Chapter 4 Actively Seeking Rewards
After leaving the garden, I heard the sound of silver laughter and music all the way, and corpses could be seen lying in pools of blood everywhere, and debris were discarded everywhere.
In the front yard, some big men carrying swords were directing young men to move things, and the whole house had obviously been cleaned up.
Qin Yu originally wanted to find a suit, but he thought about it and would not be misunderstood at the same time and would be chopped down as a rich man.
Qin Yu did not go up to help, but decided to accumulate energy. So he took advantage of the chaos and found a woodshed room and secretly fell asleep.
In order to prevent people from being cut to death in a dream, a pillar was pressed behind the door. Whenever someone pushed the door, he would wake up.
...
Qin Yu was woken up and pushed open the door and found that it was already dark.
When I arrived in the yard, I saw the heroes of the rebels naked, drinking and eating meat, and scolding them.
More than a dozen untidy women were thrown around and screamed from time to time, causing the heroes to burst into laughter, and the scene was very lively.
Qin Yu did not participate. Seeing that the mother and daughter were not among them, he walked out. Almost everyone recognized him, and no one asked about it.
After leaving the yard, there were also sounds of drinking and eating meat in the houses on both sides. There were almost no one else on the street. Obviously, those who could enter the city were celebrating.
Qin Yu knew that if you want to make a contribution, you had to take the initiative to collect it.
If you don’t go, how do others know that you are still alive?
After today, the Eight Great Kings are in the gentle village every day, and I still remember it! So I have to strike while the iron is hot.
After wandering around the city for a long time, Qin Yu found the county government. This time, two rebels were watching at the door, but their heads glanced at them from time to time.
"stop!"
"Boy, this is not where you should come, go there."
"Two brothers, don't you know me? I'm the one who makes gunpowder bombing the city gate during the day..."
"It's you boy. If you don't go to drink and celebrate, why are you here for something?"
The man on the right stepped forward to look at Qin Yu's eyes, patted his shoulder and smiled.
"Two brothers, am I here to find the king to receive the reward? Please inform me..." Qin Yu said as he fumbled on his body for a while, but only found two copper plates, which were picked up on the road.
"Boy, I won't inform you. The king and all the leaders are in a hurry. Isn't it a question to scold me at this time? Let's come again tomorrow!" The man waved.
"Oh well!"
Qin Yu had no choice but to nod his head helplessly. If he didn't strike while the iron was hot, he would definitely have to give a discount for tomorrow's reward.
"What's going on?"
At this moment, a young man walked out with two subordinates.
"Second General, this kid is the one who does gunpowder bombing city during the day..."
"oh?"
The person who came was Li Dingguo, who was planning to go out for patrol and get some breath. When he saw that it was Qin Yu, he was immediately happy and laughed and said, "Little brother, you are here just now. My adoptive father mentioned you just now. Everyone thought you were killed, haha, go..."
As he said that, he grabbed Qin Yu's arm and walked in.
"I'm here Qin Yu, haven't you asked the general Gao's name yet?"
Qin Yu was not polite either. He naturally recognized that this young man should be one of Zhang Xianzhong's four adopted sons.
If he hadn't stopped him during the day, he would have been cut off. Now, seeing him so enthusiastic, he immediately felt a good impression and wanted to make friends.
"My name is Zhang Dingguo, and I am the adopted son of the king. In the future, everyone will be their own brothers."
Li Dingguo waved his hand generously.
"It turns out that he is Brother Dingguo. He has long admired Daming. He also wants to thank Brother Dingguo for his help during the day!"
Qin Yu did not expect that this young man was Li Dingguo, a famous general in the anti-Qing Dynasty in the Southern Ming Dynasty, and his favor was even greater.
"Oh! It's just a trivial matter. If it weren't for the gunpowder made by Brother Qin during the day, my rebel army might not have been able to attack this Gucheng. I should thank you..."
As the two of them spoke, they had already walked through the noisy yard and arrived at the lobby of the county government.
I saw the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong sitting in the position of the county magistrate, holding a beautiful woman in one hand, making her feel so happy.
On both sides, more than a dozen leaders were also hugging a beautiful woman, some were drinking wine, and some were urging up and down, which was more lively than outside.
When Qin Yu saw the beautiful woman tied to the pillar on the left, he sighed in his heart. He didn't expect that the mother and daughter would be caught so quickly and sent to the Eight Great Kings.
The beautiful woman also saw Qin Yu coming in, and her numb expression finally felt a little moved, and a hint of expectation flashed in her eyes.
Qin Yu quickly turned his head to the side.
If I had known this, I wouldn't have been soft-hearted at that time. I was robbed of the credit for it in vain, but I don't know why she was tied up there.
"Entertainment Father, I bring the little brother who offered a plan to bomb the city during the day."
"Oh! Is that right?" Zhang Xianzhong pushed the woman in his arms aside when he heard this, and the others in the hall also calmed down and looked at Qin Yu.
The young man wrapped in white cloth on the top snorted coldly and turned his head to one side. It was Sun Kewang, who was carrying people to blow up the door, obviously suffered a little injury.
"Boy Qin Yu, I have met the king, dear leaders!"
"Um!"
"Boy, this time my rebel army broke through the county town, you made a lot of contributions. My eight kings have always been clear about rewards and punishments. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
"King, from this breaking of the city, gunpowder and firearms can play a huge role in siege, so the boy dared to recommend himself to form a firearm battalion and attack the city and the rebel army in the future!"
Qin Yu quickly clasped his fists. Now is not the time to be humble, and opportunities are fleeting.
"Um!"
Zhang Xianzhong felt a little bit superior and thought it made sense. He was about to nod his head to agree, but Sun Kewang next to him winked at a big man beside him.
The big man immediately stood up: "King, this guy hasn't even grown all his hair, so he just sits in a battalion commander. I'm afraid the brothers below will be dissatisfied!"
"Yes, I have been fighting with the king in the south for more than ten years. I have only barely taken the commander's position as the commander. If you make such a little contribution, you must be the commander. It's really a toad who yawns so much."
"Ha ha!"
After a burst of laughter, everyone felt that Qin Yu was not aware of the greatness of the world.
Li Dingguo clasped his fists: "Although the adoptive father, brother Qin is young, he has extraordinary knowledge. If he hadn't offered a plan to bomb the city with gunpowder this time, even if he captured Gucheng, our army would have suffered heavy losses. He was proficient in firearms. I think it would be okay to ask him to form a firearm camp!"
"The adoptive father, what the second brother said makes sense. However, this time our army did not seize much gunpowder, and the firearms were rusty and unusable. Then the firearms battalion will only waste food if it is formed. Didn't this kid say he is literate? I think it would be better to let him follow Mr. Huang to manage the rear camp, which is more suitable."
Sun Kewang stood up, nodded first, and then said slowly.
Qin Yu felt very hatred. He and this guy had no chance to be revenge, but this dog was targeting him repeatedly. Why didn't he blow him to death during the day?
There is nothing wrong with going to the back camp. What he wants is his subordinates. Only in this way can he have a place in the rebel army in the future. So he said again: "Master, it doesn't matter if there is no gunpowder. As long as there is sulfur, the boy can make gunpowder by himself. This time we should have seized a lot of sulfur!"
"Oh? You can also make gunpowder? Could it be that you are a craftsman who builds firearms?" Zhang Xianzhong immediately sat upright.
"Yes, the king!"
Qin Yu's face was not red and he said in a panic, thinking that I was a craftsman, this kid was just a little beggar.
"Will you cast artillery?" Zhang Xianzhong's eyes lit up.
"As long as there are skilled craftsmen, it should be possible."
At this time, we naturally have to pretend to the end, determine our position first, and talk about what happened later.
"Okay! Then from now on, the firearm battalion will be established, and you will be in charge of the number of people. The firearms seized this time will be under the management of the firearm battalion."
Zhang Xianzhong slapped the table, which shocked the two beautiful women beside him trembled.
"Thank you, the king! The king is wise!"
Qin Yu was overjoyed and couldn't help but feel that the Eight Kings did have clear rewards and punishments, and they had the aura of a turtle.
No wonder he and Li Zicheng were the only ones who stood out in the end in the hundreds of migrant leaders in the late Ming Dynasty.
Everyone was not opposed, and they knew the temper of the Eight Kings very well, but they were in high spirits now.
"Brother Qin, congratulations, come, I'll recommend it to you..."
Li Dingguo smiled and bowed, then began to pull Qin Yu and toast the other leaders.
