Shi Danai's back was dripping with cold sweat. Behind the cruelty of the Fourth Division was the support of the commander. No wonder the Fourth Division was now confident.

"Boy, you are still young. There are some things you still don't understand. If you don't understand, don't think about it.

At such a young age, I don't know what to do, so I bite my colleagues at will. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief doesn't blame him today, but you have to be vigilant in the future.

Why don't you thank the commander quickly and not blame him?" Shi Dewei scolded Shi Danai with a sullen face and the tone of an elder.

"Thank you, Marshal! Thank you, uncle!" Shi Danai could only bow down and accept the lesson, and then apologize to Li Xiao.

"What you have to consider now is how to build this railway, how many workers are needed, and where it needs to go.

What your uncle and I, as well as your grandfather and others, have to consider is the future path of this country and this nation.

Although the peaceful approach is good, it has too many hidden dangers.

It is irresponsible to leave these hidden dangers to future generations. Some methods and methods may seem cruel, but decades or hundreds of years later, you will know that we did the right thing."

Li Xiao patted Shi Danai on the shoulder. This guy is still too young. It's too early to expect them to figure these things out.

"No! I'd like to learn from you!" Shi Danai bowed to Li Xiao again with the courtesy of a junior.

Li Xiao didn't speak, others didn't speak, and everyone didn't speak. The train carried their thoughts and rushed all the way to Yili.

Although there is a train, Hami is too far from Ili! What's more, Shi Danai has a burning heart to please the commander-in-chief.

Along the way, Li Xiao walked and stopped. It was not as tiring as the journey, but it was quite colorful.

Li Xiao had never been to this place in the Western Regions in his entire life. This time, he had seen it all.

The water surface of Juyan Lake is as calm as a mirror. Poplar trees in various postures stand upright by the lake. The blue sky is reflected in the water, making the water surface also blue. This is the true color of water and sky.

In autumn, the Populus euphratica forest is shrouded in yellow and red. A gust of wind blows, and it seems like a rain of leaves from the sky.

Stepping on the thick leaves, breathing in the fresh air that can fill your lungs. There are two camels by the lake, and the tinkling of camel bells can be heard in your ears.

An otherworldly feeling arises spontaneously!

After being immersed in it for a while, the aroma of barbecue floated along the wind.

Lunch was very sumptuous, including grilled fish and roasted whole lamb.

The grilled fish tastes very good, but there are a lot of fish bones. There is nothing we can do about it, as most freshwater fish have too many bones.

A tough Mongolian shouted, naked to the waist, and lifted out a fat sheep in autumn like a chicken.

The Mongolians are excellent at peeling off sheep's skin. When Li Xiao and Shi Dewei next to him were discussing the difference between the fish in Juyanhai and the fish in Baiyangdian, the poor sheep had lost its skin.

The wooden pole was passed through the sheep's body and it was constantly roasted on the fire. The Mongolian girl with a plateau red face was working hard to roast the fat sheep.

At the same time, keep applying honey water to the fat sheep.

The aroma of barbecue was soon mixed with a hint of honey.

The roasted whole lamb is very authentic, but the mutton ears cut off by the Mongolians are not that good. Compared with the lamb ears, which symbolize nobility, Li Xiao prefers the plump lamb ribs, or the roasted lamb legs that can be eaten by one person.

Cutting the ribbon for the railway was not the reason why Li Xiao traveled thousands of miles to Yili. The real reason why he went to Yili was to meet someone in Yili, a woman to be precise.

Under the control of the Ming Dynasty, the Russian Empire was shattered like a sheep torn apart by a pack of wolves.

Fortunately, Ekaterina reacted quickly enough and quickly surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, finally saving the land of the Principality of Moscow.

At the same time, because there was no war, the Moscow Industrial Zone was not damaged at all.

Li Xiao came to Yili this time because he wanted to meet this legendary empress who was very knowledgeable about current affairs.

Let’s see if she is as charming as the legend says!

Li Xiao didn't really believe those legends. How could a person who governed Russia in an orderly manner be a slut who could do everything he could to help others?

Especially with the crisis that Russia has encountered this time, not everyone can make the determination to cut off Catherine's arms.

With this decision, Li Xiao asked himself that he would definitely fight to the end and die on the battlefield.

I didn't like the taste of kumiss very much, so after taking a few sips, Li Xiao took the kettle hanging from Shunzi.

Like later generations, the liquor from Kweichow Moutai Town soon became popular all over the country.

With airships, the originally difficult transportation problem basically does not exist now.

Different from later generations, the Maotai liquor of this era is not fake. The taste is also softer than the Moutai liquor of later generations, but the alcoholic nature is more like a dream.

Perhaps this has something to do with the strict cellaring time.

After all, those who could drink Maotai liquor in these days were all the top nobles of the Ming Dynasty. Locally, ordinary prefects rarely tasted it.

Gradually, Moutai became a legend.

Some people say that this is wine brewed by gods in the sky, and drinking it can prolong your life.

Others say that this wine is fairy wine. After drinking it, you can stay young forever!

The wisdom of the broad masses of the people is infinite. After hearing these rumors, Li Xiao's jaw almost dropped to the ground.

You said that it would prolong life and stay young forever. But you said that drinking Moutai will help you have a son. This is a bit too much.

What can't be solved by Guangzhou Military Hospital? Do you expect Kweichow Moutai to solve it?

Walking, shopping, eating and drinking all the way. After enjoying the scenery of the Western Regions, Li Xiao finally came to Yili.

The so-called Yili City, in Li Xiao's opinion, is just a small town.

The Liao army did not like to build city walls, so naturally no one repaired the dilapidated Ili city walls. In fact, the colonel commander of Ili really wanted to tear down these obstructive city walls.

Without the city wall, people can enter and leave the city more freely.

Compared with defense, the commander of the Yili Reclamation Division cares more about how to quickly make the city prosperous.

This guy was originally a battalion commander under Man Ye of the 1st Cavalry Division of the Liao Army. He followed Man Gui all over the country and gained some experience.

He knows that no one in today's world dares to invade the Ming Dynasty's territory, even if there is a ruthless person who wants to realize the following ideals of his own.

But it is a pity that none of these ruthless people succeeded. They were either killed by their own people or by the vassal forces of the Ming Dynasty.

For these people, Li Xiao didn't even bother to list them as opponents.

Facts have proved that using a mantis as a chariot is an act that tests people's minds. There are very few people with such great perseverance at all times and in all over the world.
