In the letter, Mao Wenlong pointed out that he had decided to send troops to Zhenjiangcheng in seven days, and asked Li Yuanqing, Chen Zhong, and Zhang Pan, the three departments of southern Liaoning, to respond as soon as possible to attract the Houjin army in western and southern Liaoning to stay behind and gain space for the headquarters.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong pointed out that the food and materials of the imperial court have already been raised, and it is not surprising that they will be able to reach the headquarters at the end of August or early September, and at that time, after the midsummer offensive is over, all the departments can be effectively replenished.

Li Yuanqing carefully read the letter twice and slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity.

In this era, due to the influence of the climate of the Xiaoice River, the ripening season of wheat is delayed by more than a month compared with the normal year, at this time, it is only the beginning of July, and after seven days, it is not yet early July, and the wheat is not yet ripe, which is the hottest time.

It is necessary to wait until the wheat is ripe, and it is close to the end of July, and this time, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no variables in the middle of the ten days.

But empathy, Li Yuanqing can also understand Mao Wenlong's hardships.

At this time, Mao Wenlong was thinking about these wheat, and these real slaves in Zhenjiang City were probably even more heartbroken.

When the Houjin army besieged Zhenjiang, it did not beat Mao Wenlong down, and it had already made a huge mistake, and the radicalization of Longchuan did not completely sting Mao Wenlong's main force, which left a huge hidden danger in the eastern Liaodong region.

If the wheat harvest is to be guaranteed to go smoothly, it is very likely that the Houjin army on the Zhenjiang side will rush to harvest it, even if the wheat is not yet ripe.

Mao Wenlong should be based on this, and he does not dare to continue to drag on, and wants to ensure the opportunity of the Dongjiang headquarters.

From a military point of view, this is indeed the best time to send troops.

Even if you don't bring grain and grass, as long as you can ensure the initiative of the Dongjiang headquarters, there will never be a shortage of food to eat.

However, in this era, nature is the worst enemy of mankind.

The capriciousness of the Xiaoice River, which is extremely cold in winter, is extremely hot at this time, extremely hot during the day and extremely cool at night, and the facilities of the Dongjiang River headquarters are not perfect, in case of plague or epidemic......

But Mao Wenlong has already made a decision, even if it is a sea of swords and fires, the Dongjiang headquarters will inevitably move forward, and Li Yuanqing's immortal camp naturally cannot be held back.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yuanqing sent a letter back to Mao Wenlong, explaining his worries that when troops are dispatched in the summer, hygiene must be ensured.

However, he is not good at traditional Chinese characters, and Li Yuanqing is not good at brushes, so this letter was dictated by him and completed by Qu Minqiu.

Li Yuanqing also realized a very important problem, and wanted to improve the discipline and integrity of the soldiers, and literacy was also a very important part.

Only with knowledge will people be in awe and will better understand what a group is.

But at this time, it is clear that there is not so much time.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Yuanqing asked Qu Minqiu to write a letter to Zhang Pan and Chen Zhong respectively, asking them what they thought about this midsummer offensive.

At this time, all three of them were promoted to guerrillas, and the strength of each unit was in their early 2,000s, and they already had the ability to fight alone.

The joint force of the three departments is indeed powerful, but the coordination work is also quite cumbersome, which is not necessarily a good thing for Li Yuanqing's 'floating' tactics.

But for this face, Li Yuanqing must give them two.

After writing the letter and handing it over to the herald to send away, Li Yuanqing did not have time to hide in Qu Minqiu to cool off, but quickly returned to the university field and personally guided the soldiers in drills.

Queue practice, in fact, is not coincidental, it is a criterion, practice more, practice hard, so that the orders of the officers form instinct in the soldiers.

At this time, the big frame of the Changsheng Battalion had been erected, and all the grassroots officers were basically veterans, although they were not perfect, but a complete set of command systems had been formed.

The 2,000 soldiers seem to be a lot, but in fact there are not many, and it only takes a few minutes to command with the flag language, and Li Yuanqing's order can be quickly conveyed to the grassroots officers, and then these grassroots officers can be conveyed to the soldiers.

The rest of the time is to run and line up.

Even if the sun is scorching, Li Yuanqing is the first soldier, and the officers of all departments are also fighting bravely, plus in terms of logistics, Shang Lao Liu has also increased the supply, and the soldiers have four meals a day, lunch and dinner have meat, and a large amount of mung bean soup is also provided every day.

As a result, even though the training was extremely hard, the morale of the children was very high, and heat stroke rarely occurred.

Slowly, the soldiers gradually began to get on the right track, although there was still some left and right, but at least they already knew to follow their officers, even if the listed formation was not so beautiful, but they already had a preliminary defensive capability, which also made Li Yuanqing very pleased.

Three days later, Chen Zhong took the lead in replying.

In the letter, he said that he was willing to cooperate with Li Yuanqing's offensive, but the new recruits in his headquarters had not yet taken shape, and the troops he could handle in this battle were still the veterans of less than 1,000 people before. At the same time, Chen Zhong also put forward his own ideas, he wanted to fight guerrillas on the east coast of southern Liaoning, not expecting much gain, but hoping to train new soldiers.

Although Chen Zhong said it very implicitly, Li Yuanqing understood what he meant.

The three departments of southern Liaoning are one, two people in a group, and one person is cool, what is this called?

Moreover, in this midsummer offensive, southern Liaoning was the auxiliary, and the headquarters was the core, and Chen Zhong probably also wanted to follow Mao Wenlong's example and harvest some wheat and replenish some supplies from the east coast of southern Liaoning.

In response to this, Li Yuanqing immediately replied to Chen Zhong, supporting Chen Zhong's idea, and at the same time suggesting that he should go out day and night, break the whole into pieces, and try not to have direct contact with the defenders, so as to obtain practical benefits.

And Zhang Pan's side, it took another day before he replied.

He said that he was also ready to fight guerrillas in southern Liaoning and harvest wheat, and would not fight with Jinzhou again.

This also made Li Yuanqing breathe a sigh of relief, to this extent, presumably, Zhang Pan also realized that the actual benefits are the most important.

Time flies, and soon, it will be the day when Mao Wenlong will send troops.

Although it did not reach a quarter of an hour required by Li Yuanqing, within 20 minutes, the 2,000 people marching quickly lined up and were basically completed.

This time, the Changsheng Battalion has already met the most basic conditions for fighting with Houjinye.

That night, without holding a swearing-in meeting, almost quietly, Li Yuanqing took more than 2,000 soldiers from the three divisions of the Changsheng Battalion, nearly 1,000 auxiliary soldiers and pirates, quietly boarded the ship, and sailed to the west coast of southern Liaoning.

…………

At night on the sea in July, the sea breeze is cool, blowing away the heat of the day, blowing on people's bodies, very comfortable.

Li Yuanqing stood at the bow of the boat, quietly looking at the land in southern Liaoning not far away.

Since the three departments of southern Liaoning took root here, and the southern part of Jinjin ordered the people to move deeper inland, at this time, many fertile fields not far from the sea are not golden wheat that is about to ripen, but patches of green and vigorous weeds.

If this place is still under the control of the Ming Dynasty, how can these lands be deserted?

Even if it doesn't produce much, it can at least feed a lot of people, how can it be like this?

Li Yuanqing let out a long breath of turbidity, in the hearts of the cabinet bosses, Fu Liao may be just a sentence, but for millions of Liao people, this means everything to them.

Guan Canghai came to Li Yuanqing's side at some point, and said with a smile: "General, what are you thinking?" ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "It's nothing." It's so late and you don't want to rest? Tomorrow, we have something important to do. ”

Guan Canghai smiled, but his face became solemn, "General, it's a pity that these lands are abandoned like this." These hateful Jiannu really deserve a thousand cuts. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "It's a pity that we can't recapture these lands yet." ”

Guan Canghai also fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

Li Yuanqing smiled and relaxed his tone, "Not now, but it doesn't mean that it won't work in the future." Canghai, what do you think about this midsummer offensive? ”

Guan Canghai thought for a moment and said, "General, although the main force of the old slave is advancing westward, the strength of the remaining Jiannu is still not to be underestimated. We still can't rush forward, we have to take advantage of our superiority at sea. ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, "Yes." We still can't seize the most critical initiative. At least, though, we still have the sea. Canghai, in the future, the navy is the top priority of the development of my Changsheng Battalion, and your burden is very heavy. ”

"Navy?"

Guan Canghai was stunned, "General, what is the navy?" ”

Only then did Li Yuanqing react and explained with a smile: "The navy is the sailor. However, it is more powerful than the sailor and can crisscross the sea. Not only the Liaohai, but also the sea and ocean outside. I hope that one day, the navy of my immortal camp can plant the Great Ming Dragon Flag in every corner of the world. ”

Guan Canghai is the younger brother of the Zheng family, although he doesn't have much culture, he has also seen the world, listening to Li Yuanqing's explanation, he also understood, and his eyes couldn't help but shine, "General, that feeling is good." If there really is such a day, I will have no regrets when I die. ”

…………

The next morning, the flotilla landed in a gentle bay.

Although the departure last night was urgent, in fact, the fleet did not go fast, and this place was only about 2 or 30 miles away from the north shore of Changsheng Island.

Due to the Houjin policy of banning the sea, at this time, the coastal areas of Liaodi were almost unpopulated, and most of the population was relocated inland.

Li Yuanqing also wanted to take this opportunity to exercise the troops' ability to march and integrate on land and adapt to the atmosphere of landing operations.

Although there were tides, the landing of the main force of the Changsheng Battalion was very smooth, and with the previous queue drill, the officers' control over the soldiers was raised to a higher level.

According to the previous battle plan, the Changsheng battalion must first find a landing site on the west coast of southern Liaoning, and then, by land, approach the direction of Fuzhou City, feint to attack Fuzhou City, and along the way, catch a chicken and a dog to subsidize the family.

However, this is the top secret of the Changsheng Battalion, and only Li Yuanqing has it, and Liu Dadou's scout team does not know the details.

The terrain of this bay is very good, very gentle, there is not much wind and waves, and the beach is very thick, which is very suitable for the construction of temporary camps and ports.

Li Yuanqing immediately ordered the soldiers to rest temporarily, the firefighters to bury the pot to cook, and ordered Xu Heizi's engineer team to prepare to start building a temporary wharf.

As the ancients said, only when you are prepared can you be safe.

Although the Changsheng Battalion was strong and the fleet was strong at this time, in fact, on land, the Changsheng Battalion was a complete rookie, without too many livestock, and could assist in transporting grain, grass and equipment, all relying on the soldiers to carry with them, but no one could guarantee that the war would continue smoothly in the future.

Therefore, the importance of the temporary pier is self-evident.

Only by maintaining contact with the fleet at all times, and by the fleet's continuous blood transfusion for the team, can the Changsheng Battalion be prepared, attack, retreat and escape.
