"This kid has a round face and a big forehead, and he was born with a rich and noble image. With your support, even if it is skyrocketing. Zheng Zhilong shook his head.

Li Xiao smiled and didn't speak!

If it weren't for Lao Tzu's arrival, the foundation of your Zheng family would have been ruined in the hands of this kid.

The matter was a bit big, and the presiding monk hurriedly ran out of the meditation hall. When he saw Zheng Zhilong, he gave a gift, and the Zheng family was really the richest man on the ground in Quanzhou. The Daxiong Treasure Hall of Kaiyuan Temple was built by the Zheng family.

Seeing Zheng Zhilong and Li Xiao walking side by side, the old monk knew that this young man was not simple. After inviting the two of them to sit down in the meditation room, they cooked a few vegetarian dishes by themselves. Zheng Zhilong didn't lie, this old guy's vegetarian dishes are really good.

Especially the vegetarian fish, which is really fishy. It's just that the old monk keeps saying that he has been a vegetarian since he was a child, how does he know what the taste of fish is?

Zheng Zhilong didn't just leave if he wanted to, if he wanted to leave Quanzhou Mansion, he still had to solve a trouble.

Before Li Xiao arrived in Quanzhou, there were sporadic fights in Fujian. These days, it has become a situation of sparks. The fighting between the Turks and the Turks has become more and more ferocious, from a single sporadic vendetta to a shovel village.

The so-called shovel village is that the aboriginal Min people and the Hakka people destroy each other's villages. Kill all the men in the village and take all the women in the village. and set fire to the villages, the means are extremely cruel.

"In fact, this kind of thing has started since the Wanli period. At that time, the north was in turmoil for many years, and many people fled all the way south from the north. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are rich, but they are also overcrowded, and the people there are extremely xenophobic. Northerners are not easy to gain a foothold in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so there are many people who go south to Fujian, which we call guests.

At first, the guests and the indigenous Min people could get along in harmony, but after a long time, the guests gained a firm foothold and came to join their relatives who did not mix well in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The number of guests is gradually increasing, and the land space required is also increasing. After decades, the Hakka people have become a climate in Fujian.

You know, we don't have much arable land in the land of Fujian. How can so many people be accommodated, so the indigenous Min people and the Hakka people began to have conflicts. Zheng Zhilong stood at the top of the hill, looking at the fortress in the distance.

Li Xiao was very surprised!

Where is the village in front of you, it can be called a fortress. The fortress he built in Liaodong to guard against the Tartars cannot be compared with it in terms of quality or quantity.

Every village here is a strong fortress.

There are also some strange villages, and the houses in the whole village are connected to form a circular tube building. Looking at it from afar, it looks like a missile silos. A trench more than a zhang wide was dug around the tube building, and according to Zheng Zhilong, the muddy water was full of sharp bamboo thorns. As long as you dare to step into it, your feet will definitely be pierced through.

Li Xiao is a little strange, such a village is still a shovel village? How to do it!

His own Liao army is considered an elite, and if he wants to break through such a battle fortress, he must use artillery. It's all villagers, where did the artillery come from.

"The government can't control it?" Li Xiao asked with a frown.

"I can't do it. The situation here is complicated, and the soldiers sent are either helping this side or helping the other side. It's good to stay in the barracks and remain neutral. Over the years, I have asked for the transfer of troops from other provinces many times, but you also know it. The Tartars in the north have been making a fuss all these years, and then you are making a fuss. There is no way for the imperial court to send reinforcements!

As a result, I could only watch the two sides of the Turks and the guest make a fuss. It's been two or three years now, and as long as they don't affect my Quanzhou City, I can only watch. Zheng Zhilong's words were quite helpless.

Li Xiaocai didn't think that this guy's words were true. The main thing is to mediate the fighting between the Turks and the Turks, which is not beneficial to Zheng Zhilong. If there was a benefit to be taken, he would have done it a long time ago.

"It's coming. On the red flag side are the indigenous Min people, and on the white flag side are the Hakka people. Standing on the top of the mountain, Zheng Zhibao, who was holding a telescope, pointed to the distance and shouted.

Li Xiao raised the binoculars and was really startled. In the distance, a large group of men and horses marched with red flags, those with red turbans wrapped around their heads, and swords, guns, and clubs in their hands. There was even a team of more than 100 people, and the guns in their hands were actually firecrackers. At the very end of the procession, slow-moving ox carts pull cannons. Li Xiao recognized it at a glance that it was a Franc cannon imitated by the Ming Dynasty.

In the Northern Theater, this thing belongs to the obsolete and backward weapons. This is also to blame Li Xiao, his arrival has made the firearms in the land of Daming show a blowout development. All kinds of advanced weapons have emerged one after another, and imported Western products have become seriously unsuitable for the increasingly fierce battlefield.

Looking at the team wrapped in white turbans on the opposite side, the number of people is obviously smaller. But the guy in his hand is not false at all, and there is no shortage of muskets and artillery. Li Xiao even looked at it, some things looked a lot like primitive rocket artillery.

The principle of rocket artillery is similar to that of the famous artillery drill monkey. There is a fire at the bottom, and it explodes when it escapes. The technology content is really not high, but the villagers have come up with it this year, which is really a bit surprising to Li Xiao.

Red is the main player, and White relies on the village to arrange the troops.

It can be seen that the leaders of both sides are quite military-minded. White, in particular, did not have a passive defense in the walled city. Instead, they lined up against the walled city to meet the enemy, which was much beyond Li Xiao's expectations.

In general, many people who do not have military knowledge will retreat into the walled city and passively defend.

If the opponent doesn't have artillery, it's a good idea to hide inside the walled city for defense. It's a pity that this thing is already on the battlefield.

As long as they bombarded with artillery, the people who were cowering in the walled city would not only be unable to fight back effectively. If you can't even rush out and do your best, you will be completely surrounded and killed in this circular tube like a missile silos.

If the other party starts setting fires, not a single person in the building will survive.

After the two sides finished arraying, they first exchanged artillery. And then there were musketeers who began to shoot!

They were all primitive firearms, and the two sides stood in a row and shot at each other. In Li Xiao's view, this is queuing up to be shot. When the musketeers are almost depleted, they will launch a white-knuckle charge. Bows and arrows flew in the sky, and the remaining musketeers on the ground struggled to reload and fire.

Although White was small in number, it was covered by crossbows and artillery on top of the walled city. It can also kill and injure a lot of indigenous Min people! This is not like a civil fight, but like a regular confrontation between two armies.

Li Xiao firmly believes that the kings of medieval Europe did not have this tactical level when they fought.

"After a few years of fighting, they have all grown. In the past, I just knew how to rush up and kill indiscriminately. It's good now, my soldiers are facing a battle formation, and I'm afraid they are not as ruthless as they are. Zheng Zhilong sighed helplessly.

"This soldier is fought, not trained. A soldier who has been on the battlefield and a soldier who has not been on the battlefield are definitely two different things. Veterans with combat experience are the greatest wealth of the army. Li Xiao nodded.

According to Zheng Zhilong, these people have been fighting for several years. It's not unusual to have this tactical literacy. Those with poor tactical literacy are probably buried in the soil.

Li Xiao was suddenly shocked! glanced at Zheng Zhilong, who was at ease.

So ruthless! Zheng Zhilong controls Fujian and has the South China Sea waterway to provide financial resources. To say that it can't quell the fight between the Turks is definitely. Zheng Zhilong is raising soldiers, and with these soldiers who fight on weekdays. As long as he pays for recruitment, he will immediately be able to form a large army that can fight well.

Bringing yourself here today is to let yourself see this scene. It is also another manifestation of surrender to Li Xiao, it seems that he has been in Quanzhou for more than ten days, and Zheng Zhilong has not been idle.

He must have used the flying pigeon to pass the book to contact Zheng Sen in the capital, Quanzhou is so far away from the capital. There will definitely be a transfer station in the middle, and the Zheng family's plans are not small.

Zheng Zhilong only handed over this last hole card to Li Xiao after getting Zheng Sen's understanding of electricity, which can be regarded as giving up his ambitions.

All right! In troubled times, none of them are easy to match.

"Yes! The soldiers in my battalion, if they were as well equipped as theirs, would certainly not be their opponents. Zheng Zhilong glanced at Li Xiao.

"Looking at their big battle, it is estimated that the total number of people is more than 10,000. I have two battalions of marines on board, and if I bring them up, I should be able to annihilate them all in less than two hours.

This is only the Marine Corps, if it is the first division of Ao Ye, or the second division that is coming to Fujian......! A reinforced battalion should be able to resolve the battle within an hour. Li Xiao's understatement made Zheng Zhibao next to him almost scream.

10,000 or thousands of people, just enough to fight for an hour? He suspected that Li Xiao was a little bragging, but he was not good at it for the sake of face.

"Among the Liao army, the first division and the second division are the most capable troops. Back then, in the bloody battle of Tartars in Liaodong, they were as fierce as Tartars, and they couldn't get cheap from Ao Ye and Master Yuan. Not to mention these rabble, it's just that the old man is leaving southern Fujian. But I don't want to leave this thorny problem to Master Yuan! ”

Li Xiao didn't look at Zheng Zhilong, and said lightly: "The fighting between the two sides is nothing more than a snatch of living space and resources. There is only so much space and resources in Fujian, and the Fujian people have long occupied the best resources in Fujian.

When the Hakka people came to Fujian, they naturally did not take any advantage. At the beginning, because the power was weak, he could still accept it. But as the number of people increases, they start to need more. That's where the fight comes in.

As long as this source is withdrawn, the two sides will naturally draw from the bottom of the kettle, and the pot of boiling water will slowly cool down. Li Xiao smiled slightly, as long as the source of the matter is found, it will not be difficult to solve.

"Oh, how will the marshal settle the feud between the two sides?" Zheng Zhilong was very surprised, and didn't understand why Li Xiao said it so easily.

"It's easy! On the other side of the sea is Yizhou, and He Kegang led people to reclaim Yizhou for ten years. The land in Yizhou is not something that his tens of thousands of people can cultivate at all, as long as Yizhou immigrants are opened. Whether it is the Hakka people or the indigenous people of Fujian, they can immigrate to Yizhou.

However, I believe that it should be the Hakka people who like to immigrate more. When they arrived in Yizhou, they would be registered as households. In the future, whether it is joining the army or studying, it will be no different from ordinary Ming people. I think this one alone has a fatal attraction for them. ”

Zheng Zhilong nodded, Li Xiao sat in this position, and he really had his ability.

It seems that Li Xiao has seen through his intentions, which is also a sign to Li Xiao. In the future, the Zheng family will no longer be involved in the military and will surrender to Li Xiao.

The news brought by Zheng Sen is actually two parts, one branch said that if the power is controlled by the Zheng family, it will not only be as simple as being rich and rivaling the country in the future, but will have a unique voice in Huaxia.

The other part is said to be the strength of the Liao army. Looking at China now, even if all the opposition forces are united, they are definitely not the opponents of the Liao army. The Zheng family's most important naval army was destroyed by the English fleet, and the Zheng family no longer had the capital to bargain.

Giving up control of the South China Sea and Fujian and Guangdong in exchange for the wealth of the Zheng family's descendants for generations is the best way out for the Zheng family now.

The reason why Li Xiao was brought here today was to hand over the Zheng family's last hole card. Xiang Li Xiao completely said that the Zheng family withdrew from the ranks of competing for the world.

Now that Li Xiao has said the solution, it means that Li Xiao understands what Zheng Zhilong means. The two sides tacitly agreed that the Zheng family would be a rich man in the future.

While the two of them were talking, there were already corpses strewn down below. Both sides paid a terrible price, but the living continued to slash and slaughter. The Hakka people outside the walled city were finally unable to defeat the numerical superiority of the indigenous Min people, and gradually showed a situation of inadequacy.

The indigenous Min people have been watching the battle from the sidelines and have not participated in the war. At this time, like a wolf smelling blood, it fiercely rushed towards the weakest point of the battle line.

The Hakka people have already taken the last reserve team, and no one can go to the front. couldn't withstand the rush of this new force, and the Hakka people were swept away in an instant. Many people began to flee into the walled city, and the indigenous Min people chased them into the walled city.

Soon a fire broke out in the walled city, and Li Xiao could even faintly hear the screams of women and children.

"This went on for a few years, and sometimes it was the Hakka who attacked the walled cities of the indigenous Min people. Sometimes it was the indigenous Min people who broke through the Hakka walled city, and every time it was like this. They are all murderers, and they are all killed. Now they look pitiful, but when they kill others, they are just as bloody and cruel.

Whoever doesn't mention a murder knife is not a knife and a knife. None of the people here are innocent. Li Xiao sighed. Things have come to this point, and it's actually unclear who is right and who is wrong. The murderer is avenged, and the avenger is avenged.

Killing and killing, they are all poor people fighting to live!

The flames burned below, and thick smoke shot into the sky. The indigenous Min people carried the booty and escorted the captured women and children away. Leaving behind burning flames, howling wounded, and corpses scattered everywhere.

Li Xiao didn't have the mood to look any further, and walked down the mountain without greeting him.
