Chapter 116

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, the great victory in Haizhou, the Ning Navy killed tens of thousands of people who came to commit Jiannu in Haizhou, beheaded more than 4,000 ranks, and the head of the Han army was more than 6,000 ranks......"

When Gao Qiqian's voice sounded in the court, the officials below cursed in their hearts.

Since Emperor Chongzhen found out that he was cheated by the ministers, he began to reuse eunuchs and Jinyi guards, but the problem is that there is only one Wei Zhongxian, Cao Huachun is not Wei Zhongxian, neither Wei Zhongxian's ability, nor Wei Zhongxian's courage, let alone Wei Zhongxian's status in the heart of the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

Despite this, the ministers strongly opposed the eunuch Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch Bingbi, to interfere in politics, and at the same time caused the eunuchs to huddle, from the former eunuch to the twelve eunuchs, the four divisions and the eight bureaus, and began to use various opportunities to fan the flames for Emperor Chongzhen. And Emperor Chongzhen is like a rebellious child in adolescence.

The minister told him to go east, and he went west.

Whether it is Gao Qiqian or Cao Huachun now, it is something that almost most ministers can't afford to provoke, and the eunuchs deal with Wenchen very simply, just find a reason, and a check is accurate. In the entire Ming Dynasty, ninety percent of officials' buttocks are not clean, who can stand up to inspection?

With the efforts of the eunuchs, Emperor Chongzhen's impression of Wenchen, especially the Donglin Party, was even worse.

Almost all the ministers didn't believe a word of Gao Qiqian's words.

Although Jiannu rose, the Ming Dynasty fought against it, winning less and losing more, they dealt with the Guanning army all the year round, and they could not be more familiar with the routines of those martial artists who killed good and risked their merits, falsely reported their war exploits, and ate empty salaries and drank the blood of soldiers.

has long cultivated a pair of fiery eyes, no matter how clever you are, no matter how you write the article in a colorful way, they can see at a glance which ones are credible and which ones are not!

Guan Ningjun said at every turn how many thousands of Jiannu he had annihilated, but he only dared to report a few hundred, if anyone dared to boast that he had beheaded more than a thousand, it would definitely be angry.

You're an idiot when we are, right? Now Cheng Shijie is good, as soon as he opens his mouth, he will behead more than 4,000 people, good guy, people are pouring water into the battle, he is pouring the battle record into the water!

Now looking at Emperor Chongzhen's ruddy face, this is exciting.

The first assistant of the cabinet, Zheng Yiwei, a scholar of the East Pole Temple, this is the weaker cabinet chief assistant in the Chongzhen Dynasty, and he has only been the first assistant for two months longer than Li Biao.

Zheng Yiwei looked at Xu Guangqi, lowered his voice and said, "Zixian, (Xu Guangqi's words) have passed!" ”

Xu Guangqi was a little embarrassed, at this time, Sun Yuanhua's letter was suppressed by Gao Qiqian, but the fold had already been sent to the celebrant and was about to be sent to Emperor Chongzhen.

Because he didn't know the truth of the matter, Xu Guangqi didn't dare to make a conclusion.

Like the last Jinshi Mountain victory, Ning Haijun beheaded 452 levels, and the credibility is relatively high, but the problem is that now......

Xu Guangqi didn't know the real situation, he could only stubbornly say: "Chuyang (Sun Yuanhua's character) is a stable person, he will definitely report the details, wait and see!" ”

Zheng Yiwei believes in Xu Guangqi's character very much.

To say that the cabinet of the Chongzhen Dynasty is all rubbish is absolutely biased. At least, scholars like Sun Chengzong, Li Biao, and Jiang Dejing are all capable ministers, but there are too many people who are dragging their feet, and they are ridiculed as only ministers, but in fact they are not poisonous enough, nor treacherous enough, and they were impeached.

Emperor Chongzhen actually didn't directly believe Gao Qiqian's words, because it was too absurd. The army of the Ming Dynasty is like the national football team of later generations, if you want to say that the national football team has qualified, how many people dare to believe it?

Emperor Chongzhen is also a good-looking person, in case he is cheated, he will lose face.

Gao Qiqian saw that Emperor Chongzhen's face changed from ruddy to serious, and he knew that Emperor Chongzhen didn't believe it, he smiled and said: "Emperor, the slave maid is supervising the army in southern Liaoning, and there is no basis for what he says. ”

"Cheng Hu!"

Emperor Chongzhen was slightly stunned, and immediately spoke: "Xuan, Cheng Hu is here!" ”

"Xuancheng Tiger Visit!"

As the general shouted at the top of his voice.

Cheng Hu, formerly known as Liu Huzi, is only fourteen years old now, don't look at the time he has followed Cheng Shijie for a short time, but he eats well and has good nutrition, in just half a year, his height has grown by nearly ten centimeters, and now he is close to one meter seven.

Dressed in Ming-style Mingguang armor, it also looks extremely heroic.

As Cheng Hu entered the main hall, all the eyes in the hall looked at him, and being surrounded by hundreds of ministers like monkeys, Cheng Hu was very nervous in his heart.

But thinking that his words and deeds are related to Cheng Shijie's future, Cheng Hu secretly thought in his heart: "I must do it, the master is not even afraid of Jiannu bandits, but also a group of old men!" ”

"Minister, General Wude Cheng Hu, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Cheng Hu's age, of course, due to his perennial displacement, Cheng Hu was not a white-faced child, the skin on his face was very rough, older than his actual age, and he looked eighteen or nineteen years old.

Emperor Chongzhen saw his peers appear in the hall for the first time, and he was also very excited in his heart, he wanted to step forward to help Cheng Hu, but he was worried that he would be nagged by the ministers on the grounds of dishonorability.

Emperor Chongzhen asked, "What position does Cheng Qing hold now?" ”

"The minister is now added as the former thousand general manager of the right capital of the Ning Navy!"

"Cheng Qing come forward!"

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to ask Cheng Hu how long he had been fighting with Cheng Shijie, and then tell him about his Zhao Zilong, the current Emperor Chongzhen is a fan of Cheng Shijie.

However, Emperor Chongzhen felt that the ministers below were a little unkind, so he had to say seriously: "Cheng Qing, you have personally experienced the battle of Haizhou, and you must tell the battle of Haizhou according to the truth, and you must not hide half a word!" ”

"Yes!"

The army is a very good place to train people, and the Ning Navy is also a big dye vat, no matter how cowardly the person is, he will become able to speak well in the Ning Navy. Because in peacetime, as long as the Ning Navy does not fight, it will hold a meeting for half an hour to introduce itself to each other and summarize and share its experience in the process of fighting.

This is actually a bit like a brainstorming session of a pyramid scheme.

Cheng Hu said according to Gao Qiqian's words that he polished: "Since the victory in the Battle of Jinshi Mountain, my father has been thinking that Jiannu has won more and lost less in recent years, and it is estimated that it is difficult to swallow this breath, so he borrowed more than 26,000 troops from Huanglong of the Dongjiang Army, and the left and right divisions of the Ning Navy, plus the cavalry battalion, a total of more than 40,000 foot cavalry, and was ready to prevent Jiannu from raiding. More than a month ago, Jiannu was defeated by Jinshi Mountain and wanted to deal with the generals of the defeated army, so the leader of the battle was Bel Azig with a white flag, so he put the responsibility of this battle on the head of Zalan Ezhen Nala's Huerqi, and wanted to behead Huerqi and more than 2,000 people under his command......"

Speaking of this, the Manchu minister took a deep breath. They originally had a deep grudge against Emperor Chongzhen, but they heard that Huang Taiji was so indiscriminate and indiscriminately killed innocents. Suddenly a little lucky, Emperor Chongzhen compared with Huang Taiji, that is a saint.

Cheng Hu continued: "Because Hu Erqi's half-sister, who was a slave by the side of the thief chief Taiji, got the news in advance and notified Hu Erqi, and Hu Erqi led his troops to flee, was surrounded and killed by the Jiannu army, and fled into the mountains, until they found out that the Jiannu army was dispatched and prepared to attack southern Liaoning, Hu Erqi led more than a thousand remnants of his command to flee to Haizhou first and take refuge in his father!" ”

Speaking of this, the ministers suddenly realized.

It turned out that Cheng Shijie's luck was so good, and he knew the movements of the Jiannu army in advance.

I have to say that Gao Qiqian's ability to make up stories is actually not blown, so that Haizhou's victory seems much more reasonable.

"When my father learned that Jiannu was coming, he deployed heavy troops in Fuzhou, Phoenix City, Xiuyan City, Shiqiao Fort, Songlin Fort, Xiama Fort, Shimen Fort, Xinghai City, Gangu City, Ancient Castle, Wangtai Town, and Haizhou City, a total of 12 cities, and strictly defended them. On the 19th day of the first month, Jiannu arrived at the front line, and the officers and men of the two armies of the Ningning Navy and the Dongjiang Army fought bloodily with Jiannu according to the city, and the corpses were slaughtered, but the Ningning Navy and the Dongjiang Army also suffered heavy losses, Mao Chenglu, deputy chief of the Dongjiang Army, He Hongkui, a general of the staff, Liu Dayou, a guerrilla, and other three generals, and more than 4,000 soldiers were killed and wounded! ”

This is Cheng Shijie giving face to the Dongjiang Army, in fact, Mao Chenglu, He Hongkui and Liu Dayou are all Dongjiang Army generals who were killed in this Dongjiang Army mutiny.

If it weren't for this unexpected victory, they would have died, and they would have died in vain. Because Cheng Shijie picked up a great feat, he naturally didn't mind giving the three of them a mourning.

Although he obviously saw the good news and knew the result, Emperor Chongzhen still asked seriously: "What happened later?" ”

"Later, Jiannu saw that his father had already prepared, and I defended tightly, so I took the initiative to retreat when I felt that I couldn't take advantage!"

Cheng Hu said: "Because of the cold and freezing, Jiannu with the army of cattle, sheep and war horses, there is no way to eat on the spot, can only be transported from the rear, grain and grass consumption is quite large, when February 14, Liaonan suddenly fell heavy snow, Jiannu accelerated the retreat, the father took the opportunity to lead the Ning Navy 8,000 elites, the soldiers are divided into three roads, the right road to the left division Shen Mingyu led 2,000 men and horses, the right road to the right division Zhang Yu led 2,000 men and horses, the father Shuai personally led 4,000 elite troops, brave the snow to the north, under the cover of heavy snow, Jiannu was defenseless. On February 15 of the fifth year of Chongzhen, his father took the lead in attacking the Chinese army camp of Belle Duoduo under the white flag, and Jiannu hurriedly responded to the battle, and there was chaos. The father is the first soldier, the Ning Navy officers are also dedicated to serving the country, bravely moving forward, death does not spin, the army is like a bamboo, Jiannu retreated in embarrassment, in the battle, Ning Navy officers and soldiers burned Jiannu grain and grass......"

"Because the snow was very thick at that time, Jiannu's war horses couldn't run in the snow, and the officers and men of the Ning Navy were not afraid of hardships and fought bravely to kill the enemy, Jiannu had no grain and grass, and ten percent of the combat power could not be exerted three percent, so countless people were killed......

Under the eloquent narration of Cheng Hu, a witness to Haizhou's victory, the ministers listened to him and basically understood what was going on.

In this battle, the element of luck is very large.

If it weren't for Jiannu's faint move and forced the Nalashi Huerqi to rebel, Cheng Shijie probably wouldn't have known in advance that Jiannu was coming, let alone prepared in advance, and the outcome was unpredictable under the hasty battle.

If it weren't for the heavy snowfall at that time, the snow limited the mobility of the Jiannu cavalry, and the outcome would have been unpredictable.

If it weren't for the luck of the Ning Navy, when he attacked at night, he burned the grain and grass of Jiannu, and the outcome would be equally unpredictable.

If it weren't for the fact that Jiannu was tired and hungry, ten percent of his combat effectiveness would not be able to exert himself, and it would be difficult for Ninghai to win.

Anyway, there aren't that many ifs.

The ministers were a little jealous of Cheng Shijie's good luck, but they also knew that luck was also a kind of strength.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty......"

"God bless the Ming!"

Emperor Chongzhen's face was red all the way to his neck, and with a wave of his big hand, he let out a loud roar: "Good kill, good kill!" I've finally breathed a bad breath for me, hahaha......"

Chongzhen said that when he was excited, the young man who had never had a real smile on his face since he ascended the throne jumped up and laughed loudly, his expression was a little crazy.

"Congratulations to Elder Xu Ge!"

In the eyes of the courtiers, Cheng Shijie is Sun Yuanhua's person, and Sun Yuanhua is Xu Guangqi's student, so Cheng Shijie is also Xu Guangqi's person.

Zheng Yiwei, the current head of the cabinet, also breathed a sigh of relief, the Ning Navy beheaded 4,000, plus the Han army beheaded 10,000 levels, this is real, there is no good news mixed with water, and it is also the biggest victory of the Ming Dynasty since the Battle of Salhu.

Zheng Yiwei also felt a little relieved, this time Jiannu was really beaten to the bone, it should be stopped for a few years, right? He, the first assistant, can also be a little more relaxed.

However, this thought passed by and a sense of crisis came over like a dark cloud in June. He hasn't forgotten that Cheng Shijie is Xu Guangqi's person, and with this great achievement, Xu Guangqi is qualified to win the throne of the first assistant!

Zheng Yiwei felt a great crisis.

The battle of the breach has always been a heart problem of Emperor Chongzhen, and he dreamed that the Ming army outside the gate could win a big battle and wash away this shame.

The Battle of the Daling River was hastily launched against this background.

Chongzhen thought that when the Jieli Khan of the Eastern Turks led 200,000 iron cavalry to the city of Chang'an, Li Shimin had to pinch his nose and sign an alliance with Jieli Khan, but three years later, Li Jing 3,000 Tang cavalry, night attack on Yinshan, captured Jieli Khan to Chang'an, and danced for Li Shimin.

It's a pity that Daming is not the Tang Dynasty, and Daming does not have Li Jing, let alone the elite of the Tang Army with one enemy and ten.

Emperor Chongzhen did not expect the battle of Daling River to give him a shame, but on his face, he slapped him again, before and after, Da Ming lost more than 60,000 foot horses in the battle of Daling River, and spent millions of taels of silver.

It seems that God also thinks that he has been tossed too badly, and it is time to compensate a little, and he actually let the Ning Navy Army achieve a huge victory in Haizhou, in this incredible place!

Whenever he thought of this, Emperor Chongzhen's heart blossomed, and his smile could no longer be hidden.

The civil and military officials knelt down in unison, and their voices were loud, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood: "Congratulations for the saint, congratulations for Daming!" Long live our emperor! ”

However, after the excitement, Emperor Chongzhen was a little worried at this time.

How should the meritorious officers of the Ning Navy be rewarded?

According to the military regulations of the Ming Dynasty, each ordinary Jiannu is fifty taels of silver, which is 202,800 taels, a Niu Lu is really a hundred taels of head, and a white armor soldier is 1,000 taels.

In the good news of the Ning Navy, they showed that they had captured 67 white-armored soldiers and ironclads, which meant that this was 67,000 taels of silver, and Niu Lu really had more than 20 people, which was more than 2,000 taels of silver.

Overall, the reward of the first rank of the Guangning Navy will cost more than 300,000 taels.

In addition, how does Cheng Shijie reward?

He is now the governor of Zuodu, the general of the conquest, the chief soldier of the Ning Navy, and the control of the Dongjiang Army, as a military general, he has actually reached the top.

Even Zu Dashou is at this level.

……

Not only Emperor Chongzhen is having a headache, but Cheng Shijie is also having a headache.

The Ning Navy has obtained such great military exploits, and the first rank of Jiannu has been found 4,679, and the Han army has 5,704, a total of 10,383 heads.

But the question is, can this be counted as the combat exploits of the officers and men of the Ning Navy?

If it is counted, it is unfair to the soldiers who have made meritorious contributions before, and if it is not counted, I am afraid that these officers and men of the Ning Navy are unwilling......

"Everybody talk about it, what should I do?"

Zhou Yandong raised his hand and said, "Report!" ”

"Lao Zhou, you say!"

"Can't count!"

Zhou Yandong groaned: "However, you should give your brothers a little reward. ”

"What a reward!"

"Reward some silver, or give land!"

Shen Mingyu said: "Our Ning Navy's military rank field, although our generals have military rank fields, but ordinary soldiers do not, it is better to be merciful and give them ......"

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Yes, anyway, we have a big territory now, and there is a lot of land, so let's do it, the Military Affairs Bureau issued a whole army announcement, telling all the soldiers that our Ning Navy won a big victory in this battle, and the soldiers of the whole army are divided into fifty acres of military field, and they only have the right to use this military field, they have no right to inherit, and they have no right to buy and sell, and they also have to pay taxes, and the tax will be raised by five buckets per mu." Once discharged from the army, this military field must also be recovered. ”

"Five liters, isn't it too little!"

"It's a lot, fifty acres of land, that's two stones and five buckets!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

"That's great!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "That marshal will reward the soldiers of the whole army with five taels of silver, and there is one more thing that needs to be explained to the soldiers. Our Ninghai officers, although they say that they have a military salary every month, but this marshal has never paid it to everyone, and this military salary is probably a joke in the hearts of the brothers. But the problem is that it is also very troublesome to pay military salaries, so Ben Shuai thought of a way! ”

As he spoke, Cheng Shijie waved his hand, and two Ning Navy attendants came in with a large box. Cheng Shijie opened the box and took out a booklet from it, this booklet is very beautifully made, different from the bankbook of later generations, this passbook, the outer skin is a piece of hardwood, pasted with silk. Four bronzing words are printed on the front: "Liaonan Bank!" ”

The first page was opened, and the name of the person holding the passbook was printed in printed font, and it read: "Shen Mingyu! ”

Cheng Shijie handed this deposit book to Shen Mingyu: "This is your deposit book, your military salary, all in it, you can withdraw it at any time in the Liaonan Bank of Jinzhou City!" ”

"Mine!"

Shen Mingyu held the silver fold, this passbook has a total of twenty pages, and the paper on each page is obviously different from ordinary rice paper, thicker, and the feel is different.

This is the technology that Cheng Shijie brought from later generations, which is cotton paper made of bark fibers, its color is white, soft and tough, and the fibers are slender like cotton, so it is called cotton paper.

After the Ning Navy arrived in southern Liaoning, it began to experiment, and it took more than two months to successfully manufacture it, which was used as a separate passbook special paper, which can be printed with an embossed plate.

Shen Mingyu picked up a note glued to the second page and asked suspiciously, "What is this?" ”

Cheng Shijie explained: "This is the password, you can only withdraw money with the passbook to the bank, it is useless to have a passbook alone, there must be a corresponding password, this password has an expiration date, starting today, within fifteen days, you can withdraw money or save money with this password, if it exceeds fifteen days, a new password will be issued, and this password will be automatically invalidated!" ”

Shen Mingyu held the passbook, as if he understood: "Our Ning Navy's military salary doesn't go through the hands of generals at all levels?" ”

"You still want to get some out of it?"

Zhang Yu immediately said: "Dashuai, this method is very wonderful!" ”

"How's that?"

"Wonderful is wonderful!"

"You are a mallet, you can't pat yourself on the back!"

Cheng Shijie then handed out the passbooks of the generals one by one.

Although Cheng Shijie kept saying that he would wait for Huanglong to come to southern Liaoning and then deal with the issue of the officers and soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, the problem was that despite this, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army also got their own passbooks.

Haizhou Acropolis northwest Wangtai Town Fort, Dongjiang Army temporary barracks.

Hundreds of soldiers surrounded the bulletin board in the large camp, and since most of the soldiers were illiterate, they could only listen to the bulletin, not read it.

"Sun Xiucai, tell me what is written on it!"

Sun Xiucai is not a real Xiucai, he is actually a businessman's son-in-law, because he can read and write, count and draw, he is called Xiucai.

Xiucai is a nickname, like many experts in later generations, experts are just their nicknames, not representative of their true level.

Sun Xiucai said: "This is an order issued by the General Military Office, and the marshal said that he will give all our brothers fields, and each of them will have fifty acres of military fields!" ”

"We have ...... too"

"Yes, there are all, fifty acres for ordinary soldiers, sixty acres for captains, eighty acres for sentry commanders, one hundred acres for a total of one hundred, two hundred acres for a total of two hundred acres, and a total of three hundred acres for a thousand people, all of which are commanded by five hundred acres."

"Okay, great, we have land too!"

"Now that we have land, can we take my wife over?"

"Not only the old lady, but also the daughter-in-law can take it!"

"Don't you want a daughter-in-law??"

"I don't want to!"

These soldiers of the Dongjiang Army have been in southern Liaoning for almost three months, and they almost unanimously say that they don't want a daughter-in-law, in fact, many soldiers of the Dongjiang Army have daughters-in-law, which is different from Ning Haijun.

Because in the Dongjiang Army, soldiers are their highest income, even if they do not have military salaries, they can fight, and the captured materials and property can be shared.

Even if you really miss your daughter-in-law, you can't say that you miss your daughter-in-law, but you want your children. This habit is actually the same in later generations, because of the habits of the Chinese. No matter how much you want to love it, you won't say it lightly.

This is diametrically opposed to foreigners, they say that love is as simple as farting, and as a result, countless women have been tricked.

"Chen Erniu!"

"Here!"

"Here's your passbook!"

"What is a passbook?"

"It can be used to receive silver!"

The officers of the Dongjiang Army were also quite simple and crude in their explanations.

Mr. Bai, who was holding a stack of passbooks, said: "Cheng Dashuai said, in the future, our military salary will not be paid directly, but let the big guy take this thing to the bank to get it!" ”

"So troublesome!"

"This is because I am worried that you will carry the silver and die cheaply!"

In this world, there is never a shortage of smart people.

Some people saw through Cheng Shijie's true intentions at a glance.

"It's good for you not to send money directly, the silver is weighed, a little higher, a little lower, and it is you who suffer ......"

"Where do I get the money?"

"Golden State!"

"So far!"

"It is said that the banks in Haizhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou will take more than a month to be built, and they can also receive money directly in Haizhou in the future!"

"This is the password, you remember it, don't tell others, others have your passbook, with your password, you can take away your silver, if you don't know the password, then you can't take your silver!"

"Now we don't have a fake, we can't go out of the camp, how can we get the silver!"

"It's better not to take it!"

"Why, there's interest!"

"The bank pays us back the interest?"

"Of course, if you save one tael of silver for a year, you can have five cents, and ten taels of silver for a year is five cents......"

"This is good!"

……

Huang Long received a letter from Cheng Shijie to him, knowing that the Dongjiang Army had launched a mutiny in southern Liaoning, and collectively wanted to surrender to the Ning Navy and take refuge in Cheng Shijie, at first, Huang Long was very anxious.

However, as the battleship sailed towards Arthur, he slowly calmed down.

Because he has already understood, since the moment the 26,000 people arrived in southern Liaoning, they have been surnamed Cheng and no longer belong to the Dongjiang Army.

"Huang Shuai, my brother who is still worried about Liaonan!"

Shang Kexi was a little uncertain.

"That's not our Dongjiang Army's brother anymore!"

Huang Long smiled bitterly: "Brothers, that's right, who doesn't want to live a good life, the imperial court doesn't care about our Dongjiang Army, and Ben Shuai is not as good at making money as Cheng Shuai!" ”

"This ......"

Shang Kexi said: "We have Tamna Island, and the days will get better and better!" ”

"Even if it's a daughter, it's not too much to receive a dowry, right?"

"Not too much!"

Shang Kexi smiled and said: "Cheng Shuai asked for 26,000 people from our Dongjiang Army, as well as hundreds of thousands of people, how can he pay some benefits!" ”

"That handsome lion opened his mouth and slaughtered Cheng Shuai fiercely!"

Huanglong did not dock directly at Port Arthur, but went north along Liaodong Bay and landed at Haizhou Port.

In later generations, there was no coastal area in Haicheng, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Haizhou could be regarded as coastal. Due to the shallow draft of sailing ships, even if it is a large warship, the draft is only eight or nine feet, and the draft of a thousand-ton giant ship like the Guangfu ship is only a little more than a zhang, three or four meters deep.

Therefore, it is very easy to set up ports along the coast.

At present, in southern Liaoning, in addition to Lushun Port, only on the west coast of Liaodong Bay, Lushun South Port, Lushun North Port, Jinzhou South Port, Jinzhou North Port, Gaizhou South Port, Gaizhou North Port, Haizhou Port, a total of seven ports.

At this time, Liaonan Haizhou is simply a huge construction site, and there are all kinds of fortifications everywhere, and the fortifications here are a trench, a breastwork, and each trench should be at least two meters wide, one meter and five deep, and the trenches are tortuous.

In fact, Cheng Shijie's ideal defense system is barbed wire and trenches, but the problem is that there is no way to make iron wire in large quantities now, but can only replace it with a breastwork.

At the time of the fall of the Yellow Dragon, Cheng Shijie was inspecting his masterpiece, and he was quite satisfied with the defensive system of trenches, breastworks, and mines.

After the actual combat test of the Battle of Jinshi Mountain, Jiannu did not have a very good way to take this kind of trench.

"Meet Huang Shuai!"

When Huang Long strode over, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army bowed their heads, not daring to look directly into Huang Long's eyes, in fact, they thought too much, Huang Long now only wanted to get something affordable from Cheng Shijie, but did not want to return these soldiers.

What can we do to get back to these dissenting soldiers?

Go back and let them mutiny again?

Huang Long had tried the mutiny of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army, his nose was gone, his ears were gone, and his buttocks were cut off two catties of flesh.

He didn't want this kind of unfamiliar soldier.

Even if Cheng Shijie gave it to him, he didn't want it, he would rather ask for some equipment and supplies.

Cheng Shijie inspected and praised with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, Ben Shuai wants to see how Jiannu will break the formation in the future!" ”

Huang Long looked at Cheng Shijie with a smug face in disbelief, with his eyes, he could see dozens of flaws! He asked a little tactfully: "Cheng Shuai, are you like this...... Isn't it ......"

"Isn't it? Don't grind, have something to say! ”

Huang Long looked at Cheng Shijie with an impatient expression, and said straight to the point: "Cheng Shuai, although you have laid a lot of trenches, if Jiannu is willing to pay a certain price, he can still break through this formation." Once they had made it through, the weak earthen wall would not be able to withstand their iron horsemen! ”

Then, Huang Long pointed to the criss-crossing trenches again: "You have dug too many trenches, and the entire position has been dug up, once Jiannu breaks through the breastwork and kills in, our army has no way to meet the enemy in formation, and can only be trapped in the trenches and let the enemy slaughter!" ”

Cheng Shijie originally wanted to explain this trench warfare to Huanglong, but what he thought of was that the equipment of the Dongjiang Army was too poor, and the only well-equipped unit was surnamed Cheng.

The Dongjiang Army was poorly equipped and poorly trained, and there was no way to open up a position with Jiannu and fight head-on. The best thing for them is to play to their strengths, be flexible and mobile, and fight guerrilla warfare with Jiannu.

"Huang Shuai came just in time, we are so lucky this time!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to a huge Jingguan in the distance, and Huang Long realized that this huge gray-white mound was actually built out of corpses.

Because Cheng Shijie used lime to suck up the blood and water in the corpses first, these corpses became dried corpses, which did not emit a foul smell and had no way to breed bacteria.

What's more, the corpses of these Jiannu have all been found naked, and their heads are naturally gone, and now the Ning Navy has sent the captured Jiannu heads to the capital and asked the military department to inspect the military merits.

Cheng Shijie naturally did not tell Huang Long that these Jiannu were frozen to death, and Ning Haijun did not spend a single soldier, a gun or a sword, but according to Cheng Hu's words, now Cheng Shijie has received an order from Emperor Chongzhen, asking him to go to the capital to face the saint on a certain day.

The purpose of the above statement is also to avoid gangsters.

When Cheng Shijie talked about Hu Erqi, Huang Long was faintly familiar, and he subconsciously said: "I remember that there is a general in the Dongjiang Army named Hu Erqi, and he actually ...... Homonymous. ”

Cheng Shijie forced a smile: "Yes, the same name." Ben Shuai told you that Ben Shuai led the army to charge repeatedly, and Jiannu was not able to form an army, it is a pity, more than 10,000 horses, all dead, Ben Shuai has already told his brothers, steady point fight, I didn't expect Ning Haijun to be full of firepower, and Jiannu urined on the spot...... Huang Shuai, you came just in time, Ben Shuai gave 20,000 catties of horse meat, so that you can take it to the brothers of the Dongjiang Army to fight for the tooth sacrifice! ”

"How embarrassing is this......

"Don't be embarrassed!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "The Dongjiang Army lacks equipment, and Ben Shuai also knows it, so let's do it, Ben Shuai will transfer you 1,000 pairs of iron armor, 1,200 pairs of leather armor, 800 sabers, and 2,000 spears......

"This ......"

Huang Long immediately changed his words and said, "That's ...... Thank you Cheng Shuai! ”

But now, Huang Long is also very embarrassed, Cheng Shijie is so generous, he still wants to blackmail Cheng Shijie and be a villain in vain.

Cheng Shijie sent more than 2,000 sets of armor to the Dongjiang Army, but in fact, they were all tattered, especially the iron armor, and Cheng Shijie did not lack this thing.

Because of the improvement of metallurgical technology, the Ning Navy is equipped with steel armor, and with the same weight, the defense capability of iron armor is less than half of that of steel armor.

It's like two millimeters thick iron sheets, not to mention using them, sharpening a chopstick, you can also poke a hole, a two-millimeter steel plate, you poke it with chopsticks, and the chopsticks will definitely break at once.

If it is recast, it can naturally improve the quality of the armor, but the problem is, is it a pure waste, isn't it? Even an ordinary ironclad defense is not weak.

As for spears, sabers, and cowhide armor, Cheng Shijie can't look at these things.

If Ning Haijun's factories in southern Liaoning are all completed and productivity is raised, there will not be much in the hands of Jiannu worthy of Cheng Shijie's attention.

Huang Long came in a hurry and walked quickly, he did not return empty-handed, but took with him 1,000 pairs of iron armor, 1,200 pairs of cowhide armor, 40 pairs of heavy armor of white armor soldiers, 3,000 bows and arrows, more than 90,000 sharp arrows, 2,000 spears, more than 20,000 catties of horse meat, and 600 stones of salt.

Huang Long mentioned the matter of the 26,000 Dongjiang Army soldiers in southern Liaoning, and Cheng Shijie did not mention it, in fact, Cheng Shijie had already begun to formally reorganize these Dongjiang Army soldiers.

He took the lead in selecting 2,500 soldiers from the 26,000 soldiers of the Dongjiang Army and added them to the left and right divisions of the Ning Navy, making the left and right divisions a total of 6,800 men.

More than 800 soldiers who were good at reconnaissance were selected from among the Dongjiang Army to form a reconnaissance bureau directly under the Ninghai Navy Army, which was responsible for reconnaissance and infiltration of the Jiannu movement in the direction of Shenyang.

Of course, they also need to undergo rigorous training.

More than 500 soldiers who could ride horses were drawn from the Dongjiang Army to expand the cavalry battalion of the Ning Navy, and the cavalry of the Ning Navy officially exceeded 2,500 men and horses at this time.

Finally, the garrison of the Ning Navy, the Haizhou Fuzhou Defense Line, was increased from the original plan of twelve castles to five, a total of seventeen castles, and seventeen garrison bureaus were set up, with a total of 12,750 people.

At this time, there were still more than 9,400 people left in the Dongjiang Army, and these people were all young and strong, although their physical fitness was poor, and a baggage force of more than 6,000 people was formed, and the remaining 3,000 or so soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were reorganized into 100 households.

At this point, the riot work of the Ning Navy was officially completed.

As for the number of troops in the Ning Navy, Cheng Shijie did not consider it, and the Ning Navy did not care.
