Chapter 95
Changxing Island is a large island located in the Bohai Bay. It is more than 30 kilometers long and about 11 kilometers wide. The highest peak on the island, Tower Mountain, is more than 300 meters above sea level. This is Changxing Island of Li Xiao's memory!
Li Xiao was lucky, and the monkey was escorted to Shanhaiguan. Wang Zaijin was transferred to Beijing to report on his work, and he was delayed for a month after coming and going. This gave Li Xiao enough time to prepare, and Li Xiao, who got the news, could only say, God help me!
Li Xiao asked the fifth master to secretly see the monkey, and asked the monkey to bring the official ship to Changxing Island.
The meeting place is at the foot of Ta Mountain, and there are already fishermen on Changxing Island. Li Xiao gave them some silver and asked them to temporarily move to the other side of the island. Or live on a ship, just vacate the house anyway.
Some agreed to come down when they saw the money, some sat on the ground and raised the price, and some were unwilling to move at all.
Li Xiao gave full understanding and respect, and sent him away when he saw the money. Those who sit on the ground and start to pay a meal and send them away, and those who don't want to move at all are carried out and sent away.
Ao Canghai's musket team was ambushed in the woods, and Man Gui followed behind Li Xiao. As long as the situation is not right, you have to fight if you can't say it.
"Lord Mao, there is something wrong with you going to Li Xiao on the island. But you know, it's a last resort. At the beginning, in order to survive, we escaped from Liaoyang. Who knows where it will go! As long as you help the island pass this level, you will have a share of the credit for the island in the future, and it will be natural for you to become an official and become a knight. There will certainly be no shortage of silver! ”
Li Xiao himself felt that he was a little shameless!
Mao Wenlong, the dignified Liaoyang capital, became an empty shelf when he arrived at Phi Island. In the end, he was actually sent to engage in pig breeding! This is simply an insult to the reader, and he meets a person with character. Maybe you've already wiped your neck and hanged yourself!
Mao Dusi is self-contained, one does not cry and the other does not make trouble. Conscientiously study pig breeding technology, under his hard work. During the Chinese New Year this year, Phi Dao pig breeding has reached a new level. The number of slaughters has reached as many as 10, and the growth rate has reached 100%.
"You little bastard, now you need the old man. Just like that, you asked the old man to raise pigs. What did you think about then? The old man is dignified in Liaoyang Mansion, whether he wants to be a man when he spreads out. Hum! Mao Wenlong slapped the table "pop" and "pop", pointed at Li Xiao's nose and scolded.
I can't help it, I beg someone. Li Xiao could only spit on himself, to be honest, Li Xiao also felt that Mao Wenlong was right to scold him. Regarding Mao Wenlong, Li Xiao has always been vigilant enough. I'm afraid that this scheming old guy will make waves on the island.
"Old fellow! You try it again! Lao Tzu gave you a white knife in and a red knife out, and you were fucking shaking. Didn't you just let you go to the government and say a few words with the official? What's so special? Big deal, Lao Tzu will kill you first. Kill the officials who landed on the island again, and Lao Tzu will be a pirate! Ao Canghai took out a dagger and slammed it into the table.
Man Gui glanced at Mao Wenlong and dragged a whetstone "click" and "click" sharpening knife.
Mao Wenlong was so frightened that he sat down again, his face was blue and his lips trembled. He knew that these two guys could do it if they chopped him up and made dumplings. They say that the white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, but that is definitely not to scare themselves.
Even if they kill themselves, the court can't do anything to them. Liaodong has been lost, how can the imperial court have the time to care about these guys who are living abroad. With Li Xiao's ingenuity, maybe being a pirate is more comfortable than being an official.
"Ao Ye! Don't be so vicious! How can I say that Master Mao also came out of Liaoyang with us, and this friendship is still there. Don't listen to Master Mao, just ask for anything. As far as I can, Li Xiao, I will definitely do it for you. As long as you say a few kind words in front of Shangguan, and in the future, if Phi Dao makes contributions, you will also be promoted to the rank of knight? ”
Li Xiao smiled like a fox who had eaten a fat chicken, which had been discussed in advance. One sings white-faced, and the other two sing red-faced. I'm not afraid that this Lord Mao will not give in!
"Humph!" Mao Wenlong snorted and decided not to speak again. If you talk too much to this kid, you will definitely lose your life.
"So you agreed, and turned back to our island. The girl of Goryeo arranges two for you to serve you, and raising pigs is not in line with your status. Look at how you manage the soap factory, it's clean and clean. You know, it's the most lucrative income on the island. "If you slap it, you must give a sweet date. Always using force to intimidate will cause rebellion.
"Really?" Mao Wenlong glanced up at Li Xiao, and he still trusted Li Xiao's character. Since you can't play tricks, it's better to try to get a little benefit for yourself. As long as you are alive, you have a chance to turn over, it is better than being thrown into the sea by that guy in Ao Canghai to feed the sharks.
"I, Li Xiao, speak, when I don't count." Li Xiao patted his chest like King Kong and promised.
"Then the old man will believe you once!" Mao Wenlong glanced at Ao Canghai and Man Gui and agreed!
After getting rid of Mao Wenlong, Li Xiao was waiting for the arrival of the official ship on the island.
After waiting for three days, seven or eight warships came from the direction of Liaodong. The warship was full of Ming soldiers with helmets and armor, and the big banner with black characters on a red background on the mast was blown by the sea wind.
Finally, when the wait came, Ao Canghai burrowed into the forest like a mouse. As long as Li Xiu lit the signal, he would shoot out in the forest. The cotton armor of the Ming army was a piece of paper in front of the musket.
Seven or eight ships are only about a thousand people, and a thousand Tartars are not a problem. Will you be afraid of them?
The official ship docked at the fisherman's wharf and came down first with 100 officers and men wearing helmets and armor and holding spears. After the fisherman's wharf was alerted, the official ships behind docked one after another.
Li Xiao first saw the mouse, and then saw a person with white skin and three long hairs and a graceful demeanor getting off the official ship.
These days, I also learned some knowledge about the grades of Ming officials with Mao Wenlong, and the clothing of officials is roughly divided into three types, which are divided according to the grades of officials. The Ming Dynasty had clear regulations that the color of the official uniform of the officials from the first rank to the fourth rank in the court was unified as a red robe. For fifth- to seventh-grade officials, the requirement for official uniforms is cyan. The officials of the eighth and ninth grades have green uniforms.
If the pattern on the official uniform is a bird, it proves that the official is a civil official, and if it is a beast, it proves that it is a military attaché. As far as civil officials are concerned, grades 1 to 9 correspond to nine species of birds, namely: cranes, golden pheasants, peacocks, cloud geese, white pheasants, herons, mandarin ducks, orioles and quails.
The officer was wearing a cyan official uniform with a white bird on his chest. Obviously, this is a five-grade official.
Mao Wenlong has no official uniform on his body, and the timing of escaping from Liaoyang is relatively special. When I bumped into Li Xiao and Ao Canghai, I was doing indescribable things with women.
"Xiaguan Mao Wenlong, see Shangguan. Dare to ask the officials! Mao Wenlong took the initiative to walk to the front, and Li Xiao clenched his fists nervously. Man Gui held his hand on the handle of the knife, Li Xiu's eyes were firmly fixed on the eldest brother, and as soon as he signaled, he lit the grenade in his hand and threw it out.
Ao Canghai in the forest was also very nervous looking at this side, swallowing his saliva hard. As soon as a grenade goes off, he immediately releases the gun. At this distance, a single salvo can take out a man.
"This official Ning Qian's soldiers are preparing for affairs, Yuan Chonghuan! You are Lord Liaoyang Dusi Mao? ”
