Section VII

"Mao Junmen awarded me the Dongjiang guerrilla, the leader of the Changsheng Governor, returned to the old department and received a thousand strong men. Huang Shi triumphantly briefed his subordinates.

Originally, according to the order of Wang Zaijin, the governor of Liaodong, Huangshi had to go to Shanhaiguan immediately, which made him spend a sleepless night last night. This morning, Mao Wenlong showed Huang Shi a letter: "This is a letter I wrote to Liaodong Jingluo, and I was going to ask him for you. ”

The letter first claimed that the battle situation in Liaodong was very tense, and Mao Wenlong vomited a bunch of bitter water, and then declared that he would immediately counterattack, so a fierce general like Huangshi was needed.

Then there was the complaint, Mao Wenlong pointed out that since the first year of the Apocalypse, except for the 50,000 domestic coins given by the Son of Heaven, not a single grain of rice, a bean, or a penny of silver has been received from Dongjiang. He pointed out very euphemistically that since Liaodong Jingluo had the tone of Shangfeng, he should do his best to pay the arrears.

Mao Wenlong also offered a price: 150,000 taels of silver and 120,000 stone rice, which was a year's salary and rations for 10,000 soldiers, in addition to weapons and cloth.

"If Liaodong Jingluo really gives ......," Mao Wenlong said with a smile: "Then the general will have to sell Huang Guji." ”

Huang Shifeng returned the letter, barely holding back the gratitude in his heart: "Your lord's love will be difficult to repay in the end." ”

"Okay, this general will officially appoint Huang Guerrilla as Dongjiang Guerrilla, and he will report to the Military Department on the same day. Mao Wenlong was very generous and did not lower the grade, which surprised Huang Shi a little, but he immediately got the answer.

Mao Wenlong knocked on Wang Zaijin's letter: "Huang Guerrilla is already the commander of the capital, look at Wang Jingluo's meaning, how can you get a general when you go to Liaozhen, but this general can only give you a guerrilla, General Huang should not be too little." ”

"When the last general first arrived in Dongjiang, he didn't make an inch, and he didn't dare to ask too much. ”

If Huang Shi was awarded the general at once, Mao Wenlong was also afraid that his subordinates would complain, and now seeing Huang Shi on the road like this, he was also very satisfied: "It's good that General Huang can understand my difficulties, and now I will explain General Huang's work." ”

Mao Wenlong meant that Huangshi would remain in the Chinese army on Phi Island and be used as the headquarters of the Dongjiang River. Although it was close to Mao Wenlong's headquarters, the materials and soldiers were more secure, but Huangshi hesitated again and again, and still proposed to send it out.

"Changsheng Island?" Several thousand presidents had never heard of this place name, and asked in unison, "Where is it?"

"Northwest of Lushun, a very big island, needless to say, our big Changsheng Island, even the small Changsheng Island is bigger than this Dongjiang River. Huang Shi casually introduced the situation, and asked Zhang Zaidi to spread out the map and point to a location in the inner bend of the Bohai Sea, just a little south of Fuzhou and not far from Jinzhou.

"That's good. Jin Qiude was overjoyed at first, but immediately became suspicious: "Then why is it our turn?"

"A desert island, uninhabited, and besides, here are the mouths of the north and south. Pointing to the islands and the narrow straits of the Great Six Rooms, Huang Shi said: "In winter, it will freeze for more than ten to dozens of days, and the ice will be strong enough for the cavalry to pass through Guò." ”

Huang Shi believes that he is not from Mao Wenlong's lineage, and he may not have much future if he stays in the Dongjiang headquarters, so it is better to go out and run an independent island. However, this dangerous location was chosen by Huangshi himself, and the island was too small to rely on the support of the Dongjiang headquarters, which was not conducive to the expansion of the army.

In the original time and space of Huangshi, Changsheng Island was renamed Changxing Island after the establishment of the Republic, and is the largest island north of the Yangtze River in China, covering an area of more than 300,000 acres. During the Republican period, the island was not known for agriculture, but mainly for aquaculture, tourism and shipbuilding, with many fish farms and natural hot springs as its main economic pillars.

Unfortunately, Huangshi didn't know this, and when he first saw the striking area of this island on the map, he fell in love with it, and immediately asked Mao Wenlong to be stationed here.

This choice also surprised Mao Wenlong, at this time, the island is still a sparsely populated island, and since the rise of the Later Jin, Fuzhou and Jinzhou have fallen, the island is too close to the big 6, and the people have already moved to the mainland according to the sea ban, and it is even more dangerous during the annual freeze.

"A gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall," Mao Wenlong also tried to persuade Huangshi, pointing out that Ocean Island, Changshan Island, and Guanglu Island are all good places to stay.

"The last general wants to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, if he stays away from the enemy's territory, he will have the wish of the last general. "Huangshi is bent on finding a big island so that he can expand his army and train his troops. Mao Wenlong saw that he was determined to be ambitious, so he didn't say much, but just told him to deal with it carefully, not to be too stubborn, if it is not easy to defend in winter, he can take the whole island of soldiers and civilians to sea.

Huangshi is full of heart to take deep roots and establish a solid foundation, and Mao Wenlong's advice has naturally become the wind in his ears.

The two of them also discussed strategic planning by the way, which was also supposed to be, Mao Wenlong naturally hoped that Huangshi could succeed, once Changsheng Island became a fortress, then not only Lushun would have reliable flank support, but Jinzhou would also be under the noses of the Ming army, and they could peep into Fuzhou, and even go straight to Niangniang Palace, approaching Haizhou.

However, hope is hope, and the reality still has to be faced, since the success rate of this military adventure is extremely low, Mao Wenlong does not want to invest too much in it. In the end, Huangshi got his wish and got the Changsheng Governor, as well as a thousand strong men and a small number of fishing boats, in addition to Mao Wenlong, he also allocated some grain seeds and knife and axe tools, and more Mao said that there was no more for the time being.

On April 16 of the second year of the Apocalypse, Du commanded Huang Shi, the Dongjiang guerrilla, and the Changsheng Governor to return to Zhang Pan, took away his descendants, and then left Changsheng Island.

The small fleet sailed on the waves, like a black ant on a smooth mirror, slowly but unswervingly advancing northwest. The sun was pouring down, the sea breeze was blowing, and Yellowstone stood at the bow of the ship, the red tassels on his helmet burning like a blazing flame, dancing happily with the fiery red flag. Yang Zhiyuan, Zhao Slowxiong, Jin Qiude, and He Baodao stood closely behind him, and the endless blue pond made everyone's hearts surge, and their souls and spirits were also integrated into this magnificent scene.

The ship sailed through the vast sea, like a goshawk skimming the sky. The plump black earth hides behind the sea, silently watching the flock of joyful young eagles. Just like witnessing the eagle spreading its wings and soaring for the first time, the earth will always watch them like this, recording the footprints of the warriors in Liaodong, as well as every step they took to create hegemony.

On April 20, the Yellowstone Division arrived at Changsheng Island.

"What a desert island. Yang Zhiyuan couldn't help but sigh, and all the officers also had a worried expression.

The whole island is covered in dense forests, and there are a few open spaces along the coast, and some houses abandoned by fishermen, but all of them are dilapidated. Huangshi patrolled along the island, but the situation was worse than expected, the entire island had not yet been cultivated, and the east coast of the island was only three or four hundred meters away from the Nanxinkou of the big six.

"Fortunately, Houjin imposed a ban on the sea, which made the south and north uninhabited. Otherwise, there are big 6 fishermen haunted, and we are not safe even in summer. After Huang Shi finished sighing, he immediately clapped his hands and mobilized the attraction of the officers: "This is our territory, gentlemen, let's talk about ideas." ”
