Chapter Ninety-Six. Mercenary Mao Jue

Mao Jue almost didn't make a sound.

Last time, Jin Zidian was not like this, he was arrogant, his chest was straight, his eyes were almost facing the sky, and he had a full civil official face, looking down on martial artists like Mao Wenlong and Mao Jue. This time it's good, the old guy seems to be several years older, his hair is gray, and the wrinkles on his head are dense, and this guy is five or six years older than Mao Wenlong, but he is an old brother, and he almost knelt down when he was three or four low, and he completely changed his appearance.

And as soon as he saw Mao Jue come in, the old guy actually squeezed out a smiling face and took the initiative to say hello.

"General Xiao Mao."

"Lord Jin, it's not that the governor doesn't help you, after all, the governor is the general of the Ming Dynasty, these days, the commander of the military situation in Liaodong is strictly ordering the towns to be systematic, and there is really no way to send troops to help you!"

Over there, Mao Wenlong also looked sad, sighing and spreading his hands, looking helpless.

"Otherwise, Lord Jin, you will write to your majesty again, as long as the transfer order of the military department arrives, we Lao Mao will personally carry a knife for you to take the lead!"

Mao Wenlong is talking nonsense, Li Chao to Beijing, even if it is urgent, it will take eight to fifteen days, and it will be even fuller when he comes back, even if Emperor Chongzhen really takes his own soldiers and horses to die, and the dog takes the mouse to order Mao Wenlong to send troops to support it, it will take a month later, and Mao Wenlong will have to transfer troops from the Dongjiang River to the south of the peninsula for a month.

Now Mao Jue, the fake son, is also getting more and more into the role, don't look at the old guy's smiling face, Mao Jue didn't give him a good face, and hummed weirdly on the side.

"And Lord Kim! The main force of Jiannu, the soldiers of the Gui Dynasty were all broken by ten, and 10,000 were beheaded! Since the establishment of Dongjiang Town, I have not had this record, isn't it just some small widows? The Gui Dynasty brought 100,000 armor, and it was not easy to solve it, but why do you want me Dongjiang to do more? ”

This cynicism, if it had been a civil official of the Ming Dynasty, he would have gone away a long time ago, but Mao Jue underestimated Jin Zidian, the old guy can go from the messy party struggle of the easterners, westerners, southerners, northerners, bones and flesh party to now, his face has long been inappropriate, even if he was ridiculed by Mao Jue's juniors, the old guy still has a smiling face, and he smiled bitterly.

"These are all boasts! Otherwise, the old decay is also the official position is not guaranteed, and the old decay is not there, who can do his best to collect Mao rice and supply the Dongjiang army? General Xiaomao, do you say yes? ”

Mao Jue doesn't know what happened to the chaos in Jiangyuan Province, but he admires this Jin Zidian's cheekiness now, the meaning of his being an official seems to be all for Dongjiang, Mao Jue himself doesn't know what to take for a while, Mao Wenlong is also an old fritter, in terms of shamelessness, it is only a little worse than Jin Zidian, and the old guy's head is still shaking like a rattle.

"Anyway, Lord Jin, my town has just experienced a big war, and the soldiers are already exhausted, and there is no military order from the imperial court, and the Japanese are still fierce, even if they are the governor, there is really no way to drive them to fight hard!"

"Just two thousand riders! Lord Mao, two thousand rides are enough!"

"The cavalry has already pursued the remnants of Jiannu to the Iron Mountain, Lord Jin, the old man really can't draw soldiers and horses!"

Facing Jin Zidian's extremely disappointed old face, Mao Wenlong finally changed his tone at this time.

"However, the dog Mao Jue Department basically didn't have much war this time, so Lord Jin might as well ask him."

Is this still a father? Sold his son as soon as he changed hands! Mao Jue almost didn't squirt out, seeing that the old guy turned around with a smiling face again, Mao Jue hurriedly looked like a bitter gourd face, and waved his hand sadly.

"Lord Jin, I'm in Yiju right under Jiannu's nose, in case Jiannu gets angry and moves troops south this time, I'm the first barrier of the Korean Kingdom! The last general really can't draw troops and horses! ”

"Doesn't General Xiao Mao like boats? I'll build a plan for Bing Cao's warship, and let General Xiao Mao call it!"

Lao Jin is really a businessman, so he directly opened the conditions, but unfortunately, Mao Jue, the battleship of the Korean Kingdom, really didn't take a fancy to it, and still shook his head uncompromisingly.

"Lord Kim, Yiju really can't draw troops and horses......"

"The old man will requisition another 10,000 conscripts to build warships for General Xiao Mao, and the township soldiers of Nanhai Province will all be killed in battle and removed from the household register!"

Mao Jue's heart was finally moved when he said this, it was still Grandpa Mao's words, 10,000 years is too long, just seize the day! In the great changes in Liaodong, Mao Jue didn't dare to waste every minute and every second, not to mention that now he needs a fleet to run south of the Yangtze River to earn him silver, and he also needs a fleet to go to the ocean to fish and replenish military food protein, and in case the Ming Dynasty dies in the future, another fleet, he can also flee south and occupy a Southeast Asian island country to escape the disaster, why Zheng Chenggong can maintain the regime in the Taiwan Strait for so long, isn't it because the Zheng family fleet can roar and live the scene?

"Each soldier is paid five taels of silver a month, and two stones of military rations! Behead one level, reward thirty taels of silver!"

"Done!"

"In this operation, the command will belong to me Dongjiang!"

"Yes, too!"

This asking price is a bit of a lion's mouth, not to mention the Li Dynasty, Dongjiang can raise two or three cavalry at this price, and Mao Jue wants to command the Korean soldiers on the front line, who knows if he will use these soldiers and horses as cannon fodder? However, Jin Zidian is also a single, and he agreed to come down when he opened his mouth, and the price was negotiated, Mao Jue couldn't help but spit out a breath of turbidity, and finally nodded with a promise.

"My town sent eight hundred troops."

"This ......"

At such a big cost, eight hundred people are really a bit less, Jin Zidian couldn't help but show embarrassment on his face, but in an instant, Mao Jue accelerated his tone again.

"Eight hundred are all my own soldiers! When I took Yizhou, it was these 800 people!"

"Ben will personally command!"

Two sentences, every time he said a word, Jin Zidian's old face looked good, and in the end, the old guy simply gave it up.

"In this way, please ask General Xiao Mao!"

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, there are many generals in Liaodong, but there are only a few famous generals, recently Mao Jue is also relying on the battle of Yizhou, barely squeezed to the side, he himself sold himself to Jin Zidian to work, the old guy is not worried that he will not work, and a few words of greeting, Jin Zidian hurriedly resigned, he is also busy with military affairs, a bunch of bad things waiting to be dealt with.

As soon as Jin Zidian left, Mao Jue couldn't help but complain.

"Daddy! You just sold your son? ”

Brushing his beard and sitting on the big circle chair, listening to Mao Jue's complaints, the old man showed a smile on his face, and the next sentence frightened Mao Jue into a cold sweat on his back.

"I really feel like you're not the old man's son!"

Before Mao Jue could organize a language prevarication, the old guy stroked his long beard and shook his head with emotion.

"If in the past, with your kid's character, you still had to jump and shout at the old man to send troops to North Korea, for the Ming Dynasty or something, now you are finally a little scheming, grow up, and come out of those sour and rotten nonsense!"

"It's a troubled time now, if you want to survive, you must have scheming!"

Mao Jue's answer obviously made Mao Wenlong very satisfied, and he stood up again with the armrest, and pressed a slap on Mao Jue's shoulder.

"You are very good at business, Tieshan, Yizhou can get all the ways to catch money, and you can also make the group of Qiu Ba under your hands happy, and Yizhou also fought a good battle! But that's not enough! The prestige of the general is not earned by making money, but by fighting!"

"Your father and I attacked Zhenjiang in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and five hundred people fought in Gaizhou, and we have the status we have now, so that pure bastards like Shen Shikui and Liu Xingqi brothers bow down to obey orders, relying on ruthlessness!" In the entire Dongjiang Town, no one is more ruthless than your father!"

Mao Wenlong didn't brag at all, don't look at Mao Wenlong now seems to be quite old, like a good old man, when he was young, the white bones under his hands were estimated to be higher than this city wall, as rebellious as Shen Shikui, fierce as Kong Youde, scoundrel like Liu Xingqi, for Mao Wenlong's orders are not the slightest dare to disobey, a good old man can not do this step.

"This incident is also an opportunity for you, after all, Dongjiang is next to the Li Dynasty, and you want to provoke the big beam of Dongjiang Town, you will show your ruthlessness in front of these Goryeo people, so that they will admire you, fear you, and dare not make small moves in your back, they can only dedicate themselves to you tremblingly, you don't have to worry about Yizhou, the old man will show you!"

patting his chest, Mao Wenlong said loudly and heroically, and the confidence in his tone was completely different from the silence in his usual days.

Mao Wenlong said well, but Mao Jue disagreed, a good general is indeed with his subordinates to continue to win, but these two fathers and sons are now taking the road of warlords, as warlords, not only to win, but also to continue to bring benefits to their subordinates, so that there are men who lick blood from the edge of the knife are willing to work for you.

However, he didn't refute it, he got the benefits this time, and he didn't lose money by selling his life to Jin Zidian, so Mao Jue respectfully put his hand on his chest and bent over.

"Got it, Daddy!"

…………

The other Dongjiang Town troops retreated backwards, but Mao Jue's Tieshan pro-corps was assembled from the opposite direction, and three days later, eight hundred and twenty-one people and their men gathered in Xiongjin Port.

And this time, the equipment of the Tieshan army is even sharper, in addition to the tiger squat cannon that was equipped at the beginning, this time there are two more 2,000-pound Hongyi cannons, and the gun racks are exactly the same as those erected on the left and right front tooth forts, and the wheels are padded three times with thick cowhide, and they stand towering on the deck of the warships in Dongjiang Town.

In the past three days, Jin Zidian also gathered about 3,000 North Korean sailors, and he really couldn't wait, Mao Jue arrived and set off for the south almost immediately, and at ten o'clock at noon, more than 50 laughing warships marched south.

Mao Wenlong didn't come to see him off, maybe he was too relieved about his son, leaning on the towering arrow tower, rubbing a flintlock pistol, Mao Jue's mood was a little uncalm, he used to be on TV, watching how bloodthirsty and fierce the mercenaries in the movie were, killing people like hemp, how could he never imagine that when he arrived in this Ming Dynasty, he actually had a time when he was a mercenary, and he was also the head of the mercenary group.

The sleeve bayonet had been wiped off by the deerskin, and suddenly, the flintlock pistol was violently picked up by Mao Jue, and the cold light of the spear was pointed at, and a seagull flew from the mast in horror, hovering over the fleet, and did not dare to fall for a long time......
