In the cascading deep mountains and dense forests, the snow is almost waist-deep. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Under the howling north wind, a bright red team of about four or five hundred people was trekking with some difficulty.

Shu Luohuan was wearing a fur jacket and a deerskin hat, and several layers of thick fox velvet scarves were repeatedly wrapped around his neck, only his two eyes were exposed, and he was panting heavily, following closely in front of the team, for fear of falling behind the tall figure in front of him.

He really couldn't understand it, on such a cold day, the dog was about to freeze to death, why didn't Li Yuanqing stay in the camp and have to go up to this deep mountain and old forest to explore the terrain?

You said that if you come to investigate, you will investigate, but you have to pull him Shu Luohuan......

I really can't figure it out.

Li Yuanqing was a wise man, but how could he make such a big move for the sake of those few rumors, and really ran to this old forest where birds don't to find guilt.

Can you believe the untouchable rumors?

The key is that with his Shu Luohuan's size, it is difficult to ride a horse on weekdays, let alone under such almost extreme harsh conditions.

But Li Yuanqing spoke, how could he Shu Luohuan dare to refute? can only grit his teeth, harden his head, and hold on.

Although the snow in this dense forest has been swept away by the children in front of me, because the layer of fallen leaves under your feet is very thick and uneven, walking on it, deep and shallow, if you are not careful, you will stumble, and you must lift the spirit of twelve.

has been in this environment for more than ten days, and Shu Luohuan is almost on the verge of collapse.

Fortunately, the team's follow-up supplies are quite abundant, and Shu Luohuan eats and drinks well, so he can only rely on his mental head to support it.

At this time, the terrain in front of me suddenly rose and went uphill again.

Shu Luohuan almost wanted to scold her mother.

Ordinary people climbing this kind of hillside are tired and half dead, not to mention, it is his Shu Luohuan's size.

However, Wang Damao and the others in front of him all firmly followed Li Yuanqing's pace, and he Shu Luohuan naturally couldn't fall behind them, gritted his teeth and held on.

The hillside was much steeper than the one I had encountered before, and I had walked for more than half an hour, and it was already noon, but I still had no intention of turning over.

Shu Luohuan glanced up, and the fucking crawl was less than halfway there...... Fortunately~, it's about to be dinner, Li Yuanqing has to let the sons and daughters have a meal first.

At this time, there was a sudden cheer from the sappers who were exploring the road ahead.

Someone hurriedly rushed over to this side and shouted excitedly: "Dashuai, Dashuai, let's find the baby!" We've found the baby! ”

At this time, although it was not snowing, the wind was very strong, and even if it was so close from dozens of paces away, if you wanted to hear the conversation clearly, you had to roar.

The soldiers who rushed over seemed to be holding something black in their hands.

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed and hurriedly rushed forward.

Shu Luohuan was also taken aback, "Baby? Really found the baby? ”

He didn't care about being tired, so he hurriedly twisted his fat~ buttocks, and quickly chased forward.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already rushed to the front, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Hurriedly shouted: "Sons and daughters go up together, dig on both sides to see how large this iron ore is." ”

Although the soldiers were tired from the journey, at this time, they were also extremely excited to find the treasure, and they took the shovels in their hands and began to shovel snow on both sides along the surface of the iron ore found here, and continue to expand the scale.

Li Yuanqing quickly climbed to a height of more than a dozen steps, condescending, and glanced left and right at the surrounding scene.

This is the backlit side of the hillside, the dense forest has come to an end, and when you look up and to the left and right, you can see the slope covered in snow, while on the other side, the sunny side of the hillside is lush and undulating.

Even if Li Yuanqing doesn't have a thorough understanding of geology, he can basically see a rough idea.

If it is really like the legend of the local people, there is iron ore on the surface, then ~, the scale of this iron mine is not small.

At this time, the excited soldiers had already shoveled out more than a dozen steps on each side, and more and more black iron ore was exposed in front of them.

Xu Liang, who accompanied him, was so excited that he couldn't find the north.

He didn't care about the cold, so he took off his gloves directly, and caressed this piece of iron ore affectionately, as if it was the skin of his most beloved woman, carefully checking the quality of this iron ore.

After a moment, he excitedly ran to Li Yuanqing's side: "Dashuai, great joy, great joy!" This iron ore is much better than the iron ore we bought from other places! If the content in it can be like this, even if we can make a bird gun with a range of 120 steps, or even 130 steps, it will never be a dream anymore! ”

Li Yuanqing was also overjoyed, "Lao Xu, this is a great thing!" But let's not be happy just yet. Let's find a flat place first, set up camp first, and let's take our time! In such weather, I'm afraid that the dogs can really freeze to death! It's not beautiful if you fall into trouble! ”

Xu Liang also understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and understood the love between Li Yuanqing's words, nodded heavily, and said happily: "Dashuai, you can rest for a while." Let's go find a place to camp! ”

Xu Liang beckoned a few personal soldiers to rush to work, and at this time, Shu Luohuan also ran to Li Yuanqing's side out of breath, looked at the scenery in front of him, and said with disbelief in his eyes: "Dashuai, this, this legendary thing, really, really let us find it?" ”

Li Yuanqing laughed and glanced at Shu Luohuan meaningfully, "Brother Luo Huan, as long as the kung fu is deep, the iron rod will be sharpened into a needle!" ”

"This ......"

Shu Luo Huan was speechless, he simply never dreamed of it.

Li Yuanqing just relied on the spread of the common people, and without much actual research, he rashly entered this deep mountain.

What made Shu Luohuan even more unbelievable was that he was ...... actually let Li Yuanqing find the location of the iron mine.

Especially looking at this appearance, the scale of this iron mine is really not small.

This...... Li Yuanqing's luck is inevitable, maybe it's too good...... This, this is really even Changshengtian, who is on Li Yuanqing's side.

At this time, Li Yuanqing naturally understood Shu Luohuan's careful thoughts.

However, how can this dead fat man know how much effort he and his sons have put into finding this iron mine.

It took three days just to screen the rumors of the local people! Not to mention, hasty preparations.

Fortunately, the hard work pays off! Finally let them find it.

This is God's best reward for those who work hard!

Soon, Xu Liang and his soldiers found a flat land on the side of the more soothing hillside on the east side, and a large number of mules and horses were dragged behind the team, and the soldiers began to camp one after another.

If it is a small team, it is almost difficult to survive in such extremely bad weather conditions, but Li Yuanqing and his party made full preparations when they came, and in the follow-up, there is a team of nearly 2,000 soldiers and auxiliaries to assist, and it will not be too much trouble.

The key is that this place is not far from Nogi Hewei, just over a hundred miles northwest of Nogi Hewei.

If it is far away, Li Yuanqing can only wait for the spring of next year to come and investigate.

As the charcoal fire in the makeshift camp was ignited, the orange flames began to spread warmth, the fire soldiers also boiled snow in the cauldron, and everyone gathered around the campfire, and the chill slowly dissipated.

At this time, after roasting the fire for a while, Joseph, who had been frozen like a 'frozen vampire', finally came to his senses, leaned in front of Li Yuanqing, and said in disbelief: "Dashuai, I really can't think of it!" These rumors of the people turned out to be true. We actually found iron ore. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, threw Joseph a cigar, and said with a smile: "Although folk legends have a certain exaggeration, if there is no fact to rely on, it is impossible to spread the word. Northland is a great place! ”

The facts were in front of him, and Joseph was a little unable to describe his inner feelings at this time.

The Ming noble in front of him, whether it is scheming, means, or decisiveness, Jane really has no choice......

I'm afraid~~, only a person like him can turn these ethereal legends into real reality.

Taking a deep breath of his cigar, Joseph couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "Dashuai, if you go to Europe and open a salvage company, you will definitely make a lot of money!" ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing: "Joseph, this idea is good. Wait a minute. When the world is calm and the country and the people are safe, I will definitely seriously consider your idea. ”

After boiling the water and drinking some pine needle tea to warm up, the firefighters began to add snow to the cauldron again, and when the snow melted and the water boiled, they began to cook immediately.

At this time, Li Yuanqing's big tent was also cleaned up by the soldiers and Daisi, and Li Yuanqing also came to the big tent to drink a cup of pine needle tea and sort out his thoughts.

During this period of time, taken by Emperor Chongzhen and the imperial court, coupled with the multiple pressures of Inspector Yuan in all aspects, Li Yuanqing was really a little hot.

Especially in the offensive in the north, it is far from being like in Daming, where you want to fight, at most it is only ten or twenty days, you can arrive, whether it is a mule or a horse, just pull it out and slip away.

At this time, in the Northland, if you want to attack these native tribes, under such bad weather, you can walk hundreds of miles, which is close and extremely smooth......

According to the binding force of the sons and daughters of the Changsheng Camp and Li Yuanqing's high prestige, for a few months, half a year, or even a year, not to fight or win a war, in fact, it is within the scope of bearability.

Li Yuanqing has this capital and is firm.

But after all, it was an ordinary situation, at this time, under the pressure of Daming's internal mountains, Li Yuanqing also had to find a breakthrough and vent well! Boost the morale of your children!

Therefore, he did not hesitate to take risks, only with the help of the proverbs of the common people on the riverside, he came to this deep mountain and old forest to look for 'treasure'.

Fortunately, the sky lived up to his hard work, and he really succeeded!

Iron ore, even if the sons are mud legs, they also know what this means!

Even if ~~, this iron mine is really not big and the output is not high, but the inspiring effect on the entire military spirit is incomparable!

Especially with Li Yuanqing's means.

Taking a deep breath of the cigar and exhaling a long breath of turbidity, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but look up to the sky and shout: "Happy!" Rejoice! ”

Seeing that her father was so relieved for the first time in these days, Daisy's heart couldn't help but be overjoyed, and when she roasted her little hands hot, she came to Li Yuanqing's side and gently kneaded Li Yuanqing's shoulders.

Li Yuanqing was in a good mood and was about to tease Daisy a few words, but outside he heard Yang Lei shouting: "Handsome, happy!" Great joy! Chen Shuai's vanguard happened to meet our stay on the riverside! At most, tonight, Chen Shuai can reach the riverside. Big win, big win! ”
