Chapter 45. Transfer of Rights
Mao Jue's current mood can really be described by a divine comedy in later generations, worried!
Early in the morning, the West Daying Wharf became extremely busy again, and all the warships of the 13,000 households were dispatched at the same time, the soldiers carried food and fresh water, and the soldiers carried cannons and muskets to the cabins.
Wen Meng and Panghai also got their wish, and they were also promoted several levels in a row to get a thousand households, and Shen Rong was lucky together, after all, these three people can be regarded as Mao Jue's "old subordinates", and when they arrived at Tieshan, there were even more military tunquarters that needed to be received, and Mao Jue's hands could not be without the manpower that could hold up the scene.
These three people are capable, after all, they are old military households, even if the second generation of officers in the second generation of Da Haihai has heard a lot about his father and two uncles, he will also march into the army, and what kind of management will be camped neatly, the only thing Mao Jue, the new staff general, needs to worry about is standing on the bow of the ship and looking at the sea.
In the hazy sea fog, the Iron Mountain City in North Korea on the opposite side was faintly visible, and there seemed to be countless grimaces under the mist, showing their teeth and claws at themselves.
Although I once fantasized that I was a great general, in the heroic Han and Tang Dynasties, leading thousands of troops and horses, fighting to the death against foreign people, but it was the first time that I really wanted to be driven to the battlefield, and even Mao Jue himself didn't know what he would do when he faced the legendary Jurchen who was dissatisfied with 10,000 and was invincible.
Especially with such a legion.
Following the baggage, the soldiers of the Xida Battalion B-shaped battle battalion also boarded the battleship one after another, and the morale of the soldiers under the command of these former Shang Kexi was not bad at this time, because everyone received a settling-in fee of one or two silver before they got on the ship.
In fact, according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, the settling-in fee must be at least ten taels of silver, but even in the Wanli period, the real settling-in fee will not reach ten taels, and only the pro-soldiers can get the military salary on weekdays, and the rest of the military food can be fed.
But even so, the performance of this army on the battlefield, Mao Jue has no bottom in his heart, and he can't handle the most combat-effective pro-corps, as for those good and bad infantry, fire guns, if they really want to be rushed by Jiannu's iron cavalry, what it looks like, he really doesn't know.
I really don't know what Mao Wenlong thinks, handing over such a big thing as defending the Dongjiang barrier of Tieshan to himself, a rookie, there are actually many fierce generals in Dongjiang Town, the Liu brothers, Mao Youde, Mao Zhongming, Shen Shikui, Chen Ding, which one seems to be more suitable than his own new Ding.
"I said Xiao Mao Shuai, you are really good-hearted, 1,500 taels of silver! In fact, it's all for you and your own soldiers, this one or two, you can't even hear a sound when you divide it, and your own soldiers don't contribute, those soldiers should be rotten or rotten, why bother? ”
A few cronies were busy loading the ship and preparing to go on the expedition, which also gave some idlers a chance to stick around, and Su Changmei, the fat and whirring grain supervisor of Sammo Hung, stuck to Mao Jue's side sourly, pouring his crooked arguments.
"Little Mao Shuai, our Ming Dynasty has always been seven cents of silver to support relatives, three cents of silver to feed the soldiers, really fight or rely on our cavalry team to rush, to fight, those rotten soldiers will follow the flag and shout, a grand momentum, you ......"
"So Kaiyuan is defeated, Tieling is defeated, and Liaoyang and Shenyang are lost! Ben wants to be quiet, can you pull aside? ”
This unceremonious eviction order almost choked Su Changmei to death, moving her fat buttocks, this guy reluctantly stepped aside, but he didn't want to show that he was snubbed by Mao Jue, this guy stood behind Mao Jue with his stomach and posed at an angle, standing on the land and looking at it, just like this guy who stood tall and loyally stood behind Mao Jue's guards.
This time is equivalent to moving, the thirteen,000 households and the B-word war camp have to follow Mao Jue into the Tieshan Army, and the move really took some time, more than three hours, before all the belongings were moved to the ship, and it took more than half an hour to go by sea and land, almost ten o'clock at noon, and then arrived at the port outside the Tieshan City on the other side.
Now Mao Jue can be regarded as a new leader, and the head of the iron mountain is also waiting there early, a total of seven or eight generals, more than 100 personal soldiers, the leader is wearing an iron tower helmet, wearing a red cloak and robe, but he is a bad old man with a big beard and a handful of old dragon clocks, ordinary people are jealous, calm, and happy, and this old guy is actually a relieved and relaxed look.
The boat docked on the shore, and when he saw Mao Jue getting off the boat with a few personal soldiers, the old guy immediately went over with a smile on his face.
"The person who came is Xiao Mao handsome, Mao Jue, Mao General? The old decayed Tieshan guards the general Liu Heita, and he has seen General Mao! ”
"I've seen the general!"
The remaining six generals also clasped their fists and saluted together.
"I've seen General Liu!"
Despite the apprehension and anxiety in his heart, Mao Jue still politely hugged his fists and returned the salute, but after all, he still couldn't hide things in his heart, so he asked urgently in the second sentence.
"Father sent a boy to Iron Mountain for reinforcements, I don't know what the current enemy situation is, where did Jiannu fight?"
As soon as this was mentioned, the faces of several generals in Tieshan became strange, and the black-faced and sturdy general on the far left showed a little joy on his face, but on the right, a guy who looked quite gentle, a bit of a white-faced scholar, and a person next to him, a round-faced general showed a look of jealousy and disgust, but the white-faced scholar concealed it better.
This Liu Heta's expression was also quite strange, as if he was gloating, and the corners of his mouth were raised up and down before he hugged his fist again.
"Xiao Maoshuai, this is not the place to talk, let's go into the city to talk, what do you think?"
It seems that the ancient secret military was not negotiated in this court, and he also felt that he was too reserved, his old face was red, and Mao Jue nodded obediently.
"The kid is a newcomer, and he doesn't know any rules, so let's follow General Liu!"
Move out of the house in the morning, and have to move back in the afternoon, but it is just changed to the Iron Mountain, landing from the bay in the wind river, about three or four miles to the northeast, it is the Iron Mountain City, this city is also an ancient city, it is originally said that when Ming Chengzu pacified Liaodong, Joseon Taizu Li Chenggui ordered to build in order to respond to the Ming Dynasty.
However, although it is the territory of the Korean Kingdom, there are not too many Koreans, the war of this era is really devastating, a few years ago Ding Mao Chaos, Amin and other Baylor led 30,000 Houjin Iron Cavalry, blatant as the dynasty, and because of dissatisfaction with North Korea's refusal to sever contact with the Ming Dynasty, dissatisfied with the content of the contract, ordered the army to loot along the way, so that the four northern provinces of the Korean Kingdom were almost washed into white ground, millions of people went south to take refuge, plus the dead, so that the mouth of Er Ding was quite sparse.
It can also be regarded as setting up a barrier for himself in the north, Joseon Renzu allowed the Han people in Liaodong to take refuge here, in this two or three granges, the faces of the Han people are the majority, at this time it is already the middle of July, in the fields, the wheat sorghum has revealed heavy ears, but there are no people in the field, only when the army passes through the village, you can see some cautious faces in the village.
When you arrive at this Tieshan City, the impact of the war is even more significant on the city, you can see the Ming army patrolling back and forth, and on the streets, the Korean people who fled over, the Han people in Liaodong are even more common, and it seems that there are still people who continue to flee from the north gate with their families.
Tieshan City is really not called, and even Mao Jue feels that it is not as big as the community where he rented a house when he was working, there are some irregular rectangular city walls, tic-tac-toe streets, and the general yamen is in the middle of this tic-tac-toe, but after all, it is in the city, and the environment is better than that of the western camp, and more than 1,400 soldiers and horses brought by Mao Jue were placed in the general army yamen and the nearby tile houses.
This Shen Rong and Hu Meng are responsible for the placement of soldiers, and the other head is Wen Meng, and Mao Jue is Liu Heita and several Tieshan generals entered the Yamen of the General to handle the handover.
With a bang, a large stack of blue ledgers was slapped on the table, and the heavy books were shaken up with a layer of dust, this Liu Heita seemed to be a lot more pragmatic than other Ming generals, and he didn't hold a welcome banquet to invite Mao Jue, his eyes were straight into the direct delivery procedures, and he said with a smile on his fist.
"Xiao Mao Shuai, Tieshan's Tuntian, household registration, and regular soldier roster are all here, and the old man will officially hand over Tieshan to you here!"
This is indeed a dossier on behalf of local rights, mastering these is equivalent to mastering the Tieshan Peninsula, but Mao Jue is most concerned about the current war, seeing that this old guy seems to have the intention of throwing a rake and leaving, a fog in his head, Mao Jue hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed.
"Old General Liu, Mao is still a newcomer in the army, how is the current war, where is Jiannu marching, how should we resist the enemy, and I hope the old general will give advice!"
"Well, the old man has already told the old man to return to his hometown, this matter in the army, he will not talk about it, after accepting the Tian book, Xiao Mao Shuai can go to Zhao Shoubei, Tian Guerrilla to understand, Xiao Mao Shuai is busy with official business, and the old man is not much to disturb here, farewell!"
Saying that, in Mao Jue's stunned, this old guy really seemed to be running for his life, holding his fists and smiling, he actually withdrew from the general yamen.
This strange thing at the end of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than this, dozens of pro-soldiers rode horses, with a full twenty carriages of belongings from Ximen, the transfer of power in Tieshan City is completed, Mao Jue, a pink newcomer who is less than 20 years old, has become the town and 20,000 households, more than 5,000 soldiers and horses of the administrative, military and judicial leader, but standing at the head of the city, looking at the back of this old guy's hurry, Mao Jue always felt a sense of uneasiness.
"What the fuck is this called?"
