Chapter 92

Three thousand steps is one and a half kilometers from the next generation, and the old man was still frightened by the last shot. I didn't dare to carry out destructive experiments, but this range was enough to dominate the battlefield of this era.

The Franc cannon claimed to be able to hit five miles away, but in fact, it really had to hit five miles away. Where the shells flew, no one had a score in their hearts.

I just stayed for half a day, and I haven't talked about it clearly with the fisherman Inatomi Youzhi. Ao Canghai rushed back, and as soon as he landed on the shore, he shouted at Li Xiao: "What's the matter? The soldiers have only been training for a month, so why do you call me back. ”

"Not for the time being, I may kill Huang Taiji. Now I'm going to go to the Wa Kingdom to fight a battle and help Maori Teruyuan stabilize his position. Let the Nine Ghosts Jialong spit out that gold!

This year, even the craftsmen have been increased and thousands of soldiers have been summoned, and the money is like flowing water. It's hard to get it just by relying on Ai Husheng, and I'm afraid I won't be able to greet me if I don't find some quick money. ”

"I'm rubbing! Go to the war in the Japanese country, and I will go with you with my soldiers. Hearing that there was going to be a war, Ao Canghai's eyes immediately lit up with excitement.

"Don't go, I'll take these eight hundred veterans with me. In addition, I will take the second child with me, and you will train new recruits on Phi Island while guarding our family business. Phi Island is our roots, a weapons factory, a gunpowder factory, a glass factory, a soap factory...... It's all on the island.

And our relatives are also on the island, this place can't be lost! ”

"Then I'll go, let the second child train the recruits. It's not interesting to train soldiers, it's still fun to fight. Lao Man's boat will arrive tomorrow morning, are you waiting for him. This kid now has 500 elite cavalry under his command, and I don't know what path this kid has taken.

took a lot of money from Ai Husheng's kid and asked the bastard of the fifth child to get more than a thousand high-grade war horses. I heard that I got it from Geritu! ”

"Then wait a minute, Master Man!" Of course, Li Xiao knew what path Man Gui had taken, and he didn't approve the note. Ai Husheng would never give Man Gui so much money, and this thousand war horses must have almost caused disaster to that boatload of glass.

Thinking about Ai Husheng's letter, Li Xiao's head hurts. Glass can't be put into the capital in large quantities, otherwise this thing will be worthless if there is more. Ai Husheng suggested that more small pieces of glass should be used to make mirrors.

There are many dignitaries and nobles in the capital, and there are many ladies. The need for glass mirrors is naturally very high, and Ai Husheng has already hit the idea on those young ladies.

Money! In the end, it's still a money word!

It costs money to raise soldiers, and it also costs money to train soldiers. It still takes money to make weapons and feed those craftsmen. If you don't know the price of firewood and rice, it is absolutely impossible to expect the imperial court to allocate funds. With those people in the court, whether it is with Wei Zhongxian or with Ye Xianggao. Everything can be discussed, but money cannot be discussed.

Talking about money hurts feelings!

If it weren't for the lack of finances, Li Xiao wouldn't have stared at the gold that Nine Ghost Jialong had taken away. In fact, Li Xiao was going to get those gold by himself, but there were too many Tartar garrisons there. It's a little hard to get started! Otherwise, Li Xiao would have already done it himself.

"Master Ao, you still train on the island, the second child is also old and needs to be trained. This time, we are all veterans, and it shouldn't be a problem to fight. Besides, the fisherman recently got two cannons. With this thing to help, I don't believe that I can't get the soldiers of the Japanese Invaders. ”

"Also, the second child is a good billet, and he has to beat it well. But let me tell you, you have to take care of the matter of Huzi and your second child. Things at home can be big or small, you can't get it right when you are the eldest brother, and it's still you who is the worst. Ao Canghai approached Li Xiao and looked at Li Xiu in the distance and said.

Li Xiao looked helplessly in the distance, Li Xiu and Li Hu were busy working. But no one cares about anyone, and I feel a headache when I see this kind of scene.

"Take your time! What do you say about this? Li Xiao pinched his forehead, and there was nothing he could do.

"Then I can't handle your family's affairs." As soon as Ao Canghai heard that Li Xiao was looking for him for advice, he immediately hid away.

It's too late to hide. Who would dare to move forward!

The old slippery head ran home, and he didn't forget to drag Sister Qiao halfway.

"Big brother! Are you going to war again? Xiao Yu stared at Li Xiao with big eyes and blinked. Two small hands tugged at the corners of Li Xiao's clothes, for fear that Li Xiao would run away.

The Li family is eating a little weird now, and Li Hao is separated by Li Xiu and Li Hu. Yanrong and Xiaohong set up the dishes and chopsticks next to them, standing next to them like servants. There are Li family brothers and sisters sitting at the table, although this is the treatment of your concubine. But the Li family is still extremely uncomfortable!

As the first family in Phi Dao, Li Xiao has never used servants. The Li family's housework is all done by their own family, and when they are not there. Xiaoyu and Xiaohao live in Sister Qiao's house many times!

Now suddenly there are two more big people eating, and they are still standing on the side and can't serve the table, so they can only watch. Li Xiao can only pretend not to see, otherwise as long as he speaks. Li Xiu and Li Hu are going to protect one! A reunion dinner that was finally eaten will break up unhappily.

"Xiaoyu! Brother......! "No matter what troubles you have, see Xiaoyu's big watery eyes. All your worries are gone!

"Brother! Why do you always have to fight! Xiaoyu saw that Li Xiao didn't speak, so she simply walked down and climbed on Li Xiao's lap and sat down.

"My brother doesn't want to fight, but if you don't fight others, others will beat you. In order for our little jade not to be harmed, my brother will smash all the bastards to pieces. ”

"Big brother, I'll go to war with you too, okay?" Li Hao, who was trying to pick up rice, had rice grains on his face.

"Good! When Haozi grows up, the third brother will take you to war. As soon as the cannonball explodes, the person will be swept up by the air wave. The arms and legs were cut open by shrapnel, and sometimes the thighs hung from the trees, and the intestines were ....... ”

"Get out of the way for me, eat!" Li Xiao glared at Li Hu dissatisfied. This is a rammer, and when you eat, you have to say something about your thighs and intestines. There's a fat sausage on the fucking table!

Li Xiu, who had just put down the chopsticks, picked up the chopsticks again when he saw Li Xiao talking.

Li Hu's head shrank and he didn't dare to speak again.

"Xiao Hao is still young, study hard. In the future, our family will also have a champion! Li Xiu sandwiched a piece of pork ribs into Li Hao's bowl.

"What kind of champion is it, I see fewer champions in the capital. All of them have eyes on the top of their brains, looking down on this and looking down on that. Let them go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, I am afraid that they will pee when they hear the sound of gunfire. Xiao Hao, eat more. It's better to follow the third brother to fight! Li Hu grabbed a big chicken leg and threw it directly into Li Hao's bowl.

"Less noisy! Can't stop your mouth when you eat? Dine! ”

Li Xiao roared, and immediately no one spoke again. A meal is stunned to eat the feeling of ghosts, and no one has an appetite for a table of dishes.

"Eat!"

"Shut up, stinky bird!" Li Xiao began to yell at the beam.

"Shut up! Idiot! ”

"I'm ......!" Li Xiao once again warned himself that he could not be as knowledgeable as a flat-haired beast.

Li Xiu's face is no longer monolithic, Li Hu wants to laugh but doesn't dare, he looks like he has a bad stool. Li Hao risked his head to eat, but shrugged his shoulders, showing that he endured very hard.

Xiaoyu made a "shhhh

As soon as it was dawn the next day, Mangui's ship arrived. Man Gui walked towards the rising sun and stood calmly in front of Li Xiao with a sour smell.

Li Xiao inadvertently took a step back, avoiding these guys who were obviously seasick and dizzy.

It's okay for these old people to get used to sitting on a boat, but his Mongolian brothers. I haven't seen many sea ships in my life, let alone taken a sea boat. As you can imagine, there must have been a fermented smell inside the cabin.

"Can you survive it!" Li Xiao looked worriedly at the guys who staggered off the boat.

"If you're dizzy, you're not dizzy, that's how it all comes. I heard Lao Ao say that he wants to fight with the Japanese Kou? "When I heard that I was fighting with the Japanese Kou, Man Gui was excited. When I was in Liaoyang, I listened to Qi Jin, Zhou Dunji, and Ao Canghai talk about fighting Japanese in North Korea back then.

At that time, Man Gui was very envious, and now he has the opportunity to fight with these guys, where can he bear it.

"Yes! Transferring Ao Ye back is to let him guard the island while training. Our veterans have to come with me, and this time we're fighting on the native soil of the Wakos. This battle is not very easy to fight! ”

"Afraid of a bird! Those would-be robbers were not yet three inches tall, and Lao Tzu could kill them with a single charge. Man Gui shouted indifferently.

"If that's the case, Master Man, don't go. The arquebuses are so powerful that you're going to die ugly if you think so. ”

"Don't play around the bush, aren't you afraid that I won't listen to the command? Don't worry, when you arrive in the Wa Kingdom, you will definitely listen to your command. You let us face east, we definitely don't face west. When you let you charge, then when you charge. How? ”

"That's what you want!"

Several people laughed and watched as the bronze cannon was hoisted onto the ship. Li Xiao and Man Gui boarded the boat together, and Man Gui standing on the pier had hot eyes.

This time, Li Xiao's naval army was almost dispatched, and the only warship was commanded by Li Xiu. It was equipped with a bronze cannon, and the rest of the ship was equipped with trebuchets. After the modification presided over by Li Xiu, the most primitive shells were made like hedgehogs.

As soon as it is hit by such a shell, the shell hangs on the hull. Once the powder twist is finished, it explodes next to the side of the ship. After practical tests, the effect on the destruction of warships was quite good.

In fact, there were more than 800 infantry under Li Xiao, who were organized into three battalions and nine companies. Counting Li Xiao's guard company, it is exactly ten companies.

After the Chinese New Year, the infantry company was expanded. Two ten-burst machine guns were added to each company, which further increased the firepower of the infantry company.

In addition, Li Xiao also had three mortar companies and six trebuchet companies under his command.

These were Li Xiao's heavy firearms, and there were more than 1,500 infantry and artillery. Don't look at the small number of people, but these people can form a network of three firepower in the distance, middle and near. If you want to break through these three firepower nets, the difficulty is not ordinary. Unless there is a more ferocious artillery on the opposite side, according to the artillery style of the year.

Only the Portuguese Franc cannon had this effect, but it was too bulky to carry. In addition, although the range of that thing is long, it is a matter of more than two miles.

Whether you can hit or not, one is to look at the character, and the other is to look at luck. Three......! See if you're related to that shell. As soon as the shell is discharged, it can be called the hit rate of the Buddha system.

Moreover, this thing still fires solid shells, and even if it hits, it is difficult to achieve a large-area killing effect. Unlike the shells under Li Xiao's men, they are basically fragments.

The armor made of bamboo of the Japanese soldiers could not withstand the attack of such fragments.

When the mighty fleet arrived at Nagato Port, Mori Terumoto was so excited that he almost shed tears. As early as the defeat in the Battle of Sekigahara, Mori Terumoto was clear. The Mori family of the Yamaguchi clan was wiped out by Tokugawa Ieyasu, and that was a matter of time.

Now that Tokugawa Ieyasu has stabilized the Wa Kingdom, the power has reached the point where it is indispensable. Your own demise is inevitable!

The alliance with Li Xiao is actually a person on the verge of drowning, and he will catch whatever he encounters. I didn't expect such a straw to be grabbed by accident, and I actually came with soldiers. Although there are not many soldiers, it is said that Li Xiao's soldiers are very capable of fighting.

Anyway, at this time, it's good to have one more person.

The welcome ceremony on the pier was a warm one, and Mori Terumoto carved out a large area of land outside Hagi Castle for Li Xiao's army to station.

Watching Li Xiao's army disembark in a neat line, Maori Huiyuan's eyes lit up. He was even more amazed to see the strange-looking trebuchet being hoisted off the ship. This thing is too primitive, and there is not much left of the original to the Wa Kingdom.

After the rapid development of firearms, two artillery pieces will be gathered to strengthen the faΓ§ade during the siege of the city no matter what.

However, when Li Xiao's bronze cannon was hoisted off the ship, Maori Teruyuan was finally shocked. The elongated barrel glowed golden in the sunlight, like an artifact.

"Your cannon seems to be bigger than the Franc!" Maori Terugen asked in surprise.

"Oh, this cannon is freshly cast. Although it is larger than the Franc machine, it is a little lighter than the Franc machine. You see, six soldiers can easily push it away. However, for quick maneuvering on the battlefield. You'll still have to provide us with two cows to pull the crackers! ”

"No problem! No problem! ……! "Maori Huiyuan said three times in a row, no problem, people come all the way to help him fight. The matter of two cows is really not worth mentioning.

"All the expenses of your army in Nagato are the responsibility of my Maori family. The Chief Officer, don't worry! The Maori family is grateful for you coming back to help us. Maori Huiyuan rarely bowed to Li Xiao.

As one of the five Yankees, Mori Terumoto has not bowed to anyone for many years.

"Then thank you to the lord of the Mori domain, I don't know what is going on with the Tokugawa shogun?"

ps: Thank you for the reward from the book friend Huihui! Your encouragement is the biggest motivation of Lao Long, thank you! Thank!
