Chapter 96
When he returned to Dongerfang with his knife, Cao Dacai also sent eleven newly purchased horses from Mule and Horse Market, and also purchased five sets of second-hand saddles. Another 200 taels of silver notes was spent. The original plan to buy a knife became a match, and Qin Bai still had 300 taels of silver notes left.
In any case, there are horses and swords now. In terms of the equipment of the gangs of the world, this should be considered a top-level configuration. It is not possible to equip bows, arrows, armor, firearms, etc. for the time being. Those are the weapons strictly controlled by the government. If touched, it is easy to obtain the crime of rebellion.
In the Jiajing period, when the Japanese were in chaos along the coast, the Japanese swords were extremely lethal, and the Japanese pirates were sharp in swords, which could not be resisted by ordinary weapons. Even the reputation continued to the modern era. It can be seen that this is the best sword that Qin Bai could equip at this stage.
By the way, the Miao sword used by Qin Bai now is the same. The appearance of the Japanese sword attracted the attention of the Qi family army, and it can cooperate with other weapons to fight with the northern Mongolian cavalry. As for the name of the Miao sword, it actually has nothing to do with the Miao people, and it describes its appearance as "Germiao". The Miao sword is slightly bent, which is longer than the Japanese sword and can better combine with the Chinese physique.
Of course, the reason why Miao knives were not popularized on a large scale was mainly because they were relatively expensive. Even in places of origin like Jingjiazhuang, the price was more than 30 taels. It was several times more expensive than imported Japanese knives (because it is the Warring States Period of Japan, the price of Japanese knives was relatively high. Later, during the Shogunate period, the market price of imported or tribute to China was seven or eight taels).
Therefore, the Miao sword can only be equipped in a strong army like the Qi family army or the Imperial Guards like the Yulin Guards. Let me introduce it again. The embroidered spring swords of the Jinyiwei are usually around five taels. This is more than twice as expensive as the ordinary swords in the Ming army.
No matter what era, the price of arms has always been relatively high. Even the weapons customized by military generals have a high custom price. But you get what you pay for. After getting the twenty Japanese knives, Xiao Hongling's overall strength suddenly increased by one level.
...
The next day, Feng Sihai summoned Qin Bai again. The two of them didn't talk for a long time, but they ended up having a bad time...
Then, rumors began to spread in Jingjiazhuang, all of which were said that Qin Bai had evil with Feng Sihai. The women and children of Dong Erfang were all retreated to the village of Xiaohongling, and fifty subordinates also came to the village at the same time...
Then, the Wang family joined forces with several Zhou family members to the He Mansion to ask for an explanation, but failed to succeed...
Then, news came from the He Mansion that everything about Xiaohongling had nothing to do with the He Mansion. The He Mansion would never interfere in the grudges...
In just a few days, Jingjiazhuang has become stormy...
...
At the gate of Mengxianju, Tie Sheng was chatting with Qin Bai who was smoking: "Bai Er, I will give you a message this time. Grandma San said that you will be obedient in half a month, and then kowtow to the He Mansion to admit your mistakes, and you will also give you a chance. In the past half month, you can help you suppress the yamen. After this time, the county magistrate really got angry. What do you think will you end up?"
Qin Bai smiled and said, "Haha, don't care about her."
"I really don't think about it anymore?"
"What do you want to think about? Otherwise, can I keep fighting so much if I am sick? Why not give it to someone earlier?"
"Haha. I think you are sick. Don't you know that you have lost the He Mansion and our Zhenwei now. How many people in Jingjiazhuang have thought about you?"
"hehe."
"Okay! If you want to die, then it's up to you. Anyway, my people are left behind from today. Don't be too careful, you will help you protect this Mengxianju. But Bai Er, I really admire you for this matter. Although we all want to be famous, there are not many who can really achieve the word "loyality."
"Actually, I don't want to do it either? That day I told Master Feng that I am willing to pay the money for the yamen and even the Wang family's compensation. But why do you have to trade life for your life?"
Tiesheng smiled: "Some things cannot be solved by money. They want to defeat you first. But don't worry, my master has also explained that this time, I will let those people teach you a lesson and be careful not to know the world in the future. As long as you are willing to bow your head, you will still protect you."
"Haha, after all, isn't it just a fight first? Then fight!"
"Hahaha, I like this. Domineering! Just ask you, are you Bai Er three heads and six arms? Want to fight with so many people?"
"Who knows the winner or loser after never fighting?"
"Haha, I won't compete with you. I can't tell you. I hope you can win! Haha."
...
The shop assistant at Wangji Dim Sum Shop in the village found that in the past few days, there were more frequent customers. He came to buy fried candies every afternoon. Although he didn't buy much each time, he liked to finish it in the seat at the door of the store, and he had a long time to eat it.
On this day, the customer came over and bought a few taels. As soon as he sat down with his companions, the shopkeeper personally delivered two cups of tea and asked curiously: "Dear guest, are you satisfied with the fried candy in the shop?"
"Oh, I really like to eat." The guest answered absent-mindedly, looking out the door. The shopkeeper left tactfully and stopped disturbing the guest.
The ones who come here every day are brittle. And on the corner opposite the dim sum shop, his mother lives. For some reason, he just couldn't help but want to come here to see it. He didn't expect that the mother and son would reunite, but just look like that... from a distance.
Now what Brain is watching is the little girl. She is playing some children's games with a few neighbors. Brain smiles at the corner of her mouth and silently looks at her laughing and making noise. Then her pupils shrink slightly, and she finds that her mother goes out and calls the little girl to go home.
Holding the little girl's hand, the mother and daughter entered the house. After waiting for a while, they saw that there was no movement at the door, Jima gave all the remaining fried candy to their younger brother, and then told the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, pack a few more fried cakes and I'll take them back."
"Good!"
Holding the fried cake, Jimao and his younger brother went out to the snack shop. But as soon as he was about to return to Dongerfang, he suddenly heard beatings and scoldings coming from behind. He turned his head and realized that the beatings and scoldings should have been from his mother's house.
