After listening to Wu Lei's answer, Zhang Rui felt confident.
It's not that Zhang Rui doesn't want to start an uprising now, but that's all he has. After the battle, there was nothing left, so what else could he use to protect the people who followed him in Zhilian Mountain?
To say that time travel has some benefits, you can see things more clearly than people who are limited to this Times Square.
Although Zhang Rui is not a super academic, he does not know many tactics, and his military skills and battle formations may not be better than those of this era. But their extra hundreds of years of knowledge are something they cannot understand. Do they know what electric lights, trains, and airplanes are?
Even if they are just weak beings, the power of technology is definitely not something they can understand.
In order to give myself a little more time to develop. Zhang Rui tries his best to hide himself and not put himself at the forefront of the storm. He can delay it as long as he can.
If Zhang Rui wasn't really free, he would have prepared potassium chlorate to make a flash cap. Who uses a flintlock gun when there's a flash cap?
Anyone who really plays with muskets will know that it is not difficult to get. The ingredients are just the ingredients of matches.
"Everything is still a bit slow." Zhang Rui thought, and then said to Wu Lei: "Okay, sit down first!"
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Wu Lei also replied apologetically. After all, he felt that he could not help Zhang Rui.
Later, Zhang Rui continued to ask various questions about people's livelihood and the military. The topics discussed during this period made Zhang Rui feel like the emperor's morning dynasty on TV.
The end
"Everyone, what Chief Liu Musiu said is certain. The Tatar court is going to take action against us. Although I don't know how many people they will arrange to come this time, there will definitely be a lot of people. I just want to ask, do you dare to Face it with me?" Zhang Rui stood up from his seat and said
"I am willing to die for Sixth Brother."
As if they had rehearsed, everyone stood up from their seats and shouted to Zhang Ruishili.
"I, Zhang Rui, would like to thank you all." Zhang Rui bowed his hands to everyone and said in return.
………
two days later
Pavilion on the hillside of Zhilian Mountain
At this time, Zhang Rui was sitting on a stone bench in the pavilion reading letters.
"Sixth brother, Zhang Zhishan, the commander of the Zhongyong Battalion, wants to see you." At this time, Liu Shitou, who was promoted to the general banner of the personal soldiers by Zhang Rui, was speaking softly to Zhang Rui outside the pavilion.
"Well, I got it. I think he must have something to do with me right now. Let him come over!" Zhang Rui put down the letter in his hand and ordered Liu Shitou
"Yes, Sixth Brother." Liu Shitou, who received Zhang Rui's order, gave Zhang Rui a team salute and then turned around and left.
a moment later
Zhang Zhishan, wearing the uniform of an officer of the bandit suppression army, followed Liu Shitou.
The military uniforms of this anti-bandit team were drawn by scholars based on various records of Hanfu in books, then modified by clothing store owners, and finally made by Zhang Rui.
Gorgeous but not cumbersome, convenient but not simple are its characteristics.
Wearing the entire military uniform makes people feel energetic, wise and mighty. The bandit-suppressing soldiers who had removed their braids also grew their hair, which looked more pleasing to the eye than the braids.
It is said that the owners of ready-made clothing stores often wear this dress secretly, but the braids on the head affect the overall beauty. If they weren't afraid of being beheaded, they wouldn't have cut off their braids.
"Brother Six, today the Wuzhou garrison received an order to mobilize troops to encircle and suppress us." Zhang Zhishan came to Zhang Rui and said after the team salute.
Feng Jiubao felt that he was really trapped in a cocoon by several of his Qianzong bosses who had defected to Zhang Rui's name.
He couldn't figure it out, how could things develop like this?
Unfortunately, almost all of his green battalion soldiers have become Zhang Rui's bandit-suppressing army. What's the difference between him and the polished commander?
When receiving the order from above, Feng Jiubao was at a loss. How to adjust? Should we ask them to beat themselves? If they don't mobilize their own troops, where will they be able to bring them there?
Therefore, Feng Jiubao could only tell Zhang Zhishan and others the order, and went all the way to darkness.
"Yes, I understand. You are lucky. If you go back, thank Feng Shoubei for me." Zhang Rui replied to Zhang Zhishan:
"I just received this news unexpectedly. This time, Li Shiyao sent troops, a total of 30,000 troops."
"So many troops?" Zhang Zhishan was not surprised that Zhang Rui got the information, but he was surprised by the number of troops who came to encircle and suppress them.
"Yes, it can only be said that we have made the Tatar court feel uncomfortable. How about, there are more than 30,000 people, are you afraid?" Zhang Rui said helplessly
"Afraid? Brother Six is joking. If you might have been scared before, now you have the muskets given by Brother Six, and if you get another 30,000, it's just a matter of the brothers firing a few more shots."
Zhang Zhishan's aura of not taking these 30,000 troops seriously infected Liu Shitou who was standing aside.
Liu Shitou also wanted to say something according to Zhang Zhishan's words, but he opened his mouth slightly and held back.
At this time, Zhang Rui smiled and said to Zhang Zhishan: "You have a good attitude. Strategically, it is right to despise the opponent, but tactically, you must pay attention to the opponent. But don't be careless."
"Sixth brother taught you a lesson, I will definitely pay attention to it." Zhang Zhishan also replied with a smile.
At this moment, soldiers came to report.
It turned out that Wang Kaiyuan, whom Zhang Rui sent to find him not long ago, had arrived at this time.
After all parties bowed and greeted each other, Wang Kaiyuan asked Zhang Rui: "I wonder what Brother Six wants from me?"
"Read this letter first." Zhang Rui said and handed the letter he just read to Wang Kaiyuan.
Wang Kaiyuan took a look at the letter and found that there wasn't much written in it. So Wang Kaiyuan just glanced at it casually and finished reading.
"How trustworthy is this person?" Wang Kaiyuan handed the read letter back to Zhang Rui and asked.
Zhang Rui took the letter, put it in his arms and said, "Judging from the current situation, it is still very credible. Battalion Commander Zhang and the others also received orders to come and encircle us."
"Thirty thousand soldiers is indeed a lot. It seems that they are also preparing for a quick victory. After all, the New Year is coming soon. It would be great if we knew their marching route." Wang Kaiyuan said with a headache.
"Are you thinking of defeating them one by one?" Zhang Rui asked after hearing Wang Kaiyuan's words.
"Sixth brother is wise. But you don't need to defeat them all. You only need to defeat the strongest of them, the soldiers from Guangzhou. The others don't dare to act rashly, and they can be dealt with slowly when the time comes." Wang Kaiyuan said
"The idea is good, but where can this marching route be obtained so easily?" Zhang Rui also said disappointedly.
"March route?" Zhang Zhishan asked after hearing what Zhang Rui and Wang Kaiyuan said.
"Yes, is there a way?" Zhang Rui asked
"It seems that the superiors probably said this when they gave the order to Feng Shoubei." Zhang Zhishan replied
