Lu Xiangsheng asked Mao Chenglu to stand aside, then ignored him and gave orders on his own.

One after another, the ships docked at the pier, and the Praetorian Guards were ordered to take over the dock and control all the ships on the island.

Then, Lu Xiangsheng issued an order, ordering all the officers above the general level on the island to come to the ship to meet him and convey the will of the imperial court.

Mao Chenglu somewhat understood, this is obviously to set up his own rhythm! But now on the ship, there is nothing to be done.

If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten on the ship! Mao Chenglu suddenly had this thought in his heart, and then shook his head, the strength of the army brought by Lu Xiangsheng was too strong, the number of people was more than the entire Dongjiang army, and many ships were even equipped with Hongyi cannons, with the strength of Guangludao, it was impossible to resist at all. If you don't get on the boat, I'm afraid that the end waiting for you will be even more miserable.

Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde both got on the boat, and the officers of Guangludao naturally could not resist the will of the new master Jinglu. Liaodong Jinglu, for ordinary generals, it is a big official in the sky, resist? They didn't even dare to think about it.

Soon, dozens of Hirokashima officers boarded the ship one after another and knelt on the deck.

Finished! Kong Youde closed his eyes, if this new commander gave an order, all the middle and senior officers on the island would fall to the ground, and they would not be able to resist even the slightest.

Mao Chenglu was already trembling with fright, for fear that he and the others would be killed on the boat like this.

Fortunately, Lu Xiangsheng didn't mean that, but ordered someone to read out the holy decree, which was actually the holy decree appointing Lu Xiangsheng as the Liaodong Jinglu.

"You are all Dongjiang generals, in the past few years, under the leadership of the late general soldier Mao Wenlong, you have opened the Dongjiang River, saved the Liao people, and made a lot of achievements in the Ming Dynasty, these courts are in the eyes.

Dongjiang Town is located in the back of the Liaohai Jiannu, the location is extremely important, but in recent years, you have no victory against Jiannu, so that the court has a lot of discussions, saying that Dongjiang Town is empty of money and grain but has no size, and many officials are clamoring for the imperial court to remove Dongjiang Town.

But Your Majesty still trusts you, so he ordered this official to serve as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, responsible for rectifying Dongjiang Town, and taking you to strike at Jiannu from the sea, and then make new contributions! ”

After Lu Xiangsheng said a few words, he announced the allocation of 30,000 stone of grain to Guanglu Island. The army of Guangludao was about 7,000 people, and 30,000 stone of grain was enough for half a year, and the officers immediately cheered.

"The officers above the rank of 1,000 guerrilla commanders stay on the ship, and the commanders can get off the ship and go back. The distribution of money and food will be issued in full accordance with the military register, and each soldier must receive it himself, and no one is allowed to collect it on his behalf. ”

Lu Xiangsheng's words made Mao Chenglu and the others change their faces greatly.

For a long time, it has been very common to eat empty salaries and drink the blood of soldiers, and less than half of the money and food allocated by the imperial court can reach ordinary soldiers, and the rest are embezzled by generals, most of which are used for enjoyment, and a small part is used to support some family soldiers.

Lu Xiangsheng's move is equivalent to cutting off the hands of the generals who are reaching out to the military rations, which is obviously suspicious of them!

But what can they do on a ship?

For the next few days, the generals were placed under house arrest on board. Lu Xiangsheng ordered Zhou Yuji to lead the army to the island, occupied various key positions on the island, and then distributed grain. A large amount of food was distributed, and except for those officers and soldiers, ordinary soldiers received more than twice the amount of their previous money and food, and they all smiled happily.

Then Zhou Yuji took the opportunity to announce the reorganization of the army, divided the army of the whole island into two battalions, and reappointed officers, who were still appointed by the original chief officers. All of a sudden, many people were promoted, and they were smiling happily.

Mao Chenglu and other generals are not there, and their family members are also leaderless, and no one can stop them at all. And the strong force of the Praetorian Guard also made everyone dare not move.

Zhou Yuji even divided these family members again, appointing many people to serve as officers at all levels.

In the past, there was the distribution of food and salary to buy the hearts of the army, and then there was the reorganization into battalions, that is, Mao Chenglu and others returned to the island, and it was basically impossible to control the army.

Three days later, when everything on the island was settled, Lu Xiangsheng got off the ship, and Mao Chenglu and other generals were still under house arrest.

"My lord, the last general will train them well, although these Dongjiang soldiers are weak, they all have a blood feud with Jiannu, and they can be battled if they are trained." Zhou Yujidao.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head: "These soldiers are really too hard, don't rush to train first, let them eat for a period of time and nourish their bodies." Don't be stingy with food, and then order someone to go to the sea to catch some fish. Since they have a deep blood feud with Jiannu, they should make good use of it, and order those committee members to write some stories about Jiannu's brutality, and tell them among these soldiers, and it is best to hold a complaint meeting, so that these Dongjiang soldiers themselves can come to the stage to talk about what happened to their families and accuse Jiannu of cruelty. Seeing that the war with Jiannu is imminent, try to improve the morale of the army as much as possible! ”

"Yes, my lordship, I will command it." Zhou Yuji hurriedly agreed.

"Don't rush yet." Lu Xiangsheng shouted Zhou Yuji, "General Zhou, in this battle, the affairs of southern Liaoning will be handed over to you, in addition to taking the Guanglu soldiers, I will allocate you a battalion of 3,000 Praetorian Guards, and you are responsible for bringing down the entire southern Liaoning to me, and attract the attention of Jiannu as much as possible." If the main force of Jiannu comes to attack, you can defend it, and if you can't defend it, you will retreat to the island. ”

"Yes, sir!" Zhou Yuji said excitedly, this is tantamount to letting him be alone, and he feels excited when he thinks about it.

"By the way, my lord, when will the last general launch an attack on southern Liaoning?" Zhou Yuji asked.

Lu Xiangsheng shook his head slightly: "I'm afraid it won't take a few days, and the specific time will have to wait until the news of Jiannu's troops comes." ”

Only when we get the exact news that Jiannu sent troops to Jibei, can we launch an attack here to attract Jiannu's remaining army, otherwise it will be bad to wake up Jiannu. Therefore, when to send troops, Lu Xiangsheng is not sure.

"You waited for the news of Jiannu's troops in Guanglu Island, and after getting the news, you sent someone to deliver a message to Phi Dao, and then sent troops to attack southern Liaoning." Lu Xiangsheng commanded.

"Are you leaving, sir?" Zhou Yuji hurriedly asked.

Lu Xiangsheng said: "I still have to prepare on the Phi Island, so I will take the main force to Phi Island, and then reorganize the army on Phi Island, and prepare to attack Jiannu." ”

On the same day, Lu Xiangsheng boarded the ship again and led the fleet to continue to Phi Dao, passing through Changshan and other islands, although these islands were garrisoned by the Dongjiang Army, Lu Xiangsheng did not divide his troops to reorganize, but went straight to Phi Dao. Time was of the essence, and he really didn't have time to waste.

When sailing on the sea, Lu Xiangsheng summoned Mao Chenglu and other generals again and told them that the purpose of going there was to solve Liu Xingzuo on Phi Island, and the purpose of keeping them on the ship was to confront Liu Xingzuo.

"What is the real cause of the Phi Dao Rebellion, and whether Liu Xingzuo really rebelled, when everything is known on Phi Dao, you will wait and see." Lu Xiangsheng said soothingly.
