After eating a few bites of the food, everyone joked and laughed a little more, and the atmosphere became more and more lively.
At this time, a rather handsome man stood up, picked up the wine glass, smiled respectfully at Li Yuanqing and said: "Li Shuai, I humble Wang Shiqin, I'd like to give you a bowl."
Wang Shiqin and You Shilu were both under Ma Shilong's command. Previously, they were stationed in the middle, left and right guards respectively. They worked hard and made great achievements. Sun Chengzong did not hesitate to promote them.
Ma Shilong was promoted to Shanhaiguan Commander-in-Chief, and You Shilu and Wang Shiqin were also promoted to Staff General.
Compared with Dongjiang, the Guan Ning relationship started later. To a certain extent, in the first half of the Tianqi Year, they did not directly participate in major wars. Therefore, the military ranks of the Guan Ning generals were higher than those on the Dongjiang side.
Much lower.
But in Dongjiang, Mao Wenlong led the army, while in Liaoxi, civil servants and imperial master Sun Chengzong led the army.
The Ming Dynasty relied on literature to control military affairs.
To a certain extent, although Dongjiang has innate advantages, it is restricted by various reasons. Now, it has begun to be overtaken and suppressed by Guan Ning's generals.
At this time, in Dongjiang, apart from Mao Wenlong, the person with the highest official rank was Chen Jisheng, who was ranked as the deputy general of Youxie.
But in fact, Chen Jisheng was temporarily in charge of the Youxie as a staff general at the time, and was later replaced as deputy general after the Kuandian war went smoothly.
As for others, including Shen Shikui, he was reluctantly promoted to general because he was in charge of Lushun, such as Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, and Chen Liangce. Until now, the official resignation of the general has not been issued.
As for Li Yuanqing, even if he single-handedly broke out of Dongjiang's circle and became the commander-in-chief of Changsheng Island.
But in fact, apart from Li Yuanqing, the person with the highest official position in Changsheng Camp at this time was Shang Laoliu, but Shang Laoliu was just a guerrilla at this time, and his status as a general had not been reduced.
Of course, even though Shang Laoliu had already enjoyed the treatment of a general or even a deputy general in the Changsheng Camp, the process was not completed on the court's side.
This is the difference between civil and military forces.
In the Changsheng Camp, Li Yuanqing had undeniable power of life and death in terms of personnel matters, but he still had to wait until the court made a decision to actually complete the process.
But to a large extent, the court's approval in this regard was not very strong.
Only Chen Zhong, because of his qualifications, jumped out of this circle early, and was as famous as Li Yuanqing, and was in the heart of the emperor, so he was not affected by this 'convention'.
This is also the source of why some people in Dongjiang Headquarters are currently uneasy.
There is no hope of promotion, and it is ominous to go abroad, so they can only seek wealth.
At this time, Li Yuanqing didn't have much impression of Wang Shiqin, but he could be regarded as a direct descendant of Sun Chengzong, and he was so respectful. Li Yuanqing did not refuse, and drank a few bowls with him with a smile, and they became acquainted.
At this time, Zu Dashou, who was at the bottom of the table and next to him, smiled and picked up the wine bowl and said with a smile: "Li Shuai, I humbly offer you a bowl."
Zu Dashou was about thirty years old. He was wearing the robes of a military officer. He smiled and looked at Li Yuanqing very respectfully.
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Yuan Qing has admired my ancestor's reputation for a long time. Come on, let's have this bowl."
Although Zu Dashou is not very old and his official position is not high, because of his ancestor's background, he can be regarded as the real powerful person in Liao.
To a certain extent, he has a stronger foundation than Zhao Lejiao, Sun Jian, You Shilu, and Wang Shiqin.
To put it bluntly, one's ancestors were rich, had many servants, and many servants, so no matter what they did, they would be more confident.
It was not the first time that Li Yuanqing and Zu Dashou met, and they were not strangers.
With the experience of later generations, and in the previous battle of Guangning, Liu Qu and his men were surrounded in Shaling. Instead of saving them, these thousands of elite cavalrymen turned around and ran away, which left a very bad impression on Li Yuanqing.
.
Although at that time even if Zu Dashou joined the battlefield, the outcome of the battle was still unknown, but to a large extent, this guy had thousands of elite cavalry and strong soldiers and horses. If he could join the battlefield in time, even if Liu Qu and others could not resist, they would at least be able to resist.
If there is only a chance to escape, all the nearly 30,000 people will not be surrounded and suppressed by Hou Jin's main force, and no one will be left.
Not to mention, the flowers that Luo Guangyi had been waiting for in Xiping Fort all withered, and he had no choice but to kill himself to die for his country.
To a large extent, it does not offend him at all to say that Zu Dashou had to pay for the tragic events at Shaling and Xipingbao that day.
However, he was a general and had a solid foundation. After escaping to Juehua Island, Sun Chengzong protected him and ordered him and Jin Guan to guard Juehua Island.
But the damn Juehua Island is far away from the mainland on the sea. How can it possibly have the main force of Hou Jin?
But even so, he was still exempted from responsibility, and he got promoted and made a fortune.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing had a drink with Zu Dashou, his impression of Zu Dashou had not changed at all.
How clever is Zu Dashou? He also felt that there seemed to be an inexplicable meaning in Li Yuanqing's smile.
But Li Yuanqing held a high position, and having a drink with him had already given him enough face. Naturally, he did not dare to find fault. Although he had a smile on his face, he looked a little embarrassed.
Zu Dashou also understood at this time that he and Li Yuanqing were afraid that they would not be able to pee in the same pot, so they did not follow Zhao Lian's teaching of "getting rich in all seasons". They only offered Li Yuanqing a bowl, then sat down with a smile and said nothing.
Zhao Shujiao was also a sensible person. He saw at a glance that there seemed to be a slight problem between the two of them, and he no longer forced Zu Dashou. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, come on, let's go one by one."
Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Zhao."
He still had to give Zhao Shujiao some face.
But as soon as the two men picked up the wine bowls, there was suddenly a commotion underneath.
Everyone's brows couldn't help but frown. After a moment, Zhao led the teacher and said: "Come here, go and see what's going on down there? I don't want to live anymore!"
"yes!"
A soldier hurriedly answered the door and hurriedly walked down the stairs.
Li Yuanqing's brows also wrinkled slightly.
Today, he invited the generals of Guan Ning to drink. It was indeed a bit complicated. It was normal for the soldiers to have disharmony among themselves, but at this time, who dared not to give him Li Yuanqing face? To cause trouble at this time?
All the generals in the hall also reacted at this time, and their faces were not so good. They were afraid that their own soldiers were causing trouble, so they hurriedly called their own soldiers to go down and check.
Not long after, the leader of the soldiers led by Zhao rushed up and quickly knelt down on one knee in front of everyone. His face was very embarrassed, and he wanted to say something but dared not say it.
Zhao Shujiao's face also darkened, "Is there something you want to hide? What happened, tell me quickly!"
Today is Li Yuanqing's treat, but this is his place. If someone damages Li Yuanqing's place, it is equivalent to damaging his Zhao Shujiao's place.
Man Gui was also a little unhappy, "Donkey Ball, why don't you let people have a good drink? What's going on?"
Just as Zhao led the soldiers to speak, Niu Gensheng, the leader of Li Yuanqing's soldiers, hurried upstairs. He didn't have time to pay attention to the generals, and quickly came to Li Yuanqing's ear and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Li Yuanqing's face turned gloomy for a moment. He pushed the wine bowl aside, picked up his knife, and strode out of the door, "Let's go!"
Soon, Li Yuanqing and Niu Gensheng walked quickly.
Seeing Li Yuanqing like this, Man Gui also knew that something big must have happened. Otherwise, Li Yuanqing would not be able to abandon everyone and leave. He quickly called to the leader of his soldiers and followed Li Yuanqing hastily.
Zhao Shujiao's face became more and more gloomy, and he kicked the leader of his own soldiers hard, "Damn it, what happened?"
The leader of the soldiers came to his senses and said hurriedly: "Commander Li, Marshal Li, Marshal Li's beloved concubine was, was molested..."
"What?"
Zhao Shujiao couldn't help but be shocked!
He never expected that such a big thing would happen down below while he was enjoying the wine above.
He didn't have time to think, he quickly picked up his sword and rushed downstairs.
The generals also reacted and hurried down.
At this time, in the hall, the originally bustling wine shop was already tense.
Li Yuanqing's more than twenty soldiers had their sabers unsheathed, pointing straight at the thirty or forty soldiers on the opposite side.
The people on the opposite side were not to be outdone, holding up bright swords and shouting curses.
There were also many soldiers hiding on both sides to 'watch' the battle.
Li Yuanqing's beloved concubine Nian'er was like an injured kitten, squatting behind a group of soldiers, crying.
Seeing Li Yuanqing striding down, his soldiers quickly surrounded Li Yuanqing and glared at him.
Li Yuanqing ignored the arrogant soldiers on the opposite side, strode towards Nian'er, carefully held her in his arms, and said gently: "Nian'er, are you okay?"
"General, Nian'er is fine. Nian'er has caused trouble for you."
With Li Yuanqing's arrival, Nian'er finally found a backbone and threw herself into Li Yuanqing's arms. She kept crying and soon the clothes on Li Yuanqing's chest were soaked through.
Li Yuanqing gently patted her shoulder, but his eyes glanced at the soldiers on the opposite side.
The shouting soldiers on the opposite side did not dare to face Li Yuanqing's power. They were also a little panicked and stood there blankly. No one dared to shout and curse again, and the place became quiet for a while.
At this time, Zhao Zhijiao and a group of generals had come down.
Zhao Zhijiao glanced at the soldiers on the opposite side, glared at Zu Dashou brothers, and said to Zu Dashou in a cold voice: "Look at the good things you have done."
Zu Dashou never thought that his own soldiers were actually responsible for this shameful thing...
Li Yuanqing was a little dissatisfied with him originally, but now it's better...
But Zu Dashou had no time to think about anything else. He strode forward and slapped the two leading soldiers fiercely, "You bastards! Look at the good things you have done!"
One of the head soldiers knelt down and said: "General, I'm humble, I'm unintentional! This, this is a complete accident! I didn't touch her! I hate those bastards in Liaonan...General, they obviously look down on us."
ah!"
Zu Dashou couldn't help but get furious, "You bastard, how dare you fucking talk back?"
As he spoke, he kicked the leader of the soldiers violently and knocked him over several times.
Things have become clear. Li Yuanqing's beloved concubine Nian'er was originally feeling ill. After eating, she was about to go to the garden behind the building to bask in the sun and pick a few flowers to relax, but she met someone who had drunk too much.
The leader of the soldiers of the ancestral family went to the toilet.
The leader of the bodyguard was drunk. He didn't expect to meet such a beautiful female family member here. He couldn't help but tease her with words and wanted to touch her.
Nian'er was frightened and ran directly into the hall and found Niu Gensheng, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
At this time, Zu Dashou directly grabbed the front of the soldier's shirt and slapped him in the face more than a dozen times, until the soldier's face was covered with blood.
He dragged him to Li Yuanqing's side and said respectfully: "Li Shuai, you are humble and incompetent in your position. I beg Li Shuai to punish him."
Li Yuanqing nodded lightly, "General Zu's military law is indeed strict! Li admires it!"
