My Apprenticeship to Uncle Jiu: I Was a Warlord in the Republic of China

Seeing that everyone was moving away from him, the evil spirit realized that he might have been exposed, so he looked at everyone viciously.

"Why don't you help me? I'm a weak pregnant woman!"

"How many years have you been a delinquent? You don't even remember the simple common sense that injuries will bleed?"

The evil spirit was stunned when he heard this, and he looked down at his abdomen which was pierced by the bronze sword and his calf which had a large cut. Then he rushed towards the crowd in anger, hoping to escape in the chaos.

But Jiang Li had already sent several Taoist soldiers into the crowd, and when the evil spirit rushed towards the crowd, it looked back to see if Jiang Li was chasing it, and did not pay attention to the front at all, so it was kicked back into the field by a Taoist soldier.

When Jiang Li saw the man being kicked back, he immediately used his magic power to knock him down with a punch. With his other hand, he grabbed the hilt of the sword and pulled it out. Then he rushed forward and cut off the evil spirit's neck with one sword.

Without the protection of the physical body, the evil spirit wailed incessantly as it was burned by the sun. In order to prevent the situation from changing, Jiang Li did not give it any chance and directly killed it with a single sword.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, he told the people the whole story, including the tomb robbery by Marshal Xu. After he had told everything, he did not care about the people's reaction and directly gathered people to clean up the Xu Mansion.

People cleaned up the place and used it to store supplies and military rations. Anyway, the Xu Mansion was big enough to store the 500,000 kilograms of grain seized this time.

After the cleanup was completed, he led everyone out again. Because they brought too many people and supplies, it took them two days to reach Tengteng County.

After asking people to settle the people and livestock he brought back, he personally transported the property to the warehouse. Then he began to count the military achievements and casualties, and prepare to distribute pensions and rewards.

After two days of hard work, I finally finished dealing with all these things. During this period, I naturally gave orders to purchase medicines and medical equipment, as well as pocket watches and telescopes.

After dealing with the reward issue, he began to form a medical team. For this purpose, he specially asked someone to invite a doctor who was proficient in trauma from the provincial capital to teach the medical team basic medical knowledge.

After that, he finally got the bullet production line he had been dreaming of, but he did not immediately transport these simple equipment to Wuzhu Mountain.

Because these things require a lot of skilled workers and a lot of raw materials, but on Wuzhu Mountain, neither houses, water tanks, nor warehouses for storing raw materials have been built.

Moreover, Jiang Li also had to leave a troop at Wuzhu Mountain just in case. This also required waiting for the wounded to recover and for the soldiers who had experienced several days of marching and fighting to relax, so as to avoid accumulating resentment.

When he thought of the various materials the arsenal would need, he got a headache. The demand for these things would be huge, and it would be difficult to buy enough relying solely on his unprofessional purchasing staff.

So he only stayed at home for one night, and then left home again and went to Renjia Town to ask Ren Fa for help. Ren Fa was very happy to see Jiang Li. After all, her daughter was pregnant, so he felt more confident when talking to Jiang Li.

But then he asked doubtfully, "Ali, why don't you stay at home and accompany Tingting more? She is pregnant now and that's when she needs your company."

"My father-in-law is right. I do have some difficulties, so I have no choice but to ask you for help!" He then stated his needs.

When Ren Fa heard what was going on, he immediately agreed, "Leave it to me. I dare not say anything else. If it's just purchasing some things, it won't be a problem for me, Ren Fa!"

"Thank you, father-in-law. I came in a hurry this time. I will have someone send the debt to your house tomorrow."

"Okay, okay, this batch of supplies looks like a lot, but actually it doesn't cost much money. I, as your father-in-law, will pay for it for you. You just go back and spend time with Tingting and make her happy every day!" Ren Fa said proudly.

"Well, father-in-law, you don't know that I'm going to build an arsenal, which requires a lot of materials. I'll also need to have long-term cooperation with those suppliers in the future, so you don't have to pay for this."

"Besides, Tingting is my wife, so I will naturally accompany her. It just so happens that during this period of time, I have almost done all the things that need to be done. I plan to have a good rest for a while after I finish the work at the arsenal." Jiang Li said with a smile.

"Why are you still busy with the arsenal? Just let your subordinates do it. Your most urgent task now is to accompany Tingting and let her give birth to the baby in peace!"

"Now that your territory has expanded and you have more subordinates, if you don't have offspring, it will have a great impact on your great cause!" Ren Fa frowned.

Jiang Li was stunned and thought to himself that it was true. What he was doing was not fighting in the business world, but fighting for territory. If he made any mistake, the Jiang family would be divided up immediately.

Especially the last time when I was counterattacked by Marshal Xu, if I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have been in real danger. So I must never lead the troops to charge in the future, and even if I do, I can't be at the front.

Thinking of this, he bowed and saluted deeply to Ren Fa, and said solemnly, "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice. I will definitely keep it in mind in the future!"

Ren Fa was stunned when he saw this. He didn't understand why Jiang Li reacted so strongly. He was just saying some common sense.

But seeing that Jiang Li listened, he didn't dwell on why he listened, and just said to him, "In that case, you should go back earlier, so that Tingting won't worry. As for the purchase of supplies, I will go and talk to those friends."

Jiang Li said goodbye and left after hearing this, but he did not go back to the Jiang family directly. Instead, he went to Qingyun Temple first and told his uncle Jiu about Ren Tingting's pregnancy and Huang Silang's becoming a god.

And because Ren Tingting is pregnant, I may have to stay with her for a long time.

Uncle Jiu had heard about this before, so he naturally didn't say anything. He took out a box of Essence Pills from his room and handed it to Jiang Li. "These are the Essence Pills that were refined during this period. You should use them to practice well. Don't delay your practice."

Seeing what Jiang Li was about to say, he immediately interrupted, "I've left a copy, these are all yours."

After Jiang Li took it, he bowed deeply to Uncle Jiu, stood up and said goodbye to Uncle Jiu, then said hello to several uncles and fellow apprentices, and went down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, he joined up with a few Taoist soldiers and rode back to the Jiang family.

Back in the study, he took stock of the thirteen towns under his control (Tengteng County, Lijia Town, Sunjia Town, Qianjia Town, Jiuquan Town, Huangqi Town, Sanhe Town, Longquan Town, Lanxi Town, Anling Town, Canglan Town, Jinhua Town, Youlin Town.)

With more than 150 villages, a total of 79,000 people and 2,100 troops, it is considered a considerable force.

As long as he waits for a few months, builds his arsenal, and expands his army, he can't say that he can dominate the world, but as long as he doesn't commit suicide, he should be able to protect himself in this chaotic world.
