The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Seeing that Zhu Youjian was finally brought up, the little emperor of Tianqi could not help but be very happy. He also stopped selling his son and said with a smile: "this is from Li Yuanqing, Changsheng Island, Liaodong. It's said that there are two whales in total, which were slaughtered by Li Yuanqing himself. "

"Li Yuanqing?" Zhu Youjian was stunned.

He is no stranger to the name.

Because of the great love of the emperor, Zhu Youjian had already set up his government, but he had to study in the palace every day. He was somewhat involved in the military and political affairs of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Liao affairs. Although he was young, it was related to the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty and the great events of his ancestors' rivers, mountains and countries. He was particularly concerned.

This year, during the Guangning war in early spring, Li Yuanqing captured Hu erhan alive, then attacked in midsummer, attacked Fuzhou City, and later defended Lushun, Zhu Youjian did a detailed study and got a deeper understanding of Li Yuanqing.

"This is a man who can lead soldiers to war." This is Zhu Youjian's evaluation of Li Yuanqing.

But if Li Yuanqing knew that the future emperor Chongzhen would think about himself so much, I'm afraid he would get goose bumps.

Sir, it's not easy to be provoked. Who is on his mind

"Brother of the emperor, even though Li Yuanqing is brave, how can he kill whales by himself? This, this is impossible? " Zhu Youjian understood the existence of whales from the book, and it was difficult to believe such a thing.

The little emperor of Tianqi told him the story with a smile.

After listening to the speech, Zhu Youjian pondered for a long time, and then slowly said, "it's really a warrior. It's a great honor for our country to have such generals. "

The emperor also nodded.

When we met for the first time, Li Yuanqing's conservatism left a bad impression on him. On the contrary, he appreciated the radicalism of Zhang pan.

But with the passage of time and the examination of facts, the little emperor of the Apocalypse also understood that some people who really do things don't need to say how tall and prosperous they are. As long as they have the opportunity, they will prove it with facts and achievements.

On the contrary, many people will not change their lips even if they have worn them out.

Thinking about it, the little emperor suddenly also had some expectations.

Last time, it was too hasty. He didn't have time to talk with Li Yuanqing carefully. But this time, it was an excuse.

Although little emperor Tianqi seldom asked about government affairs, he was very concerned about military affairs, especially in Liao Dynasty.

He would read almost every battle report in Liao Dynasty in person.

In the previous guard war of Lushun, although Mao Wenlong reported Zhang pan for the first time, the little emperor Tianqi also realized that Li Yuanqing might be the core of the guard war of Lushun, especially the burning of Armin department.

But when Zhang Pansheng joined the general, Li Yuanqing was still a guerrilla. Did he think that he did not see his credit?

Last time, his attitude towards him was not very good, but with whale meat, he was the first to think of himself, which

The emperor suddenly felt sorry for Li Yuanqing.

"Brother Li Yuanqing is still guerrilla, right? He did a lot of good work in guarding the battle in Lushun. " At this time, Zhu Youjian also raised this stubble.

This strengthened the heart of emperor Tianqi. Li Yuanqing was so loyal to him that he could not apologize to him.

"Mate, what was the reward of the last guard battle in Lushun? Why only Zhang pan promoted the general? " The emperor looked at Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said with a smile: "emperor, this means many things. After all, this year, Dongjiang's momentum is a little too strong, which will inevitably make others feel uncomfortable. That's what Mao Wenlong in Dongjiang means. Zhang pan took the lead. "

Zhu Youjian couldn't help sneering, but his tender voice said seriously: "is this the way of reward and punishment of Duke Wei? You don't get credit for your contribution? You don't need to be punished if you have? "

"Eh?"

Wei Zhongxian didn't expect that Xin Wang would be so sharp. In front of the emperor, he would not come to the stage. However, he was so crafty that he couldn't help laughing: "Your Highness, the government affairs in the imperial court are complicated and complicated, far from being as simple as the surface. You are still young and can't understand. It's normal. When you grow up a little bit, you will understand. "

Zhu Youjian's face is a little blue.

What Wei Zhongxian said seems good to hear, but is it not that he is not qualified to be involved in political affairs?

The king of Daming is not involved in political affairs. This is a rule set by our ancestors. Unfortunately, he is only a commoner son. Otherwise, how could this old dog and this cheap woman influence the land of Daming?

The emperor also saw that his younger brother's face was not right, and he said with a smile: "younger brother, this matter is really my fault. I didn't have time to care about it. In this way, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. I can't tell Li Yuanqing that he will be recruited to Beijing? Let's ask him face to face what was the situation of the guard battle in Lushun on that day? "

Zhu Youjian's eyes brightened when he heard the speech.

Li Yuanqing's entry into Beijing is secondary. The key is that his brother actually asked him to have an interview with Li Yuanqing, which means that, to a certain extent, he is a step closer to Liao affairs and military affairs."My brother is indeed the king of saints. It's very difficult for ancient sages to correct mistakes. " Zhu Youjian smiles and flatters.

The little emperor of Tianqi could not help but be happy, "big companion, pass the edict, invite Li Yuanqing to Beijing to face the saint. Just let him spend the Spring Festival together in Beijing. "

"Yes, my servant."

Wei Zhongxian hastily accepted it, but he sighed in his heart, "Li Yuanqing is really lucky. Just a few pieces of whale meat. I'm afraid it's going to be a jackpot. Even the king of letters spoke for him. This kind of person, hey, can't even suppress the gods. It seems that after that, we must be closer to Li Yuanqing. "

……

Liaohai.

Changsheng island.

On the night of the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yuanqing has just come down from Zhang yunniang and is enjoying her service. He is preparing to put his wife to sleep comfortably. However, lotus root knocks on the door. "Master, Duke Wei has arrived at the official hall, and the edict has arrived."

Ou'er is Qu minqiu's girl. Usually, how dare she come to Zhang yunniang, especially when Li Yuanqing was still there. But today, the matter is urgent, and she has no time to take these into consideration.

Li Yuanqing was shocked when he heard it. How late did he get the imperial edict?

It's not bad. It's hard to send the meat to Beijing? Did emperor Tianqi have diarrhea?

More serious, direct food poisoning?

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to neglect him. He didn't want to let Zhang yunniang clean up her lower body. She quickly got up and put on her clothes. She said to lotus root: "I know. Let Mr. Wei wait. I'll be right there. "

Zhang yunniang was also frightened, and did not care about the Spring Festival, so she quickly served Li Yuanqing and dressed well.

Li Yuanqing came to the official hall in a hurry. Wei Liang had been waiting here for a long time. Seeing Li Yuanqing come out from behind the screen, he winked at Li Yuanqing and indicated that someone was nearby.

Li Yuanqing also saw that beside Wei Liang, a purple robed eunuch was looking at himself with a smile. It was his brother-in-law an.

Looking at father-in-law an seems to be true, Li Yuanqing instantly understood that this may not be a bad thing, and rushed to salute.

"General Li, we're old acquaintances. We don't have to be like this."

Li Yuanqing got up with a smile, "father-in-law, how did you come here at this time? But what is the matter? "

With a smile, Mr. an said, "what's more important? General Li, it took less than two and a half days to get to Changsheng island from the emperor's order in the afternoon of December 20. "

"Eh?"

When he said this, not only Li Yuanqing was stunned, but also Wei Liang was stunned.

The capital is nearly a thousand miles away from Changsheng island. It's two and a half days away. This is

Seeing Li Yuanqing's nervous appearance, an Gonggong leaned to Li Yuanqing's ear and said in a low voice, "brother, it's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."

As he said this, he cleared his throat, "Dongjiang guerrilla, Changsheng Island capital Secretary Li Yuanqing received the edict --"

ordinary officials received orders to bathe and burn incense and put them on the altar. But at this time, the emperor wanted to summon Li Yuanqing in a hurry, and Duke an also intended to put a score in front of Wei Liang, and he wanted to announce orders directly.

Wei Liangzhen was frightened and fell to his knees with his buttocks in the air.

Li Yuanqing also knelt on the ground in a hurry. I don't know if he has just finished the work, but the bottom hasn't been cleaned up. Is he disrespectful to the emperor Tianqi

At this time, who will care?

"It was carried by heaven, and the emperor ordered that Li Yuanqing, a guerrilla in Dongjiang, is commendable for his loyalty and bravery. He has made great contributions to the country. I am very relieved to invite Li Yuanqing to Beijing to meet him... "

An Gonggong finished singing the imperial edict, Li Yuanqing kowtowed to thank him, "long live my emperor, long live long live."

An Gonggong put down the edict, the next small eunuch rushed to the main table.

He walked to Li Yuanqing with a smile. He helped Li Yuanqing up, turned his back to Wei Liang, and said in a low voice: "brother, this time, you are developed. I heard that this time, not only the emperor, but also the king wants to see you."

"King of faith?"

Li Yuanqing's face did not change, but I was actually missed by this master?

"Brother, is this a good thing or a bad thing?" Li Yuanqing is busy and whispers justice to an Gong.

"Hehe. Nature is a good thing, or a good thing. "

"Elder brother, the emperor is in a hurry. He wants us to get to the capital a year ago. Go and clean up now. We have to leave all night. "

Li Yuanqing could not help being speechless.

Is this the legendary Jian Zai Di Xin?

The key point is that he is not missed by an emperor. Even the future Chongzhen master has been thinking about him

These days, the role of whale meat, gradually spread out.

When the sea ice in nanxinkou exploded, Houjin couldn't interfere with it. Li Yuanqing also took advantage of this opportunity to increase fishing efforts and subsidize the family.

In the deep winter, although it is difficult to catch fish, it is particularly delicious. Especially under the word of mouth, Li Yuanqing's killing of whales was gradually promoted to the altar.Both soldiers and sailors, including the women of Changsheng Island, are highly motivated in all aspects.

What are they afraid of when they are protected by the immortal Li Yuanqing?

In a short period of more than ten days, great achievements have been made in the field of fishing. The main reason is that the sea is vast, the surrounding population is sparsely populated, and the fishery resources are developed. Even if the local methods and old technology are used, people are motivated and eat well. This is not a problem at all.

At this time, only fresh fish were stored in Changsheng Island, and nearly 100000 Jin of fresh fish were stored. In addition to grain, wild vegetables, salted fish and livestock, there was no big problem in the new year.

If the fishery continues to go smoothly, even if there is no food, it will not be a big problem until March or April next year.

In a short period of time, Changsheng island will no longer have to worry about the future. At this time, Li Yuanqing also has time and energy when he enters Beijing. However, the two joint training plans at the beginning of the first month agreed with Chen Zhong have to be delayed a little, and this year, he can't accompany his family.

But the emperor summoned, this is a big thing.

Don't neglect it. Ordinary officials may never have such a chance in their lifetime.

Fortunately, father-in-law an is here, so it saves a lot of energy.

Li Yuanqing quickly called Zhang yunniang and gave a few instructions on the affairs of the back house. He also called in the sixth merchant and the housekeeper Ma to give instructions on the military affairs and government affairs of the island. Then, he took Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde and more than 20 family members to leave for the capital overnight.
