Chapter 81(1/2)
It’s the last few days of the new book list, so I beg for support.
~~~~~~~
Everyone was still in a daze and couldn't react for a while.
After all, this, this is really shocking? Why, how come the battle has not been fought yet, but instead you have to take off your clothes in front of these dog Tatars?
Tatars are not women either. How can it be easier to take off your clothes?
"What a fool, the military orders are falling like a mountain. Didn't you hear what I said? Take off my clothes quickly. If you make any more ink, I will chop off your heads."
Seeing that Li Yuanqing was really going crazy, Shunzi reacted first and quickly started to take off his clothes.
Chen Zhong and the soldiers, the young and strong, also reacted and imitated Li Yuanqing's example, taking off their clothes and throwing them in front.
Li Yuanqing shouted: "You guys, get this pile of clothes over there. You guys, get that pile over there. Quick."
The strict drills in daily life made these soldiers dare not neglect, taking off their clothes and arranging their clothes in piles.
Li Yuanqing shouted to the young man behind him: "You also take off your clothes. All men, take off your clothes."
"Yes. Yes." The young men also hurriedly followed suit and put their clothes in front of them and piled them up.
Across the way, several Tatar leaders from Houjin were also a little confused. Some of them couldn't help but start laughing, "Are these lowly bastards crazy? Hahaha. They thought we wouldn't kill them if they took off their clothes."
Did they?"
"As expected, Mingren is at his wits end. Hahaha. Sooner or later, the world will belong to me, Dajin."
"My master is wise. How can these smart dogs compare with my master? They must be frightened by my master and go crazy with fear. Hahaha."
"…………"
But the laughter did not last for a moment, and these Houjin officers could no longer laugh. They saw piles of blazing fires on the opposite sea in the direction of the Ming army, like scorching little suns, burning quickly and thickly.
Smoke shot straight into the sky.
The clothes are made of various fabrics, including cotton and linen, which are the most flammable items. In addition, it is the depth of winter, so they are all cotton clothes, and there is a lot of cotton inside.
How can the momentum of this fire be stopped?
On the sea, watching the fire burning more and more fiercely, groups of soldiers and young men of the Ming army were a little stunned.
Li Yuanqing couldn't help shouting, "What are you doing so stupidly? Run away."
As he said that, he took the lead and ran behind him.
The soldiers and young men also reacted and followed Li Yuanqing one after another, running madly towards the ship.
With this thickness of ice, even if a fire breaks out, it may not be able to explode the ice. However, materials such as clothing are most likely to produce thick smoke when burned, and then turn into balls of colloid until they are completely burned.
reduced to ashes.
However, on such a snowy day and with such strong winds, it was impossible to completely burn it. Just these sticky sticky colloids were enough for the horses of the Hou Jin Army to drink a pot.
What's more, based on their scientific common sense, there is light on the ice. It's hard to say whether they dare to pursue it or not.
This created a certain amount of time for the main force of Li Yuanqing's troops to escape.
At this time, although the weather was extremely cold and Li Yuanqing and others had all taken off their clothes, both soldiers and young men were still in their prime. As long as they sweat when they start running, it is not a problem at all.
At most, it would be like catching a cold or something like that.
As for weathering, what does it mean in front of Xiao Ming'er?
At this time, seeing the Ming army running farther and farther and approaching the ship soon, these Tatars were also a little anxious.
"Master, I know the dog is going to run away, should we chase him?"
A Tatar leader in his early forties narrowed his eyes tightly and looked at the thick smoke on the sea. He never dreamed that the Ming army on the opposite side would use such an unheard-of method to escape from his grasp.
Heart.
"Chasing? How to chase? If the ice cracks, what will my sons do?"
This Tatar leader is called Yaerhai, and he is a close servant of Mang Gurtai. He is officially worshiped as Jia Laer Zhen with a red flag. He is equivalent to a guerrilla general of the Ming army. He has rich leadership experience and is mature and prudent.
The situation at this time consisted of only a few hundred Ming troops and a few thousand useless old, weak, women and children, all of whom were poor, so it was not very attractive to Yaerhai.
The heads of these young refugees were enough for him to deal with his master.
"Send someone later to find out who the leader of the Ming army is. Let's go."
At this time, Houjin was just in its infancy. The so-called Baylor, with red and yellow belts, was not that worthless. Yaerhai, the Jia La Ezhen, was already in a very high position and could be regarded as a mid- to high-level general of Houjin.
He has spoken, who among the slaves dares to refute?
They all nodded in agreement, turned their horses' heads, and quickly left the area.
…………
At this time, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had already returned to the ship and quickly sailed into the sea.
Li Yuanqing looked back and vaguely saw the Jin army beginning to evacuate, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
This damn thing really has escaped from hell.
Here, although most of the soldiers are naked, the refugees have a lot of quilts, mattresses and the like. They can warm them up for a while, but they won't freeze to death, but they are really a bit immoral.
Fortunately, Guanglu Island is not far away and can be reached in a few hours.
When Li Yuanqing and his party returned to Guanglu Island, everyone was shocked.
Regardless of the soldiers or the young men, they all ran to their barracks immediately. Li Yuanqing was not in such a hurry. There were a lot of contrasts along the way. There were so many men who were richer than Li Yuanqing.
several.
Back in her room, Cai Zi blushed, "Sir, why are you doing this? It's so cold today. Come and warm yourself by the stove. I'll find some clothes for you."
But Li Yuanqing only wore a cotton-padded jacket, and Caizi couldn't find a second one, so she had to find a single piece of clothing first and help Li Yuanqing put it on.
At this time, Shang Laoliu, who was staying at the camp, also rushed over. Seeing Li Yuanqing's appearance, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Yuanqing, what's going on?"
"Hey, Brother Shang, we'll talk about this later. Hurry up and tell the fire soldiers to boil more ginger water and let the brothers drink some. This cold is no joke."
Shang Laoliu hurried to do it.
As the ginger water was boiling, the soldiers and young men all drank some and ate by the stove. Their complexions improved a lot.
Unfortunately, most people at this time only had one cotton-padded coat, so no matter whether they were soldiers or young men, they could not go out.
Fortunately, there were many more women in the camp at this time, and Li Yuanqing had brought back plenty of supplies from Dengzhou several times. He immediately put these women into action to sew new cotton-padded clothes for the soldiers and young men.
With previous experience, it will not be that troublesome to deal with so many refugees again.
Most of the refugees this time are old and weak, and mostly women and children. There are still some reservations in the previous barracks, so they can barely fit in if they are crowded.
However, Li Yuanqing still insisted on an important point: men and women must separate camps, even if they are a couple, there is no exception.
After all, there are many boys and girls in the camp at this time. If something happens, it will be a big trouble.
…………
In my busy schedule, more than ten days have passed and the New Year's Eve is coming soon.
The hard work of the women also yielded fruitful results. At this time, the soldiers and the young men all put on new cotton-padded clothes, especially the soldiers, who each reserved a set to wear new clothes during the New Year, and everyone was happy.
Li Yuanqing also regained his composure after these few days of cultivation.
At this time, under Li Yuanqing's rule, there were already more than 5,000 people, including more than 1,200 young men, 3,400 teenagers, 6,700 girls, more than 1,000 500 strong women, and the rest
Those who fell down were all the old, weak and children.
Although there may not seem to be many young people, there are more than 3,700 people with the ability to work, which is definitely a lot.
On the surface, it looks like you are suffering a loss, but in fact, you are taking a huge advantage.
In this era, population is the most important wealth.
Shang Laoliu was ordered to register all the Dingkou, hand over complex tasks such as chopping firewood and cooking to women, and expand the army and train troops. It was also put on the agenda.
After this rescue, Li Yuanqing also understood more clearly the importance of separating the military and civilians.
The matter of war is destined to have little affinity with women, and must still be completed by men.
At this time, although Li Yuanqing had land, he could not use it yet, and the supplies under his command were still sufficient. So Li Yuanqing simply organized more than 1,200 young men into the order of fighting soldiers, completely separating them from production.
, these more than 300 young men also served as a reserve team and received military training together.
However, although there are many young men and women, there is a serious shortage of armor and weapons. The generals have captured some weapons on the Black Island before, but they are all various types of maritime weapons and are of no use.
Li Yuanqing ordered people to collect these weapons, and after the New Year, he went to Mao Wenlong to ask for some craftsmen. When he arrived on Changsheng Island, he had to establish his own military industry line.
However, this is all a story for another day. In this state, we can only start with the most basic morning exercises, queueing, and obeying orders.
This is also the basis of the army. Li Yuanqing has many veterans under his command, so this is not too difficult.
On the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, the soldiers who went to Pi Island to report their merits came back.
Although the offshore sea is frozen, the deep sea is not a big problem. The messenger's boat can smoothly travel between Phi Island and Guanglu Island.
Mao Wenlong expressed his appreciation for Chen Zhong and Li Yuanqing's action of sending troops to rescue the people, and had already reported their merits to the court. However, regarding the problem of the craftsmen, Mao Wenlong said that he did not have much on his side, and just asked Li Yuanqing to wait patiently. After the New Year, he would
Ask the governor for help.
