Thank you for the monthly pass of the book friend 23500078, the light as the breeze, and the wandering brother Lao Yu. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info boat thank you.

In the past few days, Xiaozhou's son has a fever, and he is entangled in mundane things, and Xiaochuan is a little haggard. Hey, man, I'm really tired.

Kneel for collections, red tickets, subscription support. The boat knelt down.

~~~~~~

It was evening, and the sky was like the baby face of an angry child, gloomy as if it could not be unfolded.

Crystal snowflakes floated in front of you, and they were covered with a faint layer of white in the surrounding visible field of vision.

On the high platform of the fort behind the earthen wall, Li Yuanqing wore a tiger skin cloak, a black fur hat, and velvet deerskin boots, accompanied by Xu Heizi, Huang Guoshan, Kong Youde, Shunzi, Li Sansheng, Liu Dadou and other generals of the Changsheng Battalion headquarters, quietly observing the situation of the Houjin army camp opposite.

This high platform, located in the middle of the earthen wall and the camp, is about 123 meters high, and in addition to the watchtower, this is the commanding height of the camp.

At this time, there were four 8-pounder guns and five 6-pounder guns on the high platform, which was the central core of the entire camp's firepower.

In front of the earthen fortifications, which stretched for four miles and nearly five miles, there were four such forts, which were basically spaced at intervals of one mile.

With this central fort as the core, there are two on the west side and one more on the east side of the riverbank wharf.

Li Yuanqing knew very well that according to the defensive situation at this time, the direction in which the Houjin army might launch an attack was mostly the land on the west side, and the probability of attacking from the river bank was almost zero.

However, the Jiang'an Wharf was the lifeline of the Ming Army, even if it was surrounded by swamps and it was difficult for manpower to set foot on it, Li Yuanqing still did not dare to slack off, and still built seven Furlong machine guns on the battery of the Jiang'an Wharf, which was the second core firepower point in addition to the central core.

At this time, although it was common defense with Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, Chen Zhong's department was almost equivalent to the vassals of the Changsheng Battalion, and Zhang Pan was also absolutely obedient to Li Yuanqing, but to a large extent, whether it was Chen Zhong or Zhang Pan, they all had a lot of autonomy.

The most critical battle and tough battle still depends on the sons and daughters of the Immortal Camp.

In the final analysis, according to the situation at this time, Li Yuanqing no longer has too much desire for merit, he has made too many merits, if he makes another great contribution, I am afraid that the imperial court will have nothing to reward Li Yuanqing again.

Not to mention, there is also Mao Wenlong's side.

The so-called 'wood shows in the forest, and the wind will destroy it'.

At this time, whether it was Chen Zhong or Zhang Pan, or a large number of generals and officials in Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang headquarters, their desires and demands were too many, but the imperial court was far from being able to meet them.

Just like Zhang Pan, Chen Jisheng, and Mao Chenglu before, they set up a 'Hongmen banquet' for Li Yuanqing, because their thirst could not be expressed and their interests could not be guaranteed, and they hoped that Li Yuanqing, who had 'great powers', could pull them along.

Before, because there had been no opportunity, Li Yuanqing could only help them earn some money and improve their lives on the side, but at this time, the opportunity had appeared, and Li Yuanqing would naturally take advantage of it.

To put it more bluntly.

In the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, the civil and official group has a firm grip on the entire Jiangshan Society, although Li Yuanqing's merits are greater than the country, but in their eyes, he Li Yuanqing is just a mud leg, a chess piece in their hands.

It's like a night pot, if you need it, you can bring it up and use it, and if you don't need it, you will kick it away.

Although there are many so-called 'military affairs' people such as Sun Chengzong, Sun Yuanhua, and Wang Zaijin in the imperial court, they are either low-minded and low-handed, or their positions are unstable, even if they have a role in promoting the overall situation, but they are extremely limited.

And even if it is the only interest, most of them are controlled by the generals, and it is not the turn of the Dongjiang gang of mud legs at all.

Li Yuanqing does not deny that he has his ambitions.

But at this stage, in addition to stabilizing the overall situation of Liaodi and maintaining the general trend from collapse, his most critical task is to ensure his own safety first.

And if you want to ensure your own safety, you don't need to be invincible and 'indispensable', just like Mao Wenlong, in the end, but just a test stone for careerists.

Just as He Sheng said in Macau, "Hello everyone, is really good".

Li Yuanqing has been able to get to this day completely through the accumulation of the head of the Tartar, and to a large extent, he is the 'outlier' of the Ming Dynasty.

And if you want to get rid of this heterogeneous title, the best way is to let a hundred flowers bloom and improve the status of martial artists.

If there were more soldiers in Liaodi and the weight of discourse, Li Yuanqing would not be so dazzling when he was in the crowd.

Of course, on the western side of Liaoning, Li Yuanqing will definitely not be able to take care of it, the main force of the Dongjiang headquarters, and Li Yuanqing is also a little out of reach at this time.

But Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan in front of him, Li Yuanqing is quite sure that he will 'help them to the Tao', so as to dilute his existence to a certain extent.

In fact, with the course of history, the era of the suppression of the literati by the warriors will soon come.

It's just that that way is too bloody, and it completely burns the essence and blood of the Chinese nation, harming others and not benefiting oneself.

According to Li Yuanqing's identity and status at this time, if he follows the trend of history, he can become the biggest beneficiary, and after a certain node, absorb the essence of the Dongjiang River.

For a long time before, Li Yuanqing also planned to do so.

But at this time, with the gradual rise of his status and the gradual broadening of his horizons, Li Yuanqing gave up this idea.

Since ancient times, the Chinese people have pursued the 'unity of heaven and man' and 'rule by inaction'.

Although Li Yuanqing couldn't understand it thoroughly at this time, he had already touched some doorways.

Taizu once said, 'Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Emperor and Song Ancestor'.

Including the later Genghis Khan, the cattle herding baby Zhu Chongba.

They are all dragons and phoenixes among people, and the pride of the sky, but they also have a common characteristic, 'they can share hardships, but it is difficult to share prosperity.' ’

And in this, the best one is undoubtedly Zhao Laoer.

The ten brothers of the Righteous Society, a glass of wine to release the military power, although the truth is the same, but he used the softest way.

The brothers surrendered their military power, defused the threat, and then the good land and beautiful houses, fine wines and beautiful women, could enjoy the wealth and prosperity, and they could die a good death.

Although the third child was not authentic later, killed his brother and deceived his sister-in-law, and ruined the perfection of the ending, to a large extent, this is a good story in history.

Li Yuanqing is not a saint, if anyone infringes on his interests, he will definitely not have any mercy, but if there is a chance, he is willing to ensure the interests of these old brothers to the greatest extent, and by the way, he will bring up the new little brothers.

The north wind was whistling, mixed with snowflake fragments, and the temperature was afraid that it would drop by more than ten degrees at once.

But on the high platform, the spirit of the people is excellent, and being able to go on the expedition means that they will have merits and rewards.

Xu Heizi smiled: "General, this is really God helping us!" After this snowfall, the land will be frozen, and it will not be so easy for the Tartars to launch an offensive. ”

Junzi smiled: "I'm afraid these dog tartars won't come up." They kept being so inky that my hands were itching. ”

Kong Youde said with a smile: "I'm not in a hurry, when the sky is good, just try the power of this artillery." ”

The artillery battalion was originally under the command of Yang Xiaochuan, but Yang Xiaochuan was going to sail to Japan, this expedition, he lacked skills, Kong Youde was very interested in firearms, Li Yuanqing was also willing to be an adult, and handed over the work of supervising the artillery battalion to Kong Youde.

This kid didn't disappoint Li Yuanqing either, in the past few days, almost all of him has been eating and drinking on this fort, so he can't wait to sleep with the cannon in his arms.

Looking at the vigorous mental state of the sons and daughters around him, Li Yuanqing felt a lot more relaxed, and said with a smile: "Although the weather is favorable to us, we must not neglect all aspects of affairs." Especially on the dock side, you have to be cautious and cautious. ”

"Yes!" The generals fell to their knees.

Li Yuanqing smiled, "Okay." It's not too early. Later, everyone will go to eat in my tent. On the side of the prison army, everyone should serve well. ”

How could everyone not understand what Li Yuanqing meant? Hurriedly smiled: "General, don't worry. We promise to serve the Warden properly. ”

…………

After a lively dinner, he sent Wei Liang and the generals away, and went to drink a few glasses of wine with Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan, and then Li Yuanqing returned to the big tent.

Inside the big tent, it has been properly packed.

In the auxiliary tent, Nian'er lit a few braziers, and the red charcoal fire crackled, dispelling most of the chill and smoking the space inside as warm as spring.

Seeing Li Yuanqing coming, Nian'er hurriedly greeted her, "Master, the slave maid serves you to undress." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and actually stood on the spot, letting Nian'er do his work.

"Master, the slave will go and make you tea." helped Li Yuanqing drag his clothes, and Nian'er was about to make tea.

Li Yuanqing grabbed her little hand, "Nian'er, you don't need to make tea." The master is a little tired, so help the master pinch his head. ”

"Yes." Nian'er hurriedly climbed onto the wooden bed and helped Li Yuanqing rub his temples.

Nian'er had already had a very tacit understanding with Li Yuanqing, the strength of his little hands was just right, and after a while, Li Yuanqing's body gradually relaxed, and his mind became clearer.

After today, the Jin army will set up camp, and if nothing happens, tomorrow, the offensive will come.

As Zhao Lao Er said, 'On the side of the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?' ’

The location of Zhenjiang is too critical, and the Houjin army will never allow Li Yuanqing to bury the nail here, and they are estimated to have worked hard, wanting to take this opportunity to wipe out Li Yuanqing and never suffer in the future.

Although Li Yuanqing had great confidence in the defense of his own camp, the Houjin Army, as the strongest combat force in East Asia at this time, should not be underestimated.

Especially on land, their mobility can almost crown the world at this time.

However, in this campaign, the core tactical idea has been drawn up.

The Changsheng Battalion will only provide strong long-range fire support in this battle, and will give the lead to Chen Zhong and Zhang Pan.

Although Zhang Pan has no soldiers, his two thousand auxiliary soldiers are all young and strong, even if the enemy can't fight head-on, it is still very good to serve Chen Zhong as a reserve.

Zhang Pan also fully understood what Li Yuanqing meant, this was Li Yuanqing helping him shape his blood and bones, and he wanted to firmly grasp this opportunity.

As for the Changsheng Camp, Li Yuanqing also has a belly case.

Meritorious rewards, whether it is Li Yuanqing or his sons, I am afraid, are destined to be difficult to get too much.

But materially, Li Yuanqing will make up for his sons.

Anyway, in essence, the Changsheng Battalion has turned into Li Yuanqing's private army, even if the imperial court does not give it, according to Li Yuanqing's financial resources and means, this will not be difficult for him at all.

This is like a hydraulic rod, minus one point is less, add one point is more, how to grasp it, it all depends on the strength of the master.

Snowflakes scattered on the tent with rhythmic sounds, and occasionally a gust of north wind swept by, making the tent 'whine'.

Nian'er rubbed her temples hard for Li Yuanqing, and Fang's heart was full of joy and anticipation.

Every night, this is the moment she looks forward to the most, only at this moment, she can completely stay with this mountain-tall man, feel his careful care, forget everything on weekdays.

However, today seems to be a little different, half an hour has passed, but Li Yuanqing did not make the slightest movement, as if he was asleep.

Nian'er hurriedly approached Li Yuanqing's side, but found that Li Yuanqing had already fallen asleep, and his breathing had become very even.

Looking at Li Yuanqing's childlike sleeping appearance, Nian'er suddenly felt unspeakably distressed.

Li Yuanqing has always been like a mountain that is beyond the reach of mortals, always in front of her, sheltering her from the wind and rain.

But at this moment, Nian'er suddenly discovered that Li Yuanqing was actually very fragile, and his heavy and complicated work occupied most of his time, and it was difficult for him to even have a chance to rest quietly like an ordinary person.

After quietly looking at Li Yuanqing's face for a while, Nian'er suddenly reacted, and hurriedly helped Li Yuanqing to lie down on the bed and covered the quilt.

After a while, she stripped off her clothes again, like a mermaid, and got into Li Yuanqing's quilt and gently hugged his head......
