Chapter 313: General Liaodong

Although Liu Xingzuo changed his name back to Han, his smooth head affected his image a little, but Chen Cao observed carefully for a while, and after cutting off the braids, there were also thin hairs on his head that were slowly growing.

Liu Xingzuo was a little embarrassed by Chen Cao, and a middle-aged man touched his head with a red face: "The last general's hair grows quickly, and it can grow slowly in three months at most." ”

"Thank you for your hard work..."

Chen Caoliang came up with a sentence for a long time, it has been eight years since he last saw Liu Xingzuo: "Your wife and children have been beheaded by Jiannu, but you can rest assured, there are many women from the Wa Kingdom in the Songjiang Domain, all of them are virtuous and virtuous, and this king will order someone to arrange it later, and assign one to you immediately." ”

As soon as Liu Xingzuo's intention to return to Ming came out anyway, he was already mentally prepared for the destruction of his family, and he learned the consequences of his family when he was in Qingpu, and now Chen Cao comforted him again, and also made the decision to find him a wife, and suddenly felt relieved: "The last will be the great favor of the prince, and I will never dare to forget." ”

"You are still the general of my Ming Dynasty, but the Northern Dynasty doesn't want you anymore, you can only be the general of my Songjiang Domain," Chen Cao said and handed over the letter of farewell and seal to Liu Xingzuo: "From now on, you are the general of Liaodong, and you are the general of Liaodong." ”

Liu Xingzuo knelt down and bowed: "The last general Xie Wang Ye was promoted." ”

Chen Cao stretched out his hand and lifted Liu Xingzuo hard, this action comforted Liu Xingzuo's heart, and he couldn't imagine that Chen Cao was so approachable.

"General Liu, you just arrived in my Songjiang, but you don't know the rules of my Songjiang army, two years ago, I have ordered the abolition of the bow ceremony, that is, in the future, kneeling on one knee has also become a big gift, so don't kneel at every turn;

Why, I'm used to it on Jiannu's side, and these knees can't be stiffened anymore? ”

Liu Xingzuo laughed: "The prince is funny..."

After a gag, Chen Cao called Huang Chunyao, and then began to talk seriously with Liu Xingzuo: "How is the situation on the North Korean side?" ”

Liu Xingzuo followed Mang Gurtai and his party to conquer North Korea for the second time, and defeated Seoul in only one battle, and captured the Korean prince in Busan, forcing the Korean king Li Liang to surrender: "Amin was stationed in Seoul, and after forming the Korean Eight Banners, he led the army back to Shengjing, the Korean land was barren and could not afford to support the Eight Banners army, Jiannu crossed the Yalu River to return to the division after robbing the strength of the strong labor, and brought the Korean prince to Shengjing as a proton by the way;

After Jiannu's second expedition to Korea, North Korea felt that it could no longer be blessed by our Ming Dynasty and had already surrendered to Jiannu. ”

Liu Xingzuo's statement is basically consistent with the news reported by the Jinyi Wei secret agent in North Korea, so that Chen Cao can also logically turn Korea into a real domain of the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"Although the land of North Korea is barren, there is not much in the ground..."

This kind of news must have been known only to Chen Cao, who was a later generation, that the economic source of North Korea's closed economy depended entirely on various minerals produced in the country, among which coal was the most prosperous.

Liu Xingzuo seemed to know some of Chen Cao's intentions, so he continued: "The main force of Jiannu was all stationed in Guangning before the last general left, and Laochao Shengjing was much more empty on the contrary, and the so-called 'Longxing' place where Jiannu relied on Xu Tu was also a pitiful garrison. ”

Chen Cao's eyes lit up, and then asked: "The city wall of Shenyang is tall and strong, and it cannot be attacked unless there are more than 30,000 people, but Hetuara heard that it is a town fort reconstruction, and the city wall is not high, are you familiar with the road?" ”

Liu Xingzuo nodded: "Every year when Jiannu worships his ancestors, he will go to Hetuala, and the last general will follow him several times. ”

Chen Cao nodded thoughtfully, looked at Huang Chunyao, and then said: "Now that you are the general of Liaodong, I have decided to mobilize a division of soldiers and horses for you to land in Liaodong by sea and attack Hetuala." ”

Liu Xingzuo was overjoyed, because he killed his wife, children and mother anyway, he was already dead, and he couldn't imagine that he was rescued to Songjiang by mistake, and he could command a new army of a division after being reused, and now Daming knows the combat effectiveness of the Songjiang army, so he has a lot more opportunities for revenge.

"The last general Xie Wang Ye was promoted, and he will definitely live up to the prince's trust and capture Hetuala."

"Your task is not heavy," Chen Cao looked at Liu Xingzuo with a puzzled expression: "After you led the troops to capture Hetuala, you also learned from Jiannu and took away all the young and strong men and women, and by the way, there was an important task." ”

Liu Xingzuo clenched his fists: "Please ask the prince to command." ”

Chen Cao smiled evilly: "Dig up the so-called imperial tomb of Jiannu..."

Liu Xingzuo: "......"

......

Zhang Yingwu was able to become the commander of the new 52nd Division, and many red-eyed people said that he had taken away his sister's nepotism, but he didn't think so, thinking that when Zhang Wenda was reincarnated, he had a drink with Chen Cao on a Mid-Autumn Festival night, and he also lamented that Chen Cao had married early.

Clear-eyed people know that Zhang Wenda wants to match his daughter to Chen Cao, but it's a pity that the relationship between Li Maohui and Zhang Wenda at that time was not ordinary, and it was not good to rob someone's son-in-law.

When the Zhang family was down, Zhang Yingnan was used as a scapegoat to remove the official and cut his nationality, and the Zhang family had no hope of returning to the officialdom at all.

The Zhang family, who had settled down, had good luck one after another, first with his brother Zhang Yingnan as the magistrate of Qingpu, and then by Chen Cao to be transferred to the governor of Yamen, and finally under Xia Yunyi, he worked together for the logistics of the Songjiang Army.

Zhang Wenda's baby daughter Zhang Yingying and her sister-in-law went to Chen Cao's house to visit Li Xiang, and Li Xiang favored them, and the two families often moved around, and even someone in the house proposed that Zhang Yingying be Li Xiang's sister, but because of Su Manwen's criminal record, Li Xiang was afraid that this sister would become his husband's concubine in the future, so he smiled and did not answer.

It is precisely because of this that after Zhang Yingwu arrived in Songjiang from Nanjing, he served as a squad leader in Zhang Fengnian's family team, and I don't know why, after the formation of the 52nd Division, this squad leader-level soldier actually became the commander of the first division.

The recruits were naturally convinced, but the middle and lower-ranking officers of the 52nd Division all had opinions, and if it weren't for the fact that the military law was different from the past, it would be impossible to say that this rumor had spread all over the world.

"I heard that the second uncle is going to be sent to Liaodong?"

The eldest sister-in-law walked into the middle hall and put a cup of tea in front of Zhang Yingwu.

Zhang Yingwu thanked his eldest sister-in-law, then looked at the eldest brother sitting on the throne and said: "I received an official letter from the governor's yamen early in the morning, and then it was the military order of the prince, asking me to follow General Liu to Liaodong two days later. ”

Zhang Yingnan said earnestly: "The rumors in the market are not small now, second brother, for the sake of our Zhang family, you have to fight for it." ”

Zhang Yingwu naturally knew what the eldest brother meant, although he was only in his twenties, his mind was already the idea of a forty-year-old adult: "I know, I will definitely not let my eldest brother down, and I will not let our Zhang family lose in my hands." ”

"Second brother is going to war?"

The location of the middle hall is not ordinary, and unmarried boudoir women must not appear here, but the Zhang family has experienced all the changes since Zhang Wenda's death, and many rules have changed.

Zhang Yingwu laughed: "Little sister, the second brother is going to fight for the fame of our Zhang family, and when the second brother is named a marquis in the future, he will definitely give you a good family." ”

Zhang Yingying's face flushed, and then she ran out, Zhang Yingnan smiled, and then she was right: "The second brother in the family doesn't have to worry about it, when you come back, I will find a family business for you for my brother." ”

.

The 18,000-strong troops boarded the ships from the military port in Puxi in turn, and their destination was Phi Dao, which was abandoned by the Northern Dynasties, and used Phi Dao as a transit base, landed in Liaodong, and went straight to Hetuala, the old nest of Jiannu.

Liu Xingzuo was still quite excited about becoming the leader of the grave-digging unit, after all, Chen Cao personally came to the military port to see off the 52nd Division.

"The last general will definitely live up to the trust of the prince."

Chen Cao drank a glass of wine with a group of officers: "The flag is victorious." ”

"Daming Wansheng..."

"Salute..."

Liu Xingzuo made up for the military salute for two days, and after all, his actions were still not as good as Zhang Yingwu, who had studied in the military academy, Chen Cao also raised his hand to return the salute, and then watched them board the ship and leave.

After Chen Cao saw him off, he went to the factory again, and when he arrived at the governor's yamen, he heard a lot of rumors from Zhao Xin.

"Murder and heart..."

The provinces in Songjiang Mansion and the surrounding provinces don't know when it was rumored that Chen Cao, the king of Songjiang County, was going to establish himself as the Emperor of Dayue, and even the country name helped Chen Cao think about it.

Of course, Chen Cao absolutely scoffed, how can a small country like 'Yue' become a 'China' country name?

The second is the rumor that Zhang Yingwu relied on his little sister to become the commander of the 52nd Division, not to mention, Zhang Yingying and Chen Cao have really seen it, and he looks really unusual, and a 'righteous gentleman' like him must like it.

Sitting at the round table, Chen Cao threw the official document on the table, and then said: "Needless to say, this must be a bad idea that those people in the north think of that can't be put on the table, and the main role is to drive a wedge between me and Nanjing." ”

Huang Chunyao answered: "That's right, but we already belong to listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, not to mention that the northern court doesn't even recognize Nanjing, how can it recognize our Songjiang Domain?" The students thought that it was someone with ulterior motives who deliberately tempted it. ”

Chen Cao's eyes lit up: "You reminded me, but the pressure on the Nanjing Imperial Court is also very great at the moment, and he dares to do this kind of thing?" ”

"The prince is the first person in the dynasty to be crowned king alive."

"What if you rebel?"

Chen Cao's inner machismo came out at once, and he was suddenly unhappy: "A group of his hair, he does things clearly." ”

After venting and scolding, Chen Cao calmed down: "How is the military situation in Jiangxi, Huguang and other places?" ”

"There is an interesting story, Zhu Yujian, the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, gathered a lot of soldiers and horses in the fiefdom of Nanyang, and came north under the banner of King Qin's salvation, and it is reported that the soldiers and horses have arrived in the territory of Luyang Pass, the capital of Ruzhou."

"Zhu Yujian..."Chen Cao thought for a moment: "I have some impressions..."
