Chapter 948: Secret Discussion
After dealing with this batch of foreigners, Qian Qingjian announced: "We will take over these ten cannons, and the Jiao gang leader is responsible for escorting them to Shuntian Mansion." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Ah Jiu asked worriedly: "This time we have punished the Portuguese, what should we do if we need to buy new cannons in the future?"
Qian Qingjian said with a smile: "This is easy to do, the arsenal will soon be our family's industry." ”
As early as the departure from Nanjing, he had already arranged for Zheng Zhilong to lead the newly recruited martial arts people to attack Macao, and he took the capture of Macao and the occupation of the arsenal as his first goal, which had at least one advantage, that is, it would greatly increase the level of long-range attack of Zheng's fleet. When it comes to naval warfare, the strength of the ship is one thing, and the advantage of artillery is the last word.
Ah Jiu was very excited when he heard this, if the artillery factory became the Qian family's industry, and then wanted to add firepower to the Ming army, the cost would be even cheaper.
returned to the inn rented by his family, Qian Qingjian did not participate in the drawing of lots for his wives and concubines, but found a quiet room to be alone. His martial soul had always followed Yuan Chengzhi and the others to cover another inn, and he wanted to find out what Yuan Chengzhi's purpose was here.
In another life in memory, Yuan Chengzhi also appeared here, and he and Xia Qingqing met with Li Yan, a general under Li Zicheng, and his wife. If nothing else, then the Confucian scholar and the woman in red he saw on the street corner tonight should be Li Yan and the red lady.
Li Yan is Yuan Chengzhi's brother, and in another life, they met here to destroy the ten cannons purchased by the Ming court, and this is the case.
However, unlike in another life, the Portuguese officers and soldiers who were escorting the cannon had already gone hand in hand, and if Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi still wanted to destroy the cannon, then the person they had to deal with would become the Qian family.
Old Qian now wondered what they were going to do with him.
Now that the foreigners have disarmed themselves and gone blind, no one has asked Yuan Chengzhi to sell the guest room. At this time, in a set of upper rooms in that inn, Li Yan and his wife were discussing with Yuan Chengzhi and Xia Qingqing, a prospective couple.
Li Yan sighed: "Originally, I planned to wait for the autumn rain to come, so that it would be safer to act, but who knew that this Hongyi cannon actually fell into Qian Qingjian's hands...... In this way, I am afraid that it will be more difficult to deal with than in the hands of foreigners. ”
The red lady echoed: "Yes, it is possible to annihilate the firearms of foreigners on a rainy day, but now it is not enough to annihilate firearms......"
At this point, her eyes suddenly lit up: "I heard that this Qian Qingjian doesn't seem to have the same heart as Ming Ting, do you see if we can understand it......"
Li Yan shook his head and said, "The lady is only half right, then Qian Qingjian is indeed not the same as the imperial court, but I heard Brother Chengzhi say that he despises King Chuang even more, how can he let him help us?"
Xia Qingqing interjected: "Brother Li is right, when we came out of Nanjing, we heard that this blind man married Princess Kunxing of the current dynasty again, and you asked your son-in-law to help us beat his father-in-law, is that possible?"
The red lady frowned when she heard this: "It turns out that there is such a thing, I really lost my words just now." ”
Li Yan said: "The lady doesn't have to feel guilty. Let's figure out a way together, maybe anyone's way is necessarily right, speak freely, but from the current situation, this matter is quite tricky, you have also seen Qian Qingjian's kung fu today, this flying needle ...... This flying needle...... Alas!"
Li Yan couldn't directly describe Lao Qian's flying needle magic skill, only a heavy sigh remained.
Yuan Chengzhi also said with a sad face: "The most critical question is not his flying needle magic skill, Brother Li, sister-in-law, have you thought about it? Why did those Western soldiers suddenly stand still? It was as if someone else had clicked on the acupoint, but we can all see clearly, that Qian Qingjian didn't make any movement at all, isn't this impossible to fight?"
The red lady nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Yuan is on the point, if we don't figure out how the surname Qian makes others stiff, then it will be difficult for us to come up with a way to fight against it." Knowing oneself but not knowing the other, how can this battle be fought?"
Yuan Chengzhi shook his head and said: "It seems that I can only wait for my master and senior brother to come, my teacher was very angry when he learned what happened in Nanjing, and he said that he would come to Qian Qingjian to settle accounts in person." ”
The red lady asked, "Is it for your nephew Sun Zhongjun?"
Yuan Chengzhi nodded: "Yes, my teacher said that even if Sun Zhongjun kills innocents indiscriminately on weekdays, he shouldn't be insulted, and my Huashan faction can't accept such insults." ”
While speaking, someone knocked on the door outside, and the knocking sound was three long and two short, Li Yan got up and said, "It was King Chuang who sent someone to assist us." So saying, he walked over and opened the door.
Three people came in from outside the door, and when they saw Li Yan, they all saluted, and the first one said: "General Li, King Chuang sent the three of us with five hundred archers to assist you." ”
Li Yan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Tian, you are really too timely!" After that, he led the three of them into the house and introduced them to Yuan Chengzhi one by one, the leader of the people who came was Tian Jianxiu, one of the four iron guards around Li Zicheng, and the other two were called Liu Fangliang and Hou Feiwen.
Everyone sat down to speak, and Li Yan asked: "Brother Tian, how could King Chuang send you out to do things, without your improper Tianlong Sword Technique, how to protect King Chuang's safety?"
Tian Jianxiu said: "There are also Hu Miaofan and the three of them, as long as Brother Hu is by King Chuang's side, no one in the world can harm King Chuang." ”
Liu Fangliang said: "General Li doesn't know, King Chuang has already named Brother Tian as the general of power, and gave him King Chuang's saber, so that General Tian will supervise the officers and soldiers of the battalions......"
Li Yan looked at the treasure knife on Tian Jianxiu's waist, and couldn't help but look pale, stood up and saluted: "Congratulations to General Tian." ”
Tian Jianxiu also stood up and shook his hands continuously, "Everyone is working for King Chuang, there is nothing to congratulate, let's get down to business, can we send this batch of cannons to Henan? Our team has just conquered the entire territory of Henan, and is resting for a while." Only waiting for King Chuang's military order to besiege Beijing with the Western Route Army. ”
Li Yanfu sat down again, his eyebrows locked and said: "This matter is difficult......" and said Qian Qingjian from beginning to end about taking over the cannon.
Tian Jianxiu was moved when he heard this: "Is this Qian Qingjian so powerful? I once heard Brother Hu say that his Hu family's martial arts are not afraid of any kung fu today, but it is said that in the previous dynasty, there was a strange person who was separated from the air and captured the dragon and controlled the crane, and his magic was far better than his Hu family's peerless learning, could it be that this Qian Qingjian had the legendary kind of supernatural martial arts?"
No one could answer his words, and everyone was silent for a long time, Li Yan broke the deadlock and asked, "Where are the soldiers brought by General Tian now?"
Tian Jianxiu said: "I didn't want to clash with the defenders of Tianjin, so I arranged for them to sleep outside the city." ”
As soon as I said this, I heard someone in the hall of the inn ask the shopkeeper: "Is there a guest surnamed Yuan here?"
Li Yan looked at Yuan Chengzhi: "Didn't you leave the contact mark of the Huashan faction here in the room?"
Yuan Chengzhi nodded, "I'll go out and have a look." ”
After a while, Yuan Chengzhi brought back a man in his thirties from outside and introduced: "This is my senior brother's disciple, known as the 'eight-sided majestic' Feng Nandi. ”
When everyone heard this, they all stood up in awe and greeted him. This Feng Nandi is the most outstanding figure among the third generation of disciples of Huashan, and his reputation in the rivers and lakes has surpassed his master Huang Zhen, second only to his second uncle Shenquan invincible Gui Xin Shu, and everyone knows and knows it.
Feng Nandi exchanged a few words with everyone before saying: "This time I came to contact Uncle Yuan on the order of the ancestor, and the ancestor said that he came a little late in order to invite the Musang Daoist of the Iron Sword Gate, so Uncle Yuan followed Qian Qingjian, and the old man and my master and the second uncle will be able to rush to Tianjin Wei at dawn tomorrow." ”
Li Yan and Yuan Chengzhi were both overjoyed, Li Yan said: "Since this is the case, just wait for Senior Mu to come and preside over the overall situation, thinking that no matter how powerful Qian Qingjian is, he is only one person, as long as we can kill thousands of minions under him, he will not be able to sweep away ten cannons and fly to the capital!"
