The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Wang Zaijin's conservative strategy made it difficult for him to win too much support in the imperial court, and many people under him were dissatisfied.

In August, he was transferred from the Liao Dynasty to the Minister of the Ministry of war in Nanjing. Instead, he was replaced by sun Chengzong, the Grand Master of Dongge, the Shangshu of the military department, and the imperial division.

After taking office, sun Chengzong made great moves against the western Liaoning army. He eliminated some of the old, the weak and the disabled, and organized and trained many new armies. At the same time, he promoted a large number of young generals, and integrated the general of guanning more closely. The prototype of guanning Army has been formed.

Among them, the greatest beneficiary was Zhao Zhijiao, who recovered the great achievements of Qiantun.

Under the protection of sun Chengzong, Zhao Daojiao has become a general soldier.

At the same time, sun Chengzong was in western Liaoning, Li Banghua, governor of Tianjin, and Yuan Keli, governor of Denglai, were in charge of Denglai. The inherent defense system of Daming against the later Jin army was basically formed.

At this time, sun Chengzong was inspecting the defense of Qiantun, and Li Yuanqing went directly to Qiantun by boat.

Mao Wenlong's conservative attitude also made Li Yuanqing understand more and deeper things.

Although Li Yuanqing is also the sequence of Mao Wenlong's family members, there are still differences between them

Along the way, Li Yuanqing was also thinking about why Sun Chengzong wanted to see him? What is his specialty that can attract people's attention?

From Shenyang all the way to the present, Li Yuanqing almost climbed out of the dead, and killed at least 800 Tartars.

According to his achievements, I'm afraid that he can get rid of Zhao's leading education for dozens of streets.

But the fact is that Zhao Zhijiao has become a general soldier, while Li Yuanqing is only a guerrilla.

Of course, Zhao's religious background is hundreds of times more noble than Li Yuanqing, which also means sun Chengzong's "thousands of gold to buy horse bones". However, sun Chengzong's support can not help but arouse people's interest.

Dongjiang, the pattern is too small.

Big fish, only in the river, will live better.

But if you jump directly to the west of Liaoning, it is absolutely unwise.

Not to mention the intricate entanglement of generals, at least, in Dongjiang, Li Yuanqing still has Changsheng Island, his Changsheng Island, but what can this land do with the plight of western Liaoning?

The journey was smooth.

Li Yuanqing has been to Qiantun several times, and he is no stranger.

However, compared with the previous time, great changes have taken place in Qiantun. The refugees who were originally scattered have disappeared. Outside the fort, many new houses have been built. Although there are still dishes on the people in the past, they have been greatly improved.

Entering the castle, the streets are also tidied up very neatly. The shops on both sides look prosperous. Although there is not a lot of people coming and going, they are more regular.

Li Yuanqing nodded in secret.

The reason why Zhao Daojiao remained famous in history was that he had his ability.

Of course, it may also be that sun Chengzong has done a lot of face work here.

When he came to the official hall, Li Yuanqing informed his name directly. Soon, he got a letter, and the elder let Li Yuanqing go in.

In the face of sun Chengzong, Li Yuanqing also picked up his mind, simply arranged his appearance, followed his servants, and quickly walked into the house.

Before that, Fang Zhenru once hosted Li Yuanqing, Zhang pan and Chen Zhong in this official hall. Li Yuanqing was no stranger. At this time, although the indoor scenery did not change much, sun Chengzong's name was placed here, and Li Yuanqing began to feel nervous.

"General Li, please stay here for a moment. The old man will come here later." The servant said, and left gently.

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to sit down. He quickly bowed his hands.

A glimpse of the whole leopard.

Looking at the situation of the servant, he didn't have the arrogance of "seven grade officials in front of the prime minister's door". This also made Li Yuanqing a little relaxed. The famous old sun Ge elder should not be a person who likes to put on airs.

Not long ago, an old man in purple boa robe, about 60 years old, came out of the room with the help of a boy.

Li Yuanqing quickly knelt down, "humble Dongjiang commander Shengdao Dusi Li Yuanqing, met the elder cabinet."

Then he knocked his head heavily.

Sun Chengzong said with a faint smile, "General Li, please get up quickly. Show me your seat for General Li. "

"Yes." The boy moved the seat to Li Yuanqing.

"Xie Ge Lao." Li Yuanqing stood up carefully, but he did not dare to sit down. His half butt touched the wooden pier seat slightly and looked respectfully at sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong's face is very generous. He can see a lot of white silk in his eyebrows and hair, but he is in a good mental state. He has a pair of eyes and is embarrassed.

He looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile, "General Li, I've heard your name for a long time. Originally, I wanted to see you for a long time. Unfortunately, this period of time is complicated, and it is only in these days that I have time. "

Li Yuanqing hastened to bow his hands respectfully and said, "the old man in the attic loves me. It's not worth mentioning that the humble position and the humble martial arts man have made little contribution. "

Sun Chengzong said with a smile, "General Li, you don't have to be too modest. You captured Hu erhan alive, including the Lushun war a few days ago, and did a good job."

Looking at sun Chengzong's amiable attitude, Li Yuanqing also slightly relaxed.At the request of sun Chengzong, Li Yuanqing briefly narrated to him the process of the guard battle in Lushun.

When sun Chengzong heard the speech, he frowned and did not speak for a long time.

Li Yuanqing knew that sun Chengzong's fortress strategy should take shape now. Therefore, he attached great importance to the success of the Lushun garrison battle.

Li Yuanqing did not say much, waiting for sun Chengzong's consideration.

For a long time, sun Chengzong said with a smile: "General Li, in your opinion, if you build a fort in western Liaoning, how should we deal with the attack of the later Jin Dynasty?"

Here it is.

Li Yuanqing is clever and his mind is spinning rapidly.

Sun Chengzong wants to build a fort in the west of Liaoning Province and adopt the fixed-point defense strategy. I'm afraid this is a foregone conclusion. It is also the wish of many parties.

Even though he knew that this would bring down Daming's finance, how dare Li Yuanqing say so at this time?

After careful consideration, Li Yuanqing said: "the most important thing to build a fortress is to threaten the land and benefit. The key points of card Lord Liaoxi block the only way for the later Jin Dynasty to attack Liaoxi."

Sun Chengzong nodded. Li Yuanqing didn't have much nutrition. He motioned Li Yuanqing to continue with his eyes.

Li Yuanqing pauses and stealthily glances at sun Chengzong.

If you want to leave a shadow in old sun's heart, you must have some strong medicine, but you can't make taboos.

"I think that I have made many mistakes in my understanding of the later Jin Dynasty before." Li Yuanqing is careful to explore and secretly looks at sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong frowned, "Oh? What's the answer? "

Li Yuanqing continued: "Ge Lao, Hou Jin was not only good at field operations, but also extremely good at attacking cities. At that time, Shenyang, Liaoyang, Guangning, including xipingbao, were all descended from Jinke city. When I was in Zhenjiang, and before I was in Lvshun, I had to face the attack of Jin. In my humble opinion, even though the terrain of the city is very dangerous, as long as there is time, the army of the later Jin Dynasty can push earth and fill ditches to make up for the lack of terrain. Most of these people are slaves of Han people and will not waste the military power of later Jin Dynasty. So when the castle was set up, it was a big factor for us to consider. "

Sun Chengzong nodded and sighed: "Tartars are savage. This is the pain of Ming Dynasty. General Li, do you have any good idea? "

Li Yuanqing said: "there are two main aspects to prevent Tartars from pushing the earth. 1、 We must ensure that the fortress is solid and the roads are smooth. In case of war, reinforcements can arrive as soon as possible. "

Sun Chengzong nodded slowly.

Li Yuanqing also said: "what's more, it is necessary to set up some long-range defensive weapons in the city, so as to suppress the Tartar's advancing attack from a long distance. This is also my personal experience in the battle of Lushun. Once the Tartars' bulldozing offensive is overcome, they have no great way but to delay their time and use the night or other time to push the earth. This will give our army more time. It will also give our army more opportunities to block their offensive. "

Sun Chengzong looked at Li Yuanqing and said, "General Li, I don't know what the long-range defense weapon you mentioned is for?"

Li Yuanqing said in a hurry: "I heard that I bought a kind of cannons in red from the barbarians in Macao in the early Ming Dynasty. This kind of cannon is far more powerful than that of Daming's, and its range can reach a mile and a half. If you can set up this kind of sharp weapon in the fortress city, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and the Tartars will not be able to move forward

This method was put forward by governor yuan when he was building Ningyuan city and began to implement it.

At this time, Li Yuanqing directly told sun Chengzong.

With sun Chengzong's energy, what kind of wages and materials, this is not a problem at all.

It's better to buy more guns in red than to spend money on extravagant life. Even if the foreign devils can earn some money, these things will at least be useful and will not be wasted in vain.

After that, Li Yuanqing really stabilized and set up the Navy. Sooner or later, he would let these foreign devils spit out what they ate.

Sun Chengzong listened to the speech and pondered for a long time.

From his experience, he knew about the red cannon. In fact, there was a minister under his command who highly praised the gun.

At this time, Li Yuanqing, a general on the front line, gained valuable experience from the actual combat, which added more weight to sun Chengzong's heart.

"Ha ha. I have written down this matter. General Li, what else do you think about Tartars

Sun Chengzong also asked Li Yuanqing many questions about their fighting habits and living habits.

In this regard, Li Yuanqing understood it very well and gave answers to sun Chengzong one by one.

From noon to the afternoon, a few hours later, they did not eat, sun Chengzong still had some unfinished business. At this time, the boy ran over and whispered a few words to sun Chengzong.

Sun Chengzong said with a tired smile, "ha ha, I'm so happy that I forgot the time. Yuan Qing, are you hungry, too? Well, there's a dinner party in the evening. You can join us. "

He said, waving his hand to the boy beside him: "take general Li down to have a good rest."

"Yes." The boy saluted Li Yuanqing and said, "General Li, please follow me."Hearing that sun Chengzong no longer called himself General Li, but Yuanqing, Li Yuanqing's mouth slightly cocked up. Today's saliva was not in vain. He said respectfully: "senior cabinet, I'm going to leave my humble post first."
