Take the arsenal to Da Ming

Chapter 72 Entering Fucheng
On May [-]th, Tangning brought two companies of veterans and a thousand recruits to the city's east gate and stopped one mile away.

More than a thousand people lined up neatly, with banners and flags unfurled, majestic and majestic.

Hearing that Tang Zongbing will enter the city for the first time today, the whole prefecture city is boiling, and it seems that they have forgotten the suffering caused by the war during this period.

Those who can go to the top of the city have already found a good position, and those who cannot go to the top of the city are also looking forward to it on the main road, hoping to see Tang Zongbing as soon as possible.

Yang Qiu, the prefect who is the highest official in Chaozhou Prefecture, and Liu Yuan, the highest military officer in the prefecture, went out of the city to greet them in person.

It can be seen that the two of them attached great importance to Tangning's arrival.

"Your official Yang Qiu, I have met Mr. Tang..." Yang Qiu, who was a little short and fat with a strong smile on his face, bowed and bowed.

"Master Yang, I can't help it, I can't help it, please get up quickly..." Tangning stepped forward to help Yang Qiu up.

After Yang Qiu got up, Liu Yuan quickly came over to salute, "The last general will see Mr. Tang."

"General Liu, you don't need to be too polite. From now on, everyone will be your own..."

As soon as Tangning said this, the two of them were secretly happy, and their previous worries were greatly reduced.

"Master Tang, please..." Yang Qiu and Liu Yuan immediately extended their hands to greet each other.

"You two, please..." Tangning didn't hold her back at all.

"Let's go... let's go..." Huang Dabiao shouted heavily from behind, full of air.

Immediately, the team of more than 1000 people began to move, making the sound of neat footsteps.

Yang Qiu and Liu Yuan turned their heads at the same time, with shocked expressions on their faces.

The people standing on the top of the city immediately showed excited expressions when they saw this magnificent army moving towards the city gate.

"The new army is about to enter the city, it is about to enter the city..."

"They are really very different from the Ming army. Just looking at their marching, they appear to be very powerful."

"The new army is here, the new army is here." Someone shouted, which attracted more shouts.

……

The soldiers of the new army who arrived in front of the city gate were unmoved. Huang Dabiao changed his password and shouted: "Go forward...go..."

Immediately, almost everyone's body shook, and they became much stronger. Every movement seemed sonorous and powerful, and a burst of mighty momentum was involuntarily released.

"Wow..." When the people on the top of the city saw this scene, they almost exclaimed in unison, and then looked excited.

Because this team will protect Fucheng in the future, the stronger this team is, the more secure they will feel.

"Are they carrying magic weapons? Most of them are similar to bird guns, except that there is an extra knife on it."

"You don't know much, do you? Can the bird gun compare with these magic weapons? I have heard that these are magic weapons with added mana. They can hit miles away, and they can all be compared to fire It’s a cannon. And it can shoot continuously, bang bang bang, no need to ignite..."

"real or fake?"

"Could it be a fake? Zheng Zhilong, the king of Minhai, is powerful, isn't Fujian and Guangdong his backyard? Come and leave whenever you want."

"But what about a while ago? In the battle of Huanggang, Master Tang told him that the current Chaozhou Prefecture is not where he can come and go whenever he wants. It is a dragon, and he has to be coiled."

"Oh, you don't know, Zheng Jun was beaten so badly, and many people were beaten to pieces. Just like this, Zheng Zhilong had to apologize to Mr. Tang, and he paid a full 100 yuan for the white money. Ten thousand taels."

"Yes, yes, I also heard from my brother who fled to Huanggang. My brother even went to move the corpse. It was really miserable. He still has nightmares when he sleeps at night."

"However, Mr. Tang is really good to the people of Huanggang City. When he and his family went to Huanggang, they had nothing but a few rags."

"In the first few days, I lived on relief, and then Master Tang arranged a place for everyone in just half a month."

"Now, Mr. Tang has arranged work for him. As long as it is not his own work, he will get money, because Mr. Tang has exempted everyone from corvee. My sister-in-law works in the workshop opened by Mr. Tang. It is said that you can get about three taels of silver a month."

"Hiss...three taels of silver? Are there that many?"

"Isn't that right? I heard that there are still four days off per month. The normal working time is four hours a day. What is the excess time? It counts as overtime work, yes, it counts as overtime work, and the wages paid for overtime work are half higher than normal."

"My sister-in-law wants to work overtime every day and doesn't rest for a month, but she is embarrassed. Isn't she working so hard to earn Mr. Tang's money? If there is no Mr. Tang, their family will survive It's all difficult."

"Now, both of them have jobs. The six-year-old son and five-year-old daughter are studying in the school. Not only does it cost nothing, the school also provides a meal."

"The eldest son joins some kind of youth and children's regiment, and he can study for free and teach various skills. I heard that in the future, the soldiers of the new army will be selected from the youth and children's regiment first. There are many more, and I can't finish it all at once..."

"Your brother's family has come to the end of all hardships..." Many people cast envious glances.

"Who said it wasn't? At the beginning, I was reluctant to part with a little family property in Fucheng, otherwise I would have gone to Huanggang. Now I really regret it..."

"Is there anything to regret, Mr. Tang is not our Chaozhou general now? In the future, Fucheng will definitely be the second Huanggang..."

"However, Mr. Tang is the chief soldier. He only takes care of the army. Don't you know that Mr. Fu is in charge of other things?"

Hearing this, everyone sighed, "Hey..."

After chatting here, the few people chatted to death, and then thought of Huanggang, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

At this time, the new troops lined up in ten rows had already entered the city with neat steps, and what greeted them was the sound of mountains roaring and tsunami.

Hearing these voices, even the recruits and soldiers whose mental quality has been greatly improved can't help feeling a deep sense of pride.

Especially those recruits, many of them were refugees before, and some even fled from Fucheng to Huanggang City.

But now, they stepped here again with a brand new look and a brand new attitude.

Immediately, there was a sense of pride in returning home with good clothes and glory.

"That, that, isn't that Sun Dazhu? He, he is already a new army?"

"Where? Where?"

"The third row from the bottom, the one near the middle left."

"Oh, it's really Sun Dazhu. That poor boy, he actually joined the new army. It's a piece of shit luck. This time he's going to make a fortune."

"Oh, I hate it. Why didn't I go to Huanggang? If I had gone to Huanggang, I would definitely be a new army now. Look at Sun Dazhu's majesty, I really hate it, I really hate it..." As he spoke, He couldn't help but slapped himself a few times.

This person is not the only one who regrets, and there is no one who knows the new look of Huanggang City who does not regret it, but it is too late to regret it now.

Because the new army had already stopped recruiting troops, the number of places to live in Huanggang City was also full.

But no matter what, knowing that General Tang became the general of Chaozhou and led his troops into Fucheng, almost everyone in Chaozhou welcomed him.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

Among the crowded crowd, a short and fat old man with a mustache skipped several times but failed to see what he wanted to see. He was completely blocked by a wall of people in front of him.
He cursed in a low voice, and winked at the servant beside him.

The servant squatted down very interestingly, and the short and fat old man quickly rode on the servant's shoulders. The servant stood up, and the short and fat old man finally realized the feeling of sitting tall and seeing far.

But just for a moment, his small eyes widened, and then he fell back in horror.

The servant didn't expect that the master would suddenly lean back, one of them didn't notice, and the two of them fell into a mess. The servant next to him didn't have time to help him, and even hit others.

If it weren't for the old man's luxurious clothes and a few strong servants beside him, he might have scolded him.

"Master, are you okay?" the servant asked nervously, and he was about to help the old man up.

The short and fat old man didn't seem to hear it at all. He was still sitting on the ground and muttered to himself with a shocked expression on his face, "Tangning, Tangning, that's Tangning, that brat from the Tang family, he..."
