War is always a political game.

The army that aided Da Linghe was completely annihilated, and even the commander Zhang Chun was captured, but when Sun Chengzong, an old minister who had been in office for less than a year, was crumbling under the attack of the imperial historians, Zu Dashou fled back to Ningyuan, and reported Huang Taiji's full set of honor guards to the Beijing division as a trophy, and the situation was reversed at once, and the defeat of Da Linghe was also called the great victory of Da Linghe, and Sun Chengzong as the governor of Liaodong even received some awards.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen is very face-loving, Liao affairs have been fought since the end of Wanli, after three generations of emperors, to him actually captured the honor guard of the Liao lord, which is one step worse than cutting off his head, this is beyond the previous dynasty!

As for the destruction of the Daling River, more than 40,000 soldiers were either killed or captured, the senior generals lost more than 70 yuan, and Jinzhou was plundered by the Jiannu soldiers, but it was a trivial matter.

However, what should be punished is still to be punished, first of all, Zhang Chun, the superintendent of the military road, was demoted to a commoner, and he had no property, and his family was exiled, I really don't know what Zhang Chun, who still had to carry his integrity and did not surrender in Houjin, knew what he would think?

There are also those generals who surrendered, the heirs of men over the age of sixteen were all beheaded, and their families were also exiled, and they had no property, but they could be executed here, and they were also discounted, and there were still many relatives of heavy generals in the Liaodong Army, and there was no, such as Kong Youde Geng Zhongming, such as Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and his family members were unlucky, and there were cries and shouts everywhere in the Shanhaiguan area of Jinzhou.

There is a very special character here for Dongjiang, which is gratifying! Historically, he wanted Chongzhen to be forced by Shen Shikui for ten years, desperate and disappointed in Daming, and persuaded by Kong Youde Geng Zhongming to lead his troops to surrender, but there was Mao Jue in this time and space, Mao Wenlong did not die, Shang Kexi was forced to Liaodong, this time he participated in the battle against Daling River, he was also captured and surrendered, and the family members he brought with him, the rest of his personal soldiers, were also purged.

Another special person, that is, Wu Xiang, maybe these days to escape from the experience, his Jinzhou soldiers in the Eight Banners before the siege, the first to retreat to Jinzhou City, most of them actually fled back, he himself was because he led the army to abscond, was dismissed and imprisoned, and finally cut his post to the people, and returned to Beijing.

But his son Wu Sangui was promoted to the Ningyuan regiment to train the general soldier because of the exploits of the Great Linghe War, plus the hereditary brocade cloth thousand household titles, the Wu family is still a prominent general, and Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou is the governor of the five armies, and he was named Beibo, Chongzhen also ordered to build a chastity archway in Ningyuan City for the four generations of the ancestral family to guard Liaodong.

In contrast, Mao Jue is much more unfair, he didn't even get promoted to the general army, but still hung up the rank of deputy general, and Emperor Chongzhen only gave a hundred households in brocade clothes, an additional reward of 1,000 taels of silver, and 20 horses of brocade.

In the battle report, Zu Dashou didn't dare to be too greedy, even if he wrote himself as the main force, he also mentioned a few extra sentences of Mao Jue's Dongjiang Army was brave and good at fighting, contributed a lot, killed a lot, and even praised Wu Sangui, but Emperor Chongzhen is such a stingy person, in his opinion, Mao Jue is just a coercion of soy sauce, it is not important, just send a little bit at will, and he does not need to pay attention to it at all.

…………

Mao Jue's face twitched.

It's not because of the unfairness of Emperor Chongzhen's rewards and punishments, but because of the present.

On the vast beach, in a few sand pits, the huge keel is like the bones of a prehistoric giant beast, lying there in the dark, even if a few days have passed, you can still smell the smell of burnt wood, the mess in the shipyard has been cleaned up a lot, but the blood stains in the corner are still clearly visible, the entire shipyard has stopped, where is Yin Shu trembling and kneeling.

Mao Jue sent Zu Dashou back to Ningyuan, and just returned to Phi Island, he rushed here non-stop, and he showed such an appearance in front of him.

"General, Master General...... you, you listen to Xiao's explanation!"

"You don't have to explain!"

In a word, Yin Shu seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, his breathing stopped, he didn't want to, but he did things for Mao Jue, Li Chao didn't treat him as his own for a long time, his own family was actually sealed by Xiongjin City Guard, and he could only wait for Mao Jue to come back and judge him, but Mao Jue didn't even want to listen to his explanation.

But Mao Jue's next sentence almost didn't make him faint.

"Hurry up, resume production, and I'll ask Su Fatzi to allocate 10,000 taels of silver and 20,000 shibud rice sweet potatoes to you in a while, and the families who were killed will give some money to subsidize, yes, you take 500 taels to suppress the shock!"

"General! Small ......"

"Okay, I know that you also tried your best, and then just do it well, Lao Tzu has to go to Xiong Jinshou to settle the account!"

Mao Jue waved his hand impatiently, turned around and climbed onto Adeleena's gorgeous four-wheeled carriage engraved with Bavarian lions, he was not injured well, the arrow that pierced the stomach fortunately did not hurt the intestines, otherwise it would be really troublesome, I used to watch TV, those famous generals did not have seven in and seven out of the army, Mao Jue understood, pure fucking nonsense, Yuan Chonghuan in the battle of Guangqumen can be shot into a hedgehog, can the general who charges on the front line do anything?

However, despite Mao Jue's weak and embarrassed appearance this time, he watched him go out of the carriage in a daze, and after Li Chaoshu was stunned for a long time, he slammed his head on the ground in the direction of departure.

This road, from the fishing village outside Xiongjin City to the root of the city wall of Xiongjin County, there are refugees wrapped in rags everywhere, and the decadent piles of refugees at the root of the wall are numb and sluggish, but when Mao Jue's carriage passes by, the pupils of these refugees only slightly burn a little spark of hope.

At the gate of the city, Mao Jue's carriage was still stopped, dozens of Goryeo strong men in tattered clothes, and even scarred Goryeo Zhuangding and old men kowtowed in front of the carriage, shouting some Goryeo language, come here, Mao Jue is naturally equipped with an interpreter, watching his gold lord walk out of the carriage in a daze, the interpreter is hurriedly translating on the side.

"General! These people say that they are shipyard stewards, and they are sorry for the general! Didn't look at the shipyard. ”

In fact, no matter what the people of that country are, the biggest pursuit is to live and work in peace and contentment, don't look at the fact that the Li Dynasty was not directly involved in the war, the exploitation of the scholars, and the big policies, the peasants here are better than the peasants in the Daming disaster area, and the strength of the peasants here is also limited.

Moreover, their land was forcibly occupied by the scholars, and in desperation, Mao Jue could give them a way to live, and these people were also grateful.

To tell the truth, he blamed Mao Jue for this, he really didn't expect that after the Japanese invaders suffered a fiasco this year, they would dare to attack his shipyard, so he didn't have a garrison in Xiongjin, which was good, he was raided by the Japanese at sea, five big ships were burned, and more than 300 people were killed.

Surprisingly, however, the pirates did not grab anything, and after occupying the shipyard for only a day, they hurriedly retreated backwards.

"Tell them! Everything is carried by Lao Tzu, let them organize as many people as possible, return to the shipyard, and the food and relief will arrive in a few days!"

In the midst of a thousand thanks, more than a dozen villagers kowtowed in gratitude, and in their shouts, the refugees on the street slowly packed up their worn-out luggage and walked slowly to the beach again.

But this time, the lifeless Xiong Jin seems to have a little more vitality called hope.

Mao Jue was even more angry and killed the Yamen of Xiongjin County, ten days ago in the attack of the Japanese Bandits, Yin Shu had asked Xiongjin County for help, but instead of rescue, the bastard city guard closed the city and watched dozens of workers in the shipyard being slaughtered at the gate of the city. Now that Mao Jue is back, you must settle accounts with him!

But when Mao Jue entered the county government with a belly of fire, he found that this revenge had been avenged, and what greeted him was a bitter face of an old man.

"Master Li, why are you here?"

The unlucky Zhang Chengshou has disappeared, I don't know what crime he was charged, which black prison he was put in, Mao Jue was greeted by a city guard surnamed Li who had only come to office in the last two days, and under his greeting, Mao Jue also saw a familiar old face in the back hall.

The behind-the-scenes leader of the East People's Party, Jeonju Lee Won-yi!

It's just that the old guy's demeanor is much worse than that of a few months ago, and he still has a black cloak that covers most of his ugly face, and the old guy clenches his fists in great panic.

"General Mao, it's not good!"

"Jeju has fallen! Those god-damn Japanese robbers threatened not to return the three people robbed by Wang Jing to them, and next year they will attack our Li clan in North Korea, and shake out all the grievances between the old decay and the Japanese people!"

I'm afraid that the latter sentence is what Li Yuanyi is really worried about, otherwise he would not have betrayed the Li family for his own interests back then.

But the old guy's words really made Mao Jue knock on his head with a headache, I really don't know if the Japanese are too strong or the Li Dynasty is too weak, Jeju is Jeju Island, a tourist attraction in later generations, and it is also part of Jeolla Province.

"Lord Li, even if your dynasty reduces its army, there are tens of thousands of troops that can fight well, right? There are only a few thousand Japanese pirates, so it shouldn't be a problem to recover Jeju Island, right? Why is it urgent to come here? ”

"Hey, General Mao, don't make fun of the old man, what is the battle of Neilin Mountain, who I don't know and who doesn't know? To recover this Jeju Island, it is necessary for the Great Tomorrow Army, and I hope that the general will take advantage of the old decay for the sake of being obedient and pull the old decay a hand! ”

The old guy simply bowed sadly, his appearance, Mao Jue was suddenly, even if Li Chao had the strength to recover Jeju, he wouldn't dare to use it! Once the general who marched into Jeju found something in the Wako, he would never recover, and the Li clan in Jeonju could also become history, and the military general who knew the inside story and was willing to go along with him seemed to be the only one, and it was really strange that Li Yuanyi didn't come to him.

"Lord Li, it's not that I Mao doesn't want to help you, the fleet of the Dongjiang River is Mao's father's, and I have to wait for the imperial court to send me at any time, I can't move, you have also seen this Xiongjin, the boat I just got up was burned by the Japanese Kou, and just this month, my department is still fighting with Jiannu in the Daling River, with heavy casualties, for a while, the general really can't spare troops to help you!"

If you don't take advantage of it, that's a fool's egg! This old guy begged himself, if he didn't scrape off two taels of oil from him, his Mao Jue's head was caught by the door, besides, what he said was not a lie, the Iron Volunteer Corps had just come back from the Liaodong battlefield with a scar, so he couldn't go to Jeju to fight for this old guy right away, right?

"The time can be delayed, now no one in the DPRK and China is willing to lead the troops to fight, the parties are shirking the mess, and it will take several months to prepare for the Japanese attack, as long as it is ready before March next year!"

This Li Yuanyi is also really on the road, his old face is horizontal, and he bows down with a heavy fist.

"As for what General Mao needs? With the power of the Li clan in Quanzhou, I will definitely give it with both hands!"
