"What does Commander Luo think?" Cao Huachun asked rhetorically. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Luo Yangxing got up and said, "The Luo family is favored by the emperor, and Luo naturally wants to take Jinyiwei to go with him to get rid of thieves and level the world for the emperor!"

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "Commander Luo, if the Demon Sect rebels, the emperor will have to send out the main force near Gyeonggi, and then the heavy responsibility for the safety of Gyeonggi will fall on Wang Dehua's four major battalions and your Jinyi Guard." We suggest that you don't go, and take back the brocade guards that you can collect, and look at the capital. ”

Speaking of this, he lowered his voice again, and said with a solemn face, "Especially those big men of the Donglin Party, you must watch carefully! These things that don't know whether they are dead or alive may take advantage of the chaos to jump out and become demons! To them, except for Zhou Yanru, you don't want to be soft on any of the others!"

Luo Yangxing pondered, and then said, "The Governor is right! The thieves of the Donglin Party will definitely jump out and stumble on the emperor when the time comes. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that for the sake of the post of governor of the three sides, it is said that Zhou Yanru has begun to unite with the governors of various places and force the emperor to use their Donglin Party people! Originally, they lost the three sides, and the emperor did not have to be afraid of them at all, but if the demon sect rebelled and attracted the Tartars to the south, wouldn't the emperor have to throw a rat trap again?"

Cao Huachun sighed sincerely, "Taihe, the emperor is difficult, it is really difficult! Do you say that if this Tartar goes south again, how will the emperor move the Donglin Party? Will he force the governor of Donglin to take refuge in the Tartars? Or will he take refuge in the Demon Sect and the Liukou? Hey, sometimes when I think about it, there is still too little we can do. ”

Luo Yangxing also sighed sincerely, "Duke, now we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." I really hope that this Marquis Qin is really for the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that heroes and heroes come out in troubled times, and it's hard to distinguish between the two until the last moment......"

"Taihe, don't say it again. Let's do it for now. ”

Qin Shuhuai returned to the Jianghe Gang and began to make final preparations before the big war.

He didn't need to worry about the training of the Jianghe Gang, Qiu Dali arranged it well.

At present, he is mainly concerned with the formation, training, and armament of the Shanzhai Five Elements Banner.

The three flags of the Clear Water Banner, the Thick Earth Banner, and the Flame Banner have been formed, and according to his orders, all of them are not lower than the ninth rank of the Xuantong Realm.

The main formation of the Three Banners still follows the common formation of the original Jianghe Gang, that is, ten people form a small formation, divided into forwards, left and right guards, defenders and raids. The middle formation and the large formation are still complete with all arms, and shield soldiers, sword soldiers, crossbow soldiers, and cavalry are lined up in turn. For example, the Qingshui Banner of 500 people is equipped with these arms. The difference is that each of the 500 people of Qingshui Banner also carries a water dragon with green gong oil (strong acid), if you face the enemy head-on, you can use it or not, if it is an ambush or defend the city, then the power of this green gong oil is great.

The principle of the Thick Earth Banner and the Flame Banner is similar, they are equipped with earth mines and thunderbolts, and they are also multi-class battle formations. In this way, not only can they be guaranteed to exert their power when using earth mines and thunderbolts, but they can also be guaranteed to play their original level in normal battles -- the tactics of skillful coordination of multiple arms were still relatively strong in the Ming Dynasty.

Qiu Dali's efficiency was very high, and it didn't take long for him to find three warlocks who knew how to refine green gong oil. Qin Shuhuai gave these three warlocks a salary according to the amount of remuneration, that is, for every catty of green gong oil produced, he would pay three taels of silver, and all the materials and labor costs were paid by Qin Shuhuai. When the three warlocks heard this price, their eyes immediately lit up with joy, and they immediately said that with only enough people, they could mine enough raw materials nearby, and there was no problem at all in making 10,000 catties of green gong oil in a month. With a wave of his hand, Qin Shuhuai asked Qiu Dali to gather three thousand migrant workers for these three warlocks to drive, and then drew a large piece of air for them to refine green gong oil. As for utensils and utensils, as long as they say Qin Shuhuai, they will do it!

The matter of Green Gong Oil was settled, and the matter of Turmine and Thunderbolt was also going well.

Chongzhen sent ten craftsmen who specialized in earth mines and thunderbolts to help Qin Shuhuai make these. However, as soon as Qin Shuhuai's mind turned, he immediately asked people to follow them to learn. Making earth mines and thunderbolts was easy to match, and it didn't take long for many Jianghe Gang people to learn it.

In addition, the Jianghe Gang purchased weapons, armor, horses, grain and grass in large quantities from various cities along the canal, and transported them to the Jianghe Gang through the canal.

Military supplies were transported into the general rudder one by one, and the general rudder could not be put down, so it was transported to the cottage not far from the general rudder, which used to be the secret base of the Jianghe Gang.

In the same way, silver is spent like flowing water.

Qin Shuhuai's family background was originally very rich, and on his last trip to Jiangnan, he brought in more than 3 million taels of silver and jewelry (not counting the two million taels that the Giant Whale Gang had not yet delivered), plus the income from the wharf of the Jianghe Gang in recent months, as well as the income obtained from various "bribes", there were about 4.5 million taels. Here Hua Shen was given one million taels to operate the White Lotus Sect, and about one million taels were spent on the three sides, and there were two and a half million taels left.

These days, he has allocated funds from the east to the west, and now when he calculates it, there are only seven or eight hundred thousand taels left.

The money was not enough, so he started the idea of the Giant Whale Gang again, who made them owe him two million taels? So he went to write a letter, to the effect that the martial arts alliance was about to be held, should your money also be in place?

The Giant Whale Gang is also very good, knowing that now that the invitations have been sent out, the matter of the Martial Arts Alliance is a certainty, so they immediately willingly sent someone to send two million taels of silver tickets.

With money, Qin Shuhuai still buys, buys, buys, and in short, he will never stop if he fills up the warehouse of the general helm and the open space of the cottage.

At the same time, Qin Shuhuai also took time to go to the helm of the beggar gang in Tianjin, and talked to Wang Datong, the leader of the beggar gang. As soon as Wang Datong heard that the Demon Sect had rebelled, he agreed to Qin Shuhuai's proposal to form a martial arts alliance without saying a word.

It turned out that Qin Shuhuai guessed correctly, Wang Datong was not angry every time he saw the people of the Demon Sect, and when he saw Chu Yun, one of the three tones of the Demon Sect, he was even more thorny in his words, and the beggar gang and the Demon Sect really had a big enmity. As soon as they heard that the Demon Sect was going to rebel and take over the world, the beggar gang naturally couldn't sit still.

After returning from the beggar gang, Qin Shuhuai went to the head of the White Lotus Sect again and mobilized several elders before the war. These White Lotus Sect people were all waiting for Qin Shuhuai to ascend to the Great Treasure, and when they heard that they were about to start a war, their fanaticism was higher than that of the Jianghe Gang. However, Qin Shuhuai did not plan to use the White Lotus Sect on a large scale, because his positioning of the White Lotus Sect itself was an intelligence agency, so he just asked them to notify the rudders in various places, and while doing a good job in intelligence gathering, they were also ready to support the coalition forces at any time.

Everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

Twenty days later, Hua Shen hurried from Tianjin, and finally brought the long-awaited and shocking news.

On March 15 of the third year of Chongzhen, the Demon Sect officially rebelled!
