Mao Wenlong listened to his words quietly, his eyes flashed, and he couldn't see any happy expression on the surface.

After coming here, in addition to recovering the coastal islands, he also sent letters everywhere to appease the puppet officials of the forts, hoping that they would take the initiative to defect to the imperial court.

Although no one has taken the initiative to vote yet, there are already a large number of gentry and officers in the forts who secretly communicate with him.

But this person Xu Liu came too coincidentally, he couldn't believe it.

If this is a bureau set up by the enemy, then more than 200 of them will be confessed inside.

"My lord, this is a great time to seize Zhenjiang Fort."

Wang Yining saw that Mao Wenlong didn't mean to be moved at all, so he said softly.

Mao Wenlong signaled him not to be in a hurry, and then continued to ask, "How many soldiers are there in Zhenjiang Fort now?" What is the state of defense? ”

"Now there are about 400 soldiers in Zhenjiang Fort, and because the pseudo-guerrilla Tong Yangzhen already knows the news that the adults have come to Liaodong, the fort is quite well defended."

Xu Liu said: "It's just that most of these soldiers are oriented to the Ming Dynasty and are not willing to die for Jiannu. As long as they heard that the heavenly soldiers were coming, most of them would be in trouble. ”

Two hundred years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, its orthodox ideas have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Many people don't believe that the Jurchens can win the world, they all think that the Ming Dynasty is only a temporary defeat, and they will fight back sooner or later.

Moreover, the Jurchens behaved barbaricly, and treated the Han people with brutality and abnormality, they not only robbed all the Han land, but also regarded the Han people as their own property, and massacres were common.

Coupled with the forced shaving of hair, the people of Liaodong hated the Jurchens to the extreme at that time, and the struggles against the Jurchens in various parts of Liaodong rose one after another, and never stopped.

After Mao Wenlong came to Liaodong, he had just conquered Zhenjiang Fort, and immediately the fort officials who tied up the Tang Station and the Second Fort of the Dangerous Mountain came to surrender, and people's yearning for the Ming Dynasty at that time can be seen from this.

And those historical books written by the Manchus and some Manchu minions, the so-called brutal rule of the Han people in Liaodong against the Jurchens, are absolutely nonsense.

Hearing his words, Mao Wenlong's face was a little heavy.

There were more than 400 soldiers, and the soldiers he brought with him were not more than 200.

If you add those recruits who have not been recruited for a long time, there are only more than 400 at full capacity.

But those tunding were recruited for less than ten days, and they could only be called civilians at best.

So this strength is still quite different!

"How many men did they send out?"

Mao Wenlong asked again.

"They numbered about six hundred, including a hundred cavalry and five hundred infantry."

Xu Liu said.

This means that there are about 1,000 people in Zhenjiang Fort, which is really a hard nut to crack, and it is not easy to capture Zhenjiang with his strength.

Mao Wenlong thought secretly.

"What are the weapons they are equipped with? How many birds, how many artillery......"

Mao Wenlong continued to ask.

Xu Liu answered his questions one by one.

After Mao Wenlong asked all the questions he wanted to ask, he asked people to take him down and arrange a place for him to live.

Tomorrow he will take a letter of absence, and let him take it back.

After Xu Liu left, Wang Yining said to Mao Wenlong: "My lord, you can't trust him?" ”

Wang Yining is also a fairie person, and he can see Mao Wenlong's worries at a glance.

Mao Wenlong nodded and said, "That's right, now that the forts have known the news of our arrival, the official is worried that Tong Yang really wants to ambush the official." ”

Wang Yining also knew that Mao Wenlong's worries were not unreasonable, Mao Wenlong's strength was too weak and could not withstand a little loss.

"My lord, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If the enemy's army returns, then it will be impossible to capture Zhenjiang Fort again. ”

Wang Yining said earnestly.

"I know."

Mao Wenlong nodded and said.

Once the Zhenjiang Fort army returned, then in the face of the enemy's 1,000 army, their chances of taking Zhenjiang Fort were almost zero.

"Actually, this official is not unprepared."

Mao Wenlong suddenly said with a smile on his face.

"Do you have any other plans?"

Wang Yining hurriedly asked.

"Do you know who the Zhenjiang Fort army is?"

Mao Wenlong asked with a smile.

"It seems to be Chen Liangce."

Wang Yining thought for a while and said.

Since he took refuge in Mao Wenlong, he has also made a lot of efforts against the enemy forces on the other side, and he still remembers those main generals.

Mao Wenlong nodded, "One thing you probably don't know, he is our guard Ding Wenli's brother-in-law." ”

"Is there such a thing?"

Wang Yining said with a look of surprise.

"That's right, in fact, a few days ago, Ding Shoubei had already explained this matter to the official, and the official ordered him to sneak into Zhenjiang Fort and contact Chen Liangce. And Chen Liangce also promised that as long as our army attacked the city, he was willing to respond internally. ”

Mao Wenlong said proudly.

"That's really congratulations, congratulations. With these two internal responses, Zhenjiang Fort is already in the pocket of adults. ”

Wang Yining hurriedly made a long look and said.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang is too polite, it's not too late to wait until Zhenjiang Fort is captured. Come, let's go into the house and talk about it in detail. ”

Mao Wenlong said with a laugh.

"Your Excellency, please!"

***

On Ocean Island, Chen Zhong and the others were surprised after receiving Mao Wenlong's order.

"What did your lord tell us to do at Mikushi Castle?"

Chen Zhong asked with some confusion.

Lately they have been winning a series of battles, and their losses are negligible due to the magic of the arrows.

So their morale is getting higher and higher, but they didn't expect to suddenly receive an order from Mao Wenlong to go to North Korea.

"The lord didn't say anything, just asked Mr. Chen Qian to bring your subordinates to the meeting as soon as possible."

Mao Wenlong's personal soldier said.

"Adults naturally have their own reasons for doing this, we just need to obey orders, what do you want to do so much?"

Qian Zong Wang Fu said with a big grin.

"There should be a big move, otherwise we wouldn't have brought our subordinates with us."

Lu Yan said with a smile.

It seems that the capture of Zhenjiang Fort will still take place according to the course of history, and I can't miss this big battle that will go down in history.

"Did the adults transfer Mr. Zhang Qian's men back?"

You Jinghe asked.

"That's right, my lord ordered that all but those who stayed behind should be transferred back."

The pro-soldier said.

Hearing this, the atmosphere here immediately became solemn.

With so many soldiers and horses mobilized, it seems that there is a chance that there will be another big war.

"Okay, don't think about it that much today. The gentry of the island brought us pork and mutton, and we will have a good meal today, and then we will go back tomorrow to restore our lives. ”

Chen Zhong said.

"Good!"

"Good!"

The crowd responded with a bang.

"Even if you have to die in battle tomorrow, you have to be a full ghost today."

Wang Fuwei said with a smile.

"Hahaha!"

"Lord Wang is right!"

Everyone else laughed.

In fact, when they came to Liaodong, almost everyone had the intention of dying.

With the exception of a few people, no one was sure that they would survive the ensuing battle.

Therefore, each of them enjoys everything now to the greatest extent, as the so-called wine today and drunk tomorrow, tomorrow sorrow and tomorrow sorrow, it is very practical to describe them.

So they began to drink and eat meat, and almost all of them got drunk until they left for North Korea the next day.

Lü Yan never imagined that he would one day set foot on Korean soil, not as a tourist, but as a military attache of the Ming Dynasty.

In his previous life, he was not a Kazakh ethnic group, so he had no interest in traveling to South Korea at all.

I didn't expect to come to North Korea in this life, and it is likely that I came to fight.

After stepping on the land of North Korea, Lu Yan could only sigh and sigh at the impermanence of the world.

It turned out that the status of the military attache of the upper country was very useful.

Some local civil and military officials in the DPRK hurriedly came to greet them, and they were also very kind to them, and they did not dare to slack off.

This greatly satisfied Lu Yan's vanity.

In later generations, it was often heard that South Korea's stick exclusion was not only unfriendly to foreigners except for whites, but also very rude, and it was definitely one of the countries with the most serious racial discrimination.

Blacks, for example, are often compared to gorillas by Koreans and seen as an uncivilized race.

Even the Chinese are called a treasurer, and the Internet is full of malicious attacks on China.

Now it is completely different, after the Ming Dynasty helped Korea drive the Japanese out of Korea, at least the vast majority of the Korean military and civilians were grateful to the Ming Dynasty from the bottom of their hearts.

Without the Ming Dynasty, their North Korea would have perished long ago.

Moreover, now North Korea is full of Haming people, both in the court and among the people, and everyone is proud to speak Chinese.

Since King Sejong the Great invented the Korean language, there have been ministers who have proposed to promote the Korean language in Korea, but this has been opposed by the whole country.

Because the Ming Dynasty was the core of the entire East Asian cultural circle at that time, Chinese was the common language of East Asia, and Japan, Mongolia, Jurchen, and Vietnam were all proud to be proficient in Chinese.

Chinese was the real high-level language at that time, and Korean was a low-level language in their minds, even Yi.

Those high-ranking North Korean officials were proud to speak fluent Chinese, while those who did not speak Chinese were regarded as vulgar.

The promotion of the Korean language is absolutely self-excluding from the East Asian cultural circle and will be despised by all East Asian countries.

Therefore, the Chinese language is still very popular in Korea, and even Korean history books are recorded in Chinese.

After arriving in North Korea, Lü Yan found an opportunity to leave the army with Gan Fly.

After the last few days of fighting, he has accumulated 1,360 points of merit. Since he had been sailing from island to island, he summoned the soldiers and couldn't explain where they came from, so he had to accumulate them all.

And now, it's finally time to cash them out.

Soon two young men dressed in cloth clothes, with a long bow on their backs and long swords tied to their waists, appeared in front of him.

"Feiwei (Ji Chang) has seen Childe."

The two men bowed to Lu Yan and said.
