Chapter 116: Arriving in Liaodong
On the second day of October, after more than a month of sailing, Yang Wenli's fleet finally arrived at Changsheng Island, and Yang Renyu led his main subordinates to climb onto Yang Wenli's ship, bowed to him and Xiao Yan'er, and said, "Welcome to Changsheng Island and Mrs. ”
Yang Renyu led three chiefs and eight military chiefs, black helmets and black armor of Yishui, lined up in a neat small square, bowed with both hands and feet in a 45° standard, very spirited, which made Yang Wenli laugh and said: "Hahahaha!" Good! Everyone's free courtesy. ”
"Renyu, after half a year, you led the troops to garrison Changsheng Island alone, but you have matured a lot." Yang Wenli looked at Yang Renyu, who was faintly already a general, and couldn't help but praise him.
"Thank you for the appreciation of the big boss, my subordinates know that they have a heavy responsibility on their shoulders, and they dare not slack off." Yang Renyu bowed again and thanked him.
"Renyu, can your ministry fight Jiannu?" After the politeness, Yang Wenli finally asked him what he wanted to know.
"Back to the big boss, we have never fought each other, we landed on the island from the west, and we ......," Yang Renyu told truthfully.
It turned out that Yang Renyu's troops had landed on the island in the west, and Jiannu did not know that there was a strong enemy in the neighborhood, and Yang Renyu strictly stipulated that his soldiers were not allowed to appear on the east side of the island, and searched the entire island again, and gathered all the Liao people who had fled here for recuperation, and Jiannu did not know the nature of the water and did not dare to cross the strait, so Jiannu did not know that there were foreign enemies stationed on this island.
"Good! Very good! This is not the time for us to fight a decisive battle with Jiannu, this year and next year, we will only conquer a small piece of land in southern Liaoning at most, and our soldiers still need time to train. Yang Wenli praised Yang Renyu again and said his next step.
In fact, Yang Wenli only said half a sentence, his real intention was not to be the first bird early, at this time the Ming Dynasty was not declining, and it was harmful to emerge too early.
Moreover, the current political situation also forced him not to fight with the Later Jin, because since Huang Taiji ascended the throne, he adopted the advice of the Han courtier Gao Shijun, pretended to negotiate peace with the Ming Dynasty, and after attacking Korea, he also negotiated peace with North Korea, just like the face of a peaceful person. In fact, his real idea was to gain time, unify the Mongolian ministries, create the Mongolian Eight Banners, and finally take the Central Plains with the momentum of thunder and thunder.
Now the court is deceived by his tricks, a large number of ministers in the court agreed to negotiate peace, including Yuan Chonghuan who was reactivated by Chongzhen, in fact, Yuan Chonghuan has always been a firm peace faction, as early as the fifth year of the Apocalypse, when Nurhachi died, he sent a lama to pretend to be filial piety, spying on the truth, which is the prelude to his desire to negotiate peace with Jiannu, and later he corresponded with Huang Taiji many times, talking about peace, this is his confidence to Chongzhen boasting about five years of Pingliao, otherwise, with military strength, It was impossible for the Guanning army to recover Liaodong in five years.
Now Yuan Chonghuan is the Governor of Jiliao, and also supervises the military affairs of Denglai and Tianjin, with his firm peace faction, if Yang Wenli fights with Jiannu, Inspector Yuan can still do it, not to mention anything else, as long as the communication between Changsheng Island and the outside world is blocked, it is enough for Yang Wenli to accept it, and then he treated Mao Wenlong like this, because Mao Wenlong is the biggest obstacle to his peace with Jiannu.
Yang Wenli never wants to be the first bird, but he still has to fight, otherwise what is he doing in Liaodong? It is to fight small rather than big, eliminate a few today, eliminate a few tomorrow, add up to a lot, there are only so many people in Jiannu, this is their biggest weakness.
Yang Renyu invited Yang Wenli and his wife to go ashore to stay in a three-entry mansion that he had prepared a long time ago, Changsheng Island is not a big city such as Liaoshen, so the best house on the island is this three-entry mansion, its victory is quiet and elegant, the courtyard is full of flowers and strange stones, it can be seen that the former owner of this mansion is still a gentleman, Yang Wenli took people around with great interest to check it out, very satisfied.
He was not a high-ranking official or nobleman, but he was born as the son of a small landlord in the countryside, and he was determined to compete in the world in his early years, and he practiced martial arts diligently since he was a child, and he never enjoyed any glory and wealth, so he was very satisfied with this kind of house.
After visiting the house, a group of subordinates accompanied him to sit down in the lobby, he and Xiao Yan'er were divided into left and right, and his subordinates were divided into ranks, as if they had the appearance of a small court, but unfortunately, there was a serious shortage of civil officials, and there were only a few broken scholars who could not take the table.
But Yang Wenli is still very happy, this is a scale that he has spent eight years to achieve, which is really rare.
After the slave soldiers served tea to everyone, Yang Wenli said: "Ladies and gentlemen, we have gone through hardships and dangers and finally arrived in Liaodong, which is a milestone-like event that will eventually be recorded in history.
It is a pity that dozens of brothers have left us forever in the battles with the officers and men and on the voyages on the sea, but since ancient times, there have inevitably been casualties, and we should strive to cheer up and work hard for the cause that we have not yet competed for.
I said two years ago that we came to Liaodong to train an invincible iron cavalry, and I don't want all of them to be able to shoot arrows on horseback, and it is also commendable to be able to march on horseback, so that our army will have the most powerful mobile combat capability.
Now that we have arrived in Liaodong today, I declare that from today onwards, our army will be called the Black Armor Army, and I hope that our Black Armor Army will be invincible and invincible from now on, and will be powerful all over the world and famous at home. ”
"The Black Armor Army is invincible and invincible! Megatron the world, famous at home! Everyone in the hall was enthusiastically boiled by Yang Wenli's words, and they all stood up and raised their arms and shouted.
"Good! It is necessary to have this momentum of self-respect in order to achieve a strong army that is invincible in the world. Yang Wenli stood up from above and praised his subordinates loudly. Then he smiled with his hands and said, "Sit down, everyone."
After everyone sat down again, Yang Wenli continued: "The large army has just experienced a bumpy voyage on the sea, I will give you three days to rest, and then we will start normal training, and I will not wait!" Seeing that it is about to enter winter, when the coast of the Liaohai Sea is frozen, Jiannu will definitely come to explore this island, and then it will inevitably fight with Jiannu.
Although I will not attack Jiannu for the time being, it is our bottom line to hold this island, and if the situation allows, we will occupy Fuzhou and turn the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula into our base area.
The matter of training is very important, it must be in front of everything, you brothers must work hard and teach carefully, and I will take time to check when the time comes, and it is also one of the bases for your competition, so remember! ”
"The subordinates will live up to the trust of the big boss, and they will teach carefully to accelerate the success of their subordinates." All the general flag officers in the hall hurriedly got up and bowed to Yang Wenli to reassure.
"Good! Sit down, everybody. Yang Wenli was very satisfied with the actions of the brothers, and he stretched out his hand to signal them to take their seats, and then he continued: "Renyu, there is still something for you to do. ”
"Please command," Yang Renyu immediately got up and bowed in response.
"With us to Liaodong, there are also thirty shipowners and their sailors and shipwrights, they have meritorious service to our army, you are familiar with this place, now you arrange their accommodation, and also set aside a piece of land for them to cultivate, the same is ten acres per household, there must be no mistake." Yang Wenli gave him an order very formally.
"Obey the order" Yang Renyu saluted a formal military salute and received the order in a loud voice.
