Beiyang new warlord

The relationship between Dongjiang and Liaodong was not good in the first place. God knows if those old men will pay him his salary this time.

"Brother, are you sure you don't bring these soldiers?"

After all, it was still a military area, and the order was like a mountain. The order to assemble that night was delivered, and at noon the next day, the leaders of each army led their troops to Iron Mountain one after another. However, Mao Jue's order made all the generals stunned.

Except for the pro-army and the same amount of soldiers, the remaining soldiers and horses are all disbanded!

what does that mean?Xi Daying has 5000 troops, and Mao Youde and Mao Zhongming's personal soldiers add up to less than 1000. Then the two of them can lead 2000 troops, but they are still good, such as the Zhao brothers, He Momo, Tian Tao The generals of such a local wealthy family are even more miserable. They mainly rely on the power of the clan. There are only fifty or sixty personal soldiers.

As for Mao Jue himself, he is the most proud. The previous group of [-] soldiers recruited another group of [-] when he helped Jin Zidian fight against the Japanese. Three thousand and two troops were dispatched this time.

This time, we are going to fight Jiannu. Every time we fight, Mao Wenlong goes all out, and even wants to bring the lame and blind with him. But this time with Mao Jue, the number of people has been reduced to such a small number. Mao Youde is a bit displeased. Adaptively, he pointed to the five or six thousand soldiers who were separated from the Tieshan camp and disbanded in a panic, and asked in amazement.

But listening to his question, Mao Jue rolled his eyes greatly.

"The 5000 men and horses, will you take the food and salary?"

Today, Tieyi's army is still in the semi-feudal era. Mao Jue's [-] soldiers are all mercenaries, and the remaining soldiers in the Western Camp are all left in the feudal era. It is a bit similar to today's Japanese daimyo and samurai The relationship between them is that in Tieshan Yizhou, Mao Jue, as the deputy general of Tieyi, distributed the land to the generals, and the generals distributed part of the land to the soldiers in their own names. The soldiers generally belonged to small landlords. There are also some tenants who farm for them. During the war, the feudal lords at each level will provide warriors, and the "big name" Mao Jue will provide money and grain, and the relationship of loyalty at all levels.

So Mao Jue decided how many troops to lead, and Mao Youde couldn't object. Mao Jue rolled his eyes, and he could only hug his fists resentfully, and go back to prepare.

The more soldiers and horses, the better. The war has not yet been fought. Mao Jue already knew that it was just a defeat. This time he went mainly because of the occasion. Dangerous, just run away, there are more than 1 troops, old and small, and it is a burden to bring too many. About [-] personal soldiers are the main combat force. As a logistics soldier, it is enough to carry the soldiers and their own rations. This can be regarded as the lightest and easiest to pack, and it is also convenient to retreat.

But even so, looking at these people under his command, Mao Jue still had a headache. There were more than 800 recruits in his [-]-person corps, and the training was only halfway through. At any rate, the equipment was uniform, and each of the [-] musketeers had a set Cotton armor, a flintlock gun, a bayonet, a base of [-] rounds of musket bullets, the cavalry sentry and the shield sentry are similar, especially the shield sentry, in addition to the knife, half of the waist now has a revolver, It looks like a regular army, but the assembled pro-army regiment is really a bit ugly, and it has everything.

Especially as a personal soldier, you have to go into battle at critical moments and follow the general to fight desperately. Most of the personal soldiers use cold weapons, or even weapons from the ruins, and the personal soldiers are responsible for their own equipment. Some are new and some are old. Some have no armor at all, and look like a guerrilla.

After reorganizing the troops at the Tieshan City military camp in the afternoon, after distributing the money and food for the Anjia, it was really a Virgo obsessive-compulsive disorder attack. Mao Jue gave an order and opened the arsenal.

The most difficult part of muskets these days is the barrel. Six to seven out of ten can be drilled, but with hydraulic machine tools, the success rate is over 90.00%. The rest is made by assembly line parts, which takes half a year. Well, Mao Jue is really rich in arms. If there is no market to develop, he really wants to sell arms to make a fortune.

Inside the wooden boxes, there are neat flintlock guns stacked in the straw. The dark barrels are covered with a layer of oil.

But what annoyed Mao Jue was that some people didn't appreciate his bleeding.

"In war, you have to fight with real swords and guns. I have been in the army for 20 years, and I have never seen anyone win with this fire stick!"

It should be the commander-in-chief of Geng Zhongming's army, who threw the flintlock gun issued to him on the ground in disdain, and yelled loudly at the fellow army who was hesitant with the flintlock gun next to him.

However, Mao Jue really agrees with what he said. Even during the American Civil War, the final solution to the war was the bayonet. They all said that the Qing Dynasty was ignorant and only relied on swords and spears. If the Qing army had the bravery and bloodiness of the founding of the country alright!

In the Battle of Baliqiao when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, the cavalry of the Qing army broke through the hollow phalanx of the British and French allied forces. In that battle, the Qing army killed more than 3000 people, while the British and French allied forces only killed twelve people.

There was also the battle of Pyongyang in the Sino-Japanese War of [-]-[-]. The Qing army endured several days of artillery bombardment by the Japanese army, but quickly collapsed after the Japanese bayonet saw red and white blades.

"General!"

The tone was not small, but he was still a junior officer after all, and he hadn't finished blowing his head. Seeing Mao Jue pacing over with his hands behind his back and his big military boots, the man couldn't help but get nervous, and turned around to give a military salute.

"Will make the gun not!"

"Back to the general, the young one lives by killing people and taking them into the army, how can he not use it, general, this fire stick"

Before he finished speaking, Mao Jue yanked the bayonet on the handle of the gun, stretched out his gloves to the barrel of the gun, turned around and stabbed with both hands, and with a click, the sharp triangular thorn pierced into half of the grass target used for training next to him. There are many, with sharp ends protruding through the grass.

To be honest, this hand is not bright in the eyes of those personal soldiers who have practiced spears and spears all their lives and have many fighting masters, but the efficacy of the bayonet is in the eyes of this fierce soldier.

"Can it be used in such a fucking way?"

It's quite a novelty, the stabber Qian Zong stepped forward and pulled out the bayonet, weighed the weight of the flintlock gun very expertly, unscrewed the half-meter-long bayonet, put it on again, Not only his other members of the pro-military team who had dismissed the firearm before, weighed the firearm in hand, their eyes became soft and eager to try.

Patting him on the shoulder, Mao Jue looked like General Patton with his hands behind his back and continued to patrol forward. With a bayonet to supplement the cold weapon fighting, most of the troops in the Western Camp and the Iron Mountain Tribe accepted the newly issued Weapons, but Mao Jue didn't expect that there would be thorns on armor.

The clean cotton armor was thrown to the ground, and a muscular, rather strong soldier man was showing the scars on his body while clasping his fists at Mao Jue from a long distance away.

"General! Little Zhao Tiehan, I will save you a pair of armor! I have been in the army for 20 years, and I rely on this courage. I never know how heavy armor is!"

These words are a little careless. They came from the mouth of Du Song, the commander-in-chief of Shanhaiguan who was famous in the northwest. He fought hundreds of battles with Hu people, big and small. For Grand Master Du, this soldier really doesn't seem to be from Liaodong, and he is showing off his courage to Mao Jue through the allusion of juniper.

However, his courage was still a little bit worse than Juniper's. Before this guy finished bragging, Mao Jue pulled out the left wheel of his right hand violently, and the crackling bullets shot directly at the soles of his feet.

Caught off guard, like a ballet dancer, the man staggered back and forth several steps like a little-footed old lady, and finally sat down on the ground in a sad stagger, with beads of cold sweat all over his shiny forehead.

A kicked to this guy's side, casually inserted the revolver into the gun clip on his belt, and Mao Jue flirtatiously gestured with his little finger.

"Zhao Tiehan, isn't he? This war, I specially approve, you stand in the back row!"

Amidst the laughing and laughing laughter of these soldiers, Zhao Tiehan's old face flushed, and he got into the crowd like fleeing for his life with the cotton jacket. From a long distance, he could still hear his yelling and cursing in anger.

But after these two actions, Mao Jue became acquainted with these soldiers and generals under other people's command, and a group of soldiers and scoundrels also developed a good impression and support for Mao Jue.

It's really called military orders like fire and military orders like mountains. On the first day of Mao Wenlong's order, Mao Jue completed the assembly. On the second day, the mighty Dongjiang fleet had already docked at the port of Tieshan. Jue can count as having a decent corps, the [-]th Tieyi with the strongest fighting force uniformly dressed in neat armor and leaning on the shoulders of the flintlock guns with bayonets, lined up in an orderly manner to board the ship.

As for the [-] guard soldiers who served as porters in the back, Mao Jue really didn't have the energy to manage them. Each of them had a single light sword and didn't bring a shield. They could wear whatever they liked. It seems a bit anticlimactic.

As for the Dongjiang flagship ship's bow, Mao Wenlong's old but stalwart and stiff body appeared there without any surprise. His old face showed a gloomy and worried look.

Chapter 114. Jinzhou Fengyan

Mao Wenlong has been on the road for stealing towers for a long time. In the early years, he was full of blood and bravery, and fought against Jiannu many times, but after leaving Zhenpi Island, the battles became bigger and fewer. Every time the imperial court dispatched troops, basically The first thing is that the corps pressed down to Lushunkou, which played a threatening and restraining effect on the line from Jinzhou Gaizhou to Hetuala. It is rare to put all the wealth and own money in a bloody showdown with Jiannu.

It seems that the hero is really late.

However, Mao Jue could only feel the pressure when he became the head of Tieshan Yizhou. In a clichéd sentence, he is not alone anymore. There are two girls around him who need to be responsible. Brother plus a little uncle, and thousands of loyal subordinates, tens of thousands of people's wealth and life, future and prosperity are all concerned about you. This kind of weight really makes people dare not be young and frivolous and passionate.

As frivolous as Emperor Sui Yang, he finally perished the country.

But it was precisely because of this that Mao Wenlong led the main force of Dongjiang to disembark when he arrived in Lushun. The Dongjiang Fleet with 86 warships and a large number of large and small functional ships also belonged to Mao Jue to command.

"Do not impulse!"

Every time it was Mao Jue who sent the boat, but this time the father and son were separated. The last battalion on this side went down the boat and landed, while Mao Wenlong on the other side was pressing heavily on Mao Jue's shoulder.

"Father, don't worry, the child knows! The battle of Daling River, I'm afraid"

Reaching out to stop Mao Jue's next words, Mao Wenlong nodded in satisfaction.

"Looking at the soldiers and horses you bring, the old man knows that you know it well, but what the old man said is that you are impulsive, and if you can't do anything, you leave the army and run away. I have been a father for so many years, and there have been several ups and downs. Soldiers and horses If you don’t have it, you can recruit again, but if you die, you will lose everything, you are the only child of our Mao family, you can’t die!”

"This, I know"

After hesitating for a while, Mao Jue's words were a bit off-putting. Indeed, he was quite afraid of death, but if Wen Meng and Adelena were thrown away and ran for their own lives, Mao Jue was not so cold-blooded.

Not to mention, Mo Ruo's father, who really knows his son, saw Mao Jue's perfunctory at a glance, but Mao Wenlong didn't say much, and pressed Mao Jue's shoulder again, showing a face full of relief.

"My son has indeed grown up! He has his own ideas! Although Yuan Manzi, what you did this time was too demented and dangerous! But at least you didn't cause any trouble, and Yuan Manzi is a good man after all. Let him It is indeed a pity to die like this!"

After sighing, Mao Wenlong smiled in relief.
