Chapter 113

Although Xu Guangqi told Sun Yuanhua in the letter, let Sun Yuanhua find a way to give up his previous suspicions with Cheng Shijie, so that he could advance and retreat together with the West French Party.

Although he didn't mention anything about marriage, he was concerned about Cheng Shijie's singleness, which is very revealing.

In addition to Xu Guangqi, the party leader, followed by Sun Yuanhua, a capable general, and Chen Zilong, the son of Chen Suowen, the director of the Ministry of Industry.

But the problem is that Chen Zilong is only twenty-five years old, ten years younger than Cheng Shijie, he does have a daughter named Chen Xin, but she is only six years old, even if the twenty-five-year-old Chen Zilong wants to be Cheng Shijie's father-in-law, there is no such a big daughter.

As for Sun Yuanhua, he has three sons, the eldest son and Ding, the second son and Dou, and the third son and Jing, of which the youngest son and son and Jing are unmarried, but the problem is that he has no daughters.

Xu Guangqi had already sent Chen Zilong to Liaodong, because Xu Guangqi felt that the Ming Dynasty was affected by the cold Xiaoice River weather, and he wanted to cultivate new crops that could withstand drought and cold, and if he wanted to realize this wish, Liaonan was the best place to experiment.

First of all, southern Liaoning has a large amount of land, even in the later Dalian City, it still has 20.52 million mu of cultivated land, including about 500,000 mu of paddy fields.

Secondly, the climate in southern Liaoning is colder and rainless than Shanghai, and the climate here is more similar to that of most parts of the north.

In the end, there is no Mintian here, only Juntun. Because Mintian will consider its own interests, it will not accept fresh crops lightly, and it is worried that once the harvest fails, it will suffer heavy losses, and Cheng Shijie's military tun is used as an experimental field, as long as Cheng Shijie is willing, what crops he wants to plant, what crops will be planted by the military households in Tuntian.

This is also the place where Xu Guangqi likes southern Liaoning the most.

The influence of the West Law Party and Xu Guangqi himself in the north is very limited, and the influence of the West Law Party is mainly concentrated in Liangguang and Jiangnan, while Jiangnan is less affected by the Xiaoice River, and Xu Guangqi, an agricultural expert, cannot find experimental fields in the north.

It's a ridiculous joke.

This time, Xu Guangqi asked Chen Zilong to take more than 100 agricultural experts from the West French Party to the north, once Cheng Shijie turned his face and did not recognize people, not only Chen Zilong fell into the mouth of the tiger, but the entire West French Party will be devastated.

So, in this case, Sun Yuanhua had to take a risk.

"Dacheng, you prepare, Benxian will choose a day to go to sea and go to Jinzhou!"

"Lord Futai, students think it's ......"

"What?"

"The student thinks that Lord Futai had better write a letter to Cheng Dashuai first to probe his tone!"

Sun Yuanhua nodded: "That's very good!" ”

……

"In the fifth year of Chongzhen, in 1632 AD, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the Yellow River broke in Mengjin, and the military and civilian merchants were killed and injured countless times. The people migrated and begged for food everywhere, and had no way out, but gathered together and rebelled. ”

Although there were a few snowfalls in southern Liaoning in winter, the amount of snow was not too large, and the snow did not exceed 30 centimeters.

In Cheng Shijie's view, if Chongzhen's five years of southern Liaoning are not good, drought will occur, and this deadly Xiaoice River climate can really drive farmers who rely on the sky to eat crazy.

The Mengjin crossing of the Yellow River is broken, and Henan, which is full of disasters and difficulties, is about to be famine and mourn again. Cheng Shijie saw the major events of Chongzhen's five years, and now history has been changed beyond recognition by him, and the Kong Youde Rebellion, which originally turned the whole of Shandong upside down, has been eliminated invisibly.

Whether history will be staged in the same time and space as it was in the original, Cheng Shijie doesn't know, at least he knows a little, although he killed Kong Youde in advance, there is no change in the encyclopedia and history books of later generations.

Cheng Shijie realized that the end of the Ming Dynasty that he came to should not be the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, but a parallel time and space, that is to say, how he does this butterfly in another world will not affect future generations.

He was relieved of this, and he was really afraid that it would produce space-time turbulence and make a mess of the history of the future generations.

After the New Year, it is the Lantern Festival.

After the Lantern Festival, southern Liaoning has carried out an intense spring ploughing preparation stage.

However, the problem is that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, Cheng Shijie wants to do a good spring ploughing, but people are unwilling. Although Huang Taiji did not mean to send troops to retaliate against Ning Haijun, as the fifteenth elder brother among the three brothers of Dolgon, the famous general of Jiannu, and the master of the white flag of the pride of the sky, Duoduo. (Note: After the death of Huang Taiji, he changed the flag with his brother Dorgon and became the master of the white flag)

The news of Azig's defeat in southern Liaoning reached Shenyang. Azig became the laughing stock of the Eight Banners, this incident made Duoduo ashamed, because as the eldest and youngest of the three Dolgon brothers, under the deliberate connivance of Huang Taiji, in Duoduo's heart, the fat old eight is not as terrible as Azig feels, in Duoduo's heart, the fat old Eight Emperor Taiji is an amiable elder, as long as he can win the battle, with or without his orders, there will be no problem.

Of course, this is because Huang Taiji deliberately favored the result and gave Duoduo the illusion. Huang Taiji was too strict with Azig, and there was harshness in the harshness. Just like the first year of Chongzhen, Duoduo got married. As the eldest of three brothers, Azig held a wedding for his younger brother Dord, what kind of mistake is this?

Huang Taiji held Duoduo's wedding without authorization with Azig, and removed Azig from the knighthood, but the young and ignorant Duoduo thought that this was Huang Taiji giving him face and attaching importance to him.

In fact, before Nurhachi's death, there was a clear instruction: Azig was the owner of the Yellow Banner, and Duoduo was the owner of the Yellow Banner, and in the future, after his death, all the pro-army under his command would be given to Duoduo, but another banner would be given to Dorgon. After Huang Taiji became the king of Khan, the two yellow flags were swapped with the two white flags, and Duoduo became the banner owner of the positive white flag, at this time, Duoduo was still the stronger flag owner of the Eight Banners.

Duoduo is not only the banner owner of the positive white flag, but also inherits the twenty cattle records of Nurhachi's pro-army, and the main white flag Duoduo has a total of forty-five cattle records. The other banners are all under the command of one Jiala, i.e., five times three hundred, a total of 1,500 people.

However, the Jialae Zhen of the Zhengbai Banner had nine Niulu, the number of which was nine times three hundred, a total of 2,700 people, and a total of 13,500 men and horses in the whole banner. There are nearly half more people in the white flag than in the white flag.

In the fifth year of Chongzhen, the sixth year of Tiancong, and the eleventh day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, a high-level military meeting was held inside the Zhengbai Banner, and the participants included five Jiala Ezhen and forty-five Niu Lu Ezhen of the Zhengbai Banner.

Jiannu didn't have so many rules at this time, and the first chief of staff of Zhengbai Banner, who was in charge of reconnaissance and intelligence, reported to Niu Lu Ezhen and Jiala Ezhen.

“…… Around the sixteenth day of the lunar month last year, the Dongjiang army of the Ming barbarians arrived at the stone castle, but they were not stationed in the stone castle, but were backed by the stone castle, and deployed along the mountain road. According to an informant lurking in the Dongjiang Army, it seems that it was not Huang Long himself who led the army, but Mao Chenglu, the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, the former commander-in-chief of the Dongjiang Army......

"The strength of the Dongjiang army this time, it seems that between 20,000 and 30,000 people, most of them are infantry, not many horses, although so, but this Dongjiang army is better equipped and has a large number of strong crossbows, Susa led fourteen people to the close reconnaissance, but was discovered by the other party, crossbow arrows covered, Susa's fourteen people, only Susa was seriously injured and survived, so he could not come close to observe, so the exact number is unknown, can only be roughly estimated according to the size of its camp, from the sentry guarding the camp The weapons and armor are quite sophisticated, Its degree is superior to that of the defenders of the castles of Guanning. ”

"After the Jiang army arrived at the stone castle, they kept repairing the city pass and rectifying the defense, they pushed along the line, built snow walls, dug trenches, and set up arrow towers, and the ice walls were strong, and the servants judged...... Before the ice and snow melted, the Dongjiang Army had a geographical advantage......"

Duoduo coughed and said, "Isn't the Dongjiang Army an army called Hanako?" ”

"It should be supported by Cheng Shijie, the chief soldier of the Ning Navy!"

Zhu Weiyan, a Han staff member under Duoduo, thought for a while and said: "This Ning Navy Cheng Shijie, about the end of October, launched the Dengzhou City Mutiny, is the mastermind of this mutiny, once occupied Dengzhou City, hijacked Denglai Governor Sun Yuanhua, and adopted the method of work for relief, it is said that the people of Dengzhou Prefecture are quite praised for this person, the place where the Ning Navy is still stationed is not in Dengzhou City, but in the original Dengzhou Weizuo Thousand Households in Ninghai Prefecture, which was later renamed Ninghai City, the specific number of troops is unknown, the combat power is ominous, and the equipment is ominous......

Hearing this, Duoduo's face turned cold.

Damn, the strength is unknown, the combat power is unknown, the equipment is unknown, doesn't it mean that he didn't say anything?

Chu Weiyan looked at Duoduo's face and hurriedly explained: "Master, this Cheng Shijie was originally unknown, just a thousand households, and people like him have not eight hundred but one thousand, so ...... There is no intelligence about this person......"

Dayinbu continued: "The army of the Ning Navy defending in Tieshan Fort, like the Dongjiang Army in Stone Castle, did not defend the city, but camped outside the northern city, judging from its camp, there should be tens of thousands of men and horses. ”

The white flag Baturu and the yellow flag Baturu Aobai are the same name as the fierce general Nahamulu said loudly: "The Ming army is divided into two places to guard the pass, and when the troops are sent south, they should test the reality and ......."

Ye Hehu Erha immediately objected: "It's not proper, and this spring, it is the season of cattle and horse mating and production, and there are not many troops that can be deployed. ”

Duoduo immediately stood up and waved his hand, "Do you still need to discuss this matter?" The battle of southern Liaoning is imperative, the twelfth brother has lost face in southern Liaoning, and Ben Beile has a heavy army, but he pretends to be deaf and dumb, how will the other six banners look at our three brothers? ”

In Duoduo's eyes, he didn't care about how much property he captured, how many Ming soldiers he killed or wounded, how many slaves he captured, and he had only one purpose, to find a place for his twelve brothers.

In order to accumulate strength to fight this battle, Duoduo ignored the breeding of livestock in the Zhengbai Banner and the opposition of the people, and insisted on gathering the five Jiala Ezhen and forty-five Niulu of the Zhengbai Banner, but they did not go south with a full number, but each Niulu sent 150 soldiers, including 100 armor soldiers and 50 war slaves.

Zhengbai Qiqi dispatched 4,500 horsemen, a total of 1,250 war slaves, and the cannon fodder Han army of Lishu Zhengbaiqi, a total of more than 12,000 horses, marching south.

This news will be reported to Huang Taiji immediately.

Huang Taiji only nodded: "Got it......"

Then, there is no then.

Huang Taiji is a ceiling-level player who plays political struggles, and the young Duoduo was provoked by him in twos and threes, so he began to get angry and get carried away.

Although Huang Taiji is now suspected of killing people with a knife, the problem is that there are twenty elites of Niu Lu under Duoduo's command, all of whom are Nurhachi's protectors, and these elites only obey Nurhachi's orders and are loyal to Duoduo, 6,000 men and horses, he can't grab them, and they can't be used by him.

For an emperor and a hero, a person who can't be used by him is disloyal, even if he is born in the Aixin Jueluo family, he will be killed.

……

At the same time, after the Lantern Festival of Chongzhen's five years, Cheng Shijie had nearly 200 more Tuntian and 100 households under his hands, which made Cheng Shijie a little difficult.

What he really didn't expect was that now it was not only the people of Liaodong who crossed the sea and arrived in southern Liaoning to join him, but even the people of Shandong, Tianjin, and Henan Guide came to join him.

If you want to talk about this matter, it is still Song Xiance's pot.

In order to make Cheng Shijie famous, this product took advantage of the connections he made when he ran the rivers and lakes to mix with society, and began to build momentum for Cheng Shijie before Cheng Shijie arrived in southern Liaoning.

At that time, the Ning Navy only had 63 Tuntian and 100 households, plus the Ning Navy was less than 20,000 horses, and if he wanted to gain a foothold in southern Liaoning, let alone Jiannu, even if it was the Dongjiang Army, Cheng Shijie would be difficult to deal with if he had a crooked mind.

Song Xiance successively found more than 100 Jianghu warlocks to coax a family to migrate to southern Liaoning at a price of one tael of silver, so that these Jianghu warlocks could build momentum and spread rumors.

At first, the effect of the campaign was not good, but when Cheng Shijie fulfilled his promise to distribute homesteads to Liaodong immigrants, distribute reclaimed fields, and rules, even including the provision of seeds, farming tools, and most importantly, working in southern Liaoning, adult men have a daily salary of one bucket of grain, women have seven or eight buckets of grain remuneration, and the tax is only three buckets per mu, this news made the surviving people of Liaodong who were originally in a wait-and-see state, even the families of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, and the people of Ning Haijun who did not want to go, They mobilized to go to southern Liaoning.

Since the third day of the first lunar month, the number of people who have arrived in southern Liaoning has exceeded 1,000, and then it will increase every day, although Cheng Shijie still has food, but the problem is that the construction of the factory and the start of the manpower are temporarily saturated, and there are still sixty or seventy days before the spring ploughing.

Why can they eat and drink for nothing, we need to work?

In this case, Cheng Shijie temporarily adjusted the deployment, selected the young and strong among the displaced people, and organized them into 100 households, until the 23rd of the first month, a total of 209 new 100 young and strong households, 209 100 households, each 100 households distributed 20 carts, 50 sledgehammers, and 50 shovels, all the way north.

Cheng Shijie asked the Ning Navy and the Dongjiang Army to go north from Tieshan Fort and Stone Castle respectively, waiting for the opportunity to occupy Fuzhou and Haizhou, and the two hundred projects and 100 households were advancing all the way, repairing the roads along the way, and the abandoned castle moved north in the future where the decisive battle with Jiannu might be carried out.

Pushing the flames of war away from Gaizhou and Jinzhou can also avoid causing panic among the people of Tuntian.

On the 29th day of the first month of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Bingyugou was eighty miles north of Fuzhou City.

This is the territory of Zhuanghe City, Dalian City in later generations, according to legend, when Xue Rengui of the Tang Dynasty went on an expedition to the east, he had set up camp here. Tang Taizong Li Shimin came here to raise the army, and saw that this place was indeed a place where "one husband is a pass, and ten thousand people are not open", so he gave the name "Bingyu", and later it became Bingyu.

Although the sound is the same, the meaning is completely different.

The military strategic position here is very important, because of the mountainous area here, there are only two roads from north to south, one passes through Xiuyan City in the east of Fuzhou Wei and Phoenix City in the northeast of Fuzhou Wei, which is the second of the four passages from central Liaoning to southern Liaoning.

Phoenix City is the Fuzhou Wei Phoenix Mountain Guarding Thousand Households, and it is also Cheng Shijie's current nominal hometown.

Cheng Shijie is very bold, he just took advantage of the time when Huang Taiji had no time to take care of southern Liaoning, and occupied the territory step by step.

If the defense line can be stabilized in Fuzhou, Cheng Shijie can start to develop Gaizhou.

Eighty projects and 100 households, totaling nearly 8,000 people, then arrived at Xiuyan City and Phoenix City to carry out emergency repairs to the two abandoned castles, and at the same time dredge this section of nearly 400 miles of disrepaired official road.

The Dongjiang Army marched into Haizhou and occupied the central and southern parts of the Liaohe Plain, with the same strategic purpose as the Ning Navy, which was to push the site of future battles to the Liaohe Plain.

These Liaodong people, who had just arrived in southern Liaoning, needed dozens of people in groups to drag huge stone grinders to compact and flatten the roads that had fallen into disrepair, and to rebuild the abandoned fortresses along the way, and to re-dredge the ditches that had been silted and rotten.

More than 200 projects and 100 households, all the way forward, all the way to construction, until February 24, the fifth year of Chongzhen, along the Phoenix City, Xiuyan City, Shiqiao Fort, Songlin Fort, Xiama Fort, Shimen Fort, Xinghai City, Gangu City, Ancient Castle, Wangtai Town, Haizhou City, a total of 12 castles connected with the city.

These castles were basically simply renovated and had a preliminary defensive function, and as more and more territory was seized, the forces of the Ning Navy became more dispersed.

Cheng Shijie's current strategic layout in southern Liaoning is actually Sun Chengzong's set, relying on the dangerous terrain to build fortresses all the way, slowly advancing, and every time he advances to a place, he will be firmly nailed there like a steel nail, and then continue to move forward when it is operated into an impregnable fortress.

To put it bluntly, Cheng Shijie bullied Jiannu for his poor ability to attack fortifications, and Jiannu's conquest of Guangning, Tieling, and Shenyang cities was all fought by spies, and if the spies were cleaned up, they would only be able to break their heads and bleed.

Sun Chengzong pinpointed the pulse of Jiannu and adopted this method of settling a hard village to fight a dumb battle, squeezing the living space of Jiannu little by little with the fortress group, forcing Jiannu to take the initiative to come over and attack the strong fortress.

With Jiannu's poor performance in previous battles, even if it can be defeated, a large number of people will have to die, how many people are Jiannu? Where can it withstand such attrition?

This is also a helpless way, although it is said that the Ning Navy is not like other Ming armies, the other Ming armies have let Jiannu lose their courage, and they have long lost the courage to fight with Jiannu, no matter how much training they make, it is useless to give them how much money they give.

It's okay for them to defend the city, and go out of the city to fight? Believe it or not, they tied you up first? Sun Chengzong had no choice but to use this stupid method.

Cheng Shijie actually didn't want to learn from Sun Chengzong, if he had tens of thousands of cavalry, he would definitely fight Jiannu to the end, and he would never die, but the problem is that although there are more than 2,000 cavalry in the Ning Navy, in the case of three to one, they barely remain undefeated, and two against one can not do Jiannu, which has been tested in practice.

In this case, Cheng Shijie has no other choice.

Although it is said that the infantry of the Ning Navy already has the strength of the hard Jiannu cavalry, the problem is that the infantry will always be at a disadvantage when facing the cavalry.

As long as Jiannu sees the dense firepower of the Ning Navy's thunderbolts, will they still rush up?

The answer is yes, unless Jiannu's brain is caught in the door, or he is kicked by a donkey, they will charge in the face of a hail of bullets.

Under the condition that the cavalry of the Ning Navy did not form a suppressive advantage over Jiannu, Cheng Shijie could only adopt this method, using fortress tactics to advance step by step, snatching the initiative back from Jiannu, and it was best to force Jiannu to fight a tough battle that they were not good at.

In this way, a new problem has been raised, and the strength of the Ning Navy is seriously insufficient.

"Expand!"

Shen Mingyu pointed to the twelve newly renovated castles along the standard Haizhou Wei and Fuzhou Wei lines on the map: "The twelve castles on this line must be garrisoned, even if each castle is stationed with two hundred and sixty people, this also requires twelve divisions and three thousand one hundred and twenty people. ”

The entire army of the Ning Navy has more than 20,000 horses, and all of them are soldiers, but the problem is that the naval division troops account for more than one-third of the quota, and there are more than 2,000 cavalry, as well as 12,000 men and horses from the six divisions of Cheng Shijie's Guard Bureau.

In fact, the number of soldiers in the infantry of the Ning Navy was only about two divisions, more than 12,600 people. If another 3,120 men were to be transferred, there would be only 8,000 men left in the field of the entire army.

Although it is said that 8,000 men and horses are a lot, the problem is that Jiannu has eight banners, and any one banner is more than 7,500 men and horses.

What's more, the base camp of Jinzhou City, as well as Gaizhou City, Haizhou City, and Fuzhou City, must also have troops left, so in the case of dividing the troops, the strength of the Ning Navy is really insufficient.

Until now, Cheng Shijie also realized that there was something wrong with Ning Haijun.

Of course, this is not a big problem.

In the past, the Ning Navy did not need to defend the base camp Ninghai City, because there was no bandit who did not open their eyes, learn from Qin Wu, and take the initiative to attack the Ning Navy.

But Jiannu is different, Jiannu is not afraid of Ning Navy, the middle palace goes straight and smashes Huanglong, which is also the habitual method of Jiannu's soldiers.

Not to mention the hinterland of Jinzhou and Gaizhou, as long as Jiannu is given a chance, they dare to fight even in Beijing City.

"Expand the army, we must expand the army!"

Zhang Yu also wanted to expand the army, after all, Cheng Shijie's guard bureau, 1,200 people were drawn from the right capital division, and the right capital division was originally less than the left capital division, and now it is even less.

Zhou Yandong sneered: "You guys are quite easy, do you know how much silver we spent in December last year?" It is more than 80,000 taels of silver, the foundation of our Ning Navy is thin, and the Tuntian Army has not yet had a penny of income, it is all expenses, and it is necessary to reclaim the land and build water conservancy, and the use of the state capital is getting tighter and tighter! ”

After arguing for a while, Admiral Zhongning realized a serious problem, and their eyes looked at Cheng Shijie in unison: "I don't know what the big marshal wants?" ”

"It is imperative to expand the army, and as for the issue of military spending, ......"

Cheng Shijie said solemnly: "Let's Ning Navy's rules, when you don't have money, go grab a vote!" ”

"But now Jiannu is also poor......

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "This, in fact, is not a problem, our Ning Navy can reclaim at least three million acres of land this year, even if one acre of land collects three buckets of tax grain, there are 300,000 stones, and then buy some from the people, the food problem can be self-sufficient, only one premise is needed, we have to block Jiannu in the first line of Phoenix City, Xiuyan City, Shiqiao Fort, and Songlin Fort, Jiannu can't go south, and southern Liaoning is our back garden." The opinion of this commander is that the army will be expanded, but there is also a problem, if the new army wants to form combat effectiveness, it will take at least a few months, and Jiannu should not give us time......"

"What does that big man mean......"

"This marshal plans to set up the Ning Navy Garrison Division Command Division, that is, the third capital division of our Ning Navy infantry unit, you also look down on Jiannu too much, put a division in a town fort, you look down on Jiannu!"

Cheng Shijie pondered his words while thinking: "This marshal's plan is that the Ning Navy is divided into two systems: field and garrison, the field system remains unchanged for the time being, the garrison army system, each castle is garrisoned with a reorganization bureau, two divisions and directly subordinate troops, a total of 750 people, and a garrison commander. The newly formed garrison capital division has fifteen bureaus under its jurisdiction! ”

The generals were overjoyed.

Since then, the Ning Navy has expanded by 11,200 troops.

Cheng Shijie continued: "The other is the Right Capital Division, the Right Capital Division is not satisfied with the formation, and now it will be done together, and another 2,500 people will be recruited, so that the left and right divisions will have the same establishment, and all the divisions will be 6,800 people!" ”

Speaking of this, Cheng Shijie looked at Song Xiance next to him.

As Cheng Shijie's gaze fell on him, Song Xiance quickly understood what Cheng Shijie meant.

With more than 26,000 Dongjiang troops in southern Liaoning, Cheng Shijie is preparing to gather wool.

He has been raising the Dongjiang Army for more than two months, although Cheng Shijie has the power to control the Dongjiang Army, but he does not give these Dongjiang Army names, Ning Haimen do not treat them as their own people, and the Dongjiang Army also thinks that they are not their own people.

Now it is Song Xiance's turn to come out and communicate with the generals of the Dongjiang Army in private, as long as their heads are not stupid, these Dongjiang Army soldiers will choose their own path.

In later generations, there was also a saying called "free referendum".

……

Wangtai Town, located in the transition zone between the foothills and the plains of Haizhou, has a broad-leaf contour in the shape of a broad leaf. The terrain is high in the east and low in the west. The terrain has low mountains, hills, and plains.

At this time, in Wangtai Town, more than 2,000 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were building fortifications along the valley, and these soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were very enthusiastic about their work, and many of them had a few catties of meat on their bodies because of their full meals for more than two months.

They will heat the stones one by one, and then pour cold water on them, and the stones will be subjected to the principle of thermal expansion and contraction, and crack, forming pieces of stone, which will be sent to the kiln factory, fired into lime, and then used as a building material, mixed into triple soil, and tamped into a city wall.

The general of the Dongjiang Army, who was in charge of garrisoning Wangtai Town, was Shang Keyi.

"Woo ......"

The horn sounded for eating, and these Dongjiang soldiers who were working hurriedly put away the tools in their hands, began to line up, and first went to the wooden basin prepared by the cooks to wash their hands.

The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army who had washed their hands quickly assembled, lined up, and then took lunch boxes and stepped forward one by one to receive their meals.

The food of the Dongjiang Army is the same as that of the Ning Navy, there are no miscellaneous grains, no stale grains, they are all white-flour steamed buns or buns, and there are also rice, of course, the difference is that the steamed buns in this period are not as white as clotted fat, but with blue-black, which is pure natural without additives and no bleach, which is healthier.

Each soldier's taste is different, but meat is everyone's favorite, almost more than eighty percent of soldiers like to eat mutton-stuffed buns, these mutton, are from Xie Jinglin's harvest.

He took a caravan, with salt, tea, iron pots, briquette stoves and other materials, arrived near Dandong, and traded with the Jiannu there, this winter Jiannu had many sheep, cattle, and horses frozen to death, Xie Zongze bought these frozen mutton at a very low price, at a price slightly more expensive than sheepskin.

Sheepskin can be made into leather clothing, leather boots, mutton and beef have become the meat in the mouths of the Dongjiang Army or Ning Navy soldiers, of course, now the weather is cold, there is no need to worry about the meat will spoil, in Liaodong has a pure natural refrigerator.

The collar buns who love steamed buns, the collar steamed buns who love steamed buns, and the collar rice who love rice, are enough. They spread large sheets of mulberry paper on the ground, and twelve people sat together in a team, with turnips, salted fish, and mutton stewed cabbage in the middle, and when everyone had arrived, they began to devour them.

"Well, did my brother hear that? Cheng Dashuai is going to recruit! ”

"Recruitment?"

"Well, the treatment of the Ning Navy is better than that of our Dongjiang Army!"

Some Dongjiang soldiers pointed to the food in front of them and said, "It's better than this, how good can it be?" The landlord's old wealth is just this kind of food, right? ”

"Let's eat the same as Ning Haijun, it's ......"

"It's just what ......"

"That is, they have a military salary, ordinary soldiers have one or two taels of silver per month, the captain has one or two or three dollars, the sentry chief has one or two or five dollars, and there are more than 100 ......."

"Let's ......"

"The military salary is just a small head, and the big head is their reward, too high!"

"How tall ......"

"Behead a Jiannu with a head, fifty taels of silver!"

There were many Dongjiang soldiers who did not think so. Because they know that Jiannu's head is not easy to cut, and if they cut off the head, there is no credit for them.

"Ning Haijun is different, they cut a head of a slave, and they can reward fifty taels of silver, or fifty acres of land!"

"What!"

"Fifty acres of land?"

These Dongjiang troops could not sit still.

"Also, Ning Haijun is injured and treated, and there are three taels, five taels, and ten taels of silver for the decoction and medicine!"

"Even if you have a thin life and die on the battlefield, you will be given twenty taels of funeral expenses, and your family can share one hundred acres of land, which is the biggest difference!"

"Besides, Cheng Dashuai is different from other generals, he is a spit and a nail, saying that the reward will be rewarded, without adulteration, let me tell you, a cousin of mine, when he was lucky in Shandong, he followed Cheng Dashuai as a soldier, guess what is going now?"

"How?"

"He now has more than 1,000 acres of land under his name!"

"Brag, even if Jiannu has a head of fifty taels of silver, how many heads can reward more than 1,000 acres of land? Need more than twenty, your cousin is Lu Bu? Or Zhao Zilong? ”

"My cousin is an artillery soldier of the Ning Navy, and his artillery is accurate, and he can kill more than 20 ...... with one shot."

Shang Keyi is different from ordinary soldiers, he has an independent tent, and he doesn't have to work in person, although it is also a meat bun, the meat bun eaten by ordinary soldiers, luck can see a little shredded meat, and Shang Keyi's meat bun, that is, the real meat bun, in one bite, is full of mutton, not even cabbage, only some green onions.

drank a large pot of mutton soup and killed four large meat buns, at this time, Shang Keyi felt that something was wrong, every time the soldiers outside ate, the scene was like thousands of pigs eating frantically, how could it be quiet now?

As a veteran of the Dongjiang Army, Shang Keyi immediately realized that something was wrong, and the soldiers mutinied?

He hurriedly picked up the waist knife placed next to him, this is the hundred steel knife that Cheng Shijie gave to the Dongjiang Army, the imitation of the Mo knife style, Shang Keyi is tall and can wield this heavy blade.

His armor is not ordinary, this is the heavy armor of the Jiannu white armor soldiers, basically can ignore the knife split, arrow shooting, unless it is attacked by a blunt weapon such as a hammer or axe, otherwise, the defensive ability of this heavy armor is quite wow.

Shang Keyi came to the tent with a Mo knife, only to see countless Dongjiang Army soldiers kneeling densely outside the tent, and these soldiers were kneeling silently.

Shang Ke asked puzzledly, "What are you doing?" ”

"General Shang, you can do well, take your brothers to a living road!"

"That's right, General Shang, you can take us to Cheng Dashuai!"

"General Shang, Cheng Dashuai is from Liaodong, don't follow Cheng Dashuai, let's follow Huang Shuai, don't you turn your arms out?"

"General Shang......"

Shang Keyi was not unhurried in the face of this situation, after all, he had experienced many mutinies among the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, and he searched in the crowd, as long as the leading officer was found and cut down, the matter would be calmed down.

Shang Keyi looked at the general manager beside him: "Du Hui, is it you who picked the head?" ”

Du Hui got up: "It's my ......"

"Shang thinks he is not thin on you......"

"The general saved my life three times!"

Du Hui said with tears in his eyes: "General Shang, we are neighbors, you also know, our Du family is full of forty-seven people, and now only I am left, a younger brother who has been beaten into a fool, a lame old lady, my life is not a pity, but who raises the old lady, my son is only five years old, as long as we vote for Cheng Dashuai, in the future the brother dies, Cheng Dashuai will help the brother to support the old mother and son, they can still live, our old Du family will not be cut off the incense, the brothers don't ask for much, beg General Shang ......"
