Beiyang new warlord

"Thank you General!"

With a word of thanks, the cold heart of the army warmed up again, but many people gave up on the illusion of the imperial court. Today's Tieyi Army has changed a step further and has become a real Maojia army. .

As the sun set, the big guys held the money contentedly and disbanded. Although Jiannu won the battle, he was still severely injured. It was impossible to come to Yizhou for revenge in a short time. Mao Jue also generously gave money to those who participated in the war Ten taels of silver for the auxiliary army, and a fifteen-day holiday for the remaining 4000 non-commissioned officers, so that everyone can relax happily. If you have money, you will spend it!

However, it is estimated that the pro-corps can't rest anymore, Mao Jue's pro-corps has become a hot commodity, and the big girl and the young daughter-in-law struggled to marry into their family.

Su Yi's headache didn't end there. At the gate of the barracks, the young woman with three children knelt there and refused to get up. She said gratefully that when her two children grow up, they will also be sent to the pro-military regiment to give to Mao Jue. Desperately so.

On the other side, two brothers, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, swaggered to the restaurant with their money in their pockets. They followed them, and more than 200 Xidaying soldiers came.

Although Tieyi under Mao Jue is considered stable, there is still no guarantee that there will be no beggars, but beggars here must be at least over 50 years old, because all the activities of the younger ones are stuffed into various places to play their waste heat. Tie Yi, there is plenty of work for them.

It just so happened that there was an old man begging for food next to the restaurant. He was probably an old soldier and had a lame leg.

The smell of wine was in front of him, but Kong Youde suddenly stopped at the entrance of the restaurant, and took off the string of five hundred Wen coins that was casually hanging around his neck.

"Hey, I killed more than 20 Tartar soldiers, and the court rewarded me with five hundred coins. My life is really worth his mother's money."

Before he finished speaking, Kong Youde casually threw the string of money in front of the beggar, then walked into the restaurant arrogantly, slapped the 50 taels of silver on the counter and yelled loudly.

"I've booked this building tonight! Get out of here, shopkeeper! Good wine and good food!"

Kong Youde threw away the money rewarded by the court, and Geng Zhongming also threw it on the ground without looking at it, followed behind, and the murderous soldier also threw the string of money there in disdain, and at the corner, the beggar old man was still there After dozing off, he suddenly became agitated. In front of him, the strings of copper coins were piled up into a hill.

The imperial court rewarded the soldiers for their rewards, tonight, it made a beggar happy

Chapter 132. The Heart of Disobedience

As the setting sun slanted, a lucky boat was sailing staggeringly out to sea, and wisps of blue smoke could still be vaguely seen floating on the stern of the ship.

With Dongjiang Town's local specialty "Zhonghua" in his mouth, and a large bag of golden fungus under his armpit, the two imperial envoys who were enjoying their lives kept waving to the Mao family and his son who were so kind to them, but Mao Jue He didn't want to see the two of them anymore. Emperor Chongzhen rewarded him with 1000 taels of silver. According to the usual practice, it was only 400 taels in Mao Jue's hands. It cost more than 1000 taels to greet them these two days.

However, if the two of them were to help Mao Jue sell "Soft China" through the circle of friends in the capital, Mao Jue could still consider it if he couldn't help it.

Of course, it's not just Mao Jue who is here today, with arms folded, Mao Wenlong is also looking into the distance deeply.

"What on earth are you going to do?"

If you go with the flow, Mao Jue can take the 1 taels of silver. Even if it is better for the army under his command, Mao Jue can also distribute these rewards and burn buried silver by himself, but Mao Jue chose the most drastic method. A road, in front of tens of thousands of Tieshan Army Town, tore apart the ugly and decayed face of the imperial court.

His method was done thousands of years ago, that is, the Tian family of Qi State in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the famine years, the big fight lent money to the outside world, and the small fight took it back from the people, allowing the people to take advantage of it and gain people's hearts. The ending is familiar to everyone. Tian's relied on this popular support to eliminate the country, Gao, Yan and other powerful families in the Qi state.

Mao Jue did this, no wonder even Mao Wenlong, the father of his body, became suspicious.

"Father, I don't want to do anything, I just want to live!"

The image of a filial son that has always been performed, today Mao Jue has no intention of continuing to pretend, still staring at the distant ship without looking back, muttering this sentence.

It’s still the impression he got from the battle of Daling River City this time. He is obviously right. As long as the water is collected, the flooded Daling River will be replaced by autumn floods, and Huang Taiji will be destroyed in one fell swoop. The ending of the battle of Dalinghe would be rewritten. However, Zhang Chun, who represented the will of the court, did not allow it. The tens of thousands of troops, including Mao Jue's troops, were dragged into the abyss of death by him.

Mao Jue didn't want to repeat the same mistakes. Once the court issued such a death order again, he would definitely resist. However, although the Mao family ruled Dongjiang Town, although it could be regarded as half a warlord, the foundation of his rule still came from Emperor Chongzhen and the court. Since the appointment is not of one mind, Mao Jue will replace this ruling foundation.

In the past dynasties, there is another special term, the heart of disobedience!

But at least at this moment, Mao Jue really just wanted to live.

This answer did not satisfy Mao Wenlong. The wrinkles on his old face were condensed again. After a while, the old guy also took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and took a deep puff. It took a long time to exhale the smoke.

"I'm old, you can figure it out!"

With a cigarette in his mouth, Mao Wenlong led his horse and walked slowly towards Pidao City, followed by hundreds of soldiers and horses nearby, also withdrew their flags, and then retreated, but this time Mao Jue still didn't send him off, he was still in a daze Looking out to sea.

The weather is gradually getting colder, but this winter, Tieyi Town under Dongjiang Town is a bit warmer than last year. After the main crops are changed to corn and potatoes, they can be planted for another season after harvesting in June and July. The quality of the harvest was not good, but the villagers in Luoxun Tieyi still harvested one more season, twice a year. This is the first time in the northeast town for more than 2000 years.

After the grain harvested in previous years has been handed over to the army, they will not be able to eat the autumn harvest next year. They will have to starve for a month or two. Now that the army rations have been handed over for the first time, there is still more than a year's worth of grain in reserve. Regardless of coarse grains and fine grains, the common people feel at ease .

This winter, Mao Jue's second conscription also started. After all, this time he was almost in front of Huang Taiji. He Mao Jue had shown his face in front of the entire Eight Banners. The Yizhou exchange market with Hou Jin was also at the end of October after the end of the war. Stop, it's the market that Houjin withdrew from. God knows whether Houjin will make a big attack to retaliate next spring.

However, the main source of conscription this time is not the two prefectures of Tieyi. Even with the policy of elite soldiers, the main males and young people of the right age here are mainly in the army. Weapon mining, wine making, even if Mao Jue has [-] soldiers, so what?

Fortunately, there is a source of backup troops behind us, Dongjiang!

Phi Island and Yuncong Island, but there are more than [-] Liaodong refugees who fled overseas, and as the main agricultural base of the Dongjiang River, Yuncong Island is really too small. The population has increased in recent years, and many household registrations have no farmland. The stomachs of the whole family could not be filled, and the number of soldiers on Pidao was still limited, which resulted in a large number of idlers.

I have long heard that Mao Wenlong turned a blind eye to Mao Jue's overreaching in Tieyi when he was a soldier in Tieyi, so in the cold winter months, a boatload of silly young people who had just entered the society took a sea boat, Arriving at Iron Mountain across the sea, they started their three-month hell life as recruits.

Four years of busy and bloody Chongzhen passed like this.

The cold wind is bitter, even in February, the snow on the branches in the mountains still has not melted, and the folks still dare not go out without wearing big leather jackets, but in the Jialaoshan military camp, it is already a different scene.

"One minute on the battlefield, ten years of skill in battle! Swords have no eyes, arrows are ruthless, if you want to survive, let me practice it to death! Everything I do today is for your good! Hurry up!"

A military career makes one rough and heroic, and it is true. When we first met, Pang Dahai was a fat man who was smooth enough, more like a businessman than a general, but now, this puffy man is also very rough, showing coldness He was flushed, but his chest and stomach were already very large. Facing the cold wind, he yelled loudly.

In the snow, a group of [-] men were also shirtless, and their thin chicken-like bodies when they came from Yuncong Island also bulged at this time. The officer's orders, in groups of two and two, really seemed to be desperate. The first one took the turn of the opposite shoulder and fell hard on the snow. The whistles were exchanged, and the other also took this turn and fell on the snow.

The snow foam was smashed, and in the weather where the dripping water turned into ice, the school field was full of heat.

But here Mao Jue doesn't do anything to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers. Where is Zhuge Liang's biggest failure?Do everything by yourself! Even when he was prime minister in the Shu Kingdom, he personally took care of the trivial matter of soldiers being beaten with dozens of military sticks. As a result, he really didn’t cultivate any talents. After passing away, the Kingdom of Shu withered instantly, becoming the first country to perish in the Three Kingdoms.

It is indeed a good habit to boost morale by doing everything by yourself. Even Nurhachi always takes the lead when he raises troops, and he is the first to go all out on the front line.Management is a very cumbersome and difficult matter. If there is no one to help, one person will be exhausted, jealous like Zhu Yuanzhang, unwilling to relax even a little bit of power, even revoked the prime minister, one person overviews the power of the country, but later set up a cabinet , and overlooking the entire feudal society, the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty was still a political organization with relatively large powers, so what Mao Jue needed now was to cultivate the abilities of middle-level and low-level officers.

If every post commander and captain knows what he should do on the battlefield, such an army will be invincible!

Of course, being too cold was also a reason, so the military will training advocated by Mao Jue downstairs made ordinary soldiers shiver and shiver like dogs, while he himself comfortably sucked the caramel made from the newly harvested corn this year. Relying on the heated kang, watching the excitement through the glass windows on the second floor.

"General! Axie~"

He came in with a thick pile of copywriting, and before he could speak, Su Changmei sneezed, the kind that came out with snot and tears, Mao Jue turned around contemptuously, stretched out his hand to throw a pack of cigarettes past.

"Look at how promising you are, you are so fat, no one is half as cold-resistant as Lao Pang! Take it, don't embarrass me!"

"Oh, thank you General for watching!"

Mao Jue also sells special cigarettes here, obviously he doesn't smoke himself, but he wants the best in Tieshan. The shredded tobacco is roasted from the finest tobacco leaves, and the tobacco is mixed with money that was once trafficked from Jiangnan. Spice, his cigarettes are the best in Tieshan, so a large group of Tie Yijun who have become smokers will try their best to get a few boxes from him, the general.

Fatty Su immediately became an old chrysanthemum, and when he put it on the Mao Jue Kang, he couldn't wait to light one and smoke it first.

"General, the first batch of new soldiers at the ancient barracks has been trained, Shen Rong, please spare some time to preside over the leaving ceremony, my friend Echuan's fortress has been built, Luo Zhige please General, take the time to sacrifice to the city!"

Flipping through the roster submitted by Su Changmei, Mao Jue couldn't help squinting his eyes.

The battle of the Daling River made him see how small he was. Anyway, he still had a lot of gold in his pocket and enough food. This time, Mao Jue recruited more soldiers and horses, and entered from Yuncong Island and Phi Island one after another. More than 3000 soldiers.

800 people form a regiment, six musketeer sentries, two knife shield pistol sentries, one cavalry sentry and one artillery sentry. This organization has formed four regiments, and this war also made Mao Jue face up to the fact that he was dismissive before. The original Ming army was established, and Zhao Chengtian, Tao and He Momo were also included in his domain. The military salary was allocated from him, and the military rations were provided by his own army. The three towns of Tieshan will send out a regiment. Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming One person draws one regiment, plus the original veterans withdraw one regiment. After some expansion, Mao Jue's available troops reached eight regiments with 400 troops.
