After breakfast and when he got on the horse, Li Xiao heard a loud noise.

It was the sound of explosives blowing up cliffs, shattering rocks and falling dirt that could cover everything in Star Gorge. Including the 5,000 dead Jungar Mongol soldiers!

Li Xiao kept telling himself that kindness to the enemy was cruelty to himself. Under this classic saying, 5,000 lives seem to be destined to become unjust souls.

I have to say that the minority brothers are sincere. Send scouts into the Star Gorge, and there is not even a single Mongol soldier in it. The man named Nayae pulled out all his men.

After Xingxing Gorge is Xingxing Town, Li Xiao originally thought that this would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect that it would only be a slight contact, and then gave up the idea of rescuing Xingxing Gorge.

"Well done!" Li Xiao patted Nie Dahu's shoulder, looking very approving. Unconsciously, Li Xiao found that he had developed the habit of being a superior. Nie Dahu was more than ten years older than him, and Li Xiao patted his shoulder unequivocally.

The Mongol soldiers were very cowardly, killing hundreds of people and retreating. It looks like he's back to Hami, handsome! This battle has not been enjoyable, and the attack on Hami will allow us to fight the main attack. Nie Dahu smiled innocently, a little embarrassed in his smile. It seems that he can't afford Li Xiao's evaluation!

"Want to play the main attack? What a pity! If we can't fight, Hami City is already in our hands. Man Ye is there, you want to attack again, but you don't know if you can beat Man Ye. ”

"That's not possible, fight with Master Man, our division commander will pick my skin."

Zu Dashou left a regiment to garrison Xingxing Gorge and Xingxing Town, and the rest of the large army crossed Xingxing Gorge to advance in the Western Regions. It only took two days to reach Hami City.

As soon as he arrived in Hami, Li Xiao had to set about resolving the contradictions between the Japanese and Ge Ritu. Now Li Xiao finally understands that the multinational force is not so easy to control. Both the prosecution and defense speak a language that Li Xiao does not understand, and they have to translate every sentence they say. Sometimes the translated words don't sound smooth, which makes Li Xiao head and two.

"If this thing is not done well, it is the beginning of infighting. The Japanese people hold grudges, and Geritu is not a good thing. If they do fight, your calculations will be in vain, and you will have to mediate when the time comes. The rest of the battle will have to be fought by our soldiers, and casualties will be inevitable. Zhang Huangyan said very solemnly.

"Yes! It's annoying enough, but it won't bother anymore soon. Li Xiao glanced at Zhang Huangyan.

"What? Do you have a solution? ”

"No way, but I'm sure you'll figure out a way to fix it."

"Me?" Zhang Huangyan had a sense of foreboding.

"You are my chief of staff, of course, you have to share the worries of the commander. For such a trivial matter as adjusting the relationship between the allies, how can I, who is a commander, come forward in person. Li Xiao spread his hands, and then went to find Manye.

"I ......! You......! Zhang Huang was so angry that he didn't know what to say, he had a new understanding of Li Xiao's shamelessness. But there is no way, the official university crushes people to death, so he can only take this hot potato head-on.

"Dashuai!" As soon as Li Xiao walked up to Man Ye, he saw Ge Ritu walking over with a sneer. The current Geri map is simply Erha possessed. Bend over and shrink your neck, where is there still the momentum of the golden family!

"I said Lao Ge, we are also allies, and you are arresting other Japanese soldiers without authorization, this is your mistake. Mr. Zhang is very angry and wants to dispose of you. See how you can bribe me and say two nice things for you. "It's all old acquaintances, Li Xiao laughed and joked about Ge Ritu.

"Dashuai, it's all his subordinates who are in a hurry...... for a while!" Gritu laughed and confessed.

"Oh! The fault of his subordinates, that's good! Hand over your men and chop them with a knife to correct the military rules. Li Xiao pulled his face, looking like he wanted to do business.

Geritu was frightened, but he didn't dare to do it. If Li Xiao does this, it is equivalent to saying that everyone knows that there is a rift in the relationship between him and Li Xiao. In the steppe, this rift is fatal. Other tribes will take advantage of the fact that your backers do not support you and give birth to different thoughts.

Ambition may be a bud at first. But over time, this thing will grow like a weed.

Many tribes in the steppe are attached to themselves, all because there is a Liao army behind Geritu. And with Geritu, you can do business with the Han people, so that the tribe gradually becomes rich. Once Li Xiao doesn't support himself, the beggar department won't be able to hold out for even two months. In the era when strength was king, the appeal of the golden family was not even a fart.

"Handsome ......!" Geritu's face turned white with fright.

"Forget it! Brother Xiao, don't scare Lao Ge. This time, his subordinates also suffered heavy losses, and after deducting the people of the Japanese country, he asked Lao Ge to contribute some money. Didn't the Japanese people come so far to fight for money? Besides, they only arrested people, and did not hurt them. It's all old acquaintances! "Obviously, Master Man accepted the benefits of Geritu and stood up to help Geritu speak.

"Handsome ......!" Geritu folded his hands, his face full of pleading.

"Take the money? Then how about giving all your profits to the Japanese people in Hami City? Li Xiao offered preferential conditions.

"All?"

"No way?"

"Okay! Yes! But Dashuai, look at the people in this Hami city ......! Did you send it to me, they were all Mongols, they ......" Geritu said his true purpose with a lewd smile on his face.

"No! They resisted the Ming Dynasty, and even attacked your men and the Japanese when they returned, causing heavy casualties to our army. These people have to be disposed of, you don't interfere. Li Xiao categorically rejected Geritu, and those who surrendered in Xingxing Gorge were all killed, not to mention those who did not surrender and dared to resist.

"Handsome ......!"

"Uh-huh......!" Li Xiao's eyes sharpened, and Ge Ritu was immediately so frightened that he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Standing at the head of Hami City, Li Xiao watched the people in Hami City being driven outside like sheep. The Japanese soldiers were on guard with rifles, and a group of North Koreans with sticks were driving away the Hami.

When you encounter an old man who walks slowly, or a woman or child who is crying and refusing to leave, rushing forward is a stick. The cries in the group grew louder and louder, and some men tried to save the elderly and children in the family, only to be nailed to the ground by a shot.

Corpses lay on the side of the road, telling those who dared to resist what the fate would be.

Men and women were separated, and men had to line up to walk across a horizontal bar. Those that are not as high as a bar are all classified to one side. Women are classified according to their age, with the younger ones grouped together and the older or too young ones grouped on the other side.

Then the men, who were taller than the bar, each with a shovel, began to dig a hole.

The pit was dug for two whole days, and the pit was so big and deep that it was almost full of magma.

Everything was going on unhurriedly outside the city of Hami, and the more than 80,000 Hami citizens were classified one by one and separated into several large pieces with barbed wire.

Every night there is always the sound of dogs barking and gunshots, and along with these sounds, there are the screams of the Mongols. Those who tried to escape were shown to have been bitten by dogs and then beaten to death with sticks by North Koreans on the ground. Only those who are too fast will be shot.

The marksmanship of the Japanese soldiers is not bad, and the hit rate within 100 meters is amazing.

There are only more than 7,000 girls and young women, and I have to say that after the mixed blood of the Mongols and the natives of the Western Regions, the girls born are really naturally beautiful. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Western Regions, certainly not for mutton skewers.

There are several, and even Li Xiao is a little tempted by the beautiful ones.

"Handsome! There are already a hundred and ten good ones left, and you have to have someone waiting for you in this desert. "Facts have proved that the descendants of Genghis Khan are shameless and invincible in the world. Ge Ritu, who was still wailing yesterday, has become a prostitute today.

Fuck it! One hundred and ten good, Lao Tzu still wants this kidney. Lao Tzu doesn't want to be young, just ****!

Seeing Li Xiao's uncertain face, Ge Ritu hurriedly said: "These are virgins, and no one has touched them. ”

"Hmm!" Li Xiao snorted inside his nose and stopped talking.

Seeing that Li Xiao acquiesced, Ge Ritu immediately told his subordinates to send people to Li Xiao's camp.

When Li Xiao returned to the camp, there were a hundred and ten young girls wearing Mongolian robes and looking terrified. said that it was a girl, and some of them were more material than those who had breastfed children, and they made people swallow their saliva directly.

"Pick a few timid ones to come and wait, and the rest will be loaded and sent back to the capital to be handed over to Ai Husheng. It's a high-quality product that sells for a lot of money. "The capture was part of the military expenses of the Western Expedition, and of course the prisoners were also part of the capture.

Ai Husheng is responsible for monetizing these things, and the men who have made the horizontal bar will be sold to the mines to work as coolies. Women! Unified auction, Ai Husheng is still ready to hold an auction, and the one with the highest price will win.

The Ming Dynasty has strict rules prohibiting the buying and selling of human beings. Therefore, these people who are sold are uniformly taxed on livestock. Rate! The reference is a donkey!

Wake up! Li Xiao felt a sore back, and the two Mongolian girls beside him were jade.

Today, we will continue to march west, presumably by this time Gerdan has already received the news. The battle below is estimated to be tragic.

The big pit outside Hami is gone, and in its place is a huge mountain bag.

Truckloads of captives were escorted on the road, and after walking back to Yumen Pass, they were loaded onto trains and taken to Xi'an for auction.

When Li Xiao was fighting in the Western Regions, Li Yongfang was in a villa in the capital, sitting and talking face-to-face with a beautiful woman.

"Liu is so! I think you know where you are now, I want to know about Wu Sangui, and you know about the Mongols. You'll have to tell me all these things, and of course everything has a price. The price of telling these secrets is that you can live a good life in the capital.

You see, this is the most prosperous Tongzhou New District in Beijing. That one is the Chaobai River, and the wind in the summer blows against the water skin, which is called a cool. That thing is called an electric fan, and that thing over there is called an electric light. As soon as you flip the switch, the house is lit up all night. These things are only available in the world, such as Beijing, Jinan, Jinzhou, and Xi'an.

Tell the secrets you know, and you'll be able to enjoy it all. Li Yongfang smiled like a fox, and that smile was as hypocritical as it was.

"When Chongzhen was three years old, I once came to the capital with my lord. At that time, this was not the case in the capital, there were not so many high-rise buildings, and there were no electric lights and fans as you mentioned.

I remember that it was also spring, and when the wind blew, all the people on the street were gray-faced, not as glamorous as everyone is now.

After going around for more than ten years, I didn't expect to return here. It's just that things are not people, and I don't even know this capital. Liu Ruye's eyes looked out the window, and her eyes were full of longing.

"Then say it, I'll listen to you." Li Yongfang took a sip of tea.

"Where to start?"

"Let's start with Wu Sangui's shipyard in Mumbai, how did he get the steam engine technology?" As the person most in the know, Li Yongfang intends to consolidate the information he has obtained before.

"The steam engine was a man named Watt whom they invited from England, and Wu Sangui told the man named Watt about it, and specifically mentioned rubber. That Watt said that there was a kind of machine for pumping water in the British coal mines, much like the principle of the steam engine. However, the seal is not good and does not provide enough power.

Later, Wu Sangui bought rubber from the Portuguese, and the watt was very powerful, and it took only a few months to make a steam engine. Later, Wu Sangui got the drawings of the steam engine ship from Daming, which were all hand-drawn sketches.

Watt and one or two studied it for weeks, oh! That's an algorithm for the British, and it's seven days a week. ”

"I know!"

"Then they started trying to build warships, and the British had good craftsmen. India has a lot of minerals, and they also got some ore from Syria, which is said to make steel that is very strong. ”

Listening to Liu Rus's words, Li Yongfang nodded. He'd heard all of this, and it wasn't new. The first round of raising this topic was to test whether Liu Ru would tell the truth. Now it seems that the woman is willing to cooperate.

"How many warships did they build?"

"Before the Mumbai shipyard was expanded, they built five ships in succession. After the expansion, it will be possible to start construction of five ships at the same time. Construction of all five ships began last year and is expected to be launched by this summer at the latest. ”

"How did they build it so fast?" Li Yongfang was taken aback, the British's ship-building speed was more than twice that of Daming. The Ming Dynasty could only build a maximum of two warships a year, which was the result of full financial support.

The British built warships like this, where did they get the money?

"The British brought back a lot of craftsmen from England, which was originally a maritime power. The shipbuilding technology is very good, and the workers are also very skilled. Wu Sangui not only hired skilled craftsmen from England but also from various European countries. So, there is a high level of efficiency in shipbuilding in Mumbai.

Oh! By the way, a man named Status invented a very powerful weapon......! ”

PS: In this era, there were no welding rods, and the armor of ironclad ships was made of rivets. I also checked it on Baidu!

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
