"What? Zhenjiang Fort was burned down?" Amin, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, listened to the report from his men in surprise.

"Yes! Zhenjiang Fort, along with the grain and fodder we stored in Zhenjiang Fort, have been burned. The army's military supplies have been cut off. If the attack continues, we will have to raise food on the spot."

"Nonsense! Look at how poor the North Koreans are. Raising food on the spot, there's no fucking way to raise food. They themselves are starving to death!" Amin picked up his horse whip and whipped the quartermaster.

A whip.

There was a severe drought in North Korea this year. Nurhaci ordered Amin to take the opportunity to attack North Korea. He forced North Korea to surrender and cut off the Ming Dynasty's wings in Liaodong. The North Korean and Li Dynasties have always been a loyal vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty accepts large-scale tributes from North Korea every year, even from the emperor.

There are a large number of Korean maids and concubines in the inner palace.

As long as Korea is surrendered, the annual tribute reduced by the Ming Dynasty every year will flow into the Later Jin Dynasty. Under this situation, the Later Jin Dynasty will become stronger and stronger, while the Ming Dynasty will become weaker and weaker.

"Master Beile! There is really nothing we can do. All the food and horse feed we collected were burned by the Ming army. If we ask the Great Khan for food, we won't be able to raise it in a day or two."

"I fucking know!" Amin was as irritated as a tiger trapped in a cage, spinning around constantly.

The city of Pyongyang is right in front of you, but it cannot be conquered in ten days and a half. The Jin army does not have the firearms like the Ming army. It is very difficult to conquer such a fortified city that has been built for hundreds of years!

No matter how powerful the blue flag's cavalry is, they can't fly to the city wall.

What's even more disgusting is that the king of North Korea's Li Dynasty, Jianbi Qingye, was very thorough. Until now, he has not fought a decent battle. Looking at the fortified city of Pyongyang, there is no food and grass behind him...! Could it be said that he is so desolate?

Slide back to the north bank of the Yalu River?

"Withdraw!" After thinking for a long time, Amin gave the order helplessly. The people had no food, and the horses had no feed. This battle is a fart! I would rather go back and be punished by the Khan than let the Zhenglan Banner become stronger.

damage.

Li Xiao didn't know that he had unintentionally interfered with Nurhaci's plan to invade North Korea. Now Li Xiao was immersed in a huge sense of satisfaction. Last time, some idiots were injured because they stepped on the triangular nails, but this time there were no casualties.

Not only did they burn a mountain of horse feed, but they also brought back enough food for Pidao to eat for two or three years.

Of course, it is impossible to eat food for two or three years. But there is always no need to worry about food! Besides, the extra food can be used to make wine. So many soybeans can also be used to extract oil, which are all necessities of life. Man Gui has complained for a long time

He didn't drink the strong alcohol, and the bird was already in his mouth.

Wang Laosan excitedly worked overtime to build the warehouse. According to Li Xiao's requirements, the warehouse must have a masonry structure with a cement floor, and the stacks for storing grain should be one foot high from the ground. This can prevent moisture invasion as much as possible, which can lead to grain spoilage.

In addition, solid masonry can also effectively prevent mice. Although it is impossible to completely prevent it, it is certainly stronger than wood.

"The island can't have no eyes on the mainland, so we become deaf and blind. Now you go to Lushun to farm, which is very close to our island. If the Tatars come to invade, you can retreat to the island. The island can also be used.

Help you resist the Tatar attack! As long as we stand firm in Port Arthur, we will be able to regain Liaodong in the future." Li Xiao spoke impassionedly, but in fact this was an opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

I have to say that Mao Wenlong is a capable person. This guy is not idle on the island. He contacts people all day long to win people's hearts. Ao Canghai carefully checked and found that there are more than a hundred guys who secretly interact with him. And they are both men and women.

!

These people could not be kept, and Li Xiao had no choice but to let them choose their own way out. Of course, these people were not the only ones who were cleared out of the island this time. When recruiting refugees in Ningyuan, some were hungry and unscrupulous. They accepted some good eaters and lazy guys to the island, and

Some are just gangsters from the market.

When he first came to the island, he could still pretend for a few days, but now he can no longer pretend. This time, Li Xiao made up his mind. The people on the island need to be absolutely assured.

It was a bit tricky to clear out more than 500 people at once, but for the long-term consideration of Pi Dao, Li Xiao had to bear the pain and make up his mind!

"Master, we want to stay on the island." Xiao Qiang, who was appointed as the leader of the farm, begged with a sad face. This guy is a confidant recruited by Mao Wenlong secretly, and Mao Wenlong's vision is not bad. This guy is smart enough, and he is very clever and calculating.

Not bad. Li Xiao once thought about appointing him as a minor leader, but since he was found out by Ao Canghai, he had to be the leader of the field.

"Xiao Qiang! You have to know that we need spies on the mainland. This time we went to rob Zhenjiang Fort and almost made a big mistake. You have to nail Lushun like nails, and then recruit and absorb refugees to join us and continue to grow. To

Only when our island and Lushun are closely connected can we all survive for a long time. Your responsibility is very important! Do you know?"

"The boss...!"

"Stop talking, I've already decided. Come and drink this bowl of Zhuangxing wine. I wish you all the best!" Li Xiao picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp!

Xiao Qiang saw Ao Canghai and Man Gui showing bad looks on their faces, so he had to drink the bowl of wine. He made eye contact with Mao Wenlong, and under Ao Canghai's supervision, he took the people on board the ship to Lushun.

"Mao Wenlong can't do nothing all day long. This old guy is full of bad ideas. How about...!" Man Gui still wanted to kill Mao Wenlong.

"It's not the time yet. We still need to use his connections in Shandong. Like this! Let's find something for this guy to do. Now that the old guy has something to do, it can be considered as a waste." Li Xiao thought for a while and said.

"Factory? What factory?" Man Gui is an expert in killing people, but Man Gui, who is highly economical, is an idiot.

"Hey! What do you use to shower and wash your hands every day?" Li Xiao said with a smile.

"You mean soap?"

"Yes! It's soap. We robbed more than 20,000 kilograms of soybeans this time. Who the hell can eat so much? It's all those hustlers who robbed horse feed as food. After pressing the oil from these soybeans, they can be turned into soap

I have already thought about the raw materials and handed them over to Chen Hailong and his family for sale.

This thing is commonly used by ordinary people, and it is a good business for long-term business. Moreover, it does not require many people, so it is suitable for our island."

"Let Mao Wenlong run the soap factory?"

"No! The soybean residue left over from the oil extraction can be used to raise pigs and cows. I want him to be responsible for raising pigs and cows! Haven't you eaten beef for a long time?"

"Let him raise pigs and cattle!" Man Gui and Ao Canghai looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. The majestic Mao Dusi was actually reduced to a pig herder and a cowherd.

Just when Man Gui and Ao Canghai couldn't hold back their joy, Li Hu ran in panting.
