Beiyang new warlord

"It's like I said! You can't go a thousand miles without accumulating steps. You have to eat every bite, and you have to fight one by one. First occupy Kyushu Island, maintain your influence, and then go north slowly. Sooner or later, you can take it down."

"The little General Mao, I'm afraid you will never be able to take down the Tokugawa family in your life."

Mao Jue almost choked on Yuan Chonghuan's words again.

Where are you old guys? Each fights [-] big boards. If it's up to you, don't you send troops?

"Yuan said just now that the fight for the world is not about a city or a place, but the people's hearts! General Mao, no matter how much you use the banner of the Toyotomi family, our Ming army is the Ming army after all, and the Japanese are always xenophobic. , At this time, you seized Kyushu Island, not to mention that the down-and-out Shimadzu family used to belong to the Toyotomi family of the Western Army, and those princes of the Japanese kingdom will only see the Toyotomi family leading wolves into the house, and together with Ming Dynasty, divided the world of the Japanese kingdom. The Japanese are even more exclusive than Mongolia, and the Tokugawa family has even more reason to call on all the heroes of the world to crusade against you."

"General Xiao Mao, there is Houjin in the west. How long can you take care of both things?"

It's true that ginger is still old and hot, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's meaningful eyes, Mao Jue was also dumb.

No matter how powerful the empire is, it can't fight on two fronts. The flag of Byzantium in the Eastern Roman Empire is still a double-headed eagle. It has to take into account both the East and the West. As a result, the country has declined for several centuries. Not only the territory of the East is lost, but also the territory of the West. It was devoured by the crusaders under the banner of Christianity. When it perished, only the capital Byzantium was left, which made people sigh.

Not to mention far away, didn't the nearby Ming Dynasty also collapsed suddenly under the attack of internal rogues and external Houjin?These two are still at the level of behemoths. Today's Mao Jue doesn't even have the qualifications to see him. To the east, Dongjiang is definitely not the opponent of the Tokugawa family who has gathered 30 or [-] warriors from the entire Japanese kingdom. To the west, Huang Taiji must be really ruthless To destroy him, he also complained endlessly, picking chestnuts from the fire, and surviving in the cracks. In fact, this is the true portrayal of Dongjiang today. The crisis has never left.

"According to Yuan Dushi's intention, this general should not send troops to the Wa Kingdom!"

What Yuan Chonghuan said was not unreasonable. Mao Jue had to admit that he was actually persuaded and began to reconsider Dongjiang's interests in the country of Japan. Head drilled north.

But just when Mao Jue was about to give up, Yuan Manzi shook his head in a mysterious way.

"It's not impossible to send troops, but you shouldn't take the initiative to send troops! As Sister Kai said, the Tokugawa family's rule is brutal and harsh on the local daimyo. There should be some people who are extremely dissatisfied with the Tokugawa family?"

"Once a righteous soldier raises his troops and the Tokugawa family is in a stalemate, someone should think of asking the Toyotomi family to uphold justice?"

"Furthermore, Yuan has also heard that there is also a court in the country of Wa. Although the tyrants of the country of Wa are as powerful as Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, the court of the country of Wa still has influence and reputation among the people. What Cao Cao did back then does not need Yuan to read to Shuai Mao. Bar!"

After saying that, the old guy pretended to move back, picked up his "Spring and Autumn" and read it, but Mao Jue and Jia Feiji, who were listening to the words, didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

Jiang was still old and hot, and after a while, Mao Jue nodded in admiration, turned his eyes away, and met Jia Feiji's dim old eyes of approval, envy, jealousy, and possessive complex eyes.

Although a fox is small, it is smart if you have a heart. Mao Jue is now a little fox after training, and can survive the great changes of Toyotomi and Tokugawa Dingge, and Jia Fei Ji can be regarded as an old fox. Mao Jue's eyes look towards Chiyo Ji meowed, and then pulled at Yuan Chonghuan, and the old fox immediately understood.

Let's not talk about it today, as soon as the map was collected, Mao Jue bowed with a smile.

"His Royal Highness Kai, the future will be long!"

Chapter 262. The decisive battle is in a thousand miles, and the victory is in the temple

In fact, what Yuan Chonghuan said is not comprehensive. Not all wars for the world need to win people's hearts. For example, Genghis Khan, the greatest conqueror of Mongolia, didn't even need the loyalty of the conquered land. He killed all those who dared to stand in front of him. In the end, it is said that the Mongolian army has slaughtered as many as [-] million people one after another, and the whole world has been slaughtered. Naturally, there is no need to compete for the hearts of the people.

But Mao Jue didn't have the courage to kill 2000 million little Japanese in one go. Even if he despises and hates the Japanese, Mao Jue is not so mad. What's more, he still needs the Japanese to dig lime for him to resist contract shipbuilding and grow food. Then people still have to fight for it.

Not to mention, what Yuan Chonghuan said opened a new window for him. Fortunately, he is still from a later generation. Why do you have to fight to the death with real swords and guns? If you want to stir up the world, there are plenty of ways.

After returning from Shangshou Village, Su Changmei, who was in charge of military logistics, was summoned by Mao Jue. Not to mention that this guy is definitely the type who gets fat even after drinking cold water. After half a year of running around in Japan, he managed to lose weight successfully. Xiao Ban, it's only been a few days since he came back, and he has gained weight again. His face seems to be swollen and shiny, and he squeezed into the vice general's mansion like a ball. It was very difficult to salute Mao Jue before he bowed down. , with a sad expression on his face.

"General, call me an officer!"

"I said, what do you eat to make you so fat? If my Dongjiang army is like you, people would think Dongjiang is a pigsty! Forget it, I don't bother to talk about you, the food brought back from the Japanese country has been disposed of?"

"Master Hui, not yet!"

The work is not finished, but this guy is still smiling. There is no way, this is the first time Dongjiang is so rich. Although the country of Japan also has a developed commodity economy, at its root, it is still a feudal agricultural country with a rice standard. The rice in the whole country is not concentrated. In the hands of the daimyo, that is, in the hands of the shogunate, there is no need for Dongjiang to go to the countryside to snatch it, just pack it.

After this trip, there were more than 200 million shi of rice!One stone is one hundred catties, two million stones is one hundred thousand tons, two hundred million catties, two catties of food per person, enough food for one year without doing anything in Dongjiang. Ever since Mao Wenlong built the town, Dongjiang has never been so rich In the past, the public granary could not hold it at all, and it was afraid that it would be damaged. For several months, the military pay and bounty were paid directly at the discounted price of rice, and the price of Dongjiang rice with them dropped a lot.

"At present, about 50 shi have been reserved, and another 80 shi has been distributed to the soldiers as military pay a few months in advance according to what the general said. The remaining 70 shi, the official plans to build Xinglong before the rainy season. Warehouse, stock up there!"

"No need! You pack up the food and pack it on the ship. I have already given the order to General Zhao, and it will be shipped back to Japan at the end of this month."

"What the general said is true, little one"

"General, what are you talking about, transporting it back to the country of Japan? You heard me right! This food, but we have exchanged our blood for it, and it will be held in the country of Japan, my God!"

That old face looked like Yang Bailao who had been robbed of his daughter by Huang Shiren, his smooth face twitched into bun folds, his flesh was so painful that he kept covering his chest, his thighs were squeezed together like a big girl, Full of sadness and confusion, Su Changmei exclaimed in disbelief.

The corners of Mao Jue’s mouth twitched several times in pain when he heard this, but he still waved his hands: “I hate that my child can’t be caught by a wolf, and my wife can’t catch a hooligan! If you tell you to clean up, you can clean it up. There’s so much nonsense here. !"

"General, Su was picked up by your old hand. Su has today, thanks to the gift of the general, and the salary of the food is a centimeter worry! Today, the general has no reason to convince Su, even if the general kills him Without Su, this granary will not be opened either!"

Unexpectedly, Fatty Su was still a direct minister, with such broad shoulders, Mao Jue couldn't even see the door behind him.It's a pity that Mao Jue didn't have the mind that Tang Taizong had in his early years, so he just hit him on the head with a dozen books.

"Hey, you are still pretending to be an iron rooster with this general. I can tell you. Does Guan Zhong know? This general will follow the way of Guan Zhong! If you don't use weapons, you will make the country mess up. You don't understand! Hurry down and do things for me Go! I've delayed my important business, I'll lock you up in the granary and starve you into a salted fish!"

Guan Zhong?who is it?

But I explained everything my master explained, and if I didn't understand it, I really couldn't blame others. Seeing Mao Jue's seriousness, I was really afraid that something important would be delayed. The fat man had to compromise, agreed sadly, turned around and went It was the ball that went downstairs.

Facing him, I happened to bump into an old acquaintance, Wen Meng, seeing him coming down, he had just finished his military duties, this guy went up and put his arms around Fatty Su's neck, shouting cheerfully.

"Let's go, Lao Su, go drink, I treat you!"

"Go, go, go, pretend that everyone is so idle with you! I have a general's military order, do you know Guan Zhong's way?"

"Guan Zhong? Who is it?"

"You don't even understand! You drink yours, I'm on a business trip!"

With a proud expression that your IQ crushes you, you don't even care that you are also confused, don't know anything, shaking your fat buttocks, Fatty Su swaggered out the door.

"This guy!"

The old man twitched and scratched his head. Wen Meng stretched out his hand and picked up the leader of his own soldiers. He stepped up and asked, "Tell me, who is Guan Zhong? Is he good at fighting?"

"General, you don't always know, how can the villain know?"

He was also going through needles with Zhang Fei, staring at each other. After being confused for a long time, the leader of the soldiers finally came up with an idea.

"General, it's really not possible. Let's go to Houshanjiang Academy to ask. Those scholars should know that since it is the order of the general, they may have to fight with this surname after a while. When the time comes, how much will you do, general?" If you know something, maybe the general will take our first regiment as soon as he is happy!"

"Hey, you're so smart!"

Wen Meng went up and gave him a big slap on the back of the head, and Wen Meng shouted excitedly: "I don't drink anymore, take a horse, I'm going to Dongjiang Academy!"

Wen Meng is really straight-hearted. This Su Changmei didn't walk for long, and his dozen or so horses also ran out of Tieyi General's Mansion. Mao Jue paid enough attention to education. If you go out here, there will be a straight road leading to the back mountain. Now, the students are out of class, and when he came in, he just happened to catch up with his drinking buddy, Shen Guangzuo's nephew Shen Kangda, who came out of the classroom with a few books.

God knows how Wen Meng made friends with this sour scholar, and the moment his eyes lit up, the guy grabbed Shen Kangda's long sleeves.

"Hey, Xiucai Xiucai, I have an urgent matter, please tell me quickly, Guan Zhong is that green onion, is he good at beating?"

"Hoho! Wenjiugui, you bastard is actually easy to learn!"

It was an expression like an elephant falling from the sky, but it is a common problem of these sour scholars to be good teachers. After a moment of amazement, this guy enthusiastically tugged Wenmeng's sleeves.

"The general supervised the establishment of the Dongjiang Academy, and even his generals came to study. Dongjiang is really a place where literary style prevails. Come with Shen. No matter what happens today, Shen must solve the confusion of literary drunkards!"
