Li Qingyuan's only worry is that Meng Can will take the opportunity to retaliate if he is put on a position by himself, Li Qingyuan is also afraid that if this guy's brain is hot and he defects to the imperial court, then Li Qingyuan will have a pain, so in order to prevent accidents, Li Qingyuan decided to follow him in this first joint action.

Li Qingyuan felt that if he went, it was estimated that Wu Sanniang was worried about his safety and would follow, and after Meng Can was put on this path, he was angry, and nine times out of ten, he would also wait for him there.

So I'm afraid it will be embarrassing for a few people to meet, but Li Qingyuan doesn't want the other party to know that he has settled in Taihang Mountain, what if this guy comes with the troops? What if his troops don't take it in check?

Li Qingyuan stayed for another three days to confirm that these new blacksmiths were on the right track, and then arranged the training of the soldiers, and Wu Sanniang pretended to be a couple doing business, and the two instructors selected were one a Freemason instructor and the other was a Tianli instructor pretending to be a family member, and the four of them went down the mountain, and the four of them traveled all the way to Linxi for three days.

Although there has just been a disturbance here, but since the rebels hid in the mountains, the investigation here has been relaxed, and the ferry boat has crossed the canal, and it has arrived outside the city of Linqing.

It took the four of them a morning to find this Jiangnan tea stall, and just about to say the code, they found that the two people drinking tea on the stall were a little familiar, Li Qingyuan and Wu Sanniang glanced at each other and smiled bitterly, there is no need to get this code, one of the two people is Meng Can, and the other is the battalion commander who was arranged out.

Afraid that Meng Can would make a fuss, he said to Wu Sanniang: "You go and call people over, and talk about it in a place where there are few people." ”

Wu Sanniang nodded, and went to the tea stall to pat Meng Can: "Don't talk yet, follow me!" ”

Meng Can and the battalion commander immediately got up to follow, and several people went around the city, and when they arrived at the canal, Meng Can couldn't help but ask: "Sanniang, where have you been this month?" ”

Wu Sanniang smiled and said: "Qingyuan and I went to other places to hide, for fear that everyone would be wiped out by the imperial court when they got together, and they would also leave a spark for everyone." ”

Meng Can glared at Li Qingyuan: "Hmph! Villain! ”

Li Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, and was about to speak, but was pulled by Wu Sanniang, who smiled and said, "How is Brother Meng doing this month?" ”

"What else, nesting in the mountains every day, like bandits, it's too wasteful, I knew that it was better to have a good fight with the Qing Demon than to be so aggrieved! This really doesn't look like a big man's job! Meng Can is accusing Li Qingyuan's tactics of being a bit like a girl.

Li Qingyuan said leisurely: "Didn't you have a fight!" ”

"You!" Meng Can was choked and speechless, they did do it with the Qing Demon, and they were defeated and captured, Li Qingyuan's method of scolding and exposing his shortcomings immediately reaped the hatred of Hongguoguo, and Meng Can stared at him with fire in his eyes.

Li Qingyuan ignored him and said to the battalion commander who came: "This time, I will bring you two instructors to assist you in establishing the Tianli branch and the Freemason branch, the specific situation is like this...... ”

Li Qingyuan explained his thoughts to the battalion commander again, the battalion commander nodded, asked some relevant questions, and waited until the battalion commander fully understood Li Qingyuan before continuing: "You will start small-scale activities now, mainly to maintain the training of the team, and I will bring you a new instructor next month, and then teach you to queue and release guns." ”

"I have more than 100 guns, and half of them are broken, is it useful to practice guns?" The battalion commander was a little puzzled.

Li Qingyuan smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will bring you a sample gun at that time, and when the trade route is opened, I will provide you with at least a hundred guns every month, and then you won't have to worry about running out of guns." ”

In fact, it is safer to open the workshop to Shandong, but now this kind of gun is Li Qingyuan's only advantage, and when there is no stability here, he doesn't want to spread the technology in case it is learned by the Qing army and manufactured on a large scale, then it will be difficult for Li Qingyuan to go out of the mountain.

Of course, after the Qing army suffers a loss, it will definitely buy it from foreign countries, but now Lao Mei is still fighting for independence, and the standard rifles of other countries are still different from Li Qingyuan, so Li Qingyuan can still maintain a technical advantage for two or three more years.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan would rather be a little troublesome, even if it is Guangyun Gun Tube, he can't let this side touch the full set of production process, and even if the weapon is captured by the Qing army and wants to manufacture it in batches, it needs to be researched and cracked to imitate.

With this time, Li Qingyuan will be able to gain a little more advantage, and for Li Qingyuan, even one more war advantage may change the balance of power between the two sides.

The battalion commander didn't know this, and when he saw that Li Qingyuan would provide a musket, he was relieved, and when he saw that the matter was explained, Li Qingyuan shouted Wu Sanniang, who was entangled by Meng Can and muttered: "Sanniang, let's go, the matter is over." ”

Wu Sanniang said a little embarrassed: "Qingyuan, Meng Can wants to ...... with us." ”

Li Qingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "How can this work, so many people have brought it over, in case we are discovered, won't we have lost all our efforts!" ”

Meng Can said proudly: "Just hand over my soldiers to the battalion commander of Wu and them to take care of it, I'll go alone, how about Sanniang, I will say that he will definitely disagree, he is a cautious ......." ”

Looking at the chattering Meng Can, Li Qingyuan's mind did turn, there was really such a fool at this time, he thought that Li Qingyuan would disagree, but Li Qingyuan did feel that if he took this guy with him and isolated his team, then this time bomb would be dismantled.

Li Qingyuan is most worried about Meng Can's constant command on the Shandong side, or blind command, and now Meng Can is willing to take the initiative to give up the right to receive the troops, Li Qingyuan is happy, as for digging his own corner?

Hehe, Li Qingyuan feels that Taihang Mountain is so big, where can he not be arranged, and when the time comes, train for a period of time and let him develop to the west or south! After Li Qingyuan figured it out, he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's okay to follow, but he has to obey the dispatch, right?" ”

Wu Sanniang looked at Meng Can, Meng Can shook his teeth and said, "Okay!" ”

"Then let's go, you develop over there first, wait with peace of mind, I will send people over to support you one after another! And the people of Meng Can's leader will be scattered and incorporated into your camp. Li Qingyuan explained to the battalion commander.

Li Qingyuan thought for a while and said: "The four of you are now at the same level, you have to assist each other, and after the new military training instructor arrives in two months, the five of you will form the top decision-making five-person group ......in Shandong, so you don't have any contradictions, if anyone is not used to it, just say it, I will transfer new people over, but you can't make each other stumble and wear small shoes." ”
