Near noon, Li Yuanqing lazily got up from the big bed and called Lotus Root, Xiaolian and Xiaohe, who were guarding the door, to come in.
Xiaolian and Xiaohe are already sensible, their little faces are blushing, Lotus is in the mood for love, and they already have a faint understanding of this aspect of things, and their pretty faces are even more red and scary.
Normally, serving Li Yuanqing and dressing is done by Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu and Caizi in person, but today, the atmosphere is obviously a little unusual, so it is their turn.
Xiaolian and Xiaohe are young after all, looking at Li Yuanqing's almost red body, they don't know where to put their hands and feet, and they don't know what to do.
This thing had to be done by Lotus Root.
Although Lotus Root is from the Qu family, she has not yet been hired, and she is unspeakably nervous about this kind of thing.
But Xiaolian and Xiaohe are Zhang Yunniang's girls, and Lotus Root is Qu Minqiu's girl, even if Lotus Lotus is determined to enter the door of the Li family, but after all, she has not yet made the trip, and she can't reprimand Xiaolian and Xiaohe for anything, so she can only tremble a little and carefully serve Li Yuanqing to dress.
Maybe she was too nervous, Lotus Root's little hands that were as white and tender as green onions were a little cold, and when they touched Li Yuanqing's body, the reaction was a little stronger.
Seeing and feeling the changes in Li Yuanqing, Lotus Root's pretty face was almost dripping out, almost with her eyes closed, serving Li Yuanqing to dress.
Li Yuanqing smelled the fragrance of the secluded place on her body, and couldn't help but be a little moved, but this is not a place after all, and he no longer plays with lotus roots, he got dressed in three or two times, and said with a smile: "Let the kitchen make a few good dishes at noon, by the way, kill a sheep." Let's make up for it. ”
"Yes, sir." Lotus nodded hurriedly, her head hanging down to her plump chest.
Li Yuanqing smiled and strode out the door.
It was already the beginning of the lunar month, the weather was already very cold, and today, there was no sun in the sky, it was gloomy, the wind was very strong, and it seemed to be snowing.
Walking to the official hall of the Intermediate Court, Huang Guoshan and Kong Youde hurriedly greeted him, and Huang Guoshan asked in a low voice: "General, what are the arrangements for today?" ”
They are the leaders of the pro-soldiers, so they naturally want to surround Li Yuanqing from time to time.
In normal circumstances, both of them have to stay in the front yard of the official hall.
But as soon as Huang Guoshan became a relative, Li Yuanqing allowed him to go home at night and come back to guard during the day.
Kong Youde was the commander of the light pole, and he took over Huang Guoshan's previous position.
Li Yuanqing nodded to the two, "Let's go to the beach first." ”
"Yes." The two hurriedly greeted the soldiers on duty, led the horses, and opened the way.
Li Yuanqing came directly to the port of Nanxinkou, at this time, fine snowflakes had begun to float in the sky, and a thick layer of ice had formed near the sea, and the snowflakes had accumulated on the ice, which was already white.
As far as the eye can see, the reckless and pale white is connected with the hazy mountains not far away, which is very desolate.
On Xu Heizi's 3,000th Corps, there are already seventy or eighty soldiers, busy on the offshore ice.
Duan Xiliang and Xu Heizi served Li Yuanqing respectively.
It was very windy, wet and cold on the beach.
Li Yuanqing also didn't understand why the girls in Dalian and Qingdao had so good skin in this kind of weather in later generations, which didn't seem to be very scientific......
After a while, a soldier quickly ran over, "General, my lord, you are all ready." ”
Xu Heizi personally went over to check the lead again, and then ran over to report to Li Yuanqing: "General, you can do it." ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Let's light the fire." ”
"Yes." Xu Heizi took out the flint and lit the fuse himself.
Soon, the flames of the squirming and 'zilala' stretched all the way to the sea with the lead.
Kong Youde had already understood a little at this time, and hurriedly asked Huang Guoshan on the side: "Brother Huang, this, does this work?" ”
Huang Guoshan couldn't help but smile, "You'll know later." ”
As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden 'boom' on the surface of the sea, and huge ice blocks tumbled and splashed upwards from the sea, as if the sky was falling apart.
Even though everyone had retreated a hundred steps away, they could still feel the powerful impact.
Kong Youde couldn't help but be dumbfounded, "This, this is really ......"
He muttered, but said it was not good.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Come forward to investigate, continue to break the ice." ”
"Yes." Xu Heizi hurriedly nodded and personally led someone forward to investigate the results.
Li Yuanqing looked back at Kong Youde and said with a smile: "How do you feel?" ”
Kong Youde was a little speechless, "General, lowly position, lowly position still a little bit I don't understand, this, how did this be done?" How could this gunpowder be so powerful? ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "This thing, hearing is false, seeing is believing." You can go up and check it out with Master Xu. ”
Kong Youde couldn't help but be overjoyed, "General Xie." "Hurry to the beach.
Duan Xiliang said with a smile: "This little hole is really full of spirit." ”
Huang Guoshan also smiled: "It's good to be young." ”
Duan Xiliang couldn't help but wonder, "Lao Huang, are you very old?" ”
Huang Guoshan smiled, "I got married, and I suddenly felt a little old." ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "It's a little reasonable." ”
The crowd laughed.
With the help of gunpowder, the work of ice crushing is no longer so complicated, requiring so much labor and even human life.
Soon, Xu Heizi, who went to check the results of the battle, came back, and the ten blasting points were all successfully blasted without accidents.
The crowd was even more overjoyed.
Li Yuanqing instructed: "This matter, after all, is dangerous, after all, we must take sufficient preparatory measures, think bad first, and then think good." Our sons, life is precious. ”
"Yes. The general is benevolent and righteous, and the humble rank is admired. The generals around him fell to their knees.
The operation on the seaside side must continue, after all, Nanxinkou is too close to the other side, only three or four hundred steps, and must not be careless.
Changsheng Island is no longer the time when it was first established, and it can be secretly hidden under the nose of Houjin, and at this time, Li Yuanqing's name has been placed on the desk of the old slave.
I'm afraid, this old thing, I have to think about it several times before going to bed.
The affairs of the army are much simpler, these rabbit cubs, just practice, eat and drink, how can they care about whether Li Yuanqing still has any money.
At noon, he returned to the official hall and had a sumptuous lunch with Zhang Yunniang, and Li Yuanqing went to inspect the work of the salt works in the south.
Although it is snowing heavily and the sea breeze is very strong, but on the coast, more than a dozen cauldrons have been erected, the pot is boiling hot with old soup, and there are cooks to add water to the pot at any time.
Changsheng Island now has a lot of livestock, 4 pig farms, 3 chicken and duck farms, and 2 cattle farms, all of which are Li Yuanqing's private property.
But at this time, the weather is so bad, in order to win people's hearts, Li Yuanqing can't spare too much silver.
The Liao people all included thick, men wearing hats and women wrapped in turbans.
Most of them came from further north, although the weather was cold, they had already adapted to it, and all the measures and supplies here were in place, and they worked very hard for their homes.
There are a total of 4 points in the salt field, stretching for dozens of miles, and in an afternoon, Li Yuanqing has walked all over, all on a normal track, and Li Yuanqing is a little relieved.
When I returned home, it was late at night, the women were asleep, but Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma were not allowed to rest, they had been waiting here for a long time, and reported to Li Yuanqing about the summary of today's work.
This is also the rule set by Li Yuanqing, as long as he is on Changsheng Island, at night, he must summarize all affairs.
Although Changsheng Island was founded by Li Yuanqing, now that the population is increasing and the composition is becoming more and more mixed, the considerations of public security and safety cannot be taken lightly.
After briefly reviewing the affairs on the island today, Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma said goodbye and left.
Maybe it was the heavy snow that helped today, Wei Liang Wei's father-in-law didn't do much today, he stayed in the house honestly, and didn't come out, but he just made a few Jinyiwei's entourage turn around the street, but the weather was so cold, how could these Jinyiwei's masters really contribute, soaked in Zhang Yunniang's restaurant for an afternoon, ate and drank, and went back to die in the evening.
Xiao Wei's father-in-law can be interesting, and Li Yuanqing has saved a lot of effort here.
It's just that although all aspects are going well, Li Yuanqing has not been able to find a way to solve the problem of silver.
According to the current weather, it is not realistic to send troops, and the most important thing is that there are no targets around, and Li Yuanqing can only be patient.
was about to think about which lady to sleep with, but at this time, Kong Youde rushed in excitedly, "General, general, over there of the 1,000th Corps, I found a few big fish on the coast." It's really a big fish. I have never seen such a big fish since I was a child. ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help it.
Kong Youde stayed at the station of the 1,000th Corps in Nanxinkou all day today, watching Xu Heizi's engineer team blow up the ice, Li Yuanqing thought that he had already fallen asleep, but he didn't expect this guy to be so excited in the middle of the night.
"Huh. What big fish? Worthy of your pleasure? Li Yuanqing smiled softly, even if he was already a little tired, but Kong Youde could be so close to him, he was happy to have a good chat with this young man.
Kong Youde hurriedly said: "General, I also know a little about my humble position, now that the island's food and materials are insufficient, aren't these big fish the best food." ”
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and also came back to his senses a little, "What kind of fish is it?" ”
Kong Youde hurriedly said: "I don't know what kind of fish it is. I also want to hear what Lord Xu said, what kind of whale is it? It's the size of a room. Enough people to eat for some time. ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Let's go, let's take a look." ”
…………
Nanxinkou Port is the station of the 1,000th Corps, and the defense is also extremely tight, no matter day or night, there are soldiers patrolling.
When Li Yuanqing arrived, he saw two huge gray-black whales stranded on the beach that was blown up today.
Duan Xiliang and Xu Heizi also came over, leading hundreds of soldiers and were scouting around.
Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, everyone hurriedly saluted.
"General, this is really auspicious. These two big fish can be regarded as the solution to our urgent needs. Xu Heizi said with a smile.
He is in charge of the ice frying work on Immortal Island, and the burden is very heavy, and he looks a little tired, but his spirit is excellent.
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Why didn't you go home to rest tonight?" ”
Xu Heizi smiled, "It's too late today, it's almost finished here, and I want to be lazy tomorrow." ”
Duan Xiliang was on duty tonight, and he happened to be here, so he smiled and said, "General, we are short of food." God brought us two big fish. The general is really blessed. ”
This guy was brought out by Li Yuanqing, and he was looking forward to Li Yuanqing rising higher and higher, and the sooner the better.
In fact, this atmosphere has begun to exist in the Changsheng Camp army since the Battle of Lushun.
Li Yuanqing needed this kind of momentum, but he must not go too far, and said with a smile: "God really gives me face." Let's go over and see. ”
As he spoke, he took the lead and strode towards the whale.
