Chapter 226: Strike Again

The two discussed for a long time, from the production of grenades to the cooperation of non-capital trading, they talked about a lot of details, and finally sorted out the cooperation methods between the two sides. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The next day, Qiao Daqing, the owner of the Huashan Sect, received the first business since he came to Donghai Island, which was to help the mixed Yuan sect transport a batch of goods to Guangzhou, including tea, spices, whale oil, glass products, etc., all of which were very valuable things.

For this reason, the mixed yuan sect offered a price of one yuan per ton of goods, which is quite appropriate according to the weight of the goods of 1,600 tons, that is, the value of 1,600 yuan.

Li Xian attached great importance to this transportation, and took out fifty or sixty ships from the pirates, and let Qiao Daqing choose to use them at will.

Li Xian is now a typical situation with a small number of ships, large ships of more than 200 tons are surplus, and there are many ships of 50 to 200 tons, but there are not enough people to use them, and they can only be placed on the dock to be vacant, but these are all sea ships after all, and in terms of tonnage and quality, they are much stronger than the inland river boats used by the boat gang of the Huashan faction.

The mouth of the Pearl River was sealed, and now the transportation has to reach Foshan by sea, and then from Foshan to Guangzhou by river.

Among these goods were whale oil, tea, and many foreign goods, worth hundreds of thousands of silver dollars, which was also considered a lot of gold in this era.

When transporting the goods, Qiao Daqing took Ling Huzhan and other masters to personally press the formation, and Li Xian, Wang Jiuxuan and others also brought three hundred guards to escort them all the way to Foshan.

However, the relationship between the Mixed Yuan Sect and the government was awkward, and he led hundreds of armed escorts to Guangzhou, and Governor Lin had to fight with Li Xian.

Therefore, after arriving in Foshan, Li Xian left most of the guards behind, and only led a team of fifty capable people, and deliberately sneaked into Guangzhou with Qiao Daqing's fleet in disguise, and met with the pick-up man introduced by Wang Jiuxuan and spies for a while, before returning to Donghai Island by the same route.

When he came back, the fleet had an extra forty or fifty thousand pieces of Xian Dayang, and there were more than twenty young disciples sent by the Sanyuan Temple, which was a great harvest.

Sanyuanguan is now fighting with the martial arts masters sent by the imperial court, and he can also send so many young disciples, ostensibly saying that he is training under Wang Jiuxuan, and by the way, he learned the use of Western firearms from Li Xian, who is the first firearms master in Guangdong.

After returning to Donghai Island, Li Xian continued to conduct military training for these Sanyuanguan disciples, allowing them to conduct a series of military training under the leadership of Wang Jiuxuan, from queue training, trench fortifications to musket shooting.

Of course, not to mention often taking these Sanyuan Guan disciples out to sea and going to secret places for some special training.

These Sanyuanguan disciples are all young elite martial artists, and the worst ones are also at the level of the first order or above, and their individual combat ability is very high, but they are used to being idle, and their awareness of group combat is lacking, and they need to cultivate organization and discipline well.

Fortunately, Wang Jiuxuan, as the head disciple, could suppress these people, otherwise just letting these martial artists learn to walk in line would make Li Xian take off a layer of skin.

Yang Tianming, Lin Pingzhi and the others felt a little strange when they saw the disciples of the Sanyuan Temple come to study military affairs with the Mixed Yuan Sect, but they only thought that the relationship between the two sects was very good, and they didn't care much about each other.

"The three-element view is also a good practice, the current firearms are extremely powerful, now learn to use firearms, you will not suffer a big loss in the future. When chatting one day, Yang Tianming commented on the behavior of the three-element view.

That's right. It's just that you haven't noticed, in order to fight vampires, we have also organized a musket team, but compared with Li Xian's escort team, it still seems to be a little worse, but I don't know what's going on. Lin Pingzhi said suspiciously.

It stands to reason that the musket team was formed earlier than the escort team, and the weapons used were better, either rifled guns or air guns and other repeating weapons, and the members were martial artists with many years of experience in martial arts, so they should be stronger than the escort team.

However, Lin Pingzhi's observation was extremely keen, but he felt that if there was really a life-and-death duel on the battlefield, the Lin family's musket team might not be as good as the same number of escorts.

If it weren't for the fact that he knew Li Xian very well, and Li Xian had never hidden anyone from him when he trained the escort team, Lin Pingzhi would have suspected that Li Xian had left a hand in the first place.

"That's true. Yang Tianming agreed, and then said: "It can only be said that it is difficult to find, and Li Xian's martial arts are similar to ours, but the ability of practicing people is too much better than us."

In fact, the practice of the Three Elements Perspective reminded me that it was actually a very good thing to bring some people from the Holy Sect and ask Li Xian to help train and learn how to use firearms. ”

Yang Tianming has been on Donghai Island for a while, but he is reluctant to return to Guangzhou, because he thinks that Li Xian has a lot of new things here, he can hunt whales, he can also learn the use of Western artillery, and he can also learn the training methods of the escort team from the side, which is very helpful for doing things in the future.

Mingjiao has always been a rebel professional household, and now it also has a lot of influence in Guangxi, as well as a professional military organization, Yang Tianming has the idea of learning the art of war from Li Xian.

Ordinary people like to hide their own skills, but Li Xian and others come in reverse, many generals are willing to make public the secret military knowledge, Sanyuanguan can send people to learn the way of military affairs from Li Xian, Mingjiao should also be able to.

Yang Tianming pondered that he would be able to bring dozens of his descendants over to learn the art of war, and in the future, he would be able to rely on these people to form a rebel army of hundreds to thousands of people, and he could also learn how to use Western artillery and firearms, which was much stronger than pondering how to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the poor ravine.

"There are indeed a lot of new things on the side of the Mixed Yuan Sect. Qiao Daqing said perfunctorily, but did not say anything in detail.

Some time ago, Qiao Daqing helped Li Xian transport goods, and after seeing the sea trade goods such as tea, glass products and cloth in the goods, he knew that something was wrong.

Qiao Daqing has also been doing business in Guangzhou for a long time, and when he sees those teas, he can guess where these things originate and which trading house they belong to, and then there are a lot of bad guesses.

Qiao Daqing was an upright person, and originally thought that Li Xian had robbed the goods of the Thirteen Lines, and went to accuse Li Xian, but he didn't expect Li Xian to admit that these were the goods obtained by the Mixed Yuan Sect from robbing two foreign ships.

This statement made Qiao Daqing stunned, and he didn't know how to evaluate this matter, but Li Xian said that he hoped that Qiao Daqing would think about it carefully, and either keep this secret and stop asking about it, or join in and go to sea with the escort team to deal with the British.

With Qiao's gang leader, if Li Xian invited him to rob Chinese merchant ships, he would definitely refuse immediately, but there was not much resistance to robbing foreign merchants who were fighting against his country.

You know, the British merchant ship Mingli is a merchant ship, but some time ago followed the warship to attack the Qing naval division, and joined forces to block the Pearl River estuary, many Chinese hated it.

Huashan Qi Sect is actually not very good in Guangdong, otherwise, with the strength of Qiao Daqing's second-order peak master, he would not be the leader of the boat gang, especially during this period of war between China and Britain, all kinds of freight business have been greatly affected, and many people in the gang can't open the pot at home, and they need the Huashan faction to post money.

At the beginning, Li Xian proposed to let the boat gang go to Leizhou Bay for development, and Qiao Daqing immediately brought people over, also because the situation in the gang was very critical.

However, just cooperating with Li Xian and robbing passing merchant ships, this also seems to be a little wrong, Qiao Daqing is in a dilemma for a while, and he doesn't know how to choose.

While these rising stars in martial arts had their own ideas, Li Xian was carrying out various tasks step by step.

After about a month of intense production, Li Xian produced 50,000 grenades and delivered them to Sanyuanguan.

Li Xian and Qiao Daqing transported the things to a remote wharf in Foshan, and a master sent by Sanyuanguan took over and transported the things away.

In fact, during this period, Li Xian's military factory has been expanded several times, and its production capacity has increased many times, and it is not impossible to produce 100,000 grenades in a month, but it is just that gunpowder cannot keep up.

It turned out that the gunpowder on the market in Macao was almost swept away by the joint efforts of the Sanyuanguan and the Mixed Yuanzong, and the Macau Council was alert to monitor the gunpowder business, which made it somewhat difficult for military production to continue.

However, after dealing with each other some time ago, the Mixed Yuan Sect has formed a good relationship with many decent businessmen and underworld merchants who do gunpowder business, and many businessmen said that they can directly deliver gunpowder and other military items from Luzon in Manila to Donghai Island, and then buy tea and porcelain from Li Xian, so that they can make two trips of money.

If Li Xian's side can provide high-quality goods from the Qing Kingdom, then the price of gunpowder can be reduced after missing a link in Macao.

Li Xian made an appointment with these merchants to buy anything from gunpowder, sulfur, saltpeter, machinery, steel to books, and as for the settlement, it was okay to pay directly from the ocean, or to use tea, sugar, silk, porcelain, whale oil, etc.

Before the Qing and British governments were aware of it, a small smuggling organization outside the Thirteen Seas began to take shape.

However, more important than these is that Li Xian once again attacked the British merchant ships.
