Ten miles outside the north gate of Wuzhou, Wei Changhui looked at the ten loads of gunpowder neatly placed in the cart in surprise, and his mouth was wide open, and he could stuff an egg into it.

"Xiaoshan, don't sell Guanzi, how did this gunpowder come from? The silver ticket I carried, you didn't have a silver tael or two, could it be that God gave it to you? Wei Changhui's face was incredulous, as if he was in a dream.

"King Bei, I really can't say this. All I can tell you is that it was bought through one person. This person is very important, and he doesn't want to be known, so I can only keep it a secret. Yang Xiaoshan spread his hands and looked helpless.

"Can't even say that? Wei Jun, you kid tell me! Wei Changhui turned his head to glare at his younger brother Wei Jun.

"Brother Yang has taken care of it, I really can't say that I swore to God." Wei Jun also refused to reveal a word.

Wei Changhui looked weird, and said secretly in his heart: "What kind of trick did this Yang Xiaoshan use, my twelfth brother knew everything about me before, and he obeyed his words." It's only been a few days, and the ass has gone over there, so quickly turning his face and not recognizing people. My eldest brother is not as good as Yang Xiaoshan's fake big brother. "But fortunately, my goal has been achieved, although ten loads are a little less, if you save a little bit, you can make do for many days. His younger brother also made meritorious contributions, and at the same time proved that his vision was not wrong, and he couldn't run away with this little mountain.

"That man gave you so much gunpowder for nothing? Don't want money? I'm afraid there's fraud in this. Wei Changhui was still unwilling, and knocked on the side.

"This time I don't need money, he sent it, and we'll exchange things in the future." Yang Xiaoshan knew the thoughts of the North King, and revealed a little bit.

"And later? It's not easy to come on such a long journey, and it's very risky. Just because we're lucky this time doesn't mean we'll be lucky all the time. "Wei Changhui is completely dizzy, how to say it is as simple as playing house.

"I won't use Wuzhou in the future, they will deliver it to your door in person." Yang Xiaoshan smiled mysteriously and sold it again.

Wei Changhui stared at Yang Xiaoshan and looked him up and down, "This can't be nonsense." We are also delivered to the door, but we are in the battlefield surrounded by the Qing army, as if it is as easy as running an errand in the village. "Wei Changhui really can't believe it. If this is true, it is amazing, once it is achieved, it is a steady stream of credit, and this can easily fly over by itself?

"Brother, don't ask. I guarantee that what Brother Yang said is not wrong, you can rest assured. Wei Jun patted his chest and reassured.

"You little traitor! Who is your big brother! Wei Changhui deliberately laughed, he just felt that this thing was a bit too magical, and he didn't doubt Yang Xiaoshan's ability. He knew that Yang Xiaoshan would not blow indiscriminately, and since he said it, he would definitely be able to do it.

=====================

At the foot of the Sendai Ridge to the south of Yong'an was the defense area of the general army of Wenwen Dai, where there were few battles before. The most important thing is that Wen Wendai always responds negatively, he tries not to fight if he can, he calculates very clearly, as soon as he fights, gunpowder, weapons and armor will be consumed, and the wounded soldiers will have to pay for treatment, medicine, and pensions for the dead, all of which are money.

He doesn't buy and sell at a loss. was really rushed by the top, and only released a few empty cannons, let the soldiers let go of their throats and roar twice, and make a little noise even if it was dealt with.

Today he seemed to be a little excited, waiting for something, and kept walking back and forth in the barracks.

"Lord Commander, it's not good, the long hair is coming." A spy hurried in.

Wen Wendai didn't seem to be panicked, but asked calmly, "Can you see the other party's handsome flag clearly?" ”

The spy was amazed at the rare composure of the general soldier, and thought about it for a while: "It's a little strange today, it used to be a "stone" handsome flag, but today it is replaced by a "Yang" handsome flag. Did they make a mistake, we are opposite the station of their Wing King Shi Dakai. ”

"That's right, it's a good time. Pass my orders and let my guards go with me! Go and tell the stables to prepare a horse for me. Far from being afraid, he looked happy.

The spies were a little confused by the second monk below, "Didn't the general soldiers order to stick to the big camp before?" Why did you suddenly change sex today? Could it be that you have taken the wrong medicine? Naturally, the spies didn't dare to say what they thought in their hearts, and the chief soldier did whatever he wanted.

Wen Wendai rushed out of the camp with his cronies' guards, preparing to "fight" with the Taiping army.

A strange scene happened again, the Taiping Army, which had fought tenaciously and defended resolutely, actually fled and retreated without a fight. The scripture who rushed over was stunned that he didn't see a person, and after beckoning his subordinates to release empty guns for a while, he swaggered back victorious.

"Is everything in that trench?" Wen Wen Dai asked his cronies in a low voice.

"It's all gone, a total of ten loads of gunpowder, plus a load of salt. That's right, I ordered it personally. The cronies replied.

"Where did you put the things left behind by the long hair?" Wen Wendai continued to ask.

"How dare the villain put those things casually, they will naturally be put in your own tent." The cronies replied cautiously.

"You did a good job in this matter, go back to the logistics officer to get twenty taels of silver, remember to keep it secret!" Wen Dai was overjoyed, and finally told him very carefully.

After letting the clerk concoct a report of a great victory that didn't exist, Wen Wendai returned to his tent satisfied. As soon as he entered, he saw a box sent by his cronies. He slowly opened the box, and the familiar yellow-white lump came into view.

"I can take a few more sips." It turned out that Wen Wendai and Yang Xiaoshan agreed to fight a fake battle under the Sendai Mountains, and then exchanged the gunpowder and salt in the camp for opium with the Taiping army. Wen Wendai calculated very clearly, he sold part of the opium in exchange for silver to buy gunpowder and salt, and kept the other part for himself to smoke, so that he not only did not have to spend money to smoke opium, but also made a small profit in it.

Of course, Yang Xiaoshan is not a fool, according to the market situation, he knows that Wen Wen Dai will make some money, but it will take at least three months of trading before Wen Dai can earn back the ten loads of gunpowder money he sent for the first time. I don't know what Yong'an will be like in three months? Maybe the Taiping army would have flown away long ago. What's more, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is completely non-smoking, and opium is useless garbage for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. These were all confiscated from the landlords and profiteers, and there was no cost to them, so it was a good deal for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In this way, Yang Xiaoshan returned to Yong'an every seven days with the supplies urgently needed by the Taiping army from Sendai, looking at the endless supply of gunpowder and salt, the hearts of all the heavenly soldiers and soldiers were firmer. Yongan's defense is getting stronger.
