Qin Li leaned on crutches and watched a team of cavalry running from the gate of the oil refinery, he limped to the ground. The person coming was Lei Dong, the governor of Yanji County.

"Thank you for your hard work in County Magistrate Lei?" Qin Li asked with concern: "Is everything going well?"

Lei Dong turned over and dismounted, looked at Qin Li and said, "I am not inconvenient, why should I force myself to come out? The doctor said, "You may be disabled."

Qin Li smiled: "It's no pity for me to be like this."

Looking at Qin Li's face that was neither human nor ghost, Lei Dong sighed. He not only admired the person in front of him, but also admired him. This is a true person who sacrificed his life for the country.

"If you go down the net, you will be a miscellaneous fish. Even the main force of Timuer didn't see a single hair." Lei Dong shook his head and said.

Qin Li nodded: "I think it's the same. Let's go, the room is warm. I have prepared the wine and food, so let's drink and drink."

"You're better off drinking less!" Lei Dong frowned.

Qin Li laughed loudly and walked inward with crutches, "I can't live for many years, I'm drunk today, and I can care about tomorrow. Let's have a few drinks together."

The room was filled with a warm and warm place. When they entered the door, they couldn't wear cotton clothes. The two of them changed their clothes and sat on the hot kang through a small table.

"The Ming Dynasty's burning knife is becoming more and more difficult to get." Looking at the extremely clear wine in the glass bottle, I opened the bottle cap and a smell of wine suddenly spread throughout the room.

"It's really hard to get it, but for us, it's not a big problem." Qin Li smiled and filled Lei Dong with a full smile. "The commander knew that I couldn't live without this now, so he sent someone to send me a gift. When it was really hard, he used it to get drunk. Drunk to relieve his worries."

"Your injury is really impossible to completely heal?" Lei Dong asked.

"Unless you go to Ming Kingdom, please Shu Chang come to treat me, or you still have some hope." Qin Li said with a smile.

Lei Dong immediately shut his mouth. They all knew very well that Qin Li’s reward price on the side of the Ming Dynasty Guoan was much higher than that of the ghost leader Cao Hui. It can be seen that the Ming people hated Qin Li.

He raised his neck and poured a glass of wine into his mouth, feeling the fiery red first from his throat to his lower abdomen, and then exploded and brought it to every corner of his body.

"The Wanyan tribe is over." Lei Dongdao: "There are 20,000 cavalrymen, and now there are only more than 5,000 cavalry left. To say that these more than 5,000 cavalry on the wasteland is a decisive force. The problem is that their energy and spirit are gone, their nests are gone, their families are gone, and they still have a lot of spears to each other."

"It's over and it's over, it's no pity. County Governor Lei, you have been stationed in Yanji for so many years. You have been fighting with the Wanyan tribe more than having a good time together. Why do you still sound a little pitiful to them?" Qin Li said with a smile.

"I'm not pitying them. I'm worried that the wasteland will fall into the hands of the Ming people. Timuer has obviously defected to the Ming people. Otherwise, where did they get the Ming people's weapons?" Lei Dong shook his head. "I'm considering gathering troops and going to Hetu to sweep Timuer, while his wings are not yet full."

Qin Li sipped the wine slowly without answering.

"This time we rescued the remaining troops of the Wanyan tribe and swept away many tribes, but we did not see the shadow of Timuer. This only means that Timuer's strength is far from enough to compete with us. In other words, the Ming people did not intervene for a long time. If the Ming people were given more time, it would be a big trouble in the future." Lei Dong continued.

"There is no need for this!" Qin Li took a chopstick to Lei Dong, then put down the chopsticks and looked at Lei Dongdao.

"No need?" Redon looked at the other party strangely: "Then let Mingren get bigger?"

"The Ming people just played a chess game. They will not invest too much power in the wasteland now. At most, they will only give some weapons." Qin Li said: "Mr. Lei, how are you going to fight against Timuer?"

"I am going to gather all the cavalry in Yanji, and then gather the cavalry of the Wanyan tribe. With the Wanyan tribe leading the way, it will be much more convenient for us to be on the wasteland."

"The 20,000 Wanyan tribe members did not defeat Timuer. County Governor Lei is so sure that he is still sure to take Timuer after a long journey?" Qin Li narrowed his eyes and asked.

Lei Dong smiled and said, "Don't compare our Daqi army with the female direct people."

"Strictly speaking, the county magistrate is not weaker than us on the wasteland. We are too far from Hetu, and Temuer returned to his nest. If it were him alone, I wouldn't worry too much, but the Ming people intervened, which made people have to engage in it carefully, taking huge risks but not much profit. So why did it come?"

"Temuer surrendered to Mingren. If he was allowed to become a big shot, it would be our threat in the future!" Lei Dong looked at Qin Li with some dissatisfaction and said, "I don't believe you can't see this."

"This is certainly unquestionable, but this cannot be completed in a short period of time." Qin Li smiled and said, "Mr. Lei, how do you say that our Daqi has been stationed in Yanji and has a heavy army?"

"Of course it's to prevent women from knocking on the door."

"Yes!" Qin Li smiled and spread his hands: "Now, do you think the female direct person still has this ability to threaten the inner palace?"

Lei Dong was stunned and shook his head slowly: "Now they certainly don't have this ability. Timuer retreated back to Hetu. The distance from the inner gate is too far. The Wanyan tribe is familiar with it, but now they have to rely entirely on us to survive. They have lost the ability of the powerful choke circles."

"That's it. Since they are powerless to pose a threat to our Daqi, why should we provoke these discomforts? Let them go in a mess. We only have to do our own things well. County magistrate, you know, what is the most important thing now." Qin Li said slowly.

"Anti-ming?"

Qin Li nodded: "Fight against the Ming Dynasty. The tens of thousands of soldiers under your command have been in Yanji and have never stopped fighting. They are one of the few elite troops in my Great Qi. You may be prepared at any time and lead your troops back to fight with the Ming Kingdom."

Lei Dong was silent for a while, "The situation is so serious. Do we need to transfer our troops to the Central Plains to fight?"

Qin Li slowly drank wine, his eyes full of sorrow, "I returned from the Ming Dynasty and had a more intuitive feeling about the situation in the Ming Dynasty. I have to say that the Ming Dynasty has left us far behind. Now the Ming army has threatened our Daqi, among which the Laizhou route is the most deadly. Once Laizhou is lost, the Ming navy can go straight along the Red River and split our Daqi territory in half."

"I saw the military newspaper, and Xu Junsheng did a pretty good job."

"That's because the Ming people have not launched a large-scale attack." Qin Li said: "After the spring of next year, the large-scale attack of the Ming people will inevitably begin. Our Daqi economy is on the verge of collapse. In this winter, the reason why the Ming people did not start a war is to consume our strength. By the next spring, it is the time for our spring plowing. The purpose of the Ming people's large-scale attack is to destroy this. Once the war begins in full, we need to mobilize countless civilians. Please think about it, such as

If we want to supply an army of 100,000 people, at least 300,000 to 500,000 civilians will be required to provide logistics supply, but the Ming people did not have this problem. They spread across the country's railways and highway networks, so they only need to mobilize a small amount of manpower to complete the supply of the army. People mislead the land for spring, and the land for a year. We did not have time to plow in spring, and naturally there would be no harvest after autumn. At that time, Daqi will inevitably be hungry and the potential for war will further decline."

"Is there any possibility of winning between Luzhou and Changning?" Lei Dong asked.

Qin Li did not directly answer Lei Dong, but asked: "Mr., the last time you went to Chang'an, did you see artillery firing?"

"I've seen it, but it turns out that the cannon is even more powerful?" Lei Dong nodded, "The cannon sounded, and its power was indeed amazing."

"You have never seen the spectacular scene of dozens or hundreds of cannons firing at the same time!" Qin Li narrowed his eyes, "But I have seen it. Within the range of cannons, it is not something that humans can stop. In front of them, even the strong city walls have become decorations. Have you seen the Ming Type 1 rifle I gave you, right?"

Redon nodded.

"One doesn't seem to be very powerful. But when hundreds of such guns are fired at the same time, he is extremely terrifying." Qin Li's voice faintly brought a hint of crying, "I don't know what magic power the Ming people have. They made a crossbow machine and a thunderbolt fire. We finally learned it and thought that we would never suffer any losses on the battlefield. But they made artillery, a type 1 of the Ming Dynasty, or some other weapons we don't know. Is God no longer favoring Daqi, but wanting to return to the destiny?"

"I haven't beaten it yet, it's unknown who will win to death!" Lei Dong stretched out his hand and patted Qin Li's shoulder gently.

Wiping away the tears at the corners of his eyes, Qin Li looked at Lei Dong with red eyes and said, "I laughed. Given the current situation in the wasteland, it is actually unnecessary to station a large army in Yanji. I have already sent a letter to Your Majesty, suggesting that the court transfer the main force of your troops into the Central Plains to fight, especially the Red River Basin, that nothing can happen."

"If I take the main force away, aren't you worried that Temuer on the wasteland will come to cause trouble for you?" Lei Dong asked.

"What are you afraid of? Leaving a few thousand infantry is enough. Besides, don't we have the Wanyan tribe, a good dog?" Qin Li said: "They can only survive by relying on us now, and I will naturally use this to the extreme. A chaotic wasteland is actually quite good for our Daqi. At least we can draw out a large amount of troops. What I want to guard is just this refinery. As long as we can ensure that the energy source here continues to produce strong tinder oil, what if I do so much else, I will take it away. So what if we take it? As long as we win on the battlefield of the Central Plains, everything will be ours. If we lose, what's the use of owning the wasteland? Come, drink, drink. If the court agrees with my suggestion, you have to travel far away. Maybe this is the last time we drink together."—
