Kneel down and beg for all kinds of support, thank you for the boat. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Jisheng nodded, Mao Wenlong's side, Li Yuanqing was not too worried.

As the old saying goes, 'Hades is easy to send, but imps are difficult'.

The difference in realm and identity also determines that their vision must be different.

When Chen Jisheng left, it was almost 9 o'clock, Li Yuanqing asked Caizi to book a room in the inn in the backyard of the restaurant, and came directly to Mao Wenlong's official hall.

Mao Wenlong hadn't rested at this time, he was writing the desk, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he put down the pen in his hand and smiled at Li Yuanqing gently, "Yuanqing, why did you come here at this time?" ”

Li Yuanqing hurriedly knelt on the ground, "General, I am here to ask for guilt because of my humble position." ”

Mao Wenlong frowned, but quickly relaxed, "You get up and speak first." ”

Although they have not known each other for a long time, Mao Wenlong already knows Li Yuanqing's temperament very well, although Li Yuanqing is not very old, he is old-fashioned, and at the same time cautious, which is quite similar to him when he was young. How could such a person do something rebellious?

Therefore, hearing that Li Yuanqing said that he was here to ask for guilt, Mao Wenlong was not too worried.

Li Yuanqing didn't dare to get up, and hurriedly described the night attack on the Chao~ Fresh Salt Farm to Mao Wenlong in detail.

For a hero like Mao Wenlong, hiding and tucking in, but falling into the inferiority, it is better to be happy and honest, after all, no one knows the state of existence under his command better than Mao Wenlong himself.

Mao Wenlong's brows couldn't help frowning tightly when he heard this, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Li Yuanqing is like a good baby who has made a mistake, and he doesn't dare to come out.

Frankly speaking, for Mao Wenlong himself, Li Yuanqing not only admires, but also admires.

Needless to say, Chen Jisheng has already reaped enough dividends from the surprise attack on Zhenjiang, even Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong, and Li Yuanqing.

But Mao Wenlong himself is still alone.

With his identity, as long as he reveals a little bit of style, even if it is just a concubine, the gentry and landlords of Zhenjiang City are still not allowed to send their daughters over?

But Mao Wenlong didn't do this, all his energy was focused on Zhenjiang's official duties.

This is a man who really has a lot of ravines in his heart. Just like his lifelong ideal----- 'no waiting, no swearing'.

After a long time, Mao Wenlong let out a long breath of turbidity, and his eyes softened, "Yuanqing, this matter is difficult for you." ”

Li Yuanqing's heart warmed, and his eyes were a little red, "General, the matter has been done, if there is any responsibility, the humble duty is willing to bear it, and there will be no complaints." ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head, "Yuanqing, you don't have to worry about this matter. There is no evidence, and the people of Chao~ dare not come nonsense. Get up. ”

Only then did Li Yuanqing dare to stand up and stand beside Mao Wenlong carefully.

Mao Wenlong said: "Put you in Chao~ Xian, I'm really in a hurry." You're still young, and you can't take care of a lot of things yet. Tell me what you think. ”

Looking at Mao Wenlong's blazing eyes, Li Yuanqing knew that Mao Wenlong had seen through his mind, and hurriedly said: "General, your eyes are like a torch, and you admit that you do have your own selfishness. Whether it is Yizhou, Longchuan, or Tieshan, they are all located in the rear area, and they can't fight head-on with the Tartars, and they really don't want to waste time in this kind of place, generals, they want to follow you and the Tartars with the real sword ~ gun. ”

Seeing Li Yuanqing say what was in his heart, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but smile, "Yuanqing, you rarely have such a direct time." However, this is the case with young people. Don't always be anxious about other people's thoughts. Dare to dare to fight. Put you in Chao ~ Xian, thinking about it in hindsight, a certain is also a little anxious. These days, you are in Chao ~ Xian, what do you think? ”

In fact, the task given to Li Yuanqing by Mao Wenlong is like the establishment of a base behind enemy lines in the rear of the Japanese army in the later generations, and there are no qualitative data requirements for this task, and the most basic thing is to gather the population, convince the people, and pave the way for the main force to be stationed in the future.

Frankly speaking, if Li Yuanqing does his best, he will naturally not do this badly.

After all, although there is not much food, the soldiers and the common people work together, dig some wild vegetables, hunt some wild beasts, and sneak a little food, everyone can eat a little less, and they can cope with the past.

But at this time, the environment of our army in the afterlife was different.

This is the era of pure cold weapons, the deterrent power of the post-golden cavalry, it is simply incomprehensible, although the little devils implemented the three-light policy against our China and created a no-man's land, but after all, they had entered the modern civilization at that time, they no longer had humanity, and they would never dare to slaughter the city openly, and they must take care of the international influence.

At this time, Houjin wild boar skin was still a completely barbaric slave and tribal state, and every time a city was captured, it was bound to be burned, killed and looted, and almost every city must be slaughtered. After Salhu, whether it was Fushun, Tieling, Kaiyuan, or later Shenyang and Liaoyang, they did not escape this fate.

In this state, even if Li Yuanqing gathers a population of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands, it will still have no effect in front of the Houjin Iron Cavalry.

This is like a flock of lambs without minions, which can only be slaughtered by the Eight Banners cavalry.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing used all his energy on the more than 1,000 soldiers under his command, and only when they grow up is the guarantee for Li Yuanqing's life.

The sages said, 'If you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world.' ’

If you can't protect yourself, how can you save the people?

At this time, in the face of Mao Wenlong's question in a broad sense, Li Yuanqing thought about it for a long time, and then said: "General, there are indeed many feelings of despicability. Whether it is Chao~Xian or Zhenjiang, it is actually a bitter cold place. Although the officers and men of our army are brave and the hearts of the people are attached, it is really too difficult to fight against the fierce Eight Banners Iron Cavalry in this projectile land. General, according to the humble position, we must obtain the support of the imperial court, only when the imperial court increases its support for our army, the sons and daughters under our command will have stronger combat power, and in the face of crises, there will be more choices. ”

Mao Wenlong let out a long sigh, "I don't know anything about this." But Yuanqing, you must know that the imperial court also has the hardships of the imperial court. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, "General, Jiannu on the northern front has been defeated by our army, in the short term, there should not be much war on the northern front, but the Tong family on the western front is not dead, but they have been disabled by our army, and in a short period of time, they should not be able to gather too much energy." General, I still want to stay in Iron Mountain for a while, and now it is autumn, and the sea fish is the time when it is fat, and I want to catch more fish and make salted fish for the needs of our army. You can also train in your spare time. ”

Mao Wenlong nodded, "Yuanqing, it's good that you have this idea." You can do this. However, the issue of food and salary, in a short period of time, I will not be able to take care of you. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, "General, we are now in the most difficult stage, I believe that if we survive this time, the imperial court will definitely give us support." ”

…………

Leaving Mao Wenlong's official hall, Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity.

Mao Wenlong pinned his hopes on the imperial court, but if he waited until these bigwigs in the imperial court finished the verbal battle and really started to implement it, I am afraid that the daylily would be cold.

The situation in Zhenjiang at this time can only be solved by Zhenjiang itself.

Fortunately, Mao Wenlong has always maintained the initiative in the military, temporarily stabilized the overall situation, and the local gentry in Zhenjiang were also appeased.

But in this state, if the imperial court wants to let Mao Wenlong expand the results of the war, I am afraid it can only be a fool's dream, and if he takes a wrong step, he is likely to lose even the current situation.

Li Yuanqing believes that with Mao Wenlong's wisdom, it is impossible for him not to see this, as long as he can maintain this year, in the spring of the next year, no matter how good the court is, it should also be expressed.

The Mao Wenlong Department of the Zhenjiang Guangning Army is probably in this state at present.

For the general trend, Li Yuanqing is powerless to provide Mao Wenlong with some salted fish, which is already the limit of what he can do now.

However, as far as Li Yuanqing's ministry itself is concerned, Li Yuanqing has absolute control, and only when there is a country can there be a home, and only when there is a family can there be a country, this dialectical problem is obviously more critical to Li Yuanqing at this time.

If there is hope, there will be seeds.

…………

Although Caizi booked a room in the restaurant, Li Yuanqing was not interested today, so he took her on the horse and returned to the camp overnight.

Back at the camp, the sky was already bright, Caizi was a little tired, Li Yuanqing asked her to rest first, and he beckoned Wang Hai over to speed up the pace of fishing.

Before, Wang Hai used more than 100 people from his headquarters to participate in fishing, but now, Li Yuanqing directly ordered Wang Hai to gather 400 people, all boats participated, three shifts and two shifts were rested, and all staff participated in fishing around the clock.

The salted fish is very simple and has little technical content, just disembowel, wash, and then marinate it with table salt.

If conditions permit, you can also dry the salted fish for a period of time, the taste will be better, and the salt taste will be more sufficient.

Wang Hai was ordered to do it, and Li Yuanqing personally dispatched and commanded, after all, with Wang Hai's influence, it was difficult to achieve the highest efficiency in this matter.

The effect of full mobilization is extraordinary, and at the end of the day, the harvest is very gratifying, almost 5 or 6 tons of fresh fish.

Wang Hai explained to Li Yuanqing that according to the current fish market, they would have at least ten days, and Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed to have such a harvest.

This time, as long as it can last for ten days, there is a 5 or 60 tons of salted fish, which is enough for more than 10,000 people under Mao Wenlong to eat for several years.

In terms of salt, Li Yuanqing has already found a way, that is, the salt farm of Mi Yizhen that he copied last time, and now it has resumed operation, and it is not like a high-quality salted fish in later generations at this time, so it does not need to be so delicate and good salt, as long as it tastes, can be eaten, and can fill the stomach, it is enough.

Under Li Yuanqing's strong attitude, all the work was quickly put into operation, and the next day, Shang Lao Liu also rushed back from Tieshan, and with him, there was also a cart of the grain transportation team.

In Li Yuanqing's big tent, Shang Lao Liu was extremely unhappy and said: "Yuanqing, these dogs are too black-hearted, and the price they give us is two percent higher than the market price, and it is all last year's grain." These shit, I really want to kill them with a knife. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, but he didn't get angry, "Brother Shang, this is also human nature. These Chao~ Xian people are not rich in the first place, and if we are caught by such an unjust leader, we must not be stabbed? It doesn't matter, I'll let them earn this money. ”

Shang Lao Liu also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but smile, "Let them earn a little first, and sooner or later, we will take back the principal with interest." ”

…………

On September 17, the first year of the Great Tomorrow's Apocalypse, the weather was good, and Li Yuanqing's crazy fishing plan had been going on for three or four days, and everything was going very smoothly.

In the morning, Li Yuanqing, who had just eaten the fish soup made by Saiko, was about to go to the boat to have a look, but saw several clippers in the north rushing over.

The person who came turned out to be Chen Zhong.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Chen Zhong said two pieces of news to Li Yuanqing.

One is the remnants of the Tong family, who are on Shicheng Island, the island where Mao Chenglu and their fierce battles took place before, the Tong family is trying to rebel against the residents on the island, and Chen Zhong is on the order of Mao Wenlong this time to go to exterminate them.

The other is more concerned about Li Yuanqing than this news.
