It's just that although De Mons's heart flew back to Shanghai, he and Liu Chang had to honestly carry out tedious, meticulous and even boring inspections.

De Mons personally inspected the three thousand Mexican silver coins delivered by Liu Chang, checked them one by one, and finally bit the gold ingots himself, and when he confirmed that it was correct, he was satisfied with hiding the gold ingots close to his body, feeling the beauty of the cold gold and the hot body contact, De Mons was drunk.

And Liu Chang also had to personally inspect every rifle, although it was all retired second-hand equipment, but it was well maintained, especially the fifteen firing rifles, which had been in service for less than ten years, and had been repaired by Demons in advance, and had a new look.

De Mons personally taught Liu Chang and his subordinates the details of rifle shooting, and Qu Jie and the others mastered it quickly, and it didn't take long for them to get started.

It's not how smart they are, but compared to the fact that the shotgun is so complicated that it often requires two people to load and shoot together, the loading of the flintlock pistol and the flintlock pistol is much simpler, especially the firing gun is simply too convenient, so Qu Jie nodded again and again: "Check the good eye, this gun is thirty silver yuan a shot, it is really worth the money, it is worth the money!" ”

The next work was more detailed, barrels of gunpowder, saltpeter, sulfur, all kinds of rifles, and accessories were transported from Demons's Western-style sailing ship, loaded onto Ye Niangzi's sampan, and then relayed again and again to transport them back to Ye Niangzi's ship.

The carrying capacity of the sampan was very small, and each time the waterline was so deep that it felt like it could capsize at any time, and on the deck Demons continued to teach the details of operating flintlock pistols and firing pistols, especially the details of maintaining rifles, at this time Qu Jie and the others could not keep up, they could only understand a sentence or two at most.

However, Liu Chang can still talk eloquently with Demons, and even brought a quill from Demons and wrote down the specific details on paper.

The relay transportation of the snorkels lasted for nearly two hours, and Liu Chang had to tell De Mons before jumping on the suspension line: "Count De Mons, the next time you deliver arms, I hope to solve this last mile transportation problem, otherwise our specific transaction may last a day or more." ”

"No problem, I will make you satisfied, I hope the transaction will be happy then!"

"Happy trading!"

Carefully jumped on the sampan, a few soldiers hurriedly helped Liu Chang up, and slowly rowed towards Ye Niangzi's sailboat, Liu Chang also smiled and waved his hand at Demons, until he rowed to the middle stream, Liu Chang suddenly asked: "Who is the richest near our Panshi Village?" ”

Before everyone could understand it, Liu Chang said again: "Horses have no night grass and no fertilizer, and people have no windfall and no wealth, so we have to do it once." ”

If you don't make a lot of money, not to mention paying for Demons's next arms, it will be very difficult to maintain the troops.

The waves were gusting, and the waves gently lapped the waterline of the boat, and Liu Chang's words quickly got an enthusiastic response: "That's right, I have to make a lot of money." ”

"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, check, let's follow you to fight the big family."

"Check, I think Yang Shanren is good, opening their house, at least let us live comfortably for a year."

"Maybe not in a year, but ** months is always fine."

"But Yang Shanren is in the south of the Yangtze River, we have to cross the river."

"What about Jiangnan, their Yang Mansion is only a few miles away from the riverbank, as long as we go ashore, we are not afraid of what tricks he will play!"

"Be careful, be careful! He is also the leader of the township. ”

Liu Chang asked carefully, it turned out that the real name of this Yang Shanren is Yang Yingde, and he is the richest man in the entire Yongjia County, with more than 7,000 acres of land in his hands, and more than ten shops such as mills, pawnshops, inns, etc., and thousands of taels of silver at home, which is famous throughout Wenzhou.

This Yang Yingde usually has a good reputation, known as a benevolent and benevolent, and his share of building bridges and roads is indispensable, but Liu Chang's personal soldiers know his details: "What Yang Shanren, a man with a belly of thieves and prostitutes, I don't know how much he has done for lack of morality." ”

"Yes, I don't know how many lives have been killed."

"What's more, Yang Shanren also sold opium privately, and also opened a brothel in Fucheng, all of which were cornered by him."

"Hey! Under our Oujiang River, I don't know how many sacks have been thrown down by Yang Shanren over the years, and how many people have been sunk at the bottom of the river. ”

Such a typical local tyrant and inferior gentry is the best object for Liu Changfa to make a windfall, but it is not easy to win the Yang Mansion.

First of all, the first problem is that the Yang family is not in the north of the Jiangbei, but in the south of the Oujiang River, and the Panshi Village is facing off across the river.

The second big problem is that although Yang Shanren does no evil, he has always been a rabbit who does not eat the grass by the nest, and has a good reputation near his hometown.

The third problem is that since Yang Shanren has done so many bad things, he also has a not weak force in his hands, and there are twenty or thirty elite men in the Yang clan alone, plus the house slaves and lackeys who are fed with people's fat and people's ointment, there are no less than sixty or seventy people who can fight, and it is said that there are also several foreign guns, two earthen cannons, thirty or forty bird guns, and all kinds of knives and guns.

Yang Yingde donated a prisoner in the government before, and now he has filed a case in the government to become a township leader, and there are no less than two or three hundred Tuyong people under his control nearby.

In the past, there were characters on the green forest road who wanted to blacken Yang Shanren, but they suffered a big loss, so Liu Chang first made up his mind after learning more about Yang Yingde's details: "We have to practice the foreign gun first, and then we will make this windfall!" ”

Everyone agrees with this idea, the old house of the Yang family is opposite the Panshi Village, which is a monk temple that cannot be run.

Liu Chang also borrowed a boat from Ye Niangzi to cross the river on the boat, and Ye Niangzi agreed: "It's not bad to go to Jiangnan to make a fortune!" But we'll get a share. ”

Liu Chang immediately replied to her: "No problem, the gold and silver treasures you got back are indispensable to Ye Niangzi, but Ye Niangzi, you have to give me the deposit of one thousand taels, I can't even open the pot!" ”

Don't look at Ye Niangzi as a woman, but she is a really powerful character: "Okay, I'll send a thousand taels of silver over when I turn around, but you have to give me five barrels of sulfur." ”

Liu Chang didn't know that this sulfur was priceless in Zhejiang and Fujian, so he agreed, and asked again: "When is Ye Niangzi going to do it?" ”

"What?"

Liu Chang said: "Since Ye Niangzi has bought a new cannon, and has bought dozens of barrels of foreign gunpowder, plus my five barrels of sulfur, it should be for the green battalion soldiers of the Yuhuan battalion to see and understand." ”

Ye Niangzi didn't answer Liu Chang's question: "That's a big thing that the fifth master wants to think about, and it's not something that my little woman can interfere with!" ”

Liu Chang asked: "Ye Niangzi, you are too modest, they all say that Ye Niangzi can be the fifth master and half of the family." ”

Ye Niangzi was asked by him and had no choice but to tell the truth: "It depends on when Qu Zhenhai can make great progress." ”

As she was talking, Ye Niangzi's sailboat had already docked, and Yun Tianzong was already waiting there on the dock: "Check, there is a big victory in the north, Qu Zhenhan has killed Dajing Town." ”

Liu Chang laughed: "It seems that the fifth master is also going to do it." ”

This is a good opportunity.
