Section 34 Scales

It seemed like a very ordinary question, but it was easy to ask the sore spot of the messenger, which made him embarrassed all of a sudden. The reinforcements sent by the Dongjiang Headquarters can be called empty-handed, last year, that is, the fourth year of the Apocalypse, the Korean Dongjiang Army suffered a lot of losses, and the troops and equipment of the Geng Zhongming brothers were all asked by Kong Youde, which is still because Kong Youde and the Geng brothers have had so many years of friendship, otherwise others would not have been able to get this batch of supplements.

After the Geng brothers returned to Dongjiang Island, they trained recruits, and in Mao Wenlong's plan, the recruits of the Geng family did not need to go into battle immediately, so they did not have any equipment, and there were no hundreds of soldiers. After receiving an urgent report from Huangshi in southern Liaoning, Mao Wenlong stuffed all the thousands of strong men who could be drawn out at hand into Geng Zhongming's new barracks, and immediately sent this only battalion that could be mobilized urgently to southern Liaoning.

"The battalion commanded by Mao Youjie is called 'Jiezi Battalion'" After saying this, the Dongjiang envoy's face turned slightly red. This battalion was originally a military flag for training, and the name was all gone, and the title of "Jiezi Battalion" was also thought up by Mao Wenlong in a hurry. Luckily, Yellowstone doesn't seem to understand what this means. When the envoy saw that Huang Shi's face had not changed, his heart was also relieved: "Mao's garrisoned 'Jiezi Battalion' has 1,300 soldiers, and the Dongjiang Water Battalion will do its best to transport them to southern Liaoning, which is probably a matter of a few days." As for their armor...... Things were born too suddenly, and for a while, I'm afraid there will be a lot of vacancies, I hope Lord Huang can provide some. ”

Huang Shi is more concerned not about how much combat strength this battalion has, but about the two Geng brothers. When he heard that there were 1,300 people, he felt uncomfortable for a while, and if he wanted to buy the Geng brothers, he was afraid that he would bleed again. Not to mention that the Shang Kexi next to him hasn't fought yet. Huang Shi pretended to be happy: "I have heard for a long time that Mao Youjie is guarding the daimyo and he is coming to reinforce Liaonan, as for the armor and weapons, the general will naturally prepare." ”

"Then there's Lord Lao Huang. "The Dongjiang envoy is very happy that Huangshi can not complain. He also had another task on this trip, so he couldn't return to Dongjiang immediately, so he hurriedly said to Huang Shi: "Lord Huang, has the news of the victory in Nanguan been reported to the marshal?"

"Of course. "After the victory of Nanguan, Huangshi's recital immediately went to the Dongjiang River, but the two important trophies have not yet been sent away, and the golden helmet and the banner Wu Mu plan to transport them directly to Juehua together, so as not to repeatedly change hands halfway, in case they are lost in the sea, they can't stand it. Huang Shi silently calculated the time in his heart, smiled at the messenger and said, "According to the day, it should have come." The commander's order may be on the way. ”

"That's fine. The Dongjiang envoy sighed, and a fool could see that the situation in southern Liaoning was extremely beneficial to the Ming army, as long as the three banners of Houjin and the Dongjiang army could be annihilated, it would not matter if the Dongjiang army temporarily abandoned Liaodong. This envoy was not a high-ranking officer, so he was very optimistic that Mao Wenlong's next order might be to sort out the entire army of the Dongjiang River, and now that his mission in southern Liaoning had ended, the envoy happily hugged his fist at Huang Shi: "Lord Huang is here, and the task here has been completed." Under the mark, I dare to ask Lord Huang to provide accommodation and a fast boat for the brothers under the mark, and I will go to Shanhaiguan early tomorrow morning. ”

"The marshal wants you to go to Shanhaiguan? are you going to ask for reinforcements?" Huang Shi was taken aback. He always felt that Mao Wenlong would not find himself unhappy, but he didn't expect that this time Mao Wenlong would think of asking Liaoxi for help, it was unbelievable.

This question made the Dongjiang envoy hesitate for a moment, not knowing whether to answer or not. Before coming, Mao Wenlong already had a secret order, if the situation in southern Liaoning is a mess, then don't go to western Liaoning to bring humiliation on yourself. However, if Liaonan has not yet reached the point of no return, such as the Ming army is still holding on to Jinzhou, then Mao Wenlong will send an envoy to Liaoxi to cry. Say anything, ask for some reinforcements to come back. This envoy saw that Jinzhou was still in the hands of the Ming army. met the prerequisites for Mao Wenlong to let him go to Liaoxi. Therefore, he decided to go to western Liaoning, more or less to ask for some supplies and soldiers for the Dongjiang army in southern Liaoning.

The envoy glanced at Huang Shi in front of him again, this Huang general was invincible. The first two times Huangshi went to Phi Island, this envoy had watched from the side of the road, the first time he was just a teenager, and the second time he was just a young soldier who had just joined the army. This time, he saw with his own eyes that Huang Shi turned the tide and turned a serious crisis in southern Liaoning into a strategic situation extremely favorable to the Ming army.

In the mind of this Dongjiang envoy, Huangshi was originally a great hero and object of worship, and besides, Huangshi seemed to remove the title of deputy general, it was also a sure thing, and it was reasonable, this young envoy did not intend to hide from Huangshi: "Lord Huang clearly marked that he was going to Shanhaiguan to ask for a meeting with Liaodong Economic Strategy, and Master Sun Mao Shuai wrote a personal letter to Lord Sun, hoping that Lord Sun could help some firearms and soldiers in southern Liaoning, at least urgently provide some food." The marshal was worried that Lord Huang's military rations would be insufficient. ”

"Let the big marshal worry. Huang Shi sighed, tens of thousands of soldiers eat a lot, fortunately, they are stationed in Jinzhou City, and they don't have to consume dry food. However, if you count the Geng Zhongming brothers, Shang Kexi, and the food reserves of Guanglu Zhang Pan Changsheng Island, who may come at any time, they will really be a little nervous.

The envoy saluted and was about to go out, and before he left, Huang Shi couldn't help but ask, "Will you go to Dengzhou?"

Without hesitation, the messenger replied, "Lord Huang Mingjian, of course we won't go. ”

Huang Shi sighed secretly in his heart again, but said lightly in his mouth: "Okay, you go down and rest." ”

In the past few years, Dongjiang Town, Leiden Town, and Leiden Governor's Yamen have been very unhappy, and Mao Wenlong refused to give credit to the Wenchen Group in Shandong when Zhenjiang was victorious. The victory in Zhenjiang was undoubtedly the first time the Ming army regained lost territory, won the first attack and won the first time to surrender prisoners, so the Wenchen group in Shandong hoped that Mao Wenlong would hand over the credit for the strategy to the governor of Leiden, for example, the Wenchen in Shandong said that the victory in Zhenjiang was the plan of Wang Yining, the general judge of Dengzhou. However, Mao Wenlong insisted that this was the credit of Wang Huazhen, who promoted him, and pointed out in a letter that Wang Yining came after he retreated from Longchuan to North Korea, and this kind of statement made the Shandong Wenchen group very unable to step down.

Two years after the Apocalypse, the already bad relationship between Mao Wenlong and Shandong Wenchen Group became even worse, Mao Wenlong insisted that Shandong had no credit, and Shandong kept saying that Mao Wenlong was greedy for merit. In the end, Mao Wenlong refused to hand over his rank and captives to Shandong for inspection, but sent them directly to Tianjin Wei. In the third year of the Apocalypse, the magistrate of Tianjin Wei repeatedly wrote to the imperial court to ask the imperial court to order Mao Wenlong not to hand over prisoners again. Tianjin Wei's reason was that there were too many prisoners, and they had to eat and send someone to take care of them. It was also necessary to mobilize the village soldiers to escort them -- this also required food, so the cost was too great. And Mao Wenlong insisted on sending prisoners, he said that in this way, Shandong Wenchen could not say that he was greedy for merit, and whether the battle and the level of sacrifice in the Dongjiangtang newspaper were good or not, and the Jinyi Wei interrogated the prisoners in the first trial, so that he could also return Mao Wenlong's innocence.

In this way, Shandong scolded Mao Wenlong continuously, Dongjiang sent prisoners to Tianjin, and Tianjin Wei cried and complained about the budget and land. This farce did not end until Sun Chengzong ordered the Dongjiang class to be transferred to Ningyuan for inspection.

But a new farce has appeared again, and the reason is, of course, that Mao Wenlong is not a good person and is too insincere. To be honest, Huangshi has always cooperated very well to let the Dengzhou grain official escort the silver and grain, and the "drifting" on the way to the escort Huangshi also recognized his head. By the end of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Mao Wenlong had sent two grain officers to Shandong, and the task of the Dongjiang grain officials was to directly get military salaries and grain, and then transport them back to Liaodong by the Dongjiang ship. This kind of behavior is of course very unfair to Shandong Wenchen Group, which has been supporting Dongjiang Town behind its back. It's a bit of "pick up the rice bowl to eat, put down the chopsticks and scold the mother".

The first grain officer sent by Mao Wenlong soon swallowed up the military salary and did not return to the Dongjiang River, the new grain officer sent by Mao Wenlong again was still his fellow villager in Hangzhou, Mao Wenlong thought that the fellow would be more reliable, and he didn't want this person to quickly complete the road of corruption and degeneration as soon as he arrived in Shandong, and the two grain officials embezzled a total of 440,000 taels of silver.

In order to recover the stolen money, Mao Wenlong has given Shandong several sea fishing documents, but all of them have sunk into the sea like stone cattle. Mao Wenlong was angry, so he used his Shang Fang sword to bring the power of the land to fold the matter, and the lawsuit was fought all the way to the emperor. Mao Wenlong, who was enraged, also put the music in the Dongjiang Tang Newspaper. This made most of the Dongjiang officers have a very bad impression of the Shandong Wenchen Group.

In fact, it is not the first time that Huang Shi has seen this Tang newspaper, but this time he has a more intuitive understanding of Mao Wenlong's anger. Mao Wenlong burst into tears in his recital to the apocalypse, and the 440,000 taels of silver included not only military salaries and imperial rewards, but also soldiers' rations and clothes, and many of them were soldiers' rewards. Mao Wenlong begged the emperor to enforce the law impartially and return the food and clothes of these soldiers from Shandong to him. Mao Wenlong also described the scene of the Dongjiang River in the recital, a large number of military households have not yet spent the winter cotton clothes, many soldiers, not to mention armor, not even iron weapons, and two people who embezzled more than 400,000 taels of silver in Dongjiang Town are at large in Shandong......

In Mao Wenlong's letter, he even pointed out the place of residence of the two grain officials in Shandong, and both of them had already bought houses and land in Shandong and became landlords. Mao Wenlong did not ask Tianqi to hold anyone responsible, he only asked the emperor to order the Shandong Wenchen Group to arrest these two people and then hand them over to Dongjiang Town.

However, when Governor Lydon also had Shang Fang's sword to fight this imperial lawsuit, the Shandong Governor Yamen did not even defend whether there was such a thing, they just asked whether the imperial court military generals had the right to catch documents against the local sea, and whether the local civil servants were obliged to carry out the orders of the military generals?

These two questions were asked very forcefully, so although Mao Wenlong cried very emotionally, the Emperor of Heaven and the cabinet still rejected Mao Wenlong's request and asked him to discuss it with the Shandong magistrate himself.

When Huang Shi saw this Tang newspaper, he already knew the end of the story, and Mao Wenlong finally compromised in history, and since then let Dengzhou's grain officials have endured thirty percent of the "drifting" since then, and Dengzhou finally repatriated a person back to the Dongjiang River. That person was Mao Wenlong's fellow countryman, Mao Wenlong knew that he couldn't help himself, so he didn't feel embarrassed, and after he let him spit out his share of the stolen money, he sent it to the Hangzhou magistrate for custody. Later, when Dengzhou increased the share of "drifting" again, Mao Wenlong took out this matter as a cannonball to fight the imperial lawsuit, but later the lawsuit ended with Mao Wenlong's complaint. Wei Zhongxian, who was obviously the beneficiary, used this lawsuit to deal a heavy blow to the Shandong Donglin Party, but the eunuch members who took over only maintained the "drifting" at 30%, and still did not return the money to Dongjiang Town. Huang Shi really wanted to take advantage of this matter, but how to use it hadn't been thought about yet, anyway, in history, Mao Wenlong chose the most stupid path, and he didn't get any benefits, and he offended a group of people.

After the victory in Nanguan, Huangshi felt that his influence on history had been great, and the current butterfly effect was not a problem of small butterflies, and at present, Changsheng Island was as heavy as a dinosaur in the strategic balance of the Ming and Later Jins. Just like before the Battle of Quang Ninh, Huang Shi still coveted the throne of the Great Tomorrow, so he has been secretly thinking about the issue of "raising thieves and respecting themselves" these days.

However, it is one thing to want to "raise a thief with self-respect", and it is another thing to really implement it. One of the key problems is that if the Jin army sneaks under the city of Jinzhou after letting it go, it will be difficult to explain it clearly to the prison army. Secondly, if the Houjin army can't show the ability to defend its baggage, Huangshi may not be able to forcibly suppress the call for battle, after all, his subordinates and allies are staring at those ranks and merits with red eyes.

The last and most important question is that Huang Shi always feels that he must completely beat the enemy into a "pig's head" in order to raise it like a pig, if the strength of Houjin is still very strong, then he will probably not "raise a thief and respect himself", but "raise a tiger for trouble".

The Ming court originally regarded Houjin, a large tribe with a population of 200,000, as a gang of robbers, and Huangshi's subordinates looked down on these bandits after successive victories, but Huangshi definitely did not dare to underestimate his opponent, so he finally decided to give Houjin a handful of blood.

At this time, Huang Shi didn't know that his report paperwork had just arrived at the Dongjiang headquarters, and Mao Wenlong, who had just arrived at the Dongjiang headquarters, trembled and opened the report, but his eyes widened the more he looked at it. Mao Wenlong rubbed his eyes, read the report again, and then rubbed his eyes again to read it for the third time......

"Spread Chen Jisheng quickly!" Mao Wenlong roared, and at the same time quickly turned around and ran to look at the map of Liaodong, and his fingers trembled on the front line of Kuandian and North Korea: "One battalion, two battalions, three battalions...... These can be pulled out immediately. It seems that I am going to conquer southern Liaonan in person. ”
