The spring breeze in February still carries some winter cold, but everyone on Ye Niangzi's boat is full of spring breeze, and everyone is talking about the great victory outside Dongtou Island.

"It's a pleasure, it's a pleasure! After a few cannons, the majestic Yuhuan Camp is gone! ”

"Now the entire Dongtou Island is our territory, Ye Niangzi, are we going to take Ruian County next!"

"Not only Ruian County, but hundreds of miles along the coast of Zhejiang will become our world!"

Ye Niangzi stood at the bow of the boat and answered everyone's questions with a smile: "Not only Zhejiang, but Fujian, we don't want it?" We now have thousands of brothers and dozens of boats, waiting for me and the fifth master to do a good job, even if we can't make a big deal, we can be recruited and mixed with the secular position of the capital guard! ”

She changed into a strong suit, and there were still some traces of guns and cannons on the whole ship, but now she was full of spirits, and his family members were on this sailboat, and she was the most relieved: "If the fifth master succeeds, all of you are generals and prime ministers!" ”

It's just that her eyes are always staring at the river, now there are more people, there are more ships, and people's hearts have changed a lot, and the fierce battle between Bisheng and the Yuhuan Camp has caused a lot of losses in Ge Mengjin's fleet, especially the high-grade gunpowder prepared for many years has been consumed by nearly half.

After breaking through the Yuhuan battalion, her fleet was already the same situation that Cai Lian was at sea back then, and there was still support on the shore, which was a greater threat to the Manchu Qing Dynasty than Cai Lian back then.

But since she dared to openly confront the sailors, she also has her own capital, since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom uprising, in order to counter the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's superiority on the water, the Manchu Qing Dynasty transferred most of the coastal sailors into the Yangtze River, so the strength of these sailor battalions along the coast is dilapidated, like the Yuhuan Battalion has two sailor battalions in name, with more than 900 soldiers.

However, in this battle, the Yuhuan battalion recruited more than 200 sailors from Taizhou, but it was only enough for 500 people, and there were few warships that were really usable.

After defeating the Yuhuan battalion, the entire Wenzhou coast has been controlled by her, and the Chinese and Western sailing ships in transit, no matter what flag they fly, have to offer their own obligations to Ge Wu's fleet, and then she and Ge Mengjin are ready to go one step further and defeat the Qing army and sailors in Zhoushan in one fell swoop.

As long as the Qing army and naval division in Zhoushan are broken, then the entire thousands of miles of ocean in Zhejiang and Fujian will be completely under the world of Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi, but before there, Ye Niangzi had to add more than a dozen fast guns and dozens of barrels of gunpowder.

"Five ladies! It's here! ”

No need to be reminded by her brothers, Ye Niangzi has clearly seen the Panshi Village, from her point of view, the 5,000 jin and 3,000 jin artillery of the Panshi Village have an extremely terrifying threat, and the black muzzle is aimed at the river, if the layman sees it, they think that these cannons are infinitely powerful.

It's just that Ye Niangzi knows very well that this cannon is a useless thing, and it is not even as good as the fast cannon on her own ship: "Play the banner of my fifth lady and tell Liu Inspector that my Ye Niangzi is here!" ”

The relationship between Wu Niangzi and Panshi Village has always been good, although the last time the Qing army attacked Panshi Village, Ge Wuye was suspected of not saving him when he saw death, and when he saw the Qing army retreating, he took advantage of the fire to rob, but this did not affect Liu Chang's dependence on Ye Niangzi and Ge Wu's fleet on the water.

Before Panshizhai could react, Wu Niangzi's sailboat had already raised a flower flag and sailed closer, and said to the village: "Liu Checkpoint, it's our Ye Niangzi who is here!" ”

Ye Niangzi had already seen Liu Chang's figure in the clairn mirror: "It's also interesting to check the point!" Brothers, get ready to go ashore, huh? ”

Her clairloom was a gift from an adventurer after saving a British adventurer at sea, and the clairloom made it clear inside and out of Rock Town.

This wasn't the depressed Rock Town she remembered!

People come and go, you can see wheelbarrows, big mules everywhere, men with a sense of courage everywhere, and salt bags coming in and out everywhere: "We haven't been to Panshi Village for a few days, and the private salt business of the inspection is so prosperous!" ”

It's not just as simple as a red fire, but when she got ashore, Ye Niangzi found that this has become the largest private salt distribution center along the coast of Zhejiang and Fujian, and there are red turban troops everywhere to maintain order, and there are not only private salts in and out, but all kinds of contraband controlled by the government can be bought here.

You can even buy a large amount of arms here, such as medicine, shotguns, guns, long knives, and short gifts, Liu Chang smiled and led the way in front and said: "Ye Niangzi, I picked up a lot of ordnance in Panshi Village last time, and there are just a lot of people who need this thing to protect their families, so they take it out and sell it, and the business is not bad!" ”

Ye Niangzi came to Panshi Village to buy a batch of black powder, and if she wanted to break through the Shuishi Zhoushan Town, she had to have a large amount of gunpowder, she said with a smile: "Check, your business here is booming, I also want to have fun and buy a large amount of gunpowder!" ”

"Gunpowder? No problem, no problem! Liu Chang agreed: "I seized a lot of black powder from the Qing Demon last time, and if Ye Niangzi opened her mouth, she would even out a large amount." ”

"No!" Ye Niangzi knew very well what she wanted: "Those are all inferior products made by the green camp, I want three thousand catties of granular gunpowder!" ”

Liu Chang took a breath of cold air, as soon as Ye Niangzi opened his mouth, it was three thousand catties of black powder, and it was also the best quality granular gunpowder, he shook his head and said: "Ye Niangzi, you make it difficult for me, I only bought dozens of barrels of granular gunpowder in front of me, a total of about 1,000 catties, and the Panshi Village consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight in one battle, and there are really not a few catties left!" Where did I find you these 3,000 catties of medicine? ”

Ye Niangzi swept Liu Chang, shook the flintlock short gun in her hand, and walked briskly: "Don't be humble in your inspection, you can already make your own granular gunpowder here, it is said that it is only a little inferior to the foreigners, it should be made by Captain Xian of the battalion team, right?" Besides, you bought so many barrels of black powder last time, and we played so many holes outside Dongtou Island, and we used less than half of them, so you used so many foreign guns? ”

Liu Chang didn't expect Ye Niangzi to be so shrewd, and immediately exposed his own details: "Ye Niangzi, you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are not at home, how many granular gunpowder can I produce here a day, Captain Xian rotates in a day, that is, he just makes five catties of granular black powder, which is not enough for half a barrel!" ”

This homemade granular gunpowder is also just made by washing in the past few days, and the daily output is only ten catties, but for Liu Chang, it has extraordinary significance - this is the beginning of the military industry.

"The training intensity on our side is high, and half a barrel of black powder is not enough for the whole army to test fire at one time." Liu Chang gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Niangzi, we have always been very happy to cooperate, what should I do if I balance your two buckets?" ”

"How can two barrels be enough! Check that you bought fifty barrels of black powder, and used up to ten barrels, how about the remaining forty barrels be divided into half of me, and I will buy it at double the price. ”

Before the battle of Dongtou, she and Ge Wuye thought that Liu Chang was a loser, and bought so many barrels of black powder in one go, and it was still at such a high price, but as soon as the war started, she found that Liu Chang's vision was much better than herself, and the granular gunpowder she had accumulated over the years was not enough to fight a sea battle.

Western iron cannons and granular gunpowder, but the biggest cost of her fleet to defeat the Manchu Shimizu division was to double the price and prepare a few more barrels.

"Two more barrels!" Liu Chang smiled bitterly: "This Haikou may be blocked at any time, I have to have a few barrels of granular gunpowder, Ye Niangzi, please forgive me!" ”

"Ten barrels! Give me at least ten barrels, and I'll double the price. Ye Niangzi did not give in: "Without ten barrels of foreign gunpowder, I can't stop the Qing Demon Sailor from Zhoushan, and you don't want to see this situation!" ”

Liu Chang glanced back at Da Jiang, and suddenly smiled: "Ten barrels is ten barrels, double the price, these ten barrels of gunpowder are the greatest support I can provide." ”

Ye Niangzi agreed, but Liu Chang shouted loudly: "Captain Qu, hurry up and pick up Count Demons's sailboat!" Ye Niangzi, these ten barrels of gunpowder are already the greatest support I can provide! ”

Ye Niangzi looked up and saw that the Western sailing ship in Demons on the river was sailing with the wind.
