War is always a political game.

The army supported by Dalinghe was wiped out, and even the commander Zhang Chun was captured. However, when the old minister Sun Chengzong, who had been re-employed for less than a year, was shaking under the attack of the censors, Zu Dashou fled back to Ningyuan and reported Huang Taiji's full set of ceremonial guards as spoils to the capital. The situation suddenly reversed. Dalinghe's defeat was also called the Dalinghe Victory. Sun Chengzong, as the Liaodong commander, even received some commendations.

After all, Emperor Chongzhen was very considerate. The Liao Dynasty started fighting since the end of Wanli. After three generations of emperors, he actually seized the ceremonial guard of the Liao lord. This is just one step away from cutting his head. This is beyond the previous dynasty!

As for the destruction of Daling River, more than 40,000 soldiers were either killed or captured, and the senior generals lost more than 70 yuan. Jinzhou was robbed by Jiannu's soldiers, which was a trivial matter.

However, what should be punished should be punished. First, the military supervisor said that Zhang Chun was demoted to a commoner, and his family was exiled. I really don’t know what Zhang Chun, who was still loyal to the Later Jin Dynasty, would not surrender after he knew about it?

There are also those surrendered generals, the male Ding Zisi, who is over 16 years old, all of them are killed, and their families are exiled and have no property. They can be executed here, and there is also a discount. There are still many relatives of important generals in the Liaodong Army, but nothing is wrong. For example, the lonely generals like Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, their families are in trouble. There are crying everywhere in the Shanhaiguan area of ​​Jinzhou.

There is a person who is very special to Dongjiang, Shang Kexi! In history, he was forced by Shen Shikui for ten years to be forced by Chongzhen, desperate and disappointed with the Ming Dynasty, and persuaded by Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, so he led his troops to surrender. However, in this time and space, Mao Jue, Mao Wenlong did not die, Shang Kexi was forced to Liaodong instead. This time, he participated in the battle against Dalinghe, and he was also captured and surrendered. The family members he brought and the remaining personal soldiers were also cleaned up.

Another special person is Wu Xiang. Maybe he has experienced his life and escape these days. His Jinzhou soldiers were the first to retreat to Jinzhou City before the Eight Banners Army surrounded him. Most of them actually fled back. He himself was dismissed from prison because of his army's escape. Finally, he was demoted to the people and retired and returned to the capital.

But his son Wu Sangui was promoted to the general of Ningyuan regiment training and the title of hereditary brocade rank, and the title of Thousand Households of the Heralds of the Brocade. The Wu family was still a prominent general. In addition, Wu Sangui's uncle Zu Dashou even added the title of Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office and was granted the title of Governor of Dingbei Bo. Chongzhen also ordered the establishment of a chastity archway for the achievements of the four generations of the Zu family guarding Liaodong in Ningyuan City.

In contrast, Mao Jue was much more unfair. He didn't even get promoted to the general, but he still had the title of deputy general. Emperor Chongzhen only gave a hundred households with a brocade clothes, giving an additional 1,000 taels of silver and twenty pieces of brocade.

In the battle report, Zu Dashou dared not be too greedy for merit. Even if he wrote himself as the main force, he would have mentioned several additional sentences about Mao Jue's Dongjiang Army being brave and good at fighting. He made a lot of efforts and killed a lot, and even praised him more than Wu Sangui. However, Emperor Chongzhen was such a stingy person. In his opinion, Mao Jue was just a stingy person. It was not important. Just pass it a little casually, and he didn't need to pay attention to it.

…………

Mao Jue's face was twitching.

It was not because of Emperor Chongzhen’s unfair rewards and punishments, but because of the moment.

On the vast beach, in several sand pits, huge keels were lying there in black like the bones of prehistoric giant beasts. Even after a few days, you could still smell the burning smell of wood. The mess in the shipyard had been cleaned up a lot, but the blood in the corner was still clearly visible. The entire shipyard had stopped working, and Yin Shu was kneeling tremblingly.

Mao Jue sent Zu Dashou back to Ningyuan. As soon as he returned to Pi Island, he ran here without stopping, showing him this way.

"Jiang, Master Jiang..., you, listen to your explanation!"

"You don't need to explain!"

In a word, Yin Shu seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, and his breathing was paused. It was not that he didn't want to do it, but Li Chao had long stopped treating him as his own person when he did things for Mao Jue. His home was actually blocked by Xiong Jincheng Shou. He could only wait for Mao Jue to come back and ruling him. But Mao Jue didn't even want to hear his explanation.

But Mao Jue's next words almost made him faint again.

"Hurry up and restore the production. I will ask Fatty Su to allocate 10,000 taels of silver and 20,000 stones of corn and sweet potatoes to you. The killed family will give you some money to subsidize. Yes, you will get 500 taels to suppress your shock!"

"Master Jiang! Little..."

"Okay, I know you've tried your best, just do your best. I'll do it well. I have to go to Xiong Jinshou to settle the score!"

Mao Jue waved his hand impatiently, turned around and climbed onto Adrena's gorgeous four-wheeled carriage with Bavarian lions. His injuries were not cured. Fortunately, the arrow that had been pierced into his stomach did not hurt his intestines, otherwise it would be really troublesome. In the past, when watching TV, those famous generals had no trouble in the seven-in-seven-in-seven-in-one situations among the army, Mao Jue understood, it was purely nonsense, Yuan Chonghuan could be shot into a hedgehog in the battle of Guangqumen, and could the general who charges on the front line have nothing to do?

However, despite Mao Jue's weak and embarrassed appearance this time, he watched his carriage out in a daze. After a long time, Scholar Li Chao was stunned, he turned his head to the ground in a fierce direction.

This road, from the fishing village outside Xiongjin City to the base of the walls of Xiongjin County, there were rags everywhere, and the refugees were piled up with decadent decay at the base of the walls, one by one, numb and dull. But when Mao Jue's carriage passed by, some sparks of hope were slightly burned in the pupils of these refugees.

At the city gate, Mao Jue's carriage was stopped. Dozens of Korean men and women dressed in shabby and even scarred on their bodies were kowtowed in front of the carriage, shouting some Korean languages. When they came here, Mao Jue was naturally equipped with a translator. Seeing his financial master walk out of the carriage in shock, the translator was translating quickly.

"Jiang Ye! These people say they are the manager of the shipyard. They are sorry to Mr. Jiang Ye! They don't have a good opinion on the shipyard."

In fact, no matter which country the people, their greatest pursuit is to live and work in peace. Although the Li Dynasty was not directly involved in the war, the exploitation of scholars, and the major policies, the farmers here lived a limited life than the farmers in the disaster area of ​​Daming.

Moreover, their land was occupied by the gentry. Mao Jue was desperate and could give them a way out, so these people were grateful.

To be honest, Mao Jue was blamed for this matter. He really didn't expect that after the Japanese pirates suffered a crushing defeat this year, they would still dare to attack his shipyard, so he did not station troops in Xiongjin. Now, he was raided by the Japanese pirates at sea, and five large ships were burned and more than 300 people were killed.

However, surprisingly, the Japanese pirates did not grab anything. After only occupying the shipyard for a day, they hurriedly retreated.

"Tell them! I have to carry everything, let them organize their men as much as possible, return to the shipyard, and arrive in the food and relief in the next few days!"

With great gratitude, more than a dozen villagers kowtowed and retreated with gratitude. Amid their shouts, the refugees on the street slowly packed up their worn luggage and walked slowly towards the beach again.

But this time, Xiong Jin, who was dead, seemed to have a little more vitality called hope.

Mao Jue was even more angry and rushed to Xiongjin County. In the Japanese attack more than ten days ago, Yin Shu once asked Xiongjin County for help, but the guard of the Mianqiu City did not rescue him, but instead closed the city tightly as dozens of workers in the shipyard were slaughtered at the gate of the city. Now that Mao Jue is back, he must settle the score with him!

But just when Mao Jue rushed into the county government, he found that the revenge had been avenged. What greeted him was a bitter face.

"Mr. Li, why are you here?"

The unlucky Zhang Chengshou was nowhere to go, and he was detained. He was put into a black prison. The one who greeted Mao Jue was a Chengshou named Li who had just come to take office in the past two days. And under his greeting, Mao Jue also saw Zhang's familiar old face in the back hall.

The leader of the Dongren Party, Li Yuanyi, Quanzhou!

However, the old guy was much worse than his demeanor a few months ago. He still had a black cloak covering most of his shameful face. The old guy clasped his fists in great panic.

"General Mao, something big is not good!"

"Jeju is falling! Those Japanese pirates who were killed in heaven threatened that they would not return the three people who were robbed by Wang Jing to them. Next year, they will attack our Li family North Korea and shake off all the grudges between me and the Japanese back then!"

I'm afraid the next sentence is what Li Yuanyi really worried about, otherwise he wouldn't have betrayed the Li North Korea for his own benefit.

However, the old guy's words really made Mao Jue knock on his head with a headache. I really don't know if the Japanese pirates were too strong or the Li Dynasty was too weak. Jeju is a tourist destination in later generations, and is also part of Jeolla Do. In the face of the Li Dynasty's victory against the Japanese pirates this year, it can be lost here. With such a stronghold, the Japanese pirates really fight wherever they want.

"Mr. Li, even if the dynasty reduces its troops, there are still tens of thousands of troops that can conquer and fight well, right? There are only a few thousand Japanese pirates, so it should be no problem to recover Jeju Island, right? Why is it so anxious to be here?"

"Oh, General Mao, don't joke about me. What is the battle in Neilin Mountain? Who knows about my dynasty? It is necessary for the Damingtian Army to recover this Jeju Island. I hope that the general will give me a hand in my favor, for my sake!"

The old guy simply bowed hard and sadly. Mao Jue suddenly realized that even if Li Chao had the strength to recover Jeju, he would not dare to use it! Once the general who entered Jeju found something from the Japanese pirates, he would be doomed. The Li family in Quanzhou could become history. It seemed that the only military general who knew the inside story and was willing to join him was the only one. It would be strange if Li Yuanyi didn't come to find him.

"Mr. Li, it's not that I, Mao, don't want to help you. The fleet in Dongjiang belongs to Mao's father. I have to wait for the imperial court to send an order at any time. I can't transfer it. You can see Xiongjin. The ship that I just got up was burned by the Japanese pirates. In just this month, my troops were still fighting with Jiannu in Daling River. There were heavy casualties. For a while, I really couldn't draw out troops to help you!"

If you don't take advantage, that's a fool! This old guy begged him for not shave two taels of oil from him. His Mao Jue's head was just stuck by the door. Besides, what he said was not a lie. The Iron Boxer Corps had just returned from the Liaodong battlefield with scars. You can't just drag him to Jeju and fight for this old guy to death right away, right?

"It can be dragged back in time. Now no one in the court wants to lead troops to fight. The parties are ruthless. It will take several months for the Japanese to attack. As long as you prepare before March next year, you will be ready!"

Li Yuanyi was really up to the point. He put his face on his face and bowed heavily with his fists.
Chapter completed!
