The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

As the night fell, the wind and snow became heavier and heavier, and the cold north wind swept across the sky, tearing the whole world apart.

At this time, outside the official hall of Zhenjiang City, the lights were bright.

A pile of red campfires was burning, dispelling most of the cold of the night. The gentry and noble families in more than 100 famous towns of Jiangcheng had been waiting outside for a long time, waiting for the news that they would be called in.

These gentry are not fools.

Li Yuanqing used Cao Er Niang to inform them of the banquet in the evening. To a large extent, it has shown the sincerity of the Ming army. Otherwise, it would not be Cao erniang's servants, but the soldiers in full armed.

"Lao Wang, what a surprise. The Ming army was able to conquer Zhenjiang city again. And it only took one night. Well, this Li Yuanqing is really a character. "

In a corner of the crowd, a thin, white haired old man whispered to a chubby middle-aged man.

Fat old Wang's face was very white, and he always had a smile like Maitreya Buddha. When he heard this, he quickly looked around and found that no one was paying attention to them. Then he lowered his voice and almost said, "brother Qi, be careful. The Tartars are so powerful that we don't know whether the Ming army can hold Zhenjiang or not

Old Qi, a thin old man, nodded in deep thought, "Lao Wang, I'm also worried about this. It's said that Mao Wenlong is here, too. "

Fat old Wang suddenly sneered, "hum. Mao's name is just a bully. He has already pit our people in Zhenjiang once, but he wants to pit us again? "

Lao Qi shook his head slightly. "Lao Wang, you can't say that. At the beginning, Mao Wenlong also had difficulties. Ah. It's all done by these bloody Tartars. "

Lao Wang nodded, but he did not answer.

Lao Qi knew that Lao Wang still had a deep connection with Mao Wenlong, so he changed the topic and said, "Lao Wang, what's the intention of Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing asking us to come here this time?"

Lao Wang thought for a moment and then suddenly sneered, "what else can I do for you? Wool comes from sheep. No wonder it's up to us to help. Maybe, Li Yuanqing, who is young and vigorous, is more ruthless than Mao Wenlong. "

Just as old Qi was about to open his mouth, the door of the official hall was opened. A middle-aged Eunuch in a red eunuch's robe, with a smile on his face, came out with a smile under the guard of dozens of tall soldiers. It was Wei who did not think well and neglected the guests. I also hope that all members of the Council and the old men will have a deep understanding of each other. Somebody. Please, please, and invite all the members and gentlemen to come in and have a cup of hot tea to warm up

"Ladies and gentlemen, please!"

The relatives and soldiers hastened to serve around, straightened up and respectfully welcomed the gentry into the official hall.

The gentry here have all their eyes.

Looking at Wei Liang's official robes, they all realized that today's standard is a little scary. The eunuchs and the guards came out to meet

This, this is to kill them hard in the neck?

Someone in front of me said with a smile, "father-in-law, you are really killing me. After you, father-in-law. "

Wei Liang, however, said with a smile: "all the members and the master are noble people. I'm so happy to give someone face to me. Ladies and gentlemen, please

Wei Liang had already made a full gesture. How could the gentry in front of him resist?

Soon, some people could not resist Wei Liang's power and began to enter.

Not far behind, old Qi lowered his voice and said, "the old eunuch's surname is Wei. Can't it be that he is..."

Lao Wang was also surprised. He had heard that there was a supervisor named Wei in Changsheng Island, but he didn't know the details. At this time, the Duke of Wei actually came to meet them in person

For a moment, Lao Wang said, "Lao Qi, there is something wrong with this today. We must be more careful. "

Lao Qi nodded, "that's right. We'll have to work together. "

………

In the official hall, a dozen grand banquets have been arranged.

Zhenjiang city was the core territory of the later Jin Dynasty. To a large extent, the old slaves also managed Zhenjiang with painstaking efforts.

But Li Yuanqing's sudden destruction of the city, Daishan and Amin were unprepared and retreated in a hurry, which also made a lot of materials and goods in Zhenjiang City fall into the hands of the Ming army in vain.

Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing have a strong foundation with abundant materials. Each table has more than 20 dishes, flying in the sky, climbing on the ground, swimming in the water, all of which are of high standard.

Li Yuanqing was not familiar with these gentry, mainly because his status was not enough when he was in Zhenjiang city.

However, Mao Wenlong had many acquaintances, and soon began to exchange greetings with others.

With the help of Wei Liang, Zhang Qiliang and Duke Ma, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became lively.

Zhang Qiliang and Duke Ma personally led the people to take their seats, while Wei Liang stood in the middle with Mao Wenlong and called on them.Looking at Wei Liang in the middle of the high spirited, Ma Gonggong's eyes flashed a touch of unspeakable sadness.

Once upon a time, Wei Liang was not as good as a dog in front of him. He even disdained to look at Wei Liang.

However, at this time, Wei Liang's "next to" Li Yuanqing. Although his rank is not as high as that of him for the time being, he has become the number one supervisor in the Liao area.

"Damn it! People are more than people. It's really irritating. " Mr. Ma spat in his heart.

But the situation is better than people.

This time, Li Yuanqing conquered Zhenjiang with his own strength. It must be that Wei Liang, an old dog, wants to go to a higher level.

Even if Mr. Ma is not happy, he is unable to change the reality.

Li Yuanqing has already reached the zenith of the sun, and even faintly has overthrew Mao Wenlong. He can only think of a way to try to mix with Li Yuanqing and get some soup to drink, so that he will not be hungry.

"Master Ma, you can arrange for these masters here."

At this time, suddenly heard Wei Liang's call, Ma Gonggong did not dare to think about it any more. He hastened to clean up his mind and said with a smile, "OK. I'll be right here. " Go and work.

With their three supervisors and Mao Wenlong in charge, Li Yuanqing has nothing to do.

In some dark corner, Li Yuanqing is sitting on a soft couch, carrying a glass of wine, slowly tasting.

Next to him, Chen Zhong is bored playing with the wine glass in his hand and glancing at the people in the hall.

For a moment, he whispered, "Yuanqing, I think these people are not so easy to get along with. If we don't kill a group of people and set an example to others, I'm afraid it will be very difficult for them to follow us. "

Li Yuanqing slowly tasted a mouthful of wine, but slowly shook his head, "big brother, are all Han family children, if you can live one person, it is one person. Don't worry about it. Let's take our time. "

Chen Zhong didn't understand Li Yuanqing's meaning, but at this time, he naturally did not ask much. He was self-contained and patient, and slowly tasted the wine in the cup.

This banquet, Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing are basically treated with the highest standard.

In addition to Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Chen Jisheng and Zhang pan, were not allowed to participate.

The gentry soon discovered the situation, and for a moment they murmured.

At this time, almost all the seats in the venue had been arranged. Mao Wenlong also sat down on the main table. Wei Liang got up and said with a smile, "ladies and gentlemen. Today is the first day for the elite children of Ming Dynasty to enter the city. We should not have disturbed your leisure. But as you all know, at present, the Tartars of later Jin Dynasty are rampant and inhumane. We must be well prepared before we can deal with... "

Listening to Wei Liang's "chattering" a chase, Li Yuanqing could not help but also revealed a little smile.

An old eunuch, who is usually wilting, is now on the scene. He is radiant and behaves in a proper way, even better than Li Yuanqing thought.

As the old saying goes, "the butt decides the head.".

However, the better Wei Liang performed, the more he saved Li Yuanqing a lot of energy.

At this time, Li Yuanqing winked at Chen Zhong, stood up with a smile and walked towards the crowd ahead.

Chen Zhong got up quickly and followed Li Yuanqing.

"Folks, fathers, Yuanqing's military affairs are busy. I'm a little late. Please forgive me! Yuan Qing should be fined three cups of wine to make amends to all the people. "

Said, Li Yuanqing a smile, "bring wine!"

"Yes

For a moment, Niu Gensheng personally carried the tray and quickly came to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiles and fills the three wine glasses one by one, and looks at the people in the hall with a smile.

At this time, they did not understand that the tall commander in chief was Li Yuanqing, who was famous and powerful in the world.

They all got up in a hurry, "Li junmen heroic."

"Li junmen is powerful! I'm worthy of being a brilliant man

"Li junmen..."

Looking at the crowd's continuous flattery, Li Yuanqing smiles and waves his hand to show that they are quiet.

Although Li Yuanqing seems to be just a simple action, the crowd on the scene seems to be able to clearly feel his strength. For a moment, he was silent, and the whole hall became quiet.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "marshal and I are not strangers to Zhenjiang! In the first year of the apocalypse, the commander and I were really distressed for a long time. Fortunately, today, the elite of Daming is back! Tonight, I have nothing to say. Parents, fellow villagers and relatives must eat and drink well

With that, Li Yuanqing bowed his hand and sat down on the main table.

Chen Zhong also "draws the gourd ladle according to the gourd" and follows Li Yuanqing's pattern just now.

The atmosphere in the hall became more heated.

Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Wei Liang, Ma Gonggong, Zhang Qiliang, and several leading gentry in Zhenjiang city all sat down at the main table, drinking and drinking.The rest of the table, also began to push the cup to change the lamp, the hall for a while lively.

At a table near the corner, Lao Qi and Lao Wang are still sitting at the same table.

"Lao Wang, what kind of tricks are Li Yuanqing and Mao Wenlong playing? Are they really just inviting us to drink tonight and apologizing to us? "

Lao Wang took a hard drink and suddenly sneered, "sorry? Zhenjiang people's blood feud, is not an apology can be resolved? Hum. Let's not be in a hurry, just wait and see what happens

Lao Qi nodded slowly and focused his eyes on the main table.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

On the main table, Hai Hai, the head of Zhenjiang's family, stood up with a smile and said respectfully to Mao Wenlong and Li Yuanqing on the table: "a few guardians, Mao junmen, Li junmen, General Chen, before they came, I discussed with all the gentry in the city, and would like to make a modest contribution to the king's division of Ming Dynasty."

As he said this, he looked at the crowd with a smile, and his eyes focused on Mao Wenlong's face. Finally, he fell on Li Yuanqing and said with a smile, "we, the soldiers and civilians in Zhenjiang, would like to present 50000 taels of grain and grass, 100 pigs, 80 mules and horses, and 1000 catties of chickens, ducks and dry goods. Please accept it

Ren Haihai's voice was not very loud, but all the people around were paying attention to the movements on the main table. They could hear everything clearly and looked at the heads of the Ming army on the main table.

No one is a fool.

This is obviously the "Hongmen banquet".

No one could have thought naively that the Ming army would come to invite them to dinner as soon as they entered the city.
