suzaku's gate to detain the situation; it was disturbed by the emperor of Qi to come out to appease himself. Then he was promoted on the spot and called a group of ministers, and ordered the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, and the Salt and Iron Transfer Department to form a corresponding military depot; a batch of rice cloth, oil, salt and other daily objects were allocated for use, and allocated to the generals and officials according to the head quota. Home.
As a result, the trend in the market has temporarily calmed down, but the livelihoods of the remaining people in the city have become more difficult; but it has further promoted the prosperity of the ghost market in the south of the city. Jingzhao's Mansion and Xunchengying had also been captured several times, which can be said to have returned with a full load. But at the same time, the items for sale that appeared in ghost markets elsewhere have become more abundant.
It can be said that even a newly promoted general like Zhao Ziri, although he has a lot more money after getting his hands than in the past, he will inevitably feel that his life is difficult and constrained. So they will inevitably look forward to and miss the opportunity to go to war again. As long as war starts, the new dynasty will allocate funds for resettlement and opening up. During the war, there will be additional rewards and gains from local looting and looting.
Therefore, he was quite concerned about this opportunity to participate in firearms training. Because he specially spent money to inquire about the news, he said that the king was very interested and concerned about it; he intended to set up a firearm-operating saint in addition to the former Gongchen and Sanitation Army. Su Wei three armies. That is a greater prospect and future than in this city tour camp.
However, as the so-called unfulfilled people's wishes, these people who were ordered to be sent out to practice firearms suffered frequent accidents after all kinds of three-eyed guns were used. There are people who make mistakes in their hands and feet or panic, or make mistakes in the steps and sequence, and hurt themselves and others. Some people actually ignite the gunpowder they carry, and they panic on the spot and run around and burn. Become a piece.
Even Zhao Ziri himself could hardly avoid making mistakes in the upheaval. It was so easy for him to install a medicine in the three-eyed guns according to those procedures, but he was shocked by the sound of one after another, and he forgot the last step of pressing the medicine; then he shook so hard, in an instant In 1 year, he flung the powder and the marbles together, and all hit the back of the licensed pawn in front of him.
And on the wall of Ouchi Xuanwu Gate, Huang Chao, who was watching this scene, was also sinking like water. And Lin Yan, the military ambassador of the military department Zuo Shilang who was accompanied by his side, also sweated and dumbfounded his defense:
"Holy, holy, it shouldn't be like this... when I was doing it, I was still alive and well, how come I became like this when we first joined forces..."
Upon hearing this, Huang Chao expressed relief to him instead:
"But it’s okay. After all, it’s a new item, and it may take some time before you can become proficient; just don’t make mistakes before the battle, then it’s not beautiful... By the way, Ah Yan, you said they are already How many days did you perform and how many times did you let go?"
"I have been doing it for more than a full month beforehand, and I have played guns a hundred or eighty times..."
Lin Yan hurriedly responded:
"It doesn't seem to be enough... Don't begrudge the sub-medicine, first train the first batch of people who can use it together!"
Then, Huang Chao turned his head and turned to the other newly supported leader of the front squad, the deputy envoy of the arch guard, Huang Shidao:
"Thank you, you can help Ah Yan with this line of action!"
—I am the dividing line —
And in Xiwaiyuan outside Luoyang City, someone stood in front of a similar array of firearms and vowed to speak:
"My surname is Su. I am called Lucky Su La! I don't have any other skills. That's a little bit of experience that can always survive the battle. If you can work with me, you are all blessed. Of the person."
"Know that this firearm is a creation of great supernatural powers. If you want to be far away, you must be near and near; wherever you can hit it. As long as you take a little incense, the armor is unstoppable and sharp. So you must practice harder. , In order to live up to the big money after staying to build the hope!"
And upstairs in the city gate, Laosan Zhu also looked at these with a smile on his face, the hard-covered soldier with a bird or three-eyed gun in his waist, and praised to the left and right:
"Are these boys' looks and outfits pretty good."
"This is all the painstaking care and good nurturing after staying..."
However, Zhu Zhen did not hesitate to compliment: After all, he is full of food all day long and just smashes his muscles and bones, just to select these athletes with long arms and good eyesight; and then to arm them with firearms and ensure that they are well trained. Once needed, it is expensive.
"So, you have to entertain those who come over! Only then can you live up to my wishes!"
Lao San Zhu sighed at once: After all, after seeing the power of those firearms with his own eyes, what is the fluke for people who have a little idea? (End of this chapter)
