Chapter 509: Expand Shang Kexi's strength

Chen Xin raised his eyebrows slightly, then returned to normal, and then made a look of amazement.

If you add all the old and the young, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in Dongjiang Town, and Mao Chengzuo, as Mao Wenlong's nephew, still has thousands of people under his command.

However, since Yuan Chonghuan cut off the military rations and salaries in Dongjiang Town, and parachuted a group of officers to seize power, there are only a few hundred people left under his command who can fight tough battles at most.

According to the usual style of the Ming army, this number of Ming troops can kill more than 50 Tartars, although it has only reached the level of militia in the Chinese system, but it is also qualified in the Ming army system.

However, Chen Xin estimated that most of the real Tartars among the beheaded people by Mao Chengzuo may be old, weak, sick and disabled, and the number of soldiers in the first armor, or to put it more harshly, will not be too much.

Mao Chengzuo probably thought that the results achieved in this raid were very good, so after finishing speaking, he became a little proud, but only a moment later, he realized that his state was very inappropriate, and he immediately changed to a respectful attitude and added.

"Although the minister killed more than 50 Tartars, it is really not worth mentioning compared to the number of more than 1,000 true Tartars killed by the main force of our army led by Lord Zachdan.

After hearing about the victory of Fuzhou on the island, the minister was happy all night without closing his eyes, and the next day, the minister immediately sent a boat to contact several other generals to come to Lushun to congratulate Lord Zachdan.

Of course, coming to pay respects to my uncle is also one of the important purposes of this trip. Speaking of this, every time the minister thought of what the king had done for his uncle, he felt five guilt and was excited.

The minister wants to thank the king for his high righteousness again, so that I and the old people of Dongjiang have a thought.

This Liaodong, Liaoxi, Liaonan, the Korean Peninsula, and even the entire Ming Dynasty, so many officials and generals who come and go, just the Huaxia army led by my family Mao Dashuai and the monarch, is the one who kills the Tartars with peace of mind, and the ministers sincerely obey.

Although the minister is still wearing the skin of the Ming army, but the bastards in the Ming Court definitely don't want to command us anymore. In the future, wherever the king points out, the minister will lead the troops to fight, and he will never frown. ”

Listening to Mao Chengzuo's chaotic and somewhat bastard words, Chen Xin laughed again. Although what Mao Chengzuo said was very rough and chaotic, he still understood the meaning of what he said.

Between his words, the resentment towards the Ming Dynasty officialdom and Chongzhen is really extremely strong. However, Chen Xin also understands this, Mao Wenlong is his own nephew and is very good to him.

Dongjiang Town is such a broken place, and he only has such a person closest to him, but his relatives were suddenly killed by Yuan Chonghuan inexplicably, no matter who it was, his heart was also full of anger.

He and Mao Wenlong's adopted son went the closest, Mao Wenlong became a general in one word, and after Mao Wenlong's death, most people changed back to their original surnames in order to avoid being implicated.

But under the influence of Mao Chengzuo himself, the officers under his command who were born in Mao Wenlong's son, as well as a series of people who were closest to him, have never changed back to their original surnames.

From here, you can also see the deep relationship between him, Mao Shuai's nephew and Mao Wenlong.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin turned his head again and looked to the side, Shang Kexi, whose name made him feel very familiar.

Shang Kexi is really a person, just like before, when even Mao Chengzuo himself didn't react, among so many people, only he Shang Kexi ran out alone and acted with a group of people.

Therefore, when he saw Chen Xin's gaze, he didn't need Chen Xin to speak, so he hurriedly said, "The last general led the team to break through three Houjin Tartar forts in a row, and also broke through a military fort garrisoned by the Eight Banners.

In this battle, more than 70 True Tartars were attacked and killed, among them, there were a total of 30 Jurchen Eight Banner armor soldiers, and the others were all young or old Tartars.

In addition, the last general also rescued more than 100 people from the breached forts, Han women, children, old and weak, attacked; More than 270 people.

It is also thanks to the main force led by Lord Zachdan that coerced Fuzhou City, making the Tartars in southern Liaoning defenses empty, so this time the raid was much smoother than in previous years. ”

Chen Xin narrowed his eyes, thinking to himself in his heart, Shang Kexi's answer was much more honest than what Mao Chengzuo said, and he even said it after distinguishing between the Tartar and the old and the weak.

From the first round of conversations between Chen Xin and the two people just now, he temporarily labeled Mao Chengzuo as a veteran oil.

However, judging from the original historical records before Chen Xin's crossing, in fact, Shang Kexi is indeed much more honest than Mao Chengzuo, at least, when Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng and others rebelled in Shandong, he did not go to Shandong with Mao Wenlong's adopted son to make a rebellion.

Judging from various records, most of the officers who were originally brought out by Mao Wenlong had a serious sense of distrust of the Ming court.

As Qiu Ba, who was born in Dongjiang Town, which was extremely unappreciated in the Ming Dynasty, once this extreme resentment broke out, there would be no room for maneuver with the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, at the end of the day, many soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town voted for the golden tartars after the great feud.

If Mao Chengzuo hadn't been captured by the Ming army in history, I'm afraid that this guy would have been very likely to throw himself into Houjin Tartar with Kong Youde and others.

Li Yongfang and others, who were the first to take refuge in the Houjin Tartars in history, received preferential treatment from the Tartars, and in the hands of Huang Taiji, there were examples of Kong Youde and others.

So, after falling out with Daming and having no way out, Shang Kexi and others in the back will be willing to take refuge in the enemy.

Now, Chen Xin has crossed over, and in seven or eight years, he has built a powerful army, and he will definitely not let Dongjiang Town fall apart as it has in history, let alone let this group of strong laborers turn to Houjin and increase the population of the Tartars.

Chen Xin's hand knocked on the table beside him, and said admiringly, "The difficult life of the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town when they were stationed on the islands, this king has already heard of it, and it is already a rare thing that several generals here can lead hungry soldiers to attack Liaodong and achieve such great achievements."

As for the number of kills being less than the main force, it was believed that it should be due to the lack of armor and backwardness of the generals under several generals.

Today, hearing about the great achievements made by several people, the king is really happy in his heart, and it just so happened that when the king came to Lushun to inspect the victorious division of our army, he asked the logistics to prepare a horse of materials, and handed over to several people in a while.

In addition, the 1st Mixed Brigade also captured a batch of ordnance during the battle, and after the statistics were completed, each general would also be given a batch of them, and when several of them returned, they could take them back to the island together. ”
