The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

The reason why the Shang brothers came to find Li Yuanqing at the shaozihekou was that, on the one hand, they wanted to be familiar with Li Yuanqing and maintain a bilateral relationship.

On the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of Li Yuanqing's expedition, to follow Li Yuanqing's back, to ask for some lottery money and drink some soup.

After all.

Not long after the two brothers were enfeoffed to deer island, they still did not have a firm foothold. They also urgently needed a victory to consolidate their position and make Mao Wenlong feel at ease.

For this, Li Yuanqing is naturally aware.

To a large extent, if conditions permit, Li Yuanqing would not mind mentioning these two "little brothers" to help them stand firm.

Huahua sedan chair people carry people, people collect firewood flame high.

In particular, shangkexi's reputation in history is by no means built.

Li Yuanqing also wants to see what kind of ability this front-line backbone figure of Dongjiang group has.

In fact, the inherent history has changed a lot since Li Yuanqing appeared.

The most obvious point is Mao Wenlong's Dandelion strategy.

On the normal track of history, Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang's strength declined. Facing the powerful army of the Late Jin Dynasty, Mao Wenlong had no positive resistance. Mao Wenlong had to pursue the "Dandelion" strategy and enfeoffment a large number of Dongjiang officers to various places, so that they could take root and sprout on their own.

On the one hand, officers from all over the country should create space to stir up the overall defense situation of the whole post Jin army and win breathing time for the main force.

On the other hand, the two sides form complementary advantages. The headquarters feed back the branches, and the branches feed back the headquarters.

With the most primitive, but also the most sensible way, the main force of the later Jin Dynasty was entangled in the eastern line.

But at this time, because of the rise of Li Yuanqing and southern Liaoning, the situation has changed greatly.

With the involvement of Li Yuanqing and southern Liaoning, the pressure on Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang has been greatly reduced. They can carry out various infrastructure construction calmly, expand the intelligence network secretly, and constantly promote and promote the development of equipment and weapons of the headquarters.

At this time, the main force of Dongjiang headquarters, even in the face of the main force of the later Jin army, will never fall behind too much. It can completely fight with the main force of the latter Jin Dynasty.

In this way, it is obviously not as good as twisting the rope into a single force.

This has also changed Mao Wenlong's "Dandelion" strategy.

However, things are constantly developing. At this time, the limitations of the small area and poor materials of PiDao are revealed.

It is not surprising that Mao Wenlong was able to change his strategy, especially when Dongjiang headquarters gathered officials and there were serious shortage of strategic resources. In addition, the examples of Zhang pan and Chen liangce were put here.

For Mao Wenlong's "Dandelion" strategy, Li Yuanqing praised and supported it.

There is an old saying in China: "success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He.".

There is a saying translated by later generations, that is, "eggs should never be put in one basket.".

The enfeoffment of Dongjiang, on the one hand, can expand the influence of Dongjiang headquarters and root deep in the Liaohai sea. On the other hand, the strategic depth of the entire eastern line will be greatly improved. Even if the main force of the Jin army raids PiDao, it will no longer be "one pot in a pot.".

However, the whole structure of the headquarters of Dongjiang is still the old pattern of the Ming army.

This is also in history, when Mao Wenlong died, the whole Dongjiang river suddenly fell apart. No matter Chen Jisheng or Huanglong, it was impossible to support the whole Dongjiang.

But at this time, this is an excellent opportunity for Li Yuanqing

…………

In the morning of the next day, Li Yuanqing held an enlarged meeting of officers at or above the general level in his temporary large account by the sea.

Shang Kexi and Shang Keyi, as well as more than a dozen officers including Xu Erxian and ban Zhifu, who were their confidants, attended the meeting as nonvoting delegates.

At this time, the Shang brothers also fully understood that Li Yuanqing's raid was not a large-scale positive military action, but a graduation exercise of military academy generals

But even so, Li Yuanqing and his generals can have such a harvest This... It's just amazing.

Inside the tent, Li Yuanqing sits on the main seat and his tiger leather throne.

At the same time, Li Yuanqing's personal guards also followed him, and Li Yuanqing was able to restore his original dependence and etiquette system.

Chen Zhong is also a tiger skin throne, living to the left of Li Yuanqing. The same is true of his guard and etiquette.

Yang miaocai is a little bit worse here, just deer skin seat.

However, after all, he was a civil minister and a Beijing official. In terms of etiquette, he was superior to a large number of generals. He was on the right of Chen Zhong.

Next, there are Duan Xiliang, Kong Youde, Chen Changyou, Ying Meng, Zhang Lianfu, Lu Jinshan, as well as Shang Ke Yi and Shang Ke Yi.

At this time, standing in the perspective of Li Yuanqing and looking down on the past, it is simply a gathering of stars and bright stars!In addition to the absence of Geng brothers who are still working in Dongjiang headquarters at this time, it is no exaggeration to say that at this time, all of you here, at least, will control Daming and Huaxia for the next 50 years!!

But at this time, each of them looked at Li Yuanqing, who was on the throne of tiger skin, with admiration and respect.

Li Yuanqing's mood is also very happy.

There are so many good guys in front of me and so many good guys serving under my command. Why worry about the big things? Why worry about the invincibility of the Tartars?

"Brothers, the present composition of our army, the military strength and the situation of food and materials are all in your mind. Do you have any good thoughts on the specific actions of our army in the next step? Let's have a discussion together. Don't be nervous or restrained. "

In the last few words, Li Yuanqing looked with a smile at the Shang brothers and their officers in deer island.

Shang Kexi and Shang Keyi, as well as a group of deer island officers, immediately felt their face brightened.

In this land of China, we always pay attention to "ranking according to seniority".

To some extent, seniority is even more important than official positions.

In the past, they could only kowtow back and forth as "display" in the military discussion at the level of double commander in chief and civilian supervision of the army, with their "seniority" and status.

Stop talking. I'm afraid I dare not even fart.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing directly pointed out their right to speak and gave them the right to speak. How could they not be excited?

On the other side, Chen Zhong understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and said with a smile: "brothers, don't be nervous. If you have any ideas, you can speak them out. Let's discuss them together. Yuanji, you are a local snake. If you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, it is up to you to speak first. "

Fortunately, I was a little nervous at the moment.

Although he was in his late twenties and almost thirty, he did not really speak at a meeting of more than 100 high-ranking officers.

However, Shang Kexi, after all, is a general. Since he was born, he has followed his father, Shang Xueli, to garrison the border, and has a good understanding of the topography of the whole Liao Dynasty.

After pondering for a moment, he got up quickly and gave a respectful fist to Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Yang miaocai, and then turned to many officers in the tent. "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, Mr. Yang, brothers, since Li Shuai and Chen Shuai want to talk about their humble positions, they should talk about their humble ideas. Of course, it's just the words of a humble family. If there is something wrong, please forgive me. "

After all, it's "veteran oil son". Fortunately, in terms of etiquette, there won't be any problem at all, which immediately attracted a burst of good will laughter from all the officers.

Feeling the good intentions of the brothers, the still gratifying self-confidence also recovered a lot. He restrained his mind and said in a loud voice: "brothers, with the speculation of humble position, Li Shuai, Chen Shuai and the brothers have done so much in qingtaiyu fort and Lianshan pass. Tartars will never give up. Especially at this time, we still have manggutai's younger brother in hand. I'm afraid manggutai must send out his evil fire! However, we have the benefit of the water army. Our humble position worries that manggutai will probably shift his spearhead and focus his attention on the eastern line. "

As early as before the meeting, Shang Kexi had already done his homework and had a thorough analysis of the overall situation.

There was a murmur among the officers in the tent. Obviously, they all agreed with the encouraging conclusion.

When Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong met, they both laughed.

Shang Kexi, the boy, has some skills indeed.

On one side, Yang miaocai is also quietly looking at this brave Ming army guerrilla in front of him.

Yang miaocai can clearly feel that Li Yuanqing is very fond of this young Ming army guerrilla, and his intention of soliciting and supporting him is beyond words

If Yang miaocai stood in the court's perspective Naturally, he would not allow such things to happen

But at this time, even himself has become Li Yuanqing's "running dog" Naturally, the right to speak in this regard has been lost.

However, Yang miaocai has already wanted to open up.

The stronger Li Yuanqing is, the better it is for him. Only when Li Yuanqing is stronger can he get more support from him.

Under such circumstances, Yang miaocai also wants to have a good look at what Li Yuanqing will do.

At this time, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Yuanji, according to your consideration, at this time, how should our army deal with itself?"

It is gratifying that at this time, he has a plan in mind.

Although he did not understand Li Yuanqing's strategic intention at this time, he knew that with so many supplies and slaves, Li Yuanqing would surely make good use of the sea and the water army.

Busy smile way: "return to Li Shuai's words. In his humble opinion, even if manggutai wants to harass the eastern front, he must first look for our whereabouts. If he is not sure of our position, it will be like a stick in the throat, afraid it will be difficult to dare to boldly invade the eastern line. In addition, the conservative defense strategy set by Huang Taiji before. If you dare to be bold, you will never be afraid of it. Li Shuai, in consideration of his humble position, we should set up camp in a good position of surrounding resources and send more sentinels to explore the position of manggurtai tribe. It's better to seduce him... "…………

It was noon when the military meeting was over.

Finally, Li Yuanqing adopted the offensive defense strategy of passive but active.

With the support of the fleet and the sea, no matter what manggurtai did, the Ming army had been invincible ahead of time.

The next step, the most important thing is to seduce manggutai to see how much meat he has left.

Although it didn't take much effort, it was quite exhausting. The officers were already hungry.

Fortunately, the firemen have already prepared a rich meal. At the end of the military meeting, officers quickly and orderly began to line up for dinner.

Although the officers on the side of Ludao did not adapt to the rhythm of the officers in the south of Liaoning, they were all officers who had been strictly trained and were very aware of the severity of military discipline. After a few words, the officers in the south of Liaoning quickly understood the outline and queued up for meals.

In the military academy's regulations, lunch is a wartime, you can drink less to keep out the cold, but never drink freely.

Therefore, the lunch of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong is also very simple.

After lunch, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Yang miaocai arrived at the east side of the camp to check the status of the livestock.

Although during the retreat from qingtaiyu fort and LIANSHANGUAN, the Ming army waited a little while to return a lot of forage, but the weight was not much, mainly because it was not easy to carry.

If the Ming army wants to stay here for a period of time, it must prepare more fodder.

Although it was autumn and the weather had cooled down a lot, the surrounding areas were still very prosperous with pig grass and various forages. With these slaves in hand and the veterinarian experts like badalu, there was no big problem.
