The typhoon raged for a whole day and night, when the sun rose again. The dazzling sunlight cast into the room from the glass, and everyone seemed to come to life in an instant. Both men and women ran outside to breathe in the salty smell of the air after the rain.

Inatomi tried his best to get close to the glass and carefully observe this new material that can transmit light and block typhoons. Typhoons are very common in Japan, and he knows all too well how precious they are in Japan.

Li Xiao didn't have time to care about whether an old devil was close to the glass, whether he was looking or smelling. Now he's going to take stock of the island's losses!

The gold and silver are all in the cellar, which of course will not have any problems. But in other places, it was very miserable, and seven or eight thousand catties of coal were blown away by the typhoon. There were also forty or fifty bags of cement that had not had time to be transferred, which were also wiped out.

The only thing that was lucky was that Li Xiao moved the gunpowder into the newly built house in advance.

The crude blacksmith shop was largely gone, except for a few tools and a ruined blast furnace. As for the broken sheds of the carpentry shop, the masons are fine. Wang Laosan moved all their things into the brick kiln, and although there was some rain, it was not serious.

The two captured Japanese warships were blown off by the huge waves and smashed on the reef. The rest of the ship was fine, after this time. Li Xiao felt that it was very important to replace the anchor chain with iron.

A typhoon caused heavy losses to Phi Dao, and this is still like Li Xiao's dog chasing rabbits. Otherwise, the typhoon's huge destructive capacity, I don't know how many people here will survive.

As a last resort, Li Xiu took people to follow Liu Laoliu to go to sea again to buy coal in Shandong. The blast furnace should resume production, and the cement kiln should continue to burn cement. All of this is inseparable from coal, and it will be winter in a few months. Not to mention the lack of coal, more than 2,000 people burned fires, which was enough to burn all the trees on Phi Island.

What made Li Xiao scratch his head even more was that a lot of grain was soaked in the seawater.

"How long will there be enough food to eat?" Li Xiao scratched his head and said. There are thousands of people, and it is impossible to go without eating.

"It's no problem for more than half a month, and it's enough to save some food for a month." Ao Canghai looked at the roaring sea and spat out. The weather on this dog day, there is nothing to do with any typhoons.

"Why don't you go to Shandong and buy some more!" Mao Wenlong interjected. He really wanted to go ashore now, and he had had enough of Phi Dao.

"Buying is not a way after all, although we are stronger than a thousand taels of gold. But I can't help but buy coal, build ships, and buy iron ore. It cost a lot of money, and now I see winter. We still have to buy some cotton, chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cows, etc., and we have to buy some.

This year's Chinese New Year, we can't be the same as last year. Let's eat rice and radish strips......! When Lao Tzu sees radish now, he is a little sick to his stomach. ”

"Why don't we go and grab some more food, I heard from my brothers who met the fishing boat at sea. Zhenjiang Fort was restored again, and the Tartars not only stationed troops there. And the fishermen were to be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver if they found out where we were.

We took this kennel of theirs, and not only robbed them of their food. And it also cut off their thoughts, so that they don't always want to trouble us. "Man Gui's body is always full of violent genes.

In his opinion, the production is not as good as the robbery. If you want to get rich, robbery is definitely a shortcut.

"I think it's okay to hit the arrogance of the Tartars. Don't keep trying to get in trouble with us! Li Xiao also agreed.

"That's it! I'm going to gather the men, and we now have two big ships of 3,000 materials. This time it can hold a lot of things! ”

Mao Wenlong moved his mouth, but still didn't speak.

"Brother Man Gui, don't go this time." Li Xiao glanced at Mao Wenlong, who had walked away, and said to Man Gui.

"Why?" Man Gui was stunned. For him, who loves war, not being able to go out to fight is definitely intolerable.

"Look at him! There's something wrong with this old guy, and he's been secretly hooking up some people lately. I'm afraid that if we all leave, something will happen. ”

"I know that the officials of the dog day are not kind, Brother Xiao'er! Or ...... him! Man Gui made a gesture to wipe his neck.

"No! Shen Guangzuo's relationship still depends on him to maintain, without Shandong's support. Our survival is a problem, not to mention anything else. Coal, cotton, iron ore and these things. Which one is not allowed to go to Shandong to buy, if you offend the Shandong government. Let's buy a fart! You can't go to Shandong to rob it, they are all Ming people, and I can't do it. ”

Li Xiao said helplessly!

"Alright! I'll stay, shit, to see what tricks he can do. Man Gui spat at Mao Wenlong, who was far away, and left angrily.

The fleet still set off in the middle of the night, and when they arrived at Zhenjiang Fort, it was just dawn.

"Dismount! Disembarked! Organize the line of defense, organize the line of defense! Ao Canghai's deep voice resounded on the beach.

The only bad thing about Zhenjiang Fort is that there is no pier, and the soldiers need to land on the beach. Ao Canghai had to take the first batch of more than 100 people to land and build a solid beachhead. Waiting for the arrival of the second group of soldiers!

Fortunately, this is the time when people sleep heaviestly, and there is not even a single person on the coast, let alone a Tartar patrol.

By the time the musketeers had come ashore, it was already dawn. The sun peeked out on the sea level, and the rising sun shone golden on the water.

"Let's go!" Li Xiao gave the order, and the musket team began to advance. Behind him were more than 500 recruits with red tassel guns! There are only so many muskets in Li Xiao's hand, and it is impossible to assemble them for more than 500 recruits. Now they all have spears in their hands, in fact, this time, Li Xiao is ready to use them as laborers.

Zhenjiang Fort has been here once, so this time it is a familiar road. But when he came to Zhenjiang Fort, Li Xiao was still surprised.

I saw that outside Zhenjiang Fort, a lot of granaries were densely hoarded. On the other side, there are even larger forage farms. The forage inside can only be described as a mountain of piles.

"All into the woods!" Li Xiao was taken aback in his heart, and ordered everyone to hide in the forest.

"What's going on?" Ao Canghai walked over and asked.

"Something is wrong! You look at so much food, and so much forage. This is definitely not just one or two thousand people, saying that there are five or six thousand people here and believing it. We can't deal with so many people! Li Xiao regretted it a little, why didn't he do a good reconnaissance before the war.

I got carried away by several victories and forgot a word from the tactical instructor of the non-commissioned officer school at the beginning. Victory is built on Scouting! Investigation! On the basis of re-reconnaissance!

In Li Xiao's heart, there was an ominous premonition!
