Chapter 7 Meeting Duke Li Laiheng for the first time
Huang Li's requirements can't be too high. It's good if he can live longer. The key is that he doesn't have to live in an ignoble way or hide in Tibet.
"If it doesn't work, think of another way." Huang Li smiled bitterly and shook his head. He couldn't imagine what it would be like to have a money rat tail, kneel down and kowtow at every turn, and struggle in the whirlpool of violence and death.
There is no Huangshi, no Chen Xin, and no Deng Xianggu. The only one who is qualified to create miracles is himself, a time traveler.
But you can do it yourself, well, how can a man say no?
Huang Li scratched his head. In fact, he didn't have much confidence. He didn't bring a warehouse, there was no space, and he didn't even have a weapon from later generations...
How useful can a half-minute life simulation be?
Suddenly there were footsteps outside. Huang Li quickly put away the map, stood up and walked to the door.
"Is Mr. Huang here?" Li Yue's voice sounded outside the door.
While Huang Li agreed, he opened the door and extended his hand to say, "Young Master, please come in quickly."
Li Yue walked into the room and said with a smile: "You didn't disturb Mr. Huang's rest, did you?"
Huang Li hurriedly said: "My body has recovered and I am sitting in the room in a daze!"
Li Yue nodded and said: "It's just right. I was ordered by my father to invite Mr. Huang to come and talk."
"The Duke wants to see me?" Huang Li was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Young Master can just send someone to notify you, so why bother coming in person? I will go to see the Duke right now."

Huang Li did some homework in advance and was indeed waiting to meet Duke Linguo Li Laiheng.
If you want to create miracles, you must have strength. If you don't have strength, you have to rely on external forces. Otherwise, no matter how careful and meticulous you think, no matter how surprising you are, it will be in vain if no one listens.
Therefore, the key lies in Li Laiheng's attitude, whether he can let Huang Li make suggestions and whether he can obey his words.
If Li Laiheng still follows the historical trajectory, then Huang Li can only take the best option.
Well, it was too late to leave, so Huang Lide ran away quickly.
In his random thoughts just now, Huang Li also found other paths for himself. Whether he can succeed or not depends on taking one step at a time.
There was nothing to deal with, so Huang Li followed Li Yue to the main village.
Huang Li, who loves travel and outdoor adventure sports, actually visited Maolu Mountain in later generations and visited the ruins of Li Laiheng's anti-Qing Dynasty.
Although it is a ruin, most of it is relatively well preserved, and the ancient roads and bridges are still in use in later generations. The intact buildings that Huang Li sees now have been razed to the ground in later generations, leaving only the roof foundations, bricks, and tiles.<

"Baiyangzhai is surrounded by mountains. The situation is dangerous and easy to defend but difficult to attack." Li Yue proudly served as Huang Li's guide. "There are enough camps for more than 30,000 troops to garrison at the foot of Baiyangzhai Village."
Baiyangzhai is located in Maolu Mountain, formerly known as Wangdianping. In addition to stationing soldiers, it is also a camp for farming. Li Laiheng established a solemn commander's residence here.
Huang Li tilted his head slightly, but he didn't feel relieved.
The more dangerous the situation, the more likely it was that Li Laiheng's troops chose to hold on. In the end, they were trapped in a desperate situation, unable to fight, food and supplies were exhausted, and the military morale was in chaos, and the only way out was destruction.
How much output can be produced by farming in mountainous areas and the land is barren? Besides, if we only eat food, what about salt? There are also gunpowder, arrows, etc. for fighting.
"My father also built the Holy Emperor's Palace." Li Yue pointed and said, "Mr. Huang, please look, there is the stele of the Holy Emperor's Palace."
The Holy Emperor's Palace was built for Emperor Guan Gong. The stone tablet is erected in front of the Guandi Temple on the top of Baiyangzhai Mountain. It is 4.8 meters high and nearly 1 meter wide. It has the words "Holy Emperor's Palace Stele" on the forehead and a rectangular base at the bottom. It is tall and straight.
, extremely eye-catching.
Huang Li nodded repeatedly and praised him endlessly. In fact, he didn't have any objections to Brother Guan, but he felt that it would be better to worship Grandpa Yue.
Li Yue led Huang Li and quickly arrived at the commander's mansion. Without any notification from the soldiers, the two of them walked directly into the mansion and arrived at the reception hall.
After asking the soldiers outside, Li Yue went in first and announced. Soon he came out and led Huang Li into the hall, where Duke Linguo Li Laiheng was already sitting on the main seat waiting for him.
"Huang Li, I'm here to pay my respects to the Duke of the Kingdom." Huang Li bowed and saluted, which was a bit nondescript, and there was something wrong with his title.
But Li Laiheng seemed very generous and didn't care. He smiled and stretched out his hand to signal, "Mr. Huang, please sit down."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Li bowed and saluted again before sitting down on the chair next to him.
Li Laiheng had a friendly smile on his face, showing concern at first, or a few polite words.
Huang Li was a little nervous, but he forced himself to calm down and briefly recounted the experience he had made up.
Li Laiheng smiled and raised his eyebrows, then suddenly changed the topic and asked: "Mr. Huang has traveled overseas and is well-informed. Now that the Manchu and Qing troops are pressing on the country, the situation is very critical. Does Mr. Huang have any good advice to teach me?"
"The Duke has experienced hundreds of battles and is proficient in military tactics. How dare I try to do whatever I want to do?"
Huang Li was humble or complimented Li Laiheng at first, and then continued: "In my humble opinion, now is the time to fight to the death. Only by taking the initiative to fight back can we have a chance of survival."
Li Laiheng nodded, this suggestion is not new.
The Thirteen Families also did the same, but with one victory and one defeat on the east and west fronts, the passive situation has not been reversed. But if you want to gather the strength of all the families to launch a large-scale counterattack, you will face great difficulties.

Li Laiheng didn't want to talk about the discord between the families and fighting on their own, but instead asked: "In Mr. Huang's opinion, who should be elected to fight back against the enemy?"
Huang Li pondered for a moment and said with some embarrassment: "I just listened to the young master's story. I don't know much about the current military situation, so it's not good for me to talk casually."
"This is easy." Li Laiheng stood up with a smile and led Huang Li to the side hall. He pointed on the map on the table and introduced Huang Li to the military situation.
Huang Li listened carefully, verified it with the information in his memory, and gained a more accurate understanding of the current situation between the enemy and ourselves.
Dong Xueli, the admiral of Huguang, commanded 30,000 troops to advance from Huguang; Wang Yizheng, the admiral of Shaanxi, commanded 25,000 troops; and Bao Zhao, the commander-in-chief of Hebei Town in Henan Province, commanded 5,000 troops, making up 30,000 to advance from Shaanxi;
In addition to the admiral Zheng Jiaolin and the Chongkui, Jianchang, Zunyi, Yongning and other land-defending divisions, Li Guoying, the governor of Sichuan, also had the naval divisions of Tan Yi and Tan Hong who had surrendered to the Qing Dynasty and were familiar with the situation in the Three Gorges. The troops were quite strong.
"The Huguang Qing army on the eastern front was defeated by our army, and there were about 15,000 or 6,000 troops left, huddled in Yiling (today's Yichang City, Hubei Province)."
"Li Guoying's headquarters on the western front is in Wushan, with both navy and land divisions, and is very powerful; Wang Yizheng's headquarters on the northern front is in Fangxian..."
