In a flash, the time had come to the beginning of December of the seventh year of the Apocalypse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

There has been news in the capital, and after the New Year, a new era name will be used, and it will be the first year of Chongzhen.

In these days, after Li Yuanqing's hard work like an old cow, the fluctuations in the back house have been steadily suppressed by Li Yuanqing, and in terms of government and military affairs, the conscription work has basically ended, and the recruit drill is in full swing.

The banking affairs are basically cleaned up, and they only need to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac next year.

And the most critical matter of retribution, after careful discussion between Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, Yang Miaocai and other generals, also decided on the final plan, that is, 'slow trickle, from small to large'!

Chen Zhong, as a representative of southern Liaoning, will work with Yang Miaocai to go to Beijing to report his merits with 500 Tartar heads.

Because Li Yuanqing was still entangled in a lot of chores, he had to wait until mid-December and when there was news from the Beijing division before he marched to Beijing.

This time, during the Chinese New Year, Li Yuanqing is destined to not be able to accompany his wife and children. But at this time, when the new emperor ascended the throne, Li Yuanqing obviously couldn't help but give Zhu Youzhen this face.

On the wharf, Li Yuanqing personally sent Chen Zhong and his party to disappear from view, and together with Shang Lao Liu, they got into the carriage back to the city.

Shang Lao Liu understood Li Yuanqing's worries, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, the new emperor has ascended the throne, the new year and the new atmosphere, I think, he shouldn't be too difficult for us." Even if you are not promoted, you will definitely be given some of your financial rewards. You don't have to worry too much. ”

To this day, that is, Shang Lao Liu, still dares to talk with Li Yuanqing so intimately, like a friend. Even Chen Zhong, when facing Li Yuanqing, will pay attention to his words now.

It's no wonder that kings always describe themselves as 'lonely'. When I really got to this position, I realized, 'It's too cold in high places'.

However, Li Yuanqing and Shang Lao Liu did not have an actual conflict of interest in this regard.

Shang Lao Liu has only one daughter, because of Liu Chunhua's relationship, he did not take a concubine, to put it bluntly, in this era, like Shang Lao Liu, he has almost no desires, and assisting Li Yuanqing has become his biggest pursuit.

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood Shang Lao Liu's comfort, but he shook his head with a smile, "Brother Shang, I'm not worried about the new emperor. It's ......"

Although Li Yuanqing didn't finish speaking, how could Shang Lao Liu not understand what Li Yuanqing meant? "Yuanqing, you mean, Liaoxi?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Brother Shang, Lord Wang has been in office for a few months, and I haven't gone to see him yet, so I can't say it." ”

Shang Lao Liu had fully understood Li Yuanqing's arrangement at this time, and he couldn't help but be extremely amazed in his heart for a while.

It is no wonder that Li Yuanqing is not yet in the age of establishment at this time, but he has already accumulated such a large-scale foundation.

Draw inferences from one another, and connect them into a film.

In this regard, even if he is more than ten years older than Li Yuanqing, he can only bow down.

"Yuanqing, although we haven't met with Lord Wang, there is no shortage of battle reports and documents. As long as we bring more gifts here, presumably, Lord Wang will not find fault with them. By the way, Yuanqing, when are you going to leave? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Tomorrow." Tomorrow, go to Shanhaiguan first! ”

…………

After having dinner with a group of wives and children, Li Yuanqing came to the inner study, leaving only Xiaohe to serve by his side, picking up charcoal and writing and drawing on paper.

As the saying goes, 'a good brain is better than a bad pen'.

Today, with Li Yuanqing's identity and status, he is no longer a person.

To put it bluntly, let alone Li Yuanqing say a word, even a small action of his will become the direction of the wind for the people below.

Therefore, whether Li Yuanqing is a person or a worker, he must plan in an orderly manner and firmly grasp the general trend in his own hands.

Thinking about it with just your head is obviously better organized than having a brief outline.

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was the general of Zhenguo and the chief military officer of Changsheng Island, he was in charge of the war in southern Liaoning, but in fact, he was still a warrior and a mud leg.

This time, although the report and documents have been sent to Liaoxi in advance, the merit inspection has not passed through Liaoxi, which has actually destroyed the unspoken rules of officialdom.

But this kind of thing can't be sent directly to Liaoxi.

The plucking of geese has long been the consensus of the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty.

Li Yuanqing only reported a total of 500 Tartar heads on this trip, to be honest, it was enough to be honest. If you are stripped of a layer of skin by Liaoxi, it will be really unsightly in front of the new emperor Zhu Youzhen.

This is not that Li Yuanqing deliberately reduced the number of heads and deliberately did not give face to Liaoxi, mainly because the structure of Liaoxi is too complicated.

Now in the war in Liaodi, Huang Taiji has implemented a strict defensive strategy of contraction, and it is no longer like a few years ago, when the two sides 'misfire' can trigger a large-scale battle between the two sides.

Li Yuanqing is not so easy to get the head of the Tartar now.

As a result, resources are limited.

Li Yuanqing obviously can't 'cut meat and feed eagles' like before, to feed the gangsters in western Liaoning.

But after all, Liaonan is under the rule of the governor of Liaoxi, even if both sides know it, this unspoken rule cannot be openly broken.

In history, why did Inspector Yuan risk the world's condemnation and take Mao Wenlong's head to sacrifice the flag?

The most critical point is that the headquarters of the Dongjiang River is under the rule of Liaoxi, but Mao Wenlong completely abandoned Liaoxi and unilaterally contacted the imperial court and Denglai.

In this way, there is already a big contradiction between the two sides, Mao Wenlong still doesn't know how to restrain himself, and if he doesn't give him Inspector Yuan's face, the two sides will go off the rails, which is inevitable.

At this time, Mao Wenlong is still doing his own thing, and even if he Li Yuanqing is more dazzling than Mao Wenlong's exploits, he always has to explain the past in terms of face.

To put it bluntly, Li Yuanqing hatefully befriended the vested interests in western Liaoning, but ~~, Wang Zhichen's face, he still has to give.

The reason why Li Yuanqing asked Chen Zhong and Yang Miaocai to go to Beijing first, on the one hand, was to be able to find out the wind direction of Beijing first and fine-tune the strategy according to the wind direction, and on the other hand, to take advantage of this time difference to go to Liaoxi first and take care of the affairs on the face.

For more than an hour, Li Yuanqing had already completely completed the plan, and carefully received the thick account book made of cowhide.

Xiaohe hurriedly and obediently put the account book into the package on the side, helping Li Yuanqing clean up and tidy up, so that Li Yuanqing could check it at any time.

Outside the window, snowflakes filled the sky and the cold wind howled.

Indoors, although it is warm as spring, the beauty is on the side.

It's just that although the virgin fragrance on Xiaohe's body smells good and attractive, Li Yuanqing's heart is always a little restless.

The arrival of the first year of Chongzhen also means...... The catastrophe is not far off......

…………

Early in the morning of the second day of December, Li Yuanqing bid farewell to his wives and concubines, and under the escort of 800 personal soldiers, he took five large ships and seven medium ships, and under the escort of ten fast boats, he rushed all the way to western Liaoning.

Today, the general trend is weird, and Li Yuanqing does not dare to be slack off on his own safety.

The size of the Spanish armed fleet with such a match, although it is a little wasteful, is to allow Li Yuanqing to attack and retreat, and even if he encounters an emergency, he can have enough initiative in the largest range.

On this trip, there were also Yang Jiao ~ Niang, mother and son, Yueniang, Li Liuli, and hundreds of people in Wuyu Pavilion.

After such a long delay, the reopening of the Fog and Rain Pavilion cannot be delayed any longer.

And the affairs of the Wuyu Pavilion are, to a large extent, also an important weather vane of the new Emperor Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards Li Yuanqing.

At this time, it was the coldest three or nine days, and although the journey was windy and cold, the fleet of the Changsheng Camp already had a lot of experience in this regard, and there were no obstacles at all.

The only difference is that the leader of the pro-soldiers around Li Yuanqing has been replaced by Niu Gensheng to Yang Lei.

Niu Gensheng was in charge of recruit training at this time, and anyone with a discerning eye could already see that when the new army was trained, Niu Gensheng, as Li Yuanqing's henchman, was promoted to the chief general of the first army, and he had not run.

Although Yang Lei is not as 'dexterous' as Niu Gensheng, this guy is by no means stupid, but he is more stable and old, which makes people seem to have no advantages.

But this guy is also a veteran who followed Li Yuanqing during the Sanchahe period, and because of his wooden character, to a certain extent, he is more trusted by Li Yuanqing than Niu Gensheng.

Five days later, the fleet successfully docked along the coast of Shanhaiguan, and Mangui had already received the news and braved the heavy snow to greet him in person.

As soon as they met, this guy gave Li Yuanqing a signature bear hug, and laughed: "Yuanqing, but I want to kill my brother!" ”

Li Yuanqing was also a little speechless about Man Gui, a brute bull, but Man Gui's sincerity also moved Li Yuanqing.

After a few words of greeting, Li Yuanqing and Man Gui braved the wind and snow, rode their horses, and chatted about the situation in the recent period of time as they walked.

Because there are many female dependents in the Fog and Rain Pavilion on this trip, in terms of the Changsheng Camp, there are dozens of carriages alone.

Fortunately, the carriage was equipped with advanced equipment, and the team was well manned, so there was no major problem at all.

Shanhaiguan Guancheng is not far from the sea, only a dozen miles away, but because the wind and snow are too big, Li Yuanqing and Man Gui are very communicative on the horse, and halfway through, both of them got into the carriage and talked.

Although Man Gui doesn't like carriages, inside, it's as warm as spring, and it's indeed much more comfortable than outside, and soon, this guy also adapted to this rhythm.

The two of them lit a cigar each, and Man Gui let out a long puff of smoke and said, "Yuanqing, the current situation in western Liaoning is even more complicated than before." ”

"Oh?"

Li Yuanqing looked at Man Gui's eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Gui, what do you say?" Is it possible, our lord, still want to take power? ”

Man Gui smiled, "Yuanqing, it's not that Lord Wang wants to take power. It's those dog crumbs outside the gate, these days, they are jumping more happily than the other. ”
