The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Chen Jisheng nodded, but Li Yuanqing was not too worried about Mao Wenlong.

As the old saying goes, "it's easy to send the king of hell, but it's hard to pester the little devil.".

The difference of realm and identity determines that their vision must be different.

When Chen Jisheng left, about 9 o'clock, Li Yuanqing asked Caizi to book a room in the inn in the backyard of the restaurant, and went directly to Mao Wenlong's official hall.

Mao Wenlong did not have a rest at this time. He was writing hard on his desk. When he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he put down his pen in his hand and gave him a gentle smile. "Yuanqing, why did you come here at this time?"

Li Yuanqing quickly knelt on the ground, "general, your humble duty has been entrusted by the general, and I have come to plead with you."

Mao Wenlong frowned, but soon stretched out, "you get up and talk."

Although he didn't know each other for a long time, Mao Wenlong already knew Li Yuanqing's temperament very well. Although Li Yuanqing was young, he was mature and cautious. He was quite similar to him when he was young. How can such a person possibly do something against the law?

Therefore, Mao Wenlong did not worry too much when he heard that Li Yuanqing had come to plead guilty.

Li Yuanqing, however, did not dare to get up. He was busy describing Mao Wenlong about the night attack on the North Korean salt field.

As for Mao Wenlong, he is hiding, but he falls into the inferior position. It is better to be happy and frank with each other. After all, no one knows more about the living state of his subordinates than Mao himself.

Mao Wenlong frowned at the speech and did not speak for a long time.

Li Yuanqing is like a good baby who has made a mistake. He doesn't dare to make a mistake.

To be frank, Li Yuanqing admired Mao Wenlong himself in addition to admiration.

It is unnecessary for Chen Jisheng to say that even Zhang pan, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing have already gained enough dividends from the surprise attack on Zhenjiang.

But Mao Wenlong himself is still alone.

In his capacity, if only the concubine's room, the gentry and landlords in Zhenjiang city could not wait to send their daughters here?

But Mao Wenlong did not do so. All his energy was concentrated on the official business of Zhenjiang.

This is a real man with thousands of gullies. Just like his lifelong ideal - "no waiting, never swearing.".

For a long time, Mao Wenlong vomited out a turbid breath, and his eyes softened, "Yuanqing, it's hard for you."

Li Yuanqing was warm in his heart, and his eyes were red. "General, the humble position has been done. If there is any responsibility, the humble position is willing to bear it without any complaint."

Mao Wenlong shook his head. "Yuanqing, you don't have to worry about this. Without evidence, the North Koreans dare not mess around. Get up. "

Li Yuanqing dared to stand up and stand by Mao Wenlong carefully.

Mao Wenlong said: "I'm really worried about putting you in North Korea. You're young, and you can't worry about a lot of things. Tell me what you think. "

Looking at Mao Wenlong's bright eyes, Li Yuanqing knew that Mao Wenlong had seen through his mind and said, "general, you have a keen eye. Your humble position admits that your humble position really has its own selfishness. No matter Yizhou, Longchuan or Tieshan are all located in the rear area. They can't fight with Tartars head-on. They don't want to waste time in such places. General, I want to follow you and Tartars

Looking at Li Yuanqing's words, Mao Wenlong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you seldom have such a direct time. But that's what young people should do. Don't always worry about other people's thoughts. We should be brave and brave. Put you in North Korea, after thinking about it, you are a bit anxious. What do you think when you are in North Korea these days? "

In fact, the task that Mao Wenlong assigned to Li Yuanqing is just like that our army will establish a base behind the enemy in the rear of the Japanese army. There are no qualitative data requirements for this task. The most basic task is to gather the population, frighten the people, and pave the way for the main force to enter the country in the future. There are not many requirements for killing the enemy.

Frankly speaking, if Li Yuanqing does his best, it will not be bad.

After all, although there is not much food, the soldiers and the people work together, dig some wild vegetables, hunt down wild animals, and steal some food. Everyone eats less and can cope with it.

But at this time, it is different from the environment of our army in later generations.

This is the age of pure cold weapons. The deterrent power of the cavalry in the Late Jin Dynasty is beyond the limit. Although the little devils have implemented the three light policy on China and created no man's land, they have entered the modern civilization at that time. They have no human nature any more, and they will never dare to slaughter the city openly. They must take care of the international influence.

At this time, the wild boar skin of Houjin was still a completely barbaric slave and tribal state. Every time a city was captured, it was bound to be burned, killed and looted, and almost every city must be slaughtered. After Sarhu, Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan, Shenyang and Liaoyang did not escape this fate.

Even if Li Yuanqing had gathered 100000 or even hundreds of thousands of people, it would still have no effect in front of Houjin Tieqi.

This is like a group of lambs without claws, which can only be slaughtered by the eight flag cavalry.Therefore, Li Yuanqing put all his energy into the more than 1000 soldiers under his command. Only when they grow up is the guarantee of Li Yuanqing's safety.

The sages said, "if you are poor, you will be good for yourself; if you reach a goal, you will benefit the world."

If you can't save yourself, how can you save people?

At this time, in the face of Mao Wenlong's broad question, Li Yuanqing thought for a long time, and then said: "general, there are many feelings of humble duty. Whether Korea or Zhenjiang, in fact, are cold and bitter places. Although our soldiers and soldiers are brave and the people's hearts are attached, it is really too hard to fight the fierce eight flag cavalry in such a small area. General, according to our humble position, we must obtain the support of the imperial court. Only when the court gives more support to our army, can the children under our command have stronger combat power and have more choices in the face of crisis. "

Mao Wenlong sighed, "I don't know about it. But Yuanqing, you should know that the court also has its own difficulties. "

Li Yuanqing nodded his head and said, "general, JianNu on the north line has been defeated by our army. In a short time, there should not be too much war on the northern line. It is just that the Tong family on the western line are not dead hearted, but they have been disabled by our army. In a short period of time, they should not gather too much energy. General, I still want to stay in Tieshan for a while. Now it's autumn and the sea fish is just plump. I want to kill more fish and marinate them into salted fish for our army's needs. You can train in your spare time. "

Mao Wenlong nodded, "Yuanqing, it's good that you have this idea. You can do this. However, in a short period of time, I can't take care of you. "

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily. "General, we are now the most difficult stage. I believe that the court will give us support after this period of time."

……

After leaving Mao Wenlong's official hall, Li Yuanqing vomited a long breath of turbid gas.

Mao Wenlong pinned his hope on the imperial court, but if the big men in the court had finished their verbal battle and really started to implement it, I'm afraid the day lily would be cold.

The situation in Zhenjiang at this time can only be solved by Zhenjiang itself.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong has always been active in military affairs, temporarily stabilizing the overall situation, and the local gentry in Zhenjiang have also been appeased. If the life is a little tight, they can still maintain their hard work.

However, in such a state, if the imperial court wants to let Mao Wenlong expand the results of the war, it will be a fool's dream. If he takes a wrong step, he may lose even the current situation.

Li Yuanqing believes that with Mao Wenlong's wisdom, he can't fail to see this. As long as he can maintain this year, when the spring of the next year comes, no matter what the court will do.

At present, the maowenlong division of the Guangning army in Zhenjiang is in this state.

For the general trend, Li Yuanqing is powerless to provide some salted fish for Mao Wenlong, which is the limit he can do now.

However, for Li Yuanqing's Ministry, Li Yuanqing has absolute control. Only when there is a country can there be a family, and only when there is a family can there be a state. This dialectical problem is obviously more crucial to Li Yuanqing at this time.

If there is hope, there will be seeds.

……

Although Caizi reserved a room in the restaurant, Li Yuanqing was not interested today. He carried her on the horse and returned to the camp overnight.

Back at the camp, the sky is already bright and Caizi is a little tired. Li Yuanqing asks her to have a rest first, while he calls Wang Hai to speed up the fishing rhythm.

In the past, Wang Hai used more than 100 people from his headquarters to participate in fishing. Now, Li Yuanqing directly ordered Wang Hai to call in 400 people. All boats participated in the fishing. Three shifts and two shifts were off in rotation. All members participated in the fishing all day long.

Salted fish is very simple, almost no technical content, just cut the fish belly, wash, and then marinate with salt.

If there are conditions, you can also dry the salted fish for a period of time, and the taste will be better and the taste of salt will be more sufficient.

Wang Hai was ordered to do it, and Li Yuanqing personally dispatched and directed it. After all, with Wang Hai's influence, it is difficult to achieve the highest efficiency.

The effect of full mobilization is extraordinary. One day later, the harvest is very gratifying, and there are about 5 or 6 tons of fresh fish.

Wang Hai explained to Li Yuanqing that according to the current fish market, they can still have at least 10 days. With such a harvest, Li Yuanqing can not help being overjoyed.

In this way, as long as we can keep it for ten days, there will be 5 to 60 tons of salted fish, enough for the 10000 people under Mao Wenlong to eat for several years.

In terms of salt, Li Yuanqing has already found a good way to deal with salt. The salt farm where Miao Yizhen was copied last time has been restored to operation. In addition, it is not like a high-quality salted fish of later generations at this time. It is not so exquisite and good salt. As long as it has taste, can eat and can fill the stomach, it is enough.

With Li Yuanqing's strong attitude, all the work soon started to work. The next day, Shang Laoliu also came back from Tieshan. With him, there was the cart of the grain transportation team.

In Li Yuanqing's big account, Shang Laoliu was extremely upset and said, "Yuanqing, these barbarians on dog days are too mean. The price they give us is 20% higher than the market price. Moreover, it is all about the grain stored in last year. I really want to kill them with a knife. "Li Yuanqing smiles, but he is not angry. "Brother Shang, this is human nature. These North Koreans are not rich at all. If they catch such a big head as us, they will have to fight hard? It doesn't matter. I'll let them earn the money. "

Shang Laoliu also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and couldn't help laughing, "let them earn a little, sooner or later, we'll take back the principal with interest."

……

On September 17 of the first year of Tianqi of the Ming Dynasty, the weather was good. Li Yuanqing's crazy fishing plan had been in progress for three or four days, and everything was very smooth.

In the morning, having just eaten the fish soup made by Caizi, Li Yuanqing was about to go to the boat to have a look, but he saw several speedboats coming rapidly from the north.

It turned out to be Chen Zhong.

Li Yuanqing rushed to meet him.

They exchanged greetings, and Chen Zhong told Li Yuanqing two news.

One is that the remaining evils of the Tong family are on Shicheng Island, which is the island where Mao Chenglu and Mao Chenglu fought fiercely before. The Tong family is trying to rebel against the residents of the island. Chen Zhong, at the command of Mao Wenlong, goes to exterminate it.

On the other hand, Li Yuanqing was more concerned than this news.
