"Slave Badalu, I have met Li Shuai."

On the east side of the camp, Badalu, who was like an old dog, knelt down in front of Li Yuanqing respectfully, with his butt in the air and not daring to breathe.

If we say that before, Badalu was still a little resentful towards Li Yuanqing, believing that Li Yuanqing's victory over Qingtai Valley was mainly due to luck and his lack of preparation.

But at this time, Li Yuanqing took less than a day to capture the fortress Lianshan Pass and also captured Mang Gurtai's brother-in-law Baiyin Atu alive. This...

Obviously this can no longer be explained by luck.

Especially in these days, Li Yuanqing did not restrict Badalu's freedom, but gave him the right to command these Han army flag slaves and real slaves.

During the march, Badalu also gained a deeper and clearer understanding of the strength of the Ming army, especially the power of firearms, and Li Yuanqing's supreme command.

Of all things in the world, the strong are respected.

If at this time, he, Badalu, still dares to challenge Li Yuanqing's authority without opening his eyes, it is not like a mouse teasing a cat - does he think his life is too long?

"Haha. Get up. Badalu, you are not young anymore. From now on, you don't have to be too cautious. If you serve me with peace of mind, I will not treat you badly."

Li Yuanqing smiled and touched Badalu's bare forehead. This has become Li Yuanqing's habitual action...

Although Li Yuanqing's voice was not loud and his tone was very soft, Badalu could clearly feel the power in it.

The tall intellectual nobleman in front of me is simply...

"Thank you Li Shuai for your kindness."

Badalu quickly stood up and stood respectfully beside Li Yuanqing like an old dog.

Li Yuanqing looked at the large area of ​​Houjin slaves who were busy cutting and drying grass in front of him, and turned to Badalu and said: "Badalu, if we stock up on three months' worth of fodder for all the livestock of our army at this time, how long will it take?"

"

"Well?"

Badalu was stunned. He never thought that Li Yuanqing's appetite was so big. Wouldn't that mean...

But at this time, how could Badalu dare to resist Li Yuanqing's power?

He hurriedly explained carefully: "Li Shuai, a war horse needs at least three bales of grass a day. The mules and horses can be less, just two bales. If it is a war, the consumption will be even higher. According to this calculation, we can at least

It will also require dozens of stones of fodder. Master, if the slaves work hard, they should be able to collect everything in about twenty days. The main thing is to dry it, which will take more time."

Li Yuanqing nodded, "You should work harder on this matter. If you do it well, I won't treat you badly. Your sons... are all pretty good. Do your best."

How could Badalu still not understand what Li Yuanqing meant? He knelt down and kowtowed respectfully: "To serve the Lord, I will have to go through fire and water, and my liver and brain will be ruined."

Li Yuanqing smiled, ignored him, and strode forward.

Yang Miaocai was still checking the quality of the forage on the big stone surface below. At this time, Chen Zhong strode to Li Yuanqing's side and said somewhat unhappily: "Yuan Qing is just an old Tatar, why should you be so polite to him?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed Chen Zhong a cigar. He also lit a cigar and took a deep breath: "Brother, a ruler is short and an inch is long. The Tatars are feeding livestock.

, is indeed better at it than us. Then we should learn more and learn from each other's strengths."

"Ahem. Yuan Qing, they are just a bunch of dog Tatars. Is it a skill to be able to feed horses? We have a lot of grooms in the Ming Dynasty."

Chen Zhong also lit the cigar and took a deep breath, but he obviously didn't care about Li Yuanqing's words.

Li Yuanqing smiled, but was not in a hurry to refute.

The land of China, since ancient times, has claimed to be the ‘Celestial Kingdom’, especially the so-called scholar-official elite.

This makes this deep-seated arrogance flow from top to bottom.

To put it nicely, this is called complacency, but to put it badly, it is stupid and living in a cloud of illusion every day.

To a certain extent, the so-called heavenly kingdom is indeed not wrong.

For example, the powerful Han Dynasty, such as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, China is indeed the kingdom of heaven and the core of the entire world.

But at this time, what does China mean?

indeed.

Many people can comfort themselves and find solace by saying, "A skinny camel is bigger than a horse."

But what you need to know is that this was the beginning of the Age of Discovery, and the wealth of the entire world was rapidly converging on Western Europe.

If we cannot grasp this golden period, what changes can be expected in the future historical pattern and in history?

Can the "Sick Man of East Asia" brand be removed by just talking?

The sage said: "When three people are walking together, there must be one who is my teacher."

such a pity.

Nowadays, the so-called scholar-official elite is indeed using the name of the saint as a banner, but who the hell takes the saint's teachings to heart?

On the surface, he seems benevolent and moral, but he is full of male thieves and female prostitutes...

Li Yuanqing knew very well that changing all of this was far from a temporary and one-place benefit, but under his control and within his capabilities, he had to do his best.

If you do, you will have a chance to change, but if you don't do it, you will never have a chance to change.

"Brother, let's go. Let's go down below and see the war horses."

Li Yuanqing said, taking the lead to walk towards the temporarily built stables not far below.

Although Chen Zhong didn't understand what Li Yuanqing meant, when Li Yuanqing spoke, he naturally would not dampen Li Yuanqing's interest and hurriedly followed him.

At this time, the weather at the beach is cold and humid, probably several degrees colder than in the inland areas.

Although these temporary stables are temporarily built with broken wooden boards, wooden frames and tarpaulins, they are very reasonable. They are covered with hay. Although they are still not sheltered from the wind, they allow the war horses to find a comfortable place to shrink.

Take shelter in a corner and avoid being directly affected by the cold wind.

Of course, these temporary stables are naturally the work of these Tatar slaves.

At this time, Chen Zhong also understood some of what Li Yuanqing meant, but he spat lightly, "Yuan Qing, don't tell me, these dog Tatars are indeed quite good at raising horses."

Li Yuanqing smiled: "So, brother, we need to learn more and learn from each other's strengths. It doesn't take much effort to build these things, but the effect is very good. During these days, the officers happen to have no combat missions, so they can all come here

Come here and learn the Tatar way of raising horses."

Chen Zhong also fully understood what Li Yuanqing meant, and couldn't help but slap his forehead hard, "Yuan Qing, why didn't I think of this? This is also a good lesson for young men!"

Looking at Chen Zhong who was so excited that he was almost dancing, Li Yuanqing could not help but reveal a cheerful smile at the corner of his mouth.

Chen Zhong really took great pains to teach the young men of the military academy.

If you put it another way, even if this guy agrees verbally, he must have thoughts in his heart. But at this time, everything is easily solved.

Everything should still be adapted to local conditions.

…………

Beginning in the afternoon, the Ming army's sentry scouts spread densely toward the north like a net.

With the addition of the Kashima Shang brothers, and the arrival of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong's personal guards, the Ming army's sentry scale has reached more than 300 people, and there are more opportunities to detect the movements of the main force of the Mang Gurtai tribe in the north.

Sufficient spare capacity.

Since the Ming army had already made such a big gain, Li Yuanqing felt even more confident and was not in any hurry. The main force of the Ming army set up camp on the coast near the Shaozi River.

On the one hand, you can collect hay, and on the other hand, you can also catch some sea fish, improve your life, and guide the men in their training.

At this time, with the gains from Qingtai Yubao and Lianshanguan, the Ming army was very rich in supplies. Even if the Shang brothers in Ludao could not provide food and grass, there would be no problem here in supporting March and April.

The only thing that makes people a little confused is that there are no women...

However, this is also a good thing.

You can let Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and the boys work hard together.

In a flash, more than ten days have passed, and the time has come to mid-October.

News from all aspects were gathered towards the Ming army camp like snowflakes.

The most eye-catching thing is naturally the news from the capital.

Not surprisingly, the new emperor Zhu Youjian has already started to take action against the 9,000-year-old Eunuch Wei. It can be said that he is "pointing out the country while talking and laughing."

As the new emperor ascended the throne, a series of procedures were completed and power began to be transferred.

In early September, the vanguard represented by Yang Suoxiu and Yang Weiji attacked Cui Chengxiu to test the new emperor's intentions.

Subsequently, the principals Lu Chengyuan, Qian Yuanchou, and Yuanwailang Shi Gongsheng all made memorials one after another to denounce Wei Zhongxian.

Although the new emperor Zhu Youjian has been silent, the general trend has been revealed.

In the land and water of China, there may not be many heroes who stand up to the wind, but~~, there are never many people who beat up a drowned dog...

Just a few days ago, Jiaxing Gongsheng Qian Jiazheng "stands against the wind" and impeaches Wei Zhongxian for ten crimes.

One, tied with the emperor.

Second, despise the queen.

Third, provoke military power.
