Chapter 216: Pull the Shen family into the water

~~~~~~~

Shen Mansion is located in the north city of Dengzhou and is a large mansion covering an area of nearly 20 acres. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Shen Yourong invited him, Li Yuanqing naturally couldn't visit empty-handed, so he ordered his soldiers to go to the street to purchase some supplements and medicines as gifts, and presented a gift of 200 taels.

Li Yuanqing has reached a compromise with the Shen family, and Shen Gongzi naturally can't let Li Yuanqing suffer, so he sent him away after giving him the ninety or fifty taels of silver.

Li Yuanqing didn't have much interest in this singing girl, and the reason why he saved her was just to see her pitiful, but now that he was like this, he couldn't let go of it, so he asked his soldiers to find an inn nearby to settle her down.

After everything was cleaned up, Li Yuanqing walked into the gate of the Shen Mansion.

In the Shen family's guest hall, Shen Yourong greeted Li Yuanqing quite warmly, and Shen Gongzi became a boy serving tea and pouring water.

Shen Yourong is nearly seventy years old, and he has been fighting horses all his life, and he has achieved brilliant results.

Liaodong border troubles, anti-Japanese aid to the DPRK, pacification of Taiwan ~ Bay, and pacification of the Japanese invaders, including the current Liaodong Houjin Shiqi, Shen Yourong is on the front line.

The bright generals in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, Li Chengliang, Li Rusong, Li Rubai father and son, Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, he all fought side by side with them.

For such a real veteran, a 'living fossil' general figure, Li Yuanqing is also very admirable, and he also deliberately welcomes him.

They are all common characteristics of soldiers, and soon, the atmosphere has become warm.

Li Yuanqing was also fortunate to listen to Shen Yourong talk about some of the big battles of the year and the demeanor of the generals.

"Hey. It's a pity that things are not people. If Li Shuai is still here, why is he so arrogant? Speaking of the current situation in Liaodi, Shen Yourong couldn't help but slap the table and let out a long sigh.

Li Yuanqing said: "The old slave is also a hero. It started with only thirteen deputy soldiers, and by now, it is a big tail. The war in Liaodi is not optimistic. ”

Shen Yourong nodded thoughtfully, and asked about Li Yuanqing's new war in Liaodong in the recent period.

Li Yuanqing also carefully described to him some of the circumstances of the Midsummer Offensive, including the defense of Lushun.

Shen Yourong pondered for a long time when he heard this, "I have personally experienced the combat power of the Jurchens in the early years, and now, they have established a country, and their power is probably even better than in the past." Yuanqing, the burden of your generation is very heavy. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded emphatically, and asked Shen Yourong some questions about the war in the southeast, and Shen Yourong answered them one by one.

Soon, it was already dinner, Shen Yourong warmly invited Li Yuanqing to have a banquet in Shen's mansion, and asked Shen Jin, the son of Shen, to prepare the banquet.

Li Yuanqing was not polite, and nodded in agreement.

He came to Dengzhou today to have a banquet in the Shen Mansion to rescue Zhang Cambodia and create time and space for Guan Canghai to rescue Zhang Khan Bai.

The two exchanged some views on the current general trend of Liaodi.

Shen Yourong has rich experience in the battle array, and to a large extent, he also does not approve of the fortification and advancement strategy in western Liaoxi, which is not only time-consuming and costly, but actually does not have much effect, and to a certain extent, he also has a lot of complaints about Mao Wenlong's defection to the eunuch party.

Li Yuanqing also understood that Shen Yourong was on Yuan Keli's side, and it was naturally impossible to be too close to the Dongjiang River, but his position was quite critical, and the Denglai Sailor was stuck in the material lifeline of the Dongjiang River, and the food, allocation, and rewards of the imperial court had to pass through his boat before they could go to Phi Dao.

When they met for the first time, Li Yuanqing naturally couldn't get too entangled in these matters, and instead turned the topic to a more professional military level, carefully asking Shen Yourong for advice on his experience in naval warfare.

Shen Yourong didn't leave his hand behind, and answered Li Yuanqing one by one.

Soon, the banquet was ready, and Shen Yourong admired Li Yuanqing's personality and talent very much, and in order to show respect, he recruited his children and grandchildren back.

Shen Yourong has eight sons, except for the eldest who is now staying in his hometown of Xuancheng, Anhui Province to guard the family business, the other children and grandchildren are all in Dengzhou and serve in the Denglai Water Division.

Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to draft the water, this is also the choice of the Ming generals.

Shen Jin, the son of Shen Yourong, is the sister-in-law of Shen Yourong's sixth son, Shen Shouchong, and Shen Yourong's favorite grandson, who is only 20 years old this year.

Li Yuanqing looked at Shen Jin's performance tonight, and he already knew that this guy was pretending to be a good baby at home, but outside, he completely changed his appearance.

However, this guy will also disguise, but if he can be so free, he must still be under the protection of Shen Yourong.

No one is a saint.

Shen Yourong came to lick the calf, and Li Yuanqing could also understand it.

Although this Shen Jin is stubborn, he is not a stubborn person, and the lesson that Li Yuanqing gave him today must also make him stop for a while.

The Shen family is very arrogant and drinks a lot, but most of them are mediocre, and the only high-ranking person is Shen Jin's father Shen Shouchong, who is now the deputy general of the Denglai Water Division, and should also be Shen Yourong's successor.

"General Li, there are many offends of dogs today, and a certain generation of this unsuccessful kid has made amends to you." Shen Shouchong held the wine glass and came to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and said, "Sixth Master, you are tormenting your little brother." If you don't fight, you don't know each other. To be able to meet a friend like Shen Gongzi, the younger brother is also happy. ”

Next to him, Shen Jin couldn't help but scold, Li Yuanqing said casually, he was a generation higher than him, but Li Yuanqing gave him face, how could he not give Li Yuanqing face?

Hurriedly smiled: "Being able to get acquainted with General Li, Shen Jin is fortunate to have three lives." ”

When the grievances were resolved, the atmosphere became more enthusiastic, and the Shen family took turns to toast Li Yuanqing, and Li Yuanqing did not refuse, which made the Shen family feel Li Yuanqing's pride.

Shen Jin is also more than admired, although he is the same age, but Li Yuanqing's skills, he is simply difficult to beat.

Shen Yourong is old after all, although his energy is okay, he still can't compare with young people, after drinking a few glasses of wine, he is already tired and goes back to rest.

The feast has become a stage for the younger generation.

But the amount of alcohol in the Shen family was obviously not the opponent of the long-tested Li Yuanqing, and after a while, he got drunk and was sent back to rest by the servants.

It's that Shen Jin's son-in-law is quite conscious, "Hehe." General Lee, let's have another drink. ”

"Huh. Brother Shen, you are drunk. Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, signaling Shen Gongzi to rest for a while.

Shen Jin didn't entangle, and greeted Li Yuanqing with a smile.

At this time, a personal soldier came to Li Yuanqing's side and whispered a few words.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, Guan Canghai's side was very smooth, he dragged the Shen family in the Shen Mansion, and the sea defense line was much looser, and Guan Canghai didn't make much effort to successfully take Zhang Cambodia and his party away.

Shen Jin smiled: "I don't know what makes General Li so happy?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Shen, you say, what business is the most profitable on the ground of Denglai?" ”

Shen Jin was stunned, he didn't expect Li Yuanqing to be so open-minded, he already had seven or eight points of alcohol at this time, and couldn't help laughing: "General Li, fighting, you are better than me, but when it comes to business, you definitely don't know how to do it as well as me." Ha ha. What do you say is the most profitable thing to do in Denlai? Do you need to ask? Of course, it's private salt. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Denglai does have a geographical advantage. I wonder if Brother Shen has a way in this regard? ”

Although the Shen Mansion occupies a large area, Li Yuanqing can see that the Shen family is not very wealthy.

Even if the Denglai Sailor has the power to control the benefits of the Dongjiang grain and salary, the benefits of the Dongjiang River are too small after all, and Yuan Keli, a group of civil officials, wants to take the lion's share, and there are very few people who fall on the Shen family's side.

After all, they didn't dare to be too blatant, clearly unable to get along with the Dongjiang River, and committing the taboo of the imperial court.

Li Yuanqing can also feel that this Shen Gongzi is actually not too generous.

As soon as Shen Jin heard Li Yuanqing's words, he also woke up most of the wine, and couldn't help laughing: "General Li, you, what do you mean?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Shen, you should also know." The Dongjiang River is barren, the imperial court has little food, and it is difficult for the brothers to eat and drink Lazar, so it is difficult to subsidize their families. ”

Shen Jin also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and his excitement could not be concealed: "General Li, are you trying to ......?"

Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "In this regard, I have to do Brother Shen a favor for me and show me and my brothers a clear way......

…………

Li Yuanqing did not choose to stay in the Shen Mansion, but returned to the inn that the soldiers had set up nearby.

Back at the inn, Guan Canghai was already waiting here, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he hurriedly reported the incident to Li Yuanqing, "General, this Cambodian white is indeed a fat sheep, and the goods on his body are worth at least 150,000 taels." ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "Don't worry about this matter, you have to eat the rice one bite at a time." Or according to the original plan. As for Kuroshima, in the future, it is necessary to try to be as restrained as possible, focusing on intelligence exploration. By the way, Canghai, there is one more thing, you inquire a little. ”

Li Yuanqing whispered a few words to Guan Canghai.

Guan Canghai nodded again and again.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's not too early." The sons and daughters are also tired, so let's rest early. ”

Guan Canghai also smiled, "Yes." Retired from his position. ”

When she returned to the room, she found that the singing girl was trembling and waiting by the bedside, and when she saw Li Yuanqing coming, she hurriedly got up, "Master, slave, slave and maid are here to serve you." ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "You don't have to be like this. You are now free. Go wherever you want. ”

She knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately, "Master, don't you want to be a slave?" The slave and maid just want to stay with the master, and they can be cows and horses. ”

Li Yuanqing frowned slightly, this woman is also shrewd.

It's just that she looks average and comes from the wrong way, Li Yuanqing didn't have much interest, so he sent her to make the bed and sent her to take a bath.

After washing his face and lying on the bed, Li Yuanqing's body and mind gradually relaxed.

The position of the Shen family is quite critical, Shen Yourong has a close relationship with Yuan Keli, Li Yuanqing does not have enough capital at this time, so he pulls Shen Yourong into the water and maintains the same position with the Dongjiang River or Changsheng Island.

But this Shen Jin Shen Gongzi is a person who understands and understands everything.

Li Yuanqing has already seen how much Shen Yourong loves Shen Jin, as long as Shen Jin walks in and can get benefits, he will not worry about Shen Yourong not taking the bait.

Denglai has been peaceful for hundreds of years, and various interests have long been solidified.

Shen Yourong only came to Denglai in the middle of the first year of the Apocalypse, while Yuan Keli came later.

Yuan Keli wants to cherish his feathers, and it is impossible to blatantly move too much against Denglai, Shen Yourong's side, relying on Yuan Keli's support, naturally it is impossible to make too many moves.

Shen Gongzi Shen Jin has a sentence that is not wrong, in Denglai, the most profitable business is private salt.

It's a pity that with his energy, he can't do it if he wants to.

But on Li Yuanqing's side, there are places and people, whether it is Changsheng Island, Guanglu Island, Lushun, or the surrounding islands, there is everything, but there is no shortage of seawater.

With Zhang Cambodia's 30,000 taels of silver, Li Yuanqing's urgent need has been solved, and there are many Liao people in Dengzhou now, which are all ready-made resources.

At this time, "Ah~~~." Help me. Suddenly there was an exclamation from a female voice next door, which was extremely miserable.
