Within three days, news of Yang Zhengqing's murder had spread.
At the same time, news spread that Wu Qigong was about to fight.
Countless generals ridiculed Wu Qigong for not overestimating his own capabilities, and also scolded Li Zhen for seeking death. But Li Zhen didn't care, and prepared wholeheartedly to fight against the Taiping Army. This was the first time he had presided over a battle after time travel, so he had to fight neatly and beautifully, and
Never fail. As the saying goes, if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Li Zhen sent hundreds of spies deep into Yangzhou to find out what was going on.
Next, Li Zhen began to train the soldiers under Wu Qigong.
The soldiers under Wu Qigong were lazy and far from being able to follow orders and prohibitions. In a short period of time, it was almost impossible for Li Zhen to achieve results in training, and it was impossible to pin his hopes on these soldiers.
Therefore, Li Zhen shifted his focus to firearms.
Li Zhen asked Wu Qigong for more muskets, but learned that Qi Shan had a better gun, so he asked Qi Shan for another one.
The Qishan guards use rifled guns, which are more advanced.
The bullets fired from the rifled gun rotate when they are fired, with high accuracy, long range and greater power. Although the rifled gun cannot meet Li Zhen's requirements, the current technology is not enough, so he can only make do with it. After Li Zhen got the gun
, the rifled gun was roughly modified and a new sight was installed to facilitate long-distance shooting.
In the school field, Li Zhen was preparing to test the gun.
He held up a crude sniper rifle and ordered: "Prepare a target of a hundred steps!"
At the moment, the soldier held an archery target and placed it a hundred steps away. One hundred steps is about 80 meters. This distance is not far, but it is suitable for Li Zhen to test the sniper rifle in his hand. Li Zhen waved his hand to the soldier to get out of the way, and held it up with his left hand
With the sniper rifle, the butt was leaning against the armpit, the right hand held the trigger, the eye was close to the eyepiece, and the target was aimed at the target a hundred steps away.
"boom!!"
Pull the trigger and a muffled sound comes out.
Li Zhen rubbed his sore shoulders. The recoil of this rifled gun was a bit strong and needed to be improved. But at present, Li Zhen did not have the skills and conditions. He strode towards the target and looked at the target that hit the red heart.
But it was still a little off. Li Zhen adjusted directly next to the school field and began to correct the scope.
In this way, Li Zhen could hit from one hundred steps, two hundred steps, and finally to two hundred and fifty steps.
Two hundred and fifty steps, almost 200 meters.
Beyond 200 meters, the scope cannot keep up, and neither the bullet nor the barrel of the gun can keep up, causing the bullet fired to be inaccurate. Therefore, Li Zhen's current distance is 200 meters.
"Mr. Qian, General Wu invites you to go."
"knew!"
Li Zhen carried a sniper rifle and headed towards Wu Qigong's camp. Li Zhen came to Wu Qigong's camp and asked: "General, do you have anything to do with the general?"
Wu Qigong sighed: "Li Zhen, He Ming has set a trap for us."
"Who is He Ming?" Li Zhen asked.
Wu Qigong said: "He Ming is also a general in the army. He and I have some grudges with each other."
Li Zhen then asked: "General, what exactly happened?"
Wu Qigong looked helpless and sighed: "I just got the news that Lord Qishan is going to send you 1,200 soldiers to help us fight against the bandits."
Li Zhen smiled and said: "General, this is a good thing!"
Wu Qigong said loudly: "What a fart, let me tell you, that's the problem. You used to be a centurion with a humble official position and didn't understand the situation in the military camp. In the Jiangbei camp, there was a battalion of extremely fierce soldiers.
The soldiers in the army are all brave, fierce, and difficult to control. The 1,200 men given to you are exactly those unruly soldiers."
At this point, the flesh on Wu Qigong's face trembled, and he continued: "The general of this battalion is a Qian Commander, named Huang Shihai. Although Huang Shihai is only a Qian Commander, he is rebellious and refuses to obey anyone.
Even Lord Qishan can't change Huang Shihai, so throwing Huang Shihai to you is throwing a hot potato, and it might get you burned."
Li Zhen's heart moved, and he thought of the 'him' that Qi Shan and Wu Qigong talked about. Could it be that Huang Shihai was the person they were talking to. Li Zhen asked: "General, is Huang Shihai the person you are talking about to your Excellency?"
Wu Qigong nodded and said, "It's Huang Shihai."
Li Zhen said: "General, although it is a disaster, it is not a blessing!"
Li Zhen understood that it was He Ming who persuaded Qi Shan and deliberately used Huang Shihai to deal with him and took the opportunity to deal with Wu Qigong. But Li Zhen felt happy because Li Zhen urgently needed to build his own team.
Seeing that Li Zhen was very optimistic, Wu Qigong said in a deep voice: "Many generals in the army wanted to conquer Huang Shihai, and they tried hard, but in the end they were disgraced. He Ming also went there. At that time, He Ming vowed to conquer Huang Shihai in front of the adults.
, but in the end he was tortured to death by Huang Shihai."
Li Zhen asked: "Since Huang Shihai refuses to obey the rules, why is he still here?"
Wu Qigong whispered: "There is a disobedient Huang Shihai in the Jiangbei camp. He is like a thorn stuck in his throat. The adults must be uncomfortable. But they dare not remove Huang Shihai because there are still bandits watching. If it is Huang Shihai
After being withdrawn, the army has no backbone, and you can’t even sleep peacefully.”
Li Zhen nodded, understanding Huang Shihai's situation.
Qi Shan didn't like Huang Shihai, but he needed Huang Shihai to maintain the situation, so he could only hide Huang Shihai. Once there was a crisis in the Jiangbei camp, Huang Shihai would be allowed to fight.
As long as there is nothing particularly dangerous, Huang Shihai can only guard the camp.
After listening to this, Li Zhen became even more excited.
If he wants to gain a foothold in the military camp, he needs a group of confidants.
Huang Shihai was unruly and unruly, an alternative to the Jiangbei camp. Even Qishan could not control him, and he was obviously isolated in the army. If Li Zhenruo conquered Huang Shihai, he would definitely be his confidant.
Chance!
This is his chance!
Li Zhen was excited, but he said calmly: "General, you lead the army to fight against the bandits. The other generals are waiting for you to defeat the battle. Especially He Ming. Now He Ming takes the initiative to push Huang Shihai over.
, is the opportunity for the general. As long as he obtains the support of Huang Shihai and has a group of soldiers who are good at fighting, the general will become the backbone of the Jiangbei camp. Even if He Ming and the other generals want to attack the general, they will not be able to succeed."
Wu Qigong showed a look of excitement, but said: "Although I say so, it's not easy to handle!"
Li Zhen said: "General, let everything be handled by humble officials."
Wu Qigong took a deep breath and said: "Okay, just go ahead and do it. As long as I serve in the army, you will not be affected." Wu Qigong stared at Li Zhen, feeling that the person in front of him was not a pawn, but a pawn.
People with big ambitions.
Li Zhen said with great excitement: "General, don't worry, I will not disappoint you in my humble position."
"Hehe... you are so not disappointed!"
The curtain of the camp tent was lifted again, and a person walked in from outside the tent. Li Zhen looked up and found that the person who came was He Ming. He Ming strode in with a faint smile on his face and sneered: "Master Qishan gave the order,
Order Li Zhen to take over the first battalion of soldiers under Huang Shihai's command. Li Zhen, my lord has high expectations for you, don't let me down."
He Ming stared at Wu Qigong with a smile, showing an expression of gloating.
This is what happens when you go against him.
Li Zhen couldn't stand He Ming's proud and arrogant demeanor, and said in a deep voice: "General He, please tell me that Li Zhen will not disappoint your expectations and will complete the tasks assigned by you."
After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "I heard that General He once wanted to capture Huang Shihai, but unfortunately he failed miserably. Humph, not everyone walks in as arrogantly as General He and then runs out in despair. I
Li Zhen will definitely live up to your expectations when he takes action, and he will definitely suppress Huang Shihai and train a group of soldiers who will obey the command."
"Wu Qigong, let's wait and see."
He Ming's eyes flashed with resentment, and he turned and left.
Wu Qigong looked at He Ming's leaving figure and said, "Li Zhen, you shouldn't provoke He Ming."
Li Zhen said: "General, is there any chance of reconciliation between you and He Ming?"
Wu Qigong laughed twice, knowing that reconciliation was impossible. Changing the topic, Wu Qigong said in a deep voice: "Currently, our first priority is to defeat the bandits. As long as we defeat the bandits who avenge Yang Zhengqing, everything will be easy. Li Zhen
Ah, you can’t relax at this time, you have to be absolutely sure, do you understand?”
Li Zhenlang said in a loud voice: "General, don't worry, I understand my humble position."
"Report!"
Outside the camp, a loud and resonant voice suddenly sounded.
Wu Qigong trembled and was startled.
Li Zhen shouted calmly: "Come in!"
The tent door curtain was rolled up, and a burly and tall man walked in. This man was tall and tall, with temples as sharp as knives, eyes as electric as lightning, plump in heaven, straight nose bridge, plump lips, beard under the chin standing up like steel needles, and strong and powerful arms.
, with a round waist and broad shoulders. Standing in the big tent, he exudes an aura as strong as a mountain.
Li Zhen nodded lightly, and couldn't help but admire the good man in his heart, and began to guess the identity of this man. The man raised his head and looked at Wu Qigong, with a stern expression and cold eyes, which scared Wu Qigong and took a step back unconsciously.
Wu Qigong pretended to be calm, raised his head, and shouted with a stern expression: "Huang Shihai, what are you doing here?"
The corner of Li Zhen's mouth curled up, this person is indeed Huang Shihai, what a great general!
