Chapter Seventy-Three: Troubles Continue
Li Qingyuan looked at Wu Sanniang in surprise: "Do you also think it's right to guard the cottage?" ”
Li Qingyuan said this, Wu Sanniang thought about it and nodded: "Yes, it is true that you can't defend it, it will be eliminated sooner or later, but he is now defending it, what should we do?" Get him out? ”
"Save must be saved, but it's not now, the first is that this guy wants to kill his sharpness and let him grow his brains, and the second is that now the Qing army is just like fighting chicken blood, and it is also necessary to let the Qing army suffer losses and kill prestige."
Li Qingyuan looked into the distance and said: "Third, we are not strong enough now, wait for Wu Duyan to drag the Qing army for half a year, we will develop quietly, and then the strength will not be what it is now." ”
Wu Sanniang smiled slightly: "Hmm! You're right, we'll all listen to your ......."
Li Qingyuan smiled, the two chatted a little more, and went back separately, and Li Qingyuan went to bed.
The next morning, Hou Zheng hurried over and saw Li Qingyuan coming up: "General, the troops have successfully arrived at Mount Tai and connected with that side, and the Qing army over there is still capturing Fan Wei in the mountains......"
Li Qingyuan thought for a while and asked, "What's going on over there?" ”
"A few years ago, I heard that someone defected and was bitten hard by the Qing army, and now there are only more than 1,000 people left running towards the mountains of Zaozhuang, where the Qing army organized 30,000 or 40,000 people, I'm afraid it will hang." The monkey said with a sigh.
Li Qingyuan nodded, he had long known that he couldn't make it, but it was an unexpected surprise to be able to hold on until now, he originally thought that it could only be delayed for a month or two, but he didn't expect that after this year had passed, he would still be able to run away.
Li Qingyuan asked again: "Then how is the development of the team in Shandong?" ”
Hou Zheng licked his lips and said: "They are making a lot of trouble over there than here, there are more than 5,000 people, and a battalion has 13400 people. ”
Li Qingyuan frowned: "What?" Didn't they do what I asked? ”
Hou Zheng said with a smile: "Of course everyone listens to the general, but the weapons are not enough, everyone is struggling with who will be reorganized first and who will be reorganized later, and when I came back, they had already begun to reorganize and train." ”
Li Qingyuan is a little more down-to-earth, if the form over there is out of control, then Li Qingyuan really won't dare to divide the team casually in the future, but fortunately, everyone doesn't have so many eyes now.
However, if you don't communicate for a long time, sooner or later there will be problems, Li Qingyuan asked with concern: "How is it?" How's it going to make you worry about opening up trade routes? ”
Hou Zheng scratched his head: "General, it's not that I Hou Zheng doesn't want to work, it's just that we haven't done business either, and we don't know what to sell, I looked at it on both sides, they are mountainous on their side, we are also mountainous on our side, they have mountain goods over there, and we are also mountain goods on our side, it's really not easy to do!" ”
Li Qingyuan thinks about it, what are the specialties of Shanxi? Fur? Vinegar? Coal? What about Shandong? Jujube? Cooking cakes? In this era, the materials of the two mountains were indeed similar.
Li Qingyuan turned around twice and asked, "Then you can get some farm tools, leather goods and vinegar from here and sell them there, and when you come back, bring some jujubes or do something casually." ”
Hou Zheng asked cautiously: "Wouldn't it be a loss of money if this is the case?" ”
Li Qingyuan asked with a smile, "When did I let you make money?" As long as you can ensure the smooth flow of information personnel on both sides, as for the things that make money, you can earn them in the future, and you can't make money from other places. ”
Hou Zheng said happily: "Then if you say so, I will do it, don't worry, I will do it with you!" ”
Li Qingyuan said uneasily: "You also use dim sum, don't really lose all the money, just try to make a little profit, the leather goods on the grassland in the north are cheap, and you can always make a little money by selling them in the past." ”
Hou Zheng nodded and said, "Okay, got it." ”
Li Qingyuan looked at Hou Zheng's back, and he didn't know if he really knew or faked, but if Fan Wei really couldn't hold on for long, then Shandong would really be in danger.
Now the Tianli Council has brought more than 350 people to the mountain this month, and with the expansion of the territory in the future, Li Qingyuan estimates that his team will be able to exceed 10,000 people in half a year at most, and he will have the confidence to confront the Qing army.
However, Shandong's eyes were black, and if they really confronted the Qing army, relying only on that little guerrilla warfare theory, Li Qingyuan was really not at ease about what they could do.
Wu Sanniang passed by, saw Li Qingyuan standing at the door, frowned, and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?" What's upset? ”
Li Qingyuan nodded: "It seems that Fanwei over there in Shandong can't hold on for long, I want to go to Shandong to have a look recently, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on." ”
Wu Sanniang said worriedly: "If it really doesn't work, let them withdraw here, right?" ”
Li Qingyuan sighed: "Every step we take now is extremely difficult, and it is hard to stand still, if we give up, we will always have to start all over again, let's go and take a look, if they can hold it, our side will be able to rest assured." ”
Wu Sanniang nodded: "I don't know ...... you either, forget it, no matter what you say, I will support you, I'll go with you then, right?" ”
Li Qingyuan thought for a while and asked, "Then what about your side of the matter?" ”
"Didn't you say you should let it go? I think the crow did a good job, otherwise let her watch it then, how long will it take you to come and go? Sanniang thought for a moment and asked.
Li Qingyuan was a little confused and sighed: "I don't know, it's more than ten days, and I'm afraid it will take a month or two if it's more, right?" Still don't know what's going on over there? ”
Sanniang said distressedly: "You always persuaded me to let go, and now you are worried about this and that, can't you leave things to them and let them handle it themselves?" Maybe they have their own solution? ”
Li Qingyuan shook his head: "We can't take a wrong step now, a wrong step may be a situation where everything is lost, so I have to worry about it, next year, get through this year, maybe everything will be fine next year." ”
After Li Qingyuan chatted with Wu Sanniang, he went to the gun factory to see the test gun, if this cannon is successful today, then this kind of tiger squat cannon will continue to be produced here in the future.
When he arrived at the place, everyone was waiting for him, Li Qingyuan saw at a glance that the door was shiny and shiny, and there was a small cannon with a big red flower, Li Qingyuan shook his head with a smile: "Don't engage in this kind of bells and whistles in the future, if you put flowers on it, it can't increase its power and waste cloth." ”
The workers of the artillery factory hurriedly removed the safflower, and everyone was a little embarrassed, but they didn't expect the first fart to be slapped on the horse's leg.......
