Chapter 339

In the early morning, a wisp of soft and subtle sunlight sprinkled into the eyes, Li Yuanqing instinctively opened his eyes.

Around, Liu Qiao and Shu Murong, like two kittens, curled up close to him, looking for warmth.

Li Yuanqing's mouth showed a soft smile, slowly rose, afraid to disturb the two women still sleeping.

It's too cold here.

Especially in the evening, even if there is a camp or a campfire, it makes people feel like sleeping in a deep ice hole without seeing the sun. This psychological and subconscious cold thinking is simply more terrible than this extremely cold weather.

However, Li Yuanqing's mental intelligence is far beyond that of ordinary people. He has simply moved his hands and feet to speed up the circulation of blood in his body. He has felt much better.

Next to it, most of the firewood in the brazier has been burned off, and occasionally there is a slight sound, and there is a subtle light flashing back and forth.

Li Yuanqing estimated that the temperature inside the tent was about 5 or 6 degrees, while outside the tent, it was at least 20 degrees below zero.

Even though Li Yuanqing is well prepared, he and his children still need to do a lot to survive this long and cold winter in northern China.

Li Yuanqing just wanted to go out to inspect the camp, but he saw that Shu Murong forced himself to Liu Qiao's side, and most of his deer skin quilt slipped off.

Li Yuanqing a smile, gently walked over, carefully helped her cover the quilt, and helped Liu Qiao cover the quilt.

In such an environment, it is unrealistic to use ordinary household quilts to keep warm as in the hometown of Changsheng island.

One is that the quilt is not very convenient to carry; the other is that the quilt is easy to be frozen. Once frozen, there is no way to bake it with fire. People can't sleep with frozen ice quilts.

Fortunately, more than a dozen Tunpu were successively laid down. In terms of materials, Li Yuanqing and Changsheng camp had sufficient reserves.

At this time, the best substitute is all kinds of animal skins.

Whether it is deer skin, boar skin, wolf skin, tiger skin, or even dog skin, the effect is not less than quilt.

As long as the frozen skin is slightly baked, it can be directly used as a quilt.

Among them, the softest deer skin is the best.

At this time, even if Li Yuanqing's action has been very gentle, but perhaps lost the most familiar warm embrace, Liu Qiao still woke up, and opened his big eyes at dusk.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had already got up, she was busy struggling to get up and said, "my Lord, your servant is here to serve you."

Li Yuanqing smiles, "today is the first day of the new year. You can sleep more. I'll ask them to make you something good. "

Liu Qiao pretty face a red, but in the heart is like eating honey general sweet, but still struggling to get up, "Ye, maid serve you to dress."

With that, she came to Li Yuanqing in front of her and helped him to tidy up his clothes.

Li Yuanqing took her slender waist and said with a smile, "qiao'er, these days, it's hard for you."

Liu Qiaoyi Leng, but some red eyes, busy way: "can serve ye, is a servant several life to repair the blessing."

Li Yuanqing gently patted her on the shoulder, "OK. You'll have a little more sleep. I went to inspect the camp. We'll have dinner together later

"Well." Liu Qiao nodded his head cleverly and looked forward to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing a smile, just want to leave, Shu Murong was also woken up, she also some in the clouds did not understand, instinctively coquettish way: "master, maid to serve you."

Li Yuanqing looked at Liu Qiao and said with a smile, "you two rest here. My Lord is gone."

Shu Murong came back to her senses.

She got up late again, but also a little annoyed with herself, and was taken the lead by Liu Qiao. How could she be so sleepy?

But think of last night

Shu Murong's face turned red. After many days of hard work, she finally got what she wanted most, and it was twice, but I didn't know

Shu Murong touched her soft and flat abdomen secretly, and her heart was filled with expectation. She was in a good mood. She said to Liu Qiao with a smile: "sister qiao'er, your maid will give you hot water to wash your face."

Said, happily ran out of the account.

Liu Qiaoxiu eyebrow micro Cu, this fox flatter son, today how feeling some different?

……

In the camp, Li Yuanqing has already inspected half a circle and arrived at the head of the city.

At this time, although the sky is still clear and the sun is showing its head, the wind is much stronger than yesterday. The deep and thick clouds in the north, almost visible to the naked eye, are slowly and rapidly gathering towards the top of the head.

After many days of experience here, Li Yuanqing has found some rules. I'm afraid the beautiful but annoying snow will come again.

Today is the first day of the lunar new year. The firemen's breakfast is very rich. Li Yuanqing also gives Xu Heizi an order. After breakfast, every soldier distributes half a liang of gold. It's also a new weather in the new year.As for shuluohuan, each of them has two pieces of broken gold, so that these slaves can have a good new year.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had about seven or eight thousand taels of gold in his hand, half of which were gold bars and the other half were pieces of gold. As for silver, Li Yuanqing did not carry it with him. Instead, he buried all of them in the captured Tunpu. One day, the fleet would come back and pick it up.

Xu Heizi is the chief officer of the 3000 corps and Li Yuanqing's confidant, but he does not undertake too many actual combat tasks. To some extent, he is more like Li Yuanqing's marching Butler, just like the position of Shang Laoliu in Changsheng island.

With the development of Changsheng camp, Li Yuanqing also found that the military system of the Ming army was imperfect in many aspects.

Especially for the camp, to a large extent, the reform is urgent.

However, Li Yuanqing was still a general of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court was still on top of his head.

Although Wei Liang, the supervisor of the army, did not come along with him in this difficult journey, Li Yuanqing's autonomy still had to be affected.

However, as the saying goes, "there are policies at the top and Countermeasures at the bottom.".

For Li Yuanqing, it is not a big problem to change the name and specify the specific functions of the officers. It just needs some time and energy.

"General."

At this time, Kong Youde and shunzi quickly came to Li Yuanqing. They were the officers on duty last night.

Li Yuanqing nodded to the two people, "did you have any action after last night?"

Kong Youde said in a hurry: "back general, the Tartars don't have much action. They have a precarious foothold. The wind was strong last night, so they must have suffered a lot. "

Shunzi said: "general, I told brother Kong that there might be a storm today. We don't have to worry too much about Tartars, but we have to guard against this storm. We have asked the servants of shuluohuan carefully just now. They estimate that the storm will last for more than ten days. "

Li Yuanqing nodded and frowned.

later, although Tucao often did not make complaints about the weather accurately, Li Yuanqing missed that thing.

At least, they can form an accurate judgment in the macro situation.

But at this time, everything depends on experience.

Li Yuanqing overlooks the Houjin camp about two and a half miles away.

At this time, the visibility is very good, from a distance, everywhere is a vast expanse of white, Houjin camp in various colors of flags fluttering in the wind.

They also learn from the appearance of long-term camp, use the snow wall to pile up fortifications, and put the camp behind the snow wall, stretching for several miles.

Except for a few watchtowers, people can be seen in other places.

It can be seen that they should also have a premonition of the arrival of the storm and would not dare to attack rashly.

"You should keep a good eye on this side, especially the children's food and keep warm. You must not be slighted." Li Yuanqing's cold voice to the two humanitarians.

"Yes." They saluted in a hurry.

Li Yuanqing nodded and left the city quickly.

The storm was coming, and he had to check the supply of firewood.

……

The situation is urgent, agreed to Liu Qiao's breakfast is also too late to eat, Li Yuanqing with Niu Gensheng and dozens of relatives, rushed to the north gate of the town.

Xu Heizi had already been guarding here. He was commanding nearly a thousand tartar slaves to carry firewood to the city. When he saw Li Yuanqing coming, he hastened to salute: "general."

Li Yuanqing nodded and looked dignified, "how is the situation?"

Xu Heizi said: "general, these days, our people have been cutting firewood here, the current state is OK, firewood reserves can last about half a month. But the trees outside the north gate are about to be cut down. If there is a storm, we can only go further away and cut them down. "

Li Yuanqing nodded, "wait for the red envelopes. Let Huang Guoshan and Li Sansheng also come to cut firewood, and try to store more firewood before the storm comes!"

"Yes

Soon after Li Yuanqing's military order was issued, Huang Guoshan and Li Sansheng came to the north gate to collect firewood.

In addition to big trees, there are a lot of rotten wood under the old trees. In addition, most of the trees here are coniferous forests. The wood is very oily. Even if it is moist, Li Yuanqing does not lack a fire source. It can also be used.

With the participation of more than 1000 children from Huang Guoshan and Li Sansheng, the efficiency here has accelerated a lot.

But just at noon, the sky suddenly changed color, and the cold north wind almost exceeded the level of 89. It almost blew people down, mixed with dense snow flakes, and almost swallowed up the whole world.

Wind and snow.

This is what ordinary people often say.

But here, the snow flakes are almost bigger than the soybean particles, cold and hard, almost more terrible than the white fur wind.

Li Yuanqing quickly ordered all hands to withdraw, closed the city gate, and all returned to the camp for rest.Gathering in crowds and groups of people, they could not resist openly the tough authority of the heavenly dog.

Li Yuanqing went against the wind and snow to inspect the horses, mules, horses and straw piles nearby. Seeing that there was no big problem, he returned to his camp to rest.

In such a state, even with the help of an ice pit stove, the fire will not burn.

Whether cooking or boiling water, they can only be evacuated to the camp.

For the time being, Xu and Hei Yuan Ming are well prepared for everything.

However, Li Yuanqing and the children of Changsheng camp have been camping here for several days, and all the materials are well prepared. However, in the Houjin camp opposite, they have only one day to set up camp. Moreover, Du Du has a fight with Li Yuanqing, and their preparation is far from enough.
