Chapter 28: Collusion (I)

The sky has indeed changed, and last night it was cloudy, but now, the sky is clear.

Zhu Chongjiu sat in the back garden of the Daluhua Chi Yamen in Jiaozhou City, enjoying the cool breeze blowing from the east, while quickly flipping through the battle report in his hand.

So far, this cross-Haiden 6 battle is very perfect, perfect a little unbelievable, the quality of the sailors of the Great Yuan Dynasty is too bad, the general's table is also extremely layman, last night after the existing people grabbed the beach 6, actually divided the troops with empty salaries in their hands into several waves, wave after wave pounced, this kind of refueling tactics is a taboo for soldiers, by the Huai'an army with the double advantage of numbers and weapons, to defeat a wave, in a blink of an eye, it was a falling flower.

The subsequent offensive and defensive battle of Jiaozhou City was even more relaxed, without waiting for the Fifth Army to kill outside the city, Mengyuan's Jiaozhou Daluhua Chieryou, with Han Qing, had fled to Yidu with the last strength in the city, and the remaining bunch of traders who came to "assist in defense" saw that the situation was not good, and simply surrendered.

With the experience of attacking Huai'an, Baoying, Gaoyou, Yangzhou and other cities last year, Wu Liangmou and others arranged Yiqiē in an orderly manner, leaving nothing to Zhu Chongjiu, the chief manager, to worry about, so that he almost watched the whole process as a bystander, and then was taken into the specially vacated Dalu Huachi Mansion to recuperate.

"The fruit of the Great Yuan Dynasty is really ripe." Interested in putting down the battle report, Zhu Chongjiu picked up a cup of tea.

In this battle, the Huai'an army lost a total of seven people, three of whom were accidentally knocked down by the waves when they boarded 6, and were not rescued by their companions in time in the dark, and drowned, and four died in the melee when they made contact with the enemy for the first time.

The five seriously wounded were all stabbed at the junction of the armor by the enemy's cold weapons in the melee, lost their defense and were injured, and the number of minor injuries was 26, all of them were shot in the face or forearm, and after cleaning the wounds with alcohol, most of them were able to return to the battlefield within half a month.

Compared with such a slight casualty figure of the Huai'an army, Meng Yuan's side was beheaded by more than 300 people, more than 1,000 were captured, and almost the same number of soldiers fled into the nearby villages and barren mountains, and they no longer posed any threat to the Huai'an army.

The battle loss ratio of 100 for 1 between the enemy and us made Zhu Chongjiu almost have a Northern Expedition in his heart, so he simply left the two old thieves of Tokhtar and Mainu alone, led the Fifth Army to re-board the ship, and rushed straight to Dadu by sea, perhaps, with more than 3,000 elites in his hands, he could capture the Mongolian emperor in the capital alive.

However, this grand idea, just flashed in his heart, he forcibly pressed down, with 3,000 iron armor straight to the Yellow Dragon, only the storyteller can be realized, from Zhigu to Dadu, at least more than 300 miles, enough for Timur to make a proper response, and once the expeditionary force's attack is blocked, its logistics supply will inevitably have problems, after all, Zhigu is not Jiaozhou, from Huai'an to Jiaozhou, the supply can be transported smoothly day and night, and from Huai'an to Dadu, and then Shun lì also has to float on the sea for seven days.

In addition, Zhu Chongjiu also has a clear understanding of his own ability, he knows that his greatest strength is that he has accumulated more than 600 years of knowledge than others, and understands the basic trend of human society and the rough changes in the means of war better than others.

This is also one of the specific reasons why he dared to personally lead an elite army to attack Jiaozhou by sea, and hand over the remaining main force of the Huai'an army to Xu Da, Zhu Chongjiu firmly believes that without his own elbow beside him, Xu Da can swing more well, and after losing his own killing target, it will make no sense to continue to follow the two big rivers and the Huai'an army, if this person changes the deployment in a hurry, it will just let Xu Da catch the fighter.

"My lord, my subordinates, my subordinates have a reluctant request." Yu Tonghai hurriedly ran in from outside, with a little embarrassment on his face.

"Did you let me let that friend of yours go?" Zhu Chongjiu smiled and nodded slightly, "Chen Senjun has already sent someone to investigate, he is just a gentleman, he has not committed any unforgivable crimes in the past, and he made the opening of the city last night, if you can make sure that he does not take the initiative to go against us again, you can let him go at any time." ”

He already knows a lot about the past of Yu Tonghai's father and son, so he doesn't mind that these two people have a little old affection for Duotu, who is also a Mongolian, on the contrary, in Zhu Chongjiu's subconscious, Yu Tonghai, who risked being suspicious of himself and interceded for Duotu, is more worthy of his appreciation, if the other party always refuses to care about the life and death of his friend, it will make him look down on him very much.

"He, he, he wants to use his own merits to exchange more favors with the lord." Seeing that Zhu Chongjiu was so easy to speak, Yu Tonghai's face was slightly red, and he raised his hand and scratched his helmet for a while before he stammered and added, "He, he said that he had mentioned conditions to us yesterday, and after the army entered the city, Qiu did not commit any crimes." ”

"That's how we are." Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly when he heard this, and responded with a smile.

"He, he, no, he is, alas." Yu Tonghai was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he struggled for a while before he continued to add, "He, what he means is that those maritime merchants who are blocked in the city by us, although their origins are not clear, but they are also part of the conditions, if the chief manager is willing to let him go, please also, please raise your noble hand and release the goods of the maritime merchants and these people together." ”

"Oh, he's pretty greedy." When Zhu Chongjiu heard this, he was stunned and sneered slightly, "How does he know, we will definitely find trouble with those maritime merchants, didn't you tell him, our Huai'an army never robs the people." ”

"Subordinate, subordinate told him, but, but he still is not at ease." Yu Tonghai was sweating profusely when asked, and explained with a red face, "He said, he said, hey, tell the truth to the lord, he was a puppet in someone else's hand at the time, in fact, it didn't matter at all, it was those maritime merchants who put forward conditions with our Huai'an army, and those who opened the city gate were also the people under the hands of those maritime merchants, and those people also promised him at that time that if he was willing to obey orders, he would help pay for his father's troubles, so that his father would be cut off by the bastard emperor in the capital because he lost Jiaozhou." ”

"Oh, there's such a deal in there, no wonder he has such a big appetite." Zhu Chongjiu immediately came to his senses and shook his head with a smile.

Most of the things that Yu Tonghai said, he knew about the detailed work under Chen Ji, but the transaction between the maritime merchants and Duotu was the first time he heard of it, and in a few words, he decided whether he lived or died from the fourth grade Daru Huachi, I am afraid that Totoku himself was present, and he did not dare to make the same guarantee, what is the origin of this group of people, how dare they agree so fearlessly.

"He, he also said that if he and his grandfather can get away with it this time, he will find a way to go to Liaodong to be an official, and from then on, he will never dare to stand in front of the chief manager." Afraid that Zhu Chongjiu would not agree, Yu Tonghai continued to add in a low voice, "Subordinate, subordinate, it is estimated that this is also what the group of maritime merchants promised him, that group of bastards, who have great ability, dared to push a sailor into the sea and drown him alive in order to smuggle in order to shun the smuggling, and the Dadu Imperial Court, the Dadu Imperial Court actually didn't ask much after asking." ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, Zhu Chongjiu frowned slightly, and then agreed with a smile, "Okay, I know, you can promise him, on the maritime side, I will personally pay attention to it, no matter who is in the background, as long as they themselves do not directly oppose our Huai'an Army, they can leave with the ship and goods with confidence." ”

"Thank you, thank you, lord." Yu Tonghai was immediately elated, arched his hand, and gave Zhu Chongjiu several blows one after another, and then ran out, "My subordinates will go and inform him, let him understand, how atmospheric you are, his kid refuses to take the opportunity to stay and assist the lord this time, and he will regret breaking his intestines sooner or later in the future." ”

As he spoke, he had already run out of Zhu Chongjiu's sight, and disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

"You little bastard." Zhu Chongjiu scolded with a smile, then stood up, ready to go to the front hall to deal with some government affairs, and then wait for everyone to rest before discussing the details of the next move.

Unexpectedly, the front foot had just entered the door, and on the back foot, Yu Tonghai had already hurriedly ran in again, bowed deeply to him, and then reported breathlessly, "Lord, lord forgiveness, this time it is not a private matter, that gang, the leader of that group of maritime merchants, that is the guy surnamed Zhang who promised the safety of Bao Duotu's father and son, personally sent it to the door, he pleased, asked his subordinates to pass for him, and said, saying that there is a good deal, and I want to talk to you about it." ”

"Oh." After some foreshadowing just now, Zhu Chongjiu's interest has been completely aroused, he nodded, and ordered with a smile, "Then invite him to the main hall, and then send a few people to call Chen Shenjun, Zhang Shenjun and Feng Shenjun in. ”

"Yes." Yu Tonghai agreed, and rushed out again.

Looking at his back, Zhu Chongjiu shook his head gently, things are getting more and more interesting, and before he can wait for what to do with this group of "white gloves", the other party actually took the initiative to find the door, but he didn't know which nobleman was ready to talk about a big deal with him, and he didn't even pay attention to the Mengyuan court, and this person's plan was also long-term, (Note 1)

Note 1: White gloves, especially refers to some officials who dare not openly use their power for personal gain, quietly raised family business agents, officials and businessmen collude, for their families to loot the people's fat and ointment, in the 21st century in many countries, this is a very common situation, so it is nicknamed white gloves, that is, take the money but will not dirty the master's hands,
