Living in the Zheng family's courtyard like a turret, not to mention that it is really safe. Especially after Jiang Chaozong placed seven or eight sentries on top of the turret, and placed mortars in the courtyard.

It's more of a fucking turret!

Zheng Zhilong watched in surprise as Li Xiao's army was arranged, and when he saw someone hanging firewood on the roof. Zheng Zhihu couldn't sit still, as Zheng Zhilong's second brother, he had a much higher status than his cousin Zheng Zhiyuan.

"Big brother! We also recognize the iron tube in the yard, what does it mean to hang firewood on the roof? Burn down the house! Or is it burned from the top down? ”

Zheng Zhilong shook his head, he couldn't figure out why Li Xiao wanted to get firewood on the roof. A large pile of firewood, enough to light a bonfire. However, Zheng Zhilong didn't believe it by burning the house from top to bottom, after all, no one was stupid enough to do this.

"Zhiyuan, what's going on?" Zheng Zhibao asked Zheng Zhiyuan puzzled, he and Li Xiao stayed the longest.

"Uh......!" Zheng Zhiyuan didn't know what was going on.

"I knew that the teacher was trying to establish contact with the ship. If our courtyard is attacked, he will order a bonfire to be lit. The second master Li Xiu on the ship knew that something was going on the shore, and he would enter the alert as soon as possible to avoid suffering. A group of adults of the Zheng family didn't understand, but little Zheng Sen spoke.

Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up, it seemed that this Li Xiao was really expected. He fought a lot, but he didn't expect Li Xiao to use such a method to deliver the message.

Looking at the mortars in the courtyard, I guess those iron barrels that look like cannons but don't look like cannons are also very useful things.

"Sen'er! What is that thing? Zheng Zhilong asked, pointing to the mortar.

"It's called a mortar, and the shells can go over the wall and shoot outside. The explosion was very powerful, and the famous Japanese general Wakisaka Yasuharu was killed by this cannon, and I heard that in the end, there was only an ear left. ”

"Shhhh......h Zheng Zhilong gasped, he was still wondering just now. It is said that this thing is a cannon, but the muzzle of the cannon is facing the sky. Place cannons in the courtyard, and even if you hit the cannonballs, they will hit the middle courtyard wall. Unexpectedly, the shell also turned a corner. You can go over the courtyard wall and hit the outside.

Zheng Zhilong has been in the Wakuni Kingdom for many years, and he has heard of the name of Wakisaka Yasuji. As a fierce general of the Warring States, he was a well-known figure in the Wa Kingdom. Unexpectedly, he also died under this kind of cannon.

"Treat this commander-in-chief and their men well. No one should be rude, Zhihu, Zhibao. You have to warn your subordinates, if anyone offends a distinguished guest, don't blame me for being merciless. Zheng Zhilong is actually warning Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao.

As Zheng Zhilong's own brother, no one in the Zheng family is more domineering than the two of them.

"Got it, big brother!" Seeing that Zheng Zhilong said solemnly, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao hurriedly agreed. They can be arrogant in front of others, but they don't have the capital to be arrogant in front of Zheng Zhilong.

Zheng Zhilong has today, which can be described as a self-made man. Basically, it has nothing to do with the father, Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao dare not listen to the boss.

"Tell my dad about what else your teacher has?" Zheng Zhilong's eyes lit up, since his son's teacher had so many good things. That's good news for him, the two families have a relationship with Zheng Sen. It shouldn't be a problem to get some good things, but you really can't spend some money, and you don't have to worry about getting good things.

"Daddy, look at the muskets in the hands of those soldiers, each of them can hit 800 paces away. However, because the human eye cannot see things too far away, the distance that can be aimed at is about two or three hundred steps. The Wa people still have the armor of the Tartars, and they are no match for the kind of firecrackers at all.

The mortar is a kind of artillery that can shoot into the sky, as I just said. The rate of fire is very fast, much faster than that of a cannon.

There is also the kind of gun with a rotating tube, which can fire ten rounds in a row. Reloading is also very convenient, just remove the old tube and load it with a new one.

Do you see that black thing pinned to the waists of the soldiers? It's called a grenade, and it explodes as soon as you pull the tab and throw it. Shrapnel can shoot through armor, and can be extremely lethal to people on deck when jumping.

The most powerful thing is actually the two bronze cannons on the ship. I once encountered a pirate ship in the East China Sea, and at a distance of several thousand steps, it was blown to pieces with a single shot. Three pirate ships were blown up with four cannons!

There are a lot of powerful things in the master's hands, and there are mines that you have never seen before. I heard that there are also mines in the water called mine ......! ”

Zheng Sen told Zheng Zhilong like a few treasures, and the more Zheng Zhilong listened, the brighter his eyes became. Oh my God! Thousands of paces away, a cannon that can blow up an enemy ship. Looking at Zheng Zhiyuan's expression, Zheng Sen, the kid, didn't lie.

What kind of cannon does that have to be? Zheng Zhilong also has a cannon in his hand, and he is too familiar with the cannons of this year. The cannonball-like shells hit the ship, and as long as they did not hit below the waterline, it was difficult to inflict fatal damage on the ship. I have never heard of the incident of blowing up an enemy ship with a single shot.

"Big brother......!" Zheng Zhihu didn't believe Zheng Sen's words. He couldn't believe that there was such a powerful cannon in this world. When Lao Tzu never fired? He also blasted the enemy ship with a cannon thousands of steps away, frightening people.

Zheng Zhilong stretched out his hand to stop Zheng Zhihu, whether others believed it or not, he believed it.

"A big feast, welcome the chief officer. Zhihu, you go and prepare a generous gift, and I will personally go to send a thank you to the chief military officer. ”

That night, a banquet was held in the courtyard of the Zheng family. Zheng Zhilong was very caring, and sent more than a dozen truckloads of rice, noodles, fish, meat, eggs, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables to Li Xiu on the boat.

Floating on the sea, fish is often eaten. But fruits and vegetables are rare! Even though you walk along the coastline, you often don't get a meal for a few days.

Li Hu held an elbow and ate it with juice. The elbow in the south is small, and the tiger master stopped after eating in one go. In the end, Zheng Zhilong cast a surprised gaze.

"This kid is a carnivore, Mr. Zheng don't laugh." Li Xiao explained to Zheng Zhilong with a smile.

"In the past, there was Fan Hao on the dam, and now there is General Li Hu. Looking at Brother Ling's figure, you know that he must be a tiger general in the future. But I'm not a Hongmen feast, haha! Zheng Zhilong said half of it, there was definitely something wrong, so he simply used it as a joke.

"Mr. Zheng said with a smile, Huzi, come here, and give Mr. Zheng a drink." Li Xiao beckoned to Li Hu, and Li Hu immediately put down his elbows and ran over.

"Thank you Mr. Zheng for your hospitality, do it first as a respect." Li Xiao drained a bowl of wine in one gulp, and just happened to be thirsty. Li Xiao's summoning was simply a heavenly voice to him.

"Good man! Dry! Zheng Zhilong also picked up the wine bowl and drank the wine in the bowl in one gulp.

"Good!" Seeing the two people bold, the following immediately thundered with joy.

"Go and salute Second Master Zheng, Third Master Zheng!" Li Xiao knew that Li Hu was good at wine, so he simply served it to Zheng Zhihu and Zheng Zhibao's table.

"Good!"

Came to Zheng Zhihu with a wine jar, and was just about to pour wine, Zheng Zhihu smiled and said: "Our rule here, toast must be drunk three bowls to count." ”

Li Hu was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted. Zheng Zhihu is holding back his bad and wants to pour himself too much. The old Zheng family plus cousins, a total of six brothers, are here, and they are honored one by one. It takes eighteen bowls, and although the rice wine in the south drinks like water, it's also fucking wine.

Although he has a straight personality, Li Hu doesn't do anything that suffers.

"No problem, but you'll have to try our Phi Island wine. Zheng Erye just said that he has tasted the world's fine wine, but you haven't tasted the wine of our Phi Island. ”

"Uh......!" Zheng Zhihu didn't expect Li Xiao to say this, but thinking about three bowls against one bowl, he shouldn't suffer a loss. No matter how strong the wine is, it can't be better than one bowl or three bowls.

Hearing Li Hu say this, Li Xiao knew that Li Hu was bad. But he didn't go over to stop it, why should his brother suffer.

"Good!" Zheng Zhihu agreed. Today, I heard that the eldest brother wanted him and the third child not to have trouble, Zheng Zhihu was unhappy. Now take advantage of the toast to give these guys a kick.

"Bring the wine!" Li Hu shouted, and Shunzi ran over with a huge wine gourd. After the prostitution incident in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, this kid became Li Hu's dog.

Seeing the wine gourd, Li Xiao knew that Zheng Zhihu was going to be unlucky.

"This is the wine of our Phi Island, and it is the most violent. Zheng Erye should be careful when drinking! Ai Husheng saw the change in the gourd's face, and hurriedly reminded Zheng Zhihu.

"Second Master Zheng is a good man who runs ships on the sea, and he likes spirits the most. Second master, how's that? Li Hu glanced at Ai Husheng, and Ai Husheng could only stop making a sound.

"Good! Taste your wine. Zheng Zhihu was squeezed by Li Hu, and now he can't say that he won't drink.

The wine gourd is opened, and the clear wine is poured into the wine bowl, and the aroma of wine is immediately overflowing. This is the first pot of wine brewed in the Phi Dao Distillery, even if it is drunk by a drunkard like Mangui Ao Canghai, it has to be mixed with some new wine.

This kind of thing, which is second only to alcohol, Li Hu usually doesn't dare to try it. This gourd is what Man Gui forgot about Li Hu.

The alcohol content is high, but the aroma of the wine is overflowing. Poured into the wine bowl, the aroma of the wine is straight to the nose. Even Zheng Zhibao at the table next to him sniffled!

People floating on the sea also like to drink two sips when they have nothing to do, one is to understand the loneliness on the sea, and the other is to invigorate the blood and remove moisture. In this regard, they are similar to the grassland men.

Seeing this kind of fine wine, even if he told Zheng Zhihu, who was good at wine, that it was poison, he wanted to taste the saltiness.

"Huh! My name is Zheng Zhihu, and my little brother is called Li Hu. We are born to fate, and I will drink these three bowls with you. "There is not much difference between a drunkard seeing spirits and a pervert seeing a beautiful woman.

Ai Husheng cast a sympathetic look at Zheng Zhihu, and after three bowls, he hoped that this Second Master Zheng could still stand here.

"Good! Dry! Li Hu just couldn't ask for it, and Zheng Zhihu touched the wine in his hand and drank it all.

The unique flat-bottomed bowl of Fujian and Zhejiang, don't look at the bowl is not big, but it can be loaded with three or four taels of wine. This thing drank three bowls of something similar to the end in a row, and Li Xiao also wanted to know Zheng Zhihu's follow-up reaction.

Sure enough, after Zheng Zhihu drained a bowl. The mouth immediately choked, and a line of fire ran down the tongue to the stomach, and from the stomach to the top of the brain. Under the firelight, Zheng Zhihu's face was redder than the steamed shrimp on the table.

"Ah......h is worthy of being a master of the wine forest, and he spit out a long breath of wine. Zheng Zhihu felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling, "Good wine!" ”

"!" Li Hu picked up another bowl, and Zheng Zhihu drained the second bowl of wine in one gulp. This time, the whole body is not boiling. Zheng Zhihu felt that the skin on his body was burning, and the exposed parts were as red as a monkey's buttocks.

"Good wine!" Even so, Zheng Zhihu still praised the good wine.

"!" Seeing Zheng Zhihu so bold, Li Hu picked up the wine glass and made another bowl.

"Good wine!" Zheng Zhihu praised the good wine three times in a row.

"I said, brother, your wine is indeed a good wine. In the future, our brothers will be brothers, and in this southeast wharf, if there is something to do, tell the old brother, and everything that can be done will be done for you. After three bowls of wine, Zheng Zhihu's tongue immediately became bigger.

"It's easy to say, Zheng Er ......!" Before Li Hu could say the last word, Zheng Zhihu fell backwards on his back, squirting vomit like a whale in his mouth.

"Huh! The second one drank too much, come. I'll accompany you for three bowls! The Zheng family loses but does not lose, Zheng Zhihu fell, and Zheng Zhibao picked up the wine bowl again.

Li Hu's stomach is also turning over now, although the rice wine is not very violent. But it's also intoxicating to drink too much, and it's not good to eat three bowls.

However, Zheng Zhibao invited to stand, and Li Hu's temperament certainly would not admit it.

"Zheng Sanye, do it!" picked up the wine bowl and touched Zheng Zhibao, and the two drank three bowls of wine in a row. They all shut their mouths and didn't speak, and then they hugged each other's fists. When I opened my mouth to speak, the vomit sprayed out as I spoke.

"Hahaha! The wine on this Phi Island is really strong, give me a drink. Zheng Zhilong laughed and beckoned to Junzi. The awkward atmosphere on the scene disappeared, and the sound of toasting and drinking rose higher and higher.

"Zheng Da is in charge, do it!" Li Xiao also poured a glass of Pidaotou pot wine and drank it with Zheng Zhilong.

When I got up the next morning, it was almost noon, and Tokugawa Chihime knelt beside Li Xiao. Little by little, his head dozed off, and it seemed that he had been waiting for him until this time last night.

There was incense in the room, but Li Xiao could still smell the smell of wine. It seems that I vomited a lot yesterday, and my head was a little dizzy. But it didn't hurt particularly much, and it looked like the amount of alcohol was on the rise during this time. In the past, after drinking fragments by himself, the next day it was called a desire to die.

Except for a little dizziness, there doesn't seem to be any particular discomfort today. I don't know if this is a good phenomenon or a bad phenomenon.

The action of getting up alarmed Tokugawa Chihime. Tokugawa Chihime immediately brought a bowl of water from the tray and handed it to Li Xiao's mouth with a spoon.

Li Xiao let go of the spoon and took the bowl and drained it in one gulp. Drinking liquor is most likely to be thirsty at night. Now my throat is even more dry.

There was a hint of sweetness in the mouth, which turned out to be honey water. No wonder my head didn't hurt when I woke up this morning, I must have fed myself honey water all night.
