Yang Yi actually didn't expect Qishan to help him. Just by Wusun and Qian Benzhong colluding to make money, they should think that they are from the same group. Yang Yi gave Qishan gifts just to numb Qishan and make him think that Yang Yi and Qian Benzhong thought of him. In fact, Yang Yi was wronged by Qishan. In fact, Qishan really planned to maintain a neutral attitude this time and would help Yang Yishan under certain circumstances. Qian Benzhong is indeed Qishan's person, but this kid has blacked a lot of money on Qishan's back. Yang Yi is now a celebrity in Xianfeng's eyes. Yang Yi has also given him heavy enough gifts, thirty pieces.

The rifle was installed in the back and thirty revolver short guns, which were what Qishan needed most at the moment. Besides, Qian Qishan also gained a lot of Qishan Suzhou. As long as Yang Yi separated Wusun and Qishan in this matter, Qishan would not make things difficult for Yang Yi. Especially on Qishan's birthday, Xiang Rong also sent someone to send gifts and letters to express his position on the matter of being worthy of money, which further strengthened Qishan's attitude of being worthy of money. Poor money, Qishan sent someone to comfort him on the surface, saying that everything was with him, but secretly was secretly sold by Qishan, who was cheating and sly.

Yang Yigan Qian Benzhong's memorial was sent after receiving a reply from Xiang Rong and Qishan. In this memorial, Yang Yigan Qianzhong's things were all done clearly. He also told Emperor Xianfeng that the situation in Jiangnan was in crisis. Now Lord Qishan and the thief were confronting the front line of Yangzhou. Suzhou was the rear and was in chaos. This money was a clever name to collect taxes privately, which violated the law of the court. If the official forces the people to rebel, Jiangnan will be completely finished. This matter is too big. Yang Yi must submit a memorial to the heaven and ask the emperor to make a decision.

Yang Yi wanted to destroy the money and mainly wanted to turn Suzhou into his own territory and the second Shanghai. After the Shanghai Xiaodaohui Uprising, Yang did not move at the beginning, and then acted after the county and Taoist yamen were occupied. He took advantage of the opportunity to suppress the rebellion and controlled some key departments. At present, Yang Yi had the final say in Shanghai.

In order to avoid visits with heavy money, Yang Yi simply ran back when he had something to do in Shanghai and used the time he had waited for the imperial edict of Xianfeng to do something.

With this generator and the motor were also made, all the equipment needs to be improved, and there are two things that Yang Yi is most concerned about, one is a machine gun and the other is a cannon. The original steel produced by arms was mainly imported from Prussia. Now, under the leadership of Hoffmann, the infrastructure construction in Ma'anshan is very fast, and it is estimated that its own products can be produced by the end of the year. Yang Yi also combined modern refining technology to write some materials to improve the quality of steel.

It is more troublesome to get the cannon. Yang Yi decided to get the machine gun out first. Which machine gun is good to make? Maxim heavy machine gun? This heavy guy invented by the British American H-S-Maxim in 1883 created a brilliant result of hurting 50,000 enemies a day in the Battle of the Somme in World War I. Its lethality is huge, with a rate of fire reaching 600 rounds per minute. The disadvantage is that it is too troublesome to carry the weight of more than 100 kilograms. However, it is more than enough to use this thing to deal with opponents at present or for a considerable period of time in the future. It is it.

He did it as he said, and he had to do it secretly. The production process of this thing cannot be known to the Prussian brothers now. Yang Yi had his own way. Today he drew a drawing of the barrel for the Prussian technicians to make it, and tomorrow he would get a part for them to make it. In short, he would break the machine gun parts and let them make it and assemble it by themselves. Fortunately, the production process of the bullets is relatively simple. After a period of study, a considerable number of Chinese workers mastered the technology of bullet production. Yang Yi secretly found a place and transferred some workers to secretly produce bullets used for Maxim machine guns.

Because he was afraid that the Prussians would find out, Yang Yi did not dare to do it too much. He only asked the Prussian technicians to make six machine gun parts, but he did not continue to do it. During the production process of the parts, Yang Yi told the Chinese apprentices to master the manufacturing process of these parts.

After getting the parts, Yang Yi found several carriages to get them to Suzhou, brought more than a dozen reliable soldiers, and hid and secretly assembled these machine guns. The machine guns were assembled very quickly, and Yang Yi mainly wanted to teach these soldiers to fiddle with these machine guns.

Time passed quickly, and after Yang Yi's machine gun was finished, the emperor's imperial edict came down. After reading Yang Yi's memorial, Xianfeng was indeed angry. Then there was a secret letter from Xiang Rong and Qi Shan, which was also worthy of money. Yang Yi suspected that he believed the memorials of Qi Shan and Xiang Rong, the two imperial envoys, and the three of them said the same, and Xianfeng had no reason to doubt it. So he quickly issued an imperial edict. The imperial edict was sent to Qi Shan, and Xianfeng ordered Qi Shan to fully handle the matter of money.

After receiving the imperial edict, Qishan went to Suzhou. The first thing he did was to take the money back to the prison. When he learned that Qishan was in Suzhou, Yang Yi quickly visited the door. After being polite to both sides, Qishan said

"The gifts given by the gentleman last time are too heavy. Thank you, I thank you." Yang Yi thought to himself: Yes, it is heavy enough, it is all iron guys, can it not be heavy? In fact, Yang Yi felt sorry for giving these gifts, but there was no way, so he couldn't bear to let the child get trapped. Fortunately, those rifles are not the latest style and have not lost enough.

"Sir, how should you deal with this matter?"

Yang Yi didn't understand what Qishan sold in this gourd. Although he couldn't make money immediately, he couldn't make it clear, so he had to vaguely say: "Well, you are the imperial envoy, you can do it. You have no objection."

Qi Shan also secretly cursed Yang Yihua. This matter was initiated by Yang Yi. Now, I won’t express my opinion anymore, so I have to say something gloomy:

"In my opinion, this kid staying is a scourge."

Since Qishan made a statement, Yang Yi was not too pretentious and came up with his own solution. After the two sides bargained, they reached an agreement. Qian Benzhong was killed immediately to avoid the night of dreams. The new Suzhou magistrate was introduced by Yang Yi, and Qi Shan recommended it to Xianfeng. After killing Qian Benzhong, Yang Yi came out to organize some charges of Qian Benzhong, with the premise that he had nothing to do with Qi Shan.

In this way, Qian Benzhong ate the food and food sent by Wusun when he got Qishan promised him to give him nothing, and died in prison overnight. Finally, he was charged with suicide for fear of guilt. As for the vacancy of the Suzhou prefect, Yang Yin had already thought about it, that is Wei Xiaosheng, the current prefect of Luzhou. The money was quite large, more than 1.3 million taels of silver were collected from Qian Benzhong's house. Of course, Yang Yi could not let Qi Shan and Xiang Rong work in vain, so the previous one was not reported, and it fell into Qi Shan and Xiang Rong's pocket. He only reported more than 300,000 taels.

Coincidentally, Wei Xiaosheng was not happy in Luzhou. After the conflict with the Li family, the Anhui officials in the court participated in Wei Xiaosheng one after another, suing him for making trouble for the local gentry in Luzhou and breaking into the official family, which was absent from the court officials and unanimously demanded that Wei Xiaosheng be strictly handled.

If only some officials participated in Wei Xiaosheng, Xianfeng might believe it, but all the officials from Anhui were involved. Xianfeng thought of the cliques and had thoughts, and he was a little skeptical. If he didn't deal with Wei Xiaosheng, these Anhui officials would not agree, and they would definitely continue to make trouble. If he dealt with him, he was afraid that he would make mistakes and the hearts of these grassroots officials would be cold. Moreover, Wei Xiaosheng's official voice is still good. Xianfeng is hesitating here. Qishan has finished dealing with the heavy money matter, and the report has also come up, and he recommended Wei Xiaosheng to become the prefect of Suzhou. Xianfeng is righteous.

It was a headache for Wei Xiaosheng and Anhui officials to have a conflict. It was just right to send Qi Shan a favor. Anyway, Wei Xiaosheng left Luzhou and had nothing to do with the gentry. Getting Wei Xiaosheng away was considered to give face to Anhui officials. Anhui officials would be ignorant if they make trouble. The prefect of Suzhou used to be a fat man, but now Suzhou is basically the front line, and a place to fight at any time. Putting Wei Xiaosheng in Suzhou is equivalent to sending him to the battlefield, so the Anhui officials stopped making trouble. In this way, Wei Xiaosheng's arrival in Suzhou was decided without much obstacles.

In the winter of 1853, Wei Xiaosheng and Yang Yi met again in Suzhou and became partners working together in the same city. In the same winter, Yang Yi secretly built another factory in Suzhou, specializing in the production of parts and bullets of Maxim machine guns. All the workers were Chinese technicians trained by Yang Yi. Soon Yang Yi's first machine gun company was established. In the twelfth month of 1853, Yangzhou fell, and Suzhou was also in panic as it approached. Various rumors continued. After Xianfeng learned that Yangzhou fell, he issued an imperial edict to accuse Qi Shan of incompetence and ordered Qi Shan to recover Yangzhou within a time limit. The deadline was ten days.
