The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

emperor Chongzhen was slightly tired.

Last night, comforting and taking care of Tian's imperial concubine cost him a lot of energy and didn't sleep much.

At this time, looking at Li Yuanqing, who was modest and respectful, but also full of high spirits, Emperor Chongzhen didn't know what it was like for a moment.

He is afraid of Li Yuanqing.

But he also understood that at this time, he also needed Li Yuanqing very much.

For a moment, Emperor Chongzhen cleared his throat and said, "Ding Haibo, I will give you 12 points of trust and give you the greatest support. I hope you can pacify Haizhou as soon as possible, share the worries for me and the court, and solve the difficulties for the people!"

With that, Emperor Chongzhen's eyes, like a subdued eagle, were staring at Li Yuanqing's eyes.

Li Yuanqing, who had been prepared earlier, did not look at emperor Chongzhen with sharp eyes, but kowtowed respectfully and said in a deep voice: "Minister Li Yuanqing, I will devote myself to my life, recover my native land, drive away the Tartars, share the worries for the emperor, share the worries for the imperial court, and solve the difficulties for all the people!"

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen realized that he was too strict with Li Yuanqing, and his tone gradually softened. He said with a smile, "calm Haibo, you're all right. I believe you! I believe you, all the officials of the court

…………

With Li Yuanqing's "pearl jade" in front of him and later, even Chen Zhong, man GUI and Wu Sangui's awards have become fireflies. How can we compete with Li Yuanqing's bright moon?

Not to mention cannibals and marathon champions.

However, after all, it was a reward. Even though there were not many silver rewards, the whole court meeting was still full of a positive atmosphere.

However, Emperor Chongzhen did not communicate with Li Yuanqing, nor did he leave Li Yuanqing to talk further, which seemed to have given him great trust.

Out of Huangji hall, Li Yuanqing became the core of the core.

All the officials who knew or did not know wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing. They wanted to talk to Li Yuanqing, but they couldn't make it.

Fortunately, Wang Chengen helped Li Yuanqing out of the encirclement. He came to the side alone with Li Yuanqing and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, the emperor has high hopes for you. Yuanqing, do well. Fight for it, take Haizhou as soon as possible, and wipe out the disaster of Tartars

Li Yuanqing nodded his head and said, "don't worry. Yuanqing will try my best to do it!"

Wang Chengen laughed: "Yuanqing, when are you going to leave? I guess you don't have to worry about wine these days. Hehe

Li Yuanqing also laughed, "prince, Yuanqing plans to leave at noon. This time, Yuanqing has not returned to the island for nearly half a year. We must speed up the planning and dispatching and prepare for the Haizhou strategy! "

Wang Chengen came here on behalf of emperor Chongzhen. Although he had the intention of urging Li Yuanqing, he did not expect that Li Yuanqing would be in such a hurry. For a moment, he felt embarrassed, "Yuan Qing, is he so anxious? Take a rest for two days, and wait for all the documents to be printed before leaving. "

Li Yuanqing a smile: "there are princes here, these things, Yuanqing but want to be the shopkeeper."

Saying that, Li Yuanqing's face was solemn and many at once, "Wang Gong, this time, I don't know, you must take good care of yourself! I hope that Yuanqing's next visit to Beijing will bring good news to the king! "

How can Wang Chengen not understand Li Yuanqing?

For a moment, he nodded, "Yuanqing, you too! We must protect our own safety... "

…………

After leaving the palace and having breakfast, Li Yuanqing, without any nostalgia, went directly to Tianjin with Chen Zhong.

The generals of manchui, Zhang pan and Chen liangce will have to go on for a day or two before new documents are printed.

And Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are no longer so rare.

The two of them, their reputation, are much better than these vulgar things.

However, although the joy of the award has not yet dissipated, neither Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, nor the generals of Manchu and Guangxi can stay in the capital for too long.

At this time, spring has already begun, and everyone's acre of land is still waiting for everyone to go back and deal with a myriad of affairs.

The generals Zhang pan, Chen liangce and Xu fucuo did not mention the throne of commander in chief this time, but they all hung up the title of deputy commander-in-chief. With a little effort, the throne would not be far away.

With Pinggu's achievements in this battle, the transfer of manchui to Jizhen was no longer dishonorable, but aboveboard.

As for the throne of Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief, it is no accident that Ma Shilong, sun Chengzong's favorite general, will assume the post.

To a certain extent, this is just the right place. Ma Shilong has not been easy in the past two years. He is looking forward to his coming to power and spring.

Although there are rewards for ogres and ancestral brothers, they are only awards. Especially with the pressure of Li Yuanqing, they are just like clouds covering the sky and the sun. It may not be a temporary force for them to try their best.

But Wu Xiang and his son had a good harvest.

Not only was Wu Xiang's position strengthened and promoted to the former commander of Ningyuan army, but Wu Sangui was suddenly promoted to the position of general. It was like riding a rocket. He was proud of his youth and full of vigor.Although the main Tartars entered the pass this time, Daming suffered a lot of damage, but because Li Yuanqing recovered the 10% in Pinggu, it was not a broken bones.

Although Huang Taiji robbed 300000 young men of Han nationality, there was no reward given to them by female slaves. It was not so easy for him to calm the hearts of these men.

There are not many women in the Nuzhen nationality. It is not enough to give these true slaves, let alone these Han slaves.

Although many women were left behind by the war, most of these resources were concentrated in the hands of these princes, xungui and Taiji. How could it be possible for them to spit out the meat in their mouths and reward these Han slaves?

How could these Han slaves, who were used to the beauty of the Ming Dynasty, want these stout Mongolian women?

The best choice is Chaoxian, but it has been scraped three feet by Li Yuanqing. How come there are so many adult women

At this time, both Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's headquarters had already gone through the mountain customs line to return to Liaoning. Some of their relatives and female dependents had already arrived in Tianjin. Along the way, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong hardly stayed at all. They traveled all night. At noon the next day, they arrived at the wharf of Tianjin, directly boarded the ship and returned to southern Liaoning.

…………

Spring has already begun, and a lot of floating ice on the sea has dissipated. Although there are still many remains, it is not too difficult for two experienced elite sailors.

Not to mention, the two warships, all added heavy iron, can be called copper iron bone, compared to the main warship group of the Southern Ocean devils, is not much less.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong respectively took a rest on the ship for two days, and they also began to elaborate the strategy of Haizhou.

Houjin liked to send troops in the first month of the lunar month, probably because they felt that the Han people in the first month were more "fat" and rich in oil and water. Moreover, they did not delay their own time after they finished the fight.

But for the Han people, the best time to fight is after the spring and before winter.

Even if the Han people have a strong adaptability, the problem of firing guns such as bird guns and guns has long been solved in the long life camp. However, fighting in ice and snow is not a strong point of the Han people. Even if it is the Liaoning people who are hard-working and cold-resistant.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not direct the spring ploughing in the southern Liaoning headquarters, the systems of the two departments had been very mature, and the spring ploughing was smooth and normal.

The grain and forage reserves of the two departments have already passed the scale of tens of millions of stones. Even if there is no harvest and no food and salary, it will not be too difficult to support for a year and a half or even two years.

In particular, to take Haizhou, the most critical supply channel is the three fork river.

As long as Sancha River was controlled, even if Gaizhou was ignored, it would be enough to support the Ming army's supplies in Haizhou.

In winter, Sancha River was frozen. For Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, it was almost a disaster.

Li Yuanqing's boat, spacious and comfortable conference room.

Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Yang Lei, Li Sansheng, Chen Changyou, Chen Changliang, Jin Huizi, etc. gathered here.

Chen Zhong took a deep breath of his cigar and said, "Yuanqing, just as the old saying goes, take advantage of his illness and kill him! Although the main Tartars entered the pass this time, their harvest was not very small, but they came out of Dingkou so many young people that their spring ploughing could not keep up with them. If we want to fight Haizhou, I mean, the sooner the better. However, the difficulty of Haizhou is not to conquer Haizhou, but how to keep it! This is really a headache. "

Li Sansheng said with a smile: "what Chen Shuai said is good. The Tartars did not deploy many troops in Haizhou, but they were busy dividing up the spoils when they went back. If the troops were successful, they might be able to conquer them in an hour or two. But Haizhou suffered floods before, the walls were not stable, and Tartars did not make good repairs. The key is that we have not really started to implement the supply point of Chahe river again and again. Commander in chief, the meaning of humble duty is to postpone this matter a little bit. After two or three months, everything is almost ready. It's not too late to start again. "

Chen Zhong shook his head, "Sansheng, you are right. However, in two or three months, it will be summer. It's easy for our supplies to go wrong in summer. Moreover, according to Huang Taiji's intelligence system in Daming, we will soon know our Haizhou strategic plan. Once he's on guard, I'm afraid it's going to change again. "

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly and pondered for a moment: "this is what the war is like. Fast has the advantages of fast, and slow has the advantages of slow. The key lies in the choice. Elder brother, how many troops do you think we need to guard Haizhou? "

Chen Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Yuanqing, Haizhou is the gateway of Liaozhong, and it is going straight to the hinterland of Tartars. Huang Taiji will never let us take Haizhou. If this guy is in a hurry It's really hard to say

Yang Lei said: "marshal, Chen Shuai, brothers, I feel that this matter should be done quickly rather than later. I'm afraid that the appointment of the commander-in-chief will soon spread to Shenyang. At that time, even if Huang Taiji does nothing else but directly destroys Haizhou City, it will be a big problem for us. "

"Indeed."Chen Zhong breathed out a long murmur, "Yuanqing, it is not difficult for us to build a city on the spot, but it is a good thing to have Haizhou's inherent city support, which can save us a lot of energy. As for the imperial court, it seems that we have fallen behind in building a city on the spot. This is really a tangle. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, there are still three days to go before returning to Changsheng island. Let's not be in a hurry. Just weigh and deliberate
