Li Xiao put away the letter and glanced at the two old guys who were looking at each other. Seeing that Ao Canghai was still holding the flintlock gun and not letting go, Li Xiao walked to the old man Yu and said with a smile: "To be honest,

How far can this thing hit?"

"Six hundred steps, you have seen this too." Mr. Yu said pretending to be innocent.

"Six hundred steps, is it him? He's almost seventy, even if his eyesight is not blurry. There is a pig six hundred steps away. Ask him whether he can see clearly or not. Don't fool me. If you keep fooling me again, I'll let him go.

Let the old guy take another shot. Let's see if he can still hit."

Li Xiao could see clearly that although the dum bomb was powerful, the wounds on the pigs were obviously too severe. Even the dum bomb could not cause such a big wound.

Besides, a pig was shot six hundred paces away. Li Xiao didn't believe that this old man Yu Nao Inatomi was a sniper.

The only explanation is that the two old guys cheated. They probably put gunpowder on the pig's leg to explode the wound. At that time, everyone was looking at the new musket, but no one looked at the pig. Not even Li Xiao

He didn't even look at the pig. He only looked at the pig after the gunshot.

"You are like a monkey when your hair is stuck on you. Don't tell Lao Ao. This gun can hit six hundred steps, but its accuracy is hard to say. But at a distance of two hundred steps, there is absolutely no problem. Where do you point?

Where to fight!" Mr. Yu assured Li Xiao, patting his chest.

Lao Lao Youzi actually refers to people like Yu Lao, who are actually the smartest people. No matter where they go, they are slick and slick, and it is not easy to grasp them. Fortunately, the weakness of the old guy is that of these craftsmen.

The orphans, since Li Xiao has raised them, the fisherman will not have second thoughts.

Two hundred steps! This distance is still recognized by Li Xiao. At a distance of 200 meters, the Dum bomb has a strong stopping effect on both people and horses. There should not be much problem in dealing with the Tatars!

"How many guns like this can be modified in the fastest time possible?"

"If you work quickly, you can change one in a day. If you work faster, something may happen!" Mr. Yu thought for a moment and said.

The production of new rifles is very slow. Although Li Xiao has stored many barrels, the grinding work of rifling is very slow, and the big hammer is working hard to build broaching machines. It is hoped that the number of broaching machines can make up for the slow processing problem.

Now if you want to use it urgently, you can only use the existing matchlock gun to modify it.

"I want five guns like this in five days. Be quick!"

"Promise!" Seeing Li Xiao's solemn words, the fisherman immediately clasped his fists and promised.

In Li Xiao's small conference room, Ao Canghai, Man Gui, Yu Lao, and Mao Wenlong were all sitting on chairs. Li Xiu stood behind Li Xiao, and on the table was a letter from Ji Liao Governor Wang Zai Jin.

Winter has come again, the war horses have fattened up, and the Tartars are getting ready to move again.

This time the Tatars' target was not the Ming Dynasty, but North Korea. Nurhachi wanted to have a stable flank and rear when attacking the Ming Dynasty.

In the two battles of Zhenjiang Fort, Nurhachi was completely defeated. In the first time, the commander Tong Yangxing died in the battle. In the second time, all the food and fodder prepared for Amin were burned to ashes by a fire.

Nurhachi suspected that this was done by Koreans pretending to be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. He did not think that the Ming army dared to go to his rear to cause trouble.

Amin failed and was scolded by Nurhachi. This time Nurhachi sent him and veteran Jueluo Baishan to lead the two blue flags to attack North Korea. It was necessary to make the North Korean Li Dynasty surrender, so that there would be stability when he let go of attacking the Ming Dynasty.

's flanks.

The Jin Yiwei of the Ming Dynasty were not vegetarians. After hearing the news, they immediately reported it to Wang Zaijin, and Wang Zaijin then thought of Mao Wenlong floating far away on the sea.

He ordered Mao Wenlong to set out from the sea to help North Korea defend Pyongyang. Also sent out at the same time was Deputy General Zhao Shujiao. He would board the ship at Shanhaiguan and head for North Korea.

"I think this battle can be fought. North Korea has a lot of minerals and timber. These are all needed on our island. And Brother Xiao also said that we want to build ships. If we want to build ships, we must have timber. These timbers on our island

No. It's best to use pine and cypress wood that are over a hundred years old for shipbuilding, and there are a lot of them in North Korea.

Besides, although the King of Korea's Lee Dynasty is fatuous and the people in the country are poor, the nobles are extravagant and extravagant. The soap and glass we produce can be sold to them to supplement the expenses on the island.

There are more than a thousand people on the island now, and these people are eating a lot of horses. If this continues, we will just be sitting on nothing." Others did not speak, and Mao Wenlong shook his head and started talking.

Ao Canghai glanced at Mao Wenlong, who felt good about himself, but Man Gui didn't even bother to glance at him.

The old fisherman nodded: "Building a ship does require a century-old aniseed pine wood, and it also needs cypress wood for beams. In addition, the iron ore from Korea is of very good quality. When I was in North Korea, I forged weapons with iron ore from Korea."

, much better than what we forge from Daming iron ore."

"Since there are so many benefits, let's do it! It's not a problem for us to train soldiers every day, soldiers still have to fight." Ao Canghai also agreed with Yu Lao's words.

"I have nothing to say, just do it. Everyone is fighting the Tartars!" Man Gui said dully.

He was the most depressed one. Mongolians are all born cavalry. But Mangui couldn't be a cavalry, and there was only so much space on the island. He almost reached the end of the horse before even sweating.

How can I not be happy now that I heard that there is a war going on?

"Since everyone agrees to fight, let's go to Goryeo to fight this war. By the way, we can also discuss business with the King of Goryeo and get some money back. Brother Man will set off first with the cavalry. Our shipping capacity is not enough. Your cavalry

Let’s set off first. After arriving in Korea, we’ll make a stop first.

When the ship comes back, Mr. Ao and I will board the ship with the artillery team and the musketry team and go to North Korea. Li Xiu and Mr. Mao will stay on the island, leaving one company of the musketry team and one team of the artillery team. Listen to Li

Hugh’s command!”

Li Xiaocai is worried about Mao Wenlong taking power. The most he can do now is to let him become a primary school teacher.

Mao Wenlong didn't interrupt. Regardless of whether he participated or not, he would always get a share of the credit after fighting. Where can you find such good things like lying down and making meritorious deeds?

As long as Li Xiao's Pi Island still carries the banner of the Ming Dynasty, he will have to pay for his memorial tablet. The Ming court only knows that the boss of Pi Island is Mao Wenlong. So Mao Wenlong is not worried that Li Xiao will kill the donkey.

After the meeting, Man Gui took his brothers to the dock. Liu Laoliu mobilized all the ships he could muster to load Man Gui's more than 100 war horses, as well as more than 100 big men.

.

"Brother, I'm going to Shandong this month to haul ore. I'm on the island, so who's going?" Li Xiu asked, looking at the sailing figure going away.

"Let Huzi go, he is old enough to learn some serious things. Let Mr. Yu accompany him. Mr. Yu should be able to handle anything."

"Okay, I'll go tell Huzi."

The plan to attack Zhenjiang Fort again suddenly appeared in Li Xiao's mind. However, Li Xiao quickly rejected this tempting idea. No one will trip over the same stone twice.

Nurhaci has already fallen twice at Zhenjiang Fort, and he will never fall a third time. This time, he will send heavy troops to garrison no matter what.

There is no dock in Zhenjiang Fort, so it is difficult for trebuchets to land. The musketeers do not have the fire cover of the trebuchets, and they can easily be jumped by the cavalry.

At present, if the musketeers under my command encounter the Eight Banners cavalry, they will only be slaughtered.

It's better to go to North Korea and listen to Mao Wenlong and Yu Lao say that Pyongyang is also a fortified city. With the advantages of a fortified city, even if there is not much victory, there will definitely not be much loss. I don't believe it, the Tatar soldiers' horses can charge up the city wall.

.

Besides, Li Xiao also wants to see what the character of the city where *** lives will be in the next year.
