~~~~~~

In a moment, a stout man with a spear in his hand walked out of the sequence of the 1,000th Corps on the far left, ran briskly to the top platform, and knelt down respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing, "Niu Ziqiang, the first commander of the 1,000th Corps, has seen the general!" The general prince Wandai, in good health! ”

Li Yuanqing laughed and walked off the high platform, strode in front of Niu Ziqiang, and patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "Brother Niu, thank you for your hard work!" ”

Niu Ziqiang was so excited that he was so busy kowtowing to Li Yuanqing that he couldn't help it, "Being able to serve the general and follow the general to kill the Tartars is a blessing that can only be cultivated after ten lifetimes of humble service!" ”

Li Yuanqing laughed and helped him up with his own hands. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The master of ceremonies behind him hurriedly sang, "Niu Ziqiang, the first chief of the 1,000th Corps, killed 3 Tartars in the Battle of Fuzhou, and killed 4 Tartars in the battles of the North, plus his hard-working, fair and resolute, and a special reward of 15 taels of silver!" ”

Next to him, there were already soldiers and the account office who weighed the silver with scales, put it in a small red cloth bag, and respectfully handed it to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed it to Niu Ziqiang, "Brother Ziqiang, this is your reward!" ”

Niu Ziqiang held the heavy red cloth bag, happy and excited, and hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing desperately, "I am willing to die for the general!" ”

Li Yuanqing touched his head affectionately and said with a smile: "Good man!" Let's go down! ”

"Yes!"

Niu Ziqiang bowed deeply to Li Yuanqing again, and in the admiring eyes of everyone, he happily ran to his queue.

At this time, the master of ceremonies on the stage sang loudly: "The 1,000th Corps, the first chief soldier Li Guohai ......"

…………

The reward lasted for six days before it was processed, but this did not include the sons and daughters of Fuzhou, Jinzhou and Xiharwei.

For every son, Li Yuanqing must personally encourage them and personally deliver the silver to them.

And Li Yuanqing's wife Zhang Yunniang, his wife Qu Minqiu, and his favorite concubine Wan'er must also be present every day, holding their children and greeting the soldiers.

With the completion of the reward, Changsheng Island completely turned into a sea of joy.

And the scale of this reward exceeded Li Yuanqing's expectations, and in the end, only the cash that went out reached 650,000 taels.

The soldiers of the Changsheng Battalion on Changsheng Island at this time can almost get an average of 10 taels per person.

As for the salaries of the auxiliary soldiers, they will also be issued later, in this regard, Li Yuanqing still insists on doing it himself, although he is tired, it is for him to grasp the entire Changsheng Island more firmly in his hands.

For a while, the restaurants on Changsheng Island were instantly full, and every household was also full of lights, which was even more lively than the New Year.

For example, cloth shops, rouge and gouache shops, the business is also full all of a sudden, the men have money, and the women have the opportunity to love beauty and choose.

But the soldiers could cheer and celebrate, at this time, in the front yard of the official hall of Changsheng Island, the abacus of dozens of bookkeepers was 'crackling', and they had not had time to rest for several days, but this was still far from enough.

Although Li Yuanqing and his sons and daughters were happy with this reward, the deficit in the treasury was also quickly exposed.

According to preliminary estimates, at this time, Li Yuanqing's inner treasury plus the outer treasury could use less than 20,000 or 30,000 taels of cash.

The exact number will take time to count, but it will never be more than that.

Fortunately, Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu still had more than 200,000 yuan in cash, and the business on the island was booming at this time, so Li Yuanqing first drew 100,000 taels from them for emergency relief.

But in terms of accounts, they are all trivial matters, and at this time in the official hall, Li Yuanqing was drinking tea with Wei Liang, the prison guard.

"Huh. Father-in-law, this is Pu'er from Yunnan, or the last time I was in Beijing, the emperor rewarded me. Li Yuanqing looked at Wei Liang's eyes with a smile.

Wei Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "General Li has made another great contribution on this trip to the north, presumably, the emperor's holy family will be even more grand." ”

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Father-in-law, the merits of the humble position, no matter where you go, will have half of you." ”

Wei Liang smiled and said, "General Li, you know, the miscellaneous family, the miscellaneous family, it is also very difficult!" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Father-in-law, I'm a person, I guess you know it very well now." As long as my friends are in the ribs, even if they stick a knife in their ribs, I, Li Yuanqing, have no complaints. But~~, any enemy of mine, even if he goes to hell, I will never let him go free! ”

Li Yuanqing said in the end, his tone was like ice in the depths of the Northland.

Wei Liang was stunned for a moment, and said with a busy smile: "General Li's loyalty to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor is simply visible every day. The miscellaneous family is deeply aware of General Lee's loyalty. The miscellaneous family believes that the emperor will also understand. ”

Li Yuanqing laughed, casually pulled out a pocket from under the table, and put it in front of Wei Liang, "Father-in-law, you also know that the lowly position is now also a swollen face and a fat man, although the silver is not much, but the right to be a lowly position." ”

Wei Liang carefully took the cloth bag and glanced at it carefully, it was almost on the scale of twenty thousand taels.

At this time, Wei Liang also knew about the financial situation of some of the Changsheng Camp at this time, and Li Yuanqing was definitely a big deal, and said with a busy smile: "General Li's benevolence and righteousness are remembered by the miscellaneous family. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered a few words into Li Yuanqing's ear.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Father-in-law, don't worry about this." Tomorrow, you can let them leave for Beijing first. ”

How cunning is Wei Liang?

In an instant, he understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and said with a smile: "That's the case, then the miscellaneous family will not disturb General Li's rest." Miscellaneous farewell. ”

"Father-in-law, go slowly!"

Li Yuanqing kept sending Wei Liang outside the door, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Although this reward has raised the morale of the children of the Immortal Camp to the top, to a certain extent, Li Yuanqing has gone too far.

Changsheng Island only knew that there was him Li Yuanqing at this time, how could he have known that there was still the emperor and the imperial court?

However, Wei Liang was sensible, so the matter was suppressed for most of the time.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing shouted outside the door: "Niu Gensheng! ”

"Humble duty!"

After a while, Niu Gensheng walked quickly in front of Li Yuanqing and whispered respectfully, "General." ”

Li Yuanqing waved his hand, and Niu Gensheng hurriedly attached his ear to Li Yuanqing's side.

Li Yuanqing whispered a few words in a low voice, Niu Gensheng nodded again and again, and said in a low voice: "The lowly position understands, and the lowly position will be done immediately." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Let the old brothers do it, you must be clean and neat!" Got it? ”

"Yes! Humble duty understands! ”

Niu Gensheng hurriedly left.

Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and was just about to turn around and go to the inner study to rest for a while, when Lotus Root came over with a bowl of lotus seed porridge, pouted and said dissatisfiedly: "It's so late, why don't you go to rest?" Tonight, it's finally my turn. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, took the porridge and took a sip, the temperature was just right, and the sweetness was just right.

Li Yuanqing casually grabbed Lotus Root's small waist, took her little hand and walked to the inner study, "My little fifth lady, what's wrong?" Can't wait now? It's not too late, right? ”

Lotus Root was told that she was in her heart, her pretty face couldn't help but turn red, and she whispered: "Yesterday you went to Wan'er, but you went before it got dark." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, he couldn't think that this would work......

After a moment, he smiled and said, "Let's go to the inner study to rest for a while." ”

How could Lotus not understand what Li Yuanqing meant, her pretty face turned red, "I'm going to die." What if the first and second ladies come over? ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and was about to speak, but at this time, there was a report from his own soldiers outside the door: "General, the letterhead of General Chen of Guangludao." ”

Li Yuanqing turned around, glanced at Lotus Root, and asked her to wait in the inner study first.

Lotus stomped her feet dissatisfied, but she also knew that Li Yuanqing had something to do, so she hurriedly went to the inner study first.

After a while, the soldiers handed Chen Zhong's letter to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing took the letter, glanced at it, and couldn't help but show a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Chen Zhong is coming over tomorrow, and it just so happens that the brothers can discuss the requirements of the generals of the Dongjiang headquarters.

When she came to the inner study, she was sitting on the bed with a small fan and fanning the wind.

It was around 8 o'clock, which was the hottest time of the night.

Li Yuanqing stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Lotus Root's small waist, hugged her and sat on his lap, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?" Can't wait? ”

Lotus Root didn't expect Li Yuanqing to come over so soon, her soft body was directly tired of Li Yuanqing's arms, and she smiled in a low voice: "You still know each other." Drink the porridge, let's go back and rest. ”

Li Yuanqing's big hand had already wrapped around the placket of Lotus Root's clothes, gently teasing the delicate fullness that was already very familiar, and whispered a few words in Lotus Child's ear.

Lotus Child's pretty face instantly turned red, and she whispered, "You're crazy." If, if someone is seen, then, it's not a shame. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Don't worry." My little fifth lady. No one will see it. Let's just go to the top of the rockery to blow the wind. ”

Lotus Root was not fooled, "Then why don't you ask your Wan'er to accompany you?" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled: "Wan'er is Wan'er, who doesn't know, my lord, what hurts me the most is my little fifth lady." When I was in Quang Ninh City, I only took a look at her, and I was so fascinated by her that I was almost dreaming about it. ”

"Flim Flam."

Lotus Root took a sip gently, ashamed and happy, and did not refuse again.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, took the lotus's little hand, and came to the rockery in the middle courtyard.

His ladies, although Caizi occasionally does this with him, but Zhang Yunniang, Qu Minqiu and Wan'er don't think about it.

Liu Qiao and Shu Murong are both pregnant, and only Lotus Root is the most suitable.

And this little girl was spoiled by Li Yuanqing, but Li Yuanqing believed that after the first time, she would definitely fall in love with this place.........

…………

In the early morning of the next day, under the order of Wei Liang, the superintendent of the army, seven people, including Xu Xianxian, the chief flag of the hundred households, Ma Shan, the general banner, and Liu Chuanlei, the small flag officer, took a fast boat and returned to Beijing first.

It has been almost ten days since Li Yuanqing returned to Changsheng Island, and the reward for reporting has basically drawn up a rough plan, and they will go to the Jingshi first to inform the Jingshi side.

The clipper boat is the boutique of the sailors of Juehua Island, and it only takes a little more than two days to reach the mouth of Dagu day and night.

On the bow of the boat, Ma Shan smiled and flattered Xu Xianxian: "Master, this Li Yuanqing is really too arrogant." This simply doesn't take the emperor seriously. Wei Liang, the old dog, had already colluded with Li Yuanqing, and he didn't know how much benefit he had from Li Yuanqing. This time, when we return to Beijing, we must ask them to eat as much as they want, and spit it out twice. ”

Xu Xianxian's face was a little gloomy, he turned around and glanced at the several Changsheng Battalion sailors who were traveling with him, and said in a low voice, "Shut your dog's mouth." Don't want to live anymore? ”

Ma Shan was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood, and hurriedly turned around to look at Changsheng Island, which had disappeared from view behind him, and said with a flattering smile: "Master, the wind is good today, at noon, let's grill a few fish to eat?" ”

Xu Xianfeng smiled and nodded, "It's okay." However, it is necessary to trouble the brothers. ”

As he spoke, he hurriedly came to the side of a few sailors of the Immortal Battalion behind him, and said with a flattering smile: "Brothers, this weather is good, why don't we catch a few fish to eat?" ”

A sailor of the Immortal Battalion hurriedly smiled and said, "If Master Xu likes it, he will prepare immediately." Xu Ye rested here for a while, and came when he went. ”

With that, the sailor hurried back to the cabin.

Xu Xianfeng smiled slightly, looked up at the sea in the distance, and said in his heart: "There is no master here, there is a place to stay here!" Li Yuanqing, don't look at your current scenery, hehe......"

But at this moment, an exclamation suddenly came from the cabin, "Oh no, the cabin is leaking!" ”
