Moreover, Mao Wenlong's Phi Island ran out of food, so he invited the prison army to enter the island.

The imperial court set up a capital prison office, and Wang Tiqian, the left military supervisor, entered the sea from Tianjin and personally landed on the island.

After returning to the court, Wang Tiqian reported everything he saw and heard to Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Apocalypse, and even exaggerated a little, which had obvious meaning.

Later, the imperial court delivered two successive batches of grain to Phi Dao.

The first batch was Chen Jisheng, a general from Zhenjiang who came to offer prisoners, who brought back nearly 40,000 stone of military rations from Beijing.

When Chen Jisheng rushed back, it coincided with Mang Gurtai, the son of the slave chief Nurhachi, who led the blue flag to attack the island.

Mao Wenlong defended the island and fought, waiting for the slave soldiers to arrive, and the sharp cannons were fired in unison, even if the old slaves were in person, they could not do anything.

The Dongjiang army defeated several slave soldiers and killed countless slaves, but it suffered from insufficient food and salaries and could not expand the results of the war.

The 40,000 stone of military rations, two meals a day, is enough for more than 10,000 Dongjiang troops on the island to eat for more than a month.

Naturally, Mao Wenlong was used to being nervous, and suddenly there were so many military rations, and he didn't know if there would be the next batch.

So he ordered that one more meal be added to the previous two-day meal, and it would become one meal a day.

In addition, half of this batch of grain from Beijing was also allocated by Mao Wenlong to take care of the Liao people who came to vote, which basically alleviated the dilemma of the Dongjiang Army's lack of food.

It didn't take long for the second batch to arrive.

This second batch did not come from the port of Tianjin, but from Shandong.

The two prefectures of Denglai, facing each other across the sea from Liaozuo, received the holy oracle Yuan Keli, since he took office as the governor of Denglai, he has been collecting grain everywhere.

As soon as the grain was ready, he escorted the grain from Penglai Water City onto the ship and sent it to Phi Island in the starry night.

The batch shipped by Yuan Keli was enough for 120,000 stones.

Previously, although Mao Wenlong had been hit hard and the day was not in danger, but now that the food was sufficient, he took the initiative to attack the slave camp several times, and the Manggultai siege of the island failed, and the soldiers retreated.

After that, the old slave received the news from Quang Ninh and led a large number of Houjin soldiers to rush away, leaving only Mang Gurtai stationed in Yiju, North Korea, closely watching Mao Wenlong's movements.

After Mao Wenlong led the army back to the island, he obtained a large number of materials and equipment from the Houjin army, and immediately began to reorganize the armament and organize the remnants of the army.

Since ancient times, those who are in charge of the army hate the prison army the most, and they are afraid of their constraints and slander.

Last year, Mao Wenlong invited himself to supervise the army and invited his ministers to supervise the sea, so as to block the mouth of the imperial court and avoid the accumulation of collarbones, which not only calmed the emperor's heart, but also made the situation on the island known to the emperor.

From this point of view, this has at least turned the island from a dangerous situation to a safe one.

On the same day, Mao Wenlong led Wang Tiqian, the left military supervisor on the island, to inspect the battalions and explain his plan to send troops to attack Jinzhou.

Back in the Chinese military tent, Mao Wenlong invited a pony milk wine.

In the past, he was hit by an arrow in his left arm in the battle to resist the Japanese and aid Korea, and it was still difficult to lift the lamp.

I only heard him say: "Except for the barrenness, there is nothing to entertain the left military supervisor, and today I can only replace tea with wine." ”

Wang Tiqian hesitated for a moment, received it in his hand and was about to drink it all, drank half a cup, but covered his mouth and couldn't drink it anymore.

Mare's milk wine, which has been in the inner court for a long time, only feels sour after eating, and after a while, it feels a little fishy.

This kind of taste made him frown, shook his head and smiled: "This thing, our family is really not used to drinking it." ”

Mao Wenlong kept watching, and when he learned this, he was not reluctant.

Mao Chenglu, the adopted son sitting beside him, was only promoted to the deputy chief soldier of Zhenjiang because of his merits this year.

He stood in his youth, wandered with Mao Wenlong for many years, his face was black and red, his eyes were like torches, and he never had a good impression of the internal official, even if this internal official helped them with the military and civilians of the whole island.

Wang Tiqian put it down, and Mao Chenglu raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup.

"Your Majesty said that it is not easy for the general to support overseas, work alone and loyal, and provide for food and misfortune for a long time. At this age, the imperial court will make up all the food and wages owed by Dongjiang Town. ”

"Is that really what the emperor said...?" Mao Wenlong's always calm face became a little excited, he drank the mare's milk wine in his hand, and said:

"Emperor Shengming, I, Mao Wenlong, died without regrets!"

He added: "In the past, Han Xin was in the back of the water, and he was born after death. There are 17,000 Liao soldiers, who are not afraid of wind and rain, hunger and cold, and are all good sons who are hard-working and good at fighting. ”

"Under the jurisdiction of the office, each of them has the heart of serving the country with death, and after containing the slaves for the king, now that they have received food and salary, they should forge ahead and recover the land."

"Get the map!"

As he spoke, Mao Chenglu spread out a rough map in front of Mao Wenlong and others, pointed to a place, and said:

"This is Uiju, in the territory of the Korean country, at this time, Mang Gurtai led the blue flag, and he was stationed here, doing all kinds of evil, and eyeing my Phi Island."

"What my father means is that the army will leave the island tonight, march day and night, attack Yizhou, and take Gurtai by surprise."

As he spoke, Mao Chenglu showed a chilling smile: "The best thing is to send Mang Gurtai's head back to the old slave!" ”

"Hahaha!"

"I think that this time that reckless Gurtai is in a catastrophe!"

"After eating the emperor's grain, you have to do things for the emperor!"

"Let's first capture the old slave's daughter in a war, and then cut off his son in a war, I heard that the old slave suffers from an old disease, and this is still angry that he won't die?"

"If this is still angry, then cut another one, there are many old slaves and sons, and our knives are also sharp!"

When the generals of the Dongjiang Army talked about fighting on the island, they were all very confident, and the Jurchens who seemed to ordinary people to be very fierce and good at fighting were like toys in their eyes.

"Chenglu is right, that's what I think." Mao Wenlong also got up, and Mao Chenglu immediately sat down and joined the ranks.

At this time, Wang Tiqian frowned: "Have you read the general of the Guangning line report?" ”

"I've seen it myself."

"The imperial court is in trouble, my Dongjiang army is deeply favored by the emperor, and I can't help but save the west, and Wang Huazhen's ability in Guangning is not as good as Xiong Jinglue."

"Right now, Guangning's troops are scattered, and they can hold it for a few days, and we have all the troops outside!"

When Mao Wenlong said this, he deliberately glanced at Wang Tiqian's complexion, and found that there was not much change, so he said confidently:

"At this moment, the main force of the slaves and thieves was taken to Guangning by the old slaves, Xiong Jing worked hard to support Liaoyang, and there were only more than 10,000 blue flag armor soldiers and tens of thousands of fake slave soldiers in the department of Namang Gurtai, which was not vulnerable at all!"

"Mang Gurtai's head is going to be given to the emperor to repay the great kindness!"

Wang Tiqian still felt unreliable in his heart, since the army was raised in Liaodi, he had more defeats than victories against Shangjianu.

More than 10,000 real slaves, tens of thousands of fake slaves, a total of tens of thousands of troops, more than 10,000 Dongjiang troops can win?

"The general is talking to our family." After thinking for a while, Wang Tiqian got up and said, "Before the emperor left the palace, he asked our family not to point fingers at the war. ”

"The general's words came out this time, and our family listened to it, and respected it in our hearts, but it is really not good to say much about the war, and it is all up to the general to decide."

Wang Tiqian's words made Mao Chenglu, who was originally worried about the constraints of the prison army, secretly relieved in his heart, and his look in the past eased a lot.

At this time, Wang Tiqian raised the mare's milk wine again and said: "Our family can't come to the battle in person, so we can only give the general a word." ”

Mao Wenlong hurriedly said: "Zuo Bingjian, please speak!" ”

Without waiting for Wang Tiqian to speak, the generals paid attention.

"The tiger rides out of the island, and the momentum is thundering!" After Wang Tiqian finished speaking, he drank all the mare's milk wine and said with a smile:

"I wish the general victory in the first battle!"
