The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

In the evening, the rain still did not stop, pattering, the world is hazy, the temperature has to drop at least seven or eight degrees.

Accordingly, in Haizhou City, the consumption rate of firewood or grain and grass has increased a lot.

Li Yuanqing has also been thinking carefully about how to break the situation in Haizhou.

If we talk about guarding the city, Li Yuanqing has enough confidence and assurance to make Haizhou city a solid business.

But Haizhou is an inland city, unable to get supplies from the sea. As time goes on, the problem of insufficient food and grass has also been highlighted.

Li Yuanqing is not a cannibal like Zu dashou. He has no interest in cannibalism.

Not to mention, the city is full of Han people.

Even eating Tartars makes Li Yuanqing feel sick.

Who knows they only take a bath once in hundreds of years

If there are only two soldiers, even if they break through the encirclement by force, even if it is very difficult, as long as they are fully prepared, the old slaves and the main force of the later Jin Dynasty will not have many ways to do any real harm to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.

However, there were more than 30000 Han slaves and female dependents in the city, which was like a drag bottle, which bound Li Yuanqing.

In this era, even later generations, human resources are the most valuable resources.

If there are people, there will be labor force and wealth creation.

On the contrary, if there is no one, even if you can dominate the earth? But what's the energy?

Not to mention, these are all Han people, and it's hard for Li Yuanqing to leave them alone.

In this way, it is obviously unwise to break through. Until the last moment, there is no choice. Li Yuanqing will never choose this most inferior strategy.

In this way, only enterprising!

Under the threat of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty, he went to the surrounding villages to collect food and supplies.

But before this, we must beat these Tartars with pain and fear, so that they dare not act rashly or fight with the Ming army.

On the head of the city.

Li Yuanqing is preparing to have dinner with the generals and soldiers and go to several places in the city for inspection. At this time, Hong Qiang's familiar figure appears again under the city.

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, it seems that the old slave can't sit still. He doesn't want to fight with us any more. "

Li Yuanqing also said with a smile, "it's not a good thing to say. Let's see what he's offering first. "

After a while, Hong Qiang was pulled to the head of the city again, and Li Yuanqing did not waste as much as he did last time. He held a simple banquet in the shack not far from the inner wall to entertain Hong Qiang.

After exchanging greetings and eating some food and wine, Hong Qiang carefully took out a tight picture wrapped in oilcloth from his arms and placed it in front of Li Yuanqing.

"Look, this is your favorite Hong Qiang carefully looks at Li Yuanqing's face.

Li Yuanqing smiles: "brother Qiang, which gate is this selling? Do you want to see the poor? "

"Eh?"

Hong Qiang was startled and said, "Yuanqing, how dare I dare? This is... "

"Brother Li Yuanqing opened the scroll and said," I believe you will smile. "

“……”

Hong Qiang was speechless for a moment, but after a moment, he responded and said, "Yuanqing, this is a portrait of Dahan's beloved daughter, little gege Cong GuLun. Sweat has always been around as a treasure. Take a look

Li Yuanqing was also attracted by the picture on the scroll and looked at it carefully.

Portraits are traditional brush paintings.

It can be seen that the craftsmanship of the portrait is quite superb, and the lines are extremely exquisite. With a few strokes, the charm of the girl on the portrait is vividly outlined, especially a pair of eyes.

Although it can't be more accurate than western oil painting, it has a traditional Chinese figure painting, that kind of elegant temperament.

This is a beautiful woman.

And a beautiful woman of noble birth.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing pushed the scroll aside with a smile, looked at Hong Qiang and said, "brother Qiang, what do you mean by an old slave?"

Hong Qiang said with a smile: "Yuanqing, Dahan has decided to confer Xiaoge Princess Heshuo. As long as you can submit to Dajin, Dahan will finish your marriage with Xiaoge in the shortest time. Haizhou city and Gaizhou city are Xiaoge's dowry. Of course, Yuanqing, xiaogege is of noble birth, and your original mate will naturally quit. "

"Ha ha! Ha ha ha

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing. He was so laughing that he could even shed tears.

Hong Qiang was speechless. "Yuanqing, this is..."

Li Yuanqing's face was suddenly solemn. He looked at Hong Qiang coldly and said, "brother Qiang, you must have heard that we Han people have an old saying that the wife of the chaff doesn't go to the hall. Although Li Yuanqing is not a gentleman, I still know the loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, propriety, integrity and shame. Old slave's daughter? Ha ha

Li Yuanqing suddenly laughed, "don't say you are a wife, even if you are a concubine or a servant girl. I will not think about it. I want to, will naturally go to Shenyang City to pick up! ""Eh? This, this... "

Hong Qiang wanwan did not expect that Li Yuanqing would refuse so simply.

Thinking of the old slave's ardent instructions to him before he left, the huge profits he had made, and the consequences of his failure, the cold sweat on Hong Qiang's scalp immediately seeped out.

"Yuanqing, this, this, if, if you can't be a wife. It's OK to be a wife. As long as you are willing to submit to Dajin... "

What else did Hong Qiang want to say, but Li Yuanqing waved his hand with a smile, "brother Qiang, my military affairs are still very busy today. I won't stay with you any more. Help yourself

With that, Li Yuanqing strode out of the shack, leaving Hong Qiang stunned.

After hesitating for a long time, Hong Qiang recovered.

You have to face life and death.

He had to leave Haizhou city in the rain and return to report.

On the other side of the gate tower, Chen Zhong looked at Hong Qiang's back with a smile and said, "Yuanqing, the old slave is really arrogant! How did he expect us to surrender to him? Is this just a woman? "

Li Yuanqing's heart is also a little funny, old slave should not be old muddle headed?

But Li Yuanqing also knew that the old slave would never shoot at a target. This is a man who is old and good.

"Big brother, maybe it's just an old slave's strategy to slow down. When the rain stops, we can take the initiative. Find an old slave. If you don't hurt the old dog, he doesn't know how high the sky is and how thick the ground is

Chen Zhong said with a smile: "Yuanqing, in fact, conggulun has long been famous. If you can marry her as a concubine, it will be a beautiful thing."

Li Yuanqing smiles and shakes his head. "Big brother, we are in a lot of trouble now. Do you want to leave a handle on those big men in Beijing? "

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, "this is also true. What a pity! It's a pity that such a beautiful woman! How can you be a thief

Hearing Chen Zhong's fable about Yang Guang, Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "brother, one day, if we capture Shenyang City. I'll give you this congulon. "

Chen Zhong was busy smiling and shaking his head: "Yuanqing, this conggulun is already your woman. How can I, who is my brother, rob me from my brother? I don't want her. I want the old slave's other daughters and wives

Two people look at each other, can not help but laugh.

At the gate of the city, they exchanged views on the defense of tomorrow.

Li Yuanqing was about to visit the south gate when Hong Qiang came back in a hurry, shouting to see Li Yuanqing in the city.

Chen Zhong frowned and said, "Yuanqing, this man is very unstable. It's a problem! Or will it be over? "

Li Yuanqing a smile, "he is just a small man running errands. There's no need to do things too well. No one dares to talk

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and nodded with a smile, "yes. They are all our brothers. Who dares to chew his tongue? Put him up first and see what he's going to do

This time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong met Hong Qiang together.

Hong Qiang also knew that things were not so good, so he had to brave his head and say what he wanted.

"Yuanqing, Chen Shuai, I just went back, and Khan gave me new instructions. As long as you are willing to withdraw, let Haizhou city out. Dahan will marry Xiaoge to Yuanqing. As long as you can agree to this condition, the army of Daikin will withdraw 20 Li tomorrow and will never renege. "

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong take a look at each other. Chen Zhong looks at Hong Qiang coldly and says, "brother Qiang, can the old slave be so kind?"

Some Hong Qiang did not dare to face Chen Zhong's authority, and his legs and stomach trembled. "Chen Shuai, small, small is just a messenger. I don't know the details. "

Li Yuanqing light smile, "strong elder brother, old slave still have other words?"

Hong Qiang said, "Yuanqing, the meaning of the Great Khan, is in the middle of summer. It's meaningless for both sides to fight like this again. Daikin can't attack Haizhou City, but you can't defeat Daikin's main force. It would be better for both sides to step back. If you have something to do, you can sit down and discuss it. "

Chen Zhong couldn't help sneering: "discuss? What can I discuss with the old dog? You go back and tell the old slave that if he marries conggulun, the princess of Heshuo, to Yuanqing as his concubine, I will leave him a whole body when I attack Shenyang City! Otherwise, Aixin Jueluo's family will not leave any chickens or dogs, and I will send them all to the West! "

"Eh? This... "

Hong Qiang is speechless, but how dare to refute Chen Zhong? Busy looking for help to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing said with a faint smile: "brother Qiang. Chen Shuai and I need to think about it carefully. You go down and have a rest, and I'll let you know as soon as I hear. "

If Hong Qiang is granted amnesty, he hastens to leave.

Chen Zhong said, "Yuanqing, what do you mean? Is this a sign of weakness to us? "

Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out a long breath, "things are changeable, that is, demons! The old slave would never have been so kind. He's back 20 miles, and he's good for birds? One charge from the cavalry is enough. Does this old dog want to pull us out and defeat us in the field? "Chen Zhong nodded, "maybe. And it's very likely. Yuanqing, we are not prepared enough! In this kind of inland war, our disadvantage is still too obvious. "

Li Yuanqing also slowly nodded, "there are disadvantages, but also inevitable. But sooner or later, we have to go out of this step, in the front, against the main force of Houjin. Big brother, we must take the initiative in the current situation of Haizhou! "

"Well, let's promise the old slave first? Steady him? "

"Why didn't he try to stabilize us first?"

Li Yuanqing said, and suddenly sneered, "I don't want to marry conggulun to me? Then, let him take the dowry of 100000 cattle and sheep first

Chen Zhong was stunned. He understood Li Yuanqing's meaning for a moment. He couldn't help laughing: "wonderful, wonderful! Qingyuan! Keep them steady until the rain stops. Let's fight them hard
