The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Shang Laoliu didn't care about the mystery in Li Yuanqing's words, so he ordered fire soldiers to cook.

After lunch, more than 100 members of the team went northward along the coast and passed through Mayang island to reach the scope of Changsheng island.

At this time, under the afterglow of the sunset, in the distance, two big islands, one left and one right, stretch green, the coast is magnificent, and you can't see the end at all.

Shang Laoliu was quite familiar with the terrain here, and explained to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, this big island in the west is Changsheng island. The big island in the East is called Zhongdao, because its reef is still on the west side of Changsheng Island, and the people call it Xizhong island. Further east, there is a big island called Chahe Island, which is not much smaller than these two islands. "

Li Yuanqing nodded and looked far away at Changsheng island.

On the other side, Xu Heizi added: "my Lord, this Changsheng island is named. The rumor is still related to the first emperor. According to the legend of emperor Xu, the boy who led the way to the sea was 500. Xu Fu led all the people to Penglai and visited the immortals, but none of them would give fairy medicine. There is only one immortal: you are all ordinary people. Even if you eat the fairy medicine, you can only prolong your life. How can you live forever? From Penglai to the sea, hundreds of miles north, there is an island, on which there are three treasures of sweet spring, sea spurs and spiny dates. If you eat them, you can get rid of diseases and live forever. "

All of them were attracted by the story of Xu Heizi, and they all stood up their ears and waited for his words.

Shang Laoliu knew that Xu Heizi was highly skilled. Although he also knew the allusion, in order to promote this younger generation, he laughed and said nothing.

Li Yuanqing also smilingly looked at Xu sunspot, motioning him to continue.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu were both encouraged, Xu Heizi said in a hurry: "but Xu Fu was seeking real longevity for the first emperor, so he did not listen to the immortal and continued to search for the immortal medicine. But one of his followers, surnamed Gao, was enchanted. He secretly took ten pairs of boys and girls and went to the island in a boat. After more than a month, they finally found the island. "

Seeing that the crowd was absorbed, he swallowed his saliva, and immediately said, "when these people arrived on the island, they were overjoyed to see that the scenery on the island was the same as what the immortal said. They found a clear spring on the island, gushing out from the mountain stream. After drinking, they were sweet and refreshing. Also see the mountain full of spiny jujube, picked down to eat, sour and sweet, wake up wisdom and benefit the heart. We also saw a large group of swimming objects in the sea, but they were not fish or shrimp, but dark gray, with feet long and flesh all over. Eating it, the meat was delicious and tender. If you eat it for a long time, you will not be attacked by all kinds of diseases. Because it looks like the ginseng of Changbai Mountain, it is named "sea ginseng"

Li Yuanqing smiles but does not speak, signals Xu Heizi to continue.

"After that, they settled down here and lived and multiplied for generations. Many of them lived to be over 100 years old. Later, the outsider was very puzzled about this and asked why. Island people answer, only because of the body in Changsheng island. From then on, the island has been called "Changsheng island."

After that, Mr. Xu sighed and said, "it's a pity that Changsheng island was full of people, but after the rise of JianNu, especially in the second half of the year, JianNu occupied the southern part of Liaoning Province. All the residents of the island fled to Shandong and the capital. Changsheng island was abandoned and there was no fireworks."

"These dog day slaves are nothing. Isn't this a waste of the land left by the gods? " Shunzi couldn't help but spat.

Other people, too, were angry.

Li Yuanqing smile on the face is even more, originally, he still wanted to find individual reasons, but now, Xu Heizi has managed this matter well.

Where the immortal lived, can that be bad?

Later generations said that feudal superstition killed people.

But at this time, it became the best tool for Li Yuanqing to placate the people. After clearing his throat, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "since it's a treasure land left by gods, of course we should go and have a look. Let's go. Tonight, we'll have dinner on Changsheng island. "

After Li Yuanqing spoke, the fleet rushed on and landed on a gentle beach on the south side of Changsheng island to explore the big island.

On the sea, Changsheng island seems not too big or too wide, but it is just a small corner in the south. When people really step on the island, they can feel the grandeur of the island.

They walked almost all night. At dawn, they went from the south to the north. After a short rest and some food, they went to nanxinkou in the southeast.

Nanxinkou is only three or four hundred meters away from the other side of the river. Originally, there was a ferry on the opposite side. However, with the occupation of southern Liaoning by the Jin army and the implementation of the sea ban policy, the coastal areas on this side were basically abandoned, and there was no human population at all.

At this time, people across the island, Changsheng island also had a simple understanding, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "ladies, how do you feel about this island?"

At this time, Shang Laoliu understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and took the lead in saying: "this island is indeed a blessed land in the eyes of the gods. It is indeed a treasure land. It's not only rich in fresh water, but also a lot of cultivated land. If you take us here, it's really a blessing for us. "

People can't help nodding, and the immortals all look at this place. In addition, Xu Heizi also said that many people can live to be 100 years old if they live here. What's worse?At this time, Guan Canghai saw the biggest drawback of Changsheng island. He thought about it for a while, but he finally decided to say, "my Lord, this island is really good, but there is also a biggest defect here. You see, nanxinkou is too close to the other bank. If the sea is frozen in winter, the cavalry of Houjin may be able to rush directly from the sea

Hearing what Guan Canghai said, they all calmed down from excitement.

That's right. What if it's frozen?

All of them talked in low voice, but at the same time they looked at Li Yuanqing. The talent was their backbone.

After thinking for a long time, Li Yuanqing said: "the freezing period is really not easy. However, the Ming navy has always had a tradition of ice drilling. At that time, when it comes to the freezing period, we can make ice manually to separate the island from the coast. JianNu is not good at water war. If they dare to come at that time, we will give them a head-on attack. "

Seeing Li Yuanqing's final decision, they all nodded their heads in succession.

Li Yuanqing said: "it's winter now. If we move to Changsheng island now, we are in a bit of a hurry. Moreover, we are now too small, if the sea is frozen, we will not have enough manpower to drill ice. I think we should set up a stronghold on Changsheng Island first. After the spring, when the weather is warm, we will move to Changsheng island

Everyone nodded in agreement.

After all, the latter Jin Dynasty was barbarian, and they had an instinctive fear of the sea. This policy of maritime prohibition has made Li Yuanqing, including the later Dongjiang army, invincible.

The common people were moved to within 15 miles of the coast. Even if Li Yuanqing landed on Changsheng Island, they would hardly find out if he didn't go to nanxinkou every day.

However, it is about to enter the deep winter at this time, the weather conditions are bad, and the original buildings of residents on the island are basically abandoned, which is not suitable for mass migration.

Originally, the best person to stay on Changsheng island and establish a stronghold was Shang Laoliu.

But Shang Laoliu was Li Yuanqing's housekeeper. He had to do a lot of things by himself, and Li Yuanqing couldn't do without him. Li Yuanqing left Xu Heizi in Changsheng island and set up his stronghold and implemented Li Yuanqing's preliminary plan.

Xu Heizi was also a craftsman. He knew Feng Shui and the pattern of buildings very well. With such a long time of military experience, his military knowledge was also improved. He was a farmer himself, and he was no stranger to farming.

Let the team retreat to the woods on the side of the hill to rest. Li Yuanqing ordered Xu Heizi for another afternoon. After Xu Heizi understood his meaning completely, Li Yuanqing was relieved.

According to Li Yuanqing's plan, Changsheng island will become Li Yuanqing's base camp. After all, Changsheng island has the advantage of advantageous location, which is not possessed by other islands in Liaohai sea.

Moreover, Changsheng island is rich in resources and vast in area. In the future, even if it is self-sufficient and self-sufficient, it will not be a big problem.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing's first task for Xu was to thoroughly investigate the topography of Changsheng island and draw a complete map.

What's more, it is to select suitable areas for living and farming, and set up observation points and watchtowers to observe the movement of the opposite bank at any time.

Thirdly, it is necessary to find a suitable port and build a hidden wharf to facilitate the transportation of materials by Li Yuanqing during this period.

One day and one night's fast March, although the team is young and strong, but they are already very tired.

After a night's rest in Changsheng Island, he ordered Xu Heizi to stay in the middle of the night and left him 50 soldiers and a lot of supplies. At noon the next day, Li Yuanqing left Changsheng island.

On the way back, both officers and soldiers were excited.

This is mainly due to feudal superstition.

Changsheng island is a place where immortals have lived. If people can live to be 100 years old, they will move here later. This is not to say that they will be treated the same as the immortals. How can they not be happy and excited?

However, Li Yuanqing specially told them that they should never disclose this matter to the public before it really takes place, and they can only enjoy it in their hearts.

Back in Hiroshima, life is back on track.

Huang Guoshan and Yang Xiaobo, nearly 50 people of Yanding, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, one and half of them, joined their own teams.

They had no way out, and their families were here again. Although they had no money, they ate well and dressed warmly. So did their families. Naturally, they worked hard for Li Yuanqing and Li Yuanqing.

Time goes by quietly.

At the beginning of December, news came from the eastern line that Mao Wenlong was defeated in Longchuan and had to return to Tieshan.

At the same time, the imperial court promoted Mao Wenlong, who was officially promoted to Deputy General of Guangning, and will continue to stay in the eastern line to fight against Houjin.

Li Yuanqing also knows that this is the imperial court's reward for Mao Wenlong's adherence to Zhenjiang. However, is it worth paying such a brother's life

When Chen Zhong got the news from Mao Wenlong, he was overjoyed and rushed to find Li Yuanqing. "Yuanqing, the general has successfully overcome the danger, which is really great."Li Yuanqing nodded. How can Jin's IQ, even Huang Taiji, be able to calculate more than Mao Wenlong, who was born as a fortune teller? I can only drink his foot wash.

However, Li Yuanqing is also aware that Mao Wenlong should not have the intention of retreating to the sea. He also wants to use the terrain of North Korea to fight back against Zhenjiang with Houjin.

"Brother, I have news from the general. We can't wait here any longer. I think we'd better meet the general as soon as possible
