Li Yuanqing will be a man.
Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang also tasted the sweetness from being sensible.
There is also a steady Chen Zhong in charge.
At this table of not sumptuous banquets, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, to be precise, should be the future land of southern Liaoning, a small-scale interest group that is not too conspicuous, but the energy should not be underestimated, with Li Yuanqing and his longevity camp as the core, gradually took shape, and gradually stabilized, and began to move on the right track.
…………
Time flies, seven or eight days have passed, and the time has come to the end of April of the third year of the Apocalypse.
The report sent to the imperial court, together with He Heli, is now afraid that he has already arrived in Beijing, and Mao Wenlong in Yizhou and Sun Chengzong in Liaoxi should have already received the battle report sent by Li Yuanqing.
It's just that the distance is far away and the communication is backward, and at this time, Li Yuanqing has not received replies from all sides for the time being.
These days, it is entering the rainy season of early spring, and the sky has been gray, and the light rain continues.
Li Yuanqing remembers that last year, the weather in the Fuzhou area did not seem to have so much rain.
But at this time, Huang Taiji dug the mouth of the Shahe River, and the Shahe River had been unnaturally diverted, and the entire plain area outside Fuzhou City was wet and very muddy.
Perhaps, the microclimate has been artificially altered.
In this situation, Fuzhou is almost a no-man's land, and this year's spring ploughing, you don't have to think about it, even if Li Yuanqing is a good woman, it is difficult for this rice-free cooking.
But the diversion of the Sand River is not a good thing.
As a result, a large area of land in the Fuzhou area, which had been dry for several years, has regained the moisture of water, and the various minerals and vitamins carried by the sediment in the river should also be able to replenish some of the nutrients that are missing in the land.
It's just that if these lands take shape, they will have to wait until next year at the latest.
This year, it is destined to be impossible to harvest anything.
This time, Fuzhou City, which has actually become a lonely city, has become awkward.
Do you keep it, or give it up?
At the same time, the sentinels who went to Jinzhou and Lushun also brought back new information.
Huang Taiji walked neatly and did not leave his minions, and Jinzhou and Lushun have now become de facto empty cities.
Huang Taiji also knew very well that even if he left people to garrison Jinzhou and Lushun, he could only turn into the military exploits of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong.
In this way, from the first line of Fuzhou to Jinzhou and Lushun, this vast area of land in southern Liaoning has in fact become a 'no man's land'.
Today, the fine light rain stopped after a few drops, and the sons and daughters had begun to resume their exercises, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong stood at the head of Fuzhou City, looking at the terrain to the north.
Although the Houjin army retreated, the weather was wet and the land was muddy, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong did not leave in a hurry, and had been recuperating in the city.
But the news of Jinzhou and Lushun at this time made the two unable to be so leisurely.
"Yuanqing, Jinzhou and Lushun, what are your plans?"
Chen Zhong handed the small wine jug in his hand to Li Yuanqing and looked at the vast north.
A few hundred miles away in the direction he was looking at was Gaizhou City.
With the end of the Fuzhou Guard War, the four guards in southern Liaoning, the two of them have actually controlled the two guards, and the key throat Lushun is also in their hands.
Li Yuanqing took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "Big brother, what do you think?" Fuzhou, Jinzhou, Lushun, where do you want? ”
Chen Zhong took the wine jug in Li Yuanqing's hand, took a big sip of it, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, I want it all, but in this situation, the manpower is not enough, even if you take these lands, you can't catch up with farming." ”
Li Yuanqing nodded.
In southern Liaoning, wheat is basically planted, and it is not impossible to grow rice, but it will inevitably cost more manpower and effort.
Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong seemed to have won a great victory, the allocation of the imperial court had not yet come down, and although the two departments had sufficient grain and grass, they did not have enough financial resources to develop and cultivate these lands.
In addition, there is a small arrears of 300,000 taels on the Qu family's side, which needs to be repaid, and the financial resources of the two ministries are actually still in deficit.
After all, a large number of weapons and armor seized from the Houjin Army, the two of them said that they would not sell them, and they would keep them for their own use.
As for livestock, even if it is easy to sell, when it comes to the fat in their mouths, how can the two of them be willing to spit it out?
This time, if you want to solve the problem of silver, you can only wait for the reward of the imperial court to be allocated.
But if you want the court to be satisfied, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Lushun, these three places, can't just give up so easily.
At this time, whether it is Fuzhou, Jinzhou, or Lushun, although the surrounding areas have been seriously damaged, these three cities have basically not suffered much damage, and they can be used directly with simple modification.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuanqing said: "Big brother, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Lushun, it is not wise to give up anywhere in the three places. Especially in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, it is no longer realistic to want to farm. But in the land of Lushun, there is a lot to be done. What I mean, Guanglu Island is very close to Lushun, and you have an innate advantage. Why don't you directly take the plate of the plate and get Lushun up again. Here in Fuzhou and Jinzhou, I will send troops to garrison it. ”
Chen Zhong was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and hurriedly said: "Yuanqing, this, how can this work?" Haven't you suffered a big loss? Fuzhou, Jinzhou, is a ruined city. but also to act as an outpost......"
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother." I've thought about it. If I go to run Lushun now, I will inevitably shift the focus of Changsheng Island. At this time, it was not easy for Changsheng Island to build such a foundation, and it was a pity to give up so much. There are a lot of people in Guanglu Island, and if you move to Lushun, these vacated fields can also be distributed to the people. It's the best of both worlds. And I have Jinzhou and Fuzhou, so I can protect the safety of Lushun. ”
Chen Zhong was a little speechless, Li Yuanqing not only gave him such a big piece of fat in Lushun, but even the back road had been left for him.
"Yuanqing, you, how will my brother behave in the future?" Chen Zhong said helplessly.
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Big brother, you and I brothers, what do you tell each other?" ”
Li Yuanqing hugged Chen Zhong's shoulders heavily, and said, "Big brother, at this time, we don't have to worry about the matter of Jinzhou and Lushun for the time being. It's not too late to wait for the court's merits to come down and then do it. However, the expansion of the army is urgent. ”
Chen Zhong instantly understood what Li Yuanqing meant.
After this battle, the promotion of the two to make a fortune is already a sure thing.
And with the disappearance of the Zhang Pan Division, the original strength of the two divisions is obviously not enough.
At this time, after the test of the Fuzhou Guard War, these more than 10,000 auxiliary soldiers brought out by the two departments have also grown greatly, and there is almost no need to practice too much, and many people can even join the soldiers directly.
"Yuan Qing, I have also thought carefully about this matter, I am ready to make up for the gap in the casualties of this battle, and then expand the size of the two thousand corps." Chen Zhong said with a smile.
Li Yuanqing also smiled, "I'm going to expand the three to four thousand corps." Big brother, at that time, you and my brother will have more than 10,000 soldiers, as long as the Tartars dare to come to Liaonan, we will definitely make these dogs pay the price! ”
Chen Zhong laughed, "Yuanqing, that's exactly the case. Without further ado, let's do it now, taking advantage of this free time. ”
…………
At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have enough young and strong people in their hands, and there is no need for Mao Wenlong's help in the matter of expanding the army, and Wei Liang and Zhang Qiliang have already been inseparable from the two and the two departments, so they naturally agreed.
After discussion, Li Yuanqing will expand the 4,000 corps to more than 5,000 troops.
And Chen Zhong will expand the force of three thousand troops, close to 4,000 people.
This time, with the addition of nearly 3,000 soldiers before, Li Yuanqing's actual strength will reach 8,000 people, and Chen Zhong will also reach nearly 7,000.
The total number of soldiers of the two divisions will exceed 15,000.
In this way, in terms of the separate forces of the two divisions, except for Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang headquarters, in fact, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have surpassed any of the general soldiers and deputy generals on the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty.
As for the name, the four of them had already agreed.
Fuzhou and Jinzhou are in hand, plus Chengshun, Guanglu Island, Changsheng Island, three important nodes, a sea area of nearly a thousand miles, hundreds of miles of land, and on the front line of the battlefield, 15,000 people, how much?
Li Yuanqing and the four of them are not afraid of someone picking peaches at all.
Southern Liaoning is no better than Western Liaoning, let alone Phi Dao and the Eastern Front, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong have already taken root here, and without them, no one can play.
As for whether the imperial court will approve it or not, and whether or not to give these vacancies, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong don't care at this time, and they will talk about training strong soldiers first.
They have enough food anyway.
For the Changsheng Battalion, with the addition of four thousand troops, Li Yuanqing's goal is quite clear, the strength of these 5,000 people, the pikemen will reach 3,000 people, 1,000 sword and shield hands, and 1,000 bird soldiers.
There are also seven red-coated cannons in Fuzhou City, which were incorporated into the newly established artillery team by Li Yuanqing.
As a result, the size of the Changsheng Battalion has more than doubled at once, and the number of officers with more than 1,000 households will also reach 9.
The 1,000th Corps is still under the rule of Duan Xiliang, and with this reward, this team will also be promoted to guerrilla.
The 2,000th Corps is still the leader of Guancanghai, and he will also be promoted to guerrilla.
The 3,000th Corps, Xu Heizi's position is also unchanged, and he is also a guerrilla rank.
The 4,000th Corps was promoted from Li Yuanqing's henchman Wang Hai to the leader of a thousand households.
The 5,000th Corps was promoted to the leader by Huang Guoshan, the leader of Li Yuanqing's personal army.
The 6,000th Corps was temporarily led by Li Sansheng, a new-generation officer, with the post of deputy Qianhu.
This is mainly due to the fact that Li Yuanqing's steps were suddenly too big, and in terms of talents, he was a little stretched, so he boldly used newcomers as before.
The 7,000th Corps will be led by Li Yuanqing himself, but it is Kong Youde who is actually responsible for commanding it.
This kid has finally ushered in spring and can lead the army alone.
And Liu Dadou's scout camp has also been supplemented with a lot of fresh blood after this war, and it is also still a thousand households, but Liu Dadou will also be promoted to guerrilla after the merit.
There is also a newly established artillery battalion, although it is less than 100 people, but it is also a thousand total establishment, led by Yang Xiaochuan, who has not returned from going to sea.
But at this time, Yang Xiaochuan was not there, so he was temporarily led by Niu Gensheng, the new head of Li Yuanqing's own army.
Originally, Kong Youde, a kid, had made great contributions and could be promoted to guerrilla, but he was still too young and his temperament was still a little frizzy, so Li Yuanqing deliberately pressed him and did not promote him to an official, but changed it to a financial reward, so as to lay the foundation for him to start a family as soon as possible.
Li Yuanqing directly told him clearly, "Either you will be promoted, promoted to guerrilla, or be the leader of the pro-army." Or, it's a thousand households, go down and lead the troops. ”
In the end, this kid wisely chose the latter.
