The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Setting up temporary camp in summer is much simpler than that in winter. The most direct way is not to consider the complicated factors of keeping warm.

However, in summer, there is also a major drawback, that is, there are many mosquitoes, which can easily infect diseases.

Therefore, the first major event in the establishment of the camp was that Li Yuanqing ordered the construction of toilets first. No matter the soldiers in the war or the auxiliary soldiers, including Li Yuanqing himself, must go to the toilets at fixed points.

After breakfast and half an hour's rest, the temporary camp has basically been built, but the most important wharf construction work is much more complicated and needs a lot of time.

At this time, the Sentinels that had been spread out before had already found the headquarters of Changsheng camp and reported to Li Yuanqing the latest war report in Fuzhou area at that time.

Fuzhou is a big city in the south of Liaoning Province, which is not far from the coast. At this time, Fuzhou was under the command of yuetuo, the leader of the red flag banner in the later Jin Dynasty. The number of troops was not more than 1000, and the number of zhennu was only a few hundred.

Because of the existence of Lushunkou, the main forces of red flag and blue flag in southern Liaoning Province all focused on the defense line of Jinzhou, and the defense of Fuzhou city itself was not so strict.

However, in Yongning, which is not far from Fuzhou City, there are more than 400 Zhenglanqi zhennu cavalry in the salt field and several mines, which will be the biggest threat to the headquarters of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng camp.

The yangguanbao, which is only 20 miles away from the temporary camp, also has the defensive strength of hundreds of people. However, there are few real slaves, but there are dozens of horses, so the combat power can be almost ignored.

On the basis of the existing information, Li Yuanqing summoned several major officers to hold a temporary military conference, which explained the intention of invading and resuming the state.

The officers did not expect Li Yuanqing to have such a big appetite this time, and they were very excited.

Duan Xiliang said: "general, if you fight back to the city, your humble position and the 1000th general team are willing to be the vanguard."

"General, the 3000 corps, is also willing to be the vanguard."

Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with the officers' attitude. He waved his hand with a smile and looked at the most stable official Canghai. "Canghai, what do you think?"

Guan Canghai laughed, "I'd like to fight Fu Zhou now. However, we must first go to its wings and turn it into an isolated city. General, the yangguanbao is close at hand, isn't it eye-catching to let them stay here? "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "I mean the same thing. However, we should not worry too much about this matter. Now, give me a military order, boys and girls will take a day off during the day and March at night. "

"Yes."

……

Although the temporary camp is simple and crude, it is land after all, and it is always more comfortable than the boat. In addition, the long life camp has sufficient materials, so the soldiers can eat and drink enough, and their spirit is particularly vigorous.

Night soon fell, Li Yuanqing orders, Changsheng camp main force, quietly drove to the southeast direction of yangguanbao.

At this time, many soldiers in the Ming army were suffering from night blindness. The main reason was that the nutritional conditions were too poor and people lacked many necessary microbial elements. However, the Changsheng camp, including Dongjiang headquarters, could often eat some fresh fish and shrimp because of their geographical advantages. This factor was no longer affected.

In midsummer, the weather is clear, the moon is clear, and the visibility is high at night.

The team without a torch, like a dark red long dragon, quickly and compact into the southeast direction.

Before that, Li Yuanqing had the experience of marching for dozens of miles at night. However, at that time, the troops of Li Yuanqing's headquarters were very few, only a few hundred, and they were all old troops, which were easy to control. But at this time, the troop of 2000 people was nearly 10 times larger than before. This kind of control power was due to the limitation of communication conditions and the officers could not shout at night, which was bound to be reduced Weaker.

In the daytime, it is not too difficult for the team to travel 30, 40, or even 50, 60 Li a day. However, at night, when various factors meet, it is not natural to add a lot of difficulties.

Especially in summer, the ground is full of weeds, it is difficult to find the original road, the soldiers are very difficult to walk.

Li Yuanqing's ankle was also cut by unknown plants, itching and painful, very annoying.

However, there are some complex terrain, but gave Li Yuanqing a lot of confidence.

After the Jin Dynasty's policy of banning the sea, the coastal areas gradually formed wasteland. Nature began to take root and sprout crazily here, and gradually erased the traces left by human beings. For example, such deep grass, Houjin cavalry would never dare to enter.

This left more space for Li Yuanqing and the main force of Changsheng camp.

The team started from dark, and it was not until midnight that they left less than 10 Li. The march was quite difficult.

However, the more we went inland, the more obvious the signs of people were. After walking about 123 Li, we could already see the fields and a few sparse villages. The morale of the soldiers was also uplifted.

At dawn, the team arrived at yangguanbao successfully. Li Yuanqing immediately dispatched several general troops to guard several key intersections around the castle, allowing the main force to rest in the grass two miles away. He took several officers and went forward hundreds of steps to investigate the situation of Yangguan fort.Yangguan castle is a big castle. However, after the Jin army occupied it, it was obviously not repaired effectively. The castle appeared to be a bit dilapidated, and there were still many clear traces left by the war.

But there are several sand and stone hills near Yangguan castle. The walls of the castle are all made of sand and stone, nearly 8 meters high. If you want to attack hard, it is not easy to fight.

Li Yuanqing turned to look at several officers, "what do you think?"

Duan Xiliang said: "this small castle is still a tough one. This terrain is really good. General, if you want to attack hard, I'm sure I'll take it in an hour

Li Yuanqing nodded, but shook his head again, "it's not urgent to attack hard. And you? What do you think? "

Li Yuanqing looks at Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi.

At this time, Xu Heizi also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning. He scanned the continuous wheat fields under the castle and said with a smile: "general, although the wheat here is not good, it is not too bad. I think we might as well take these dog Tartars. "

Guan Canghai could not help laughing, "this method is good."

Duan Xiliang also responded, and said with great joy: "first, the wheat will be collected, and the dog's day will not come out."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile. That's it. It would be better if the Tartars in Fuzhou City could be brought out as well. "

……

As the sun rose and the sky began to shine, Wang Sanwa yawned and stretched hard to get up from the turret on the south side of Yangguan castle.

He was born in the local military family of yangguanbao. After the Tartars came, his family did not flee in a hurry like most of the military families, but obediently became obedient to the people.

Thinking of their loyalty and obedience, the Tartars took wangsanwa into the military flag of the Han Dynasty. Although the monthly food and salary were not much, the farmland was divided into several acres, which was much better than that in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, the two masters were especially loyal to the tartar master.

"Hehe. The wheat is not bad this year. My family has more than ten mu of land, and the harvest is certainly not bad. After harvesting the wheat and selling some surplus grain, it's time to turn over the old house. Then, find a good matchmaker and make a good marriage. This day, it's really not for a fairy. It's still my father. I didn't run with those stupid hats. It's said that the former Qianhu adult is now in Lushun, and he has become a deputy general manager. "

Wang Sanwa thought happily and washed her face with cold water in the bucket. "Today is the end of the night. I have to go home and tell my father. Ximen, the fifth aunt of Mu Zhen's son, is pregnant again. She has to prepare a generous gift for the master in advance. "

He heard about this news from a coat under the command of master Mu Zhen last night.

Although Wang Sanwa's family had become the shunmin of the later Jin Dynasty and received a lot of "benefiting the people" treatment, in fact, it was still far from the so-called coating.

Apart from other things, the Han people from Liaozhong only went to Da Jin a few months earlier than they did, and they could get more than 20 mu of good farmland. Although they had to help the master and son's family, they could also employ them to work hard.

Wang Sanwa has made up his mind for a long time. This year, he has to be a coater. Maybe, if he does well, the master will reward him with a small official. Then his old Wang family will be really developed.

"Ah, bah --" she rinsed her mouth hard and sprayed the water from her mouth to the corner tower. After moving her lower body, Wang Sanwa was ready to climb down the turret to make an assignment.

But at this time, he suddenly saw that there was something wrong with the direction of his family's field.

Wang Sanwa quickly rubbed her eyes and looked at it carefully. She was shocked. Unexpectedly, someone was collecting their wheat.

Who gave them the courage? Don't they want to live?

Wait. Wang Sanwa was suddenly stunned. This, it seems, is not right.

Looking at a few red dots in the field, Wang Sanwa suddenly thought of something, and then carefully looked, dog day, around these fields, there are these red spots.

In particular, in the field not far from the castle, dozens of red dots were talking and laughing, but only two miles away. Wang Sanwa could see clearly.

For a moment, he finally responded, "mother. It's the Ming army. No, it's minggou. It's minggou. Here comes the dog, Mingzi. Master, they are collecting our wheat

Wang Sanwa cried out like a pig.

……

The reaction of yangguanbao was more than half an hour later than Li Yuanqing expected.

This also let Li Yuanqing know that, to a large extent, the defensive strength of the later Jin Dynasty to the hinterland of southern Liaoning was far less rigorous than he imagined.

At this time, the weak and the strong, how can Li Yuanqing save face for these Tartars?

In addition to leaving 600 people stuck at several intersections and keeping the Chinese army in their own camp, all the other soldiers and auxiliary soldiers, ordered by Li Yuanqing, all joined in the wheat harvesting team.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to see if the invincible army of the latter Jin Dynasty would dare to go to war under such circumstances.
