Chapter 436: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump

Golden State City, Jiangfu.

After the others finished expressing their opinions, the young Guangludao general Shang Kexi thought for a while, and said loudly: "Phi Dao is different from our Jinzhou Wei, it is the territory that the emperor and the imperial court clearly divided to Zhu Daolin, and the old General Shen on the island has been secretly in contact with the rebellious Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, and they do not listen to orders, and it is understandable that Zhu Daolin, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, who was ordered by Qin, to clean up. ”

"Yo, don't think you're fine, according to the notice of the Ministry of War, Guanglu Island, where you are stationed now, also belongs to Zhu Daolin's jurisdiction, and if he doesn't trouble you, I'm afraid he hasn't pulled out his hand yet."

Commanding Gao Mingcheng to say a sentence in a strange way.

Shang Kexi laughed: "If he really wants Guanglu Island, I will give it to him, but he has never said that he wants to occupy Guanglu Island!" ”

"In the past two months, the patrol boats sent by Phi Dao have been passing by near my Hiroshishima Island, repeatedly surveying the water conditions along the coast for hundreds of miles, and every time they pass by Hiroshima Island, Changshan Island, and Oshika Island, where my brothers are stationed, they will greet us kindly and give us a lot of things."

"I heard from my brothers who went to Phi Island to sell salt and said that Phi Island is very different from the past, the island has built a lot of construction to expand the wharf, and two large forts have been built, and the three wealthy merchants of Beizhili and several major families such as the Choi family and the Li family of North Korea have jointly opened a trading house and a money house on the island, and nearly 100 ships full of goods come to Phi Island to trade every day......

"A large number of mountain goods, horses, cattle, and grain from Liaodong and Korea were transported to the northern Zhili and Jiangnan regions, and business was booming, and the nearly 10,000 new troops stationed on the island had sufficient food and wages, all iron helmets and leather armor, and muskets, and were equipped with more than 30 great generals' cannons.

"I heard that their officers and soldiers have a minimum salary of 2 taels of silver per month, and they are given four sets of military uniforms and sturdy canvas shoes free of charge every year. In winter, everyone has a cotton coat and a cotton hat, and there is never a shortage of meat for three meals a day. ”

It was the first time that the generals heard the news, and after being shocked, their hearts were on fire, and they couldn't help but talk loudly, and finally looked at the contemplative general Huang Long. Asked Zhu Daolin to ask the headquarters to cooperate with such a high price, can it really be cashed in?

Huang Long wiped the thick beard on his upper lip and calmly expressed his opinion: "Before the Battle of Dengzhou was launched at the end of last year, General Zhu Daolin took out hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and well-made new knives and guns to buy food and war horses from various friendly troops, including the Beijing camp and the two major governor's standard battalions. ”

"Still. There are also rumors that this person is high-flying, insatiable, after the end of the battle of Dengzhou, he dared to snatch all the captured Dengzhou sailors more than 100 large and small ships, connected with the state's most powerful mule and horse shop and Jimo century-old family He also dared to rob, not only angered the local heroes in Shandong, but also attracted the Manchu Dynasty civil officials to criticize and write, but so far he has nothing to do. ”

"It can be seen from this. The emperor trusted General Zhu very much. ”

"He invested so much in Phi Dao this time, and it took him so long to prepare for this letter to me. It must have been planned for a long time and has already been prepared. ”

"In my opinion, this time he promised us such a big benefit, and only asked us to send troops to Zhuanghe and Gaizhou to launch a feint, the purpose is very clear, he really wants to lead his troops through the Yalu River. Enter Liaodong to find the Tartars desperately, instead of bluffing, to deal with the court and the emperor! ”

All the generals nodded their heads, completely agreeing with Huang Long's analysis.

Zhu Daolin gave such a big benefit, and only asked Jinzhouwei to send a few thousand brothers to launch a feint. Just achieve the goal of containing the Tartar forces, instead of letting everyone go to the Tartars to fight hard, this kind of good thing is not done by fools.

Huang Long was an upright and fair man, and he hated the Manchu Tartars, and the reason why he never attacked the Manchu Tartars was entirely because he was trapped in the embarrassing situation of lack of food, money, and equipment.

Now that his brothers were willing to cooperate with the actions of the Dongjiang New Army in exchange for benefits, he immediately decided to go to Phi Dao himself to meet Zhu Daolin, who had been famous for a long time.

The five large and small ships waiting in Jinzhou Bay carried more than 10 people, including Huang Long, commander of Jinzhou Wei, and Shang Kexi, a staff general of Guangludao, and immediately set off to return to Phi Dao along the coast overnight.

On the morning of the next day, when the fleet passed through the Gushan camp where the Manchu Tatar Azig was stationed, two 500-ton warships unexpectedly sailed to the deep waters of the estuary amid the roars of thousands of Tatar troops and the dense rain of arrows, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment of the large camp on the shore at a distance of more than 500 meters for more than 20 minutes.

At this time, the large camp on the shore had already been billowing with smoke and dust, and it was a mess, hundreds of frightened horses were on a rampage, the wails shook the sky, and the dead horses and more than 100 corpses were clearly visible, and the eyes of Huang Long, Shang Kexi and others on the other boat were straight.

When Huang Long and his entourage were still amazed on the way, Zhu Daolin on Phi Island ushered in a panicked Korean envoy.

More than 20 civil and military officials, including Yin Shen Jingzhen, Anzhou Defense Envoy Li Kan, Tiantai County Commander Cui Minghe, and Wu Yuantai, Marquis of the Navy Army, just boarded the North Wharf and were warmly received by Wu Jicheng, the chief general of the Dongjiang New Army, and other generals.

Zhu Daolin, who had changed into a second-grade official uniform, stood solemnly in front of the gate of the general's mansion and waited with a smile, and Shen Jingzhen, Li Kan and others hurriedly dismounted at the gate of the compound, and respectfully entered the house to salute after a little tidying up.

Zhu Daolin, who is a famous general in the country, did not have the slightest arrogance, politely finished the salute with Shen Jingzhen and Li Kan, and especially asked who was the sailor Yuhou Wu Yuantai, and then took two steps forward kindly, and helped Wu Yuantai, who was nervous and kneeling to salute, and praised a few words, and then invited Shen Jingzhen and Li Kan to enter the main hall together.

The guests and hosts sat down separately, the fragrant tea was served, and Zhu Daolin said politely: "Since our army has been stationed on Phi Island, we have received the warm care and full support of Lord Yin, the defense envoy and all of you, please allow me to express my gratitude to you on behalf of the Ming court and the emperor!" ”

"The general is serious! As a subject country of the Ming Dynasty, it is our duty to support the generals of the kingdom, if there is something missing, please also ask the general to have a lot of Haihan! ”

Yin Shen Jingzhen, the capital of Anzhou, hurriedly expressed his position.

As an important minister of the Li Dynasty and a representative of the Shen family of North Korea, Shen Jingzhen, who has been in the officialdom for decades, was not only not confused by Zhu Daolin's friendliness and politeness, but had a trembling feeling, deeply afraid of offending this young but decisive famous general.
