Chapter forty-six.

Everything made Mao Jue feel weird.

There is indeed war ahead. Today, Liaodong is quite similar to the Warring States Period. Large-scale wars and low-intensity small-scale wars are carried out at the same time. Every day, refugees flee to Tieshan City are refugees.

But on the third day of arrival in Tieshan, he had no contact with the war except for soaking in old paper piles every day to receive the number of troops and farms in Tieshan town. Moreover, the six Tieshan generals also came to greet him on the first day, and then there was no sign of the shadow. So far, the war was like this. He, the general of Tieshan ginseng, knew nothing about it. The current situation was so weird.

"I'll pay homage to General Governor!"

Today, the yamen of the generals was a little more lively. In the morning, more than 60 military men knelt neatly at the yamen. They didn't want to alarm Mao Jue, but Wen Meng ordered to drive him away, but these guys couldn't drive away no matter how hard they were, and the shouting shocked Mao Jue.

Hearing the neat kneeling and bowing, Mao Jue was also confused and asked in surprise.

"Which unit do you belong to? Why do you gather and block our general's yamen?"

"Return to the Ginseng General, the youngest one is Liu Chong, the Biaoying 100 households of the Tieshan Ginseng General. Please take it in!"

The Tieshan Ginseng General was nominally his own direct troops. Yesterday, Mao Jue sent Pang Dahai to inspect the army, but today, this incident made Mao Jue confused.

It seems that everyone understands people, but they are kept in the dark. This feeling makes people uncomfortable. Today, it really annoyed Mao Jue. He threw the roster he was holding onto the ground, waved his sleeves angrily, and cursed.

"Tieshan is Tieshan under my command. You are also soldiers under my command. They don't want to kill the enemy and serve the country and defend the village party. They will attract attention here and get out of here!"

"Master Jiang..."

"Get out! Don't get out of military law anymore!"

"Oh, please calm down!"

Seeing Mao Jue getting angry, he turned away with his sleeves, and suddenly rushed out of the fat man, quickly grabbed Mao Jue's sleeves, and waved his fat hands and pressed down to the restless soldiers below.

"Everyone, please be careful, don't be anxious, I will explain to Xiao Mao Shuai!"

…………

The generals were warriors, and behind the yamen was the schoolyard. Dozens of war horses raised the sky with smoke and dust. The heavy-armored knights roared and dragged their swords to charge. The scarecrows standing along the way fell down like ripe watermelons. On the other end, they were holding bows and arrows. Forty brave men shouted and pulled the strings. The bowstrings were buzzing. The straw targets a hundred steps away were filled with feather arrows, but none of them were off the target.

There are also Hebei big guns, shields, and simple swords on both hands. Every drill is full of vigor. Moreover, these people are basically veterans who have been in the army for more than ten or even decades. There is basically no new recruits who have been on the battlefield to pee their pants, which affects their performance. After a morning of martial arts, they finally saw Liu Chong and others line up again. Although there was a punishment element for the performance, this discipline still made Mao Jue nod slightly satisfied.

Who said that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they cannot compete with ten thousand? The Han people will definitely not compete with the Jurchens. Everything is just an excuse for laziness and corruption. As long as the military pay is in place, the Ming army can also compete with the Jurchens, or even be better!

"Okay, you will be my personal soldiers in the future. As long as you are loyal to me, you will work hard when it is time to fight. I will never be short of my food and salary. I will make contributions and behead my head. I will never be stingy with rewards!"

"Thank you, Mr. General!"

Instigated by Su Changmei, he came over to kneel at the gate of the gang general's yamen this morning. Just because of the identity of this personal soldier, he now has what he hopes. Liu Chong and more than 60 of the former general's personal soldiers were overjoyed, and they knelt down and kowtowed to thank him for their kindness, making a ruthless oath.

"The young ones will be in the same heart and virtue as the general. With the swords and fires, the young ones will never frown! If you disobey the oath, you will be cut into pieces and thousands of arrows will be pierced, and you will not die well!"

"Get up!"

"Abide by the order!"

…………

Mao Jue's personal corps has more than 60 more soldiers, and they are veterans who have survived Dingmao's random corps. For most personal corps composed of recruiting honest new recruits, their combat effectiveness is definitely an exceptional improvement.

But after relocating them, Mao Jue was not happy. Instead, he turned his face gloomy, making Su Changmei and Wen Meng, who had just made a contribution, Pang Dahai and others were confused and served him nervously. After returning to the gang general's yamen for a while, he turned around the gang general's chair for unknown reasons. He suddenly made up his mind, and Mao Jue drew out several arrows and threw them on the ground.

"I am the general order, and ordered the guard Zhao Cheng, the guerrilla general Tian Tao, the capital He Momo, and the Qian Zong Zhao Yong came to the general's office to meet me immediately and discuss strategies to fight the enemy!"

"Little Mao Shuai, are you sure?"

His feet softened. Su Changmei clasped her fists in shock, but saw Mao Jue humming with a slanted head.

"I don'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 tall Liao horses, but Jurchen barbarians who bent their bows and arches and slashed and charged may also be their comrades in the uniform of the Ming army.

Mao Wenlong’s Dongjiang Town was not recruited by him with one soldier, but formed by pulling one branch on the left and swallowing one branch on the right during the fall of Liaodong. This inevitably left behind various hills in the army. The situation in Pi Island is quite good, but there are still several forces such as Shen Shikui, Mao Youde, Chen Jisheng, etc. This is even more so in Tieshan Town, which is separated by the sea.

More than 5,000 troops were torn into six forces, among which the guard Zhao Cheng and Qianhu Zhao Yong were large clans in Kaiyuan. They formed a battle camp of more than 1,500 people, including tribes and village households. They are considered the largest force in Tieshan Town, and their relationships with the same tribes and party make this army very powerful. His guarding boundary is located south of the Tieshan Peninsula. Most of the military farms passing by Mao Jue halfway are under his command.

There is also the guerrilla general Tian Tao. Before the Liaodong Incident, he was a guerrilla general. He also had an old army of more than 1,300 people, with more than 300 personal soldiers and strong combat power. His garrison was in the northwest of Tieshan Peninsula. Now that Jiannu's attack is the first to be affected.

As for Dusi Hemomo, there are two other Qianmao, and their strength is undoubtedly much weaker than these two companies. The jurisdiction is also located in the north and is also suffering losses.

With so many forces, the most embarrassing thing is Liu Heita, the former Iron Mountain Ginseng General who had just retired and returned home. He was only 700 under the banner camp, and most of them were old and weak. According to the strength standards of the Ming army, he could only have more than 60 personal soldiers to surrender to Mao Jue, and he could see how weak his strength was. If he had changed to a powerful leader, Nurhaci was also a little bit bigger with thirteen pairs of armor. But the old guy's blood and courage during the Wanli Korean War were all wiped out by the years. He was willing to stay in this Tieshan City and eat some leftovers given by several families as an official hat.

The united Mongols can conquer the world, and the split Ming people can also turn into pieces of meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered. On weekdays, there are particularly deep conflicts and interests between the guerrilla general Tian Tao and the guard Zhao Cheng!

Taking advantage of the convenience of being close to the beach and the island, the Zhao family's biggest wealth was to smuggle ginseng and deer antlers and sell mink medicinal materials to the Ming Dynasty. However, if they wanted to obtain the source of goods in Liaodong, they had to pass through Tian Tao's garrison. Seeing that the Zhao family made a fortune silently, Tian Tao naturally refused. He secretly attacked the Zhao family or the Jiannu who transited to trade, and robbed the Zhao family's goods. For this reason, the two families fought each other for more than a dozen fights. In the end, the Zhao family had to pay dividends to Tian Tao, and each transaction made him take a small amount of hit.

Usually, this fragile relationship can be maintained until this time of Jiannu's invasion in late summer and early autumn.

For some reason, Jiannu had no idea why. In previous years, only three or four hundred scattered soldiers from Yizhou had harassed from Yizhou, but this year it increased to more than three thousand. The Jianzhou soldiers in Niulu invaded Tieshan Town and the Kingdom of Korea, like locusts, and broke through the military farms that burned the Ming army and the Koreans along the way, robbed wheat to feed horses, plundered the population and returned to slaves, and turned the northern part of the peninsula into a hell.

More than 300 people can still deal with it, and more than 3000 Tian Tao also had to pee his pants. In addition, there was also the Zhao family behind him who not only did not work or work, but also informed Jiannu. He did not dare to fight at all. He threw away his farmland manor and even the people, retreating south to Tieshan City.

As for He Momo and the other two thousand households, they were almost the same. No one dared to fight with Jiannu and lose their troops. They were finally annexed by the Zhao family. The territory was in Tieshan City and had to be further south. Zhao Cheng was also happy to watch the excitement and weaken the power of several robbers in the north.

In such a complex contradiction, the northern military farm in Tieshan became a victim. More than three-fifths of the military farm in Tieshan were either burned or in the countdown to the burning, more than 5,000 Ming army was huddled in Tieshan City and watched less than 3,000, and perhaps only more than 1,000 Jiannu ravaged his defense zone and did nothing.

As for Liu Heita, he didn't dare to intervene. No wonder when Mao Jue came, this old guy ran away like an old bastard with Rockets on his butt, with some of his confidants and the family wealth he had collected over the years.

Mao Jue rose too fast and had no idea about these twists and turns. As for Wen Meng and Pang Dahai, it was also for nothing. Unexpectedly, Su Changmei, who was not fat, had a miraculous effect in this. After a few days, she figured out the twists and turns and even introduced the remaining soldiers of the gang general Biao camp as a gift to Mao Jue.

It is also considered the reason why Mao Wenlong sent him here. Yuan Chonghuan praised himself for his good management. Mao Wenlong wanted to clean up the mess left by the Jiannu after the robbery, and he had no hope of Mao Jue being able to make Jiannu like.

But if you don’t know, you will still watch like a turtle shrank, then he will not be Mao Jue!

The personal soldiers rushed out of the yamen to send orders, and Mao Jue, who was wearing deerskin gloves, still clucked his fists and clattered.
