Chapter 450: The Cottage Five Elements Banner

Qin Shuhuai said goodbye to Zhiyuan, Zhiyun, Zhiren and others. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info Zhiyun felt that Qin Shuhuai had saved him twice, and he couldn't repay him, so he gave him some Shaolin specialties, such as dragon and tiger hemostatic dispersion, bruising and intermittent ointment, etc., all of which were excellent medicinal materials. Qin Shuhuai naturally didn't shirk it, and accepted it with a smile.

Out of Shaolin, he worked hard all the way and arrived at the Jianghe Gang three days later.

At this time, his "Dazhongfang" had been miraculously completed. However, although it was completed, Wen Tiren refused to leave, and insisted on waiting for Qin Shuhuai to come back and preside over the completion ceremony before leaving.

Qin Shuhuai thought to himself, it is estimated that Chongzhen asked him to do this again. Chongzhen just wants to do this vigorously so that everyone in the world knows about it.

So Qin Shuhuai had no choice but to hold another completion ceremony, not only participated in it in person, but also held a hundred tables of banquets. The people in the vicinity didn't recognize their lives, and they all came to congratulate them with a smile, regardless of whether they knew or didn't know, the Jianghe Gang would let them sit down.

But these people are also lovely, none of them came empty-handed, the big families have sent silver, there are also jewelry and strange stones, and the small families directly send chickens, ducks and fish, just the chickens have received more than 300 chickens, and the Jianghe Gang is full of chicken feathers, and there is a chicken in the middle of the night or something. However, the brothers of the Jianghe Gang were blessed, and the three hundred or so chickens were made into more than 300 cups of chicken soup the next day, and it is said that the method of making soup was taught by Mrs. Qi herself, and even the soup cup was bought by the old lady herself, and the taste was called a delicious.

After the completion ceremony, Wen Tiren said goodbye with satisfaction.

The Jianghe Gang's combat preparations are also in full swing. On this section of the canal from Tongzhou to Jinmen, there are a total of 58 large and medium-sized wharves on both sides of the river, and all of these wharves are stepping up the construction of fortifications, and there are all kinds of arrow towers and high walls, and the budget alone is as high as 500,000 taels of silver, with an average investment of 10,000 taels for a wharf!

In addition, the Jianghe Gang also sent someone with Qin Shuhuai's handwritten letter to inform the Cao Gang and the Giant Whale Gang, asking them to build fortifications on large and medium-sized wharves like the Jianghe Gang, with only nine words, "The world will be chaotic, and those who have the canal will live!"

Qin Shuhuai said such a thing, although the Cao Gang and the Giant Whale Gang didn't know why he said this, but seeing that the Jianghe Gang was already building fortifications, they didn't dare to slack off at all, and immediately followed the construction. Anyway, the canal is their food business, how dare they take it lightly?

In addition, Qin Shuhuai also has a big plan, that is, he wants to create a copycat version of the "Five Elements Flag".

Why do you say it's a copycat? Because the "Five Elements Banner" of the Demon Sect was all formed after years of rigorous training, and if the Jianghe Gang wants to create a "Five Elements Banner" as powerful as the Demon Sect within a month or two, it is impossible to put it mildly. To give you a casual example, let's say that when the Qingshui Banner faced the cavalry, the "Yijiang Spring Water" formation, the kind of precision that was like a machine, would never have been possible without a three-year exercise. As for the battle formations of the other flags, most of them were unpredictable, and even if he could remember some from memory, he would never be able to teach them.

However, although he couldn't teach the various battle formations of the "Five Elements Banner", he could copy some of the weapons used in the Five Elements Banner.

Qingshui Banner uses a water gun and corrosive strong acid, which has been widely made in the Ming Dynasty. Qin Shuhuai remembered that this thing seemed to be made of green gong, so it was also called "green gong oil", and many Taoist priests who made alchemy would make it, so it was not difficult to find.

The Fire Banner is even simpler, with water dragons (actually water guns) and fire oil, and thunderbolts. Not to mention the oil oil, thunderbolts and thunderbolts were very common in the late Ming Dynasty, and it was not difficult to get them.

The special weapon of the thick earth flag is a thunderbolt buried in the ground, and Qin Shuhuai prefers to call it a "soil mine". In addition, Houtu Banner also has a magical "hole-punching" skill. "Punching holes" seems simple, but in fact, it is necessary to make the holes interconnected, and it is extremely difficult for people not to see it, so I will not learn it first. However, this kind of thing is not a rare commodity in the Ming Dynasty, Qin Shuhuai has money, and of course it can be manufactured on a large scale.

Based on the above, Qin Shuhuai decided to cottage a 500-person Qingshui Banner, a 500-person Fire Banner and a 500-person Houtu Banner. These three banners do not copy the battle formations of the Demon Cult, only their use of various special weapons.

The idea was certain, so Qin Shuhuai called Qiu Dali and Meng Wei and asked the two of them to take charge of this matter. Qiu Dali is an old Jianghu with a wide range of contacts, so let him inquire about the people who can make green gong oil. And Meng Wei was responsible for selecting the people of the three banners from each hall, and in principle, all of them should not be lower than the ninth rank of the Xuantong Realm. After the selection, he also supervises the usual training.

Qiu Dali agreed in one bite, but Meng Wei was in trouble, because he was not very familiar with these weapons, and he didn't know how to use them, how to train his subordinates?

Qin Shuhuai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't have to worry. With the talent of Thunderbolt, he will ask Chongzhen for it, anyway, Chongzhen has now chosen to believe him, and he will not refuse to ask him for a few such people. As for spraying "green gong oil" and "fire oil", then you have to figure it out yourself, everyone can use it more, and you can always master the trick, that is, don't hurt people during training.

Subsequently, Qin Shuhuai waved his pen and allocated 200,000 taels of silver to them to purchase equipment. Anyway, it's just a principle, buy hard, buy as much as you can, and ask him for it if you don't have enough money. In particular, Thunderbolt and Fire Oil are two things that are big killers and can be purchased at any cost.

After everything was arranged, Qin Shuhuai decided to go to the capital again.

On the one hand, he wants to see Chongzhen again to cheer him up, and at the same time make him feel more at ease with himself.

On the other hand, he wanted to meet Cao Huachun, the governor of Dongchang, and Luo Yangxing, the commander of Jinyiwei. In any case, the Demon Sect is a martial arts faction, and the factory guards have always been the minions of the imperial court in the martial arts, and now that the Demon Sect is going to rebel, how can they stay out of the matter?

Therefore, this time to exterminate the Demon Sect, in addition to sending a large army, the imperial court will inevitably send people from the factory guards to join it. In this way, it is very necessary to communicate with them well in advance.

After staying in the Jianghe Gang for five or six days, Qin Shuhuai set off for the capital.

In the evening of the same day, he arrived at the Forbidden City and wanted to meet Chongzhen first. But he didn't want to be told by the eunuch that Chongzhen was not in the palace. Qin Shuhuai originally wanted to inquire where Chongzhen was, but after thinking about it again, he dispelled this idea -- which eunuch dared to tell others the emperor's whereabouts?

However, the eunuch didn't say that he also knew that Chongzhen was not in the palace, so Bacheng went to Liushi Academy.
