Chapter 52

The place where the sixth finger of Shang Lao is located is a small bay not far from Tieshan. Of course, due to the limited conditions in this era, the map is certainly not as clear and intuitive as that of later generations.

But along with Shang Laoliu's fingers, Li Yuanqing has already vaguely understood his meaning, "brother Shang, do you mean - salt field?"

Shang Laoliu couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, you are really smart. you 're right. It's a salt field. In this world, what else is more profitable than private salt? I have inquired into the details. This salt field is the private business of a rich family surnamed Li in North Korea. It is said that this man is still a royal family. Although it's not the biggest saltern here, it's the best in business. "

Li Yuanqing nodded.

The reason why the salt industry is profiteering is nothing but monopoly. Otherwise, the sea is so big, how much salt will there be in it? What's more, North Korea, a country with three faces to the sea.

"Yuanqing, at the end of each month, is the day when people from Pyongyang settle accounts. At this time, the monthly income of their salt fields will be taken away. I have inquired into the details. There are 600 or 700 workers in this salt field, but less than 50 guards. As long as we plan properly, we will be safe and sound... "

According to Shang Laoliu's idea, he hoped that he could persist until the end of the month, and then work on the salt field, so as to obtain the most generous return.

Unfortunately, it is now mid September, and Li Yuanqing's food and forage can only last for less than 10 days.

Although Wang Hai has started fishing here, this large-scale operation is not suitable for Wang Hai, and all kinds of equipment of the team are also insufficient. If you want to see large-scale income, it will take at least ten days to make the soldiers familiar with the working process.

As a result, Li Yuanqing couldn't write any more ink.

"Big brother Shang, time waits for no one else. We can't wait any longer."

Li Yuanqing sighed for a long time, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "You sent for shunzi, Wang Hai, Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi to come to my account for discussion..."

……

At night, a small fleet of seven small boats quietly left the shore and headed to the East.

On the bow of the pilot ship, Li Yuanqing stood with his hands down, quietly watching the continuous coastline not far away.

It's a pity that Li Yuanqing has never seen even a small village on this coastline.

Although people don't know much about the ocean due to the factors of this era, there are so many excellent small bays that no one can make use of, so they are left idle here

Li Yuanqing sighed, North Korea is still barren. Whether it's population or land. Especially in the West.

If all hope is placed on these North Koreans

In the middle of the night, a big island appeared in front of the fleet. Guan Canghai explained to Li Yuanqing in a low voice: "my Lord, this island is called PiDao, and the people are also called Dongjiang island. There are not many families, mainly Korean people."

Li Yuanqing came out with only Shang Laoliu, shunzi, Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi, as well as Duan Xiliang, the general flag officer under Wang Hai, and more than 300 soldiers from these four teams.

The rest of the officers at the general level are all honest people who can keep up for the time being, but they are very difficult to be competent in pioneering work.

This is also a big problem that Li Yuanqing is facing now. There is no one available. The only way to do this is to hold on first, to test step by step through time, and to select better and more loyal officers to get stuck in these key positions.

At present, the level of military training can only be maintained for the time being. When Li Yuanqing left, he also gave orders to these officers to take people to the nearby mountains to hunt for self-sufficiency and feed the Chinese army.

At this time, hearing Guan Canghai say that this is pi Island, Li Yuanqing suddenly returns to his mind, "Canghai, how is the terrain on this island?"

PiDao, this is the core center of Dongjiang group in the future. To this island, Li Yuanqing also has a kind of inexplicable awe, or expectation.

Guan Canghai explained in a low voice, "my Lord, this island is not small. There are mountains on both sides of the island, and the middle is relatively flat. There are some cultivated land and plenty of fresh water resources. It's a good place. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, PiDao should be good, otherwise, Mao Wenlong would not choose here. Unfortunately, later generations, for many reasons, even if you want to visit, there is no chance.

Officer Canghai seems to understand the meaning of Li Yuanqing, whispered: "adults, if there is time to come back, we can go to the island to have a look."

Li Yuanqing smiles, but shakes his head, "forget it. Let's get down to business first. "

This is Mao Wenlong's place. Li Yuanqing doesn't want to covet it, which is also a respect for Mao Wenlong.

Guan Canghai nodded. Although he didn't know what task Li Yuanqing was taking him out this time, Li Yuanqing was able to take him with him, which also made him feel that adults took care of him and trusted him. This feeling is really good.

Li Yuanqing thought for a while and suddenly said, "Canghai, are you familiar with this sea area?"

It has been nearly two months since Guan Canghai came to Li Yuanqing's army, and he has been promoted to general manager for more than a month. This is the first time Li Yuanqing asked him this question. He was stunned.

Li Yuanqing said with a smile, "brother Canghai, I didn't inquire about your past meaning. It's just, I want to know about this area. "Guan Canghai also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning. During these days, he had already understood that his family was far away from others.

"What do you say, my lord. It's OK. However, I was in this area in the early years, and later I have been in the south. Now, I should be able to make it clear in general. If it is specific, I can't say it now. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, "it's late at night. Go and have a rest. Keep your spirits up. "

Guan Canghai was stunned and didn't ask, "yes, my Lord. I'll quit my humble job. "

At this time, the old six came over and whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, this person can use."

Li Yuanqing took a long sigh of relief and nodded slightly

At dawn, just before dawn, the fleet came to a relatively wide small bay. In the middle of the Bay, it was divided into two parts by a protruding Peninsula type land. Standing here, you can see that the nearby land is full of potholes, with traces of boiling salt and sun salt everywhere.

In the surrounding several commanding heights, there are also watchtowers, but it is very simple, the observation is reluctant, and the defensive is almost zero.

Shang Laoliu whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, this is it. I've come to explore the terrain here. Their building is in the middle, surrounded by walls, with only one door to the north. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, "call on officers to discuss matters."

For a moment, shunzi, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, and Duan Xiliang, the chief flag officer under Wang Hai, all came to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing's face was a little gloomy. "These days, our army has been short of food and grass. I think you have heard of it. You are all brothers and sisters of Li Yuanqing. Therefore, at the critical moment, I still rely on you. "

None of the people present was a fool. Shang Laoliu and shunzi were Li Yuanqing's irons. Guan Canghai and Xu Heizi were promoted by Li Yuanqing and Cao mang. They were all Li Yuanqing's lineages.

Although Duan Xiliang was only the general flag officer, he was like Li Yuanqing's student and apprentice. He had no problem with his loyalty to Li Yuanqing.

People see Li Yuanqing's voice and expression, coupled with the environment at this time, all have faintly guessed what is going to happen, and they are excited.

Duan Xiliang took the lead in expressing his attitude. He knelt down on one knee. "Adults are Xi Liang's parents. If you have orders, just watch Xiliang's actions."

Shang Laoliu, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi and shunzi also knelt down one after another.

Li Yuanqing gave a long sigh of relief, "very good. I don't talk nonsense. This is a salt field for the North Koreans. There are Fort walls outside. Shunzi. "

"A humble position."

"You take 50 people. Go around the flank and keep the north gate. Don't let one escape. "

"Yes."

"Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi, Duan Xiliang."

"A humble position."

"You three are the main attack today. Cangdai officers landed from the front. Xu Heizi and Duan Xiliang, you two land from both wings to cover the official Canghai department. "

"Yes."

Guan Canghai also did not expect, Li Yuanqing actually gave him the main task of attack, but also some unspeakable excitement.

"Shang Laoliu."

"A humble position."

"You bring 50 people for this reserve team. We should always respond to the situation of the three routes. "

"Yes."

For a moment, Shang Laoliu suddenly remembered, "my Lord, there will be no one around you."

Li Yuanqing gritted his teeth and laughed, "you are all my brothers of Li Yuanqing. My safety is in your hands. What are you worried about?"

"My lord..." Everyone was moved. Li Yuanqing trusted them so much. What kind of heart?

However, Li Yuanqing waved his hand to show them not to be wordy, and said in a sharp voice, "get ready for action immediately. Remember, I only have one request, don't leave any alive

"Yes."

For a moment, the officer quickly dispersed.

Shunzi took a small boat and went around to the left. He would go from shunzi on this side of the beach to the north gate and get stuck at the intersection.

By the way, Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi and Duan Xiliang began to row towards the front.

Shang Laoliu followed them.

Li Yuanqing's boat also went forward a little, in the middle, overlooking the overall situation.

Due to the restrictive force of this era, the command of a general to the army depends on the role of the officers. If the officers do not carry out their duties properly and there are deviations, it is very difficult to correct them, especially in this kind of beach landing.

But the matter has come to this point, Li Yuanqing also has no way.

Even if there are omissions in the plan, even if the soldiers have not seen the blood, they have to brave their heads and find out the reason from the battle.

Soon, as the ship approached, a cry of fear came from the watchtower of the opposite saltern.

Unfortunately, the word they said was not often seen in later Korean dramas, and Li Yuanqing could not hear it clearly. It was probably similar to "enemy attack".

Shang Laoliu had obtained accurate information in advance. There were only 50 soldiers in the salt field, and the remaining 5 or 600 were laborers.Although there are only 300 people on our side, they are all soldiers who have undergone regular training and are fully armed. Even if they are worried, Li Yuanqing can only choose to trust them.

At this time, with the shouting on the watchtower, the whole salt field quickly fell into chaos.

The landing of Guan Canghai, Xu Heizi and Duan Xiliang didn't encounter too many obstacles. They had already occupied the supporting point, and the soldiers continued to set foot on the land of the saltern.

But at this time, the North Korean defense strength has not yet assembled completely, has fallen into the thorough passivity.

Not far away, Li Yuanqing saw all this, a little relieved, the overall situation has been decided, next, we will see the results of the war.

……

The shrill cry of killing had been ringing through for nearly half an hour, and then it was completely quiet.

After a while, Guan Canghai and Shang Laoliu returned by boat. Guan Canghai was covered with blood and was full of murderous spirit. He quickly climbed onto Li Yuanqing's boat and knelt on one knee. "Your honor, your humble duty has not disgraced your life. All obstacles have been cleared, and all properties have been collected and are being counted. Please review it. "

Li Yuanqing smiles and reaches out to help Guan Canghai up. "Brother Canghai, it's hard. Come on, let's go and see what the kids have achieved. "
