Beiyang new warlord

Wearing a set of maid's goose-yellow clothes, with a nondescript helmet on her little head, Yu Le'er is actually sitting in front of his desk bored. If it weren't for the lack of mobile phones these days, this girl would definitely be taking selfies with joy. , Seeing Mao Jue's question, the girl couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"I don't want to come either, the master told me to come! He said that the general must have someone around him to serve him!"

"A loving father has many losers!"

Mao Jue was almost confused.

He understood Mao Wenlong's approach. Marrying a famous family these days is extremely important to a man. The old guy must know what happened to Chen Jiao. Naturally, he didn't like this daughter-in-law. Le'er became a substitute, and replaced Su Yi, giving the two of them a chance to enhance their relationship and spend time alone. In the future, once Mao Jue is knighted, the wife of this country will also be appointed.

The problem is, this Yu Le'er is an out-and-out young lady, what would she do, she's going out to fight!Do you want Mao Jue to take care of her, Her Highness the Princess?

The corner of his mouth twitched, Mao Jue pointed out the door and ordered.

"Serving the general, aren't you? Go out and boil me some hot water to make some tea!"

"The servants won't!"

A pair of big eyes looked at him cutely, and Mao Jue covered his forehead sadly.

"Come here, prepare the boat, and send Madam Yu back to Tieshan, no, send her back to Shandong!!!"

Chapter 2. United Army

Changing shotguns to cannons is about Mao Jue's Dongjiang Tieyi Army.

When the Japanese were recruited last time, plus the Koryo mercenary regiment recruited in Woongjin, the entire army was only about 5000 people, with seven sailing battleships, and the rest were filled with the old Fuchuan, Guangchuan, and Cangshan ships from Dongjiang, but now , although the first-tier battleships did not increase much, but as the backbone of the second-tier battleships, the third-tier battleships are all replaced with new ones. The entire fleet has 120 two large and small warships, all of which are battleships. There are more than 8000 sailors recruited. Sailors and fishermen are almost all covered.

There are also high-quality cast iron ship cannons made of the excellent iron-rich iron ore of Tieshan, forming a terrifying firepower. In terms of the number of cannons, it is estimated that the capital is not as many as Mao Jue. After three years of sharpening a sword, more than 6 workers do not remember The cost of working day and night finally has the scale it is today.

It's just that these also exhausted the last batch of treasures left by Yi Sun-shin, and the shade-dried wood in various shipyards of the Li Dynasty began to deplete. Tieyi's tentacles stretched into Xianjing Road, and a large number of loggers also rushed into the virgin forest here.

Fortunately, in a short period of time, Mao Jue didn't need to continue to build large ships, and the requirements for wood materials were lowered a lot. The next task of Xiongjin Shipyard was to hold his breath and try his best to build small-scale fishing boats for him, and then take advantage of the Japanese When he didn't have that ability, he first occupied the Hokkaido fishing grounds. The big tuna, catfish, pippi shrimp and scallops that made people drool on TV in later generations were all from China.

I went to Woongjin Shipyard to pick up cargo and supplies. On November [-]th, the volunteers of the Ming Dynasty who accepted the invitation of Li Chao drove into Jeju Island, the front line of the anti-Japanese war.

"Wow!!! It's so beautiful!"

There is a blue sea and blue sky, the sand is sieved with a sieve, and the terrain has been leveled a lot by manpower. Although the supporting hotels in the back have not been built because Mao Jue is too busy, the infrastructure is first leveled by such a garrison. over again.

Although it's winter and the weather is a bit cold, Yu Le'er has been holding back for a week, this girl is already going crazy. As soon as she got off the boat, she looked at the sea in front of Halla Mountain, and immediately screamed like crazy and excited. He trotted over with his bare feet.

Women and dragons are really relatives, and they don't see beautiful things.

Holding a folder, wearing a close-fitting cheongsam to fully reflect her exquisite figure, her fiery red hair is coiled into a bun, her big lake-blue eyes are wearing large transparent glasses, and she is with Mao Jue After getting off the boat, with the sea breeze blowing, Adelaine frowned contemptuously at Yu Leer's back.

"Miss Jiao!"

But in this girl's eyes, Mao Jue still saw the fiery light, which was shining brightly. If it wasn't for holding the Tieyi Army's army book in his arms, Mao Jue had no doubt that this girl would have to run away happily.

Blame him too, just talk in vernacular when nothing happens, what sun, beach, bikinis, fishing in the sun, hooking up with my own girl's face is flushed, but my heart is itchy.

It’s just that we have to think about this holiday after the war. Besides, it’s still winter, and the sea breeze is blowing. Where does romance come from? There’s sunshine and passion, isn’t it?Yu Le'er will have to go back to the cold in a while, and she doesn't care about her. Among the neat black boots of the 24th Guards, Mao Jue is a set of neat general cotton armor, and he is carrying the foreign secretary Adelaine. , Spiritually walked down the trestle by the port.

By the trestle bridge, a group of generals were already waiting there.

The appearance of Mao Jue is definitely a brand new beginning for Dongjiang. He brought back the Dongjiang town that was about to be subverted in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, and expanded the population of Dongjiang from 10 to 30. The originally scattered army was almost integrated , the overall combat effectiveness, ten regiments with eight thousand soldiers, Mao Jue dare to say that the top Liaodong Army is [-] to [-], but Mao Jue is actually very unfriendly to the former power level in Dongjiang Town.

The biggest source of income for the generals, the Bianshi originally located in Phi Island was replaced by his Uiju Bianshi!

Little by little, Mao Jue strangled all the sources of goods from Li's North Korea and the Dongjiang River, and pinched them all to himself. Tens of thousands of mink furs and tens of thousands of catties of ginseng a year, gradually got along with Shen Shikui and Liu Xingzuo. , the five brothers Liu Xingzhi, Chen Jisheng and others have nothing to do with each other.

Seeing that there was no profit to be made, last year Chen Jisheng simply relied on his connections to go to Liaodong Town. Shen Shikui and the others were not convinced, but they had no choice. Among the young generals, whoever speaks tough depends on the strength in their hands. Mao Jue took the Yizhou of the Zhenglan Banner, and they didn't even dare to fight the bannermen who came to sweep the Zhenglan Banner. Who had the toughest fist?

And the strength is even more ebb and flow. Although the soldiers and the general have the meaning of living and dying together, they also depend on money and food. Shen Shikui is the best in Dongjiang. His Shen family army had 3000 two years ago, and there were more than [-] soldiers. Mao Wenlong He has to give him a few points, but now, his personal soldiers are only [-], and the Shen family's army is less than [-]. There is no way, they are short of money to maintain.

There are also the five brothers of the Liu family. They came here after Jiannu surrendered to Mao Wenlong. Their only advantage is that the eight or nine hundred Jurchens cavalry they brought with them dare not go back, and they can't run away.

The reason why a few people are willing to come to Jeju Island is because they are afraid of poverty. The land here is still fertile. Now Mao Jue and Li Chao are jointly managing this place. The original Jeju City, Tamna County, has more than 2 Lee's Koreans. The people with household registration are still in charge of themselves. The wasteland reclaimed in other parts of Jeju Island is out of the control of the Ming army stationed there. Previously, Li Jiuzheng went to guard the Southwest Fort, and the villages reclaimed nearby were doing well. The five brothers from the Shen family and the Liu family all followed one after another.

This is also the reason why Mao Wenlong's concubine, Mao Wenlong's concubine Mrs. Shen, had become more and more honest in the past two years.

Seeing Mao Jue appear, to be honest, no matter Shen Shikui or Liu Xingzuo, they feel uncomfortable in their hearts, but the form is compelling. Mao Jue, the master of Dongjiang, is becoming more and more secure. If he wants to continue to hang around in Dongjiang, even if Shen Shikui had to bow his head.

"Greetings, Greetings, General Xiao Mao!"

As the head of more than a dozen old Dongjiang generals, Shen Shikui was the first to bow down with a sigh.

"Grandpa, you don't need to be too polite, please hurry up, please hurry up, you are all my Dongjiang seniors, don't be too polite, get up!"

Mao Jue had a small face and greeted him warmly, but he was also very hard-working. The two surnamed Shen, Shen Guangzuo, were called uncles in terms of relatives, pretending to be small. Although Shen Shikui was not the father of his biological mother, he According to the etiquette of this era, his grandfather is still his grandfather, and he is still young, but people respect me a foot, and I respect others. Mao Jue is so careless, and the attitudes of Shen Shikui and Liu Xingzuo have also softened a little.

With self-knowledge, Mao Jue said a few words of modesty, and did not regard himself as a grandfather. Shen Shikui still had such a rigid expression, and stretched out his hand in front of him as a salute.

"General Xiao Mao, the last general has already prepared a banquet in the Southwest Fort, please move the general to tell us."

"Thank you, grandpa! Adelaine, let Pang Pang Hai and Shen Rong lead their troops to disembark and garrison. Mao Li, let's go to Southeast Fort and have a good drink with the generals. Let's go!"

Drinking and so on are actually secondary, just like the underworld in the later generations, when Mao Jue, a strong dragon, came over, Shen Shikui and the local snakes had to show their strength and shine their muscles, so that in the future Dongjiang would be under Mao Jue's command. Mix to enough status.

Sure enough, even an alcoholic like Liu Xingzuo had a taste of it at noon, and in the afternoon, Mao Jue was invited to the martial arts field, which was euphemistically called watching soldiers.

It's true that people have to fall to the bottom of the valley before they know that they are down-to-earth.

The Southwest Fort is very similar to the Western Fort. It is the kind of military fort built when the Crusaders attacked the Blue Empire. It is strong enough, but the housing space is also limited. It can only accommodate more than 1000 garrisons. The 27 soldiers of the five brothers of the family, and the 700 soldiers of Shen Shikui, have been concealed. The remaining [-] soldiers and horses of theirs and some of the soldiers are divided into [-] surrounding fields, one north and one south. Two small forts, The remaining [-] soldiers of the Shen family, [-] Jurchens Hu Qi and more than [-] more powerful firearms soldiers formed a war barracks. A separate barracks was built in the eight miles behind the Southeast Fort. defensive position.

It was built within half a year, and here they are finally moving, but in Phi Island, these people are just nesting in the military camp all day long, at most doing a few private orders to earn some money, are they soldiers?These are smugglers! Fortunately, now, they have regained some of their spirit as soldiers.

The Qilipuzi military camp looks like a huge courtyard. It also borrowed cement from Tieyi, but it was only built with a one-story bungalow, a Datong shop, and a spacious teaching field in the middle. Steam up.

"Drink! Ha!"

The man's roar filled the huge teaching field. Sitting on the general platform in the north, Mao Jue watched as if he was watching a horse race, watching hundreds of cavalrymen whipping their horses and shouting forward.

It is worth mentioning that most of these people have short hair and a small tail trailing behind them. Most of these people are Jurchen cavalry who followed the five brothers of the Liu family to surrender.

It is said that Mao Wenlong was playing soy sauce, but in this era of consecutive defeats in the Ming Dynasty, Mao Wenlong could make a Jurchen army of more than 900 people surrender to him, which already explained a lot of things. I have to say that these white mountains and black waters The ethnic minorities who survived the tribal vendetta are indeed fierce and brave. Liu Chong also has cavalry under his command. These cavalry are also skilled in martial arts, but they don't have the desperate momentum of the post-golden cavalry in front of them. They are just straw mats tied with straw. However, the cavalry passing by on horseback seemed to be fighting as if they were really fighting, slashing with red eyes and dragging their knives, and the places they passed were like autumn leaves blown by the autumn wind.

After a circle, it was time to put away the sword and change the bow again. The rain of arrows flew, and even Mao Jue could feel the ferocity of the arrows. Even the strong team couldn't bear it, and they were defeated under the rain of arrows.

The soldiers left the field, and they are Shen Shikui's own soldiers. In terms of formation, these guys are much worse than the Tieyi Army, but in terms of fierceness, they are not inferior to those Liu family cavalry. They were all shouting and slashing, but with that strength and the ruthlessness to fight, they definitely had the potential of a desperado.

Although this was a demonstration to himself, Mao Jue still showed a look of admiration when he watched the army passing by. With this team, it is no wonder that Mao Wenlong was able to fight in a foreign country while surrounded by enemies. To establish Dongjiang Town in the world, leaving a strong mark in this late Ming Dynasty, and no matter how strong they are, they will be their own generals in the future!

"What does General Xiao Mao think?"

The martial arts performance lasted for nearly an hour, and it was all about hard work. There were no firearms to make up the number. Shen Shikui knew that firearms were no match for Mao Jue. After the rehearsal, Shen Shikui looked proudly at Mao Jue. The five brothers in the family actually each picked up a cigarette, and they were full of showing off and provocation.
