Early in the morning, Zhang Xuebing walked out of the pink boudoir. When the people outside saw the Young Marshal with his hands on his hips, they covered their mouths and laughed.
It seemed that the concubine called Xiao Feng Xian had indeed taken someone. The young marshal only turned off the lights at midnight.
For a woman in this chaotic world, having a man to help her was simply the best thing in the world.
Zhang Xuebing would never kill the innocent. Every injustice had its perpetrator, and every debt had its perpetrator. Brigade Commander Ding had already been executed, and Zhang Xuebing had also arranged for his concubines to live with him.
The world thought that Zhang Xuebing was a good wife, but the world was wrong about him. Zhang Xuebing only gave them a place to live and did not end up on the streets.
This world.
It was better to be a dog in peace than a man in troubled times!
Zhang Xuebing thought about the firearms that were sent to him a few days ago and the military pay that would be paid two months later.
No wonder the old man had a million soldiers, yet he had to turn 650,000 of them into a militia, leaving only 350,000 elites.
The pressure on the military pay was too great. If they formed a militia, they would only pay a small amount of military pay, or even not pay at all.
Zhang Xuebing saw Zhang Qishan.
Zhang Xuebing waved his hand.
"Major, what other orders do you have?" Zhang Qishan asked respectfully.
Zhang Xuebing pointed at the large batch of firearms on the drill ground and smiled evilly."I didn't spend such a large sum of money to let these Tiegada eat dust here.”
"If it goes off, it's called a cannon. If it doesn't go off, it's called scrap metal.”
"Don't we have a batch of cannonballs that are older than me?”
"In Beiping City, many powerful families and gentry still have a lot of complaints about our Fengjun.”
"Let them hear it."
Zhang Qishan's eyes also lit up. Then, he smiled knowingly."Understood, Major! I'll do it now!"
Not long after, Zhang Qishan led his subordinates and knocked on the door of the aristocrats.
This time, many of the aristocrats of Beiping City, who were already uneasy, were shocked.
What kind of person was this Zhang Shao Shuai?
Why did he suddenly invite us to watch a show in his newly established military camp?
Was this a trap that was going to attack them?
They were shocked and afraid, but these powerful gentry did not dare to not come.
They had just killed Brigade Commander Ding yesterday and shared his wealth and concubines. They were afraid that they would follow in his footsteps.
Before long, the entire Beiping City became lively.
All sorts of carriages, such as eight carriages, nine carriages, and five or six cars from foreign countries, rushed towards the Young Marshal's Mansion.
Such a commotion naturally couldn't be hidden from Marshal Zhang.
In the marshal's manor.
With one hand on the table and a map of the Malan Valley in his eyes, Marshal Zhang asked,""Brother Lin, what do you think this little brat is thinking about?”
"Dancing around with the aristocrats of Beiping City.”
Yang Yuting stood behind Marshal Zhang and replied respectfully,""Young Marshal's methods are extraordinary and he is decisive.”
"They must be trying to use the firearms from America to intimidate these nobles.”
"Heh, this little brat has my style back then.”Marshal Zhang's face was smiling like a chrysanthemum. He was just short of writing the word 'pride' on his face.
"Now that you're promising, I can save some effort.”
Yang Yuting chuckled.
Commander Zhang waved his hand." He has his own ideas. The world is too chaotic. We can't guard him day and night."”
"A nestling that always nests under its armpit can't go against an eagle.”
"In this world, those old noobs are far more difficult to deal with than Old Eagle.”
"How about this, you take some people with you to support them. Unless it's absolutely necessary, leave it to Liu to do it himself.”
Yang Yuting nodded in understanding and then left quietly.
When he was the only one left in the mansion, Marshal Zhang laughed out loud,"Motherf * cker, this damn dwarf country wants me to be a traitor?”
"I have a gun and a cannon, and now I have a promising son! I'm not afraid of you motherf * ckers!"
At the same time,
The entire Beiping City became lively.
Boom!
A series of cannon roars spread across the entire Beiping City.
The news of the young marshal leading the aristocrats of Beiping to watch the fireworks quickly spread throughout Beiping.
Many people went nearby to watch the show.
Among them, there were naturally many spies from various warlords.
Zhang Xuebing did this on purpose.
After all, he had spent a lot of money to buy this batch of firearms. If he could not exchange one for ten, it would be a loss.
However, this time, it was hard on the Beiping aristocrats.
All of them stood on the drill ground with worried faces.
The deafening roar of cannons and the firing of machine guns were right in front of him.
Cold sweat broke out on the backs of many despots. They were afraid that they would become like the three commanders and become chickens that were killed to warn the monkeys!
Looking at the expressions of these nobles, as well as the many onlookers outside the military camp, Zhang Xuebing sneered.
The news that he had obtained such a powerful batch of firearms would soon reach the ears of the warlords outside.
These people would restrain their covetous thoughts of Beiping City under their fear.
…
? thunderous rumbles
On the outskirts of Beiping, the roar of the 75-Cannon was deafening.
Immediately after, nearly a hundred Tomsons fired at the target at the same time.
Even in the middle of the day, the scene of dozens of tongues of fire darting around was still terrifying.
On a hill in the suburbs, Zhang Xuebing was drinking tea in a simple pavilion.
Outside the pavilion, there were circles of Beiping nobles and former influential families.
No matter how hot the sun was, they still felt a chill down their spines.
They were afraid that this iron-blooded commander would punish them like the three commanders from before.
In this regard, Zhang Xuebing naturally couldn't bear to simply deal with these big-bellied guys.
After all these years, these local tycoons in Beiping were like vampires, sucking the blood of the people.
It was true that the work at Malan Valley was the source of income that he would rely on the most in the near future.
However, Zhang Xuebing believed that the wealth in the hands of these aristocrats in Beiping would not disappoint him.
"Mount Qi." Zhang Xuebing put down the teacup and called out in a low voice.
Zhang Qishan, who had been standing behind Zhang Xuebing, understood. He walked to his side and bowed respectfully,"Little Uncle, what can I do for you?"
"We didn't spend so much effort just for the warlords 'spies to see.”
Zhang Xuebing suddenly said this, and even Zhang Qishan couldn't react for a moment.
"Young Marshal, what do you mean?"
Zhang Xuebing smiled evilly and shook his head.""We set up such a big place, spent so much money, and showed these aristocrats such a wonderful fireworks show.”
"Do you think we should collect some interest from them?”
Hearing Zhang Xuebing's words, Zhang Qishan immediately understood.
"This subordinate understands! Just wait and see!"
The short exchange in the pavilion did not attract the attention of the group of aristocrats.
At this moment, they were all shocked by this batch of new firearms from America.
Let's first talk about the 75 cannon that was copied from France.
One had to know that the weapons used by many warlords were still old-fashioned cannons.
Forget about the old Divine Martial Great General or the Crouching Tiger Cannon.
Even now, the more advanced Krupp cannons were still connected to each other.
This would cause the cannons to be repelled after firing, causing the cannons at the main entrance to move.
Therefore, after every shot, they had to readjust Zhu Yuan and the position of the cannon.
This undoubtedly greatly reduced the firing frequency of the cannons.
However, the French Type 75 Rapid Cannon was fast because it was a retreating howitzer.
The recoil device was installed on the barrel. When firing, the barrel would offset all the recoil, so that the cannon would not move.
There was no need to move the cannon again. If it was the same target, Zhu Yuan did not even need to adjust it.
This undoubtedly increased the firing speed of the cannons.
Ding ding dang dang, these ten cannons could be used as the original hundred cannons.
Even the aristocrats of Beiping could not stand such advanced foreign things.
How could he not be surprised?
Other than these 75-Cannons.
What surprised the gentry was the Thompson submachine gun, which was also known as the Chicago printer.
At this moment, the warlords in the country were equipped with many cold weapons.
The main weapons of the soldiers were bolt-action rifles.
It was almost impossible to see any submachine guns. The only fully-automatic weapons were the heavy Maxim heavy machine guns or the older Gatling guns.
Of course, it was not the Gatling gun that emitted blue flames in the later era.
It was the first Gatling gun developed by the Colt Munitions Factory in 1883.
The barrel of this thing was a large metal cylinder. The gun head had more than ten empty holes. The gun barrel was hidden in the large metal cylinder, so it was not easy to dissipate heat. Not to mention, it did not last long.
The launch mechanism was not electric but manually operated.
The main disadvantage of these heavy machine guns was their weight.
It was normal for seven or eight people to go up and dance to serve a fight.
It was still fine in positional warfare, but in a chase and annihilation battle, the power of the heavy machine gun could not be unleashed at all.
Not to mention some narrow terrain. Such as street battles or thieves 'caves…A heavy machine gun was not as useful as a pistol.
However, Zhang Xuebing's strange firearms were not inferior to heavy machine guns in terms of firepower at medium and close range.
Looking at the soldiers who were carrying guns, it was not difficult to guess that the weight of these guns was not high.
A heavy machine gun that could be carried was of great significance in Beiping at this time.
"Oh my god, this... This, this Young Marshal is amazing. These advanced weapons are rare even for foreign countries, right?”
The big-bellied aristocrats began to discuss in low voices.
"That's right. I've also been to many foreign countries. Although they are indeed advanced, the weapons they use should be quite similar to ours.”
"These foreign things should have been produced recently!”
Yang Pingming, a rich man in the eastern suburbs of Beiping City, took over. This man had a lot of land in the suburbs of Beiping City.
However, the origin of most of these lands was unknown. Many of them were obtained by swindling or even robbing the people.
This land also allowed this guy to change from his original sturdy body to the image of a rich man with a fat belly and a round brain in more than ten years.
"Yo, rich man Yang is really knowledgeable! However, I have served the Emperor and Empress Dowager for so many years and have some knowledge.”
"Those foreign cannons are called the 75 Fast Cannons, made in France.”
"The price of one can buy a small garden in the suburbs of Beiping!”
These speaking ladies, or rather, people with dead duck voices, were really important figures in the previous dynasty's imperial palace.
When the Demon Empress was in power, this person was one of the famous eunuchs beside her.
Although he was not as powerful as Li Lianying, he was still a wealthy man.
Later on, the Demon Empress was overthrown and this person was forced out of the palace.
Although the Demon Empress wasn't around, this person's strength wasn't low, and he was still tyrannizing in Beiping City.
Furthermore, because of his disability, this person's hobbies were different from others. It could even be said that he was a pervert and had harmed countless innocent girls.
"Sigh! With Zhang Shao Shuai coming to Beiping City and so many excellent armaments, it should be peaceful! We can also live our lives in peace!”
"Hahaha! That's right!"
The group of aristocrats discussed animatedly.
But overall, everyone was relieved. After all, no matter how advanced Zhang Xuebing's weapons were, they were still protecting Beiping City, right?
However, what these gentry families did not know was that Zhang Xuebing only wanted to protect Beiping City and the people inside.
This did not include the wealthy families and their wallets.
It could even be said that their wallets were what Zhang Xuebing wanted today!
