Of course, now he does not doubt Yang Zhen's loyalty and courage in history.

He just felt that Yang Zhenming's approach in history, knowing that there were tigers in the mountains and heading to the tiger mountains, was completely like a person who knew that death was coming but regarded death as if he were home and was happy with it.

He can't do this.

Perhaps the person in history, after experiencing countless bloody battles and intrigues, already knew the outcome on the day he was ordered to set off, and already felt the sadness of seeing the building collapse but being unable to do anything.

However, Yang Zhen doesn't want to die yet, or in other words, he doesn't want to die like this, he doesn't want to die knowingly.

Whether it was a coincidence, an arrangement from heaven, or other unknown strange forces and chaos, in short, since he came to this parallel time and space, he must play a role in changing history in this parallel time and space.

Nowadays, pretending to be sick is a fool's errand. He can't take it, and it won't work, unless he keeps pretending to be unconscious.

Then all that is left is to accept the destiny and try to survive from death.

So after failing to meet with Zu Dashou and the governor of Liaodong yesterday, he returned to the camp outside the east gate. He used his status as deputy general of Ningyuan to ask his subordinates Li Lu and Zhang Degui to ask for help under the banner of his deputy general.

Grandpa told grandma and borrowed more than a dozen types of individual firearms, large and small, from Ningyuan Arms Depot and Car Camp equipment.

Historically, Yang Zhen was born in a Weisuo family, and his ancestors had been hereditary commanders of the Guangning Houtun Guards for more than two hundred years.

After he was born, he lived in troubled times, so he joined the army since he was a child. He had a rich family and experienced many battles, so he has always been known for his proficiency in riding and shooting.

But now Yang Zhen knows very clearly that in the current crisis, no matter how strong his personal riding and shooting skills are, he can't compete with the overwhelming cavalry and arrow rain of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty.

The only chance to help him survive now is to make full use of the existing firearms and equipment in Ningyuan City.

Therefore, starting from this early morning, Yang Zhen sent his people with their own flags to the Chinese Military Management Office of the Ningyuan General Military Mansion to say hello and report, and then played in the East Gate Primary School Ground.

We tried out various firearms and firearms on a ping-pong basis.

What kind of fire gun, divine gun, bird gun, kidnapper's gun, five thunder machine, divine fire flying crow, and nine-headed bird, three-eyed gun, thunder gun, four-eyed iron gun, these can be tried out in the small school field in the city.

Yang Zhen tried them one by one.

There are also some things that cannot be tried directly in small schools in the city, such as the small folan machine, the enemy of ten thousand people, and the continuous gun.

There are also a wide variety of ignited throwing firearms from the late Ming Dynasty, such as relatively primitive mines, such as stone mines, ceramic mines, pig iron mines, and Dragon King cannons.

These firearms are either extremely troublesome to load, or pose great danger to the users themselves, or they are too noisy and can easily cause adverse effects in Ningyuan City, and can also easily cause damage to small schools, so Yang Zhen did not dare to

try out.

However, judging from the ones he has tried, except for the relatively common matchlock gun, which has room for improvement, from early morning to noon, three hours later, Yang Zhen still has not found a way to simply modify it.

Change it, something that can help him turn things around.

As for the so-called four-eyed iron spear that he once placed some hope in, after firing it this time, he was also disappointed.

The power of the four-eyed iron gun is slightly stronger than that of the three-eyed gun. However, although the "four-eyed iron gun" is called a gun, it is not essentially different from the three-eyed gun. It is just a little longer, bigger, and has one more gun

The gun barrel, after being filled with gunpowder and bullets, can be used as a long weapon.

At noon on the first day of March, Yang Zhen finished shooting the four-eyed iron gun with great hope. He was a little discouraged, with a look of disappointment on his face. He put down the four-eyed iron gun in his hand, sighed, and looked at

Zhang Degui, who was accompanying him, said:

"Brother Zhang! Our Ningyuan City has never been captured by the Tatars. Are all the firearms accumulated over ten years like this?!"

After hearing what Yang Zhen said, the middle-aged stalwart man named Zhang Degui quickly bowed and bowed. He did not mention the firearms, but said seriously: "Sir, please don't call me humble position like that! Call me humble brother, and you should never take a humble position!"

"When I was still in Guangning City, I swore to follow the old commander to the death. It has been seventeen years now! Now the old commander is no longer there, Guangning City is no longer there, and Yiju City is no longer there, but your Excellency is still there.

ah!

"As long as your Excellency is here, we have a master, and the imperial court cannot withdraw us. We will still be there! As long as the back guards are still there, our rules of respect and inferiority must not be messed with!"

"If the rules are violated, and the commander does not think he is the commander, and the thousands households do not think they are thousands households, then are we still the guards in the rear?"

When Yang Zhen heard this tongue twister, he was speechless and scratched his head anxiously.

However, when he looked at Zhang Degui's dark, scarred, and vicissitudes of face, he didn't know what to say.

Now, he already knew that during his coma, the man who knelt beside his bed and cried several times, talking about past events, was none other than Zhang Degui, who was over forty and was born in Guangning Houtunwei.

.

Yang Zhen now does not know when his predecessor inherited the command of the Guangning Houtun Guard.

However, in Ningyuan City, his customs defense flag clearly read "Liaodong Dusi Guangning Houton Guard Commander Chong Ningyuan Lieutenant General Yang".

This shows that the previous commander of Guangning Houtunwei, his father, the previous head of the Yang family of Guangning Houtunwei, is no longer here.

Since the Apocalypse, there have been so many wars in Liaodong. In which year Yang Zhen's father died and in which war, the current Yang Zhen has no way of knowing.

But what he is very sure of is that the group of old soldiers and servants around him who came from Guangning Houtunwei are the foundation for him to continue to survive in this troubled world.

There are now less than 200 of these people, and some are old, some are young, some are injured, some are disabled, but they have been fighting for the rest of their lives and they are all fierce soldiers.

Yang Zhen was in a hurry to see all the individual firearms in stock in Ningyuan City. He had neither the time nor the mood to dwell on the old memories of the Guangning rear guard.

What's more, I am not familiar with those old events, so it would be bad if any flaws were discovered.

Seeing that Zhang Degui was serious about these details of superiority and inferiority, he quickly changed the subject and said, "Where is Li Lu? Where has Li Lu gone? Why has he not been seen for a long time? Are there any other firearms that he can take advantage of?"

"Lord Xie Zhen! Li Lu went to Marshal Zu's residence to borrow firearms from Zu Keyong! Before I took up my post, I heard that when Marshal Zu was guarding Ningyuan in the first few years, he got the old foundation from Ningyuan Cheying Arsenal.

We have a batch of Lumi guns made in the Wanli year! No one has ever seen them, but I heard that they are all under the command of Marshal Zu now, and are under the control of Commander Zu Keyong, who is under the command of Commander Zu!"

The person who answered Yang Zhen was Zhang Degui. He then whispered: "Zu Keyong - General Zu, is the nephew of Marshal Zu. He is currently the general of the Chinese army under Marshal Zu, and he is quite trusted by Marshal Zu."

Heavy!"

Zu Keyong is from the Ningyuan ancestral family, but he belongs to the small sect and distant branch of the Ningyuan ancestral family.

In the spring and March of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, during the battle to rescue Songshan, Commander-in-Chief Zu sent him to Jinzhou to deliver a message, so he followed Yang Zhen.

However, after Yang Zhen was injured and captured, he eventually died in this battle. However, after Zu Keyong was captured, there was no more news and he disappeared into history.

When Yang Zhen read that period of history in later generations, he once suspected that after being captured, 99.99% of Zu Keyong surrendered.

After all, at that time, a large number of brothers and nephews from the Zu Dashou family had surrendered to the Manchus and held official positions in the Manchus. Therefore, it was entirely possible that Zu Keyong chose to surrender after being captured.

As for Zu Keyong's disappearance after his surrender, the reason may be that this man still had good conscience. Although he surrendered after fighting hard and was captured, he did not choose to serve the Manchus.

At this moment, Yang Zhen heard Zhang Degui's words and knew that Li Lu went to Zu Keyong to ask for the legendary Lumi gun, and his heart rekindled hope.

But he was not at ease, and frowned and said to Zhang Degui: "Zu Keyong and I are not close friends. Li Lu went to find Zu Keyong under my banner. Zu Keyong may not see him, but even if he does,

You may not be able to borrow it for use!”

Zhang Degui looked at Yang Zhen doubtfully and said, "Did Mr. Xiezhen forget? That boy Li Lu saved Zu Keyong's life!"

"Oh?! - Ouch! Look, I completely forgot about this! This time I fell from a horse and hurt my head. Many things happened in the past, but now I am a little confused and can't remember them clearly!"

Yang Zhen heard Zhang Degui's words this time and immediately felt relieved. He held his head and smiled bitterly, while using these words to cover up his embarrassment: "That's good! That's good! Multiple friends, multiple paths -

"

Yang Zhen was talking when he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He turned around and saw a young and strong man wearing a helmet and armor. He dismounted at the gate of the small school ground, threw the reins to the soldiers on duty at the gate, and took them off the horse.

He held something like a shotgun with both hands and walked happily and quickly.

"Sir! Li Lu is back! It looks like he borrowed it!"
Chapter completed!
