The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it's mid April.

The weather has gradually begun to warm, under the feet of the original frozen solid ground, the freezing began to melt, everywhere appears some muddy.

But the faint green grass seedlings, tender shoots of branches and leaves, have begun to show their heads.

The real spring is coming.

After more than ten days of busy work, Li Yuanqing and the Ming army in the dynasty ~ fresh finishing work, basically also deal with almost.

With Li Yuanqing's food and rates in place, Li Xie also officially made the matter of Jeju Island public.

The incident caused great fluctuation in Korea and Singapore, but the scale of 3 million taels of silver on the surface was not small.

Although Li Xie certainly could not get the silver, it was not too difficult to subdue the officials in the court.

In addition, with Li Jue and Jin Zidian's "waving flags and shouting" when he returns to Chaoxian, the situation is basically stable.

In particular, Jin Zidian wrote a memorials with high literary grace. He sold Li Xie to Jeju Island and exchanged it for "three million taels of silver". It was just the most holy emperor and the most correct decision made in the past thousand years.

Jizhou Island, a desolate island where birds are willing to poop, is regarded as worthless. The fact that Wang Shang was able to sell the island to the Ming army was comparable to the great Yu's contribution to flood control. In the dynasty, there were few leaders of Wang Shang Li Xie. After all, he went to a new glory far beyond the ancients.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately ignited the public opinion of the whole dynasty.

Some people just want to cut Jin Zidian, a traitor, alive and share his meat.

However, most of these people are poor young scholars. Although they have the heart to serve the country, it is a pity that the country can hardly provide them with access to the country

And Jin Zidian was the core of the western people's party, which was prosperous in the Dynasty and fresh at that time. With the strong support of Li Yuanqing, how could these scholars be his opponents?

As the saying goes, "if a lie is told a hundred times, it may become truth."

Soon, under the influence of some deliberate wind direction, the voice of praising Li Chu's merits and virtues had already suppressed the dissatisfaction, and the situation in Korea and Singapore gradually began to return to normal.

However, when Li Yuanqing had to say.

If you are cheap, you will be invincible!

Although Jin Zidian is an immature wolf with white eyes, and his skin is thicker than the city wall, he is better than lubricating oil in some aspects

The premise, of course, is that the dog chain around his neck must be fastened.

With the trend of Jizhou island and jinzidian, the transaction of the young women's family members seems to be more low-key.

In the western suburb of Seoul, Li Xie divided into three batches and delivered to Li Yuanqing 50, 000 Chaoxian women aged 10 to 30.

After a simple physical examination and bathing, these young women were "shipped" to Changsheng island in batches.

Li Yuanqing should also face up to Li Xi's promise that the Ming army would withdraw from Korea and fresh in five days.

This also let Li Xie long breath! Finally, I sent Li Yuanqing away

It is worth mentioning that Meng Qingzhu's selection of the female escort of the apprentice of Chao ~ Xian went very smoothly. They helped a lot in the process of the physical examination.

In order to honor Meng Qingzhu's achievements and, incidentally, to bring closer the relationship between them, Li Yuanqing was promoted to vice commander in chief of female guards of Changsheng camp, which was the highest military position of female guards in Changsheng camp in nominal terms.

Meng Qingzhu was very satisfied with this and wrote a letter to Li Yuanqing to express his thanks.

Li Yuanqing was so flattered that he collected Meng Qingzhu's personal letter carefully

But the news is not all good news.

On April 19, just as Li Yuanqing arrived at the seaside fleet and was about to leave Chaoxian the next day, Mao Wenlong, who was far away in Anzhou, sent a letter to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing on the boat, comfortable bedroom, looking at this letter was soon burned to ashes, Li Yuanqing eyebrows, tightly wrinkled.

The last thing he wanted to see happened.

This time, although the Ming army won a great victory in Korea, the court was very dissatisfied with what Li Yuanqing had done in Korea.

It is even said that the little emperor of the Apocalypse was furious in the middle of the night. He smashed a tea cup on Duke Wei's forehead and opened a three inch long incision on his forehead.

After a while, there was a report from relatives outside: "general, marshal Chen is coming."

Li Yuanqing a little tired pinched the kneading hall, "please come in Chen Shuai!"

"Yes

For a moment, Chen Zhong walked into the room laughing and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, Jin Zidian, this dog scum just wanted to give me some women, but I didn't want him. This dog is a jerk. He wants to get on his face when he steps on his nose. However, Yuanqing, I heard one thing... "With that, Chen Zhong was busy whispering a few words in Li Yuanqing's ear.

Li Yuanqing could not help laughing when he heard the speech: "brother, this is a good thing. You tell Park lie to send his two sisters to Changsheng island to study. It's just that there's a shortage of female guards. "

Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing. At the same time, he also understood what Li Yuanqing meant: "Yuanqing, that feeling is also good. Anyway, they are still young, so we should raise them first. "

Looking at Chen Zhong's happy appearance, Li Yuanqing's mood also relaxed a lot.

Even if the emperor was angry again, there was Duke Wei in front of him.

Because he planted it himself, he naturally had to pick up the fruit.

Unless, Duke Wei expert blade Huang Liji, admit this mistake to the little emperor. Only between him and Li Yuanqing can there be room for relaxation.

However, this is basically unrealistic.

Even though he was depressed, he had to swallow his teeth into his stomach.

With a smile, he threw Chen Zhong a cigar and lit one himself. Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "elder brother, don't mention these naughty things. At this time, it's spring ploughing season. We don't pay attention to other things. But spring ploughing is a top priority! In particular, the planting of sweet potato this year should not be neglected at all! "

People depend on food.

For the farming society of Daming, agriculture is the lifeline of everything.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing's fleet was extremely developed, it would be naive to solve the problem of food rations for a population of more than 300000 but close to 400000 under his administration through trade.

The main reason is that the productivity of agriculture is generally low. Even if you have money, it is difficult to find a place to buy food.

In Daming's Huguang and Jiangnan areas, grain is produced.

However, at this time, there were few people planting grain in the south of the Yangtze River. Most of the people began to grow mulberry and tea as cash crops.

Huguang became the last large-scale grain producing area in Daming.

However, the grain of Huguang was controlled by the local gentry. It was too far away from Liao to go by sea. If you want to transport it to Changsheng island and southern Liaoning, the cost is very high. If you don't say it, it's easy to offend people.

Because at this time, the big grain merchants in Daming were even more profiteering than the later generations

At this time, Li Yuanqing already had the meaning of "the target of public criticism". Naturally, he would not provoke such affairs.

According to the season of Liao Dynasty, wheat and corn are usually planted in July and August, August and September. Moreover, they must be planted in good fields and good fields.

However, there is not so much emphasis on sweet potato. It can be stored in good or weak land, and it is not so expensive. It is the staple food of the people in Liaoning Province. If it is slightly mixed with wheat and corn to grind flour, it is more delicious than white flour.

Of course, Chen Zhong understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and nodded: "Yuanqing, you can rest assured! When I go back, I will watch the spring ploughing in Hiroshima. But Changsheng island and the southern part of Liaoning Province, as well as these female dependents, you have to pay more attention. "

By this time, although Chen Zhong's Guanglu Island division was still nominally independent from the Changsheng camp, it was actually fully compatible with the Changsheng camp.

All the output and income of Chen Zhong and Guanglu island need to follow the procedure of Li Yuanqing's Changsheng island.

Li Yuanqing a smile: "brother, brothers together, its profit cut gold! As for the imperial court, we can 't afford to ignore it. But in the south of Liaoning, we have to clean up the quickness! "

Chen Zhong laughed: "don't worry, Yuanqing! We are getting stronger and stronger now

Chen Zhong said, this just remembered him to look for Li Yuanqing's important business, busy way: "by the way, Yuanqing, Lao Zhang and Liangzi there, how are you going to arrange?"

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of the cigarette butt, slowly spit out a thick fog, and said with a smile: "elder brother, let zhangpan go to hongzuibao, and let Chen liangce go to the fort. Two of them, one of them, I'll give 300 cows half a year's food and pay, and let them do the rest by themselves! "

Both Guifu fort and hongzuibao are big fortresses on the east coast of southern Liaoning. Although abandoned for many years, their terrain and land are very good.

Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong controlled the whole southern Liaoning at this time, the area of southern Liaoning was too vast.

Due to the shortage of manpower in the two departments, Guifu fort, including Hongzui fort, Xiaojia Island fort and Huanggu Island fort in the east line, are basically idle.

Zhang pan and Chen liangce can do this coolie.

Chen Zhong immediately understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, if Lao Zhang and Liangzi knew about it, they would be very happy! They have been looking forward to this day for many years

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanqing's fleet set out first and returned to southern Liaoning.

Chen Zhong also has to deal with some follow-up affairs here. However, this guy will return to the south of Liaoning Province as soon as possible in two or three days.

The next meeting of the two departments, including the military academy and drill, was scheduled for early July.The blue sea rippled with blue waves.

The huge fleet is like a huge dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, like a huge monster floating on the sea.

One side of the red red red eagle flag, the other side of the sun and moon rolling waves flag, fluttering in the wind.

At this time, although the sea breeze is still a little cold, but along the surrounding coast, the ice and snow have melted in 7788, the warm sun hanging in the sky, soft sunshine, dispelling a lot of cold, shining on people, warm.

In the comfortable cabin of a large ship in the middle of the fleet, Meng Qingzhu was writing and drawing on the thick blackboard with chalk, explaining some basic knowledge of Western medicine to 100 young Korean girls sitting in the cabin.

Because of the noble status of Meng Qingzhu and the support of Li Yuanqing, her conditions are naturally the best.

All of the 100 young girls present are 13-4 and 14-5-year-old. None of them is over age. Moreover, most of them are very beautiful.

Human beings, in fact, have always looked at appearance.

How could Meng Qingzhu, a super beauty like Meng Qingzhu, be too "ugly" for her students?

Although Jin Meishan thinks that she is ugly, she is not ugly. She is only a little black. In addition, she is too thin due to malnutrition. It shows that she is like a chicken. There is not much beauty of a girl of her age.

However, Meng Qingzhu is from Nanyang, where he meets many native people. He is naturally aware of the potential of Jin Meishan.

Otherwise, according to Meng Qingzhu's nobility, how could he be too close to her?

At this time, Jin Meishan did not dare to neglect Meng Qingzhu's teaching in person. He cocked up his ears and gathered his spirit for fear that he might miss every word Meng Qingzhu said.

Other Chao ~ fresh girls, almost all the same.

They are all children of poor families. Naturally, they will not miss this opportunity to "ascend to heaven".

It is said that if they succeed in their studies, they have a great chance to marry those officers of the Ming army.

Meng Qingzhu is also very satisfied with the attitude of these little girls.

In particular, the chalk and blackboard invented by Li Yuanqing make her use very convenient. In addition, her sense of Li Yuanqing is much better.

At this time, there was an untimely voice outside the door: "is Miss Meng there? I'm Yang Lei, Li Shuai's personal soldier. I'd like to see Miss Meng if I have something to do. "
