Zhang Chu arrived at Phi Island, the main island of Dongjiang Town, with the fleet, and after getting in touch with Mao Chengzuo, he didn't land on the island well, but he had to do some landing exercises, and Mao Chengzuo's officials were not as big as Zhang Chu, so he had to let Zhang Chu toss.

The soldiers of the Dongjiang River all left the shore and watched from a distance.

A loud bang came, and it turned out that the fleet anchored at sea had opened fire, and the Dongjiang soldiers were frightened when they learned in advance that they were going to conduct exercises. This Zhang Chu really paid for it, the exercise did not engage in any showmanship, and directly on live ammunition, hundreds of artillery pieces of the fleet fired together, and the momentum was very terrifying, and hundreds of shells flew straight towards Phi Dao, and the Phi Island soldiers, including Mao Chengzuo, were a little hairy, and they couldn't wait to find a place to hide immediately. Fortunately, the shells quickly fell to the ground, and the beach that had just been vacated left many large craters on the beach after a burst of sand.

The security forces only carried out one round of artillery salvo, and then released the boat from the fleet, the soldiers paddled hard, the boat quickly approached the coast, the soldiers meticulously went ashore in accordance with the requirements of the landing operation to establish a fire support point, expand the landing field, and the follow-up troops followed up to set up a temporary wharf, transport supplies ashore, and finally the boat that Zhang Chu took docked on.

Mao Chengzuo was already impatient to wait, and through the exercise just now, he found that the army brought by Zhang Chu was indeed well-trained, and there was no chaos or noise when a thousand people landed on the coast, and the soldiers behaved in moderation under the leadership of the commander. It's just that he didn't fully understand what this army should do if it came to actual combat.

Seeing Zhang Chu coming ashore, Mao Chengzuo also rushed over from afar to meet Zhang Chu to welcome.

After the two of them greeted each other, they entered the camp tent that had just been erected next to them, and the guests and hosts of the two sides sat down, Mao Chengzuo said: "Thank you Zhang Dashuai for crossing the sea to support the Dongjiang River, we Dongjiang people have been looking forward to this day for a long time." ”

"I'm not here to support you, I'm just going around with my troops, and by the way, let the soldiers train for landing operations, and I won't stay on Phi Island for too long." Zhang Chu's words made Mao Chengzuo puzzled and a little disappointed, is there such a casual turnaround? Lead the troops across the sea and mobilize the people. To his disappointment, it seems that the imperial court has not yet decided how to support Dongjiang, since Huanglong's death, Dongjiang has lost its leadership, not only did the imperial court not send troops to support Dongjiang, but also did not send anyone to replace Huanglong. At present, the Dongjiang people have neither food nor salaries and no leaders. Finally, a Zhang Chu came, but he came here to take a turn.

Zhang Chu saw that Mao Chengzuo was stunned and continued silently: "Although General Mao and I met for the first time, we also have a fate, there are many Liaodong people in our army, you can move around more when you have time, enhance the relationship between the two armies, maybe when we deal with the Houjin people in the future, we will have to fight side by side." When Zhang Chu sent most of Kong Youdeok's troops to Jeju Island, he left some of the best people to join the security forces, and these people were specially brought here during this operation.

Mao Chengzuo originally wanted to inquire about the situation outside the Dongjiang River, and it was not appropriate to walk around casually in the security army without Zhang Chu, and with Zhang Chu, he would have no scruples. Saying goodbye to Zhang Chu's camp, Mao Chengzuo walked around the security army camp under the leadership of Zhang Chu's personal soldiers, and everything in the camp made him feel novel.

There are only a few rumors circulating about the security forces in Dongjiang. I heard that they came to Shandong to quell Kong Youde's rebellion, and Kong Youde was forced to withdraw without a trace, and nothing else is known.

The first thing you see when you walk in the barracks of the security army is that it is completely different from the military uniforms of other Ming troops, the soldiers in the camp are not in a combat state, so they are not wearing armor, they are all wearing black uniforms, which look like a piece of black pressing, not only the color is different from the Ming army, but even the style is different, they are all short and neat styles, and there is no long skirt and jacket that the Ming army often wears.

Looking at the equipment of the security army, most of them are muskets, and there are very few cold weapons such as knives and spears.

The soldiers of the security army are busy packing up the items in the camp and setting up the defense facilities of the station, and they all have a good complexion on their faces, which is much stronger than those soldiers in Dongjiang who are full of vegetables because of lack of food and clothing.

After going around Zhang Chu's barracks, I really saw a lot of Liaodong soldiers, and the Dongjiang generals who followed Mao Chengzuo recognized a few acquaintances among them, and the two sides separated after greeting each other.

Leaving Zhang Chu's military camp and returning to his residence, Mao Chengzuo gathered his generals together to discuss countermeasures urgently, he didn't think that Zhang Chu was really okay to bring people around here. The generals under him also thought that Zhang Chu's trip was definitely not so simple, and he would have a plan for coming from afar, but it was not easy to say it in person, he let the Dongjiang people walk around the camp casually, and deliberately let them come into contact with the soldiers from Liaodong must have hinted at something.

Everyone discussed for a long time and didn't come up with a reason, and finally a general suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Have you noticed?" Who were those Liaodong soldiers before? ”

"A man of virtue." Someone finally remembered.

"Zhang Chu defeated Kong Youde, and it is not surprising that those people were defeated and took refuge in him."

"Didn't you say that Kong Youde finally ran out to sea with his men and horses? How could so many of Kong Youde's cronies fall into the hands of Zhang Chu, and Kong Youde has never been missing. ”

"No matter how they fell into the hands of Zhang Chu, this at least shows one thing, Zhang Chu can contain people from Liaodong. If he can take us in, we will have more ways to live. "Dongjiang is in a difficult situation right now, and it is very much in need of external help.

"What if they can be contained, Sun Yuanhua also contained Kong Youde and them back then, but in the end, it didn't make Kong Youde rebel, Sun Yuanhua himself died in prison. The people we want to take refuge in must be capable. “

"Go find a soldier in Zhang Chu's army who has a good relationship with you, bring him here to learn more about Zhang Chu's army and personality, and then we will decide what to do." In the end, it was Mao Chengzuo who made a decision.

Mao Chengzuo's people secretly went to the security camp and found their former acquaintances. The man was also happy, and asked the commander for leave, saying that he was going to meet a friend, so he came to the military camp in Dongjiang.

"The villain Wang Degui has seen General Mao." After all, Mao Chengzuo is Mao Wenlong's son, and everyone still respects him very much.

"What position do you have in the security forces now?" Mao Chengzuo already knew that Zhang Chu's team called itself the security army, and if this Wang Degui's position was higher, the more things he would know.

"I am a company commander in the security army, which is similar to the official position of a hundred households." Wang Degui was afraid that Mao Chengzuo wouldn't understand, so he finally explained.

Mao Chengzuo and the others didn't know if Wang Degui still remembered the old feelings, and tentatively said that they were curious about their general soldiers, and wanted to inquire about the situation of the general soldiers.

Wang Degui was very talkative, and boasted about Zhang Chu's exploits in Shandong, talking about how Zhang Chu was wise and brave enough to beat the rebels, completely forgetting that he was a member of the rebels at that time, and he was the one who was beaten.

Just as Wang Degui was on the rise, a general from Dongjiang interjected: "I don't know your General Zhang, what are you doing in Dongjiang this time?" ”

Wang Degui was interrupted and couldn't help but be stunned, and then said: "Mr. Zhang said, this time he just took us around. (To be continued.) )
