Looking at the excited generals, Li Yuanqing nodded slowly: "Brothers, as the old saying goes, never forget the man who dug the well. A drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring. Commander Mao has been great to us and others."

Well. Especially this time, Marshal Mao has not done anything immoral. Although I, Li Yuanqing, am not talented, I am willing to stand on the side of justice and let the court see it and the emperor see it. The sun is shining brightly and I should not ignore it.

Leak! Brothers, are you willing to fight alongside me?"

"The handsome man is mighty!"

"I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief to the death!"

"I am willing to follow the commander-in-chief to the death!"

After hearing Li Yuanqing's attitude, the morale of all the generals in the room was immediately boosted and they all fell to their knees.

…………

After the military meeting ended, Li Yuanqing did not return to the official hall, but rode his horse to the horse farm on the northwest side of the city.

Like an old dog, Badalu hurriedly greeted him respectfully, "This slave will bow to the commander-in-chief, and the commander-in-chief will be your prince forever."

Li Yuanqing smiled and waved his hand, "Badalu, you have done well these days. I know your loyalty. Get up. Don't be formal."

"Thank you, Marshal."

Badalu quickly and carefully climbed up and stood respectfully beside Li Yuanqing.

However, although Li Yuanqing's attitude towards him was very gentle at this time, Badalu did not dare to neglect him at all.

He simply never dreamed that Li Yuanqing... actually defeated the powerful Azig in one battle, and gathered so many war horses at once, and they were all good and middle-class horses.

You know~, the minions under Azige were all the elite of Lao Khan back then, and they were the bottom of Dajin's box.

Many nomadic peoples, who were called "barbarians" by the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty, were indeed still in a state of eating raw materials and drinking blood, and had not yet been fully civilized. However, it was precisely because of this that they understood the laws of survival better.

.

The weak eat the strong!

The one with the big fist is the biggest truth!

The stronger Li Yuanqing becomes, instead of feeling hatred in Badalu's heart, he becomes more and more happy.

Because Li Yuanqing was already his new master at this time, and his new master was getting stronger and bigger. As a slave, he naturally gained face.

As long as Badalu can serve his new master Li Yuanqing well and gain actual benefits, he will naturally not run away.

How dare Badalu be disrespectful to Li Yuanqing?

Li Yuanqing naturally noticed Badalu's humility.

A veteran like Badaru has endured hardships, been tired, enjoyed the prosperity of the world, and also fallen into the trough of life.

If you want to control this kind of person, sugar-coated bullets will not work. The simplest and most direct way is to show your strength!

As long as Li Yuanqing has strength, he will always be like a dog, and vice versa.

Li Yuanqing slowly and methodically knocked out a cigar. Badalu had already taken out the cigarette stick and carefully helped Li Yuanqing light it.

Li Yuanqing smiled and threw a cigar to Badaru, and said with a smile: "The mare sent by the Japanese handsome not long ago, has it been fruitful these days? Can it be bred?"

Badalu carefully took Li Yuanqing's cigar, his face immediately full of honor, as if he had received some incredible precious treasure.

Badaru is also a long-time smoker.

However, before, he only smoked dry cigarettes, and it was not until he followed Li Yuanqing that he tasted the beauty of fine cigars for the first time.

Cigars are inherently precious treasures, not to mention that they were given to them by Li Yuanqing. Naturally, Badalu would regard them as treasures.

At this time, when he heard Li Yuanqing ask about business, how could Badalu dare to neglect? He said hurriedly and cautiously: "Commander, I am working hard to experiment. These mares are of good quality. Based on my experience, by the year of

When the time comes, if we plant a few dozen horses, it shouldn’t be a big problem.”

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded: "Let's go and have a look."

"Yes. Commander, please come this way."

Not long after, the group of people had arrived at the stable where the mare was resting, and a dozen handymen and women were carefully cleaning it.

The entire stable is very clean, not spotless, but very bright, without much of the stench of livestock.

When Badalu saw Li Yuanqing's slight nod, he was even more happy. He hurriedly smiled and said: "Commander, some of these mares are in good condition. I have left them alone. Commander, please come this way."

Badalu said, and he quickly and carefully led the way to a taller and cleaner stable not far away.

Sure enough, these dozen mares are all very beautiful in appearance, with well-proportioned lines and outstanding coat color.

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded, "Yes. Badalu, you are interested. However, I would like to know more about when the first batch of qualified war horses from my Changsheng Island Horse Farm will be able to go into battle?"

Badalu was well prepared and said with a respectful smile: "Commander, thanks to your strong support, the horse farm did not suffer much damage due to such a big storm a few days ago. If the situation goes well, I expect that,

In three years at the latest, the first batch of war horses from our horse farm will be ready for battle."

…………

When Li Yuanqing left the horse farm, it was already dark.

Returning to the official hall, Li Yuanqing did not accompany his wife and children to eat together. Instead, he made do with a simple meal and locked himself in the inner study.

At this time, the situation has developed to this point, and Li Yuanqing urgently needs to calm down and sort out his thoughts.

Today's inspection of the horse farm also gave Li Yuanqing more confidence.

The Han people did have disadvantages against nomadic peoples like the Jin Army, but~, this disadvantage was not irreparable.

The key is that the Ming Dynasty made a series of stupid mistakes before, which gave the overwhelming advantage to the Hou Jin army bit by bit.

At this time~, through Li Yuanqing's continuous efforts, Changsheng Island's new framework system, including various infrastructures, has begun to quickly get on track.

As long as Li Yuanqing is given another three to five years, it will no longer be a dream for his sons to come to Shenyang and fight back to their hometown.

such a pity.

At the moment, Li Yuanqing still wants to focus more of his attention on the internal political struggles of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already anticipated the attitude of his generals to the dispute between Dongjiang and Liaoxi. This was one of the important reasons why Li Yuanqing had full authority to act arbitrarily before convening a 'breathing meeting'.

And another key reason is... that between Li Yuanqing and Governor Yuan, there has been a kind of... a tacit understanding that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

The reason why Li Yuanqing criticized Governor Yuan in front of Chen Jisheng at this time was because Li Yuanqing was very confident that Governor Yuan would not point the finger at him, Li Yuanqing.

On the contrary, if he Li Yuanqing did not go to criticize Governor Yuan, he would be afraid that it would arouse Governor Yuan's vigilance.

And as this memorial was issued, it was like a bow and arrow leaving its string, its trajectory was already flying in the air, and it was never too far away from the explosion.

Outside the window, the cool evening breeze gently flapped the leaves, making a soft "clatter" sound.

Li Yuanqing leaned a little tiredly on the comfortable tiger leather sofa, looking at the huge map of the Ming Dynasty hanging on the screen opposite, and thought for a long time.

Suddenly, Li Yuanqing smiled faintly.

Watch until the clouds open and the moon shines!

It is indeed time for Liao Di to enter a new era!

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing stopped worrying about these troubles and strode towards the middle courtyard.

Tonight, there is also Peony, a little oriole, waiting for him to enjoy it!

…………

In a blink of an eye, the time has arrived at the beginning of September.

During this period, the scolding war between Mao Wenlong and Governor Yuan had escalated to the point where it was almost a stab at bay.

All kinds of information, from the capital, from Liaoxi, and from the Dongjiang River, are like snow flakes, constantly sent in.

Although Li Yuanqing expressed his position before, it was just a memorial and did not have the full effect as imagined.

The main reason is that Mao Wenlong's brilliance is so great at this time that even Li Yuanqing cannot snatch it away.

Even Emperor Chongzhen was suffering from a headache at this time. The series of new plans originally aimed at Li Yuanqing could only be put on hold temporarily and turned to deal with the affairs of Mao Wenlong and Governor Yuan.

On the afternoon of the seventh day of September, Li Yuanqing rarely did any official business, but lazily came to Yang Jiao's mother's yard to take a nap.

However, on the comfortable big bed, taking a nap with Li Yuanqing and Yang Jiao~niang was Shaoyao, a little oriole.

After several days of hard development by Li Yuanqing, peony is like a small bone flower that has bloomed into beautiful flowers.

It has entered early autumn, and the harvest time of sweet potatoes is coming soon, and the weather is already a little cold.

The shower had just stopped, and Li Yuanqing was lying in a comfortable and warm bed, enjoying the service of two plump beauties, one large and one small. At this time, a maid came to report urgently that there was a guest from western Liaoning.

I want to visit him Li Yuanqing.

"Guest from Liaoxi?"

Li Yuanqing's brows couldn't help but frown tightly.

Yang Jiao's mother was also startled and hurriedly signaled to Shaoyao on the side to help Li Yuanqing clean up quickly. She said carefully: "Yuanqing, did something happen?"

At this critical juncture, no matter the wind or grass, everything will be at war.

Not to mention, he is from western Liaoning.
