At the end of the child's time, Xu Changqing left the Wu Mansion a little drunk.

Wu Sangui and Wu Sanmei have already prepared everything for Xu Changqing to stay overnight, including the selection of people to warm the bed.

But in the end, Xu Changqing still rejected the proposal of Wu Sangui's brother and sister.

Marrying with the Wu family is indeed Xu Changqing's choice, but it does not mean that Xu Changqing will be tied to the same boat with the Wu family.

The reason why he married the Wu family was more because of Wu Sanmei's sweet girl herself, not the power of the Wu family.

Xu Changqing chatted a lot with Wu Sangui tonight, and he really knew Wu Sangui more deeply.

Frankly speaking, Wu Sangui's own heritage and quality far surpass any of the many generals Xu Changqing has come into contact with at this time!

If other factors are discarded, purely specific to the military, Wu Sangui is definitely the dragon and phoenix among the dragons and phoenixes!

Therefore, tonight, Xu Changqing also focused on chatting with Wu Sangui about many core issues of guerrilla warfare.

At this time, Xu Changqing really disdains to hide his secrets in this regard!

The main reason is that the situation of Daming at this time is really a little terminally ill.

Although Liaodi has temporarily subsided, the Central Plains, Huguang, Sichuan, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others have become more and more active.

In later generations, people often said that Songjin was the death knell of the Ming Empire.

Because of the loss of the Battle of Songjin, the elite of the Ming army on the nine sides was basically destroyed, and there were no soldiers to fight the Tartars, let alone the exiled people's army.

But this statement is not true, or it is not accurate.

The Ming Dynasty is indeed terminally ill, and there are big problems with the army, but more problems are ......

It's the Son of Heaven, it's the court itself!

Countless gods in later generations reviewed, even after Songjin, if the center of the court made the right decision, the Ming Dynasty still had a lot of spare power.

At this time, with the existence of Xu Changqing, Daming was undefeated in Songjin, and the situation was much better than in history.

But Xu Changqing can't make decisions for the center after all, so he can only plan in advance.

The elite of the Guanning Army under Wu Sangui has the strength to fight guerrilla warfare with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and at this time, Wu Sangui's plate has only guerrilla warfare.

This can not only solve the dilemma of Liaodi, but also will make the elite under Wu Sangui more and more elite!

Because Wu Sangui is not short of money, food, and people!

As long as Wu Sangui can stabilize the situation in Liaodi, Daming's big plate can at least last for a while, which is also to give Xu Changqing more time for development.

And even if he really fights Wu Sangui later, Xu Changqing is not false at all.

Even if Wu Sangui is a dragon and phoenix among people, he is still limited by the times, as long as Xu Changqing is given some time, Xu Changqing has plenty of confidence that he can create an elite that will only be stronger than Guan Ning Iron Cavalry!

Not long after Xu Changqing left the Wu Mansion, Wu Sanmei chased after him and got into the carriage directly.

Then, while serving Xu Changqing to drink some of the decanting soup she had just brought, she pouted and said extremely unpleasantly: "After drinking so much, you have to be strong." My second brother was drunk. How much did you two drink? It's the first time I've seen my second brother get drunk. ”

Xu Changqing didn't seem to be able to talk much at this time, and enjoyed Wu Sanmei's service comfortably.

……

Because the big framework was set, the next few days were quite calm.

Xu Changqing took Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei back and forth on Hope Island and Shark Island several times, improving the framework system of the two big islands.

In this state now, Xu Changqing only needs to provide three or four thousand catties of grain every day, which can maintain the rhythm of the entire market and 30,000 people.

Whether it is Hope Island, Shark Island, and Pig's Trotter Island, the current fishing volume is steadily increasing.

Moreover, Uncle Zhong, Uncle Guang, and Uncle Hong are studying the use of the fleet to go out to sea to fish, once there is a harvest in this regard, Xu Changqing's burden will be lighter.

However, three or four thousand catties of grain a day is by no means a small amount, although Xu Changqing still has a lot of savings at this time, but there is no living water in the account.

This also made Xu Changqing extremely excited, and the court hurriedly sent news about the withdrawal of the army.

If you don't retreat, no one will be able to leave.

Fortunately, with Wang Chengen here, this efficiency has improved a lot.

……

In the fourteenth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, on the fourth day of the first month of September, early in the morning, the ministries finally waited for the long-awaited good news!

The holy decree has arrived, and all departments are ordered to withdraw their troops as soon as possible!

Wu Sangui has taken over the market, and the main force of the Qing army has already passed through the Liao River and the Sancha River at this time, and the time is ripe for retreat.

Suddenly, the entire Ming army camp was full of joy.

I've been here for almost half a year, and I'm finally able to go home.

Xu Changqing is also extremely excited, according to the current situation, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, Xu Changqing can return first, return to his hometown in Jizhen, and discuss the future plan with his mother.

Before, Xu Changqing originally planned to go to the front line of the Liao River and the Sancha River, and took advantage of the freezing period to get the Qing army to do a few more votes.

But with the current state of affairs, it's a bit out of place......

Most of those people were under the rule of Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, Liu Zhaoji, Ma Ke and others, and the relationship was complicated, as if they were not good soldiers.

……

On the fifth day of the first month of September, under the personal comfort of Wang Chengen, the Shanhaiguan Horse Department took the lead in withdrawing from the army, which opened the tide of retreat.

On the fifth day of the ninth month, Ma Ke, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, including Cao Bianjiao, Wang Pu, Yang Guozhu, and Li Fuming, all began to retreat first.

Xu Changqing also wanted to quit the army.

It's a pity that the strength doesn't allow it.

Fortunately, Xu Changqing had already communicated with Wang Chengen and Hong Chengchou, built a fort in the seaside camp on the east line of Ningyuan, and then evacuated after the reward was confirmed.

On the sixth day of the ninth month, the overall affairs of Liaodi were handed over to Uncle Zhong to co-ordinate, assisted by Ma Luan, Zhang Hongqiang, Mei Yan, including Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, Zhao Qiliang, Wang Hongyang and others.

Xu Changqing took Li Youwei, Wu Sanmei, including Zhao Zengjin, Ergou, Wang Anshan, Mao Qun, Mao Tiehammer, Xiucai, Miss Xu and other more than 500 relatives, carrying more than 800 war horses, Hao Hao Tangtang to the direction of Shanhaiguan, preparing to return to Jizhen's hometown first.

At this time, although the specific reward has not yet been decided, the imperial court has already given the time, which is about the beginning of October, or around the middle of October.

After all, after fighting the war for so long, there must be many follow-up matters that need to be coordinated.

Moreover, everyone has a family, and they always have to go back to accompany their parents, wives and children.

Out of Ningyuan City, you can see pieces of evacuation teams everywhere.

Because of the congenital disadvantage, there are too few war horses in the Ming army, and there are only a few horses.

Even if Xu Changqing desperately hugged him in his arms, Wu Sangui, Wang Tingchen, Yang Guozhu and others gave Xu Changqing some horses, but they only made up eight hundred.

However, when he arrived at Shanhaiguan, Li Shizhong, who was the old Taishan, would definitely not be able to stop bleeding, and add a leader to Xu Changqing and put the eight hundred together, it should not be a big problem.

At this point, there is one more thing that must be explained.

That is a Datong room maid beside Wu Sanmei, who is the one who was prepared by the Wu family to warm the bed for Xu Changqing before, and was also brought to Xu Changqing.

This maid is called Xuan'er, who is seventeen years old, almost eighteen years old.

She was originally not a maid of the Wu family, but the daughter of an important domestic slave of the Wu family, who was raised by the Wu family almost as a young lady, and was ready to marry a powerful general in the future to expand her connections for the Wu family.

However!

Xu Changqing's speed of take-off was too fast, and there were Li Youwei and the Li family competing next to him, and Wu Sangui and the Wu family were also bleeding.

Xian'er is not only tall, but also has a beautiful appearance, her skin is snow-white, and her figure is even more graceful.

Although her father is a henchman of the Wu family, he is a proper Jiangnan native, a young family in Suzhou.

Even though she grew up in Liaodi, because of her mother's careful care, she was full of the charm of the Jiangnan water town.

At this time, not only did Xian'er come over, but her mother, a Suzhou woman who had just turned 35 years old, also came with her.

Of course, the Wu family will definitely not be untargeted.

Xuan'er will become Xu Changqing's third lady later.

Although this made Xu Changqing very proper, Mougins got another beautiful woman into the house, and he was like a sister to the little mother-in-law...

But Li Youwei's mood is a little unbeautiful......

This girl didn't say anything all the way, but her pretty face returned to her previous coldness......

Because there are many young dependents in the team, Xu Changqing also specially bought a few comfortable carriages for the female dependents to ride.

This makes it impossible for the speed of the team to be faster.

However, Xu Changqing was not in a hurry, at this time he had already sent someone back to Santun Camp Xujiazhuang to deliver the message, and it would be good to let his mother prepare more.

Triumphant return.

Everyone was in a good mood, full of joy and laughter.

Pity.

The surrounding scenery was a little wounded, except for the retreating troops, more of it was bleak, desolate, and ash.

These Tartars are really people who don't do anything, and they are almost the same as the little devils back then, and they are completely the 'three-light policy'.

Fortunately, at this time, the dog's day is finally gone.

In the evening, the team successfully arrived at the first transit point of the trip, Snake Mountain Fort.

Although the Snake Mountain Fort is located by the sea, the terrain is also quite steep, however, this battle still did not escape the poisonous hands of the Tartars, the fort collapsed a large area, everywhere is the traces of smoke and fire, there is no sign of human population.

Luckily, there are a lot of good beaches here.

As the camp settled down on the snow-white sand, everyone's mood gradually brightened.

Originally, Xu Changqing wanted to come by sea, after all, the sailors of the fleet had already been frightened by Xu Changqing, and they were eager to work for Xu Changqing.

It's a pity that mooring is a big problem, Xu Changqing is still too few people and his foundation is too shallow.

Moreover, if the fleet stays on Ningyuan's side, it will have a better response in case of an accident.

After eating dinner lively, Xu Changqing's heart began to burn uncontrollably.

At this time, Xian'er is already Xu Changqing's legitimate private property, and Wu Sanmei has agreed, if she doesn't take it at this time, when will she wait?

But Xu Changqing just wanted to go to the tent of Xian'er's mother and daughter, have a good chat with them, and let them feel at ease, but Li Youwei quietly appeared in front of Xu Changqing's eyes like a ghost, and looked at Xu Changqing with great resentment.

"......"

Xu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly came to the girl, "Youwei, what's wrong?" ”

Li Youwei's beautiful eyes turned red all of a sudden, but she ignored Xu Changqing and turned her head to leave.

Xu Changqing was a little speechless.

This is special, I usually watch Li Youwei and Wu Sanmei tear apart, Xu Changqing actually enjoys it, but at this time, this ......

Xu Changqing was really a little dumb for a while, and he couldn't tell if he was bitter.

But at this time, it is definitely necessary to appease Li Youwei first.

Quickly caught up with Li Youwei, Li Youwei had already run out of the camp for a few hundred meters, Xu Changqing could only pull her to sit down here, and waved her hand to let Zhao Zengjin and the others, who were in a hurry to follow, retreat.

After a lot of effort and coaxing, Li Youwei's mood improved, and she bit her red lip vigorously and said, "Brother Xu, you, are you ...... Youwei can, Youwei is willing to help you do anything! ”

Looking at Li Youwei's determined eyes, Xu Changqing suddenly had five big heads.

I can only explain to Li Youwei carefully that she is still too young, and it is not good for her health too early.

But Li Youwei's pretty face suddenly turned red, and then she bit Xu Changqing's ear and whispered a few words......

"This ......"

Instantly, Xu Changqing was embarrassed, and said speechlessly: "Youwei, you, who are you listening to?" ”

Li Youwei's pretty face was as red as a red apple, but she was a little proud, "Brother Xu, don't you know, we Han people have an old saying, if people don't know, unless you don't do it?" ”
