Although Jin Yiwei's authority is not as good as before, the things that can make Luo Yang nervous must be a big deal.

"What's the matter?" Li Xiao asked with a serious face.

"Third master! I can't find it. ”

"Third master......! Are you saying that the third child can't be found? Is it that you can't find it, or you can't find it? Li Xiao reacted quickly and immediately thought of the difference. If you can't find it, it's likely that something happened. If Luo Yangxing can't find it, then it is very likely that Li Hu is hiding.

Although Jinyiwei is riding the world, after all, he has lost his position for a long time, and now he can mix it up, all with the support of two hundred years of heritage. In the past few years, Li Hu has also had his own team, and it makes sense to hide in a place where Jinyi Wei can't find it.

"The subordinates are incompetent, because the subordinates can't find it. However, his subordinates discovered that the third master had returned to the capital before the handsome expedition to the west. At that time, I came back with a Westerner named Joseph, and they met Tobe Aishoshu. Then ......" Luo Yangxing glanced up at Li Xiao, and stopped talking.

"Then what, don't hide it." Li Xiao urged anxiously.

Then, Hu Ye took people to Tianjin Wei Wharf. According to the report of the people on the Tianjin Wei side, seven days later, the tiger master took two or three hundred people from Tanggu to board the boat, and a total of three ships went all the way south. After that, I don't know. Luo Yangxing reported to Li Xiao with sincere fear.

"Three ships, just two or three hundred people? Say, what exactly did he take with him? Li Xiao's tiger-like eyes looked at Luo Yangxing, and the coercion of the superior made Luo Yangxing tremble.

"Tiger Master......! Tiger Master took two ships of munitions, an unknown number of mortars, a large number of shells and grenades, rifle bullets, and so on. The subordinates contacted the people of the Jinzhou Gun Factory and learned that the tiger master had taken away a hundred of the latest Aka 47 rifles.

The person who loaded the ship also said that the ammunition taken by the tiger master was enough for a regimental envoy. Luo Yang was trembling, this matter can be regarded as Li Hu's defection. But after all, this is the younger brother of the handsome, who dares to say.

"The management of rifles and ammunition is so messy? He took so much munitions, and no one reported it. What do the people in the military department do to eat! Li Xiao was angry, I don't know what Li Hu did, what did this kid do!

Luo Yang closed his mouth knowingly, and it was easy to offend people by talking too much at this time. That is your handsome brother, who dares to brush him off. Not to mention ordering guns and ammunition, even if it is to estimate the artillery, the people in the arsenal dare not say a word.

Everyone knows that the world in Liaodong belongs to the Li family. To expand a little more, now the big tomorrow is also the Li family. If it is according to the past practice, this tiger master is a proper prince. Argue with him, where will there be good fruit to eat.

"This thing...... It's up to you brocade guards to check. Note! Check it secretly and don't alarm too many people. There are always traces of everything, and I believe that you Jinyiwei will find them. Just a hint to you, even if they're on a boat, they'll have to stop for supplies along the way.

Examine! The ports from Tianjin Port to the south are all checked. If they were to travel far away, they would presumably be intensively replenished in domestic ports. At the last stop, supplies will be filled. Got it? ”

"The subordinates understand, so they will send someone to investigate, and they must find out the news of the third master."

"The most important thing is ......"

"Confidential!"

"Okay, let's do it!" Li Xiao commanded, and Luo Yangxing immediately bowed and withdrew from Li Xiao's study. As soon as he walked out of the study, Luo's waist was straighter than a javelin. This is the first time Li Xiao has assigned a task to Jinyiwei, whether Jinyiwei can restore his former glory and make a turnaround, it all depends on whether this errand is done beautifully.

"Junko, call me the second child." After Luo Yangxing left, Li Xiao immediately ordered Shunzi to call Li Xiu.

After getting Li Xiao's promise that he was going to expand the navy, Li Xiu was going to find Zhang Huangyan tomorrow to implement the matter after he got a good night's sleep. Unexpectedly, as soon as I wanted to sleep after taking a bath, I was called up by Junko.

"Big brother, what's the matter? It's going to be sleeping! Li Xiu changed his clothes and followed Shunzi to Li Xiao's study.

"Where did the third child go?" Li Xiao asked with a serious expression.

"How do I know, I want to know too. This kid hasn't been seen for months! Li Xiu was a little stunned, he didn't expect Li Xiao to come here so late, just for Li Hu's business.

"The third child went to sea on a boat, and the destination was unknown. Did you know of a man named Joseph? ”

"Joseph, you know! A Frenchman, the exchange of Egyptian prisoners of war was signed with him. You've seen him too! What do you ask him for? Li Xiu didn't understand why Li Xiao suddenly asked about this.

"Oh! Come to think of it, I did see it. The third child just followed him, he won't go to Egypt......! Thinking of Joseph's origin, Li Xiao suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

In the Ming Dynasty, and in the Ming Dynasty's sphere of influence, Li Hu can do whatever he wants. But when he arrives in the Middle East, who will sell him Li Xiao's face. With only two or three hundred men, albeit with the most advanced weapons. But what the fuck do you know how many people are there in the entire Middle East? A bullet that kills a person can also drain the bullets you brought with you.

I won't wake up one morning and hear the news of Li Hu's death......!

"To Egypt? What is Huzi doing there, he has never been that far in his life. There's no way he's got someone he knows there, damn it! You mean that Joseph? Thinking of the key, Li Xiu's face also changed.

"Are you sure the main force of the British Navy has been destroyed?" Li Xiao thought for a moment and suddenly asked.

"Sure! The British Navy now has only one warship left that has not been built, except for one warship under repair. It is estimated that there will not be much combat power in two years! Moreover, we have been in a state of crushing in terms of naval equipment. Li Xiu couldn't stand Li Xiao's leapfrog thinking.

"That's good! You go to the Lushun shipyard now, and the town has been repaired. You can take the town as far as Singapore City, and then take your fleet and marines to the Middle East. Remember, be sure to bring the tiger back. His temperament will cause trouble in the Middle East. There, no one gave me face. ”

"Perhaps, there will be people who deliberately want to kill the tiger. Let our anger pour out to the Middle East, and achieve the purpose of killing people with a knife. After all these years, Li Xiu immediately understood that things would not be so simple.

"Hmmm! Borrow a knife to kill. Kill the British with our sword, or borrow our sword to kill the French. Huzi, it's really worrying. When I get to the Middle East, even if I kidnap you, I have to tie people back to me.

If you run into obstacles! Kill! "Since it is an extraterritorial war, Li Xiao will not care about the casualties of the locals at all.

The Daming ironclad ship is invincible in the current world, and it will not encounter any opponents when sailing on the ocean. Of course, the last fiasco in Mumbai stemmed from Li Xiu's carelessness. And the ignorance of mines as a weapon!

No matter how good the British are, it is impossible for them to lay mines everywhere on the vast sea. They could only blockade a few ports to a limited extent, preventing the Ming navy from landing. The fleet sailed on the vast Indian Ocean without the slightest obstacle.

"Let Zhenyuan go back to Singapore City by himself, I'll go back by airship tonight." Big brother, don't worry, I will bring Huzi back to you no matter what. My father and sister died early, and our family is left with a few brothers and little sisters. Couldn't be less! ”

"Good! It's hard for you to make a trip, and the things in the northwest involve too much energy. At a critical time for his mother, something like this happened in Guanzhong. What a failure! Li Xiao thought of the things in the northwest and sighed helplessly.

This kind of emotion is not easy to show in front of others, and it can only be revealed in front of Li Xiu. Sometimes those who are in a position of superiority also have to bear unbearable weights. The saying that with great power comes great responsibility is not just talk.

"It's not a failure, at least we have captured Hami. The fourth child is trying to find a suitable way to build a railway. As long as Hami is connected to the train, we can really wedge a nail in the Western Regions. If you want to attack the Western Regions in the future, you only need to use Hami as your forward base. ”

"You're right! The Western Regions was too big, too vast. We need to move forward step by step, and it is better to encroach step by step than to cross the flood border. The people of the Western Regions always say that the Han people are water, they are stones. After a flood, the stones are always exposed. For thousands of years, this law has not changed.

The general of the Han family, Huo Quai, once shocked the Western Regions. During the Tang Dynasty, the iron cavalry of the Tang Dynasty also stepped there. But in the end, it's all a passing thing. In the final analysis, the foundation is still not solid. This time, I'm going to take it one step at a time. Okay, you go back and get ready, go to sea and go to the Middle East as soon as possible. Bring the tiger back! Li Xiao knew that now was not the time to speak, although he really wanted to talk to Li Xiu.

"Knowing the big brother, I will bring the tiger back." Li Xiu turned around and walked out of Li Xiao's study.

In the study, Li Xiao walked to the edge of the huge map and carefully stared at the Middle East, which was too far away. For Daming, the Middle East is still too far away. But Daming needs the Middle East, thinking that there is oil there. Only when the oil is controlled, can the gasoline engine be fully rolled out. It's not like now, getting a few airships and picking at the ropes.
