Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, has a total of five sons, all of whom are tigers and wolves, which is not a disparagement, but a compliment, which means that the Li family is a tiger and a general. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Compared with Li Rusong, who was the chief soldier in Xuanfu, the reputation of the other four is much smaller, Li Rubai is currently only a sub-guard general in Liaozhen, and Li Ruzhen is a guerrilla.

The housekeeper who followed Li Chengliang to Xuanfu was also the son of the Li family, and he also rolled over with Li Chengliang in the sea of blood in the knife mountain, and after coming to Xuanfu, Li Rusong opened the mansion by himself, but the title of this housekeeper has been corrected for a long time, and he has always been called Young Master and Young Master, and now he has changed his name to be called Master.

The generals who surrounded Li Rusong were also the relatives of the Li family, and when they heard the housekeeper say this, they were all stunned, Li Chengliang sent the third young master Li Ruzhen over, what was the matter, if it was an ordinary contact, wouldn't the messenger pass it on?

"Go back and rest and stand by!"

Li Rusong turned around and said, the generals listened to the order, Li Rusong quickened his pace and walked into the main hall, Li Ruzhen is also a stout man, waiting there, seeing Li Rusong walking in, he quickly stood up, Li Rusong didn't politely asked directly: "Is there anything at home?" Is my father still in good health? ”

"Please rest assured, brother, everything is fine at home, and my father's body is still the same as iron."

Li Ruzhen replied with a smile, Li Rusong threw the horsewhip in his hand towards the table, his puzzled expression was even heavier, and he asked again: "What kind of big deal is it, I still want to send you over to contact?" ”

"Brother, Liaozhen is going to use soldiers, you have thousands of old people from our family here, my father said that you should leave four hundred people, and the rest can be transferred back!"

Originally, Li Rusong was just about to sit down, but when he heard this, he stood up violently as if his buttocks were burned, glared at Li Ruzhen and asked: "If you want to use soldiers, our Li family has the strongest soldiers and horses in the world, but if you really have that mind, those people below may have different intentions, and when the time comes, it will definitely lead to a catastrophe of extermination!" ”

"Brother, a little voice, this is heard, even if there is no disaster, it will become a big disaster, my father has already given a big order, in addition to the soldiers and horses left behind in Liaozhen, they are gathering soldiers and horses to Liaoyang, and my father is ready to use troops on Horqin's side."

This time, Li Rusong sat down and asked with a puzzled face: "My father wants to use troops against Horqin, and he also has to call the foundation of Xuanfu, how many people will be moved this time, will all the foundation of the family be thrown away?" ”

Li Ruzhen also sat down and replied: "Not only our family's old foundation, Li Pinghu, Li Ning, Sun Shoulian, and Qin Deyi can fight under their subordinates, and they will all take it out this time." ”

Hearing this, Li Rusong was even more stunned, and when he entered the door, he still said what "Father's teachings", but what he heard now was not those at all, and he was stunned and said: "Father Shuai doesn't often say, if the thieves are cleaned up, there will be nothing to do with the officials, saying that the chickens and dogs on the grassland are not a scourge to stay there, and often lead them in to fight a dozen, you can earn some military merits and wealth, so that the court thinks that we are still useful." ”

"Brother, what kind of old Huang Li are you, you have heard about Wang Tong's affairs in Guihua City, the news reached my father's side, and my father was anxious at that time, saying that Liaozhen was the most important in the world, because we are the strongest, and now Wang Tong is chopping melons and vegetables to clean up my answering department, if we don't move, in the future, the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court will look down on Liaozhen, and the annual silver money allocation may be much less, and this will happen in the long run."

Li Ruzhen said smoothly and skillfully, it can be seen that this was brought over by Li Chengliang, Li Rusong shook his head, and said solemnly: "Transferring so many people from Xuanfu to Liaozhen, if there is no permission from the court, it will be a big crime, besides, the commander of the army on the father's side used troops against Horqin, and the court didn't know what kind of trouble there was, so fast." ”

"The father and the handsome have all been arranged, the second brother has already taken the silver to the Jingshi to carry out activities, and the Ma family and the Li family will also make it convenient for our family, brother hurry up and prepare!!"

**************

Everything in the world is afraid of a comparison, on weekdays, you report more than 100 beheadings, I report dozens of beheadings, everyone is happy.

Even Ma Fang and Wang Tong bought a grade, bought a few thousand, and had to take out the number of two or three hundred a year, so as not to break the rules and be suspected.

But Wang Tong's actions are to directly corrupt this rule, the first big victory outside Xuanfu, the cut is thousands, but this time Xuanfu bought a lot, share each other's profits, the number of under Wang Tong's name is not so amazing, but wait until the victory outside the Gubei mouth, Jizhen, Xuanfu, Huwei Army three armies combined, cut over 10,000, captured thousands, such a result made the other border towns of the nine sides quite embarrassed.

This time, Wang Tong led the army to the north, cut tens of thousands, broke through the Naturalization City, and almost wiped out the Ota Department, and the border towns couldn't sit still.

Every year, he asks the imperial court and the military department for money for various reasons, but he does not see any victory at all, even if he colludes with officials at all levels in the military department to make money, but there must be a reason to make money.

On the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty, on the inventory of the Ministry of War, the smallest number of soldiers is 50,000, but Wang Tong led an army of only 30,000, and he actually has such a record, which is really embarrassing, and it also exposes a problem, why Wang Tong can do it, and the rest of you can't do it.

Among the nine sides, Datong has more or less participated in this battle, Xuanfu and Jizhen have won several battles in recent years, and those border towns to the west of Datong, Yulin, Ningxia, Gansu, Guyuan, etc., often suffer losses left and right, even if they don't want to, they have to pinch their noses and admit it, what will happen to Wang Tong's big victory next, they have to accept it whether they are willing or not.

But Liaozhen is different, Li Chengliang has risen step by step in Liaozhen, step by step to his current position, he does not rely on what is good at meeting and making friends, nor does he rely on luck, but real military exploits.

Since Li Chengliang joined the army, nine out of nine officially known battles have been good news, and military merits have been accumulated, so that Li Chengliang now has the treatment of father and son as a general soldier and a marquis and uncle.

Liao Town is vast, with a population of several million, fertile fields, and abundant production, but the imperial court does not set up civil officials in Liao Town, but only treats it as a military town, and all government affairs in Liao Town are controlled by Li Chengliang alone.

In fact, with the trade between Liao Zhen and various foreign tribes, the production in the fields, as well as the salt tax, the tea tax, and the recent trade with Tianjin Wei, Liao Town's own income is extremely rich, and it is completely easy to support Liao Town's military expenditure, but among the military expenses allocated by the imperial court every year, Liao Town accounts for the largest amount.

Such generous treatment, firstly, because the ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee always think that Guanwai is a wild place, not the ancestral homeland, and there is no need to care, and secondly, Li Chengliang has outstanding military merits, long sleeves and good dancing, and the imperial court should give convenient care in all aspects, and the most important thing is that Li Chengliang knows the truth that the bird is hidden with the bow.

Knowing that if the hostile Mongol and Jurchen tribes were wiped out, then their current monstrous glory and wealth would no longer exist, as long as these tribes were there, then the imperial court would need itself.

Therefore, with the small department of more than 3,000 people mobilized at most on the side of the Taining Department, Li Chengliang actually fought intermittently for five years, and the Jurchen tribes attacked and killed each other, weakening each other, but Li Chengliang could exterminate and annex them all with his own strength, but he never exerted all his strength, and always supported one faction and suppressed one faction.

Just maintain it slowly, if this situation continues, the wealth of the Li family can be maintained, and Li Chengliang also knows that it is not enough to maintain the self-respect of thieves like this, if his own strength is not enough, then he will not be able to win the battle, and he will not be able to deter foreign races.

Therefore, Li Chengliang is among the various border towns, in addition to Jizhen, the most diligent in training, the most willing to spend money, among the Ming army, the general's personal soldiers are the strongest combat power, and the equipment is also the most sophisticated, in Liao Town, the Li family can mobilize more than 6,000 people on horseback and armor, counting the strength of the following generals, more than 10,000 horses and armor can be put together, if you count other soldiers who can be classified in this family category, this force can reach more than 20,000.

This is only the core strength, if you count other soldiers with combat effectiveness, the combat power here in Liaozhen is far more than what they usually embody.

If there was no Wang Tong, such a comfortable life would be maintained, but with Wang Tong, once there is a comparison, Wang Tong's side has played such a brilliant victory with fewer people and less silver, so the consumption of Liaozhen for so many years, giving Li Chengliang such preferential treatment, and whether it is worth it to give such a laissez-faire to Liaozhen, will make the Son of Heaven and the ministers of the court, and even the people of the world have to doubt, the status of Liaozhen, and the glory and wealth of the Li family will be shaken.

In such a situation, the only thing Li Chengliang can do is to win a victory at any cost, and it cannot be too much worse than Wang Tong's victory in northern Xinjiang, so as to prove himself and stabilize his position.

At present, Wang Tong has almost wiped out the Ida Department, who are the similar enemies around Liao Town, the Jurchen Ministries really can't take the table, the remnants of the Taining Department and the Black Mountain Department are not a climate, and they are not successful, the only thing that can be done and can get the assistance of other border towns is in the west of Liao Town, Duolun in the north of Ji Town, which is the core of the Horqin Department, and it is also the most abundant place of water and grass on the grassland.

With such a large army move, the imperial court used to be cautious, but with the example of Wang Tong in front, Li Chengliang said that the military expenditure allocated this year was enough to support this battle, and the courtiers did not want the military generals to be the dominant situation of Wang Tong's family, and the plan of the Liaozhen army to conquer Duolun was quickly approved.
