In a blink of an eye, it was December 27th, and the New Year was about to begin, but the Red Turban Army in Panshi Town had not even passed the New Year, and they were heading north.

It's just that in their team, there are not only a lot of artillery, but also the combination of rattan guns can be seen everywhere, and from time to time someone bows to Liu Chang: "Xie Jian teaches us the method of big gun warfare!" ”

"Liu Checkpoint, you should guard the rock village for the brothers, and when the Dajing camp is broken, let's have a good drink."

"Check, the rock village will be handed over to you dragon lance sentry!"

Liu Chang is also full of spring breeze: "Don't worry, the rock village is in my hands, and if Liu is there, there will be a rock village!" ”

Ye Niangzi next to her urged with a smile: "Check, if you don't enter the rock village again, there will be no stone slag left." ”

Liu Chang also had a smile on his face: "Ye Niangzi, how is the matter of asking you for help?" ”

Ye Niangzi was still holding a short sword in her hand: "I have sent a fast boat to contact, it is the twenty-seventh year of the New Year, there are not many brothers who are willing to go to sea, I let them go to sea at a great price." ”

Liu Chang was very happy on this point: "No matter how much you spend, you will be reimbursed by me." ”

Ye Niangzi rolled her eyes: "It's polite to check the point, now there are two of us left in Panshi Village, how can we not take care of each other!" Besides, yesterday I checked and spoke up for our couple in front of Qu Shuai, what is my little favor. ”

She was really charming when she spoke: "Do you really have to wait for Qu Zhenshan to move the rock village away?" ”

Although the Panshi Village was not moved by Qu Zhenshan, but the gap is not far away, the grain, gunpowder, bird guns and all kinds of loot in the village have been moved by the middle camp, and even dozens of large and small artillery pieces in the Panshi Village have been moved away by Qu Zhenshan, and the rest are the so-called cannons of more than 3,000 catties.

Most of these cannons of more than 3,000 catties were cast during the First Opium War, and the quality was very poor, and a little more gunpowder would explode on the spot, but not enough gunpowder, the range was too close, and it was too cumbersome, and Qu Zhenshan was unable to transport it away.

In addition, there was really only a little stone slag left, but Liu Chang didn't care about this gain or loss, he first sent Panshi Village to control it, and then prepared to establish order near Panshi Town.

Any ruler who wants to make a difference must establish order in his own ruling area, even if it is based on terror and violence, at this time, Nanxi Sentinel and Dragon Lance Sentinel both sent small teams to circle around Rock Town, announcing to everyone that Rock Town has changed masters.

It was only after carefully understanding the details of Panshi Town that Liu Chang officially understood why Xu Fengfei called this place "Shoal", in a sense, this place is really an out-and-out shoal.

There are a lot of fertile fields in the area of Panshi Town, but there are many hills and mountains, so although there has been a glorious history, but after entering the Qing Dynasty, it has been going downhill, counting a number of villages near Panshi Town, Liu Chang initially estimated that the population that can be controlled is only five or six thousand people.

Now there are two hundred and sixty or seventy people in Liu Yu's department alone, plus three or four hundred people from Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi, almost ten people have to support a mouth.

The peasant rebel army in history could not control military discipline, often because of this reason, but Liu Chang has a bit of a family background after all, and now there is a lot of grain in the countryside, and he is ready to requisition a batch at the market price, so he can not hesitate to use his precious silver reserves.

It's just that he can control his own troops, and he can't control Fifth Master Ge's pirate team, so he specially greeted the couple: "Fifth Master, Ye Niangzi, if you two need anything, look for me, I will do my best to help, but what do you need, please make a list to find me first, I will do my best to raise it, and I don't have to trouble the brothers to go ashore and work hard." ”

He was afraid that the pirates would come ashore and loot and make the population in the area under his control flee, but Ye Niangzi was very capable, and she replied directly to Liu Chang: "Don't worry, since this rock town is the territory of the inspection, then our rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, and we will definitely give the inspection this face." ”

Liu Chang was relieved, and Ye Niangzi continued: "The inspection point doesn't need to help us for free, but I just want the inspection point to borrow us a piece of space in Panshi Town, we still have a lot of goods on the ship, and we are still in a hurry to take it out and sell it. ”

They took five thousand taels of silver from Qu Zhenhan, and they did have plenty of money, and with the order of Ge Mengjin and Ye Niangzi, the pirates went ashore and set up a scene.

Liu Chang forgot that they were pirate merchants, they were pirates, but they also had a merchant side, and most of the goods they brought were Western products, which could be called cheap and high-quality foreign cloth, foreign nails, foreign nails, foreign nails, I don't know where they got them, and there were also materials they looted along the coast, and there were many tricks.

Now the New Year is coming soon, the villagers near Panshi Village have some copper coins in their hands, although the soldiers crossed the border two days ago, they once ran to the mountains to take refuge, but now the dragon lance whistle and Nanxi whistle have rebuilt the order nearby, they not only came back, but also the goods brought by Ye Niangzi are very attentive.

They also know the details of Ge Mengjin's group, but they also know that since they play the role of merchants in one place, they will never immediately turn their faces and act as pirates.

Ge Mengjin not only sold all kinds of foreign goods, but his fleet had already intercepted the Oujiang River, but all civilian ships that wanted to enter and leave the Oujiang River had to pay them a protection fee, and if they refused to pay, they would sometimes take the goods and catches on board to offset the amount, and then issue a yellow flag to ensure that they could be unimpeded on Ge Mengjin's territory in the future.

Ge Mengjin still has a lot of tricks to make money, his fleet not only patrols the river estuary, but also a few boats simply show their fishing gear and act as fishing boats, and countless catches are exchanged for various materials that Ge Mengjin wants every day.

The fishery resources of this era can really be described as extremely abundant, the price is about the same as rice, and just so many catches are enough to cover the daily expenses of Ge Mengjin's fleet.

Seeing Ge Mengjin's daily progress in gold, Liu Chang was also quite red-eyed, and after some inquiry, he learned that these were most likely Ye Niangzi's ideas, Ye Niangzi could not only fight in battle, but also manage the money bags of Ge Mengjin's fleet.

It's just that Ye Niangzi is making money every day, but Liu Chang is suspected of eating empty mountains, not to mention anything else, the catch that can't be sold every day, and in the end, Ye Niangzi sold it to Liu Chang at the price of cabbage, and Liu Chang was allowed to take credit.

Liu Chang is very willing that the troops can have a long-term stable source of protein, the quality of Wenzhou pork in this year is particularly good, it is a real green food, but the portion of each pig is light, the lean meat rate is low, so it is not realistic for the troops to eat pork every day.

Everyone welcomes a large number of fish on the dinner table, at least every day can eat fish this is not thought of at home, but in this way, many people have taken their families over, Panshi Village every day, often more than 400 mouths to eat.

It is impossible for Liu Chang to kick out all his family members, people follow you to do this murderous and rebellious business, and even let his wife and children come over to defect, and he will not go home for the New Year, he really has nothing to say except for extra meals.

It's just that it's not a way to sit and eat like this, so Liu Chang specially convened his cadres to discuss this matter: "We have already owed Ge Wuye more than 100 taels of silver on credit, it's not a way to go on like this, do you have any good ideas?" ”

"This place in Rock Town is too small!" Yun Tianzong immediately replied: "There are only five or six thousand mouths in total, and there is not much oil and water to be scraped!" ”

"Rabbits don't eat the grass around the nest, and Rock Town is now our foundation." Huo Qiu, the old salt lord, understands the world very well: "Not only can you not loot here, but you can also get grace everywhere." ”

"What's the way to get the money?" Liu Chang asked: "Now you have to open up a source of wealth like Ye Niangzi!" ”

"There is no more money than opium." Sun Huzi immediately said: "Ge Mengjin and they also secretly sell this, do we want to intervene?" ”

Liu Chang was naturally disgusted with the opium trade, and immediately rejected this suggestion: "We don't buy and sell black goods, wait until your old business can make money?" ”
