If you dare to build such a castle-like house, you must not only have money, but also have people in the officialdom, otherwise it will be a disaster to build it.
The Tan family has not only produced Jinshi, but also Juren. Naturally, they belong to the category of rich and well-established people. Naturally, the government will not intervene in such a family of officials.
"It's a pity that such a good courtyard wall will be blown down with cannons soon. It will be a waste of money to repair it later." Xu Bingyu said, looking at the courtyard wall in front of him.
After hearing this, Ran Tiancun glanced at him sideways and said, "You are kind-hearted, but now you actually want to save money for the other party."
"Fart, am I doing it for the other party? I am doing it for our tiger-character flag." Xu Bingyu said, "When we take over this Tanjiazhai, this is where our tiger-character flag will be destroyed by the cannon." It’s our own thing.”
Ran Tiancun rolled his eyes.
It's so shameless to dislike the other person.
"Captain, the artillery team has entered the position and can fire at any time." A gunner from the artillery team ran to Xu Bingyu.
Xu Bingyu looked at the courtyard wall in front of him and clicked his tongue twice, then said: "Fire the cannon and blast away the courtyard wall in front of me."
"Yes!" The man from the artillery team turned and left.
At this time Ran Tiancun joked: "What? Now I don't feel bad about my courtyard wall anymore."
"It hurts, why don't you feel bad?" Xu Bingyu said, "But it doesn't matter. After we take down the entire village, the old men in Tanjiazhai will have to spend money to repair the broken courtyard wall. Even the earth outside that was collapsed by the bombardment will Let’s fix the wall together.”
boom! boom! boom!
The cannons on the artillery team began to shell the front wall.
The courtyard walls in the inner city of Tanjiazhai are all made of blue bricks. Although they are not as thick as the city walls, they are much harder than ordinary courtyard walls.
After several rounds, it didn't collapse, but only shattered the outermost layer of blue bricks.
However, when the Tiger Flag fired a cannon outside, it frightened the people inside.
"Lin Banner Officer, Lin Banner Officer, why haven't you fired back? I asked you to fire quickly." The housekeeper came to the Lin Banner Officer with fear.
At such a dangerous moment, the gentlemen of Tanjiazhai would naturally not come forward, and he, the butler, became a tool for uploading and distributing information.
Lin Qiguan, who was huddled behind the courtyard wall, said to him: "Don't worry, Butler Tan. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen to you. However, the thieves outside are fierce right now. When I find the right moment, I will fire." Fight back.”
"We can't wait any longer. We need to fight back immediately. The master is already unhappy." Naturally, the housekeeper would not listen to Lin Qiguan's words.
No matter how much attention Lin Qiguan was taken, in his eyes he was just a dog raised by the Tan family.
Now that the master wants to let the dogs bite people, he doesn't care whether Lin Qiu is willing to do it or not. It is his job as a butler to satisfy the master.
"No, you can't fire at this time. Butler Tan, please go back and talk to the master. If you fire at this time, you will only become the target of the thieves. Waiting for the thieves to finish firing later will be the best time to fire again." Lin Qiguan thought. Unwilling to fire.
He is not the kind of military household in the guardhouse who has never been on the battlefield and only knows how to farm.
When he accompanied the army to deal with the rebel rebels, he once killed a general with one shot. Although he was a self-proclaimed rebel, he was still a leader.
In the end, the credit fell to the one Qianhu above. He, the man who fired the cannon and killed the rebel general, got nothing.
It was also because he understood that there was no way out if he stayed in the army that he was willing to come to Tanjiazhai to be an instructor.
"Lin Qiguan, I am not discussing with you anymore, but I am telling you what the master said. If you don't do what the master said, and the master blames him, even if the thief is driven away, you may not be able to stay in the Tan family. Village." The steward said threateningly.
As a steward, his interests are always aligned with his master's.
Thinking of the days when he returned to the army and had no tomorrow, Lin Qiguan scratched his scalp helplessly and said: "Okay, I will arrange to fire back right now, but if something goes wrong, you can't blame me."
"No blame, no blame. As long as Lin Qiguan listens to the master's instructions, the master will not have time to take care of you in the future, so how can I blame you." A smile appeared on the steward's face.
In his opinion, only obedient people are qualified to stay in Tanjiazhai.
"What are you doing in such a daze? Why don't you hurry up and push the cannon up?" Lin Qiguan picked up the whip and whipped a villager next to him who was learning how to operate the cannon.
It seemed that he wanted to take out all the anger he aroused from the housekeeper on this villager.
"Lin Qiguan, hurry up and fire, I will report back to the master first." The steward said to Lin Qiguan, turned around and ran to the inner courtyard where the masters were.
He felt too insecure here, and it was safer where the gentlemen stayed.
Lin Qiguan ignored the steward's departure, but urged his men to work quickly.
"Are you so pretentious? You want to blow me up too, so don't pretend to be too pretentious." Lin Qiguan unceremoniously whipped his subordinates.
After seeing too many people who killed themselves because of too much medicine, Lin Qiguan would reduce the amount of medicine by one-third or half every time.
As for whether the power is enough, he doesn't care at all. His own safety is the most important thing.
Boom!
Just when Lin Qiguan was teaching the people around him to load the medicine, a courtyard wall not far from where he was collapsed, and a Tanjiazhai thug hiding underneath was killed on the spot.
"This is too damn fierce." Lin Qiguan looked at the collapse and trembled with fright.
If the shelling outside had hit where he was standing now, he might have been the person buried underneath.
Then he looked away, and he was about to see if his men had packed the medicine.
As soon as he looked over, he was immediately frightened.
The man he had scolded just now had fallen down. There was a cut on his neck, blood was pouring out, and the corners of his mouth were covered with blood foam.
"You're a fucking unlucky guy, you could die from this." Lin Qiguan guessed that the man's vital part should have been hit by the remains of the bricks that were shot away by the cannon.
To die in such a way on the battlefield can only be said to be bad luck, relatively unlucky.
It was okay that no one was killed before, but now that someone was killed, many young men guarding the inner city couldn't bear it anymore, and they dropped their weapons and stayed away from the courtyard wall.
They were all afraid that if artillery fire was fired outside, they would die here.
Once the courtyard wall collapses, everyone knows that it can no longer be defended. Those who remain are either fools or stupid masters.
Lin Qiguan only thought that he was neither a fool nor a fool, so he immediately left the cannon beside him, only took his waist knife and followed most of them away from the courtyard wall.
As for the Tanjiazhai masters who asked him to fire back, they would have been thrown out of the sky by him long ago.
Even the courtyard wall he relied on had been blown down by artillery. In his opinion, the rebels outside could come in at any time. Tanjiazhai could no longer be defended, and it was a question of whether the men in Tanjiazhai could survive.
What these people told him was nothing in his eyes.
