Chapter 3: The Expectations of All
This year, Li Qing had a very happy life.
He hadn't been so happy for a long time, and this kind of spiritual ease and pleasure was so fascinating that it really felt like he couldn't miss it.
But after all, it's just a matter of thinking, and there's still a lot of work for him to do.
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Qing had to go back.
The little guy was very reluctant, and said, "Godfather, can you take me to Jingshi this time?" β
"Next time." Li Qing was ashamed, touched his little head, and said, "When my godfather is done, I will pick you up and go to Beijing to play." β
"Okay." Xiao Li Hong nodded sullenly, unhappy.
Li Qing was also a little helpless, squatted down and coaxed his godson for a while, got up and said goodbye to Zhu Qizhen and his wife, Zhu Yunwen one by one, and finally looked at the little old man.
"Master, I'm leaving."
"Go ahead." The little old man is always so open-minded, "Hurry up or not late, hurry up and get on the road." β
ββ¦β¦ Ay. Li Qing turned over on his horse, turned his head and waved at everyone, and raised his horsewhip.

Capital.
When Li Qing returned home, it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
In the case of a person, he was very lazy, even too lazy to eat, and lay at home for a day.
Anyway, if you don't eat, you won't starve to death, Li Qing lies down from morning to evening, and the main thing is to save trouble.
In the evening, Yu Qian came with a donkey.
I also sent a boiled Lantern Festival.
Li Qing was also not polite, he sighed and snorted, and he didn't even waste the soup.
Yu Qian was amused and distressed, "Sir, why don't you go to my house to live." βΞΠΈΠͺ.ΕΞοΌ§
"No, I'm fine here." Li Qing patted her belly and leaned back comfortably in the chair, "What happened during my absence?" β
"It didn't happen." Yu Qian said, "They want me to be in charge of the military and have the power to lead the troops, but the emperor did not agree, and now the military power is ...... To be precise, it was Jingying, which was mainly controlled by Yang Hong and Shi Heng, and I did not get involved in it. β
After a pause, "By the way, the war over there in Luchuan is over." β
"Oh? How is the battle going? Li Qing is very interested in this.
Yu Qian said with a smile: "The Ming army was completely victorious, and the rebellion was strongly suppressed, according to Wang Ji, at least for a hundred years, there will be no more trouble over there." β
Sure enough, as long as Zhu Qizhen does not personally conquer, the Ming army is still invincible...... Li Qing nodded with a smile and said happily:
"Although this battle took a long time and cost a lot of money, it was still worth it, and it will be much smoother for both the court and the people to go to the West in the future."
Yu Qian nodded, and then said: "But as soon as Wang Ji comes back, there is a problem involved. β
"Jingying?"
"Not bad." Yu Qian nodded: "In today's Beijing camp, many of them are transferred back from the local government, and they are the Gongwei Jingshi, and the border town guards are somewhat empty;
It stands to reason that after the battle is over, they should be allowed to go back, but ......"
"The emperor doesn't want them to go back, does he?" Li Qingdao.
"Yes." Yu Qian said, "These people are all heroes who defended Beijing, they repelled the Tatars, and they were also rewarded, and they believed in and supported the emperor; But Wang Ji's army... The soldiers all served for the Emperor, including Wang Ji;
His exploits and titles are all given by the emperor, as well as many of them. Yu Qian said, "The battle of Luchuan is the proposition of the Emperor Taishang, which involves ......."
"Well, needless to say, I understand all of this." Li Qing asked directly, "What do you mean by saying that the emperor?" β
Yu Qian said: "What the emperor means is to change the three major battalions into ten regimental battalions, and reorganize the Beijing battalion according to the original establishment of the nine gates of the Gongwei Beijing Division, so as to prevent Wang Ji's family from becoming dominant." β
"It's a stupid trick, driving backwards." Li Qing shook his head.
"Reversing?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood the deep meaning of his words, and said: "It's not so exaggerated, the Beijing camp is the Gongwei Beijing Division, and the ten regiments and battalions can better defend the Jingshi!" β
Li Qing smiled bitterly: "Do you remember the six-character mantra I once told you?" β
"Remember," Yu Qian said slowly, "do subtraction, use heavy codes." β
"Hmm." Li Qing nodded: "Let's put it this way, the simpler everything is, the better, especially in major matters, let alone military affairs?"
The three battalions have a clear division of labor, and they are also very well coordinated with each other, and it is true that this style of play is very simple, and it has even been thoroughly understood by the enemy, but it has been proved that simplicity is not necessarily bad. β
Li Qingdao: "In the past, Taizong personally conquered, and in the first battle of Hulan and Sulan, the tactics of the three major battalions had already been determined;
Artillery bombardment, cavalry charge, first the enemy is afraid, disrupted, and then the final harvest;
It's simple, even rudimentary, but it's super effective. Li Qingdao said, "So far, the forces on the Mobei grassland have still been overcome by this trick.
Not only the Yuan people, before the Emperor Taishang personally conquered, the three major battalions were defeated by virtue of this move? β
Yu Qian was speechless.
Li Qingdao said: "The three battalions are the cornerstone of the Ming Dynasty, and they must not be changed. β
"The transformation of the three battalions into the ten regiments and battalions not only increases the difficulty of the soldiers to fight together, but also increases the difficulty of the commander's overall command." Li Qing's tone was resolute, "The Tenth Regiment Battalion must not be changed. β
Yu Qian smacked his lips and said with a wry smile: "The emperor is also very resolute!" β
"I'll tell you this." Li Qingdao said, "In addition to this, are there any other major events happening?" β
"There's nothing else, it's nothing more than a matter of welcoming back the Emperor." Yu Qian groaned, "However, the emperor has already ordered people to clean up the South Palace, and those people are a lot more honest." β
Li Qing said with a smile: "Compared with the Emperor Taishang, the emperor is already gentle enough, and they are also weighing the pros and cons. β
Yu Qian was somewhat accustomed to Li Qing's open-mouthedness, and he didn't correct Li Qing anymore, but persuaded:
"Sir, welcoming back the Emperor is a certainty, even if you oppose it, it will be useless, after all, even the emperor agrees, you still ...... Don't be tough. β
This is really an offending thing, Yu Qian doesn't want Li Qing to stand on the opposite side of everyone.
"I know what I know." Li Qing was noncommittal.
Seeing that he didn't refute, Yu Qian relaxed slightly: "Nothing else, today is the last day of the New Year, and once the Lantern Festival is over, the calm situation will definitely stir up again, Mr. must be mentally prepared." β
"There's nothing to worry about, the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth." Li Qing said with a smile, "When I first returned to the DPRK this time, the situation was so complicated, and it was not the same? β
Yu Qian nodded and joked, "Continue to sew and mend?" β
"You can only sew and mend it!" Li Qing sighed leisurely, "However, every time I sew up, there will be irreversible losses." β
"yes......"
The two chatted for a while, and when twilight came, Yu Qian said goodbye and left.
Li Qing sat alone in the small courtyard, thinking about the situation he was about to face.
The core is still in Zhuqi Town!
Zhu Qizhen is not in the grassland, which is a big problem.
To welcome back to Zhuqi Town, you must go to the steppe, and the Tatars ...... In their cognition, Zhu Qizhen is dead.
The imperial court sent people to welcome it, which would only make the Tartars think that the Ming Dynasty was declaring war, and it was estimated that it would be a problem for the envoys to welcome them back.
If the envoy can't return, the Ming Dynasty will think that the other party is challenging the authority of the imperial court, and then send a large army to the north.
Under the high pressure of the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars are bound to seek peace with Warat, and Warat will not know the truth of the cold lips and teeth, and it is almost inevitable for the two sides to join forces.
Warat knew that the Ming army supported him in order to allow him to fight against the Tatars, and if the Tatars were gone, there was a chance that they would be stabbed at them.
In fact, even if the Tatars are gone, it will not be easy for the Ming to completely rule the steppe.
Without him, the grassland is too big!
What the fuck is this...... Li Qing couldn't help but feel a pain in his head.
It's hard!
β¦
Next.
Li Qing went to court.
Sure enough, the ministers began to talk about the usual topics again, and one by one they arched their heads to the ground, arching to the top of the throne.
Under the guise that Yu Qian is a hero, the core revolves around civilian officials leading troops, and the horns are non-stop.
What's even more enjoyable is that Shi Heng and Yang Hong are all supporting, and they also hope that Yu Qian will take charge of the military.
In fact, they are not wrong, not everyone is like Li Qing, who has a long life and focuses on the long-term development of the Ming Dynasty.
At least in the current situation, Yu Qian can quickly calm down the situation when he is in power, and they are also the beneficiary party, both public and private, they all hope that Yu Qian will take the position.
Yu Qian was elevated, and he shirked, but in this era, prevarication is often modest and polite, not vetoed.
And Zhu Qiyu, he also wants Yu Qian to take power, he will elevate Yu Qian infinitely, and Yu Qian will help him prevent the restoration of the emperor.
The reason is very simple, the higher Yu Qian's powerful status, the more miserable he will be after the restoration of Emperor Taishang.
It can be said that Yu Qian's power is expected by everyone, except for the only person.
- Li Qing.
