The man who came in smiled and said: "You don't know the virtues of those officials, don't say that this matter is really related to you, even if it doesn't matter, they are afraid that they will arrest you for the crime, after all, they can't find us, but you don't have to worry, they just left, I will inform you, you must be ready before the afternoon." ”

The man looked at the sky and said, "We will gather at the White Deer Temple in the afternoon, and take you to the mountains to hide from the limelight. ”

After saying that, the Freemason went out to inform the next family, leaving Blacksmith Liu and Blacksmith Qian staring at each other with big eyes, Blacksmith Liu hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Move!" Liu Zhu! Go and pull the carts, let's take these irons with us! And this guy who strikes iron. ”

Qian blacksmith also hurriedly went home, the township soldiers at the gate of the city are all from their hometown, and they rarely check the entry and exit of people, as the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, and some people still have to point their faces.

Blacksmith Liu now has only this iron in all his belongings, fortunately, he did not buy too much at one time, otherwise it would be a big trouble to transport it away, and now there are only a hundred scythes with iron, which does not account for much weight.

These blacksmiths usually carry coal and iron, and they have no experience in blocking the scene in this era, and the Wang family is not a big family, and they didn't even send anyone to guard the house when they died, let alone the city gate.

Liu Blacksmith came to the White Deer Temple, there were two first arrivals were already waiting, everyone looked at each other, worried and excited, with the increase in the number of people, everyone's hearts gradually settled down.

This person is a social animal, and it is panicked and panicked to run away alone, but once there are more people, it is more steady, and this place is the road up the mountain There are very few people, so everyone waited on the side of the road for an afternoon, without the slightest fear of being discovered.

In the afternoon, more and more people came, there were more than 100 people from more than 10 families, not only more and more people came to the future, but also brought more and more things, and some people who were picky and chirping moved the boxes and pots at home.

This is not the first time Li Qingyuan has encountered this matter, and it is not the first time that the righteous army has encountered it, in the past, these people were forced to throw things away, but now Li Qingyuan has changed it to pay a settlement fee.

When the leader of the rebel army who was in charge of receiving the people saw that the people had arrived, he said: "Okay, now we are going to go into the mountain, but now you have too many things to bring, and it is inconvenient to go up the mountain, so most of them must be thrown away. ”

Then the rebels began to clean up the belongings of these people, and all the large and worthless things were thrown away, and of course the blacksmith and even the iron had to be brought up the mountain, and after some streamlining, everyone finally had less weight on them.

Everyone also began to slowly move up the mountain, to Jingniang Lake, the person who answered came, the old man and the child carried up, everyone's speed began to speed up, just to Qibugou The sky darkened, everyone continued to hurry with torches.

After going around in the mountains for a long time, they finally arrived at Li Qingyuan's lair, Li Qingyuan also prepared a shack and meals for them, everyone settled down in their new home, Liu Blacksmith secretly went out to look and saw nothing in the middle of the night, but at least the people here are very kind.

And what is even happier is Li Qingyuan, with these more than ten blacksmiths, then his fire hammer workshop can immediately expand by 50 percent, from a monthly output of 100 strokes to a monthly output of 150 strokes.

And this is a good start, but it is only a beginning, more blacksmiths will join in the later stage, Li Qingyuan is insecure, so the path he takes is the military industry first, and everything revolves around the principle of letting his military workshop produce more firearms.

With this batch of blacksmiths, not only the production of muskets has been expanded, but even the bayonets that have not been equipped on the muskets can also be made, which is also what Li Qingyuan has been waiting for for a long time, and musketeers without bayonets cannot be attacked as a separate army.

So the next day, after letting the logistics department take charge of settling their family, Li Qingyuan took them to join the fire hammer workshop, which is a job that experienced blacksmiths can know at a glance, so after a visit, these people began to divide the work, and eventually added five more production teams, and the rest were responsible for building bayonets.

Seeing that the one-month time agreed with the Taishan advance detachment was about to arrive, although Li Qingyuan was ready to sacrifice them to protect the large army, but since the Qing army's mind was not on them, then Li Qingyuan certainly hoped that they could survive well.

At least develop a team in Shandong, and at a critical moment can also relieve the pressure on his side, Shandong is not unable to hide a rebel army, but because Li Qingyuan is afraid that the Qing army will follow the encirclement and suppression too tightly, and wants to stop and develop for a while.

Now all the energy of the Qing army was attracted by Fan Wei's troops, after Fan Wei drilled into the ravine, he immediately became slippery, the new minister of the Qing army was called Doral Hailancha, Manchuria, with a yellow flag, and a white flag, the deputy capital of Mongolia, who participated in the battle of Jinchuan and was a favorite general of Qianlong.

It's just that this Hailan Chadu may have been accustomed to receiving cavalry, and he was a little unaccustomed to mountain warfare, originally Qianlong thought that those who had participated in the battle of Jinchuan and Jinchuan could make meritorious contributions were powerful generals, who knew that he would not be able to meet bandits who drilled the ravine.

Although the big and small Jinchuan is located in a corner of western Sichuan, there is only a small amount of land, and the population is only tens of thousands, but Qianlong has invested nearly 600,000 manpower and 70 million taels of silver.

This is also one of Qianlong's ten complete martial arts, and it is also this battle that has achieved the prestige of Jinchuan, so he can take advantage of the battlefield over there, I don't know if I have a brain, at least this guy is brave enough, and he also has a strong army under his hands.

Since the corruption and degeneration of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, in fact, the cavalry of the Qing Dynasty relied on the Mongolian Eight Banners to support the façade, until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom later, except for a monk and a monk Gelinqin, which became the last swan song of the Mongolian Eight Banners.

Therefore, Li Qingyuan felt that he must not go out of the mountain now, otherwise Qianlong's cavalry still had a little combat effectiveness, even if such a big country was rotten, there would still be more than 100,000 strong troops collected, not to mention that Qianlong did not fight less, otherwise there would be no such thing as perfect martial arts.

Therefore, in the case of hard steel without preparation, if Qianlong transferred these battle-hardened border troops over, then he would have to play, and the experience of the Qing army in the mountains and forests that participated in the expedition to Burma was not inferior to the righteous army.
