"My lord, we shouldn't have agreed to this condition. If Mr. Qian knew, he would definitely not pay. The quartermaster looked at the backs of Li Xiao and Ao Canghai leaving happily, and kindly reminded Shi Kefa. If those rich people in Jiangnan didn't buy it, Shi Kefa wouldn't be able to sell it for so much money even if he boiled the bones into oil.

"Mr. Qian will definitely pay." Shi Kefa didn't say much, but just said it meaningfully.

The quartermaster was a little mad, this was a transaction totaling two million taels of silver. No matter how rich the rich people in Jiangnan are, they will not come up with such a huge amount of money for Shi Kefa to squander.

Li Xiao and Ao Canghai gave Shi Kefa a lot of suggestions, and Shi Kefa summoned the captains that night to improve according to Li Xiao and Ao Canghai's suggestions. The most important thing is the trenches, which not only have to be dug but also have to dig some anti-artillery holes close to the trenches, which are supported by thick wood. Because the shape of the anti-gun holes resembles cat ears, these anti-gun holes are also called cat-ear holes.

Although Shi Kefa didn't know the function of this cat's ear piercing, he heard Li Xiao say it very solemnly, so he asked his subordinates to dig it carefully. Winter is still more than a month away, and the soil is still soft. If it comes to November, after the land freezes. The soil on the ground will freeze like stones, and it will be difficult to dig a hole.

Now the trenches that have been dug only need to be watered when the ice is frozen. It is an impregnable wall, no less hard than a concrete wall.

After looking at Shi Kefa's position, Li Xiao's heart was much more relaxed. Shi Kefa still has two tricks, and the Jiangnan Forbidden Army under him can be regarded as the essence of the Liao Army's tactics. If the Tartars attack in Liguanzhen this year, they will definitely break a front tooth. And Shi Kefa's Nanjing Forbidden Army, because it has been tempered by actual combat, will also grow into a strong army.

As for the matter of fighting against Li Xiao, Li Xiao thinks that it is unlikely. Give up the rich Jiangnan and rob the deserted Liaodong with yourself, and you will do this when your head is in the sand.

I have to say that Li Xiao has underestimated the ambitions of the Jiangnan chaebols.

Bringing back 15,000 taels of silver, Li Xiao was very happy. The thing that bothers him the most now is money, and there are 300,000 displaced people in the capital. It's already autumn, so we have to settle them in a hurry. If you want to grow something in the ground, it's impossible.

If you don't want these people to make trouble, then you have to take care of the food. It would cost a lot of money to feed these 300,000 mouths. Sun Chengzong is also very busy these times. The displaced people are much more difficult to manage than the Han slaves who were returned by the Tatars before.

The 2nd Division drew a regiment from the tight strength and used it to suppress the homeless people who were making trouble. On the humble walls of Jinzhou, there are a hundred and ten grinning heads to warn those who are about to move.

Li Xiao believes that the appropriate bullet pressure is understandable, as long as there is no massacre. These homeless people are used to being lazy, and if they are not managed with an iron fist, there will definitely be a big mess. It is possible to make a leader and fight against yourself.

They're all ruffians, so fucking manageable. Fortunately, there is Sun Chengzong, an old fox who has been a master for a long time, otherwise Li Xiao would really not be able to handle it.

In the past few days, I have been waiting for news from the imperial court, and Ao Canghai's first division is ready to kill the Shandong Peninsula at any time. Rescue the broad masses of the people under the iron hooves of the Japanese invaders!

The news of the imperial court did not wait, but waited for the good news of the old fisherman.

The steam engine is finally a bit of an eyebrow, and the engineering team on the island is requisitioned by the fishermen to build houses. This is a machine the size of half a football field, and Li Xiao has a headache after seeing it.

Lao Tzu didn't want this thing, and the original plan to build a railway was shattered almost instantly. Whose locomotive is the size of half a football field!

Primitive things have to be a little heavier, this Li Xiao understands. But the fuck thing is a little too bulky, and I want to put it on the ship. It is estimated that this ship will have to be several laps larger than the aircraft carrier!

"How? This was made last night, and this is the kind of high-precision barrel you want. The old fisherman triumphantly held a bullet and a jet-black shiny barrel.

The old guy of the fisherman creatively mixed the metal tungsten into the phosphorus steel. This greatly improves the heat resistance of the barrel, and at the same time, the barrel becomes black and shiny.

The shape of the bullet is very similar to that of later generations, because of the fear of the power of nitrocellulose. Li Xiao used a large-caliber nine-millimeter bullet, which has a large caliber charge. The disadvantage is that the caliber is too large, resulting in heavy weight. The number of bullets carried by individual soldiers is naturally greatly reduced.

Weighing the bullets, he looked at the barrel again. In the end, it was not in vain to tinker with the steam engine, at least Yu Lao used this thing as a power to make a stamping machine and a barrel boring machine.

Especially the barrel boring machine, the processing accuracy of this thing can be much stronger than that of manual work. This guarantees the biggest challenge of custom ammunition, accuracy!

As long as the accuracy of these two things is guaranteed, it is estimated that it will not take long before you can use a breech-loaded firearm. Breech guns and breech guns, although they are both called guns. But it has revolutionary significance, in Li Xiao's heart. Breech guns are only worthy of being called firearms, and breech guns can be called guns.

With the use of fixed ammunition, the shooting accuracy of firearms, especially the firing speed, will be revolutionized. As long as the assembly line production of the fixed ammunition is completed, the anti-heaven artifact of Makqin will also appear in Li Xiao's team.

Whose army is equipped with Makqin in these years definitely means that the world is invincible. There is a problem with playing from Liaodong to London and Washington!

"It shouldn't be difficult to develop the rest of the components as soon as possible, with the steam engine as the power." The design of the magazine was a bit complicated for the fisherman, and the manufacturing process was still a big problem. Li Xiao now only wants to have a stable and reliable firearm that can shoot a single shot. The advantage of such firearms is that the structure is simple, easy to process, and easy to use and maintain.

"As long as these two things are available, the rest is not a big problem." The fisherman is very confident in himself and Inatomi Yunao. The fisherman has been studying machinery all his life, and Inatomi Yuzhi specializes in firearms. The number of a dream is not called in vain. With these two guys joining forces, Li Xiao doesn't have to worry about not being able to use good firearms.

As for the future, Li Xiao can also use breech-loading guns. As long as there is a boring machine, it is natural to be able to process the barrel as well.

Finally, there is good news, Li Xiao thinks he can get a good night's sleep. The day of going to Shandong is getting closer and closer, and it will be difficult to get a good night's sleep at that time!

The lights-out horn sounded, and all the barracks were blown out. Only the guards standing guard and patrolling the camp walked around the camp.

"Fuck it, it's Lao Tzu standing guard again." Li Hu muttered that the first guard every night was his. watched others sleep, but he could only pestle, which made the tiger master very unhappy.

"Tiger Master!" A voice rang out not far from the watchtower.

"Password!" Li Hu immediately picked up the fire gun and pointed in the direction of the sound.

"Master Tiger! It's me, Yanrong! Yan Rong was startled, and hurriedly jumped under the air lamp, so that Li Hu could see clearly that it was himself.

"Why are you here, you are not allowed to approach the sentry post when you are on duty." Li Hu scolded Yan Rong sharply. Women just don't know what to do, and it's very dangerous to be close to the sentry post in this kind of black-lit sky. When you encounter a nervous person, a shot is a fatal thing.

"People are worried about you, and you have the clothes you bring home and wash them. Seeing that no one came to pick it up, I asked someone to inquire that you were the first shift every day. The slave family had the audacity to find it! ”

Only then did Li Hu notice that Yan Rong was still followed by Xiaohong, who was wrapped on his back. You don't have to ask to know that this is the dirty clothes that Li Hutuo brought home.

"They said that you are working very hard here, or tell the eldest brother, just forget it. The eldest brother is not a stingy person, you are the younger brother of the eldest brother, don't you want to be an official. Why make yourself so hard? Yan Rong stood on tiptoe and stroked Li Hu's black face.

Li Hu's face was also black before, but it was not so dark. This half a month of polishing has made Li Hu miserable. Especially the 200-foot obstacle training, not only has to jump over the wall. There are also mud pits, crossing ponds and walking on the balance beam. Jumping high and low, the physical requirements are extremely high.

Half a month ago, when Li Hu first came to Black Bull. Li Hu will feel like a fish on the shore when he runs down. All that was left was lying on the ground, and all that was left was gasping. The feeling of being drained of my physical strength, and I didn't even bother to move a finger. Especially when the gas is out of breath, the stomach aches so much that people can barely move.

However, as long as you are willing to exercise, your physical strength will improve. Li Hu's physical foundation is good, but he has not been trained.

Now after training once, Li Hu is still a little breathing. But he was already free to move, and sometimes he was punished by the Black Bull for running two laps. There will be no fork in the air!

"Yes! Master, you've worked so hard. Look at you in the past half a month, you have lost weight and darkened. The slaves were distressed when they saw it! Xiaohong carried a huge package on her back and looked at Li Hu sadly.

"What do you know, I just can't let my eldest brother look at it. The man of my Li family, which one is not a man. The second brother can be the leader of the navy, and I can also be the regiment commander and division commander in the future. Leave your clothes behind and go home. You are not allowed to come here in the future, and people see the joke. ”

Li Hu pulled over the burden and pushed Yanrong and Xiaohong out.

"Master!"

"Go home, you won't be allowed to hear it in the future. If you come to the edge of the watchtower in the dark at night, I will beat you. Li Hu roared, Yanrong and Xiaohong immediately didn't dare to make a sound, and they helped each other to leave like angry little daughters-in-law.

"Women are trouble!" Li Hu spread out the burden, and his clothes exuded a faint scent of soap.

"Master Tiger! I'm here to pick up the sentry, yo, what's this? Got something delicious? The dog who took over the sentry saw the package in Li Hu's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"These two stupid women don't know how to bring something to eat. Even if the fuck brings a chicken, a bird will fade out of the mouth of the fish all day long! After listening to the dog's words, Li Hu realized that these two stupid women didn't bring anything to eat.

Seeing that there was nothing to eat, the dog was also disappointed. Silently took the firecracker, stood on the sentry post and began to perform the duties of the sentry.

Li Hu carried the package back to the barracks, and the dark barracks was full of snoring. I took a deep breath, many of the guys didn't wash their feet, and the smell in the barracks was suffocating.

He touched his bunk and did not take off his clothes. Take the package as a pillow and fall asleep!

In a haze, Li Hu saw a roast chicken appear next to him. The excited tiger master caught the roast chicken and was just about to bite it.

A sharp whistle sounded, and the thunderous roar of the black bull resounded throughout the dormitory.

"Urgent gathering! Urgent gathering! ”

Li Hu opened his eyes violently, and the black bull was scurrying around in the dormitory with a lantern in his hand. There was a mess in the Chase shop, this looking for clothes and the other looking for socks, and the noise rang out.

Because he didn't take off his clothes, Li Hu folded the quilt. I made a backpack three horizontally and two vertically, stuffed a pair of cloth shoes into the backpack and ran into the yard.

"Squad leader, why are you gathering?" When Li Hu went out, he saw the black bull who was waiting impatiently. There are few people on the playground now, and Li Hu came out quickly.

"You're pretty fast, so hurry up. We're going to Shandong, fuck Chen Hailong's bastard. He carried a lantern in his hand and shone the face of the black bull from below. This guy looks particularly eerie!

"We're going to Shandong? Is there a fight? ”

"The will of the imperial court has arrived, and the ship is already waiting on the dock. I'll leave tonight, dog's day. Dare to harm the military families of our Liao army, Lao Tzu let him pay the blood debt of Chen Hailong. The black bull gritted his teeth, and his face was extremely hideous.
