Another person also got up early and looked around the boat, as if he was recording something? He is the clerk Lu Chuanzong, a very typical example of tactics, and he recorded it, which is his duty as a clerk.

In the ancient military system, the status of the clerk was very low, he was only a person who fully carried out the orders of the commander-in-chief, not even a staff member, and everything that he did with his pen was his job.

……

In the morning, Yang Renyu, who still felt that the sea was magnificent and vast, the water and the sky were the same, and the scenery was beautiful, but in the afternoon he changed his mind, it was too boring, except for the water or water, as if it was boundless.

The monotonous scenery makes people irritable, and after a long time, it can even make people crazy, so seafarers are basically a bit crazy.

Yang Renyu, who was extremely bored, found a pair of chess and said to Lu Chuanzong: "Mr. Lu, let's play two games." ”

"Good! I can't ask for it. Lu Chuanzong gladly responded.

This chess suit belonged to the former shipowner, and he must have bought it because he was very bored, which is a good way to solve his depression.

Yang Renyu's chess skills were taught to them by Yang Wenli, without the guidance of a famous teacher, they belong to the absolute grassroots school, although Lu Chuanzong's chess skills are not passed on from a famous teacher, but after all, he is literate and can read chess scores, and he is naturally a few points stronger, so Yang Renyu has been defeated repeatedly, and thousands of troops have been defeated, often ending in a big failure.

However, it also aroused Yang Renyu's competitiveness, he was repeatedly defeated and fought to the death, and the two also found a remedy.

Yang Renyu and Lu Chuanzong relied on chess to make a living, so what did the soldiers under him do? Yang Renyu didn't let them be bored, he gave an order, all soldiers must train their strength, especially the strength of the slave soldiers is not qualified, and they must strengthen training.

The simple fitness method taught to them by Yang Wenli is very useful, for example, it is very convenient to exercise in a place like a boat with narrow terrain, and there is no end to the training, and they will have to practice for at least a few years to reach the standard of Yang Renyu and his ten brothers.

In fact, the hit rate, rapid hitting power, and convenience of the bow and arrow are much better than that of the musket, and it has only one drawback, that is, it is laborious, and a normal person can not pull the bow a few times.

You can try it with a spring tensioner, one end is fixed, one end is pulled hard with one hand, ordinary people can't pull it at once, in fact, the two-stone bow is much more laborious than the tensioner, it can be seen how much the strength has to be enhanced, in order to open the two-stone bow. The strength is large, and it can fire 30 to 50 times when it opens five buckets, which means that it can shoot 30 to 50 arrows, which is similar to the ammunition carrying capacity of an ordinary infantry during World War II, and can fight a relatively large-scale battle.

In this way, everyone lived a monotonous life, and after ten days, one day the crew of the full-time watch on the ship suddenly cheered loudly: "Land, I see land." ”

All those who heard his cheers immediately rushed out of the cabin and looked ahead, only to see a faint gray ribbon in front of them, no longer a monotonous waterline.

Yang Renyu is also one of them, and he and Lu Chuanzong threw chess pieces and rushed to the deck quickly. At this time, he was so excited that he finally saw the land, and if it weren't for his identity, he would have wanted to laugh three times to vent his joy.

This may be North Korea, but he didn't go to North Korea, but to Liaodong, thinking of Liaodong, Yang Renyu couldn't help but remember the recent situation in Liaodong that the young master told him, and he was worried again.

Liaodong in the seventh year of the Apocalypse is absolutely hell on earth, this year there was a greater drought than the four years of the Apocalypse, the fields were not harvested, the price of grain was so high that the terrible eight taels of silver a load, there was still a price without a market, as the banner people of the Jiannu can still survive, but as an inferior person of the Han people is miserable, even the bark of grass roots is difficult to find, so there is a tragic situation of eating human flesh, the Han people fled in large numbers, and there are also some homeless bachelors, who take risks and rob the flag people with sticks, so that the flag people dare not walk alone during the day, The slave chieftain stipulated that only ten people could travel, and violators were fined.

According to the historical records of the later Manchu self-cultivation: the first year of Tiancong (the seventh year of the Apocalypse, 1627) from May to June

On the 23rd of June, Khan said of the ruling ministers: "Examine in detail who can and cannot cultivate the people to whom the banners belong, and who has seeds and who has no grain." …… Officials who take bribes are also guilty. In the past, Inzarku collected food from the people, and the law has been corrected. ”

When there was a great hunger in the country, the price of one gold bucket grain was eight taels of silver. There are cannibals among the people. At that time, although there were many silver taels in the country, there was nowhere to trade, and silver was cheap and everything was expensive. A good horse, worth three hundred taels of silver. A strong ox is worth one hundred taels of silver. One python satin, worth one hundred and fifty taels of silver. Mao Qingbu one, which is worth nine taels of silver. Thieves swarmed, stole cattle and horses, and killed people in a tragic manner, causing chaos in the country.

Most of the places where the Han people fled were coastal islands, which were the territory of the Dongjiang Army, but at this time, the life of the Dongjiang Army was not easy.

The territory of the Dongjiang Army is all small coastal islands, and it can only produce a small amount of grain by itself.

At this time, it was the peak of Mao Wenlong, with an army of more than 200,000 troops, and fierce generals under him.

But because he had made too many meritorious contributions, he was suspicious of his superior Yuan Chonghuan, and he didn't dare to come, so he secretly killed him. The military salary allocated by the court to Dongjiang was reduced by him to 200,000 taels of silver a year, while the annual salary of 60,000 Guanning iron cavalry was as much as 4 million taels. He also falsely accused the court of trading privately and blackmailing friends, if it weren't for the Duke of Wei, he would have been dismissed from his post by the court a long time ago, so the death of Mao Wenlong later had actually laid the root of the bane.

The reason why Yang Wenli sent Yang Renyu to Liaodong at this time was to fish in troubled waters, so that he could absorb the Han people and grow stronger soon.

Don't think too high about the patriotic consciousness of the poor people, any ideal is only conditional when there is no shortage of three meals, to put it mildly, the people are also drifting with the tide, whoever gives food, who has the advantage will depend on whom, it doesn't matter what the Manchus and Hans are, first seek to survive and then say.

In the final analysis, it is still food, but Yang Renyu has no extra food at this time, from Songjiang to Liaodong, thousands of miles away, it is impossible to transport grain, only to find a way from Jiannu, to put it bluntly, it is robbery, which not only further cracks down and weakens Jiannu, but also relieves and gathers the Han people and strengthens himself, which is more clever than transporting grain.

Therefore, Yang Renyu's mission this time is not to be sneaky, but to develop in a high-profile manner, set a benchmark for Han people to fight against Jiannu, and attract a large number of Han people to defect, so the destination of Yang Renyu's trip is the Liaodong Peninsula area.

In January of this year, the three major Baylors of the Wild Boar Pi faction commanded 6,000 troops to attack Lushun, which was guarded by Zhang Pan, Mao Shuai's right-hand man, Zhang Pan was defeated and killed, and Jiannu destroyed the city and left. In other words, at this time, Mao Wenlong had basically lost the land territory of the Liaodong Peninsula and could only survive on the island. Later, Zhang Pan's occupation of Lushun was an order from Wu Zhiwang, the governor of Denglai, and had little to do with Mao Wenlong. Yang Renyu led his troops to Liaodong at this time, which was a good time to fish in troubled waters.
