Although Li Qingyuan intends to imitate the establishment of a base area, it is estimated that the future will be bumpy if he copies it in its entirety, and when people come up, they will attack the county seat and occupy a vast area, and then all kinds of anti-encirclement and suppression will be in full swing.

But Li Qingyuan's first is that there are too many enemies, and the second is that if he is surrounded and suppressed, Li Qingyuan will not have such a powerful military talent, so the base area must be built, but it is still obscene and better developed in the early stage.

Li Qingyuan was busy training the musket battalion here, and there was new news from Wu Sanniang's side, she had already gained a foothold in Xingzhou, and found Liu Blacksmith's daughter, Li Qingyuan was very curious about how she did it, and hurriedly called the herald sent by Wu Sanniang.

As a result, it seemed that it was the sixth son, and Li Qingyuan asked curiously: "Why is Sanniang so fast this time?" ”

Liuzi said happily: "You say it's a coincidence, this north is a place called Crow Village, Wu Sanniang went to spy only to know that the big boss of this Crow Village is called Crow, and it is also a group of robbers who rob the rich and help the poor, and then Sanniang personally went up the mountain to convince the other party to ......." ”

Liuziyi said happily, Sanniang explained that he didn't want to tell Li Qingyuan about going up the mountain alone, but he just forgot about it, and now he looked at Li Qingyuan a little worriedly.

Li Qingyuan frowned: "Look at what I do, keep talking!" ”

"Oh, after Sanniang went up the mountain, she had a good exchange with the crow, and the two became friends at that time, and after a long talk all night, the crow decided to join the Tianli Society and fight against the Qing Dynasty together!" Liuzi immediately finished talking about it.

Looking at Li Qingyuan's brows again, he frowned even deeper: "You mean to have a long talk?" Liuzi nodded, and Li Qingyuan was a little speechless: "Do you know what it means to have a long talk?" ”

Liuzi thought for a while, and said, "That's right, this crow leader is a woman!" ”

Li Qingyuan was a little embarrassed, it turned out that he had misunderstood, glared at the sixth son, and couldn't say anything clearly, Li Qingyuan nodded and asked, "How many crows are there?" ”

"Oh, there are more than sixty subordinates, half of them are women, and they are very famous in this area, and the daughter of Blacksmith Liu is running to her for her fame." Liuzi said immediately.

Li Qingyuan never underestimated women, but a large group of women always felt a little unreliable when they participated in the war, Li Qingyuan asked: "Then are they willing to come here for training?" ”

Liuzi nodded: "Yes, yes, yes, but they are preparing a big operation now, so they can't pull away for a while, and they plan to come over after the action." ”

Li Qingyuan asked curiously, "What action?" ”

Liuzi said happily: "There is a camp of officials and craftsmen in Xingzhou, which is to help the imperial court build bird guns, there are more than 300 blacksmiths, all of them are good at making guns, and the crows have heard that you need a blacksmith, so I plan to give it to you as a gift." ”

Li Qingyuan's face was dark at that time, and he was still carefully pretending to be a grandson here, and Sanniang was going to do it with the government, so he was still playing with a fart Taoguang Yanghui, and the sixth son saw that Li Qingyuan's face was not good, and hurriedly explained: "It's not to fight directly, but to open an opening to let these people escape." ”

Li Qingyuan listened and asked, "You talk about ...... carefully." ”

Liuzi hurriedly said: "That's the case, the Qing Demon has always liked to catch craftsmen to do things for the government, these people not only pay very low wages, but also have high labor intensity, often a year of hard work and family members can't eat, so craftsmen escape from time to time, so Qing Demon will send a team of green battalion soldiers to guard, as long as the guards are done, the craftsmen can run out." ”

Li Qingyuan thought about it and seemed to be very reliable, so he asked: "If these people run away, what will the government generally do?" ”

Liuzi thought about it and shook his head: "It's nothing to deal with, right?" It is to arrest people, and if you can't catch them, you will continue to forcibly recruit other blacksmith ....... ”

More than 300 blacksmiths is a huge temptation for Li Qingyuan, as for the risk, in the face of such a temptation, this risk is also acceptable, Li Qingyuan turned around twice in the same place and seriously considered it and said: "You go back and tell Sanniang, be careful, if you can't do it, withdraw immediately...... Forget it, I'll go myself. ”

Li Qingyuan felt that it was still a little well prepared, and immediately ordered the sharpshooter battalion to prepare and set off with him early tomorrow morning, if there was a problem at that time, there would be fifty sharpshooters who could solve the big problem.

Early the next morning, Li Qingyuan set off with the sharpshooter battalion, the sharpshooter battalion was expanded on the basis of the sharpshooter pair, the total number of people was less than 100, and it has not yet been full, Li Qingyuan's principle is to rather lack than abuse, so after taking away 50 people this time, the rest will continue to train.

All the way over the mountains and mountains, and finally arrived at the crow village before dark, and the rebel sentry had already reported the news to Wu Sanniang, so when Li Qingyuan came, Wu Sanniang was already waiting under the cottage.

Wu Sanniang saw Li Qingyuan and asked very proudly, "How is it?" You didn't notice our sentry, did you? ”

Li Qingyuan nodded and smiled: "Well, you did a good job, this is the crow master, right?" Li Qingyuan pointed to a big female bandit beside Wu Sanniang who was also carrying a double knife and asked.

Wu Sanniang nodded and said, "Exactly, Wu Dangjia, this is our General Li Qingyuan." ”

"In the past few days, I heard Wu Sanniang talk about you, she can't move Qingyuan said that she wants to be like this, Qingyuan said that she wants to be like that, I thought this Qingyuan general was a fairy,......" This crow was not polite, and immediately made fun of Wu Sanniang, and Wu Sanniang's face turned red and grabbed her: "How can there be?" ”

Li Qingyuan smiled and asked, "How is it?" Isn't it a little disappointing to see me so ordinary? ”

"No, I just think that my Sanniang's eyes are ......" The crow was talking, Wu Sanniang pulled her, stared at her and waved her hand with a smile and made a gesture of begging for mercy: "Okay...... Do not say....... ”

Li Qingyuan asked: "Is the crow boss also surnamed Wu?" Then Sanniang may be relatives, didn't you say that they were a family five hundred years ago? ”

The crow rolled his eyes when he heard it and said, "That's a nickname, how can someone with the surname Wu still be called Crow!" Although I don't have the surname Wu, I am still sisters with Sanniang, what are you doing here? Can't you trust our sisters? ”

Of course, Li Qingyuan would not admit it, and said with a smile: "How can it, isn't it that I heard that you have made a big move, so I sent someone to help you wave the flag and shout to strengthen your momentum, and I am afraid that you will not be able to take care of many people who save you, so I will help you share the burden." ”

The crow asked curiously, "You don't think you're carrying a shotgun, right?" ”

"Almost, it's all fire guns...... Li Qingyuan didn't want to introduce her too much, the personnel on her side had not been screened yet, and there were many people, as for what was going on, the other party would naturally know in the future.
