Begging for all kinds of support..

~~~~~~

Li Yuanqing suddenly shook his head and laughed.

He had always believed that Emperor Chongzhen was headstrong, had a bad temper, was unbearable, and was difficult to achieve anything. However, unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen's plan was... a slap in the face to Li Yuanqing.

He still underestimated the heroes of the world.

After all, at this time, who else in the world besides him, Li Yuanqing, dares to take the throne of Grand Governor and Marshal?

Even Li Yuanqing, the desire in his heart began to rise infinitely at this time, not to mention those who were interested.

This was like drawing a big virtual cake in the air. Emperor Chongzhen did not lose anything, but he successfully gathered the attention of the warriors in the world.

And he, Li Yuanqing, was inadvertently pushed to the forefront.

This is really...

At this time, Caizi came to Li Yuanqing with a cup of fragrant tea, "Master, you have been sitting there for almost half an hour, would you like a cup of hot tea?"

"Well?"

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but was stunned and said with a smile: "Did it take so long?"

Caizi covered her mouth and smiled secretly: "Master, it's almost time to get pregnant now."

Li Yuanqing hurriedly took out his pocket watch and checked the time. Isn't it already almost eleven o'clock?

"Caizi, sit down. Did you have a hard time riding the boat all the way?" Li Yuanqing smiled quickly and moved some seats aside, gesturing for Caizi to sit next to him.

At this time, Ayako was already over thirty. As a wife and mother, the immaturity of her youth had long since dissipated, replaced by a rich fragrance full of mature charm.

However, considering the nature of women in the island country, she is still so cautious and shy.

"Thank you, Master."

Caizi laughed softly, carefully sat next to Li Yuanqing, and leaned gently on Li Yuanqing's shoulder.

Li Yuanqing smiled and put his arms around Caizi's plump and soft slender waist, and gently kissed her pretty face. "It's better to be at home when you are out. If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell me in time."

Although Caizi is from the island country, she is the first woman Li Yuanqing came to this era. Although Li Yuanqing's love for her cannot be said to be much, he is full of pity for her. They have long been the most familiar relatives.

Caizi smiled sweetly, "Master, there is nothing wrong with this slave. Everything is fine. It's just that you should pay more attention to rest and don't work so hard."

Looking at Caizi's most familiar pretty face, Li Yuanqing's mood suddenly became much clearer.

As the eminent monk said: "It's not the wind that's moving, it's your heart that's moving."

No matter what Emperor Chongzhen did, Li Yuanqing couldn't touch or reach him at this time, so why bother bothering others?

As long as the current war situation is under control, who in the world would dare to face Li Yuanqing's power?

After a moment, Li Yuanqing said with a smile: "Wait for me here for a while and prepare some hot water. I will go around the camp and we will take a bath together when I come back."

"Um."

Caizi blushed, but nodded obediently.

When he walked out of the big tent, the soft and warm night breeze came towards him. Li Yuanqing's spirit could not help but be lifted. After a moment, he lit a cigar, called his attendants and went straight to the north gate city wall.

Soon, the news from Chen Changliang's department at the front was gathered toward Li Yuanqing.

In order to deal with the frequent harassment by the Tatars, Chen Changliang simply extinguished the torches on the fortifications ahead and squatted in the darkness. As long as the Tatars dared to come over, there would be a sharp cannon fire.

But the Tatars also learned their lesson and no longer had any rules. They also began to squat, anyway, they just didn't want to make the Ming army comfortable.

As far as the overall situation is concerned, this little trick is nothing more than a trivial one, and Li Yuanqing took it over with a smile.

However, the mutual growth during the war, including the growth of Emperor Chongzhen, made Li Yuanqing think for a while.

But soon, he calmed down, got rid of distracting thoughts in his mind, called Chen Changliang over, gave him some encouragement, and continued to patrol the camp.

…………

In a blink of an eye, three days have passed.

By the river, the Ming Army's fortifications had been pushed out for more than three miles, and were about to border the Jin Army's outpost fortifications.

Although Dorgon and Duduo were exhausted by the Ming army, they grew rapidly in this small-scale guerrilla war.

In particular, I have a deeper understanding of the power of Ming military firearms.

At the same time, the time was ripe for the Ming army to cross the river for a general attack, and there was a quarrel within Houjin about whether to abandon Haizhou and avoid a decisive battle with the Ming army.

Under this chaotic curtain, early on the morning of July 29th, the main force of the Ming Army, with Li Yuanqing's Changsheng Battalion as the main force, supplemented by Chen Zhong's Department, Zhang Pan's Department, and Chen Liangce Department, totaled more than 40,000 soldiers.

More than 20,000 auxiliary soldiers, like a huge surging red wave, crossed the river pontoon bridge and advanced towards Haizhou City.

The Hou Jin Army suddenly felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy, roaring with force, and quickly abandoned the forward position bordering the Ming Army and retreated to the interior defense fortifications two or three miles away from Haizhou City.

At this time, due to the flood, except for the inner defense fortifications of Haizhou City that had been repaired, the forward fortifications dug by the Jin Army before and after were no longer in shape and could not be used at all.

It would take at least ten to eight days for the Ming army to push the soil over and level it.

"Yuan Qing, why do I suddenly have the feeling that the Dog Tartars don't want to fight anymore?"

Two and a half miles north of the river, on the subjective battle platform built high by the soldiers, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong stood side by side, observing Haizhou City ahead.

Chen Zhong suddenly whispered to Li Yuanqing.

At this time, the rules and regulations of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong were already very complete. Even for such a large-scale troop mobilization, they no longer had to do it themselves. Each department only had to act according to the plan.

But Chen Liangce and Zhang Pan were not so relaxed. They still had to watch in person.

"Haha. Brother, why do you suddenly have such an idea?"

Li Yuanqing smiled and handed Chen Zhong a cigar, and lit one himself slowly and methodically.

Chen Zhong took a deep breath from the cigarette butt, smiled and said: "Yuan Qing, anyway~~, if I were Huang Taiji, I would definitely not fight with us. Haizhou City is just worthless. Even if Huang Taiji fights

He won't get much benefit from defeating us. It's impossible for him not to understand this."

Li Yuanqing smiled and nodded: "Brother, to be honest, I hope that Huang Taiji will give up Haizhou, and that we can each be stable for another three to five years before trying to fight decisively. However, I'm afraid, we don't have the right to choose in this matter.

Not with them either."

"Huh? Yuan Qing, what does this mean? It's not ours, nor theirs? Then who has the final say in this battle?"

Chen Zhong was a little confused for a while.

Li Yuanqing smiled: "I once heard that in the past, there was a legendary master who once created a martial arts mental method. The core of it is not on this side, not on the other side, not in the middle, so that he can stand alone in the world and be invincible!"

"this……"

Chen Zhong suddenly became even more confused and couldn't find a clue at all.

For a moment, Li Yuanqing hurriedly smiled and explained: "Brother, even if Huang Taiji wants to retreat at this time, I'm afraid he may not be able to retreat. If he retreats now, things will definitely happen to the minions below. So, even if it is difficult,

, he will definitely evacuate after a battle with us. And we, I’m afraid, can’t just use Haizhou City as our target.”

"Fuck! This..."

Li Yuanqing's words were so clear. How could Chen Zhong not understand the deeper meaning? He couldn't help but spat hard and said in a low voice: "Yuan Qing, at this time, do we still need to take care of these nasty things?

"

Li Yuanqing smiled: "So, brother, you and I must continue to be strong. Only if we are stronger than before can we stand firm in this big wave."

The affairs of the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion were still being kept secret at this time, and the news came through Kubo Kyoko's private channel immediately. Chen Zhong didn't know about it yet, and Li Yuanqing didn't tell him either.

There is a saying, "Kill without blood."

There is also a more classic allusion in Chinese history called "Two peaches kill three scholars."

At this time, the Tatars, even the main force of Houjin, are actually not scary. What is really scary is the invisible soft knife behind them.

Especially since this was a joint operation, Li Yuanqing naturally did not dare to act rashly until the matter was not absolutely sure.

Chen Zhong nodded vigorously, "Yuan Qing, no matter what decision you make, I will support you as before! Rain or shine, we brothers will walk together!"

Li Yuanqing shook Chen Zhong's big hand and said, "Brother, I believe in you!"

…………

After the Ming army set up camp, they quickly began a bulldozing offensive, showing some impatience.

This also made the princes and dignitaries of the Later Jin Army in Haizhou City even more confused.

Going up to the south city of Haizhou, under the royal banner of Huang Taiji, nearly a hundred nobles and nobles of the Later Jin Dynasty were accompanying Huang Taiji to observe the battle formation of the Ming army.

Led by Daishan, Manggurtai, and Jierhalang, all the time-honored princes and dignitaries, they were not very supportive of Dai Jin's decisive battle with Li Yuanqing in Haizhou, which did not have the advantage of geographical advantages, nor sufficient preparation for the city.

However, the sharp forces of the new generation in the army, including Azig, Hauge, Dorgon, and Duduo brothers, including Tan Bai and Ao Bai, all chose to side with Huang Taiji and wanted to fight Li Yuanqing to the death.

Of course, there are also shrewd neutrals like Abate.

At this time, the dark clouds of the Ming army were still ten miles or ten days away, but the dark clouds in the hearts of the princes and dignitaries of the Later Jin Dynasty had already covered the sky and the sun.

"My lords, Li Yuanqing's coming is not a good one. Do you have any good plans?"

Huang Taiji calmly glanced at the people around him. His fat, round face made it difficult to see many fluctuations for a moment.

But who among the people around was the fool? They all lowered their gazes, not daring to look at Huang Taiji.
