The shotgun is replaced by a gun, which is Mao Jue's Dongjiang Iron Righteous Army.

At the time of the last conquest, plus the Goryeo mercenary group recruited in Xiongjin, the whole army was only about 5,000 people, seven sail battleships, and the rest were still filled with the old Fu boats, Guang ships, and Cangshan ships on the Dongjiang River, but now, although the first-class battleships have not increased much, but as the backbone of the second-class battleships, the third-class battleships have all been replaced, and the entire fleet of 122 large and small battleships are all warships, and there are more than 8,000 sailors recruited, almost all of the sailors and fishermen of the Dongjiang River are included.

There are also high-grade cast iron ship cannons made of iron mountain's excellent iron-rich ore, which constitute a terrifying firepower, in terms of the number of cannons, it is estimated that the Beijing division is not as much as Mao Jue, three years to sharpen a sword, more than 60,000 workers work day and night without remembering the cost, and finally have today's scale.

It's just that these have also exhausted the last batch of treasures left by Li Sunsin, and the dry wood of the various shipyards of the Li Dynasty began to fall into a state of depletion, and if you want to mass production, you have to find a way to fight the dense primeval forest in the northeast.

Fortunately, in a short period of time, Mao Jue didn't need to continue to build a big ship, and the requirements for wood were reduced a lot, and the next task of Xiongjin Shipyard was to hold his breath and desperately build a small fishing boat for him, and then take advantage of the fact that the Japanese people didn't have that ability to occupy the Hokkaido fishing ground for him first, and the drooling big tuna, catfish, skin shrimp scallops and so on TV in later generations are all Chinese.

On November 9, the Ming Dynasty volunteers who accepted the invitation of the Li Dynasty drove to Jeju Island, the front line of the anti-Japanese war.

"Wow!! It's so beautiful!"

A blue sea and blue sky, the sand has been sifted through a sieve, and the terrain has been leveled a lot by manpower, although the supporting hotels in the back have not been built because Mao Jue is too busy, and the infrastructure has been leveled by such a garrison first.

Although it was a cold winter and the weather was a little cold, but after holding back on the boat for a week, Yu Le'er had already been suffocated to go crazy, just got off the boat, looked at the sea in front of Halla Mountain, and immediately went crazy and screamed like a barefoot trotter with excitement.

The woman and the dragon are really relatives, and they can't see anything beautiful.

Holding a folder, a close-fitting cheongsam outfit vividly reflected the delicate figure, the fiery red hair was coiled into a snail bun, the big blue eyes of the lake and a big transparent glasses, and followed Mao Jue off the boat, blowing the sea breeze, Adriana pouted at Yu Leer's back very contemptuously.

"Miss Jiao!"

But in this girl's eyes, Mao Jue still saw the blazing brilliance, shiny, if it weren't for the military register of the Iron Righteous Army in his arms, Mao Jue had no doubt that this girl would have to run away with Sahuan.

Blame him too, it's all in the vernacular, what sunshine, beach, bikini, basking in the sun and fishing, the little face of the girl who hooked up with her was red, but her heart was itchy.

It's just that this holiday still has to be thought about after the war, and it's still winter, the sea breeze is blowing, where does the romance come from, there is sunshine to have passion, isn't it? Yu Le'er had to freeze back after a while, and she didn't care about her, in the neat black boots of the twenty-four guards, Mao Jue was a set of straight general cotton armor, carrying the foreign secretary Adriana, and walked down the trestle by the port in spirit.

On the edge of the trestle, there was already a group of generals waiting there.

The appearance of Mao Jue is definitely a new beginning for Dongjiang, he brought back the Dongjiang Town that was about to be subverted in the hands of Yuan Chonghuan, and expanded the Dongjiang River with a population of 100,000 to 300,000, and the originally scattered army was almost integrated, the overall combat effectiveness, ten regiments and 8,000 soldiers and horses, Mao Jue dared to say that the top of the Liaodong Army was 30,000 or 40,000, but for the former power layer of Dongjiang Town, Mao Jue was actually very unfriendly.

The biggest source of wealth for the generals was the border city of Phi Island, which was originally located in Uiju, and was replaced by his Uiju border city!

Little by little, Mao Jue strangled Li's North Korea and the supply of goods from the Dongjiang River, all of them in himself, tens of thousands of mink skins a year, tens of thousands of catties of ginseng, and gradually had nothing to do with Shen Shikui, Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingzhi's five brothers, Chen Jisheng and others.

Seeing that it was unprofitable, Chen Jisheng simply went to Liaodong Town last year, Shen Shikui was not convinced, but they had no choice, on the one hand, Tieshan was on the mainland of the peninsula, and he had a natural geographical advantage over Phi Dao outside the mouth of the Yalu River, and on the other hand, who spoke hard or not between the generals of the young army on the other side depends on the strength in his hands, Mao Jue took the Yizhou of the Zhenglan Banner, and they didn't even dare to fight the bannermen who came to sweep the Zhenglan Banner, who had a hard fist?

And the strength is even more long, although the pro-soldiers and the main general have the meaning of living and dying together, but it is also based on the silver and grain, Shen Shikui is the most in the Dongjiang River, he commanded the Shen family army two years ago There were 10,000, more than 3,000 pro-soldiers, Mao Wenlong also had to give him a few points, but now, his pro-soldiers are only 1,78, and the Shen family army is less than 4,000, there is no way, lack of silver to maintain.

There are also the five brothers of the Liu family, they were Jiannu who surrendered to Mao Wenlong, and the only benefit they had was that the eight or nine hundred Jurchen cavalry they brought did not dare to go back, and they could not run, so they could only follow the poor, but their combat effectiveness also declined.

The reason why a few people are willing to come to this Jeju Island is really because they are afraid of poverty, the land here is still fertile, and now Mao Jue and Li Chao are jointly managed here, the original Jeju City, Tamna County, more than 20,000 Li Korean household registration people are still in their own hands, in the wasteland reclaimed elsewhere on Jeju Island, they can't control the Ming army stationed in the Ming Army, before Li Jiucheng went to guard the southwest fort, and the Zhuangzi reclaimed nearby was very good, this Mao Wenlong squeezed, the Shen family, and the five brothers of the Liu family followed one after another.

This is also the reason why Mao Jue's sworn enemy before, Mao Wenlong's concubine Mrs. Shen has become more and more honest in the past two years.

Seeing Mao Jue appear, to be honest, whether it is Shen Shikui or Liu Xingzuo, they are all uncomfortable, but the form is pressing, Mao Jue's position as the lord of the Dongjiang River is becoming more and more stable, and if he wants to continue to mix in the Dongjiang River, even if Shen Shikui has to bow his head.

"Meet, meet General Xiao Mao!"

As the head of more than a dozen Dongjiang veteran generals, Shen Shikui took the lead in bowing.

"Grandpa doesn't have to be polite, please get up quickly, please get up quickly, you are all my predecessors in Dongjiang, don't be polite, get up!"

Mao Jue is a small face, warmly welcomed, but he is also very hard, two surnamed Shen, Shen Guangzuo, he has to call his uncle when it comes to relatives, pretending to be small, although this Shen Shikui is not his biological mother's father, but according to the etiquette of this era, his grandfather is still his grandfather, he is still small, but people respect me a foot, I respect people, Mao Jue is so undignified, Shen Shikui and Liu Xingzuo's brothers' attitudes have also softened a little.

is self-aware, Mao Jue is modest, and he doesn't think of himself as a grandfather, Shen Shikui still has such a rigid face, and stretches out his hand in front to salute.

"General Xiao Mao, the last general has already prepared a banquet in the southwest fort, please move the general."

"Thank you, Grandpa! Adriana, let the huge sea, Shen Rong and a few lead the army to get off the ship and station, Mao Lance, let's go to the southeast fort, drink and talk with the generals, go!"

…………

Drinking or something is actually secondary, just like the underworld in later generations, Mao Jue, a strong dragon, came over, and Shen Shikui and several local snakes also had to show their strength and show their muscles, so that in the future, Dongjiang would be under Mao Jue, and they would be able to mix up enough status.

Sure enough, at noon, even if a drunkard like Liu Xingzuo was a shallow taste, in the afternoon, Mao Jue was invited to the martial arts field, which was called watching the soldiers.

It's really people who have to fall to the bottom to know that they are down-to-earth.

The southwest fort is very similar to the western fortress, that is, when the crusaders fought a trace of the blue empire, the kind of military fort built is strong enough, but the residential space is also limited, it can only accommodate more than 1,000 garrisons, Li Jiucheng's 300 personal soldiers, the five brothers of the Liu family 200 personal soldiers, Shen Shikui's 500 personal soldiers, has been concealed, the remaining 13,000 soldiers and horses and some of the personal soldiers are reclaimed in the surrounding 27 tuntian, one north and one south two small forts, the remaining 1,000 Shen family soldiers, Eight hundred Jurchen Hu cavalry and more than 700 strong firearms soldiers formed a war barracks, and a separate barracks was built in the eight miles behind the southeast fort, and a very three-dimensional defensive position was established in the southeast facing the Japanese state.

This was all built in half a year, and here they finally moved, but in Phi Dao, these people just nest in the barracks all day long, at most a few smuggling orders, and earn some silver, is this a soldier? This is a smuggler! Fortunately, now, they have regained some of their sharpness as military men.

The Qilibaozi barracks is very much like a huge quadrangle, and it is also borrowed from Tieyi, but it is only a long bungalow with a large shop, and a spacious teaching field in the middle.

"Drink! Hah!"

The man's roar filled the huge teaching field, sitting on the general platform in the north, Mao Jue was like watching a horse race, watching hundreds of cavalry whip and urging horses, shouting forward.

It is worth mentioning that most of these people have short hair and a small tail dragging behind them, and most of these people are Jurchen cavalrymen who surrendered with the five brothers of the Liu family.

It is said that Mao Wenlong is playing soy sauce, but in this era of defeat in the Ming Dynasty, he Mao Wenlong can make a Jurchen army of more than 900 people surrender to himself, which can already explain a lot of things, I have to say that these white mountains and black waters, the ethnic minorities who survived the tribal vendetta are indeed fierce and fierce, Liu Chong also has cavalry under him, and these pro-soldier cavalry are also superb in martial arts, but they do not have the desperate momentum of the Houjin cavalry in front of them, it is obviously just a straw mat tied with straw, and the cavalry riding by seems to be really fighting. With red eyes, he dragged his knife and chopped it, and the place he passed was like an autumn wind sweeping leaves.

After a circle, it was a rain of arrows, even Mao Jue could feel the fierceness of the arrows, no wonder the battle of Salhu, the long-standing trilateral force of Shanhaiguan General Du Song couldn't bear it, and was defeated under the rain of arrows.

These cavalry retreated, and they were Shen Shikui's personal soldiers, if you want to talk about the formation, these guys are much worse than the Iron Righteous Army, but if you want to say fierce, they are not inferior to those Liu family cavalry, with a knife in one hand and a shield in the other, the spears on both wings are shouting and slashing the whole time, just that strength, that ruthlessness to fight, definitely has the potential of outlaws.

Although this is a demonstration to himself, but looking at the army floating by, Mao Jue still showed a look full of appreciation, with this team, no wonder Mao Wenlong was able to establish Dongjiang Town in a foreign territory surrounded by enemies, leaving a strong mark in this late Ming Dynasty, and no matter how strong they are, they will be their own generals in the future!

"What does General Xiao Mao think?"

The martial arts exercise has been going on for nearly an hour, all of them are really hard work, there are no firearms to make up the number, Shen Shikui also knows that firearms are no better than Mao Jue in any way, after the drill with a proud face, Shen Shikui is very complacent to look at Mao Jue, next to the five brothers of the Liu family actually picked up a cigarette in their mouths, swallowing clouds and spitting fog is also full of showing off and provocation.

However, Mao Jue's smile never faded, and he nodded heavily and gave a thumbs up.

"I often hear my father boast about how the wind and clouds with your brothers were back then, and they swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger! When I saw it today, it really lived up to its name! Mao Lance, pass the order to go down, reward each brother with ten boxes of cigarettes and a jar of wine!"

To be a man is to be generous, as soon as these words came out, no matter whether Shen Shikui or Liu Xingzuo's faces were obviously a little better-looking, Liu Xingzhong, the eldest of the Liu family, also hugged his fist with great interest: "Xie Xiaomao will see the reward!"

Needless to say, this cigarette has been pushed out by Mao Jue, and it has quickly become popular in the nine sides, and the survival pressure of people in these years is too great, especially when they are soldiers, not to mention that they are not safe, and they can't eat enough, next to the most disdainful eyes, live the lowest life, tobacco is like a painkiller, which can make people relax a little bit of depression, and sometimes Mao Jue's appreciation of cigarettes is better than rewarding money.

Striking while the iron was hot, while the old brothers were also happy, Mao Jue hugged his fist with a smile again.

"Husband, earn fame on the battlefield! Since Jeju is strong and strong, this is the time to recruit the Japanese, and I want to recruit you with the army, grandpa, General Liu, what do you think? ”

The most ironclad relationship has carried the gun together, and the relationship between the main general and his subordinates is also knotted on the battlefield, Mao Jue's intention to establish the relationship between the next generation of the Dongjiang power layer and several families is very obvious, Liu Xingzuo and others are also understanding people, and immediately without saying a word, they stood up and clenched their fists and bowed, even Shen Shikui was no exception.

"Listen to the dispatch of General Mao from Xiaomao!"

He began to eat a part of the Dongjiang River again, and while thanking Mao Wenlong, Mao Jue himself also showed a little self-satisfaction, stood up from the seat suddenly, put his hands on the railing, and shouted angrily.

"With you all following, the world is great! Where did Mao not dare to break through? ”

"I am willing to attach the general to the tail of the general!"

…………

This time you want to play a little bigger, in two days, the Jeju Ming Army is also ready for war, incorporated into Mao Jue's expeditionary force, a total of 3,000 people, all of them are the personal army of several generals, the most powerful group of combat effectiveness, and they can be regarded as traditional lightly armed troops, except for the cavalry and horses of Liu Xingzuo's brothers can bring a little burden to the special horse boat, the rest are carrying guns and armor and leaving, adding a force to Mao Jue out of thin air.

However, the heavens are balanced, and it is destined not to look at a person for too long, and after dealing with the military affairs of Jeju on the 15th, until now, the army of the Li Dynasty and the military sentence Li Shanhai who should have fought with him have not shown up, and on November 16, Mao Jue had to cross the sea again, returned to Gyeongsang-do, and found the army of the Li Dynasty belonging to Li Shanhai in Juyeon-ri.

"This ......, this is the army of the Li Dynasty on this expedition?"

Riding on the horse, leaning forward, Mao Jue was a little dumbfounded.

It is said that grinding guns in the battle is not fast and light, but Li Shanhai and Lord Li, you are too late!

In front of him was an incomparably lively scene, lively even like a vegetable market with a broken fence encircled, it was a big camp, a few scholars and officials at the door worked hard to write, and in the records, no matter what was fat, thin, tall, short, old, or young, as long as it was a man, he could use knives, guns and forks, and he was put into the barracks.

It is said that the troops of the four provinces in the south were requisitioned, but in fact, Li Shanhai pulled out less than 2,000 provincial soldiers from Jeolla Province, and the rest were all recruited on the spot.

But looking at those flower-clothed troops, some of them didn't even have a hoe, and Mao Jue, the "Li Dynasty Army" who was wandering around, really had a feeling of the sea.

Dizzy!

Although he has the name of fighting the Japanese invaders, he and Li Shanhai both know that this is crossing the sea to conquer a country! Isn't it a playhouse, is he just so foolish? Aren't you afraid to die and put yourself in it?

The cheeks jumped straight, Mao Jue almost angrily shouted out the words just now, who knew that in Li Shanhai's ears, instead of bringing him the slightest touch, the old guy nodded as a matter of course.

"That's right, this is my elite soldier, by the way, General Xiao Mao, a total of 30,000 people's salaries and ordnance, these days, please hurry up and send it to Juyanli!"

"Do you still want me to pay for the ordnance?"

Pointing to his nose, Mao Jue screamed angrily again.

Although the two stomped their feet, and the three kingdoms of Haidong were shocked, the big man argued together, but this head did not seem to affect Li Shanhai's on-the-spot recruitment, and the scholar Guan Zuo, who was born in a middle-aged person and worked hard, sang impatiently.

"Next, name, place of origin!"

"Is this going to fight the Japanese robbers? Count Lao Tzu as one, Lao Tzu is called Pu Ah Da! I'm going to snatch all these would-be robbers of my sweet potatoes and get them all back!"

With half a sweet potato stuffed in his mouth and a turban wrapped in a turban, he looked like a little chick and shouted in the crowd in a hurry............

I wish you all a happy new year, a new year, good luck, and Wishing you prosperity!
