Chapter 8: Sneaking into Lushun(2/2)

But Xia Yuanzhang will go to Yuanbao Town to settle down with Lao Zhu's family in the future.

This favor has value, and the favor must be given in the open.

After drifting at sea for another two days, the ship finally docked.

"Sister-in-law, your family has helped me save my life, so please come with me to Port Arthur." After arriving on the shore, Xia Yuanzhang, who was still kicking his money bag, resumed his calmness as a business owner:

"My old father is also in Yuanbao Town. After Lushun is resettled, I will accompany you to Yuanbao Town, just to see my old father."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Zhu Wei thought for a moment and then agreed.

None of Lao Zhu's family has ever been to Guandong and is not familiar with the place.

With Xia Yuanzhang, a local snake who traveled all over the country, helping to lead the way, of course there was no reason to refuse.

"Shopkeeper Xia, Mao Zi and Ri Ri are at war, and Lushun is also in danger. We'd better hurry up and get on our way."

Although Xia Yuanzhang is a businessman, he is not a black-hearted businessman.

Honesty comes first and one can repay kindness, so Zhu Chuanwen chose sincerity and reminded Xia Yuanzhang that his family was in danger.

"Chuangwen, what are you worried about?"

"These idiots come to Qing Dynasty just to make a fortune. What do you think they will do when they arrive in Lushun..."

Thinking that his own large business was obviously a fat sheep, Xia Yuanzhang immediately changed his expression: "Originally, I was thinking of hiring a carriage. If I'm in a hurry, I can only ride a horse."

"No problem, Chuanwu and I can both ride horses."

There are two people, Zhu Chuanwen and Chuanwu, who can ride horses, enough to take three people, Zhu Wei, Xian'er and Chuanjie with them.

"Then please send a message. You can go to the city first and rent some horses."

Xia Yuanzhang took out a money bag and said.

After wandering around on the boat for twenty days, except for Zhu Chuanwen and Chuanwu, their energy seemed to be okay.

Everyone else is out of status.

Obviously, only one of Zhu Chuanwen or Chuanwu could do such a thing as renting horses in the city.

After docking, we were actually not far from Lushun City.

After getting the horses, it only took one day to reach the outskirts of Lushun.

Xia Yuanzhang took Lao Zhu's family and stopped at a farmhouse on the outskirts of Lushun.

"Shopkeeper, why did you run out alone? Where are your family members?"

The old man welcomed by the farmhouse obviously had a certain relationship with Xia Yuanzhang.

"Don't mention it, I just came back from Hainan and haven't returned to the city yet."

Hainan in this word refers to Shandong in the south of the Bohai Bay, and Haibei refers to the area in Guandong.

"It's okay that you're not in the city, shopkeeper. I've been worried about you these days. The army has surrounded Lushun and has been bombarding it with artillery for several days. The city is about to be destroyed."

"No, I want to go back."

After Xia Yuanzhang stopped, he wanted to go to the city to find his family.

Zhu Chuanwen felt that Xia Yuanzhang was quite shrewd.

But I don’t have a big picture view, I can’t see the general trend clearly, and I don’t have money, so I have to live in Lushun.

In the era of war and chaos, although port cities like Lushun were the only ice-free port in the north, they were very large cities and had many business opportunities.

But this kind of battleground for military strategists has the greatest chance of war.

Xia Yuanzhang does not seem to be a greedy person, and he still makes this choice. It can only be said that businessmen really cannot resist the temptation of profits.

"Shopkeeper Xia, you don't have the strength to restrain a chicken. Not to mention that you can't enter the city, but what can you do if you enter the city?"

Zhu Chuanwen stopped Xia Yuanzhang who was about to leave. The old Zhu family really needed this humanoid navigation system, but they couldn't give it away in vain.

"Brother Chuanwen, can you help me? I heard from Chuanjie that you can deal with more than a dozen bandits single-handedly."

This kind of old fritter, chatting with Chuanjie, revealed most of the background of Lao Zhu's family.

"Give me your home address, and while the city is in ruins and chaos, I'll see if I can sneak in and help you get your family out."

Zhu Chuanwen agreed to Xia Yuanzhang's entry into Lushun City.

Helping Xia Yuanzhang pick up his family was only a small part of the reason.

After the most important thing was to dock, Zhu Chuanwen also figured out that it was Xiaoli who bombarded him at Dalian Port.

Without this tone, Zhu Chuanwen felt unhappy.

"Pass the message, if you can take out my family members, Xia will definitely reward you generously."

Xia Yuanzhang gave Zhu Chuanwen a bow at that time.

"Let's not talk about whether we should repay or not. You can help my mother and the others get settled first."

Zhu Chuanwen was not looking forward to Xia Yuanzhang's return.

But Lao Zhu's family, after taking a boat for so long and riding a horse for a day, really needed some repairs.

No matter how anxious he was, Xia Yuanzhang could only settle down the old Zhu family first.

"Brother Chuanwen, there's going to be a war in Lushun, why do you still want to go to the city?"

Xian'er was worried, and Mrs. Zhu Wei also looked at Zhu Chuanwen with burning eyes.

"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. If nothing can be done, I will naturally retreat."

Zhu Chuanwen explained to the two people.

"idiot."

"Eight you fucking eight."

Zhu Chuanwen rushed in time, but it can't be said to be in time.

It was still a little early, and it was not yet dark when we arrived outside Lushun. It was only after dark that Zhu Chuanwen came across a lonely day.

After fighting for a day, I got a set of Sun Soldier skins and lurked outside the city.

A set of cotton clothes, a military coat, a pair of leather boots, a utility bag, a water bottle, a set of luggage, and a pair of leggings.

There is also a Type 30 rifle with a bayonet, three ammunition boxes, eighteen magazines, and a total of ninety rounds of ammunition.

The Type 30 rifle in Japan is actually a modern rifle, the predecessor of the famous 38-type rifle.

Although due to my poor physical condition as a child, I couldn't withstand the recoil of the classic 7.62mm bullet, so I used a 6.5x50mm bullet, which was a little less lethal.

But in this era, it's actually quite useful, the recoil is a little smaller, and the accuracy is actually pretty good.

In terms of equipment, Maozi still has a certain advantage, so he waited and bombarded for another hour.

On that day, the city gates were opened and the city of Lushun was invaded.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Zhu Chuanwen sneaked into Lushun City and went straight to Xia Yuanzhang's house.

I met Maozi and Ganmaozi, and I met Tiangantian. Anyway, there was no good thing.
