Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, his eyes couldn't help narrowing slightly, what kind of situation is this?

Through previous contacts and the march in the past few days, Li Yuanqing has a very indescribable but intuitive understanding of Mao Wenlong's temperament, or behavior. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

No matter how he behaves or does things, Mao Wenlong is very 'artistic'.

It can be said that he is upright and selfless, with clear rewards and punishments, but in many things, he is not a tendon, he is stubborn and principled, he will make you feel acceptable within the scope of what he can accept, and even, very comfortable.

This is also why Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan, and Chen Zhong are all determined to follow him and set foot on this 'Huangquan Road'.

In terms of marching, he was even more cautious, paying ten times more attention to intelligence work, and everywhere he went, there were at least a dozen sentinels, scattered around.

These sentry spies are all the seeds of his garrison in Sanyang back then, although there are many newcomers at this time, but with the old leading the new, their ability is not doubtful.

But at this time, there were fast horses found here, they were obviously not enemies, they should be Mao Wenlong's followers.

That~~, at this time, in such a situation, what news did they bring?

…………

Chen Jisheng's personal soldier Niu Er, about in his early thirties, his face was full of ravines, and between the vicissitudes of life, he was full of broken and dense stubble.

He was originally a hunter in Qinzhong, and he was very good at archery. Later, because of his mistakes, he was assigned to Liaodong to fill the army.

Originally, he was not happy in Liaodi, but by chance, he was taken in by Chen Jisheng, and he has been staying by Chen Jisheng's side, which can be said to be a pro-soldier or a family member.

The military household system pioneered by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, when he founded the country, was essentially to firmly control this huge empire and be immortal.

However, with the slow passage of time, more than 200 years have passed, and the so-called military household system has long been unrecognizable.

Now the military system of the Ming Dynasty is a big army leader, leading countless small army heads, below the small army heads, and raising small army heads, and below, there are family members, and the lowest level is the most basic big head soldiers.

However, Chen Jisheng is only a thousand generals now, and Mao Wenlong has not yet gotten up, except for Niu Er, he only has two personal soldiers, both of whom are stout and sturdy, and his friendship with Li Yuanqing is not bad, but he is not good at using bows and arrows.

In later generations, countless brick families and angry young people were spraying the military household system of the Ming Dynasty, believing that this was the most important reason hindering the combat effectiveness of the Ming army.

But Li Yuanqing is really in this era at this time, and he thinks about it from the ground up, if an officer does not have a few brothers and cronies under his hands, let alone on the battlefield, even if he encounters ordinary fights and brawls, no one will block the knife for you, and no one will give you any hard work, then what are you doing as an officer?

Although Li Yuanqing also agrees that the family system consumes too many resources, but in this era, under the influence of the Xiaoice River, Daming, including the entire East Asian region, agricultural productivity has declined extremely and resources are seriously insufficient. Maintain your influence?

Niu Er also knew that although Li Yuanqing was young, he had a great friendship with his master Chen Jisheng, at this time, he naturally did not dare to deliberately hold it up, and when he saw Li Yuanqing coming over, he hurriedly smiled and said: "Brother Yuanqing, what do you say today?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed the wine jug in his hand to Niu Shuang, "Second brother, the general is busy with something over there." We had to work hard to run errands. ”

Two lives, in terms of human sophistication, Li Yuanqing naturally has a maturity that is not commensurate with his age.

In the past few days, Niu Er has also learned some about Li Yuanqing's temperament, this little brother, no matter what he says or does, is very stable and will not let you suffer.

He poured a sip of spirits with beauty~beauty, packed up his bow and arrows, and laughed: "Hey~~, what's this hard work for?" Brother Yuanqing, let's go, the second brother will show you a hand today. ”

…………

Li Yuanqing greeted his two younger brothers, Niu Er also greeted the three strong men under Chen Jisheng, and several people quickly entered the dense forest in the southwest direction.

The reason why Li Yuanqing pestered Niu Er, on the one hand, was indeed to fight some wild goods and improve his living conditions, on the other hand, it was also the most critical reason, in this era, riding and archery was fundamental, and if he wanted to kill and injure the enemy without damaging himself, bows and arrows were the most effective means.

At least, at this stage, Li Yuanqing did not find any advantages in the shoddy firearms of the Ming Dynasty.

Skills don't press.

A few people wandered around the dense forest in the mountains for half an hour, and the sky was completely dark, and the harvest was not bad.

Niu Er beat five rabbits and two pheasants, and Li Yuanqing also hunted a rabbit, which was the first time that Li Yuanqing had made a gain since learning bows and arrows. The rest of the younger brothers also picked up a lot of mushrooms and dry goods.

The group happily returned to the camp and saw several of Mao Chenglu's personal soldiers, carrying a dark and fat wild boar down.

People on both sides glanced at each other, and couldn't help laughing, tonight's food is rich.

Although Niu Er was a little unconvinced, he could only sigh that he had the idea to carry it, and he was not as lucky as them.

came back and handed over the things to the younger brothers to pack up, and ordered the younger brother to send the fattest one to Mao Wenlong, Li Yuanqing and Niu Er sat by the tent, drinking a little wine, and chattering nonsense.

But in this regard, how can Niu Er be Li Yuanqing's opponent? In a few words, his bottom was revealed.

Although Niu Er is a hunter, it is passed down from his ancestors for several generations, in the local area, there are nearly 100 acres of mountain fields, the family background is quite good, and he also married a pretty girl who has been a maid in a large family as a wife.

But for some reason, although his mother-in-law is good, Niu Er always feels that this big family owes him.

It's nothing at first, but men, this day is long, it is inevitable that they will be resentful, and after the sweet 'honeymoon period', his mother-in-law also began to play petty every once in a while, thinking about this and that.

After all, although Niu Er is considered a 'middle class', his life is still not as proper and comfortable as that of a large family.

Slowly, Niu Er's resentment became more and more serious, but he didn't dare to attack his pretty mother-in-law, one night, with the strength of wine, and with this skill, he quietly sneaked into the big family's house.

Maybe it's because the second young master of the big family has too many good things, and he has suffered retribution, and when Niu Er went, he had already contracted flower willow disease, with more air in and less gas out.

Niu Er wanted to beat him up with a mask and show his evil anger in his heart, but when he saw this, he beat this kid like this, wouldn't he have to pay for his life?

It just so happened that the wife of the second young master came over to deliver medicine to the second young master.

Niu Er is so big, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman, in comparison, his mother-in-law is really the gap between a maid and a princess.

For a while, perhaps it was the devil possessed, and in front of the second young master, Niu Er did something rebellious......

But after doing it, Niu Er also regretted it, but unfortunately, there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and it was difficult to recover it.

Although Niu Er knocked the second young master's wife unconscious, the second young master saw this scene alive, and under the anger, he actually swallowed his breath......

Afterwards, how could this big family spare Niu Er?

Although the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, people just want to kill people to pay for their lives, and fortunately, Niu Er's old man has tried most of his family property and found countless doorways, which saved Niu Er's life.

However, Li Yuanqing noticed that although he was inexplicably remorseful about the previous things, when it came to the most wonderful thing with the second young master's wife, his expression could not suppress an inexplicable brilliance, thinking about it, this thing ~~~, although the price was large, it was the biggest shining point in his life.

"Second brother, you are also a man of temperament. It's a pleasure to do. A man's husband should be like a man. We don't regret it. Li Yuanqing said with a smile.

Niu Er couldn't help laughing, "Come, Brother Yuanqing, let's go again." ”

Through Niu Er's mouth, Li Yuanqing also learned about the past of many 'second-level pro-soldiers' around him, basically, they are all unruly and unruly people with skills and courage.

In fact, this is also the 'martyrdom' of Liaodi, and even the entire Ming army.

In later generations, the land of Liaodi is of course good, although the weather is cold, but the Northeast girls are hot.

But in this era, Guanwai is a bitter cold place after all, but mortals have a little ability at home, who will come to Liaodi? What's more, being a soldier?

Fa Pao has been in exile for thousands of miles, and this is the state of affairs.

At a deeper level, although the local residents of Liaodi can be used as excellent soldiers, at the level of grassroots officers, there is a big fault line, and there is a serious lack of fresh blood.

Combined with many aspects, the combat effectiveness of the Liaodi army is counting on Niu Er's 'second-level and third-level' personal soldiers.

This time, it's better if it's a tailwind, but once it's a headwind......

For this state, Li Yuanqing can't comment on anything at this time, after all, at the root, Li Yuanqing and Niu Er are actually no different, they are both unruly people, and what they eat is the bowl of rice of 'licking blood on the knife edge'.

But in this way, the indoctrination of the court and the bigwigs is not only separated by a layer?

How can we give full play to the power of the farming nation and the orthodoxy of the Central Plains to compete with the powerful Eight Banners Iron Cavalry?

…………

Li Yuanqing and Niu Er drank outside the tent for most of the hour, and Chen Jisheng hurried back.

Li Yuanqing noticed that Chen Jisheng's expression was very condensed.

Niu Er originally wanted to show off today's results with Chen Jisheng, but when he saw Chen Jisheng's face, he could only swallow the words back into his stomach, and hurriedly went to the side and ordered his younger brother to heat the dish and prepare the meal.

At this time, Li Yuanqing naturally didn't say much, but just handed the wine jug to Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng poured a big mouthful, looked at Li Yuanqing, and then looked at the distant night sky in the distance, for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Liaoyang~~, lost." ”

Although Li Yuanqing had known the course of history for a long time, when he heard Chen Jisheng say this, his heart was still tight, and he hurriedly whispered: "Big brother, when did it happen?" ”

"Not long ago. Although Young Master Chengdou was rescued, he was like Mrs. Wen's ......"

Although Chen Jisheng didn't say it explicitly, why didn't Li Yuanqing understand what he meant?

I kept the small ones, but I didn't keep the big ones.

Mao Wenlong's wife Zhang, has been living in Hangzhou, because he can not have children, and there is no out, Mao Wenlong's son Mao Chengdou, is his newly married concubine Wen in Liaoyang, old to have children, naturally show weakness treasures, but now ......

This is really a national hatred and a family hatred.

The man's eldest husband is already in an important position in guerrillas, but he is actually ~~, and he can't even protect his wife and son, how ironic should this be?

The husband was angry, and the blood was splashed five steps, not to mention, it was a hero like Mao Wenlong?

The two were silent for a long time, Li Yuanqing exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, and said in a deep voice: "Big brother, how is the general's mood now?" ”

Note: Shenyang fell on March 13 in the first year of the Apocalypse, and Liaoyang was besieged by the Jin army after March 18 and fell on March 21. Only five days were in between. Here, due to the needs of the plot, the day when the pig's feet learned the news was postponed for a few days.

It can also be inferred from the date that after that year, Jin attacked the city with cavalry, and they were all fortresses, but it was so smooth sailing, it is not difficult to imagine what state the Ming army had been corrupted to at that time.
