Chapter 114 Pregnancy
Wang Hong dismantled the rotten guns on the carriage and threw them around the roadside as he walked. However, he was annoyed that there were rampant guns here, and officials, bandits, military bandits, and evil gentry and bullies all had guns, and the people did not have a stable life at all.
Maybe there are many people with thalassinated poverty, and the two officials and local bandits are scattered. Maybe this is the reason why Shandong people have entered Guandong in large numbers.
He didn't have time to think about this deeper.
Because Zhao Jingzhi became more and more uncomfortable, Wang Hong touched her forehead and didn’t have a fever, but he just felt nauseous and vomited.
When she asked her, she said it was okay, but she just didn't sleep well, so that Wang Hong didn't have to worry.
The carriage entered a big town and stopped again. The carriage in the county could only go here. Wang Hong and the other two should change the carriage.
Wang Hong was not in a hurry to find a car, so he took Zhao Jingzhi to find the doctor in the town first.
The town is not small, and soon found a locally renowned doctor.
The old Chinese doctor took the pulse with one hand and pulled his beard with the other hand. After a long time, he said, "This lady is pregnant."
Zhao Jingzhi had this feeling for a long time, but she was just uncertain. When she heard the old Chinese doctor's words, she suddenly became alive.
Wang Hong could only look at Zhao Jingzhi and smiled foolishly. For a while, he could not digest the excitement of being a father for the first time.
Zhao Jingzhi asked the old Chinese doctor what to pay attention to. The old Chinese doctor said casually that it is enough to safeguard the fetus, don’t do heavy work, don’t run around and jump around.
Wang Hong put down a few pieces of ocean and wanted to find a place to live and prepare to rest here for a few days. Zhao Jingzhi refused to let him go and said that it would be okay to walk slowly in the carriage and rest after he got home.
There were still 200 miles away from home, and it was indeed not too far away, so Wang Hong went to find a carriage shop and prepared to hire a better carriage and walk back slowly.
The carriages here are very large, with more than a dozen carriages inside, but there is no business.
Wang Hong asked, the bandits here were very serious. No one dared to go such a long way in the carriage shop, even when he went to the town in front, no one wanted to. A man who drove the horse even said that he should go back and go east.
But these people were just talking vaguely and were reluctant to talk too much to Wang Hong in military uniforms.
People in this area are very complicated. They hate bandits, but they hate officials and bandits even more. Most of them have been recruited, and most of them have been officers. It is normal for them to not care about Wang Hong.
After Wang Hong's repeated questioning, these talents hinted that there were four counties ahead, and at least three or four large groups of bandits could be encountered. Because there were unruly people, they even robbed horses from carriages, so they did not dare to go in that direction.
Wang Hong thought for a long time, and the two brought two big-bellied boxes, one box gun without fast and slow machines, plus three small pistols, and more than a thousand bullets. As long as the machine is more alert, bandits without machine guns and cannons should not be their opponents.
I decided to buy a carriage from the carriage shop.
The carriage shop was actually very happy and immediately drove a very real price. The best carriage plus an ordinary carriage, less than 200 silver dollars. Wang Hong thought that this was the money and it would not be wasted when he got home and dealt with it for his family. So he did not hesitate. He probably saw some stronger and younger carriages, and under the guidance of the carriage shop, he got a carriage and horse trap.
Wang Hong put the bedding on the carriage, and the horse materials for four or five days were placed on the carriage. After asking the people in the carriage, he drove the carriage away.
Raising horses is not cheap. It is not easy to just eat grass when running long distances. There are about ten kilograms of forage a day, and you also need to add black beans, wheat, and soybeans. These are all foods for people, which is equivalent to raising five or six people. The digestive system of horses is different from that of people. They cannot digest forage during exercise, and they need to stop for twelve or three hours a day, or walk slowly to digest forage.
The bandits that the horse carriage shop was unwilling to tell Wang Hong were almost scruples in Jiaodong. Even the horse carriage shop, which had close ties with the bandits, had to sell horses and carriages, which showed how arrogant they were.
At this time, Liu Heiqi, a giant bandit with tens of thousands of people, had already gone north to the Rehe area, and the bandits in this area became large-scale land tyrants. The largest group in Zhaoxian started from the militia, proclaiming himself the commander of Jiaodong, recruiting bandits, claiming to be the Eighth Regiment, stationed in various townships, recruiting soldiers and robbing. Generally, militias in large towns could not resist. Their strength had reached the point where they could attack the county town, and the two counties in Zhaoxian in the north and Pingxian in the west were attacked.
Wang Hong drove the carriage to Zhao County. The two of them rushed to the road, fed the horses for a while, and walked over from the edge of the county town.
Not long after walking through Zhaoxian, a group of fast horses chased after him. Wang Hong looked nice and saw the horseman holding a short gun and his clothes were messy. There was no need to think about it. It must be a big bandit.
If these people were allowed to approach, it would be difficult for the two of them to resist. Wang Hong immediately used a big belly box to drive a shuttle in front of these fast horses, stopping the steps of these people.
Sure enough, the person who came was not good.
Seeing that Wang Hong fired his gun first, they immediately fired it. Wang Hong asked Zhao Jingzhi to drive the carriage first, and he wanted to hide on the ground and fight against this group of bandits.
These people did not seem to be specializing in horse bandits, and did not drive the horses and rush forward, which made Wang Hong feel at ease. Even if he shot two shots by one, he would be unable to withstand the charge and shooting of a large group of horse bandits.
The infantry riding horses were not as good as Wang Hong. More than a hundred meters away, these people tied the reins, and Wang Hong immediately relied on his guns to shoot far and accurately, and began to shoot at the people.
After several magazines were gone, the other party realized that they were either rushing or retreating, and they had to move. They stood here and could only wait for the beating.
It is impossible to rush, this firepower can only seek death.
But it was a little too late to retreat now. Some people had fallen under the horse, and some horses began to jump around. The group of people said nothing and ran back immediately.
In fact, Wang Hong was also shocked and sweating. If these people rushed over without hesitation, it would be difficult for him to withstand it. Fortunately, these people did not expect that a carriage would have such strong firepower and would be inconsistent with the response.
Seeing that the fast horse behind him stopped chasing, the two drove forward in the carriage.
But not long after I walked, I met another group of elite bandits.
Wang Hong finally understood why the people in the carriage business didn't go here and were happy to sell him the good horses and carriages.
This is a bandit's nest.
To talk about these elite bandits means that these people have long spears and short spears, and they are obviously good spears, and they are pretty accurate in firing them.
About two hundred meters away, the bullet hit the side of the carriage and signaled the two to stop the carriage.
Fortunately, there was a low-lying land on the roadside, so Wang Hong immediately asked Zhao Jingzhi to drive the carriage there and look forward to the horse.
He rushed behind a stone and observed the people.
When the bandits saw Wang Hong pushing the carriage to the bottom of the road, they didn't care much. A few of them were riding horses, but they scattered with their accomplices, holding rifles, holding box guns, and two holding flower mechanisms.
Wang Hong's face changed color. Only the pistol team in the army can see this weapon configuration. It can actually appear in this bandit. How big is this bandit?
He hid himself, prepared two box guns and magazines, and waited for these people to approach.
When these people reached more than fifty meters, Wang Hong rolled out from behind the stone and lay on the ground. Two big-bellied boxes began to sweep across the people. The two magazines knocked down five or six people in an instant.
When Wang Hong hid behind the stone again, only a few gunfires came, and the bullets fell around. After pausing, all the gunfires began to sound.
Wang Hong breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself, there were only a few alert people, none of whom were veterans.
After he changed the magazine, he went out from the other side of the stone. This time he fired at the person holding the flower machine gun and the horse riding. After two magazines, seven or eight people fell down. The other bandits all bowed their heads and lay on the ground.
Seeing that these people did not fight back, Wang Hong changed into magazines on the spot and swept away two more. His hands felt that the gun was so hot that he could only turn back behind the stone.
After waiting for a while, there was no gunfire and no sound came closer. Wang Hong was stunned. It didn't seem like the two armies were fighting fire?
He poked his head out and saw that, hey, these bandits had already run far back silently.
In the Republic of China, it was extremely rare for Wang Hong to not understand guns and not feel sad about bullets. Not to mention bandits, even if the army uses bullets as water, it will have a headache. You must know that bullets are also money. There are countless new recruits who can't shoot in those warlords.
Wang Hong did not rush to leave this time, but went forward, re-gunned several people who fell to the ground, took down the equipment from the two injured horses, took back the rifles, carriage rifles, machine guns and bullets of these people, and placed them in the carriage. Then he continued to rush home.
Among the several guns, two horse rifles were the Japanese Style 38, and they were all new guns.
