A hundred and ten big men rushed out of the forest by the side of the road, and one big man was armed with an iron rod. At one end of the iron rod is cast a dragon swallowing stick, which is the token of the official beggar gang leader.

"The surname Ai, take your life!" He has been waiting for this moment for more than ten days, although he can't kill your Liao army, but Lao Tzu can kill the big shopkeeper of your Liao army.

The beggars are numerous, and their ability to inquire about news is unparalleled in the world. In the past two months, I have long inquired about what is going on with the Liao army in the capital. The reason why Ai Husheng was not moved before was because he didn't want to anger the Liao army.

But now at the point where the head is at this point, I don't care if it's irritated or not. Although there is nothing to do about the Liao army, he can still kill the Liao army's big shopkeeper in the capital.

After staring at Ai Husheng for several days, today I finally have a chance to start. Send the dead to blow up the fuck with the gunpowder from the Shenji Battalion, even if you can't blow it up, Lao Tzu can rush up and chop you into meat sauce. Not only can you not let go of the living mouth, but even the corpse cannot be let go.

The head shall be hung on the head of the city, and the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys shall be plucked off and offered to the grave of the dead brother.

"Protect the treasurer!" Without saying a word, the living guard rushed forward with his knife.

Hong Qilong's head stick poked straight into the guard's chest, and the head exploded the guard's head with a smash. The corpse "poofed" and fell to the ground.

One of the guards rushed to the front of the carriage, pulled out of the carriage and pulled out Ai Husheng, whose face was covered in blood, and ran away.

Where is Hong Qi willing to let go of this opportunity and chase after him with his life. Now he regretted why he didn't come on a few horses. I was just entangled by those desperate guards, and I was delayed for a short while. If I chase it again at this time, I have already run out seven or eight feet away.

The strong guards carried Ai Husheng, no matter how strong his body was, Ai Husheng was a big living person of more than 100 catties. Carrying such a person, it is running slower and slower, and it looks like he is about to be caught up by the people behind. The city gate was still more than half a mile away, and the two guards desperately went back to block it, but they were chopped into meat sauce after only a moment.

"Who? Dare to make trouble at the city gates! "More than a dozen fast horses suddenly rushed out of the city, and the people on the horses were flying fish and embroidered spring knives. The head of the person, officially Xu Xianchun.

"Lord Xu, I am Steward Ai's guard. Save me! When the guards saw Xu Xianchun, they shouted hoarsely. When Ai Husheng invited Xu Xianchun to dinner, the guards were also by Ai Husheng's side.

Xu Xianchun didn't know a guard, but he knew the Liao army uniform on the guard. Full of the Ming Dynasty, only the Liao army wore it like this.

With the relationship between Li Xiao and Xu Xianchun, it is impossible for Xu Xianchun to watch his subordinates being hunted down. With a wave of his hand, more than a dozen brocade guards took out embroidered spring knives and urged the war horses to rush forward.

Hong Qi was stunned, he didn't expect to rush out of a team of brocade guards at this time.

He dared to provoke the Liao army, but he didn't dare to provoke the Jinyi guard. Any gangs in the rivers and lakes are ice and snow in the middle of summer in front of the state apparatus. Jinyiwei is the most violent fangs in the state apparatus. If you really kill Jinyiwei, I'm afraid that even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will have to be chased and killed.

"Helper! Jinyiwei! "Seeing Jin Yiwei, the legs of those beggar disciples under him are weak. There are a few people in the Ming Dynasty who are not afraid of Jinyiwei.

"Grandma's! Count his fate! Hong Qi took a sip, turned around and ran into the woods.

In a place like the woods, cavalry would never easily enter.

＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊＊

The test firing of the rocket launcher was extremely successful, and Li Xiao was so happy that his snot was bubbling. This weapon of mass destruction is an absolute nightmare for any army.

Two warheads weighing 400 pounds filled with nitrocellulose exploded, and the scene could only be described as devastating. The air wave from the explosion made it impossible to breathe for a while.

The huge explosion made Li Xiao, who had plugged the earbuds, feel tightness in his chest.

The two houses built at the center of the explosion disappeared immediately, and the pack horses bolted to the stakes were torn to pieces. The soldiers searched for a long time before they found half an incomplete hoof.

The crater in the ground is eight feet deep, and you must know that the bottom of Changxing Island is a hard rock, not soft sand.

The most exciting thing is that this thing has a range of sixteen miles. That is, up to eight kilometers.

Later generations of rocket artillery all hit dozens of kilometers, and eight kilometers is simply trivial. But Li Xiao doesn't have such a high-purity propellant in his hand, and it is already the limit to be able to fight eight kilometers.

As for whether there is an accurate head eight kilometers away, rocket artillery has never relied on the accurate head to eat. Lao Tzu hit a coverage, a volley of eight rounds. Hundreds of rockets fell into the camp at the same time, and it is estimated that there are no living people in the camp, this is not a war, this is a fucking massacre.

After climbing out of the bunker, everyone opened their mouths in surprise. Li Xiu looked at the eldest brother in surprise, the two already had such a great power. If it is really like what the eldest brother said, hundreds of rockets fall at the same time, and the scene is ......!

Li Xiu shuddered, not daring to think about it!

Li Hu stuffed his fist into his mouth, and his eyes were full of hot light. He likes this thing so much, with this thing, the Eight Banners are scum.

In fact, he likes everything that has to do with violence!

"It's too expensive!" In the midst of the people's exclamations, the old fisherman shook his head helplessly.

The output of nitrocellulose is so much, and this thing will be filled with 400 catties. While the explosion is incredibly powerful, the consumption of ammunition is also staggering.

Li Xiao looked at the old man in surprise, this should have been what Ai Husheng said, but now it actually came out of the old guy's mouth. It could be seen that he was worried about his apprentice. Once Li Xiao frantically asked for more production, the sledgehammer had to work day and night.

In fact, the process of producing nitric acid and sulfuric acid is also dangerous, and blindly working quickly will definitely lead to accidents.

"After all the factories are moved out of Phi Koh, the land on Phi Koh will be used for nitrocellulose production. I will send him additional manpower, and He Kegang has sent more than 200 prisoners of war. All sent to the island! ”

Hearing Li Xiao say this, the old man nodded his head. I hesitated to put forward the idea of my super cannon.

"There are mortars at short range, and this thing at long range. The combination of far and near forms a net of fire, and it is difficult for the gods to escape from here. Damn, it's getting easier and easier to fight this war from now on. Ao Canghai scolded, turned around and walked back.

Immunity to muskets is already in the sea, and the power of mortars is acceptable. But the power of the rocket really shocked the well-informed Ao Ye.

The advent of superweapons has completely left no room for personal prowess on the battlefield. Before you could get closer, a dozen miles away was covered in a large area by this thing. The rest of the people are not dead, and there is not much left.

Even if you have a lot of people, you can survive the death zone with the time it takes to reload. When they arrived a few miles away, they encountered the world's fastest mortar. Under the shrapnel flying sideways, even a person can't hide from it.

Even if you are powerful, survive the mortar. Behind is the range of the musket, and the dummmy bullet is a thing that lacks morality, and no matter where a person gets a shot, it is finished.

When you put the knife and try to cut someone, you find that the enemy has fallen in the charge. Belch...... On the way to the march. There are only corpses in front of them, and there is no object to be knifed.

Ao Ye is not the most depressed, but Man Gui, who came from Jinzhou, is depressed. Originally, the appearance of muskets had already dealt a fatal blow to the cavalry. Now with this thing, the massive use of cavalry is a complete nightmare. If the formation was dense, two rockets and a hundred and ten cavalry would disappear.

As long as there is a salvo, it is estimated that none of the 1,500 people under his command will survive.

On the way back, the mood of the individual is different. Li Hu chirped and said something to Li Xiu, Li Xiu just listened like a gourd, and didn't care about his brother's hard work.

Ao Ye and Man Ye rode side by side, not knowing what they were talking about. It's just that the wine bag in the hands of the two has never been put down.

When he was too old to ride a horse, Yulao and Inafu Youzhi sat in the carriage with Li Xiao. The cement pavement is good, but it is too hard, and the wheels are a little bumpy on it. Fortunately, the soft chair alleviates the bumps to a certain extent.

"There's no way to solve the barrel problem you mentioned, so we can't change all the guns. At current production, this would take three years. If you promise not to fight for three years, the old man will get it for you. In the carriage, the fisherman talked about the problem of not firing the gun last winter.

"It is possible to make a fuss about bullets, because in the past, we pursued that bullets must be attached to the chamber of the gun, so as to ensure that the power of the gunpowder can push the bullet further.

The old man thinks that he can make a batch of smaller bullets. It is specially used in winter, as long as it is indicated on the bullet box that it is a winter bullet. Inatomi said his idea. In recent years, his Chinese has made great progress, and although the tone of his speech is still weird, it still belongs to the category of being able to understand.

Li Xiao's eyes lit up, he was worried about this matter these days, but he didn't expect that the old guy Daofu Youzhi had already had an idea.

"It's a good idea, the existing ammunition will consume a lot of training on weekdays. It is feasible to prepare a special batch of winter bullets. "The old fisherman also thinks that Inatomi Younao's idea is good.

"Then it's decided, rockets and shells have to be produced more, and the production will be troublesome to you." Li Xiao made a decision immediately, and a good idea needs to be implemented immediately. It's almost July now, and the weather in Liaodong will be cold in another three or four months.

"The rocket charge is too large, and our existing nitrocellulose is no longer able to make ends meet. If rockets were to be manufactured, the production of mortar shells and grenades would be affected. You know, there is only so much nitrocellulose produced. For the sake of secrecy, we can only produce on Phi Island.

Even if the manpower you promised arrives, you will have to wait for the equipment and ore. The ore supplied by North Korea is no longer in as good condition as it used to be. This is another reason why the yield of nitrocellulose is not high! "There were a lot of people just now, and the old fisherman didn't say much. Now only Li Xiao and Inafu Youzhi can tell the truth to the old fisherman.

"I asked Ai Husheng to talk about North Korea. He seems to have encountered some trouble in the capital, and it is estimated that he will be able to settle and go to North Korea soon. We don't just need pyrite, we need iron ore, copper ore. And some, other ores that we need.

In the past, I always felt that people were weapons when they fought wars. Now I know that the war is fought against his mother's silver. Bear with me, everything will be fine in two years. "Li Xiao is full of confidence in the future.

Daqianmen has opened a market in the capital, and the liquor brewed in Hongluoshan is also selling well. Ai Husheng is a guy who can do everything, and he created the gimmick of five kinds of grain brewing. When he named the trademark Wuliangye, Li Xiao's jaw was about to fall to the ground.

With the support of the two giants of tobacco and alcohol, he is engaged in real estate development in the capital. Li Xiao is confident that he can feed this army of more than 20,000 people, not to mention that in the future, the vast eastern part of Liaodong will be planted with potatoes and corn, two high-yield crops. These two things are enough to ensure that hundreds of thousands of people in Liaodong will not go hungry.

There is even surplus feed to feed the pigs. The cold weather in the Northeast, how can you withstand the cold without eating something high-fat.

When the carriage came to John Tong's hospital, the foreign monk insisted that the cross be erected on the roof of the hospital. Li Xiao accepted it without much thought, in his opinion, there is no difference between the black cross and the red cross (it is completely necessary for the plot, and there is no irony for a certain association), that is, there are some differences in the place where it is hung.

I heard that this guy has come up with several new medicines, one of which works wonders for treating colds.

Colds can be regarded as the most widespread epidemic in eastern Liaodong, especially for children. Playing outside in the winter, taking off your hat when it's hot, and catching a cold is a common thing.

Last winter, John Tong cured many children. Even when the injections are given, the children's crying is more worrying.

In addition, the biggest advantage of Western medicine is that in terms of first aid, wounded soldiers on the battlefield. This old guy is able to stop the bleeding as quickly as possible, and then treat the symptoms.

Li Xiao understands too well the value of veterans who have been injured and returned to the battlefield. In the past, there were only a few nurses who taught themselves to use two knives to stitch stitches, but now there are people who can perform surgery. Despite the fact that the technical content of taking arrows is not the same as that of bullets, the number of recovered wounded soldiers has increased considerably.

As soon as he got off the carriage, Li Xiao saw Zheng Sen. This guy is wearing a white lab coat and a white hat on his head. If he saw him like this, he would have to cripple him.

"Teacher, I saw Li Xiao Zheng Sen saluting respectfully."

"You weren't supposed to be in the academy, why did you get here?"

"Teacher, the disciple is learning medical skills from Mr. Tang. Last winter, the disciple saw Iga die in front of the disciple. If a disciple learns the art of medicine, he will be able to be treated at the first time, and he will not die. ”

Li Xiao didn't speak, seeing his childhood eldest brother die in front of him, this feeling was really uncomfortable. patted Zheng Sen's head and led Zheng Sen to the hospital.

The whole hospital was painted with large white walls, about one person high, and all of them were painted with green paint. The ground is a cement floor, and it is estimated that Li Xiao had been cleaned before he came, and the ground was whitened by brushes.

John Tang was showing a child's legs, holding the cross-shaped knife edge with both hands and squeezing blood out. Li Xiao knew at a glance that this kid was bitten by a snake.

The snakes in the Northeast are generally pit vipers, commonly known as pheasant necks. The poison is far less than that of the poisonous snakes in the south, but children who are bitten still need to be treated quickly.

Li Xiao waited aside, and he hadn't talked to this foreign monk for a long time. Li Xiao really wanted to ask how he was doing here. The whole of Changxing Island is considered a religious paradise, and John Tong preached here. Many of the natives from Liaodong believe in Buddhism, and the people of Mangui are loyal followers of shamans.

As for the soldiers from Shandong, they were more willing to believe in Taishang Laojun. In some cases, such as when they want to have a son, they go to Avalokiteshvara. Li Xiao didn't know what they believed!

Li Xiu ran in in a little panic and whispered a few words to Li Xiao, and Li Xiao's face immediately changed. didn't say hello to John Tang, who was being treated, and hurriedly walked out.

"You study hard with Mr. Tang, there are some things I have to deal with in the capital." Seeing Zheng Sen follow out suspiciously, Li Xiao signaled that he could go back.

"Teacher, can I go to the capital with you?"
