Zhang Chu's reorganization of the Dongjiang Islands has been very smooth, and the security forces have formed a complete system of receiving new recruits in the past few years, and it has become a tradition to use the old to lead the new in the ranks. At the same time www.biquge.info the scene of the security army fighting under the noses of the Dongjiang soldiers has been rumored to be miraculous, and the soldiers who were not present at that time were also infected by others, and they were in awe of the security army.

During the period when the security army was stationed on Phi Island, Zhang Chu did not let them be idle, and many security army soldiers who were originally from Liaodong took the initiative to contact the people on the island.

Using the identity of a fellow countryman to make a family life, the current life of the security army, the treatment of the security army makes the people of Phi Dao envious, not to mention that the military salary paid on time and in full can allow the soldiers and their families to live a stable life. Therefore, the soldiers still hoped that Zhang Chu would reorganize the Dongjiang Army as soon as possible, so that he could get his food and salary as soon as possible. Therefore, when the security army split the Dongjiang Army and distributed it to different armies, the soldiers did not have much resistance.

Zhang Chu, a soldier who was eliminated in the screening, also arranged some simple jobs on the island, and then paid them to make ends meet, and even some disabled soldiers symbolically cleaned the streets on the island a few times and then received relief.

The officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang River experienced a major earthquake, and some of the young people who liked the military life continued to stay in the army, and were gathered together by Zhang Chu to form a temporary military academy, and the officers who were transferred from here gave lectures every day, and the tactics of the security army must be very different from those of other teams, and these people would not be sent to be officers at the grassroots level until they passed the examination, and then they would determine their future positions according to their abilities.

He was still very concerned about Mao Chengzuo and Zhang Chu, and originally thought that he would choose to take some money and leave the Dongjiang River, but he saw the hope of destroying Houjin in the battle between the security army and the Tatars, and he wanted to stay in Liaodong to see the day when Final Fantasy defeated Houjin. Zhang Chu wanted to arrange him to be a staff officer under him for a while, so that he was high-level and safe, and he didn't have to lower his status to study with others. But Mao Chengzuo refused, in his words: "Dongjiang is no longer surnamed Mao, and I myself am still surnamed Mao, and I will never embarrass the Mao family." In fact, he understood that Yuan Chonghuan left him in Dongjiang as a guise to balance all parties, and this time Zhang Chu carried out a thorough transformation of the Dongjiang Army, he didn't even have the value of the pretense, and he really had to rely on his own hard work to keep the Mao family and turn over one day. After Mao Wenlong's death, he has matured a lot in Dongjiang in recent years.

Some high-ranking or upper-grade generals in the Dongjiang Army understood that it would be difficult for them to develop after the reorganization of the Dongjiang Army, so they took the initiative to withdraw from the army. Some of them took Zhang Chu's settlement money and left the Dongjiang River. Chen Jisheng and other old men did not leave at Zhang Chu's suggestion, but stayed in Dongjiang to set up the Dongjiang Trading Company, preparing to resume the trading activities that Mao Wenlong had engaged in before.

According to Zhang Chu's plan, the Dongjiang Trading Company would be a semi-militarized organization, and they would cooperate in carrying weapons for their own protection, while also smuggling weapons to the northeast and the Han Chinese.

Zhang Chu reorganized the Dongjiang Army in Phi Dao, busy in full swing, but Huang Taiji in Shenyang felt more and more uneasy, he sent to the Dongjiang area to pick up Liu Xingzhi's men and horses who surrendered after so many days have passed, but there is no news, it is a Niu Lu's elite troops of the Houjin. The biggest weakness of the Houjin is the sparse population, every time there is a big battle, the people of various tribes must be gathered, and the Mongols or the surrendered Han people are driven to be cannon fodder, the real Houjin people will only go to the battlefield when they attack the fortifications, this time it is because of the existence of Zhang Chu, Huang Taiji is willing to send so many elites. But this also brought a trouble, if Liu Xingzhi faked surrender and set up a scam to eliminate this Houjin army, it would be a huge blow to Huang Taiji's prestige, at least there was responsibility for improper command.

The uneasy Emperor Taiji sent several groups of probe horses to the Dongjiang area, but they found nothing. Zhang Chu's reorganization of the Dongjiang River also strengthened the control of various localities, and in addition to the strict discipline of the army, all non-military personnel were also included in the management of Baojia. The number of people entering and leaving the islands is strictly controlled, and it is difficult for news to spread from the islands.

In the end, news was sent back from the court of the Ming Dynasty, indicating that the army had won a great victory, and thousands of men and horses of Houjin had been eliminated, and Liu Xingzhi and others were killed. Huang Taiji was annoyed, and he was really deceived by Liu Xingzhi. At the same time, Huang Taiji's hatred for Zhang Chu became stronger, the strength of the Dongjiang military town was constantly weakened, the scope of activities was getting smaller and smaller, and it had shrunk to the island, and the threat to the Houjin was getting smaller and smaller.

In order to quench the anger in his heart, and at the same time to save his reputation, Huang Taiji decided to revenge.

Zhang Chu's several attacks had already hurt the Houjin people, so Huang Taiji attached great importance to this operation. He mobilized 10,000 men from various tribes, and appointed Yue Tuo, who had done a great job in the recent capture of Lushun, as his commander. The main purpose of this time is to find Zhang Chu for a decisive battle, it is best to eliminate Zhang Chu, if Zhang Chu escapes, then at least take one or two Dongjiang islands to deter the Dongjiang region, so that they do not dare to move casually and threaten the safety of Houjin.

Yue Tuo received another order to attack the Ming army, which made him very excited, thinking that another opportunity to make meritorious service had come, not only could he improve his position, but also a large number of captures were available, which would be of great help to improve his strength. With the reform of Huang Taiji, the Jurchens had the rudiments of state power from the original tribal alliance, and the tribes paid more and more attention to their status in the imperial court, and various power struggles became acute.

The Houjin army has always had no sense of secrecy, and they left their territory and came to the area where the Han people lived, and burned all the way.

After Zhang Chu took over the Dongjiang River, he first tried to extend his tentacles to the land, and paid money and goods for the Dongjiang veterans to establish contact with the Han people on the land in the previous area of activity. The news of the Houjin troops soon spread to Phi Dao, and the top and bottom of Phi Dao became nervous, and the scale of the Houjin people's troops reached 10,000 people, and there has always been a saying that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible." "Tens of thousands of Houjin people are fully capable of capturing large cities that are frontally defended by the Ming army, and this pressure is too great for Dongjiang.

Since the Houjin people came to attack, Zhang Chu in Phi Island must find a way to defend it, and he can't escape back to Shandong with his fleet, and the strategic places on the Dongjiang River can't be lost, let alone the soldiers and people in the Dongjiang River.

The decision to stick to it is easy to make, but how to keep it is a problem, the old people of Dongjiang thought of the old way, let everyone retreat to the island, if the Houjin people can't find enough boats, everyone will be safe.

Zhang Chu's thoughts were different from everyone's, and he decided to send troops to the land to deal with the Houjin people. (To be continued.) )
