The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

With the curtain of Li Yuanqing's wedding ceremony coming to an end, the guests and friends of all parties have dispersed, Changsheng island has returned to its normal track, and all aspects of affairs have become more and more compact and intensive.

Although it was only in the middle of July, it was cold in the north. In October, Tiandi river was about to enter the freezing period.

Although Li Yuanqing has set a scale of 5000 troops, most of them are new troops.

Although they were all trained auxiliary soldiers, their trip was too hard. Li Yuanqing could only be more strict with their training.

Although it is Li Yuanqing's "honeymoon period", most of the day Li Yuanqing spent in the military camp, guiding the various departments to practice.

Even if he returned to the official hall, he did not have much rest time.

We should listen to a lot of reports from Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper.

The journey of this expedition is not quantitative at all. It can be thousands of miles at least, tens of thousands of miles more. Logistics work should not be careless at all.

Li Yuanqing's plan is very clear.

In this raid on Mongolia, the logistics supply line is impossible to keep up with. The troops carrying too much grain are useless. They only carry various kinds of most useful weapons, flint, salt, a little bacon and salted fish. They are armor, and only light armor, which is almost completely light.

In terms of weaponry, Li Yuanqing also made great efforts.

In addition to the most basic three arms, long spear soldiers, bird and spear soldiers, knife and shield soldiers, the rest are a large number of scouts and quasi scouts.

In addition to their own weapons and equipment, each person will be provided with a dagger and a simple medicine package, which contains various simple medicines for hemostasis and wound treatment, as well as a large number of anti cold drugs, including drugs for treating frostbite and bruise.

Moreover, each soldier will distribute new cotton padded clothes and two pairs of top-quality leather boots.

After all, the distance is so far away that there is no quantitative analysis at all. It is even more difficult to estimate the time. If it is fast, it will take half a year or even longer.

Li Yuanqing had to think of what he could, what he could do, and how well he prepared.

In this way, although the wedding seems to have a lot of income, but these equipment, will cost a lot of money.

Because of Qu minqiu's relationship, the price of medicine is still lower. However, the basic equipment, such as cloth, cotton, iron, cattle hide and saltpeter, is enough according to the market price or even higher than the market price. It is more than 100000 taels of silver, which can't be sustained at all.

But even if it is difficult, Li Yuanqing can only insist.

As the saying goes, "wealth is only sought in danger.".

If you want to be better than others, you have to do something that others can't do.

If you want to get more rights, more money and more beautiful women, you have to stand the test like hell.

Under the high pressure of Li Yuanqing, the affairs of Changsheng island are running rapidly.

By the middle of August, the materials of Fuzhou City were basically cleaned up and transported back to Changsheng island.

And Zhang yunniang also successfully gave birth to a baby boy.

Changsheng Island suddenly inspired people, momentum soared.

Li Yuanqing named his first son "Li Dingbei". He hoped that his son would bring him good luck and successfully pacify the northern part of the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to name his eldest son "Li Dingguo", but after thinking for a long time, he gave up the idea.

The name of his son can't be

What makes Li Yuanqing more happy is that under his hard work, Qu minqiu and Wan'er have also received good news and are pregnant.

Zhang yunniang was also a little relieved.

If Li Yuanqing's descendants spread, her reputation will also be spread. After all, she already has Li Dingbei, the eldest son of Li Yuanqing, and no one can threaten her position.

Otherwise, the reputation of jealous women is not good.

Time flies, soon, it has come to the middle of September, Li Dingbei is already full moon, and the day of the expedition is already around the corner.

In the backyard of the official hall, Li Yuanqing dotes on his eldest son, carefully teasing the little guy.

Unfortunately, this guy didn't buy his old man's account at all. Just a few minutes after Li Yuanqing held him, the boy began to cry.

On one side, Zhang yunniang was happy and angry, "brother, can he feel comfortable holding Dingbei like this? Be careful. Hold his neck. The child's bones are not complete yet. They are very fragile. "

Li Yuanqing, who would admit that he would not hold his son, said in a hurry: "I have held his neck, OK? This kid, is it not worth beating. Do you dare to make a face of your father

But the little guy ignored Li Yuanqing and cried more and more loudly.

Zhang yunniang some speechless, hastily took over the child, "Dingbei is good, don't cry. Are you hungry? "

While talking, she untied her lapel and let Li Dingbei eat milk.

Li Yuanqing's eyes can not help but float to Zhang yunniang's full.Because of the children, Li Yuanqing's most familiar plump has grown up twice as much. Unfortunately, Li Yuanqing does not have the ability of Li Dingbei, that is, he can't suck milk.

Seeing Li Yuanqing staring at her, Zhang yunniang's small face also couldn't help being red, and spat in a low voice: "brother, you look at people like this. How can Dingbei eat milk? "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "what does Dingbei have to do with you?"

How can Zhang yunniang not understand Li Yuanqing's meaning? But he was very ashamed and said in a low voice, "brother, I can't do it here. But lotus root is growing up. "

Li Yuanqing couldn't help looking at the pretty figure who was walking with Qu minqiu and Wan'er in the distance, and suddenly laughed, "Yun Niang, you are here, how can I find her?"

Zhang yunniang, ashamed and happy, whispered: "brother, lotus root is not easy. She has been looking forward to it for a long time. Besides, there is the horse keeper. Or do you want lotus root to come in tonight

"Well, this is not good?"

Li Yuanqing busy mouth refused, but some eyes can not leave the lotus root waist hip curve not far away.

Zhang yunniang didn't understand Li Yuanqing's mind. She said with a smile: "it's settled. Brother, you go to the official hall busy. I'll arrange this way. "

Li Yuanqing blushed and left in a hurry.

When they came to the official hall, they were also there.

Shang Laoliu took out a thick stack of books and directly reported to Li yuanqinghui: "Yuanqing, the preparations here are almost finished. The fleet is also ready. You are most concerned about the gunpowder and bullets, each soldier, have prepared 1000. At that time, there will be ten craftsmen with them. If conditions permit, they can be made at any time. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, "tomorrow, let's have a three-day holiday for children. Let them get together with their families

"Yes."

Shang Laoliu went to work, and Ma housekeeper began to report the financial expenses of Li Yuanqing in the recent period.

In the two months since the wedding, nearly 200000 silver has been spent on Changsheng Island, 90% of which have been spent in the preparation of the war.

Li Yuanqing has been prepared, but it is not unacceptable.

After all, war always costs money.

As for whether he can earn it back, it depends on his ability.

"I know about it. Steward Ma, you have been working hard these days Li Yuanqing looks at the housekeeper with a smile.

Horse housekeeper hurriedly said: "it is the blessing of humble duty to serve the general."

Li Yuanqing smile, just about to open his mouth, at this time, lotus root is a little pinched came over, a see her father is also, gently call a, rushed to Li Yuanqing and her father salute.

Although she is a close daughter, how can the housekeeper stay here at this time? I'm very glad to leave.

Lotus root son a Leng, "father, so anxious to go to do what ah. My daughter has made some snacks. Come and have a taste. "

Unfortunately, housekeeper Ma has already bypassed the rockery at the door and returned to his "office" outside the front yard.

There are only two people left in the hall.

Li Yuanqing grinned and took lotus root in his arms. "Do you know what happened in the evening? My fifth lady? "

Lotus root son pretty face suddenly a faint red, "who rare ah. Why doesn't your nian'er come to serve you

Li Yuanqing smiles and holds lotus root son's slender waist, "Hey. It's not big or small. I don't know the family rules, do you? "

Although there is no substantial intimacy, ou'er is no stranger to Li Yuanqing's physical contact. He leans on Li Yuanqing's arms like a bird, biting Li Yuanqing's ear and murmuring: "Dingbei is so lovely, master, I also want to..."

Li Yuanqing was almost ignited, but lotus root son ran away with a smile. "Master, the maid suddenly remembered that the old lady had something to do with the maid just now."

Smelling the fragrant wind left by lotus root, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. "Now it's evening. Can you run?"

At this time, a maid came with a cup of tea. "Master, please have tea."

Li Yuanqing was stunned. It was Liu Qiao, his maid in Denglai.

These days, Li Yuanqing has seldom met her.

Seeing her, Li Yuanqing nodded lightly, "these days, are you still used to it in the mansion?"

Liu Qiao said respectfully: "back to the master, the ladies are very good to the maids, and the maids are very happy now."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "why isn't nian'er there? Are you here today? "

The official hall is just like Li Yuanqing's study. Usually, ou'er and nian'er are in charge of it. Of course, his four wives can also come here. Ordinary servant girls and servants can't come here without permission.

Liu Qiao is busy kneeling on the ground, "master, it is the maid who steals over. I want to ask the master's permission for one thing. "

"Well?"

Li Yuanqing frowned and looked at her eyes with some displeasure.

Liu Qiao is busy kowtow a way: "master, maidservant, maidservant wants to follow master to go out to battle.""Go out to war?"

But Li Yuanqing was stunned, "why is this?"

Liu Qiao said in a hurry: "master, you go out to battle, and no one is waiting on you. What can you do? Besides, the family members of the maidservant died in the hands of Tartars. The maidservant also wanted to look at the master's hand and blade the Tartars. And... "

Liu Qiao didn't dare to look at Li Yuanqing's eyes. He said, almost like a mosquito, "maid, you can't bear children. You are willing to wait on the master..."

Although Liu Qiao's life experience was poor, Li Yuanqing was really afraid of leaving seeds on her. At this time, listening to Liu Qiao's words, Li Yuanqing's eyes were not changed. To a large extent, he really needed such personal care.

After all, a year is not short.

"Do you have a plan? It's far from comfortable at home to go on an expedition. "

Liu Qiao is busy kowtow, "maidservant thinks well. The maid is willing to serve the master, and is not afraid of any hardship. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, nodded, reached out to help her up, "you have a heart. I'll think about it again. By the way, sir, I'm a little tired. Come to the inner study and rub it for the master. "

Liu Qiao how don't understand Li Yuanqing meaning, pretty face suddenly a red, busy respectful way: "yes."

The inner study is next door to the main hall of the official hall. The room is not very large. It is almost 70-80 square meters. It is the rest room after Li Yuanqing's business is tired. It is very exquisite.

Without Li Yuanqing's permission, even Zhang yunniang is not allowed to enter easily.

Came to the lounge, lying in bed, Liu Qiao quickly and cleverly helped Li Yuanqing knead his temple.

Smelling the fragrance of her body, Li Yuanqing's original lust suddenly went out. It's not easy for everyone to live.

For a moment, he said, "I agree to this. You are in good condition. Go back and prepare more. If I can come back alive, I will give you a place. "

Liu Qiao was overjoyed, "thank you. With the words of the master, your servant will be content to die. "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "go. By the way, you're a little thin now, master. I don't like it. Go back and eat more, understand? "

"Yes."

……

After dinner, lotus root son put on red makeup, with the help of Xiaolian and Xiaohe, came to Li Yuanqing's room.

Xiaolian Xiaohe has grown up and is sensible. She is shy and does not speak.

Li Yuanqing came to the lotus root with a smile and said, "have you offered tea to Yun Niang?"

Lotus root son gently nodded, but no longer usual coquettish, low voice way: "also hope the master pity lotus root son."

Li Yuanqing smiles and whispers to lotus root's ear, biting her ear.

For a moment, lotus root son pretty face not from the red through, the small hand but forcefully seized Li Yuanqing 's big hand, close to Li Yuanqing' s ear, murmured a few words.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing and waved to Xiaolian Xiaohe: "you go out. Close the door. "

"Yes." Xiaolian and Xiaohe withdraw respectfully and close the door.

Li Yuanqing, smiling, provoked lotus root's red cap, "my little five lady, are you ready?"

Lotus root son is shy and happy again, suddenly way: "come, I am not afraid of you."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing.

The candle fire in the room was quickly fluttering, but the temperature in the room with ice cubes suddenly soared. Only outside the window, a few crickets still "squeak" and keep the melody just now
