"Big brother, don't drink anymore." Seeing that there was faint blood in the things that Zu Dashou spit out, Wu Xiang hugged Zu Dashou.

"Get out! One more of these firearms, and the brothers will be able to kill more tartars. It can also allow more brothers to survive! Today, my ancestor died of drinking, and I have to drink a few more firecrackers for my brothers. As long as he gives us firearms, you are not allowed to seek revenge on Li Xiao after the fucking incident. Zu Dashou pushed Wu Xiang away.

"Uncle!" Wu Sangui's eyes were red.

"Sangui! Pour wine, your uncle is still done. Zu Dashou tore open his robe with both hands, revealing his chest full of chest hair. Stimulated by alcohol, the chest resembles a boiled prawn.

"Brother Xiao, if this person dies of drinking. Your sin will become bigger, and the entire Liao army will treat you as an enemy. You black gun, I think Lao Ao is decided. Ao Canghai walked up to Li Xiao and whispered. Several guards followed Ao Canghai and quietly gathered around Li Xiao.

Li Xiao also regrets it a little now, he just wants to fill Zu Dashou more. The inspiration still comes from the TV series of later generations, what wholesale steel, a glass of wine and a ton of steel. Who would have thought that Zu Dashou would actually play with his life for the firecracker.

But it's too late to regret it now, and now if Li Xiao speaks out, he will stop it. Zu Dashou didn't have to do anything, the officers and soldiers of the Liao army could chop Li Xiao into meat puree.

Wu Sangui wiped his eyes and continued to pour wine from the wine jar.

"Nineteen bowls!"

"Twenty bowls!"

"Twenty-one bowls!"

"Wow......!"

Zu Dashou once again squirted out a sip of wine!

"Uncle, stop drinking!" Wu Sangui fell to his knees with a "poof".

"In order to kill a few brothers less, my ancestor drank to death, even if he fell asleep. Sangui, pour wine! ”

"Uncle......!"

"Pour the wine!"

"Twenty-two bowls!"

"Twenty-three bowls!"

"Twenty-four bowls!"

"Twenty-five bowls!"

After drinking the twenty-fifth bowl, Zu Dashou's body fell like half a log, and he squirted wine out of his mouth like a whale. Wu Xiang grabbed Zu Dashou's body, and his tears couldn't stop flowing.

In order to kill a few fewer brothers, my ancestor drank to death even if he fell asleep. Oh, my God! Zu Dashou is a saint!

Even if he is not a saint, at least he is a general who talks about hooligan righteousness.

"Give him fifty hammers, and collect thirty of them. In these years, there are not many generals who are willing to sacrifice their lives for their subordinates. Li Xiao commanded and left the hall with his hands behind his back.

No wonder he guarded the Daling River, and his subordinates still did not abandon him even when he was in a desperate situation. No wonder Jinzhou, which could only be defended for eight months, was defended for two whole years.

The servants in the government office now also know that this boss is always not easy to mess with. The ancestral general soldier, who has always had his head on the door of his head, was brought back to life by this master. I heard that there are already Zu Zongbing's cronies outside the door who are ready to the guy and kill this kid who doesn't know whether to live or die.

Li Xiao strictly ordered his subordinates to go out, and he did a little too much today. To be honest, Li Xiao is very worried now. Zu Dashou will die of stomach bleeding! Although this bastard's mouth stinks a little and his temper is a little bad. But as a commander, as a military man, he is qualified.

I sent someone to send a good Korean ginseng, I don't know if this thing will work or not, but I still have to do my best.

The effect was very bad, and the ginseng was thrown out. If it weren't for Wu Xiangyou's orders, Ai Husheng, who went to deliver something, would have almost been beaten.

I heard that Li Xiao only stayed for one night, and there was an endless stream of people who came to visit. Of course, they all came to Li Xiao to buy firecrackers, and today's small test at the dock can be regarded as a brand for Li Xiao's firecrackers.

"Great Master, we sold a total of five hundred firecrackers tonight. Only 50 sticks for Zu Dashou are paid in cash, and we have to pay off the rest within three months. We received a deposit of 5,000 taels, this is the list! Ai Husheng handed the list to Li Xiao with both hands.

Li Xiaocai was reluctant to deal with these guys who were general officers and generals, and the military household system of the Ming Dynasty had been corrupted to the point of no return. Combat effectiveness is not at all discussed, but officers always need to fight. So who does it depend on to fight?

Family!

In fact, the big families in these years basically have families. But the family members of the general's family are not the same as those in other people's families, and the family members of the general's family are all brave and ruthless, and dare to fight and dare to fight. went to the battlefield, and they were the ones who were most desperate around the main general.

The bitter soldiers in those military households, that is, the meaning. See if the enemy is weak and can still deal with it, if you encounter a strong enemy like the Tartar soldiers, ......! I'm sorry, my brother hasn't lived enough, bye-bye!

To put it bluntly, the family is a private arm. Whether the general can fight or not depends entirely on whether his subordinates are powerful or not.

For example, Li Chengliang, the former commander-in-chief of Liaodong, was invincible in Liaodong. Nurhachi has to be docile like a cat in front of him, all because Li Chengliang has a team that can fight, Liaodong Iron Cavalry! Mr. Ao Canghai was once a member of this glorious team.

Li Xiao understands that these high-ranking officers have purchased arms. It will definitely not be used in the hands of those bitter soldiers, but will appear in the hands of the family.

"Zhao Shujiao ordered a hundred at once, and he is really fucking rich." Li Xiao looked at the list in his hand and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It's no wonder that the United States of America in later generations likes to stir up trouble and sell arms everywhere, which is really fucking profitable.

A brand-new flintlock pistol costs no more than thirty taels of silver at most, and a hundred rounds of ammunition are only fifty taels. After extorting tens of thousands of barrels from Nurhachi, the cost was even lower. This doubling is six or seven times the amount of money, and the transaction is too easy to do. It didn't matter, and the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver arrived.

More than 100,000 taels of silver, even if the emperor listens to it, he will be tempted by it. Who the hell says that the poor are soldiers, these high-ranking officers should not be too rich.

"In order to expand their own strength, who is not the guy who buys us by smashing pots and selling iron. You go out and inquire, I don't know how many generals are selling things at home tonight. ”

"What Ao Ye said is really right, I heard that some even have their wives' jewelry. Just to buy an extra firecracker! The big boss, the fire gun is so easy to sell, why not sell more. "The fifth master has been in Shanhaiguan for a long time, and the head and the ground can no longer be cooked. With him here, there are many things that you don't need to inquire about to know the latest situation.

"That's all for the output of firearms, and we will also recruit troops after the New Year. Naturally, we have to equip our soldiers first! Shanhaiguan has these 500 firearms, and I believe that the Tartars will not be able to please them when they come. At least it's okay to hold on! With their main force to contain the Tartars, we will have to relax for a few days. Otherwise, the Tartars are thinking about us all day long. I'm tired and tired! ”

"I said, Brother Xiao, such a fire is falling outside. You are not afraid ...... in the future! In case something falls into the hands of the Tartars, the Tartars will be copied by the masters. We're going to suffer! "Ao Canghai's worries are very forward-looking, it seems that this guy has made progress and knows how to use his brain to have a sense of worry.

"Afraid! I'm scared to death! The process of firecrackers is actually not complicated, as long as it is imitated, it can be imitated. But how can they imitate our gunpowder? Replace it with gunpowder? When the gunpowder is burned, it's all dregs. The chamber of the gun is eager to be wiped with a shot!

A great man once said that science and technology are the primary productive forces. Even if they make a firebolt, they won't be able to make our propellant. Besides, how far can a musket hit? Although our muskets are powerful, it is difficult to hit the target at a distance of two hundred paces.

If you want to destroy the enemy in large numbers on the battlefield, you have to use artillery. As soon as that thing explodes a large area, and the Tartars dare to charge intensively with cavalry, it is to seek death. "Li Xiao is very confident in mortars, which have been good companions for infantry since their birth. It is known for its simplicity, reliability and portability.

The cavalry charge relied heavily on dense formations, and if the formation was loose, it would definitely be a target for the firearms.

"Also, the things you kid has made up are more powerful than the other. I wonder how you got this brain. What kind of sin did Nurhachi do in his previous life, so that he can meet you in this life. Ao Canghai took a sip of wine and lay back on the chair.

"Hey, hey! He created evil and made it big, and waited for Lao Tzu to develop. His mother's revenge is revenge, and there is revenge. Tartars with blood sticky on their hands, don't even think about running. ”

"With the sale of these firearms, we should have plenty of money. But according to what you say, two thousand more troops. A person has five taels of silver a month, and the squad and platoon company commander has to double it. The cost of a moonlight military salary is more than 20,000 taels, not to mention that there are 2,000 more people on the island, and it is consumed by people eating and chewing. We're going to buy a lot of coal from North Korea, as well as the ore you mentioned.

Man Ye still has to take people to Changxing Island, and you have to build a house for them on the island. This is another expense, although 150,000 taels of silver is a lot, but after such an expense, it will not last for a few months. Ai Husheng took the account book and babbled to report to Li Xiao.

When the cannon sounded, the gold ten thousand taels, the damn cannon didn't go off, and the silver was like a flower like flowing water. Li Xiao knew that Ai Husheng's account was correct. Seeing that there are 150,000 taels of silver in the account, but if you really want to raise the army, the money really won't take long.

"That's your business, this time we brought the good things to Jingshi, just see if you can sell them at a good price. We can't get the pit of the common people, and when we meet those dignitaries, we can start the pit with death. Just let Lao Tzu help them laugh at the stolen money, I'm afraid that none of the officials in these years are clean. ”

Hearing Li Xiao say that none of the officials were clean, Mao Wenlong shook his head and smiled bitterly. Lao Tzu is now a village teacher, and he only has a few dozen taels of silver a month. If you want to talk about the officials of the Ming Dynasty, although you dare not say that you are the cleanest, you must be one of the cleanest officials.
