Beiyang new warlord

After saluting, in front of these generals, a tall and thin general with a half-faced beard was the first to shout.

"Master Qianhu, the beginning of the ten-day period has arrived, please show me how to be on duty for this ten-day period!"

This was really the first time the eldest girl got on the sedan chair, Mao Jue felt a little numb, and asked with a pretentious clearing of her throat.

"How was the rotation last month?"

"Returning to Master Qianhu, our Qianhu Office has been vacant for more than two years. On weekdays, it is the last general who patrols the northeast with Shen Baihu, inspecting the Yalu River Estuary of Tieshan, and Zhang Baihu patrols Shuangyu, Taiping Island. In the area, Mr. Zhao, Pang Baihu, and Jin Baihu are going to patrol Zhangzi Island and Ludao, each with their own manpower, every three days!"

As soon as these words came out, the face of General Banner Pang Dahai, who was listening next to him, became ugly first, but he didn't dare to intervene. The other hundreds of households also had different expressions, some were proud, some were disappointed. He leaned on the table and stood up abruptly.

"what?"

"Master Qianhu, what's wrong?"

Chapter 21. Tricky

"What do you think is wrong, my lord?"

The Baihu surnamed Shen also had a gloomy face, he clasped his fists and asked, but his eyes were fixed on these uneven officers, but Mao Jue slapped the table angrily.

"Six hundreds of households patrol the sea, so what about the remaining four? Are there any others? So you don't take this general seriously?"

After yelling these words, the hundreds of households in the room and the general banners all showed astonished expressions. After a moment of embarrassment, the oldest old man leaning against the wall burst out laughing, Shen, Li, Zhang's three Baihu's cheeks also twitched a few times, and after a while, Li Baihu, who was at the front, put on a serious face, clasped his fists and saluted.

"My lord, I misunderstood. Our No. 13 Thousand Household Office has six hundred households. In addition to this compound, there are about 620 soldiers under its jurisdiction. All of our Thousand Household Office have arrived!"

Really, in the first 20 years of life, what I encountered in my life was short catties and short bills. In the past, a bag of biscuits was full, but now there is only the transparent window of the heart left.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Mao Jue was shrunk again. He originally thought that he had more than 1000 people under his command, and he was at the level of a major regiment commander. Mao Jue sat down resentfully, then waved his hand impatiently.

"The patrol watch will follow the old practice!"

As soon as this remark came out, Li Baihu, Shen Baihu, and Zhang Baihu with the big beard on his face were obviously proud, and the big Dahai behind him looked a bit like him, but the old man Quite a few Pang Baihus could clearly see a wave of disappointment, as for the old Zhaotou and the other Baihu, they looked completely indifferent and lazily clasped their fists together.

"Subordinates obey!"

But before these guys returned to their laziness, they went back to each house to find their mothers, knocking on the table, and Mao Jue suddenly added another one.

This is Shen Baihu inspecting Tieshan to the east, right? "

"Oh? Back to Master Qianhu, that's exactly it!"

It seems that it doesn't matter if there are thousands of households on the top of the head, Shen Baihu lowered his head and cupped his fists, but Mao Jue's next words made the muscles at the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

"That's just right. I'm new to the military camp and I'm not very familiar with all kinds of things. Now I will follow Shen Baihu and go to sea to learn more!"

"My lord, the sea is high and the waves are rough, you still"

"What? Shen Baihu is not willing?"

Mao Jue's voice suddenly rose a few degrees, and he stuttered. The guy folded his fists and bowed his head again: "The last general dare not, if that's the case, just follow the Lord!"

Dongjiang Town’s greatest reliance is the sea. The salaries and food shipped from North Korea and Shandong each year support this rare naval base in the Ming Dynasty. Regarding the sea, Dongjiang Town’s defenses can be said to be strict, such as Mao Jue and the others. There are a total of five Qianhusuo, more than 3000 people, and more than 50 warships of different sizes, which divide the surrounding areas of Phi Island all the way to Lushun, Jinzhou.

And Mao Jue, the No.13 thousand households, is very special in that his defense area is the closest to Phi Island, and Mao Youde really takes care of him, which can be regarded as the easiest fat vacancy.

Shen Baihu's ship is much stronger than the sentinel ship in the huge sea. It is about 40 materials, three masts, and more than 86 meters. There are two sentinel ships beside it. A total of [-] Ming soldiers and sailors went out to patrol. The sea can take several days. On the pier, there are still a large number of soldiers carrying large buckets of fresh water and military rations to the boat.

During the internship period of more than half a year, all the landscape boats built were [-] meters long. This actually did not shock Mao Jue, but it was the first time he saw a real warship fighting on the sea, which made him feel that everything was new, and he could not help thinking Touch it, take a look there, a full-fledged bumpkin goes to town.

However, Shen Baihu didn't have the heart to laugh at him. A few soldiers piled up on the other side of the pier, surrounded by the pile of boxes covered with thatch, at a loss. Clasping fists beside Shen Baihu.

"Boss, there is a rush to rush the goods. Are we really not going to take this batch?"

"Bring a sesame seed!"

Looking back, Mao Jue was still looking at the sea and didn't know what to mutter. Shen Baihu was so angry that his teeth were itching, and he lowered his voice depressed.

"I'm afraid this master is here for Lao Tzu, otherwise Zhang Ben and Li Yu won't go anywhere, and they will take Lao Tzu's boat as soon as they come up?"

The voice was lowered even more, and Shen Baihu's gaze became even more gloomy. He glanced at Mao Jue again, and immediately hummed angrily.

"Our Qianhu has a lot of background, otherwise General Mao Can't be so flattering and invite him to drink, but I heard that he and Shen Shikui and Shen Zongbing are at odds."

"Master, we, we have nothing to do with Mr. Shen!"

No wonder the soldiers were wronged, if they really had such a relationship with Shen Shikui, they wouldn't just be a small hundred households and soldiers, Shen's family numbered more than 20, the lowest was Mr.

"Okay, it's hard to tell what the hell is going on." With a grin, Shen Baihu immediately tilted his head at the soldiers.

"Hide the things well, tell the brothers below to keep their mouths tight, and don't make a fuss about this Lord! Let's get rid of what's in front of us first!"

"Master, don't worry, the brothers know it well!"

While answering, the guards were still watching eagerly, next to the wharf, Li Baihu's ship was still loading, and the tightly closed large boxes were being carried onto the ship. The No. [-] blessing boat of Wubailiao seemed to have sank a little into the water.

"sail!!!"

With a rather strange yell, in this jealous voice, three Chinese-style hard sails supported by stays were hoisted high amidst the yells of several strong men. With the sea breeze blowing in the morning, the three sails The patrol ship roared into the sea.

In fact, this sea area is not too far away. Phi Island is located in the sea off the Yalu River Estuary. In about an hour, the patrol ship arrived near Tieshan City, another important stronghold on the Korean Peninsula. They were dispatched, and Shen Baihu also came to ask Mao Jue himself for instructions.

"Mr. Qian, let's stop the boat and report to Tieshan Guard General Meng Shoubei. We will leave in about half an hour!"

"What do those people do?"

With glass, it is much easier to get a telescope. Holding the telescope made by the glass workshop, Mao Jue looked at the shore, the boat that had just landed, and the soldiers who had just landed, when they were dragged by twenty or thirty men wearing big ripped leather jackets. Surrounded by people carrying carts and boxes, but it seemed that the conversation was not appropriate, a group of people almost didn't move their hands, and finally a few soldiers broke through with their knives.

"people?"

Clearly guilty, after looking around, Shen Baihu managed to put on a smile, and shook his head with a dry smile.

"It's just a bunch of thugs. Seeing my Daming warship, come forward to beg and pester me. Mr. Qian doesn't care about it!"

Begging and pestering?Mao Jue is not stupid, where is there someone who came to beg and pester with something?But there is one sentence that is so rare to be confused. He has just come into contact with Thirteen Thousand Households, and he is still very unfamiliar with its interior. He is a loner who came by airborne. Since Shen Shou deliberately covered it up, he will not bother to get to the bottom of it. , nodded vaguely.

"Oh, Ben will know."

The speaker had no intention, but the listener had the intention. Seeing Mao Jue staggering back to his reclining chair on the poop deck, Shen Baihu seemed to always feel that there was something in his words.

After staying in Tieshan for a while, the patrolling fleet headed east again, passing Yuncong Island, the largest island next to Phi Island Army Town.

It is not small here, about 50 square kilometers, about twice the size of Phi Island. Because it is located behind Phi Island, it is relatively safe. Many escapees from Liaodong and military members of Dongjiang Town were placed on it. There is also a The scale of tens of thousands of people is only compared to the military town port of Phi Island, which is mainly composed of six or seven Tuweizi village strongholds. On the island, looking through the telescope, the neatly planned farmland is covered with big dog tails Grass-like plants.

Mao Jue lost another person because he was not working hard and could not distinguish between grains and grains. After asking someone to inquire, he found out that this thing is millet, that is, millet.

Later generations of Northeast rice are famous all over the country. These days, the cultivated area is really small, even to the point of cutting off the status. The main rations are millet, sticky yellow rice, wheat and the like. The yield of these things is two to three hundred kilograms per mu. Two-fifths of the island's arable land produces only enough food for Dongjiang Town's three-month ration, and that's not counting the transportation consumption and rot. Shipped from Shandong.
