The data on the Liaodong Army in the Hubu Shangshu Bi Ziyan Xin aroused Zhang Bin's interest, and after Bi Maokang and Cai Shanji left, he read it several times again and wanted to analyze the specific situation of the various armies in Liaodong.

Looking at it, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

This Mao Wenlong is looking for death, where is the 100,000 army in his hands!

Why did Yuan Chonghuan kill Mao Wenlong, this question has always been a hot topic among Ming fans, and Zhang Bin still vaguely remembers the twelve major crimes listed by Yuan Chonghuan to Mao Wenlong, but many of these crimes are actually untenable.

Yuan Chonghuan used these messy excuses to kill an important general who had held back Houjin for more than ten years, which is quite puzzling.

For example, if one person controls Dongjiang Town, the army, horses, money and food are not subject to verification, and one should be killed.

This is quite far-fetched, since you Yuan Chonghuan thinks that Mao Wenlong can't manage Dongjiang Town alone, then you can send someone.

If Mao Wenlong disagrees, or drives the person he sent away, you immediately warn him that disagreeing is a capital crime, which is about the same.

If you don't send it, or if people don't agree with it, you won't send it, and then it will be directly listed as a capital crime, which is simply punishment without teaching, how can anyone be so a leader.

Also, deceiving the king, all the recitals are fake, killing the surrendered soldiers and refugees, pretending to be war exploits, and the second should be killed.

This is a bit excessive, if Mao Wenlong is not for his outstanding military achievements, how could he be promoted to the general army of Pingliao, the governor of the left capital.

Also, it is possible to kill the Houjin soldiers who surrendered, but it is absolutely impossible to kill the refugees, if he wants to do this, how can he stay in the rear of Liaodong, the civilians of Liaodong have not sold him earlier.

Also, the traffic enemy country, saying that it is easy to garrison troops in Dengzhou to take the southern capital, and it is a big rebellion, and the three should be killed.

This is obviously Mao Wenlong's trick of deception, he deceived a Gushan Ezhen who is second only to the banner owner, and sent it to the capital to be slaughtered after being trapped.

In addition, hundreds of thousands of dollars of silver are paid every year, and they are not distributed to soldiers, and only three and a half buckets of rice are distributed every month, and military rations are embezzled, and four should be killed.

He should be talking nonsense, if Mao Wenlong is really like this, will his soldiers still give him hard work.

Also, opening a horse market on Phi Island without authorization, and interacting with foreigners without permission, should be killed.

This really shouldn't be, but considering the importance of Dongjiang Town, Yuan Chonghuan should warn him and let him withdraw the horse market, instead of killing people directly, which is also a bit of a taste of untaught punishment.

Also, thousands of generals pretended to be your surname, and the deputy generals and below were all randomly distributed to thousands of cloth horses, and the pawns and sedan chairmen were all wearing official uniforms and robes, and six should be killed.

This should also be nonsense, thousands of people in the Dongjiang Army claim to be surnamed Mao, so how popular he is!

There are also rewards for the following lieutenants to distribute thousands of cloth horses at will, this is a way for people to win people's hearts, why should they be killed?

There are also pawns and sedan chair men who are wearing official uniforms and robes, which should also be nonsense.

Also, on the way back from Ningyuan, he plundered merchant ships and became a thief himself, and he should be killed.

This is a bit funny, the Ming Dynasty implemented a sea ban, and only dozens of ships were allowed to go to sea to do business, and they were not allowed to go north to traffic to the south.

Mao Wenlong must have encountered a pirate smuggling maritime merchant, and people might want to rob Mao Wenlong's merchant ships, so the two sides fought, how can it be said that the pirates are justified and Mao Wenlong should be killed!

Also, forcibly marrying a folk woman, ignorant of the law and discipline, and his subordinates followed suit, making the people uneasy at home, and they should be killed.

This is also a bit exaggerated, Phi Island is a desert island, where do the people come from, even if there are ordinary people, in the case of Houjin Huan, it is too late for them to tie up Mao Wenlong.

Also, drive the refugees to help you dig ginseng from afar, and those who don't obey will starve to death, and the island is full of bones, and nine should be killed.

This is a bit unreasonable, ginseng is not all over the ground, this ginseng can be dug up, can you not find wild fruits or something, how can you starve to death.

Besides, knowing that he would be starved to death by Mao Wenlong, wouldn't he pretend to agree to find ginseng, and then take the opportunity to escape, why would he starve himself to death?

Also, send gold to Jingshi in a car, bribe Wei Zhongxian, and sculpt a portrait of his coronation crown on the island, ten should be killed.

He Yuan Chonghuan himself built a shrine for Wei Zhongxian, so it was a bit ignorant to attack Mao Wenlong.

Also, Tieshan was defeated in the first battle, and countless teachers were lost, but he covered up the defeat and made it a success, and he should be killed.

In the battle of Tieshan, Mao Wenlong was wiped out by the Houjin general Qierharang, Yuan Chonghuan didn't comfort him, and he talked about this, which was a bit too boring.

Also, after eight years of establishing a town, you can't recover an inch of land, sit on the ground and watch, tolerate and raise the enemy, and twelve should be killed

This Yuan Chonghuan is a bit difficult for a strong man, Mao Wenlong is harassing in the rear of others, and he has to defend it even if he recovers the territory, can he carry the crazy attack of the entire Houjin alone!

Originally, Zhang Bin never understood why Yuan Chonghuan suddenly ran to kill Mao Wenlong, but now he understands that it is because of the salary.

The main forces of Liaodong, the Liaodong Army and the Guanning Army, have only reported a total of 150,000, and you have reported 100,000 yuan for harassment in the rear of others, isn't this a robbery!

The food and salary issued by the imperial court is not enough, if it is divided according to this reporting ratio, you Mao Wenlong alone swallows the food and salary of tens of thousands of people, but the Liaodong Army and the Guanning Army can't eat enough, embezzling the food and salary, and causing the main force in Liaodong to have nothing to eat, if you don't kill you, who will you kill!

This Mao Wenlong is too greedy, if he doesn't know how to restrain himself, he can't save him, Yuan Chonghuan will definitely do everything to kill him, the biggest "moth" in Liaodong.

This guy, it seems that he really has to teach him how to be a person, it just so happens that during this time, Mao Wenlong's efficiency in stealing people from Liaodong seems to be getting lower and lower, and he still wants to ask him what's going on.

Zhang Bin decided to go to Phi Dao in person to persuade Mao Wenlong and let him not be greedy, otherwise, when Yuan Chonghuan became ruthless, he would die.

If there was no steamship transformed by wheels, Zhang Bin naturally did not dare to go to Phi Dao to find Mao Wenlong without permission, because Dongfan was too far away from Phi Dao, and it would take at least half a month to go back and forth by sailboat, and if he was unlucky, it would be possible for him to go back and forth for more than a month or even two or three months, and he, as the governor of a province, would definitely not be able to stay in Fujian for such a long time.

However, with a steamer, it is different, a round trip only takes four or five days, and it is not much of a problem to run once.

After explaining to his family and the officials of the governor's yamen, he set off on two ships with a group of guards.

The two steamers he used were new wheels that had been modified, and from bow to stern were a cabin, and the steamer was operated in a separate compartment, in which the boiler and the frame for storing firewood and charcoal were made square, and the area was not large, and the operator could even sit down.

If the cabin in front of you is squeezed, it is no problem to seat forty people, but the one Zhang Bin is still specially made, and there is even a square table in the middle, and more than 20 guards can sit on both sides, and the two ships are just with nearly sixty guards.

He didn't rush directly to Phi Dao, but went to Dongfan Defender Chicken Coop Harbor halfway.

From the avant-garde of the East to the Jilong Port of the East Guard, a total of more than 600 miles, starting at the hour, about a quarter of noon to arrive.

At this time, all the 10,000 elites of the Qi family army are stationed here for training, and the weapons and equipment are almost complete, only about half of the Wuhan Iron and Steel vehicles are still missing, and even more than 80 renovated wheels and more than 40 newly built wheels are also all parked in Jilong Harbor on standby.

After coming to Jilong Harbor, he did not stop long, but directly ordered 5,000 soldiers of the Qi family army to take five days' dry rations on 125 wheeled ships and follow him to Phi Dao, in order to protect his own safety, but also to do an emergency support drill in the capital.

The journey went smoothly, without encountering any unscrupulous pirates or major storms, and around the afternoon of the third day, a group of 127 wheels finally arrived at the pier of Phi Dao.

Originally, according to the distance, they should have arrived before noon, but all the sailors who set up ships were not familiar with the waterway north of Dengzhouwei, and there were no Mao Wenlong's subordinates to guide them, so they could only look for the map, and it took more than an hour to find the specific location of Phi Dao.

There was no telephone communication at this time, and Mao Wenlong didn't know that Zhang Bin would come, more than 100 wheels suddenly appeared near the pier on Phi Dao, which frightened the defenders on the pier, and when the Qi family army boarded the dock, it even caused a confrontation, but fortunately everyone was wearing the uniform of the Ming army, otherwise there would have been a fight.

In the end, Mao Wenlong was alarmed, he rushed to the port in person, and saw that the person who came was Zhang Bin, which cleared up the misunderstanding.

This Phi Island is not a small island, its east-west width is more than ten miles, and the north-south width is also about five miles, and the area is larger than Sheliao Island.

However, it is located in the north, the climatic conditions are relatively poor, and the surface of the entire island is basically full of rocks and gravel, so it is very desolate.

Such a desolate island really shocked Zhang Bin, he really didn't know how Mao Wenlong survived here, if the imperial court cut off his food, he was afraid that he would have to go to the sea to catch fish and eat!

Zhang Bin's arrival also frightened Mao Wenlong, and it was unimaginable that the governor of a province would leave his jurisdiction and run to Phi Island, thousands of miles away.

However, he still welcomed the arrival of Zhang Bin, the big financier, and he took Zhang Bin to his residence all the way, just like welcoming the leader to inspect.

Along the way, Zhang Bin was even more shocked, his eyes were full of simple stone houses and all kinds of simple tents, he had never seen a house that looked comparable to the houses of ordinary people in Fujian, and even Mao Wenlong's residence was a patched cowhide tent!

This is the north, and it happens to be winter again, and the temperature is extremely low, so this environment is not bad if people are not frozen to death.

The furnishings in Mao Wenlong's big tent are not bad, the account is a big brazier, the charcoal in it is red and prosperous, the two rows of small tables on the left and right are okay, and the handsome sitting in front of him is covered with a tiger skin, which looks extremely powerful.

Zhang Bin didn't go to see the bedroom on the right, it would be bad if there were female dependents inside, under Mao Wenlong's repeated pushing, he sat on the handsome chair in front of him, and Mao Wenlong knelt at the small table next to him.

He beckoned the guards to serve hot tea, and added a large handful of charcoal to the brazier, then returned to the table and knelt down, with a surprised face, and asked kindly, "Shuangquan, why did you come here?" ”

At this time, Zhang Bin couldn't bear to criticize him, the environment on Phi Island is so difficult, it's unimaginable, Mao Wenlong's handsome tent is worth a little money except for the tiger skin under his buttocks, and he doesn't see any extravagant things, this guy, why are you greedy for so much money!

Zhang Bin thought for a while and asked in a gentler tone as much as possible, "Zhennan, how many soldiers do you have under your command that can fight?" ”

If someone else asks, Mao Wenlong may not tell the truth, Zhang Bin is different, they are a cooperative relationship, it is not interesting to conceal it, he said frankly: "The one who can really go into battle is probably only twenty thousand eighty nine, less than thirty thousand." ”

Zhang Bin sighed: "Alas, then why did you lie about the 100,000 army? ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his face changed, he didn't answer, but asked cautiously: "Shuangquan, who asked you to ask this?" ”

Zhang Bin continued to sigh: "No one asked me to ask this, I just couldn't bear to watch you embark on the road of no return, so I came here to persuade you, how much money can you spend in your life, and you have to have your life to spend so much food!" ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his face was complicated and pondered for a while, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "Shuangquan, are you afraid of the cold?" ”

In this winter, Zhang Bin naturally wears a lot of wind, and he said inexplicably: "What are you afraid of cold, I haven't seen anything frozen in the sea for two days." ”

Mao Wenlong nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

With that, he got up and walked out of the account.

Zhang Bin didn't understand what he meant, but he still followed step by step, and a group of guards behind him hurriedly followed.

Mao Wenlong took him slowly to the east without saying a word, all the way were simple stone houses and tents, there were civilians and soldiers walking outside, all of them were shivering with cold, Zhang Bin was more and more uncomfortable, the conditions here were simply too difficult!

After walking for about a quarter of an hour, the group came to the bottom of a hill about 100 zhang.

Mao Wenlong turned around and said, "Don't go up to them, Shuangquan, you go up with me to have a look." ”

When Zhang Bin heard this, he waved his hand without hesitation, asked Xie Zhenggang and them to wait below, and then followed Mao Wenlong and walked towards the mountain.

Along the way, Mao Wenlong was still silent, just bored his head and walked up the mountain, and after walking for a while, the two finally reached the top of the mountain, Mao Wenlong directly pointed to a mountain nest below and said: "Look." ”

Zhang Bin looked in the direction of his finger, and after just one glance, his face changed, and the mountain nest was full of dry bones, dense, and innumerable!

Could it be that what Yuan Chonghuan said is true, Mao Wenlong really forced the refugees to steal ginseng for him for a little benefit, and once he refused to accept it, he starved to death and threw it in this mountain nest!

A trace of panic gradually appeared in his heart, careless, careless, this guy, if he is really so cruel, it is very likely that he deceived himself to come up, just to slaughter himself, throw himself down the mountain, and become a pile of dry bones!
