There is already a festive atmosphere in the village. Everyone has a smile on their face, greets each other, and walks to the threshing floor with pots and jars in hand.

In the threshing floor, several large pots are boiling. The wild boar meat has been chopped into pieces and is tumbling in the pot. The aroma of the meat is overflowing, making people's mouths full of food.

Two of Li Yue's soldiers and several common people were busy in front of the pot, serving broth to the common people and carrying two pieces of meat.

In Huang Li's residence, a fire was set up in the yard, and two cleaned pig legs and two pheasants were roasting on the fire. Oil kept dripping into the fire, filling the air with a special aroma.

"It's all thanks to Mr. Huang, everyone hasn't tasted meat for a long time!" Li Yue poured wine for Huang Li and said with a smile: "Everyone can drink meat soup, which is already rare.

It’s delicious.”

As the saying goes: those who rely on mountains eat mountains, and those who rely on water to eat water. However, mountain people may not have wild animals to eat, and those who fish are mostly poor families.

It's the same no matter what time or place. The rich can enjoy delicacies from mountains and seas without having to work hard; the poor people are tired all year round and can't even wrap their stomachs.

"Actually, the soup tastes quite good when you chew on the bones." Huang Li put away his emotion and directed Zhang Wudi to sprinkle the seasonings on the pork legs, while Zhao Xiaochuan skillfully turned the pork legs, and the aroma became richer and mouth-watering.

Li Yue laughed, and was about to ask Brother Zhang to go to the threshing floor to bring a can of broth and two meaty bones to Huang Li, when he saw a little head peeking in from the courtyard door.

"Little girl, come in and eat meat!" Huang Li also saw it and greeted with a smile.

Wei'er smiled shyly and walked into the yard a little shyly, carrying a bamboo basket in her hand. She mumbled to Huang Li and asked: "Huang, Mr. Huang, can mushrooms and bamboo shoots be roasted and eaten? I just picked them this morning.

, very fresh."

"Yes! Everything can be grilled, and everything in life can be fulfilled." Huang Li glanced at the basket and gave the answer happily, making the little girl smile happily and handed the basket over.

Huang Li reached out to take it and found that it had been cleaned and cleaned. He picked up a few bamboo sticks, skewered the mushrooms and bamboo shoots, and grilled them on the fire.

Wei'er turned around and wanted to leave, but her steps were very small. It wasn't until Huang Li came to ask, "Where are you going? Come and eat barbecue together" that she opened her mouth and a little cunning flashed in her eyes.

Huang Li pointed to the stool next to him with a smile, and Weier immediately sat down obediently, looking at the sizzling and oily pig legs eagerly, and swallowed involuntarily.

Huang Li was surprised to see such a scene in ancient times.

When the people saw Li Yue, the young prince, and the Ming army, not only were they not afraid, but they were very close to him. It was this kind of army that he wanted to help with all his strength.

Regardless of whether it was forced by the situation, to occupy this place for a long time, it is necessary to "control the people strictly and know how to love the people." Anyway, Huang Li saw the results, rather than delving into whether Li Laiheng had ulterior motives.

Strict discipline and not harming the people are far from being a people's army, but Huang Li is extremely pleased. Only such an armed force is the army he is willing to integrate into and to which he is willing to contribute all his talents.

According to historical data, Liu Tichun and other troops treated the people in the same way. Even after his death in battle, the local people were sad and shed tears.

Li Yue looked at the little girl, smiled, and continued chatting with Huang Li. Within a few words, he talked about the counterattack again.

"I'm not too worried about the Qing army in Sichuan. What I can worry about is the Qing army in Shaanxi and Henan in Fang County. If there is no containment, it is okay for all our troops to be dispatched."

Huang Li really didn't dare to send out all Li Laiheng's troops. Who can guarantee that after the Qing army gets the news, they won't take advantage of it and steal the house!

"With five or six thousand troops left behind, relying on the dangerous and favorable terrain, we should be able to withstand the Qing army's attack, right?"

Huang Li stretched out his position on Wufang Wangdianping and said: "The mountains are densely covered with forests and the situation is dangerous. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. In terms of defense, one can be worth ten."

Li Yue agreed with this, and was even a little proud, saying: "If it is defense, then of course it is. Trenches, plank roads, mountain roads, forts, etc. In addition, the mountains are dangerous and the roads are narrow and difficult to navigate, even if they are several times more difficult for the enemy.

Break through."

Sure enough, in history, Li Laiheng chose to stick to Maolu Mountain, which was indeed based on his trust. But he did not expect that the Qing army would not hesitate to spend extremely huge manpower and material resources to besiege it for more than half a year.

Huang Li pondered for a moment and reminded: "It's good to have danger to rely on. But without foreign aid, the weakness is also obvious, and that is to fall into complete passivity."

"What's more, food and supplies are also a problem, and it is difficult to withstand a long-term siege. If the Qing army picks up trenches, lines up stakes, and encircles them densely, they may not be able to ask for a battle, and they will be defeated without a fight."

Li Yue had not yet realized the danger of being besieged. When he thought about it, for more than 150 miles around Maolu Mountain, the Qing army had to dig trenches and line up stakes to block all exits. The amount of manpower and material resources consumed was unimaginable.

What's more, the Qing army also needs food and supplies. Tens of thousands of troops are in this remote and remote area, relying entirely on food transportation from other places. How long can they be besieged?

Of course he would not have thought that in order to wipe out the last Ming army on the mainland, the Qing army did not hesitate to destroy the people. They forced civilians to transport food and transported them back and forth. There were no less than millions of people, and countless people died as a result.

.

Seeing that Li Yue was a little disapproving, Huang Li stopped talking. After all, he was familiar with the historical trajectory and knew that the situation was critical, which was far beyond the expectations of the Ming army.

Following Huang Li's instructions, Zhao Xiaochuan took the roasted golden and fragrant pork leg, cut off the roasted meat with a knife, and put it on a large plate.

Huang Li and Li Yue ate meat and drank wine, feasting to their heart's content. They didn't forget the little girl, and gave her a small plate, but it contained a lot.

Wei'er was a little shy at first, but after taking two bites, her eyes lit up, her movements became faster, her little mouth chewed happily, and she was full of praises.

Li Yue laughed and liked the little girl too, and ordered Zhao Xiaochuan to give Wei'er the roast chicken as well.

"It's a pity that there are no drinks, and children can't drink." Huang Li smiled and said to Weier: "If you are thirsty, just drink tea."

The little girl stuffed her mouth with meat and shook her head vaguely to show that she was not thirsty.

"This is brewed by mountain people using wild fruits. It's not very strong." Li Yue reached for a small jar and poured a small bowl for Wei'er with a smile.

Huang Li shook his head. He drank a little of the wine. It was sour and sweet, and the alcohol was indeed not high. But even if it is beer, it is not suitable for children to drink!

After taking a sip of the so-called strong wine, well, it must be more than 30 degrees at most. Huang Li, who has tested alcohol, thinks the error is no more than five degrees.

"I'll leave the matter of collecting snake venom to my young master." Huang Li forked a piece of meat and reminded Li Yue while eating.
