Bai Yan and Wei Zhengzi's faces turned pale. "You, are you entrusted by the government?" Bai Yan looked at him in disbelief, this is the famous owner of the Great Lonely Cottage, one of the three major water thieves in Poyang with more than 4,000 troops!

"You've accepted the offer?" Wei Zhengzi also asked.

"Not really." Bai Lang said this to make the two of them breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time raised his hand to wipe the beads of sweat on his head.

"Then why ......?" Bai Yan was still puzzled.

"I talked with Lord Tongzhi for an hour, and made it clear that I wanted to lead my troops to Huxi to reclaim the swamp wasteland, and Lord Tongzhi has promised to send a request to the Xuanfu Envoy of Jiangnan West Road for me, and if Jiangxi does not allow him, he will directly give the emperor a ......."

"Wait, how can he have the right to go directly to Heaven with one acquaintance?" Wei Zhengzi stopped and asked.

"You don't know? Zhao Tongzhi is a yellow belt, and he is an uncle and brother today!"

"I see!" The two were shocked, "But, how do you have a way to find him?"

"I'm amazed, too." Bai Lang said with a smile: "Later, Lord Tongzhi said that it was Li Sanlang, the inspector of the Southern Metropolitan Governor, who tried his best to get him to come to me to talk.

Then Li Sanlang thinks that Bai is only collecting protection money, and has never harmed the travel, etc., although Xiao Juluo grass can redeem the merits, there are also forgivable circumstances."

"Oh! So how does Lord Tongzhi want you to redeem your merits?" Wei Zhengzi asked curiously.

"This time the government is facing a different situation." After Bai Lang finished speaking, he contacted Jiangshan Jun and Tatehuazi and others, and told the two of them about Yang Xing's plot to raid Raozhou.

"Yang Xing is a guest army," Bai Lang said angrily, "This Tatehuazi only cares about his own interests, and he doesn't think about how much loss the Jiangshan army will bring to the local area if they enter Raozhou.

If they are allowed to succeed, the officers and soldiers will be bleeding all over the place, not to mention, how can the people of Raozhou be saved? Bai Lang grew up in Raozhou, and he never wants his father to be poisoned by this!"

"I see!" Wei Zhengzi nodded and looked at Bai Yan, he knew that Bai Yan's parents were originally from Raozhou, but later the family moved to Huxi, and Bai Yan grew up in Huxi.

"We have also heard about the actions of the Jiangshan Army, and I heard that they made a lot of trouble in Fuzhou Mansion, and almost all the rich families were killed, and all the remaining food rations were searched for each family." Bai Yan sighed:

"To be honest, we have been hesitating whether to get on this boat, but the problem now is that we can't get on the boat, then Chen Yuanhai has a lot of people and a big boat, and we can't twist our arms and thighs.

But in this way, I will not wait for them to do the evil of the people, nor will I be willing to use them. Before you came, Daoist Wei and I were talking about this. Alas, I can't do anything!"

"Isn't that the right time for me to come?" Bai Lang said with a smile.

"The white master only went to the island, this courage is admirable. It's just ......."

"Don't worry." Bai Lang smiled and shook his hand: "Tomorrow you should have nothing to do, how to send troops, how to send troops, and someone will help you in the rest."

"Huh?" The two were stunned: "Still let us send troops? But didn't you say that there was an ambush in the official army?"

"The official army is ambushing there to target the Chen family and their sworn friends, what are you afraid of?" Bai Lang told them, "You should accompany him, no, send him away, so that he can go happily, comfortably, and willingly. Someone else will help you, so don't worry about it."

"But ......, if you can't kill his ......, what ......if he slows down and bites back?" Wei Zhengzi frowned and twisted his beard, and said in a slurred. He was afraid that Chen Yuanhai would escape his life and come back to settle accounts with him.

"Be of good cheer!" Bai Lang sneered, gritted his teeth and said, "I came here this time in the name of drinking happy wine, although there are only 100 people around me, in fact, there are thousands of people scattered around Shinao Village.

When you start fighting over there, I will exterminate his village here, which can be regarded as removing a scourge for the people around Jinxian!"

"Understood." Wei Zhengzi slapped his thigh: "Are you borrowing the heads of the Chen family's father and son to submit a certificate of nomination to the government?" The three of them looked at each other and burst out laughing.

Seeing off Bai Lang, Bai Yanda felt a sense of relief. He stood in the room and suddenly let out a sneer, and then said to Wei Zhengzi:

"That's wonderful,

The father and son of the Chen family were smug, but they didn't know that the praying mantis was in front and the yellow finch was behind, and when they were uprooted by others, I would see what else they could do!"

"Well, now I feel much more comfortable, and finally a stone is down! This Bai Lang came really in time, if he arrived half a day or a day late, we would have to bury the Chen family if we didn't do it, wouldn't it be wronged?"

Wei Zhengzi was full of smiles, and the folds on his face seemed to be stretched a lot.

At this moment, Bai Yan turned around and saw Bai Chuan walking towards the door again.

"Hey, why are you here again?" Originally, he arranged for his three sons to take turns to guard the camp at night after he set off, Bai Chuan is the boss, and his position should be in the lobby of the Juyi Hall tonight.

Seeing him reappear in the courtyard dedicated to receiving guests, Bai Yan was a little strange: "Could it be another guest?"

"Father is a true god, and there are indeed guests visiting." Shirakawa replied in surprise.

"Are there really any guests?" Bai Yan looked back at the Dao Chief, "What day is today?"

"Whatever, it's decided anyway, so it's okay for you to see it."

Bai Yan turned around and asked, "Who is it this time?"

"It's the second master of Botang Village." Look at the book

"Huh?"

The Taoist chief reacted first: "Brother, this person can be seen!"

"Please!"

Ren Er strode into the room: "Ren Er has seen Bai Dangjia. Yo, the Taoist is also there? That's great, let's talk about it together, so I don't have to run from house to house."

The two of them were stunned when they heard what he said, Bai Yan asked him to sit down first, and asked, "Running from house to house?" It's so late, how many are you going to run?"

"There's not much time, so I'll go straight down. Two, our Huxi troops this time are a total of thirteen leaders. Ask Daoist Wei, how many families do you think will follow the Chen family with all their hearts?" Ren Er asked this at the beginning, which was quite straightforward.

Wei Zhengzi looked at Bai Yan and said with a slight sigh: "From my Qingyuan Temple in the west to Rhino Bay in the east, we have a total of seven, plus the Fan family in Guizhai and Qinglan Lake, it is ten.

I think the only one who really follows the Chen family is Shangtang Village, and then there is Hutou Village in Qinglan Zhou Datou and Tatehuazi's niece and son-in-law, Lu Jiutang in Yangfang Lake. Uh, I don't know what Second Master Ren meant by asking this?"

"Both of you are smart people, I just want to ask a question, please answer truthfully: If Chen Yuanhai is ambushed and dies, will it be beneficial or harmful to you?" After Ren Er finished speaking, he wiped the short mustache on his thick lips to look at these two.

"Second Master, I'll ask you first," Wei Zhengzi leaned over and lowered his voice and said, "Won't the government send someone to your side tonight?"

"Huh, how do you know?" Ren Er's eyes widened in surprise, and he suddenly understood, "Could it be that someone is already ...... Oh, I see! Ahem, I still want to say that Tongbai is the first to make a difference, but I didn't expect it to be a step too late!"

Hearing him speak in frustration, Bai Yan and Daoist Wei both burst out laughing.

"But...... I can't guarantee that all of these ten families are of the same mind as us." Bai Yan stopped laughing and told them, "Gutang and Rhino Bay are only half sure."

"Whatever!" Ren Eryi waved his hand: "When the time comes, just take them away, and if you don't take them, it's enough to kill them." The Chen family can't beat it, so it's still no problem to have such a chicken feather dish!"

"Wait, let me ask you, how do you know that the official army will definitely win this time?" Wei Zhengzi looked at him very strangely with an excited face, and deliberately asked a question to see what he had to say.

Ren Er beckoned, asked the two of them to gather together, whispered the words that Xie San'er said when he went to his camp, and finally said viciously:

"I think, Chen Yuanhai will definitely not survive! As long as we lead him to Santang Town, the rest of the matter can be solved by the group training, and our Huxi will be less harmful from now on! It's revenge for my third brother!"

"It's good, it's just that there are hundreds, thousands more widows!" Bai Yan sighed.

"Master Bai, don't be merciful at this time." Ren Er shouted:

"Do you know what someone Chen has in mind? He wants to divide your territory to Qinglan Lake, let all the families who are not very obedient go to Qinglan, and then divide Zhou Datou to Junshan Lake, and he will occupy you himself

of Jinxi Lake.

In addition to this, the territories promised to him by Tatehanako are Rhino Bay, Yangfang Lake, Ruihong, Meixi, Shenbu and Datang. What do you think? Do you still want him to come back and be the chief of the whole Huxi?

Hearing Ren Er say this, Bai Yan suddenly understood why Bai Lang wanted to run three hundred miles to pull out the stone naphtha village! If the Chen family is not cleared, it will soon become the fourth force in the Great Lake.

Chen Yuanhai will not only compete with him Bai Lang, but may even join forces with Tatehuazi to cut off both him and the finless porpoise. No wonder he worked hard, he really thought it was for the people of Jinxian to eliminate harm!

In Yugan County, a Tsing Yi herald wearing a hat jumped out of the gate of the Metropolitan Inspection Department and ran south along the street.

He was ordered by Chief of Staff Zhao Jingzi to go to Chen Gangdian to find Li Dan.

The two tooth flags (with toothed edges) on his back were wet by the rain as soon as he went out, but because the owner ran fast, they still "fluttered" in the wind, revealing two big black characters in the round white moonlight above, "urgent" and "pass".

The residents of Yugan have become accustomed to and understood the system and practice of group training, and know that there are two kinds of herald flags: green and black.

The green flag is a quick transmission, which belongs to the transmission of ordinary affairs, and the summons can be conveyed on foot.

Anyone who sees a black flag, pedestrians on the street immediately take the initiative to avoid it, knowing that the emergency is an urgent matter that cannot be delayed, if anyone who is not afraid of death dares to deliberately block it, the herald can be cut without saying a word!

Therefore, whenever the black flag appeared, some good helpers would run and jump behind and shout all the way: "The black flag is passed quickly, and the idlers dodge!" The herald passed all the way through the alley, like a later generation avoiding a fire engine.

While the herald was running on the street, Li Dan was talking with Chen Dayong, Chen Shuangji, and Chen Sanwen around a table of wooden models.

"This bearing is really good, the car is much quieter and the shaft and gears rotate more smoothly. It is...... It's a lot of trouble to make, and a bearing requires two good hands to do it for four or five days with three apprentices, how can this work!

Although the blacksmiths from all towns are now gathered, we have gathered dozens of masters, but we still can't supply them! There are four pairs of wheels on a boat, each with three oars, and dozens of bearings are used at once.

When you're fully equipped, the battle will be over!" Chen Shuangji works as a metalworker, and he speaks loudly. "What's more, the carriage also needs it, we have to take care of it first.

Also, these ironworkers can't be specially made for bearings, and the construction of knives, guns, shovels and pickaxes requires people everywhere!"

"Hmm. The second brother has a point!" Li Dan nodded affirmatively:

"Brother Ziru (Chen Sanwen), now in wartime, we don't have time to adjust production capacity and production capacity, and it's really good to use all new technologies and new components, but the reality is here, we can't pursue perfection too much.

In my opinion, according to the meaning of the brothers, only use the bearings in the most critical parts, and omit the others first, and leave it to us after the war, figure out how to increase production, and then use it on a large scale. What do you see?"

"Well, it looks like that's the way it is!" Chen Sanwen smacked his lips unwillingly.

"It's okay, if the third brother wants to open some, as long as he can win the battle, we will have time to think about it later!" Chen Dayong patted his younger brother on the shoulder and encouraged:

"Use it on the trebuchet's steering base first, and even then, you'll have enough to make a thief drink a pot!"

As for the waterwheel, we don't have time to install the bearings, so let the brothers grit their teeth and get through it. Anyway, they usually tread water wheels in the fields and work just as hard, and no one will blame you for this."

"I'm not afraid of blame, isn't it thinking that it would be beneficial for everyone to save some effort in battle?" Chen Sanwen muttered.

"Okay, then this matter is settled, thank you two brothers!" Li Dan clenched his fists. Chen Dayong and Chen Shuangji were very happy because they had solved the problem, and returned the salute with a relaxed smile on their faces and left politely.

It turned out that because of the idealized design of this bearing commonly used on vehicles and ships, a fierce quarrel broke out between the three brothers of the Chen family due to different opinions, and finally they had to ask Li Dan to come over to make an on-site ruling.

Li Dan listened carefully to Chen Shuangji's opinion and felt that they

It is reasonable to say that he did not actually consider the production capacity problem of this era, which led to the easy agreement with Chen Sanwen's design.

"It's my fault, I thought it was simple, I didn't expect to spend so much time and manpower making this little thing."

Li Dan regretted it a little, he didn't think much about it at the time, he didn't expect that he would spend seven or eight days on it in vain. When the enemy is approaching, these few days may be fatal, although they are not long!

Now we have to sacrifice sturdiness for manufacturing speed, and strive to make up for the lack of durability and reliability with quantity. So Li Dan took the initiative to take responsibility for Chen Sanwen, and he did feel that he was responsible for this matter.

"How can you make Li Saburo responsible, this 'design was completed by me, and the main fault lies with me." Chen Sanwen hurriedly said, "Well, I should have discussed with the two brothers in advance, maybe there won't be such a thing."

"It's a lesson for us!" Li Dan nodded: "We are the designers and decision-makers, and we should communicate with the implementers. In the past, when the carriage came out, the eldest brother was on the scene, so there was no special link to consult with him.

But that doesn't mean that everything we come up with will work and be so reasonable. In the end, we are still too young and inexperienced, and we must sum up these situations in the future to avoid recurrence.

After the war, you set up a factory and a special design department, and then you have to show these experiences, examples, and tell the newcomers what happened, so that they don't have to take detours." Chen Sanwen nodded heavily when he heard this.
