Li Xiao put away the letter and glanced at the two old guys who were looking at each other. Seeing that Ao Canghai was still holding the flintlock pistol on the side and didn't let go, Li Xiao walked up to the old fisher and said with a smile: "To be honest, how far can this thing hit." ”

"Six hundred steps, you saw that." The old fisherman pretended to be innocent and said.

"Six hundred steps, just him? He's almost seventy, and his eyes don't even spent. There's a pig six hundred paces away, and you ask him if he can see clearly. Don't fool me, if you fool me again, I'll let that old guy shoot again. I want to see if he can hit or not. ”

Li Xiao can see clearly, although the dummy bullet is powerful. But the wounds on the pig's body were obviously too severe, and even a dummy bullet could not have caused such a large wound.

Besides, hit a pig six hundred paces away. Li Xiao didn't believe that the old devil Inatomi Youzhi was a sniper.

The only explanation is that the two old guys cheated, presumably by sticking gunpowder on the pig's leg and blowing up this wound. At that time, everyone was looking at this new musket, and no one was looking at the pig. Li Xiao didn't even look at it, and only went to see the pig after the gun went off.

"You kid is a monkey with hair, don't tell Lao Ao when you tell you. This shot can hit 600 paces away, but it's hard to say. But at a distance of 200 paces, there is absolutely no problem, where to fight! The old fisherman patted his chest and assured Li Xiao.

The veteran Youzi is actually talking about people like Yulao, who are actually the smartest people. No matter where you go, it's smooth and slippery, and it's not easy to hold it. Fortunately, the weakness of the old guy is the orphans of these craftsmen, since Li Xiao raised them, the old fisherman will not have two hearts.

Two hundred steps! This distance is still recognized by Li Xiao, and at a distance of 200 meters, the dummy bullet has a strong stopping effect on both people and horses. There shouldn't be much of a problem dealing with the Tartars!

"The fastest time, how many such guns can be modified."

"If it's fast, you can get one a day. Something could happen soon! The fisherman thought for a moment and said.

The new rifle was very slow, although Li Xiao stored a lot of barrels. But the rifling is grinding very slowly, and the sledgehammer is desperately building the broaching machine. It is hoped that the number of broaching machines will be used to compensate for the slow processing.

Now if you want to use it urgently, you can only use the existing arquebus to retrofit.

"In five days, I want five guns like this. Be quick! ”

"No!" Seeing what Li Xiao said solemnly, the old fisher immediately hugged his fists and promised.

In Li Xiao's small conference room, Ao Canghai, Man Gui, Yu Lao, and Mao Wenlong were all sitting on chairs. Li Xiu stood behind Li Xiao, and on the table was the letter from the Jiliao Governor Wang Zaijin.

It's winter again, and the war horses have fattened up the autumn fat tartars and are ready to move again.

This time, the target of the Tartars was not the Ming Dynasty, but North Korea. When Nurhachi wants to attack the Ming Dynasty, he has a stable flank and rear.

In the two battles of Zhenjiangbao, Nurhachi lost a mess. For the first time, the commander Tong Yang died in battle. The second time, all the food prepared for Amin was burned to ashes by a fire.

Nurhachi suspects that the North Koreans posed as Ming soldiers. He didn't think that the Ming army dared to run to his rear to make trouble.

The defeated Amin was scolded by Nurhachi, and this time Nurhachi sent him and the veteran Kyaw Lo Baishan to lead two blue flags to attack North Korea. It is important to make the Korean Li Dynasty submit, and have a stable flank when he lets go to attack the Ming Dynasty.

Daming Jinyiwei is not a vegetarian either, after hearing the news. It was immediately reported to Wang Zaijin, so Wang Zaijin remembered Mao Wenlong who was floating far away on the sea.

He ordered Mao Wenlong to set out from the sea to help North Korea defend Pyongyang. At the same time, there was also the deputy chief soldier Zhao Shujiao. He will board a ship at Shanhaiguan and head for North Korea.

"This battle can be fought by the old man, North Korea has a lot of minerals and timber. It's all what we need on our island, and Brother Xiao didn't say that he wanted to build a ship. If you want to build a ship, you have to have wood, and we can't do this wood on the island. It is best to use pine and cypress wood that are more than 100 years old for shipbuilding, and there are many of them in North Korea.

Besides, although the king of the Yi Dynasty of Korea is mediocre, and the people in the country are poor. But the nobles are arrogant and lascivious, and the soap and glass we produce can be sold to them to supplement the island's use.

Now there are more than 1,000 people on the island, and this man eats and chews a small number. If this goes on for a long time, we will just sit back and eat nothing. Others didn't speak, Mao Wenlong shook his head and said first.

Ao Canghai glanced at Mao Wenlong, who felt good about himself, and Man Gui didn't even bother to glance at him.

The old fisher nodded: "Shipbuilding does need a century-old pine wood, and it also needs cypress wood to make beams." In addition, the iron ore of Goryeo is in good condition, and the blades forged with Goryeo iron ore when the old man was in North Korea are much better than those forged by our Daming iron ore. ”

"Since there are so many benefits, let's do it! It's not a matter for us to train our troops every day, and soldiers still have to fight. Ao Canghai also echoed the words of the old fisherman.

"I don't have anything to say, I'm done. Left and right are playing Tartars! Man Gui said sullenly.

He was the most depressed of all, and the Mongols were born cavalry. But Man Gui can't be a cavalryman, and there is a big place on the island. Before I could sweat on the horse, I almost ran to the end.

Now that I hear that there is a war, how can I not be happy.

"Since everyone agrees to fight, let's go to Goryeo to fight this battle. By the way, I also talked to the king of Goryeo about business and got some money back. Big Brother Man set off first with the horse team, and our ship capacity is not enough. Your horse team will be the first to set off, and when you arrive in Goryeo, you will make a front stop for us.

When the ship came back, Ao Ye and I boarded the ship again with the artillery team and the musket team and went to North Korea. Li Xiu and Master Mao stayed on the island, leaving a company for the musket team and a team for the artillery team. Listen to Li Xiu's command! ”

Li Xiaocai is not worried that Mao Wenlong is in power, and now the most he can do is to let him be a primary school teacher.

Mao Wenlong didn't interject, anyway, he didn't participate or not, he always had a share of the credit for the battle. This kind of good thing of making meritorious service while lying down, where to find it.

As long as Li Xiao's Phi Island is still under the banner of the Ming Dynasty for a day, he has to provide himself with this tablet for a day. The Ming court only knew that the boss on Phi Island was Mao Wenlong. That's why Mao Wenlong is not worried, Li Xiao will unload the mill and kill the donkey.

After the meeting, Man Gui took his brothers to the docks. Liu Laoliu mobilized all the ships that could be mobilized, and only then did he load more than 100 war horses of Man Gui, as well as more than 100 old men.

"Big brother, I'm going to Shandong to pull ore this month. I'm on the island, so who's going to go! Li Xiu looked at the distant sail shadow and asked.

"Let Huzi go, he's too old to learn something serious. Let the old fisher accompany him, there is something that the old fisherman should be able to deal with. ”

"Okay, I'll go talk to Huzi."

The plan to attack Zhenjiang Fort again appeared in Li Xiao's mind in an instant. However, Li Xiao quickly dismissed this tempting idea, and people will not trip over the same stone twice.

Nurhachi had already fallen twice at Zhenjiang Fort, and he definitely wouldn't fall a third time. This time, he said that he would also send heavy troops to garrison it.

There was no wharf at Zhenjiang Fort, and it was difficult for trebuchets to land. Without the fire cover of trebuchets, musketeers could easily be spotted by cavalry.

At present, these musketeers under his command, if they encounter the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, they will only be slaughtered.

It's better to go to North Korea and listen to Mao Wenlong and the fisherman say that Pyongyang is also a fortified city. With the advantage of the fortified city, even if there is not much success, there will definitely not be much loss. I don't believe it, but the horses of the Tartars can rush up the wall.

Besides, Li Xiao also wants to see what kind of virtue the city where *** lives in the Ming Dynasty.

PS: The length unit of the previous chapters is said to be meters, and some book friends say that there is no unit of meters in the Ming Dynasty. Now the unification has been changed to steps, which is Lao Long's negligence, and he solemnly apologizes to his book friends.
