Beiyang new warlord

However, Mao Jue's smile never faded, and he nodded heavily, and gave a thumbs up.

"Often I heard my father boast about how he and his brothers were so turbulent back then, how angry they were like tigers! Seeing you today, it really deserves its reputation! Mao Qian, pass on an order to reward each brother with ten boxes of cigarettes and a jar of wine!"

One must be generous to be a human being. When these words came out, no matter whether Shen Shikui or Liu Xingzuo looked better, Liu Xingzhong, the youngest of the Liu family, clasped his fists in high spirits: "Thank you, General Master Xiaomao, for watching!"

Needless to say, since Mao Jue launched this cigarette, it has quickly become popular all over the world. People are under too much pressure to survive these days, especially soldiers. The most contemptuous supercilious person lives the lowest life. Tobacco is like an analgesic, which can make people relax and depress a little. Sometimes Mao Jue's smoking is more effective than rewarding money.

Strike while the iron is hot, and while the older brothers are also happy, Mao Jue clasped his fists again with a smile.

"My lord, earn fame on the battlefield! Since the soldiers here in Jeju are strong and strong, I will conscript the Japanese. I want to conscript all of you accompanying the army. Grandpa, General Liu, what do you think?"

The most iron relationship has carried guns together, and the relationship between the general and his subordinates is also formed on the battlefield. Mao Jue's intention to establish the relationship between the next generation of Dongjiang's power class and several families could not be more obvious. Liu Xingzuo and others are also understanding people, so they immediately said nothing. Standing up and bowing fiercely, even Shen Shikui was no exception.

"Listen to General Mao's orders from Xiao Mao!"

He began to eat part of Dongjiang again, and while being grateful to Mao Wenlong, Mao Jue himself also showed a little complacency, stood up suddenly from the seat, put his hands on the railing, and raised his eyebrows generously. shouted.

"With all of you following, the world is so big! Where does Mao dare not venture?"

"Wish to attach to the general!"

If you want to play this time, just play a little bit bigger. In two days, the Jeju Ming Army was also ready for battle and was incorporated into Mao Jue's expeditionary force. There are a total of 3000 people, all of which are the personal troops of several generals. , the most powerful group of combat effectiveness, and they can be regarded as traditional lightly armed troops. Except for the cavalry horses of Liu Xingzuo and his brothers, which can bring some burden to the special horse boats, the rest are just carrying guns and armor and leaving for Mao Zedong out of thin air. Jue added a force of combat power.

But God is balanced, and it is destined not to look at one person for too long. After finishing the military affairs of Jeju on the [-]th, up to now, Li Chao's army and Li Shanhai, who were supposed to have a round with him, have never shown up. On the sixteenth day of the month, Mao Jue had to cross the sea again and return to Gyeongsang-do. In Juyanli, he found Li Chao's army belonging to Li Shanhai.

"This, this is Li Chao's army going out this time?"

Riding on the horse and leaning forward, Mao Jue felt a little dumbfounded.

It is said that if you sharpen your guns before the battle, you will be happy if you are unhappy, but Li Shanhai, Mr. Li, you came too late!

In front of him was an extremely lively scene. It was so lively that it was like a dilapidated fence surrounding a vegetable market. Tall, short, old, and young, as long as they were men, they were put into the barracks as long as they could handle a knife, a gun, and a fork.

It is said that the soldiers of the four southern provinces are recruited, but in fact, Li Shanhai has drawn less than 2000 soldiers from Jeolla Province, and the rest are all recruited on the spot. Not to mention, the coast has just experienced the disaster of Japanese invaders, so they came to apply There are quite a few, at least nearly [-].

But looking at those pied-clothed soldiers, some of them didn't even have a hoe, and Mao Jue, the "Li Chao army" who was wandering around there, really felt like the sea.

dizzy!

Although it is in the name of fighting Japanese pirates, both he and Li Shanhai know that this is crossing the sea to conquer a country! Isn't it just playing tricks, is he just fooling around like this?Aren't you afraid of risking your life and putting yourself in it?

Cheeks twitched, and Mao Jue yelled out the words just now almost angrily. Who knew that what he heard in Li Shanhai's ears, instead of touching him in the slightest, the old guy nodded in response as a matter of course.

"That's right, these are the elite soldiers of my court. By the way, General Xiao Mao, a total of 3 military pay and ordnance, these few days, please send it to Juyan as soon as possible!"

"You still want me to ask for military pay and ammunition?"

Pointing at his own nose, Mao Jue screamed again in exasperation.

Although the two big figures who stomped their feet and shocked all the three kingdoms of Haidong were arguing, this one didn't seem to affect Li Shanhai's recruitment before the battle. sing famous.

"Next, name, place of origin!"

"Is this going to fight the Japanese pirates? Count me in, my name is Pu Ada! I want these Japanese pirates to snatch my sweet potatoes and get them all back!"

With half a piece of sweet potato stuffed in his mouth and wrapped in a turban, Pu Ah, who looked like a little chick, yelled in the crowd

Chapter 2. Wa country, Lao Tzu is here again!

For the first time, Mao Jue, who can be called Grandet, confessed. He has always been the one who took money from others. The first time he was taken away by others. After arguing with Li Shanhai for a day, Tieyi finally sent 5 Two taels of silver, several thousand shi of grain, and about [-] weapons.

It just so happens that several towns in Jeju will also be formally included under the command. Shen Shikui and Li Jiuzheng's bird guns, single-handed swords, long-distance cards and so on, will be paid to Li Shanhai. Who knows that Li Shanhai is not fooled. As a smart learner, he insisted on five thousand sets of Mao Jue's bayonet and flintlock guns. Mao Jue had no choice but to grit his teeth and stomp his feet. He took out five thousand sets from the reserve supplies and gave them to him.

There is no way, the conditions proposed by this guy are too tempting. First, this war was initiated by Mao Jue. Second, if Mao Jue gives equipment, he, Li Shanhai, can be the master. The land outside the Great Wall of Koryo, he, Mao Jue, will reclaim wasteland. After that, the government of the Li Dynasty officially recognized it and issued the title deed. Where is the Great Wall of Korea?Uprising in the south, surrounded by mountains in the north, happened to separate most of Hamgyong Road from the mainland of Li Dynasty. What Mao Jue lacked now was room for development, which was tantamount to tacitly allowing him to annex Hamgyong Road.

Although in Mao Jue's view, it was a waste to distribute weapons to these farmers, fishermen and hooligans, but for this promise, he had to grit his teeth and do it.

It’s true that information is extremely money, because of the lack of information from the court of the Li Dynasty, Mao Jue didn’t know it. Even if he didn’t bleed, the court still allowed him to cultivate outside the Great Wall of Koryo. It can be regarded as helping Li Shanhai to complete the recruitment. On November 260, more than [-] Li Chao board house boats like turtles also embarked on the journey.

This time it was really a big game. The Ming army and the Jeju Army had a total of 5000 troops. The cavalry had a special horse boat this time, and they brought a full 8000 horses, which can be equipped with [-] cavalry. There are more than [-]. This scale is not far from the Spanish Armada, and its land combat capabilities have surpassed the Spanish Armada.

This is not counting the 3 people in the Li Dynasty. Now there are 300 troops rowing more than [-] warships and thousands of cannons, rushing aggressively towards the unconscious Wa country to kill them again.

It is ironic that this time it is still in the name of crusade against Japanese pirates, but the [-] Japanese pirates have been wandering along the coast for less than three days and disappeared. The mighty fleet is heading straight to the mainland of the Japanese country. No worries!

Tsushima Island was still in his hands, and the Japanese merchant ships encountered along the way were directly detained. It can be said that everything was carried out according to Mao Jue's plan.

The only thing that exceeded Mao Jue's expectations was Li Shanhai.

"Here, what are you doing at noon?"

Don't look at Mao Jue as the commander-in-chief of an army of [-]. In fact, there are not many places under his command. Every ship has a captain and mate to manage it. Don't look at the auxiliary army as a temporary symptom. They all have training targets, and they have their own officers. Temporarily choose a highly respected one to lead thousands of households in each village and form an army. This kind of army is not even weaker than those in Liaodong. After all, everyone has a lot of training. All about the same.

Every morning, he would look at the logbook, plan the route, and check for internal conflicts. At noon, Mao Jue could even take a leisurely nap, but this day he just lay down, and the crackling sound like popping beans It shook him up.

Yawning, Mao Jue staggered out of the back cabin, looked outside, but he almost didn't fall off the boat.

"What's the matter? Still fighting? Is the enemy attacking?"

No wonder Mao Jue was full of astonishment. The Dongjiang Fleet and the Li Chao Fleet were advancing in parallel. After all, the wooden house boats had short legs, so they might not know where they were left without waiting for them. The sea journey was dragged for seven days.

Who knew that on the third day, Li Chao's fleet seemed to be blown up, a puff of green smoke covered the sky and covered the sky, and the flames could still be seen spitting out continuously, and the fight was almost over.

"What's going on here? Come on, prepare to respond! Where's Shen Rong!"

"General! General! The last general is here!"

Others are not as leisurely as Mao Jue. Going out is not a reason. As long as there is no typhoon, even if there are waves, you have to train me in a military posture.

Seeing that Mao Jue came out in a panic, Shen Rong ran over immediately, not at all like a military officer with a supervising officer and a regiment of 400 people. He nodded and bowed to Mao Jue to salute.

"What's going on here? There's a fight all over the place! Where's Li Ye? Order the fleet to change formation and respond!"

"General, what happened?"

Confused, Shen Rong looked in the direction Mao Jue pointed at, but at a glance, he suddenly slapped his thigh.

"General, you forgot the regular meeting this morning. Li Chaobing judged Master Li to greet you. He will start training today!"

"No, firing, shooting, and training?"

Shen Rong took it for granted, but Mao Jue's mouth twitched involuntarily.

Live ammunition training is indeed too common. Every month, the Dongjiang Tieyi Army must train at least ten days of live ammunition training. The question is where is the score?In Dongjiang, the gunpowder prepared by the imperial court, the sulfur saltpeter dug by Mao Jue himself, and the charcoal burned, the gunpowder needs to be as much as possible, and can be used until next year, but where can it be replenished in the sea?There is going to be a war soon! When I arrived in Japan, I lost all the gunpowder, so I still have to make wool?

Even for Mao Jue, the training items on the ship were only physical fitness.
