Chapter 59(1/2)
"Go, go!"
On the coastline southeast of Ningyuan City, more than a dozen strong war horses were running rapidly, bringing up rolling smoke and dust, like the son of the wind, heading straight to the direction of the Green Snake Forest.
At this time, because Xu Changqing broke through the Goryeo camp and captured Jin Zijian alive, the morale of the Ming army was greatly boosted. In addition, in the Denglai side, the huge grain and salary fleet was about to arrive. In just a few days, almost all the Qing army's rangers around Ningyuan City were driven away, especially in the southeastern area of Ningyuan City, there was almost no room for Qing army's rangers to survive.
But Xu Changqing became a little uncomfortable for a moment...
Xu Changqing, who was so powerful as the Ming army, was a little unconfident...
Because no one knows how long this strong energy lasts.
It is important to know that the premise of maintaining this strength is to extend the front line, which requires the soldiers of all departments to put in more energy and blood!
Perhaps, in this short few days of strength, the Ming army will have to pay dozens or even hundreds of lives.
By this time, Xu Changqing was already very clear about the nature of the Tartars. They probably already knew their identity now, so they might have some thoughts!
Therefore, the more this kind of joints, Xu Changqing will pay more attention to his own safety and will never give the dogs and Tartars a chance to attack!
The journey was quite smooth, and I didn't even see a shadow of Tartar.
Although this was a coincidence that stuck to the light on Denglai, it is undeniable that the flashing of Xu Changqing's wings of the tiny butterfly, many things are different.
Before he arrived at the Green Snake Forest, Xu Changqing saw that there were four tall warships at least ten meters long in the direction of Pigtrotter Island, which were parked in the direction of the dock.
There were many camps around the Green Snake Forest, and there were probably hundreds of people moving.
Seeing Xu Changqing and his group coming, the crowd suddenly became restless.
Soon, Xu Changqing saw Xu Zhong, Mao Qun, Mao Tiecheng, Douzi and others.
"Haha, Uncle Zhong, you are here! My nephew is really in a position to welcome you!"
Xu Changqing seemed to be drifting, rushed straight to the crowd, and froze directly, lifted the horse's hooves high, stopped the horse quickly, and then jumped off the horse casually, giving Uncle Zhong a bear hug!
If it were ordinary, Xu Changqing would definitely not be so rash, but at this time, Xu Changqing was really too excited and could not be added!
"Haha! Young Master, it's amazing! This has become a guerrilla general! Our Xu family has a queen, and a queen! Haha..."
Xu Zhong was in a good mood, and was infected by Xu Changqing's passion and vitality. He seemed to be a few years younger. He kept patting Xu Changqing's back with force, and there was a fog in his eyes.
Xu Zhong and the others arrived last night, but they couldn't enter the city. They had been waiting here for more than a night and had already learned about Xu Changqing's many melodious achievements.
At this moment, looking at Xu Changqing's bright red guerrilla robe and the bright red tassels, Xu Zhong couldn't control his emotions for a moment.
Of course he knew what the reason why his wife sent him here was!
While I was excited, I couldn't help but feel excited. Tianyou Xu family!
This is the ancestor who opened his eyes and wanted to give the Xu family a great future!
And Xu Zhong, who was lucky enough to join in at this time, how can he not be excited and how can he not be excited?
Xu Changqing and Xu Zhong hugged each other for a long time, and then they were separated. Xu Zhong couldn't help laughing: "Young master, come on, let me introduce you to you. These are the best gentlemen in our Xu family's business. This one is Ma Luan, Mr. Ma, this one is Zhang Hongqiang, Mr. Zhang, this one is..."
Xu Zhong introduced several great gentlemen from his hometown to Xu Changqing one by one, including Mr. Ma Luanma and Mr. Zhang Hongqiang and Mr. Zhang, both of whom were scholars. They were not only proficient in their business, but also had great literary talent.
Xu Changqing was also overjoyed: "Mr. Ma, Mr. Zhang, gentlemen, Changqing saluted everyone. The conditions here are simple, and everyone is a little aggrieved for a moment. I will ask someone to prepare lunch immediately."
As he said that, Xu Changqing hurriedly called Zhao Zengjin, Mao Qun, Douzi and others to work hard and complete the fish banquet.
Seeing Xu Changqing receiving them so enthusiastically and giving them enough face, these gentlemen who were not willing to come here and were quickly distracted along the way, and were in a state of great pleasure.
Who would have thought that their young master would only be in Liaodi for a short time
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Not only did he change his personality so well, but he also made such great achievements!
Eighteen-year-old guerrilla general, what does this mean?
It was a precedent for the dynasty!
They are all in their forties and fifties, and have long since become weak in their hearts of fame and fortune. After all, they have no strength and no energy to walk on this avenue.
But at this time, the young master emerged and was full of heroism, which undoubtedly provided them with a new platform to realize their ideals and ambitions.
…
After comforting these gentlemen, Xu Changqing winked at Xu Zhong. On the other side, Li Hongyun and his Li family had been waiting for a long time.
Although they arrived this morning, they were guests and distinguished guests, so they obviously cannot be neglected.
Xu Zhong certainly understood what Xu Changqing meant, and even came with Xu Changqing to welcome Li Hongyun and his Li family.
With Xu Zhong, an old man with rich experience and skillful methods, Xu Changqing is much more brisk in every aspect. After greetings, everyone sat up on a few smooth rocks by the beach, waiting for lunch, and then discussing the specific transaction.
Li Hongyun looked at the energetic dark young man in front of him. The bright red tassels on his helmet kept floating with the sea breeze, as delicate as blood, which made Li Hongyun feel indescribable.
Who would have thought that in just a few days, this black boy actually made such amazing super achievements!
The more you understand the military and the more you understand the situation, you will understand how difficult it is!
In the heart of the Tartars, and in such a precise, decisive and clear victory, let me ask, who can have such courage and such a means in the whole world?
Even though Li Hongyun had a high opinion of Xu Changqing at that time, he was a person whom the Li family could not offend even if they could not make friends with each other!
But at this time, when he really saw Xu Changqing again, Li Hongyun realized that he had underestimated the strength and determination of this energetic young man!
This kid is simply a hidden dragon!
Even for a moment, he gave birth to their lady and seemed to be following this kid.
However, Li Hongyun quickly came to his senses.
Even though Xu Changqing is excellent, he is a soldier and a son of a general. The risk factor is still too high. Compared with the crown prince who is well-off, there is no comparison at all.
After joking for a while, drinking some fragrant tea, Li Hongyun took the initiative to bring the topic to the point and said with a smile: "Master Xu, look, how about these ships?"
Xu Changqing had long been salivating at these ships, but he had suppressed himself. At this time, when he heard Li Hongyun mention it, he no longer concealed it and smiled: "Mr. Li is a heroic spirit. The ship in front is slightly smaller, but it is exquisite and thick. It should be our Ming Dynasty warship, right?"
Seeing Xu Changqing recognize him, Li Hongyun couldn't help but feel even more proud and smiled: "Mr. Li has a good vision. This is the medium-sized clutch that is currently in service in the Ming Dynasty. It can ride eighty or ninety people, and requires more than twenty sailors. Compared with the warships of the Thais in the south, it is not weaker. There are corners in the front, and the middle is thickened by fine iron sheets, among which..."
Li Hongyun also deliberately showed off and explained to Xu Changqing in detail the medium-sized Clipper.
In fact, after Li Hongyun returned to Shanhaiguan, he soon returned to Ningyuan because what Xu Changqing wanted was just a small thing for their Li family. However, he did not return to Ningyuan City, but stayed on Juehua Island.
The main reason is that Li Youwei, a lady from the Li family, said, hoping to help Xu Changqing.
After all, Li Youwei has been in Shark Island and Pigtrotter Island, and it has not been short. For more than ten days, she has already had a certain understanding of Xu Changqing and knows that Xu Changqing is a person who really wants to do things.
For people like Xu Changqing, even if the Li family cannot win over, it is absolutely wrong to have a good relationship with people.
Li Hongyun also wanted to build a warship, so that Xu Changqing could know the strength of their Li family, which could shock Xu Changqing.
But what Li Hongyun didn't expect was that he was talking to Juehua Island in a scheming manner about the acquisition of warships. Early yesterday morning, a close friend came to report that Xu Changqing captured Jin Zidian's brother Jin Zijian, who invaded the Ming Dynasty, and even beheaded hundreds of times!

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Li Hongyun's plan was directly disrupted.
Even though Fei Ge sent a letter to Shanhaiguan, the Shanhaiguan side responded quickly, allowing Li Hongyun to create the power of the Li family.
This caused Li Hongyun to spend a lot of money on Juehua Island, which was the only way to get such an active warship!
Of course, the warship has been around for decades at this time. If you want to truly sail far, you still need some fine rest and rest, but this is a small problem.
As for the other large ships, they are all ordinary sand ships, so they are not worth mentioning.
After hearing Li Hongyun's words, Xu Changqing was also very energetic.
Of course he understood that Li Hongyun was so arrogant.
After all, Xu Changqing, who came from later generations, understood very well that at this time, the warships and artillery of the Western foreign devils were already standard, and the battleships were all launched.
However, the Ming army's medium-sized clutch also has some advantages, such as navigation speed, carrying capacity and manned number, and some sail designs, which may be more advanced than those white-skinned foreigners.
Of course, this is mainly adapted to local conditions, including ocean currents, waves, climate and many other factors.
Xu Changqing remembers that at this time, the ship of the Zheng family, the richest man in the Ming Dynasty, was very sharp in the South Ocean, but it was a little bad in the North Ocean.
This is because the sea in the South Ocean is deep and the bottom of the ship is pointed, but on the Beiyang side, the clutches are all flatbeds.
Historically, the Guo family suffered a great loss during the war in the Yangtze River because of this.
But Li Hongyun was able to do this, which definitely showed great sincerity. Xu Changqing naturally understood this love!
"Master Li, let's not say much. Master Li, your heroism and the righteousness of the Li family, I, Xu Changqing, remember it in my heart! Master Li, at noon today, let's have a good drink, let's have a drink!"
"Haha! It's easy to say. It's my honor to drink with a young hero like Mr. Xu."
…
People lift people, the higher they lift.
Especially at this time, Xu Changqing's momentum had completely increased, almost becoming famous in Liao.
As various fresh sea fish dishes carefully cooked by several chefs were continuously served, Xu Changqing and Xu Zhong also opened their arms and started drinking with Li Hongyun boldly.
At this time, there was no threat from the Tartars, and everyone was in a very good mood, and they drank this wine very happily.
Xu Changqing was even more righteous and heroic. Li Hongyun, who was flattering, had a little softer bone.
