Chapter 125: Blood Dripping from My Heart
Mao Wenlong was restless in the general military office of Phi Dao at this time, this winter is the same as in previous years, Mao Wenlong led the main force of the Phi Dao Army in Phi Dao, Guanglu Island, and Mao Dong on Changshan Island, and now the sea ice on the coast is melting, but there is still ice wandering, which is still risky for the small sea ships on Phi Dao to go to sea, so it will take more than ten days for the fleet to sail and establish contact with Iron Mountain.
However, just two days ago, billowing black smoke rose from the direction of Tieshan, which was very conspicuous in the winter sky, Mao Wenlong knew that it was broken, it must be Jiannu who was committed, what Koreans, did they have the courage to do so, which made him anxious.
After all, Tieshan is his hard work for several years, to go to the peak, extort Li Chao's money and grain, offend how many people, and be forced to garrison troops in Tuntian on the border of North Korea, and in a few more years, he will be able to train more than 10,000 elite soldiers, you know, Denglai gave Shidao money and food is very limited, less than one-tenth of Liaozhen, Mao Wenlong, who is quite ambitious, knows that Phi Dao has to have a head, and hopes that it will be in Tuntian, North Korea, Jiannu's burning, killing and looting also helped him a lot, hundreds of thousands of Liao people are in exile in the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong only sighs that there is not enough money and food, otherwise Tuntian will store soldiers and people, In this way, tens of thousands of elite soldiers can be achieved in a few years.
Despite this, Mao Wenlong still tried all means to collect money, eat empty salaries, smuggle with North Korea, build slaves, sell ginseng and wood in Liaodong to get money, and extort a large amount of money from North Korea, most of which was used in the Tieshan Tuntian, so he was not a person inside and outside the Ming Dynasty, but this is all Mao Wenlong's hope, and he confessed to some charges for this.
After 20 years in Liaodong Rongma, he understood that only with soldiers in his hands could he maintain the power and glory of himself and his family, as evidenced by Li Chengliang in Liaodong, Liaodong Town was a semi-independent feudal town at that time.
Yes, Mao Wenlong is to Li Chengliang as an example, so, the successive governors of Denglai wanted to meddle in the Dongjiang Army, he participated with him, in order to fight with Denglai and the so-called scholars in the court, and retain the power of the Dongjiang army, he even stooped down to make friends with the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, for his previous year's tribute, built a shrine, and took on the infamy of the eunuch party, Jiannu sent troops to send troops to the Dongjiang Army in Jinzhou, Haizhou, Lushun, Phoenix, Zhenjiang Fort several big fierce battles, countless small battles, were carried by Mao Wenlong, this is all for the Dongjiang River.
Dongjiang is also in the conquest of Liaodong in the past few years, from hundreds of soldiers gathered into the Mao clan, Zhang Pan, Mao Chenglu, Shen Shikui, Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming, Geng Zhongyu, Geng Jingzhong and other dozens of cadres and tens of thousands of soldiers, as well as hundreds of thousands of Liao people composed of Dongjiang Town, but the island is narrow, there is no prospect, and the Iron Mountain is the hope of the Dongjiang River, Mao Wenlong plans to spread the boundary of the Iron Mountain outward, forming a small Liaodong Town, at this time how to build slaves into Kou Tieshan not to make him anxious.
Mao Wenlong immediately ordered the sailors to send ships to the southern tip of the Tieshan Peninsula, and sent scouts to find out the truth of the Iron Mountain, and made a fate, if they can't find out the truth and don't come back.
Now, a day has passed, and there is still no information from the island.
Mao Wenlong was really anxious, now he is also in his early fifties, and the torment of a few days also made him feel a little unwell, his throat was swollen and sore, his eyes were full of red silk, he paced indoors for a quarter of an hour, sat down tiredly, and asked the maid to make fragrant tea and plan to take a nap, at this moment, the chaotic footsteps outside sounded,
"My lord, the sentry ahead has returned." Mao Wenlong's righteous son Mao Chenglu came in to report. Mao Chenglu is nearly thirty years old, with a stout body and a vicious appearance, he has always been the only one who is from Mao Wenlong, and everyone else ignores it, and is promoted by Mao Wenlong, and now he is a general in Dongjiang Town, the head of Mao Wenlong's many righteous sons, and a group of cronies who are in charge of Mao Wenlong, and Mao Wenlong's most trusted subordinates.
"Oh, how about Iron Mountain." Mao Wenlong hurriedly asked.
"This," Mao Chenglu hesitated, and before Mao Chenglu didn't say a word to the night, he took them to the main town to meet the general soldiers, but he just knew the general idea. "My lord, my subordinates have brought it to the night and will not accept it, the bow of the two Cangshan boats, waiting for the adults to inquire carefully."
Mao Wenlong nodded slightly, from Mao Chenglu's hesitant performance, it was not a very good result, since this was the case, Mao Wenlong was not so urgent, anyway, the boat was naturally straight to the bridge.
Mao Chenglu went out and brought four people in, and as soon as the four military households entered the room, they hurriedly knelt down.
"My subordinates say hello to the marshal."
Mao Wenlong bowed his head slightly, and supported him with his hand, "You don't have to be polite, get up, Chenglu, help them up." ”
When a few people heard this, how could they let General Mao Shen help them and hurriedly got up.
"Tell me how Iron Mountain is now." Mao Wenlong asked.
"My lord, the small led more than ten people to climb the Iron Mountain, and found that there was no one near the wharf, until they went deep into the Tuanshan Fort three miles away, and found a few fifty or sixty-year-old people outside the fort, and heard them say, on the ninth day of the first month, the Denglai Army sent people to pass Bing Jiannu into the Kou, and all the people and horses withdrew from the Iron Mountain to Shandong, so the people and horses of the Iron Mountain were withdrawn to the east coast wharf, they were difficult to leave their homeland, and they did not believe that Jiannu could enter the North Korea, so they stayed, who knew that on the fifteenth day, all the dungeons were set on fire, and Jiannu really entered the Kou, They hid in the field and saw Jiannu's sentinels. As for how many Jiannu people there were, they didn't know, the small ones probed two miles, and saw a fort burned down, and found more than a dozen sentry spies near Jiannu, and the small ones fought and lost four brothers before they got rid of Jiannu, returned to the shore, and returned to the island. A man in leather armor knelt down.
Mao Wenlong felt a lot of pain in his heart, the Tieshan Tun Residence took tens of thousands of taels of silver to build just Huodun, Tunbao, and Tieshan City for several years, and now they have all been burned down, how not to make him feel distressed.
"Don't worry, my lord, Jiannu just burned down the houses, the city walls and so on can't be burned, and when Jiannu retreats, our army can renovate." Mao Chenglu knew Mao Wenlong's thoughts, and hurriedly comforted Mao Wenlong.
That's also tens of thousands of taels. Mao Wenlong frowned and looked at the other team leader.
"The small one entered the Iron Mountain from another place, and met the Jiannu scouts less than two miles, and lost five people to retreat, and did not see the Ming people, but only saw the bodies of dozens of military families and family members, and two tunbao were burned." The other man in cotton armor bowed and replied.
"It's over," Mao Wenlong sat on the chair in pain, he knew that his heart was finished, and there was no luck in letting Huang Taiji send an army into North Korea, he was not like the sour and rotten Wenchen in the court, applauding the death of the old slave, he was at the forefront of resisting slaves, he was well versed in the reality of building slaves, and he welcomed the perverse actions of the old slaves, but unfortunately his life was too short, Huang Taiji was not easy to get along with, young and resourceful, ambitious. Hey, that's a pity.
"Dashuai." Mao Chenglu looked at Mao Wenlong worriedly.
Mao Wenlong didn't say a word and waved them to retreat, he had to think about it.
On the morning of the 18th day of the first lunar month, more than a dozen Cangshan boats and sentinel ships of the Dongjiang Navy Division scattered eastward to explore the West Korean Bay.
Lan Xu was in his early thirties, he was a sailor of the Liaodong Naval Division in his early years, stationed in Lushun all the year round, and was assigned to the Dongjiang Naval Division four years ago, and is now the bow of the Cangshan Ship Shuangdao, and today he was ordered to go east with the Cangshan Ship of Miaodao to Shenmi Island to investigate the enemy's situation. There are other sentinel ships that go in other directions.
