Chapter 098

"Cheng Shuai, you also know that our Dongjiang Army is too poor, and the imperial court has forgotten us, not giving us food and grass, nor giving us equipment."

"We also know that the wooden spear is too bad, not to mention the white-armored soldiers of Jiannu, even if it is a red-armored soldier wearing a layer of iron armor, we will all suffer a big loss!"

"We also know that this equipment is too poor, but the Dongjiang Army is too poor to provide us with better equipment!"

"Cheng Shuai, our Dongjiang Army is really poor, what is the way to be poor?"

"We also want everyone to wear iron armor and hold a lance, but we are poor and have no money!"

"We have nothing but this life."

"Cheng Shuai, don't worry, you hand over the stone castle to our Dongjiang Army, unless Jiannu kills us all, they don't want to go over!"

Cheng Shuai...... We don't want to make do with it, it's nice to have a wooden gun, at least not with bare hands......"

"Cheng Shuai, even if we don't have good weapons, we Dongjiang Army heroes will not be cowardly, even if we bite with our teeth and smash with our fists, we will do everything we can to kill Jiannu!"

"Cheng Shuai ......"

As Cheng Shijie said that the equipment of the Dongjiang Army was not good, the soldiers and generals of the Dongjiang Army began to vomit badly, although Cheng Shijie controlled the Dongjiang Army, but he could not treat the Dongjiang Army as the Ning Navy.

This is also human nature, even if it is his own child, he still hopes that the big one will let the old and the young, and it is actually unfair to the boss to do so.

Of course, there is no real fairness in the world.

Cheng Shijie said: "The quality of weapons is related to the victory or defeat of the war, how can it be improvised!" ”

In fact, Cheng Shijie originally wanted to give the weapons captured on the battlefield to the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army after repair, but now Cheng Shijie has also changed his mind.

The Dongjiang Army is now poor, and it can be said that because of poverty, it is easier for them to buy some.

"Zhou Yandong!"

"In!"

"Pull in the new equipment produced by the Ordnance Bureau!"

Unlike other generals who want to buy equipment, most of Cheng Shijie's equipment is produced by himself, especially the improved animal power machinery and equipment, which makes the production of weapons more efficient, better quality, and the key is lower cost. When quelling Kong Youde's rebellion, Cheng Shijie not only got the money seized by Kong Youde, but also got a lot of equipment.

At that time, these equipment were repaired or reprocessed in the Ordnance Bureau of the Ning Navy, especially when the iron mines and factories in Ninghai Prefecture were sold, Cheng Shijie naturally could not leave the precious steel to Gu Shizhang.

It didn't take long for Zhou Yandong to transport the spears machined by the Ordnance Bureau with animal power, and the barrels of these spears were all made of fine Tuomu, which is commonly known as the ash rod, and was processed with a planer.

When Ninghaijun moved, not only Ninghaizhou's family was taken away, but also a large amount of wood, including this kind of topwood tree used to make gun barrels was cut down, cut off branches and leaves, and also transported by boat, just put in Jinzhouwei's gun barrel raw materials, as many as more than 600,000 roots, enough for Cheng Shijie to arm three or four hundred thousand pikemen.

At this time, the spears placed on the cart were wrapped in black arrowroot cloth strips, like a large bundle of sugar cane, and they were all extra-long spears, with a length of more than four meters, three meters longer than the wooden spears in the hands of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, nearly half longer. In particular, the blade of the spear was actually one foot eight inches long.

The biggest difference between a spear and a spear is that the spearhead or spear head is generally a triangular pyramid or quadrangular pyramid, and the image of a multi-prismatic pyramid is even close to a cone. The spear head is longer, flatter, and has blades on both sides, which can be stabbed, swept or chopped.

On the battlefield, a spear is naturally more powerful than a spear, but the problem is that the cost of making the same spear is almost twice as high, and two pikemen can easily deal with a spearman. So in terms of cost performance, a spear has an advantage over a spear.

Therefore, the spear, like the horse lance, was slowly eliminated because of the high cost. The dynasties that were able to equip a large number of horses and spears in all dynasties, except for the Han and Tang dynasties, were relatively weak.

Looking at the spear on the cart, Mao Chenglu's eyes straightened: "This is not a spear, this is a horse lance!" ”

"Horse lance fart!"

Cheng Shijie smiled disapprerovingly: "How expensive is the horse lance, this is a spear!" ”

Cheng Shijie took out Tang Zhidao, waved it lightly, and a bundle of spears dispersed in response, he put the knife into the sheath, picked up a spear, and handed it to Mao Chenglu: "General Mao, try the power of this spear!" ”

Mao Chenglu stretched out his hand to take the spear and felt that the weight of the spear was quite heavy. In particular, the blade part of the spear is not the usual triangular style, but a narrow and long sword shape, and there is also a deep blood groove, and the blade glows with a cold cold light.

Mao Chenglu said: "Good gun!" ”

Ancient cold weapons, in fact, generally not heavy, the ancient spear generally does not exceed ten catties, the Tang Dynasty martial arts examination immediately spear weight is eight catties (the gun is one zhang eight feet long, the diameter is one inch and five minutes, the weight is eight catties), the Ming Dynasty general spear (also one zhang eight feet long) the full weight is only three catties, the gun head does not exceed one or two weights, the reason for the light gun head is very simple, even if the gun head is only the size of the nail head, the chest piercing is enough to kill the aortic blood vessels on the heart.

But the problem is that the weight of this spear is definitely more than ten catties, at least about twelve catties, this is mainly for different strategic purposes, the pikemen of the Ning Navy are not in battle to fight, what they need is to block the impact of the cavalry.

When fighting, put the tail of the spear directly on the ground, aim the blade of the spear at the direction of Jiannu's cavalry charge, grasp it steadily, and wait for Jiannu to rush over. As for marching in full gear, Ning Haijun's spears were transported on a baggage cart in the marching state, and he only carried a two-and-a-half-pound crossbow machine and a dog-legged knife weighing four catties and six taels.

Mao Chenglu grabbed the spear, and as soon as his wrist shook, a spear flower suddenly appeared, and he shouted loudly and stabbed the bolted horse pillar.

"Flutter ......"

With a muffled sound, the thick bolt of the bowl was pierced by a shot, and the blade of the spear was stuck in the bolt.

Mao Chenglu looked at a Dongjiang Army soldier holding a shield and said, "Yulang, bring the shield!" ”

The Dongjiang soldier named Yulang stood a heavy shield up to 1.4 meters high on the ground, and then supported the shield with a wooden stick.

Mao Chenglu shot again, and with one shot, this heavy shield wrapped in iron sheets, and the shield that even a crossbow machine could not shoot through, was pierced by a single shot, and the tip of the spear penetrated nearly half a foot from the inside.

"Good gun, really good gun!"

Mao Chenglu put away the spear, a little fond of it, he looked at Cheng Shijie and said: "Cheng Shuai, this gun is good, very good, Mao likes it very much, it's just ...... How much is a stroke? It's too expensive for us to afford! ”

"Buy, who do you look down on?"

Cheng Shijie waved his hand: "Ben Shuai promised you Huang Shuai, as long as you come, Ben Shuai is responsible for changing your clothes, these equipment don't need money, take it all!" ”

The Dongjiang soldiers present were in a daze at first, and then rushed to the dozen or so carts with a roar, and began to shoot these spears madly, and the Dongjiang soldiers were also poor, and the broken wooden sticks in their hands were still reluctant to throw them away.

After getting the spear, many Dongjiang soldiers affectionately stroked the spear, as if holding a superb beauty, with eager and dangerous eyes.

Soon, more than 3,000 spears were looted.

A soldier of the Dongjiang Army held a spear and danced impatiently, and suddenly, a hay jumped out of the soldier's clothes, and Cheng Shijie's eyes fell on the hay, as if he understood something.

Cheng Shijie walked towards a Dongjiang Army soldier, this Dongjiang Army soldier's clothes were bulging, and it looked like they were very thick, but the problem was that as soon as he reached out and touched, Cheng Shijie felt that the clothes on the Dongjiang Army soldier were stuffed with hay.

This kind of yellow hay has slender blades, and he can't tell any grass, but it is certain that this kind of thing is not very effective in keeping out the cold, especially the cold hands of this Dongjiang Army soldier.

Cheng Shijie walked to another soldier and reached out to touch it, and the same was true.

Cheng Shijie looked at Mao Chenglu, Mao Chenglu at this time was like a primary school student, when he was in physical education class, due to excessive force, his pants broke open, and he knew what Cheng Shijie found, so he looked a little embarrassed.

"Cheng Shuai, the Dongjiang Army is poor......"

Speaking of which, this big and three thick man has a little red in his eyes.

"Don't say it, don't say it, Ben Shuai!"

Cheng Shijie said to more than 3,000 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army: "Brothers! ”

As Cheng Shijie spoke, the scene immediately quieted down, these Dongjiang Army soldiers knew very well that they had a well-made spear in their hands, which meant that in the future, on the battlefield, when they were desperate with Jiannu, they would have a little more calculation, such a sharp and strong spear, when they encountered Jiannu's white-armored soldiers, they would not be helpless and had no power to fight back.

"Meet the big handsome!"

Cheng Shijie looked at the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army and said: "This marshal is ordered by the saint to control the Dongjiang army, and the opportunity of the temporary formation, the marshal has the right to act cheaply, can you know, what is moderation?" ”

"I want to listen to the commander!"

"Now your Dongjiang Army, like the Ning Navy, is also my Cheng Shijie's soldiers, since it is my Cheng Shijie's soldiers, the court doesn't care about your supplies, nor your food and clothing, this commander will take care of it!"

These Dongjiang soldiers clenched the spears in their hands, and their eyes were a little dazed.

They had been disappointed in the court too many times, and they had become numb. The favor and loyalty to the imperial court have also become little left with the suppression again and again and the deception again and again.

"Zhou Yandong!"

"The last general!"

"Pull over the cotton clothes that our Ning Navy has stored in Jinzhou and distribute them to the brothers of the Dongjiang Army!"

"Dashuai, we don't have many cotton clothes in stock, but it's ......"

Zhou Yandong was about to tell Cheng Shijie that although there were cotton clothes and military uniforms, the problem was that this was to prepare for the future expansion of the army, and the Ning Navy had just completed the change of outfits from more than 4,800 people, and the Ning Navy Dengzhou changed immediately, and then, Cheng Shijie reorganized the Dengzhou Army and Naval Division, as well as the cavalry rebels under Kong Youde's command, which caused great pressure on the logistics of the Ning Navy.

Now Cheng Shijie is actually generously inviting people to buy people's hearts, but the problem is that Ning Haijun's family background is not thick, and Zhou Yandong just wanted to open his mouth to explain.

Cheng Shijie rudely interrupted Zhou Yandong's words: "There is nothing to do, carry out the order!" ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Yandong already clearly knew the military discipline of the Ning Navy, and he must act to obey the command, and Cheng Shijie's orders are above all else.

Zhou Yandong turned around and met Song Xiance, he hurriedly said: "Master Song, you should persuade the marshal!" ”

"Persuade? Why persuade? ”

Song Xiance looked at the Dongjiang Army soldiers in front of him and said, "Look at these soldiers, how about it?" ”

"Although I have lost a little weight, I have to admit that these are good soldiers, with strong wills and sharp eyes, and they are all elites for the rest of their lives!"

Zhou Yandong seemed to understand.

"What kind of life do our Ning Navy officers and soldiers live, don't talk about big fish and meat every day, at least they can eat and drink enough, just this treatment, in the Central Plains, the average small and medium-sized landlord has no chance to eat so well!"

Song Xiance continued: "As the so-called thrift is easy to get, it is too difficult to go from luxury to thrift, the marshal gives these Dongjiang Army soldiers good food, good clothing, and the best weapons, can they still return to the Dongjia Army to live a hard life in the future?" ”

"This ......"

Zhou Yandong suddenly brightened: "In the future, these 3,000 soldiers and horses can only be surnamed Cheng!" ”

"Yes, you can see it, why don't you do it?"

Zhou Yandong hurriedly went to carry out the order happily, the cotton clothes of the Ning Navy officers were heavier than the cotton clothes of later generations, weighing ten catties and eight taels, which were divided into three pieces, the cotton pants weighed about two and a half catties, the cotton jacket weighed about three and a half catties, and the coat weighed about four and a half catties. This is only the weight of cotton, not including the weight of the fabric for sewing cotton clothes, if you count the weight of the fabric, the total weight of the three-piece cotton clothes is twelve catties.

Just these three kinds of cotton clothes, even in the environment of minus twenty or thirty degrees, will not get frostbitten, but the problem is that cotton in the Ming Dynasty was much more expensive than in later generations. Due to the lack of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the cotton yield in this era was barely more than 100 catties per mu, and one acre of cotton could not even produce ten sets of cotton clothes.

When Zhou Yandong transported the cotton clothes to the school field, these soldiers immediately cheered. As the cotton clothes began to be distributed one by one, the 3,000 Dongjiang soldiers at this time, like the Ning Navy soldiers, wore black cotton jackets, black cotton pants, black cotton coats, and black cotton kudzu shoes on their feet.

Holding a spear in his hand, he was almost exactly the same as Ning Haijun, of course, due to the poor military discipline of the Dongjiang Army, everything was sent to the army, and the whole scene was chaotic.

As the cotton clothes were divided, these Dongjiang soldiers couldn't wait to put them on, and then more than a dozen carts pushed over, and each Dongjiang Army soldier was distributed a dog-leg knife, which was the standard configuration of Ning Navy soldiers, and each Ning Navy soldier, no matter what kind of soldier, had a dog-leg knife in his hand.

Seeing the arrival of the dog-legged knife, these soldiers of the Dongjiang Army howled and rushed up, and pounced on the convoy transporting the dog-legged knife with the momentum of a hungry tiger, grabbing it. There are more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages, and there are 3,000 dog-legged knives on them, which is said to be enough, but looking at their ruthlessness, it is even more ruthless than African refugees grabbing food!

The driver who was driving the car flashed five hundred meters away at the first time, and the slower ones were flattened.

Mao Chenglu is no longer embarrassed now, he just said a little self-deprecatingly: "These rabbit cubs, how do you usually teach them?" It is as fast as the wind, its speed as a forest, immobile as a mountain, and aggression like fire, which they forget in a blink of an eye, and a little good equipment turns them into bandits? It's a shame......"

Cheng Shijie nodded, and said thoughtfully: "General Mao is right, the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army should indeed be rectified!" ”

Mao Chenglu actually just said casually, the Dongjiang Army fought with Jiannu, almost never fought positional warfare, nor did it attack in a dignified manner, there was no way, the equipment of the Dongjiang Army was not even as good as the guards in the interior, in this case, they could only fight skillfully, that is, take advantage of the enemy's defenselessness and surprise attack to give them a ruthless plan.

Military discipline or something, it's not very important, especially since the Dongjiang Army actually has at least a thousand female Jiannu, these are the trophies of the Dongjiang Army's officers and soldiers, and there are more than 2,000 real Jiannu, but they are all Haixi Jurchen. Most of these Jurchens couldn't get along with Jiannu anymore, and defected to Mao Wenlong, they participated in the military operations of the Dongjiang Army and acted as the leading party, it was precisely because of the existence of these leading parties that the Dongjiang Army was like a fish in water in the rear of Jiannu, and was never surrounded, ambushed, or severely damaged by the Jiannu army.

Cheng Shijie said that he wanted the Dongjiang Army to clean up military discipline, Mao Chenglu had just taken Cheng Shijie's 3,000 spears, 3,000 dog-leg knives, and 3,000 sets of cotton clothes at this time, and there was no way to refuse Cheng Shijie, the new boss.

Mao Chenglu sighed and said, "I don't know how Cheng Shuai is going to clean up the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army?" ”

Cheng Shijie looked at the Ning Navy soldier who was on duty in the distance, and he said to the officer on duty: "Someone!" ”

As the officer on duty turned around, he ran towards Cheng Shijie, ten steps away from Cheng Shijie, and then began to stand upright and saluted Cheng Shijie: "Report to the commander, the right capital division of the Ning Navy, the fourth division of the twelfth general, and the general officer Qin Liancheng report to you, there is no abnormality in the guard today, please instruct the marshal!" ”

"Answer to General Mao, what is the duty of a soldier!"

"Yes!"

Qin Liancheng said to Mao Chenglu: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their duty, obey commands in all actions, be brave and tenacious, and resolutely complete the task. Train hard, master all kinds of techniques, always keep the battle able to kill the enemy, and protect the safety of one party! ”

Cheng Shijie nodded and said, "The answer is correct, continue to defend!" ”

"Yes!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "How is the military discipline of the Ning Navy?" ”

"Rare in life!"

Mao Chenglu thought for a while and said, "I heard that the Qi family army of the year can also do what Ning Haijun did!" ”

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Yes, the commander's training method is to learn Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Discipline and Effectiveness", the equipment has been issued to you, and there will be no large-scale battles in the next few days, you must seize the time to train, adapt to the new equipment, and prepare for the next decisive battle!" This battle is related to the fate of the Han people in Liaodong, and the whole country has attracted attention......"

Mao Chenglu said: "Cheng Shuai, let Mao do it, Mao just do it!" ”

Cheng Shijie said: "Add vegetables tonight and eat salted fish and horse meat!" ”

"Cheng Dashuai is mighty!"

"Cheng Dashuai is domineering!"

"Cheng Dashuai wins!"

"Cheng Dashuai is wise!"

"Long live Cheng Dashuai!"

The roar made the ground of the Golden State Acropolis shake violently.

It can be seen how uplifting Cheng Shijie's words are.

Song Xiance heard the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army shouting the slogan of Long Live Cheng Dashuai, and a smug and proud look appeared on his face.

"See!"

Song Xiance pointed at Zhou Yandong and said: "Lord, give these spears, dog-legged knives, and cotton clothes that money can't buy to the Dongjiang Army, this is called the pattern." Handsome things aren't so easy to hold! ”

"Atmosphere!"

Zhou Yandong had to admit that Song Xiance was right, Cheng Shijie was not a stingy person, especially the military merits of the Ning Navy, which were all rewards.

Especially giving away good things like this is even more unambiguous.

looked at Cheng Shijie as if he had suffered a big loss, but the problem is that this army will be surnamed Cheng from now on.

In fact, there is no shortage of smart people in the Dongjiang Army, Mao Yongjie, a staff general under Mao Chenglu, Mao Yongjie and Geng Zhongming, Mao Youjie, and Mao Hongjie, known as the three heroes of the Dongjiang Army.

It's just a pity that Mao Hongjie was the only one present when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, among Mao Wenlong's adopted sons and grandsons, he wanted to break out and kidnap Yuan Chonghuan, it was Mao Wenlong's order, so that he was not allowed to act rashly, but because Mao Hongjie beat the Shang Fang sword in Yuan Chonghuan's hand, Yuan Chonghuan thought that Mao Wenlong was a dead friend, and after beheading Mao Wenlong, Mao Hongjie was ordered by Yuan Chonghuan to be beaten to death with a stick.

When Mao Hongjie died, all the bones of his whole body were broken, and even his internal organs were spit out of his mouth, which was miserable.

Mao Youjie looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "Father-in-law, Cheng Shuai has ill intentions!" ”

"How can a father not know!"

Mao Chenglu sighed and said: "Since my father was embarrassed, our Dongjiang Army has become a rootless duckweed, if you let your father choose, the Dongjiang Army should be the Dongjiang soldiers of Liaodong, and it must not become the Dongjiang Army of Liaoxi's lackeys." ”

The lackeys of Liaoxi are talking about Huanglong. In fact, Huanglong's ancestral home is from Nanchang, Jiangxi, and he was originally a lower-level officer who aided Liao, and he was promoted a little bit by accumulating military merits, but his promotions were all concentrated in western Liaoning, and he was also recommended by Zu Dashou, and was transferred to the deputy commander-in-chief, and then transferred to the commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army.

In fact, this is really the wronged Huanglong, Huanglong is the main force in history to suppress Kong Youde's rebellion, he chased Kong Youde to the sky and no way to enter the ground, Kong Youde's generals Li Yingyuan, Su Yougong, Chen Guangfu and his party Gao Zhixiang and other 16 people, won the first 1,000 odds, recaptured the women without counting, and sacrificed prisoners to the court.

Mao Chenglu is very unhappy with Huanglong, but he has no choice, as Mao Wenlong's adopted son, he is slightly smaller, and he is not good at uniting Mao generals, if he knows how to win people's hearts, he will not let the Dongjiang Army become a plate of scattered sand.

After eating the dinner arranged by Cheng Shijie for the Dongjiang Army, these Dongjiang Army officers and soldiers slept in a nest with a fire wall and a fire pit, although they were semi-underground, they were extremely warm, especially now that they had brand-new cotton clothes, warm and comfortable.

"Head, why do you say Cheng Shuai is so good to us?"

"Nothing to offer, not a traitor......"

"Shut up!"

A veteran scolded: "Cheng Shuai's food might as well be fed to the dogs!" ”

The soldiers were silent.

"This man, have a conscience, pat your chest and ask yourself, what do you have? What else do you have to calculate for Cheng Shuai? ”

"He's trying to make us loyal to him!"

"What's so bad about being loyal to Cheng Shuai? Some of you eat, some wear, and someone will bury you when you die in the future, even if you don't have a son who breaks the incense, you can still enter the Loyal Soul Garden, what are you not satisfied with? ”

"Then let's be loyal to Cheng Shuai!"

"You can be allegiance-free, but, take off your new clothes and get out of here!"

Huang Long sent the Dongjiang Army to Jinzhou in batches, and Cheng Shijie sent equipment, cotton clothes, and warmth to the Dongjiang Army.

Slowly, the Dongjiang Army was surnamed Cheng, and there was no Huanglong General Army in their eyes!

They have only one object of allegiance, and that is Cheng Shijie.

PS: There are a lot of things today, I got up at seven o'clock in the morning and went to the hospital with more than 1,000 words, and I took the time to code some in the corridor. Now there is no surgery, thousands a day, only surgery can be performed on Monday, this chapter has not had time to be modified, everyone sees typos and wrong places, Lao Cheng then changed it, sorry!
