The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing will be a man.

Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also tasted the sweetness from being sensible.

Chen Zhong, a steady man, was in charge.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, to be exact, should be the place of southern Liaoning in the future. A small-scale interest group, which is not too impressive but whose energy can not be underestimated, takes Li Yuanqing and his longevity camp as the core, gradually takes shape, gradually stabilizes, and begins to go on the right track.

……

Time flies by. Seven or eight days have passed in a flash, and the time has come to the end of April in the third year of Tianqi.

The memorial sent to the imperial court, together with he Heli, may have arrived in the capital. Mao Wenlong in Yizhou and sun Chengzong in western Liaoning should have received the battle report sent by Li Yuan Qingfa.

However, the road is far away and the communication is backward. At this time, Li Yuanqing has not received any reply from all sides.

These days, is entering the early spring rainy season, the sky has been gray, intermittent drizzle.

Li Yuanqing remembers that the weather in Fuzhou did not seem to be so rainy last year.

But at this time, Huang Taiji opened the mouth of the Shahe River, which had changed its course unnaturally. The whole plain outside Fuzhou City was wet and muddy.

Perhaps the microclimate has been artificially changed.

In such a situation, Fuzhou is almost no man's land again. This year's spring ploughing, you don't have to think about it. Even if Li Yuanqing is a clever woman, he can't make a meal without rice.

But the diversion of Shahe River is also a good thing.

As a result, a large area of land in Fuzhou, which had been continuously dry for several years, has been moistened with water again. Various minerals and vitamin elements carried by the sediment in the river should also be able to supplement some nutrients missing from the land.

However, if these lands are formed, they will have to wait until next year at the latest.

This year, it is destined to be impossible to harvest anything.

This, in fact, has become a lonely city of Fuzhou City, the position will be embarrassed.

Is it to keep or to give up?

At the same time, the Sentinels who went to Jinzhou and Lushun also brought back new intelligence.

Huang Taiji walked cleanly, leaving no pawns. Jinzhou and Lushun have now become empty cities in fact.

Huang Taiji is also very clear that even if the remaining people stay in Jinzhou and Lushun, they can only be converted into the fighting achievements of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

In this way, from Fuzhou to Jinzhou and Lushun, the vast land in southern Liaoning has become a "no man's land".

Today, the drizzle stopped after a few drops, and the boys had begun to resume their practice. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong stood on the head of Fuzhou City, looking at the northern terrain.

Although the army of the later Jin Dynasty withdrew, the weather was humid and the land was muddy. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not leave in a hurry, and they had been recuperating in the city.

But the news from Jinzhou and Lushun at this time made them no longer so leisurely.

"Yuanqing, Jinzhou and Lushun, what are your plans?"

Chen Zhong handed Li Yuanqing the small wine pot in his hand and looked to the vast North.

Just a few hundred miles from where he was looking, it was Gaizhou.

With the end of the Fuzhou garrison battle, the four guards in southern Liaoning have actually controlled the two guards, and the key throat, Lushun, is also in their hands.

Li Yuanqing took a sip of wine and said with a smile, "big brother, what do you think? Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Lushun, where do you want? "

Chen Zhong took over Li Yuanqing's wine pot, poured it hard, and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, I want all of them, but at this time, there is not enough manpower. Even if we take these lands, we can't catch up with farming."

Li Yuanqing nodded.

In the southern part of Liaoning Province, wheat is the main crop, and rice planting is not a bad idea, but it will inevitably cost more manpower and effort.

Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong seem to have won a great battle, the government's allocation has not come down. Although the two departments of grain and grass are sufficient, they do not have enough financial resources to develop and cultivate these lands.

In addition, there is a small debt of 300000 liang from the Qu family, which needs to be paid back. In fact, the financial resources of the two departments are still in deficit.

After all, a large number of weapons and armor seized from the Houjin army will not be sold, and they should keep them for their own use.

In terms of livestock, even if it is easy to sell, how can they be willing to spit out the fat in their mouths?

In this case, the only way to solve the problem of silver is to wait for the reward from the imperial court.

But if you want the court to be satisfied, Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun can't give up easily.

At this time, no matter Fuzhou, Jinzhou, or Lushun, although the surrounding areas were seriously damaged, the three cities basically did not encounter too much damage. They could be directly used with simple decoration.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanqing said: "elder brother, it is not wise to give up anywhere in Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Lushun. Especially in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, it is unrealistic to cultivate. But Lushun has a lot to do. I mean, Guanglu island is very close to Lushun. You have a natural advantage. If not directly received a plate of plates, Lushun to start again. I'll send troops to Fuzhou and Jinzhou. "Chen Zhong was stunned. For a moment, he understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and said, "Yuanqing, how can this be done? Isn't that a big loss for you? Fuzhou, Jinzhou, is an abandoned city. And act as an outpost... "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother. I have thought it over carefully. If I run Lushun now, I will certainly shift the focus of Changsheng island. At this time, Changsheng Island finally made such a small foundation, and it is a pity to give up so much. There are a lot of people in Guanglu island. If you move to Lushun, you can also share the land with the people. It's the best of both worlds. If I have Jinzhou and Fuzhou, I can protect the safety of Lushun. "

Chen Zhong was speechless. Li Yuanqing not only gave him such a big piece of fat as Lvshun, but also left a good way for him.

"Yuanqing, what are you going to do with your brother?" Chen Zhong was helpless.

Li Yuanqing a smile, "big brother, you and my brother, how to distinguish each other?"

Li Yuanqing put his arm around Chen Zhong's shoulder and said, "brother, at this time, we can not worry about Jinzhou and Lushun for the time being. It's not too late to wait for the court's reward. But it is urgent to expand the army. "

Chen Zhong immediately understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

After the war, it is a certainty that they will be promoted and made rich.

However, with the disappearance of the zhangpan division, the original strength of the two units was obviously insufficient.

At this time, after the test of the Fuzhou garrison war, the more than 10000 auxiliary soldiers brought out by the two departments also had a great growth. They hardly needed much practice, and many people could even join the war soldiers directly.

"Yuanqing, I have also carefully considered this matter. I am ready to make up for the lack of casualties in this war and expand the scale of two thousand Corps." Chen Zhong said with a smile.

Li Yuanqing also a smile, "I am ready to expand three to four thousand Corps. Elder brother, at that time, you and my brothers will fight for more than ten thousand soldiers. As long as Tartars dare to come to the south of Liaoning, we must let these dogs pay the price! "

Chen Zhong laughed, "Yuanqing, that's exactly what happened. It should not be too late. Let's do it now while we are free. "

……

At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had enough young and strong people in their hands to expand the army, and Mao Wenlong was no longer needed to help. Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang had already been inseparable from the two men and the two departments, and naturally they agreed.

After discussion, Li Yuanqing will expand four thousand corps, more than 5000 troops.

Chen Zhong will expand three thousand corps to nearly 4000 troops.

In this way, with the previous nearly 3000 combat troops, Li Yuanqing's actual strength will reach 8000, and Chen Zhong's will also reach nearly 7000.

The total number of soldiers of the two units will exceed 15000.

In fact, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have surpassed any general or vice general on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty except Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang headquarters.

In name, the four had already agreed.

Fuzhou and Jinzhou are in the hands of the two guards. In addition, Lushun, Guanglu island and Changsheng island are the three important nodes. The sea area of nearly a thousand miles and the land of hundreds of miles are on the front line of the battlefield, with 15000 people. Is that a lot?

Li Yuanqing's four people are not afraid of picking peaches.

The south of Liaoning Province is no more than the west of Liaoning Province, not to mention PiDao and the eastern line. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already established their roots here. Without them, no one can play.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong didn't care whether the imperial court approved or not or not to give these vacancies. They first trained the strong soldiers.

They have enough food anyway.

As for Changsheng camp, Li Yuanqing's goal of adding four thousand Corps is quite clear. With the 5000 troops, the long spear soldiers will reach 3000, with 1000 swords and shields and 1000 birds and blunderbusses.

There are also seven red coated cannons in Fuzhou City, which were incorporated into the newly established artillery team by Li Yuanqing.

As a result, the size of the camp has more than doubled, and the number of officers with more than one thousand households will also reach nine.

Under Duan Xiliang's rule, the 1000 th Corps will become a guerrilla with this award.

The second thousand Corps is still the leader of guancanghai, and he will be promoted to guerrilla.

The position of Xu Heizi in the 3000 th regiment remained unchanged and was also a guerrilla rank.

The fourth regiment was promoted from Wang Hai, a confidant of Li Yuanqing, to the leader of Qianhu.

The 5000 regiment was promoted from Huang Guoshan, the leader of Li Yuanqing's army.

Li Sansheng, a new generation of officer, was temporarily appointed to the 6000 Corps in the post of deputy Qianhu.

This is mainly due to the fact that Li Yuanqing's pace is too big at once. In terms of talents, he is a bit short of money, so he boldly uses new people as before.

The 7000 Corps will be led by Li Yuanqing himself, but it is Kong Youde who is actually in charge of the command.

The boy finally ushered in the spring, can lead the army alone.

Liu Dadou's scouting camp was also supplemented by a large number of fresh blood after the war, which was also a thousand household establishment. However, Liu Dadou would also become a guerrilla after the reward.In addition, the newly established artillery battalion, though less than 100 people, is also the general manager's establishment, with Yang Xiaobo, who has not yet returned from the sea, as its leader.

But at this time, Yang Xiaobo was not there, so Niu Gensheng, the new leader of Li Yuanqing's army, was temporarily led by him.

Originally, Kong Youde made great achievements and was able to become a guerrilla. However, he was still too young to be promoted to a guerrilla. Li Yuanqing deliberately suppressed him and did not promote him to an official. Instead, he changed into a financial reward, which laid the foundation for his family and career as soon as possible.

Li Yuanqing directly told him, "either you will be promoted to guerrillas, or you will be the leader of your own troops. Or, a thousand households, go down and lead the troops. "

In the end, the boy chose the latter wisely.
