The man was anxious and said quickly:
"The younger one is a craftsman from Santun camp. He can repair and make bird cannons, Lumi cannons, and lift guns. He can also repair and cast tiger crouching cannons and flange machine guns. By the way, the younger one can also fire blunderbuss and fire cannons. "
Huang Yi from Santun camp knew about it. It seemed to be the headquarters of Ji Town's general army. It was not unusual for the craftsmen there to be able to cast cannons and make matchlock guns.
As for being able to fire a gun and fire a cannon, I should have learned it during the fire test.
When Qi Jiguang was stationed at Ji Town, the quality of the firearms made by Santunying craftsmen was probably among the best in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The reason why Huang Yi decided to destroy the post-Jin army was not just for the heads and the gold and silver treasures, grain, and livestock transported.
The bigger reason is to rescue the Han people who were taken captive.
Of course the purpose of saving those Han people was for my use!
Even if the Han man knew nothing, Huang Yi had to take him in. If he didn't, the man would freeze to death or starve to death within three to five days.
Unexpectedly, this person turned out to be a craftsman who made firearms in Ji Town, so he got a big deal.
Huang Yi said calmly: "Oh? That's really the case, I should take you in. By the way, what's your name and how old are you?"
"The younger one's name is Liu Han, Wen Dao Liu, Han from the Han people. He is twenty-two years old!"
"Are you still literate?"
"I recognize it, but not too much."
"Did you run out while we were attacking and killing the slaves?"
"Well! My father was shot to death by the damn Jiannu. I can't even bury him..." Liu Han choked and couldn't speak for a while.
During the cold winter when the ground was three feet deep, it was not easy to dig holes in the ground.
Without the tools at hand, this job would be impossible.
Huang Yi's engineer shovel can be converted into a hoe and pickaxe, but he doesn't want to lend it to Liu Han to dig holes.
It's too time-consuming and laborious. Now is a state of war. Everything can only be done for the living people. Every second counts. How can we waste time?
So he changed the subject and said: "I'm afraid there are many people you are familiar with among the Han people captured by the slaves, right?"
"There are more than a hundred craftsmen in Santunying, and most of them are relatives or neighbors!"
Huang Yi's original plan was to rescue those Han people. According to what Liu Han said, Jian Nu could not be allowed to take those Han people back to Liaodong.
Because I don’t know how many of those craftsmen can cast cannons and make firearms. How can we let them help others do evil?
Huang Yi pointed at Liu Han and said to Huang Dazhi: "Get him a pair of cotton armor and put it on, and give him a sword. Let him help manage the war horses these days!"
Liu Han asked: "Your Excellency, are you still planning to attack and kill Jiannu?"
"We have this plan!"
Liu Han looked behind Huang Yi and said, "Sir, there should be more than this, right?"
"There are only so many of us, all here!"
"Ah? Your Excellency, with just this, you dare to attack so many slaves?"
"Why don't you dare? We have already done our job and killed at least a dozen slaves. We didn't have any casualties. We also let many Han people seize the opportunity to run away. Why not?"
"Sir, if you are young, don't worry about the horse. If you are young, you must follow the master and kill the slaves!"
"You? I'm afraid not."
"Young ones who have the strength dare to fight hard!"
"Having the courage and spirit to fight is commendable, but without fighting skills it is almost like going to die. I will never let my subordinates sacrifice needlessly."
"I understand, little one!"
"If you help control the horses, we can have one more soldier to participate in killing the enemy. It's almost like you are participating."
"I obey, little one!"
Huang Yi didn't know that because he raided the group of slaves returning home, Liu Han and his son and one or two hundred Han people escaped, so that Liu Han and his son did not become traitors.
It is said that the cannon used to support the generals who built slaves in history was cast by the traitor craftsmen Liu Han and his son.
Now that Liu Han's father was shot dead by a slave, Liu Han turned to Huang Yi and gritted his teeth to avenge his father. There was almost no chance of him becoming a traitor again.
Everyone continued to move forward, and soon they found seven or eight more corpses.
Huang Yi looked at Geng Zhanghua and said, "Mr. Geng, go and see if anyone is still alive!"
Seeing Huang Yi arranging things for his young master, Geng Qi immediately volunteered and said, "Sir, I'll go take a look!"
"You don't need to go, your young master has to go!"
Geng Qi wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by Geng Da. Geng Dao said: "Your Majesty, you have your own intentions. Let's obey the order."
Geng Zhanghua was speechless, and immediately jumped off his horse to look at the Han people massacred by the Jiannu, with a look of grief and indignation on his face.
After checking one by one, he came to stand in front of Huang Yi and said, "Sir, they are all dead!"
"How do you feel at this time?"
"I want to kill people, I want to fight and let Jian Nu pay for his debt with blood!"
"Are your hands still shaking?"
Geng Zhanghua's face turned red with embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I know you did this to help me overcome the fear of killing someone for the first time!
Don't worry, my hands will never shake again. "
"You are actually good at martial arts. As long as you use it well, Jiannu is no match for you."
"clear!"
At this moment, Huang Dayong, who was on guard outside, shouted: "Who is it? Come out quickly, or we will release arrows."
"No, please don't, we are all escaped Han Chinese!"
"Don't be afraid, raise your hands above your head for me to see, and come out slowly."
Huang Yi heard the noise and rode forward. He immediately saw eight young and middle-aged Han people walking out of the woods with their hands raised.
"Liu Han, come here and take a look. Do you know these people?"
Huang Yi had seen Liu Han with a telescope and could prove that he was not a spy, so he asked him to identify him.
Of course it was impossible for Liu Han to recognize all the two or three thousand Han people, but among these eight people there were two familiar faces who could not be named.
Huang Yi then asked these two familiar faces to continue screening the remaining six people.
Facts have proved that the incident happened suddenly, and it was impossible for the Hou Jin Army to be so miraculous as to arrange spies to sneak into the fleeing Han people in advance. It was certain that these eight people were not traitors.
Huang Yi decided to arm these eight people on the spot and let them choose the captured weapons and distribute the remaining four pieces of cotton armor and leather armor.
Unexpectedly, there were actually two Ming army infantrymen captured by Jiannu from Santun Camp.
Chang Yongshan is a gunslinger and has a year's experience as a sword and shield hand. Kang Jing is a spearman and is good at throwing spears.
There is nothing to say. The only two pairs of leather armors left were to equip them, three throwing spears for Kang Jing, and a leather shield and broadsword for Chang Yongshan.
Don't worry they will still be weak.
It seems that they had had enough of being slaves during this period and were willing to fight to the death. Otherwise, how could they take the risk of escaping into the mountains?
Liu Han, Chang Yongshan and other nine Han people were very strong. This can be seen from the fact that during this period, they were forced to carry dozens of kilograms of grain on their backs by the slaves every day.
These people all saw how Huang Yi's men killed the slaves. They followed Mr. Huang, and everyone had weapons in hand. They suddenly felt that they had a backbone.
When they learned that Huang Yi was planning to raid the Hou Jin Army, they not only did not object, but also actively requested to participate in the raid.
