Wang Yining was also born in Liaodong, and he took Mao Wenlong's car long before the surprise attack on Zhenjiang. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Before conquering Zhenjiang, Wang Yining made a lot of efforts in the liaison with the city.

To a certain extent, he should be regarded as the guide of Chen ~ Liangce, the local gang generals in Zhenjiang.

It's just that this person is a little arrogant and thinks highly of himself, Li Yuanqing was just a pawn at the time, and he had no dealings with him, let alone friendships.

This is also the temperament of a literati, I'm afraid that Mao Wenlong is just a vulgar martial artist in his heart.

Li Yuanqing was not very interested in these literati, and for a long time, he had not heard anything about Wang Yining, and when he heard Chen Jisheng mention it, he hurriedly asked: "Big brother, I don't have any friendship with him, and I ask my big brother to solve my doubts." ”

Chen Jisheng smiled faintly, "He is Yuan Keli's person." Now it's Denglaitong's sentence. ”

"Yuan Keli?" Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly.

Although Li Yuanqing does not have a thorough understanding of the major affairs of the DPRK and China, he has still heard of the name of Yuan Keli, the boss of Denglai who has just taken office.

This lord is also a rare powerful faction in the court now, he has gone through three dynasties, although he is over the age of six, but he has a strong posture of going up.

"Big brother, what do you mean~~~~, he was originally Yuan Keli's person?" Li Yuanqing said in a low voice.

Chen Jisheng smiled and nodded.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing's back couldn't help but feel a little cold.

This~~~, what kind of scheming should this be?

Before the surprise attack on Zhenjiang, this master had already extended his hand to Mao Wenlong, so now, he is in charge of Denglai, this side of the Dongjiang River......

Chen Jisheng smiled: "So, Yuanqing, you don't have to worry too much. We, old brothers, have to form a group. ”

…………

After chatting with Chen Jisheng for a few more words, Li Yuanqing excused himself to be unwell and returned to the post house at the foot of the mountain to rest.

There was a vast drizzle in the sky, filled with a faint smell of sea, Li Yuanqing shrank in the quilt, and his heart was numb for a while.

The rapid development of the Dongjiang Army is indeed gratifying, but behind this rapid development, all kinds of complicated entanglements have been covered up.

For example, Chen ~ Liangce, these local gangs in Zhenjiang, want to be reused in the future, I'm afraid they ......

Li Yuanqing also secretly rejoiced, fortunately he had the foresight to leave Phi Island ahead of schedule and set up his own business, otherwise, he would have been caught in this muddy water, what would happen is really unpredictable.

Moreover, from Chen Jisheng's words, the dispute between the old and the new seems to have begun to rub out sparks.

Rubbing his temples tiredly, Li Yuanqing simply stopped thinking about these things.

As the old saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds.

Now, the Dongjiang River is like a sponge, which is constantly and endlessly absorbed, and it is inevitable that there will be chaos.

As long as Mao Wenlong is there, everything should still be under control.

Otherwise, Li Yuanqing can't do much, but ~~, the relationship between these old brothers, it must be dealt with, as for Chen ~ Liangce, these people......

If the opportunity is right, it is not impossible to pull them.

…………

The next day, early in the morning, Li Yuanqing came to Mao Wenlong's official residence and bid him farewell.

Although the trip to the Dongjiang headquarters was quite pleasant, Li Yuanqing also felt more things.

If you say too much, it is all false, only if you have a hard foundation, you can stand on your feet, and the wind will not fall, even if there are twists and turns in the future, there will be more ways to deal with and choices.

Mao Wenlong was in good spirits, smiled and encouraged Li Yuanqing a few words, and then asked his soldiers to take Li Yuanqing to get food, rewards, and Dingkou supplemented by the headquarters.

Mao Chenglu and Zhang Pan were responsible for these affairs, and the process had already been completed in the afternoon.

Li Yuanqing received nearly 20,000 taels of silver, more than 1,000 young and strong, as well as 10 horses, dozens of mules, Zhang Pan and Mao Chenglu arranged a fleet for Li Yuanqing, and sent Li Yuanqing to the ship.

"Yuanqing, have a good trip. When you have time to go to Changsheng Island, you land lord, don't forget to entertain you. Mao Chenglu waved his hand vigorously at Li Yuanqing on the bow of the boat.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "That's nature." Two big brothers, take care. ”

"Take care."

The fleet traveled all the way to the west, and Li Yuanqing's mood gradually became clearer.

Dare to ask where the road is?

The road is at your feet.

Two days later, Li Yuanqing successfully returned to Changsheng Island.

Shang Lao Liu and Ma Deqiang hurriedly led everyone out to greet them.

Although the Lushun Guard Battle lasted nearly a month, the casualties of the Changsheng Battalion were very small and almost negligible.

After some passing scenes, Li Yuanqing came to the familiar Taishi chair in the official hall and half-lay down, Lotus Root served tea, and Shang Lao Liu and Ma Deqiang also came over to report the details.

During this period of time, the general situation on the island was basically stable, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

It is expected that in October, the first batch of green vegetables on the island, such as bitter vegetables and green vegetables, can be picked and eaten, which will alleviate the grain pressure on many islands.

On the blacksmith's side, more than 200 bird guns, spears, and armor were made, which were still the bulk of the island's expenses. Every month, the cost is more than 5,000 taels.

Li Yuanqing said that it is acceptable, the so-called 'if you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools'.

In order to develop Changsheng Island, strengthening the army is the first priority, and in terms of weaponry, we must not be stingy, but must further increase investment.

Moreover, it is the military marriage of the soldiers, Shang Lao Liu and Ma Deqiang have also worked hard during this time, and it is also a top priority.

Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, the matter of the military marriage is almost ready. The selection of strong women of appropriate age has been completed, and there are nearly 5,000 people. Now that the weather is just right, let's pick an auspicious day and implement this matter first. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, so that the soldiers have a sense of belonging, marriage and family are very important weights.

This is also Li Yuanqing's guarantee to his sons.

"Brother Shang, you can discuss this matter with Steward Ma. The sooner the better. When the time comes, I will attend. ”

The two hurriedly nodded.

Steward Ma also reported to Li Yuanqing on the government affairs during this period, including the distribution of houses, land reclamation, and various livestock farms.

The distribution of houses is nearing the end, and the soldiers are ranked according to seniority and merit, which is not too much of a twist and turn, but in terms of land, there is a new problem to face.

Changsheng Island is not rich in land, the key is that the current settlement areas are all on the side of Nanxinkou, and to allocate wasteland means to spread, which is difficult to complete in a short period of time.

Li Yuanqing said: "Land distribution will be carried out sooner or later. We have to plan ahead. Now, there are a lot more manpower on the island, and what can't be done before is now available. After the military marriage is completed, this is the top priority, and you two will have to work a lot hard. ”

Shang Lao Liu and Steward Ma hurriedly nodded, and seeing that Li Yuanqing was tired, the two of them were about to leave.

Shang Lao Liu patted his head, "Yuanqing, there is another matter, I almost forgot to tell you." Some time ago, proprietor Yang sent a batch, a batch of ......"

Shang Lao Liu couldn't think of how to describe it for a while, and looked at Ma Deqiang busily.

Steward Ma hurriedly said: "General, it's a white-haired ghost, and there are some black charcoal slaves, all of whom are little girls. ”

Li Yuanqing also remembered that there was such a thing, and couldn't help but smile, "I know about this." Go ahead and get busy. ”

"Yes."

Watching the two leave, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile.

It's been a few months since I came back from Jingshi, and presumably, that ghost guy Joseph is almost grinding it out now.

…………

Joseph was depressed, really depressed.

Originally, when he met Li Yuanqing, he thought that he had met the gold master and met someone who could change his fate, but the hateful thing was that this lowly yellow-skinned monkey simply treated him as a monkey, although he bought his slave, he directly treated him as air, causing him to stay in Beijing for a few months in vain.

Finally, they came to this unknown desert island, but they were told that their general had gone on an expedition and did not know when they would return.

At last I heard that the general had returned, but after five or six days, he had urged the damned servant a dozen times, but he had never received any reply.

Today, Joseph couldn't bear it anymore, and he had to meet this hateful Oriental magnate.

It just so happened that the servant who was guarding him in this humble inn today, and he didn't know what to do, so he secretly opened the door and came out into the street.

In fact, although he was 'imprisoned' in the inn, at least, as Joseph thought, in reality, the servants did not restrict his freedom.

During the day, he has plenty of room to move around the town.

It's a pity that this town doesn't even have a grocery store, and there are those hateful servants around him, which is no different from a prisoner, Joseph has to be restricted wherever he wants to go, and today he finally has this opportunity, he must wander around the town, find the residence of that hateful Oriental magnate, talk to him well, and let him know the consequences of offending him, a traditional nobleman.

Although the street is very simple, the street has been paved with bluestones, and there are wide stone slabs in the middle, so even if there is a slight drizzle in the sky today, the road is not too muddy, and there are already signs of the city.

Joseph also saw that this oriental magnate must be a new nobleman, because the land under his feet seemed to be just emerging.

It's just that to Joseph's surprise, it's almost noon, and it's about to be dinner, but there is no one to see on the street, which is obviously very different from usual, is something going on?

As he walked, Joseph looked around, looking for clues.

Soon, he noticed something unusual, many of these nasty houses had red lanterns hanging at the doors, what did this mean?

As he was hesitating, Joseph suddenly heard the excited shouts of a large crowd in the distance, as if there were many people.

Joseph couldn't help but smile disdainfully, what kind of tricks are these nasty yellow-skinned monkeys doing?

But the footsteps were rushing in the direction of the sound.

Soon he came to the source of the sound, a wide square, or rather, a barracks that had not yet had time to be built.

At this time, there are many people here, and the black pressure is overwhelming, and there is no edge to be seen, and I am afraid that there must be tens of thousands of people.

All around, bright red silk cloth is hung, giving people the feeling of being so festive.

"What are these people doing? Is it the Oriental magnate who wants to get married? Joseph thought as he hurried into the crowd.
