Chapter 47 Preparations for the Advance to the Beneficial Country
The next day, Li Yao got up early in the morning, he was going to discuss the auspicious day of his marriage with Qing'er with the king of craftsmen today, and by the way, he told the king of craftsmen that he was going to Yiguo, and gave him a message that he was about to start moving!
When I came to the craftsman's mansion, I didn't see Qing'er, it seems that before getting married, I can't see Qing'er, there is a custom in ancient times, before getting married, the woman is not allowed to see the man.
Instructed Wang Changzhu to carry the dowry over. Li Yao walked into the hall and looked at the craftsman king sitting in the hall, Li Yao arched his hand and said, "The younger generation has seen grandpa!" ”
Haha, the craftsman king helped Li Yao and said, "Master Hou, don't be so polite, it's too outward!" ”
Li Yao said with a smile: "Grandpa Craftsman Wang, I sent the dowry gift this time, and by the way, I will tell you that my marriage with Qing'er is scheduled for the end of next month!" ”
The craftsman smiled heartily: "Okay! If the woman is not staying, it's time to get married! ”
Li Yao also smiled and said, "Grandpa Craftsman, I'm going to Yiguo tomorrow, do you have anything you want?" I'll bring it back for you! ”
Sure enough, when the craftsman king heard that Li Yao was going to Yiguo, his laughter stopped abruptly, and said: "You don't need to bring things to the old man, you just go and do what you should do well, and I will keep an eye on the Firearms Bureau, and strive to build Ouyang Cannon when you come back!" ”
Li Yao stared at the eyes of the craftsman king and said softly, "Grandpa Ouyang, I won't let you down!" ”
"That's good, that's good!" King Craftsman took a sip of tea and smiled again: "Come, let's continue to discuss your marriage with Qing'er!" ”
Li Yao didn't eat in the Jiangwang Mansion, because he was ready to set off tomorrow, and he still needed to carefully plan the route, from Yixian County to Yiguo, he had to walk half a circle around the mountain to get to the pass between the two countries, and this half circle around was five hundred miles, which really made Li Yao very nerve-wracking, Qi Guo went around five hundred miles, Yiguo also had to go around five hundred miles, obviously it was separated by a mountain, but it took a thousand miles to go around, if it wasn't for this time to visit Yiguo, Li Yao really wanted to climb over the mountain!
After all, Li Yao is the first prince of Qi State, because Qi State is a country split from the previous dynasty, and everything is in accordance with the rules of the previous dynasty, then Li Yao's envoy to other countries will be too troublesome.
Li Yao didn't plan to report, because he wasn't going to bring the army, Li Yao, as the concubine of King Qi, didn't travel with the army, it wasn't a big deal, and the Qi country didn't particularly restrict the freedom of the princes, everything was very loose, so Li Yao was given an opportunity!
When he returned to the Hou Mansion, Li Yao called Shen Hezhi and the blind man, because this time Li Yao went to Yiguo to take these two people with him.
Li Yao asked, "Hezhi, what is your plan for transporting things this time?" ”
Shen Hezhi said: "This time, I plan to set up two transit warehouses on the border between Qi and Yiguo, one is in Kangshan County, Qi State, and the other is waiting for Yiguo, and I am investigating!" ”
As for transporting things, if it is a knife and soldier, then the border is the saddest level, and it will take me a while to get familiar with the border guards before I can decide, if it is other materials, I can solve it as soon as possible!
No matter which country to transport, the border is always the saddest pass, as long as the border is crossed, it is easy to do, there are many mountain roads in Yiguo, as long as I am willing to pay money, even if I don't take the official road, I can also transport things to any place in Yiguo!
Li Yao recalled that when he gave Su Feiguang 500 pieces of equipment, the transportation was really deadly, and this was a way for the thin monkey to smash a way with money. If it weren't for Su Feiguang to lay down his influence in Yiguo, Li Yao really didn't want to pay this money at that time, but fortunately, Su Guangfei's development in Yiguo was still very satisfactory. When you go to Yiguo this time, you must go to Su Feiguang for a turn!
Looking at Shen Hezhi, Li Yao took out a grenade and an explosives bag from under the table, "These are the two main things I asked you to transport this time!" ”
Shen Hezhi took it, looked left and right, and didn't see what it was. So he asked, "Master Hou, what are these two things!" ”
Li Yao said: "You don't need to know what this is? I just need you to ship these two things to Yiguo! ”
Shen Hezhi slapped himself in the mouth, "It's the villain who has a lot of mouths, and the villain shouldn't ask." ”
Hey, Li Yao persuaded: "I'm relieved to leave things to you, if you handle this matter well, I will never treat you badly!" ”
Shen Hezhi nodded: "Don't worry, Master Hou, I will definitely complete what you told me!" ”
Li Yao nodded, okay, you go down and prepare first, tomorrow morning and dawn, come to the house to gather, let's go together!
Yes, Shen Hezhi arched his hand, and then bowed out of the house.
"Blind, how are your scouts, are they all arranged?" Li Yao asked.
The blind man replied: "I am going to arrange my scouts in each county of Yiguo in the form of squads, because each squad has at least three local veterans of Yixian County, so the discipline can be assured, there are a total of three hundred squads under my hands, more than 50 counties in Yiguo, and I can put five squads in each county and the town to which I belong!" In addition, I will set up secret bases in each county, and information will be exchanged in each county! It's just that big brother, I calculated the cost a little last night, and I need at least 200,000 taels of silver this time to make my plan run normally, and it will cost at least 100,000 taels every month! ”
Li Yao silently thought that the 100,000 recruits had been trained for more than a month, and it would take at least two months to take shape, and it would take him more than a month to go to Yiguo, and the recruits could just be pulled out!
If you launch an offensive against the three counties in the north of Yiguo in two months, it will take at least a month to conquer and loot the local wealth! Looks like it's going to take me at least three months to get the money!
So, blind man, I will give you 500,000 taels of silver this time, and after four months, I will give you the rest of the silver. Anyway, you must handle this matter for me, especially the three counties in the north of Yiguo, you have to release double the reconnaissance team, and when the time comes, you will prepare for me to seize the county seat and govern the place.
With Li Yao's money guarantee, the blind man said: "I can give you a military order for this matter, if it can't be done, I will come to see you!" ”
Li Yao smiled and said: "Okay, blind man, if you make it beautiful for me, after taking down Yiguo, you are the first merit, and I will make you a county candidate!" ”
The county candidate is a serious title! The entire Qi country is just Li Yao, and when the blind man heard this, Li Yao gave him such a rich reward, and he was speechless with excitement, "Big brother, my life will be yours in the future!" You tell me to go east, and I will not go half a step west! ”
Li Yao poured a scoop of cold water at the right time, "Blind, you have to work hard, all this is on the basis of all your successes, fighting alone and behind enemy lines, this is very acceptable, you must not let me down!" ”
The blind man nodded and said: "Big brother, don't worry, my father used to work behind enemy lines, and I almost learned everything he gave me, and I also systematically handed it over to my subordinates, in terms of knowledge, there is no problem!" It's the ability to adapt, they are still a little insufficient, this can only be honed by themselves, in terms of security, all the reconnaissance classes I have taken a single line of contact, if a reconnaissance squad is destroyed, it will definitely not affect the work of other reconnaissance squads! Big brother can rest assured of this."
Well, if you say that, I'm relieved, blind, this is your first battle, and it is also the first battle of our Yixian Legion, I hope you can fight it well!
Okay, blind man, go back and prepare, let's leave Yiguo on time tomorrow morning!
