The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

On the ninth day of the lunar month, the fleet successfully arrived at Changsheng island.

Before that, the island had been informed that thousands of people had gathered at the quay.

Although people don't know the details of the harvest that Li Yuanqing and his fleet brought back from Nanyang, it's true that every household has ten catties of pork, two catties of mutton and a bucket of rice!

All of them are cheering and welcoming the return of their general!

Li Yuanqing is also in a good mood.

In the past few days, the "running in" between him and Qi Caifeng has been very smooth, just like silk.

Although some rabbits are suspected of eating grass on the edge of their nests, how can a man care about small things when he is doing big things?

Li Yuanqing is not a saint. When he comes to the fat on his lips, does he have the reason not to eat it?

However, because of many important tasks, the celebration on the wharf side lasted only less than an hour. Li Yuanqing returned to his official hall by carriage.

In the next few days, a large-scale water banquet will be held on the island as usual.

When Yang Lei and his family return to Denglai, they will continue to have new year's gifts distributed to every family.

Back to his most familiar official hall, accompanied by Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu, "comfortably" took a hot bath and ate some food. However, Li Yuanqing did not have much thought and enjoyed warmth. Instead, he came to the official hall and listened to the reports from Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper ma.

In the year of the sixth year of the apocalypse, there was indeed some calm in the war, but in the general situation, especially in the interior of the Ming Dynasty hall, some things were speeding up the circulation.

In the past, Li Yuanqing had only military power, but he was reluctant to have some financial resources. Even if he wanted to participate, it was very difficult for him to have the right to speak, so he could only arrange in advance.

But at this time, with nearly 20 million taels of silver in hand, he has already had abundant capital and earnestly looks forward to the future!

After listening to the report of Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper, Li Yuanqing each threw them a cigar and sipped a sip of tea. He fell into a slow thought.

In the past year, the island has been quiet, and the main force of the later Jin Dynasty has not taken any active provocation, including the Gaizhou line, which is quite stable and the crops are growing well.

The ammunition and materials on the island are also gradually accumulated.

However, there has not been much progress in technology development and research.

However, in terms of Changsheng Island ordnance workshop, Xu Liang and their research and development of bird spears have become more practical.

Now, a qualified bird's blunderbuss from Changsheng island can be fired for ten rounds in a row, and then heat dissipation can be carried out without worrying about blasting the chamber.

However, Li Yuanqing knows that this is only the ultimate in traditional crafts, which is far from the scope of innovation.

Of course, this is mainly due to the fact that the steel smelting technology of Daming is not mature enough. If the strength of the blunderbuss is higher, it can be said that it is ten rounds, or twenty or thirty.

"Brother Shang, housekeeper Ma, you have been working hard these days! But it's approaching the new year's day, and there are a lot of things to do. It's hard for you to rest! "

"Yuanqing, don't worry. Ma and I are ready. For the next business, please give us some directions and key objectives! "

Housekeeper Ma also nodded with a smile.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "I have thought about this matter before. The first thing to bear the brunt is the people's livelihood! Brother Shang and housekeeper Ma, in these days, we should try our best to ensure that every family on the island has enough surplus food for the new year. When Yang Lei comes back, the distribution of fresh meat should also be carried out in a timely manner. "

Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper nodded respectfully.

By this time, they were already very mature politicians.

In state affairs, civil affairs are the first.

Especially at this time, this kind of everywhere appears to be a little messy, do your duty well, that is more important.

"The second point is about the Arsenal and shipyard. This will be the key development direction of Changsheng island in the next 10 years, even 20 years or 30 years! During this trip, I brought back many white craftsmen from Nanyang! In terms of their treatment, you must ensure that they are comprehensive and willing to show their ability to serve us! And... "

………

After chatting with Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper, the time has arrived in the evening, and the sky has been slightly dark.

Qu minqiu personally carried a cup of hot ginseng soup, curled up to Li Yuanqing, but there was something to eat: "Yuanqing, it seems that your trip is very fruitful!"

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood her mind and said with a smile, "minqiu, don't worry. When the new year is over, I'll make it up for you. "

Qu minqiu's pretty face turned red, but he also responded, "after the new year? Yuanqing, are you going out? Well, have you been home for a long time? Isn't your ass hot yet

With a smile, Li Yuanqing held Qu minqiu in his arms and gave her a kiss on her pretty face. "Now, I can't help it! I haven't been to Beijing for more than a year. "

At this time, Zhang yunniang also brought a cup of tea from the outside. Her face was a little frightened and said, "brother, how, how should I go again?"Knowing their thoughts, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "this time, I will take you and minqiu to Beijing. However, Dingbei and a few cubs can't take them with them. "

Qu minqiu also responded, busy way: "Yuanqing, but, what happened in Beijing?"

"Change?"

Li Yuanqing a smile, "accident is not to talk about. However, some human feelings must be well done. Yun Niang, minqiu, these days, you have worked hard. Can the affairs of the island go well? "

Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu looked at each other, and Zhang yunniang said: "brother, now all the affairs on the island are on the right track. There should be no problem."

Li Yuanqing nodded.

Long ago, Li Yuanqing instilled the "professional manager" system into Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu.

After all, if everything should be as good as Zhuge Liang and do everything personally, even Superman can be tired to death!

In Daming, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, it is not easy for you to find a good and competent official, because the net is so big that even the monkey grandson can hardly get rid of it.

However, in terms of Commerce, capitalism has sprouted in the late Ming Dynasty. Even if there are some reasons why it is not as prosperous as the Southern Song Dynasty, it does not take much effort to find some reliable shopkeepers.

Not to mention the name of Li Yuanqing.

"You should prepare as soon as possible! I intend to leave early tomorrow morning

"Ah?"

Zhang yunniang could not help but cry out: "brother, this, so fast?"

Li Yuanqing nodded, "time does not wait for someone! It's freezing. We must arrive at the capital before the New Year

Said, Li Yuanqing's eyes suddenly sharp up!

………

In fact, it is not surprising that Li Yuanqing is so anxious.

Originally, the compromise reached between Li Yuanqing and governor yuan was that Li Yuanqing would not take part in the major military affairs of Liao in the six and seven years of Tianqi.

Limited by the conditions at that time, Li Yuanqing did want to safely shrink in Liao and concentrate on the management of Nanyang affairs.

However, the trip to Nanyang was much smoother than expected. With abundant financial resources, Li Yuanqing had the courage to break with governor yuan!

Even if it is not on the positive side, at least it can make Daming, especially in the Liao area, take less unjust road and spend less unjust silver.

Governor yuan's so-called "peace negotiation" is nothing more than giving money to dog Tartars!

Li Yuanqing can't stand such a thing as taking people's fat and cream from Daming people's hard work to fatten dog day's tartar bag!

Even if we can't stop yuan's wanton behavior, at least, Li Yuanqing can't make him too comfortable!

When it comes time, it's not going to change.

Li Yuanqing must also plan ahead of time on the ship of Xinwang.

After a day's rest on Changsheng Island, Li Yuanqing's fleet was divided into two waves and slowly sailed out of nanxinkou Wharf in the early morning of the next day under the protection of the Spanish frigate.

However, this matter is extremely private. Except Wei Liang, the supervisor, Zhang Baozhu, the fourth wife of the house, as well as Shang Laoliu and Ma housekeeper, other people don't know about it.

Li Yuanqing also wrote a personal letter to Chen Zhong, asking him to come to the capital as soon as possible and meet him.

Along the way, the fleet carried gifts and cash silver to Tianjin. On the other hand, Li Yuanqing led the fleet to Shanhaiguan.

Before going to the capital, it is necessary for him to have a good chat with Mangui. By the way, he will send the dividends of the southern Liaoning commercial bank to manchui.

December day.

It's freezing!

Especially this year, it seems to be colder than usual. There are a lot of floating ice on the sea. If future generations look at it, where is the Liaohai sea? Is it clearly the Arctic Ocean?

However, these icebergs are comparable to the icebergs and floes in the Arctic Ocean. The largest ice floes, which are the size of fat sheep, do not pose a real threat to navigation.

Li Yuanqing took 500 soldiers with him on this trip. He was fully equipped, and there were more than 1000 horses. On the other hand, there are more than a thousand people armed in Tianjin.

To this extent, changes may occur at any time, but Li Yuanqing is not careful!

However, although the general situation is somewhat compact and changeable, Li Yuanqing is quite comfortable with his life on the ship.

On this trip, Li Yuanqing not only brought Zhang yunniang and Qu minqiu, but also 50 female guards headed by Qi Caifeng.

Of course, in such a state at this time, Li Yuanqing was to accompany his two first wives first.

But because of the floating ice on the sea, the sailing of the fleet was a little slower. When Li Yuanqing arrived at Shanhaiguan, it was already the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Some of his relatives had already communicated with manchui, the general of the new Renshan customs. The soldier directly led his family out dozens of miles away, escorting Li Yuanqing and his party all the way to Shanhaiguan.

Shanhaiguan.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was said that it was the first pass in the world, and no one would refute it.

And the position of Shanhaiguan general is also very important.But at this time, because Liaoxi is still standing outside, the throne of Shanhaiguan commander-in-chief seems to be a bit awkward and awkward.

After passing through Xiluo city and Beiluo City, and entering the Guancheng City, people sent people to greet Li Yuanqing's family members. The man GUI took Li Yuanqing's hand and strode to the official hall!

As soon as he sat down, man GUI said, "Yuanqing, what is the situation in Liao? You must have known it, right? I want to kill the donkey on the dog's Day
