The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Although the cabin is only a few steps away, when several people rush into the cabin, they have been drenched.

Chen Zhong couldn't help scolding, "he's a grandmother. What does the old man mean?"

Li Yuanqing's face is not good-looking. In this era, people's understanding of the ocean is still too shallow, and there is no steel giant ship. Although the sand boat is also strong, no one knows how long this ship can last under such bad conditions.

If it's really because of this weather, it's really unjust to die before leaving school.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the fleet is still within the Bohai Strait and is relatively close to land. Even if there is any accident, it is not without countermeasures.

But not to the worst, Li Yuanqing certainly does not want to give up. After all, these ships are not only the foundation of Mao Wenlong, but also that of Li Yuanqing.

"Don't panic. Brother Shang, tell the sailors below to hold on to me. " Li Yuanqing drinks to the sixth merchant.

Shang Laoliu also knew that the matter was urgent, so he went to the cabin to inform him.

At this time, Li Yuanqing also calmed down and ordered shunzi: "go tell the helmsman to keep close to the general's boat, and take a slow step. I'll take his head."

Shunzi rushed to inform.

Looking at the two people left, Li Yuanqing was a little relieved.

The storm outside the cabin became more and more severe, and the sea was so rough that it seemed to turn the whole world upside down.

Chen Zhong was also in a state of shock. "Yuanqing, is this God angry with us?"

Seeing that Chen Zhong, a man who was not afraid of heaven and earth, was shaken, Li Yuanqing realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly explained, "brother Chen, this is none of our business. At this time, it is the storm and rainy season at sea. We were just lucky. Don't worry. It's not far from land. We'll be all right. "

It's not short to meet Li Yuanqing. Chen Zhong knows that his brother Li, though young, is reliable in handling affairs. He also knows that Li Yuanqing is a consolation to himself, but he is still steadfast in his heart.

However, his headquarters are all on Mao Wenlong's ship. At this time, he can't help worrying about his brothers.

The storm seemed to be endless, and from noon till night there was still no sign of stopping.

During the day, people can barely tell the direction, but at night, the visibility is terrible.

Originally, Li Yuanqing's sand boat had been closely following Mao Wenlong's boat, but as soon as it was dark, he couldn't keep up with him.

A boat of more than 100 people, like pupils who have made mistakes, are waiting for the teacher's punishment.

At this time, Li Yuanqing became more and more calm. At this time, he was afraid that it would not have any effect. He would only make the soldiers at the bottom panic. If he wanted to pacify the people, he had to keep calm first.

"Brothers, I have asked Wang Hai that the storm will last till tomorrow morning at most. If you have a good sleep and wake up, everything will be over. Tonight, let's watch by Li Yuanqing and elder brother Chen Zhong. You can sleep in peace. "

Wang Hai can't help but be stunned. When did he say such a thing to Li Tou?

But when Li Yuanqing said this, he also understood what Li Yuanqing meant. Of course, he did not dare to refute it. He was just frightened. Although he had experience, he did not know whether the storm would stop tomorrow morning.

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and couldn't help laughing. "It's a great pleasure to be able to watch the night with brother Li for the brothers. Children, you sleep in peace. God wants to accept it, but I have to see if he has such a big courage. "

Chen Zhong's heroic spirit also made the soldiers in the cabin calm a lot. Everyone laughed and their mood gradually stabilized.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong sat at the door of the cabin, paying close attention to every move outside.

It was the first time for Li Yuanqing to face the horrors of the sea. Human beings have always been conquerors. However, in this era, facing the tremendous power of nature, we can only avoid its edge.

In the morning, the helmsman came to report, "Li Tou, we were beaten back 5 or 60 Li by the sea breeze last night, and now we don't know where we are."

Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong didn't sleep all night, their spirit was excellent. Their relationship was further strengthened because of their fighting side by side.

"Have you found the general in the boat and the brothers behind him?" Li Yuanqing is most worried about the ship being blown away, which can be a big trouble.

The helmsman said, "the general is about a mile ahead, and the brothers of the two ships behind will not be more than two miles."

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong looked at each other for a second, and then they were relieved. They couldn't help laughing and said, "brother Chen, I'll say it. The sky will never stop us."

Chen Zhong was also very happy. He was like a survivor. "Ha ha, brother Li, what a wonderful night. Unfortunately, there is no good wine to help

Li Yuanqing a smile, "when we arrive at Guanglu Island, we must not be drunk."At this time, although the rainstorm outside the cabin still did not stop, but the rain was much smaller, the sky was also a little brighter, and the visibility was improved qualitatively.

It's summer. Although the storm is strong, it doesn't hurt people. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong come to class a directly and look out at the sea in the early morning rain.

In front of them, Mao Wenlong's boat is looming, and they seem to have not been substantially hurt. The two ships in the back can also see shadows. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are relieved.

At this time, Wang Hai suddenly said, "look, look over there. There is a small fishing boat over there."

After all, he was the son of the sea, and his eyesight was much better than those of the land people like Li Yuanqing. Li Yuanqing and Chen zhongbusily followed Wang Hai's finger and found that there was a small fishing boat, struggling to drift in the sea, not far from their side.

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed. "Go and inform the helmsman to get close to the small fishing boat."

Soon, the sand boat turned its rudder and slowly approached the small fishing boat. The soldiers lowered the rope and pulled the two men on board.

When Li Yuanqing inquired carefully, he was even more overjoyed. The two were father and son, surnamed Li. They were the aborigines of Guanglu island. A few days ago, they went out to sea to fish. They happened to encounter a storm. They had no time to go back and were trapped at sea.

Their father and son are very familiar with the sea area, but they can't go home directly.

"Old man Li, would you like to take our Master Wang to Guanglu island?"

Li Yuanqing looked at the old man with a smile and said, "as long as things are done, the general will not grudge your father and son's reward."

Although Li was a fisherman, he was absolutely not stupid. Knowing that this was the best shortcut for his son to become an official, he quickly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, "my Lord, the little old man and his son are willing to serve Wang Shi."

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are both overjoyed. God is taking care of them.

Although the storm was still very heavy, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong directly drove the sand boat under them to full power and caught up with Mao Wenlong's boat. Several people took a boat and risked their lives to get on Mao Wenlong's boat.

Mao Wenlong was extremely tired after a night's storm. His eyes were full of bloodstains. The great cause had gone smoothly. But if he was interrupted by God at this time, would he not have died in peace?

"Yuan Qing, Chen Zhong, why did you two take such a big risk? What can I do for you? " Even though he is already haggard, Mao Wenlong still keeps a gentle tone to the two people.

Li Yuanqing took a look at Chen Zhong, and Chen Zhong said, "general, Yuanqing and I rescued a small fishing boat in the morning. The old man Li and his son on the fishing boat are all natives of Guanglu island. They are willing to take us out of the storm and go to Guanglu island."

Mao Wenlong was overjoyed when he heard the speech, "quick, quickly bring people up."

Soon, Li and his son were brought up by the soldiers. Mao Wenlong inquired carefully, and the father and son of Li gave detailed answers.

Mao Wenlong finally patted old man Li on the shoulder, "you father and son have done me a great deal. When I arrive at Guanglu Island, I will report it to the imperial court and allow you to be a thousand households. "

Old Li and his son were overjoyed. They knew there would be a reward, but they didn't expect it. They went all out to kowtow to Mao Wenlong. "General, the little old son and son are willing to serve the general."

Li and his son went to the front cabin to guide the helmsman. Mao Wenlong also relaxed.

He looked at Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, especially Li Yuanqing, "this time, you two have made great achievements."

Chen Zhong laughs straight. He is close to Mao Wenlong. He doesn't have much to worry about. "General, I think God is on our side."

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "the general is the dragon and Phoenix among the people. Naturally, it can turn a calamity into a blessing."

Mao Wenlong laughed, "Yuanqing, Jisheng is right. You are good at everything, but you are too careful. What matter, always think for others first. I'm not blind. I know how much you've done. "

Li Yuanqing can't help being overjoyed. This is Mao Wenlong's promise to himself, "humble duty is willing to die for the general."

"Get up, you two. Let's go and have breakfast with me

……

Although the storm continued, with the local Aboriginal Li Laohan and his son leading the way, the fleet seemed to have a street light and set foot on the right channel.

On the morning of the fourth day of July, the team arrived at the Western sea area of Guanglu Island, a large island in the Liaohai sea.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have been on Mao Wenlong's boat these days, accompanying Mao Wenlong. Seeing that Guanglu island is in sight, Chen Zhong takes the lead in asking for a battle: "general, I am willing to take Guanglu island for the general with my brother Li."

Chen Zhong opened his mouth. Of course, Mao Wenlong would not refuse. He said with a smile, "OK. I'll give you both this chance to make contributions. Remember, killing is not the purpose. You should control the situation on the island in the shortest possible time. "

However, in the first half of the sentence, Mao Wenlong spoke to Chen Zhong, and the second half to Li Yuanqing.

Two people kowtow to thank, Li Yuanqing way: "general and peace of mind, humble two people, will not bear the trust."Soon, several small boats approached the shore in the light rain in the early morning, led by old man Li and his son. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, 70 or 80 people in total, quietly boarded Guanglu island.

Last time, Li Yuanqing gained a lot from the refugees in Sanchahe. Chen Zhong, a veteran soldier, gained a lot. He directly added more than 30 people, all of whom were young and strong.

At this time, there were nearly 80 people in the two departments, and almost the last one was reorganized into a hundred households. It can be said that the troops are strong and strong, and the foundation is naturally more sufficient.

There are storms these days, and the residents of the island will not go fishing. Under the leadership of Li Laohan and his son, the team quietly sneaks into the hinterland of Guanglu island.

Guanglu island is a large island in Liaoning Province, covering an area of more than 30 square kilometers. It has dense forests, abundant fresh water, rich resources and a large population. There are more than a dozen small villages on the island. They are in a small town in the middle of the island.

The later Jin Dynasty occupied the southern part of Liaoning Province. Due to the lack of manpower, many of them followed the old system of the Ming Dynasty, especially the "remote" islands which were not on land.

Basically, there is one island official with more than ten or dozens of garrisons to take care of the people and collect taxes.

Some of the island officials are hundreds of households, and some are thousands of households. For example, on a large island like Guanglu Island, Hu Kebin, the island official, is the Deputy one.

Thinking that his father and son had become the officials of the imperial court, the old man Li and his son worked harder. Li said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Chen, the town is ahead. The little old man asked my son, who is not a good tool, to show you the way and kill him directly to Hu Kebin's house
