The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Duke an said with a smile: "elder brother, the ancestors are very satisfied with the elder brother's performance in southern Liaoning. Elder brother Linzong told me to go as soon as possible

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, my brother wants to enter Beijing as soon as possible, but the situation in Fuzhou is not stable at this time, and my brother can't leave for a while. In this respect, we still need more explanations from our ancestors. "

Although He Heli has been sent to the capital, Li Yuanqing, the head of tartar class 5000, is still in his hands and is not eager to report to the capital.

The reward of Daming is calculated according to the first level. If the first level is less than the first level, it must be delayed in terms of merit and reward.

Mr. an said with a smile: "elder brother, in this respect, you can rest assured that my younger brother will truthfully report to the ancestor. By the way, big brother. "

Mr. an deliberately sold a pass.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, don't hang your brother's appetite."

Said, Li Yuanqing a pile of silver notes, has been quietly stuffed into the hands of father-in-law an.

Father in law an looked at it and was afraid that it would not be less than 5000 taels. He said, "brother, how can this be made? Isn't that what makes me unkind, brother? "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, this is a yard. Brother, it's money for your hard work. It's a long way to go. I'll buy some good tonic on the way back. "

They looked at each other with a smile.

Duke an lowered his voice and said, "elder brother, before my brother left Beijing, Duke Wang also came to see him. Duke Wang appreciated your performance in the south of Liaoning Province."

Smart people don't need to speak too thoroughly.

The Duke Wang in Duke an's mouth can't be anyone else. He can only be Wang Chengen, the companion of Zhu Youjian.

Last time in the capital, Li Yuanqing and Wang Chengen had a meeting, but for various reasons, the two did not have time to get close to each other.

At this time, the meaning of Duke Wang's words became very clear.

This should be the meaning of Xin Wang.

The future emperor Chongzhen was also very satisfied with the battle.

But after being happy, Li Yuanqing deliberately said with a bitter face: "brother, there is one more thing you must have known, Zhang pan, was killed in this battle..."

Li Yuanqing gave a brief account of the death of Zhang pan to Duke an.

Although what Li Yuanqing said is simple, how can an Gonggong not understand the deep meaning? For a moment, he said, "elder brother, you are worried. There is Mao Shuai..."

Li Yuanqing said with a bitter smile: "brother, brother, it's very difficult now."

After thinking for a long time, Duke an said, "elder brother, I will report this matter to my ancestors."

……

The next morning, after meeting Chen Zhong, he left in a hurry.

This time, although the imperial court only encouraged by words, there were still some advantages. Duke an brought 20000 liang of silver notes, half of which were Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

However, Chen Zhong is not stupid. His share is basically the same as that of Li Yuanqing. As a result, only 5000 taels of silver fell into their hands.

At this time, although there were great victories in Fuzhou, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong could not repay the money of the Qu family for a while. Fortunately, their prestige was here, and they should be able to delay for some time.

In addition to military training, silver has also become the top priority of the two departments.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already concluded that even if the imperial court's rewards are handed out, they will be enough to make up for the shortage of the Qu family. As for the merits and rewards of the children, we have to find another way.

Chen Zhong obviously has not much to do in this respect, so he has to place all his hopes on Li Yuanqing.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing did not have many good methods. The south of Liaoning Province was almost deserted. Even if he went to rob, there was no object to rob.

This matter had to be suppressed for the time being, and the decision could be made after the reward was granted by the imperial court.

They devoted all their energy to training.

On the fifth day of May, the war report finally came from the eastern front.

It's Mao Wenlong's personal letter.

In this period of time, Mao Zedong introduced the situation in detail.

After receiving the news that the main force of the Jin Dynasty retreated after Li Yuanqing's emperor Taiji, Mao Wenlong took conservative measures to transport all the materials in Yizhou city and returned to the seaside from North Korea.

Mao Wenlong also wanted to have a tentative exchange of fire with the main force of the latter Jin army. However, the main force of the latter Jin army was obviously very cautious, forcing the Dongjiang headquarters to the seaside and did not take the initiative to attack.

After holding each other for nearly half a month, Mao Wenlong chose to withdraw and return to PiDao.

In the letter, Mao Wenlong also expressed his attitude towards Zhang Pan's death. He hoped that Li Yuanqing would not have too much pressure. After the end of the war in southern Liaoning, he could spare time to go to PiDao and discuss the next military strategy.

And hope that Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong can occupy Jinzhou and Lushun as soon as possible.

Put aside Mao Wenlong's handwritten letter, Li Yuanqing did not speak for a long time.Around him, Chen Zhong's teacher read the content of the letter in a low voice, and Chen Zhong's eyebrows wrinkled.

Although Mao Wenlong said it lightly, Zhang Pan's death means that Dongjiang's headquarters are in the west line and have lost the bridgehead.

Even if Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong occupy Lushun, to a certain extent, Mao Wenlong must nod his head to be justified.

This means that Mao Wenlong's layout in the western line is bound to be readjusted

I'm afraid it will be very difficult for Li Wenlong and Mao Lvzhong to accept the appointment directly

After a long time of thinking, Chen Zhongsi said, "Yuanqing, don't get involved in this matter. I'll go to PiDao first, take the corpse of Zhang pan and explain to the marshal. Go and test the Marshal's attitude first. "

Li Yuanqing shook his head slowly, "elder brother, Fuzhou is stable for the time being. Let's go together. By the way, take Jinzhou and Lushun. "

Chen Zhong was stunned, "Yuanqing, this In case... "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "big brother, I can have today, all depends on the commander-in-chief's support. The commander-in-chief is very clear about his righteousness. I believe he will give me a chance to explain. "

Chen Zhong was speechless.

At this point, there are inevitable conflicts of interest between the south of Liaoning and the headquarters of Dongjiang.

If we avoid it, we can only expand the contradiction endlessly.

But if

"Yuanqing, I still don't recommend you go." For a long time, Chen Zhong was still a Taoist.

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, you don't have to persuade me. I know it well. It should not be too late. We must start as soon as possible. "

"Ah

Chen Zhongchang breathed out, "this old Zhang! It's really... "

……

On the seventh day of May, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, with Zhang Pan's body, set out from Fuzhou and embarked on a big ship for PiDao.

At the same time, under the leadership of Guan Canghai, Changsheng camp No.2 Corps will occupy Jinzhou, and its fleet will always be moored on the West Bank of Jinzhou for standby. In case of emergency, it can be ensured that the 2000 Corps will withdraw at any time.

On the other hand, Chen Zhong's Ministry also led his subordinates to occupy and repair Lushun city.

On the bow, the wind is strong.

It's almost summer, and the weather has begun to be a little hot.

Li Yuanqing stood on the deck of the bow, letting the sea breeze sweep his face.

In the small ice age of Liaoning, it seems that there were only two seasons, one is winter, the other is summer.

It's just that winter is a long way off, while summer is just a few months away.

Chen Zhong carrying a pot of wine, went to Li Yuanqing side, "Yuanqing, you regret now, there is still time."

Li Yuanqing smiles, "big brother, don't worry. I believe the commander-in-chief must be far sighted! "

Chen Zhong poured a mouthful of smoldering wine and couldn't help sighing, "ah! Why do we lose our original trust when we grow bigger and bigger? "

Li Yuanqing did not know how to explain to Chen Zhong.

However, things have developed to the present, the independence of southern Liaoning is imperative.

Otherwise, it is not a good thing for Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to be subject to Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang headquarters.

If one day something happened, the consequences would be unthinkable.

But even if he wants to stand on his own, Li Yuanqing has to explain clearly to Mao Wenlong.

On the 10th of May, the party arrived at PiDao successfully.

Zhang pan and Mao Chenglu are all waiting at the wharf.

Seeing Zhang Pan's body being carried down from the ship by several tall soldiers, a group of old brothers were speechless for a moment.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not stay too much. They went directly to the official residence to meet Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong's look was not bad, but Li Yuanqing noticed that there was a lot of white silk between his temples.

Even if the matter is deliberately diluted, it is impossible that Zhang Pan's death will not have an impact on Mao Wenlong.

"Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, you are here. Good. "

Mao Wenlong looks at the two people with a smile. His words are full of vicissitudes and fatigue.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong quickly kowtow and salute.

Mao Wenlong raised them with a smile.

Li Yuanqing but again heavily kowtow: "marshal, Zhang pan, I have an unshirkable responsibility."

Mao Wenlong took a look at Li Yuanqing.

For a long time, he vomited out a long breath of turbid gas, "Yuanqing, this matter, I already know. In the end, I have a responsibility. If I don't let Zhang pan occupy Jinzhou in a hurry, but guard Lushun, maybe... "

Chen Zhong said: "marshal, Zhang Pan's death was just an accident. No one can do that. But our army has won both in the West and the East. We still have to look ahead. "

Mao Wenlong nodded, "not bad. This time in southern Liaoning, you did a good job. Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, let's talk about it. What are your plans for the next step? "Seeing that Mao Wenlong didn't hold on to Zhang pan, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong both breathed a sigh of relief.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Zhong said: "commander in chief, although our army defeated the rear Jin army on two fronts, it did not hurt its main force. The old slave is a little calm this year, and his humble position is a little abnormal. In my humble position, in the second half of the year, our army should still be defensive, work hard to cultivate land and accumulate materials. "

Mao Wenlong nodded and looked at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing said: "commander in chief, I agree with elder brother Chen's view. Whether it is the southern Liaoning or the eastern line, the effect may not be too big. Still should be to save material primarily, let children also have certain recuperation time

Mao Wenlong nodded with a smile and sighed: "good! This year, although the situation of our army in the new year is good, there are still many problems. But with these two great victories, the government's food and salary should also be inclined to us. Yuan Qing, I heard that you have organized and practiced the new army again? "

As soon as Mao Wenlong said this, Chen Zhong's body instinctively tightened, and a cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He secretly glanced at Li Yuanqing.

Mao Wenlong was not informed of the expansion of the armed forces of the two departments at the first time.
