Chapter 51. Bragging about the beginning
"General, the folks are still waiting for you to speak!"
Mao Jue was still stunned there, and his sleeve was stabbed twice by Su Changmei's pork elbow, and he woke up coldly, Mao Jue hurriedly looked impassioned again, holding his fist to the rich people who came to reward the army around, and the people suddenly came to make a circle.
"The villagers are warm, I Mao is ashamed not to be, since I Mao someone Tian is a town general, since he should serve the country and keep the party safe, this Lao Tzu swears, this iron mountain, as long as I Mao is in one day, I will not teach Jiannu Hu Ma to do even an inch of Yin Mountain!"
"The general is arrogant!"
If you want to say that people have to have the eyesight to see, Mao Jue let it go, Su Changmei immediately slapped the two pork elbows like a cowhide drum, pulling the male duck's throat and cracking the lungs.
To say that there are professional fans in the future who make money by cheering, this atmosphere really has to have a rhythm, Su Du Liangdao said, and the rich squires below also became lively, one by one holding their fists and bowing fiercely and praising them.
"Good! What a living Huo Biyao!"
"Is it really a blessing for us that the imperial court sent this good general to guard the Iron Mountain!"
There are excitement and small faces everywhere, which is diametrically opposed to Mao Jue's indifference when he came, but looking at the crowd that greeted him, Mao Jue always had a feeling of inexplicability and weakness, after all, this battle was really disgraceful, but it seemed to be welcomed like a hero, which made him really weak-hearted.
was scratching his head and laughing in embarrassment, and a pleasant cheer made Mao Jue wake up again, picking his eyes, the small faces in the crowd were all red, and Su Yi excitedly raised his hand and waved a handkerchief and shouted.
"Young Master! Hero!"
…………
The grain in the past few days has been solved, a total of more than 100 pigs and sheep have been collected, and there are more than N baskets of steamed buns, which have been flattered like this for the first time, and many big-headed soldiers even burst into tears, and after returning to the camp, they hugged their heads and cried. is also holding a mask and following with a smiling face, but when it comes to the general yamen, he threw the military affairs of several wealthy families in the city who are also flattering to Wen Meng, Mao Jue impatiently pushed the plain clothes into the room.
With a pop, the little buttocks fell heavily on the bed, seeing Mao Jue look back and look left and right vigilantly, and as soon as he turned around and closed the door, an unspeakable scene immediately appeared in the mind of the bad girl, and she immediately covered her little face with a blush, and muttered.
"Young master, it's still daylight! Not okay? ”
"What's so good!"
rushed to the bed, sat beside Su Yi aggressively, Mao Jue's face was almost in front of Su Yi's hot little face, just when the girl twisted her little hand and half pushed it, Mao Jue asked hurriedly.
"What has happened in Iron Mountain City these days? Why did the people of the whole city come out to greet your young master and me today? ”
The unknown is the most frightening, but Mao Jue's new official takes office, he needs this prestige and love too much, this is the appearance of the whole town of Tieshan, even if he is holding on, he has to finish playing this positive character, he endures it with a confused stomach, and almost didn't force this Virgo to death.
A girl's heart really jumped from the sky to the ground, and there was almost no bungee jumping with her face on the ground, even the corners of the cherry mouth in plain clothes couldn't help twitching twice to the side, and she resisted the urge to kick her young master out of bed, and made an ugly smirk.
"That, young master, you've pressed the."
"Huh? Oh! ”
In plain clothes gritting his teeth, Mao Jue rubbed his big ass back.
Finally adjusted her mood, Su Yi asked again with confusion and curiosity.
"Young Master, isn't this the battle exploits that you personally sent back? In Yungu, you encountered the Jiannu Brigade and ten thousand cavalry, young master, you held Changshan Zhao Zilong's spear, three in and three out of the enemy formation, and killed the corpses all over the field, the blood flowed like a river, and the blood of your own robe was splashed like plum blossoms, and these Jiannu who fought fled north for three thousand miles in embarrassment, and recovered all the lost land in Tieshan in one fell swoop, it was simply Huo Biyu alive!"
Speaking of this, Su Yi's beautiful big eyes were full of little stars, but this time Mao Jue listened to a few green tendons on his head.
Dare to be in love, Su Changmei came back for him to brag! However, this bragging is not good for a little bit of music, and it is still three in and three out, and it is not the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
And if someone asks Mao Jue whether he is Wei Qing, the Han army in the era of Huo Quai's disease, or the Ming army today, he will definitely answer without hesitation at this time, it must be that the Ming army is better!
The progress of smelting technology has made today's cold weapons sharper and stronger than the Han Dynasty, and although they are relatively primitive, the firearms of the Ming army are still sharp and terrible in this era, but the Han army can kill two thousand in eight hundred under the leadership of Huo Quzhi, and the two battles in Hexi have killed the Huns in blood, but today's Ming army can't even beat the northern Hu Jiannu, also because of the progress of technology.
Hou Jin is not like the Qing army in the TV series in later generations, wearing a cloth uniform and holding a broken spear, compared with Western soldiers, it is like the feeling of opera and two people performing on the same stage, this time Mao Jue can see that their knives are heavier, stronger, and sharper than those of the Ming army! Several corpses were directly cut through the cotton armor inlaid with iron sheets, but in the corpses of Jiannu, in addition to the armor-breaking mini bullets of his own soldiers, there were more than a dozen lead bullets in the body and shouted fiercely, most of these lead were stuck in the cotton armor and wrapped iron, even if it was pierced, it was just a skin trauma.
It can be seen that the forging quality of the Houjin people has thrown off half a street of the Ming armament that cut corners.
Even if Mao Jue brought more than 20 flashes, it is estimated that he will be bombarded into slag by these barbarian moves, not to mention him, even if Wu Sangui, a fierce man with one hand and a hundred pounds a few days ago, he would never dare to fight a group of Jiannu who attacked at night alone, and he would have to be hacked to death by a knife in a few strokes.
"Can you believe that?"
Making up stories has to be reliable, Mao Jue was speechless about Su Changmei's IQ of making up nonsense, and it took a long time to stop saying a word, but Su Yi, who asked, showed a question mark on his face.
"Young master, you sent someone to bring back the heads of more than thirty Jiannu, which are still hanging on the city wall like grapes, why don't you believe it?"
…………
The key is to come out of the heads of these thirty or so people.
Mao Jue once read an article about whether the Jin people in the Song Dynasty and the Later Jin of Nurhachi were the same people, and the answer was probably not! The Central Plains called the Northeast ethnic minorities, basically regardless of their ethnicity, all called the Jurchens, but the Jurchen tribes of the Northern Song Dynasty were destroyed, occupied the fertile Central Plains, and moved their capitals to the Central Capital, that is, today's Jingshi, most of their ethnic groups naturally migrated to the Central Plains, and the Mongolian Northern Song Dynasty attacked the Jin State on both sides, which slaughtered no less than one million Jin people, and the rest did not have much chance to return to the ancestral land of the Heilongjiang generation, so the Jurchens who established the Jin State were either perished, or were integrated into the Han people in the North.
As for Nurhachi's ancestors, it is more likely that the Tunguska tribe from Siberia migrated over taking advantage of the emptiness in the northeast, and it is said that they have a more intimate blood relationship with the Tuvans in Russia in Mao Jue's later generations, so the Jurchens of this era are really very different from the Han people.
As for the braggadocio of the person who came back to report Su Changmei's merits, Mao Jue had never seen the good news of his father Mao Wenlong's military exploits reported to the imperial court.
Manpu, the battle of Changcheng, Mao Wenlong's subordinates were only more than 1,000 people, and they didn't dare to fight with Jiannu at all, he dared to wave his pen with a big stroke, and the cloud intimidated Jianlu to collapse, trampling on each other, more than 20,000 people died, and 30,000 horses were damaged! Even Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, who had always supported him, couldn't stand it anymore and issued an official reprimand.
Exaggerating the military industry has become a common practice in the Ming army, if according to the number of beheadings over the years, the Jurchens have been wiped out several times, but unfortunately the real situation is that every time the Ming army is a small victory and a big defeat, the Ming army died more than 50,000 elites in the first battle of Salhu, the Eight Banners Army is only more than 3,000, and the Kaitie Liao Shen Ming Army lost no less than 100,000, even the most elite descendants of the Qi family army were wiped out in the Liaohe River, and the Eight Banners Army only lost a few thousand people, and later with Yuan Chonghuan's Ningjin victory to attack a strong city with Western artillery, the loss was relatively large, was killed by Yuan Chonghuan more than 4,000.
Even so, the casualty ratio of the two armies is still about the same, Mao Wenlong beheaded 600 in a big victory, compared to Mao Jue who cut off more than 30 heads, which is also considerable, beyond many veterans in Dongjiang Town.
Therefore, this new general dared to fight, and he also cut off Jiannu's head and came back, which was enough for the Tuhu and rich households in Tieshan Town, who had been bullied by Houjin for many years, to cheer and rejoice.
As for whether Mao Jue can't beat 60 people with 1,400 people, not many people care.
No wonder Su Changmei is so confident and meritorious.
The history of the Mao family's development is really genetic, Mao Wenlong relied on bragging about his position, and now he has built a huge Dongjiang Town, Mao Jue's first political capital is also obtained by bragging, the first battle of Yuegu made Tieshan Town obviously obedient to him a lot, followed by Zhao Chengtian Tao He Baoyu and other generals who returned to Tieshan Town, saw the head of the Jiannu with teeth and claws, and obviously converged a lot, plus except for the Zhao family, they all suffered a big loss in strength, and they didn't dare to do it on their own as before, and they began to report to Mao Jue.
However, this is only a slight easing of the situation.
At the end of July, some early wheat in Liaodong has reached the harvest season, even if it is not ripe, it is full of green and shining, but Tieshan County, but it is a shocking place, the burned cottages are still left with black charcoal all over the ground, and large areas of crops are like the unlucky ghost head with bald spots, either they are robbed and taken back to make horse feed, or they are burned, or they are gnawed by horses, come out to inspect, Mao Jue rode a horse around a big circle, and there is this shocking scene everywhere.
turned over and dismounted, and picked up a wheat seedling that looked green from the ground, but Mao Jue, a city person who was not diligent and did not distinguish between grains, could see that the roots of this wheat seedling had begun to wither and could not survive.
Looking at it, this has gone deep into the northern end of Tieshan County, but I don't see a good wheat field, after Mao Jue's crossing, the old man with a much more handsome face suddenly pulled, whining and shouting.
"Lao Tzu's food!"
As he spoke, a large piece of loess smoke and dust suddenly flew from the road in the distance, and a large group of cavalry galloped over on horseback............
