Early in the morning of the 24th day of the lunar month, Li Yuanqing's fleet began to return to Changsheng Island.

Originally, life on the ship was full of loneliness, except for the creation of people, except for staring at the sea, there was almost no other entertainment.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing's big ship was quite busy.

After the script was finalized last night, Yang Jiao~ Niang kept going, and she couldn't take a break, even if she started to choose actors and rehearsals.

After a comprehensive discussion between Li Yuanqing, Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu, and Yang Jiao~Niang, it was finally decided that Li Liuli, the top Oiran of Wuyu Pavilion, would play the role of the female No. 1 Xi'er.

Li Liuli is worthy of being born in a professional class.

After only one or two times of familiarity, the simple lyrics of "The North Wind Blows, the Snowflakes That Drift ......" have been gentle and pathetic and indescribably moving when they come out of her seductive little mouth.

And these supporting roles and turtle slaves also have a deep performance foundation, and after a simple one or two times of familiarity, the whole drama has begun to become smooth.

If it's just a story, it may not be detailed enough, but it is presented in a complete dramatic situation, especially with a super beauty like Li Liuli, and its impact is naturally conceivable.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the crew of "The White-Haired Girl" no longer had to rehearse on Li Yuanqing's boat.

Because there is no need for Li Yuanqing to supervise at all......

What Li Yuanqing needs to do is how to do his best to make the stage effect, especially the sound amplification effect, better!

…………

On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the fleet successfully returned to Changsheng Island.

didn't have time to rest too much, Li Yuanqing directly summoned Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma.

They were ordered to build the stage in the most prosperous square in the city as quickly as possible, and it had to be completed by noon of the 30th day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, so that the performance would take place in the evening of the 30th of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

It is no wonder that Li Yuanqing is in such a hurry.

Since ancient times, the best way for the ruling class to control the common people is to induce public opinion. To put it more bluntly, it is the pen stick.

In the past few days, Li Yuanqing has also thought about starting a newspaper to serve as his mouthpiece.

But the foundation of Changsheng Island is too thin, and there are very few cultural people, and the most important component of this is the group of wealthy businessmen of Zhenjiang descent.

But the foundation of Changsheng Island is still the people at the bottom, especially the old Liao people who followed Li Yuanqing in the early stage, the first year of the Apocalypse, and the second year.

At this time, these old Liao people, most of them, were the backbone of the Changsheng Battalion soldier sequence, and they were Li Yuanqing's real people, the most solid supporters, and of course, they were also the biggest vested interests on Changsheng Island at this time.

With the comprehensive quality of these people, even if they run a newspaper, they are just playing the piano to the cow.

But if "The White-Haired Girl" is presented in an easy-to-understand dramatic way, the effect is naturally predictable.

The most important thing is that because of the poor communication conditions, it is impossible for Jingli's attitude towards Li Yuanqing to reach the island so quickly at this time, and Li Yuanqing must take the lead in controlling the public opinion on the island in the most direct way.

At this time, it is the New Year's Festival, and the play "The White-Haired Girl" is obviously at the right time.

As for the newspaper, Li Yuanqing wants to start it now, but he can't eat the big fat man in one bite, the wealthy businessmen of Zhenjiang descent, although he is vassal of Li Yuanqing at this time, but at this time it is still the world of the imperial court after all, and it is still a little difficult to let these sons and brothers who have no worries about food and clothing come to write soft articles for him Li Yuanqing.

The key is that Li Yuanqing must not make mistakes at this time, so he can only be patient. Later, when his prestige was more powerful and there were more low-level literati who were vassals of him, he would select some pens and use them as 'head guns'.

These days, Li Yuanqing, Zhang Yunniang, and Qu Minqiu, although they went to Beijing, but in the back house of the official hall of Changsheng Island, Zhang Baozhu came to take charge, and everything was not abnormal, and they were all on track.

Jiang Gong famously said, "If you go outside, you must first settle inside!" ”

At this time, Li Yuanqing also has a deeper understanding of this sentence.

The stability of the back house can allow Li Yuanqing to have more energy and devote himself to positive affairs.

Soon, Shang Lao Liu returned and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, is there something wrong with this trip to Beijing?" ”

Shang Lao Liu is Li Yuanqing's first assistant, closer than Chen Zhong, for so many years, he has already deeply understood Li Yuanqing's temperament, just now, just looking at Li Yuanqing's expression, he has already realized that there may be something wrong.

Li Yuanqing smiled, threw a cigar to Shang Lao Liu, and did not hide it, and directly recounted the affairs in Beijing to Shang Lao Liu.

Shang Lao Liu's brows couldn't help frowning tightly when he heard this, he didn't expect that this time, Li Yuanqing had a good relationship with Beijing, and there would be such a big change!

"These ~ sons of gentlemen! What a hate! ”

Shang Lao Liu took a sip and looked into Li Yuanqing's eyes, "Yuanqing, what are you going to do?" ”

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and also looked into Shang Laoliu's eyes: "Brother Shang, there is no him!" Stabilize Changsheng Island, stabilize southern Liaoning! Brother Shang, I need you to help me! ”

Shang Lao Liu nodded heavily, and let out a deep breath: "Yuanqing, our brothers, it was not easy to lay the current foundation of Changsheng Island, no matter who wants to take her away from us, it is not so easy!" Don't worry, Yuanqing! I'll take care of the island's affairs! ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, but the expression on his face relaxed, and said with a smile: "Brother Shang, have you counted the harvest from this trip to Nanyang?" ”

Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, the basic ones have been counted. But dozens of Spanish warships, as well as the fleet, are the domain of the military, and the political affairs department has not yet taken over. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, stood up, strode up to Shang Lao Liu, and whispered a few words.

"What?"

"Two, twenty million taels of silver?"

Shang Lao Liu's mouth was about to swallow the football, and he was simply dumbfounded.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother Shang, these silvers can't be taken out directly now." I'm going to seal it in Warehouse 3 first. This is our war readiness and military needs! ”

Shang Lao Liu came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, there is so much silver, we are still afraid of him as a ball!" Even if the imperial court really sends troops to attack us, it is necessary that they will not return! ”

In the last sentence, Shang Lao Liu said extremely ruthlessly, and his face was indescribably hideous!

This is Li Yuanqing's Eternal Island!

It is also the island of eternal life of the old brothers!

It is the brothers who have worked so hard to get back the inheritance that they have spent countless lives, blood and sweat, and so hard, and how can it be touched by others?

Even the imperial court will never do it!

Li Yuanqing patted Shang Lao Liu's shoulder heavily, "Brother Shang, right now, the matter of performing on the stage is our top priority a year ago!" ”

How could Shang Lao Liu not understand what Li Yuanqing meant? Hurriedly nodded and said, "Yuanqing, don't worry, I'll go and watch it myself now!" ”

…………

Shang Lao Liu left, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, pressed the cigar to death in the disk ashtray, and was about to go to the inner study to rest for a while, sorting out his thoughts, but at this time, a personal soldier hurriedly reported: "General, Xu Liang and Xu Steward are here!" ”

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly, and after a moment, he couldn't help but smile: "Xu Liang, this kid is quite fast." Call him in! ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Xu Liang walked quickly in front of Li Yuanqing, kowtowed respectfully, and saluted: "Humble Xu Liang, I've seen the general!" ”

Li Yuanqing stepped forward with a smile, personally helped Xu Liang up, and patted him on the shoulder: "I haven't seen you for many days, but your kid is a lot richer." What do you think? These days are still comfortable, right? ”

Xu Liang smiled: "General, the humble position is not very comfortable now!" Especially after those white-haired ghosts came, the lowly officials had to quarrel with them almost every day. However, General, in terms of iron smelting, a few days ago, the armory workshop made a major breakthrough! ”

"Oh?"

Seeing Xu Liang's confident appearance, Li Yuanqing smiled: "What breakthrough? It's not like we can just build a 6-pounder gun, right? ”

Li Yuanqing knows Xu Xianzi very well, this guy doesn't smile at all on weekdays, I'm afraid I never know what it is~ But this guy also has a benefit, he never speaks, he does things quite steadily, and he also wins Li Yuanqing's trust, and he is Li Yuanqing's henchman in the forefront.

Seeing Li Yuanqing's ridiculous expression, Xu Liang no longer sold Guanzi, and hurriedly explained: "General, building a 6-pounder cannon now is still a lot of difficulties for our arsenal. But~, since these white-haired foreign devils came, our blast furnace iron-smelting technology has made a breakthrough. Just three days ago, the Bird Gun made of stainless steel trained by a new blast furnace of the inferior grade has reached a stable range of about 90 paces, and it can fire 20 rounds in a row without exploding! ”

"Moreover, according to the discussion between the humble and these white-haired ghosts, the strength of the steel at this time is still a little weak. If you want to use steel that meets the standard of a 6-pounder gun to build a gun, there is a great possibility of increasing the range and power! General, the range of the bird's gun, beyond 100 steps, is really not a dream! ”

Xu Liang said, dancing with excitement, like a child.

As a front-line general who has experienced a hundred battles, Li Yuanqing certainly understands what the concept of increasing the range of the bird gun by ten steps is.

In a normal battle formation, the range of the archers with excellent skin of the Houjin Boar is only fifty or sixty paces, and the more elite ones can reach sixty or seventy steps.

In the formation of wild boar skins, there are indeed a very small number of elite, the so-called Baturu, who can open a hard bow, increasing the range of the bow and arrow to 8~90 steps, or even more than 100 steps, but that is only a rarity, a thousand people, and may not be able to pick out one.

In this way, if the power of the bird guns of the Immortal Camp can be stabilized at ninety steps, in the future battle, they will completely and overwhelmingly occupy the advantage against the wild boar skin.

Even if you have to face the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, even if it is the infantry of the Immortal Battalion, there will be more room for maneuver, and even, take the initiative!

"Good! Good! Very good! ”

Li Yuanqing said three 'good' words in succession, "Xu Liang, this matter is very good!" The reason why I will recruit those white-haired blacksmiths to our Immortal Island is so that they can collide with you! Further innovate the craftsmanship level of our armory workshop! By the way, is there such a bird gun here in the armory workshop at this time? Let's try it! ”

Xu Liang smiled, "General, the humble post has been prepared for a long time, just waiting for you to review!" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Go!" Go to the Armory! ”

…………

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

On the test firing range of the armory, the torches were bright.

Five elite bird guns, each holding five new bird guns, carried out more than a dozen rounds of shooting in a row.

As Xu Liang said, the range of these new-style bird guns can basically be fixed at about 90 steps, and because the strength of the gun tube increases, the power has also increased compared with the original.

At a distance of about sixty or seventy steps, you can even shoot directly through the three-layer armor of cotton armor and double leather armor!
