Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 307 Set up Longyan Town

"Hmm! This Longyan Town is pretty good!" Xue Yongli said while waving the horsewhip in his hand lightly.

Regarding how to deal with the new private iron mine, those big bosses who stayed behind in the Runing camp had differences.The military officer headed by Xue Yongli strongly advocated: since the private iron mine has already been obtained, there is no reason to go there again.

This is also related to Xue Yongli's experience.After all, Xue Yongli was a slave in Yangwuhou Mansion for several generations.For the slaves of the Hou Mansion, unless they meet someone they can't afford to mess with, otherwise, as long as they like something, mine is mine, and yours is mine, and they don't give up what they snatch reason.

But the literati staff headed by Deng Qifan felt that this matter should be prudent.Because this time it was the government-run Nanyang Iron Mine that was robbed.And the one who robbed was the mine supervisor sent by the inner court.Although this private mining area would be beneficial to the income growth of the Runing Camp, but compared to the future of the garrison master Wu Shigong, it was worthless.

Because only Deng Qifan knew the inside story, knowing that Wu Shigong's expedition this time was because he offended the chief assistant Zhou Yanru, so no matter whether he wins or loses, he may lose his official position of guarding the Runing Mansion.And in order not to shake the morale of the army, only Deng Qifan knew this secret, and even Xue Yongli didn't tell him.

When Wu Shigong and Deng Qifan were discussing countermeasures, there was a plan to use the relationship between Wu Shigong and Qin Gonggong to open up the inner court and let the chief assistant Zhou Yanru sell his face and take back his life.But now he wants to take the initiative to offend the inner court. Doesn't this break Wu Shigong's way?

But Deng Qifan could not tell Xue Yongli this inside story, so the opinions between the two could not be unified.

Deng Qifan was still flexible, and he proposed to Xue Yongli: "Since we have already occupied it, let's occupy it first. Anyway, we will just use the word 'drag' and send more manpower to dig more iron ore."

"Also tell Commander He that he will pretend to be crazy and ask three questions. Let him push the matter to the county magistrate of Ye County. Anyway, he is messing around, and it will take a day."

"It's best to delay until the adults return. No matter how you say it, it's better for the adults to save face. If you really can't delay, you have to get enough benefits before leaving, and you can't return empty-handed!"

In fact, Deng Qifan's mind turned quickly.He just wanted to use the return of the iron ore as a ploy to ask the inner court to help the Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru stop touching Wu Shigong.

And Xue Yongli heard that Deng Qifan promised to temporarily occupy the iron mine, and he was unwilling to confront Deng Qifan, so he agreed.But in Xue Yongli's heart, like He Fei and the others, he wanted to create a fait accompli.It is necessary to occupy this iron mine forever.

Therefore, when Deng Qifan returned to Runing Mansion, Xue Yongli did not accompany him. He wanted to stay here for a few more days in the name of inspecting Nanyang Camp.In these days, He Fei, the officers of the Nanyang Battalion, accompanied Xue Yongli to observe the terrain.

Today I happened to check near Longan Town.Here there is one about ten miles long.A small cashew-shaped plain about three or four miles wide.On the two ends of the small plain, one is Longyan Town, and the other is Congling Mountain Pass in the distance.But Congling Mountain Pass is already outside the scope of Ye County, so the Nanyang Camp cannot be stationed there.

And as long as Longan Town is under control, it will be able to block the way to enter the new iron mine.Although this road is not the main road leading to Ye County, Longyan Town is not particularly prosperous.But for Nanyang Ying, their main responsibility is to keep and control those iron mines, and the safety of Ye County is already a secondary task of Nanyang Ying.

And Wu Shigong's original iron mine.It is also because Luojia Town and Yexian County are the horns of each other.If you don't lose that line of defense, you can basically stop the enemy from attacking.

therefore.Xue Yongli said: "He Fei, build a new village here that can hold thousands of soldiers. Your Nanyang camp also sent 500 people to guard here, so that everything will be safe."

"Master Li, where did the money for building the village come from?" He Fei asked.Because the wound on He Fei's face hadn't completely healed, his words were a little slurred.

"I'll find a way for you to squeeze out some of the other military expenses for you. But you also have to let Qiu Yuanwai and the others bleed. Anyway, they also have a share of this new iron mine. Also, your Luo family The town camp will be built here first. Then you will be given the money to build the Luojia town camp, and you will use it here. With this stockade, the Luojia town camp is not very important anymore."

"Master Li, besides Yuan Qiu, they also promised to give us a hundred horses in the Nanyang camp. Look..." Chu Ge interjected.

Xue Yongli understood what Chu Ge meant as soon as he heard it.He replied readily: "I'll give you a hundred stable boys. But be careful, don't practice to death, wait until their bodies grow up."

"Master Xie Li!" Chu Ge immediately smiled.

"Master Na Li, you have to allocate a few cannons for guarding the village." He Fei climbed up along the way.

"No problem! The four three-pound cannons that have just been built this time are assigned to you. But you have to be quick, if someone snatches it, then I don't care! But you don't have to be afraid, let the little one Chu's daughter-in-law acted like a baby in front of Yang Goudan." Xue Yongli was in a good mood, and even joked while speaking.

"Thank you, Master Li!" He Fei smiled joyfully with a pig's head on his head, "It's still Master Li's cat (eyes) like a torch, who discovered Longan Town!"

Regarding He Fei's flattery, Xue Yongli was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood that what He Fei said was the idiom "sight like a torch", so Xue Yongli laughed and scolded: "You He Fei, it's okay if you don't study, but you can read books." Why are you going back more and more! You can’t even speak!”

The surrounding officers and guards laughed.

When the laughter slowed down, Shumo at the side asked, "Master Li, it's already getting late, and members of Qiu and the others are already ready to show filial piety to Lord Li. See?"

At that time, Xue Yongli's shots were also measured.Shumo turned out to be Wu Shigong's personal bookboy, and Chuge had a Yang dog who was his father-in-law, so Xue Yongli was merciful to them both.Only He Fei, the orthodox leader of the Nanyang camp, was the most seriously injured.

"Alright, let's go play together." Xue Yongli was in a happy mood after finishing the business, so he agreed to Qiu Yuanwai's invitation.When they learned that they could attend the banquet, the officers and guards cheered happily.

At this time, Shumo rolled his eyes at He Fei, who was also grinning silly, and then sarcastically said: "The person with a cat face and two cat lights in his cat eyes needn't go!" Shumo, who had a meal, still remembers He Fei's hatred!

Hahaha--! (To be continued..)
