Beiyang new warlord

"In that case, go and tell Adelaine in the afternoon that you don't need to ask for leave every time. I will give her a long vacation. When will it be better? Come out by yourself! Drive!"

Obviously heard the anger in Mao Jue's words, and wanted to speak a few words to persuade Yuan Yuan, but Mao Jue had already slammed the reins, and walked into the fort first. He pulled the horse's rein and rushed up.

In addition to the soldiers in Jeju Island Town, there were thousands of ordinary soldiers who followed Shen Shikui to the town. After the establishment of Jeju Island Town, these people and the Shandong refugees sent by Mao Jue successively added more than 2. This time Only the local soldiers from Jeju Island were dispatched for the expedition, and these reserve troops did not move. Dongjiang's three military strongholds on Jeju Island were completely guarded by them.

Seeing a large number of soldiers and horses entering the fort, Shen Yi, the guard who stayed behind, greeted them anxiously and excitedly, and knelt down on the ground suddenly.

"Greetings, General, Military Lord! You are back!"

Turning over and getting off the horse, the reins of the horse were thrown into his hand casually, Mao Jue hummed with a gloomy expression.

"Talk while you walk!"

To be honest, glass is really not suitable for this war-torn era. Once reduced to a battlefield, there is no need for trebuchets, artillery fire and the like to hit directly, relying on huge vibrations, the earthquake will also shatter these fragile and expensive things Yes, but each of the main town forts in the three forts of Jeju Island has a huge glass window installed. Looking down from the glass window of the highest tower of the West Sea Fort Command Center in the main fort, most of Jeju City including Jeju City The island town came into view impressively.

Pacing on the wooden floor with his hands behind his back and military boots thumping, Mao Jue's brows were really frowned, and the two rows of senior officers headed by Shen Shikui stood at attention with their hands behind their backs, each of them looked a little worried.

Listening to Shen Yi's report, this matter is still troublesome. The people who burned Jeju City and Linxian County in the southeast of the island were not some unscrupulous Japanese pirates, but the friendly army who just fought side by side a while ago, Li Shanhai of the Lee Dynasty The regular army has just been established for two years.

"September [-]th, Li Chaoying rioted and besieged Tamna County. There was chaos for eleven days, and then he went north to Jeju City and burned more than half of more than [-] villages in three counties and nine towns in Jeju. Return to Nanhai Fort, and only withdrew three days ago."

In general, he reported the situation in recent days. At the end of the day, Shen Yi added a sentence.

"However, General, Lord Shen, the Li family's Korean rebellious army has done nothing to our Dongjiang army. Within ten miles of the Three Forts of the Dongjiang River, even if some rich people from the Li Dynasty escaped, they would never pursue them. I am in Tunzhuang. No one harassed them."

"Tch, lend them courage!"

In the front row of generals, Wen Meng snorted disdainfully. Among the officers, Shen Shikui, who was mature and prudent, still had a gloomy face and asked solemnly.

"Have you ever sent a messenger to Wang Jiu?"

"Wang Jing's courier was intercepted in Quanzhou, and the soldier Cao Youpan Lang Jin Guangyan sent them back, saying that Jeju Island is the land of Dongjiang Town, and everything can be reported to the general!"

"Li Shanhai is an old bastard!"

With a bang, Mao Jue smashed the purple clay pot on the table hard to the ground. His face was twisted and he cursed violently, while the entire officer corps was silent.

No wonder Mao Jue was annoyed, this Li family's North Korean diet was too ugly, the main battles of this war against Japan were almost all fought by Dongjiang, although Li Chao did not get the indemnity from the shogunate in the end, but he plundered Shikoku Island and added a In Jiyi Peninsula, Li Shanhai didn't share the things here with Mao Jue, and he definitely got a lot of things.

However, Li Chao showed his true ruthlessness. Almost all of these trophies were transported back to the peninsula and transported to Wangjing. Except for about 3 supervisors composed of middle-class people and nobles, and the gentry children of the civil and military classes, the rest More than 20 Lee's North Korean regular troops were thrown here, not to mention the first-level meritorious service of [-] taels per head this time, even if there is no cotton-padded clothes for the winter, these troops composed of untouchables are really abandoned here .

It is true that there are political considerations in this. Li Shanhai is appointed as the ruler of the mansion, and he is about to enter the government and serve as the right government. Grabbing the military power with one hand has always been the way to death, not to mention that there is a leader whose political status is threatened Jin Zidian, and the Western People's Party, which is dissatisfied with the growth of the Southern People's Party, is eyeing it like a tiger, but the army of more than 3 countries is just thrown here to fend for itself.

And now the Jeju Island military formation has become a place where grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love. Li Shanhai tried his best to disregard his relationship with Chang Jun, and Cao Banlang Jin Guangyan, a soldier from the Western People's Party, didn't want to take over this hot mess. Yam, push it back and forth, it's the shit pot, it's left on Mao Jue's nose to disgust him.

He still wants to build this place into a new international port in Northeast Asia. With such a rebellious army entrenched here, what will Mao Jue use to build the port and attract merchants?

While Mao Jue was roaring angrily, Song Xiance resolutely knocked on the glass again, and looked down, Mao Jue's face became even more contorted.

It's really troublesome to come to the door. Watching him come back, Jeju City, which has been locked up for a long time, suddenly opened up. If it is as expected, it should be Jeju Mu Pu Changli who brought the cavalry to the door.

When Mao Jue established the town of Jeju Island, the old guy ordered the people of the Li Dynasty in Jeju Island not to contact Dongjiang, let alone help them work. Because of this old guy, Nanhai Fort moved a few miles to the east. At this juncture, Mao Jue came to wipe his ass and hug his thigh again. No wonder Mao Jue was in a good mood.

"Damn! Close the castle gate for me!"

He also punched the glass with his fist, and Mao Jue hummed angrily.

Shen Shikui got off the boat one after another, carrying the booty brought back from the Japanese kingdom, humming a little tune comfortably, and going back to each place, everyone has, the income of a small hundred taels, the Shen family's soldiers have never been so rich, hum With a ditty, many people plan to have a fat year.

On the other side of the boat, the Dongjiang Tieyi soldiers who have not yet arrived home, and the sailors from Phi Island are quite envious and humming. It will take a week or two for them to return to their hometown, and not all of them can return. At home, I have to wait for the rotation.

Dongjiang's sergeant didn't know, maybe their vacation was more likely to be dragged into the distance, or the Xihaibao headquarters, behind the big glass window, Mao Jue sat at the big desk with a gloomy face, had been taken by Dongjiang The scouts built a huge and accurate sand table in front of him, and small flags were planted on the island like he was playing checkers with a gloomy face.

bang bang

Suddenly there was a light knock on the door, Mao Jue didn't raise his head, and just threw it away with a word.

"Unlocked!"

With a creak, Adelena, who was completely Chinese in wearing a mink jacket and a long skirt, walked in hurriedly. She probably brought Mao Liying's words. rushed over.

It's just that the foreign girl's complexion seemed to be a little pale and stern. She walked to the edge of the table in a hurry, looked at the sand table, and said worriedly.

"The general wants to attack Li Chaojun on Jeju Island?"

Already used to her as a staff officer, Mao Jue said without raising his head while planting the flag upwards and deducing the battle situation.

"Jeju Island is too important! Li Shanhaijin ordered the two bastards to let go of them. I can't just sit back and ignore them. They are making trouble here! Where is the Dutch East India Company?"

"It's just a few barbarians. Isn't Daming always expelled from the country? Why should the general care?"

Mao Jue raised his eyes from the sand table in astonishment, and Adelaine's heart jumped suddenly, and she lowered her head again.

But after looking at her for a few seconds, Mao Jue didn't say much, just pressed his fingers on the table and talked to himself.

"The 30-year war is coming to an end. As far as I know, the Netherlands is one of the victorious countries. For at least the next 50 years, the Dutch East India Company will be a potential stock in Southeast Asia!"

"Controlling Jeju Island has become the anchorage of the Dutch East India Company in Northeast Asia, radiating Shandong, Liaodong, Nuergandusi, Lee's Korea, and Waguo here. It will also become an important partner and ally of the company, and even if possible, it will also return Find a way to buy shares, and use these to share the dividends of this war."

This year, an Eastern bureaucrat or warlord wants to invest in a Western company or chamber of commerce. It cannot be said that there is no one before, at least no one in the future. Even Adelaine widened her lake blue almond eyes in astonishment. Immediately, a bit of self-deprecation surfaced slightly, as the woman next to Mao Jue, and as his think tank for a long time, Adelaina kind of forgot what kind of man she was serving, the question that made her grit her teeth angrily but also feared The shadow of the word "God go" resurfaced in her mind again.

After a pause, Adelaine shook her head slightly.

"General, it's not wise to move the Li family's Korean regular army. After all, not only the adults saw the role of the Li Dynasty army in the two battles, but also those idiots in Wang Jing. Now they let it go, but they will never let it go. It will be seen that the adults annex this army, and by then, Dongjiang and Lee's North Korea will have endless disputes, and may even cause a rift in the alliance."

"Unless, my lord is willing to be pitted in vain!"

The corners of Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help twitching, analyzing the political situation, the whole Dongjiang, even Yuan Chonghuan is not as good as this foreign girl, God knows where her talent comes from, if she wants to put down the chaos on Jeju Island, the core goal is naturally to solve this chaos army, But according to Adelaine's reasoning, Mao Jue really had to consider the possibility that Li's Joseon would come to pick peaches after he took out the silver reward and reorganized the equipment. , It's so possible!

Do you want to destroy this army?Regardless of the cost, Dongjiang will also form a bridge with Lee's North Korea, and the gain outweighs the loss.

Composed of [-] to [-] untouchables, Li Chaochang's army, who doesn't even have a marshal now, has really become a chestnut in the fire, untouchable!

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The comparison now is who can stand it! After all, it is Li's North Korea's own troops. Wang Jing can't watch them collapse in the mutiny and cause chaos. The general doesn't need it either." Too much action, just squeeze out some leftovers and get them through the winter!"

"That's the only way!"

Sighing, and suddenly laughing at himself, Mao Jue casually threw the flag in his hand onto the sand table, but the next sentence made Adelaina's face change slightly.

"It looks like we have to drag those Dutch red noses to Phi Island!"

Chapter 3 and Four. The Declining Ming Dynasty

It’s a bit like helping the poor. The Dongjiang Army’s military uniforms, dirty field quilts, and some messy things have been collected in this battle. .

Although they are all rotten and there is not much food, but for the hungry and cold, especially the cold Lee's North Korean army, it is tantamount to sending charcoal in the snow.
