The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

With Xie SHANGZHENG's work, Cao Wenzhao obviously didn't have much thought of drinking.

Back in the house, he accompanied Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to drink for two or three rounds. Cao Wenzhao was embarrassed and said, "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, ah It's a big deal. If Li Shuai and Chen Shuai can come to my old Cao's hometown of Datong some day, old Cao will come to meet him and have a good drink with him! But today... "

Chen Zhong was not happy again.

This surnamed Cao, he and Li Yuanqing have helped him to level the court. How can this guy be like a monkey with garlic in his buttocks?

But before Chen Zhong had said anything, Li Yuanqing had already gently tugged at his skirt and said to Cao Wenzhao with a smile: "brother Cao, since brother Cao has already made a choice, Yuan Qing will not persuade him any more. As the old saying goes, the water is sweet, and the moon is the hometown of Ming. There is no place to leave people here. Come on! Brother Cao, let's drink this cup. Yuan Qing is here. I wish you all the best in the future

"Li Shuai..."

Cao Wenzhao's eyes were full of tears.

Although Li Yuanqing's words seem to be a little bit erratic, it's about his heart.

Without this experience, who can understand the suffering of the mud legs at the bottom of the military system?

Especially ~, it's not just mudlegs, but mudlegs who want to keep going

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning. He picked up his glass and said with a smile, "come on, Yuanqing, old Cao, do it!"

…………

Cao Wenzhao left soon, but Chen Zhong was still a little upset.

Two brothers lit a cigar. Chen Zhong was puzzled and said, "Yuanqing, this Cao Wenzhao is just a few. In his time, he was a good guard. How can we command thousands of troops to kill the enemy? Yuan Qing, why are you so polite to him? "

Li Yuanqing long spit out a turbid breath, some vicissitudes ethereal smile: "big brother, actually You can't say that. It's hard to beat a hero for a penny. Cao Wenzhao, at this time, it is difficult. However, this man is very modest in his conduct. At this time, it's just bad luck. It's not a bad thing that he wants to change his environment now. "

With that, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, do you believe it or not, within five years, this Cao Wenzhao will have a promising future! Dare you make a bet with me

"Bet?"

Chen Zhong's eyes widened.

At this time, he had already understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, but he knew Li Yuanqing's knowledge of people. How could he bet with Li Yuanqing.

For a moment, he quickly shook his head like a rattle drum, "Yuanqing, I won't bet with you. Damn it, I bet you, I don't remember I won. Today is normal. How about tomorrow's plan

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and slowly vomited out a thick fog. "Elder brother, I guess yuan Manzi's drunkenness is not about wine. It was not easy for him to come to Changsheng island once, and he could not leave immediately. We must be ready for a long war. One more thing, big brother. "

With that, Li Yuanqing whispered in Chen Zhong's ear.

Hearing the speech, Chen Zhong frowned tightly. For a moment, he stressed the key point and said, "Yuanqing, don't worry about this. I'll send someone to do it all night."

…………

Today is the first day of governor yuan's arrival, and they put the station on the dock again. Since Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong could not go back to the official hall for a rest, they would make do with the office here at the wharf for the whole night.

Of course, the two brothers still sleep in the same room.

This is also a strong demand of Chen Zhong. Even though he has stopped snoring, his sleeping posture is still not flattering.

Lying on the very kind Kang, Chen Zhong had already been sleeping like a dead pig.

This guy.

Perhaps it was because Li Yuanqing was by his side. He was very down-to-earth and didn't pay much attention to it. But Li Yuanqing could not sleep for a long time when he looked at the lonely stars in the night sky through the gap between the window eaves.

To a large extent, Cao Wenzhao's dispirited heart was not a small alarm.

It's a pity that "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I'm in this mountain.".

Cao Wenzhao is still too humble at this time

The more friendly governor yuan showed, the more crisis Li Yuanqing felt Li Yuanqing has no one to tell.

At this time, Li Yuanqing was also more and more aware of the great literary master's classic words: "I want to go back by the wind, but I'm afraid of Qionglou Yuyu. It's too high to be cold! "

…………

In the early morning of the next morning, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already got up and had a simple activity. They respectfully came to the room of inspector yuan to listen.

Governor yuan also got up very early. Before the time of the day, that is, around 6:30, he had already straightened up and appeared in front of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong in a magnificent robe and jade belt.Again.

At this time, although we are in the endless contradictions between the enemy and ourselves, but ~, but who can be in this position at this time, who is mediocre?

After seeing the ceremony, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "governor, today's itinerary, you can have an arrangement."

Governor Yuan said with a faint smile: "Li junmen, I've heard for a long time that there are several fairyland in Changsheng island. If Li junmen and Chen junmen have time, would they like to accompany me to climb high and look far away? "

It is almost no secret that governor yuan likes to climb mountains in his spare time.

However, Li Yuanqing did not expect that governor yuan did not propose to go to Changsheng Island, but chose to go climbing directly.

On one side, Chen Zhongming was also stunned.

But for a moment, Li Yuanqing had already reacted, and said with a respectful smile: "willing to serve the governor."

At this time, governor yuan also relaxed his attitude and said with a laugh: "Li junmen, you are the villain of Changsheng island. It's up to you to decide which mountain to climb. "

"Yes."

…………

Although governor yuan gave Li Yuanqing the location of the mountain climbing and asked him to arrange it, Li Yuanqing was very clear that he had already made a choice.

Come to Changsheng Island, even if he is more generous, how can he not go to the city?

Even if it's a walk in the middle.

When governor yuan had breakfast, Li Yuanqing was ready. Today, the mountain governor yuan was going to climb was just the small mountain on the southwest side of the city, which could have a panoramic view of the whole city.

The name of the small mountain range is unknown.

However, since Li Yuanqing occupied Changsheng Island, many of the ashes of the children who died in the war were buried on the sunny side of the mountain. In addition, the pine and cypress on the mountain are very green. People on the island have always called this mountain range xiaoqingshan. The peak of xiaoqingshan is called "Zhongyi peak".

The origin of this name is derived from a famous line written by Gong Zizhen, a great poet of Manchu Dynasty, which was seized by Li Yuanqing at that time: "loyal bones are buried everywhere in the green mountains, so why should they be dressed in clothes?"

Zhongyi peak is not too high, even if you climb to the top and then come down, it will not take you a whole day.

Li Yuanqing also made a plan ahead of time, leaving a military camp in the southwest of the city to be stationed at night after governor yuan finished climbing the mountain.

Of course, rules can't be broken.

Even if he was governor yuan, he could only carry 500 soldiers when he entered the city.

Governor yuan was very excited today. Instead of riding in a carriage, his party directly rode along the cement road, bypassing the urban area and directly to xiaoqingshan.

On the sunny side of xiaoqingshan, in addition to the burial place of the children and the construction of regular bluestone steps and temples, other places are still uncultivated land with no roads.

Governor yuan was very interested in the huge burial ground built by Li Yuanqing. Instead of going directly to the best place to climb the peak of Zhongyi, he went to the Zhongyi temple where the children buried their bones, and put a incense on the soldiers who died in battle these years. Then he turned from the mountain to climb Zhongyi peak.

At this time, although governor yuan was over 40 years old, he looked dry and thin, and he was black, thin and short, but his physical strength was really good.

Before noon, it took only an hour more, and the party had climbed to the top of Zhongyi peak.

On the top of the mountain, the cold sea breeze is whistling and the rocks are jagged. In addition, the weather is very good today, and the vision is very wide. You can not only have a panoramic view of the whole urban area of Changsheng Island, but also the nanxinkou on the opposite bank, as well as the ordnance workshop and horse farm in the northwest.

Governor yuan was also in a good mood.

Since climbing to the top of the mountain, a smile has been hanging on his face. Obviously, he is quite satisfied with Li Yuanqing's arrangement.

However, on the top of the mountain, we can't pay too much attention to food.

But governor yuan didn't mind. Even if it was just cold mutton with sauce and wine, he was very happy.

Sitting on a very flat and smooth boulder that had been weathered, governor yuan tasted a cup of wine, looked at the figures flowing back and forth like ants in the street at the foot of the mountain, and said with a smile, "Li junmen, how many people are there in Changsheng island now?"

Li Yuanqing, who had been prepared, said in a hurry and respectful way, "what do you want to say back to the governor. At this time, there are more than 70000 households in Changsheng Island, with a population of over 200000. If you add in this group of people in the pass this year, as well as the merchants and helpers who live on the island, there will be about 300000 people. "

Although what Li Yuanqing said was similar to the fact, Li Yuanqing took a great deal of cleverness in it.

In fact, at this time, the population of Changsheng island alone has steadily exceeded 300000.

Not to mention the more than 70000 Dingkou along the yangguanbao line, as well as many villages and strongholds along nanxinkou and Jinfu.

Even though governor yuan was the governor of Jiliao and the direct superior of Li Yuanqing, he did not dare to investigate his account in such a joint.

There is falsehood in truth, and truth in falsehood.

Governor yuan couldn't understand the details of Li Yuanqing for a while, but this figure was similar to what he expected. He was very satisfied with Li Yuanqing's answer, but he sighed deeply: "Li junmen are all coastal cities, but ~, I'm afraid that the general situation of Changsheng island is better than Ningyuan city.""The governor is too modest. It is absolutely inseparable from the strong support of western Liaoning that Changsheng island can have today. " Li Yuanqing is busy and humble.

Who doesn't know, Ningyuan city is his yuan supervisor, is his yuan governor's life ~ root son?

At this time, Li Yuanqing would not be so arrogant that he would argue with governor yuan about the benefits of this lip service.

Governor yuan nodded slowly, and then said, "Li junmen, there's something I'm puzzled about. The city of Changsheng island is so big, but why didn't Li Jun gate set up a wall? If Tartars attack, how can Li Jun gate resist them? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "governor. Changsheng island is different from Ningyuan. The greatest convenience of Changsheng island is the advantage of the island. At the beginning of the construction of the planning Island, I really wanted to build high walls and thick walls. Unfortunately, at that time, the financial resources of the humble position were really poor. If you have a heart, you can't. Later, after thinking about it, I came up with a compromise and cost saving method. "

"Oh? What is the solution? "

Governor yuan looked at Li Yuanqing with great interest.

Li Yuanqing bowed his hand respectfully. Although his momentum had not changed much, his eyes suddenly became sharper and said in a deep voice: "governor, the way to be humble is to Keep the enemy away from home

"Against the enemy and outside the home?"

At that time, governor yuan's face was not very good-looking
