Li Qingyuan saw that the other party was not interested in what he said, so he no longer dwelled up, if the sulfur could really be mined here, then it would be considered to solve Li Qingyuan's big problem, China has always been relatively short of sulfur, including the Qing government's own use of sulfur is produced in the Ryukyus or imported from the Wa Kingdom and other places.

Therefore, if the Qing court wants to control it, it only needs to control the source of sulfur, so it becomes very difficult for Li Qingyuan to obtain gunpowder.

The amount of sulfur used in Li Qingyuan's current gunpowder formula is about 15 percent, which means that as long as a few thousand catties of sulfur can be mined here, then tens of thousands of catties of gunpowder can be made.

Hundreds of explosives can be made just by making explosives, and tens of millions of rounds can be made for musket shooting, so that Li Qingyuan will not have to worry about sulfur for at least a year or two.

Li Qingyuan asked curiously, "Where did all this water flow?" ”

The crow pointed to a corner and said, "Whoa, there's a hole over there, and the water seems to have flowed into the ground." ”

Li Qingyuan organized the language and said: "Crow, I want to open a mine here and dig up all the sulfur here, you see ......." ”

"Dig it, dig it, anyway, we're just a bathing place." The crow let it out very generously, Li Qingyuan nodded, and after observing for a while, he followed the crow away, it was useless for the two to stay here, and Li Qingyuan didn't know how much sulfur there was and what the output was.

The crow took Li Qingyuan around the other places again, but Li Qingyuan's mind was full of sulfur, and his mind was not on this at all, Li Qingyuan planned to send someone to mine after this battle.

The next day, during the day, the crow sent someone to Yangfan Town, and Li Qingyuan also went to the town with Wu Sanniang, planning to investigate specifically, and when the two left, the crow was smiling, and Sanniang was a little blushing when she smiled.

It's not the first time for the two to go out, when they get to the town, this official shop is bigger than Li Qingyuan imagined, the production of firearms in order to control the world in the Qing Dynasty is strictly limited to a few places such as the capital, and the reason why Xingzhou has one is also because there is a flag city here, but now the flag people have no combat effectiveness, and they can basically be ignored.

This official square occupies a quarter of the town of Yangfan, and Li Qingyuan found that there was no need to destroy the city wall at all, as long as he controlled a city gate, all the craftsmen inside could escape.

Two hundred township soldiers are divided into four gates, plus the shift repair of a class of soldiers is estimated to be only about 20 people, and the total establishment of the Yangfan Town Flood Station of the Green Battalion is claimed to be 80 people, but in fact there are only more than 50 people, and there are two gates of the official square and four arrow towers, so there are only about 10 people at one gate.

Li Qingyuan felt and asked Wu Sanniang beside him: "Are you sure to quietly solve these green battalion soldiers and township soldiers?" ”

"Can I kill someone?" Wu Sanniang remembered that the mistake last time was entirely because Li Qingyuan felt that he should try not to kill people, and then Li Qingyuan thought that fighting always kills people, and he can't hurt his own brother because of his little kindness, and then he no longer restricts killing, but emphasizes not to hurt the innocent.

Li Qingyuan nodded and said, "Yes, if you can kill people, are you sure you can kill them all?" ”

Wu Sanniang looked at the guards who were hanging and said: "This is at least eighty percent sure, don't worry, these two or three people under me are not practiced in vain." ”

Li Qingyuan said: "You see that the gate of his official square is so close to the city gate, we only need to control one gate, and then control the city gate next to it, then everyone can quickly get out of the city, there is no need to tear down the city wall, and there is no need to worry about the chasing soldiers chasing too fast after controlling ......the city gate." ”

Wu Sanniang nodded and said, "It's good, but what if it fails and makes a fuss?" ”

Li Qingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Even if there is movement, as long as these blacksmiths are covered, when the time comes, I will lead people to block for a while, and you will be able to go far, I will take them to the north, and then join you." ”

"Wouldn't this be too risky, I wouldn't have let the crows fight this idea if I knew it was so troublesome, or let's forget it." Wu Sanniang listened to Li Qingyuan leading people to snipe, and she was a little apprehensive, and she regretted her and the crow's greed.

Li Qingyuan shook his head: "The arrow is on the bow, I have to send it, I want to try it or not, you still have one thing to pay attention to in this operation, that is, there may be some people who are unwilling to go with us, they would rather be slaves and beg here than be bandits with us, don't waste time on these people when the time comes, retreat must be fast!" ”

Wu Sanniang sighed and said: "Yes, there are such people in the first few rescues, why don't you know what to do with this?" ”

Li Qingyuan looked at the Qing soldiers in the distance and said: "These people are not the same as us, even if they are brought to the mountain, they will make us bad, or run down the mountain and high density will be bad for us, it is better not to do this, they can still live with a stutter now, they are willing to endure it, hoping that the court will be gracious!" ”

The two of them walked around the town, and then found a small restaurant for lunch, and in the afternoon the two returned to the outside of the city, and the crow was leading people to ambush in the ravine to the west, and the three of them met, and the crow came over and asked, "How is the inquiry?" ”

Li Qingyuan thought for a while and asked, "Do you have any marksmen in your cottage?" I'm talking about the ...... of the crossbow. ”

Wu Sanniang nodded curiously: "Yes, one is Wu Niu and the other is Niu Er, both of whom are children of Orion in the mountains, and they can't shoot within fifty steps." ”

Li Qingyuan nodded and said: "It's enough to add five from Sanniang's side, do you have the kind of anesthetic or poisonous that kills you and seals your throat with blood?" ”

The crow was not happy, looked at Li Qingyuan and said: "We people in the rivers and lakes pay attention to uprightness, and the use of poison is the ...... of the next three abuses." ”

Sanniang pulled her and said, "Yes, I'm ready......"

The crow was stunned: "You ......, you ......." ”

Li Qingyuan asked the crow: "Your brother dies or their Qing soldiers die, which one do you choose?" ”

The crow turned his head and didn't speak, Li Qingyuan sighed and said: "I can't help it, this slight mistake may cause our brothers and sisters or these innocent blacksmith families to die because of this, what do we have to use some means, think about being able to save so many innocent people, what is this little infamy." ”

The crow couldn't turn around, Sanniang pulled her and Li Qingyuan to make a look, Li Qingyuan shook his head and left, let the two women talk, Li Qingyuan didn't understand this kind of righteousness in the rivers and lakes, he was fighting now, where did the righteousness of the rivers and lakes come from? If he loses, will Qianlong watch the rivers and lakes release himself with righteousness?
