The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 309
The next afternoon, Ding Yi frowned at the original location of the 'Dengzhou Hypermarket' in the city. Geng Zhongming came to copy the Dengzhou Hypermarket immediately after Dengzhou's rebellion, because he seemed to know that it belonged to Ding Yi. Fortunately, Ding Yi moved Qin Nan's family back to Lushun first.

A torch surnamed Geng burned the whole place down, and it will take a long time for the Dengzhou hypermarket to reopen.

The city was in great chaos at the moment, all the Ming troops were outside the city, only Ding Yi and Wu Sangui were allowed to enter the city.

One is to eliminate the remnants of the enemy, and the other is to use the machine to reap great benefits.

Lu Chao, Liu Yuan, are following him right now, while Yan Xiong and Wang Weizhong are leading people around to grab things.

As soon as Ding Yi entered the city, he asked them to find the former Dengzhou Artillery Bureau and gunpowder warehouse, and then look at the artillery. The Kong Youde Rebellion fought for more than a year, and they guarded Dengzhou for nearly half a year. Gunpowder, this is the foundation laid by Sun Yuanhua.

Before Sun came, Lu Chao recruited many craftsmen here, and Qin Nan often bought materials for making gunpowder. After Sun came, both of them had no achievements, and Sun snatched them all.

When the rebels attacked Laizhou, tens of thousands of catties of nitrate and sulfur were stored in Laizhou city, but iron was relatively small, which also withstood the rebels' attack.

In Dengzhou City, the nitrate, sulfur, and iron are far more than Laizhou City, which is all money.

Although Ding Yi can be transported from Japan, the labor and time required to transport a ship are much more expensive.

As for looking at the artillery, it is natural for Ding Yi to find a way to swallow it.

As soon as Wu Sangui's soldiers and horses entered the city, they first went to the governor's yamen, government bank, granary and other places, which was also a conspiracy.

Soon Ding Yi came to a place, which was also burned to a barren place: "I remember, this place used to be a big seller of grain in Dengzhou."

"Master Ding has a good memory." Lu Chao said with a smile.

When he and Ding Yi came to fry rice together, he had been here before.

"What happened to this family?" Ding Yi asked Liu Yuan.

"They were all killed by the rebels, all the food was looted, and the shops were burned." Liu Yuan said with a bitter face.

"This shop is in a good location. It's in the middle of the city, surrounded by residents. Try to occupy this shop. Let's continue selling grain."

"Your Excellency is wise." Lu Chao hurriedly flattered me, why didn't I expect this.

"There is no one in this house, it's a trivial matter." Liu Yuan laughed along.

The rebel army occupied Dengzhou for more than a year, and countless wealthy households in the city were killed. Many houses, fields, and storefronts are now without owners.

Liu Yuan walked with Ding Yi all the way, while looking at the shops and houses in good locations, all of which were written down in a small notebook.

As long as no one is found afterwards, all will be taken.

"Master Liu, you should check carefully, don't miss anything." Lu Chao glared at Liu Yuan maliciously at this moment.

Liu Yuan nodded quickly: "No, no, be careful."

Ding Yi was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he immediately said: "Liu Yuan, don't get me wrong. If there are family members who escaped from the grain fields of those shops, they will still have to return them when they come back."

"We only occupy the unoccupied."

"Yes, yes, I understand." Liu Yuan wiped off his sweat, but he didn't know if Ding Yi's answer was true or not.

Dengzhou is a bit big, and I can't get there on foot for a while.

After walking for nearly an hour, Ding Yi lost his mind, thinking about the future and letting Lu Chao and the others do it.

Getting ready to go back.

A fast horse ran towards Ding Yi with Lushun soldiers.

"Master Ding, something happened."

It turned out that Wang Weizhong clashed with Wu Sangui's soldiers because of the artillery incident at the top of the city.

Ding Yi asked Wang Weizhong to look at the artillery, but Wu Sangui actually wanted to transport the artillery, so he was naturally caught.

The soldiers and horses of the two sides are now in a stalemate on the top of the city, and they all went to find their respective superiors.

"Let's go." Ding Yi quickly waved his hand, got on his horse, and headed for the city.

When Ding Yi arrived, Wu Sangui happened to be there too.

The two dismounted at the same time and smiled at each other.

"General Ding."

"Brother Wu." Ding Yi laughed loudly: "Misunderstanding, let me take a look. It's that bastard who doesn't open his eyes. He dares to make trouble with Brother Wu's elite soldiers. Go, beat his mother."

Hand in hand to pull Wu Sangui up, clamoring to beat up his own soldiers.

Wu Sangui is young now, and he was in a bad mood when he came here.

Some time ago, Ding Yi did not work hard, and he was always praised by Gao Qiqian. In the end, he succeeded in attacking the city, and all the great achievements were made by Ding Yi.

He was about to get angry, but he didn't expect Ding Yi to be so warm and polite.

Now I can only swallow what I want to say.

At this time Wu Sangui was still young, far less sophisticated than later.

Can't help being pulled to the top of the city by Ding Yi.

"Damn it, who messed with my brother Wu's soldiers? Get out?" Ding Yi said angrily.

Wu Sangui watched from the side, guessing that Ding Yi was just putting on a show.

Wang Weizhong hurried forward: "My lord, it's the fault of my humble position--"

"Come on, pull it out and chop it up." Ding Yi said angrily.

The two armored soldiers immediately stepped forward, dragged Wang Weizhong and walked back.

The young Wu Sangui saw this move, and his eyes widened immediately.

Fortunately, he was not stupid, and immediately screamed: "Keep people under the knife."

He stepped forward and grabbed Wang Weizhong, turned his head and shouted: "Brother Ding, why is this such a trivial matter?"

Finally called Brother Ding.

Ding Yi let Wu Sangui's men in because he thought they were too far away to take the cannon away, but he didn't expect this bastard to come to ask for the cannon anyway.

But Ding Yi didn't refuse either. After all, the cannon was not his but belonged to the court. He asked Wu Sangui decisively, what kind of cannon do you want and how to transport it.

Wu Sangui was not too polite, his father was beaten to death by the Houjin artillery during the Battle of Dalinghe, so he naturally wanted to get two artillery pieces back.

Immediately go back and organize people to come over, and finally transport two red barbarian cannons to the top of Dengzhou City, and add ten Western cannons to go.

Wang Weizhong wanted to say something, but he didn't dare to say it, but after Wu Sangui finished transporting the cannons, Ding Yi decisively called Yan Xiong and Lu Chao: "Let's also transport some cannons away, first take away four Hongyi cannons and a hundred Western cannons." .”

Wang Weizhong was puzzled, Master Ding said he wouldn't grab the cannon before, why did he grab it now.

Ding Yi said, it's different now, Wu Sangui carried the cannon first, and we learned from him.

There are some things that we cannot do first, but if someone wants to do it, we must do it better than him.

Wang Weizhong smiled innocently and understood instantly.

Sure enough, within a few days, Zhu Dadian also wanted to transport some cannons back to Jinan. When he arrived at the top of the city, his face changed drastically. He also saw that Kong Youde had hundreds of cannons in the attack that day. How did he lose so much time in just a few days?
Ding Yi's soldiers and horses were guarding the city, so he hurriedly called Ding Yi.

Ding Yi looked puzzled: "Wu Sangui wants to come over to carry the guns. His father was also the commander-in-chief at any rate. I can't stop him. I want to report to the adults, but I'm afraid that the adults will make it difficult."

Zhu Dadian thought so too, Ruo Ding Yi stopped Wu Sangui, and then came to ask him, will the cannon be given to him?Give it to Zhu Dadian, if it is against the rules, don’t give it, you will offend the Liaodong Cavalry.

"General Ding Shen, it's hard for you, but you still know how to do things." Zhu Dadian thought about it and patted Ding Yi's shoulder lightly.

But this guy was also greedy, and he found Wu Xiang afterwards, which meant that these artillery pieces belonged to the court and needed to be distributed by the Ministry of War.

Wu Xiang had prepared it long ago, so he stuffed a few silver bills into his hands, Mr. Zhu, please forgive me.

The two looked at each other and smiled, one didn't say how many cannons they transported, the other thought the other had transported a lot of cannons.

Finally, after Gao Chaoqian and Zhu Dadian counted, Dengzhou still had four Hongyi cannons from the government and army, and more than 100 other artillery pieces.

Zhu Dadian brought all the Hongyi cannons back to Jinan, took away another 69 cannons, and left [-] other cannons in Dengzhou.
