The sky was sprinkled with goose feathers and heavy snow, and the cold north wind whistled through, passing through the surrounding pine and cypress, as if it had been changed by a voice changer, and it was as cold as a ghost crying wolf. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the top of a hillside, almost 100 meters high, a high snow wall was piled up, and a watchtower with an excellent view was built on the snow wall, which could overlook the surrounding situation five or six miles away.

If the weather is good and there is no snow, it is not difficult to see more than ten miles away, or even farther away.

At this time, in the watchtower, several braziers crackled, dissipating most of the cold air in the room, and the room was very warm.

Li Yuanqing stood in front of the tall simple balcony, condescending, looking down at the scene in the continuous open space below the mountain.

At this time, in addition to Chen Zhong and the more than 10,000 Ming troops who went out to conquer the Turen tribes, the remaining more than 40,000 main forces of the Ming army, in addition to more than 10,000 auxiliary sailors, were building a new port in a wide bay at the same latitude as the mouth of the Heilongjiang River and Xiharwei, and all the main forces of the remaining Ming army soldiers were pulled by Li Yuanqing to this wide wilderness more than ten miles north of Xiharwei.

The snow in the venue has been cleared by the children, and the big tents surround the periphery, rolling and rolling sun, moon and wave flags, and the blood-colored red eagle flags of the immortal camp, one pole at a time, standing against the wind, and waving their heads in the cold wind.

At this time, it was about half past ten in the morning, and it was about to enter noon, and it was the time when the children began to run the big exercises.

Standing at this time, Li Yuanqing's perspective looked over, and the entire field of vision was full of scenes of bright red mandarin ducks running and exercising.

The sons and daughters took the general manager as a unit, a group of more than 100 people, shouting slogans while running and exercising in the huge field.

Even, some sturdy sons and daughters, at this time, their bodies were fully active, and they were directly naked, revealing their solid tendons.

At this time, the cold nights are extremely long, and the daylight hours are very short.

It was almost nine o'clock in the morning, and it was dark at night, and it was not until four o'clock, but the sky had already begun to darken.

There's not much time to do things in this kind of weather.

By Li Yuanqing's side, Joseph was careful to follow, looking at the scene below, especially those shirtless children, Joseph didn't know what it was like for a while.

What kind of commander there is, what kind of soldier there is.

These shirtless soldiers, all of whom are physically strong, are afraid that even compared with those sturdy old hairy people like savages, they will not give much to it.

Joseph finally understood at this time, why~~, Li Yuanqing dared to have such great courage to directly lead the army into this land where ghosts could not survive.

These soldiers of his, the ability to adapt, that is simply too strong.

"Dashuai, the situation is very good! If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't take another month. Our soldiers will be able to fully adapt to the bad environment here, and they can enter the vast hinterland of the Northland! ”

Joseph looked at Li Yuanqing flatteringly, and quietly presented a marginal, but reasonable sycophant.

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, but shook his head a little undeniably.

After a moment, Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Joseph, tell me what kind of state the Russians you have come into contact with." Or rather, your impression of these Russians. ”

Joseph hurriedly smiled and said, "Dashuai, what do you say?" These old hairy people, in the eyes of traditional European aristocrats, they are a group of turtle countrymen. It is not tolerated by mainstream society. However, in England, in France, including in the Netherlands, in Belgium, Spain and other mainstream countries, there are not a few Russians. It's all a bunch of stingy hillbillies. It is mainly engaged in the business of agricultural and sideline products. ”

"If it's a stereotype, they're really not very conspicuous. There's not much to impress either. If you want to say the biggest impression...... Hey hey ......"

Joseph smiled lewdly: "Dashuai, that's these old men, most of them are brave and ruthless, and they like to fight." And those old hairy women, especially young women, are all slender, especially since their skin is very good. It's just a pity, their rustic atmosphere is too heavy. However, it is also an unwritten fashion to be able to engage some of these old hairy women as lovers in European aristocratic circles. Hey hey ......"

Li Yuanqing smiled faintly, "Brother Joseph, as long as you serve me with peace of mind." It shouldn't be too far away to do something like an old hairy lover. ”

Joseph was overjoyed, and hurriedly licked his face and said, "Dashuai, don't worry." The lowly is always your most loyal servant. I believe that one day, we will be able to fight in Europe. When the time comes...... Hey...... I also hope that you can canonize a king to the lowly office......"

Li Yuanqing laughed and patted Joseph's shoulder hard, "You kid has a lot of appetite!" However, if you have an appetite, you will be motivated! Great oaks from little acorns grow.! As long as we are down-to-earth and walk steadily step by step, this day, I'm afraid it won't take long. ”

"Yes. Be. ”

Joseph nodded with a smile.

If Li Yuanqing had said such things before, Joseph would have thought that Li Yuanqing was talking big, and he didn't have anything to do with it.

But at this time, when he really understood Li Yuanqing's strength, especially Li Yuanqing's firm determination like a towering mountain, Joseph realized how powerful the man in front of him was!

There are many factors in a person's strength, but it does not necessarily show that he is a real strong person.

But ~~, a person is not only powerful and terrifying, but his mind is like a rocky mountain, which ...... How else does this make others play?

The only thing that made Joseph happy was that he was lucky, and he had already had a good friendship with this powerful man years ago.

At this time, Joseph's entire net worth, including his future and the future of his children, had long been inseparable from Li Yuanqing.

"That's right, Sir. The little accident that happened a few days ago, late last night, Xu Liang and the lowly discussed for a night, and a solution had been found. Marshal, if you have time, after lunch, we can go over and investigate. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was in a good mood, Joseph carefully explained his reason for today.

Li Yuanqing smiled and patted Joseph's shoulder affectionately: "I saw that there were red threads in your eyes, and I thought you were having a good time last night." Not bad. Since it's for business, it's naturally quite good. Let's do it after lunch. You go and clean up with Xu Liang first. If you do a good job, I will invite you to drink in the evening. ”

Joseph couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Commander, that humble post is waiting for the evening wine." ”

Only then did the elated fart depart.

Glancing at Joseph's back, the corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth also showed a relaxed smile, but after a while, his expression returned to normal, and his deep gaze looked ahead.

The progress in the north was not as smooth as expected, which really hurt Li Yuanqing's brain.

But ~, it is precisely because of this dissatisfaction that Li Yuanqing has more time, specifically on the details of the troops themselves.

As the old saying goes, 'If you lose your horse, you won't know if you're blessed.'"

At this time, although it is an arquebus, even under such extreme climatic conditions, the arquebus of the Ming army can already ensure that the safe firing rate is maintained at more than ninety percent.

In addition, the sons and daughters have basically fully adapted to the rhythm here, and Li Yuanqing already has the prerequisites for launching a large-scale battle here!

However, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.

At this time, if the Ming army wanted to find a large-scale battle, it could only pass through the vast Siberian wilderness to the Yenisei River and even further west.

Although the sons and daughters at this time already have the ability to travel long distances, Li Yuanqing will never be rash.

Because Li Yuanqing deeply understands, 'Rice must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step'.

The meat that you eat in your mouth is good meat. Otherwise, it's just a flash in the pan.

Old Maozi, after all, it's too far away.

He still has to grasp the front first, lay out the net in front of him, get more oil and water from the surrounding Tartar heads and small nobles, and then clean up these native tribes.

Then~~, and then go to plot something else.

At this time, perhaps it was broken through the clouds by the vigorous firepower of the children, in the east, the sky that had been gloomy was slightly clearer, and in the far east, the sun showed some heads, but on this side, the snowflakes were still drifting, which made people a little jaw-dropping.

The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.

As the famous saying of the great sage in Lao Maozi, 'Dark clouds can never cover the sun.' ’

Li Yuanqing stretched his hands and feet, and was about to go to the brazier inside to roast the fire and warm up, but at this time, Yang Lei rushed over and said in a low voice: "Dashuai, Liaodi is urgent." ”

"Huh?"

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this time, everything is very stable, what will be the emergency?

At this time, although Li Yuanqing was in the north, relying on the powerful intelligence system of the Changsheng Battalion, Li Yuanqing had been in control of the overall situation in southern Liaoning.

However, because of the long distance, even if it is an eagle letter, it will take about ten days to pass on a batch.

After Li Yuanqing's approval is completed, he will be sent back to Liaodi, and it will take at least a month and a half between this back and forth.

At this time, the last information was only received five days ago, and Li Yuanqing did not expect that the southern Liaoning side would send another intelligence so quickly......

"I see. Go down and rest. ”

Li Yuanqing patted Yang Lei on the shoulder, strode back to the tiger skin sofa by the brazier, and carefully opened the secret document.

Daisy and Gu Duo, who had been resting in the cubicle next to them, saw Li Yuanqing come out, and hurriedly took hot water to help Li Yuanqing make tea.

Although this watchtower is only Li Yuanqing's temporary office, Li Yuanqing's identity is placed here after all, although the sparrow is small, it has all five organs.

The use of ice and snow for construction has long been a tradition in the Northland.

The watchtower, which is made of wood and supplemented by snow walls, is in some ways stronger than ordinary stone buildings.

Of course, it is limited to working during the day, and if it is used to sleep at night, it needs to be carefully designed and adapted.

Li Yuanqing lightly took a sip of the fragrant tea that Daisy had just brought over, and only flipped through half a page of information, but his brows were tightly furrowed!

In a moment, he threw the information in his hand to the ground fiercely, his fists creaked, and he said coldly: "Shaft! Really, Li Yuanqing didn't dare to kill anyone! ”
