"What's the matter with the British, how can Wu Sangui make everything? The steam engine has actually been built, so tomorrow they can also build an airship. Li Xiao looked at Li Yongfang with an unkind face.

Since the incident of Xiaoyu, the secrecy of the arsenal has become a top priority. In this case, the British still built a steam engine, and this Li Xiao couldn't stand it. Daming's military security department is not a sieve?

Li Yongfang's head oozed sweat for a moment, and he knew that Li Xiao was already extremely dissatisfied.

Oh my God! has offended a lot of people over the years, if you lose Li Xiao's support...... God knows what will happen to you.

Wiping a handful of sweat from his head, Li Yongfang bowed his waist: "Qiyu is handsome!" The matter of the steam engine was definitely not leaked by our Daming, according to what our subordinates know. Wu Sangui invited a man named Watt in England, and it was this person who made the steam engine.

This was reported in the briefing at the end of last year......! Li Yongfang glanced at Li Xiao carefully.

Li Xiao pouted helplessly, at the end of last year, when he was officially sick to death, he was still reading a woolen briefing at that time.

"What did you say was the name of the man who made the steam engine?" Li Xiao suddenly grasped the point.

"Called...... Watt! ”

"Hey......!" Li Xiao sighed even more helplessly, the track of the historical chariot is indeed not something that can be shaken by a praying mantis. Thousands of calculations, but it can't be calculated that the god of history has made a Watt with himself.

The steam engine was originally his family's! In other words, the steam engine was originally improved by Watt. I'm just turning on black technology!

"Focus on monitoring the engineers of the power plant, and no one will be allowed to divulge the secrets of the electric." Now that the steam engine has been leaked, the secrets of the electricity must not be allowed to leak out again. The advent of electricity is of epoch-making significance. Now there are only Beijing Division, Liaodong, where the Liao army has a solid foundation, and Jinan, Shandong, which is full of factories, have power plants, which are relatively easy to control.

"No! At the Huangdao Shipyard, I found a few people eating inside and out. What should I do with it? Li Yongfang asked knowingly!

In order to save some face for himself, Li Yongfang decided to throw out a few unlucky eggs.

"Hmmm! What's going on? ”

"A few bribed guys privately hand-painted warship patterns and sold them to a man from Shaanxi. The Shaanxi man disappeared when he arrived in Guanzhong, losing three elite men, and failing to find him. ”

"Hand-drawn warship drawing! Dare to do such a thing, not bad! They're doing a great job! Li Xiao's face turned blue with anger.

To this day, many people still do not understand why the imperial court fought against the Mongols and the British. This is so that the descendants of the Chinese nation have enough resources to use them, and this is so that the descendants of the Chinese nation can stand at the top of the forest of nations in the world.

Lu Xun said that history books are full of cannibalism.

There are always those fools who don't know the cruelty of this world. The law of the jungle has always been the most basic law, and morality, fairness, and justice are all fig leafs between countries and nations. The law of the jungle has always been the norm of this world!

For thousands of years, how many peoples have disappeared from this world. None of them were destroyed by natural disasters, and the culprits of all known peoples were biological cousins.

Don't believe the words of diplomats, those are all farts. To use the most polite language, to make the most shameless requests, this is the job of a diplomat.

"Kill! Blood relatives within the three clans, kill! Li Xiao gritted his teeth.

"Exterminate the three clans?" Rao is Li Yongfang, who is like a murderer, and he can't help but be stunned. Even when there was an emperor, the extermination of the three clans was only the punishment of the extermination of the nine clans. If it's not a major crime, please don't move! Now, Li Xiao actually wants to use such a punishment.

"That's right! Exterminate the three tribes. Eat the steak and go out to sell the ancestors, kill! Li Xiao said a killing word softly in his mouth. Hundreds of heads have landed!

"No!" Li Yongfang didn't know that so many people would die if he said a word.

"Find someone who is right to go to Guanzhong and find out the nail that Dolgon has buried." Next year, it will be the time for the armies of all walks of life to go on an expedition to the Western Regions. We must not let unpredictable factors occur in the base camp.

"No!"

Back in the back house, Li Xiao lay on the bed feeling exhausted. Maybe it's not physical tiredness but mental tiredness, and now I know how difficult it is to govern a country with a population of more than 100 million. It is even more difficult to govern a country with a population of more than one billion.

Tokugawa Chihime's small hand caressed Li Xiao's temples and kneaded them gently.

"Lin'er went to bed last night and called her mother in her sleep, did you bring the Zhang family back?"

It's a nuisance again!

When a woman reaches Zhang's age, her personality is as eccentric as she is.

"Pick up? Xiaoyu didn't go to take it, she refused to come back. She still resents Zhu Yihai's death in her heart! O iniquity! For this kind of tangled and messy thing, Li Xiao is also helpless in his heart.

At the time of the Wumen Change, what Zhu Yihai did was ...... if Li Xiao didn't make a decision at that time. Now I'm afraid the Zhang family will have to be a widow again!

"Is the concubine going to the island and persuading ......!"

"It has just been ordered that no one else is allowed to land on Changxing Island casually. People on the island are not allowed to leave at will! You go to the island, with so many people, and there are many people, and if something happens, you can't say clearly. Wait!

In a few days, I will go to the northwest to inspect, you can prepare it for Lin'er, and I will take him with me when the time comes. also let him see what the situation is like in the vast northwest, where the world is vast and can broaden people's minds.

If you want to do great things in this life, your mind is very important. His father and I are starting to get tired now. Putting his arms around Tokugawa Chihime's soft body, Li Xiao closed his eyes.

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

Li Xiu held Li Xiao's letter in his hand, and it only took thirteen days for the letter to reach him from the Ming Jingshi. It's been a month since the last battle on Xinjiapo, and the sea breeze in Xinjiapo is still so warm. But the mood is very different from the same month ago!

A month ago, he led the Daming Water Master to come here majestically. At that time, he decided that his fleet could not have an opponent in this world. Reality taught him a hard lesson!

The fleet of the British advanced rapidly, and they not only had steam engine ironclads. The artillery fired accurately, and it was able to maintain a good formation when mixing stations. At the last moment, the Prince of Wales did not hoist the white flag and surrendered.

All of this impressed Li Xiu, who was an extremely difficult opponent. Big Brother said that Britain is the top naval power in the West. I used to be very contemptuous, but now it seems that the eldest brother is right. The performance of the British Navy is worthy of the title of a strong army.

Zhenyuan is basically crippled, with half of the front main turret left, and the rear main turret all overturned. Come far, Jingyuan is all seriously injured. Jiyuan and Dingyuan were slightly injured, and only Zhiyuan, which guarded the landing fleet, was not damaged.

However, Zhiyuan belongs to the first generation of ironclad ships, and there are only two boilers in the stomach. The speed and armor, as well as the front main gun, are not at all comparable to the last three new ironclad ships.

Zhenyuan, Laiyuan, and Jiyuan have already returned, and I don't know how long it will take to repair the ship this time. Lushunkou and Huangdao are too far for Xinjiapo.

"Your Excellency Commander, you call the ...... officer!" Sun Yuanhua was a little nervous, and Li Xiu called him over but stared at the sea in a daze.

"Oh! Thinking about something almost made you forget. My eldest brother has sent a letter saying that Xinjiapo is going to build a shipyard. I have only soldiers fighting in the war, no craftsmen working here. So I'm looking for you to bang the wooden clock and see if you can be accommodating and help build the shipyard building and the dock dry dock or something. Although the tone was polite, it was strong and unquestionable.

"Your Excellency, Commander, you just have to say what you need. Manpower! The subordinate still had 2,000 prisoners of war in his hands, which could be driven by the commander. If it's not enough, you can also ask Tagawa Nanaemon to take the Japanese people to arrest it. In the past, when Hong Chengchou was here, this was how the labor problem was solved.

As for the materials, if you want wood, there are many forests in Malay. What kind of wood you want, just let the laborers cut it. There is a stone factory not far from our new home, and stone is not a problem. Cement ......!

The cement produced by bricks and cement factories is indeed not enough now, and half of the daily output will be allocated to you. Sun Yuanhua was completely negotiated.

This commander is none other than the younger brother of the marshal Li Xiao. I have a few courages and dare to play official power with this master.

"That's good! The prisoners of war were still there, but the natives were always a little less strong. When Li Xiu saw those monkey-like Southeast Asian natives, his brows were twisted into a Sichuan character. Thin arms and thin legs are the same as monkeys, what can you hold and move?

"Uh......! Yesterday a man named Joseph came to the magistrate, and he said what kind of Frenchman he was. His brother was the French commander in Egypt, and he had a group of able-bodied Egyptians to betray. The subordinates have seen it, and they are indeed all strong people.

If the commander wants, the subordinate can bring that Joseph. It's just that you have to pay for it yourself. In recent years, Xinjiapo has been building a city, and there is really no rich silver in the treasury, so you can be considerate of the officials. ”

"You old fritter! Playing with the iron rooster with the master, everyone knows how much Hong Chengchou's family has. How? Want to keep it to yourself? ”

"Oh! Speaking of Hong Chengchou's family background, the lower official has something to tell the commander. Guess who Xia Guan found among the daughters of the Hong family? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, let go of a fart!"

"Xiaguan found Liu Ruyi among the daughters of the Hong family, and when he was a Jinshi in Xiaguan, he once visited Qian Qianyi. By chance, I saw Liu Ru is person. ”

"Liu is like this?" Li Xiu suddenly came to his senses.

"That's right! Xia Guan dared to guarantee that he was not mistaken, and now the Hong family has been taken care of. If the commander wants someone, the subordinate will send someone to send it. ”

"You old thing, when did you start being a prostitute. But this woman does have a lot of use, Scar! You bring some good hands to bring people back, I think the eldest brother will be interested in this woman. ”

"No!" Scar answered, and took Li Xiu's guard company straight to Xinjiapo City.

"Uh......!" Sun Yuanhua didn't expect that Li Xiu would be so anxious.
