PS: Thank you for the monthly votes voted by the book friends "Fami Like a Dragon" and "The Devil's Trace".

This is one of the gravediggers of the Ming Dynasty, Li Dingguo, the king of Anxi of the Great Western Army.

He came from a poor background, but he was in the middle of nowhere.

But if he appeared on the coast, he would definitely be hysterically scolded by those Donglin Party literati, "National thief!" ”

The ass determines the position, right and wrong, good and evil, only the parties are truly clear.

At this time, the sound of hooves behind him sounded sharply.

With a shout, "Lord Wang, Master Huang is back......!" ”

Li Dingguo was shocked, looked back, and arched his hand at the people: "Fellow villagers, Li has to deal with urgent matters...... Leave! ”

Before the words fell, Li Dingguo had already returned to his horse.

In the shout of "the prince is good to go", a piece of broken silver fell on the ground in front of the old farmer with a "whoosh".

Li Dingguo's voice came from afar, "Uncle, this is the ...... Li ate your sweet potato silver." ”

……。

Anshun City is not large, with a radius of several miles.

At first, it was a military town, but slowly, the population grew.

Although it is the southwestern border, up to now, the proportion of Han people is not small.

The houses in the city are very simple, and they cannot be compared with the courtyards and pavilions in the south of the Yangtze River.

Li Dingguo's office is the original official yamen.

The yamen is not big, covering an area of only two or three acres, fortunately, the population in Li Ding's country is not large, only his wife Liu plus two sons and one daughter are enough.

Speaking of which, Li Dingguo is indeed powerful.

At the age of thirty, the eldest son was fourteen years old, the eldest daughter was twelve years old, and the second son was seven years old.

In other words, Li Dingguo had his first son at the age of seventeen, which can be regarded as Niu X's arrival at home.

Li Dingguo galloped on his horse, and as soon as he arrived at the gate of the yamen, he saw Huang Yingyun, who was thinking about it day and night, looking forward to it at the door.

So, he hurriedly jumped off the horse, stepped forward and grabbed Huang Yingyun's hands, and said, "Mr. Huang, Li has been looking forward to you for ten days, thinking, why should I come back...... I was always worried that Mr. Huang was nostalgic for the prosperity of Jiangnan and abandoned Li. ”

Huang Yingyun burst into tears and choked up: "If you can win the favor of the prince, even if Jiangnan is prosperous, as long as your subordinates still have a breath of air, they have to climb back to the prince." ”

What a scene of monarchs and ministers getting along!

……。

"Come on...... Mr. Huang, don't dislike it, coarse tea and light rice are naturally not as good as Jiangnan delicacies, but as long as you fill your stomach, it is actually the same. ”

Li Dingguo dismissed everyone, and he and Huang Yingyun had a face-to-face meal.

It is said that it is coarse tea and light rice, but it is really, to be precise, it is two bowls of dry rice and one bowl of pickled vegetables.

Not even a glass of cloudy wine.

Huang Yingyun's eyes are red, and he was used to doing this, but after seeing the prosperity of Jiangnan, Huang Yingyun understood that there is no harm if there is no comparison. It turned out that this is what he X, and he is also called the prince to eat.

Li Dingguo's eyes flickered, he saw Huang Yingyun's expression, and guessed what Huang Yingyun was thinking, he laughed and said: "In fact, this king has also eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas, when my father-in-law was there, our four brothers ate wine in a big bowl and a large piece of meat...... The days passed by, and Sensei was moistened. ”

Speaking of this, Li Dingguo took the chopsticks pickled vegetables for Huang Yingyun, and said: "Don't dislike Mr. Huang, the days in the future will get better and better, and when the territory ......of the Ming Dynasty is recovered, Li will invite Mr. Huang to eat meat and drink wine every day." ”

The tears in Huang Yingyun's eyes finally dropped.

He really didn't dislike it, he traveled thousands of miles from Anshun, and when he arrived in Zhejiang, he was exhausted, almost asking for food, and walked the last hundreds of miles.

What kind of hardship have you not suffered?

But looking at Li Dingguo, eating such a meal, but with a look of accustomedness, Huang Yingyun's heart hurt very much, and his heart hurt.

Huang Yingyun ate it in a big gulp, as if he was eating a delicacy that is unparalleled in the world.

This is not a coarse tea and light meal, but a love that will not be exchanged.

Li Dingguo smiled and persuaded: "Mr. Huang eat slowly, don't choke, there are too many in the rice pot, and you can ...... enough." ”

……。

After the meal, the two began to talk about business.

Huang Yingyun told Li Dingguo what he had seen and heard on this trip, and then presented the letter with body temperature and strong body odor that had been covering his chest for more than a month.

After Li Dingguo read Wu Zheng's letter, he pinched the letter and was silent for a long time.

Huang Yingyun didn't say a word and waited quietly.

He knew that Li Dingguo needed time to understand this.

No one can imagine the changes that have taken place in Gangnam unless they see it with their own eyes.

Even if Huang Yingyun saw it with his own eyes, he was stupid, stunned, and at a loss at the time.

After half an hour, Li Dingguo finally let out a long breath.

"Mr. Huang, Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army, is it really as powerful as you say?"

Huang Yingyun nodded without hesitation and said, "Yes." It would not be an exaggeration to call it the most elite tiger in the world. ”

"Mr. Huang, in your opinion, if the Great Western Army under Li Mou's command fights the Northern Expeditionary Army head-on, what are the odds of victory?"

Li Dingguo stared at Huang Yingyun fixedly.

Huang Yingyun was a little stunned, he didn't know how to answer, so as not to hurt Li Dingguo's heart.

But for a long time, Huang Yingyun was speechless.

He could only get up, kneel in front of Li Dingguo, and then prostrate himself on the ground.

Li Dingguorao was prepared in his heart, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh.

"Listen to what you said, Wu Zheng is just in his early twenties, what is he capable of creating such an elite army?" Li Dingguo looked up at the roof beam, "Li has followed his father-in-law for more than ten years, born and died, and every battle must be the first, so he can bring out the army around him, but ...... But do you think that Li has no chance of winning?! ”

Huang Yingyun lay on the ground without raising his head.

It's not that I don't dare to lift it, but I don't dare to lift it, I don't dare to bump into Li Dingguo's disappointed and sad eyes.

Li Dingguo sighed heavily, got up and said, "Mr. Huang, why is this...... Although Li is a rough person, he will not blame the truth-teller. ”

Huang Yingyun was helped up, he still didn't dare to look up at Li Dingguo's eyes, and arched his hand: "Back to the prince's words, the Great Western Army and the Northern Expeditionary Army ...... It's not invincible, but incomparable! King Wu's Northern Expeditionary Army won more than ten miles of land, and no matter how brave the soldiers were, they didn't even see the face of their opponents, and the battle was over...... Let me ask the prince, how to compare? ”

Li Dingguo frowned and said: "But under Li's command, there are also more than 200 artillery pieces, of which more than 100 are also purchased from the West. ”

"But does the prince know how many artillery pieces Wu Zheng's Northern Expeditionary Army has?"

"How much?"

"Uncountable!" Huang Yingyun sighed and said, "I only saw it with my own eyes, in the military academy founded by Jiangnan, when the cadets were training, they fired hundreds of artillery pieces neatly for half a day...... Lord, this is just training. ”

Li Dingguo's mouth opened wide in shock, and he couldn't close it for a long time.

He has led the army for many years, and he has a deep understanding of the heavy weapon of artillery, and he sees it more than life.

It can be said that there is no artillery, and it is difficult to attack the city without artillery.

The training took half a day to fire a salvo of 100 cannons, how many shells and gunpowder did this take?
