Li Qing looked at the snowman for a long time.

"Is the gentleman good-looking?" Three daughters show off.

Li Qing smiled and said softly, "It's good-looking." ”

With nothing to do, Li Qing also learned to build a snowman, he wanted to build the appearance of the three girls, but many attempts were fruitless, only in exchange for the ridicule of the three girls, "It's not like it, it's not like it at all." ”

……

Relaxed and comfortable days, always pass quickly, in the blink of an eye, the dumplings become Lantern Festival, and in the blink of an eye, the fruit trees in the courtyard send out tender shoots.

Winter turns to spring, the snowman melts, and as far as the eye can see, it is full of life.

The elite of Jizhou, Zhending, Jinan and other places rushed to Beijing to inspect the people's situation Zhu Zhanji, who also rushed back.

The expedition was imminent, and the Beijing camp also began to mobilize, and Li Qing and Zhang Fu were busy adjusting grain all day.

During this period, the military department was so busy that his feet did not touch the ground, and he almost broke his legs.

"Yushangshu, it's all done." Yu Qian gasped for breath and came to the back hall of the yamen.

"Sit." Li Qing lifted the teapot and poured a cup of warm tea and pushed it in front of Yu Qian.

After getting along for so long, Yu Qian was less in awe of him and more cordial, and drank it all in one gob.

Li Qing smiled and poured him another glass.

Yu Qian held the teacup and asked, "Lord Shangshu still has orders?" ”

After getting along for so long, he has a certain understanding of this Shangshu.

- You are not polite to anyone, and once you are polite, it will be no good thing.

"This Northern Expedition, you are with this official." Li Qing got straight to the point.

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and hesitated, "The national policy of the south's people moving north is continuing, and the lower officials still need to supervise, some... I can't pull away. ”

He is a civil official, and he doesn't like to fight and kill, although he looks at martial arts very well, but he always believes that if you want the country and the people to be safe, you must rule by civility, not war.

"What you are responsible for, hand over to the matter." Li Qing couldn't refuse, "Follow me." ”

Yu Qian arched his hand, "The lower official obeys the order." ”

Seeing that he looked unhappy, Li Qing smiled and said, "What? Is it afraid of the hardships of the march, or is it afraid of going to the battlefield? ”

"I'm not afraid!" Yu Qian shook his head, "It's just that the lower officials are not good at military affairs, although they have also read military books, but they have not experienced the real battlefield, I am afraid that they will not be able to serve the country." ”

"If you have such an awareness, you have surpassed many people." Li Qing smiled, "It's okay if you haven't experienced it, isn't this time just to take you through it, hehe...... Skills are not pressing! ”

Li Qing took a sip of tea, "You can't use it, but you can't." ”

Yu Qian scratched his head, not understanding the meaning of these words, but understanding that this Northern Expedition, he would not be able to go.

"Dare to ask Lord Shangshu, when will you leave?"

"About five days later."

Yu Qian nodded: "It's still too late at that time, and the next official will go and hand over the migration of the people." ”

"Well, go get busy!" Li Qingdao said, "I won't use the yamen after I am busy, and I will rest for two days." ”

Yu Qian was stunned, and thanked him, "The next official retires." ”

As soon as he walked on the front foot, Zhu Zhanji came on the back foot.

"Uncle Qing, what do you think of my gun?" There is only Li Qing in the back hall, and Zhu Zhanji is called in private.

He boasted: "This is made of the heart of the best cow tendon tree, carefully polished, and then soaked in tung oil for three days, picked up handy, not afraid of ordinary swords, and this spear head ......"

Li Qing was too lazy to listen to him, reached out and took the spear, and came to the courtyard to play, don't say, it's really easy to use.

"You go back and have someone do it again, and it's completely in time." Li Qing couldn't put it down, "This shot is back to me." ”

"You think it's beautiful, I'm just going to let you see it." Zhu Zhanji was willing to cut his love, and immediately reached out to grab it, but he couldn't touch Li Qing at all.

Zhu Zhanji was anxious, "You pay me back quickly." ”

"I'm your bodyguard, how can I protect you without a weapon?" Li Qing said lightly, "Do you still want to go out with the army?" ”

"I'm ......" Zhu Zhanji choked, "You pay me back first, and I'll go back and let someone make you a shot." ”

"That's a good shot." Li Qing smiled and said, "You can let someone make a shot for yourself." ”

When the good things are in his hands, how can they be returned?

"You ......" Zhu Zhanji was angry, he knew that this was the case, and he would never show off.

"Okay, I'll teach you two more tricks when I go back." Li Qing didn't have a good breath and said, "Look at your stinginess." ”

"That's... Okay, you can't break your promise. Zhu Zhanji's face softened a little.

Li Qing said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will guarantee my character." ”

Just your character...... Zhu Zhanji rolled his eyes, "You still have to take the promise of Yulu, if you go back and break your promise, I will let the imperial grandfather detain you." ”

Li Qing: -_-||

Should I say it or not, this gun is really easy to use, it feels good to wield, and the feel is also first-class.

Li Qing played for a while, and went home happily with a gun.

~

"Sir, are you going to war?" Wan Ling asked, her eyes revealing a hint of reluctance.

Li Qing nodded and said with a smile: "It won't take long to come back, and it is estimated that it will only be three months." ”

Now that the capital has been moved to Beiping, it can save a lot of time by going back and forth, and with the reform of the supply line, it does not take too long to go on an expedition.

When the third daughter heard this, her frustrated mood improved a lot.

Reika asked, "When are you leaving?" ”

"It's going to be a few days." Li Qing put the gun away and clapped his hands, "Let's go, take you out for a walk." ”

The girls are older, their legs and feet are not as good as before, and they travel by car.

Li Qing took the three daughters to visit the lively places in the capital, eating delicious food and having fun.

……

Five days later, the school field was ordered.

Zhu Di, who is in his sixties, is heroic and unabated, carrying a treasure knife at his waist and armor on his body, showing the style of the emperor.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the Dianjiangtai platform, impassionedly doing pre-war mobilization, and the school field was full of soldiers and armor, and his arrogance was monstrous.

'Knock knock knock ......' the drums sounded.

'Bang Chang Chang ......' followed with the sound of the knife coming out of its sheath.

The soldiers of the Ming army, holding spears and dancing swords, shouted the word 'kill' in a uniform manner, shocking the earth and rushing into the sky.

Yu Qian's heart was agitated, his blood was boiling, and he couldn't help but blend into it, pulling his neck and yelling: "The Ming army is mighty......!" ”

~

After seven years, the emperor once again drove the expedition in person, and the soldiers were all excited.

The crown prince Zhu Gaochi and his ministers saw off the army and sent them out of the capital.

Then, the ministers saluted and wished the emperor a victory...... After a simple courtesy, the army officially set off.

A day later, out of the Yongguan.

The sky is blue, the water and grass are green, and the field of vision is wide and boundless.

Yu Qian sat on horseback, making him very uncomfortable, as if he had fallen apart, but his interest was very high, he had never seen this kind of scenery before.

"Are you still used to it?"

Yu Qian turned his head and saw that it was Li Qing, arched his hand, and before he could speak, his body was crooked first.

"Be careful." Li Qing helped him with the barrel of his gun, turned the horse's head closer to him, "You don't know how to ride a horse?" ”

"I've ridden, but I'm average." Yu Qian said embarrassedly, "I've never ridden for so long." ”

Li Qing smiled, "It'll be evening in a while, take a good rest at night, this is just the beginning." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Yu Qian smiled bitterly and nodded, the scenery outside the gate is indeed good, but the march is indeed hard.

But many of the soldiers were on foot, and he could not complain about the bitterness of a horseback rider, so he had to grit his teeth and stiffen out.

When it was time to set up camp in the evening, Yu Qian's inner thighs were bald and purpered, and he trembled when he walked.

"Take two sips." Li Qing handed over the wine bag.

Yu Qian took it, poured a few big mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and sighed: "It's so happy!" ”

"Huh...... Save and drink slowly. Li Qing smiled, "There is still a long road behind, go to bed early after eating." ”

"Hmm." Yu Qian took another sip of wine and said curiously, "Li Shangshu, how many times have you gone on this expedition?" ”

He was indeed curious, Li Qing was in his sixties, and after marching on this day, he looked like he was fine, and he was much better than a young man like him.

Li Qing counted with his fingers, it didn't take Naier to surrender once, he fished in the sea once, he went out with Lan Yu once after the Jing disaster, and he went with Zhu Di twice in person, "Count this time, it's the sixth time." ”

"So many times?" Yu Qian was surprised, "No wonder ......"

"What's the wonder?"

Yu Qian sneered, "No wonder Shangshu you have been in the army for a day, and you don't look tired at all." ”

After a pause, he asked curiously: "Shangshu has gone on expeditions so many times, how did he become a civilian, not a general?" ”

"This ......"

"Is it because you are not good at war?" Yu Qian asked.
