Changsheng Island was only a stone's throw away from the temporary camp, and when Chen Zhong's fleet had all set sail and disappeared from view, Li Yuanqing ordered the fleet to set sail and return to Changsheng Island. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The sea route of more than 20 miles is a tailwind, and it can be arrived in less than an hour, but the Changsheng Camp has to make some more detours to land from Nanxinkou, but even so, before noon, the fleet successfully arrived at Nanxinkou Wharf.

The Changsheng Island side had already received the news, and Shang Lao Liu and Ma Deqiang led a group of left-behind personnel who had been waiting on the dock for a long time.

After a simple greeting, let the housekeeper Ma Deqiang deal with a lot of chores, Li Yuanqing, Shang Lao Liu and a group of officers, personally transported the bodies of the dead soldiers off the ship, bowed deeply, and then, they will be buried in a centralized manner, Li Yuanqing is also ready to set up temples and tombstones for future generations to offer incense, and give these sons and daughters who died in the war due treatment.

After dealing with these, two hours had passed, and Li Yuanqing finally had time to let Shang Lao Liu accompany him to inspect the current situation of Changsheng Island after the storm.

Fortunately, the buildings in the town of Changsheng Island were built with this factor in mind, and the craftsmen on the island also had foresight, and when the storm came, Changsheng Island made a lot of preparations, although the storm was vicious, but it did not destroy the main body of the town of Changsheng Island, but a lot of wasteland that had just been reclaimed was definitely not saved.

The two of them, escorted by dozens of personal soldiers, walked around the wasteland near the town, and Li Yuanqing couldn't help but shake his head bitterly.

The storm caused the sea water to pour in, and at this time, there was obviously a lot of white sediment left on the land, Li Yuanqing poked a little with his finger, put it in his mouth and tasted it, it was bitter and salty, and the land itself had obviously undergone a qualitative change.

This is definitely no longer possible to grow food.

Even if it is re-cultivated, with these residues and planted food, I am afraid that the harvest will definitely not be good.

Shang Lao Liu said: "Yuanqing, the terrain here is low, and it is inevitable, let's go to the hillside over there to have a look, it is much better over there." ”

Li Yuanqing nodded, and came to the hillside with Shang Lao Liu, the situation is indeed better on the plain below, but there is still some salt.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.

The beach is good in all aspects, but the weather is not good.

This kind of big storm is really terrifying, and the sea water swept up by the strong wind can be lifted within a few miles inland, but fortunately no crops are planted at this time, otherwise, it will be even more distressed to death.

Fortunately, Changsheng Island is very large, and if you want to farm, you can only extend it further.

But at this time, the core of the island is on the side of Nanxinkou, and if you want to expand, it is imperative to set up small strongholds or small villages.

As a result, the original defense range of Changsheng Island will also have to be expanded, and a lot of manpower will be wasted.

There is no shortage of women Li Yuanqing, but the key is that there is too much shortage of young and strong people, this kind of purely hard work, women are congenitally inadequate, if they fall into any hunger and cold lesions, it will affect their fertility in the future, which will outweigh the losses.

After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuanqing suddenly said: "Brother Shang, you see, these lands, it's not good to grow crops, how about planting some vegetables?" Like cabbage, bitter herbs, etc.? ”

Shang Lao Liu couldn't help but be stunned, "Growing vegetables? Yuanqing, this, it's not impossible. It's just that these lands are good, just open a small garden to grow vegetables, so much good land, isn't it a waste? ”

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be overjoyed, but he really forgot about this stubble at first.

Wheat is tender and fragile, and needs to be cared for carefully, but this is full of wild herbs all over the mountains, and even after a big storm, they still grow well.

In this era, people's thinking is limited, and they instinctively think that good land can only grow crops, and it is a pity to grow vegetables, but they don't know that these wastelands are just idle in vain, and they don't need anything, which is the most wasteful.

During the Xiaoice River period, although there was famine and grain production was not high, Changsheng Island also had a unique geographical advantage.

Denglai can't buy grain and rice? It doesn't matter, go to Gangnam to buy it.

Gangnam can't buy it yet? Then go to Huguang.

Can't buy it in Huguang? Then go to the South Seas, to India, to the Arabian Sea.

As long as there is silver, and at the same time ensure the strength of the fleet, naturally there is no need to worry about not being able to buy grain and rice.

Moreover, Changsheng Island, including the entire Liaohai region, has very developed fishery resources, as long as there are people and boats, there are fishing grounds everywhere.

Around these wastelands, various pastures can also be built to raise chickens, ducks, cattle, pigs, and all kinds of output materials, all of which can be recycled.

Women can't do these heavy physical jobs, but there are not many problems with this kind of small work.

Li Yuanqing said this to Shang Lao Liu, Shang Lao Liu couldn't help but come back to his senses for a long time, and only after a long time did he say: "Yuan Qing, you, how did your brain grow?" If that's the case, I'm afraid we won't need much food and rice. ”

Li Yuanqing smiled, "That's right." Still, it's easier said than done. Brother Shang, you have to worry more about these things. ”

Shang Lao Liu nodded heavily, "Yuanqing, don't worry." I can't go to the battlefield, I can still do these things. ”

…………

Back at the official residence, Lotus Root brought a cup of tea, and before Li Yuanqing could take a sip, the voice of the pro-soldier came from outside, "Report~~, Phi Dao headquarters is urgent." ”

The affairs of Mao Wenlong's headquarters, how dare Li Yuanqing slack off? Hurriedly took the letterhead.

Looking at the date on it, it was issued yesterday, Li Yuanqing frowned slightly.

Because Zhang Pan returned to Lushun ahead of schedule, Mao Wenlong had already learned the results of the three divisions in southern Liaoning, and Mao Wenlong expressed his support and affirmation for this.

At the same time, Mao Wenlong also briefly described to Li Yuanqing the battle situation of the Dongjiang headquarters in these days.

As Li Yuanqing expected, the offensive of the headquarters in the Zhenjiang area was very smooth, and a lot of grain and rice were harvested.

Although Zhenjiang is located in a remote area, in fact, due to its unique geographical advantages, it is located in the lower reaches of the Yalu River, the land is fertile, the population is also very dense, it is a famous land of fish and rice in later generations, not only can grow wheat, but also rice.

Mao Wenlong naturally would not be like Li Yuanqing, and left a little bit for Yangguan Fort, relying on the deterrent power of the army, almost harvesting the wheat and rice near Zhenjiang.

The defenders of Zhenjiang were anxious, and they went out of the city several times to fight, but they all fell into the arms of Mao Wenlong, and they were wrapped in dumplings several times, and suffered heavy losses.

But then, more than a dozen bulls with white flags and yellow flags arrived, and the situation changed.

The two sides fought several times, each with a victory or defeat.

At this time, as the main forces of Houjin arrived one after another, Mao Wenlong did not dare to stay longer, and had already retreated to Tieshan, and the fleet had already arrived at the seashore, ready to retreat at any time.

Mao Wenlong hoped that after Li Yuanqing returned, he could go to Phi Dao to continue to discuss the next battle plan, and by the way, he would receive the rewards and materials allocated by the imperial court.

Li Yuanqing read the letter carefully several times, and then let out a long breath of turbidity.

Mao Wenlong is worthy of being a fortune teller, and after years of training at the grassroots level, Li Yuanqing is far inferior in terms of strategic vision and ruthless methods.

In this Zhenjiang offensive, the Dongjiang headquarters can be said to have gained a lot, at least, to survive this year's cold winter, there should not be too many major problems.

Coupled with the fact that the allocation of the imperial court is about to be in place, this can be regarded as a double insurance.

However, Li Yuanqing also had a deep worry in the depths of his heart, whether the smooth war would swell Mao Wenlong's confidence again, and he would have to use all kinds of military force......

You must know that you were able to take advantage of it before, it was because the main force of Houjin was not there, and now that the main force of Houjin has rushed to Liaodong, it is not so easy to entangle.

The battle of Fuzhou City has already made Li Yuanqing personally experience that in large-scale group operations, the terrifying deterrent power of cavalry, if this kind of separation and encirclement situation occurs again, the consequences are simply unimaginable.

The most important thing is that there is no accurate news here in Lushun, so it is really difficult to rest assured.

Rubbing his temples a little tiredly, Li Yuanqing picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and for a moment, his spirit couldn't help but perk.

The tea is tasteless at first, then very bitter, and then endlessly sweet and refreshing.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but smile and said to the lotus root on the side: "Lotus root, what is this tea called?" ”

Lotus Child's face flushed, "Back to the master, call, call ......"

The more she talked, the redder her face became, and finally lowered her head directly and didn't look at Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be speechless, "Isn't it just a tea?" What's there to be embarrassed about? Lotus root, tell the master quickly, otherwise, the master will have to serve the family law. ”

Li Yuanqing deliberately stretched out his big hand and looked at Lotus Root intimidatingly.

Lotus Child's pretty face couldn't help but be redder, ashamed and afraid, of course she knew what her master said about the family law...... Busy said: "Master, Mrs. said, this tea is called 'the most lovesick'." ”

"Huh?" Li Yuanqing couldn't help but be stunned, and was silent for a long time.

These women, following him, are really ......

Not only does he have to live on such a desert island, Li Yuanqing is busy with various affairs every day, and he has no time or heart to accompany them......

"Master, you, are you alright?"

Seeing that Li Yuanqing had lost his mind for a long time, Lotus Root was taken aback, and hurriedly trotted over and held Li Yuanqing's arm.

It's already the height of summer, Lotus Root is wearing very thin, only a linen short sleeve outside, a palm-wide light green belt around her waist, the lower body seems to be a long skirt, but two white calves are exposed, and a pair of cool linen shoes are worn on the feet, and the white and tender toes can be faintly seen.

The costumes of the Ming Dynasty have been quite developed, especially at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the budding of capitalism, the liberation of various trends of thought, and the clothing culture has also gone further.

Especially Qu Minqiu, who was born in a wealthy businessman's family.

At this time, although Lotus Root was only wearing clothes made of the simplest materials, this charm, this feeling, and this aesthetic form made Li Yuanqing's eyes light up.

Especially at this time, it was the height of summer, and the faint fragrance on the lotus root made Li Yuanqing's brain a little dizzy.

Seeing that Li Yuanqing didn't move for a long time, Lotus Root was frightened and hurriedly said, "Master, you, are you okay?" Me, I'll call a doctor. ”

Li Yuanqing grabbed her little hand, "Lotus, don't panic." It's fine. Just a little tired. Well. There is a bit of a headache. You rub it for you. ”

Seeing that Li Yuanqing opened his eyes with the same expression, Lotus Root relieved her heart, and hurriedly stood behind Li Yuanqing, gently rubbing Li Yuanqing's temples with her little hands.

Smelling the faint fragrance on her body and feeling her gentle little hands, Li Yuanqing's spirit also slowly relaxed.

The road ahead must be full of thorns and ravines.

Otherwise, in the last few decades of the Ming Dynasty, how many talented people and heroes, none of them could stand up and turn the tide of the Chinese nation?

The sages said, 'Time? Luck also? Fate? ’

At this time, Li Yuanqing had already occupied Changsheng Island, with 2,000 elite soldiers under his command, a population of more than 10,000, and a firm foothold in the three southern Liaoning tribes, and was relied on by Mao Wenlong as an arm, even if there was really an unpredictable storm, Li Yuanqing already had the strength to protect himself.

Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing's body almost completely relaxed, and his head fell directly into Lotus Root's arms.

Lotus also felt Li Yuanqing's relaxation, her little face was flushed, her body was a little tense, but her little hands worked harder......
