This is obviously five brothers, one eldest brother with several younger brothers. It looks like they're stepping on their shoulders and pressing one by one.

My brother had a lot of wounds on his face, on his arms, and on his body. The youngest brother was not injured at all! This is a responsible older brother who takes care of his younger brother but fails to take care of himself.

"What's it called?" Li Xiao looked at it for a while before asking.

"Roast chicken!"

"Roast chicken?" Li Xiao turned around eight times in his head, and he didn't remember that there were hundreds of surnames burned.

"I like roast chicken!"

"If you like to eat roast chicken, you call it roast chicken. So what's his name! Li Xiao pointed to the smaller roast chicken and asked curiously.

"Trotters!"

"Pig ......! Then he must be called pig's head meat! Li Xiao pointed to another small one and said.

"No, he's called Elbow." The pig's head had the courage to refute Li Xiao.

Li Xiao finally figured out that these goods are called whatever they want to eat.

But Li Xiao really likes their persistence, and many times persistence is the best virtue. After hardships, unswerving determination is called faith.

It is clear that the faith of these brothers is to have their stomachs full.

"You give us food, and we'll help you kill people." Roast Chicken said very imposingly, completely ignoring his firewood-like arms.

"Murderous ......! He seems to be better than you! Li Xiao pointed to Ao Canghai. The sturdy Ao Ye is full of food and stretches his legs on the dock!

"I can kill him!" Pig's trotters looked at Ao Ye's back and was very confident.

Elbow immediately combed the two little loose hair into a bun, and the two dirty little beggars immediately turned into two dirty female dolls.

The three little frolickers ran to Ao Canghai's side, and Ao Ye took a look and saw that it was a few children. Laughed, there are a lot of such children on the docks. Wherever she goes, little girls are synonymous with harmlessness and even cuteness.

Just when Ao Ye turned his head defenselessly, the shiny dagger had already pierced his waist and eyes.

Roast chicken and pig's trotters pulled out two shakuhachi-long daggers and rushed towards Ao Ye like mad dogs. Everything was between the lightning and flint, and it wasn't until the two of them rushed out that Li Xiao reacted.

"Ao Ye be careful!"

"What!" Ao Canghai turned his head when he heard Li Xiao's voice, and the two daggers had already cut through his shirt. I saw two hungry wolf-like boys pounce on me.

In the end, it is Ao Ye, and he does not wait or rely on the critical moment. Jumped into the sea as soon as you jumped into the sea!

Several children were a little confused, and there was no such clause in their plan. Looking at Ao Ye who fell into the water, the two boys wanted to jump down. As a result, he was kicked out one by one by the guards who walked together!

The people next to him rushed up and held down a few boys and tied them up with ropes.

"Holy! , you're crazy, let a few cubs come and kill me. Ao Ye climbed ashore in embarrassment and spat out a mouthful of salty seawater.

"How do I know! They said that if they gave them food, they would help me kill people, and I said that you are better at killing people. Who knows......! ”

"Get out of here! Let them go to Man Gui and find Lao Tzu. Ao Ye was so aggrieved that he was so angry that he scolded.

"Good! Good! Good! "The person who was almost slaughtered is unreasonable, and Li Xiao swears that this is really a misunderstanding that is not very beautiful.

"Get them on board and give them something to eat. Be careful, these little guys are ruthless. Li Xiao was apprehensive about what happened to Ao Canghai.

had to leave, and someone saw Li Xiao taking in those children. Gather around the dock again, and hurry away if you don't sail. At the gate of the dock, it is estimated that someone will have to kneel and die here this time.

After leaving this trip, Li Xiao vowed to stay for a while longer. It's really tiring, and after dealing with high-ranking officials and dignitaries, I have to deal with these poor guys.

When Li Xiao's warship left, everyone's eyes showed a look of pain. Many people are looking forward to the expensive pensions that will be selected to serve as soldiers and die on the battlefield. It can completely change the life of the family, if people are really poor and afraid, their lives will not be worth much.

Many people go to be soldiers, but they don't intend to live, they just want to die. More than 100 catties are sold at a good price, and everyone wants to have such treatment.

The reality is cruel, Li Xiao wants the army, not the death squad.

The two ships quickly left the waters of Penglai and sailed along the route to Changxing Island. Li Xiao has decided that the training of recruits will be carried out on Changxing Island. After all, Changxing Island is too big, and the huge island is not enough to deal with the attack of the Tartars by relying on the garrison of a few thousand people in Mangui alone.

Besides, Man Gui's subordinates don't have any firearms, so they don't have much advantage in holding knives.

Man Gui and his people have been on the island for half time, and there are not so many houses. There were many people living in tents, and there were also shacks that had been hastily piled up. This thing is simple in structure and easy to manufacture. It's hot and humid to live in!

Fortunately, in May, although the weather was warm, there were not many mosquitoes. This is the most pleasant time of the year in Liaodong.

Man Gui's body has not yet recovered, and his face is full of curly beards. In many cases, it is not Han people who can tell from their faces.

The Mongols are actually no different from the Han in appearance, but their hair and beard are different. also has a long beard, and those people in Donglin can write with a little ink. But the Mongols just can't keep it like that, and they always roll it. In the words of later generations, it is the difference between the straightening board and Yu Qian.

"Well, there are no difficulties except for the house." Li Xiao pointed to the construction site in the distance, where the house was being built. Even if it is a reinforced concrete house, it takes a lot of time to build. Especially on this island, laying the foundation is a technical job, and there is no room for any mistakes.

Zhang Mazi stood beside Li Xiao, looking embarrassed. Li Xiao has delivered him enough cement and steel bricks, but he can't build a house now. Looking at the man living in a shack tent, he always felt that his face was a little ashamed.

"It's all miserable, what's the matter. Can you find someone to get some sheep, we Mongolians can not farm, but we can't do without sheep. ”

"My man, look at how many sheep can be herded on this Changxing Island. It's really like a grassland, can there still be grass here? Insist on persevering, Xiao Qiang did a good job in Tuntian in Lushun. I see if it doesn't work, let's go to Jinzhou to graze sheep, and the crops in the field can't be moved. If the Tartars come, the sheep will still be able to be loaded on the ship. ”

"Really? I'll send someone to Jinzhou tomorrow, and I'll do it with the Tartar with real knives and guns, so we won't scare him. ”

"Calm down! Let's settle down on the island first, I said that there is no problem with food. You first pick the capable ones and train the cavalry. The salary is the same as the infantry, I will ask the fifth master to get you some horses. You can't fight without cavalry! ”

"Our Mongolians are the ancestors of horseback riding, and our ancestors can ride horses to the place where the red beard is." mentioned his ancestor Man Gui was very proud, which reminded Li Xiao of another guy, Ge Ritu. Without this guy to send a letter, Man Gui would probably be able to beat the drum now.

It's just that when he returned to the capital, Ge Ritu was no longer in the capital, and Li Xiao was in a hurry and couldn't wait for him.

"Master Man! You send someone to bring some glass to the leader of Gritu and thank him for his help. This favor, we owe a lot of money this time. ”

"Brother Geritu didn't say, you don't say that I want to get something to send him. Not to mention, the glass stuff is just right. In their place, the cows, horses, and sheep are actually worthless, and what is valuable is these glass things. The leaders of the steppes like this thing more than good wine and beautiful women. ”

"That's it! Then you say, let's exchange glass for cattle, horses and sheep, especially war horses, it's not too much! Li Xiao listened to Man Gui's words, and immediately rolled his eyes to make an idea on the grassland. In these years, I want to have a first-class war horse, except for the Tartars, who are Mongolians, and Daming does not produce high-quality war horses.

"You're a real loss!" Others don't know, but Man Gui knows how this glass thing is made. Don't look at that thing crystal clear, but it's actually just a pile of sand.

A large glass bowl is more expensive than a thousand gold in the capital. But in Man Gui's eyes, it is no different from the earthen bowl for eating.

"Don't they like it, it's hard to buy it, and people are willing to do it."

"Alright! All right! You can do whatever you want, for the sake of others who have helped us, you can do it lightly. Man Gui really didn't want to talk to Li Xiao anymore, he was worried about his Mongolian friends. Ai Husheng, that bastard, got Li Xiao's order, and it would be nice if they could have a pair of pants to wear.

At noon, it was rice and small salted fish, and Li Xiao found that there were people eating sorghum rice on the construction site. This is angry, the good rice is enough, how can you still let you eat coarse grains?

"Zhang Mazi, the rice given by Lao Tzu is not enough, or is your old boy corrupt?" Li Xiao took a bowl of sorghum rice and pestled it directly to Zhang Mazi's nose.

"Don't blame Boss Zhang. We just love this bite! Seeing Li Xiao angry, an old man hurriedly stood up.

This guy has gray hair and beard, and he looks like he is not sixty or at least fifty years old. This is a long life. He was wearing a shabby Mongolian-style thin cotton robe, which had not been patched in several places, revealing the little cotton wool inside.

"If you don't eat rice, you eat sorghum rice?" Li Xiao looked at the old guy strangely. Can the taste of rice be the same as that of sorghum rice? What's more, this sorghum rice is still soaked in water.

"Oops! You are a golden nobleman, how do you know the hardships of the countryside. In the countryside, it is a good year to be able to eat sorghum rice in this month. Old man, I have three out of fifty this year, and I can count the years of a full meal in one slap. Rice...... That's a precious thing, we little people don't even think about it.

I'm worried, I'm used to eating here. The babies are mouthful, and it will be difficult to feed without rice in the future. ”

Li Xiao was speechless, this is a group of people who are extremely insecure. At a time when a full meal becomes the greatest pursuit, everything else is a luxury.

Looking at the child holding the old bowl and slashing, his eyes still glance at other people's bowls from time to time. Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, this is the life of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty. If it weren't for themselves, they wouldn't have so much sorghum rice in their bowls. The most likely thing is a bowl of green wild vegetables.

He ate that thing when he was surviving in the wild, and it was very bitter! Very bitter!

"Uncle! If you believe it, I'll eat it, and it's enough! ”
