~~~~~~

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Mao Wenlong meant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mao Wenlong still wants to maintain this delicate balance at this time within the framework of Liaodi vs. Houjin at this time.

Even if it costs a little more.

It's just ~~, the butcher's knives of the imperial court have been revealed...... How can this balance be kept?

In the past few years, he, Li Yuanqing, has fed the court and these bigwigs who make decisions with their butts every day, and he is used to eating honey and eating.

If you don't slap them their old faces...... How can they still remember, it hurts~~, what is it like?

But Li Yuanqing also knew very well that it would not be wise to publicly refute the imperial court, question or even hinder the authority of the imperial court, but to seek his own death and stand on the opposite side of the entire general trend.

You still have to follow the rules......

…………

On the riverside, the huge fleet of ships cascading and undulating is like a moving castle that covers the sky and the sun, like a huge long dragon, traversing the frozen Heilongjiang River.

The flags waving in the wind are swaying back and forth, and the hunting sounds.

At this time, although the river has been frozen, in the past ten days, the sons and daughters of the engineering team have carried out several ice-breaking operations and cleared a road to the sea.

Standing on the high deck of the ship, looking at the ice and snow that he was already familiar with, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, and couldn't help but think of the time when King Chu hugged his most beloved woman on the bank of the Wujiang River, and sighed when he said goodbye: "The time is not good, and the time is not good, but what can I do?" ”

What a pity!

He, Li Yuanqing, is by no means the overlord of Western Chu, and if he has a small setback, he will seek death and life. Whoever owes him will have to pay it back sooner or later! Whoever eats him will vomit sooner or later!

Around, the flags were displayed, and the heralds were constantly shouting.

Soon, Yang Lei walked quickly in front of Li Yuanqing and said respectfully: "Handsome, everything is ready." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, and there was no trace of nostalgia: "Pass my military order and go!" ”

"Yes!"

With the orders being conveyed layer by layer and quickly to the front line, the entire fleet, the entire fleet, like a huge red dragon, slowly and quickly, began to sail towards the river on the east side......

…………

Life on board is still quite boring.

In a flash, it has come to the end of December, and the New Year is coming soon.

During this time, Li Yuanqing has also been contemplating and concipitating.

He remembered what Sun Chengzong warned him when he was leaving: "Yuanqing, you, you just went too smoothly." You must know that the wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it! ”

Before, in many cases, Li Yuanqing did take Sun Chengzong's admonition as his motto and remind himself at all times.

But ~~~, there are too many things, it's easy to say, but it's extremely difficult to really do.

It is him Li Yuanqing, in many cases, it is inevitable that he will make a lot of mistakes.

If some small mistakes in ordinary times are insignificant, they seem to be unexpected, but ~~~, once these mistakes accumulate and form a scale, then ~~, it can become fatal damage......

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing 'keeps making small mistakes, but never makes big mistakes'.

At this time, although the whole situation and the whole general trend made Li Yuanqing seem a little passive, the most critical core point, the army, the foundation of his Changsheng Island, the alliance with Chen Zhong, the reliance on Mao Wenlong's 'lip and tooth dependence', and the liaison with Mangui and other old brothers in western Liaoning, are still on a very powerful and healthy track.

On this trip, the sons and daughters around Li Yuanqing, plus Chen Zhongbu, only had a scale of more than 20,000 people, and there were 30,000 people, who were still temporarily staying in the north.

The main ones are Duan Xiliang, Kong Youde, and Shunzi, who have already gone out and cannot be contacted, coupled with the crisis of Liaodi affairs, Li Yuanqing can only return to Liaodi first, and Duan Xiliang and their follow-up troops will go to the transit point of this trip, Jeju Island, in batches.

Many affairs in the north were still in charge of Wang Damao and Shu Luohuan of Xiharwei, but Li Yuanqing, whose core ruler, ordered them to move to Yemu Hewei, and in the next two or three years, they were densely packed with strongholds, extending to iron mines.

In fact, Li Yuanqing also considered that if it really reached a situation where he could not choose, retreating to the north would not be a way out.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanqing temporarily suppressed this idea.

The most critical core is that Changsheng Island is, after all, his Li Yuanqing's ten-year foundation, and it would be a pity if he rashly gave up and succumbed to the obscenity of the imperial court.

Besides, the weather in the Northland is too bad. Especially during the Xiaoice River period at this time, spring, summer and autumn, it is too short, and the crops are ripe once a year, which cannot be completely guaranteed.

If you want to survive in the Northland, you can only approximate the nomadic way of life, mainly animal husbandry and fish farming.

This was difficult for Li Yuanqing to accept for a while.

He must return to Liaodi, truly probe, perceive the general situation, and make a choice in the calmest state.

There are still five or six days to go before the Chinese New Year, but at this time, the fleet is still nearly twenty days away from Jeju Island, and even if it is the New Year, it can only be on the ship.

Fortunately~, the supplies on the ship are still quite abundant, enough for the sons and daughters to eat and drink well and have a good year.

It's just that this trip to the Northland, which was originally a huge structure, has evolved into a training activity of 'field training' at this time......

However, the discipline of the Changsheng Battalion was strict, coupled with the iron ore incident and the victory of Chen Zhongbu, the morale of the sons and daughters was still extremely high.

And although the life on the ship is 'boring', Li Yuanqing is not without harvest, at least, with his hard work, Daisy finally has seeds in her belly.

After the lively New Year on the sea, and drifting the sea for more than half a month, the seventeenth day of the first month of the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, the fleet successfully arrived at Jeju Island.

At this time, although the wind and snow on Jeju Island continued, the children had just returned from the Northland, and this little wind and snow was like a drizzle, and it didn't make people feel cold at all.

Relying on the county seat of Jeju Island, the conditions here are naturally much better than those in the north.

In the past two years, the Li Dynasty basically relocated the Chao ~ Xian indigenous people on Jeju Island, and Li Liang was afraid that these people would have any entanglement with Li Yuanqing, and became a bargaining chip for Li Yuanqing to use.

This also allows the sons and daughters to worry a lot, and they can let go of their hands and feet and build the Jeju Island port according to the model of the military city port.

It will take at least three or four days for the troops to completely land and station, and Li Yuanqing has also returned to his long-lost house from the ship, rested well, and checked the information sent to this side from all over the world in time these days.

At this time, the situation in the entire Liaodi has reached a stalemate.

If he Li Yuanqing does not come back, the decrees of the imperial court will not be truly implemented and implemented, and Emperor Chongzhen, the imperial court, and Inspector Yuan, even if they are in a hurry, do not dare to easily break this balance.

Mao Wenlong, on the other hand, took advantage of this opportunity to sit firmly in Diaoyutai and wanted to resolve the crisis at this time.

But Mao Wenlong obviously didn't expect that at this time~, not only Li Yuanqing, but also his Inspector Yuan's 'food on the plate', even he Mao Wenlong, never escaped from the clutches of Inspector Yuan.

For this, Mao Wenlong was also very indignant, and successively wrote several letters to the emperor and the court, but unfortunately~, the effect was not good.

Mao Wenlong was also helpless about this.

But at this time, he didn't have any good choice, everything, just wait for Li Yuanqing to come back from the north, and then make plans.

Originally, according to Li Yuanqing's thoughts, he didn't want to go over to see Mao Wenlong so early, because the joints were a little tangled.

Li Yuanqing was afraid that Mao Wenlong would use the general situation to force him Li Yuanqing to remain a vassal under the imperial court and make a big compromise with the imperial court.

But at this time, Mao Wenlong was actually forced into a corner.

At this time, it has already passed the New Year, but ~, the first year of Chongzhen and the food and salary of the Dongjiang Department have not been sent down until now.

Li Yuanqing also suddenly remembered that at this time, Inspector Yuan not only supervised the battle in Liaoxi, Denglai and Tianjin, but also under his rule.

This time, from the entire logistics, Inspector Yuan has already controlled the Dongjiang River, including Changsheng Island, the lifeblood of the official level.

After discussing with Chen Zhong, Chen Zhong also said that he wanted to meet Mao Wenlong in the shortest possible time, and everyone would discuss it together, even if they couldn't think of a way, at least, they had to ventilate first, so that everyone knew in their hearts.

Li Yuanqing thought about it for a long time and finally agreed to Chen Zhong's plan.

However, Li Yuanqing told Chen Zhong that it was okay for the two of them to go to Phi Island, but~, each of them had to carry five thousand elites with them to ensure that in the event of an accident, there would be room for withdrawal.

Although Chen Zhong felt that this was a little inappropriate, after thinking about it carefully, he also understood Li Yuanqing's good intentions, and quickly agreed to this plan.

The two only rested for one night on Jeju Island, and then went directly to Phi Island by boat.

…………

Compared with the north, although the Liaohai Sea is also frozen, this is a small thing.

On the Liaohai side, the freezing is only a little bit of the offshore, and it will not exceed one or two miles at most, but in the north, it is normal to freeze ten miles and eight miles, or even completely freeze.

At this time, although the situation is crisis, Li Yuanqing's mood is excellent when he sees the most familiar scenery on the Liaohai Sea again! ~

This is the land of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the place where he Li Yuanqing was born, grew up, and started a family!

It's like the first sentence of the Declaration of Human Rights: "Private property, sacrosanct!" ”

His Li Yuanqing's inheritance is that he and his brothers exchanged their lives for it, no matter who it is, if they want to take it easily, how can it be so easy?

Early in the morning of the 24th day of the first lunar month, the fleet arrived at Phi Dao without incident.

Mao Wenlong had already gotten the news in advance, and came over early in the morning to wait on the dock.

Li Yuanqing carried 500 personal soldiers, and Chen Zhong also carried 500 personal soldiers and walked ashore quickly.

Mao Wenlong couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this scene.

But Li Yuanqing stepped forward quickly, saluted Mao Wenlong respectfully, and whispered a few words in Mao Wenlong's ear.

After a while, Mao Wenlong also came back to his senses, couldn't help but smile and nodded emphatically, and said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, this matter is good." Sometime will remember. Great oaks from little acorns grow.. Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded with a smile and said no more.

Behind him, Chen Zhong hurriedly stepped forward to greet Mao Wenlong.

After Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong saw each other, they also understood Li Yuanqing's deep meaning, and did not invite Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong to his official hall, but quickly ordered his own soldiers to clean up in an idle military camp on this side of the dock for the three of them to communicate.

Seeing Mao Wenlong transform so quickly, Chen Zhong couldn't help but be a little speechless.

He originally thought that when he came to see Mao Wenlong, the two of them still brought so many personal soldiers, no matter what, they couldn't talk about it.

Unexpectedly, Li Yuanqing's few words changed Mao Wenlong's mind.

After taking a break from Mao Wenlong's free time on the road ahead, Chen Zhong hurriedly said in a low voice: "Yuanqing, you, what did you say to the big marshal just now?" ”
