Chapter 161: Show your muscles
~~~~~~~
When he came, he was light and simple, but when he returned, he was piled up with grain, grass, and weapons, as well as more than 10,000 taels of silver and nearly 1,000 female prisoners, and even during the day, the speed of the team could not be raised.

But the morale of the soldiers is high, opening roads in the mountains, building bridges in the water, and there are no Tartar chasing soldiers around, Fuzhou side, if there is no cavalry support from Yongning, they will never dare to rashly pursue the main force of the Changsheng Battalion, and in a short period of time, the main force of the Changsheng Battalion is still in a safe state.
And as long as he rushes to the beach, even if the old slave personally leads the army to come, Li Yuanqing is not false at all.
However, Li Yuanqing did not set fire to the wheat fields near Yangguanbao that had not yet had time to be harvested.
It is always 10,000 times easier to destroy than to create.
Leaving temporarily at this time is just because the situation requires it, and throughout the harvest season, Li Yuanqing will never let the Tartars in southern Liaoning feel better.
In the evening of the next day, the main force of the Changsheng battalion successfully returned to its temporary station by the sea.
At this time, the temporary pier has been built, and you can go at any time if you want to.
However, the soldiers have been working hard for several days in a row, and there are no pursuers behind them, and Li Yuanqing also needs to leave some rest time for the sons.
Because a lot of various types of dried meat were seized from Yangguan Fort, Li Yuanqing was not stingy, and the dinner was quite sumptuous, and the soldiers ate it with their mouths full of oil.
Liang Zhu and Zhang Sanwa, the newly attached soldiers of the Han Army, Li Yuanqing did not slack off, and gave them the same dinner treatment, which also made them grateful.
After dinner, Liu Dadou came to Li Yuanqing's side excitedly, and said with a little twist, but with some expectation: "General, there are so many women, can the general let the brothers relax?" ā
"Relax?"
Li Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he understand what Liu Dadou meant, and said quietly: "Dadou, what did you do under Luo Shuai before?" ā
Liu Dadou was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly explained: "General, we haven't had such a big harvest for a long time. However, in the early years, when we defeated these tribes, Luo Shuai would reward the military spirit. ā
Li Yuanqing nodded, looked at Liu Dadou and said, "Do the brothers think so?" ā
Liu Dadou already understood what Li Yuanqing meant at this time, and it seemed that Li Yuanqing did not approve of his idea, so he hurriedly said in a low voice: "General, this is the practice of the Ming army. If the general is not used to it, then it is exempt. ā
Li Yuanqing nodded.
Frankly speaking, after winning the battle, it is okay to relax the soldiers, including the Mi army in later generations, in fact, this kind of thing often happens.
But Li Yuanqing did not intend to do so, even though there were many Manchu women among the captives.
There is an essential difference between Easterners and Westerners, and the biggest point is that the obedience and discipline of Easterners are simply incomparable to those of casual Westerners.
The immortal camp under Li Yuanqing's command was just beginning, and it did lack wildness, but it could never be obtained in this way.
In Li Yuanqing's view, this is a very cowardly behavior.
A real warrior can only really grow up after the test of blood and fire, and what is it to be rough with women?
What is the difference between that and the Jurchen Tartars?
What's more, this battle is just the beginning, and it is far from the time to enjoy it.
Looking at Li Yuanqing's somewhat erratic gaze, Liu Dadou couldn't help but feel a little chilled, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "General, it's wrong to be humble." ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's not your fault. In fact, it was my poor thinking. The brothers followed me Li Yuanqing and worked hard, what are you trying to do? Isn't it just to get promoted and get rich, and seal your wife and son? This is also human nature, how can I blame it? However, this is not the time yet. You can tell the brothers privately that I will reward these female dependents, except for these real slave women, and the rest of the Han family daughters. ā
Liu Dadou was relieved at this time, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly kowtowed: "My lord is wise." The lowly pledge to do this well. ā
Watching Liu Dadou leave, Li Yuanqing slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and his eyes narrowed slightly......
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanqing convened a military meeting and issued several directives one after another.
Except for some supplies left for backup, the rest of the women and belongings were all transported back to Changsheng Island.
These Han women, except for a very small number of the female dependents of these Han army banner soldiers, most of them are the families of real slaves under Mu Zhen, to some extent, they are also enemies, but they are weak, and Li Yuanqing also wants to give them a chance.
After they are brought back to Immortal Island, and then carefully investigated, those who are harmful can be directly used as slaves to reclaim wasteland, and those who are not harmful can be rewarded to meritorious soldiers.
And these real slave women, the fate of slaves is already sealed.
The fleet of the Changsheng Camp was huge, and it didn't take too many ships to transport these supplies and women, and soon, they got on the boat, and together with these supplies, they were transported in the direction of Changsheng Island.
This place is only twenty or thirty miles away from Changsheng Island, so there is no need to worry about safety.
As for the next goal, Li Yuanqing also has a new choice.
After dinner, the flotilla did not stop much and headed north.
At this time, the actions of the Changsheng Battalion in Yangguanbao must have aroused the vigilance of Fuzhou, and it would be unwise to entangle around Fuzhou.
The west coast of southern Liaoning stretches for hundreds of miles, including the line of western Liaoning, which will be the scope of Li Yuanqing's influence.
Two days later, at noon, the fleet had reached the Gaizhou line.
Unlike Fuzhou, which is inland, Gaizhou is built near the sea and is quite close to the coast, so as long as the Changsheng battalion lands smoothly, it will soon be able to land under the city of Gaizhou.
With the Battle of Yangguan Fort, this is the time when the morale of the Immortal Battalion is high, and the team also has a certain amount of landing experience.
Li Yuanqing made a quick decision and directly captured Lianyun Island, and then, under the noses of the guards of Gaizhou City, the main force of the Changsheng Battalion began to land one after another, and built the camp directly opposite Gaizhou City.
The fleet of the Changsheng Battalion is very large, with more than a dozen large ships and more than 300 medium and small boats.
In terms of Gaizhou City, as if facing a great enemy, the city gate was closed, and he watched the Changsheng Camp land so easily, but he didn't dare to make the slightest move.
Li Yuanqing was on the boat, and Guan Canghai couldn't help but shake his head again and again.
I've seen the bold, but I've never seen the bold. The courage of his own general, this is really ......
But Guan Canghai also undeniably that the momentum of the fleet is too huge, unless the Tartar head of Gaizhou City is kicked by a donkey, otherwise, it is really difficult to go out of the city to deal with it.
But landing like this requires far more courage than mortals, and even if he knows the details, it is difficult for him to do so.
Li Yuanqing didn't have much expression on his face, and he was not shocked.
Although this army under his command was established by Li Yuanqing, due to the rapid expansion and the complexity of the composition, to a large extent, Li Yuanqing actually did not completely control this army.
In this case, Li Yuanqing did not have many good methods, so he could only use some unconventional means to establish his lofty image and firmly envelop the soldiers in it.
Everything takes time, but at this time, Li Yuanqing must focus all his energy on the battle situation in front of him.
According to the intelligence of Liu Dadou's scout team, there are more than 2,000 troops in Gaizhou City, and there are at least 600 real slaves.
In such a situation, Li Yuanqing's longevity camp wants to defeat Gaizhou, which is basically a fool's dream.
But this is not a defense, Li Yuanqing can show his muscles in front of the Tartars in Gaizhou City, hit their morale, and establish his own prestige by the way.
Soon, with the landing of the vanguard, all the work began to be carried out in an orderly manner.
The two birds of Shunzi and Yang Xiaochuan were deployed on both sides to guard against the movement of Gaizhou City.
Liang Zhu and Wang Sanwa, seventy or eighty Han army banner soldiers, also landed ashore.
At first, Wang Sanwa once thought that Li Yuanqing wanted to use them as cannon fodder, but when he got to the shore and saw that the headquarters of the Changsheng Camp was also landing one after another, he was relieved.
But I also admire Li Yuanqing's courage.
He now knows that Li Yuanqing is the main force of the battalion, but he is only a little more than 2,000 people, and he dares to make such a big show under the nose of Gaizhou City, this, this is really ......
Wang Sanwa doesn't know how to describe it, but it is undeniable that this feeling is very exciting, very exciting, so that he can't help it, he just wants to see the tall figure on the big boat not far behind him, as if he can give people confidence when he sees him.
However, although the progress in all aspects was smooth, Li Yuanqing did not dare to be careless.
The most important thing for this kind of thing is to stop in moderation and never go overboard, otherwise, even if it is a Daluo immortal, sooner or later it will be scorched by the fire.
The first thing Li Yuanqing did after the landing of the main force was to order the digging of trenches, the laying of traps and the simple rejection of horses, forming a barrier between the camp and Gaizhou City.
Lianyun Island was originally a few docks in Gaizhou, but it was abandoned after the Tatars occupied it, and there are still a lot of things available.
From noon to evening, the fortification system was basically formed, and Li Yuanqing also went ashore in a small boat to boost the morale of the army.
And Gaizhou City has always maintained restraint, and many figures are shaking at the head of the city, but they have no intention of sending troops.
Night came quickly.
On the side of the Changsheng camp, while barbecuing bacon, he was eating and chewing, and the sound of laughter resounded all over the world, but in the direction of Gaizhou City, there was still no action.
The soldiers had been partying for most of the night before they went to rest.
Guan Canghai said: "General, Gaizhou is not as good as Fuzhou, we must be very careful." ā
Li Yuanqing nodded, he didn't dare to be careless about this kind of risky thing with his head.
"Canghai, tonight's defense will be handed over to you. Remember, if you spot it, shoot as close as you can. ā
Guan Canghai nodded vigorously, "General rest assured." As long as they dare to come, we can't let them go back comfortably. ā
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
The night passed fairly smoothly, except for the occasional chirping of birds, as if nothing had happened.
Early in the morning, as soon as Li Yuanqing got up, Guan Canghai came to report, "General, last night in Gaizhou City, at least 5 waves of sentinels were dispatched. There were 3 waves, all of which were shot by our bird-gunned soldiers. It should be difficult for those who have escaped to find out the details of our camp. ā
Li Yuanqing smiled, "Canghai, hard work." You have a good rest today. In the evening, there are more important tasks. ā
Guan Canghai went back to rest, and Li Yuanqing ordered Huang Guoshan to recruit several other major officers, held a simple meeting, and assigned tasks.
After a short time, a few soldiers rushed out from the Changsheng camp and stopped one hundred and fifteen steps below Gaizhou City.
Immediately, several people couldn't help but shout in unison, "Dog's day Tartar, you listen well." Quickly hand over Mang Gurtai's wife and concubine, and let the brothers play a good role. My general is in a good mood, and maybe he can spare your dog's life. Otherwise, the army will break the city, and the chickens and dogs will not be left. ā
Gaizhou City is the fief of the Blue Banner Lord Mang Gurtai, at this time, it is not surprising that Mang Gurtai's wife and children should be in Gaizhou City.
And these soldiers are all deliberately selected by Li Yuanqing with big voices, and the effect of them shouting together is comparable to a tweeter loudspeaker, I am afraid that even if they are a few miles away, they can be heard clearly.
