Two hours later, Wu Jicheng and Zhang Yizhen, who returned to the general's mansion again, faced each other silently, with mixed feelings and sorrows.

Sun Siqi, who was tall and thin and had super long arms, sat crookedly on a wide chair beside him and leisurely sipped tea, chatting with his deputy from time to time, and did not get together at all to discuss Wu Jicheng and other generals of the Dongjiang New Army in a low voice.

In the face of the order signed by Zhu Daolin, Wu Jicheng and Zhang Yizhen did not help to disobey no matter how distressed they were, and Wu Jicheng, who was full of reluctance, reluctantly squeezed out a smile and came to Sun Siqi to sit down: "Monkey, can you be accommodating and leave the officers above the battalion commander in the third division?" ”

Sun Siqi, who was full of long hair, nodded reservedly: "This can satisfy you, but 6,500 recruits are indispensable, and the weapons and equipment can be left to you along with their padded jackets, steel helmets, and chain mail, which is not uncommon." ”

Wu Jicheng and Zhang Yizhen finally got some comfort, but Sun Siqi's last sentence annoyed everyone again, thinking that the more than 6,000 Liaodong men that Lao Tzu finally recruited back had been training for more than four months, and seeing that the army was about to come in handy, now that Zhu Dashuai gave an order, it would be okay, your grandson didn't say anything uncommon, is there such an annoyance?

The old Zhang Yizhen quietly held down Wu Jicheng, who was about to get angry, and pouted to several lieutenant generals on the side, signaling them to go out for the time being, and then happily turned to the invincible Sun Siqi: "Brother, they are all old brothers who know the roots, don't play prestige in front of us, brother just wants to ask you, why did you send this group of recruits from our place where we are going to fight at any time to go south to Yingzhou?" ”

Sun Siqi put down the teacup, knocked on the coffee table contemptuously, and asked loudly: "As an important general in charge of the Korean battlefield, I have forgotten the 100,000 Liaodong people who have moved to Yingzhou in the past few months, and this kind of brain can command tens of thousands of troops?" Gee! ”

Zhang Yizhen and Wu Jicheng suddenly blushed, and they could only sigh after looking at each other for a moment.

"Monkey, you speak lightly. We call this concern chaos, alas! is also said, in the past few months, there are no less than 100,000 Liao people who have moved to Yingzhou, and they really need a trustworthy soldier to sit on the side...... Looking at the meaning of the big handsome, maybe tens of thousands of Liao people from all over North Korea will be sent to Yingzhou, and it will be difficult to endure without food and clothing in winter! ”

Wu Jicheng finally understood Zhu Daolin's good intentions. But I don't understand that there is another important reason why Zhu Daolin did this, that is, he did not want to let the relatively independent Dongjiang New Army become too powerful, so he split his forces in advance just in case.

Sun Siqi saw that Wu Jicheng was convinced, so he showed a smile: "Don't feel distressed, let alone don't worry about the lack of troops to fight Jinzhou, before the end of the year, the well-equipped first division of the Fushan Army and five cavalry regiments will come over, and the marshal will also personally lead the first batch of students of the Martial Arts Academy and the personal guard battalion to the north and personally command the second Liaodong Campaign." A few of you are waiting for meritorious service. ”

Wu Jicheng and Zhang Yizhen were very happy, and they didn't jump up when they saw Sun Siqi's playful gaze, they stroked their palms and laughed at the moment, and shouted and shouted for wine with joy.

Who knew that Sun Siqi immediately stood up and solemnly stated: "It's free to put the wine on the table, Lao Tzu has quit drinking!" It's better to hurry up and go through the handover procedures, I have to lead the recruits back to Baoshanwei to start training as soon as possible, I can't always watch you make meritorious contributions! ”

……

……

A transport fleet of forty-six cargo ships. The small Phi Island North Port can only berth two large and one small cargo ships at the same time.

No matter how many garrisons and coolies there are on the island. It was not possible to unload the full cargo of 46 large and small cargo ships in a short time, not to mention the fact that four of the large ships were loaded with hundreds of large and small guns, 2,000 barrels of gunpowder and ********, more than 500 boxes of flintlock muskets, 15 large boxes of small animal-powered machine tools for ordnance repair, and 8,000 pieces of chain mail and tens of thousands of steel helmets.

It was not until the evening of the next day that four new 700-ton armed merchant ships and two 500-ton cargo ships were unloaded.

Sun Siqi and Deputy Division Commander Ma Yuchi did not eat dinner and led more than 5,800 unarmed recruits from Liaodong to board the ship. With the help of the increasingly cold north wind, he sailed south to Baoshanwei, seized the time to form his own Third Marine Division, and then went to Yingzhou to participate in the war.

On the morning of the second day when more than 5,800 recruits left Phi Island. Huang Taiji, a short and fat Houjin Khan with curved eyebrows and thin eyes, suddenly appeared on Yuanbao Mountain on the north bank of the Yalu River.

More than a dozen Beizi, Baylor and nearly 1,000 brave armor guards who accompanied him wore dark leather clothes and scattered around Huangtaiji, looking at the new city of Yiju with dozens of red and black battle flags fluttering on the opposite bank under the golden glow.

Huang Taiji, who had reached the top of the mountain, gasped slightly, the hem of his sable coat was wet with withered grass and frost flowers, and a large mouthful of white mist continued to erupt from between his blue lips.

After a long period of pranayama, Huang Taiji took the monocular presented by his fourteenth brother Dolgon, raised it to his right eye, and carefully observed the new city of Uiju on the other side.

The two respectful attendants standing behind Huang Taiji were both Han Chinese, the old civil official with a face full of vicissitudes and big bags under his eyes was called Fan Wencheng, a military general with a tall body and a strong body, that is, Shang Kexi, who was awarded the chief officer of the Han army with a blue flag less than four months after his surrender.

Scattered around Beizi, Baylor and a few Gushan Ezhen, have raised their monoculars, this place is 3.5 kilometers away from the Yizhou New Town on the opposite bank in a straight line, the sky is high and the clouds are faint, the sight is very good, but the Yalu River that has not yet frozen is sparkling and a little dazzling under the rising sun, but you can still clearly see the battle flags fluttering on the Yizhou New Town, and you can clearly see the well-equipped officers and soldiers on the city, as well as the steel helmets on the heads and the silver chain mail on the bodies.

"Great Khan, look, there are people watching us on the platform above the castle in the northwest corner of Yiju New Town!" The commander of the guards, who was located on the abrupt rock below Huangtaiji, raised his head to report.

Huang Taiji smiled calmly: "Let's look at others, don't we allow people to look at us...... Hey? Why are the cylinders surrounded by the Dongjiang Army on the platform so thick? And a shiny tripod, it can't be a big monocular, right? ”

On the left, Heshuo Belle Amin was still holding a telescope, and he didn't hear anyone answer Huang Taiji's inquiry, so he complained angrily:

"If you make a big monocular, it's nothing, but you can see more clearly, and what I'm worried about is the binoculars in the hand of the enemy general who just ran up to the city, which is said to be very lightweight, and can see whether the horses are male or female more than ten miles away......

"This kind of never-before-seen sharp weapon has long appeared in the Dongjiang New Army, three days two to the coast near the coast of the Ming warship to spy on this thing, the Dongjiang New Army is each battalion at least two pairs, but we only have Shanxi merchants sold the Franc machine monoculars, see three or five miles is okay, more than eight miles to see all the fog."

"What the second brother said is that in the past few months, our small patrol horse team has been attacked by the spies of the Dongjiang New Army who have come in, if it weren't for the fourth brother's plan to set up an ambush and finally kill their seven spies, maybe the Dongjiang New Army will be arrogant, and the reason why we have suffered such a big loss is that our weapons and equipment are not as good as others."

Because of the uneven distribution, the angry Dolgon echoed loudly.

Everyone on the side didn't dare to speak, and they didn't dare to look at themselves, so they continued to look at the new city of Uiju on the other side and pretended not to hear. (To be continued.) )
