Chapter 639 Go to Donglin Academy!
Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.
Needless to say, Eunuch Wei still has people outside.
Just think about it, the cunning rabbit has three holes. How can Eunuch Wei, who is afraid of death, stay so honestly and not bend around nearby?
Otherwise, it would be so strong that he would have to jump into the cessation pit. It would depend on whether Wuxi County would agree.
That hut would be very crowded.
Small apartments have poor ventilation and are not spacious.
The potential outside are the messengers directly under the camp of the personal soldiers, all of which are the original Liaodong horse bandits, Han people, Koreans, Jurchens, and Mongolians. It may not be possible for these gangs of horse bandits to ask them to fight regular troops, but they have to ask them to act alone and give orders, but they are all good at it.
Without it, you are very skilled and brave.
Like the messengers who stayed in the Beijing office, the messengers in the personal military camp were also in groups of two. They usually wear casual clothes and eat and live alone, which looked no different from the people.
Their equipment is not only horses, crossbows, and signal flares.
The regular army of the Ming Dynasty called the signal flares as smoke-emitting agent. Eunuch Wei definitely didn't like the name of such a local bun, so his subordinates said that this was the signal flare used for communication.
Before leaving Beijing, he specially bought a batch of cigarette agent from Jinyiwei Nan Town and Song Qingyang. Later, he asked the firearm craftsman who sold the military battle to restructure it according to the principle of fireworks, making the cigarette agent a veritable signal flare.
After the signal flare is flew, it has three colors.
They are red, yellow, and blue.
According to the principle of the signal light, the rule given by Eunuch Wei is to ascend to heaven by blue bombs, so he informs that there is danger, but it is not urgent. However, the tribes must prepare immediately and be alert and set off at any time.
When the yellow bullets go to the sky, the danger will deepen. The enemy is not far away. All the troops gather at the message address when they see the account.
If the red bullet goes to the sky, it will be a hundred thousand times urgent.
These three bullets are explicit contact signals issued by the manual compiled by Eunuch Wei. Even if ordinary soldiers are illiterate, they must let them know what the color of the signal rising in the sky means.
But there is another signal that only officers above the Biaozheng General Office can know.
Eunuch Wei called it the Fire Dragon Cannon.
Although the name is loud, it is actually a firework used by the people. After it is blown up forty sounds, it will rise to the sky with all colors.
If the fire dragon cannon ascends to the sky, there is no other meaning. It's only one - our family is in danger, and it's going to be noisy soon. Come and save our family!...If you really can't save it, you'll find a way out and run away.
This is also the greatness of life and the brilliant meaning of death.
Among the fireworks in the sky, Eunuch Wei was born as gorgeous as summer flowers and died as quiet as autumn leaves. What else can't be closed?
Of course, until the last moment, Eunuch Wei definitely did not launch the Fire Dragon Cannon to the Sky.
He also wants to be a thousand-year-old turtle.
In fact, even after modification, the effect of this signal flare is limited, especially if used during the day, the visual range is at most three miles away, and you still need to have excellent vision to distinguish colors. However, it is effective at night, and the range is at least twice as wide as during the day.
It is bright and eye-catching, and with the larvae, anyone can see it except the blind and the deaf.
Of course, Eunuch Wei was a conservative person. He did not dare to send the signal only to the eyes of the soldiers, so he came up with this method of tug-force transmission.
There is a group of three miles, and the group is passed down, like the Olympic torch in the previous life. In this way, we will ensure that our subordinates can collect orders in time.
The first blue bomb was shot by Eunuch Wei himself. With a "swoosh", the Dragon of the Sky rose into the sky like a rocket, and then exploded in the air.
In less than three breaths, two bombs flew into the air one after another, like the brightest star in the night sky.
Not to mention, the crowd on County Qian Street was really scared by this "spark". Everyone looked up at the sky, and they all didn't know what to do.
Eunuch Wei just hopes that they will not understand the truth, and it would be even better if these people could not understand the truth.
This blue bullet is both a fool, not a fool.
The truth inside means warning.
Eunuch Wei took a small red flag handed over by Xiaotian from the ladder and then inserted it hard into the gap of bricks on the wall.
This is the first warning and the first chance.
In terms of public or private, in terms of emotion or reason, Eunuch Wei is a good father-in-law who loves the people as much as his son.
………
At the same time, in the shallow woods in an unknown river beside the city of Wuxi, two messengers who had been staring at the county town in the distance moved their expressions, and then the same blue signal bomb was fired from them.
"Hundred Houses, blue signal!"
"Prepare!"
With the order of the General Office of the Horse Team, Eunuch Wei personally granted the hundred households Zheng Duo, more than 300 horse soldiers who had rested in the forest jumped up from the ground and quickly rushed to the mount beside the forest. The horse workers in the former Taipu Temple Suning Horse Factory, who were responsible for managing and raising horses, all retreated aside.
Zheng Duo patted his butt, walked slowly into the road with a blade of grass in his arms, but did not order the whole camp to go to the county town, but was waiting for something.
"Hundred households?"
Zhao Ming, who was specially appointed as the president of the horse team by Eunuch Wei for his contribution to the horse management, was looked at in confusion.
"No hurry!"
Zheng Duo's expression was calm, and Eunuch Wei's blue bullet was fired, which means that the matter was not serious yet.
The canal is not far from where the horse team is located. The three battalions of Cao Wenyao, Wu Fuming and Guo Dafeng have all arrived on the shore. The chief officers of the personal guard camp who were originally stationed by the river are also there.
"Good, what signal is it?"
Uncle Qi was sleeping in a daze. What the hell did my nephew and grandson do in the middle of the night? I still let people sleep.
Cao Wenyao and Wu Fuming looked at the elder of Eunuch Wei, smiled bitterly and shook their heads: This person is really not a soldier.
"It seems like something is wrong in the city."
Wu Fuming stared at the distant night sky for a while, and was really puzzled. What could happen in the south of the Yangtze River?
"No signal will be sent if there is nothing to do."
Cao Wenyao didn't think much and immediately sent an order to summon it. About a quarter of an hour later, the second battalions on the left and right of the infantry army had been assembled, but the baggage camp was a little slow, and only then had a group of people gathered. The fastest ones were the two battalions in the personal guard camp. They had already assembled, and they were busy checking medicines and guiding ropes.
Cao Wenyao glanced at these Japanese surrendered from Liaodong. Although he looked down on the Japanese in his bones, these Japanese were much more proficient in using firearms than ordinary Ming officers and soldiers.
Wu Fuming secretly scolded Guo Dafeng for not being able to manage the army, and discussed with Cao Wenyao whether he and the other two would lead the troops into the city first. He was right and there was a sergeant coming to report that there was a red signal in the southeast sky.
"Hundred households, red signal!"
Zhao Ming pointed to the sky three miles away and said in surprise.
Zheng Duo spit out the grass leaves and shouted: "Get on the horse!"
Soon, all the soldiers of the horse team turned over the horses, and the horseman below handed them the torch that had been made. In an instant, a fire dragon was born.
"Go to Donglin Academy!"
