The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After leaving Mao Wenlong's residence, Li Yuanqing exhaled a long breath of turbid air and looked up at the sunset.

The setting sun on the seaside is extremely magnificent and full of afterglow. On the river surface under the cliff at the foot, a red corridor is set off. It is like a golden dragon with five claws. It wants to live.

The conversation with Mao Wenlong was quite pleasant. For Li Yuanqing's several proposals, Mao Wenlong gave a positive attitude.

However, it is difficult for Li Yuanqing to make it clear.

At this time, the whole line of Guangning army was defeated, and Mao Wenlong's outstanding fighting achievements were too obvious, some too eye-catching.

It's like a double-edged sword.

If we use it well, our strength will certainly go up to a higher level. On the contrary, if we are dragged down by fame and honor, we will fall into the mire of war that cannot be extricated

Li Yuanqing slowly spit out a mouthful of turbid gas and looked down at the river under his feet.

At this time, the river flowing at the bottom of the cliff looks like a flowing Golden Dragon because of the afterglow of the setting sun, but the cliff terrain on both sides is firmly stuck in it, unable to move

The ancients said, "it's too cold to be high.".

People are not sages. In the face of the coming overwhelming praise, even Mao Wenlong, how can he still keep his head clear?

But to this extent, Li Yuanqing is not good to say anything more.

Mao Wenlong's ambition is to be a marquis, and the honor at this time, like a golden key, has opened the door for him. Before long, he will become the Minister of the emperor.

At that time, only thunder, no rain, only flowers, no fruit. Even if Mao Wenlong could accept it, how could the emperor and the court accept it?

The sages said, "if you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you reach a goal, you will benefit the world."

After all, Li Yuanqing is not Mao Wenlong, so he can't make a decision for Mao Wenlong.

But in fact, things can also be considered from a different angle. In this situation, if Mao Wenlong chooses a radical strategy, it is not a bad thing.

If Mao Wenlong launched a large-scale offensive in Liaodong, it would also revive the imperial court's prestige and attract more Liao people to join in. It would also be a beneficial thing for Li Yuanqing.

However, there is an important premise that the imperial court must keep up with the supplies, provisions and military salaries of Mao Wenlong's headquarters.

Unfortunately, according to the current situation of the court, this is obviously difficult.

Li Yuanqing rubbed his temple tired, trying to ease his mind.

Since you can't change the general situation, do yourself well first.

Just like the two poles of the cold war in later generations, the Soviet Army's combat power is not weak, and its equipment and weapons are not not advanced enough. However, the military industry is abnormal and strong, but the domestic basic economic industries are in a state of collapse. In the end, it is only a reflection.

Eggs can't be put in one basket.

As long as Li Yuanqing can stand on his side, even if the imperial court does not supplement him in place, Li Yuanqing will have the opportunity to feed back the headquarters.

Having figured out this point, Li Yuanqing was also relieved.

At this time, the situation is very good, if you want to no longer fall into the quagmire of Dongjiang group in history, this will be the best opportunity to change.

Back at the station, Chen Zhong and Zhang pan just got up.

Both of them were huge, but they couldn't hold up the crowd offensive of these generals. Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, both of them were still a little dizzy.

"Yuanqing, what did you do? Mao Chenglu came here just now, and he treated him in the evening. Let's continue to make arrangements. " Chen Zhong rubbed the head.

Li Yuanqing was speechless. "Brother Chen, when did Mao Chenglu come here? Does he want to kill? "

"Yuan Qing, do you have people who are afraid of? don't worry. In the evening, let's do it three times. "

Li Yuanqing shakes his head in a hurry. Mao Chenglu is also a large number of generals and officers in the headquarters. Even if he can defeat him, the three of them will never take advantage of him.

It is not wise to kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

But all of them were brothers of their own. It was not easy for them to get together after so many days. If they didn't go, it would not be appropriate.

Li Yuanqing's mind is spinning rapidly. He must think of a way as soon as possible.

Just thinking about it, Mao Chenglu and Chen Jisheng walked in one after another with a smile.

"Ha ha. Yuan Qing, I finally got you this time. Don't say anything. I'll treat you tonight. Let's go. "

Mao Chenglu grabs Li Yuanqing's arm and drags it out, as if afraid that Li Yuanqing will slip away.

Chen Jisheng said with a smile, "Chenglu, what are you anxious about? We're all here, and we're afraid the boy will run away

Li Yuanqing quickly wryly said: "my brother ah, I'll listen to your arrangement tonight. You can drink as much as you want, OK?"

Mao Chenglu said with a smile, "Yuanqing, it's almost the same."

Several people frolic a few words, Chen Jisheng said with a smile: "Yuanqing, let's go out for a walk."

Li Yuanqing understood that Chen Jisheng had something to say to himself.Speaking of it, since I went to Guanglu Island, Li Yuanqing and Chen Jisheng had less opportunities to communicate with each other, and their relationship also had some differences.

Even if there was some unhappiness, it was Chen Jisheng. Li Yuanqing got on Mao Wenlong's chariot. Li Yuanqing also wanted to mend the relationship between them. He nodded happily and followed Chen Jisheng.

Li Yuanqing's temporary residence is at the foot of the hillside.

A few miles ahead is the vast sea, white sand, like a white ribbon, stretching to both sides.

Around the open space, densely dotted with a lot of thatched cottages, that is the PiDao many Ding Zhuang people's residence.

Li Yuanqing followed Chen Jisheng to a huge reef under the hillside. Chen Jisheng stepped on the reef and said with a smile: "the scenery here is really beautiful."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "when did you destroy JianNu? It's good to provide for the aged here."

Chen Jisheng a smile, "Yuan Qing, you really did not let me down."

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, it's just luck. If you're there, you should be better than me. "

Chen Jisheng laughed, "Yuanqing, you are still so careful."

Chen Jisheng didn't know anything about himself.

Chen Jisheng laughed and let the sea breeze brush his face and blow away his hair. "Yuanqing, what's your plan for the next step?"

Li Yuanqing knows that according to Chen Jisheng's identity, he wants to go out. In a short time, it is definitely impossible.

He was Mao Wenlong's right-hand man. Many things in PiDao should be done by himself, including the subsequent offensive. He was also the most important counselor.

This time, Li Yuanqing's three men were able to enter the capital to face the saints. Naturally, the admiration and jealousy of the generals in the headquarters were indispensable. Chen Jisheng should also be very envious of this opportunity.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "this time Guangning is lost, and there are not many wars in southern Liaoning. If the war on the eastern front of our department starts, I will ask my elder brother to take care of him and make some contribution with me. "

Chen Jisheng laughed, "Yuanqing, if there is such a chance, I hope our brothers will fight together."

Li Yuanqing understood Chen Jisheng's mind. He wanted to find a sense of existence, or satisfaction, from his side. Li Yuanqing followed his words. Soon, the atmosphere between the two became harmonious.

Seeing that it was almost time, Chen Jisheng said with a smile, "Yuanqing, let's go back. They have to wait. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and asked casually, "elder brother, what's the situation of our department's grain and grass now?"

Chen Jisheng looked at Li Yuanqing and said with a smile: "what? You are short of food and grass

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "the population has increased a lot, and missed the time of farming, it is really a bit of a struggle."

Chen Jisheng nodded, "wait until you come back from the capital. There is not enough food and grass here. When you come back, the provisions of the imperial court should also be allocated. At that time, my brother will leave more for you

Li Yuanqing has already understood the state of the headquarters and no longer says anything more. He follows Chen Jisheng.

……

It was another night's hangover. By this time, it was already the sixth day of March. Things in PiDao were almost the same. Li Yuanqing did not dare to stay in PiDao any more. He was really afraid of these generals.

Chen Zhong and Zhang pan are similar. After a brief discussion, they say goodbye to Mao Wenlong at noon. They leave PiDao immediately and return to Guanglu island before going to the capital to meet the saints.

Mao Wenlong did not have much qualitative requirements for the three men to visit Beijing.

After all, all three are Mao Wenlong's generals, and Mao Wenlong should take the lead in their achievements.

It's also a sign of absolute confidence and control.

Otherwise, if other generals have generals under their command who want to face saints, they will not have to instruct them for thousands of times, and they would like to teach them sentence by sentence.

Li Yuanqing's mood is also extremely happy. It's their ultimate honor to go to the capital to face the saint. Especially Chen Zhong, the double happiness is coming. This guy's mouth is about to be pulled behind his head.

On the deck, Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "brother Zhang, we'd better hurry up. Elder brother Chen's mother-in-law is about to give birth, and there is less than a month to go. If we make a quick trip, elder brother Chen will come back just in time for his sister-in-law to give birth. If we neglect it, it will be our sin. "

Zhang pan also responded and said with a smile: "it's natural. Yuanqing, thanks for your reminding, otherwise, it would be a crime. Mr. Chen, let's go to Guanglu Island first. I'll send someone to explain to Lvshun, and then go straight to Beijing. "

Chen Zhong said with a smile. Let's all explain. Although there is no war now, we can rest assured by keeping more hands to prepare. "

From Zhenjiang all the way to now, especially when he is about to have a son or daughter, Chen Zhong's temperament is much calmer than before.

Li Yuanqing also nodded with a smile and asked Zhang pan, "brother Zhang, I think the ship that the imperial court messenger took before is much faster than ours."

Zhang Pan said with a smile, "that's nature. Yuanqing, that's the imperial court's fast paddle boat. If it's full power, it's twice as fast as a sand boat like ours. "Li Yuanqing nodded. Now this kind of ordinary sand boat can sail about a hundred miles with the wind and the water, day and night. If it is a fast paddle boat, wouldn't it be possible to travel 200 miles a day?

If we can build a few of these fast paddle boats, no matter what we do, we should be quick.

Of course, Zhang pan understood Li Yuanqing's mind and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, it's not difficult to build a few of these fast paddle boats. When we come back from the capital, we will get a silver reward. My brother will do something for you. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed. Since Zhang Pan said so, he must have acquaintances in the navy of juehua island. In this way, it was really convenient.

"Hehe. Thank you, brother Zhang

The three men were talking, but they saw that not far ahead, there was a fast paddle boat with the flag of the sun and moon flying towards their side.

All three people's faces changed, and some of them didn't know why.

At this time, the fast paddle boat and the sand boat stood side by side, and the man in charge of a thousand official robes called out on the deck: "are you Zhang shoubei, Chen shoubei and Li shoubei under Marshal Mao?"

Zhang pan nodded to acknowledge.

The thousand households were very happy and said, "my humble position is the master of juehua island. Zhao Liang, one thousand households, was ordered by many adults to invite three people to go to western Liaoning."
