Not all the forces have the courage to buy hundreds or thousands of muskets at once, and the crows have been in the north for so long, and there are dozens of muskets sold, and there are very few more than a hundred.

One is that he has no courage, and a hundred muskets plus miscellaneous expenses cost two thousand taels of silver, and many bandits are reluctant to give it up.

The second is that he can't use it, although the musket sold by Li Qingyuan is a flintlock pistol, but the steps and maintenance and repair he uses are like a book of heaven for these bandits, so many bandits are itchy to watch, but they are really idle and troublesome, how can this be as pleasant as cutting with a big blade, and it is comfortable.

The third is that there is no demand, the Qing Dynasty also prohibits weapons, not to mention firearms, ordinary villages do not even have a decent steel knife, bow and arrow, and the existing weapons are enough to deal with such village bandits, and there is no need to update weapons.

In larger villages, either clans gather or have large landlords, such village bandits will not easily make up their minds, because they may not have done it.

In the past, such villages had firearms, but since last year, Qianlong issued a decree that the Qing Dynasty completely banned guns and did not allow Han people to produce, use or own firearms, so now the landlords have no firearms.

The last reason is that many bandits don't have the money to buy it, and it is very beautiful to listen to when the bandits drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, but in fact, most of the bandits are still very miserable.

Hunger is a common thing, being able to eat a full meal is a luxury pursuit, and as for drinking wine and eating meat, it is only a benefit that only a few leaders have when they encounter good things.

Especially the bandits in the prosperous era, although the Kangqian prosperous era was very wet, most of the country was still peaceful and stable, so the bandits could only nest in the mountains and move carefully, and there was a risk of being exterminated if they were not careful.

Big families don't dare to touch it, and they always grab some small villages or mountain people, how much money can they have?

A village of 100 households may not be able to grab a hundred taels of silver, because many families don't even have a tael of silver.

If you encounter a little resistance and die a few more, you have to give the money for burning and burying, right? If you meet a family person, you will need more relief points, so most of the bandits have a better life than ordinary tenants.

But this is a little better, there are people who are willing to be bandits, either they are lazy to do it, or they are forced to be cornered by the landlords, in short, after the population explosion, these bandits are not short of people, but they dare not recruit casually, because they can't afford to raise them.

Just like Li Ji, as a bandit with ideals, he also dared to maintain a team size of more than 100 people, the crow went to his cottage to see, only less than a month's stock of grain is mostly miscellaneous grains, and Li Ji packed a small bag of silver and left, thinking that it was only a few hundred taels, of course he is a special case, most of his money is used to support people, so it is so little.

Like the few that Li Qingyuan grabbed at the beginning, it didn't take decades to save so much.

So Li Ji chose to grab it directly, which was also his helpless move, of course, he only thought about the good aspects and did not think about the bad aspects.

Every industry has its own rules, bandits also have living needs, so there will be businessmen who take risks to do business with them, like this kind of people bandits are responsible for secrecy, and the second is not to rob, otherwise who would dare to do business with you?

Li Ji broke the rules, and Li Qingyuan borrowed the hand of the crow to reward his head, these are normal, but when the news is issued, Li Ji is afraid that he will not be able to stay in Taihang Mountain.

Just when Li Qingyuan turned his energy to Wu Duyan's side, the news of Fan Wei's attack on Xuzhou came, hearing this news Li Qingyuan was not only shocked or shocked, how did he do it?

Li Qingyuan was speechless for a long time after listening to the whole process, isn't this a science and technology tree that was only lit up by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? How is it now? Could it be the reason for the invention of the explosives pack himself? Li Qingyuan remembered that after Tianping Heavenly Kingdom invented this siege method, this method was later adopted by various online novels and became one of the siege techniques......

In any case, a new siege method has been invented, and the city wall will not be relied on by the defenders in the future, and Fan Wei is afraid that it will make a big fuss if he does this!

Xuzhou, as an important node of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, is also the main road of east-west transportation, Fan Wei occupies this place, I am afraid that the Qing army will go all out to deal with him, no matter how long he can hold out, Li Qingyuan feels that he is now an excellent opportunity to develop himself.

But in order for Fan Wei to hold on a little longer, are you trying to pull him? How to pull? Of course, they continued to sell weapons.

Fan Wei made a bad start, since he can use a coffin to blow up other people's city gates, then the Qing army will naturally follow suit and use this trick against him.

There is a city wall relying on Fan Wei It is estimated that it can hold on for a long time, which does not have the geographical advantage of the city wall, I am afraid that as soon as the Qing Dynasty army arrives, Fan Wei will not be able to stop it.

But when it comes to giving him a gun, this guy doesn't train, Li Qingyuan was a little speechless when he heard that his queue was scattered by the five or six thousand cavalry of the Qing army.

This is still the case that Li Qingyuan informed in advance to prepare in advance, if it weren't for the fact that the Chinese army still left a hand in the end, set up a fence and a musket, this guy would probably be cold.

If he can shoot faster and maintain the rhythm of the formation, it is estimated that he can defeat the Qing cavalry at a small cost, the Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mengba Banners are no longer what they used to be, and the main forces are in the west to guard against the regeneration of rebellion in the west, and they are still fighting the Qing-Burma War.

The main forces of the Qing army were all pinned, so only a few thousand were sent by the Qing army's Beijing battalion, and the other patchwork troops had not yet arrived in the place.

So now Fan Wei still has time to sort things out, because it will take some time for the Qing army to encircle him now.

However, what Li Qingyuan couldn't understand was why Fan Wei could tolerate the Qing army staying under his nose? This is not equivalent to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time to establish the Jiangnan Jiangbei camp to block Nanjing, which not only contained a large number of troops of the Taiping army, but also achieved a strategic advantage.

Li Qingyuan felt that Fan Wei shouldn't concentrate all his strength to kill the Qing army at this time, and then either go north to the Northern Expedition, or go east to occupy a corner?

As a result, the other party went south, and looking at his march route, he probably still thinks about Yancheng! When the time comes, you will be attacked on all sides, and you will still play a fart.

Li Qingyuan instructed the Shandong side to sell him muskets, and on the other hand, he asked the Shandong side not to make too much trouble, develop eastward, and strive to develop to the sea as soon as possible.

After turning his head to look at Wu Duyan, Li Qingyuan's eyes lit up, another waste he thought could be done so well, so if this waste was given a chance, would it be able to soar into the sky?
