This made Qiu Yizhi anxious, and it was only after saying that the comprador took a step back: after the comprador returned to Mingzhou, he immediately sent a clipper to the Wa Kingdom to ask the old shipowner Li Zhi for approval, and it took six or seven days to come and go; During this period, he began to organize the fleet by himself, and Zhou Cijing's goods could also be transported to the port of Mingzhou, and as soon as the old shipowner's reply arrived, he would load the ship and set sail, and it would not delay time.

This approach is actually a bit risky for the supplier, but with Qiu Yizhi as a guarantee, Zhou Cijing can more or less rest assured, and finally agreed after several considerations.

When the representatives of the Zhou and Li families saw that the business was completed, they were very happy, and after a rough calculation of this single business, excluding the customs duties, both sides could make a net profit of 100,000 taels of silver. Zhou Cijing's henchmen on the side adhered to the intention of the owner, and wanted to give half of the profit—that is, five thousand taels of silver—to Qiu Yizhi; Li Zhi's side should also handle the same, but 5,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, and the comprador of the Li family still can't be the master, and he also needs to report to the old ship owner Li Zhi to apply.

Qiu Yi knew these tens of thousands of taels: with his kindness to the Li family, Li Zhi would definitely agree without hesitation. However, now that the Japanese are making trouble, the goods sent by Zhou Cijing may be in danger of being robbed by the Japanese - this makes Qiu Yizhi a little worried.

Li Zhi's comprador listened to this, and finally made his own return, patted his chest and promised: As long as the Li family's beluga flag is planted on the Zhou family's boat and car, the Japanese will have a hundred courages and will not dare to come over and plunder.

At this point, the two wealthy businessmen of the Han Dynasty - Zhou Cijing and Li Zhi - were finally connected through the button of Qiu Yizhi.

Qiu Yi's heart thought that in the future, every moonlight would be less than tens of thousands of taels of silver from these two families, and she was overjoyed, but she thought that Xiang Yong had just become an army and had no capable blades, so she asked Li Zhi's comprador to find some fine Japanese knives and send people to Shanyin County.

Buying and selling blades without permission is a crime in the Han Dynasty, and if you are caught by Shangguan and get entangled in poverty, you will be killed. This is an extremely risky transaction in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of Li Zhi's compradors, who are accustomed to smuggling business, it is a trivial matter—the comprador thought about it for a while, and then matched the number with Qiu Yizhi, and then agreed with his mouth.

At this point, this big deal has been made by Qiu Yizhi, but now that he is using the money, the business cannot be delayed for a day or two, so he asked Zhao Fuyi not to delay in Shanyin County, so he followed the comprador left by Li Zhi and returned to Mingzhou to preside over the intermediary affairs.

Qiu Yizhi was not at ease with Zhao Fuyi, and originally intended to send someone by his side, called auxiliary, but in fact, he was not around him with anyone who could read and write and understand the economy, so he taught Zhao Fuyi to leave his family to live in Shanyin County, in fact, he was held hostage by himself.

Zhao Fuyi was extremely afraid of Qiu Yizhi, of course he didn't dare to object, so he had to agree, and after saying goodbye to the same pair of children, he rushed to Mingzhou.

As soon as he arrived in Mingzhou, he sent a light fast boat to deliver a letter to the Japanese country, and he collected more than 200 good knives from the Japanese country and sent people to Shanyin.

Qiu Yizhi collected the sword, and saw that although this batch of weapons was not as good as the Bohai Treasure Sword in the hands of Zhao Chengxiao and others, the steel fire was more than one step better than the sword in the hands of the ordinary local Jiedu army, so he distributed it.

At the same time, Qiu Yizhi sent a special letter to Cui Nan, the general stationed in Quzhou, to train the two hundred villagers under his command, according to the standard training of the old Youyandao army, and called 100 sets of crossbows and shields to Cui Nan, the general stationed in Quzhou, to train crossbowmen and soldiers of the "dangya battalion".

The use of weapons in the army is a major event, not to mention the use of such special equipment. Although the general Zuo who guarded the arsenal was born in the old Youyan Dao army, he knew the origin of Qiu Yizhi's "His Royal Highness of Righteousness", but he did not dare to be self-conscious, and after receiving the letter, he immediately transferred to the general Cui Nan.

At this time, Cui Nan received the holy decree of Emperor Zheng Rong, and had left Quzhou, and chose to set up a branch in Hangzhou to preside over the anti-Japanese affairs of Jiangnan Province.

By the time Qiu Yizhi's letter arrived at him, another three or four days had passed.

Cui Nan is the person who knows Qiu Yi's identity, and he also knows his status on the side of Emperor Zheng Rong, so he approved it without thinking about it, and the heirs went directly to the Quzhou camp to transfer equipment and send it to Shanyin County.

He also said that there are two cadres under the command of the current emperor Zheng Rong, one is the left general Cui Nan, and the other is the right general Wei Hu. Among them, Cui Nan was born in a foot, taciturn, and good at attacking; Wei guards the family of generals, with a mouth like a river, and is good at defense. When these two people were in Youyan Dao, they followed Zheng Rong to attack the Turks in the north, made great achievements, and made new achievements in the battle of rebellion, and have achieved the top rank among the generals, only under Dai Luanxiang, the "first general in the world".

These two famous generals are now each leading an army, one is guarding Jiangnan and the other is guarding Yungui, what they want is to block Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, who has always been unsubordinate, in a corner of Lingnan, and then deal with it when the time is ripe.

However, at present, the rebellion of the Japanese in Jiangnan Province is one after another, and the Jiedu Army of Jiangnan Province is unable to quell the rebellion, so Cui Nan was ordered to take command of the counterinsurgency nearby.

However, if he was commanded by Wei Hu, a general who was good at defense, he could have defended the entire southeast coast like an iron barrel, first cutting off the passage for the Japanese to invade, and then calmly cleaning up the Japanese who had penetrated deep into the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Cui Nan is known for his attack, although he can always win the battle when he encounters the Japanese Kou, regardless of their number of people, but he is not good at taking the battalion step by step, and he cannot draw out all the troops in Quzhou.

Cui Nan had just approved Qiu Yizhi's document to receive equipment, and a battle report came: it was said that a large group of Japanese robbers, with a total of about 3,000 people, were driven north by Zheng Gui, the king of Lingnan, and Keri was about to enter Jiangnan Province, and it must be suppressed in time. There is also a battle report that the scattered Japanese pirates who had infiltrated the hinterland of the south of the Yangtze River have also gathered, numbering more than 500 people, and have gradually slaughtered Jinling.

These two military situations are not something that can be ignored, but the two places are far apart, and Cui Nan thinks that he has limited troops, if he divides them into two, it will be difficult to form an absolute advantage over the invading Japanese invaders, and even if he can win the battle, it will be a bloody battle.

Although Cui Nan is good at attacking, he is very cautious in the use of troops, and he cannot act unless he thinks about it carefully.

He thought about it and weighed it left and right - there were many Japanese people at the junction of Lingnan Road, and the area was full of mountains and hills, if he did not encircle and annihilate them at the first time, I am afraid that the Japanese would infiltrate into Jiangnan in large numbers; Jinling City is the center of the Han Dynasty in the south, known as the "accompanying capital", if it is invaded by the Japanese invaders, the world is bound to shake, and it cannot be ignored.

Cui Nan took a long time, and finally made up his mind: the Japanese from Lingnan are the main force, and in order to prevent the king of Lingnan from taking advantage of the chaos to make other moves, he must personally lead the army and completely annihilate it with a quick knife.

As for Nanjing, Cui Nan had an idea, called the military secretary office, and dictated an order by himself.

Cui Nan's book office is a local person in the south of the Yangtze River, and his writing is also very fast, while listening to Cui Nan's words, he wrote an order: "With Qiuyizhi of Shanyin Zhixian County, immediately lead the army to Jinling to suppress the Kou, you must hold on to the strong city, not attack easily, and after the triumph of the general, you will attack together." If you violate the military order, you will not be spared! ”

Cui Nan took this ink undried military order, looked at it, and threw it away without thinking about it, and asked the secretary to redraft a military order according to his original words:

"Please Shanyin County Qiu Lord immediately lead the army to Jinling to resist the Japanese invaders, everything can be done cheaply, it is recommended that the Lord rely on the high wall of Jinling, first defend and then attack, and after the end of the general annihilation of the stubborn bandits, the same lord will hunt under the city."

The scrivener sent the redrafted document to Cui Nan, but he looked at the high-ranking general with a puzzled look and asked, "General Cui, military orders have always been clear and strict, why do you need to write so politely?" A small county order, as soon as the general stretched out his hand, he pinched him to death like an ant. ”

"Fart! What do you know? Cui Nan immediately scolded, "Seal it as it is and send it to Shanyin County." ”

Cui Nan said little, but as soon as he spoke, he was categorical, and the bookstore had to do it.

Cui Nan used six hundred miles of expedited horses to deliver military orders, so his extremely polite military order was delivered to Qiu Yi in just one day.

At this time, although Qiu Yizhi's men did not have the special equipment, they could only practice some basic martial arts.

In particular, Qiu Yizhi specially invited Wei Chi Jiming to create a set of knife techniques suitable for ordinary soldiers. Yu Chi Jiming's martial arts are known for their elegance and flexibility, and the same is true for the original set of knife techniques, which seems to be more than enough to be clever and not practical.

Qiu Yizhi is also a person who has seen the world, and after reading it a few times, he knew that this set of knife techniques was not suitable for widespread promotion in the army, so he asked Wei Chi Jiming to modify it.

Yu Chi Jiming was already interested in this matter, and when he heard that Qiu Yizhi was still quite dissatisfied with the knife technique he had worked so hard to create, he became a child's temper and simply left the picker and quit.

It was Wu Ruofei who had a very sweet mouth, so he persuaded Yu Chi Jiming to come back. So Yu Chi Jiming no longer used any kit kat moves, and only slightly modified their Yu Chi family's set of introductory boxing techniques to a set of simple knife techniques, and handed over the errand.

However, unexpectedly, this set of straight-forward knife techniques actually worked very well. Not only is the power of the move quite impressive, but it is also very convenient to learn, so that the newly recruited soldiers of Qiu Yi have already practiced it without wasting any effort.

In addition, Lin Shuhan also showed rare patience, starting from the "Three Character Classic", "Hundred Family Names", and "Thousand Character Text", together with the newly recruited 200 Xiangyong and Qiu Yizhi's original 18 personal soldiers, to read and hyphenate from scratch.

These new and old soldiers are illiterate mud legs, and it is more difficult to teach them to recognize three words than to ask them to pick a tank of water.

However, Lin Shuhan was extremely strict, and anyone who did not understand the Chinese characters stipulated today would have to stay in class to make up for the lessons until he passed the test. But as soon as you stay in the hall, you have to delay the rest and practice time, and it is a trivial matter to take a nap for a quarter and a half of sleep, if you are late for the exercise, the leading Zhao Chengxiao can no matter what the reason is, it is another board to pull up.

Many soldiers were tired of being beaten by such a two-headed board, and wanted to leave the team several times, but Qiuyi's military salary was given richly, and when they left the gate of the barracks, they could no longer earn this silver. In desperation, they could only look at the money and barely support it.

Under such a combination of soft and hard, the rabble, which was originally scattered, has been trained quite effectively in less than half a month.

Therefore, when Qiu Yizhi received the military order, he was also quite excited, and thought: "The giant shield and crossbow I transferred from Cui Nan have not yet arrived, so naturally I can't contact the special tactics of Lao Youyan's army, and the army is not really an army." However, after these days of hard training, the combat effectiveness of these two hundred or so people is also different from what it used to be, maybe it is just right to try the edge with the Japanese Kou? ”
