Beiyang new warlord

It was also early in the morning, and the soldiers artillery battalion cursed the eighth generation ancestors of Jinlian again, reassembled the cannon mounts, and the seven red barbarian cannons pointed at the blue sky again, and on the rushing Yalu River, more than 20 cannons The big boat pulled the heavy cargo and crossed the river again. On the other side, those Zhenghongqi Jurchens who had built camps also rode to welcome them.

The two sides did not fight at all, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. They met in a wooden fence that was less than 50 meters away from the river.

Time seems to have returned to before Nurhachi's Seven Great Hatreds launched their troops. Merchants under Mao Jue put southern goods, cloth, etc., especially jars of wine, on the shelves, and Xie brought all kinds of mountain goods The post-gold Eight Banners Jurchens are also yelling and exchanging at various stalls. Specialties such as ginseng, mink fur, Liao horses, and Ulacao have been exchanged for cloth, iron pots, needles and threads, tea and other goods from the Han people, but they are exchanged here. The biggest commodity is still shochu.

The special entrustment of the heads of the banners was also coated in the same way as the previous four days. The thousand jars of corn liquor shipped in today were all rounded up by them in less than an hour. Domestically, even in the Mongolian grasslands, it is a bestseller.

The shiny silver, the spoils looted by the post-jin men from the pass, also began to fall into Mao Jue's pocket little by little.

However, a well-developed commodity exchange still cannot avoid some espionage activities. Zhenghuan, who was shouting in the market, suddenly stuffed a heavy silver coin into the hands of a certain fat man.

"Brother, why did you go on strike for a day? Also, was it very lively at your place last night? It seemed like there was a fight?"

Weighing the heavy silver with a fat face, he immediately laughed and said the words like a string of beads.

"Yesterday! Hey, I don't know which deputy commander in Dongjiang is full and full, so he came to check, no, the generals were so scared that they quickly took it away!"

Mimi, who was smiling all over her eyes, got up and Su Changmei picked Thumb behind her again, and said hey.

"As for last night, it was quite noisy. Our Yizhou general slaughtered pigs to reward the army. Don't you know that there were more than 1 pigs slaughtered together! That scene, the old nose was spectacular!"

"More than 1 pigs?"

The Jurchen spy who was fooled for a moment stared round his eyes.

Carts of unsalable glutinous rice shochu disappeared, and the silver in exchange was piled up in Mao Jue's treasury, filling boxes one by one. People don't care about selling war horses to the Ming army. Anyway, in their opinion, the Ming army's cavalry is too ordinary, which just makes Mao Jue fat.After eight days of trading, more than 4000 taels of silver came into the account. Including the capture of Zhenglan Qi, this year's military pay is almost enough, and if this trend continues, Mao Jue's financial resources are estimated to be enough to recruit another eight Hundreds of soldiers.

Moreover, Jinlian’s defeated soldiers were caught more than 5000 along the way. These guys are good coolies, no matter how confused they are, dozens of people pulled carts from the volcano of Iron Mountain to pull volcanic ash and lime. Burn it, and then cut wood for Mao Jue to build a fortress. The fortresses in the six dangerous places in Yizhou on Mao Jue's strategic map began to be slowly erected.

The most precious wealth in this troubled world, safety! It also slowly descended on the land of Yizhou.It seems that the life of counting money and living a quiet life is slowly waving to Mao Jue.

But before Mao Jue stopped for a few days, he had to go back to Tieshan again.

"Father, why are you here?"

Thousands of cavalry are tensely setting up the military town below Tieshan City, and more large teams are moving down from Tieshan Port. It seems that all the main forces of Dongjiang Town have been moved here. He had been waiting there for a long time, looking at his stern back, not knowing why, Mao Jue hurried forward, fisted and bowed.

"Nie Zi, are you okay!"

Turning around hastily, seeing that Mao Jue was whole with no missing arms or broken legs, Mao Wenlong seemed relieved, but immediately, his tone became hurried again.

"How is the war in Yizhou? Can the city be lost? How many troops did Jiannu come and where did they go?"

This question really made Mao Jue shake his head in astonishment.

"Father, what are you talking about? Yizhou is fine! Jiannu didn't even call, that's right, it's the boy who opened a small border market!"

With a guilty smile, Mao Jue stretched out two fingers and made a small gesture as much as possible.

"There is no war? The army of North Korea's Tokaido was defeated. King Ren asked the imperial court for emergency. Sixty thousand Jianzhou cavalry had crossed the Yalu River. Yanyizhou had fallen. I begged the imperial court to send a large army to rescue! What's going on?"

Confused by what he heard, Mao Wenlong yelled out in astonishment, and Mao Jue, who was yelling, felt guilty again, and sadly hurriedly told the whole story of how he had put Jinlian together a few days ago.

"When it comes to the court, the matter is getting a little big, what should I do?"

I didn't expect this golden rod to be able to scream, and it went to the court. I didn't expect to stab Lou Zi. Mao Jue was a bit numb, but seeing him at a loss, he was angry and funny, and Mao Wenlong slapped him. It was shot on his forehead.

"Niezi, it's such a big deal, why don't you talk to me first!"

"Father, it's not time to worry about this. If the imperial court sends reinforcements over, it will all be exposed. Give me an idea!"

Once again, with his hands behind his back, he pretended to turn around and looked to the north. In the midst of Mao Jue's urgency, Mao Wenlong actually laughed and hummed.

"It's not necessarily a bad thing to make a big fuss! Since these aliens are restless, take this opportunity, I have to give them some color!"

There was a cold murderous intent in the dark tone, Mao Jue couldn't help shivering when he heard it, the hairs on his back rose

Chapter 90. Why bother her brother?

The matter is really serious! One hair will affect the whole body, just ended the change already, the war outside the customs has once again affected the tense heartstrings of the big bosses in the court, the emergency battle report of North Korea will be sent on April [-]th Da Ningyuan, [-] miles away, was rushed to the capital on the [-]th. The Chongzhen Emperor, who was tortured by the post-disaster reconstruction, almost fell off the dragon chair.

However, Daming is really interested in the younger brother of Lee's North Korea. There is a saying that goes well, even if he is bitten by a mosquito, he even scratches others.This is the portrayal of the Ming Empire today. After the fire was fired, the emperor and the cabinet strictly ordered Sun Yuanhua, the governor of Shandong, to go to the sea to aid Liao, and ordered Sun Chengzong, who had just recovered the four cities of Zunhua and was still arranging the defense of Jizhen, to go to his post as soon as possible. , launched an offensive in Jinzhou to contain Jiannu.

As for the imperial decree to Mao Wenlong and Mao Jue, it was even more severe, and the tone was as if Dongjiang Town was not raised by his own mother. He would rather Mao Jue and the others die than save North Korea.

But Daming is a huge monster like a huge crab. Although it hurts to pinch people with the pliers, it moves very slowly. It takes more than ten days to travel from Shandong to Liaodong Peninsula. Moreover, it takes more than a month for Sun Yuanhua to prepare for the troops. Yes, as for Sun Chengzong, the journey is even further.

In the entire battlefield, only Dongjiang Town "faithfully" carried out the imperial court's orders all the way.

The sturdy Liao horse neighed and raised its hooves, stirring up smoke and dust in the sky below the city. From time to time, arrows all over the sky were constantly thrown at the top of the city, lying on the edge. Lee's North Korea has only three to four million people. Jinlian lost more than 400 soldiers in Uiju, and there are more balloons in the Hwanghae Road.

The four gates were closed tightly, and the Koryo defenders on the Fucheng didn't dare to open the gates to fight, so they let these "Huqi" arrogantly show off their power under their noses, but it seemed that there was no way to hold the city. Hundreds of "Jian slaves" looked down at the city, and the rest scattered to the north, east, and south. Within a moment, puffs of thick black smoke rose from the ground, and there were mournful cries. The screams before dying, the whole earth seemed to be shaking.

The looting lasted for almost three days, and in front of the Pyongyang defenders, they drove away a total of [-] to [-] Koreans who had been looted. These Jian slaves swaggered and continued to march southeast.

Seeing the sky full of Hu cavalry smoke and dust, the wind and smoke went straight into the Wujin River, the North Pingan Road defense made Zheng Dao's forehead sweat beads flowing down like a small stream, his face was sallow, and he sat slumped on the ground with straight eyes.

"It's over! The Eastern Sea Road is empty! This Jianu is about to approach Wang Jing!"

"Why don't you fight against the city and buy some time for the king?"

I don't know which stunned head said this more, but in an instant, dozens of big figures on the top of the city all swiped and stared at him.

Watching Jiannu go away, maybe he can get a meritorious service in protecting the city afterwards. If he goes out to fight in the city and the city falls, his wife and children will not be kept. Convicted and exiled or even lost his head.

Why bother?

The defenders from all over the country just watched thousands of cavalry kill them like this, turning the northern part of Huanghai Road into a piece of scorched earth, but within a few days, another mighty army descended on the city of Pyongyang.

The vast majority of this army is mainly infantry, and it also carries cannons. There are no less than [-] people. Beside the fiery red flag with Ming characters, a domineering Mao character is blown violently by the strong wind.

"Who is below?"

On the top of the city, the North Korean soldiers who hadn't dared to go down the city for four days yelled tremblingly. Following his yell, the army that was advancing like a tide stopped suddenly, and immediately a bearded man with full sideburns was driving a fierce horse. , Arrogantly walked to the city.

"Shuai Mao of Dongjiang Town, lead the Great Tomorrow Army to come to support, open the city quickly!"

Decades ago, such an army arrived at the city of Pyongyang, and after a bloody battle, it took it back from the hands of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. To this day, we can still see the traces left by that battle on the city wall. But today, Mao Wenlong didn't have that much face and went to the city with honor. The Dongjiang army was still rejected and had to camp on the edge of the city.

However, these Korean men did not dare to offend Mao Wenlong, and the local aristocratic families in the city had to spend money, grain, and livestock to work in the army.

There are young and strong troops from Goryeo moving things to the barracks everywhere, and the Ming soldiers from Phi Island are also unceremoniously accepting them all. Even Mao Jue's barracks have piled up a lot.

Seeing that more than a dozen boxes of Silla's unique colored satin filled his Chinese military camp, and there were two big pancake faces, and the natural Korean "beauties" who had not undergone plastic surgery smiled at him, the corners of Mao Jue's mouth couldn't help twitching with.

As expected of being killed out of the troubled times, he himself can pretend to be a tiger, and use the Jiannu on the other side of the Yalu River to scare the young Jinlian, but it is his old man Mao Wenlong who wants to play big.
