Chapter 168

Juehua Island is a small island not far from Jinzhou, the island is not big but the location is very important.

Li Xiao sat on the low couch and looked at the rolling waves in front of him. Raise your eyelids and you can see the coastline in the distance, and there is Ningyuan City. Another fortress after Jinzhou, the location of Juehua Island is too good.

The so-called Guanningjin defense line is actually a general term for a series of fortress groups.

Guan is Shanhaiguan, Jin is Jinzhou City, and Ning is Ningyuan City. In later generations, this place will be under the jurisdiction of a place called Huludao, why Huludao is called Huludao Li Xiao does not know. It is only known that this line of defense was not gnawed through by Nurhachi and his descendants until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

These bunker groups not only have Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, Ningyuan, but also a series of fortresses such as the middle front and the middle and back stations. In short, if you want to overcome this line of defense, it is quite difficult.

Juehua Island is such a place, and the three most critical points of this defense line can be easily replenished on Juehua Island. Shanhaiguan, Jinzhou, and Ningyuan.

Li Xiao specially hoarded supplies and grain and grass here, and the warehouses on the island were stuffed. It is simply stacked in the open air, where there are stacks of grain as high as a mountain, and a storehouse of materials.

The five-masted ship was docked in the sea not far away, and the draft of the harbor here was somewhat shallow. This may be the only bad thing about Juehua Island!

The sea breeze was already very cool in November, and Li Xiao stood on the pier not because of hysteria, but because a guest was coming. It's an old friend, and I'm a little embarrassed not to pick it up.

A small boat appeared in Li Xiao's line of sight, and it was actually very dangerous to approach Juehua Island like this. This is already a military restricted area, and both official and civilian ships are not allowed to approach easily. Now I don't know how many muzzles and muzzles were aimed at this poor little sampan.

"Big brother, someone is coming." Li Hu didn't understand, just a messenger of Houjin. Because Boss Mao wants to go to the dock to greet him in person, can it be said that this guy's identity is very noble. Can you be nobler than the eldest brother?

"It's fucking cold, it's fucking cold." Li Xiao rubbed his hands, and his face was almost wooden with the sea breeze blowing for a while. In winter, the seaside is really not a place for people.

The boat came to the shore and two well-dressed men got out of the boat. These two guys have pigtails on the back of their heads, and their bear-like stature has super deterrent power when they fight there.

Roast Chicken instinctively touched his hand to the dagger, and these two people gave him the feeling of being very dangerous. The elbows behind them are even more tense like leopards, ready to pounce and bite their prey at any time.

The two guys looked at Li Xiao and his party, and finally their eyes fell on the roast chicken brothers. It seems that there are some special communication skills between the beasts.

After two guys came down, one came out of the boat...... Woman!

Li Hu's eyes lit up immediately, and his eyes kept switching between Li Xiao and the woman. Although the weather was cold, the fire of gossip in the chest was burning.

The boss turned out to pick up this woman, no wonder! No wonder!

was kicked in the ass, and this is the end of looking at Li Xiao's strange eyes. Anyway, now I'm wearing cotton pants, and it doesn't hurt to kick it. Li Hu rubbed his ass and followed closely by the boss's side.

"Miss Green Bead, meet again. I don't know how many things you brought this time. What I have in my hand is red goods, and I can't do it without silver. "When I saw the green bead Li Xiao, I was happy in my heart, and it was another good opportunity to extort. The last time the matter of Jue Luo Baishan was talked about by this girl, this time the matter of Huang Taiji, Lao Tzu had to slaughter Houjin fiercely.

"Lord Li's kidnapping and blackmailing skills are really good, I don't know how you want to open your mouth this time. Don't talk about the letter you gave to the Great Khan, no one will agree to that price. ”

"I'm actually pretty good at other things!" I don't know how my brain twitched, Li Xiao came to say this.

Li Hu beside him is very proud, and the realm of the boss flirting with his sister is high. If you don't have a vegetarian meal, you can directly serve meat dishes. To say that this little girl with green beads, with big breasts, thin waist, round buttocks, and a winter dress that doesn't cover up her good figure. It's rare that the face is so beautiful, it's really the best among women. It's a pity that it's a Jurchen, which is a bit bad.

As soon as the words came out, Li Xiao regretted it, this kind of occasion seems not suitable for hooliganism. But I don't know what's wrong, so I threw such a sentence out of my mouth.

"Phew......!" Lu Zhu's face turned red, and he took a bite of Li Xiao and left with his head held high. The two bears behind him hurried to follow!

Li Xiao touched his nose in embarrassment, fortunately, there were only Li Hu and the roast chicken brothers around. The bad reputation seems to be manageable!

glanced back at Li Hu, who looked like a good brother with a shy chest and belly.

Kick it again!

Along the way, Green Bead's eyes were gurgling. A storehouse of ordnance, a tun of grain. There was so much grain that it couldn't fit in the tunzi, so it was packed in sacks and piled up as high as a mountain in the open air.

"Lord Li is really careless, you saw the green beads in such an important hoarding place in the Ming army, so you are not afraid that the green beads will leak the secrets here?" Lu Zhu looked at Li Xiao and said jokingly.

"Huh! The water here is very shallow, and you can't get on a boat that is too big. As far as those ships of your Houjin come over, they are looking for death. It's not that I'm boasting, when it comes to water wars, it's not enough for you to see the gold. Li Xiao replied proudly.

"That's right, our Houjin raised troops in the white mountains and black waters. They are all men with some Jin Ge Iron Horses, and they are indeed not familiar with water warfare. Otherwise, with Master Li's ability, how could he catch Babel. Lu Zhu gave Li Xiao a big roll of his eyes disdainfully, and continued to roam in the most important logistics hoarding place of the Ming army.

Li Xiao didn't care, but introduced it confidently.

"The grain in these tuns is all wheat, and it needs to be ground before it can be eaten. The rice in the open fields is distributed to Jinzhou and Ningyuan before the first snowfall. Let me tell you a secret first, if you try to besiege Jinzhou, then you must be prepared to be dragged down. ”

"You mean there's a lot of grain stored in Jinzhou?"

"Of course, it is not a problem for Jinzhou's grain stocks to be eaten for a year and a half. Therefore, dispel the idea of besieging the city as soon as possible. ”

"You're going to tell me about this kind of confidential matter?"

"Tell you because I don't want to fight, you stay in Liaodong honestly. What about me? Guard my Jinzhou City well, and the well water will not interfere with the river water. If you don't come to our territory to make trouble, I won't trouble you. Everyone is harmonious, what Lao Tzu wants to do most is to make a fortune, and Lao Tzu is actually not interested in this kind of thing. ”

Li Xiao behaved very sincerely, and Lu Zhu stared at Li Xiao's face carefully, as if he wanted to see flowers on Li Xiao's face.

"I hope you're right, take me to Babel." Green Bead looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything.

However, for Li Xiao's words, Lu Zhu did not dare to agree, at least he couldn't do the well water and not the river water.

Your Ming army is short of food and money, you can transfer grain from the customs to Liaodong, no matter what, the Ming army will not go hungry. But this year, the Liao River was flooded, and many Qiding's families were affected. Not only has food production been reduced, but even livestock have died. The Jurchens had no way to go to the customs to transfer food, so they could only go to the customs to grab food.

Li Xiao walked into a courtyard with green beads, and there were actually two hoards of grain in the yard. This Juehua Island was really stuffed with food, and followed Li Xiao into the main house. There was a man sitting on the kang, holding a book and reading.

"The minion Green Bead has seen Babel!" Seeing Huang Taiji, Lu Zhu and two bears saluted together.

"After so many days, I finally saw a full man, is the Great Khan okay?" Huang Taiji didn't let the green beads get up, and smiled at Li Xiao and nodded.

"Back to Babel, the Great Khan is in good health. The Great Khan's minion came to negotiate with Li Xiao and take you back to Shenyang as soon as possible. ”

"Oh!"

"Your master and servant will talk first, and it will not be convenient for me to be here." To Luzhu's surprise, Li Xiao actually took the lead in leaving. didn't even leave a watchman, so he let Huang Taiji and Lu Zhu speak without reservation.

"Babel, this ......!" If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and Lu Zhu looked at Huang Taiji with some hesitation.

"He is too confident in this Juehua Island, surrounded by the sea. We can't run without a boat, and I can walk around the yard here. As long as someone is watching, you can also walk around the island.

This island is almost fucking stuffed with food. Behold, the vats in the outer rooms are full of grain. Daming is really rich, let such a child toss.

Let's not talk about that, how about our harvest this year? Is there any trouble in the Liaohe? Is there anything big going on with our white flag? Hauge is still competent? Huang Taiji seemed to be anxious to know the news of Houjin, and asked a series of questions.

"If you go back to Babel, the Liao River will be flooded again this year. All but two blue flags were slaughtered. The disaster with the red flag is the most serious, although the white flag has been affected, but the prince has handled it properly, and now there is no big trouble. ”

"Zhengbai Flag has been affected?" Hearing that his family had suffered a disaster, Huang Taiji obviously couldn't sit still. I looked left and right, and saw that there was indeed no one in the outhouse. Hooked his finger at the green bead.

Luzhu understood and hurriedly came over.

"These days, it seems that the grain on Juehua Island will make it okay for us to spend the whole Houjin winter. You go back and let the Great Khan send troops here. ”

"But this is surrounded by water, we don't have a boat!" Luzhu is also helpless, there is no navy in Houjin's military branch. In that year, several attacks on Phi Dao failed, let alone the attack on Juehua Island, which was surrounded by the Ming army.

"Huh! A wise man must make a mistake, Benbel chats with an old fisherman on an island and learns ......! ”

"Boy, how much do you want to extort this time?" Chen Fu leaned on the kang with a smile, he had just returned to Liaodong from Yizhou, and he was not very accustomed to the cold climate of Liaodong.

"Hey, hey! This time I think it will cost at least tens of thousands of lives. Li Xiao picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and ate it in his mouth, the chef's skills became more and more exquisite, and the hibiscus cake was steamed really authentically.

"You kid, the most wrong thing the Houjin people did was to kill your whole family. If a devil like you is released, tens of thousands of lives can be understated. The rat you sent to Yizhou is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and the wrist is called a ruthless. Those red-haired ghosts were all made obedient by him, the things you ordered to plant. Nikolai and his daughter were planted, and the local natives were restless. You have to be careful! ”

"I have asked Zheng Dangjia to come forward and help make peace. The natives are all in the mountains, they are familiar with everything there, and they have to have a large army to conquer them. But you know, I'm a turnip and a pit here, and not a single soldier can pull it out. Li Xiao smiled helplessly, his hand couldn't be stretched that long now. Fortunately, Zheng Zhilong is the head snake there, and there will always be a way to ask him for help.

"A native is a native person, and if you give a few pieces of cloth to a pot, you will be a friend. They don't want much, and they can do less if they give some benefits. This is also a helpless thing, who let you have fewer soldiers. By the way, you said that you went to Cangzhou to recruit troops. The old man has a few friends there who can help you find some suitable people. ”

Zheng Zhilong is the head snake in Fujian, and the old Chen Fu is the head snake in Shandong. He said that if he can help Li Xiao find a suitable person, he will definitely be able to find a suitable person. The fisherman is the best example of this, although there is no culture. But this old gentleman is now the backbone of Phi Dao's scientific research strength, and he is definitely an indispensable figure.

"Say it again! It's November now, and I'm thinking that the Tartars should be ready to move. According to past experience, the Tartar attacks are often in the first month. Anyway, they are just our Han New Year's Day, and they are idle, and they are also idle, and it is some income to grab a handful. ”

"So you bring that little lady here to meet them, and let them know that there is an untold amount of food and baggage on this Juehua Island."

"I was told before that when you get old, you become a good person. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. You always forget a word, you don't say it thoroughly, it's not a good friend to say it thoroughly. Don't go around talking about it. ”

"Huh! You kid, you were born to eat people. In my opinion, you are a white-fronted tiger in Liaodong. When the tartar comes to your mouth, there is not even a bone residue left. Chen Fu made a summary of Li Xiao, and by the way, he gave Li Xiao a nickname. What Li Xiao didn't expect was that this nickname became louder and louder, and he has been with Li Xiao for a lifetime. Hundreds of years later, the prestige is still great.

"You came back from Yizhou, and you didn't go back to Chen Hailong's side and came to me directly, will Chen Hailong ......!"

"Hey......! To put it in my heart, I still have a heart for the old master. But he can't help it, he does things too much. I, Chen Fu, have been a slave to his Chen family for a lifetime, so my children and grandchildren will not be slaves to their Chen family for a lifetime. For the sake of future generations, it can't be so much.

You don't know, when you go to Phi Island, you see your little grandson and husband learning to read and write. My tears are falling, the Chen family has been counting up for three generations and can't even eat enough, and now they are going to be scholars.

Just for this, if you have a stiff relationship with the Chen family, you will have a stiffness. Fame is a fart, and at my age, it is the greatest blessing for children and grandchildren to have a good future. ”
