Chapter 1 ~ Shenyang City
~~~~~~~
"Brother Yuanqing, this, these dog tartars, they, will they really attack the city?"
On the towering city walls of Shenyang City, the cold wind is bitter, and there is still a faint mixture of fine snow. In the distance www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, there are all kinds of colorful flags stacked on top of each other, and you can't see the edge at a glance, especially the bright yellow flag that is faintly visible in the center of the pole, which is particularly dazzling, it is the king flag of the lord of Houjin and the old slave Nurhachi.
At the entrance of the blue-gray city wall, a short and thin boy forcefully withdrew the snot that was about to flow out into his nostrils, and looked at the tall young man called 'Brother Yuanqing' next to him with some trembling, I don't know if it was too cold or too frightened in his heart.
Li Yuanqing's eyes habitually narrowed slightly, and he looked at the Houjin camp not far away, and a faint sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Shunzi, no." The city of Shenyang is thick and thick, and there are tens of thousands of troops of my Ming Dynasty guarding it, unless these dog tartars have wings, how can they attack it? β
"Huh? That's good, that's good. By the way, Brother Yuan Qing, are these dog tartars really three-headed and six-armed monsters? β
The boy named Junko was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and he obviously didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.
Li Yuanqing smiled slowly, and was about to speak, but there was a cramp in his heart, coughing a few times, and coughing up a few traces of thick phlegm with blood.
Junzi hurriedly supported Li Yuanqing's body, "Brother Yuanqing, your injury is not healed, be careful." Let's take a break. β
Li Yuanqing waved his hand, leaned on the battlement with some difficulty, and looked into the Houjin camp scattered not far away.
In fact, Li Yuanqing is not a person who really belongs to this world, but a soul from 500 years later.
In later generations, Li Yuanqing was a powerful futures merchant who played medicinal materials all the year round on the vast port line in southern China.
At the age of sixteen or seventeen, Li Yuanqing ran from his hometown in Luzhong Mountain to the Special Economic Zone, worked hard for more than ten years, climbed all the way up, and his career was entering a vigorous rising period, and the marriage date with the female doctor of South China Normal University was officially put on the agenda.
But who knows, after a hangover with a few customers, everything~, but the appearance has changed.
Right now, it's March 12 of the first year of the Great Apocalypse.
Just after winter, the old slave Nurhachi couldn't wait, and after a few moves, the soldiers of the whole Jin clan, nearly 100,000 adults and young people, known as 200,000 troops, launched a spring offensive against the Ming Dynasty.
And this first stop is Shenyang City, the heart of Liaodi----.
Although Li Yuanqing is from the lowest grassroots, and his education level is a little unacceptable, his charming and lovely fiancΓ©e is a top student in the history department.
Although it is only some skins, Li Yuanqing has a clear understanding of the overall situation in his heart.
The history of later generations has proved that neither Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, nor Yuan Yingtai, the governor of Liaodong, did not have a very good strategy for the spring offensive of Houjin.
The loss of Shenyang City was only in the morning and night.
Originally, Li Yuanqing also thought about escaping from this place as soon as possible, but unfortunately, this body was just a lowest-level soldier, and before, he was seriously injured when he fought with others, and he couldn't leave if he wanted to.
In later generations, although he was in an era of peace, Li Yuanqing's eating business was more cruel than the real war, and if he was not careful, his life would be light. Along the way, such examples, Li Yuanqing has long been unknown.
But ~~, as the old saying goes, the greater the danger, the more opportunities there will be.
The reason why Li Yuanqing chose this 'head pinned to the waistband of his trousers' in later generations was that he was unwilling to be ordinary, unwilling to sell his labor force cheaply, and he was confused all his life, and he couldn't understand it, just as Chen Sheng and Wu Guang shouted in Daze Township back then: "Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind?" β
The end of the Ming Dynasty was a troubled era, but at the same time, it was also the most important node in Chinese history in the past 5,000 years.
Not even, not one.
Advance, can lay the foundation of hundreds of years of overlordship, retreat...... The history of later generations has proved that the negative influence of the Braided Dynasty cannot be completely eliminated even in the era when the scientific and technological civilization was so developed in later generations.
However, although there are a lot of thoughts in his heart, Li Yuanqing deeply understands that no matter what he does, he must eat the meal one bite at a time, and the road must be taken step by step.
It is said that Li Yuanqing was still a wounded soldier at this time, and he should not have gone up to the city wall to defend the city, but the approach of the Houjin army, the entire Shenyang City was already in the rumor.
Li Yuanqing's top boss and team officer Li Kaixuan can still take care of so much, as long as he is still panting, he will all pull to the city, claiming that 'the city is in the people, and the city is dead.' β
How can the little arms be twisted over the thighs?
Born at the bottom, Li Yuanqing naturally has a deep understanding of this, and his ability to adapt to the environment is far beyond ordinary people.
It's just that, looking at the Ming soldiers around him who are unclothed, emaciated, and carefully hiding behind the city wall to avoid the wind, Li Yuanqing's heart is already half cold.
However, there are losses and gains.
Although Li Yuanqing's body was injured at this time, he was tall and strong, full of strength, extraordinary martial arts, and only 20 years old, in this regard, it was much stronger than Li Yuanqing, who was 'tested' every day in later generations.
This is mainly the previous owner of this body, who has been an orphan since he was a child, has been brave and ruthless since he was a child, the sky and the earth are big, and he has the largest full stomach, and he has chased chickens and dogs for a piece of meat. Fighting with someone? That's not even a drizzle.
Because of this, his physical condition is far beyond ordinary people.
This is also the most important harvest of Li Yuanqing's rebirth for more than half a month.
"Lift your spirits to the god, the Tartars rush in, and no one can run away."
At this time, Li Kaixuan, the officer of the team and a hundred households, walked over quickly with a few family members.
The soldiers around Li Yuanqing suddenly stood up in the cold wind like mice seeing cats, respectfully. There were a few sick old men who looked like they were about to die, and even if they couldn't stand up, they hurriedly saluted Li Kaixuan.
Li Kaixuan was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and glanced around a little arrogantly, he had three points of land per acre.
For him, as Li Yuanqing said to Shunzi before, the city of Shenyang has thick walls, plenty of grain and grass, and tens of thousands of troops to guard it, and the Tartars just want to fight the autumn wind, and the surrounding small villages and towns are enough to send them off this group of 'called Huazi'.
"Enough gruel at noon. When the Tartars are killed, you may be rewarded with some broth. Li Kaixuan said, arching his hand in the direction of the city, not knowing which adult it was.
The 'beggar gang members' at the head of the city couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they hurriedly patted Li Kaixuan's sycophants, "Thank you, sir." β
"Thank you, Li Tou."
"Li Tou, don't worry, as long as there is broth to drink, we will definitely die for our lives."
Looking at the faces full of hope around him, Li Yuanqing staggered his gaze slightly, and let out a long breath of turbidity.
Soon, it condensed into a puff of white smoke in the air, and then dissipated.
This era has entered the Xiaoice period, the weather is much colder than later generations, and it often snows, and it is not the kind of healthy heavy snow, but some hail and sleet similar to the disaster nature of later Tibetan areas. Li Yuanqing has been reborn for more than half a month, and it has been raining three 'snows' in a row.
At this time, Li Yuanqing was better, he still had a torn cotton jacket on his body, and a tattered mandarin duck jacket on the outside, barely able to shelter from the wind and cold, but these people around him, except for Li Kaixuan and several other family members, were still human, well-dressed and well-armored, and the rest of the people were really not as good as dogs.
The dog also has a coat of hair to protect against the cold.
At this time, Li Kaixuan happened to see Li Yuanqing's small action, and couldn't help but smile, "Li Er was stunned, how is the injury?" Do you dare to kill the Tartars? β
Maybe because it is his own family, or maybe it is because Li Yuanqing is extraordinary, Li Kaixuan does not look down on Li Yuanqing like ordinary 'beggar gang members'.
Li Yuanqing smiled hurriedly and said flatteringly: "Thank you Li Tou is worried." The minor injuries have healed a lot. As long as the Tartars dare to come up, the small ones will definitely cut off a few Tartar heads. β
Li Kaixuan didn't expect that Li Yuanqing, who had always been like a stubborn donkey, would actually open his mind and say pleasing things, so he couldn't help laughing, "Okay." Li Er was stunned, as long as you cut off the head of the Tartar, I will definitely ask for credit for you. β
Li Yuanqing was just about to say something flattering, when an earth-shattering sound of horses' hooves sounded in the direction of the Houjin camp opposite.
Shenyang City is surrounded by plains, coupled with the cold wind raging at this time, this 'Da Da Da' is very melodious, like a landslide like the sound of horses' hooves, like thunder, clearly into everyone's ears, everyone's expression, has also changed significantly.
"The day he is a bare land, is the Tartar of the dog really going to attack the city?"
Li Kaixuan's face was also a little unnatural, but after all, he was a superior person, so he quickly adjusted and said in a loud voice: "The oil and gold juice are boiling, and the stones and wood are ready to be sharp." Damn, the dog Tartar dares to come to the city and greet Lao Tzu to death. β
But as he spoke, he walked briskly towards the stairs not far away, "Hurry up and get to work." Lao Tzu went over there to take a look. β
Li Kaixuan quickly took his family down the city wall, and disappeared, and the city wall quickly operated, some went to carry stones and rolling wood, some went to burn gold juice, and the people under the city wall also quickly got busy, moving all kinds of materials to the city.
Li Yuanqing also came to a cauldron, stuffed a handful of firewood at the bottom, took out the flint, and lit it carefully.
The name of the golden juice is also good, but in fact, it is a mixture of all kinds of dung, which is simply very smelly.
After this thing is boiled, the taste is even more pungent, and if it is poured on people's bodies, according to the medical conditions of the current era, the consequences can be imagined.
Even, it is not impossible to kill directly.
"Brother Yuanqing, this, this gold juice stinks too much. Let's go over there and lift the logs. β
Shunzi's name Zhang Sanshun was Li Yuanqing's neighbor in his early years, the eldest brother and the second brother starved to death, and died of illness.
Although the predecessor Li Yuanqing is brave and ruthless, because he is a neighbor, coupled with the relationship between Zhang Sanshun's sister Zhang Yunniang, he usually takes good care of Zhang Sanshun, and many times, Zhang Sanshun can also follow Li Yuanqing to eat and eat, which is Li Yuanqing's only little brother and friend in this world.
At this time, hearing Zhang Sanshun's words, Li Yuanqing shook his head, "Shunzi, follow me, don't run around." β
Zhang Sanshun saw that Li Yuanqing said solemnly, and he didn't dare to play a child's temper anymore, so he hurriedly pinched his nose and carefully followed Li Yuanqing's side.
At this time, although the cauldron was foul-smelling, the fire burned up, but it dispersed the cold wind and snow and brought people a strong warmth.
And although Li Yuanqing doesn't have a definite plan in his heart, he wants to escape, that's for sure.
Taizu famously said, 'Only by preserving yourself can you better fight the enemy.' β
At this time, Shenyang City will definitely not be able to defend this state.
'Die before you get out of school'?
Li Yuanqing is not a fool, and he will definitely not take his own life for those bowls of broth that are afraid that there is no half a piece of meat.
Although the gold juice stinks, there is a firelight here, it is very warm, and there are people around to bring firewood, Li Yuanqing and Shunzi only need to burn firewood, which can save physical strength to the greatest extent and deal with various changes at any time.
Soon, as the deafening sound of horses' hooves approached, the battle formation of the Houjin army could already be vaguely seen in the vast land below the city wall.
Under the flag, they all rode horses, coupled with the relationship between the so-called 'eight flags' of the old slave, all kinds of flags were colorful, waving with the wind, just like a juggling circus.
However, Li Yuanqing did not dare to underestimate them, because in this era, they were the strongest, most ferocious, and most combat-effective bandit armed group in the entire East Asian region.
As the battle formation of the Houjin army got closer and closer, at this time, there were also shocking drums in the direction of the city.
Not long after, there was a sudden fierce sound of horses' hooves under the city wall, and Li Yuanqing hurriedly looked back and saw a silver-helmeted and all-armored general, with a dense array of elite cavalry, had come to the city gate.
"Are they going out of the city to fight?"
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be clever, and after a moment, he understood it, and he couldn't help scolding in his heart, "Confused." At such a time, how can you get out? β
But Li Yuanqing is not the commander-in-chief of Shenyang City after all, what can he say and what can he do at this time?
I could only watch as the city gate opened, and the general with more than a thousand elite cavalry, like a proud fighter, swarmed out of the city gate.
