The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Early in the morning, the first ray of sunlight into the window eaves, Li Yuanqing instinctively opened his eyes.

Last night, I chatted with Liu Dadou in the middle of the night. Although I was a little tired, Li Yuanqing's spirit was excellent.

In terms of the general situation, Li Yuanqing is beyond his reach, but at least, every step he takes now is very solid and gradually moves forward.

Although Liu Dadou did not have a script at this time, after all, he was Luo Yitong's personal soldier leader. As long as he had a firm foothold and waved his arm, it would not be difficult to gather people and horses together.

Although he seems a bit reckless, he is not stupid. In addition, he is a general in western Liaoning Province, which will play a very subtle role in many aspects in the future.

At this point in the joint to pull him up, Li Yuanqing also has enough assurance, firmly control him in the palm of his hand.

After washing, Li Yuanqing went downstairs to the front hall and asked for a bowl of millet porridge, two steamed buns, and a dish of pickled vegetables. They chewed and ate it slowly, and then shunzi and Yang Xiaobo, the family soldiers, got up.

Shunzi was speechless. "Brother, did you sleep so late last night? Why did you get up so early today? "

Li Yuanqing smiles and kicks shunzi. "Tomorrow, you have to get up behind me and go out and run three times around the front Tunpu."

Shunzi said with a smile, "brother, I must get up early tomorrow."

"All right. Less glib. Let's eat first. After dinner, there's business. "

"Yes."

After finishing cleaning up, Li Yuanqing sat on the table in front of the window for a long time in the sun. Zhang pan and Chen Zhongcai got up.

Chen Zhong rubbed his eyes tired, "Yuanqing, get up so early."

"Ha ha. A little excited. I don't sleep so well. " Li Yuanqing a smile, "elder brother Chen, elder brother Zhang, I have breakfast ready for them. After dinner, let's go and do business."

Three people look at each other and smile. Chen Zhong and Zhang pan go to have breakfast.

At this time, Liu Dadou also got up, quickly came to Li Yuanqing, some surprise way: "Yuanqing, get up so early?"

Li Yuanqing smiles, "the adults are summoned. Naturally, we should make more preparations. What about? Brother Dadu, have you considered it? Do you want to go to Beijing with me, or do you want to prepare here? "

Liu Dadou's eyes turned red. Obviously, he didn't sleep well last night. After thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "Yuanqing, I want to stay here for a while. Although you and I are old friends, I have not made any achievements. If I lead the army, I can't convince the people. Before the brothers and brothers scattered, but also desperate. Now that there is hope, I want to bring them together again. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, "OK. However, brother Dadu, don't be forced to do anything. I think there are many refugees here... "

Li Yuanqing whispered a few words to Liu Dadou's ear.

Liu Dadou's eyes lit up. "Yuanqing, why didn't I think of it? Don't worry, I should be able to handle it well. "

With a smile, Li Yuanqing took out a hundred taels of silver notes from his arms and handed them to Liu Dadou. "More than 20 days, less than half a month, I will come back. At that time, you can get ready in advance and we will go back to Changsheng Island together. "

Liu Dadou nodded quickly, "Yuanqing, don't worry. I'll do it right away. "

Liu Dadou left the inn like a wind. Chen Zhong and Zhang pan finished eating. Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "it's almost time. It's time for us to visit all the adults."

Chen Zhong and Zhang pan nodded and the three walked out of the door together.

……

At this time, Wang Huazhen and Xiong Tingbi left their posts, and the main force of the army retreated to Guanzhong. In this section of the corridor of western Liaoning, there were basically no leaders. No matter whether they were civil servants or military generals, everyone was in a state of panic.

At this time, Wang Zaijin had not taken office, sun Chengzong had not accepted the bid, and Ningyuan Fort had not been built. Most of the old fortresses in the corridor of western Liaoning were Qiantun, which had a backward defense system and was very fragile.

Talking with Liu Dadou last night, Li Yuanqing has found out the details of Qiantun.

Now, the highest official in Qiantun is Fang Zhenru, the governor of Liaodong.

After Guangning was defeated, Fang Zhenru joined the army of refugees, rode a small donkey, escaped the Daling River, and temporarily settled in Qiantun.

For Fang Zhenru, Li Yuanqing is not very familiar with. But Liu Dadou said that he was very honest and had a good reputation in Liao.

Although the rank of the governor is not high, he can go straight to heaven and listen to the emperor.

Fang Zhenru has been in the Liao area for several years. It can be said that he can manage both the army and the government. If he wants to buy a family property and build a luxury house of dozens of acres, he will be able to capture it.

Unfortunately, when he escaped from Guangning City, there was only an old servant beside him, not even a servant girl.

In addition, he did not go back with the main force, but maintained order and gathered refugees in Qiantun. Although his means were not very high and everything seemed to be very bad, it was extremely valuable in such a large environment.

To a certain extent, this also made Li Yuanqing have a trace of good will for him. Perhaps, the meeting was not as bad as expected.

When they arrived at the official hall, it was 9 o'clock in the morning, and all aspects of business were running.The soldiers went to the door to report. Soon, news came from inside and asked Li Yuanqing to enter.

After a while, the three men were taken to the official hall. They were just seeing a thin middle-aged man in a red robe sitting in the middle of the hall. On both sides, there were several officials sitting, looking at the official clothes and the black yarn. They were all six grade officials.

In the late Wanli period, the situation in the Liao Dynasty was very serious. However, the emperor was very stingy. After several decades of fighting, the three expeditions cost only a few million taels of silver. It can be said that a penny can be broken into two halves.

However, after the emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, the situation in Liao became more and more serious. Tianqi was not as stingy as his grandfather. With a stroke of a pen, the treatment of Liao land increased in a straight line.

In the first year of Tianqi, all kinds of expenses in Liaodong had reached the scale of 10 million taels.

Correspondingly, although the rank of the officials is the same as that of the Inner Mongolia, the gold content is higher.

Unfortunately, with the fall of Guangning City, most of the hard-earned money of the Ming Empire and the common people's fat and cream fell into the hands of the old slaves.

At this time, in addition to Fang Zhenru, he was barely able to be counted as a senior official. The rest of the officials were basically out of the stream.

Li Yuanqing also knew that the environment in Liao had reached the freezing point.

"Zhang pan, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing have met you all."

Li Yuanqing three people respectfully salute the civil servants in the hall.

Although the rank of military officer is high, the actual position is very low, especially in front of civil servants.

Even if Mao Wenlong met Fang Zhenru at this time, he was afraid to salute, but he didn't need to kneel down.

"Sure enough, they are all good men. You guys, get up. " Fang Zhenru looked at Li Yuanqing for a moment. A flash of light flashed in his eyes and waved his hand with a smile, indicating the three of them to get up.

"Thank you." The three men got up cautiously and did not dare to speak much. They stood aside.

Li Yuanqing is also the eye view nose, nose view heart, dare not have the slightest movement.

According to Fang Zhenru's right, even if Li Yuanqing is not satisfied with his eyes, he can be dragged out at any time to fight against him without any reason.

Of course, Li Yuanqing's three men had the gold medal to face the saint in Beijing at this time. Fang Zhenru should not dare to be so blatant.

Fang Zhenru seemed to be very satisfied with Li Yuanqing's attitude. After a long pause, he said with a smile: "I've heard of the names of the three generals for a long time. Today I see them. It's really extraordinary. Who is general Zhang pan of Lushun? "

Zhang Pan rushed out to salute, "humble duty is Lvshun zhangpan."

"Who is general Chen Zhongchen from Hiroshima?"

Chen Zhong also rushed out to salute.

Fang Zhenru asked Li Yuanqing again. Li Yuanqing also rushed out of the line and made a simple self introduction to let everyone know.

According to the rank of the three, they can not be called generals at this time. Only those above guerrillas can be called generals.

However, it will be sooner or later for the three men to go to Beijing to face the saints after making such great contributions.

Fang Zhenru is not stupid. If he wants to win over the three people, he will not haggle over the details, which is enough for Li Yuanqing.

For a moment, Fang Zhenru sighed and said, "Liao is in danger. I am deeply worried. However, the general situation is like this, and I am also powerless. Three generals, you are all heroes. Can you tell me how you caught Hu erhan, the Assistant Minister of the Late Jin Dynasty? "

Several civil servants next to them also raised their ears. It seems that they are also very concerned about this matter.

Among the three, Chen Zhong and Zhang pan are senior, and Zhang pan is the most stable. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong make eye contact to let Zhang pan explain.

Zhang pan went out of the line carefully, and respectfully described the battle of Sanchahe ferry to the people. At last, Zhang Pan said, "gentlemen, it's just luck to go deep into the hinterland of western Liaoning to catch Hu erhan. If the later Jin Dynasty had been prepared, it would be very difficult to achieve it with the troops of the humble rank at that time. "

Fang Zhenru nodded and fell into deep thinking.

A few civil servants nearby were also whispering with each other, and a burst of low voice quotations came in succession.

For a moment, a middle-aged official in his early 40s said, "General Zhang, I have a question. At that time, you were besieging Jinzhou City. Seeing that the city was about to be captured, why did you suddenly give up and go deep into the hinterland of western Liaoning? But what accurate information did you get? "

"This?"

Zhang pan was stunned. He thought for a moment and said, "return to this adult. At that time, several humble departments were really besieging Jinzhou. However, the walls of Jinzhou city are high and thick, and the resistance of JianNu is fierce. Some of the junior officers suffered heavy casualties, but they were not allowed to leave. At that time, there was no enough food and grass for those in humble positions. If we want to continue to attack strongly, we have not much confidence. After careful analysis and discussion, they analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of JianNu and the merits and demerits of several humble ministries, and then made this decision, and decided to go deep into the hinterland of Liaoning Province to change the angle to see if there was any harvest. Fortunately, a few of them are lucky enough to live up to the holy grace. "

Zhang Pan's words are almost a copy of what Li Yuanqing said at that time. At this time, he carefully organized, but there was no flaw.

The middle-aged civil servant nodded and thought for a long time, and then he said: "although it's luck, it's more daring and meticulous. Otherwise, there will be no such opportunity. "Fang Zhenru also nodded, "not bad. It's just a tiger pulling his teeth out. As the ancients said, if you don't go into the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger? "

The middle-aged civil servant said again, "General Zhang, according to what you say, JianNu is really not good at water war? Not even the ability to cross the river? I have been to Liaoyang and Shenyang before, but there are many big rivers in Liaoning. "

"Eh?"

Zhang pan was stunned, and the cold sweat on his forehead seeped out. Before, the civil servant's questions had the foundation of Li Yuanqing, and he could barely cope with it. But at this time, the civil servant's question was so tricky that he could not react for a moment. He looked at Li Yuanqing like a cry for help.

With a smile, Li Yuanqing bowed out and said, "back to this adult, JianNu is really not good at water war. Their strong point is their iron horse. As for the ability to cross the river, of course they do. However, in the war of that day, the humble class occupied the ferry first one day ahead of time, and blocked the fishermen and fishing boats gathered around them, so that they had no power to cross the river. "

The middle-aged civil servant nodded and said with a smile, "is this the right time, the right place and the right people? You are well prepared, so you will have more choices in the future

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "not bad."

The middle-aged civilian official laughed and said, "I heard that every time JianNu went to war, the sentries were like ants. General Li, under the circumstances, how did you deal with these sentries?"
