Chapter 93

Mao Wenlong has instructions, Li Yuanqing dare not neglect, hasten to accept the letter, carefully browsing, eyes slightly narrowed.

At this time, it is about to leave the first month. It has been more than a month since Mao Wenlong landed on PiDao, and Mao Wenlong has basically taken root in PiDao.

Li Yuanqing never doubted Mao Wenlong's ability.

In history, after his defeat in Longchuan, Mao Wenlong stayed in North Korea for a period of time. He was really hopeless to see the counter offensive in Zhenjiang. He landed on PiDao island and started a new business without any choice.

At this time, although Mao Wenlong had experienced the disastrous defeat of Longchuan, most of his foundation industry was still there, especially the population, which should be much larger than in history. Therefore, it is natural that Mao Wenlong quickly established his foothold.

In the letter, Mao Wenlong first asked Li Yuanqing to introduce the current situation of some PiDao islands. All the work has basically stabilized, but the various materials are still in short supply. He has written to the court several times. I believe that before long, there should be materials allocated from the court.

Li Yuanqing could not deny this.

If the guanning army is the legitimate son of the imperial court, the Guangning army is the common son. As for Mao Wenlong in the Liao sea, it can only be regarded as a dry son.

However, if the court has such an attitude, it is always better to have something than nothing.

After all, the imperial court exists in the sense of justice. The court has an account, and the grass-roots officers like Li Yuanqing also have an account of their soldiers.

Second, Mao Wenlong predicted that after the spring, the later Jin Dynasty might launch a new round of offensive against western Liaoning. At that time, the main force of the latter Jin Dynasty would certainly move to the western Liaoning line, Zhenjiang area, and the troops would certainly be empty. Mao Wenlong was ready to wait for an opportunity to attack Zhenjiang. At the same time, he hoped that Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang panbu in the western line could also take action to counter attack southern Liaoning and implicate Houjin 。

Familiar with history, Li Yuanqing naturally knows that Mao Wenlong's prediction like a fortune teller is absolutely accurate and wise.

However, after all, Li Yuanqing has not completely settled down. It seems that there are 1200 soldiers, but less than 200 people can really use them. Even if they want to make moves, it is difficult to make big moves.

The third part is Mao Wenlong's encouragement. He encouraged the southern parts of Liaoning in the western line to make more contributions. Only with his achievements in the war, could Mao Wenlong be able to make contributions to the imperial court for them.

After closing the letter, Li Yuanqing took a long breath.

There is no problem with Mao Wenlong's strategic direction, but how can Li Yuanqing get the most favorable situation in this spring offensive?

Just thinking about it, Chen Zhong's family came over and called Li Yuanqing to discuss matters in Chen Zhong's room.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help laughing, and Chen Zhong must have got the same letter.

Coming to the camp of Chen Zhong next door, Li Yuanqing's mood was also relaxed.

Although they did not stay in Guanglu island for a long time, there was a certain mass base here. Li Yuanqing did not move to Changsheng island because of his large-scale expansion and complicated affairs. In addition, he did not move to Changsheng island to govern the land, so his children did not have time to form a complete combat force.

But Chen Zhong's side is much better than Li Yuanqing. He has no worries about controlling Dingkou. All his energy is focused on training. At this time, the nearly 1000 soldiers under his command are already quite large-scale and have certain combat power, which only needs to be tested by war.

If it's just himself, Li Yuanqing can't do anything, but with Chen Zhong, it's different.

When he came to Chen Zhong's room, Chen Zhong had been waiting for a long time and said with a smile, "Yuanqing, did you receive the general's instruction?"

Mao Wenlong had been promoted to the rank of deputy general of Guangning army at that time, which could be called "maojunmen". However, Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing were both subordinates of Mao Wenlong, so they still called him "general".

Li Yuanqing nodded, "big brother, what are your plans?"

Chen Zhongpo was a little high spirited, "Yuanqing, our army has been resting here for nearly two months, and all the affairs have basically been on the normal track. Now, together, we have more than 2000 soldiers. There is a lot to be done. "

Li Yuanqing immediately understood that Chen Zhong wanted to make a big move. He couldn't help but smile and said, "brother, I'm afraid there are only 200 soldiers I can use for 1200 soldiers. The number of troops is still up to you. "

Chen Zhong also knew that Li Yuanqing had a lot of things during this period of time. He didn't put his mind on military training. He couldn't help laughing. "Yuanqing, it's OK. The so-called soldiers are not more but better. You and I are all elite. This time, we are going to do everything we say. We have to fight for food, women, weapons, armor and tartar heads. "

Looking at Chen Zhong's twinkling eyes, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "big brother has a goal?"

Chen Zhong said with a smile, "the target. It is true that there are one or two of them. However, we still need to carefully discuss how to operate it. "

Chen Zhong said, pointing his big hand to a place on the map.

Li Yuanqing's eyes narrowed slightly, "big brother, do you want to cooperate with Lvshun's Zhang pan?"

Chen Zhong nodded, "Yuanqing, zhangpan is developing well in Lushun. The number of troops should be more than 1000. We can add up to more than 3000, which can be called 5000. Even if these forces can't reach the city of Fuzhou, it should not be a big problem for them to penetrate into the hinterland of southern Liaoning. Yuanqing, this will be our brother's chance to be famous in the world. "Chen Zhong finally said that he could not control his emotional excitement and held Li Yuanqing's hand heavily.

Li Yuanqing slowly vomited out a mouthful of turbid gas, but also some heart.

Frankly speaking, as long as the main force of the later Jin Dynasty left, the forces of Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong and zhangpan were enough to do something.

However, the post Jin army has occupied the southern Liaoning, with a large population and cities. Over such a long period of time, their facilities have been improved, and they have accumulated a certain amount of control over the rule. Moreover, they have many horses. Once they get the news, the counter attack will be extremely vicious.

Although Li Yuanqing's three departments seem to have a large number of troops, in fact, they are short of clothing and armour. Although their training is quite good, their real combat effectiveness is still unknown.

The most important thing is that at this time, the only advantage of Li Yuanqing's three Ming armies was the sea. They had boats, but the Jin army did not.

But once the war is limited to land, there will be no change.

"I agree. But it's just the beginning. It's not the first month yet, and the general hasn't started to move. Let's not rush at this moment. We can send someone to contact Zhang pan first. We'll make more preparations. Once the time is right, it's time for us to start. "

Chen Zhong nodded, "Yuanqing, that's what I mean. You side, also want to step up practice, Zhang pan there I go to contact. As long as the old slave dares to fight Liaoxi, we'll give him a hard fight behind his butt. "

……

Back at his own camp, Shang Laoliu came to meet him quickly. He was beaming with joy. "Yuanqing, there is good news."

Li Yuanqing also pondered that during Mao Wenlong's spring offensive, he did not get a moment's attention. "Brother Shang, what's the good news?"

Shang Laoliu's smile on his face couldn't cover it up. "Let's go to the dock, and we should be there soon."

Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu came to the wharf and saw that several ships had just docked. Guan Canghai ran quickly towards Li Yuanqing. When he saw Li Yuanqing, he quickly knelt down on one knee and made a solid ceremony, "see your Lord in Canghai."

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already slowed down a lot. He patted Guan Canghai on the shoulder with a smile and helped him up. "Canghai, these days, it's hard for you."

Guan Canghai smiles and whispers a few words to Li Yuanqing's ear.

Li Yuanqing's spirit suddenly rose, "let's go and have a look."

At this time, the ship's cabin door has been opened, more than a dozen soldiers are guarding on both sides, dozens of strong pirates are carefully packing bags of large objects wrapped in oil paper, struggling to move out.

Guan Canghai said in a low voice: "my Lord, it's less than 2000 Jin in total, all of them are high-quality pig iron. I accidentally intercepted it from the officer Zhang. It happened that the ship was in a storm. He should not have guessed that it was me

Li Yuanqing was overjoyed. Although there was no shortage of food and food in Guanglu island at this time, there was a big gap in the demand for weapons and armor. Guan Canghai's pig iron was definitely a timely help.

Soon, the pig iron was moved to the wharf, and then to the camp. Li Yuanqing ordered the dining hall to make some good dishes to reward Guan Canghai and his party.

After lunch, Guan Canghai reported to Li Yuanqing about his situation in Heidao.

Guan Canghai himself was born as a pirate. The Pirates of black island have been cut off, and there are 50 soldiers directly under Li Yuanqing's command. Soon, he will completely control the black island.

During this period, black island's tentacles have begun to extend to the coasts of Denglai and Denglai prefectures. There have been some negotiations with many salt fields. The cooperation with Zhang Daguan and Dengzhou Liujia has continued.

Zhang officials will provide 6000 taels of silver a year to Heidao, and 5000 taels to the Lius.

But after all, there are more than a thousand people on the black island, all of them are great men, and the supplies are not enough. For the time being, Guan Canghai can not give money to feed the headquarters.

Li Yuanqing understood this and said with a smile, "Canghai, we should not worry about this matter. Your first task now is to take root in the black island as the support point behind our army. As for the original livelihood, it can still be the same. However, after all, we are the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. We should be more kind to the common people, and to the gentry, we should take a long time to catch big fish. "

Guan Canghai nodded, "my Lord, pirates are full of talents. Some people are good candidates for soldiers, but there are still a lot of them. They are all miscellaneous. I think that in the next step, we should get rid of these odds and ends, so as to relieve some financial pressure

Li Yuanqing frowned after hearing the speech, but he shook his head, "Canghai, this matter can't be anxious. Take care of these people first. Try to keep things under control. Otherwise, if these people don't die, they will become trouble. "

Li Canghai understood the meaning of the official for a moment.

If you want to do something like this, you have to do it absolutely.

However, these pirates are miscellaneous, although there are evil things, but the crime is not fatal, adults want to give them some opportunities.

"My Lord, when I came here, I found that there were many islands near the Liaohai sea, which could be used as garrison sites, such as Daqin Island, Chenghuang island in the north and south, and many other small islands nearby. The location was good, and there was fresh water, which could be used as our army's stronghold."Li Yuanqing nodded and his eyes narrowed slightly.

These islands mentioned by Guan Canghai are all good. They are the throat of the Bohai Bay exit. In later generations, they are all military important places. From the sea direction, they guard the safety of the capital.

However, at this time, there were local residents living on Daqin island and Chenghuang island in the north and south. Under such a large environment, they were still ruled by the imperial court. Geographically, they were closer to Denglai. They were not easy to take them in the name of Mao Wenlong.

The key is that Li Yuanqing is not qualified enough to raise conditions with the imperial court.

"Canghai, it's not urgent. The general has just written to me, and our army has a target for the next step. Now you have a lot of ships and people. You should also participate in it... "
