Chapter 878: The Stars Are Bright!

~~~~~~

The reason why the Shang brothers chased them to the mouth of the whistle river to find Li Yuanqing was that, on the one hand, it was to be familiar with Li Yuanqing and maintain a two-way relationship. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

On the other hand, he wanted to take advantage of Li Yuanqing's expedition to be able to follow behind Li Yuanqing and ask for some color and soup to drink.

After all.

The two brothers have just been separated from Kashima, and they are not yet fully established, and they urgently need a victory to consolidate their position and give Mao Wenlong peace of mind.

Li Yuanqing naturally knows this.

To a large extent, if conditions permit, Li Yuanqing would not mind mentioning these two 'little brothers' and helping them gain a firm foothold.

The sedan chair carries people, and everyone collects firewood and the flame is high.

Especially Shang Kexi's prestige in history, that is by no means covered.

Li Yuanqing also wants to see what kind of ability this front-line backbone of Dongjiang Group has.

In fact, the inherent history has undergone great changes since Li Yuanqing appeared.

The most obvious point is Mao Wenlong's dandelion strategy.

On the normal historical track, Mao Wenlong and the Dongjiang force were in small decline, and in the face of the powerful Houjin army, there was no strength to confront head-on, so Mao Wenlong had to pursue the 'dandelion' strategy, and divided a large number of Dongjiang officers into various places, so that they could take root and sprout on their own.

On the one hand, let the officers everywhere create space to pull the overall defense of the entire Houjin Army and win breathing time for the main force.

On the other hand, the two sides complement each other's advantages, the headquarters feeds back the branch, and the branch feeds back the headquarters.

In the most primitive way, but also the most sensible way, he was entangled with the main force of Houjin on the Eastern Front.

But at this time, because of the rise of Li Yuanqing and southern Liaoning, the situation has changed dramatically.

With Li Yuanqing and southern Liaoning involved, Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang have suddenly reduced their pressure, and they have been able to calmly carry out various infrastructure constructions, secretly expand their intelligence network, and constantly promote and promote the development of their own equipment and weapons.

At this time, the main force of the Dongjiang headquarters, even in the face of the main force of the Houjin Army, will never fall too far behind, and it can completely play with the main force of the Houjin.

This time, it is obviously better to divide the rope than to twist it into a force.

This also made Mao Wenlong's previous 'dandelion' strategy a great change.

But things are constantly evolving, and at this point, the limitations of Phi Dao's small territory and poor materials became apparent.

In particular, the Dongjiang headquarters has a large number of officials, and the strategic resources are seriously insufficient, coupled with the examples of Zhang Pan and Chen ~ Liangce are placed here, it is not surprising that Mao Wenlong can change his strategy.

Regarding Mao Wenlong's 'dandelion' strategy, Li Yuanqing is approving and supportive.

There is an old saying in Huaxia, 'success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He'.

There is a saying that later generations translated, that is, 'eggs must not be put in just one basket'.

On the one hand, the division of the Dongjiang River can expand the influence of the Dongjiang headquarters and implant its roots in the depths of the Liaohai Sea, and on the other hand, the strategic depth of the entire Eastern Front will be greatly improved.

It's just that the entire structure of the Dongjiang headquarters is still the old routine of the Ming army, the 'patriarchal system'.

This is also in history, as soon as Mao Wenlong died, the entire Dongjiang River fell apart in an instant, whether it was Chen Jisheng or Huanglong, it was impossible to support the entire Dongjiang shelf.

But at this time, this is an excellent opportunity for Li Yuanqing......

…………

On the morning of the next day, Li Yuanqing held an enlarged meeting of officers at and above the general level in a temporary tent on the beach.

Shang Kexi, Shang Keyi, and more than a dozen officers, including Xu Erxian and Ban Zhifu, who were their confidants, attended the meeting as observers.

At this time, the Shang brothers also fully understood that Li Yuanqing's raid was not a large-scale frontal military operation, but only a graduation drill for the generals of the military academy......

But even so, Li Yuanqing and his generals can have such a harvest...... This.. This is just jaw-dropping for them.

In the big tent, Li Yuanqing sat on the main seat and his tiger skin throne with a golden sword.

This was transported by the fleet, and at the same time, Li Yuanqing's personal guards also followed, and Li Yuanqing was able to restore his original reliance and etiquette.

Chen Zhong is also a tiger skin throne, to the left of Li Yuanqing. The same is true of his guards, of his manners.

Yang Miaocai's side is a little worse, just a deerskin.

However, after all, he is a civil servant and a Beijing official, and in terms of etiquette, he is higher than all the generals, and he is on the right side of Chen Zhong.

Below, there are Duan Xiliang, Kong Youde, Chen Changyou, Xun Meng, Zhang Lianfu, Lu Jinshan, and Shang Keyi, Shang Keyi, and other front-line generals.

At this time, standing from Li Yuanqing's point of view, he condescendingly glanced at the past, which was simply star-studded and the stars were shining!

Except for the Geng family brothers who are still working in the Dongjiang headquarters at this time, it is no exaggeration to say that at this time------,, everyone here, at least----, they will control the Ming Dynasty and Huaxia for the next fifty years!!

But at this time, each of them looked at Li Yuanqing, who was on the throne of tiger skin, with incomparable admiration and respect.

Li Yuanqing's mood was also extremely happy.

There are so many good sons in front of him, and so many good sons and daughters serving under his command, why worry about big things? Why worry about the immortality of the Tartars?

"Brothers, the current composition of our army, the strength of the troops, the situation of food and materials, all of you brothers now have a number in your hearts. What do you have to think about the specific next move of our army? Let's discuss it together, don't be nervous, don't be restrained. ”

In the last few words, Li Yuanqing looked at the Shang family brothers and the Kashima officers under their command with a smile.

Shang Kexi, Shang Keyi, and a group of Kashima officers felt their faces glow when they landed.

In the land of China, it has always been about 'seniority'.

To some extent, seniority is even more important than official position.

If it is placed in the past, with their 'seniority' and identity that is still gratifying, in this kind of military discussion at the level of the double general army and the civilian supervising army, they can only be regarded as a 'display' and kowtow back and forth.

Don't talk about it, I'm afraid I don't even dare to let out a fart.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing directly pointed out their right to speak and gave them the right to speak, how could they not be excited?

On the side, Chen Zhong understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and said with a smile: "Brothers, don't be nervous, if you have any ideas, just say them boldly, let's discuss them together." Yuanji, you are the head snake of the ground, you are familiar with the surrounding terrain, so you will talk first. ”

Shang Kexi was a little nervous.

Although he was in his twenties and almost thirty, he really had never spoken at such a large meeting, more than 100 people, all high-ranking officers.

However, Shang Kexi is a Jiangmen Huzi after all, since he was born, he has followed his father Shang Xueli to guard the border passes, and he is extremely familiar with the terrain of the entire Liaodi.

After pondering for a moment, he hurriedly got up, first respectfully hugged his fists at Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Yang Miaocai, and then turned around and hugged his fists at the many officers in the tent, "Li Shuai, Chen Shuai, Lord Yang, brothers, since Li Shuai and Chen Shuai want to say a few words about their humble positions, then they will talk about their thoughts of humble positions." Of course, it's just the words of the humble family, if there is anything wrong, please also ask the brothers Haihanna. ”

After all, he is a 'veteran oil', and he is still happy in terms of etiquette, so naturally there will not be the slightest problem, which caused a burst of goodwill laughter from the officers.

Feeling the kindness of the brothers, Shang Kexi's self-confidence has also recovered a lot, and he has reined in his mind and said loudly: "Brothers, with humble speculation, Li Shuai, Chen Shuai and the brothers have done such a big deal in Qingtaiyubao and Lianshanguan, and I am afraid that the Tartars will never give up. Especially at this time, we still have the younger brother of Mang Gurtai's favorite concubine in hand, and Mang Gurtai is afraid that he must send out his evil fire! It's just that we have the advantage of the navy, and we are worried that Mang Gurtai is likely to divert the spearhead and focus his attention on the eastern front! ”

Long before the start of the meeting, Shang Kexi had already done his homework and analyzed the entire overall situation very thoroughly.

The officers in the tent whispered in a low voice, obviously agreeing with Shang Keg's conclusion.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong glanced at each other, and they couldn't help but smile.

Shang Kexi, this kid, does still have some ability.

On the side, Yang Miaocai was also quietly watching the heroic Ming army guerrilla in front of him.

Yang Miaocai can clearly feel that Li Yuanqing has a good impression of this young Ming army guerrilla, and his intention to win over and promote him is a bit overflowing......

If Yang Miaocai stands from the perspective of the imperial court...... Naturally, he would not allow such a thing to happen......

But at this time, even himself, is. . . has become Li Yuanqing's 'lackey'...... Naturally, they have lost their voice in this area.

However, Yang Miaocai had already thought about it at this time.

The stronger Li Yuanqing is, the better it will be for him, and only the stronger Li Yuanqing is, the more support he will have from Li Yuanqing.

In such a state of affairs, Yang Miaocai also wanted to take a good look at what Li Yuanqing would do.

At this time, Li Yuanqing smiled and said: "Yuanji, according to your thoughts, at this time, how should our army deal with itself?" ”

Shang Kexi was already confident at this time.

Although he still didn't understand Li Yuanqing's strategic intentions at this time, he knew that with so many burdens and slaves, Li Yuanqing would definitely make good use of the sea and the navy.

Hurriedly smiled: "Back to Li Shuai's words." From a humble point of view, even if Mang Gurtai wants to harass the Eastern Front, he must first find our whereabouts. If he can't determine our location, it will be like a fish in his throat, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to dare to boldly invade the Eastern Front. In addition, Huang Taiji's conservative defense strategy was set before. Even if Mang Gurtai is bold, he will never dare to act rashly if he is afraid. Li Shuai, with humble considerations, let's set up camp in a location with good resources in the surrounding areas, and send more sentries to explore the location of the Mang Gurtai Department. Best, I can seduce him......"

…………

The military discussion was over, and it was already noon.

Li Yuanqing finally adopted a passive but active offensive defensive strategy that was still gratifying.

With the support of the fleet and the sea, no matter what Mang Gurtai did, the Ming army was already invincible in advance.

The next step, the most crucial thing, is to seduce Mang Gultai into the bait and see how much meat he has left.

Although the military discussion did not take much effort, it was quite exhausting, and the officers were already hungry.

Fortunately, the firefighters had already prepared a sumptuous meal. After the military discussion, the officers quickly began to line up to eat in an orderly manner.

Although the officers on Kashima's side are still a little uncomfortable with the rhythm of the officers in southern Liaoning, after all, they are all officers who have undergone strict training, and they are very aware of the strictness of military discipline.

In the regulations of the military academy, lunch is considered wartime, and it is necessary to drink less alcohol to keep out the cold, but it must not be drunk freely.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's lunch was also very simple.

After a brief lunch and the affairs of the sentinel were arranged, Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and Yang Miaocai came to the east side of the camp to check the status of the livestock.

Although when retreating from Qingtaiyubao and Lianshanguan, the Ming army returned a lot of forage for a while, but the amount was not much, mainly because it was not easy to carry.

If the Ming army wants to stay here for a while, they must prepare more forage.

At this time, although it is already autumn, the weather has cooled down a lot, but the surrounding area, pigweed and all kinds of forage, is still very prosperous, with these slaves in hand, and there are veterinary experts like Badaru, the problem is not big.
