CHAPTER XV
"Looking at what I'm doing, don't they all think about maximizing the benefits of Jue Luo Bai Mountain. There's never been a better time to maximize your chance! We don't have a way to communicate with the Tartars, but now we have to see if the Tartars care about this old lackey of Nurhachi.
If Nurhachi really cares, he will definitely send Li Yongfang to talk to us. All we pay is an old guy with broken hands and feet, and I don't know if I can grow up well. The price to be paid by the Tartars is terrible, and how can Nurhachi be worthy of Nurhachi's love for his old dogs and horses if he doesn't slaughter them fiercely. ”
"I said that the dog that bites doesn't bark, and this kid has a mouth that is harder than a wolf. This time, the tartar is not able to shed its skin. ”
"You dog can't spit ivory out of his mouth!" Li Xiao was so angry that he picked up the cushion behind him and smashed it towards Ao Canghai. What words can be used when you them, can you say that Lao Tzu is a dog?
"You two, dog bite dog hair." Man Gui took a sip of tea, in the angry eyes of Li Xiao and Ao Canghai. grabbed a handful of melon seeds from Ao Canghai and walked out while snorting.
Li Xiao wanted to go over and kick this vicious guy, but considering the factor that he couldn't beat him, he decided to forgive Man Gui very much.
The cavalry escorting the Korean woman returned, and they gave up and ran back when they encountered the scouts of the two blue flags. One thing is for sure, the woman will never freeze to death in the wasteland of North Korea.
Li Xiao had no other choice but to wait in Pyongyang for news.
Zhao led the sect away, and before leaving, he bought Li Xiao's 300 heads. This cargo can finally be explained when it returns to Shanhaiguan, and there is a Daming sailor off the coast of North Korea. His 8,000 men and horses can go directly back to Shanhaiguan along the waterway, and there is nothing to worry about except seasickness.
Korean ginseng is a really good thing, and after the wounded soldiers eat it, they recover quite quickly. However, two of the seriously wounded who were hit by an arrow in the chest still died. The cause of death was all wound infection, thanks to the cold winter in North Korea. Otherwise, many more will die.
Thankfully, there was no such cruelty as amputation. Otherwise, watching the arms and legs of a big living person being sawed off alive. Li Xiao will have some guilt in his heart!
These are all the evil consequences of decades of peace in later generations, and later generations of Chinese soldiers have little chance to fight. And even if there were, it was against some drug trafficking organization or mercenaries from abroad.
The characteristics of the special operation are that the number of people cannot be large, and if you don't say anything about small-scale crossings, I won't say that you can turn a blind eye and forget it. But you drove hundreds of thousands of people over, and you are really blind to the satellites in the sky.
There are too few soldiers who have seen blood, and too few soldiers who have seen wars. Peace is a terminal disease of the army, and once there is no war for a long time, it will be difficult for the army to guarantee that blood.
Although Li Xiao was a member of Zhu Ri and the Blue Army's special forces, he was like most soldiers of that era. There is no chance to go to war, let alone any battle. All you can do is sweat on the training ground.
The training ground is always different from the battlefield!
When he saw the Hunhe battlefield for the first time, Li Xiao was actually shocked. When he was in Zhenjiang Fort, Li Xiao charged into battle and felt that his blood was burning. However, after a few battles, Li Xiao's feelings about the battlefield began to change.
He was no longer excited, no longer excited by the smell of blood. Maybe this is the difference between a veteran who has seen blood and a new recruit.
Seeing the wounded soldiers getting better one after another, Li Xiao's heart fell to the ground. Thankfully, not many people died.
The bodies of the dead were incinerated to ashes, although the Han people paid attention to the return of horse leather shrouds. But now I really don't have this condition, and the winter is fine. If it was summer, the corpse would have stinked long ago.
The ashes of the dead were placed in front of them, and Li Xiao invited North Korean monks to give them a surplus. I just don't know if these Shandong men can understand the chanting of North Korean monks.
Their treatment is much better than that of those red-armored Bayala troops, and Li Xiao's attitude towards the Tartars has always been to kill and not bury. So those elite red-armored Bayala troops are still lying on the cold land of North Korea.
The cold wind blowing from the Gaima Plateau froze them into ice sculptures. Some of them had obvious wolf bite marks, but their carcasses remained relatively intact. Because they were frozen so hard that the wolves couldn't bite them.
The two blue flags retreated to the north bank of the Yalu River, and the Korean king Yi Liang offered Li Xiao like an ancestor. Several times, he openly and secretly asked Li Xiao if he was married and whether he was interested in marrying a Korean princess as his wife.
Li Liang wished that Li Xiao would never return to the Ming Dynasty and become the son-in-law of North Korea. Look at what that means, as long as Li Xiaoken nods. immediately sent Her Royal Highness the princess to wash it in vain, and there was a problem with the wood in the cave room that day. For the sake of his own glory and wealth, Li Kun can be regarded as showing his face.
After waiting for ten days, the North Korean girl who had been summoned did not return. But when Li Hu came, the goods escorted a batch of supplies to Pyongyang. Let some overstretched arms stocks once again plump.
"Big brother, this is a new musket that the fishermen are rushing to refit. There is also a letter from the fisherman! ”
"The Fisherman will write a letter?" Li Xiao was surprised by the speed of literacy on the island, and the fisherman's literacy level was barely enough to read letters. Still writing letters?
The old fisherman said that Mr. Mao wrote it on the side. Big brother, just look at it! There are also letters from Xiaoyu and Xiaohao to you, as well as from the second brother. Li Hu took out a large stack of letters from his personal pocket and said to Li Xiao.
Smelling the letter paper with the obvious smell of sour sweat, Li Xiao knew that Li Hu hadn't taken a bath for a long time.
"Lao Ao, take the tiger to wash." Li Xiao shouted, and Li Hu's face immediately collapsed. He wasn't very afraid of others, but he was really afraid of Man Gui and Ao Canghai. These two people are not used to his problems, and they use bristle brushes on their bodies in the bath, and the taste is simply worse than death.
"Big brother......!"
"Hurry up! It's all dirty into pigs, and I finally washed the lice, and I'm still worried about lice? ”
"Oh!" Seeing that Ao Canghai was about to come in, Li Hu ran out of the smoke.
The first one unfolded the fisherman's letterhead, and the fisherman didn't say much. It is to tell Li Xiao that he can pay attention to the barrel of the Daming Flame Gun collected from North Korea. Because their research has found that the barrel of the Grand Feu is very strong.
Li Xiao also understands this, Da Ming makes gun barrels. They are all made of two layers of iron pipes to roll into a barrel, and then use a drill bit to drill out a barrel with a smooth inner diameter. The barrel produced by this manufacturing process is very strong and durable, but the disadvantage is that it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the level of manufacturing craftsmen is very high. It is said that a skilled craftsman can only drill an inch a day.
After reading the old fisherman's letter, Li Xiao's heart moved. Came up with an idea right away!
Li Xiu's letter said the details of Phi Dao after Li Xiao left. He also said that when Li Hu went to hand over the pyrite, he performed very well. Xiaoyu and Xiaohao are both concentrating on studying, and Mao Wenlong has been very low-key recently.
I stayed in school all day, and at night I hung out with the two North Korean women. Never have much contact with people, and don't talk much to other people. Compared to the previous activity, it is like a different person.
Everything was fine on the island, and Zhao Tiezhu improved the process of pyrite refining. More nitrocellulose can be produced next month, but the island's wineries are now running out of food. The production of alcohol has decreased!
The soap factory is working overtime, and the Chen family is very interested in soap that can give off a fragrance. When Li Hu went to Shandong to hand over the pyrite, Chen Fu once asked for more orders. For specific things, let Li Xiao ask Li Hu.
Very good! Li Xiao knew that Mao Wenlong was avoiding suspicion!
This old guy is a smart man, and he knows that Li Xiao's credit in North Korea will definitely have his share. And he still takes the big head, in this case, the ghost is willing to stir up trouble all over the world.
In Phi Dao, the last thing that reassures Li Xiao is Mao Wenlong. Since he's honest, it's easy to say anything else.
Li Hao's letter was written by himself, and the standard and square handy made Li Xiao embarrassed. This youngest brother is very smart and willing to work hard in his studies. In terms of learning attitude, it is much better than Xiaoyu.
In his heart, Li Hao told his eldest brother that he had memorized the ninety-nine multiplication table. Mr. Mao also specially praised him, and he relied on the first place in the exam. Mr. Mao personally put a big red flower ...... on him!
It seems that the Li family is about to become the champion.
Xiaoyu's letter is the thickest, and when Li Xiao opened it, he saw that it was not a letter, but a painting.
Danqing can't talk about the magic hand, and he can barely make Li Xiao understand that the painting is a bird, not a dinosaur, and a pig is not a crocodile, and he is already taking care of this big brother who is fighting outside.
It looks like the girl's study is not good!
Phi Dao is the most favored one, except for Xiaoyu, there is no one else. Her big watery eyes are nuclear bomb-level weapons. As long as you look at a person with tears in your eyes, even a murderous demon king like Man Gui will be defeated.
Several times, Li Xiao saw Xiaoyu pestering Ao Canghai and wanted to braid him. Ao Canghai was entangled by her, so he could only flee in the wilderness, and he didn't dare to appear for several days.
If Mao Wenlong's ring ruler dares to hit those little hands like green onions, it is estimated that Xiao Yuyi will sue after going back. Mr. Mao will definitely be beaten by Man Gui and Ao Canghai and can't take care of himself!
The first piece of paper shows a pig that looks like a crocodile, lying on its stomach in a pigsty. The black stuff below, Li Xiao thought about it for a long time, and it was estimated that it should be a little pig. That is, the old sow on the island gave birth to piglets.
The second piece of paper is a dinosaur, uh ......! It should be Xiaobai, standing on the beam like an owl. Below is a guy with a stick, pointing at Xiaobai and scolding.
Xiaobai's mouth is ...... Bra? It doesn't seem to have that on the island! The guy at the bottom has a beard, and he looks like he knows it's Mao Wenlong. Could it be that the old gentleman is also keen on creating inventions and has tinkered with bras in advance?
