Phi Island.

On the high platform, Mao Wenlong glanced back and forth with a cold face. Thousands of soldiers shouted for training, and no one dared to be lazy under the nose of the general.

Armor, armaments, and grain and grass were delivered in abundance. Mao Wenlong is in a hurry to train his soldiers well now and obtain combat merits as soon as possible.

With the imperial court sending officials to Korea, Phi Island, Minmi Island, and Cheolsan Uiju were officially lent to Donggang Town. North Korea also sent Liao people who had fled into the country, causing the population of Dongjiang Town to increase suddenly.

Although the large number of people made the expansion of the army smooth, it also meant a significant increase in the consumption of grain and grass.

Obviously, the imperial court and Dengzhen are also trying their best to support it, and it is not easy. Therefore, civil officials and agricultural experts were sent to help Dongjiang Town.

Wang Yining, the general judge of Yuan Keli's shogunate, and several old farmers sent by Tianjin, are now touring the islands, directing the Liao people on the islands to cultivate and fish.

Although the Dongjiang Army was stepping up its training, the Dengzhen Navy Division was not idle and was patrolling along the coast of eastern Liaodong. According to Yuan Keli's arrangement, "make sure that the Dongyu piece board is not allowed to go to the sea".

Jiannu did not have a sailor, but there were still some small boat sampans.

The Ming army wanted to completely eliminate any way to go to the sea in the east, and secondly, it was to show off its military power and show off its might, and it could play a role in containing and harassing them; The last point is to be able to rescue the Liao people who fled to the sea.

Shen Yourong was transferred out and took away some of the ships and soldiers, which weakened Dengzhen's strength and was replenishing training. Although Yuan Keli has a strategy, he is also exploring and trying to implement it.

Therefore, after the Battle of Guangning, Ming Guo and Houjin did not make any big moves, and they were holding back their energy, preparing for the next round of the competition.

Mao Wenlong, on the other hand, is stepping up the expansion and training of the army, striving to fight the first battle after the opening of the Dongjiang River, and make a good start.

The imperial court attached so much importance to it that the food and salary were paid in full; Yuan Keli also looked forward to Yin Yin and increased the number of troops on the ship. If the Dongjiang Army wants to continue to maintain this situation, it must prove the value of its existence and prove its combat strength.

"Kill, kill, kill!" Ending with three impassioned shouts, the officers and men disbanded for a short rest.

Feng Datie put the spear in his hand away, and then came to the bucket brought by the auxiliary soldiers, and drank a bowl of warm water, so comfortable that he breathed a sigh of relief.

Stretched out his hand and patted Zhang Xiaoxi, the recruit who handed over the bowl, Feng Datie really liked this young man who could come to trouble.

Finding an open space to sit and lean casually, Feng Datie put his hands on the pillow, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, in the warm sun, he pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a somewhat silly smile.

After the end of the Liaonan raid, the Dongjiang Army had a rare leisure time.

Although this kind of leisure is not light, it is only training, not a battlefield where you can lose your life at any time, and the sad days of being so hungry every day that you want to bite two bites when you see a stone.

The Liao people were constantly sent to various islands and the interior, far away from their hometowns and the war, and started a new life.

My father and my younger brother went to a certain place in Tianjin, and I heard that there was a house and land, and after a year, there should be no problem in life.

The key is his identity, according to the new regulations of the imperial court, he has earned the name of a military family member for his family, and he can reduce or reduce taxes!

After being a soldier for so many years, Feng Datie felt proud for the first time. Perhaps, he didn't quite know what that emotion was called pride.

"Brother Feng." Zhang Xiaoxi came over, with a smile on his face that was a little flattering, but also a little awe, "Shall I rest next to you?" ”

Feng Datie smiled: "Why not, this is the training ground, and it is not my family." ”

After a pause, after Zhang Xiaoxi also lay down comfortably, Feng Datie reminded again: "Don't look like that, the army training is very strict, but no one bullies the recruits." ”

Zhang Xiaoxi laughed twice and said: "My mother said that you must befriend veterans in the barracks, they can not only fight, but also know how to save their lives." Just like Brother Feng, he has the merit of being the first in Jinzhou, which is really powerful. ”

Feng Datie tilted his head and glanced at Zhang Xiaoxi, smiled bitterly, looked at the sky again, and muttered a little cluelessly: "You are also surnamed Zhang?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxi blinked, nodded and responded: "Yes, Brother Feng forgot, my surname is Zhang, my name is Xiaoxi." ”

Feng Datie pursed his lips and didn't say anything.

He remembered Zhang Zhuzi, the comrade-in-arms who had climbed to the top of the city before him and was beaten down in Jinzhou. I heard others say that Zhang Zhuzi didn't die, his leg was broken, and now I don't know where he is?

………………

After the training, Mao Wenlong stepped off the high platform and looked at the groups of soldiers surrounding the buckets, brushing their beards and smiling slightly.

As long as there is enough food and can pay money, even if it is insufficient or in arrears, it will not affect the combat strength of the Dongjiang Army.

Because the composition of the officers and soldiers is different, most of them are Liao people who fled from the country, and they have gone through hardships and hardships to escape from death, so the requirements are naturally not high.

Besides, in Phi Dao, a place where birds don't, there is no place to spend money!

It cannot be said so absolutely, the imperial court sent envoys to sign a treaty with Korea, and direct shipping and trade have been opened, and there will be many merchant ships passing through or docking at Phi Dao.

Perhaps, the Dongjiang Army can also engage in some side business and take advantage of this free ride of opening the sea ban and opening up commerce and trade.

Mao Wenlong pondered as he walked out of the school yard and returned to his camp, but he didn't want to think that there were already people waiting for him.

"Mrs. Shen." Mao Wenlong was slightly surprised, so he smiled and saluted.

Shen Shikui was originally from Liaoyang, and was a merchant in the market in his early years. When the Later Jin invaded Liaodong, he was displaced, and later took refuge in Mao Wenlong, and also made some military achievements.

But this is not the main thing, the main thing is that Shen Shikui has a daughter who is known for being "stunning". was accepted by Mao Wenlong as a concubine and was very favored, so Shen Shikui was also called "Mrs. Shen".

The daughter is good-looking, but Shen Shikui is "hideous", plus he doesn't know how to read, and he is a rude man.

But in front of Mao Wenlong, Shen Shikui still had to restrain a little recklessness, hurriedly returned the salute, and said, "The last general has seen the handsome. ”

"You and I don't have to be polite." Mao Wenlong helped him and stretched out his hand to signal Shen Shikui to sit down, and he also sat down in the chair.

Knowing that Shen Shikui must have something, Mao Wenlong didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "I don't know what happened when Master Shen came here?" ”

Shen Shikui rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "The last general was born in business, and he is not good at the army. Now that the sea is closed and trade with North Korea is being traded, the last general thinks about whether he can take advantage of this east wind to earn more silver for our Dongjiang army. ”

Mao Wenlong's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, and he muttered that he did not answer immediately.

Although it is somewhat similar to his thoughts, the Dongjiang Army is going to fight and engage in business to make money, isn't that criticized?

With this secret system, Mao Wenlong's heart was terrified, and he didn't dare to act indiscriminately.
