Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Covenant Moves on the Sea

In the cabin, Li Qin and Mrs. Dongming secretly discussed for half an hour, and finally decided on this transaction and cooperation:

Li Qin's side supplied one million catties of crude steel to the Dongming faction at a price of seven per catty, which was one of them;

The Dongming faction sent 100 sword craftsmen and 100 shipbuilders to serve under Li Qin for three years, instructing Li Qin to build relevant weapons and ships.

The Dongming faction and Li Qin's alliance against the Haisha faction was the third. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two parties agreed that after defeating the Haisha faction, the materials in the Haisha faction, such as copper, iron, timber and other materials, would be owned by the Dongming faction, and the existing gang property, sea salt and other items of the Haisha faction, as well as the original gang of the Haisha faction, would all be owned by Li Qin.

As the price for Li Qin to get more booty, Li Qin will provide 500,000 catties of crude steel to the Dongming faction for free.

This is half of the annual supply that Li Qin originally planned to sell to the Dongming faction, but it is crude steel worth 8.5 million guan, and at this time, Li Qin's mouth was closed and the profit was given to Mrs. Dongming for free.

Mrs. Dongming was satisfied with this. But she didn't expect that Li Qin's annual steel output was not one million catties or two million catties, but a full 500,000 tons, which was also one billion catties of steel.

This is an extremely terrifying output, even if Li Qin asks Dongming to send some to help sell some, Li Qin still has a piece of the boss left in his hand. If so much steel is not consumed, it will pile up, and I am afraid that it will affect the mood of everyone in the steel plant.

People want to be recognized by others.

"So...... I still have headaches. Li Qin muttered to himself in his heart, and his face under the mask showed a trace of bitterness.

While others are suffering from a lack of weapons, Li Qin is worried about too much steel.

This is more or less a happy annoyance.

How to solve this trouble, it is absolutely necessary to wait for Li Qin to deal with the three gangs in the East China Sea, and then return to Dangtu to discuss.

That's for later.

As for the task at hand, it is natural to defeat the Haisha Gang first.

The Haisha Gang attacked the giant ship of the Dongming faction, relying on a conspiracy. And conspiracy is a tactic that is easy to deal with once it is said.

While Lady Dongming ordered her subordinates to be on guard to prevent the Haisha Gang from raiding, she also signaled contact with Li Qinding.

"Once the call is issued, are you sure you'll be able to come to support within an hour?" Taking the signal baton handed to her by Li Qin, Mrs. Dongming was still a little hesitant.

"I have sent 8,000 people to wait in Tianzhu Mountain, and they will soon be transferred to the area of Phoenix Mountain, which is very close to Yuhang City. Once you call the bullet, it's definitely enough for me to come over there. Li Qin nodded in reassurance.

"That's great!" Mrs. Dongming was relieved.

The matter was decided, and the two said goodbye.

Li Qin looked for Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong on the giant ship, led them swaggering off the boat, walked to the Phoenix Mountain outside the city, put on makeup again, and returned to the Baixiang Pavilion with a new look.

In the secret room of Baixiang Pavilion, Li Qin asked Zhang Pingfan to send a message to Maoshan Town and Xuancheng Town, who were waiting in Tianzhu Mountain, to move to the Phoenix Mountain area and lurk in the mountains.

Judging from the fact that the Haisha Gang dared to unceremoniously confront the Dongming faction today, the Haisha faction's surprise attack on the Dongming faction must have been in the past few days.

Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for the Haisha Gang, who were afraid of the Dongming faction, to become so brave all of a sudden.

"Anyway...... In the past few days, we must pay close attention to the monitoring of the Haisha Gang. Li Qin reminded Zhang Pingfan again.

"Yes!" In the secret room, Zhang Pingfan also changed his usual hippie smile and became serious.

He walked away like a ball. After he left, Li Qin also disposed of his two apprentices.

On the giant ship, in front of outsiders, Li Qin naturally stood guard for his apprentice and took care of everything. But after returning to the Baixiang Pavilion, if they didn't reprimand the two of them for their mistakes today, wouldn't it make them more and more emboldened.

So, Li Qin stared at the two coldly, pondered for a while, and quickly made a decision: "Copy the Tao Te Ching for me ten times!" Done in one day! You are not allowed to eat if you don't copy it! ”

"Ten times?" Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong couldn't help but feel numb in their scalps.

"That's too much! Master...... And it's not us who mess with them today. Kou Zhong argued.

"I didn't say you were wrong to be enemies of the Seasand Gang. The Sand Gang is targeting you, that's something I expected for a long time. I punish you only because your actions today have exposed the inadequacy of your own mind. You have only been practicing martial arts for a few months and you are thinking about becoming a master of the rivers and lakes, when did the masters of the rivers and lakes become so worthless. Li Qin looked at them coldly.

"Maybe you have the strength, but the actual combat power ...... You'll need to practice a little more. Speaking of this, Li Qin sighed: "Copy the book well, and then be shocked to practice martial arts...... From tomorrow onwards, I will be your sparring partner. ”

"Tricks? Master, don't you have the intention of deliberately beating us? Kou Zhong said tentatively.

"It shouldn't be......" Xu Ziling quietly pulled Kou Zhong's sleeve.

"I'm not that bored." Li Qin said, walking to a corner of the secret room and meditating.

"Okay!" Since the master said so, it was also the final punishment for himself, Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong couldn't avoid it, so they had to sigh, spread out the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and splash ink on the rice paper that was as smooth as snow.

Time passed in the two of them gradually calming down and copying the scriptures, during which Zhang Pingfan entered to inform Li Qin of the latest news about the Haisha Gang: "The Haisha Gang has decided to raid the Piaoxiang when the moon is full in three days. ”

"From the sea?" Li Qin asked in surprise.

"Yes! According to the information I received, the Haisha Gang mobilized 20 sea eagle boats and a group of fishing boats from the Jiangdu area as the main force for the battle. They seemed to have the idea of taking advantage of the Piaoxiang to go north, and carried out a halfway interception. Zhang Pingfan replied seriously: "According to the practice of previous years, Piaoxiang will leave Hong Kong this afternoon and go north...... That's what they did. ”

"Naval battles, moonlit night raids? Their calculations are really good. If the battle takes place at sea, the defeat of the Piaoxiang itself is considered a victory. The sea is vast, once the giant ship sinks, how can the martial arts of the people of the Piaoxiang be no matter how high they are? Not bad, really good. Li Qin stroked his hands and laughed.

After just laughing, he shook his head one after another: "Their calculations are all based on the practice of leaving the Piaoxiang on time, as long as the Piaoxiang does not leave, their calculations will definitely come to naught." This battle will never break out at sea. ”

Li Qin said affirmatively.

Why?

Because Li Qin and Mrs. Dongming already have their own plans.

So, when the Piaoxiang should go north, the Piaoxiang still stayed in Yuhang Port honestly. There was no sign of anchoring until late evening.

The people of the Haisha Gang knew that the situation had changed, and hurriedly reported the news to the gang leader Han Gaitian.

Han Gaitian was taken aback, he didn't expect that the conspiracy he had set had been exposed, but thought that the Dongming faction had other reasons and stayed at Yuhang Wharf.

What to do?

Han Gaitian gritted his teeth!

At this point, it's impossible to let it go.

Since the people of the Dongming faction did not dare to go north, Han Gaitian planned to place the battlefield in Yuhang Bay and even Yuhang Port.

"As long as we can win the Piaoxiang, even if there is anything wrong with Yuhangcheng, we can recover with the support of the Yuwen Valve." Han Gaitian said decisively.

The support of Yuwen Valve, this is the greatest confidence for him to dare to do something to Piaoxiang.

All plans remain the same!

Han Gaitian's order came down, and the gang everyone understood.

Li Qin's side naturally knew about it.

At that moment, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Since the enemy planned to do a battle with the Dongming faction in the port, then the eight thousand men in Li Qin's hands could come in handy.

This is Li Qin's luck.

The days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Haisha Gang's operation.

In the first half of the night, everything was as usual, and in the second half of the night, Li Qin clearly heard a chaotic sound of footsteps sounding in the streets and alleys of Yuhang County.

The Seasand Gang has sent troops.

Their siege of the Dongming faction began.

The gangs were not armies, and they did not have their own camps in the city to assemble, but used the houses, inns, and warehouses in the city as strongholds for rally.

It also takes time to assemble from the city to the port area.

As a gang, the speed at which they assembled was not very fast, and the movement caused was not small.

Most of Yuhangcheng was in an uproar because of this.

"Alas...... Didn't you clearly tell the people of the Dongming faction that I was going to beat you! Li Qin shook his head in disappointment.

Originally, he thought that he could see a clean raid, but he didn't want the execution ability of the Seasand Gang to be so poor.

"It seems that to describe them as a rabble is still an insult to the rabble." Li Qin sighed, and immediately found Zhang Pingfan and told him: "Pass the order!" Let the brothers near the gates act. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Pingfan nodded, and his ball-like body floated out so gently.

He sent someone to inform Li Qin's men who were secretly lurking in the city -- these days Li Qin had secretly introduced 500 people from Xuancheng into the city with Zhang Pingfan's cooperation and hid in the houses near the city gate.

These houses are all properties purchased by Zhang Pingfan secretly, although they are not very luxurious, but fortunately, they occupy a large area, and they are used to hide soldiers.

In Li Qin's plan, the action of the Haisha Gang is a signal of the beginning, and after this signal is launched, his own people will first control the city gate of Yuhang City, and then attack the port and stab the chrysanthemum of the Haisha Gang.

"Hehe, Han Gaitian's actions are so big, he must have thought that he would definitely succeed." Standing by the window of the study outside the secret room, looking at the Haisha Gang gang members who kept running and passing under the window, Li Qin felt the evil aura from them at the same time, he was also secretly feeling sad for Han Gaitian.

The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind.

Han Gaitian always thought that he could successfully raid the Piaoxiang, kill the people inside, and get what he wanted to ask his master for credit, but he didn't want his calculations to be seen through, and he became the target of others.

This is his lack of intelligence, and his misfortune.
