Chapter 23
Safety is indeed a big issue. After all, Li Xiao has several children with him. Just by being ruthless, he might be able to make people like Master Wu have scruples. Once he encounters a robber who kills without blinking an eye, his life can only be It is ten deaths and no life.
But we really have to wait until next year...! According to the historical trend, the Tatars will attack Shenyang in a few months. Then they will attack Liaoyang. Yuan Yingtai will also die in the Battle of Liaoyang. The famous Qi Army will also be killed in the Battle of Hunhe. destruction.
"This...! I want to discuss it with my younger brothers and sisters before I reply to the eldest son." Delaying is easier than refusing, and it also gives Yuan Ang face. After all, Yuan Ang helped himself today.
"Okay! Brother Xiao has thought about it. Just take care of it and tell him." Seeing Li Xiao's hesitation, Yuan An stopped insisting. As long as he stays in Liaoyang, his father has the final say on how to deal with it.
The two preoccupied people soon lost interest in eating, but Li Xiu ate the melon belly balls. Before leaving, he also packed two roast chickens for his younger brothers and sisters. As for the meal tent, the servants of the Yuan family had already prepared it. Paid.
Back at the inn, Li Xiu distributed the roasted chicken to his younger brothers and sisters. Xiaoyu took the chicken drumsticks that his second brother had torn off. She sniffed them with her little nose and immediately showed an intoxicated look. Speaking of which, this child had never eaten a few times. Roast chicken.
"Brother, eat chicken drumsticks!" She was not tall enough, so Xiaoyu tried her best to focus on her toes, trying to bring the drumsticks to her elder brother's mouth.
He picked up Xiaoyu and pretended to take a bite of the chicken leg. The little girl's face changed greatly with anxiety, but Li Xiao did not bite. After kissing his sister's little face, he snatched another chicken leg from Li Hu.
The two chicken drumsticks in his hand turned into one. In order to prevent the tragedy from happening again, Li Hu quickly stuffed the drumstick into his mouth, rinsed it inside and spat out a bone. Then his cheeks were bulging like a squirrel, and he watched Chicken wings in the hands of fourth brother Li Hao.
During dinner, Ao Canghai came. He also brought a pack of pig head meat. Li Xiao immediately asked Li Xiu to buy some vegetables, some cakes and wine. The pig head meat burrito was very satisfying to eat.
"That Gou Laoba probably won't survive tonight!" Ao Canghai took a sip of wine and spit out the alcohol.
With Ao Canghai's status, he only needs to throw the prisoner into the cell. And then give some hints to the old prisoners in the cell. It is simply a luxury for Gou Laoba to survive. No one will care about this kind of thing afterwards. To sum up the security situation in the prison , and then strengthen the study of safety knowledge. And then... everyone went to sleep!
"There's something I want to tell Mr. Ao!" Li Xiao carefully used chopsticks to place the pig's head on the cake, and then brushed the sauce on the pig's head.
"What's the matter?" Ao Canghai took the cake rolled by Li Xiao and took a bite, making oil flow from the corner of his mouth. The feeling of happiness immediately permeated every cell in his body.
"That's right! I want to go to Guanli and make a living in the capital. Let's Liaoyang...! I'm afraid...!" Li Xiao made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"If you don't tell me, I also have this idea. We can't stay in Liaodong. News came from Shenyang two months ago. It is said that the Tatars in Fushun have been mobilized frequently, and the imperial court has drafted white pole soldiers to Liaodong. As for the Zhejiang soldiers, I have been in Liaodong for almost two years. I think there will be a war sooner or later." Ao Canghai whispered to Li Xiao.
"You don't think highly of our Ming Dynasty's soldiers either?" Li Xiao asked in surprise.
"Hmph! The only ones who can fight are the Zhejiang soldiers. I heard that the Baigan soldiers are also good at fighting, but I have never seen them. The rest...! Damn it, those soldiers in the military camp now, then the damn soldiers are also
Calling for troops? Have you ever seen someone who starved his own horse to death in order not to fight? I have seen it, not just one or two.
When Marshal Li was alive, the heads of such people had long been hung on the flagpole to dry. But now...! Yuan Jinglue can't even control his soldiers! Why talk about using troops to fight! Just watch, if it really turns out to be Tatar
The soldiers are coming. These soldiers must run faster than rabbits! I am afraid that only Lao Zhou and Da Jinzi are so determined that they will fight to the end." Ao Canghai shook his head, he was very unoptimistic about the upcoming war.
"Master Ao! Let's go together. We will have someone to take care of us when we get to the capital." Li Xiao felt happy. It would be dangerous for his children to go on the road. It would be another thing to follow Ao Canghai on the road. They would meet at least three or five robbers.
Won't be frightened.
"Hey...! I have this idea, but what are we going to eat when we get to the capital? Besides, where are the whole family? If you want to leave, it's not something you can do just by slapping your butt." Ao Canghai took a sip of wine and felt a little confused.
He said helplessly. It’s really not that easy to leave.
"Then stay in Liaoyang and wait to die?"
"It's not enough to wait for death. I guess if the Tatars want to fight, they will have to wait until March or September. At that time, the ground was frozen hard, which was convenient for the cavalry to gallop. Now as long as it snows and melts,
Liaodong has turned into a muddy pond and there is no way for people to leave, not even for horses. We still have time, so when we go back I will sum it up. I will give you an accurate message tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"
"It's done!" Ao Canghai explained that if he believed it the day after tomorrow, he would have to wait for two more days. The Tatar soldiers would not come here in just these two days! Ao Canghai was a veteran military officer in Liaodong. When he was in North Korea, he even fought with the Tatars.
Zibing fought side by side. What he said should be more reliable.
Lying on the bed of the inn, Li Xiao kept thinking about what to do in the future. The young Li Hu snored so loudly that Li Xiao wanted to kick him to death. Because this guy always interrupted his thoughts at the right time.
Since I couldn't sleep, I simply wrapped myself in a quilt and sat up. Looking at the cold moonlight outside, I thought about what I should do in the future.
This winter, the entire Liaodong will rot. As Ao Canghai said, the current Ming army is definitely no match for Nurhachi’s Eight Banners soldiers. The battle in Shenyang did not last more than one day, and Liaoyang did not last more than a few days. After the Ming Dynasty was completely defeated in Liaodong
It took a long time to build the famous Guan-Ningjin line of defense. And until the fall of the Ming Dynasty, Nurhaci and his descendants did not completely break through this line of defense.
This is the general trend, and I cannot change anything with my current ability. If I want to protect my brothers and sisters, the best way is to make a living within the customs.
But what are you going to do in the customs? Think about what people in time travel novels do, make wine? It doesn’t seem possible. In these days, wine making is controlled by the state. If you want to make wine, you can make wine.
Show off your cooking skills like Yun Ye? It doesn’t seem possible. I don’t have the two brushes like Yun Ye. I never cooked much when I was at home. After I joined the army, I often helped cook in the cooking class. Speaking of cooking skills, I am just a
Cooking class level.
As for burning glass, that is a university question. Not everyone can turn sand into crystal clear glass and then cheat money all over the world.
What to do? This thing needs to be consumables, preferably daily necessities. The most important thing is that the profit must be high. If you want to make a name for yourself in this world, you can't do it without money.
What is it?
Li Xiao thought for a long time, but couldn't think of a reason.
Thinking too much, he felt a little hungry. Li Xiao walked to the candle, picked up the fire stick and wanted to light the candle.
