Near the mountain wall north of Diaoyu Island, there is a huge rock with a radius of more than meter. The lower end is buried deep under the ground, protruding about six feet above the ground.

The upper half has been knocked off, and the section is polished flat and smooth by the disciples of Pili Temple, forming an irregular platform of about ten square meters. There are stone steps behind the platform for people to go up and down.

At this time, Chen Jinnan and Yang Yifei stood on this platform. Xu Tianchuan and five other senior Pili Hall leaders stood side by side behind them. More than 4,000 Pili Hall disciples lined up in the open space, all of their eyes focused on the stage.

More than a dozen people from the Shenlong Sect including Lu Gaoxuan were arranged in a wooden house at this time and did not participate in the gathering of the Tiandihui. After all, they are not from the Tiandihui.

Jiunan and the female family of the banker were gathered on the right, just like the female disciples of the Tiandihui Association, and they were very consciously lined up.

Chen Jinnan had a faint smile on his face, and glanced at the disciples from left to right, making everyone feel that the leader saw me, and then he spoke loudly: "Brothers and sisters, I believe everyone has understood why I brought you out of the original hall and gathered here."

"I don't need to say much about the significance of Pili Hall to the Heaven and Earth Society. Everyone should understand that the Heaven and Earth Society has developed to this day, and the congregation has reached nearly 200,000. In terms of manpower, it is the sum of the forces of the Three Feudals and other three feudal forces."

"But why are we still unable to formally raise the flag and rise up? Because we lack weapons and have not experienced good practice. To put it bluntly, we are just a group of mobs compared to the Tartar army."

"If we revolt rashly, the final result will inevitably be easily destroyed by the Tartars. But now, the turning point of the Heaven and Earth Society has appeared. Let me introduce to you, this hero who brings the turning point of the Heaven and Earth Society, our Heaven and Earth Society Pili Hall incense master, Yang Yifei."

Chen Jinnan leaned slightly, raised his right hand to face Yang Yifei, his tone increased several times, and said in a slightly excited voice: "He will lead you to create powerful weapons far beyond the Tartars for my world, and provide us with the best way to practice."

"I believe that with the addition of Yang Xiangzhu, my heaven and earth will be able to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and it is just around the corner."

When Chen Jinnan said the last four words, he clasped his hand into a fist and suddenly raised it to the sky.

The disciples of Pili Temple, who were surging with his words, were instantly boiling. While raising their fists, they shouted loudly: "Master Yang Xiang...Master Yang Xiang...Master Yang Xiang..."

Yang Yifei secretly admired her. Sure enough, no matter how talented you are, your personality charm and speaking ability are absolutely first-class. If you don’t have the ability to raise your arms and listen to the crowd, why should you be a leader?

Originally, he was just a newcomer who had just joined the Tiandihui and had no qualifications or contributions. The senior management understood his role in the Tiandihui, but the grassroots congregation may not understand everything, nor may they buy it all.

But as soon as he said this, he immediately became an important and indispensable figure in the world. He did not need to go through the "muscle-opening" procedure and gained the support and respect of all his disciples.

Seeing that the effect was achieved, Chen Jinnan smiled and said to Yang Yifei: "Brother Yang, let me say a few words!"

Yang Yifei nodded and wanted to give a speech. He was naturally not afraid of being a military man from later generations. He immediately took a step forward, raised his hands down his palms, and the disciples of Pili Temple who were chanting his name enthusiastically immediately calmed down.

Yang Yifei said loudly: "Brothers and sisters, from today, Yang will live and work with you, and work together for the great cause of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty. I am very grateful to the head of the chief and the incense masters for their trust, which gives Yang the opportunity to work with you."

"When Yang was still exploring the world and looking for a feasible method to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, he heard countless heroic deeds about the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society, and even heard the saying "If you don't know Chen Jinnan in your life, you will be in vain to call a hero."

"At that time, Yang had already realized in his heart that perhaps only by joining the Heaven and Earth Association would be the most correct way to fight against Qing and restore Ming."

"When I was robbing the law field in the capital, I had to meet the headmaster and all the cousins ​​of Aoki. Yang was ecstatic..."

Yang Yifei has seen and heard of such inauguration statements in later generations, and even wrote them himself. He can be said to be open-mouthed.

But its effect is surprisingly good in this era. As Yang Yifei's speech proceeded, the disciples of Pili Temple became more and more recognized by him and nodded.

Chen Jinnan was also surprised and happy. He didn't realize that Brother Yang was so eloquent. It seemed that his worries were unnecessary. With his own talents, he could firmly sit in the position of the Master of the Pili Hall.

"Here, Yang expressed his opinion to everyone, which is also a determination. Since Yang became the Master of Pili Hall, he must be united with you, be united in one's heart and virtue, do his best to do his best for the great cause, and devote himself to it until his death. I hope all the brothers and sisters will support him more. Yang thanked me."

After Yang Yifei finished his speech, he held his fists and raised it above his head and bowed deeply.

"Master Yang Xiang...Master Yang Xiang...Master Yang Xiang..." The disciples' shouts together this time were filled with a hint of fanaticism.

...

After the rally, the disciples dispersed, and Chen Jinnan summoned all the leaders of the Pili Hall for a meeting, and let Yang Yifei meet with the leaders and get to know each other.

At the meeting, Yang Yifei appointed Wu Liuqi, who was not present, as the owner of the Red Flag Incense. The so-called owner of the Red Flag Incense is the owner of honor. His status is on par with Yang Yifei, but he has no real power.

The hardcore little brother Mao Shiba was appointed as the "Second Road Marshal" and also had no real power, equivalent to Yang Yifei's assistant. However, as a person around Xiangzhu, even if he did not have real power, his status was not low, and everyone else had to sell his face.

Feng Jizhong was appointed as "White Fan". Bai Fan is a role similar to a military advisor and is mainly responsible for civilian work. Although this person is taciturn on weekdays, he will inevitably speak in a good way once he speaks. Among the few people, his intelligence calculation is a higher candidate, and others have no objection to this.

Xu Tianchuan, who is the most skilled in martial arts among the five, was appointed as the "Red Stick" and is responsible for martial arts affairs, which is equivalent to the leader of a thug.

Li Lishi and Gao Yanchao were appointed as "straw sandals", mainly responsible for contact and information transmission, which is equivalent to intelligence leaders.

The five of them are second only to the head of the throne and the incense master. They belong to the leadership of the hall. Like Yang Yifei, they burn five incense sticks.

After getting to know each other with the leaders and finishing their appointment, Yang Yifei learned about the basic situation on the island with the leaders, and then, accompanied by his subordinates, he learned about the building facilities on the island.

The living area is mainly caves and houses on the mountain. The residences of grassroots disciples are all large and bus beds, and there are twenty people in one room. The infrastructure work is still continuing. As time goes by, living conditions will gradually improve.

Various workshops and warehouses are concentrated in flat areas on the north side, and the raw materials of gunpowder are stored separately strictly according to Yang Yifei's requirements and will never be concentrated together. After making gunpowder, they must also be stored as such.

Making black gunpowder is a very dangerous thing. In case of an accident, if it is put together, it will be taken away in one pot, so the warehouses where gunpowder are stored are far apart.

Fortunately, this era is not like later generations, with so many smokers, so smokers will not be selected into the Pili Hall, which will avoid gunpowder explosions caused by tobacco.

Before the start of construction, Yang Yifei will provide a training for his disciples, mainly to let them understand the matters and taboos that must be paid attention to when storing and transporting gunpowder.

Only after training can he start gunpowder production with confidence. As for the blacksmith shop, they are located in the east near the beach, away from the gunpowder storage point.

The blacksmith shop uses charcoal fire to smel metals such as copper and iron. The burning substance is coal, which is much stronger than the firewood in the past. This is also one of the reasons why the steel strength in this era is higher than that in the Tang and Song dynasties.

When they were selected to be trained as a man who made gunpowder, the blacksmiths had already begun casting muskets and cannons.

Yang Yifei gave them the best alloy formula that they could cast in this era. The barrel barrel casting with this alloy is more cost-effective than the bronze barrel and iron barrel.

Without the bulkiness of a bronze gun barrel, the hardness and toughness are not below the iron gun barrel, and there will never be any danger of explosion.

As long as the blacksmiths cast and polish strictly according to their size, the guns and cannons made will definitely crush all countries of this era.
