Beiyang new warlord

What Mao Wenlong is talking about is nonsense. Li Chao will take eight to fifteen days to go to the capital, even if it is urgent, and it will be even fuller when he comes back. It will be a month later, and it will take another month for Mao Wenlong to transfer troops from the Dongjiang River to the southern part of the peninsula. It is estimated that the Japanese pirates have already packed their wives and concubines, gold, silver, and grain back home by this time. Still fighting a woolen war?

Now Mao Jue, the fake son, is getting more and more into the role. Don't look at the old guy's smiling face, Mao Jue didn't give him a good face, and hummed in a strange way.

"And Mr. Jin! The main force of building slaves, the soldiers of the Gui Dynasty were defeated as if they were ten, beheading [-]! Since Dongjiang Town was established, I have not had such a record. Isn't it just some small Japanese pirates? A one hundred thousand, if it can’t be solved easily, why do I need Dongjiang to make such a fuss?”

This cynicism, if another civil servant from Ming Dynasty came, he would have gone away long ago, but Mao Jue underestimated Jin Zidian, the old guy can get along with the chaotic mess of party disputes between east and west, south and north Up to now, the face has long been used inappropriately. Even if he was ridiculed by Mao Jue, the junior, the old guy still had a smiling face and spread his hands with a wry smile.

"These are all bragging words! Otherwise, the old man will not be able to keep his official position. If the old man is not around, who can try his best to expropriate Maomi to supply the Dongjiang army? Little General Mao, do you think so?"

Mao Jue didn't know what happened to the Japanese riots in Jiangyuan Province, but he admired Jin Zidian's face now. This said that the meaning of his being an official seemed to be all for Dongjiang. Mao Jue couldn't hear it for a while. It's good to know what to pick up. Mao Wenlong is also an old fritters. In terms of shamelessness, he is only a little bit worse than Jin Zi. The old guy's head is still shaking like a rattle.

"Anyway, Master Jin, our town has just experienced a great war, and our soldiers are exhausted. There is no military order from the imperial court, and the Japanese pirates have always been fierce. Even the governor, there is really no way to drive them to work hard!"

"Just two thousand rides! Lord Mao, two thousand rides is enough!"

"The cavalry has already chased the Jiannu remnant soldiers and headed towards Tieshan. Lord Jin, I really can't spare soldiers and horses!"

Facing Jin Zidian's extremely disappointed old face, Mao Wenlong finally changed his tone at this moment.

"However, the Quanzimao Jue Department basically didn't have any major incidents this time, so why don't you ask him, Mr. Jin."

Is this still my father?He sold his son as soon as he changed hands! Mao Jue almost spit it out. Seeing the old guy turn around with a smile again, Mao Jue quickly put on a bitter face and waved his hands sadly.

"Lord Jin, I, Yizhou, are right under Jiannu's nose. If Jiannu gets angry and sends troops south this time, I will be the first barrier of the Korean Kingdom! The last general really can't draw troops!"

"Doesn't General Xiao Mao like ships? I will build them for Bing Cao's warships, and let General Xiao Mao use them!"

Lao Jin was really a businessman, so he directly offered conditions. Unfortunately, Mao Jue, the warship of the Korean Kingdom, really didn't like it, so he shook his head uncompromisingly.

"Lord Jin, Yizhou really can't get any soldiers out of it."

"The old man conscripted another [-] corvée to build warships for General Xiao Mao. All the local soldiers in Nankaido will be recorded as killed in battle and removed from their household registration!"

Mao Jue's heart was moved when he finally said these words. It was still Grandpa Mao's words, 1 years is too long, seize the day and night! In the great changes in Liaodong, Mao Jue dare not waste every minute and every second, don't He said that now he needs a fleet to go to the south of the Yangtze River to earn money for him, and he also needs a fleet to go fishing in the ocean to supplement military rations and protein, and if the Ming Dynasty falls in the future, and another fleet, he can also flee south and occupy a place. The island countries in Southeast Asia escape disasters, why Zheng Chenggong can maintain the regime in the Taiwan Strait for such a long time, isn't it because the Zheng family fleet can live up to the scene?

"Each soldier pays five taels of silver a month, and two stones of military rations! Behead one level, and reward 30 taels of silver!"

"to make!"

"For this battle, the command right belongs to Dongjiang!"

"also may!"

This asking price is a bit outrageous, not to mention Li Chao, Dongjiang can raise two or three cavalry at this price, and Mao Jue wants to command the frontline North Korean soldiers, who knows if he will use these soldiers and horses as cannon fodder?However, Jin Zidian was also a bachelor, so he agreed as soon as he opened his mouth. The price was negotiated, and Mao Jue couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and finally nodded in agreement.

"My town sent eight hundred troops."

"This"

After spending such a high price, 800 people is really a bit small. Jin Zidian couldn't help showing embarrassment on his face, but immediately, Mao Jue accelerated his tone and agreed.

"Eight hundred are all my own soldiers! It was these 800 people who took Yizhou back then!"

"Ben will personally direct!"

Two sentences, every sentence, Jin Zidian's old face looked good, and in the end the old guy simply bowed his hands.

"In that case, I will leave it to General Xiao Mao!"

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, there are many generals in Liaodong, but there are only a few famous generals. Recently, Mao Jue barely squeezed into the side by virtue of the Yizhou battle. He sold himself to work for Jin Zidian. The guy was not worried that he would not be able to work hard, and after a few more pleasantries, Jin left in a hurry. He was also busy with military affairs, and there were a lot of bad things waiting to be dealt with.

As soon as Jin left, Mao Jue couldn't help complaining.

"Father! Did you sell your son just like that?"

Stroking his beard and sitting on the big armchair, listening to Mao Jue's complaint, the old man showed a smile on his face. The next sentence made Mao Jue break out in a cold sweat.

"I really feel that you are not the son of this old man!"

Before Mao Jue could organize his words to prevaricate, the old guy stroked his long beard and shook his head emotionally.

"If in the past, with your kid's personality, you had to wait for the old man to jump high and yell to send troops to North Korea, to make a face for Daming, now you finally have a plan, grow up, and walk away from the nonsense of those sour scholars. Out!"

"This is a chaotic world, if you want to survive, you must have a scheming!"

Mao Wenlong was obviously very satisfied with Mao Jue's answer. Holding on to the armrest, he stood up again, and put a slap on Mao Jue's shoulder.

"You are very good at management, Tieshan, you can get all the money that Yizhou can make, and you can make all the people under him happy. The battle in Yizhou was also good! But it's not enough! General's Prestige is not earned by making money, but by making money!"

"Your father and I attacked Zhenjiang with 30 people, and Gaizhou with 500 people. With our current status, we made pure bastards like Shen Shikui and Liu Xingzuo obey orders. It was because of ruthlessness! In the entire Dongjiang Town, no one is better than you Dad, I'm still ruthless!"

Mao Wenlong didn't brag at all, don't look at Mao Wenlong now seems to be quite old, like a good old man. When he was young, the pile of bones under his hands was probably higher than this city wall. He dared not disobey Mao Wenlong's order at all, a good old man couldn't do this step.

"The Japanese pirate incident is also an opportunity for you. After all, Dongjiang is next to Li Chao. If you want to provoke Dongjiang Town, you have to show your ruthlessness in front of these Koreans and let them admire you. You, I am afraid of you, I dare not poke small tricks in your back, I can only dedicate to you tremblingly, don't worry about Yizhou, I will watch for you!"

Patting his chest, Mao Wenlong spoke sonorously and boldly, the confidence in his tone was completely different from his usual silence.

What Mao Wenlong said was right, but Mao Jue didn't agree with this point. A good general really needs to lead his subordinates to win continuously, but the two father and son are now taking the road of warlords. As warlords, they not only want to win, but You must also continue to bring benefits to your subordinates, so that every man who licks his blood is willing to work for you.

But he didn't refute it, this time he got the benefits, and it would not be a loss to sell Jin Zidian's life once, so Mao Jue put his hand on his chest respectfully and bent down.

"Understood, handsome father!"

In addition, Dongjiang Town's troops retreated backwards, but Mao Jue's Tieshan pro-corps assembled from the opposite direction. Three days later, 820 and a lot of cooks gathered at Xiongjin Port.

And this time, the equipment of the Tieshan army is even sharper. In addition to the tiger squatting cannon that was equipped at the beginning, there are two more [-]-jin Hongyi cannons this time, and the cannon mounts are exactly the same as those erected on the left and right incisor forts. The thick cowhide was padded three times, and it stood tall on the deck of the Dongjiang Township.

In the past three days, Jin Zidian has also assembled about 50 North Korean naval forces, and he really can't wait. When Mao Jue arrived, he set off to the south almost immediately. Going south.

Mao Wenlong didn't come to see him off, maybe he was too relieved of his son, leaning on the towering watchtower, wiping a flintlock gun, Mao Jue's mood was a little restless, he used to watch TV on TV How bloodthirsty and tough the mercenaries are, killing people like hemp, no one can imagine that in this Daming, he has also been a mercenary, and he is also the head of the mercenary regiment.

The slide bayonet had been wiped bright by the deerskin. Suddenly, the flintlock gun was picked up by Mao Jue, and the cold light of the gun pointed at it. A seagull flew up from the mast in horror and hovered over the fleet. dare to fall

Chapter 97. Being Shown

Lee Dynasty is a peninsula, and it is much faster to go along the coast than to go around Gyeonggi-do by land. On the evening of the third day, the fleet has arrived in the northern part of Jeolla-do, which is also the territory of later generations of Korea.

Although his hometown is not far away, Mao Jue has never been here before. The legendary plastic surgery paradise, shopping paradise, and tourist attraction Jeju Island are quite new to Mao Jue.

Not only him, but everyone seems to have an illusion that the more you go to the north, the more bitter and cold the place is, and the more you go to the south, the more affluent. The big guys are also very curious about this land of grain, rice and fodder in the south of the Li Dynasty. Looking towards the land from the boat.

However, it didn't take long before everyone was disappointed. The low and dilapidated city walls, the slum-like city walls, and the Koreans coming and going were even more ragged and disheveled. This is the Chonggang Mountains in the north of Jeolla-do. The county seat is so barren.

"Bah, what a good place I think it is! Not to mention the comparison with Tieling and Shenyang back then, even the Pangjia village where I live is a bit richer than here!"

There was a rotation of generals this time, because Wen Meng was considered Mao Jue's most trusted general, and he was also the one who could only carry out Mao Jue's orders. , Zhao Cheng and other generals should not cause trouble. As the second to join, Pang Hai took on the task of Mao Jue's deputy.
