Chapter 63 Appalling
Gao Chong and Liu Zhuo waited at the door of the arsenal for a long time, but they didn't see anyone inside coming out. Gao Chong knew that something must have happened here, so he frowned.
"What a thief! You dare to play tricks on me! Let's go in and take a look!" Behind Liu Zhuo was Gao Gongtai from Bozhou, who was also the general of the royal relatives. He was not afraid of heaven or earth, and even in Kaifeng, he was crossed, so he shouted and killed him directly.
"Hey, who are you? This is a warehouse-heavy place, and outsiders are not allowed to go in!" The two guards came forward and wanted to stop them, but they were grabbed by Liu Zhuo and pierced and fell to their heads and blood.
Gao Chong smiled coldly and followed closely behind. A group of them rushed into the treasury with a whistle.
"Gao Chong, you are so brave. You dare to break into the arsenal and injure the custodian. Are you guilty?" Dong Wen, dressed in a green suit, rushed out from inside, followed by eight custodians behind him. This guy was a little angry and pointed at Gao Chong and shouted.
Gao Chong finally knew the reason for the incident, and he sneered: "Dong Wen, listen well, first of all, we are not going to force the arsenal. I have the approval from the chief minister here. I came to extract the military ordination to train the volunteers. And you said that the one who injured the custodian was Liu Zhuo, and I just followed him to watch the fun."
Dong Wen snorted and said, "I have seen the approval document. Now our inventory is relatively tight, and even the Xiangjun is not enough. After I report to Lord Tongzhi, I will see if there is any remaining one to you."
"Mr. Chief Secretary can already promise me that he is responsible for military equipment, defense and robbery. This matter cannot be used to worry about Lord Tongzhi. Where is the Cangtou? Hurry up and count the supplies for me."
A small official behind him shivered all over. He secretly glanced at Dong Wen, but finally didn't move. Gao Chong smiled slightly and said, "Dong Wen, you are not obeying the order. I am right wherever you fight this lawsuit!" As he said that, he looked at Liu Zhuo.
Liu Zhuo laughed, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, Dong Wen, you dare to resist the orders. Don't blame me for being rude!" As he said that, he stepped forward to get Dong Wen with great strides.
Although Dong Wen was cunning, he was not very quick. When he saw him rushing up, he was panicked and just kept calling the surrounding custodians to come up to stop him.
These treasury officials could not stop Liu Zhuo, and he knocked him to the ground with three punches and two kicks. Dong Wen wanted to escape, but he couldn't compare to Liu Zhuo's body. He was so angry that he almost fainted when he grabbed it and took it with one punch.
Liu Zhuo was merciless and fisted twice. Gao Chong looked at Dong Wen's face ashen, his mouth and nose were bleeding, and even his teeth were lost several times. He was afraid that Liu Zhuo would hurt his life and stopped him quickly.
"Brother, even though this guy disobeys his order, he will not die. Let's spare his life first. Let's go and get the weapons!"
Liu Zhuo snorted coldly and threw Dong Wen to the ground, saying, "It's just that brother is generous and spared your life; if I follow my personality, I will definitely beat you up with thousands of peach blossoms. Get out!"
Liu Zhuo threw Dong Wen's own lead and took Gao Chong and others into the arsenal. The arsenal is a wooden hanging mountaintop building; the maximum depth is 6 meters, the material is thick, and the building is firm. The wooden floor is laid indoors, about one foot or five inches higher than the ground, which is called a floor shed. There is a corridor in front of the warehouse and a brick-paved drying yard in the courtyard.
Gao Chong saw the word "Ar" written on the warehouse gate in front of him, and knew it was the warehouse of the city defense armor and protective gear. He waved his hand and pressed the warehouse head up and said, "Go, open the warehouse gate!"
Cangtoo dared not resist, so he took out the key and opened the warehouse door with fear. Gao Chong and others pushed the door in. As soon as they entered, Gao Chong frowned. It was empty inside and there was not much armor. The dust on the armor fell, and it seemed that no one had cleaned it.
"How many armor do you have here?" Gao Chong asked with a cold snorted.
Kurato looked at him tremblingly, and finally forced himself to say, "Our Zhending Arsenal has 300 iron armor, 3000 leather armor, and 10000 paper armor. They are all here."
Gao Chong glanced at him and found that the iron armor was only 100 yuan, the leather armor was less than 1,000 yuan, and the paper armor was less than 30%. It is said that the military deterioration of the Song Dynasty can be seen again.
"Don't you go fart! Have you bullied grandpa before? How could there be so many here? Did you hide all the good things? It seems that you won't be able to attack you if you don't hit you!" Liu Zhuo was furious and raised his arms again.
Gao Chong waved his hand slightly, then took out the approval document and said, "This is the approval document given to me by Lord Liu Yi. 1,000 sets of armor, please sign it!"
Kurato dared not refuse to agree, and trembled his bet on it. Gao Chong glanced at his subordinates and waved his hand and said, "Come on, move!" Everyone went straight to the iron armor.
When Kurato saw it, he was anxious and said, "Master! This is not possible. You village heroes should use paper armor, and these iron armors cannot be moved."
"Oh, then thank you Cangtou for giving me another 1,000 paper armor. This thing is light and just for use by the navy. Everyone is quick and move it quickly!" Everyone shouted: "Okay!" Then they asked to go and start robbing.
Kurato stomped his feet in a hurry and said, "What should I do? Let Xiao explain."
"Explanation? There are less than 30% of the supplies in it, and the rest have gone there? Why don't you think about how to explain it? Instead of covering these things here, just like I let them use the best of their own things!"
Kurato was now crying and there was Liu Zhuo watching from the side, and he didn't dare to stop him. He watched them put more than 100 sets of iron armor, 1,000 leather armor and 1,000 paper armor on the car.
"Go and see the weapons again." Gao Chong gave the order, and Liu Zhuo pressed Kurato and went to Hyogo again. The situation here is similar to that elsewhere, and the inventory is even smaller. Gao Chong asked him to sign a reply, and then took away 1,000 swords, guns and shields.
Then they were escorted to the bow and arrow warehouse. The court strictly managed bow and arrow, but the price of bow and arrow was higher, and there were no bow and arrows in it.
Gao Chong's face was already very bad, and even Liu Zhuo was a little reluctant to speak. Everyone knew that the Song army was slacking off in martial arts and dark in the officialdom, but they did not expect that it would reach this point.
Gao Chong originally gave face to these guys, but now seeing that they had no bottom line, he waved his hand and said, "Take it!". His subordinates rushed up all of a sudden and brought all these things into the cart.
Gao Chong and Liu Zhuo came out of the arsenal with a pressure on the head of the Cangtag. He turned his head and looked at the particularly tall arsenal in the middle, and saw a large instrument written on the door.
Gao Chong said in his heart: "Chuanto, open this door and let's take a look."
Cangto said with no expression on his face: "Master, this is a national prohibited product. I can't give it to the village army at all. I don't dare to sign it if I beat you to death. Moreover, most of the items inside are city guarding equipment, and you can't use it even if you take it!"
"It's okay, I just take a look; by the way, I'll see how brave you are."
Cang Tou's face was as white as paper, and he said tremblingly that he didn't dare to step forward. Liu Zhuo snorted coldly: "That guy, my brother asked you to open the door, but you dare not listen. It's really a beggar!"
"No! No! No! Please spare my life, will I take advantage of it? I'll drive it!" Cangtou saw Liu Zhuo raise his iron bowl-like fist and quickly agreed.
"Bang!" The door of the utensil was opened, and Gao Chong looked inside. Some items were placed inside.
"Tell me about their number. If you have any concealment, I will tell Lord Liu."
Cangtou almost didn't pee, and hurriedly said: "There should be storage of 5 catapult cars, 30 nest cars, 20 cloud ladders, 50 engineering ladders, hundreds of ropes, nooses..."
Gao Chong listened to his report coldly, and then looked at the warehouse that there were only 2 catapults and 8 nest cars, and these were all decayed, and they were all returned to repair them. There was not a single ladder, and the other things were very different.
This situation is no longer simply embezzlement. Who can these things be sold to? This is simply a stolen man and stolen country! For the sake of money, they really don’t want any bottom line.
"Hmph!" Gao Chong was in a very heavy mood. He snorted coldly, and then he and Liu Zhuo left the arsenal. Several large cars outside were filled with tarpaulins, and then they rumbled out of Zhending City.
Cangtou almost lost his energy and hurriedly ran to Dong Wen to discuss. Dong Wen listened to the report and gave the guy a mouthful, then shouted to find his elder brother Dong Cai.
"Brother, why keep that dog? As I said, I can chop him up with one knife. It will save him from going back and causing trouble. I am not afraid of him, but letting my grandfather know that I have to blame me for causing trouble again."
"Brother, don't worry! We have his scriptures in our hands, which are obtained according to the amount of 1,000; and we can say that the armor and weapons are what we have? How do we explain the guys like catapults and nest cars? We have the right to say that the world is coming.
Also, you might as well go back and mention the situation today with the Chief Secretary, so that he can prepare early, so as to save the Jin army from suffering a great loss. I think Chief Secretary will not only not blame you, but will also praise you."
Liu Zhuo grinned and said, "It's so great. This time I want the grandpa to look at us." Gao Chong laughed and urged the horse to rush forward.
As soon as they returned to Gaojia Town, the people inside had already received the news, and they all surrounded them with a whistle. Everyone saw Gao Chong get so many weapons and armor at once, and they all jumped up excitedly.
Gao Chong laughed and said, "Ziyi, these materials are to be distributed by you. However, this time there are 130 iron armors, and each person above the commander will be given one pair. Don't move the rest. I will prepare all the equipment for the Beiwei Army and build him into a strong soldier to overcome difficulties."
Liu Ziyi nodded and agreed, and first asked someone to put the supplies into the warehouse. He looked at Liu Zhuo and found that this guy was strong and looked like a powerful general. He smiled and said, "Shaojun, who is this hero? He is also a hero who wants to join our volunteer camp?"
