Under the dim light in the room, Li Ying rested on Dong Wang's arm, looking at the man's resolute face. Until the sun cast a ray of sunlight on the corner of the curtain, Li> didn't make a sound. But Qin Mingtao finally woke up. The man blinked and looked at the sunlight under the curtains to confirm that it was already dawn.
Touching the woman's face, Qin Mingtao smiled and said, "You can sleep a little longer."
Li Ying¡¯s eyes turned red when she heard this, she hugged Qin Mingtao¡¯s arm that was about to pull out, and said aggrievedly, ¡°I don¡¯t want you to go!¡±
Qin Mingtao looked curiously at the woman who was about to cry and asked, "Why?"
Li> buried her head in Qin Mingtao's arms and murmured, "I'm scared." Li Ying, who was leaning against Qin Mingtao's chest, seemed to have thought of something. She raised her head expectantly and said quickly, "Maybe you can go fight in Shenyang. Don¡¯t go to Gyeonggi.¡±
Qin Mingtao touched his long hair and asked, "Why?"
Li Ying pouted and said quietly, "I heard Li Chengzong say that Huang Taiji is as scheming as Zhuge Liang. You are a straightforward person who never lies. You are so stupid. I'm afraid you will be fooled by him." Li > bit his lip. , and said naa na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na naa Ming army, there are so many Ming troops in Gyeonggi who may attack you at any time I¡¯m scared!!¡±
Qin Mingtao smiled, kissed the woman's blushing face, and comforted her gently, "Silly boy, there are more Tatars in Shenyang, and supplies are more difficult. Don't be afraid, this situation was promoted by us from beginning to end. Now is the time to harvest the fruits." Qin Mingtao scratched her beautiful eyebrows and said with a smile, "Wait until I get you a bunch of jewelry."
But Qin Mingtao's words did not bother the woman. Li Ying shook her head like a rattle and got into Qin Mingtao's arms again. Qin Mingtao pursed his lips helplessly and hugged Li>'s soft body. After a long while, I heard a voice as light as a mosquito coming from my arms,
"I'm pregnant."
Qin Ming was stunned. Then suddenly he reacted. In an instant. He only felt a burst of joy surge up from his Dantian like a warm current. Let the whole body be filled with incredible happiness. The dark world seemed to suddenly light up, and I suddenly found that the motivation in my whole body was suddenly turned on by these words. The whole body seemed to have endless energy.
Qin Mingtao blinked, his eyes already filled with smiles. He asked the woman with certainty.
"What?"
Li Ying was extremely angry at this question. She raised her head angrily. Tears were about to fall from his eyes. It wasn't until he saw the surprise on Qin Mingtao's face that he burst into laughter. But she just grinned slightly. Two tears were shaken out and entered the mouth that was murmuring coquettishly.
"She's pregnant. I'm afraid. Can you just let Zhao De and the others go there by themselves"
But the woman wasn¡¯t done yet. He was kissed by the ecstatic man. In ecstasy, Qin Mingtao suddenly pressed on the woman. Li> was elated to be kissed by a man. With a slight hum, the strong man pushed him down and lay helplessly on the bed.

"I guess it's a son"

In the strategy room, several senior officers confirmed various matters for the last time before setting off.
"Your Highness, from a military point of view, I think this expedition is inappropriate."
The person who spoke was one of the most daring people in Zhong Huijun¡¯s mansion to join the army. According to Qin Mingtao's idea, the Shenjun Mansion had both the functions of espionage and military staff. The first function was well managed by Li Jinxi and the second function. Although Li Jinxi also worked hard, most people in this era did not dare to give advice on tactics and strategies in front of Dong Wang.
But Zhong Hui dared to say that there was nothing that the scholar did not dare to say. He pointed to the Gyeonggi region on the sand table and said,
"The entire eastern coast is controlled by Houjin. On the seaside plain east of Gyeonggi, the Jurchens have very strong mobility. Under the threat of cavalry, our logistics supply line cannot be established. We have to carry a large amount of food and grass with the army, which Suppressing our mobility."
"Actually, from a military perspective, we won't gain much even if we defeat Houjin. Once the Jurchens retreat, the Ming army may even attack us directly."
Zhong Hui looked helplessly at the ambitious banner commanders who were preparing to go into battle and make meritorious deeds, and said, "During the deduction, the Army Joining Forces Office found that no matter what, the initiative in the war rests with the Houjin side. The complex logistics requirements make us ineffective on the battlefield. The mobility is very poor. We cannot control the rhythm of attack and defense at all, and it is easy to be surrounded by the enemy."
Zhong Hui shrugged and said helplessly, "My last suggestion before going out is to give up this attack far from the mainland."
Qin Mingtao nodded and said, "Indeed, from a military perspective, this expedition is risky, and the expected harvest does not seem to be rich."
Qin Mingtao leavesThe people were gathered in a corner in the west of the city, and groups of more than a dozen people were placed in the remaining houses. There were also people who chose to work as slaves for the Jurchens. Under the shouts of the Jurchen defenders, these laborers piled rolling stones, wood and other defensive equipment on the city wall in order to prepare for the sudden appearance of the Gaishui camp.
This is Funing County, the northeastern corner of Gyeonggi Province, which was occupied by Huang Taiji more than ten days ago.
"Join the army! What enemies are nearby?"
Zhong Hui ran over and loudly reported the scouts¡¯ reports and the results of the soldiers¡¯ calculations.
"One thousand people from Zhengbai Banner are coming from the north, approaching from Shanhaiguan. The general is unknown. They are expected to arrive at the battlefield in forty minutes. Six hundred people from Zhenglan Banner are coming from the southwest, approaching from Changli County. The general is unknown and is expected to arrive at the battlefield in an hour and a half"
After finishing the battlefield intelligence, Zhong Hui closed his wire-bound notebook and said loudly, "I suggest using artillery to destroy the enemy's fortifications, fire with indiscriminate coverage to force the enemy to attack our positions, and use superior firepower to reduce our casualties."
Qin Mingtao did not answer Zhong Hui. He looked at the Han people huddled in the corner of the city and shouted angrily,
"Chang Wenguang! The artillery opens fire and completely destroys the west gate of Funing County within ten minutes. The remaining troops fix their bayonets and prepare to charge."
"Within twenty minutes, take Funing County for me."
