It is always a hundred times easier to destroy than to create. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Heidaozhai is located at the throat, the location is critical, it is a rare garrison point and sea transit station,

To build this village to such a scale, it will take at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, several years, and countless labor and materials.

If it is burned clean like this, according to the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty at this time, it can be said to be an anti-~human~ crime.

Don't forget, Li Yuanqing's headquarters, with a population of nearly 3,000, still lives in simple wooden barracks.

And Li Yuanqing's department is still lucky......

But if you keep it like this, maybe in a few days, there will be some Wang Jiaolong, Ma Jiaolong, these more than a thousand pirates, the group of dragons without a leader, maybe the harm is much greater than when Li Jiaolong was there.

After pondering for a long time, Li Yuanqing looked at Guan Canghai.

Guan Canghai also understood what Li Yuanqing meant at this time, "My lord, it's a pity to waste it here, it's better to be used by our army." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "It's a pity, Canghai, I can't give you much support." ”

Guan Canghai said: "My lord, the bandit leader has been punished, and it doesn't take too many people to stabilize the situation here." Only 30 people are lowly and it is enough. ”

Li Yuanqing sighed, "30 people is too little. I'll leave you with 50 people. However, in terms of materials, you can only figure it out by yourself. ”

Guan Canghai understood what Li Yuanqing meant, nodded, suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly whispered to Li Yuanqing......

…………

On the one hand, Li Yuanqing is a strongman with an unknown origin, and secondly, there is no real deposit, so Zhang Daguanren's temperament will naturally not negotiate with Li Yuanqing easily.

But in the name of Li Jiaolong, everything is much simpler.

Heidao is far away from the mainland, and Li Yuanqing changed the world overnight, and it is difficult for the news to spread.

Guan Canghai became Li Jiaolong, and Li Jiaolong became Guan Canghai.

With real money in hand, Li Yuanqing asked Guan Canghai to purchase a large amount of food and materials from the Liu family and Zhang Daguan respectively in the name of Li Jiaolong through Heidao.

With one hand to pay the money and the other hand to deliver, the two families did not have too many doubts, and the price was much cheaper than the market price.

In the past few days, Heidao's ships have continuously brought back a large amount of supplies from Dengzhou Mansion and Zhangjiaji, totaling almost 15,000 taels of grain, cloth, and various daily necessities, solving the biggest problem in front of Li Yuanqing.

Originally, Li Yuanqing also wanted to buy some coal through Zhang Daguanren's door, Shandong's Laiwu, Xintai, Yanzhou and other places, there are good open-pit coal mines, the price is not expensive, but unfortunately, it is about to enter the wax moon, the sea surface has come to the freezing period, the offshore sea, has begun to form thin ice, there are thousands of mouths waiting to eat behind him, Li Yuanqing did not dare to slack off, left a hundred percent of the materials to the Guancang Sea of Heidao, and led the fleet to return to Guanglu Island.

When I came out in mid-November and returned to Guanglu Island, it was already the beginning of December, and it was about to come to Laba Festival, and the New Year of the second year of the Apocalypse was coming.

Although Chen Zhong did not participate in this trip, Li Yuanqing still generously left him a hundred percent of the materials, plus the materials that Chen Zhong himself purchased from Guangludao before, there is no big problem to spend this New Year.

For the rest of the supplies, Li Yuanqing unloaded fifty percent on Guanglu Island, and the remaining thirty percent was directly transported to Changsheng Island.

At this time, the offshore waters have begun to freeze, but it is not yet time to completely freeze, and this will be the last batch of cargo ships to go to Changsheng Island this year.

After doing all this, it happened to be the Laba Festival, Li Yuanqing held a banquet in the camp of Guangludao, the army and the people celebrated together, and the wine, meat and food were enough, and directly these suffering soldiers and people kowtowed again and again, and many people shed tears.

Seeing that the people under his rule finally had hope and anger, Li Yuanqing's heart also relaxed a lot.

However, as the rule of the Later Jin Jurchens over Liao became longer and more stable, the life of the Han people under their rule became more and more miserable.

On the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, Li Yuanqing got such a piece of news that on the opposite shore of Guanglu Island, a Han village less than 100 miles apart was slaughtered by the Tartars because they did not pay all the pigweed at the end of the year.

This is also the characteristic of the rule of the Later Jin, the original common people in Liaodi, only need to pay the land tax burden to the Ming Dynasty, but now, the people not only have to pay the tax burden of the land property, but also help the Hou Jin mow the grass.

Although the old slave Eight Banners Iron Horse is fierce, but the war horse is raised, it is not cheap, especially in winter, the forage is exhausted.

How can Allah do these jobs?

It can only be the clothed minions and the Han people.

Unfortunately, this year's weather is extremely cold, the world is often covered with frost and snow, and in general, the common people finish the crop work, as long as they are diligent and exert a little more effort, they can also complete the grass tax of gold.

It's just that at this time, the weather is bad and the grass is frozen to death, what can the people do?

But these female Allah do not care about this, as long as they fail to complete the tax, they think that it is a provocation by the people to the authority of Houjin, and under the strict orders of the old slaves, the Han people are mourning everywhere in Liaodi.

At this time, according to the news from the displaced people in front, in the past few days, there have been more than a dozen villages and thousands of people on the other side of the river, who have fled from their homes.

It's a pity that they don't have much choice, one choice is Zhang Pan who is now in Lushun, and the other is Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong on Guanglu Island on the other side, within the closest distance, only these two places are still the sphere of influence of the Ming Dynasty.

It's just that Zhangpan is now short of supplies, and there are many land barriers, and the villages near Lushun are better, such as these villages opposite Guanglu Island, I'm afraid that they will be killed by Houjin's cavalry before they arrive at Lushun, or they will starve to death and freeze to death on the road.

Early in the morning of the ninth day of the lunar month, before breakfast, Chen Zhong sent someone to call Li Yuanqing over and saw the refugees who had fled.

This man's name is Ma Wu, about early forties, looking at a very energetic man, but at this time he cried like a tearful man, "My lord, my lord, you must save our fathers and fellow villagers." We are all the people of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Ma Wu said as he kowtowed desperately, and his forehead was already full of blood.

Li Yuanqing hurriedly helped him up, "This big brother, don't worry about it first. Where are the people now? How many people are there? Take your time and don't rush. ”

Li Yuanqing said, and ordered his soldiers to bandage his wounds first and pour him a bowl of hot water.

After Ma Wu bandaged the wound on his forehead and drank some hot water, his face was bloody, and he hurriedly said: "My lord, we still have more than 2,000 people now, and we are on the beach on the other side, and there is not much food. The Tartar pursuers should arrive immediately. Your Excellency, you must save them. ”

"How many Tartars are there?"

"My lord, I can't say it either. There were probably a thousand men, all cavalry. ”

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, and Chen Zhong said, "Yuanqing, these people, we will be saved." ”

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity.

At this time, under Li Yuanqing, there were only 150 serious soldiers, and Chen Zhong's side, there were only 200 people.

In such a situation, to fight against more than 1,000 elite cavalry of Houjin, this ~~, this is really too much.

But~, if Li Yuanqing is allowed to watch on Guanglu Island, across the sea, his comrades are being slaughtered, and his sister is being humiliated, this is something that Li Yuanqing will never be able to do.

The Zhenjiang defense battle is really a natural defect, and Li Yuanqing is powerless to change it at all, but at this time, there is a gap between the sea, which adds a lot of variables to the rescue and also adds a lot of opportunities.

"Big brother, people must be saved. And you have to save it immediately. ”

…………

The sea has entered a frozen period, and within two or three miles of the sea, there is ice of varying thickness.

The sea is not fresh water, if it is an ordinary lake in Liaodi, at this time, the ice is already very thick, and people and livestock will not be in a big problem at all, just like flat land.

However, the composition of the sea water is complex, and there are tidal surges, and no one can be sure whether the ice is strong or not until the coldest season.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's big boats were frozen in the simple dock by the sea, and if they wanted to save people, they could only rely on small boats.

Beginning at noon, almost all the small boats on Guanglu Island, with more than 100 of them, were requisitioned by Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, like dense ants, pushed onto the ice near the sea.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong immediately asked people to dig ice at intervals, that is, starting from the beach, every ten meters, or dozens of meters, digging a hole in the ice, checking the thickness of the ice, and gradually moving forward.

But this method is safe, but it is too slow.

Li Yuanqing simply asked the women to pull out several rolls of cloth that they had just bought from Dengzhou, and asked the women to make strips of cloth that were 100 meters wide, and asked them to cut the ice 100 meters apart, connect the safe areas with strips of cloth, and then use strips of cloth to pull the boat directly into the deep sea beyond the ice.

Although this method is risky and extremely costly, it is much faster.

It had just fallen at night, and most of the small boats had already arrived in the deep sea.

Human lives were at stake, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not dare to hesitate, and immediately led the crowd to the other side.

After three hours of arduous sailing, the fleet had reached the ice on the opposite shore, and it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and the sky was falling with goose feather snow, and the sea breeze was howling, and it was bitterly cold.

Ma Wu, a homeless man, had been in a small boat with Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, and when he saw the land, he hurriedly said: "Two adults, the villagers are on a beach not far ahead. The Tartar doesn't know if he's chasing after him, so I'll go over and take a look first. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, waved his hand and motioned for a few pro-soldiers to go with him.

Soon, several figures, along the indistinguishable ice, touched towards the land.

In less than half an hour, several people rushed back, and a few homeless young people also came back, Ma Wu hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, "My lord, the dog Tartars have approached the beach at night, but they haven't used to attack yet, it is estimated that tomorrow will be the dawn of tomorrow, which is the time for them to start." I beg you to save the villagers. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "What is the ice situation?" ”

Ma Wu hurriedly said: "My lord, I went over with a few brothers, and there was no big problem. It's snowing heavily today, and it is estimated that there will be no sun tomorrow morning, so it should be fine. ”

Chen Zhong said: "Yuanqing, this matter must not be neglected, let's go and save people now." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and now, even if he knew that there was a tiger's den ahead, he could only rush over to take a look.

"Tell the brothers to push the boat onto the ice, leave one young guard on each boat, and everyone else follow Lao Tzu to save people."

"Yes."

The order was quickly transmitted.

At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, in addition to the 350 soldiers under their command, and more than 1,000 young people, settled the ship, and they quickly approached the shore in the direction of the shore like dense ants under the cold wind and snow.
