Don't panic when traveling through the late Ming Dynasty, just go to Liangjian and buy a machin

Chapter 200 The Miserable Jinyiwei

The people from the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard racked their brains.

Trying every possible means to get a gun.

However, Mao Wenlong's control over guns and artillery was extremely strict.

Whoever is equipped with a gun is responsible for protecting it.

Losing a gun is a serious crime punishable by beheading, and in serious cases, even the entire clan may be exterminated.

So no one dares to be careless.

Except when marching and fighting.

At ordinary times, guns should be kept together.

And only the main combat corps can be equipped with guns and artillery.

Even in the main combat corps.

Not all soldiers were equipped with guns and cannons; some soldiers still used cold weapons and gunpowder guns.

This is not to say that Mao Wenlong did not have enough guns.

The main thing is that most of the weapons and equipment are used to support the cave.

Anyway, for Mao Wenlong and others.

Now equipped with weapons and equipment.

It is enough to be invincible in the world at the end of Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, those who are equipped with guns and ammunition are relatively reliable elites.

And the secret agents of the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

Want to snatch weapons from these elites.

This is simply a fantasy for the Eastern Depot and the Embroidered Uniform Guard!

If they really had such great ability, they wouldn't be so worried.

But Emperor Chongzhen had already issued the death order.

The people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei had no choice but to desperately find a solution to the problem.

Even if I have no clue.

They also have to keep thinking of ways...

……

In the midst of busyness.

Time passed quickly, and it was already May 1630.

On this day, Mao Wenlong decided to go out of the city to inspect the spring farming production situation.

In order to better understand the people's sentiments, he chose to travel incognito.

The security guards were scattered around, deployed in various directions, silently guarding his safety.

This move gave the Jinyiwei a good opportunity.

Immediately organize personnel to prepare for action...

……

Wherever Mao Wenlong went.

There were not many people around him.

There are only a few dozen people in total.

But it was within several kilometers around Mao Wenlong.

But there were guards scattered everywhere.

These people were dressed in plain clothes, some disguised as farmers, some disguised as vendors, and some disguised as passers-by.

These are just the guards in secret.

In addition, there were groups of soldiers from the Royal Guards.

Patrol back and forth on all surrounding traffic roads.

The soldiers who appeared in the open had solemn expressions, holding weapons in their hands, and watching everything around them vigilantly.

The Jinyiwei lurking in this area.

He was a centurion named Li Daya.

Li Daya and his brothers.

He had previously disguised himself as a refugee and mingled around the capital.

Later, after Mao Wenlong and his men captured the capital, Li Daya and his men took advantage of the time to distribute land.

Settled in a nearby village.

Li Daya and his men work from sunrise to sunset.

On the surface, they look no different from ordinary people.

They originally planned to go into deep hiding.

I didn't expect to see such a big scene today.

Li Daya understood immediately: some important person must be traveling!

This should be their chance...

This great man must be of prominent status and respected position.

Otherwise, the security measures around us would not be so strict.

If the defense is too tight

It is not easy for ordinary people to approach it.

Fortunately, the Jinyiwei’s goal was only to seize guns.

It's not a head-on confrontation with the big shot.

After all, such a big shot must have extremely powerful security forces around him.

It was impossible for the Jinyiwei to get close.

It's better to just stick to guns.

Therefore, the Jinyiwei decided to look for an opportunity to strike from the periphery.

Only take action at the outermost part.

Whether they succeed or not, they will have the opportunity to evacuate.

Otherwise, you would be sending yourself to die in vain...

……

Mao Wenlong led his men walking on a country road.

Looking at the fields on both sides of the road.

The corn plants have grown to a foot tall.

And overall the growth is pretty good.

The farmers are busy weeding the fields.

When the farmers saw Mao Wenlong and his group, they had no time to pay attention to them.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

And around the cornfield, on the ridges or between the rocks.

Potatoes or pumpkins were also planted.

Make full use of all available space.

Increase food production as much as possible...

As Mao Wenlong and his companions walked, they saw a slope. The land on the slope was not very fertile.

The farmer planted potatoes or sweet potatoes.

Potato plants are not tall, and sweet potatoes are even more like vines lying on the ground.

This led to this slope.

The growth of weeds is particularly prominent.

Even better than potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Several men and women were busy weeding.

Various weeds whose roots had been dug out were carried out and piled on the ridge of the ground.

Mao Wenlong thought this was such a waste.

If so many weeds are used for composting, they should be able to produce a lot of farmyard manure.

Mao Wenlong suddenly slapped his head.

I think of the late Ming Dynasty.

The use of weeds and herbs such as wormwood to make compost is still a secret, if it has already been developed.

Those who have mastered this method will never pass it on to others.

Farming is all about relying on the weather.

There were no chemical fertilizers in this era.

If the method of using plant compost can be promoted.

This will also further increase food production.

Especially some relatively barren lands.

With the addition of farmyard manure, the yield will definitely increase significantly.

Mao Wenlong thought of this.

I was just about to ask someone to find the village chief or neighborhood chief here.

I plan to tell them the composting method and then let them experiment on their own.

As long as you see the real results.

Others will naturally follow suit.

But at this moment, gunshots were suddenly heard...

……

“Bang, bang, bang…”

"Da da da da..."

The gunshots occurred at a considerable distance.

Judging from the sound, it should be two or three kilometers away.

But then the gunshots rang out.

The guards following Mao Wenlong immediately surrounded him.

Mao Wenlong was protected in the middle.

He took out his gun and looked around vigilantly.

Guards scattered at a distance.

They also hurriedly moved towards Mao Wenlong as quickly as possible.

Seeing everyone so nervous.

Mao Wenlong said calmly: "Don't be so nervous, send someone to see what happened."

Mao Chenglu: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will send someone to check it out, but for Your Majesty's safety, please return to the city as soon as possible."

Mao Wenlong: "Don't be too anxious about returning to the city. Didn't you hear the gunfire has stopped? Let's take another route and inspect the way back to the city."

Mao Chenglu responded.

Send someone to check the situation immediately...

And where the gunfight took place.

I saw more than a dozen people lying on the road, and their blood was all over the ground.

Li Daya clenched his teeth tightly.

He was sweating profusely from the pain after being shot in both legs.

Li Daya said nothing!

It turned out that Li Daya and his group took advantage of the patrol team passing by the village.

Using the excuse of inviting the patrol to drink water.

Soldiers trying to get closer to the patrol.

Just give them the chance to get close to the patrol.

They will grab the guns at all costs.

Then he ran into a house and quickly left through the tunnel.

It turned out that the patrol team was not fooled at all.

He shouted at Li Daya and the others to leave.

After scolding was ineffective.

The patrolmen opened fire without hesitation.

So Li Daya and a dozen of his men.

All of them fell to the ground with gunshot wounds in their legs.

Li Daya looked at his brothers.

My heart is really filled with despair!

They, the Jinyiwei, have never been so miserable...
