"You guys, is it better to send charcoal in the snow, or is it better to put the icing on the cake?"

Everyone looked at each other, and one of them stood up and said, "Head, sending charcoal in the snow is to help the surname Liu, and the icing on the cake is to help Dongshan Qianzhuang, right?" ”

The man surnamed Li nodded, his subordinates looked at each other again, and this time the Zhan man stood up and said, "Head, can't you continue to watch the fire from the other side?" ”

That's right, isn't watching the fire from across the strait a strategy that the man surnamed Li set at the beginning, why did he suddenly change it?

The men surnamed Li also figured out why there was a sudden change and looked at him one after another.

"Hey, I saw that they fought so well, some of them couldn't hold back."

Only half of the explanation given by the man surnamed Li was telling the truth: he did see that the two sides were fighting too well, and his hands were a little itchy.

The early stage of this offensive and defensive battle can be described as garbage time throughout the whole process, but when Furlong's machine gun is powerful, it is instantly exciting.

First of all, Liu Yifeng's calm response forcibly pulled the absolute disadvantage to a relative disadvantage, which relied on Liu Yifeng's personal martial arts and Li Hongji's systematic training of everyone.

But if there are only these, time will not be on Liu Yifeng's side, and they will lose sooner or later if they drag it on, at this time, they will become the winners and losers by the Ao Bai of the explorers a day in advance.

It was a stroke of genius to control the Fran cannon and shoot a shot, and if the outcome was decided, the four people could be said to be the heroes who saved everything.

It's a pity that at this time, Xia Jie began to play at a super level.

Although I haven't known Xia Jie for a long time, the man surnamed Li, who has read countless people, has already seen that this is a typical reader who is more than enough than the top: relying on himself to read some books, he looks down on people who have not read, but he actually doesn't have much real ability.

Before this kind of people changed their own dynasty, most of them could only go to the imperial examination, but in the Wanli Dynasty, they could take refuge in the new force of the commercial bank.

In ancient China, agriculture and commerce were always suppressed, but even in the Han Dynasty, where agriculture and commerce originated, merchants were never a group without resources in their hands. It's just that in the process of realizing their resources into social status, it is difficult to be angry.

Liu Yifeng is not a real business house boss in this era, he has not yet come into contact with the real chamber of commerce of the Wanli Dynasty, and he does not know that in fact, the taxes on merchants in this Wanli Dynasty are much heavier than the Wanli Dynasty he knows. Otherwise, how can we support the Beiting Metropolitan Protectorate, the Annam Metropolitan Protectorate, Dongshan Prefecture and the ongoing Western Expedition?

But the merchant class was still willing to pay the heavy taxes, because the Wanli Dynasty finally opened the door to them to raise their social status.

Therefore, in the past, all dynasties and generations thought that if they read the books of sages, they would be scholars in the world, and they gradually stopped despising the merchant class. It became a routine operation for the top of the merchant class to borrow a boat and go to sea to wait for the day when the chicken and dog ascended to heaven.

However, those who will be chosen this way are still the part of the scholars who are not very good at reading, and those who are really capable will still go to the imperial examination. And this part of the scholars has a shortcoming, that is, the hands are high and the eyes are low.

Xia Jie is this kind of person.

If the man surnamed Li sat in his place, and after investigating clearly where Liu Yifeng knew where there was a gold mine, he would not choose to grab it back, but first investigate the status of the Maritime Safety Bureau in this matter and Liu Yifeng's background.

After the investigation is clear, as long as the Maritime Safety Bureau does not intervene and Liu Yifeng's background is not the military of Dongshan Prefecture, then he will take the momentum of Dongshan Qianzhuang and directly negotiate with Liu Yifeng to buy shares, and Liu Yifeng will directly threaten to report the Maritime Safety Bureau if he refuses.

In the end, he slowly squeezed Liu Yifeng out by means of wooing, buying, and differentiating.

It seems to be time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it is the safest, because once the gold mine has any problems, Liu Yifeng is the one who bears the blame, and Dongshan Qianzhuang can easily take himself out.

People with high hands and low eyes are often accustomed to only giving orders, rather than leading everyone to complete it together, and belong to the leaders who are most hated by subordinates who stand in the rear and blindly command.

And once this kind of leadership breaks the routine and starts to take the lead in doing something that everyone thinks should be done, the appeal is strong.

So Xia Jie's groundbreaking super-level performance made Ao Bai and them rush to the hospital, forcing the craftsman to load the first cannon and shoot it forcibly.

There was a remnant of gunpowder in the breech of the Furlong gun, which had to be cleaned up. Under normal circumstances, a gun is equipped with at least 2 gunners, and it will be cleaned up immediately after firing. But one of the two craftsmen that Zhang Shaozhu allocated to Xia Jie had already been killed, and Xia Jie was in a hurry before, and the only remaining craftsman had no time to clean up the cannon chamber after shooting, he knew very well that there was residual gunpowder in it, and there was a possibility of exploding.

Sure enough, he expected it, and the whole battle situation became even again. If you don't consider the bias of his inner position, the man surnamed Li, who should be neutral, should have sighed that it was a big show, with twists and turns, which was really exciting, but he seemed to have a bias in his heart, so he didn't say the other half of the head, that is, he had already favored Liu Yifeng.

Honest people are the most able to deceive people, and people who know everything but don't know much and are extremely confident are the easiest to be deceived.

Cui Zhiyong is the former, and the man surnamed Li is the latter.

Cui Zhiyong is an honest person who doesn't explain, and the man surnamed Li suffers because he has too much experience, and he even has some understanding of the Ming army system, but he doesn't know much about it, and many things are also half-understood. It's just that he is self-confident and has a certain ability, and he also uses his own set of theories to forcibly give a complete understanding.

This led to Cui Zhiyong's loopholes, which were perfectly rationalized by him with some of his own guesses, and he really thought that Liu Yifeng's backstage was the military.

If he could, he really wanted to hug the military, the thickest thigh in the Ming Dynasty, and maybe he could rely on the military to achieve a class jump in the future.

But under normal circumstances, it is difficult for him to hug the military's thigh, so he has been moving his mind to hug the military's thigh through Liu Yifeng since he captured Cui Zhiyong.

Although he didn't say what his other half thought, after all, his subordinates have been with him for many years, and with a tacit understanding, the Zhan man said: "Head, I won't say anything about watching the fire from the other side, the icing on the cake The surname Xia exposed the artillery, what should I do if I liquidate it afterwards?" In the end, it is this charcoal in the snow, looking at the current situation, it may be to die in the end. ”

The man surnamed Li watched the change of the situation silently, half of the people on Liu Yifeng's side jumped off the camp wall, desperately attacking the defense line in front of the artillery position, and Aobai's side was similar, trying to kill the craftsman.

Everyone on the side of the shelling position put out the fire under the command of the craftsmen, and carried away the two furlong cannons and the matching ammunition. At present, the remaining two guns have been successfully placed in another place, and the chambers are being cleaned. Fools can see that the next step is to put on the shell, and when that time comes, Liu Yifeng's side will have no chance at all.

The man surnamed Li was on the tree on the hillside about 2,300 meters away from the battlefield, and he could see so clearly by relying on his condescending position. When they decided to participate in the battle and rushed to the battlefield, it was estimated that they could only collect Liu Yifeng's body.

Sighing, the man surnamed Li could only give up the idea of sending charcoal in the snow. Thinking of this, he was very depressed, and he didn't look like he was going to look down, and was ready to go down the tree.

But he heard the Cham man suddenly shouting: "Over there, there are cavalry!" ”

(I slept for a day yesterday, and the highest fever reached 40.1 degrees, with a sore throat, sore joints, and a splitting headache, but I got better tonight, and I barely ate something and got up to write this chapter.) I'm not satisfied with it myself, so I'll change it when it's over. Also, who knows why the loss of taste will leave a reaction to sweetness alone? ）
