The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The old woman was stunned. She didn't expect that Li Yuanqing's attitude had changed so much that she couldn't react for a moment.

But she was not ordinary. She was stunned for a moment and said with a quick smile, "you are really joking. My surname is Cao. My neighbors call me Cao erniang. If you have any orders, just tell me. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "Er Niang? ha-ha. That's a good name. By the way, er Niang, I really have something to do. I want to trouble you. "

Cao Er Niang said with a smile, "Sir, please speak up. I'm all ears. "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "Er Niang, you are a familiar face in Zhenjiang city. I'm new here and want to invite the gentry in Zhenjiang city to dinner. Please arrange this matter for me, er Niang. "

Cao Er Niang was stunned, and her face did not change. However, Li Yuanqing said that she had no way to refuse. She was stunned for a moment, and her voice trembled and said, "master, slave and maid, I will go and do this."

Hearing her change of address, Li Yuanqing faintly smiles, "Er Niang, you don't have to be nervous. It's a good old saying. If you often walk by the river, how can you keep your shoes wet? As long as you are at ease to do things for me, I will guarantee your safety. "

"Yes. Yes. Thank you for your grace, thank you for your grace. "

………

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Cao Er Niang leave with a few servant girls, and slowly let out a long breath.

Although the battle of Zhenjiang city was smooth in the war, it was far from simple to make it a reality.

In the first year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong's success in conquering Zhenjiang city was almost bloodless. One of the most important factors was that he was supported by the gentry in the city's heart.

But at this time, four years have passed, just born baby, already can run, everything, already changed.

At that time, Zhenjiang city was broken down, and countless gentry and common people in the city were slaughtered by the Jin army. Although Li Yuanqing did not do well enough, he was undoubtedly better than Mao Wenlong

In other words, at this time, Mao Wenlong's reputation in Zhenjiang city was far from comparable to that in other parts of Liaoning Province. In other words, his reputation in Zhenjiang city was already stinking

But it is not entirely to blame the people of Zhenjiang city.

The city head changes the king's flag.

For the common people, this is a very painful thing in itself.

In particular, the barbarians of the later Jin Dynasty, the slaughter of the city was just like a common meal.

Mao Wenlong can walk away with a pat on the buttocks, but the common people are almost unarmed. How can they compete with the ferocious eight flag cavalry?

It was like the new meeting of Guangdong and Guangxi.

The people of Xinhui did everything they could to resist the anti Qing armed forces of the Han people. They were ten times more fierce than fighting against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, causing great damage to their compatriots.

Why is this?

Isn't it because they were scared by the inhumane slaughterhouse of Manchu and wanted to leave some legacy and fireworks for their clans?

Li Yuanqing knew very well that even though there were 50000 troops in the south of Liaoning and Dongjiang, it was still very unrealistic for him to stick to it.

At this time, although there was a slaughterhouse in the later Jin Dynasty in the first year of Tianqi, because Li Yuanqing and the headquarters of Dongjiang became more and more powerful, the latter Jin Dynasty also implemented a "contraction" strategy in Liaodong region, which made a large number of people in the surrounding areas crowded in Zhenjiang city. At this time, there were at least 50000 people in Dingkou.

Finally, I tried my best to win the Zhenjiang city.

In the past, Li Yuanqing had no ability and no choice. He could only choose to protect himself and save his life first. However, at this time, Li Yuanqing has already had the power to control the universe. He must be responsible for the people in Zhenjiang city!

Be responsible for Daming and the Chinese nation!!

………

After a short rest on the soft couch in the living room of the central hall, it was already afternoon.

Niu Gensheng is waiting on the side. Seeing Li Yuanqing awake, he hastens forward and whispers: "general, the casualties and results of this war have been counted out."

Said, busy will a stack of books, respectfully handed to Li Yuanqing's hand.

Li Yuanqing eased his hands and feet, opened the book and glanced at it. His eyes were gloomy for a moment.

There were nearly 700 casualties in the camp, of which more than 300 were killed.

Most of them are long spearmen, and the cause of death is also very direct. They were hit and trampled to death by horses in the confrontation with the Houjin cavalry.

However, many wounded soldiers have broken arms and legs, and in heavy cases, they are afraid that there is something wrong with their internal organs.

Because Chen Zhong was not the main attack, he entered the city later and suffered less casualties, about 500 people.

Zhang pan has about 200 people there.

Mao Wenlong's personal sequence of casualties is very few, only dozens of people.

The main reason is that they did not join the war at the first time. Most of the casualties were injured when they went to the city to clear up the remaining gold.

However, there must be gains and losses. In terms of the results of this campaign, there were also many gains.The Ming army totally suppressed more than 2100 levels of the first Tartars, of which zhennu exceeded 1000.

This is a rare victory for the Ming army in recent years!

More importantly, the Ming army recovered Zhenjiang.

If you report to the imperial court, Mao Wenlong's achievements and reputation will surely go up to a higher level.

In addition, there are a lot of materials and goods in the city. These casualties seem less dazzling.

Li Yuanqing suddenly felt that with the passage of time and the rise of his status, he seemed to have lost his original reverence for life.

This is not a good sign

"Geng Sheng, it's hard. You go and have a rest. I'll call for you in the evening Li Yuanqing patted Niu Gensheng on the shoulder.

In the absence of the General Staff Headquarters, he would be the core of Li Yuanqing's central mobilization, and naturally he would not have a break.

Niu Gensheng nodded respectfully, "general Xie."

For a moment, he said in a low voice: "general, nianer girl has also come to the city. Now rest in the big tent in the city. "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "I know."

………

When Li Yuanqing came to the front yard of the official hall, Mao Wenlong was up, and his spirit was excellent. He was gazing at the sand table in the hall.

Li Yuanqing also had to admire Mao Wenlong's energy, which was in line with the old saying, "people are happy when they have a good time."

"Yuan Qing met the commander-in-chief." Li Yuanqing came forward with a smile and saluted Mao Wenlong.

Mao Wenlong laughed, "Yuanqing, are you up so soon? I thought you were going to sleep a little longer

Li Yuanqing also a smile, "commander-in-chief, when can Tartars disappear, we can all sleep well."

Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "I'm looking forward to this day, too."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "marshal, have you heard from the main force of this department? When will they arrive? "

"Soon, they are less than 50 li away from Zhenjiang. It is estimated that the vanguard will arrive at night. "

Li Yuanqing was also very happy. "When the main force of the headquarters arrived, we guarded the town, and then we filled in more than half of it."

The two exchanged greetings for a while, explaining some basic military affairs and government affairs. Li Yuanqing also expressed his long-standing thought, "commander, I want to move all the people in Zhenjiang city."

Mao Wenlong was stunned. His eyes narrowed slightly. For a moment, he was relieved. "Yuanqing, Zhenjiang city is afraid of no less than 50000 people at this time, and the river water has been frozen. It's hard. "

Li Yuanqing thought that this matter would take some trouble in Mao Wenlong, but he didn't expect that Mao Wenlong was so easy to pass.

It seems that Mao Wenlong can see clearly that it is not realistic to keep Zhenjiang city at this time.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's look, Mao Wenlong also understood Li Yuanqing's intention. He sighed a long time and said with a wry smile: "Yuanqing, I understand your mind. In the final analysis, it is I, Mao Wenlong, who can't live with the people in Zhenjiang city! What are your plans for this? "

After thinking for a moment, Li Yuanqing said: "commander in chief, for today's plan, we must first comfort the people. Let's wait until the main force of the Department arrives. "

Mao Wenlong nodded his head. "It's OK. By the way, Yuanqing, tonight's banquet can be decided by Duke Ma, Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang. "

Li Yuanqing was stunned. For a moment, he could not help but understand Mao Wenlong's mind. He couldn't help but exclaim: "commander in chief, wise and wise!"

When they met, they both laughed.

………

At dusk, the sky gradually became hazy, the continuous snow still did not stop, the noise of last night had already dispersed, and the whole world was wrapped in a layer of white silver, as if nothing had happened.

It's about to enter the twelfth lunar month, and the weather is getting colder and colder.

In later generations, Li Yuanqing had been to the Northeast many times, and the ordinary cold weather was about 20 degrees below zero.

But at this time, due to the influence of the small glacier, the weather is much colder than later generations.

In particular, early in the morning and one night, Li Yuanqing estimated that the temperature was at least 30 degrees below, or even higher.

Because of Mao Wenlong's existence, Li Yuanqing did not choose to settle down in the official hall, but set up a camp in the square at the gate of the hall.

Nian'er had already entered the city in the morning. When Li Yuanqing came to the big tent, the table had already been filled with several small dishes and warmed up two pots of wine.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "little girl, how do you know I'm coming?"

Nianer's pretty face turned red and said in a low voice, "I inquired about it with my brother-in-law. Sir, there is a banquet in the evening. You should eat more cushion stomach. Otherwise, it's so cold on this day that it will be troublesome to eat a bad stomach. "

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, held nianer's small hand, pulled her close to her arms, and said with a smile, "nian'er, you have a heart."

Read son a smile, busy from Li Yuanqing's thigh to get up, "Ye, maidservant serves you to eat."The dish is very simple, a dish of fried beans, a plate of scrambled eggs, a stack of pickles, and a pot of steamed bacon.

Although it is not good-looking, it is very delicious, especially rich in nutrition. It is most suitable for storing energy in this deep winter.

After a while, Li Yuanqing had already eaten most of his food. He touched nianer's cheek affectionately and indulged in saying, "now we are safe. We don't have to wander around any more. We can have a good rest here. Wait for me at night. "

"Well."

Nianer's pretty face was flushed with shame, and her big eyes looked forward to Li Yuanqing. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something. She thought for a while, but she didn't dare to say anything.

Li Yuanqing a smile, fondly holding her small hand, "with ye what words can't say?"

Nianer's heart was fixed, and the joy on her pretty face could not be concealed. But for a moment, she seemed to have some bitterness. She whispered, "listen, I heard that you have taken a fancy to a maid. Do you want to go and say hello to her first

Li Yuanqing was stunned. His face was a little gloomy.

"Atonement. Nianer doesn't dare to talk any more. " Nian'er was frightened and fell on the ground in a hurry, like a frightened oriole.

Looking at her trembling body, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiles, grabs her little hand, and pulls her into his arms. "Is it so terrible for me? This matter... "

Li Yuanqing wanted to ask her who she was listening to, but after thinking about it for a moment, she said with a smile: "wait a minute, you send someone to call her here and teach her the rules. Remember, she is only the lowest maid, you are the master. "
