It was still very cold at the end of February.
The further north you go, the deeper you feel.
To the south of the Great Wall, all the way to Jingshi, there are few mountains, almost all of them are flat, which makes the north wind like a small knife, there is not much cover at all, and when it blows on people's faces, it is like cutting meat.
Coupled with a burst of snowflakes that come on time in the morning and evening, it will make people doubt their lives.
However, Li Yuanqing's spirit is excellent.
Although the gentle township is worthy of nostalgia, the cold north wind, the snowflakes, and the reckless terrain make his mind more open-minded and sober, and at this time, it is far from the time to enjoy himself.
Six days later, on the fifth day of the third month, Li Yuanqing once again came to the front of the towering Shanhaiguan wall.
Jingshi is less than 1,000 miles away from Shanhaiguan, to be precise, about 700 miles.
If it is 800 miles in an expeditious way, it can be reached in one day and one night.
It's a pity that although Li Yuanqing has a little silver at this time, he is far from being wealthy, especially for the war horse under his crotch, for fear of losing more horsepower.
The Mongols are too bad, and they basically won't sell them to Daming breeds ~ horses, and the horses that Daming can buy on the market are either mares or stallions after being castrated.
A large number of mares have reached the ~ estrus period, and can only be wasted, at most, that is, to produce some mules to maintain transportation.
After learning from the pain, Li Yuanqing had to make a difficult choice, wanting to change the passivity of the Ming army, wanting to further strengthen the advantages of the combat effectiveness of the Changsheng Battalion, and obtaining breeding ~ horses, even excellent stallions, which is already urgent.
At this time, there was the harvest of the Battle of Zhenjiang, and Li Yuanqing happened to have a lot of silver on hand, even if the Mongols were dark, he could only endure it temporarily.
Shanhaiguan is no stranger to Li Yuanqing, and he has been going back and forth here many times in the past few years.
It's a pity that Li Yuanqing came unfortunately, Sun Chengzong was in Qiantun at this time and was not here. Li Yuanqing had to go out first.
The soldiers handed over Li Yuanqing's name post, where did the soldiers guarding the pass dare to stop it? It was soon released.
But Li Yuanqing and his entourage were just about to walk to the gate, when a team of soldiers on the opposite side rushed over.
People on both sides were stunned, and they froze on the spot.
The leader of the other party was wearing a general's robe, in his early thirties, with a very burly figure and a pair of bright eyes.
At this time, he also saw Li Yuanqing's general military robe, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Yuanqing also came back to his senses at this time, and said with a faint smile: "Let's go back first, let them pass first." ”
As he spoke, Li Yuanqing took the lead in riding out of the pass.
How dare Niu Gensheng's pro-soldiers slack? They rode out one after another, and the pass fell for a while.
The general on the opposite side couldn't help but be stunned, obviously he didn't expect that the dignified chief officer on the opposite side would actually make way for him.
At this time, he suddenly saw the big flag raised by Li Yuanqing's personal soldier standard-bearer, and his eyes lit up.
After a while, he hurriedly said to the soldiers around him: "Sons, you go back first, let them pass the customs first." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly rode his horse and rushed to Li Yuanqing's side, hugged his fists respectfully, and asked in a trembling voice: "Dare to ask the general, but Li Yuanqing, the chief soldier of Changsheng Island in southern Liaoning?" ”
Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's Li." I don't know my brother's surname? Where do you work? ”
According to Li Yuanqing's identity, it is a matter of course for the general to give way to Li Yuanqing and his personal soldiers, even if there is a conflict, a fight, or even a death, Li Yuanqing has enough room for maneuver.
It's just that Li Yuanqing doesn't like to be prestigious, and he doesn't like to be pretentious to his own people.
Especially at this time, Sun Chengzong was still in the post of Liaodi Economic Strategy, and it was reasonable for Li Yuanqing to give Sun Chengzong some face.
However, Li Yuanqing didn't expect that the general in front of him, who was obviously the general of the Guan Ning Army, would be so respectful to himself, which made him a little stunned.
When the general heard that Li Yuanqing had confirmed his identity, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, hurriedly turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general Shanhaiguan General Huang Long, I have seen Li Shuai!" Li Shuai, in this battle of Zhenjiang, you really played the majesty of my Ming Dynasty! ”
"Huanglong? Yellow Dragon. ”
Li Yuanqing read a few words of this name, and suddenly felt a little indescribably familiar, and for a moment, a lightning bolt seemed to pass through his mind, and he hurriedly said: "Brother, you, you are Shanhaiguan General Huang Long?" ”
Saying that, Li Yuanqing had already turned over and dismounted, and was about to come over to support Huang Long.
Huang Long couldn't help but be stunned, he was simply flattered, he didn't expect that he would have such a big face, and he could let Li Yuanqing, who was already famous all over the world, support him, and said respectfully: "Li Shuai must not be humiliated, he will come by himself." ”
Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, "Brother Huang is really a cheerful person." See you today, we are really fate! ”
Huang Long hurriedly laughed and stood up, "It is the greatest honor to be able to meet Li Shuai here." The biggest long-cherished wish of his life has finally come true. ”
Both of them laughed.
After a brief chat with Huanglong, Li Yuanqing can basically determine in his heart that this ~~ should be the Huanglong in history.
Yellow Dragon.
In the vast history of the stars at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it is really not very outstanding, and many people have never even heard of this name.
But in fact, the entanglement between this person and Dongjiang ran through the entire post-Dongjiang era after Mao Wenlong's death.
After Mao Wenlong's death, it was Huang Long, as the chief military officer, who was parachuted into Phi Dao to 'fight fires', suppressed several rebellions, and stabilized the situation on the Dongjiang River.
It's a pity that Mao Wenlong's death has already been a fluctuation in the hearts of the people.
Although Huanglong is considered upright, no matter the means, scheming, or prestige, how can he compare with Mao Wenlong?
Soon, the Dongjiang River was defeated, and Huanglong retreated to Lushun.
In the end, he was sent to the Yalu River because of the main force, and was seized by the Houjin and broke through the city of Arthur in one fell swoop.
This is also what sets Houjin apart from many nomads.
For the officers of the Ming Dynasty, even if they win, they will first give the Ming officers a chance to surrender, instead of directly raising the butcher's knife.
In the process of the Manchu Qing Dynasty's entry into the Central Plains, it was precisely because this policy was spread that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was invincible and quickly pacified the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty.
Among them, Li Yongfang, Sun Degong, and Liu Aita can be regarded as the first batch of pioneers, and Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyu, Shang Keyi, and Shang Kexi in history are the second wave.
It was they who established the reputation of the Manchu Qing in dealing with Han generals.
To a large extent, Huanglong is a tragedy, a tragedy of 'moths to the fire' under the leadership of Inspector Yuan.
How can the pool of water in the Dongjiang River be reconciled by outsiders?
It's a pity that Inspector Yuan guessed the beginning, but he didn't guess the ending, and he himself didn't see the cause and fruit planted by him.
chatted with Li Yuanqing for a while, Li Yuanqing showed extraordinary charm in his words and behaviors, and Huang Long admired Li Yuanqing even more, and immediately took Li Yuanqing to Guancheng for a good drink.
Li Yuanqing smiled a little helplessly: "Brother Huang, it's not that the junior brother doesn't give you face today, it's really an urgent matter, and the junior brother has something important to meet with the elder pavilion." Let's go on another day. If he has time in the future, we will definitely drink 300 cups, and we will not return home if we are not drunk! ”
Huang Long also knew at this time that Li Yuanqing was in a hurry from Beijing, and he must have important military affairs, although he was helpless, he didn't dare to entangle anymore, and hurriedly hugged his fists respectfully and said: "Li Shuai, what a pity!" However, if you pass by Shanhaiguan next time, you must be sure to inform the lowly duty! The humble will sweep the couch to greet each other, and drink three hundred cups with Li Shuai! ”
Huang Long was originally going to patrol the defense, and he didn't care about military affairs, he took his more than 100 personal soldiers and sent Li Yuanqing and his party out of the gate for more than ten miles, and then he reluctantly watched Li Yuanqing and his party leave.
Looking back at the figure isolated on the war horse in front of him getting smaller and smaller, Li Yuanqing's heart was also a little dazed for a while.
Perhaps, you can explain that there are no generals at the end of the year, because they are not bright enough and do not have enough ability to change the general trend of history, but you can't deny that there are no good men at the end of the Ming Dynasty!
It's a pity that for all kinds of reasons, the blood of these good men was directly regarded as disgusting filth by the adults, and they were thrown aside without hesitation......
If there is no Li Yuanqing, Huang Long will definitely repeat his tragedy, but at this time, Li Yuanqing's existence, the world has changed, how can Li Yuanqing let him spill the blood of Lushun City like in history?
"Drive!"
Facing the cold north wind, Li Yuanqing's mind suddenly became clearer, he twitched the horsewhip vigorously, and the horses under his command, like the wind, drove rapidly towards the north.
…………
Two days later, in the Qiantun official hall, Li Yuanqing successfully met Sun Chengzong.
Sun Chengzong seemed to be a little older than when Li Yuanqing saw him before, but his spirit was not bad.
He smiled and invited Li Yuanqing to sit down, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, how is it?" In Jingshi, you don't have a temperament, right? ”
Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Sun Chengzong was referring to? Hurriedly smiled: "Ge Lao, with you in charge of the humble position, the humble position is not afraid of anything." How can you bother with those mad dogs? ”
Hearing Li Yuanqing say the word 'mad dog', Sun Chengzong couldn't help frowning slightly, but soon relaxed.
Since they regard Li Yuanqing, who has made great contributions, as an old enemy that cannot be eliminated, how can Li Yuanqing not scold them as a 'mad dog'?
People's hearts are mutual, how can they have double standards?
"Yuanqing, you, you. Hey......"
Sun Chengzong sighed with a smile and said slowly: "Yuanqing, I'm not worried about anything else, it's just that your journey is a little too smooth." It's good to be young and ambitious, but you have to remember that when the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. Everything should be low-key and pragmatic. ”
Sun Chengzong was able to say this, and Li Yuanqing was also deeply moved.
Just like a teacher educating a student, when they are young and frivolous, who can listen to what the teacher says?
But after years of precipitation, if you think about it carefully, the causes and consequences will easily appear.
With Li Yuanqing's experience at this time, it is naturally not difficult to hear the deep meaning of Sun Chengzong's words, and he hurriedly said: "Ge Lao, you, what do you mean by this?" Could it be that there is ...... in the court"
