Mao Chengzuo returned to his military camp with mixed feelings, and listened to Zhang Chu's words, the imperial court did not attach much importance to Dongjiang Town, not only did not mention the matter of allocating food and salary, but also proposed to reorganize Dongjiang Town, I don't know whether it was Zhang Chu's meaning or the idea of Governor Denglai. Pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info but the days of the Dongjiang River are not good but it is true, the court said that it is to recover Lushun, I don't know when it will be realized, in recent years, the court has not recovered a lost city outside the pass.

When Mao Chengzuo was thinking nonsense, his own soldiers came to report, and the leaders of the other three associations in Dongjiang Town came, and Mao Chengzuo hurriedly went out to greet him.

Among the four people who respectively commanded the four associations of Dongjiang Town, Chen Jisheng, Liu Xingzhi, Mao Chengzuo, and Xu Futai were the deputy generals of Dongjiang Town, and his official position was the highest and the most prestigious among the four.

Mao Chengzuo walked out of the big tent and saw Chen Jisheng walking in front, Liu Xingzhi and Xu Futai following behind.

Mao Chengzuo hurriedly went over to greet him: "Hello three uncles." ”

"Chengzuo, what's the important matter that we three old guys need to be called?" After the Dongjiang military town was divided into four associations, it was not under the command of each other, and it was actually in a state of division, and there was not much communication between the main generals in peacetime. Although Mao Chengzuo is Mao Wenlong's son, due to the suddenness of Mao Wenlong's death, Mao Chengzuo's strength is weak and he cannot command the other three. In fact, this is also the result of Yuan Chonghuan's deliberate differentiation.

"The three uncles should go to the tent and talk in detail." Mao Chengzuo knew that there were many things involved that were inconvenient to speak in public, so he let the three of them into the military tent first.

When he arrived at the camp, Mao Chengzuo had already instructed, and his soldiers and attendants retreated.

"I see that there are a lot of Ming warships parked on the sea, did the imperial court send someone over?" Without waiting for Mao Chengzuo to speak, Chen Jisheng asked. They are also all concerned about the imperial court's attitude towards Dongjiang.

"It's the team of Zhang Chu, the chief soldier of Dengzhou, who said that he just went around here." Mao Chengzuo said helplessly.

"Didn't the governor of Denglai come over with an official letter?" Dongjiang Town was still nominally under the control of the governor of Denglai, and after the death of Huanglong, neither the imperial court nor the governor of Denglai had a clear statement.

Zhang Chu brought an official letter from Lord Xie Lian, but the official document said that everything was arranged by General Zhang. The general soldier Zhang just told me that the Dongjiang soldiers were no longer usable, they needed to be reorganized, and the generals also had to study, and if they didn't want to, they could take the money and leave. Mao Chengzuo had no choice but to tell everyone the news he got from Zhang Chu.

"This is his method, isn't this going to disband all the teams in Dongjiang? Zhang Chu is something pointing fingers here. After hearing this, Liu Xingzhi jumped up angrily without waiting for others to speak.

"What is the origin of this Zhang Chu? When we and Mao Dashuai were fighting Tatars in the Dongjiang River, he didn't know where he was. Now he says that we are useless, and he himself has a few pounds and taels. Xu Futai also said dissatisfiedly.

"Don't worry, let's wait for a while to meet this Zhang Chu and then make a decision, we have been operating Dongjiang for so many years, and we must not hand it over to others." Chen Jisheng must be a few years older and much calmer than others.

"Zhang Chu came to Phi Dao, why didn't he summon us to see him?" Chen Jisheng asked Mao Chengzuo.

Zhang Chu said that he was just going around here, and he asked for a million taels of silver from the emperor, saying that it was the main force to counterattack Lushun, and he didn't seem to care about the affairs of the Dongjiang River, and he even proposed that we continue to buy the local products of the Northeast and sell them to him to feed the soldiers. Mao Chengzuo simply told everyone what he said at the meeting with Zhang Chu.

"Let's meet Zhang Chu first, and then say, Dongjiang has been getting worse and worse in the past few years, and we should also make plans for the future. I don't think the imperial court's counterattack on Lushun will be successful. If it really doesn't work, we will ask Zhang Chu to tell Lord Xie Lian to allow us to return to Denglai. Chen Jisheng finally said.

The plan of the four people was decided, and they came directly to Zhang Chu's station.

Zhang Chu was very happy to meet them in the military tent, "It's great that the three seniors came to me together, but I didn't have a chance to meet the three big names earlier, it just so happens that the chiefs of the four associations of the Dongjiang River have arrived, and we can discuss the future development of the Dongjiang River together." Zhang Chu didn't have too much politeness, and he knew why these four people came, so he directly talked about the things they were most concerned about.

"What development can the Dongjiang have, the Dongjiang soldiers are all useless, what else can be developed." Liu Xingzhi's words were tingling.

"The Dongjiang soldiers didn't dare to fight head-on with the Houjin people on land, so they could only shrink on the island, which should be considered useless, right? Zhang Chu's words were also unceremoniously.

"Now the officers and troops of the Ming Dynasty can only rely on the most elite Guanning Iron Cavalry to resist the Tatars, so that we, the Dongjiang soldiers who are short of food and salary, can do anything, and now the Ming Dynasty does not seem to have a team that can compete with the same number of Houjin people." Xu Futai also argued.

"That's not true, my security forces have fought against the Tatars, and they have eliminated thousands of Tatars with fewer victories." Zhang Chu has the capital he can brag about.

"The security army is really brave, and at the same time, it also relies on the command of Zhang Chu's general soldiers." Chen Jisheng decided to say something to ease the atmosphere.

"My command doesn't play a big role, the security army has undergone strict training and has fixed combat regulations, and if the Dongjiang Army is reorganized, it can also defeat the Houjin people." Zhang Chu is not modest, and he will not destroy the morale of the security army at any time.

Chen Jisheng was still much calmer than Mao Chengzuo, and he was not impatient when he heard Zhang Chu say that the Dongjiang Army would be reorganized, but asked: "General Zhang said that he wanted to reorganize the Dongjiang Army, but I don't know how to reorganize it?" “

"My idea is that the Dongjiang soldiers will be selected, leaving the elite to train using the same regulations as the security forces, and I will equip them with the corresponding weapons to achieve the ability to confront a comparable number of Houjin people in the field. The eliminated personnel worked in agriculture or business in the Dongjiang area, and engaged in production under the protection of the army. Officers in the army must undergo appropriate training before they can be reinstated, after all, the tactics and tactics after the reorganization are different from before. Those who adapt can stay, and those who do not adapt can leave voluntarily. Zhang Chu saw that Chen Jisheng and others had arrived, and took the opportunity to explain his adaptation ideas.

"Are you really going to give the departing officer a piece of money?" It is true that some people have felt tired after fighting in Dongjiang for many years, if the money given by Zhang Chu is enough, there are not a few people who are willing to leave to live a stable life in the future, if Zhang Chu is really rich, it is possible to buy the officers of Dongjiang with money and buy the Dongjiang Islands.

"This is what you deserve, you have held on to the Dongjiang River for many years, restrained a large number of troops in Houjin, and made them dare not enter the customs easily, which is meritorious to the Ming Dynasty, and now the situation is unfavorable to retreat to the customs to recuperate, which is also as it should be. However, I personally believe that at the moment when the gold and silver mountains are exhausted, it is better for everyone to stay in Dongjiang and develop. Zhang Chu said sincerely.

"Is there any way to survive in Dongjiang?" Chen Jisheng asked with a sigh. (To be continued.) )
