Chapter 746 The Golden Messenger!(1/2)
~~~~~~
When the play ended with Xi'er hiding behind a water tank and watching helplessly as her old father died tragically, but was still caught and humiliated by the dog Tatars, the tens of thousands of people in the venue were about to explode!
Many men couldn't help it anymore and were about to jump on the stage and beat up the turtle slaves who played the role of dog tartars. The women also scolded them.
Fortunately, Li Yuanqing was well prepared and ordered Duan Xiliang to arrange for soldiers to be on duty in advance. After the soldiers shouted loudly, the scene was finally stabilized.
And then, late at night, Xi'er used the dog to carefully escape from the Tatar camp and ran to the mountain while the Tatars were fast asleep. The audience couldn't help but applaud!
Later, when the brave men of the Changsheng Battalion, led by General Li Yuanqing, broke through the county town, killed all the Tatars, and discovered Xi'er, everyone couldn't help crying with joy.
Especially when they saw Xi'er, who was now full of white hair, complaining to the soldiers of the Changsheng Camp, even many men in the field couldn't help but burst into tears.
Ninety percent of the people present were Liao residents, and they felt the same heart-breaking feeling!
"Dog Tartar, I will kill your whole family sooner or later!"
"Father, mother, little girl, dog~dan, sooner or later, I will avenge you! Sooner or later, I will kill all these dog Tatars!!!"
"General, let's fight to Shenyang? Let's fight back to our hometown?"
"General..."
Looking at the excited crowd, Li Yuanqing and Shang Laoliu looked at each other.
Shang Laoliu couldn't help but give Li Yuanqing a thumbs up, "Yuanqing, your military morale is available!"
He really couldn't imagine how Li Yuanqing could write such a joke. It was so wonderful, but the soldiers felt the same way!
At this time, if the soldiers and people are in such a mood, why worry that Changsheng Island is not under their control?
Li Yuanqing was also in a very happy mood at this time.
Li Liuli is worthy of being a leading courtesan, and he really brings Xi'er to life. Next, it's time for him to win over people's hearts.
After giving a few instructions to Shang Laoliu, Li Yuanqing strode onto the stage and delivered an impassioned speech. He soon pointed all the contradictions on the island at the Dog Tartars!
The performance was originally planned to end at nine o'clock, but people gathered in the theater one after another and were unwilling to leave for a long time.
By the time the performance actually ended, it had already passed the middle hour, and the time had come to the first day of the first lunar month of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.
In the carriage going home, Yang Jiao's mother was extremely excited, "Yuan Qing, if this happens, Liuli and the others may not have any time to spare for the entire first month!"
Zhang Yuniang also said: "Liu Li's performance is really good. It's so vivid. Even though I already know the plot, I still can't help crying."
The tears on Zhang Baozhu's pretty face have not yet been wiped clean, "The people of Liao are really suffering! Yuan Qing, we must not let the people suffer like this anymore!"
As expected of a royal empress, Zhang Baozhu speaks well.
Qu Minqiu was also filled with emotion: "Yuan Qing, you, how did you come up with this script? Why didn't I realize that you have this talent before?"
Li Yuanqing, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but be choked by Qu Minqiu. He couldn't help but give Qu Minqiu a rolling look, "Minqiu, I have a lot of talents. I just don't hesitate to show them off. Yun Niang, Jiao~ Niang, Min Qiu,
Baozhu, don’t worry! Our days will get better and better in the future, and the lives of the common people will definitely get better and better!"
…………
The premiere of "The White-Haired Girl" was a huge success and pushed the morale of the island directly to its peak.
Next, there is an intensive performance like an assembly line.
Although Changsheng Island is not big, there are already dozens of people's settlements at this time, not to mention Liaonan mainland, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Yangguanbao, Nanxinkou and other places.
Including Lushun, which was under the rule of Shen Shikui at this time, will be the location of the tour.
Especially the military, which is the big one here.
The wind has been blown by Li Yuanqing, so Li Yuanqing will naturally not waste this good opportunity.
On the first day of the first lunar month, there were basically all welcomes and drop-offs. Li Yuanqing was very busy, but at night, Li Yuanqing still didn't rest. He summoned his wives and concubines to start planning a new script.
"The White-Haired Girl" is just an introduction to boost morale, the next scene is the most important thing!
That's right, it's the famous "Feng Bo Pavilion"!
The Southern Song Dynasty court summoned Yue Fei, who was fighting the Jin army at the front with twelve gold medals, but killed him and his eldest son Yue Yun in Fengbo Pavilion on "unfounded" charges. It was called the first in Chinese history.
A great injustice.
Especially during this season, the play "Feng Bo Pavilion" is even more important.
Li Yuanqing and his wives and concubines worked hard for three days and revised the script more than a dozen times before finalizing the script.
Rehearsal doesn't have to be too troublesome. With Wuyu Pavilion's foundation, the actors can catch a lot of them.
The key is timing. Li Yuanqing must make careful calculations to ensure that he can steadily control the momentum after "The White-Haired Girl".
In the end, Li Yuanqing decided to premiere "Feng Bo Pavilion" on the tenth day of the first lunar month.
After finishing all this work, it was already the fourth day of the first lunar month, and Li Yuanqing had time to take a short rest.
In the inner study room, the crackling sound of the brazier burned away, dispelling the severe cold outside and making the space in the room as warm as spring.
Li Yuanqing lay on a comfortable tiger-skin sofa and let Nian'er and Xiaolian rub his back and shoulders.
Not long ago, Xiaolian gave Li Yuanqing another daughter. At this time, she has almost recovered. Although she is still a little immature, she has the charm of a mature woman and is more attractive.
During this trip to Nanyang, Li Yuanqing not only brought back many white blacksmiths, shipwrights, watchmakers, but also many carpenters, as well as some miscellaneous white craftsmen.
This large sofa, whose main body is made of three tiger skins, is the outstanding achievement of white carpenters in these days.
From later generations, Li Yuanqing never stopped absorbing knowledge.
Similarly, Li Yuanqing will naturally not reject the essence of each party's culture.
In Li Yuanqing's plan, in the next ten, twenty, even thirty or fifty years, Changsheng Island will be built into a super international trading port like Hong Kong Island in later generations, and the entire Ming Dynasty and even the entire East Asia will be built.
The brightest pearl.
In later generations, Hong Kong Island, including Jiangkou, Shanghai, and Dalian, could be regarded as an international metropolis.
But they are all port cities, with obvious location advantages and equally obvious disadvantages.
Changsheng Island is located in the heart of the Liaohai Sea, only a short distance away from the capital.
As long as the international trade on Changsheng Island flourishes, it will have a vital positive effect not only on the capital, but also on the entire northern region of the Ming Dynasty.
Of course, Li Yuanqing also understood deeply that the meal had to be eaten one bite at a time and the road had to be walked step by step. To do this, he had to be patient.
At this time, with so much cash in hand, Li Yuanqing's long-planned plan can begin to be put on track for implementation.
That's the bank!
In this world, if you ask what business is the most profitable, many people may answer trade, maritime trade, arms, or even drugs.
But in fact, only finance, or capital, can truly move the balance of the world.
Just like the Rothschild family back then, although they did not have a crown, they were truly uncrowned kings.
They are like the wind, like shadows, no one feels their existence, but in fact, they are everywhere!
Especially at this time, the economic situation of the Ming Dynasty was an opportunity that could not be further improved.
But at this time, Li Yuanqing still had too few talents in accounting. He had to collect a large number of financial talents as soon as possible in order to officially establish a bank under his complete control before the middle of the year.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's mood became more and more cheerful.
Today, he is no longer the big-headed soldier who had no choice but to grit his teeth and rush forward risking his life.
The temporary loss of power in the imperial court may have had an impact on Li Yuanqing, but it did not hurt Li Yuanqing's bones at all.
If this road doesn’t work, there must be another way!
Like a spider, before he knew it, Li Yuanqing had already weaved a huge web in Liao and Ming Dynasty!
But Li Yuanqing was about to enjoy the two little beauties he had not enjoyed for a long time. At this time, soldiers outside suddenly came to report urgently: "Report-----! Urgent report from Liaoxi!"
"Um?"
Li Yuanqing couldn't help but frown slightly, and was a little stunned for a moment. This Chinese New Year has just happened on the fourth day of the first lunar month. What urgent news can there be from Western Liaoning?
But the matter in western Liaoning was a big one even if it was small. Li Yuanqing did not dare to neglect and called Nian'er to get the urgent report.
Li Yuanqing took out his cigar box and took out a cigar. Xiaolian quickly and obediently helped Li Yuanqing light it.
After taking a deep breath of the cigar, Nian'er also took the information about Liaoxi, opened it and glanced at it. Li Yuanqing's brows could not help but frown tightly.
On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month last year, Houjin sent a nine-member delegation headed by Fang Jinna to Ningyuan to meet with Yuan Chonghuan and Yuan Futai, the censor of Youqiandu in the Ming Dynasty, the governor of Liaodong, and the minister of the Ministry of War.
Make peace.
Due to the rush of time, Liu Dadou's Intelligence Department did not have accurate information about the specific content of the peace talks. However, Hou Jin's peace negotiations had very high regulations, and the Intelligence Department was full of vigilance.
Looking at Li Yuanqing's somewhat gloomy face, Nian'er and Xiaolian also knew what had happened and did not dare to act coquettishly towards Li Yuanqing anymore, so they obediently stepped aside.
Taking a deep breath of his cigar, Li Yuanqing suddenly remembered that in history, after Huang Taiji came to the throne, he took the opportunity to negotiate peace with Liaoxi to attack Dongjiang. When the encirclement and suppression of Dongjiang was unfavorable, he turned his knife against Dongjiang.
North Korea?
Damn it!
Li Yuanqing originally thought that at this time, when Hou Jin was showing weakness and was far from being as strong as in history, Huang Taiji would be able to stay quiet for a few days. Unexpectedly, this guy was really a 'bold man with great skills'!
He still hasn't given up his coveting of Dongjiang.
