At dawn the next morning, the army set foot on the road to Gaizhou on time.
Last night, the horse meat of more than 1,000 war horses was almost completely 'wiped out', and today, even if the road is urgent, but with the replenishment of yesterday's sufficient horse meat, even the women and children do not have too many problems with their physical strength.
Li Yuanqing was also in a pretty good mood, riding on a tall brown war horse, scanning the long dragon slowly heading south with a huge team.
It's been a few days since the flood, the ground has dried up and solid, and the procession is huge, but it finally doesn't have to go deep and shallow in the mud.
In addition, there are not many materials that everyone carries with them, and they are basically light and simple, according to expectations, they can arrive in Gaizhou City in the evening.
Through the news from the Gaizhou reinforcements, Li Yuanqing also roughly understood the cause of the flood.
This is supposed to be a localized harsh microclimate caused by a storm at sea that swept inland.
Fortunately, Gaizhou City is in a good location, and it is mostly a no-man's land, so it has not suffered too much damage.
After Chen Zhong led the elite of his headquarters to break off behind his back today, Li Yuanqing also had more time to think about how to go next.
On this trip, although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not accurately complete Mao Wenlong's request to delay the plan of the main force of Houjin, it was from the beginning of May to the end of May, which is close to a month, and it is by no means less.
Coupled with the impact of the flood, the old slave and the main force of the Houjin must also need time to rest and adjust, this time, in addition to the positive white flag of Huang Taiji, Mao Wenlong should not be affected by the other main forces of the Houjin.
According to Mao Wenlong's shrewdness, even if Huang Taiji is eloquent and strategic, Li Yuanqing still believes that it is basically impossible for Huang Taiji to catch Mao Wenlong.
Especially in the mountainous area of Kuandian.
This early summer offensive in the fifth year of the Apocalypse is almost coming to an end.
On this trip, although there were not many tangible material gains, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong emptied Haizhou City and plundered more than 30,000 dingkou.
This time, Haizhou, Gaizhou, plus Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and the southern four guards, have basically completely become 'no man's land'.
Gaizhou.
There should not be much room for the old slave to pursue.
After all, Gaizhou is close to the sea, and it is too close to Changsheng Island, so it will be exposed to the soldiers of Changsheng Island at any time.
According to the state of affairs at this time, the old slave must not dare to jump out, pick Li Yuanqing's trouble, and find himself unhappy.
As for Haizhou.
There has been the invasion of this flood, and there is no longer half a human hair in Haizhou at this time, I am afraid that even a mouse will not be born, the old slave wants to restore the vitality of Haizhou, and there is no time for a few years, so don't even think about it.
However, before getting accurate information about Mao Wenlong on the Eastern Front and finding out the movements of the main force of the Qing slaves, Li Yuanqing did not plan to leave Gaizhou City easily.
Including the battle report of this battle, he also had to plan carefully before he could make a decision.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
The journey was very smooth, and in the evening, the team arrived outside Gaizhou on time.
In the rear, although many Houjin sentinel detectives followed like thieves, they always maintained a distance of three or four miles, or even more than four or five miles, from the Ming army, and never dared to rush forward again.
For these Houjin sentinel detectives who are skilled in equestrianism, Li Yuanqing didn't bother to pay attention to them.
Let the old slave be able to grasp his own preparations, and it can also make this old thing more at ease, and if you want to make a decision, you have to think about it carefully.
When they returned to Gaizhou again, the soldiers were in a good mood.
But Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not have much time to rest, and their return to Gaizhou was just the beginning of another new battle.
First and foremost is the issue of camping and bathing.
Needless to say, the officers and men of the two departments said that Li Yuanqing's one-sentence order would reach the ears of every grassroots soldier in less than a quarter of an hour.
But these Han slaves, women and children are really a headache.
Especially all the way around, from Haizhou City to the present, no one has the opportunity to take a bath, and the health problem is really worrying.
Fortunately, the weather was hot at this time, and the men could go directly to the river to bathe, saving some trouble.
As for the women and children, Li Yuanqing ordered the sappers to build several rows of straw huts for them overnight to serve as bathrooms.
It also increased the intensity of boiling hot water to ensure that everyone, after bathing and changing clothes, would enter the city of Gaizhou and not bring germs into the city.
From the evening to the end of the day, things went on track, and Li Yuanqing finally had some time to rest.
However, there are so many people that it will take at least three days to get everything done.
But at this time, he was already in Gaizhou City, backed by the sea and the fleet, Li Yuanqing was already not false at all, and the old slave and the main force of Houjin dared to come here to find trouble for him.
Back in the official hall, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong had already prepared a supper for Li Yuanqing.
The dish is very simple, a large plate of crispy fish, a plate of salted fish fried eggs, and a plate of fried shredded radish.
The continuous consumption of such a large number of people, coupled with the war and the loss on the way to retreat, the grain and grass on the Gaizhou side are not too abundant.
Liu Qiao hurriedly and obediently poured a glass of wine for Li Yuanqing, "Master, you are tired all the way, you can drink a glass of wine to relieve your fatigue." β
Li Yuanqing took the wine glass, took a sip lightly, and looked at Liu Qiao and Shu Murong: "Qiao'er, Mu Rong, this battle has also worked hard for you." β
Liu Qiao hurriedly said: "It is the greatest honor of the servant to be able to share the worries of the master." β
Shu Murong was also busy begging: "Master, don't say that, you can serve by your master's side, and the maid's heart is happy." β
As Li Yuanqing's women, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong are much higher than ordinary people in terms of treatment, although they do not have carriages, but they have horses to ride, although the retreat is a little frizzy, but they are not too hurt and tired.
Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "The difficulties have passed, everything will be fine." Come, let's have a drink together. β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
After a simple supper, Li Yuanqing didn't have much time to enjoy the warmth of his wife and concubine, he walked quickly to the front yard of the official hall, where Chen Zhong had been waiting for him for a long time.
In the past few days, the high-intensity migration work has been highly tense, and even an iron man like Chen Zhong can't hold on.
He reclined on the Taishi chair in the official hall, and said to Li Yuanqing with a smile: "Yuanqing, I originally wanted to have a good drink to celebrate, but this body is like it is about to fall apart." What the fuck. β
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, we are not iron men, we need to rest after all." There's not much going on tonight, so let's settle down a few major events first. β
This trip to southern Liaoning was planned by Mao Wenlong.
In terms of the imperial court, although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have been recorded, at this juncture, Li Yuanqing does not want to report his merits too early.
There are several main reasons for this.
At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were already commanders-in-chief, and each had a rank, invisibly, in the military territory of Liaodi, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had steadily pressed over Liaoxi, not to mention the Dongjiang side, in terms of military ranks, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were already on the same level as Mao Wenlong.
As the saying goes, 'people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong'.
Especially at this time, in the middle of the court, Gonggong Wei is becoming more and more prosperous, and the eunuch party has now basically suppressed Donglin.
Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, as members of the 'eunuch party', need to be even more cautious at this time.
Li Yuanqing was very clear.
At this time, 'in full swing', to a large extent, is not a good thing.
Gonggong Wei, who was born in a small peasant and is very good at calculating his life, is different from the future Emperor Chongzhen.
His purpose in wooing Li Yuanqing is very clear,------ that is, because Li Yuanqing can win the battle.
To a large extent, it can add to his political chips.
For a long time before, Li Yuanqing also grasped this point, and with the help of Sun Chengzong, he climbed all the way, jumped out of the Dongjiang River, and formed his own line with Chen Zhong in southern Liaoning.
But by this time, the situation has changed.
The so-called 'plan ahead'.
When Father-in-law Wei was in full swing, it would be a little unwise to hug Father-in-law Wei's thighs again.
As the saying goes, 'things must be opposed'.
Not to mention, Li Yuanqing is familiar with history, and he is clear and clear, and the good days of Gonggong Wei are no longer a few days.
Therefore, Li Yuanqing did not want to rush to the top of the news in southern Liaoning this time, but wanted to wait for the news from Mao Wenlong's side to come before making a conclusion.
Even, it is necessary to have more heads and give them to Mao Wenlong.
This kind of private political layout, commonly known as 'string of merit', is even comparable to rebellion, but for the sake of long-term consideration, Li Yuanqing also has to be cautious.
Of course, the most critical premise is that he and Chen Zhong firmly control the core of these two teams.
Chen Zhong quickly understood what Li Yuanqing meant, "Yuanqing, are you saying that our head should be evenly given to the marshal?" β
Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Not bad." That's what it means. Big brother, our brothers, you can say what you think. β
Although Chen Zhong is 'naΓ―ve', he is by no means stupid, otherwise, how could he go all the way to the present with Li Yuanqing?
Looking at Li Yuanqing's blazing eyes, Chen Zhong's physical exhaustion also dissipated at once, he thought for a while, and then said: "Yuanqing, you, you mean, let's not go to Grandpa Wei's side now......
Li Yuanqing smiled: "Big brother, it's not that we don't give Gong Wei credit." After all, we are still Wei's father-in-law's people. It's just that in this matter, it's best to let the big handsome head in front. After all, our brothers, whether it is prestige, means, or qualifications, are far from being comparable to the handsome! β
Of course, Chen Zhong understood what Li Yuanqing meant.
This battle was initiated by Mao Wenlong, and he and Li Yuanqing are both Mao Wenlong's old subordinates.
In addition, on the part of Father-in-law Wei, even if the two of them are a little more famous, according to his old man's temperament, it is impossible to give the two of them too many practical benefits.
It's better to give this head work to Mao Wenlong and the brothers in Dongjiang.
"Yuanqing, I have no opinion on this matter. Besides, these more than 1,500 heads, most of them were cut down by the sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp, Yuanqing, what do you do, I am on your side. However, if we do this, we may lose money in this battle? β
Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Chen Zhong's shoulder: "Big brother, between you and my brothers, there is no need to lie. As long as there are people, what is the silver? Big brother, don't worry, I will make up for the loss of this battle for you as soon as possible! β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Chen Zhong left, but Li Yuanqing fell into deep thought.
Although the previous words were already very clear, Li Yuanqing suppressed the core point, a problem that he didn't want to think about, but had to face formally.
At this time, although he and Chen Zhong were at their peak, the Ming Dynasty was still the world of literati!
The Ming Dynasty's imperial martial arts, as long as it is in the year of the Apocalypse, will not be shaken in the slightest.
Before, in many things, Li Yuanqing had touched the taboo of Inspector Yuan, and at this time, Sun Chengzong was already crumbling, and the eunuch party was so rampant, if Li Yuanqing touched Inspector Yuan's bad luck again, then ~~, he must not be recorded in the little black book?
At this time.
To a large extent, Li Yuanqing is actually worthy of Inspector Yuan.
In other words, if Li Yuanqing wants to force Inspector Yuan to step down now, or even, 'kill' Inspector Yuan and beat him into a catastrophe, the difficulty is actually not as difficult as imagined.
After all, Sun Chengzong has not stepped down yet, and Sun Yuanhua has not been forced away by Inspector Yuan.
However~~, Inspector Yuan is a talent!
If there is no him to break this rule and teach others to be people, then ~~, how can Li Yuanqing gather the Dongjiang River and obtain higher rights?
