Chapter 297
Li Hao felt that he was about to die, and wiped the deck for a morning. The whole arm was stiff, and the hand was holding the brush for so long that each knuckle moaned in pain when it opened. Lie in the corner of the deck and bask against the sails for a while. Li Hao felt that every muscle in his body was extremely sore, and if possible, he wanted to lie down like this until he was old.
I don't know why, the eldest brother had to send himself to the ship. The second brother led himself to the boat, casually threw himself to a guy with a scar on his face, and didn't bother to ask anymore. I finally understood what it means to call the heavens and the earth to be unspiritual.
"What's wrong? If you are dead, if you don't, get up and eat. There was a sharp pain in his thigh, and a hideous face appeared on the top of his head.
"Why did you kick me?" Li Hao rubbed his thighs and looked at the hideous-looking and muscular stone-like man in front of him in horror.
"I'm willing, how? You hit me, hit me. Scar thumped his chest, and wolf-like eyes stared at Li Hao as if he were staring at a prey.
Li Hao's eyes quickly moved away, he really didn't dare to look at such eyes.
"Don't dare to beat me, then don't ask questions if Lao Tzu beats you in the future. Get up and go to dinner with Lao Tzu. ”
After another kick in the buttocks, Li Hao hurriedly got up and followed Scar down the cabin.
"Second brother, this is a bit excessive. The boss asked you to practice the fourth, you can't find such a person to torture him. If it weren't for Chen Laohu's stubborn dragging, Li Hu would have pounced on him to teach Scar a lesson. Although he may not be able to beat it, his own brother can only bully himself, and Li Hu can't see it with a finger at others.
"Master Tiger! The second master can't help it, and the fourth master's temperament is too faced. People who are like dough can be kneaded casually. You must find someone to train him and train his courage.
This scar used to be a pirate of Goryeo, and he could catch fish by diving in the sea. When they went ashore, the tiger was also beaten to death. The rarest thing is that this guy is fierce by nature, and he likes to dig people's hearts and livers and eat them raw. Give the fourth master to him to practice, you won't be able to see it for two years, and you won't want to be fierce. ”
"You're going to let such a person discipline the fourth?" Li Hu's chin was about to fall to the ground, and Li Hao, who had fine skin and tender meat, followed a man-eating demon king, how the hell is reassuring.
"In a few days to form a marine, the eldest brother gave a regimental post. Scar is the company commander, and Xiao Hao is an errand under him. Li Xiu said coldly, and wanted to walk away.
"You wait a minute!" Li Hu grabbed Li Xiu.
"The eldest brother said that the edge of the sword comes from the sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The fourth child has this temperament, and he can't practice it without shedding his skin. Only by following a ruthless character like Scar can he really harden his heart.
When the boss threw you into the company, did you forget what you taught people a lesson? are all siblings, and I don't want people to call him Li Xiao's younger brother in the future, but call him Li Hao. Li Xiu patted Li Hu on the shoulder, leaving the stunned Li Hu straight down to the cabin.
Li Hao looked at a section of stewed mackerel, a plate of rice, and a few salted radish strips. I don't have the slightest appetite, and the stewed mackerel doesn't taste at all, which is far from what Sister Qiao did. Eating it in your mouth is no different from eating wood stubble.
The scar next to him ate sweetly, and saw that Li Hao didn't eat it. Raising his hand is a slap: "Eat, don't finish it for Lao Tzu." Lao Tzu pumped you twenty big mouths! ”
There was a burst of laughter from the cabin, Li Hao's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to offend Scar, lowered his head and tried hard to pull the food into his mouth.
There was a sound of footsteps, and a pair of leather boots appeared in front of Li Hao's eyes. Looking along the boot net, Li Hao saw Li Xiao's face.
"Big brother!" Tears opened the floodgates and flowed down like a flood, Li Hao threw away the plate and hugged Li Xiao's thighs and cried.
"Big brother, I'm going home. I'm not here anymore, I'm going home. Big brother, that man beat me, he was so fierce, I was afraid. While grinning and crying, he complained to Li Xiao.
"He hit you?" Li Xiao pointed to the scar standing aside.
"Hmm!" Li Hao was about to smoke and nodded hard.
"Poof!" Li Xiao took out a dagger and handed it to Li Hao.
"Take it, kill him." Li Xiao glanced at Scar, who stood stunned and didn't dare to move half a step.
"Don't! I don't want it! I don't want to kill. Li Hao trembled and let go of Li Xiao's thighs, and crawled back with fear in his eyes.
"Take it! You hold it for me! Li Xiao grabbed Li Hao over and stuffed the dagger into Li Hao's hand.
Li Hao trembled, and his eyes were full of begging. But Li Xiao's strength was greater than him, and his hands were held by Li Xiao, and he was forced to hold the dagger.
"Stab him in the heart, and he will die with a knife. He beats you and bullies you. You have to fight for a tooth in order to become a real man. ”
"I don't want to be a man, I don't want to!" Li Hao cried and sobbed.
"Dangchang" Li Xiao let go of his hand, and the dagger fell to the ground.
"Either be willing to endure bullying or pick up a knife and kill your opponent. This world is so cruel, me, your second brother, and third brother have all come here like this. If you want to live, you can only choose the same.
As your big brother, I remind you. Choose to pick up a knife and you will live like a lion. Enjoy the respect of others!
If you choose to give up the knife, you will live as well as a dog. Because dogs also know how to bite, and you will be the target of anyone who can bully. No one respects you, and no one cares what you think. When there are a lot of people, you will look like a transparent person.
Think about it! You have a lifetime of time! Li Xiao patted Li Hao's shoulder and stood up.
"What are you doing in a daze, all the fucking eats.!" Seeing that everyone was standing, Li Xiao roared, and everyone was as obedient as quails, sat down and continued to eat. Including the vicious Scar!
"Your third brother has won everyone's respect with his scars. Now people call him Tiger Master, not because he is my younger brother Li Xiao, but because he is Li Hu. Xiaohao, I hope that one day, you can also win the respect of others. Li Xiao threw down a sentence and stepped on the stairs to the deck.
"I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill ......!" Li Hao shrank on the floor, holding his head and crying.
The people in the cafeteria didn't seem to be able to see, and they all ate with their heads buried. Until you lick the rice plate cleaner than your face!
It is rare to have a few days of comfortable vacation, and in the morning Li Xiao took Tokugawa Chihime and Xiaoyu to catch the sea by the sea. The sea is always generous and leaves a lot of things at low tide.
Sprinkle a little salt and you will get out of the razor clams, and if you move away from the reef, you will have a Bohai outpost. Crabs the size of fingernails are absolutely delicious when fried in oil and mixed with salt. If you come across a puddle on the reef, you might be able to find a squid that doesn't have time to escape, or a silly fish.
Whenever this happens, Xiaoyu will be happy to slap her face.
The squid is formed in a circle and hung with paste. After deep-frying, dip it in some salt and pepper, it is definitely a top-notch ingredient.
Tokugawa Chihime likes to eat squid rings the most, and every time she pesters her husband like a koala, asking Li Xiao to cook for her herself. Since she became familiar with Li Xiao, this little girl will never let go of every opportunity to be coquettish.
Every time he came back from the sea, Li Xiao would put on an apron and cook.
Growing up by the sea, Li Xiao knows best how to make seafood. In fact, making seafood is the easiest, just put it in water and cook it. In the capital, many people eat pipi shrimp and actually dip it in ginger juice. For this way of eating turtles, Li Xiao scoffed.
Seafood and seafood, what you eat is a fresh word.
The small conch is cooked in one pot, and you don't even need to pick the spicy thread. A little soy sauce is mixed with wasabi, and Tokugawa Chihime tears up when she eats it.
Xiaoyu is very experienced in eating skin shrimp, and twists her head from the third quarter. Then peel off the shell section by section, and finally tear it along the tail to extract the meat from the entire tail.
For things like Pipi shrimp, Li Xiao still likes to eat them pickled. After making the marinade, put enough green onions, ginger and garlic, and marinate for a day and a night. The next day the salted shrimp crawler is done, if you ask the people by the sea. How to eat Pipi shrimp deliciously, eighty percent of people will recommend this practice.
Probably because of her eating habits, Tokugawa Chihime likes to eat all kinds of seafood raw. I have a soft spot for salted shrimp crawlers, and when I eat high, I will also speak foreign languages in a gurgling voice.
When he heard "Yo Xi", Li Xiao unconsciously remembered the ghost soldiers.
In his spare time, Li Xiao will also take Tokugawa Chihime and Xiaoyu to visit Changxing Island.
Years of construction have given Changxing Island some modern atmosphere. The most exemplary are the two steam engines made by the fishermen, which are characterized by a large size. Each is the size of half a football field, and all are placed away from residential areas for safety reasons.
The two large chimneys that are more than ten feet high will emit black smoke both day and night. Become an important source of pollution over Changxing Island!
In order to supply enough coal, a small dock had to be built next to the steam engine. Specially moored coal carriers from Goryeo!
The cement plant is another source of pollution, and now Changxing Island brand cement has been marketed in Daming. And it has always been in short supply, and those idiots in the Ministry of Industry actually asked Li Xiao for the formula. After being beaten by the fifth master, he gave up this idea.
With the steam engine as the power, the production efficiency has been significantly improved by a notch. Especially in military production, since the advent of simple lathes and boring machines. The army's standard weapons soon entered the finalized stage.
Standardized production was also quickly put on the agenda. Li Xiao's requirement was that infantry weapons should be universal. Bullets and firearms should be absolutely universal.
The first to be mass-produced was actually the long-barreled revolver, which was the most popular when the bullet was finalized.
Li Xiao experimented, and the length of the whole gun reached about 30 centimeters. The weight was heavy, but Man Gui said he didn't care. All he cared about was that his pawn could fire six bullets in a row before he drew his saber to fight.
Any cavalry team that has been fighting after firing six shots in a row. It will be a nightmare for your opponents! It is necessary to know that a barrel of up to twenty centimeters can give the revolver better accuracy. On a bumpy warhorse, the advantage of continuous shooting will also make them invincible.
As long as she can accompany Li Xiao, Xiaoyu is happy. Chirping and talking, like a sparrow. Seeing that he didn't understand, he dragged Li Xiao's clothes and asked. It doesn't matter if Li Xiao's explanation is understood or not, she just likes the feeling of pulling her brother.
The good days were finally over, when Ai Husheng arrived from Shanhaiguan. Li Xiao knew that it must be the emperor who met all his requirements. It can be seen that the emperor's patience with Liaodong is getting less and less. This bitter cold place is consuming most of the military resources of the Ming Empire.
He must first settle Liaodong, and then put out the endless rebellions in the northwest. even had to use troops in the southwest, and now the southwest doesn't know how many toasts, and he still wants to complete Yang Yinglong's unfinished business.
The most important thing is that Li Xiao can't be allowed to go on like this in Liaodong anymore. Zhu Youzhen knew in his heart that Li Xiao was not a docile cat. He has fangs, and claws. If he is huge, then he is a tiger, and he can swallow the tiger of the Ming Dynasty in one bite.
