Chapter 167: The First Level in the World
When he woke up the next morning, Xu Changqing's mood was already clear.
It has to be said, "Born in sorrow, and die in peace." ”
Only with full competition can the market be more prosperous.
Of course, in the case that Li Youwei has paid so much, Xu Changqing naturally has to pay some things, such as going to the Li family in Shanhaiguan in a more solemn way.
At this time, there was a big retreat everywhere, even if the Snake Mountain Fort was still a stone's throw away from Shanhaiguan and could arrive in a day as soon as possible, but Xu Changqing did not rush over first, but still personally led the large army to maintain the rhythm.
In this state, all kinds of fires and chaos occur from time to time, and the strong winds and waves have survived, Xu Changqing doesn't want to capsize in this kind of gutter.
And because the relationship with Xu Changqing has gone further, Li Youwei has also relaxed a lot at this time, and a delicate smile sometimes hangs on her pretty face.
In the evening, the team successfully arrived at Qiantun.
With Xu Changqing personally leading the team, who would dare to come to Xu Changqing's trouble?
On the Qiantun side, Wang Tingchen has been waiting here for a long time.
Mainly when he left Ningyuan, Wang Tingchen had a meeting with Xu Changqing, and when he arrived in Qiantun, no matter what, he must let him do his best to be a landlord.
Therefore, Xu Changqing also sent someone to inform Wang Tingchen in advance.
At this time, the original majestic and sturdy former guard has already been in disarray, although the city wall is retained in many places, but everywhere there is black ash and crumbles, the vicissitudes left by the war, shocking!
If you ask who among the nine sides of the Nine Sides is the most injured at this time?
There is no doubt that it is the royal courtier in front of him.
He not only lost his headquarters, but also lost his nest and future, and his foundation was almost destroyed!
If it weren't for Xu Changqing's care for him, Wang Tingchen would have collapsed long ago.
"Brother, the conditions here in Qiantun are really ...... It's so bad, my brother can't help it. ”
The Qiantun Acropolis must not be inhabited at this time, and the camp of the royal courtiers could only be set up on a dirt slope a few miles southeast of the city.
Welcoming Xu Changqing and his party into the camp, Wang Tingchen was a little embarrassed.
He is really like a lost dog now.
He, Brother Xu, finally arrived at his land, but he couldn't take out anything to entertain him at this time......
Xu Changqing smiled: "Brother Wang, our brother said that this is far away." Just by the hour, tonight, we two must have a drink. ”
Feeling Xu Changqing's sincerity, Wang Tingchen relaxed a little, and was busy asking the guards to help Xu Changqing and his party arrange the camp, while he personally went to urge the vegetables.
In the big tent, a fat sheep has been roasted golden brown, although there are no too delicate dishes on the table, but it is better because of the large amount of meat, it is still very good.
Xu Changqing also had five or six points of alcohol with Wang Tingchen at this time, and began to talk about business.
Wang Tingchen said: "Brother, you have a good brain, to be honest, brother, I'm really a little panicked now, what should I do in this state now?" ”
Xu Changqing slowly took a sip of the wine in the glass and looked into Wang Tingchen's eyes: "Brother Wang, what do you think about this matter?" ”
Wang Tingchen's character and character, Xu Changqing already knows very well, this is a man who can be befriended and is really worth befriending.
However, Xu Changqing must not overstep his responsibilities and stretch his hand too long.
Wang Tingchen understood what Xu Changqing meant in a moment, took a sip of wine and said, "The intention of the governor is definitely to rebuild Qiantun." I mean something about the same. However, now the area around Qiantun is badly injured, not only is there a shortage of manpower, but also a shortage of materials, if you want to return to the previous state, I am afraid, it will take at least two or three years. ”
Xu Changqing nodded slowly, played with the wine glass in his hand, and did not speak in a hurry.
This is actually a big misunderstanding of inherent thinking!
I was hurt, and I always wanted to get it back, and it was exactly the same as before, or even better!
But to put it bluntly, at this time, Qiantun, including the entire Liaoxi, is no longer suitable for farming, because there is not enough military strength to prevent the Qing army from approaching the city!
Once the main force of the Qing army comes, all the efforts, all the expenses, all the hard work, all the others will become the wedding clothes of others.
This is definitely not a wise thing to do.
"Brother Wang, I think that now, in fact~~, is not a bad thing." Xu Changqing looked at Wang Tingchen's eyes slowly.
"Huh?"
Wang Tingchen was stunned for a moment, "Brother, this, what is the explanation?" ”
Xu Changqing smiled: "Brother Wang, under your command, there must be more soldiers than soldiers, right?" ”
Wang Tingchen already understood what Xu Changqing meant, but he hadn't accurately grasped the main line, so he nodded subconsciously.
Xu Changqing continued: "Brother Wang, up to now, in fact, the facts have proved that the difference between soldiers and soldiers on the battlefield is not big. Even, the effect of the soldiers is even better than that of the garrison. for they have practiced more sufficiently, and they are all of silver. ”
Wang Tingchen's brows suddenly furrowed tightly, he had already touched Xu Changqing's main line a little, but this was definitely like a bolt from the blue for him, and he said with some difficulty: "Brother, in this way, it will be difficult for my brother's family." Moreover, if you don't have a family, the follow-up troubles will be more difficult to deal with. It's hard. ”
Of course, Xu Changqing understood what Wang Tingchen meant, but he shook his head with a smile: "Brother Wang, things can't just follow one line. Let's put it this way, Brother Wang, do you think, is it the land here in Qiantun, or the land outside the gate that can make the sons and daughters down-to-earth, or ~~, the land in the gate makes the sons and daughters more down-to-earth? ”
"Forehead ......"
……
Xu Changqing chatted with Wang Tingchen until midnight, and Wang Tingchen was completely brainwashed by Xu Changqing as if he had been empowered.
This is actually the terrifying shackles of the inherent thinking of the Ming tradition!
At this time, Liaodi is no longer suitable for farming and development, if you still have to do such a brute force that violates the laws of history here, then ~, in addition to working the people and losing money, dragging the country into the abyss, personal interests can not be guaranteed in the slightest!
Wang Tingchen was indeed seriously injured at this time, but his personal soldier skeleton and his core were still preserved, and he was not damaged too much.
If Wang Tingchen, like Wu Sangui, can enter the guerrilla warfare mode and no longer be shackled by fixed cities, then ~, the situation in Liaodi will be completely different.
Take 10,000 steps back and say that Wang Tingchen and Wu Sangui are only training soldiers in Liaodi at this time, not developing, not only can they train elite soldiers, but for the imperial court, their control will become more and more huge.
Moreover, even if the Qing army attacks again, there will be no property here, and there will be barrenness everywhere, which will definitely seriously hit the enthusiasm of the Qing army and make Liaoxi safer.
As for the troops and the back road, it is completely possible to rely on the Guannai and get all these foundations to the Guannai.
Even if it's a barren place inside the Kansai, it's definitely much better than outside the Kansai!
Because there is security!
As long as you are a normal person, you will know how to choose!
Of course, there are still many core problems in this solution that are difficult to solve.
For example, the dependence on cash.
Although this is also a garrison, the land in the pass is limited, even if some wasteland with poor conditions can be reclaimed, the output will not be much, and it can only rely on subsidies from the imperial court.
But all difficulties are to be solved!
Needless to say, Wu Sangui's Ningyuan defense line is by no means comparable to that of the Wang courtiers.
But if Wang Tingchen came to operate this matter and reported this plan, according to Hong Chengchou's shrewdness, he would definitely know how to choose!
And this plan was reported to the imperial court, and the silver taels that were rebuilt in the former tun were removed, and I am afraid that the Son of Heaven would show his face.
Qiantun must be rebuilt, but it is no longer the previous model of the court paying money and people, but handing it over to the local government, so that the royal courtiers can slowly repair it and refine the core points.
Including Songshan, Xingshan, Tashan, and even Jinzhou later, in fact, you can follow this idea.
In this way, if the royal courtiers can hold on, they will definitely go further and contribute greatly to the country!
It's a pity that whether Wang Tingchen chooses this plan or not, it is not something that Xu Changqing can control.
However, with Xu Changqing's thinking to guide him, it will definitely be much better than another time and space.
……
When they parted the next day, Wang Tingchen had some dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't slept well all night.
Although he didn't make a clear statement, he said to Xu Changqing sincerely: "Brother, my brother knows your ability, and he knows your mind, no matter whether this matter is successful or not, my brother will remember your goodness!" ”
Xu Changqing smiled and said no more: "Brother Wang, the green mountains will not change, the green water will flow forever, we will have a period in the future!" ”
Wang Tingchen suddenly clenched his fists hard: "Brother, cherish!" ”
As the war horse gradually moved forward, the figure of the royal courtiers in the rear became smaller and smaller, and Xu Changqing's mood gradually eased.
Regardless of whether the royal courtiers succeed or not, this good fate is accepted.
Compared with another time and space, at this time, there are two great cities in western Liaoning, Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and at the same time, there are five general soldiers of the Zu family, the Wu family, Wang Tingchen, Zuo Guangxian, and Liu Zhaoji, as well as a large number of deputy generals, deputy generals, and generals, and the situation is much better.
There is still a lot to be done!
……
After Qiantun, it is close to the hinterland of Guannai.
It's a pity that this side is also harassed by the Qing army, a large area of Tunbao is deserted, the ground is overgrown with wild grass, except for the retreating soldiers everywhere, there is no trace of human population.
It's not all bad.
If it can be maintained, the main force of the Qing army will come next time, and then it will have to cry......
Shanhaiguan is the Li family's nest at this time, Li Youwei has already sent someone to report the news, Xu Changqing also has a plan in advance, to give the Li family enough face, this kind of welcome scale is much grander than Wang Tingchen's side.
In addition to Li Shizhong, who did not arrive because of poor health, including the Shanhaiguan General Soldier Ma Ke, Wang Pu, Cao Bianjiao, Yang Guozhu, and Li Fuming, who were temporarily resting in Shanhaiguan, all arrived.
This also makes Shanhaixiongguan the stars bright and star-studded.
After all, it is a core fortress, it takes time to enter the customs, and there are strict rules, and a large number of retreats from various departments have gathered around.
Originally, there were still people who were dissatisfied, and they were secretly scolding who was such a big showmanship, and why they delayed everyone's entry.
But when he heard that the person who came was Xu Changqing, the surroundings were suddenly quiet.
Just kidding, Xu Changqing and Xu Ye entered the customs, what's wrong with everyone letting you go?
They are all old acquaintances, and it is a warm greeting when they meet.
Especially the attitude of the famous generals towards Xu Changqing made many Li family members who came to greet him silent, this Xu Ye is really going to soar to the sky.
This can catch up with the scene of the ancestors.
Soon, they are also honored and have extra face!
After all, this Xu Changqing Xu Ye will soon become their Li family's Chenglong fast son-in-law.
After some eager greetings, everyone entered the city in turn.
Shanhaiguan is extremely majestic, and has always been called 'the first pass in the world'!
To a large extent, the ownership of Shanhaiguan is also directly related to the life and death of the Ming Dynasty.
There are several Luocheng arches on both sides of the entire Guancheng, and the city walls are more than ten meters high, with green tiles and green bricks, and they are tightly fitted!
The city was full of cannons, blades, and was heavily guarded.
From a purely military point of view, there is basically no possibility of defeat in this bastion-style terrorist defense system.
In fact, in fact, in another time and space, whether it is Li Zicheng or Dolgon, they have not conquered the first level in the world after all.
Because of many famous generals, Ma Ke is also the head snake, and tonight's Li family's dinner is definitely the grandest one in Shanhaiguan in recent years.
In the majestic Guancheng, the huge Li Mansion was already busy.
However, Xu Changqing did not have time to drink tea with many old acquaintances at this time, and entered the Li Mansion to rest for a while, Xu Changqing was led by someone to come to meet Lao Taishan, Li Chengliang, Li Rusong and other direct descendants of the thunderous name, Li Shizhong.
