The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Li Yuanqing and man GUI ran all the way. Until the middle of the night, the brigade crossed the Xiaoling River and entered the actual control area of the Ming army. Only then did they turn to a forest behind a mound for temporary rest.

However, Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect for a moment. Niu Gensheng, with 50 soldiers, stood guard on the slopes of the left and right sides to deal with all kinds of changes at any time.

The deterrence and coverage of Houjin cavalry are too strong.

If only with cold weapons, the Ming army can hardly become their opponent.

When this situation can not be completely controlled by himself, Li Yuanqing is not careful.

However, although all of us were very tired after a night's running, they won the battle after all, and their spirits were very good.

Unfortunately, the prey that Manchurian osmanthus has fought hard these days is also turned into coke in the fire. At this time, the officers and soldiers can only take hard dry food and cold water to satisfy their hunger.

"Yuanqing, ah. What a pity! These Tartars are the first class! I could see it clearly at that time. At least eight Chengdu are real slaves. Ah. What the hell... "

Manchu took a mouthful of dry food, and then recalled the scene of the fire. For a moment, he felt some unspeakable chagrin.

Although the dry food was hard, cold and astringent, Li Yuanqing ate it with relish and said with a smile, "brother GUI, it's over, it's over. At that time, we had no other good way. If you think so, we won after all. Zhennu is such a small number of people, one died less. At least, the Tartars have suffered enough casualties. This time it was a bit too sudden. Next time, we will be ready to call back. Isn't it just the head of a tartar? "

"It's the same thing."

Li Yuanqing said so bluntly, Manchu soon understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, but hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, the most important, the most important is that there are too few heads, we are not enough to divide."

"Ha ha."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "brother GUI, it's because of me. It's your son who has contributed to this battle. How can I still have these heads? Brother GUI, I'm going to return to Changsheng island tomorrow. "

How can man GUI not understand Li Yuanqing's meaning? Busy way: "Yuan Qing, this, how can this be done? This, this... "

Li Yuanqing hehe smile, "brother GUI, what form is my side now you also understand. Yuan Qing needs more help from elder brother GUI about horse breeding. "

………

After a day of fierce fighting, the officers and men were very tired.

After dinner, the red bonfire was lit up, and the soldiers soon fell asleep by the campfire.

After pacifying the mood of manchui, Li Yuanqing is preparing to go to the nearby trees to drain water. At this time, the casualties in this battle are also counted out.

But Li Yuanqing looked back and saw that man GUI was leaning against the campfire and fell asleep. In a moment, the thunder like snoring was heard through.

Li Yuanqing was also a little speechless for a moment. This guy's heart is not so big.

Li Yuanqing also had to let man GUI, the personal commander, report the results of his battle to himself.

After listening, Li Yuanqing's face was even more smiling. He patted the commander-in-chief on the shoulder with a smile, "go to bed early. Just give me the camp guard. "

The personal commander looked at Li Yuanqing respectfully, "commander Li, this, this..."

Li Yuanqing a smile, "go."

How can the commander dare to resist Li Yuanqing's meaning? Hurry and respectfully retreat to one side to rest.

Although he was tired physically and mentally, Li Yuanqing was not sleepy enough. Standing under a big tree on the small slope, he was facing the cold night wind and overlooking the surrounding scenery.

In this battle, the Ming army lost less than 20 casualties.

Among them, 12 were killed in the battle, and two of them were still killed because they were too eager to escape and fell off their horses. Most of them were children from the Ministry of Manchuria.

Only three of Li Yuanqing's family members were slightly injured. Most of them were scratched by trees when cutting firewood and making simple javelins, which can be ignored.

Although there were few results in this battle, it was a good start for the cooperation between Li Yuanqing and the Ministry of Manchu and Guangxi.

With this cooperation with the Ministry of Manchu and Guangxi, Li Yuanqing also understood the fighting power of the traditional Ming army.

Of course, it may also be because of the urgency of the matter. Many subsequent arms and firepower failed to keep up with it, so that manchui could not fully use it and cover up some of his sharpness.

However, these soldiers in manchui are basically his own soldiers, especially cavalry archers. They are of such scale

Not to mention, most of Guan Ning are recruits.

This kind of soldier, such an army, may be able to maintain the city by guarding the city and fighting a downwind battle, but if it is really a tough battle, this

Li Yuanqing was suddenly amused.

How did governor yuan come up with the so-called "five years of Ping Liao"?

Who is it?

Who gave him so much courage?

Did he not know the scale of guanning army under his control?In other words, governor yuan only regarded several thousand servants of the Zujia and Wujia families as soldiers. The rest of the troops were cannon fodder and air. Could they choose to hide them from sight?

Although it is March, but the night wind is still very cold, even if the trees cover, still can not offset most of the chill.

A gust of cold forest wind, Li Yuanqing can not help but also hit a shiver, but the mind is more clear.

History has proved that leading the army by literati is the greatest tragedy of Daming.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no real elites in the literati class of Daming. However, restricted by the traditional education and the fixed thinking mode, most of the literati elites play tricks in front of the emperor, which is their strong point.

But when it comes to doing things, these people

Li Yuanqing doesn't remember who said, "if you want to be a loyal minister, you have to be more treacherous than a treacherous one."

According to the general environment of the Ming Dynasty, if the literati want to do things, they should have at least several key elements.

First of all, we must have the ability, insight and skill far beyond ordinary people, so that we can truly know the soldiers and know how to run the army and how to fight.

Moreover, we must have a critical and clear political mind and know how to protect ourselves, rather than blindly drift with the tide for the sake of the overall situation.

There is also the most important point, the heart must be hard, the hands should be black, and fast.

Unfortunately, in Daming, there are a lot of people who can achieve the first point, but I'm afraid we can't find the one that can take both the first point and the second point into consideration.

As for the third key point, it can only be extravagant.

Li Yuanqing is also a little lucky that fate has made him come to this era.

What's more, thanks to his hard work, both southern Liaoning and Eastern Liaoning are on the right track, even though there are still many places in the two places that are not perfect, lack of medicine and materials.

However, at this time, the two places maintain and operate normally for the time being, and there are no major obstacles.

In the west of Liaoning Province, although Li Yuanqing is still unable to get involved, it is the best opportunity to have Manchurian osmanthus in it.

Li Yuanqing suddenly thought of the poem Saint of that time, "good rain knows the season, when spring is happening. Sneak into the night with the wind, moisten things silently... "

At this time, although the general trend of history has not changed much, the appearance of Li Yuanqing is like a small Mars, which has polished the Dongjiang River and ignited the southern Liaoning Province. It has left a vital seed for the Ming Dynasty and the 5000 year old inheritance of the Chinese nation.

………

Although he stayed up almost all night, Li Yuanqing got up at daybreak the next day, washed his face with the snow on the ground, trotted for a few circles, and moved his body with the support of the tree trunk.

Manchu soon woke up. Looking at Li Yuanqing, who was already in high spirits, he had to admire him, "Yuanqing, you Well, it seems that we are not a few years behind each other, are we? How can the gap be so big? "

Li Yuanqing laughed, "brother GUI, as the saying goes, life lies in sports. If you want to keep fit, you should exercise more. ha-ha. It's all about sports. "

Manchu can't help being speechless for a moment. He thought that Li Yuanqing said "meat language", but he didn't know it. What Li Yuanqing said was just the simplest common sense of later generations.

After a simple breakfast, but also to the time of parting, Manchu has some unspeakable reluctance.

At this time, he finally understood why Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong always hope to be around Li Yuanqing or take care of Li Yuanqing whenever they fight.

Yesterday, the situation was critical, and Manchu didn't have much time to experience and understand it. But at this time, when the crisis was over, Manchu suddenly wanted to understand how crucial it was to be able to keep calm and meticulous in the face of crisis.

Otherwise, he would have to pay more than a hundred or even more lives to replace him, let alone the head of the Tartars in his thirties.

"Yuanqing, I'm tired all night. I'd better go to Ningyuan camp and have a rest for a few days. Otherwise, we can go to Jinzhou and have a good drink. "

Manchu took Li Yuanqing's hand.

Li Yuanqing smiles, "brother GUI, there is a long way to go. We have a long way to go. I've been away from the island for more than a month. It's time to go back and have a look. There are a lot of things waiting on the island. "

Manchui naturally understood that Li Yuanqing's task was much more important than his simple general. Seeing that Li Yuanqing had no intention of leaving, he could only focus on the key points and nodded to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "Yuanqing, you can rest assured. It's up to my brother to plant horses. These days, I will wait in the Jinzhou defense area until the stallion is finished. "

Li Yuanqing shook his head, looked at man GUI's eyes, and said in a low voice: "brother GUI, it's not urgent to plant horses. If you have leisure, you'd better go to Shanhaiguan to see the elder. The old man is old. Unfortunately, I.... "

"Eh?"

Mangui just wanted to say something, but found that Li Yuanqing had turned over his horse, forced a whip, and quickly ran to the south.Left to him, only facing the sun's most familiar with a brilliant smile.

………

Two days later, Li Yuanqing successfully joined the fleet at the mouth of Xiaoling River and set foot on the return journey to Changsheng island.

In the fourth year of Tianqi, although there were many trivial things, on the whole, they ate Zhenjiang City and defeated the large-scale offensive of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty in Liaodong. Li Yuanqing, Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong made great progress in all aspects.

At this time, the cold winter of the fourth year of Tianqi was about to pass, and the spring of the fifth year of Tianqi was coming.

A new chapter, a new journey, is about to set sail.
