Chapter 164: Zhu Jiu wants to sneak attack
Hearing that there were still people in the government who put pressure on the Fuwei Dart Bureau and did not let the Fuwei Dart Bureau support the Mixed Yuan Temple, Li Xian and Zhao Hu glanced at each other and nodded without a trace, understanding that the affairs of the government had not really been resolved, and they didn't know when and in what form they would attack.

Chen Youfu also talked about one of the things that touched the most during this trip, it turned out that the emperor sent Qin to Guangdong to preside over the ban on smoking, and in June he sold cigarettes in Humen, and destroyed opium worth 9 million taels at once, which made everyone marvel.
When Chen Youfu heard about such things, he took a boat from Foshan to Humen to watch.
It is said that there was a sea of people that day, and the people of the Qing Kingdom and foreigners all went to watch, and they were all smacked after watching the big scene.
Many opium sellers were touched by this process, and told Lin on the spot that they would never sell opium again in the future, and would never violate the laws of the Qing Dynasty.
"What, the sale of cigarettes in Humen has already happened? It is now thirty-nine years, why should it start selling cigarettes now? Shouldn't it start in forty years?" Hearing this news, Li Xian finally lost his color and couldn't help but scream.
"This is what happened a few days ago, the sect master said that the time is not right, I don't know what it means?" Chen Youfu asked strangely.
"It's nothing, I just think it's happening too fast, and if only I had been there and seen something like that. Li Xian hurriedly covered it up, and then diverted the topic.
Afterwards, Li Xian felt anxious, the sale of cigarettes in Humen is about to begin, the Opium War is about to start, and the British are coming, but I only have more than 100 soldiers here who have not been trained, and they are not yet useful, can such a big epic plot only be watched in Leizhou?
Li Xian felt that Humen had sold cigarettes early, but in fact, his own historical knowledge was not good, and it turned out that all the historical knowledge taught by the physical education teacher was returned to the music teacher.
In the history of the Li Xian plane, the sale of tobacco in Humen also occurred in June 1839, which was the fuse of the Opium War, and the time when the Opium War really started was 1840.
Li Xian just confused the time when Humen sold cigarettes with the time when the Opium War began, and it can only be said that he usually doesn't study well, no wonder he was thrown by the main god to suffer in this place where birds don't lay eggs, and everyone shouldn't learn from him.
Li Xian was thinking about the sale of cigarettes in Humen here, and he was full of doubts in his heart, and another troublesome matter came again.
Originally, when attacking Haiyanluo, the people of the Mixed Yuan Sect had captured dozens of pirates, but they felt that these pirates were troublesome to deal with, and it would hurt Tianhe to kill them directly, so Li Xian was in charge and threw some money to the pirates and let them fend for themselves.
However, Zhao Hu will be an old man, and he feels that this matter has to be wasted, so he dragged a lightly injured pirate aside, gave him dozens of oceans, and asked him to be the internal response of the Mixed Yuan Concept, and if he heard that others were going to do something unfavorable to the Mixed Yuan Concept, he would come over to report it, and the reward would be big at that time.
Originally, this was an idler, even Zhao Hujiang himself didn't care, but he didn't expect this pirate to be careful, and he heard very important information and reported to the Mixed Yuan Temple.
It turned out that the pirates who were injured and captured at the beginning, but later healed, they threw themselves under the command of other pirates, and this Nei Ying of the Mixed Yuan View went with someone to Zhu Jiuye on Jinzhou Island.
Originally, Zhu Jiuye and Chaoyuanguan said that they would not invade each other, but later saw that Mingyuanguan was dedicated to doing business, and it didn't look like he wanted to rob him of pirate business, so he was relieved, and felt that it was a good thing not to have to fight with such a powerful opponent.
Unexpectedly, some time ago, a mysterious person visited Zhu Jiuye, pouted in many ways, and promised various benefits, so that this Zhu Jiuye actually had the idea of competing with the Mixed Yuan Concept, and planned to find an appropriate time one day to attack the Mixed Yuan View and seize the foundation of the Mixed Yuan Concept.
There was nothing else in this news, but the pirate said that the mysterious man sent Zhu Jiuye a lot of foreign guns and cannons, and was willing to send many martial arts masters to assist, which made Zhu Jiuye make up his mind to attack the Mixed Yuan Temple, and this news had to make the people of the Mixed Yuan Temple shocked.
Li Xian carefully questioned the pirate, inquired about the information about the firearms and masters, and carefully inquired about the situation of Zhu Jiuye's stronghold, before giving the pirate a lot of rewards and letting him go back and continue to lurk.
"Zhu Jiu has obtained a lot of firearms, what can I do?" Several people in the Mixed Yuan Concept have seen the force of gunpowder weapons, and they feel that Zhu Jiu's subordinates are much more than the Mixed Yuan Temple, and they will inevitably have wings like a tiger with firearms, and they can't help but worry.
"Zhu Jiu is a little pirate, he may not be able to use firearms when he gets them, and the quality of the firearms he gets is also a problem, we don't have to scare ourselves, let's find out first. Li Xian didn't care very much.
However, having said that, the Mixed Yuan Sect's side is also loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and from this day on, it has strengthened the training of the escort team to prepare for the next war.
Li Xian is more accustomed to small-scale raids, and he is not very experienced in battles with more than a few hundred people, but this is not the time to retreat, so he takes a lot of relevant military books to read and prepare for the next battle.
At this time, the West had not yet started large-scale trench warfare, but the content of various engineer training and facilities was also very detailed, so Li Xian cooperated with some of his own perceptions and tried to dig trenches, erect fences and earthen walls, and arrange various defense facilities outside the Mixed Yuan Temple.
Now that the Mixed Yuan Sect is not short of money, it hires nearby fishermen to make corresponding arrangements on the road from Yaluo Bay Wharf to the Mixed Yuan Temple.
As for the ships, Chen Youfu was also asked to make proper arrangements, some were anonymously put in other ports and docks, some were lent to others for use, and some were even put on Hainan Island, in short, except for one or two necessary ships, the other ships were not placed in Yaluo Bay as much as possible.
Every night, the guards are arranged to patrol and guard everywhere, and various open and secret sentinels are arranged, as if the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is full of buildings, and the vigilance is tightened.
Li Xian himself also stepped up his martial arts training, transforming the original Tiger Killing Knife Method into a more suitable internal cultivation method of the Seven Injuries Fist, almost recreating a knife method, and finally simply renamed the transformed knife method to the Seven Killing Sword Method.
General Zhao Hu and Chen Youfu also secretly organized fishermen in local fishing villages to closely monitor the living people entering and leaving Yaluo Bay, and also paid attention to whether any fishermen would collude with outsiders and want to harm the mixed yuan concept.
Many of the fishermen in the fishing village work in the soap workshop or come to work as guards, and a lot of whale meat and oil that go out to sea to hunt are also sold to the mixed yuanguan, and the relationship with the mixed yuan concept is very good, and they are very willing to cooperate with Zhao Hujiang and others to fight against external threats.
Of course, Zhao Hujiang and others are also very generous in giving money.
More than ten days after the mixed yuan sect received the news of the intentional invasion of Jinzhou Island, on a dark and windy night of a month, the sentries who were monitoring the sea from a high place finally discovered that dozens of ships were heading towards Yaluo Bay from the sea.
The Fuwei Dart Bureau has been fighting vampires during this time, and there is no shortage of night vision dao species in his hands, and when Chen Youfu came back, he traded dozens of night vision dao seeds with the Fuwei Dart Bureau.
Ordinary Dao Seeds will always transform Necromantic Dao Seed after refining, so it can't be used, but this Night Vision Dao Seed is a one-time Dao Seed, as long as the Necromantic Qi is expelled and refined at that time, there will be no consequences, Li Xian let several powerful subordinates refine Night Vision Dao Seed, so as to take advantage of it in the field.
These night-vision dao species, combined with the binoculars purchased by foreigners, can increase the reconnaissance ability of the escort team at night many times.
After Wang Erlang re-entered the escort team, Li Xian felt that his name was too close to the people, so he named him Wang Xiaoming, and now he is the squad leader.
Wang Xiaoming didn't dare to delay, and immediately reported to Qian Dafu on duty, and then notified Li Xian and the others, and finally woke up all the guards, and took advantage of the night to enter the position with weapons, ready to fight with the invading enemy.
