The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After a night of wind and rain, Li Yuanqing got up early in the morning.

However, Li Yuanqing did not follow his relatives and soldiers to run and practice. Instead, he asked Yang Lei to gather more than 100 family soldiers and pack up two light carriages.

Here, after Li Yuanqing's more than a dozen wives and concubines had finished cleaning up, they had a simple breakfast and carried a lot of supplies and food, and went straight to Desheng Gate in the northwest of the capital.

In the name of "Li Yuanqing, I want to take my family and visit the city."

It will be new year's Eve soon. Although it is early in the morning, the streets of Beijing are still very busy.

The hustle and bustle of people who went out to buy and sell in the city dissipated a lot of the cold air in the morning.

In the comfortable carriage, although Wenxiang nephrite is in the arms, but more often, Li Yuanqing's eyes have been gathered outside the window.

In particular, Li Yuanqing's route to go out this time is very particular.

The river course of Taiye Lake in the Imperial Palace has been going all the way to Jishuitan.

After a leisurely stroll around Jishuitan, Li Yuanqing ordered the team to leave the city from Deshengmen and go west along the city wall.

After two or three miles out of the noisy area of the official road, the terrain here is also very clean, just facing the rising sun in the East, Li Yuanqing lit a cigar with a smile, and asked the girls to come out for a stroll and bask in the sun. After a rest, he could find a better place to hang out.

After dismissing this group of charming Yingying Yanyan, Li Yuanqing strode to the south. Across the wide moat of the capital, Li Yuanqing looked at the high walls of the capital and the hustle and bustle of Desheng Gate not far away.

At this time, Yang Lei also respectfully stood beside Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and exhaled a long puff of turbid gas. For a moment, he said with a smile, "Yang Lei, tell me what you think."

In the morning, although Yang Lei and Li Yuanqing only exchanged a few words, he had been with Li Yuanqing for a long time. He understood Li Yuanqing's deep meaning and made abundant preparations along the way.

For a moment, Yang Lei said respectfully, "commander-in-chief, the capital is the heart of my Ming Dynasty. Not only is the city high and thick, but also it is more magnificent and continuous. Even if it is dry at this time, the rivers in the northwest and northeast of the capital have no major problems. Even if the Tartars suddenly came to the city and wanted to get a bargain, it would be very difficult. Not to mention the broken city. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and took a look at Yang Lei.

Yang Lei quickly bowed his head respectfully.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly said with a smile: "Yang Lei, if you give you how many people and how much time will it take to recover this city with millions of people, Yang Lei?"

"Er"

at that time, Yang Lei was startled. For a moment, he came back to his senses and bowed his head more humbly.

Li Yuanqing laughed and patted him on the shoulder, "just from the perspective of strategy and tactics, you should not have too many concerns. Tartars are extremely fierce. We must be well prepared. "

At this time, Yang said in a low voice. If you are a general of humble rank, I'm afraid it will take at least 50000 elite troops, and even more than one month, or even two months, to attack the city

"Ha ha. Tell me what you think. "

With a smile, Li Yuanqing flicked the ashes and stood with his hands down, looking at the noisy Desheng Gate in the distance.

At this time, Yang Lei had already relaxed a lot and said respectfully: "marshal, the walls of the capital are wide and continuous, and the guard is also very tight. Not to mention, once there is a war, there must be four sides of the forces to rush to the king. Commander in chief, there are more than a dozen gates in the capital. If our army has only 50000 men, it is obviously unwise to attack a certain place. In consideration of his humble position, he should focus on temptation and bewilderment, attract the defense forces of the capital by various means, and spread its main force to several broad and weak gates. Then, in the morning or at night, when they are relaxed and tired, they can take advantage of the next gate and open the gap. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help smiling and nodding, but he said: "if you are the chief defense general of the capital, what should you do?"

Yang Lei had fully adapted to Li Yuanqing's rhythm, and said: "commander in chief, if you are a commander in chief of the capital, the first thing to bear the brunt is to stabilize the interior. Ensure all aspects of grain and forage scheduling supply. Especially clean water. In order to protect the water source, it is necessary to inspect the northwest and northeast of the city. After the stability and stability of the interior, we should respond to all kinds of changes and guard against all kinds of sudden attacks by the enemy. "

"Not bad."

Li Yuanqing slapped Yang Lei on the shoulder with a smile, and then said with a smile: "that ~ ~, do you think that Desheng Gate is suitable for starting?"

Yang Lei's body suddenly a smart, he now has some understanding of Li Yuanqing's true meaning.

After thinking about it for a moment, he said in a low voice: "commander in chief, in my humble opinion, Deshengmen river is the best breakthrough."

Li Yuanqing laughed and nodded, "let's go. Let's go to Xizhimen. "

During the whole day, Li Yuanqing and his party barely finished the city wall on the west side of the capital. In the evening, they entered the city from YouAnMen and returned to Sanfu inn.Today, although feng'er, Lin Ling, ci'er and shi'er didn't visit many scenic spots, they spent a lot of physical energy on walking, stopping and catching a rabbit or a bird.

Although the carriage was not too bumpy, at this time everyone was very tired. They nestled together and leaned against Li Yuanqing, just like a group of soft kittens, drowsy.

Li Yuanqing here, although a little tired, but the spirit is very clear.

In a flash, it has been ten years since I came to Daming.

But today, it is the first time for Li Yuanqing to really take time to take a complete and complete look at the real appearance of the capital, a million strong city.

Although Yang Lei didn't really have the experience of being the leader of the first army and really unifying the army, he followed Li Yuanqing all the year round, and his understanding was not low. To a large extent, he was close to the truth of the facts.

Of course, due to various reasons, he still has the limitations of his times. Although he can feel the core, he can not firmly grasp the core and control it in his hand.

According to the defense scale of the capital at that time, it was not the Houjin army that had entered the pass with light cars and simple steps. It was almost impossible for the main force of Changsheng camp to capture the capital, a city of millions of people, in a short time.

In history, Li Zicheng joined the capital.

In fact, it was not that Li Zicheng really conquered the capital with his military strength, but that at that time, the hearts of Daming people had been dispersed, and the effective resistance forces in the periphery, including the main force of the Beijing camp, had already recognized him. Even on the side of the refugee Army, he was completely asking Li Zicheng to join the capital.

However, from a military point of view, even if the "cuticle" defense forces around the capital are eliminated, it is not easy to enter the capital by purely military means.

Not to mention, at this time, the Ming Dynasty still has a strong control over the country.

As the old saying goes, "fortresses are often broken from within."

In the future, even if the main force of the later Jin army really used some powerful means to enter the pass and enter the capital city, the safety of the whole capital city would be strongly guaranteed as long as the capital did not collapse.

After all, it's the imperial city where the emperor lives.

However, the capital of a million strong cities is guaranteed, but the surrounding small towns, small towns and small villages are

thinking, Li Yuanqing can not help but spit out a long breath of turbid gas.

After all, he's not a big Luo immortal.

In such a state, he can only protect his political interests first.

In particular, Chen Zhong's side, including the seaside camp in Changli, must be more cautious.

Back at Sanfu Inn, Li Yuanqing wanted to take a hot bath and have a good rest. However, Tian Hongyu had already sent someone to wait for Li Yuanqing for a long time.

Or yesterday's boy, Xiaobao, was busy and respectfully reporting to Li Yuanqing: "Li junmen, my master has set up a banquet in yesterday's old place, waiting for you for a long time."

Li Yuanqing didn't expect Tian Hong to meet this guy. He was so interesting.

However, in a flash, Li Yuanqing also wanted to understand that he was still Tian Hongyu's identity. It was not easy for him to find a real friend in the capital.

Since Tian Hongyu is in such a hurry to make friends with Li Yuanqing, even if he is a little tired, Li Yuanqing does not really neglect him.

Smiling and grabbing a handful of silver to the little treasure, Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "you go back and report to your master first, and I'll be right there."

"Yes."

This little treasure can't help but be overjoyed.

Looking at his back, Li Yuanqing couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Because of the laws of biology, such as his little "bookboy", the "vitality" that he really brings to his master's side is actually very short-lived.

It's usually a year or two, but not more than three or five years at most.

As for the later generations of them,

Li Yuanqing couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. If he could step on that supreme throne one day, this ethos must be improved with more efforts.

How can the magnificent shangguo, like the southeast barbarians, lose their points in such matters?

Of course, among the gray slaves, that was something that Li Yuanqing could not see or care about.

Half an hour later, Li Yuanqing changed into a black robe, took Yang Lei and 50 soldiers on duty, and came to the familiar tavern yesterday.

Tian Hongyu has been sitting here for an afternoon. When he got the news of Li Yuanqing's arrival, he rushed out with a smile and said, "Yuanqing, today, elder brother, I didn't want to disturb you. It's just that the old brother got a good thing. If you don't share it with Yuanqing, it's just that it's not authentic, isn't it? "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

At this point, in fact, Li Yuanqing has some appreciation of Tian Hongyu's temperament.Although the two men also have a close relationship of interests, at least, in many cases, Tian Hong's "earthly spirit", especially his frankness, makes people very comfortable.

"Old brother. If you say so, you are taking Yuanqing as an outsider. It is a great pleasure of Yuanqing's life to drink with his elder brother. Old brother, please

Tian Hongyu couldn't help but be more pleased. He was busy smiling and hooked up with Li Yuanqing and entered the pub.

Due to limited manpower, xiaomeiniang can only cook one table of dishes at a meal.

Although she is very noble, like to associate with celebrities, as if money is like dirt, but people live in the world, after all, always eat first, isn't it?

Moreover, most taxis are relatively poor.

How can she neglect Tian Hong to meet the big money owner?

Soon, xiaomeiniang and the little girl like firewood girl took turns to serve wine and food. Tian Hongyu first offered Li Yuanqing a few glasses of wine, and let Li Yuanqing eat a few dishes to cushion his stomach. When the atmosphere was a little more lively, Tian Hongyu laughed, mysteriously took out a delicate wooden box from his pocket and pushed it to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "haha. Yuanqing, guess what's in it
