Chapter 414: Honeymoon on Pig Island
~~~~~~
In October, it's a little cooler, but at midday, the sun is excellent, especially on the spacious beach of Pig Island. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Li Yuanqing was shirtless, wearing only a large linen trousers, lying on a hemp rope hammock between two palm trees, and glanced at the surrounding scenery a little lazily.
On the beach not far away, Zhang Baozhu was taking two maids, barefoot, catching crabs and picking up shells on the beach, and the crisp laughter of the three women like silver bells came here from time to time.
The corners of Li Yuanqing's mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
It is said that women are made of water.
It has been more than ten days since she came to Pig Island, under Li Yuanqing's meticulous care, and under his meticulous cultivation like an old scalper, Zhang Baozhu's mood has become brighter and brighter, and a cheerful smile has appeared on her pretty face at any time, and the clouds of the past have begun to gradually dissipate.
However, although Li Yuanqing is on Pig Island, all the affairs of Changsheng Island, including the entire southern Liaoning, are running in an orderly manner.
Everything is under Li Yuanqing's control.
Liaoxi Mangui, Dongjiang Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and their silver, when Li Yuanqing first arrived on Pig Island, had already sent someone to send them over.
Not long ago, Li Yuanqing received a return gift from the brothers Mangui and Dongjiang.
Man Gui gave Li Yuanqing a white tiger skin, which he had just shot from the old forest of Dajian Mountain in western Liaoning not long ago.
Along with the white tiger skin, there is also its sturdy tiger whip.
Man Gui seems to be reckless on the surface, but his mind is extremely delicate.
These two things, if they are sent to the capital, it will be difficult to get ten thousand taels of silver.
Li Yuanqing was very satisfied with his gift, and immediately wrote a letter to express his gratitude.
On the side of Dongjiang Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan, the gifts are much inferior, they are all ordinary mountain goods, roe deer, yellow sheep and the like.
Compared with the more than 80,000 taels of silver that Li Yuanqing earned them, the value of these mountain goods is really not worth mentioning.
But Li Yuanqing knew very well that with the barrenness of the Dongjiang River at this time, these things were already the limit of Zhang Pan and Chen Jisheng.
Regarding this, Li Yuanqing naturally did not care about anything.
As the old saying goes, 'Eat bite by bite, and walk step by step'.
At this time, the pattern of the Dongjiang River was not natural, and Liaodong was by no means a barren land, but the most fertile Zhenjiang and Yizhou lines were always firmly occupied by the Houjin, and even if they had the heart, they were powerless.
Regarding the battle situation in Liaodong, Mao Wenlong began to plan and act in early August and September, but at this time, there was no good opportunity, and Mao Wenlong had not been rash and was always waiting for the opportunity.
Li Yuanqing also had to admire Mao Wenlong's patience, in this regard, he was really far behind Mao Wenlong.
To some extent, this is also the difference between a man in his prime and a man who is truly mature.
Compared with Mao Wenlong, the young and vigorous Li Yuanqing still seems a little too rigid.
But this time, Mao Wenlong is so cautious, which also makes Li Yuanqing more reassured, as long as Mao Wenlong doesn't make stupid moves, even if he is the main force of Houjin, there is absolutely no way to take him.
The overall situation of the entire Liaodi will be as stable as a mountain.
Li Yuanqing also sent Chen Zhong's silver over to Chen Zhong, but Chen Zhong is now inspecting military affairs in Fuzhou, and it should take some time for him to reply to the letter.
These days, Li Yuanqing has also been thinking about the future road, how he should go, how to protect himself in this big wave, and how to change the overall situation and be invincible.
After thinking about it for a long time, Li Yuanqing finally came up with an answer.
That's the four words------ 'Taoguang Yanghui'.
At this time, Li Yuanqing was already the chief military officer of Changsheng Island, the general of the auxiliary state, and in fact, the commander-in-chief of the war in southern Liaoning.
Among the generals in the entire Liaodi, his rank is only a little lower than Mao Wenlong, but his actual power is not inferior to Mao Wenlong.
From Shenyang City in the first year of the Apocalypse to the present, Li Yuanqingsheng captured Hu Erhan, He Heli, two of the five ministers of the Later Jin, and cut the royal family of Yehe's Burhanggu and sent him directly to the palace as a eunuch, and successfully recovered and held Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Lushun two guards and one city.
It can almost be said that this is the most prominent military exploit of the dynasty since the three major expeditions of Wanli, far surpassing Mao Wenlong's surprise attack on Zhenjiang that year.
However, for various reasons, Li Yuanqing did not receive balanced political treatment commensurate with his achievements.
Regarding this, Li Yuanqing was a little undeniable.
As the old saying goes, 'When the wood is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it'.
The gun shoots the first bird.
To a large extent, even if Li Yuanqing did not get his due merits and status, it was like this, which has made many people blush.
In particular, Ye Xianggao, the head of the pavilion, asked about the court that day, I am afraid that more and more ministers will focus their attention on him Li Yuanqing.
At this stage, this is something that Li Yuanqing is not willing to face.
At the beginning, the reason why he rejected Sun Chengzong's love, stayed away from Liaoxi, and stayed on Changsheng Island was that Li Yuanqing was unwilling to be too deeply entangled with the literati group in Liaoxi.
Although there are eunuchs on Changsheng Island, they are only eunuchs.
A lot of things, a lot of things, silver can solve most of them.
Coupled with Li Yuanqing's holy family, his relationship with Wei's father-in-law, and his relationship with the Hakka family, it is difficult for the eunuch prison army to form too strong a binding force on him.
But if he is targeted by the ministers......
Even if the eggs don't have a seam, sooner or later they will warp out.
Especially at this time, the matter between Zhang Baozhu and the Rainbow Girl, to a certain extent, has caused some kind of rift between Li Yuanqing and the little emperor of the Apocalypse.
Although this may seem slight, it is by no means good news for Li Yuanqing.
Thinking about it, Li Yuanqing couldn't help but let out a long breath of turbidity.
According to the course of history, Father-in-law Wei will be in full swing, and there are only a few days left before he is 'nine thousand years old'.
Moreover, the overall situation in Liaodi is in a stable state for the time being, and there is not much war.
If you only seek war merits and force yourself to open up wars, even if you can win, it is absolutely unwise.
In the final analysis, the Ming Dynasty is still in a stable state at this time, and the imperial court is still strongly controlling the overall situation, and it is far from the time when ambitions are revealed!
If you want to change the world, the first -----thing you need to change is yourself.
Although Changsheng Island is stable at this time, Li Yuanqing is very clear that all systems are not yet perfect, especially behind the rapid development, there are still all kinds of hidden contradictions.
Although Li Yuanqing has the foundation of a veteran and supports his shelf, if he wants to do better and completely twist Changsheng Island into a rope, he must balance the interests of all parties.
At this point, there is much, much more that he needs to do.
At this time, there is enough money in hand, and it is time to open up trade with Japan.
At this time, Zhang Baozhu was carrying a small bamboo basket in his hand, and the two maids were also one for each person, and walked towards Li Yuanqing with a smile.
Li Yuanqing hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Baozhu, how are you guys gaining?" ”
Zhang Baozhu smiled, "Look, Yuanqing, we picked up a lot of oysters today. We ate at noon. ”
Li Yuanqing hurriedly took the bamboo basket in Zhang Baozhu's hand and took a look, sure enough, there were a lot, heavy, afraid of no less than a dozen catties.
The same is true in the baskets of the two maids.
At this time, although the conditions in all aspects are primitive and simple, they also have one of the greatest benefits, the blue sea, has not been polluted by the rapid development of industry and commerce, like these things, can be eaten directly, as a good meal.
Li Yuanqing wanted to say that it was roasted and eaten, but after thinking about it for a while, he gave up this idea and said with a smile: "You guys work hard." I'll make the lunch. Hey. Try my craft. ”
Zhang Baozhu was in a very good mood, and said with a smile: "Yuanqing, I'll help you." ”
Li Yuanqing kissed her pretty face hard, and gently squeezed her little hand, "This job is very simple, Baozhu, you work hard today, just let me do it." You go and change your clothes first. Just wear the ones that were just sent from the island a few days ago. ”
Zhang Baozhu's face flushed, "Think beautifully." ”
As he spoke, he hurriedly broke free of Li Yuanqing's big hand, and said to the two maids with a smile: "Ping'er, Bi'er, let's go." ”
He walked to the grass hut under the tree.
I saw their shadows enter the house and couldn't see them anymore, Li Yuanqing retracted his gaze, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a smile.
Ping'er and Bi'er are the two most clever and innocent maids sent to Changsheng Island by the Fog and Rain Pavilion this time, and Li Yuanqing left these two lovely people to serve Zhang Baozhu.
After all, as Zhang Baozhu, how can he do everything himself?
Although Li Yuanqing can't give her the glory of the past, at least, in terms of life, it must not be much worse than before.
The buildings left by the original residents of Pig Island are all in the north of the island, and there is also a military fort of 100 households.
But by this time, nearly four years had passed, and all this had long been wasted.
Moreover, the terrain in the north is dangerous, the sun is too strong, and the use of defense is by no means conducive to viewing.
After Li Yuanqing came to Pig Island, he directly chose the east with the best beach and sunshine, and built a thatched house directly by the palm grove on the beach.
Just like the regulations of the Maldives tribal hotels in later generations, although the conditions here are a little simple, this pure natural atmosphere, this free and unrestrained atmosphere, makes Zhang Baozhu quite intoxicated.
Niu Gensheng and a hundred of his own soldiers were scattered around a mile away, and the four warships were also divided on both sides, firmly protecting this beach in the middle of the almost three or four miles in circumference, forming a vast private resort beach.
Originally, a few days ago, Li Yuanqing left a few firefighters here to help them cook, but later, Zhang Baozhu didn't even want the firefighters directly, and made them completely by himself.
For Zhang Baozhu's requirements, Li Yuanqing naturally met them unconditionally.
The beautiful scenery and beautiful women made Li Yuanqing's body and mind extremely happy and very satisfied.
Li Yuanqing is also planning in his heart, it is a pity that this place on Pig Island is wasted.
In other days, he built this place as his annex, and came to vacation in his spare time, which is definitely quite good.
It's just that at this stage, it's far from the time for pleasure.
Li Yuanqing could only give up the idea of building a large number of buildings here, but these thatched houses here, including the military fort in the north, Li Yuanqing was ready to start repairing and garrisoning the army.
On land, due to the disadvantage of congenital conditions, Li Yuanqing is not in a hurry to compete with the Houjin Lord, but at sea, all the layouts must be advanced.
The breath of the Age of Discovery has come to his face, how can Li Yuanqing let go of such a good opportunity?
What excites Li Yuanqing the most is that Zhang Yunniang and Qu Minqiu's side, women's underwear and short skirts, have already achieved results.
The preliminary samples have been sent to Pig Island in advance more than a dozen pieces.
Although Zhang Baozhu loves it very much and can't put it down, she is only willing to wear it in the house for Li Yuanqing to see.
If she was asked to wear a simple bikini and walk on this vast white sand, she would not live or die.
In desperation, Li Yuanqing had no choice but to give up.
But in my mind, I have thought about such a picture countless times, if his large group of wives and concubines can wear bikinis and walk on this wide white sand, what kind of wonderful scene should it be?
