The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Since the late March, when the main force of the later Jin Dynasty arrived in Liaodong, the pressure of Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang headquarters in Zhenjiang, Yizhou and North Korea increased sharply.

In particular, after Chen Jisheng's right association was almost eaten by Huang Taiji, the headquarters of Dongjiang lost its initiative in the whole line of Liaodong.

In April and may, Mao Wenlong was not content with the good foundation he had accumulated over the past few years, so he gave it to the Tartars in vain and launched several waves of attacks on the periphery of Zhenjiang.

However, the reaction of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty was quite fierce, and he did not give in any way.

After thousands of people were lost in the two wars, Mao Wenlong had to retreat to the sea at the beginning of June to defend PI Island, connecting Zhangzi Island, Lu Island and Shicheng Island.

In this way, from the end of Tianqiyuan, Mao Wenlong lost half of his good foundation in Zhenjiang, Yizhou and North Korea.

Although the later Jin Dynasty could not attack the epithelial island and did not damage the Dongjiang root, the peripheral defense line had nearly collapsed, which had to be lamented.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong was extremely smart and was not surrounded by the later Jin army, which saved the safety of the main force of Dongjiang. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

On the contrary, it was the southern part of Liaoning Province, because it was close to no man's land, or Li Yuanqing's reputation was too great. It was not affected by the large-scale attacks of the later Jin Dynasty, including Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

Accordingly, Shen Shikui of Lvshun has become the most powerful player outside Dongjiang.

As for western Liaoning, it was not affected by the offensive. The construction of Ningyuan city has been basically improved. The coverage of guanning group has been extended to Jinzhou and Daling River in the north. On the whole, the situation is still stable.

However, the contraction of the Dongjiang headquarters and the activity of the Ming army in the whole area of Liao Dynasty have decreased sharply. From the tactical attack, began to turn to the overall strategic defense.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that things would develop to this extent.

In history, three years later, four years, five years and six years after the apocalypse, Dongjiang's army was strong and strong, like the sun at its zenith.

But at this time, because of the appearance of Li Yuanqing, history has changed.

The main spearhead of the later Jin Dynasty was aimed at the Dongjiang headquarters too early. In addition, Chen Jisheng's mistakes led to the ups and downs of Mao Wenlong's mood. He made several unwise choices and suffered heavy damage.

In fact, Li Yuanqing also understands the thoughts of Chen Jisheng and even Mao Wenlong.

With the rise of Li Yuanqing, he set up his own door in the south of Liaoning Province and broke away from the scope of Dongjiang headquarters, which, to a large extent, set a benchmark for the generals of Dongjiang.

Like Chen Jisheng, how could he be convinced of Li Yuanqing?

In terms of qualifications and abilities, how can Li Yuanqing compare with Chen Jisheng?

Perhaps, he thinks, Li Yuanqing can come to today, it is just good luck, Li Yuanqing can do, he can do the same.

Perhaps because of this mentality, Chen Jisheng was greedy and rash, lost his former calm, and finally swallowed the bitter fruit of failure.

On Mao Wenlong's side, there may be a large part of this component. He also wants to prove his ability

Unfortunately, they all ignored the determination of the later Jin Dynasty to Liaodong war.

But the matter has come to this point, Li Yuanqing can not escape.

Whether it is Dongjiang, southern Liaoning or western Liaoning, they are all part of the defense line of the Ming Dynasty.

No matter which side is affected, it will directly affect the overall situation of the whole Liao area, which is unacceptable to Li Yuanqing.

There may be contradictions among the three departments, but after all, it is the contradiction of our own brothers. If we close the door, what can't be solved?

But externally, the three departments are all one position. Even if they can't make concerted efforts, at least they can't pull each other's hind legs.

After much deliberation, Li Yuanqing decided not to return to Changsheng Island, but to see Mao Wenlong on the island.

The main force of the fleet, led by Guan Canghai, first returned to Changsheng Island, while Li Yuanqing took dozens of cargo ships to PiDao.

When meeting Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing couldn't be empty handed. He prepared 1000 horses and 10000 taels of silver for Mao.

……

On July 13, Li Yuanqing arrived at PiDao smoothly.

Mao Wenlong, who has received the news, personally came to the wharf to meet Li Yuanqing and his party.

This is not the time.

Li Yuanqing has been on the same level with Mao Wenlong in his military rank. Although he is still several ranks behind Mao Wenlong in his title, all discerning people can see that it is only sooner or later that Li Yuanqing surpasses Mao Wenlong.

You know, Li Yuanqing is still under 25 years old this year.

When Li Yuanqing returned from the north, he did not go directly to Changsheng island. Instead, he came to visit Mao Wenlong directly and gave him such a rich gift. Mao Wenlong was so emotional and reasonable that he had to give Li Yuanqing the face.

On the wharf, the main generals and officers of Dongjiang group were all in line, all wearing armor and formal clothes.

Although Mao Wenlong had no armor, he also put on a red official robe with black yarn on his head.

Seeing the distant fleet gradually approaching, Mao Chenglu said, "marshal, Yuanqing is coming!"Mao Wenlong nodded, but there was not much expression on his face.

After a while, the fleet came to shore. Li Yuanqing, who was also dressed in red official robes, quickly passed the stairs under the protection of Niu Gensheng and dozens of his relatives and soldiers, and ran towards this side.

Mao Wenlong smiles and takes the lead in facing the front.

Li Yuanqing naturally saw Mao Wenlong, but before Mao Wenlong came, Li Yuanqing was busy kneeling on one knee and saluting Mao Wenlong respectfully, "humble Li Yuanqing, I've met the marshal!"

Everyone was stunned, obviously did not expect Li Yuanqing to have such an action.

But then, everyone also reflected that Li Yuanqing himself was Mao Wenlong's personal soldier background, and it was normal to have such an attitude.

In the Liao Dynasty, even in the whole Ming Dynasty, who didn't know that Li Yuanqing was the most old-fashioned man?

Mao Wenlong didn't expect Li Yuanqing meeting to give him such a face. His old face was already full of laughter. He quickly stepped forward a few steps, helped Li Yuanqing up in person, and laughed: "Yuanqing, it's hard. Between you and me, why should we be so polite? Get up, please

Li Yuanqing got up carefully, but he was still very respectful to Mao Wenlong, "commander-in-chief, as the saying goes, he is a teacher for one day and a father for all his life. Marshal is Yuanqing's teacher, but also Yuanqing's loving father. With the commander in chief, Yuanqing has the backbone

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you child! Ha ha ha! Still so nostalgic! Come on, the sun is too poisonous here. Let's go to the official hall to talk! "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "I'm humble and obey you!"

Surrounded by a crowd of generals, Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong rushed to Mao Wenlong's office. Behind them, someone was ready to receive the gift from Li Yuanqing.

The official hall has already prepared a sumptuous banquet.

In fact, Mao Wenlong and the headquarters of Dongjiang are also in the light of Li Yuanqing.

Last year, the battle of Fuzhou went smoothly. The Changsheng camp successfully recovered the food and rates of Fuzhou and Jinzhou, including Lushun and PiDao. The imperial court was not only very happy, but also increased 100000 Liang.

This year's food and rates will also be allocated immediately.

In this way, even if Chen Jisheng's damage to the right association and his failure in the periphery can not directly affect the foundation of Dongjiang. At least, in terms of food and materials, Dongjiang does not have to worry about it for the time being.

As for manpower, with Mao Wenlong's shrewdness, will Dongjiang headquarters still be short of people?

In the official hall, the banquet was very rich, almost the best in Li Yuanqing's memory.

Li Yuanqing is undoubtedly the center of the banquet.

He sat at the bottom of Mao Wenlong's main seat, and all the generals and officers came forward to propose a toast to Li Yuanqing.

After a few days, they would like to have a drink with his colleagues. The rest of the time was left to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing is also heroic, almost all visitors, the banquet atmosphere is more and more warm.

At this time, Ma Gonggong also carried a glass of wine and walked to Li Yuanqing with a smile, "General Li, you are really powerful! I admire you! Here, I'd like to propose a toast to you

As the supervisor of Dongjiang headquarters, Ma Gonggong has to bear the responsibility for the failure of the headquarters and Chen Jisheng's right association this time. He has no choice but to take responsibility.

Even, it is still uncertain whether we can keep the position of the overseer.

Li Yuanqing did not expect that such a figure as Ma Gonggong would condescend to propose a toast to him.

At the beginning, father-in-law Ma's eyes were in the sky. Even if he looked, he was too lazy to look at Li Yuanqing.

But in a flash, Li Yuanqing also wanted to understand the joints. He couldn't help laughing. "Duke Ma praised his humble work. He served the emperor. It's not worth mentioning! Mr. Ma, you should do your duty first

With that, Li Yuanqing picked up his glass, raised his neck and killed the wine in the cup.

"Ha ha General Li is really heroic. "

Mr. Ma chuckled and was about to say something to Li Yuanqing. At this time, Chen liangce came over quickly with a glass of wine. "Yuanqing, our brothers are gone. Come on, let's go!"

Li Yuanqing made an apology to Ma Gong and went to meet Chen liangce with a smile.

Mr. Ma's eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Chen liangce, flashing a strong hatred, but in a flash, he walked aside with a smile.

Chen liangce was talking to Li Yuanqing on his side. He could not help but spit hard when Mr. Ma turned around and said to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, this old miscellaneous pickle is really deceiving!"

Li Yuanqing said in a low voice, "brother Chen, what happened?"

Chen liangce spat in a low voice: "Yuanqing, let's talk about it in the evening. In the evening, go to my house to drink. Zhang pan and Mao Chenglu will also go. We brothers must have a good drink. "

Li Yuanqing has already understood that the failure of Dongjiang will inevitably intensify the internal contradictions. People like Chen liangce may have moved their minds.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing nodded, "brother Chen, it's OK. I'll see the marshal firstChen liangce said with a smile, "Yuanqing, our brother, we don't have much to say. Brother should do it first."

Li Yuanqing smiles and drinks up the wine.

After Chen liangce and Li Yuanqing finished drinking, all the generals who were qualified to drink with Li Yuanqing basically walked once.

Li Yuanqing smiles and apologizes to the generals and leaves the banquet first. I'm afraid Mao Wenlong has been waiting for him for a long time.

Out of the hall, a private soldier had been waiting here for a long time. He was busy and respectful and said, "Marshal Li, the commander-in-chief is waiting for you in the little garden."

Li Yuanqing a smile, hand over the soldier a 50 Liang silver note, smile way: "thank you brother."

The soldier was overjoyed.

He is a close soldier recently promoted to Mao Wenlong. He has heard of Li Yuanqing's name of supporting justice for a long time, but he still didn't expect that Li Yuanqing would take 50 Liang

This is the money he can't earn in ten years.

A moment later, he responded and said, "Li Shuai, please follow me!"

Li Yuanqing smiles, nods, and follows the soldier behind him.
