The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

After careful and careful consideration, Li Yuanqing finally designated 12000 soldiers and 3000 auxiliary soldiers.

In addition to the more than 100 war horses in Changsheng Island, which contacted Jinzhou and Fuzhou, the remaining 3000 horses went out for the war.

Huang Guoshan and Wang Hai are the remaining generals. Together with Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper, they will coordinate with the remaining 8000 troops on the island to safeguard the safety and security of these three areas.

The urgent report sent to Guanglu island will also be sent out later. No accident, Chen Zhong's troops will be maintained at this scale.

As a result, the combined strength of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong exceeded 20000.

Even in the face of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty, the two also have enough confidence.

According to common sense, the purpose of this expedition was not to achieve results, but to surprise and disrupt the defense line and defense deployment of Houjin, which could not have used so many men and horses.

But Li Yuanqing thinks very clearly, if only take 3000 elite into Houjin hinterland, the effect seems to be better than this. After all, there are fewer people, faster speed and cleaner.

However, there are many cities in the Liaozhong plain, each with high walls and thick walls and a scale of 3000 people. Even if Chen Zhong's 3000 people are added, the materials and firepower they carry are bound to be limited. The role of harassment is enough, but if there is a chance, you can only look at the tall cities and sigh.

At this point, Li Yuanqing does not want to keep anything.

If Shenyang and Liaoyang can be carried out in one pot, if not, the 12000 people in Changsheng camp, together with Chen Zhongbu, can also get enough war training.

At noon the next day, 15000 troops began to board the ship, and countless people saw off at the shore and wharf.

Seeing off their husbands and their sons is the hope of seeing them off.

Li Yuanqing, accompanied by his wives, came to his boat.

"Brother, take care of yourself. Dingbei and I are waiting for your safe return. " Zhang yunniang's tears can't help but flow down.

Qu minqiu is also like this, with her red lips clenched and her small hand holding Li Yuanqing's big hand.

Many other wives and concubines, even Zhang Baozhu and Ren Yinger, are not qualified yet. To say goodbye to Li Yuanqing at such a close distance, they can only watch from one side with their eyes on them. It is heartbreaking to see all the other wives and concubines.

Although Li Yuanqing is not willing to give up, but the blood in his chest and abdomen, his burning soul, has already floated to the vast plains in the vast.

"Ha ha. What are you crying about. This time, it should not take too long. For a long time, it will take half a year or a few months for the army to return triumphantly. Wait for me at home

Li Yuanqing hugged Zhang yunniang heavily, then gave Qu minqiu a hard kiss on his pretty face, and strode into the crowd, kissing his wives and concubines one by one.

Although Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu are helpless, they can only accept the result and watch Li Yuanqing's tall back.

Not far away, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong say goodbye to their respective precious daughters in tears.

After careful consideration, Li Yuanqing finally decided to take Liu Qiao and Shu Murong on the expedition.

On the one hand, the two women can solve Li Yuanqing's physiological needs. On the other hand, it is also the most important reason. Shu Murong is a female immortal. She is proficient in Jurchen language and Chinese. Once there is a private matter, no one else can intervene. As Li Yuanqing's woman, Shu Murong has a place of use.

Li Yuanqing's two daughters are only half-year-old and have not yet been named. They are just called "Erya" and "Sanya", which are also the most popular names of ordinary people.

In the inheritance of Chinese civilization, it is more conducive to the healthy growth of children to give their favorite children a bad or even cheap nickname.

Although the medical conditions of Changsheng island are not much more than those of the imperial Hospital of the Imperial Palace, the limitations of the times lie here. In this regard, Li Yuanqing does not dare to guarantee too much. For his children, he can only choose tradition and superstition.

Looking at the two little girls carved with Pink Jade in their arms held by Liu Qiao and Shu Murong, Li Yuanqing's heart is also quite unpleasant.

But forced in the two little baby's small face each kiss, Li Yuanqing did not hesitate, resolutely set foot on the ship.

At this moment, he had no choice.

Only when he stands higher and goes further, his children will get the most and most advantageous resources in the world!

If we put them in other units, it will take at least one or two days to board the ship for 15000 people. But how strict is the discipline of the Changsheng camp?

Li Yuanqing is the chief General. He has the privilege to say goodbye to his wife and children. Ordinary soldiers can only say hello to their families in advance, and then board their ships quickly and effectively according to the order of their troops.

In the evening, everything, as scheduled, was ready.

With a wave of Li Yuanqing's hand, the messenger on the ship quickly passed the command to all places through the flag.

Along with Li Yuanqing's "Changsheng island" ship, it took the lead to sail to the deep sea in the West. Behind him, more than 1000 warships quickly lined up in line, and slowly sailed to the misty sea under the setting sun………

Four days later, on the evening of April 27 of Tianqi, the fleet successfully arrived at Gaizhou.

If we follow the speed of the express ship, it can take two days to get from Changsheng island to Gaizhou. However, the fleet is too large. In addition, it is the spring storm season in Liaohai sea. Li Yuanqing does not dare to make too much contribution and chooses the most secure way.

Gaizhou City, Li Yuanqing is not the first time to come.

However, before that, although Li Yuanqing had come to Gaizhou city to "flaunt his power", he was only a passer-by. At that time, he could not eat such a big city as Gaizhou city.

But at this time, the shotgun has been replaced by the gun, the bird has become a big eagle, everything has been completely different.

Under the influence of the old slave policy, Gaizhou city was basically an empty city at this time.

Li Yuanqing and the generals of Changsheng camp arrived in Gaizhou city in the afternoon. It took less than half an hour for Li Sansheng to conquer the city.

In the evening, Li Yuanqing has come to the official hall of Gaizhou city for dinner.

In the past, although Li Yuanqing had not been to Gaizhou City, but at this time, looking at the courtyard in the official hall full of weeds, Li Yuanqing's heart is also quite not taste.

Dog Tartars are barbarians after all.

It's just outrageous to give these wonderful lands to them.

This is one of the main reasons why Li Yuanqing led the army into the hinterland of Houjin.

It is a crime to give this vast and fertile land to these boar skins and dog Tartars.

After two days of rest in Gaizhou City, the bombed city gates and cities were restored. The soldiers also adapted to the process from land to sea, and then from sea to land.

The sentinels in all directions spread like a net.

On the evening of April 30, Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island arrived successfully.

As expected by Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong brought 10000 soldiers and 5000 auxiliary soldiers this time.

As a result, the combined combat capacity of the two departments has been properly over 30000, and the materials are also quite abundant. If we keep the city's strength, even if the main force of the later Jin Dynasty has been kept for a short period of half a year, there should not be too many problems.

In the evening, Li Yuanqing entertained Chen Zhong in the official hall of Gaizhou.

Naturally, there is not much nonsense between the two brothers.

After drinking a few cups of wine and eating some meat and vegetables, Chen Zhong said with a smile, "Yuanqing, what are your plans for this trip? Shall we disembark from Gaizhou, or from Sanchahe and Niangniang palace? "

Both Gaizhou and Sanchahe are already familiar with Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhonghe.

At that time, in the first year of Tianqi, it was Mao Wenlong's command that made Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing's post station partner in Sanchahe that started their journey of triumphant song.

Li Yuanqing a smile, "big brother, this matter, how do you consider?"

Chen Zhong chewed a large piece of fat and laughed: "Yuanqing, we have enough food and resources this time. Where are we from? I would like to go straight to Shenyang and Liaoyang now? But if we take the land route, we will suffer some losses

On the sea, the transport capacity of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong has long been beyond doubt, but on land, their cattle are still too few, not to mention their war horses.

In this way, this trip to the hinterland of Liaozhong can only rely on the "11th route" of the generals and soldiers.

But it's good to say that transportation of goods and materials is a big problem.

According to the normal scale of operations in this era, the ratio of combat soldiers to auxiliary soldiers should be at least 1:1, or even 1:2, 1:3.

Only in this way can we ensure sufficient rest time for the soldiers and ensure their combat effectiveness and energy.

But at this time, the officers and men of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong obviously did not have such high treatment.

Li Yuanqing did not have too much anxiety, laughing at the wine glass in his hand, "big brother, I mean, is that the children only take half a month's rations and leave all the baggage in Gaizhou city."

Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing have already had a deep understanding. For a moment, he understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, "Yuanqing, you, you mean, we're going to go deep alone this time and force Hey, hey, hey. Yuanqing, I've thought you would be bold, but I didn't expect that you would be so bold. "

Li Yuanqing, however, smiles and shakes his head and asks his relatives to put the map under the table next to him.

Li Yuanqing stepped on the map here with a smile, and Chen Zhong stepped on the other side knowingly.

"Brother, according to the normal speed, we can approach Haizhou in seven days, and Liaoyang in ten days. But in this case, we will not have enough food and grass. "

Chen Zhong's pupils suddenly widened and said, "Yuanqing, you mean, we, the villages where we take these Tartars..."

Li Yuanqing smiles, but his eyes are hard to say, "since Tartars are on the first day of junior high school, how can we not do it again? Big brother, Haizhou is also an empty city now. If we want to gain something, we must go straight into the heart of Liaozhong! Dare you? "

Chen Zhong frowned tightly.

He is also familiar with Liaozhong's intelligence. At least 80% of the villages mentioned by Li Yuanqing are Han villages.In other words, they were all vested interests under the banner of the post Jin and Han Dynasties.

According to the government's policy, the main way to attract these people is to attract them. However, at this time, Li Yuanqing openly

For a moment, Chen Zhong burst out laughing, "Yuanqing, why don't you dare? You are the branch, I am the leaf. You are the root, I am the branch. You and my brother, live and die together!! Kill him, kill him, and his corpses are everywhere! These dog days, are not good things! What can be hesitated about? As long as we kill these people, who dares to work for Tartars

"Good!"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "elder brother, after this battle, at least we can make the Tartars unable to breathe for ten years!"

Chen Zhong is also in a good mood.

After leading the army for so many years, he certainly understood what Li Yuanqing meant.

Once they broke the foundation of the Han people in central Liaoning, the financial affairs of the later Jin Dynasty would collapse, especially at this time of spring cultivation. Li Yuanqing wanted the old slave's life directly!
