Chapter 46. There are many demons in troubled times

Everything made Mao Jue feel weird.

There is indeed a war ahead, and today's Liaodong is quite similar to the Warring States Period, with large-scale wars and low-intensity small-scale wars going hand in hand, and there are refugees fleeing to Tieshan City every day.

But this is the third day of Iron Mountain, except for soaking in the pile of old papers every day, to receive how many soldiers in Tieshan Town, how many Tuntian Grange, he has not been in contact with the war at all, and the six Iron Mountain generals also came to greet him on the first day, and then there is no shadow, to this day, what the war is like, he, the Iron Mountain general, actually knows nothing, the current situation, is really too grotesque.

"The little one is waiting to meet the general!"

Early in the morning, more than 60 soldiers knelt neatly at the yamen, not wanting to alarm Mao Jue, Wen Meng ordered to drive away, but these guys couldn't get rid of it, and the shouting startled Mao Jue out.

Listening to the neat kneeling sound, Mao Jue was also confused, and asked in amazement.

"Which unit are you from, and why did you gather to block the general's yamen?"

"Back to the general, the small one is Liu Chong, the general of Tieshan, who is a hundred households, and asks the general to take him in!"

Tieshan General Standard Battalion, nominally his own direct troops, yesterday Mao Jue also sent a huge sea to inspect the army, and this one made Mao Jue even more confused.

It seems that everyone understands people, but they are kept in the dark, this kind of taste can make people uncomfortable, and today such a farce was performed, which really annoyed Mao Jue, and threw the roster he was still holding on the ground, and he waved his sleeves angrily and scolded.

"Tieshan is the Iron Mountain under the command of the general, and you are also the soldiers under the command of the general, one by one, they don't want to kill the enemy to serve the country and defend the township party, and they are grandstanding here, all of them are for Lao Tzu!"

"Shogun ......"

"Get out! Don't get involved in military law again!"

"Oh yo, you are angry!"

Seeing that Mao Jue was really angry, he brushed his sleeves away, and Leng Buding rushed out a big fat man next to him, hurriedly grabbed Mao Jue's sleeves, and waved his fat hands to press down on the restless soldiers below.

"Everyone, don't be impatient, don't be impatient, this will, this will explain to Xiao Mao Shuaiye!"

…………

The staff will be a warrior, behind the yamen is the school field, dozens of war horses' hooves raised the sky full of smoke and dust, the heavily armored knights roared and dragged the knife to charge, the scarecrow heads set up along the way were like ripe watermelons, they fell one after another, the other end, holding bows and arrows, more than forty fierce soldiers shouted and pulled the strings, the bowstrings were buzzing, and the grass targets a hundred steps away were full of feather arrows, and none of them missed the target.

There are also Hebei big guns, shields lying knives, two-handed knives, every drill is a tiger and a tiger, and these people are basically veterans who have been in the army for more than ten years or even decades, and there is basically no recruit syndrome that pees pants on the battlefield and affects the play, and the martial arts drill for a morning, and finally looked at Liu Chong and others and lined up neatly, although there is a punishment component of the performance, this discipline still makes Mao Jue nodded slightly with satisfaction.

Who said that the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and cannot be defeated by 10,000? The Han people are sure that they can't defeat the Jurchens, everything is just an excuse for laziness and corruption, as long as the military salary and silver are in place, the Ming army can also compete with the Jurchens, or even better!

"Okay, in the future, you will be Lao Tzu's personal soldiers, as long as you are loyal to Lao Tzu, you should work hard when you should work hard, Lao Tzu's full food and salary will never be short of yours, make meritorious deeds, cut off the head, and Lao Tzu will never hesitate to reward!"

"Xie Jiangye!"

Encouraged by Su Changmei, he came over this morning and knelt at the door of the general's yamen, just for the identity of this pro-soldier, and now he has fulfilled his expectations, Liu Chong and other 60 or so pro-soldiers of the former general standard battalion were also overjoyed, and they knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank them for their kindness, and swore ruthlessly.

"The little ones will be of one heart and one mind with the generals, the sword mountain and the sea of fire, you will give an order, and the little ones will never frown! If you break your oath, you will be slashed by a thousand knives and pierced by thousands of arrows, and you will not be able to die!"

"Get up!"

"Yes!"

…………

Mao Jue's pro-corps has more than 60 more soldiers, and they are also veterans who survived Ding Mao's chaos, for most of the pro-corps composed of honest recruits, the combat effectiveness is definitely an extraordinary improvement.

can settle them, but Mao Jue did not become happy, but his face was gloomy, making Su Changmei and Wen Meng, who had just made a contribution, and the huge sea were confused, waiting behind anxiously. After returning to the general's yamen for a while, he didn't know how many circles he circled around the general's chair, and suddenly made up his mind, Mao Jue took out a few arrows and threw them on the ground.

"Spread Lao Tzu's general order, ordered the garrison Zhao Cheng, the guerrilla general Tian Tao, the capital secretary He Bao, and Zhao Yong, the general of the thousand, immediately came to the general yamen to see Lao Tzu and discuss the strategy of resisting the enemy!"

"Xiao Mao Shuai, are you sure?"

Her feet softened, and the fat version of Su Changmei hugged her fists in shock, but she saw Mao Jue tilting her head and snorting.

"Lao Tzu doesn't want to become the second Liu Heita!"

This time, Mao Jue was taught another lesson, which gave him a deeper understanding of the complexity of the Ming army in this era, that is, the enemy is not necessarily riding a tall Liao horse, and the Jurchen barbarians who bend their bows and shoot arrows and slash and charge may also be their comrades who also wear the uniforms of the Ming army.

Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town was not recruited by him one by one, but in the process of the fall of Liaodong, the left pulled one and the right swallowed one, which inevitably left various small hills in the army, and the situation on Phi Island was not bad, but there were still several forces such as Shen Shikui, Mao Youde, and Chen Jisheng, and the Tieshan Town across the sea was even more so.

More than 5,000 soldiers and horses, but also torn into six forces, including the garrison Zhao Cheng, thousands of households Zhao Yong is the former Kaiyuan local clan, under the clan Ding and Zhuang Hu formed a war camp of more than 1,500 horses, can be regarded as the first force in Tieshan Town, and the relationship between the same clan and the party makes this army very strong in combat, his town guard boundary is located in the south of the Tieshan Peninsula, Mao Jue passed by the Tuntian Manor on the way to his command.

There is also the guerrilla general Tian Tao, he was a guerrilla general before the Liaodong Revolution, and he also had an old army of more than 1,300 people under his hands, with more than 300 personal soldiers, and his combat effectiveness was not weak.

As for the Dusi He Bun and the other two thousand generals, their strength is undoubtedly much weaker than these two, and the jurisdiction is also located in the north, which is also suffering losses.

There are so many forces, but the most embarrassing thing is the former Tieshan general Liu Heita who has just returned to his hometown, he has only seven hundred standard battalions under his hands, and he is still mostly old and weak, according to the strength standard of the Ming army, seeing that he can only have more than 60 personal soldiers to join Mao Jue, you can see how weak his strength is, if he changes to a strong leader, Nurhachi is also relying on thirteen pairs of armor to make a little bit bigger. But the old guy's blood and courage during the Korean War have all been consumed by the years, and he is willing to stay in this Tieshan City, eating a few leftovers from a few families as an official hat.

The united Mongols can conquer the world, and the divided Ming people can also become pieces of meat on the chopping board for slaughter, and there is a particularly deep contradiction between the guerrilla general Tian Tao and the garrison Zhao Cheng on weekdays, and the contradictions of interests!

Taking advantage of the convenience of being close to the sea and Phi Island, the Zhao family's biggest financial route is to smuggle ginseng and deer antler velvet and sell mink medicinal materials into the Ming Dynasty, but if you want to obtain the source of goods in Liaodong, you have to pass through Tian Tao's garrison, seeing that the Zhao family made a lot of money in a muffled voice, Tian Tao was naturally unwilling, and secretly blackmailed the Zhao family or the Jiannu of the transit transaction, and plundered the Zhao family's goods.

Normally, this fragile relationship could be maintained until the late summer and early autumn invasion of Jiannu.

I don't know why this time, in previous years, there were only three or four hundred stragglers harassed from Uiju, but this year it suddenly increased to more than three thousand, and the Jianju soldiers in the unit of Niulu invaded the town of Tieshan and the Korean kingdom further south like locusts, and along the way broke and burned the tuntian villages of the Ming army and the Koreans, looted wheat to feed the horses, plundered the population and returned to slavery, and turned the northern part of the peninsula into a hell.

More than 300 people can still deal with it, more than 3,000 Tian Tao also had to pee his pants, plus there is this Zhao family behind him who not only does not work but does not contribute, but also ventilates to Jiannu to report the good news, he does not dare to fight at all, and discards his Tuntian Manor and even the people all the way, and retreats south to Tieshan City.

As for He Manyu and the other two thousand households, they were similar, no one dared to engage with Jiannu and lose their troops, and was finally annexed by the Zhao family, and the territory was still south of Tieshan City, and Zhao Cheng was also happy to watch the excitement weaken the power of several robbers in the north.

In such a complex contradiction, the Tuntian Manor in the north of Tieshan became a victim, more than three-fifths of the Tieshan Tuntian were either burned or in the countdown to be burned, more than 5,000 Ming troops cowered in Tieshan City and looked at less than 3,000, and maybe even more than 1,000 Jiannu raged their own defense areas, doing nothing.

As for Liu Heita, he didn't dare to meddle in it at all, and it was no wonder that when Mao Jue came, this old man was like an old bastard with a rocket on his ass, and fled for his life with some cronies and the family wealth he had collected over the years.

These bends and bends Mao Jue rose too fast, there is no way to know, as for Wen Meng, the huge sea is also given in vain, but I didn't expect that Su Changmei, who is not fat, will work wonders in this, and it took a few days to figure out the bends and bends that were abandoned by Liu Heta, and the remaining staff generals were introduced to Mao Jue as a gift.

It can be regarded as the reason why Mao Wenlong sent himself over, Yuan Chonghuan praised himself for being good at management, Mao Wenlong wanted to clean up the mess left by the Jiannu after the looting, and he didn't hope that Mao Jue would be able to beat the Jiannu into anything.

But if you don't know, if you know, you still have to watch it like a shrunken turtle, then he is not Mao Jue!

The soldiers hurriedly rushed out of the yamen to give orders, and Mao Jue, who was wearing deerskin gloves, still clenched his fists and gurgled.

"A few bastards!"
