In the wee hours of the morning, the Doge's Palace was ablaze. The fire was so big that people couldn't get close to it from tens of meters away. Li Xiao didn't have anything to do about the fire, he could only watch the fire burn.

After the fire, there were countless charred corpses, and it was not clear which was Yang He and which was Yang He's son.

The burn is not very thorough, except for the human form, which is a ghost. There was no way, Li Xiao could only order to dig a big pit and burn it again. It was burned cleanly, and the ashes were sprinkled into the Pearl River, completely crushing the bones and scattering ashes.

The city of Guangzhou was handed over to Li Dingguo, and Fu Ren'an, the prefect of Guangzhou, ran out of the city with his family on the first night of Yang He's rebellion.

"Handsome! Xiaguan is really not Yang He's party, and Xiaguan really wanted to send someone to report to you that night. Can...... I really can't get by, so I can only hide in the countryside with my family. The lower official is the third year of the Apocalypse, and it is the lower official taken by Mr. Sun. Just ask Mr. Sun, and the lower officials don't dare to lie. Fu Ren'an knelt at Li Xiao's feet and cried like a doll in a month.

Li Xiao nodded, and when he discussed it with Sun Chengzong, he mentioned this Fu Ren'an. is indeed a student of Sun Chengzong, and the Guangzhou prefect was recommended by Sun Chengzong.

"There is no new decree coming down, you are still the prefect of Guangzhou. Now, you are accompanying Li Dingguo into the city to reassure the people, and you must restore social order and public order in Guangzhou as soon as possible. If there is a disturbance, it shall be dealt with strictly and severely in accordance with the "Da Ming Law". Li Xiao didn't choose to move Ren'an.

Now what Guangzhou City needs most is to restore social order, Fu Ren'an has been the prefect of Guangzhou for three years, and he is still familiar with the situation in Guangzhou City. Now that he is helping Li Dingguo, I believe that social order in Guangzhou will be restored soon. As for the whole of Guangdong Province, it can only be carried out after the subsequent deployment of the garrison and the arrival of the officials rearranged by Sun Chengzong.

"No! Xiaguan Xie Dashuai, your great kindness! Fu Ren'an was so excited that he wanted to die, he didn't expect Li Xiao to let him go. is an official in Guangzhou, and it is really impossible not to hook up with Yang He. He Fu Ren'an's ass is not clean, I didn't expect Li Xiao to offend him.

While thanking Li Xiao in my heart, I was also glad that my teacher was Sun Chengzong. If it weren't for this big Buddha, maybe he would have been thrown into the pit and burned.

After Fu Ren'an retreated, Li Xiao said to Sun Xing behind him: "Order Nie Dayong to march into Guangxi and control the entire territory of Guangxi as soon as possible." At the same time, it should be noted that the Han and Yi in Guangxi are mixed, and the situation is very complicated. It is necessary to use both force and tenderness, and cannot blindly fight and kill. ”

"No!"

"Tell Deng Yongchang, sail the boat, let's go back to Beijing!"

This battle killed Yang He, which can be regarded as the biggest hidden danger of the Ming Dynasty. The rest of the people in Yunnan Mu Tianbo and Jin Changyuan in Guizhou, they should know what to do when they go down with an order. dared to refuse the orders of the imperial court, Yang He was a good example.

Walk along the coastline and inspect all the way.

To be honest, the development of Guangzhou Port is really flattering. Because of Yang He's relationship, it is impossible for the imperial court to invest money in the transformation of Guangzhou Port. As for Yang He's money, a considerable part of them asked people to find connections and bought a large eight-grain rifle at a high price. This has led to the stagnation of the renovation of Guangzhou Port due to lack of funds!

The port of Quanzhou is different, the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road has now completely become a military port. There was no way, the position of the largest port in Fujian's maritime trade was snatched away by Fuzhou. Farther away is Huating Port, which has a more magical name in the future - Shanghai.

Because Li Xiao started in the north, Liaodong became the heavy industry base of the Ming Dynasty. Shandong has become the base of light industry in the Ming Dynasty, and the two provinces are lined with factories. The domestic sales of the produced things are all docked at Huating Port, Fuzhou Port, and Guangzhou Port.

For export, it is directly loaded on ships and transported directly to Xinjiapo along the coastline across the South China Sea.

The commercial center of Daming has been in Jiangnan for more than 200 years, and now it is completely reversed. The commercial centers are now all concentrated in a few port towns in the north! In the ports of Lushun, Gaizhou, Jinzhou, Tianjin, Yantai and Qingdao, a large number of merchant ships set sail every day.

After replenishing Quanzhou, Li Xiao went north along the coastline. The further north you go, the more ships there are on the sea. Most of them are sailing ships, these are ships that run domestic trade, because it is cheap to walk along the coastline, so there is still a large market.

However, there are also many sailing ships, which can also run domestic trade, but the speed is much faster, and the tonnage is very large and can carry a lot of cargo. There is already a faint meaning to replace sailboats!

Occasionally, large steam-engine cargo ships can be seen, which are not much different from later ships, except for a few large chimneys on their hulls. Usually these ships carry six or eight boilers and undertake the task of ocean voyages.

Lushun Shipyard and Qingdao Shipyard are both factories specializing in the production of warships, in addition to Yantai Shipyard, Tianjin Shipyard, Jinzhou Shipyard all produce this steel steam engine ship.

This kind of ship has a large cargo capacity, a long range and a high speed. It is simply the love of those maritime merchants, and many maritime merchants are asking people to find relationships in order to get a production order. As for the maritime merchants of the Japanese and Korean countries who want to order, don't even think about it. Daming's orders can't be collected, how can I have spare time to build a ship for you.

The shipyards have only been in operation for two years, and there are already more than a dozen smoking ships sailing on the sea. It is estimated that in a few years, the 10,000-ton ship should appear.

The further north you go, the higher the degree of industrialization, and the port of Qingdao even already has a power plant. At night, the lights are on, and the shipyard is busy. The order for the warships of the Navy has never been broken. Qingdao Shipyard and Lushun Shipyard are at full capacity, and they cannot complete the order. The main task of building a warship by the Ministry of Industry was urged by Li Xiu to almost hang himself, and finally Li Xiao's mediation could be regarded as settling down.

Ate seafood all the way and checked out various ports along the coast. In October, Li Xiao finally returned to Tianjin Port. When I left, the leaves had just sprouted, and when I returned, the water of the Haihe River was already cold.

Tianjin Port has completely turned into a modern port, with wide wharves and giant cranes. Dock workers are busy, and there are boatloads of goods piled up to be transported.

The battleship leaned against the dock, and Li Xiao, who was far away, saw Li Lin and Xiaoyu standing in the autumn wind.

I haven't seen him for more than half a year, and Li Lin has grown taller again. The little adult gave Li Xiao a salute, and said in his mouth: Daddy's hard work and other words. When you hear it, it's taught by adults!

Xiaoyu is getting more and more beautiful, and under the background of the red tweed windbreaker, her pretty face looks even fairer. The height also seems to be a little taller, and when I look down, I understand that someone actually has tinkered out with high heels.

He carries a crocodile leather bag on his arms and cowhide high heels on his feet. He was wearing a red tweed trench coat and a pair of sunglasses on his face. If you don't look at the hairstyle, the whole is an urban white-collar beauty.

"A gift for you!" Li Xiao smiled and took a giant macaw from Sun Xing's hand.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Seeing that there was a gift, Li Lin's little face immediately smiled toothlessly. Little people just can't look at these little animals. What a cat! Dogs!

Of course, the Li family is now a big family. Large families should also pay attention to pets! Especially with an uncle like Li Hu, there are tigers, leopards, golden eagles, Hai Dongqing, and everything else at home. It was enough to open a zoo, but in the end, Li Xiao had no choice but to get these things to Tongzhou Zoo. Li Lin wanted to see it, so he could only go to the zoo to see it.

In the future, if you have pets at home, you can only keep these miniaturization, which will not hurt people. Otherwise, the backyard of the Li family is full of women and children, and if one or two are taken away, it will be troublesome to beat.

Seeing the parrot, Xiaoyu was a little sad. thought that in Liaoyang City, my brother gritted his teeth and bought him a parrot called Xiaobai. It's a pity that he was later caught by Hai Dongqing of the Tartars.

Now when you see a parrot thinking about a parrot, you will naturally be sad.

"For you!" took Xiaoyu's hand and stuffed a bag of gems into his hand.

The specialty of that part of the island of Ceylon is the gemstones, and they are large gems. Thinking that there were many female dependents in the family, Li Xiao brought back a lot. Inside this bag for Xiaoyu, there is a huge sapphire, known as the Heart of the Ocean, which is said to be priceless.

Li Xiao didn't care much about this kind of thing, he preferred pure crystals to gemstones. The glass made by Daming, the process is still not up to par, and there are often large bubbles.

While it doesn't affect crafts such as mirrors, the scope for snipers is a bit less impressive. There is no way, it can only be made by grinding natural clear crystal. Not only is it time-consuming, but the cost is also high.

The Jinzhou Sniper School has trained a large number of snipers, but there are not enough sniper rifles. A lot of the boys can only carry the big eight and use them as sniper rifles.

"Thank you, big brother!" Sure enough, women still love these stones that will sparkle. Xiaoyu rarely thanked Li Xiao, although the expression on her face was still a little unnatural, but it was already a great improvement.

Since Xiaoyu's incident, this child has been very gloomy for a while. Now it's a gratifying progression to finally look like a normal girl, know how to dress up, and know how to like gemstones.

Waving his hand at the officials, Li Xiao took Li Lin and Xiaoyu into the carriage.

A large number of cavalry escorted the carriage all the way to the Tianjin railway station to take the train. In the carriage of the special train, Li Lin pestered his father to play backgammon. Li Xiao is a master of backgammon, so he is naturally not afraid of his son.

I don't know, I'm shocked. Li Xiao was actually killed by his son and had no power to fight back, which made Li Xiao very surprised.

"Huh! My sister-in-law is a master of playing backgammon, and she has been training Lin'er a lot these days. Unexpectedly, big brother, you are not an opponent. Xiao Yu slapped on the side, watching Li Xiao being abused by his son.

On the way from Tianjin to Tongzhou, Li Xiao has never won a game. When he got out of the car, Li Linzhi was full of pride, and Li Xiao hung his head. Tonight, I'll have to ask Tokugawa Chihime for advice.

At Tongzhou Railway Station, there is naturally a large group of officials standing and waiting in the autumn wind. Li Xiao waved to everyone, then boarded the carriage and went straight to his mansion. When I go out, I am floating on the sea for most of the year, and it is the time to scratch the wall, who wants to take care of you guys.

When I got home, I naturally closed the door and the whole family ate and drank. Dare to do something unspeakable, and see if you can make Tokugawa Chihime's belly bigger. Li Lin is a child, and he seems a little lonely.

(5,000 words are omitted here......!) ）

After recuperating at home for three days, Sun Chengzong and Zhang Huangyan came together.

"What? Avoiding me and Mr. Sun? Zhang Huangyan didn't have anything good to say when he entered the door.

"Ceylon is like that, naturally because it doesn't want to admit its mistakes to us. At the beginning, I said that I would not use the Ming army. But in the end, Yuan Chonghuan was sent overseas. Handsome! This military expenditure has not yet been settled, and this year's military budget has been overspent again. Sun Chengzong rarely saw Li Xiao's jokes, standing on the side and singing and talking cross talk with Zhang Huangyan.

Li Xiao gritted his teeth, but he didn't hear it. "Junko! Serve tea to Mr. Sun and Mr. Zhang. ”

Junko quickly brought two cups of tea, and the two old foxes laughed while holding the tea and sipping it.

This is not quite in line with the rules of the rivers and lakes, and the tea served in the officialdom is actually an ornament. When one of the parties is about to end the conversation, they will take a sip of the teacup. At this time, the entourage around you will shout, serve tea and send off guests! That's when the guests have to say goodbye!

But when these two came to the Li family, there had never been such a rule.

Not only did he drink a lot at Li's house, but sometimes he also took it from Li's house.

The Shifeng on the edge of the West Lake has only more than one acre of tea trees, and the tea produced in a year is divided into three families, and each family is only two or three catties.

Li Xiao is not at home all the year round, so he naturally drinks less. These two shameless old foxes, as soon as they arrived at the Li family, they asked for Shifeng Longjing by name, not only did they have to drink away, but they also had to be a little smoother.

Li Xiao knew that these two old guys wanted to embarrass themselves. At the beginning, he insisted on going his own way, and he had to fight this battle for Li Hu. It's good now, but the losses will be huge. A big hole was poked out of the account by Li Xiao, and money was needed to make up for it.

"I made a mistake in this battle!" Li Xiao sighed helplessly, and if there was a mistake, he would admit that he was very single.

"Oh! Rare! The two old foxes looked at each other.

"First, you shouldn't spoil Li Hu and confuse state affairs with family affairs. Second, they made improper plans and underestimated the enemy's rash advance. Three...... I shouldn't have used a Japanese person. ”

"Oh! The wrong use of the Japanese people, they are not good at fighting? The two old fellows heard the third and turned their heads to look at each other again.

"Nope! They fought very bravely, even braver than our Ming field army. Li Xiao recalled the bravery of the Japanese army and couldn't help but shake his head.

"That's ......!" The two old foxes didn't understand even more.

"It was because they were so brave that I realized I was using the wrong person. The army is not a good doll, it needs to be trained in iron and blood. The more tempered the troops, the more capable they are of fighting.

After this battle, I saw the fierceness of the Japanese army. On the other hand, the Second Division was arrogant before facing the enemy. The slightest setback in the battle will be fearful of the enemy and hesitant to move forward.

Good soldiers are fought in battle, and I have protected them all these years for fear that they will cause a lot of casualties. This is not right! I don't want one day when the Japanese army will be stronger than the Ming army. Then our children and grandchildren will have enough of their suffering. ”

PS: I wish book friends a happy National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival!
