Beiyang new warlord

Mao Jue opened his mouth wide and grinned like a male fox, because there was a guy with a darker complexion than the fish sitting opposite him.

"Master Li! I'm so busy with work, it's rare to spare some time to be on Mao's boat. It's a great honor! This is the fresh fish stewed by my wife, you must try it!"

Not to mention that the fish was chewed indiscriminately, even if it was really fresh fish, how could Li Shanhai have the heart to eat it now, his old face was flushed again, under Mao Juewenmeng's flustered grin, this fish He slapped his hand hard on the heavy oak table again.

General Mao, didn't your fleet defeat the main force of the Japanese pirates?Why are there still Japanese pirate ships peeping near Jeju waters?

"Destroy the main force of the pirates?"

When he said this, Mao Jue looked confused, and turned to look at Wen Meng.

"Old Wen, have you defeated the pirates?"

"No! General?"

Wen Meng also looked like Monk Zhang Er who couldn't figure it out, shaking his head in shock, and Kong Youde beside him kindly reminded him.

"General, we only received 200 taels of silver and chopped off more than 200 heads. How did we defeat the Japanese pirates?"

"Yes! Master Li, you can eat and talk nonsense! In black and white, it is your army that defeated the Japanese pirates. Our army is just a support. How can we defeat the main force of the Japanese pirates!"

Mao Jue was pretending to be stupid, and Li Shanhai was stunned when he heard it, so he couldn't recite it in one breath. What he said to Mao Jue at the beginning, fell back on himself in turn.

Knowing that there is no way to shirk responsibility with Mao Jue for this matter, this guy hummed bluntly with a dark face.

"General Mao, Japanese pirates have been found in the southwest of Jeju Island. Please quickly recall the Ming soldiers and help us eliminate the Japanese pirates!"

"this!"

Mao Jue, who was holding his hairless chin, suddenly became embarrassed. After a long time, Li Shanhai licked his teeth under Li Shanhai's anxious eyes.

"It's not easy! Mr. Li, you have finished the battle of the written text, and I will send this text back to the court. If I can't return to the station by the specified time, I will have to eat melons. If we send troops again, we have to go through the procedure, or you are writing to the court, and when the court approves it, I will immediately summon the army to help you defeat the enemy?"

I was so angry that my cheeks were twitching. The Ming court was kind and generous, and they turned their elbows outward, but they were also notoriously procrastinating. If they went to the capital, even if Emperor Chongzhen took the wrong medicine that day, they would approve the matter and return it back and forth. It took a month and a half, and at this time, the Japanese pirates had once again attacked Jeju Island, and by then, he would be out of luck!

The memorial to suppress the Japanese pirates and the captured flags and objects have been sent to Wangjing. At this time, there is another war in the west of the kingdom. Li Shanhai can even imagine the gloating faces of the Chinese and Western Party, the Bone North Party, and the Roubei Party. Facing the urge to beat Mao Jue violently, the old guy put his face down and begged for mercy with his fists in his hands.

"General Mao, His Majesty has a heart for all the people, and the lives of the people of Jeju are in danger. Please make an exception! After defeating the Japanese pirates, Li will go to the capital of the Ming Dynasty to continue his work for the general, okay? Just help me this time." !"

"Difficult!"

Mao Jue still had a bitter face, and spread his hands helplessly.

"It's not just the imperial court's reprimand, but now the army's heart is also longing to return! If you don't believe me, ask who! Is he still thinking about fighting?"

Mao Jue pointed to the door, and the soldier immediately followed suit with a sad face.

"General, I can't fight any longer! I only got a tael of silver after traveling thousands of miles. I can't even buy a bracelet for my wife when I go back. My wife has to ask with her small ears, where is the silver? It’s not like raising a vixen! The little one still has the heart to fight the Japanese pirates!”

This is like singing a big show, and now Li Shanhai fully understands that Mao Jue has left a hand waiting for him!What court rules, the key is two words.

Bad money!

Thinking of this, he raised five fingers in pain

Chapter 141. Mao Jue, Are You Crazy?

People are really cheap. When they dragged the big boat back and coaxed you, they used five for six. Come more.

A large cart was pulled to Songpu and sent to the supply team of the Ming army. The heavy birch box exuded a scent of trees. Revealed in front of several people.

Picking up an ingot casually, weighing it twice, Mao Jue reached out and threw it back.

It is said that it is easy to invite God but difficult to send God away, and it is the other way around here, it is easy to send God off and it is difficult to invite God! Hey! If you tell me to go away, I will go away, and if you want me to go back, I am sorry, go away! No Take out real money and want the Ming army to fight for you?Think beautifully!

I'm really ashamed to talk about money, even Li Shanhai didn't come over himself, and took a picture of a seventh-rank official, but even he seemed to be very tired, watching Mao Jue inspect the goods, and then pushed the silver box back, this Korean nobleman Said gloomyly.

"General Mao! A total of 8 taels of silver for military pay! You have checked it out! I will go back and report to you! My Master Li said that he is waiting for you in Jeju!"

During the Jeju naval battle, the Japanese pirates killed by Mao Jue were in the early 30s, and each head was 2 taels, which is almost [-] taels more. With money, it is easy to do things, even Mao Jue showed a smile, He smiled and waved his hand.

"This gentleman, it's easy to talk about it, please go back and tell Mr. Li that Mao will be there the next day!"

"That's very good, farewell!"

Hugging his fists with a sullen face, the Xiaoguan Cao also turned around and left. After watching him leave and looking at the boxes of silver, Wen Meng was so happy that he went up to give Mao Jue a big thumbs up.

"General! High!"

"Let Fatty Su scare me like this, that Li will obediently spit it out for us! Tsk tsk, 8 taels of silver! Should the treasury of Jeju City be emptied? You don't need our brothers to dirty our hands, and the general!" ! Really high!"

"Or, I'll send someone to call Fatty Su back, and let's go home!"

"What? Scared?"

Looking at the pile of boxes with folded arms, Mao Jue couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. Hearing this, Wen Meng was shocked, and quickly shook his head violently.

"General, look at what you said! There is a volcano in front of you. If you say jump, we will jump into it without blinking!"

"However, isn't it better to have one thing less than one thing more?"

Wenmeng's mind is clear to Mao Jue. Anyway, Lee's North Korea has already taken on this notoriety. The soldiers will all resent them if they don't get the silver. They don't need to pay the 8 taels. Mao Jue takes the big head and gets 5 taels. No one said anything, only Wen Meng and Kong Youde were left, and each person was divided into more than a thousand taels according to their relatives, and their income for more than a year was no more than this. It would be nice to call back Su Changmei, who is pretending to be a ghost, and let everyone go back to have a peaceful life.

It's a pity that this time everyone's thoughts and Mao Jue's were reversed. He folded his arms, but he actually sneered twice.

"One more thing is worse than one less thing? Sometimes just because I'm too lazy to do this one thing, there are a lot of extra things!"

Without giving Wen Meng time to react, Mao Jue waved his hands sullenly and hummed like he was chasing away flies.

"Pass down the order, all those who go ashore will be sent back to me, and all vacations will be cancelled. Pack your bags today and set off tomorrow, Jeju Island!"

"The last will obey!"

Even if Mao Jue's decision went against the wishes of most of the generals, but Mao Jue really made up his mind, everyone still had to go forward without hesitation. This is the authority of Lieutenant General Tie Yi!

Fighting and stopping, to be honest, the Dongjiang army has not really seen blood this time, where is the magic sword that hastily returned to its sheath without seeing blood?Raised the banner again, three battleships with sails and thirty troop carriers of all sizes roared towards Jeju Island again.

Li Shanhai's complexion has not been very good.

His bragging was early, and the day when the squadron returned to the court is close at hand, but the news of the Japanese pirates in the southeast of Jeju Island kept coming. At first, he was full of confidence that he could defeat the Japanese pirates with the Koryo Navy, but three years later. The naval battle off Jeju in the middle of the month was a lesson for him. Humanoid animals from untouchable households are really no match for Japanese pirates who are desperately fighting for their own sake. If they really want to fight, he dare not.

Can you let it go?He didn't even dare, once his group of teachers turned back and fell to Jeju Island again, the entire Nanren Party would be reduced to the disgrace of Lee's North Korea, and he must die to apologize.

So Li Shanhai emptied the treasury of Jeju, and he had to get Mao Jue's help. He really didn't know how powerful the Ming army was, but even if Mao Jue released the water, he could bring back the Japanese pirates' flagship without any damage. , he is worth the price.

This time Li Shanhai didn't bring many soldiers, just ten wooden boats and more than 1000 people. Anyway, this battle must be fought quickly, and Li Chao's navy is useless in terms of desperate efforts, and the fewer people who know about it, the better.

It was still the meeting room, this time Li Shanhai finally stopped taking pictures of the table, but his expression was still stiff.
