Chapter 17 The Ironworks were rebuilt
"Young master, just now you said that not only Brother Li wants to stay in Jiangzhou, but even me and Gao Yuan want to stay here, does the young master want to go to Jinling with Xiao Moke alone?" Zhou Chao on the side finally couldn't help but ask Xiao Yao.
"Yes, because I decided to rebuild the ironworks! It's right here in Jiangzhou! So Zhou Chao Gaoyuan, you all have to stay in Jiangzhou! Xiao Yao said with certainty!
"The Ironworks? Could it be the ironwork that was destroyed by the explosion? The weapons produced there are all high-quality weapons, and those glazed objects are rare treasures! "Li An is the head snake of Xunyang County, and this is the only way for merchants from the two countries, so I have long heard of the legend of the Gangneung Iron Workshop.
"The Xiao family's iron workshop was created by me and blown up by me! I just said that I want to restore the Liang country, but I am not joking, perfunctory to you! If you want to restore the country, you must first have money, you must have people, and finally you must have weapons! So I decided to rebuild the ironworks right here! Xiao Yao patted Li Ang's shoulder and said to him with a smile.
"Well, Jiangzhou has convenient waterways, and merchant ships from all over the world pass through here, which is indeed a good place, and the Li family father and son are people of prestige in Jiangzhou, which is also convenient for us to develop here." Zhou Chao is a smart person, and when he heard Xiao Yao say it, he understood.
"Could it be that the young master is preparing to use Jiangzhou as our starting place? Although our father and son have some fame in Jiangzhou and can respond to all calls, but in the past few years, the population of Jiangzhou is not much, and it is difficult to succeed with Jiangzhou's soldiers and horses alone! Ang Lee voiced his concerns.
"Brother Li misunderstood what I meant, and the purpose of reopening the iron workshop in Jiangzhou is only to produce weapons and accumulate money. As for the soldiers and horses, hehe, I didn't call Xiao Moke a stepfather for nothing. Xiao Yao said confidently.
"Xiao Moke? Do you want to enter the army, young master, and then seize power? "Father Li has been a general and has mastered military power, and he guessed what Xiao Yao meant.
"That's right! At that time, Chen Baxian was a general of the Great Liang, and only because he held military power in his hands could he rebel and become the emperor! Xiao Moke is a famous general of Chen Guo, this time back to Beijing should be related to the war, after I worship Xiao Moke as my father-in-law, I can justifiably follow him into the army, and then take the opportunity to seize military power, then things will be much simpler. Xiao Yao said his plan.
"Well, this plan is good, but the young master, you go to Jinling alone, I'm still a little worried, let Gao Yuan follow you, reopen the iron workshop in Jiangzhou, just have me and the Li family's father and son." Zhou Chao was still a little worried about letting Xiao Yao go to Jinling alone.
"Yes, young master, let me be by your side to protect you." Gao Yuan, who didn't talk much, also spoke.
"Don't worry, although I go to Jinling alone, but I will definitely be as safe as Mount Tai, the person who can calculate me today has not yet been born, but you are in Jiangzhou, it is not a simple matter to rebuild the iron workshop! And Gao Yuan, you also have a mission, you have to help me train a special forces! Xiao Yao looked at Gao Yuan and said.
"Special forces?" When everyone heard this term for the first time, they looked at Xiao Yao in puzzlement.
"It is a unit that can use one enemy and a hundred, can use any weapon with swords, guns, swords, sticks, kills, kidnaps, poisoned and assassinated, and practiced medicine to save people! The most important thing is absolute loyalty to me, even if I want them to die, they can't hesitate! Xiao Yao said fiercely.
"That's right, to achieve great things, we must have an elite army loyal to us, the Iron Eagle Guards of the Qin State, and the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry of Cao Cao, all of them are the elite of the elite!" When it comes to the military, Daddy Li is very good.
"So how do we set up this force? Pick from the defenders? Ang Lee asked.
"No, now we can't meddle in the affairs of the army openly, so we take the iron workshop as the mainstay, develop it as a sect, preach and teach, and then spread ten, ten to hundred, and establish our own strength, when the time comes, thousands of disciples and grandchildren will respond, haha, great things will be done!" The more Xiao Yao spoke, the more confident he became.
"The young master's method is good, when the Yellow Turban Uprising occurred, the Zhang brothers also established the sect of Taiping Dao, recruiting hundreds of thousands of sect members!" Ang Lee was also excited.
"Of course, most of the people nowadays are not educated, and those who are smart and know how to read can already become officials, so if we want to succeed, we must use these stupid people to deal with stupid people, and we can only hypnotize them in the form of religion to make them feel that everything is right." Xiao Yao suddenly remembered this classic line.
"Missionary recruitment is indeed a good way to win people's hearts, and with the reputation of General Li's father and son in this area of Jiangzhou, our sect should be established soon!" Zhou Chao also nodded in approval.
"So now we are divided into two ways: I will follow Xiao Moke to Jinling alone, looking for an opportunity to enter the army. And you will stay in Jiangzhou, Zhou Chao is responsible for rebuilding the iron workshop, recruiting disciples, and Gao Chao will select loyal people among the disciples to train secretly and become our secret weapon! As for General Li, he wanted to use his reputation and position in Jiangzhou to win over the gentry, win the hearts of the people, and assist in the reconstruction of the iron workshop! And I would suggest that Xiao Moke recommend Brother Li as the Taishou of Xunyang County, and when the time comes, you can justifiably build Jiangzhou into a base that belongs to us. Xiao Yao said his whole plan.
"This matter, since the young master has decided, we won't say more, then the young master, are you going to follow Xiao Moke and them to Jinling together?" Zhou Chao asked.
"No, there are a lot of things that we need to discuss and plan carefully, and I can't leave right away. I have already told Wuhua that the master has nurtured me, and I can't just leave, so let them go back to Jinling first, and I will stay in Jiangzhou and arrange these things before going to Jinling to find them. Xiao Yao already has his own plans.
"Haha, it seems that the young master has made up his mind and arranged everything! I really admire the young master now, no wonder Master Zhou and Brother Gao are obedient to the young master's words, after listening to the young master's plan just now, I think it is seamless, and it will definitely succeed when the time comes! Ang Lee also began to pat Xiao Yao's ass.
"That's right, the young master is really talented and intelligent, and his thinking is quick, no wonder the Julong Gang was wiped out by the young master in a few clicks! Ha ha! With a descendant like the young master, Emperor Wu has knowledge and can rest assured. Father Li also praised.
"Haha, when did Daddy Li become so oily? Now it is not even the first step of a journey of a thousand miles, and we will need to unite to succeed in the future! Only the five of us know about tonight, and after tonight, I will still be Shiro, and you will still be my old General Li and Brother Li! Don't let anyone see any clues. Xiao Yao admonished.
"Yes!" The four of them knelt down in unison, saluted Xiao Yao and said.
