In the blink of an eye, five or six days have passed, and the time has come to the seventh day of September in the fifth year of Apocalypse.

As the saying goes, 'The gentle town is the grave of heroes.'

Even though Li Yuanqing was already a very restrained person, at this time, he realized the meaning of this sentence more deeply.

Once you indulge yourself for the first time, the second and third times will easily follow.

Fortunately, although his body is a little tired, everything is still under Li Yuanqing's control and will not cause any fluctuations in the overall situation.

Early this morning, Li Yuanqing led a group of soldiers and set off with him.

The main reason was that although it was early autumn, it was still very hot at noon, and it was not appropriate to rush. Li Yuanqing could only advance his trip, use the refreshing morning to rush, and find a cool place to rest when it was hot at noon.

At this time, it was almost noon, and the team had arrived more than 20 miles away from the capital, but Yang Jiao's mother was reduced to tears.

A good life is always short.

The general trend is here, Li Yuanqing must put Changsheng Island first.

Li Yuanqing felt very uncomfortable as he held Yang Jiao in his arms, the body that his mother was most familiar with.

If he didn't have to take the overall situation into consideration, there would be nothing wrong with him even if he recalled Yang Jiao's mother back to the island.

such a pity.

Li Yuanqing is still very short of money, extremely short of money. Yang Jiao~niang and Wuyu Pavilion are the core transfer points of Changsheng Island in the capital, and are also the most critical core points of Changsheng Island in the Ming Dynasty. At this time, they are still far away.

When it can be left to outsiders.

"Jiao~mother, don't cry. Look, Saburo isn't even crying. Maybe, it won't be long before I come to the capital again."

But Yang Jiao's mother became more and more sad the more she cried: "Yuan Qing, you must take good care of yourself! Everything else is empty. Sanlang and I are here waiting for you to come back safely."

Li Yuanqing nodded heavily, pulled Yang Jiao~niang closer to the carriage, and the two kissed each other affectionately goodbye.

Although it was approaching noon and it was time to rest, Li Yuanqing did not want to see a woman's tears, especially his own woman's tears.

Following Li Yuanqing's command, the team quickly started heading east.

Although Li Yuanqing has been immersed in the gentle countryside these days, he has not been less busy with business.

The first thing to do is to buy horses.

Of course, even in the capital, breeding horses, especially excellent breeding horses, are such treasures but they have a price but no market, and it is impossible to buy them even if you want to.

However, there are still many good ordinary horses, even good horses that can get close to war horses.

As for Wuyu Pavilion, there was still plenty of money, but buying horses on a large scale in the capital was really too eye-catching, so Li Yuanqing could only reduce his appetite and buy about fifty excellent horses.

Even if these good horses cannot be used as war horses, they are still very good for transportation and reporting.

In addition to the twenty or thirty good horses that Yang Jiao's mother gathered in advance, and even a bloody horse, the number of horses in the team was close to five hundred at this time.

Looking at the orderly group of horses and the familiar faces on the horses, Li Yuanqing felt a little happier.

As long as these brothers are here, sooner or later, everything he wants will come true.

War horses were on both sides, guarding a dozen carriages in the team.

During this trip, in addition to Cai Zi, Xiao Lian, Zhang Die and Zhao Mei, Yang Jiao's mother gave Li Yuanqing twenty delicate maids to serve Li Yuanqing's daily life on the island.

There are also a variety of groceries, except for some rare luxury goods, and many more are gifts given to Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu by Yang Jiao's mother.

Riding on this tall black-brown horse, looking at the vast plains to the east, Li Yuanqing's mood gradually spread.

Although the battle of Haizhou dealt a certain blow to the main force of Houjin, it did not damage them.

Think about it, there is no way around this.

Even with the absolute suppression of firepower, but lack of mobility, it is still difficult for Li Yuanqing to achieve a real and threatening attack on Houjin's main force.

However, this was enough to allow Lao Nu and the main force of Hou Jin to live in peace for a period of time, and also allowed Li Yuanqing to have more time and energy to recuperate.

At this time, although history has undergone some subtle changes, Liaonan and Liaodong are hundreds of times more powerful than in history.

But~~, in general terms, the Ming army was still on the passive defensive side, and the initiative in this long and tangled confrontation was still in the hands of Lao Nu.

For some time, Li Yuanqing has been thinking about whether the "Ningyuan Victory" will happen again in the future with the development of history now.

For a long time before, Li Yuanqing had always had a negative attitude towards this matter. Now that it was like this, the main force behind the Jin Dynasty would probably not easily provoke Ming Dynasty again.

But~~.

The defeat of Liuhe and the stupid deaths of Lu Zhijia and Li Chengxian gave Li Yuanqing a lot of confidence in the "Ningyuan Victory".

Now that the war has reached this level, I think the old slaves and all the dignitaries of the late Jin Dynasty must have understood clearly that Liaonan and Liaodong are both hard-core.

Especially in Liaonan, if they want to get benefits from Li Yuanqing, it is basically impossible.

But~, on the other hand, in Liaoxi, where the main force of the Ming army was heavily guarded, it was...

In Li Yuanqing's memory, historically, the Ningyuan victory should have occurred at the beginning of the sixth year of Tianqi.

This is also in line with the temperament of Lao Nu and Hou Jin's main force. The beginning of the year is their favorite time to take action.

Just like the battles of Liaoyang and Shenyang, and later the battle of Guangning, they all took place at this time.

At this time, the official letter from the imperial court had been released to the world, and it was already a certainty that Gao Di, who was born in the eunuch party, would be promoted to the new Liao Territory manager.

This is also in line with the historical process.

Eighty-nine times out of ten, history will still go on this track.

Governor Yuan's strong rise to power is probably inevitable.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long breath, "What is supposed to come will always come!"

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to pay a visit to the future manager of Liao Dynasty, Mr. Lao Gao.

But at this time, it was almost the end of the month, and the sweet potatoes on Changsheng Island were about to mature. In addition, Mao Wenlong and Chen Zhong would come to watch the sweet potato harvest on Changsheng Island, so Li Yuanqing could only take care of Lao Gao for a while.

After all, even if he approached now, it would be difficult for him to gain favor in front of this old master.

However, as a member of the eunuch party, Lao Gao should be able to see something about the general situation and would not make things too difficult for Liaonan.

With something on his mind, Li Yuanqing didn't think too much and just enjoyed the scenery along the way. He had already walked this road countless times.

Because there were horses, and there were plenty of them, the team moved very quickly, traveling all the way. By a little past midnight, the team had arrived at the Dagukou Pier and met up with the fleet that had been waiting here for a long time.

After arriving on the ship and watching the fleet sail away from the land and into the deep sea, Li Yuanqing's tense nerves felt a little relieved.

Although he had been traveling all day today, Li Yuanqing was in good spirits.

He ordered the fire soldiers to cook a few side dishes, and asked Xiaolian to pour two pots of wine. He stood on the deck, overlooking the magnificent sea in the middle of the night, and Li Yuanqing's mind slowly expanded.

If the 'Ningyuan Victory' is inevitable, then what Li Yuanqing needs to think about is how to make enough capital from this victory.

However, Li Yuanqing also understood very clearly that if it were a frontal battlefield and Ningyuan City was under the command of Commander Yuan, it would probably not be his turn to intervene.

At this point, the only place to break the situation can only be on Juehua Island.

Frankly speaking, Li Yuanqing has been coveting the navy of Juehua Island for a long time.

Although Li Yuanqing had a pretty good relationship with Juehua Island Navy Commander Jin Guan, it was a pity that Juehua Island was an important reserve point for supplies in western Liaoning.

Except for a small part of the supplies and wages sent from the capital to western Liaoning, they went overland and entered western Liaoning from Shanhaiguan. Most of the others were transported to Juehua Island by the Juehua Island Navy, and then distributed to various places in western Liaoning.

I don’t know how many big bosses were staring at him here, and Li Yuanqing would never dare to raise his eyebrows openly.

But the future battle of Ningyuan will be the best opportunity for Li Yuanqing to openly intervene in Juehua Island.

After taking a sip of the wine in his glass, Li Yuanqing suddenly thought of Man Gui again.

The Battle of Ningyuan was, for Governor Yuan, the best opportunity to acquire the ‘Golden Belt’. For Man Gui, it was also the best opportunity for him to prove himself to the world.

Unsurprisingly, Man Gui should be able to firmly win the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Army by virtue of his achievements in the Battle of Ningyuan, and solidify his reputation as a general in the world.

But Li Yuanqing also suddenly remembered that Man Gui's death seemed to have been caused by his "reckless" "death charge". It was probably during the Jisi Incident in the second year of Chongzhen. During the confrontation with the Qing army, he was killed.

He was shot by Chuan Chuan, and the boar-skin bow and arrow were poisonous. Although he was covered by his own soldiers and rushed back to the main battle formation of the Ming army, testifying against Commander Yuan's "defying strategy", he did not survive the day.

He died heroically for his country.

To a certain extent, Mangui was the most important bargaining chip to bring down Governor Yuan.

But with the relationship between Li Yuanqing and Man Gui at this time, watching him live and die like this, this...

After pacing back and forth for dozens of steps, Li Yuanqing suddenly shook his head and laughed.

God knows what you did!

If Li Yuanqing, for his own selfish reasons, would disregard the life and death of Man Gui, who treated him like a brother, then~, what is the difference between him and Governor Yuan?

Plans are worse than changes.

The future is still a long way off, but Man Gui's temper probably won't change.

Li Yuanqing sighed slowly: "It seems that I, the heroic eldest brother of the Mongolian tribe, have to get a good armor! Or, just let his soldiers come to the Changsheng Camp for two years to exchange, to further strengthen him
