The heavens start from Quanzhen swordsmanship

Chapter 121 "Ambition" first revealed?No, it's a dream.

In October, the nights are cold and cold.

A team dressed in light armor and carrying big swords took advantage of the thick night to sneak into the Yangling village.

The leader of the team was tall and burly, and the nine-ring sword in his hand was shining with a cold light.

He looked at the cottage in front of him with both eyes, with a sinister smile on his face: "Kill, don't leave a single one behind!"

Following Shi Zhilei's order, the brothers behind him, like tigers and leopards hunting their prey, rushed into the village in an instant.

When these people entered the cottage, they were followed by screams.

Half an hour later, Shi Zhilei returned to his original spot, but the color of his clothes was darker than before.

In his hand, he was still holding a head with angry eyes wide open and unwilling to close his eyes.

Following his return, the rest of the people came back one after another.

Compared to before, the color of the clothes on them was the same as Shi Zhilei's, but also a little darker.

Shi Zhilei glanced at the ten captains in front of him, and said in a low voice, "Are there any missing?"

After seeing that all ten captains answered no, he showed a satisfied look on his face.

"If you don't have enough people to kill these miscellaneous fish, you will have to practice to death when you go back!"

After he finished speaking, he raised his head in his hand.

"The target has been killed, we can go back and return!"

After Shi Zhilei finished speaking, he brought his opponent into the night again.

It comes and goes without a sound, like a wandering spirit, but after leaving, it leaves the Yangling village with broken limbs and ruins.

At this time, not only the Yangling cottage, but also several other cottages three hundred miles away from here, the same scene was unfolding.

A ghost-like team entered the stronghold, killed all the robbers in the stronghold, and then went down the mountain again.

……

Chongyang Palace, under Daowu Mountain, Daowu Camp.

The training of the soldiers is in full swing, compared to the Dao Wu camp with a single spearman four months ago.

The current Daowu camp has added a new type of arms, archers.

When holding a weapon, one inch is long and one inch is strong, and the same principle applies to bows and arrows.

Hold a bow and arrow for long-range strikes, and shoot you to death before you run over.

In addition, archers can be used to restrain cavalry.

There are not many archers trained, only two hundred.

Without it, poor.

With the background of the Quanzhen sect, it is still possible to build a thousand soldiers to support it, but it is difficult to provide follow-up archers.

Training archers consumes too much, and the consumption of arrows alone is a lot of support.

Especially in military training, it is still only going out but not going in.

When Xu Zhiqing went to the head teacher to discuss the matter, the head teacher secretly told him that he could not expand the army by [-] spearmen and [-] archers, which is the maximum that the sect can support now.

If there are more, the sect will not be able to maintain its operation without the enemy's attack.

In addition, the disciples of the sect who could be selected to enter the Daowu Pavilion were all thrown into the Daowu Pavilion, and the remaining disciples were really not suitable for entering the Daowu Pavilion.

Xu Zhiqing briefly summed up what the head teacher said, there is no money for money, and no one for people.

We can only maintain the status quo. If we want to expand our troops, we need to make money, and then find a way to get people from other places.

Xu Zhiqing used to be only an honorary chief disciple, and all the mundane matters were handled by his master and uncles.

Now let him master dao martial arts initially, and he gritted his teeth and gave him the money in the sect to lay the foundation for him.

Inexplicably, Xu Zhiqing thought of how parents in another world really emptied their families when they treated their children, especially when the children got married.

Some successful children can also feed back their parents.

Some people who are lost in the crowd can only lie flat, helpless to be rubbed by life.

How similar he is to establishing Dao Wu now!

The sect fully supports him, if he fails to achieve some results, he will not only be ashamed of the sect.

He might not even be able to face himself squarely.

But the most urgent thing is to find a way to make money.

What's the fastest way to make money?
Monopoly!
Xu Zhiqing sat in the camp tent and thought about it carefully. Only by doing monopoly business can he make a fortune.

He picked up a pen and silently wrote down the words basic necessities of life.

First row is row, then second is live.

He left behind food and clothing.

Xu Zhiqing thought about it, and the soldiers came to bring him food.

He looked at the dishes on the table, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he had an idea.

Cook?

No, it's table salt.

He used to concentrate on practicing martial arts and didn't worry about these things. He never thought about these things at all.

He doesn't know much, he can't make soap or something, but he doesn't know everything.

He can turn coarse salt into fine salt, and he can also turn brown sugar into white sugar.

Xu Zhiqing thought of gunpowder again, and now Mongolia and the Southern Song Dynasty already have gunpowder.

It's just very little in power.

He can't make it, but he can improve it. He remembers the method, which seems to be to make the gunpowder material into granules?
What kind of thing will explode if it is granular?
Xu Zhiqing thought about it for a while, this can be told to the uncle to let them find someone to develop it, and pay more attention to safety.

He thought of refining coarse salt into fine salt, and turning brown sugar into white sugar, so he couldn't sit still.

Xu Zhiqing got up, took the meal to the back kitchen of the cafeteria.

Seeing Xu Zhiqing's menacing appearance, the chef in the back kitchen felt his heart skip a beat, just when he was afraid that he hadn't cooked the food well.

He saw the pavilion master put down the food and went straight to the table salt.

Xu Zhiqing felt at ease when he saw the salt, and it really was coarse salt.

He reached out and took out a large piece.

"I used this!"

The main step in refining fine salt from coarse salt is to filter out impurities, which will become snow-white salt.

Sure enough, it is useful to learn knowledge, but it seems to be useless to learn, and it will bring unexpected surprises to people at some point.

After Xu Zhiqing got the coarse salt, he went to prepare the rest of the tools, the most important thing is the filter tool.

He understands this, fine sand, activated carbon, gravel.

Find a bottle and put these in order, seal the bottle mouth, and it becomes a simple filter.

Break the coarse salt into the water and dissolve it, and pour the melted liquid into the filter.

The filtered brine is heated and evaporated to obtain fine salt.

This is so far away, but Xu Zhiqing needs to get out the activated carbon first.

If you want table salt to become white, you cannot do without activated carbon that absorbs pigments, mainly brown sugar and white sugar also need activated carbon.

Hao Datong and Lu Zhijia were not surprised that Xu Zhiqing stopped working in the barracks to take care of these things.

Because not long ago, they saw the pavilion master going to do something fun.

For example, the telescope mentioned by the pavilion owner, two polished wafers, can be combined to see far away.

Their first reaction was to use it to observe the enemy's situation.

Use this to observe the enemy's situation, and you can find the enemy first.

Therefore, they only have expectations for what the pavilion master will do.

Xu Zhiqing asked someone to burn charcoal. After the charcoal was fired, he processed it into activated carbon later.

The last step cost him a little effort, but fortunately it was finally done.

When he made the activated carbon, the filter was made the same day.

He crushed the coarse salt and put it in the water, and after straining it, he put it in the iron pot to heat it.

When the water disappears, what remains are white salt grains.

Xu Zhiqing looked at these grains of salt, a smile appeared on his face, what is the most profitable, monopoly.

These grains of salt, which are as white as snow, are all white silver!

He put away these grains of salt, and then took them directly to the head teacher.

He couldn't complete the project of making salt by himself, and his energy was limited, so it was impossible for him to be distracted from doing business.

Xu Zhiqing went straight into the main hall all the way. He knew that if Master Qiu didn't practice in retreat on weekdays, he would process documents in the main hall.

As soon as he came in, he saw his uncle sitting on the desk dealing with sect affairs.

His footsteps startled Qiu Chuji.

Xu Zhiqing noticed that Master Qiu was helpless the first time he saw him.

"Zhiqing, your soldiers have trained very well, and the nearby villages and the villages a little further away have been cleared by the Daowu Army."

"The result of the battle is outstanding, I am very satisfied with my master! But I really have no money!"

When Xu Zhiqing heard his uncle's words, he was overjoyed.

"Master, I didn't ask you for money today!"

As he spoke, under the suspicious gaze of his uncle, he poured the salt grains from the porcelain bottle onto the copybook.

Qiu Chuji looked at the white grains of salt, and a question mark appeared in his mind.

"What is this? Why is it the same as snow?"

"Uncle, this is not comparable to snow, this is silver!"

"silver?"

Xu Zhiqing didn't play charades anymore, but asked his uncle to try it a little bit.

"Is this thing edible?"

Qiu Chuji was skeptical, so he took a sip.

When he took a sip, his eyes widened instantly.

"Is this salt?"

Xu Zhiqing nodded.

"Master, neither the Southern Song Dynasty nor Mongolia should have this kind of top-quality salt?"

"no!"

Qiu Chuji has been to the north and south, the Southern Song Dynasty, and Mongolia. He has a little understanding of the conditions of the two countries.

Absolutely none of the salt that his disciple brought.

"Uncle, aren't you short of money?"

Xu Zhiqing pointed to Yan: "Sell this writing in large quantities, do you think we will still be short of money?"

Qiu Chuji's eyes lit up when he heard Xu Zhiqing's words.

"Don't you have a lot of salt?"

"Uncle, I don't have a lot of salt, but we can make it. I made these with coarse salt!"

Xu Zhiqing briefly explained the principle to his uncle.

After listening to Qiu Chuji, he pondered for a moment and smiled wryly, "Forget it, I don't understand what you're saying, why don't you let me see how you made it!"

"also!"

Xu Zhiqing took Uncle Qiu back to his small laboratory, and then performed a show for the uncle, coarse salt became fine salt.

After Qiu Chuji watched Xu Zhiqing's operation, his breathing was a little short.

"You are Daoist!"

"This is science... it can also be called Taoism!"

Qiu Chuji asked how much coarse salt could be extracted and how much fine salt could be extracted, and found that the loss was not too great.

He silently calculated in his heart.

Soon, he burst out two words.

"Exorbitant profits! Even greater profits than those robbers!"

Xu Zhiqing shook his head helplessly after listening to his uncle's words.

"Those robbers also do hard work, how can they compare with us?"

"Master Qiu, I will entrust you with the method of making fine salt. This method is the most important cornerstone of our Quanzhen sect! When you choose candidates, you must be careful and cautious. Anyone who is inclined to Mongolia or the Southern Song Dynasty None of the country's disciples can use it!"

His words stunned Qiu Chuji: "Aren't you going to do it yourself?"

Xu Zhiqing said seriously: "Master, I have been busy with the military affairs all day long. Now that the military army has just formed, it is still too early to become an iron-blooded army!"

"I can't be distracted. With you and a few uncles taking care of the rear affairs for me, don't I feel relieved?"

His words made Qiu Chuji nod repeatedly.

"You are right, Zhiqing, we are really lucky to have you! I believe that our disciples of the Daowu Army will definitely become an iron-blooded army!"

After Qiu Chuji finished speaking, he promised: "Don't worry about this, I will be cautious in employing people. Although your uncles and I are a little old, we should be able to help you deal with things for a few years! In the past few years, you No worries!"

The current foundation of the Quanzhen School is not only because of relying on this martial arts every day, but more because of having its own business channels.

Not only the Quanzhen sect, but any sect can establish a foundation because it has a commercial channel.

If a sect does not earn a lot of money, there is a high probability that the sect is not far away from being wiped out.

The foundation of the Quanzhen sect is martial arts. With martial arts, they can keep their business and use the money they earn from business to support their own practice.

Only with such a good cycle can a sect grow stronger.

The same is true for the army wanting to grow.

An army that lacks silver can't even provide daily training supplies, so how can it fight others?
Xu Zhiqing had Master Qiu's words, so he added another one.

"Uncle, our Quanzhen sect still needs to recruit disciples, and the best way to recruit disciples is the kind of people who take care of their families!"

Qiu Chuji knew what Xu Zhiqing meant, and he nodded slightly: "Don't worry! I'm very quick to refine the first batch of fine salt, and I'll help you buy the rest of the supplies after a little spreading!"

Xu Zhiqing hummed lightly, he was still more at ease with Uncle Qiu.

I don't know if Master Qiu became the head teacher because he used to have a bad temper and would raise his sword without a word, but now he can talk to people calmly.

"By the way, Zhiqing, the first batch of our Daowu Army went out for one month and wiped out more than 30 bandit villages. Among those bandit villages were people who colluded with some officials. Our Daowu Army is now named in some government offices. !"

"Because you let them adopt the strategy of hiding by day and coming out at night, they are called the 'Ghost Army' by those officials!"

"However, because the Daowu army killed all the bandits in the village, it gave the title of 'Heroic Soul Army' among the people!"

When Qiu Chuji said this, his tone was full of pride.

The former Quanzhen sect was able to do this and gained a good reputation.

But it is far inferior to Dao Wujun's actions.

After he finished speaking, he asked Xu Zhiqing softly, "How long do you think they will have to practice? Also, what do you think we should do next?"

Xu Zhiqing was also a little worried when he heard Master Qiu's question.

Zhongnan Mountain is located in Mongolia, with Jingzhao Mansion to the north and Song Dynasty to the south.

If you want to cause trouble, it is best to create a piece of land as quickly as possible.

The current Quanzhen faction plays their cards in secret. Once the cards are revealed and played, it is a clear card.

It will definitely be targeted by Mongolia in the future.

As for the targeting of the Southern Song Dynasty?
Let's talk about resisting the Mongolian attack first.

Qiu Chuji seemed to see Xu Zhiqing's embarrassment, and he said softly, "If you are unsure about paying attention, you can write to Jinger and ask Jinger, he has been fighting for many years, so he should have some experience!"

Xu Zhiqing nodded. Guo Jing's knowledge of the Southern Song Dynasty and Mongolia was far superior to his.

"By the way, Xiangyang City is besieged again!"

"This time, the vanguard leading the team is Kublai Khan. There is also news that Brother Meng is going to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty himself, and the Southern Song Dynasty is bound to perish!"

Xu Zhiqing narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

The timing he wanted was very simple, during the confrontation between Mongolia and Xiangyang City.

At that time, the Mongolian Kingdom was completely destroyed and the Southern Song Dynasty was fought, so there was not much energy to distract him.

What he wants is to seize this opportunity and quickly draw in the planned territory.

Then awe with a master!
Xu Zhiqing encloses the territory first, and if Mongolia sends troops to fight, he will go there first and kill the generals.

If it doesn't work, go to Mongolia and kill some more.

He didn't want to go far away from Mongolia if it wasn't necessary.

He used force to deter and defend himself first, and vigorously developed the military and civil economy!
It grows step by step in this way, and then it will sweep other countries with its super strong military.

These thoughts, he just stayed in the pre-planning stage.

The soldiers and horses have not yet been completed, and the manpower is not enough.

When the soldiers and horses are ready, when the time comes, it's time for him to send his troops out of the world.

If he rises up and orders other countries to be established, how will the people in the Southern Song Dynasty martial arts think of him?
Xu Zhiqing felt that there was no need to care about these, as long as Wu never came to trouble him, he should be fine.

When his martial arts is advanced again, even if he is a five-jue, he will not be afraid.

"Master Qiu, besides salt, I also have some suggestions on gunpowder. I hope you can ask someone to study it!"

If the power of gunpowder can be increased, he will change the archers to rockets.

Let them attach gunpowder to the arrows and shoot them out.

This way of killing cavalry far exceeds that of ordinary archers.

Even if it is used to attack the city, it has the same effect.

The most normal place in this world is that ordinary people still conform to ordinary people. No matter the development in all aspects, it is a normal development phenomenon.

The only difference is that there are people who practice martial arts in this world.

Xu Zhiqing felt that these martial arts practitioners did not promote the development of this world.

Usually practicing martial arts is self-defense, or walking in the rivers and lakes to be a chivalrous hero.

It never solves the problem fundamentally, but relies on its own force and uses moral standards to judge whether a person is righteous or evil.

It's like a bad guy who kills someone with martial arts, and a righteous person with even stronger martial arts kills the bad guy.

Once a villain's martial arts reaches its peak, killing people is only a matter of his liking, and no one else can judge him at all.

Even the country does not want to provoke easily.

Xu Zhiqing judged this development as an unhealthy development.

If he becomes a country, he will definitely count the warriors in the world and divide them by region.

Classify warriors, and popularize population registration, etc.!

Since Xu Zhiqing first formed the Daowu Army, he found that his thinking was also changing a little bit.

In the past, his thinking was relatively simple and not complicated at all, but now he thinks a lot about the next step every time he takes it.

For example, if he were the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, what would he do?

Probably will kill the special kill, use good ministers and generals, reform methods, etc.!

Of course, there is a premise for this, he must have a strong military in his hands, otherwise the fourth reformer, even if he is the emperor.

He has a tyrannical army, superb martial arts, anyone who dares to stop the reform, the only way he can do is to drag him out and beat him to death!
Therefore, it is better not to participate in this power 'game' without due skill.

Xu Zhiqing felt that his thoughts changed again, but his heart remained unchanged at first.

His original intention was to become stronger, to make martial arts stronger, so that no one dared to say to him: "Come, kill me!"

Now in his heart, he wants the army to become more tyrannical, so that he has enough confidence to say: "Go, crush him to death!"

With strong martial arts, he should be the best in the world.

If the army is strong, it should sweep the heaven and earth, make the universe bright and clear, and make the world one!

A great chivalrous man should serve the country and the people in peacetime, but in times of war, if he has the ability, he should defend the country and the people.
