It seems that Mao Jue was born with no fate for the New Year, the year before last was just after the New Year was sent to Jiangnan on a blind date, almost did not come back, last year in order to subsidize food, the New Year was overtime, to the country to rob, this year is about the same, in December, against the snowstorm, the mighty Dongjiang fleet once again rushed out of the warm port.

No way, Chongzhen for seven years!

This year, Huang Taiji completely conquered Eastern Mongolia, and by the way, he also went to the trilateral test, which is known as the strongest in the Ming Dynasty. This year, a great opportunity for the battle of the Carriage Gorge, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and a large group of thieves were blocked here, but the emperor wanted to pretend to be forced and issued an edict to Zhao'an, but the peasant army that was "escorted" back to Luonan was like a dragon into the deep sea, where they broke free from the clamps, rushed into Henan in one go, and then swarmed hundreds of thousands of people, and the imperial court could no longer control it.

In the Ming and Qing dynasties, the most important winner is the Chongzhen seven-year carriage gorge, the second is the battle of Songjin in the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, and the third is the battle of Jiaxian in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen.

As a small lifeboat on the huge wrecked ship of Daming, time is running out!

Even if Mao Jue is restless, it's okay to cause some trouble here and there, and often send troops, this time the scale is unprecedented, more than 30,000 army, and there are five or six thousand sailors, nine first-class battleships headed by the Black Pearl, more than forty second-class battleships, one hundred and six third-class battleships, functional ships, this time there are ten more horse ships, pure horse ships, the guns are not loaded, all of them are horses, the size of this kind of horse boats, even more than a little more than a first-class battleship, there are special upper and lower passage fences for horses, more empty, The deck with the running rails, heavy horse feed, distiller's lees, and even a layer of fungal mushrooms that the horses can replenish their nutrients on.

In the face of the cold wind, the sails were blown and bulging, in order to maintain the firepower of the war horses, on the spacious deck, there were horse breeders pulling the war horses out to walk around the deck, just like a scene.

This huge scale of shipbuilding with a population of 400,000 in the Dongjiang River is naturally not enough, here is thanks to the Lee family's Joseon, after the autumn harvest every year, nearly 50,000 people return to the Xiongjin shipyard to work, and have been working until the spring ploughing in April of the next year, plus the original 50,000 refugees, 100,000 people of hard work to have the largest fleet in the Beiyang, in terms of strength, it is already comparable to the invincible fleet.

This time, because they are destined not to return to Dongjiang for a long time, several of Mao Jue's women, except for Chen Jiao, who is still in the mansion and presiding over the government affairs, the remaining three have been led out by Mao Jue, and officials above the garrison level can also bring their families, after all, having family members to take care of them is also conducive to maintaining combat effectiveness for generals at all levels, and in Mao Jue's view, family members are not only not burdensome, but a weapon that can boost morale.

For example, Li Zicheng's famous tactics of three walls, the first infantry thick formation, stabbing like flying, if not breaking the enemy formation, then the cavalry, swept in, and then not broken, the third team is not an elite force, but the old and weak family members go into battle, in order to ensure that their parents, wives and children do not have to encounter the threat of swords, the first two times, the army will come up with 120,000 points of combat effectiveness, tear the official army in one breath, Chongzhen thirteen years later, the large-scale army with this tactic, almost invincible in Henan.

Of course, Mao Jue can't let Su Yi carry the gun, and he won't let the Dongjiang family be cannon fodder, but fighting in a foreign country, the beloved woman is behind him, which officer doesn't move forward bravely and never stop?

But although it was an expedition, it was not serious to this extent at this time, and from time to time there was a little silver bell-like laughter on the horse boat, and she didn't stay in the warm tea room of the Black Pearl, Yu Le'er couldn't stop running on the horse boat, and was riding a fierce horse at this time, galloping at the front of the entire herd on the deck.

Not only her, but there are screaming behind her, Chiyohime, this girl obviously can't ride a horse, but she still wants to come to find excitement, holding the horse's neck and screaming there with her eyes closed, and the horses that are screaming are a little up, but the embarrassment is behind, Sakurahime, who is really ordered to walk the horse, has to control the horse on the one hand, and has to worry about the two young ladies on the other.

At the entrance to the deck of the horse ship, a large umbrella and a tea table were placed there, holding hot tea, watching Chiyohime screaming wildly there, and a figure who should not have been here shook his head helplessly.

Supervisor, Yuan Chonghuan!

It's really a human being, who can be ruthless! Until now, the scene three days before leaving the school still echoes in Lao Yuan's mind.

Stunned to see Mao Jue's indifferent face, stunned for half a minute, it seemed that Luo Zhige's ridicule before sounded, Yuan Chonghuan lowered his figure again, and respectfully clenched his fists and prostrate down.

"Prisoner Yuan Chonghuan visits General Mao!"

Liaodong is really a good place to smooth out the edges and corners, I remember watching the TV series "Shi Lang" in later generations, there is an episode in which Yao Qisheng was assigned to Liaodong, from the original sharpness, to the little old man who later became round in the accident, only to support Shi Lang's seller to seek glory and pacify Taiwan, this sharp Yuan Chonghuan, now has also been frustrated so many edges and corners, and he is actually put down this figure, not so aggressive.

But this answer was not what Mao Jue wanted, he was impatient, and he waved his hand at Adriana.

"This is the Dongjiang Governor's Mansion, not the Dongjiang Prison, who will Chiyohime marry, and it won't be the turn of a prisoner to point fingers and take it down?"

Seeing Adriana walk to the door and slap her face, the guard's leather boots began to ring in the corridor, and in such a short period of less than a minute, it became the most difficult time in Yuan Chonghuan's life.

Even at the moment when Emperor Chongzhen lured himself into the city, doubted his loyalty, and ordered Jinyi Wei to take down him, Yuan Chonghuan did not suffer so much.

He can't get enough of Mao Jue's methods, sometimes he thinks he is very good at accepting people's words, and sometimes, he will insist on doing his own thing, reckless of the consequences! If he left like this, he Yuan Chonghuan might be fine, but Chiyoji might really be married to the little old man he didn't even know.

Can you stay? Accepting Mao Jue's drive is equivalent to discarding the belief he has always adhered to! On the one hand, Chiyohime's life is happy, and on the other hand, he believes in the integrity, which one he chooses will make him miserable.

However, the pendulum of fate quietly turned a corner here, and when the two generals appeared at the door of Mao Jue's study, Yuan Chonghuan finally stood up and bowed.

"Subordinate Yuan Chonghuan, meet the general!"

So, he also appeared in the queue of the enlistment, and now holding hot tea, looking at Chiyoji's cute figure and shaking his head, Yuan Chonghuan found that he had no regrets at least now.

It seems that God will not let me Yuan die in the mountains and forests, so for the Ming Dynasty, for the Dongjiang, and for her to hold on for another two years, when Mao Jue is satisfied in the country, he will retire again, return to the mountains and forests, and then take the two ladies to live an idyllic life.

In a calm mood, Lao Yuan once again poured a pot of tea.

…………

The fleet traveled for about six days, and docked at the edge of Jeju Island again, this year, with the attention of General Mao, this Jeju Island has obviously changed, at least, the originally small port has now been widened into a large port, and there are a number of concrete stones thrown into the sea, straight out of the trestle bridge, even if it is such a huge fleet, the three ports of Jeju are completely accommodated, and the chess pieces on the Go board of the ships enter the port in such an orderly form, and are tied up by iron chains, The army calmly walked off the trestle and got off the boat, even the horses.

This year, the land construction is obviously also attentive, a bit like the three-story barracks of the later community stretching from the seaside port to the back of more than a dozen floors, the later Jeju Island is known for fishing and tourism, known as the Oriental Hawaii, Mao Jue is ambitious, although he has no one in his hands, but first to build the infrastructure out, and then immigrate from Shandong and other places in the future, fill it here, it is a huge excellent fishing port.

As for the tourist facilities, it will be built slowly, and then from the south of the Yangtze River to fool people here, Mao Jue believes that people are stupid and have a lot of money in Jiangnan, and there are always stupid and bold people who are willing to come to enjoy the scenery of the border land.

However, at this time, it was just the right time to settle the conscription army.

Mao Jue is also generous, whether the soldiers of the Dongjiang River are regular soldiers or not, they all go out on their backs, there are bare beds here, and you can sleep on them, but the Shandong soldiers and horses brought by Yu Dacheng obviously do not have the financial resources, they all come with empty paws, many of the guns and weapons they carry are old, and several Shandong generals are also poor.

In the flattery of this group of Shandong soldiers, one person was given a winter coat and a quilt, and then 6,000 people were assigned three rows of small buildings to settle, this end they were shouting and distributing the barracks, and the Dongjiang town at the other end was with the kind of hillbilly general eyes, it was natural to put down the cover and line up to take a bath.

Even those reservists, who live in such clean and tidy barracks during training every winter, have long been accustomed to it.

Mao Jue and his entourage were welcomed to the Xihai Fortress, this year, because they were completely invested in Mao Jue's command, whether it was money, food or materials, these generals in Jeju Island Town also looked like dogs, Shen Shikui led the team, and greeted Mao Jue's arrival with quite a grand etiquette.

A typical Western castle banquet hall, hundreds of generals around the round table eating and drinking, but here is still a clear distinction, the Shandong army surrounded itself in a circle, the other end of Jeju Island Town and Tieyi Town generals leaned together, the two sides actually pulled out a long distance of more than one meter, to be honest, about to start a war, this kind of estrangement is not good, but Mao Jue, who personally went down to let the two generals contact, got a reason that made him cry and laugh from his command.

These Shandong generals have lice on their bodies!

Pay special attention to the health of the army, the troops are three or four days a bath, even when the conquest of the Japanese country, as long as it is not a rapid march, Mao Jue also ordered his subordinates to take a bath when they have the opportunity, not to be poor, in history because of the water and soil adaptation, the plague and the rout of the army is too much, far from it, the modern Japanese devils, the number of people who lost their troops because of illness in several major wars in Asia is even more than the number of people who died in battle, the Dongjiang Army may not be the most capable of fighting in the Ming Dynasty, but it is definitely the most clean army.

If the Shandong soldiers were infected with the epidemic, it would indeed be a bit unreasonable, so Mao Jue had to temporarily extinguish his mind of being a peacemaker, first clean up and take care of these Shandong soldiers, and then find a way to let them integrate tacitly!

This reception banquet can also be regarded as a harmonious meal, in the same table, Shen Shikui also reported the development of Jeju Island Town this year, and now there are five regiments here, the last war, Shen Shikui's command died a lot, reduced to two regiments, Li Jiucheng's department was reorganized, and it was also organized into a regiment, only the subordinates of Liu Xingqi's five brothers were expanded, and the role of the cavalry last time Mao Jue was vividly informed, plus he had a lot of Jurchens in his two departments, and the number of recruits recruited from the Jurchens in Hamgyong Province, Some of them were assigned to them by Mao Jue, and two regiments were formed, and their commands are now armed with short firearms, the kind of narrow swords, and a small part with spears, forming the commando cavalry regiment under the command of Dongjiang.

Artillery, bayonets, firecrackers, and shieldmen, the current Jeju Island Town is not much different from Tieyi Town, and Mao Jue is gradually relieved of them.

The firearms unit is the most dependent on logistics, and the whole Jeju island town receives his unified distribution of military salaries and food, which is much more abundant than before, this is the way the Ming Dynasty restricts local generals, if anyone does not obey themselves, as soon as the food and salary are cut off, the soldiers themselves have to rebel first.

Mao Jue is not worried about being poached by others, after all, in the entire Ming Dynasty, like himself, the silver is not hidden in the treasury, it is either used in production, or the commander who stuffs it into the soldier's pocket, and he really can't find the second one.

After all, after walking by sea for a few days, after eating, the junior officers were dismissed, urging the soldiers to rest and recuperate, and they had to continue to train Mao Jue in the new environment, and the senior commanders' garrison regiments of the pro-corps, as well as a few advisers, were all gathered together for a meeting, as a frontier close to the Japanese state, a large amount of intelligence was gathered here.

At this end, Yuan Chonghuan, who had eaten and was particularly interested in Zhucheng, and wanted to take a look along the Xihai Fortress, was also called into the command post.

Thanks to the dead ghost Toyotomi Hideyoshi, now the map owned by the shogunate is not ready to be detailed in Mao Jue's hands, the short Song Xiance made a high stool to sit in front, and the veteran Shen Shikui, who has been in battle for a long time, is responsible for the explanation, holding a gold-faced military fan captured by the Japanese State, and pointing it out on the map.

To be honest, the generals under Mao Jue didn't have much gain, but Yuan Chonghuan and Song Xiance gained a few things that were really not small, don't look at them as literati, the idea of the Heavenly Empire is deep-rooted, as if in addition to the Ming Dynasty, the four wilds are all barbarians, even if Yuan Chonghuan has learned about the Japanese Kingdom, it is just the military history of the Wanli Korean War, and the introduction has to bring out the background, and after listening to it for a long time, his head is half a circle.

"I really didn't expect that the inconspicuous small country around Daming would have such a strong force, such a complex politics, and such a ups and downs history!"

After listening to Lao Yuan for a long time, Lao Yuan shook his head with emotion. Mao Jue, who listened to some information, couldn't help but pout.

Not to mention, it is worthy of ruling China (the devil is indeed called China, because it is located in the middle of Japan, surrounded by Kyushu Island and Shikoku Island, so it is called this name, not our China, which is quite awkward.) After decades of great fame, more than 30,000 retainers and samurai raised troops, and in the face of the shogunate for four months but did not show any signs of defeat, the Maori samurai instead marched high.

The Battle of Yanzhou, the Battle of Toyota, and the Iwami Silver Mine fought another battle, not to mention the repeated victories, and also took back the Iwami, Yasu, Izumo, and Bigo that were lost after the Battle of Sekigahara, and the territories that originally belonged to the Maori family were all recaptured, and the troops went straight to Beigo, and successively defeated seven or eight daimyo such as Tottori, Matsue, Wakazakura, Katsuyama, Shinmi, and Hiroshima, and now they are fighting fiercely with the Tokugawa family to protect Matsudaira Seiju, and on the map, the Mori family has swept half of the island of Honshu.

This posture, Shangluo is actually possible.

"Heh, there are seventy or eighty thousand soldiers and horses, and there is almost no room for us to make a move, Inspector, what do you think?"

Holding his arms and sneering, Mao Jue suddenly turned his head again.

To tell the truth, Yuan Chonghuan is now also a clerk under the Dongjiang Shogunate, and he is the kind of military advisor who comes up with the idea, and this inspector listens to him very awkwardly, but Mao Jue can't change it, so he has to admit that who made the two of them have a reversal here. Unexpectedly, Mao Jue was the first to ask him, and Lao Yuan really paused, but immediately, he also shook his head.
