Seoul.
Unlike Meng Qingzhu who was extremely busy, Li Yuanqing's life was extremely relaxed.
Li Zhu has already surrendered. These trivial matters are naturally his job. Li Yuanqing and the main force of the Ming army only need to prepare in advance and wait to receive manpower.
The process of purchasing Jeju Island has basically been completed. Representatives from both parties have signed. Li Yuanqing's advance fleet has already rushed to Jeju Island.
Li Zhu also had several personal followers who secretly accompanied him.
Of course, unlike Li Yuanqing's advance fleet, which was preparing to inspect the terrain and establish a new stronghold, Li Zhu's personal entourage to Jeju Island was to bring back the blind Lord Gwanghae, search for a new location, and continue to bring him back.
Exile, house arrest.
However, Li Jie has not made public the affairs of Jeju Island yet.
This Tartar invasion really damaged his vitality. He must seize the time to restore some vitality and stabilize the whole situation.
Li Yuanqing also expressed his understanding of this and gave Li Zhu a certain degree of support.
In fact, under the general trend at this time, with the support of Li Jue and Jiang Hongli, plus the two good dogs Jin Zidian and Pu Lie, Li Yuanqing would have a lot of chances to abolish Li Zhu and establish a new king.
grasp.
But~, after careful consideration, Li Yuanqing gave up this idea.
The main reason is that Li Yuanqing's manpower is still too insufficient at this time. Even if he takes North Korea, he will not be able to survive.
Moreover, North Korea is already devastated and a mess. If Li Yuanqing takes over North Korea, he will definitely spend a lot of effort and money to integrate it. This is obviously not a very wise thing for Li Yuanqing at this time.
.
After all, Liaonan is Li Yuanqing’s roots.
Li Yuanqing must first ensure the interests and various infrastructure construction of Liaonan.
Compared with Li Jue, Li Jue is more obedient, but Li Jue is obviously more capable.
Then let Li Zhu manage North Korea first, and when it was almost done, Li Yuanqing would take over, which would save a lot of trouble.
North Korea is surrounded by the sea on three sides and is within easy reach of southern Liaoning. Even if Li Jian could get wings? How could he escape from Li Yuanqing's grasp?
On these days, in the mornings, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong basically inspected the locations of various ministries and reviewed the joint drills of the two ministries.
In the afternoon, Li Yuanqing would go to a small river two or three miles away from the main camp of the Ming army to fish and listen to all kinds of intelligence.
In later generations, Li Yuanqing liked fishing very much.
Whether you can catch fish or not is secondary. The key is that it can make people calm down and keep a cool head.
Especially in this situation, although the Ming army seemed to have an advantage, in fact, this advantage was not stable and was surrounded by crises on all sides.
Li Yuanqing needs to keep a calm head.
Chen Zhong was originally very interested in fishing at first, but unfortunately, he lost interest after not being able to catch a fish for two days in a row. He simply took his soldiers to the surrounding woods to hunt for fun and exercise in the afternoon.
Get some good meat to eat.
Li Yuanqing was helpless about this and could only follow him.
He's the big brother.
As a general, you can do it, very qualified, but~, if you are a handsome man, it is a bit reluctant.
However, with Li Yuanqing here, this problem is no longer a problem. How could Chen Zhong leave him?
In the afternoon, the sky was a little gloomy. Li Yuanqing was wearing a tattered bamboo hat and a tattered raincoat, holding a simple fishing rod made of a small bamboo pole, and sat by a clear small pool by the river, fishing quietly.
.
Not far from the small water pool, Niu Gensheng was leading hundreds of soldiers to run and exercise.
It was a cold day, but many of the soldiers were still shirtless, exposing their strong tendons, and all of them were sweating profusely.
But they were all fifty or sixty steps away from Li Yuanqing, so they would not disturb Li Yuanqing's fishing pleasure.
Beside Li Yuanqing, Yang Lei accompanied him with more than a dozen soldiers.
The small pool is clear and deep, probably less than two meters deep, and its area is not large, only forty or fifty square meters.
However, this place is seven or eight miles away from Seoul. It is surrounded by slopes and dense forests. It is not on an official road. It is very quiet and there is not much smell of fireworks in the world.
Looking at the clear water pool quietly, Li Yuanqing's mood became calmer and calmer.
In the morning, news just came from Mao Wenlong's side that the main force of Houjin from Jierhalang had passed Longchuan and fled in embarrassment towards Laozhai.
Judging by the time, they should be able to return to the old village and get supplies within three or two days.
Although Li Yuanqing was a little unhappy about this, he didn't have many good solutions for the time being.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, who were powerful at that time, mobilized the power of the entire Ming Dynasty. Even Zhu Di had already gone fishing in the sea to destroy the Mongolian royal court, but they still could not completely solve the Mongolian troubles.
Not to mention, he, Li Yuanqing, is just a strong baby at this time.
Nomads are too mobile.
Moreover, their vitality is like weeds, which cannot be burned away by wildfire, but will grow again when the spring breeze blows. It is almost difficult to completely eradicate them.
That requires enough patience and perseverance.
Especially at this time, with greasy people like Huang Taiji and Jierhalang in charge, it was almost unrealistic for Li Yuanqing to eat a big fat man in one bite.
However, Li Yuanqing was not in a hurry.
The situation in western Liaoning, southern Liaoning and eastern Liaoning was basically stable at this time. It would not be as easy for Huang Taiji to take advantage of the Ming Dynasty again.
Without the support of plunder, Hou Jin would not be able to eat enough.
For a bandit armed group like Houjin, this blow would be absolutely fatal.
However, Liaonan and Liaodong are developing rapidly.
As long as Li Yuanqing can play steadily and ensure that there are no fatal mistakes on his side, perhaps, in a few years, the situation will become clearer.
While he was thinking about it, Yang Lei quickly came to Li Yuanqing and whispered in a low voice: "General, Pu Lie has been waiting for more than an hour."
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly, snapped his fingers casually a few times, and after a moment, said: "How is he in mood?"
Yang Lei hurriedly said: "General, it seems that he has lost his temper."
"hehe."
Li Yuanqing smiled slightly: "Let him come over."
"yes."
Not long after, Pu Lie quickly stepped forward and knelt down respectfully in front of Li Yuanqing: "I am a humble official, Pu Lie, I have met the general."
Li Yuanqing lit a cigar and glanced at Park Yeol with a smile, "How is it? Brother Park, have you thought about it?"
Pu Lie hurriedly kowtowed to Li Yuanqing, almost gritting his teeth and said: "General, I'm humble, I've thought about it. It's a great honor for me that the general is willing to give me this opportunity. I'm willing to die to serve the general!"
Li Yuanqing nodded slowly: "Tell me what you think."
"yes."
Pu Lie kowtowed respectfully to Li Yuanqing again, and hurriedly explained carefully: "General, I have thought about it carefully. If we station troops in the north area, we don't need too many manpower. Three thousand people are enough."
As if he was afraid that Li Yuanqing would think his plan was immature, Pu Lie secretly took a look at Li Yuanqing's face and hurriedly explained carefully: "General, the main reason is the Tatar turmoil. The northern part of North Korea is in decline and the population is sparse. It is a humble position.
Setting the quota of three thousand people can, on the one hand, reduce expenditures, and on the other hand, it can also prevent the king from being too vigilant. Mainly because of the general’s experience in the Anzhou battle, he also understands his humble position, and the actual soldiers
It’s not about the quantity, it’s about the quality. As long as the general is willing to give me a humble position of one hundred dynasties, my old brother, the humble position can be guaranteed with a head on my head, and I guarantee to complete all the tasks assigned by the general!”
Li Yuanqing took a light breath from the cigarette butt, slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, nodded, but did not express his position, and did not say anything further.
Cold sweat broke out on Pu Lie's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "General, if, if that doesn't work, I only need fifty people for a humble position. Fifty people, fifty swords will do..."
Li Yuanqing glanced at Park Yeol.
Pu Lie hurriedly lowered his head humbly and instinctively, not daring to look at Li Yuanqing at all.
After a moment, Li Yuanqing suddenly smiled: "Brother Park, your idea is quite good. I can feel that you are very attentive to this. Very good, you did not disappoint me."
Pu Lie quickly nodded respectfully. His heart that was hanging in his throat finally relaxed a little, but he never dared to say another word.
Li Yuanqing said again: "The quota of three thousand people is still reasonable. As for fifty people, it is still a little less. In this way, I will give you two hundred Korean veterans, and in addition, I will send a reorganized Changsheng Battalion.
A total of one hundred and eighty people will assist you! I hope to see your results within a year!"
Pu Liedeng couldn't help but be overjoyed: "The general loves me so much that I will be ashamed of my humble position. I will never let down the general's high expectations!"
Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, looking at the sunset, which had already set less than half of its value. "Brother Park, you and I are both from the military. You should understand the rules. I won't say any more! Do your best! Chao
~The bright future belongs to young people like you! I will replenish the manpower for you tonight. Go ahead!"
"yes!"
