Li Hao felt like he was going to die. He had been scrubbing the deck all morning. His whole arm was stiff, and because he had held the brush for too long, every knuckle in his hand opened and groaned in pain. Lying on the deck

In the corner, he leaned against the sail to bask in the sun for a while. Li Hao felt that every muscle in his body was extremely sore. If possible, he wanted to just lie like this until the end of time.

I don’t know why, the eldest brother insisted on sending him to the boat. The second brother led him on the boat, threw himself to a guy with a scar on his face, and stopped asking. I finally understood what Tiantian should not do,

It makes the earth inoperable.

"What's wrong? Are you dead? If not, get up and eat." There was a sharp pain in the thigh, and the scarred face appeared above the head.

"Why are you kicking me?" Li Hao rubbed his thigh and looked in horror at the man with a ferocious face and muscles as strong as stone.

"I am willing, what do you think? Hit me, hit me." Scar beat his chest and stared at Li Hao with wolf-like eyes as if staring at a prey.

Li Hao's eyes quickly moved away. He really didn't dare to meet such eyes.

"If you don't dare to hit me, then don't ask questions when I beat you from now on. Get up and go to dinner with me."

After receiving another kick on the butt, Li Hao quickly got up and followed Scar down to the cabin.

"Second brother, this is a bit too much. The boss asked you to practice fourth, you can't find such a person to torture him." If Chen Laohu hadn't held on tightly, Li Hu would have rushed over to teach Scar a lesson.

.Although he may not be able to beat him, his brothers can only be bullied by themselves, and Li Hu can't do it even if others lift a finger.

"Master Tiger! There's nothing we can do about it, Second Master. Fourth Master's temper is too broad. He's like dough and can be kneaded by anyone. You must find someone tough to train him and build up his courage.

This scar used to be a pirate from Goryeo. He could catch fish by diving in the sea. He could also beat tigers to death when he got ashore. The most rare thing is that this guy is cruel by nature and likes to tear out people's hearts and eat them alive. I gave Fourth Master to him for training.

You can see that within two years he will be extremely fierce."

"You're going to let such a person train the fourth child?" Li Hu's jaw almost dropped to the ground. Li Hao, who has thin skin and tender flesh, is followed by a man-eating demon. How can this damn thing be reassuring?

"The Marine Corps will be formed in a few days, and my eldest brother has given me positions for a regiment. Scar will be the company commander, and Xiao Hao will be his errand." Li Xiu said coldly and wanted to walk away.

"Wait a moment!" Li Hu grabbed Li Xiu.

"Big brother said that the edge of a sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The temperament of the fourth child cannot be developed without peeling off the skin. Only by following a ruthless character like Scar can he truly develop his heart.

Get hard.

When the boss threw you into the company, have you forgotten what you taught him? We are all brothers. I don’t want people to call him Li Xiao’s younger brother in the future, but call him Li Hao.” Li Xiu patted Li Hu.

shoulder, leaving a stunned Li Hu straight down into the cabin.

Li Hao looked at a piece of stewed mackerel, a plate of rice, and a few salted radish strips. He had no appetite at all. The stewed mackerel had no flavor at all. It was far from what Sister Qiao made. Eat it in

In the mouth, it is no different from eating wood stubble.

Scar, who was next to him, was eating deliciously. When he saw Li Hao not eating, he raised his hand and slapped him: "Eat, if you don't finish it for me, I'll slap you twenty times!"

A burst of laughter came from the cabin. Li Hao's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to offend Scar. He lowered his head and tried hard to put the rice into his mouth.

There was the sound of footsteps, and a pair of leather boots appeared in front of Li Hao. Looking along the boots, Li Hao saw Li Xiao's face.

"Brother!" Tears flowed down like a flood. Li Hao threw away the plate and cried while holding Li Xiao's thigh.

"Brother, I want to go home. I'm not here anymore, I want to go home. Brother, that man beat me, he was so cruel, I'm afraid." He grinned and cried while complaining to Li Xiao.

"He hit you?" Li Xiao pointed to Dao Scar who was standing aside.

"Yeah!" Li Hao was about to cry and nodded hard.

"Hey!" Li Xiao pulled out a dagger and handed it to Li Hao.

"Take it and kill him." Li Xiao glanced at Scar, who stood dumbly and didn't dare to move even half a step.

"No! I don't want it! I don't want to kill anyone." Li Hao was trembling all over and let go of Li Xiao's thigh, crawling back with fear in his eyes.

"Hold it! Hold it for me!" Li Xiao pulled Li Hao over and forced the dagger into Li Hao's hand.

Li Hao was trembling all over, and his eyes were full of begging. But Li Xiao was stronger than him, and his hands were held by Li Xiao, forcing him to hold the dagger.

"Stab him in the pit of the heart and he will be dead with one strike. He will beat you and bully you. You have to retaliate with tooth. Only then can you become a real man."

"I don't want to be a man, I don't want it!" Li Hao cried so hard.

"Dang Rang" Li Xiao let go of his hand and the dagger fell to the ground.

"Either be willing to endure bullying, or pick up a knife and kill your opponent. The world is so cruel. I, your second brother, and third brother are all here. If you want to survive, you can only choose one.

As your elder brother, I remind you. If you choose to pick up the knife, you will live like a lion and enjoy the respect of others!

If you choose to give up the knife, you will live worse than a dog. Because dogs still know how to bite people, and you will be someone who can be bullied. No one respects you, and no one cares about your thoughts. When there are many people

, you will be like a transparent person.

Think about it! You have a lifetime!" Li Xiao patted Li Hao on the shoulder and stood up.

"What are you doing standing there, you're going to have to fucking eat!" Seeing everyone standing, Li Xiao roared. Everyone was as obedient as quails and sat down to continue eating. Including the vicious Scar!

"Your third brother has won the respect of everyone with the scars all over his body. Now people call him Master Hu, not because he is my younger brother, Li Xiao, but because he is Li Hu. Xiaohao, I hope you can one day

Win the respect of others." Li Xiao said something and walked up the stairs to the deck.

"I don't want to kill, I don't want to kill...!" Li Hao huddled on the floor, holding his head and crying.

It seemed that the people in the canteen were invisible, and they all had their heads buried in eating. Until their rice plates were licked cleaner than their faces!

It was a rare few days of pleasant vacation. In the morning, Li Xiao took Tokugawa Chiki and Xiaoyu to catch the sea. The sea is always generous and leaves many things for people every time the tide goes out.

Sprinkle a little salt and you'll see razor clams popping out. If you move away from the reef, you'll find a Bohai whistle. Crabs the size of fingernails, deep-fried and mixed with salt, are absolutely delicious. If you come across a puddle on the reef,

Maybe you can find a squid that didn't have time to escape, or a stupid fish.

Whenever this happens, Xiaoyu will happily clap her hands.

The squid is placed in a circle and covered with batter. After it is fried and dipped in some pepper and salt, it is definitely a top-notch ingredient.

Chiki Tokugawa loves to eat squid rings the most. She always pesters her husband like a koala and asks Li Xiao to cook for her. Ever since she got to know Li Xiao, this little girl will never let go of every bite.

Opportunity to act coquettishly.

Every time he came back from the sea, Li Xiao would put on an apron and start cooking.

Growing up by the sea, Li Xiao knows how to cook seafood best. In fact, making seafood is the easiest, just put it in water and cook it. In the capital, many people eat shrimps dipped in ginger juice. For this kind of

Li Xiao sneered at the local turtle's eating method.

Seafood, seafood means eating is fresh.

The small conch is cooked in one pot, without even picking the spicy thread. A little soy sauce is mixed with mustard, which made Tokugawa Chihime burst into tears.

Xiaoyu is very experienced in eating Pipi shrimps. She starts twisting her head from the third section. Then she peels off the shell section by section, and finally tears along the tail to pull out the entire meat inside the tail.

For things like Pipi shrimp, Li Xiao still likes to eat them pickled. After making the marinade, add enough onions, ginger and garlic, marinate for a day and night. The next day, the salted shrimps are done. If you ask people at the beach

.How to eat delicious shrimps? 80% of people would recommend this method.

Perhaps because of her eating habits, Tokugawa Chihime likes to eat all seafood raw. She has a special liking for salted shrimp crabs. When she is high, she will babble in foreign languages.

When he heard "Yo Xi", Li Xiao unconsciously thought of the Japanese soldiers.

In his spare time, Li Xiao would also take Tokugawa Chiki and Xiaoyu to visit Changxing Island.

The construction over the years has given Changxing Island a somewhat modern flavor. The most representative ones are the two steam engines built by Yu Lao and the others, which are characterized by their large size. Each one covers an area as large as half a football field.

, all arranged away from residential areas for safety reasons.

Those two large chimneys, which are more than ten feet high, emit black smoke no matter day or night. They have become an important source of pollution over Changxing Island!

In order to supply enough coal, a small wharf had to be built next to the steam engine specifically to accommodate coal ships from Korea!

Cement factories are another source of pollution. Now the Changxing Island brand cement has been sold in Ming Dynasty. And the supply has always been in short supply. Those idiots from the Ministry of Industry actually asked Li Xiao for the formula. After being beaten up by Master Wu, he gave up.

Got this idea.

With the steam engine as power, production efficiency has been significantly improved. Especially in military production, since the simple lathes and boring machines were introduced, the army's standard weapons quickly entered the finalization stage.

Standardized production was quickly put on the agenda. Li Xiao's requirement was that infantry weapons should be universal. Bullets and firearms should be absolutely universal.

The first to be mass-produced was the long-barreled revolver. When the bullets were finalized, this thing was the most popular.

Li Xiao tested it and found that the length of the entire gun reached about 30 centimeters. It was heavy, but Man Gui said he didn't care. He only cared that his soldiers could shoot six bullets in a row before pulling out their sabers to fight.

Any cavalry team that fires six consecutive shots before fighting will be a nightmare for the opponent! You must know that the twenty-centimetre-long barrel can give the revolver better accuracy. On a bumpy horse, continuous shooting

Advantages will also make them invincible.

As long as she can accompany Li Xiao, Xiaoyu is happy. She chatters like a sparrow. When she sees someone she doesn’t understand, she pulls on Li Xiao’s clothes and asks. It doesn’t matter whether she understands Li Xiao’s explanation, she just likes it.

The feeling of pulling my brother.

The good days were finally over. When Ai Husheng arrived from Shanhaiguan, Li Xiao knew that the emperor must have met all his requests. It was obvious that the emperor's patience with Liaodong was getting less and less. This bitter and cold place was exactly where it was.

Consuming most of the military resources of the Ming Empire.

He must first resolve Liaodong, and then extinguish the endless rebellions in the northwest. He even has to use troops in the southwest. There are countless chieftains in the southwest now, and they still want to complete Yang Yinglong's unfinished business.

The most important thing is that Li Xiao cannot be allowed to continue like this in Liaodong. Zhu Youjian understands in his heart that Li Xiao is not a docile cat. He has fangs and sharp claws. If he were huge, he would be
Chapter completed!
