The Soldier of the Ming Dynasty

Not long ago, Chen Zhong's deputy commander, Qianhu Zhangqiu, was led to Li Yuanqing's big tent.

Zhang Qiu reported to Li Yuanqing in detail the achievements of his trip and the surrender of the native tribes by Chen Zhongbu.

What they paid away was a large tribe with a population of nearly one thousand, which was located on the Bank of the duoerbi river.

However, although the tribe of Ayan duoding is a large tribe known as a thousand people, its actual combat strength is only two or three hundred people. It has been nearly ten years since the Jin Dynasty after the surrender, which can be regarded as the mixed blood Department of Jurchen and natives.

In fact, Daming used "Nuzhen" to refer to the natives of Northeast China. This range is actually very wide, and many of them have been classified into the order of Nuzhen.

If we divide them carefully, I'm afraid we can still distinguish more than ten or twenty nationalities.

With Chen Zhong's excellent combat power of nearly 2000 people and basically all firearms, it is not necessary to spend much effort against these Tu people.

However, the complex terrain and bad weather in the settlement area of ayandoding brought a lot of trouble to Chen Zhong and his family.

Even though Chen Zhong was extremely well prepared, the children still paid dozens of casualties, and the number of dead in the battle was more than ten.

In particular, there were many Han women and slaves plundered by the later Jin Dynasty in the old nest of Ayan duoding. Under the dual effects, Chen Zhong was very angry and slaughtered most of the men, and almost all the men were killed.

Zhang Qiu quickly explained to Li Yuanqing: "Li Shuai, the native of Ayan duoding tribe, is very similar to the Nuzhen Tartars. Chen Shuai Yan can reward the 600 or 700 chieftains to the imperial court."

After Zhang Qiu finished, he looked at Li Yuanqing respectfully and carefully.

In fact, they have violated Li Yuanqing's original intention to clear up the natives

But with Chen Zhong's position, he still has the right to decide. Naturally, Li Yuanqing would not care about such a small matter.

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly. For a moment, Li Yuanqing laughed: "when can Chen Shuai arrive here?"

At this time ~, because of the inconvenience of communication and transportation, Chen Zhong did not know the result of the imperial court at this time. Since Chen Zhong went out to the army, Li Yuanqing had not contacted Chen Zhong.

Fortunately, Chen Zhong didn't have a love for war. After he had paid up a Yan duo Ding tribe, he went back directly. Even if he had slaughtered the clan, it was still within the scope that Li Yuanqing could bear.

Zhang Qiu said respectfully: "back to Li Shuai, there will be no accident. We can arrive tonight."

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile, "brother Zhang Qiu, you have worked hard. However, you can't rest at this time. I want you to find Chen Shuai's main force immediately and tell him that he must come here before tonight. I'm here to meet Chen Shuai. "

"Yes."

Zhang Qiu did not dare to neglect him. He kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, saluted him, and left quickly.

Watching Zhang Qiu leave, Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Chen Zhong's return is like giving Li Yuanqing a reassurance

………

When Chen Zhong was approaching Zishi, he arrived at the iron ore camp where Li Yuanqing was pinned on the mountain.

It snowed again in the afternoon. Chen Zhong had planned to camp by the river and cross the river again tomorrow. However, when he received the news from Li Yuanqing, he rushed over directly.

When old brothers meet, naturally there is not much nonsense.

Accompanied by Chen Zhong, he roasted the fire for a while, and drank some hot wine to warm himself. Li Yuanqing directly told Chen Zhong about the information he had received from the imperial court during this period.

Chen Zhong was stunned for a long time. Then he reacted and spat: "Yuanqing, this This is to rebel! The big masters of the imperial court are trying to force us to death! Yuanqing, we can't swallow it! "

At this time, Daisy had already warmed up a pot of mutton. Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "brother, you should eat something to cushion your stomach. Let's talk while eating. "

Accompany Chen Zhong to eat a lot of meat, and drink some wine, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, this matter, what do you think?"

At this time, Chen Zhong had calmed down a lot. He had already figured out that "people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong." the emperor, the imperial court and governor yuan are really going to attack southern Liaoning this time.

"Yuanqing, it's really hateful! We brothers, we fight for life, how many years, how many good guys, died in battle, only to return to our foundation today. The emperor and the imperial court should open their mouths like this. We can't swallow it in any case! "

"Yuanqing, if there is one, there will be two; if there is two, there will be three! If we step back, there will be no room for our brothers in the whole Daming. "

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, handed Chen Zhong a cigar and lit one himself. He said slowly, "brother, truth is really such a truth. But at this time, the emperor and the imperial court, including yuan Manzi, are in charge. We are very passive. "

Chen Zhong took a deep breath of his cigarette butt and said, "Yuanqing, passive, we can't bow our heads easily! This is our bottom line. We can't shake it! By the way, Yuanqing, what's the attitude of the commander. ""The commander-in-chief hasn't written back yet. I'm afraid it will take ten days and a half months to hear from you. "

Chen Zhong hated him even more: "Yuan Qing, isn't that his mother stabbing us in the back? What a wicked heart he is! Fortunately, I didn't love war. I came back in time! Otherwise, ah... "

At this time, Li Yuanqing had fully understood Chen Zhong's attitude and had a deeper foundation in his heart.

This is also the key reason why Li Yuanqing has been reluctant to bring Chen Zhongbu, including Zhang pan and Chen liangce, into his command.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was about to be in the extreme position of a minister, he was, after all, a martial arts man, a "mud legged son" in the eyes of big men.

He accepted Chen Zhong, Zhang pan, including Chen liangce. According to his prestige of Li Yuanqing, the brothers ate meat together and drank it together. Under normal conditions, it was almost impossible to change.

But I'm afraid I'm afraid when I meet this kind of thing.

Money and silk move people's hearts!

In the face of coercion and inducement, how many people can stand firm to the end and insist on their own persistence?

Of course, one of the most important reasons is that Li Yuanqing wants to form the forces of the martial arts group, and in the next step, the rise of the martial arts.

At this point, the utility has begun to show.

Although Chen Zhong was not "integrated" with Li Yuanqing at this time, the two parts and two people were already inseparable.

"Brother, do you know about the iron ore?"

Chen Zhong nodded his head for a moment, but he couldn't help laughing: "Yuanqing, I've convinced you. I've heard Zhang Qiu say it briefly on my way. This kind of shadowy business can be done by you! ha-ha! It's God, they're all on our side! "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "brother, to tell you the truth, I'm a blind cat. I've met a dead mouse. Most of the time I've met a dead mouse, it's mostly due to concealment. But it's a good sign for us. "

Although the so-called "potential" can not be seen or touched, in fact, many things have traces to follow.

Especially at this time, we don't know something about people.

Naturally, Li Yuanqing should make rational use of such things.

Hearing Li Yuanqing's words, Chen Zhong immediately raised his mind and laughed: "Yuanqing, what do you care about those dog scum who are not shy of urinating? We have 50000 strong soldiers in hand, will we be afraid of them? Even if the emperor wants to pit us, we can't bear it. It's a big deal. We'll spend it on the north side! I don't believe it. There's no room for reasoning in this world! "

Li Yuanqing took a deep breath of his cigar and said with a smile, "big brother, it's not unreasonable. The main reason is that we are passive now. These days, I think carefully, we have two choices

Chen Zhong nodded and looked at Li Yuanqing and cocked up his ears.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "big brother, the first one is that, as you said, we and the main force stay here and watch the fire from the shore. It's going to take a year and a half to see what's going on. "

Chen Zhong did not speak, quietly waiting for Li Yuanqing's next.

The two of them have gone all the way to the present, and their understanding of each other's temperaments has almost surpassed their wives.

"The second is to divide our troops. We should retain a part of our troops and continue to expand our achievements in the north. The other part of the troops will return to Liao and stand by at any time. "

Chen Zhong nodded slowly, "Yuanqing, how do you think about it?"

Li Yuanqing said: "brother, you can see it. Beidi is a good place! Although it's cold and there are fewer people, there are a lot of good things! This is only a small place here. If we develop more, we don't know how many of these iron ores, even coal, gold and silver mines! These are gold like cash trees! Elder brother, I am really reluctant to give up these precious lands

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning, but he took a long breath of thick fog and said, "Yuanqing, it's good to stay here, but we can't give up our roots. Especially If time goes by and the imperial court's influence is deep, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no change in southern Liaoning... "

Li Yuanqing emphatically nodded, "elder brother, I am also worried about this matter. It would be a tragedy if brothers of flesh and blood were to be fraternal. "

"Yuanqing, I'll stay here. You go back first. After a year and a half, when the situation is stable, I will go back! "

"Brother, you misunderstand me." Li Yuanqing smiles and shakes his head.

"Eh?"

Chen Zhong is busy looking at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing laughed: "big brother, I mean, we two people, want to go back together! Big brother, without you, I always feel insecure in my heart! "

Chen Zhong was deeply moved at that time, "Yuanqing, don't worry. Remember what my brother said to you before? No matter when, brother always stands behind you! However, if both of us go back, the troops here... "

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "big brother, there is no need to worry about it. Here, it looks like it's spreading out. In fact, there are not many people. I'm ready to... "
