Chapter 39. The Overseer is sick!
The army of the Ming Dynasty is indeed not the opponent of Jiannu, in the field, the inferior and uneven quality of firearms is the enemy of the Qing bow that has reached the peak of cold weapons, in the battle of Salhu, Nurhachi is to order the Houjin army, which has an absolute advantage in quantity, to dismount, shoot forward with bows and arrows, and then use the dead soldiers to break through the already chaotic Ming army firearms array, and then kill and kill.
But at sea, Da Ming managed to maintain a far lead in technology, and he threw off Jiannu for I don't know how many streets. It is said that in the past few decades, 15,000 to 20,000 ships were launched, and the Korean War was 10,000 miles.
Most of the main warships are supervised by Shandong, and some of the big trees are taken from the deep mountains of Liaodong, and in the past few years of operation on Phi Island, there are already 1890 large and small ships under his command, plus the West Daying, more than 8,000 sailors, this time it can be regarded as showing muscles in front of Yuan Chonghuan, Mao Wenlong gave an order, and one hundred and one warships, including more than 5,000 sailors including his own soldiers, poured out.
It is indeed much worse than the fleet of Zheng He's era, due to the national strength, Mao Wenlong's largest warship is only more than 60 meters, but in this Northeast Asia, his fleet is definitely on the top, ship after ship, sail after sail, as if there is an extra city on the sea, the sea breeze blows, and the bell hanging on the mast is tinkling.
Standing on the bow of his flagship, looking at the sparkling waves to the sea, Mao Wenlong was really full of pride, although he paid a heavy price, but heroes were born in troubled times, all of which he worked hard within a few years of a small garrison.
"What does the inspector think of Mao's boatman?"
After admiring it for a while, Mao Wenlong looked at Yuan Chonghuan with a smile on his face and asked with a smile.
However, at this time, Yuan Chonghuan's face didn't seem to be very good, it was white, and there was a faint retching-like movement, swallowed, and then shook his head slightly weakly.
"The boat division is a sharp weapon, and the soldiers of Dongjiang Town are also elite divisions, however, this sharp weapon is hidden in the sheath and does not fight with the enemy, so it is not as good as the blunt knife and wooden gun, at least the latter can be regarded as having been on the battle formation, sharpening the enemy's armor, and vomiting ......"
Before the words were finished, Yuan Chonghuan couldn't help retching again, this person is weak enough, but there are always thorns in his words, he is satirizing Mao Wenlong's corpse vegetarian meal, raising thieves with self-respect. Just now he was full of self-satisfaction, and Mao Wenlong's face became gloomy when he heard a sentence, and after a while, he said a sentence that was not salty or light.
"What the Overseer said is true!"
The two bigwigs no longer have a common language, but this time Yuan Chonghuan seems to be really unlucky and so seasick and dizzy, he responded to the bow for a while, vomited three or four times in a row, and even vomited out the yellow water, and then with the support of the surnamed Wu, he went directly back to the cabin to rest.
When the sun was about to set, the man surnamed Wu came to the door again.
"Mao Shuai, my supervisor is seasick and dizzy, and he can't support it, hurry up and find an island to dock!"
"How did the overseer come here when he came, and how could he be so seasick?"
First he despised Yuan Chonghuan in his heart, and then Mao Wenlong asked with some doubts, who knew that in exchange for a sentence, it was actually this surnamed Wu who scolded with impatience on his face and in a rather disrespectful tone.
"Where does Mao Shuai talk so much? Lord Yuan is the governor of Liaodong appointed by His Majesty, shouldering millions of people in Liaodong, is there a flash Mao Shuai who can be responsible? Hurry up and stop the fleet, find an island to dock, and let the overseer rest. ”
Mao Wenlong, who was reprimanded by a young junior who seemed to be less than twenty, was already unhappy, his face became more and more ugly, and he was extremely angry, and this handsome Dongjiang Island simply flicked his sleeves in annoyance.
"The commander of the ship, you went to find my son Mao Kexi, he was in charge of the front army, and he was familiar with a piece, and he was tired of being handsome, so he wouldn't be here to accompany him more!"
Putting on the shelf, Mao Wenlong's head jumped, and he also got out of the cabin, but the one surnamed Wu shouted a few words in annoyance in the back, and then he could faintly hear his domineering shouts to the generals of Dongjiang Town.
"That's Mao Kexi, Ben will order him to quickly find a place to stop the boat!"
…………
The nearest nearby is Shuangdao, two small islands of less than a few square kilometers face each other in the south and north, and the narrow harbor in the middle is a good place to moor, but this surnamed Wu is too arrogant, which makes the general of Dongjiang Town very unhappy, and it took half an hour to stop the boat on the edge of the island.
seemed to reveal his true nature, Yuan Chonghuan's supervisor shelf was fully arranged, the fleet just docked, he just didn't stay for a minute, let a few personal soldiers carry him off the boat, followed by the supervisor's spacious Chinese army tent, pro-military camp tent, iron pot, rice grain, a lot of things were carried down from the ship one after another, a full set of provisions, baggage, this posture is like wanting to live on this broken island, I don't want to leave.
Seeing that on the rocky slope of the hill above sea level on the North Island, a group of soldiers from Ziliao Town were beating and building a camp, and Shen Shikui, the deputy chief soldier who accompanied him, was a little anxious.
The telescope fell down in annoyance, got off his battleship, and sat in a small boat with a fierce attitude, and then he climbed onto Mao Wenlong's flagship, and in the back deck cabin, Mao Wenlong was having dinner, and Leng Buding was broken in by this bearded muscular old man who was more than one meter tall and eight meters tall.
"Mao Shuai, what does this Inspector Yuan mean? The monsoon is about to start in the next few days, and I don't know how dangerous it is on the sea! That Jiannu is still eyeing Yizhou, and he is swaggering to set up camp on Shuangdao? Our thousands of armies are waiting for him? ”
Listening to Shen Shikui knocking on the table and shouting, the cups all shook down, Mao Wenlong's old face was also full of depression, but after a long time in the officialdom, he sharpened the edges and corners a lot, crooked his mouth, Mao Wenlong waved his hand down crookedly.
"Inspector Yuan is a literati, his body is weak, and they are more literati, what can you do to let the old man do? You can't leave the overseer behind, let's go back, right? ”
Mao Wenlong spread his hands angrily, but Shen Shikui, who was listening, suddenly became anxious, his thick eyebrows and bull's eyes were round, and he pressed his hands on the table anxiously.
"But Mao Shuai, this is about to enter July, on the other side of Iron Mountain!"
The farm has been busy for a few months, and the wheat and sorghum are rising with peace of mind, but this means that whether it is the Ming army or the Jiannu, they can free their hands, in order to force Dongjiang Town, which is a thorn behind the back to the Houjin, every year Huang Taiji will launch an offensive in Yizhou, although it is not a big war, but this small group of attacks is more troublesome, the military camp is burned, the grain that has been cultivated hard is robbed, destroyed, and the 100,000 Dongjiang soldiers and civilians in Lushunkou, Yunluo Island, Phi Island, will be hungry.
Every year from June to before the autumn harvest, it is almost the most tense time in Dongjiang Town.
This question is indeed a real roadblock, and Mao Wenlong's eyebrows couldn't help but pick up.
"In this way, Ming Ben Shuai will go and talk to Inspector Yuan, if you just leave immediately, or delay for a day or two, it's okay, if Yuan Manzi wants to recuperate for a long time, then Lao Shen, you will go back first, Ben Shuai will continue to send Yuan Manzi back to Ningyuan, what do you think?"
"This ......"
After a little hesitation, Shen Shikui could only nod helplessly in the end.
"The last general obeys!"
This head sent Shen Shikui away, but Mao Wenlong didn't have the heart to continue eating, put on a cotton armor and simply walked out of the cabin, the bell of the ship blown by the wind at night jingled, even in June, the Ming army who was in charge of the night was still shivering from the cold, and couldn't help but stomp his feet, retracting his hand into his sleeve, the warship in the distance gently undulated with the waves, and the lights on the ship were shining like stars.
At this time, there was also a bright light on the small hillside of Shuangdao, and Yuan Chonghuan also landed more than 600 personal soldiers and generals and attendants, and a camp was also neatly built, and even cut wood to make a windshield wall. What Yuan Chonghuan's illness was, Mao Wenlong didn't know, but the scene in front of him definitely made him worried.
"Mao Shuai!"
While he was watching, a deep and low voice of greeting sounded behind him, Mao Wenlong couldn't help but turn his head, and looked back, a military general with a big shoulder, a round waist, and a rough beard respectfully bowed his head.
"Mao Shuai, you summon the last general."
"Oh, that's a delight!"
There are too many righteous sons and grandsons received, and Mao Jue's Iron Triangle in the West Daying, the general Mao Kexi didn't make Mao Wenlong feel any more cordial, but nodded tiredly.
"You go and bring a team of men and horses to garrison Beidao, don't let Inspector Yuan be frightened again."
In the pupils, a little wave flickered, Mao Kexi's hand trembled slightly, but then he hugged his fist fiercely and lowered his head.
"The last general obeys!"
"Go ahead!"
In the night, a burst of shouts sounded, more than a dozen large and small warships stood out from the Dongjiang Naval Division, and gathered at the foot of the North Island Mountain of Shuangdao like chains, and the soldiers with torches boarded the shore in small boats, and built simple shacks on the spot, and the noise made the Ming army behind wake up from their sleep, and scolded in annoyance.
However, Mao Wenlong couldn't see this scene, and with irritability, he went back to his cabin.
…………
The next morning, after waiting for more than two hours, Yuan Chonghuan on Shuangdao really didn't have the slightest intention of leaving, the camp built yesterday was quiet, quiet like a ghost, and waited until more than ten o'clock in the morning, sent someone to ask twice and did not respond, I couldn't bear it, and with more than 40 major generals of the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong landed on the North Island.
This Yuan Chonghuan's camp is really messy enough, between the two tents, more than a dozen Liaodong soldiers are actually playing with money noisily, and there is no one standing guard, standing at the gate of the camp, Mao Wenlong shouted for a while, only a guy reluctantly threw the dice, ran into the tent to report, about a few minutes, the Liaodong officer surnamed Wu was full of unruliness and arrogantly walked out.
"The superintendent said, let Mao Shuai and the generals go to the tent to see him, by the way, the superintendent is seasick and dizzy, you are all rough men, don't be careless, disturb the superintendent, you can't afford to bear the guilt!"
Mao Wenlong almost didn't spray, in front of himself, this surnamed Wu reprimanded his subordinates as if no one was around, not only did his brain bruise, but even Shen Shikui and Chen Jisheng twitched the muscles on their faces a few times, and they endured it without having a seizure, and followed Mao Wenlong towards the tent.
It is estimated that after saying goodbye to Yuan Chonghuan this time, they never want to see this bastard thing again.
Following his own commander, those pro-soldiers also wanted to follow in, who knew this kung fu, and the surname Wu was very disrespectful to stop the knife.
"The Overseer likes to be quiet, so you just stand outside and wait!"
"Mao Shuai!"
The soldiers and the main general are in solidarity, and the orders of the court are sometimes too big for the main general to come in a word, and they don't let themselves in? Mao Wenlong's personal soldiers, Mao Biao, couldn't help shouting in the back.
However, looking at Yuan Chonghuan's tent, which was only a dozen steps away, Mao Wenlong waved his hand back indifferently.
"You guys wait here first!"
More than a hundred pro-soldiers impatiently gathered at the gate of Yuan's camp, and Mao Wenlong, the general of Wu who followed the eyes to the sky, followed him to the door of the tent angrily.
"Mao has seen the supervisor, but I don't know if the inspector's illness has ever been ......"
Speaking of which, Mao Wenlong's face couldn't help but be ugly, at this time, Yuan Chonghuan was sitting in the middle of the tent in good spirits and playing chess with Wang Chunhua, a civil official of Jianjundao, not to mention seasickness, his swarthy old face seemed to be able to see a faint red light, and his health was outrageous.
"Inspector Yuan, who are you?"
was tricked by this guy, Mao Wenlong's annoyance can be imagined, however, Yuan Chonghuan's next sentence made the cold hairs on his back stand up.
Slowly dropped a chess piece, Yuan Chonghuan turned his head coldly, with a strong killing intent in his eyes, and asked in a low voice.
"Mao Wenlong, you are guilty!"
