Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 93 Li Yichun

When they arrived at the entrance of the Taoist temple, the two bandits who were guarding the gate hurriedly saluted when they saw Li Jing approaching.

Li Jing waved his hand and stood casually aside, waiting for the children to leave school.

After a while, the children came out one after another.

Suddenly seeing Li Jing standing at the door, all the jumping children suddenly quieted down and obediently walked out from the door.

Li Jing shook his head with a smile, and suddenly saw Hu Tou coming out from inside, Li Jing stepped forward and grabbed him: "Stinky boy, why don't you talk when you see your godfather."

Hutou glanced at Li Jing, and said in a low voice, "Hi godfather, I didn't see godfather just now."

"Huh?" Li Jing was surprised when he heard Hutou whispering: "Damn it, when did you learn to be good?"

Li Jingzheng was puzzled, so he heard a child next to him laughing and said: "The big boss, Brother Hutou failed to memorize the book today, and was slapped several times by the master. He is afraid that the husband will tell you about the big boss and hit him again. , so I dare not speak loudly."

"Hahaha!" Li Jingwen laughed out loud.

The child's accent had a distinct Shaanxi taste, and Li Jing knew that Ma Wu had sent him from Shaanxi.

Li Jing was in a good mood. Seeing that the child spoke pleasantly, he asked casually, "What's your name? How old are you? Where are you from? When did you come here?"

"My name is Li Yichun. I'm seven years old. I was brought here from Yulin last month by Lord Wu," said the child.

Li Jingjing nodded, knowing that the fifth master the child was talking about was Ma Wu.

Counting the days, it has been almost half a year since Ma Wu left the mountain.

Ma went down from Hongshanling on the sixth day of the first lunar month, first went to Weihui Mansion to arrange everything, appointed Ma Shouye and Qing He as the stewards of Weihui Mansion, and then rushed to the capital.

After staying in the capital for more than a month, he bought the two houses mentioned by his subordinates, bought several businesses, and hurried to Shaanxi.

From the capital to Shaanxi, Ma Wu took the first line of Taiyuan and Yulin. He started several businesses in Taiyuan, bought a restaurant and a grain store in Yulin, and then transferred to Xi'an.

Last month, Ma Wu sent a letter saying that everything was fine in Xi'an, and that this child was brought back that time.

Hearing that the child was from Yulin, Li Jing knew that Ma Wu had taken him in when he was in Yulin. He walked from Yulin to Xi'an, and then from Xi'an to Hongshanling.

Li Jing touched the child's head lightly and asked, "Are you used to living in the mountains?"

The child nodded and said: "I'm used to it. The grandparents, uncles and aunts in the mountains treat us very well. Grandpa Shen even arranged for me to study with other children."

"Study hard, and when you grow up, be filial to your grandpa Shen." Li Jing smiled.

"En!" The child nodded vigorously.

"Go!" Li Jing patted the child's head lightly and said.

The child saluted Li Jing, turned around and ran out.

Li Jing turned his head and saw Hutou looking at him eagerly, slapped him on the head, and cursed: "Stinky boy, if you don't study hard, you should hit him."

Hutou drooped his head and muttered: "I don't want to study, I want to learn how to fight with Uncle Gao."

"Damn it, you are not as tall as a gun, learn how to fight a war, honestly teach me how to read and write, and when you grow taller than a gun, you will learn from your uncle Gao." Li Jing scolded.

Hutou let out an oh and stopped speaking.

Seeing Hutou listless, Li Jing smiled, patted Hutou's head and said: "Hutou, you are very smart, and your godfather expects a lot from you. Don't be like your father, except for your own name." If you don’t know, then you won’t have great prospects.”

Hearing Li Jing's praise, the tiger's head was overjoyed, and said with a straight chest: "I will definitely be better than my father when I grow up."

Li Jingjing nodded and smiled, "If you are ambitious, go play and don't make trouble for Uncle Gao."

"En!" Hutou responded, lying on the ground and kowtowing to Li Jing, then got up and ran away.

After a while, the children dispersed, and Xiaodie hurried in. After a while, Xiaodie peeked around the door, and then waved to her back.

Li Jing looked amused, and thought to himself: "Are you a thief? So cautiously."

After thinking for a while, Li Jing turned around and said to the two bandits standing guard at the door: "Both of you go and tell Uncle Shen, and tell Uncle Shen that Miss wants to go down the mountain and don't worry."

The two bandits looked at each other, one of them hurried to Shen Zheng's residence, while the other came behind Li Jing.

Li Jing turned around and glared at the bandit, "What are you doing! Why are you following me?"

The bandit scratched his head without making a sound, but still stood behind Li Jing.

Li Jing shook his head, thinking: "This is a stubborn person, forget it, just follow, if there is anything, there is also an errand."

Turning around, she saw that Shen Ying was wearing a lavender silk dress, with a shy face, walking out of the gate in style, with an elegant demeanor.

Li Jing praised secretly in his heart, stepped forward and said, "It's boring to stay in the temple all day, I'll take you down the mountain for a walk."

Shen Ying blushed slightly and nodded slightly.

Li Jing stretched out his hand to lead the way, and led Shen Ying out of the Taoist temple slowly.

The bandit behind Li Jing heard that the head of the family said that he would take Miss Shen's family down the mountain, and secretly clicked his tongue, thinking: "The head of the house is so courageous that he actually took his unmarried young lady all over the mountain."

What made the bandit even more puzzled was that after the two came down from the mountain, they didn't say a word, and they didn't know what the two of them were walking around like gourds.

Li Jing and Shen Ying didn't know that the bandit behind them was full of thoughts about them, so they just walked slowly down the mountain.

In fact, Shen Ying was already full of joy in her heart to be accompanied by Li Jing to go around, so there was no need to talk.

And seeing Shen Ying's happy and warm expression, Li Jing would not disturb her by making a sound.

A few people walked down the mountain slowly, Li Jing saw that Shen Ying's forehead was slightly sweaty, looked around, saw a bluestone under a nearby tree, and said with a smile: "Go sit there and have a rest?"

Shen Ying gently wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief, then nodded slightly.

Li Jing handed the overcoat to Xiaodie, and pointed to Qingshi.

After Xiaodie took it, she hurriedly ran to spread the overalls on the bluestone, turned around and came back to help Shen Ying to sit down, and then fanned Shen Ying with the fan in her hand.

Shen Ying shook her head, took the fan lightly, and fanned herself a few times.

"There have been many children on the mountain during this time, are you tired?" Li Jing walked over and said with a soft smile.

Shen Ying blushed slightly, smiled sweetly, and shook her head slightly.

After thinking for a while, Li Jing continued: "That kid Hutou is rather naughty, but he's still pretty smart. If you take care of it a little bit, he will become a great weapon in the future."

Shen Ying nodded.

After a while, Shen Ying suddenly said: "Among these children, I found that the new kid named Li Yichun is very good, smart, eager to learn, and very sensible."

Li Jing was taken aback, Li Yichun?Isn't it the kid who talked to me at the entrance of the Taoist temple just now?She didn't want Shen Ying to value him so much.

Li Yichun?Li Yichun?Li Jing recited it silently twice in his heart, and suddenly felt as if he had seen this name somewhere before.

Thinking of the child saying that he was from Yulin, Li Jing suddenly had a flash of inspiration. Li Yichun, Yulin, Shaanxi, could it be Li Dingguo, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty?

At this moment, Li Jing's usually stable hands trembled slightly.

Looking at the famous generals in the late Ming Dynasty, there is only one person Li Jing really admires, and that is Li Dingguo.

Because Li Dingguo is not only a famous general but also a national hero, and this person can be called a model among people no matter what he does or what he does.

Compared with Li Dingguo, even Zheng Chenggong is slightly inferior.

Li Jing doesn't know the details of Li Dingguo's life experience, but he only knows that he is from Yulin, Shaanxi, with the style name Hongyuan, (some say he is from Suide, Shaanxi style, with the style name Ningyu) nicknamed Li Yichun, and he is one of Zhang Xianzhong's adopted sons.

Li Dingguo revolted with Zhang Xianzhong when he was ten years old. He fought in various provinces for several years, killed countless enemies, and made many military exploits. After Zhang Xianzhong captured Sichuan, he named Li Dingguo General Anxi.

The Qing army entered Sichuan, Zhang Xianzhong died in battle, and Li Dingguo led his troops into Guizhou. The idea of ​​uniting the Ming Dynasty against the Qing Dynasty was born, and he was supported by his subordinates.Three years later, he went to Yunnan to meet with Emperor Yongli and agreed to help the Ming Dynasty fight against the Qing Dynasty. Emperor Yongli named him King of Xining.

In the past few years, Li Dingguo led his troops to several cities. In the first battle of Guilin, Kong Youde, king of Dingnan of the Qing army, set himself on fire and died. In the first battle of Hengzhou, he killed Prince Nikan of the Qing army, and nearly recovered Hunan. The Qing court was shaken for a while, and even He wanted to place the seven southwestern provinces in Nanming for peace.

Li Dingguo made great military exploits, became king twice, the world was shaken, and Sun Kewang envied him. Li Dingguo didn't want to fight with Sun Kewang, so he had to lead his troops back to Guangxi and Yunnan.

Afterwards, Li Dingguo contacted Zheng Chenggong and planned to join forces to attack Guangdong. He didn't want Zheng Chenggong's troops to delay the military period repeatedly, causing Li Dingguo to fight alone.

Two years later, Sun Kewang turned against Li Dingguo and was defeated by Li Dingguo.Later, Sun Kewang came to the Qing Dynasty and informed the Qing court of the Ming army's falsehood, and Wu Sangui led the army into Yunnan.

Li Dingguo set up an ambush to wipe out Wu Sangui. He didn't want the traitors to leak the secret. In the end, he fell short, but Wu Sangui still suffered heavy casualties.

But Li Dingguo was no longer able to launch a major offensive against the Qing army so far, so he had to move to the border of Yunnan and Burma.

In the second year of Kangxi, Li Dingguo died of grief and anger in the army, seeing that there was no hope of restoring the country.

Throughout Li Dingguo's life, it can be described as a life of fighting.

This person takes the overall situation into consideration, treats people kindly, sympathizes with the people, and has repeatedly turned the tide.

Among all the generals at the end of the Ming Dynasty, only the field army commanded by Li Dingguo dared to organize large-scale mobile warfare and annihilation warfare, and dared to fight to the death with one hundred thousand and eight banners, breaking the myth that Jurchen was invincible.

Li Dingguo's superb commanding ability, as well as unparalleled self-confidence and courage, were unmatched at the time, and he was a veritable genius military strategist.

It's just that Li Yichun is not sure whether Li Dingguo or Li Jing is. Li Jing is even worried that if it is Li Dingguo, whether taking him to the mountain by himself will change his fate.

It is true that Li Dingguo is a genius military strategist, but he grew up in a specific environment.
