The early autumn wind has already cooled a little, and the green in the eyes has begun to turn slightly yellow. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the beach at the foot of the mountain, there are several groups of soldiers, who are drilling, and from time to time there are bursts of shouting and killing, and in the fields not far away, there are many figures, who are busy reclaiming wasteland.

Li Yuanqing walked slowly along the path down the mountain, quietly looking at everything around him, and beside him, Huang Guoshan followed closely with a few personal soldiers.

Phi Island is mountainous and the land is not fertile, and if you want to survive, you can only compete with God and use everything you can use.

In addition, the surrounding Liao people continue to be attached, and the population base is getting larger and larger, even if there is a grab at the time of wheat harvest, coupled with the allocation of the imperial court, the survival pressure of Phi Island is still very great.

This is also why Mao Wenlong is so eager to let Chen Jisheng out.

If we don't expand our territory, according to the current momentum of development, Phi Dao will not be able to bear it at all, and Mao Wenlong will have to choose to divert these newly annexed populations to the Guannai, which is what Mao Wenlong is unwilling to accept, and it is also unacceptable to these generals in the Dongjiang Department.

Population is wealth, and who wants to spit out the meat that comes to their mouths?

It is a pity that the Dongjiang headquarters, including the entire Dongjiang Group, except for these islands in the Liaohai Sea, is difficult to gain a foothold in the Liaodi mainland.

And without land, it is difficult for these people to feed.

That's really ......

Fortunately, everything around us is full of life, everything is just beginning, and it can be solved by manpower, far from the worst times in history.

Li Yuanqing is also thinking carefully, on the side of the Right Association, Chen Jisheng is basically a sure thing, and there will not be too many doubts.

With Chen Jisheng's ability and qualifications, coupled with his experience in Sanyang, he is also very familiar with the terrain, and he is indeed the most suitable candidate.

But on the side of the Left Association, the problem is much more complicated.

Whether it is Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, or Zhang Pan, they are all generals under Mao Wenlong, and they can basically be on their own regardless of means or ability.

With Mao Wenlong's shrewdness and wisdom, it is impossible for him not to see this, which should also be the most critical factor for him to clarify the right association and deliberately slow down the left association.

After all, although Dongjiang is a bit small now, it definitely can't withstand internal friction.

Li Yuanqing rubbed his temples a little tiredly, unwilling to think about these things anymore.

As the saying goes, 'there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain'.

Now, it is indeed a good thing to integrate the three departments of the Left Association and Southern Liaoning, and it can gather and unify the combat power of the three departments, but at this time, whether it is Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, or Chen Zhong, they are only guerrilla ranks, and the strength of the three departments is still very weak.

The reason why Mao Wenlong revealed this news to Li Yuanqing is that I am afraid that more should be the heart of the superior......

At this time, Zhang Pan took a few personal soldiers and hurriedly came up from the mountain, and when he saw Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan couldn't help but be overjoyed: "Yuanqing, you kid, I have heard about it a long time ago, and I am about to look for you." How? Do you know your brother after winning the battle? Are you still afraid that my brother will not be able to afford your wine? ”

Zhang Pan said, strode forward, and gave Li Yuanqing a warm hug.

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, you have wronged me." I just came here this morning, and I just went to see the big handsome, aren't I going to look for you? Hehe. Do you have time at noon? I'm going to eat the snake. ”

Different from Zhang Pan, Zhang Pan is easy-going, and Li Yuanqing is an old friend, at the beginning, Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong worked together to divide Mi Yizhen's family, and this intimate relationship has gone to the next level.

Zhang Pan laughed, "Yuanqing, you're here, you have to have time if you don't have time." Let's go, go and sit with me first. ”

Zhang Pan said, pulling Li Yuanqing and walking down the mountain.

The two hooked their shoulders and backs, and their own soldiers followed behind.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "By the way, Brother Zhang, sister-in-law, what's the situation?" It's been half a year, and I've almost forgotten it. ”

Zhang Pan smiled: "It's okay." Added a thousand gold. What about you? Yuanqing, when will you add me a nephew? ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, "This, the little brother is working hard." ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you really have to work hard quickly." ”

Of course, Li Yuanqing understood what Zhang Pan meant, in this era, if you want to have a closer relationship, there is nothing better than in-laws.

Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan's generation are both mud legs, but the next generation is very different.

The official residences of Zhang Pan and a group of officers are all on a small plain at the foot of the mountain, not far from the surrounding area, which is the barracks.

When he came to Zhang Pan's mansion, Li Yuanqing immediately wrapped a big red envelope for Zhang Pan's daughter, a thousand taels of silver tickets.

Huang Guoshan hurriedly found the red paper, wrapped the silver ticket in it, and respectfully handed it to Zhang Pan.

Zhang Pan was originally very casual, but when he opened the red envelope and saw it, he couldn't help but be startled, "Yuanqing, what the hell are you kid doing?" So much? This, this, no, the girl can't afford it. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled: "Brother, this is for my niece, not for you, why are you panicking?" If you don't take it, okay, then I'll go find my sister-in-law. ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help but be speechless, so he had to pat Li Yuanqing on the shoulder, "Yuanqing, you fuck it, you want your brother to break the bank." The three of you in your family are all happy, and my brother is not allowed to smash the pot and sell iron. ”

Li Yuanqing laughed, "I don't care about this, I'll just wait to collect the cash at home." ”

The two of them looked at each other, and they couldn't help laughing.

After the greetings, Zhang Pan immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare the wine and food, and called his wife out, holding his daughter to see Li Yuanqing.

In fact, whether it is Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong, or Chen Jisheng, they are all born with mud legs, and they also belong to mud legs with today and no tomorrow, and it is difficult to pay too much attention to marriage in terms of marriage.

Even now, Li Yuanqing, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong have been promoted to guerrillas, and Chen Jisheng has been promoted to general, and this situation has not changed much.

But if Li Yuanqing and these people were to get into this position in Guanning's gate, then the situation would be completely different.

After all, Liaodi is bitterly cold, and Liaohai is even more 'barren land', those gentry and wealthy families, who is willing to marry their daughters to these mud legs?

Even if Li Yuanqing and these people are Jane's generals in the emperor's heart and famous all over the world, it is still difficult to change too much about the position of the headquarters.

Even if it is Mao Wenlong, he is just a lonely overseas chief soldier, and in the eyes of orthodox generals, he is just a mud leg.

Therefore, there is a woman, who is still a woman with fine skin and tender flesh, and many things, even if they don't go through the motions, are tacitly understood.

Zhang Pan's daughter has just reached the full moon, she is very cute, with big eyes, bright and watery, looking at Li Yuanqing and Zhang Pan curiously.

Zhang Pan was very fond of his eldest daughter, carefully held it in his arms, and held her little hand to greet Li Yuanqing.

But the little girl obviously didn't sell her father's face, and soon 'wow' burst into tears, making Zhang Pan in a hurry.

Zhang Pan's woman hurriedly picked up the child and carried her to the back to breastfeed.

"This girl, don't kiss her father." Zhang Pan said with a smile.

Li Yuanqing could feel Zhang Pan's happiness, "Brother, you, I want to envy you to death." ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you will have it soon." Chenglu's side should be almost done, I asked someone to call him over, noon, our brothers, take care of it. ”

The imperial court allocated food and wages, and the various departments of the Dongjiang River not only had grain, but also silver, and consumer goods such as wine would not be regarded as treasures.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "That's nature. Must not get drunk and not return. ”

A mother-in-law served tea, but before the two of them could take a sip, a personal soldier rushed in, "General, something happened on the dock." ”

Zhang Pan couldn't help but be stunned, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Yuanqing's brows also furrowed.

The soldier hurriedly said: "General Mao has a fight with others. Go over and take a look. ”

Zhang Pan didn't have time to explain to Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, let's go, let's go and have a look first." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and hurriedly followed behind Zhang Pan.

Although the material of Phi Island is poor, the terrain is very advantageous, there are several docks, and the military accounts for the majority.

The wharf where the accident occurred is the largest wharf on Phi Island, which is considered a dual-use military and civilian use, and it is not far from Zhang Pan's mansion.

At this time, there was already a mess on the dock, dozens of soldiers in military uniforms were confronting dozens of servants in green clothes, and in the middle, Mao Chenglu was arguing with several civil officials in red official robes.

Seeing that he didn't really do anything, Zhang Pan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and hurriedly rushed over.

Li Yuanqing followed.

Mao Chenglu pointed to the face of an eight-rank civil official and scolded: "Forty-eight thousand taels of silver, why is there only thirty-nine thousand taels here?" What about nine thousand taels? Did you let the dog eat it? Dog offal, do you really think Lao Tzu doesn't dare to do it? ”

The civil official looked at Mao Chenglu coldly, and his eyelids didn't wait, "Vulgar martial arts, full of foul language, this official will truthfully show everything here to the court." ”

Mao Chenglu trembled with anger, and pointed his fingers at the face of this civil official, "You, you, you are too fucking deceitful, Lao Tzu ......"

Seeing that he was about to go crazy, Zhang Pan hurriedly rushed forward and stopped Mao Chenglu, "Chenglu, what's going on?" Can't you say something well? ”

When Mao Chenglu saw Zhang Pan coming, he couldn't help but be even more angry, "Old Zhang, look for yourself." Forty-eight thousand taels, and now it's less than thirty-nine? How dare I take it? How to explain to the marshal, how to explain to the brothers? ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing was also coming, Mao Chenglu couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly said, "Yuanqing, when did you come?" Hey, I'm so. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Brother Mao, don't worry, you can dissipate your anger first." If you have something to say, let's talk slowly. ”

Mao Chenglu said: "Yuanqing, there is also the silver you rewarded when you entered Beijing last time, you see." The imperial court actually awarded 48,000 taels, and just now, I sent someone to click it, and it was less than 39,000. This, this fucking thing. ”

Zhang Pan had already understood at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Everyone, you all dissipate your anger first." ”

As he spoke, he looked at the civil official and said, "My lord, last time, the imperial court actually gave me 75,000 taels of Dongjiang silver, and you only gave us 62,000 taels. This time, why is there another 9,000 taels missing? ”

The civil official glanced at Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, and Li Yuanqing, and said lightly: "Floating." ”

"What? Floating again? ”

Mao Chenglu couldn't help but be furious, "Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it." The silver is all in the ship, can it fall into the sea by itself? Did it grow legs on its own? ”
