In order to prevent Su Can from doing stupid things, Ye Shaolong had to work hard to get gunpowder. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info But the facts are in front of you, there are warlords outside, bandits, and thieves are everywhere, even if the caravan is asked to buy it at a high price, whether it can be transported back depends on two words, let alone whether it can be purchased to get gunpowder, this is not yet a certainty.

Su Can only gave Ye Shaolong ten days, and if he hadn't come up with a good way within ten days, the beggar gang would go to attack Jingshi. Ye Jiabao now has to rely on the help of the beggar gang, whether it is from outside sources or some private transactions.

Including the delivery of materials, almost all of them are done by the beggars, and the current Yejiabao can't do this at all. Once the beggar gang really has a problem, this will undoubtedly put Ye Shaolong in a dilemma.

For the first time in his life, Ye Shaolong was forced to be so anxious, and he was about to be driven crazy in the face of such a predicament. If he could, he would have liked to order Su Can to be tied up directly and then locked up.

It saves him from making things upset, but it's a pity that he doesn't have such power at all, otherwise why would he be so distressed.

At present, the Ye family's caravan is all managed by the official Zhao Youtian, and Ye Shaolong can only find Zhao Youtian to negotiate after thinking hard to no avail.

When he first heard Ye Shaolong's problem, Zhao Youtian was also helpless, as a party concerned, he understood the severity of the external situation better than Ye Shaolong. It's better than what Ye Shaolong said!

"Young Master, it's almost impossible to do this. Since the last time you defeated the foreign coalition army, you killed more than 4,000 of them. The foreign merchants have stopped selling anything to us. The entire caravan now exists in name only, and is of no use outside. ”

Zhao Youtian's face was full of bitterness, if it weren't for the fact that Yejiabao's food was still self-sufficient, Ye Shaolong would not have a headache for this matter.

Hearing the housekeeper say this, Ye Shaolong was even more annoyed, and he didn't calculate that he would fall into such a predicament. There were powerful cannons, but no gunpowder.

If you know that you will face such an end, it is better not to build cannons, and simply melt down those things and make them into cold weapons.

"Is there no way?" Ye Shaolong was anxious.

At this time, Zhao Youtian hesitated, and said hesitantly: "Young master, according to the previous caravans, this foreigner now uses ships to transport supplies, if you can find someone to find out and go to rob ......." ”

"His grandmother's, why didn't I think of it...... Hahaha! Ye Shaolong suddenly slapped his head hard, and then laughed.

After that, he patted Zhao Youtian on the shoulder and thanked him: "Uncle Zhao, thank you, after the matter is completed, I will thank you heavily!" ”

After speaking, Ye Shaolong rushed away, leaving Zhao Youtian with a dazed face, not understanding what Ye Shaolong had to be happy about.

It is not easy to rob the materials of the foreigners, and it seems that with the current ability of Yejiabao, it is not possible to do it.

Ye Shaolong rushed directly to the barracks and asked Tie Ta to call Su Can.

The latter thought that Ye Shaolong had already thought of a way, and he came in a hurry, as soon as Su Can entered the room, he laughed happily: "Brother, did you think of any good ideas?" ”

Ye Shaolong didn't hide it from Su Can, and directly told him about wanting to rob the foreigners' materials. Then he said excitedly: "What do you think, big brother?" ”

"Grab the material ...... of foreigners." Su Can frowned, and a trace of hesitation hung on his face.

"Yes, compared to those foreigners who are cowering in the capital, cutting off their supply is the safest way at present. If possible, we can also take some foreigners as hostages, and then we can negotiate with them, exchange people, and finally rescue the disciples of the beggar gang. ”

Su Can was also very happy when he heard Ye Shaolong say this, but soon he became worried again: "This is a good way, but you must know that those foreigners all use boats to transport supplies, and we don't have a ship now, how can we rob their things?" ”

"Who said we had to go to the sea or the river to rob it?" There was a hint of a smile on the corner of Ye Shaolong's mouth, looking very confident.

Su Can was stunned and said, "If we don't go to the sea or on the river, then where else can we go to grab it?" ”

Seeing that Su Can hadn't reacted yet, Ye Shaolong had no choice but to explain: "Big brother, since those foreigners' ships are transporting supplies, then they must dock. And those materials that are delivered to their destination must be stacked at the dock, even if they don't need to be stacked and transported away, then we just need to find out the way they must go, can't we ambush and rob them? ”

At this time, Su Can finally reacted, patted his thigh and laughed: "Yes, yes, that's it." ”

Since Su Can has no objections, it will be easy to do. The beggar gang disciples are everywhere and are experts in finding out the news, and Su Candang sent an order to go to the port of Jinmen to notify the helmsman there.

The news came at noon the next day, and after the investigation of the beggar disciples, there are currently foreigners in the port of Jinmen who are loading materials and preparing to transport them to the capital.

The only pity was that the beggar gang disciples couldn't find out what those materials were, but Ye Shaolong didn't care about them at all. No matter what kind of material it is, it will definitely not be garbage.

What's more, now his main purpose is to arrest people, and as for supplies, they are secondary.

After receiving the report, Ye Shaolong and Su Can immediately led the team to set off in person. In total, more than 1,000 men, 200 cavalry, 800 infantry. Among the infantry, there are 500 people who are martial arts masters represented by the disciples of the beggar gang and the Ten Tigers of Guangdong.

This battle is mainly based on ambushes, not head-to-head confrontations, and it is precisely in this way that Ye Shaolong will invite so many martial arts masters to go. It is precisely because they are obviously smarter than the officers and soldiers of Yejiabao who do this.

The goal of more than 1,000 people was too obvious, in order to be able to carry out quietly, Ye Shaolong divided the more than 1,000 people into more than 20 teams, and then each of them secretly moved forward to the meeting place.

From Jinmen to the capital, you must pass through Baoding, ten miles away from Baoding City, where there is a mile of mountain roads, surrounded by jungles, obviously, ambush here is the best place.

Yejiabao is also only half a day's journey from here, and when evening approaches, everyone who set off from Yejiabao will meet here.

And the beggar gang disciples came with news that the foreigners who were escorting the supplies had arrived in Baoding City and were now resting in the city. I don't think I will leave for the capital until tomorrow.

After getting the news, Ye Shaolong made sufficient preparations with peace of mind, and in addition to the necessary guards, he ordered other people to ambush, rest early, recuperate, and prepare to do a big job tomorrow.
