Kneel down and beg for support. The boat kneels down to thank you.

There was something wrong with the contract for the new book issue, and it’s only now been sorted out, so we’re behind by more than half a shoot.

I don’t ask for much, just your thoughts. Thank you for the little boat.

~~~~~~~

Having known Chen Jisheng for so long, Li Yuanqing already knows his temperament very well. For a person like him, no matter what he does, he will never do it without aim.

If he could show himself Mao Wenlong's secret report, he must have his own intentions.

Although Mao Wenlong exaggerated the content of the letter, it was mostly true. However, through his words, Li Yuanqing also understood Mao Wenlong's somewhat 'irritable', or less rounded, side.

After all, even if you are close to Wang Huazhen, using such a command-like tone is a bit...

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has used culture to control military affairs and shared the world with the world's powerful gentry.

What's more, a high official like the governor?

Character determines destiny.

From these tiny details, it is not difficult to see why Mao Wenlong later had such an unhappy relationship with the civil service group of Denglai.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing said cautiously: "Brother, although our army still has some food, its pay and silver are no longer enough. The court...and, will the governor agree to the general's request to send troops?"

Chen Jisheng slowly exhaled, "No one can say for sure about this matter. It is better to ask for help than to ask for help from yourself. We must be prepared for the worst."

Li Yuanqing deeply believed in this statement.

Whenever you place your hopes on others, it is the behavior of a weak person.

At this time, the waiter served food and wine.

Li Yuanqing filled a glass of wine for Chen Jisheng, poured another glass for himself, signaled to Chen Jisheng, drank it all, and then said: "Brother, what are the general's plans for this?"

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but smile. Talking to smart people would save energy.

Li Yuanqing seemed to be asking Mao Wenlong about his plans, but in fact, he was asking him about Chen Jisheng.

Chen Jisheng took a bite of his food and chewed it slowly. After a moment, he said: "For this plan, the first thing we have to deal with is the invading Tatars from the northern front. Furthermore, we also have to leave a way out for ourselves."

Li Yuanqing has vaguely understood what Chen Jisheng meant. I am afraid that the war on the northern front will not concern him for the time being.

"Brother, what do you mean..."

There is no need to say some words too directly, it is enough to express your attitude.

Chen Jisheng smiled and said, "The general wants to open up a new area in Yizhou and Longchuan as a retreat for our army. I recommended you to the general."

Li Yuanqing was already prepared, but he still pretended to be surprised, "Brother, it's North Korea over there."

Chen Jisheng couldn't help but sneer, "They are just barbarians, what do you do with them? Hum~~, the general has borrowed troops several times, and the Korean people have found various reasons to refuse. Are they trying to be both at odds and have no confidence in us? Yuan Qing,

When you go, don’t pay too much attention to it. Anyone who dares to hinder our military affairs will be killed without mercy..."

…………

After drinking with Chen Jisheng until almost midnight, Li Yuanqing returned to the camp a little tired.

It seems that the seeds of the Dongjiang group's unfriendliness towards North Korea were already planted in the early stages.

This issue of stance, whether it is right or wrong, cannot be explained in a sentence or two, but when fighting the Japanese and aiding the DPRK, tens of thousands of soldiers of the Ming Dynasty buried their bodies in foreign lands, helping them withstand the risk of annihilation.

At this time, although the Hou Jin Dynasty was powerful, North Korea had geographical advantages after all, but it was really unreasonable to shirk Mao Wenlong several times.

Frankly speaking, Chen Jisheng had his own selfish motives when he asked Li Yuanqing to go to Yizhou and Longchuan. He just wanted to preserve and accumulate strength. After all, he believed that Li Yuanqing was his man and worthy of trust, and Li Yuanqing could not find the palm of his hand.

As for Li Yuanqing, after filling up his Qianzong establishment, he indeed needs enough time to reorganize and train the troops.

Fighting to support war is indeed the fastest way to form an army, but it cannot last long after all.

Therefore, Li Yuanqing was also a little tempted by Chen Jisheng's proposal.

Including before, Chen Jisheng asked Li Yuanqing to go to Jinzhou to persuade Liu Aita to surrender, which was actually a good move. But at that time, Li Yuanqing was in a low position and did not have much say. He did not have enough weight in Mao Wenlong's heart. Even if he went, he would probably be

'Make wedding clothes for others'.

Just like Zhang Pan, there won't be many obstacles for him to take over things in Golden State, but it will be a matter of course. This is a matter of qualifications.

Back in the room, Caizi was still waiting for Li Yuanqing. When she saw Li Yuanqing coming back, Caizi quickly stood up and said, "Master, are you back?"

With that said, he busily served Li Yuanqing to undress.

It feels really different to be served by someone, especially a woman, or a beautiful woman.

Li Yuanqing's originally depressed mood suddenly became much brighter.

"Have you eaten?" Li Yuanqing smiled.

Caizi nodded quickly, "After eating, they brought it to me."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "If you have any needs, you can ask me. Don't wrong yourself. Tomorrow, I will leave some private money for you."

Cai Zi couldn't help but be overjoyed, "Thank you, thank you."

Li Yuanqing smiled, stretched out his hand and pulled her closer to his arms...

…………

Although he was accompanied by Cai Zi, a Japanese slave girl, Li Yuanqing opened his eyes on time at dawn the next day.

Although the gentle countryside is good, this is definitely not the time to be sentimental.

Mao Wenlong has promised Li Yuanqing to recruit troops today, and Li Yuanqing also needs to make more preparations in advance.

After walking out of the door, Shang Laoliu was greeting a few soldiers and cleaning the area near the barracks. When he saw Li Yuanqing coming out, he came to Li Yuanqing with a dry pipe and smiled, "Yuanqing, I thought you would get up a little late."

Li Yuanqing smiled and said, "Brother Shang, if you want, I'll help you keep an eye on one."

Shang Laoliu waved his hand hurriedly, "I have spring flowers, that's enough. By the way, Yuan Qing, what are the arrangements for today's conscription?"

Seeing Shang Laoliu bypassing the topic, Li Yuanqing didn't hesitate, "After breakfast, let's go to the recruiting point to recruit soldiers. I said hello to Chen Jisheng and Chen Zhong, and they will help us. Remember, even if you are not young and strong,

, I also only want people with clean financial status."

Shang Laoliu nodded, "Yuan Qing, don't worry. I know."

After breakfast, Li Yuanqing's men were divided into more than a dozen groups and dispersed to various recruitment points.

In fact, since Mao Wenlong captured Zhenjiang, the recruitment of troops has not ended. Officers at all levels have to replenish their troops, including Mao Wenlong.

Zhenjiang is the core of the Zhenjiang area, with a population of hundreds of thousands. Under Mao Wenlong's win-win measures, public opinion has initially returned, which made Mao Wenlong's recruitment operation much smoother.

Li Yuanqing went directly to the recruiting point at Chen Zhong's camp. Chen Zhong had been waiting for a long time.

Chen Zhong might put off other people's affairs for a while, or simply ignore them, but when Li Yuanqing had something to do, how could he refuse? He had sent out his capable forces early to help Li Yuanqing.

"Haha. Brother Chen, how did you feel last night?" After sending all the soldiers to work, Li Yuanqing teased Chen Zhong with a smile.

Chen Zhong blushed and smiled awkwardly: "Let's just make do with it. What about you? Yuan Qing?"

Seeing Chen Zhong's serious look, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile, "It's not bad. It's not a problem to be surrounded by men all the time."

Chen Zhong smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, when we kill all the Tatars, I will definitely buy a big house with dozens of acres and marry ten or eight concubines."

Li Yuanqing nodded slightly, but his tone was extremely solemn, "I will, Brother Chen, I will definitely do it."

With Chen Zhong's help, Li Yuanqing's recruitment operation went smoothly. By evening, almost all the people had been recruited, about 1,100 people.

However, due to the shortage of ordnance, Mao Wenlong could only provide Li Yuanqing with equipment and weapons for 4,500 people, and Li Yuanqing could only figure out the rest by himself.

In the evening, Mao Wenlong's order came down, ordering Li Yuanqing to lead his headquarters and move to Yizhou and Yongchuan lines, and they needed to set off as soon as possible.

The order was written by Mao Wenlong himself. Judging from his tone and attitude, Li Yuanqing could also feel that Mao Wenlong had high hopes for his trip.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there is really no one under Mao Wenlong who can do this better than Li Yuanqing, which makes people more reassured.

The next morning, the team had packed up and was about to set off. At this time, a messenger came quickly from outside the camp and said, "Master Li, the imperial decree has arrived, and so has your official status."

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurried back to the camp with the messenger to entertain him well.

With Li Yuanqing's official position, it was natural that he did not disturb the emperor's imperial edict. He was just sending a document to the Ministry of War. However, Li Yuanqing still gave the messenger enough respect, and before leaving, he quietly stuffed a banknote into his hand.

According to the practice of the Ming Dynasty's military system, under a thousand households, including deputy thousand households, Liaodi itself can decide. In other words, Mao Wenlong decided on the candidates and reported them directly to the governor. The governor nodded and forwarded them to the Liaodi Dusi.

, it can be determined.

But Qianhu was already considered a formal, ranked military position, which was equivalent to the regiment level in later generations. Especially at this time, Li Yuanqing, who was actually serving Qianhu, could be considered to have a heavy army.

Normally, Qianhu would go to the Ministry of War in the capital to report on his duties when he was promoted or handed over, but at this time, the war in Liao was tense, so Mao Wenlong was blocked by Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing also received news from the courier that the imperial court had promoted Mao Wenlong to the rank of Staff General of the Guangning Army.

The military system of the Ming Dynasty consisted of guerrillas, participating generals, deputy generals, and general soldiers, in order.

With Mao Wenlong's achievement of creating the Ming Dynasty's first victory against the Jin Dynasty, he only gave it to a general. The court was obviously a little stingy.

But Li Yuanqing also understood that if you are not a family member, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. These big bosses from the capital go out to carry a big sedan chair and come home to have beautiful wives and concubines. Even if the little emperor of Tianqi summons them, they will probably be given seats. How can these people?

Can you understand the hard work of the frontline soldiers in Liaoning?

But at this point, Mao Wenlong has become a leader, and Li Yuanqing also understands that this title of general is probably just an excess.

Otherwise, if the court cannot give Mao Wenlong enough respect, even if Mao Wenlong doesn't care, none of the tough men under his command, including Li Yuanqing, will agree.
