Chapter 45. Transfer of rights
Mao Jue’s current mood can really be described as a divine song in later generations. He is nervous!
Early in the morning, Xidaying Wharf became particularly busy again. All the warships of the Thirteen Thousand Houses were dispatched together. The soldiers carried food and tamsui, and the soldiers carried cannons and muskets, constantly transporting them into the cabin.
Wen Meng and Pang Dahai got what they wanted, and they were promoted to several levels and received thousands of households. Chen Rong was also lucky. After all, these three people can be regarded as Mao Jue's "old subordinates". When they arrived in Tieshan, there were even more military households who needed to be accepted. Mao Jue's subordinates could not be without the staff who could hold on to the scene.
These three people are capable. After all, they are old military households. Even if the second generation of Pang Dahai, the second generation of officer, has been influenced by his father and two uncles, they will still march forward and set up camp and manage it. The only thing Mao Jue, the new general, needs to worry about is to stand at the bow of the boat and look at the sea.
In the hazy sea fog, the Tieshan City opposite North Korea can be seen faintly. Under the hazy fog, there seemed to be countless grimaces, and they were swaying at themselves.
Although he had fantasized about being a general who led thousands of troops to fight desperately with foreign tribes in the heroic Han and Tang dynasties, it was the first time he was really caught onto the battlefield. Even Mao Jue himself didn't know what kind of behavior he would be when facing the legendary Jiannu who was dissatisfied with ten thousand and invincible.
Especially with such a legion.
Following the baggage, the soldiers from the Yi-character battalion of Xidaying were also boarding the warships one by one. At this time, the morale of these former soldiers under Shang Kexi was quite good, because before each of them got on the ship, they received a silver or two in settlement fee.
In fact, according to the military law of the Ming Dynasty, the An family fee must be at least ten taels of silver. However, even in the Wanli period, the real family fee was not worth ten taels. Moreover, only personal soldiers could get military pay, and it would be good to have enough leftover military rations. The long-lost silver in hand, and the soldiers' spirits also raised up.
But even so, Mao Jue was unsure of the performance of this legion on the battlefield. He could not handle the most combative personal corps. As for the infantry and musketeers of varying quality, he really didn't know what they looked like if they were to be rushed by Jiannu's iron cavalry.
I really don’t know what Mao Wenlong thought. He handed over such a big deal as defending the Dongjiang barrier of Tieshan to himself, a rookie. There are actually many powerful generals in Dongjiang Town. The Liu brothers, Mao Youde, Mao Zhongming, Shen Shikui, and Chen Ding, all of them seem to be more suitable than their newcomer.
"I said, Mr. Mao, you are really kind-hearted, 1,500 taels of silver! In fact, they are all for you and your personal soldiers. If you split one tael, you can't even hear a sound after you've split up, and your personal soldiers won't do anything. Should those soldiers be rotten or bad, why bother?"
Several confidants were busy loading ships and preparing to go on the expedition, which also gave some idle people the opportunity to stay by their side. Su Changmei, the fat grain supervision channel of Sammo Hung, was sour and stuffed his wrong arguments.
"Mr. Xiao Mao Shuai, our Ming Dynasty has always been a 70% silver for the family and a 30% silver for the soldiers. When it comes to fighting, it still has to rely on our horseback riding team to fight. Those bad soldiers will only wave flags and shout to make their fortunes. You..."
"So we were defeated in Kaiyuan, we were defeated in Tieling, and we were lost in Liaoyang and Chenyang! I want to be quiet, can you get on the side?"
The unceremonious rushing order almost choked Su Changmei to death. He moved his fat butt. The guy reluctantly retreated to the side, but he was still unwilling to show that he was neglected by Mao Jue. The guy stood behind Mao Jue with his stomach and stood at a bad angle. He stood on the land and looked like this guy stood firmly behind Mao Jue.
This time was equivalent to moving. The Thirteen Thousand Houses and the Yi-Bank Barracks all had to follow Mao Jue to join the Tieshan Army. It took me some time to move, more than three hours, and then I moved all my belongings to the boat. It took me more than half an hour to travel to the sea and land, and it was almost ten minutes noon before I arrived at the outer port of Tieshan City on the other side.
Now Mao Jue can be regarded as a new leader. The head of Tieshan was waiting there early, with a total of seven or eight generals and more than one hundred personal soldiers. The leader was wearing an iron tower helmet and a red cloak and battle robe, but he was an old man with a big beard. Most people were afraid, calm and happy, but this old guy actually looked relaxed and relaxed.
The boat leaned against the shore and saw Mao Jue get off the boat with a few personal soldiers. The old guy immediately smiled and responded to it.
"The person who came was Xiao Mao's handsome Mao Jue and Mao Shen General? Lao Jiu Tieshan's guard general Liu Heita, and he has met Mao Shen General!"
"I've met General Gang!"
The remaining six generals also followed suit and bowed together.
"I've met General Liu Shen!"
Despite his uneasiness and anxiety, Mao Jue still politely clasped his fists and returned the favor. However, after all, the young man still couldn't hide his troubles in his heart, so he asked urgently in the second sentence.
"The father-in-chief sent a boy to Tieshan for reinforcements. I don't know what the current situation of the enemy is. Where did Jiannu fight?"
When it comes to this, the faces of several military generals in Tieshan became strange. The thick-faced military general on the left, who looked quite thick and strong as Zhu Bajie, showed a hint of joy on his face, but the gentleman on the right, who looked a bit gentle and a white-faced scholar, and there was a man next to him, while the round-faced general showed a look of fear and disgust, but the white-faced scholar covered up better.
Liu Heita's expression was also quite strange. He looked like he was gloating, and he raised the corners of his mouth and then hugged his fists again.
"Little Mao Shuai, this is not a place to talk. Let's go to the city to talk. What do you think?"
It seems that the ancient secret military was not negotiated in public, and I also felt that I was too stockpiled. My old face turned red, and Mao Jue nodded obediently.
"The boy is a newcomer, and he doesn't understand any rules, just follow the old general Liu!"
I moved my family out in the morning and had to move my family back in the afternoon, but I just moved to Tieshan. I landed from the bay of Fengchuanli and walked about three or four miles northeast. It was Tieshan City. This city is also considered an ancient city. It was originally said that when Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty pacified Liaodong, the founding emperor of Korea, Li Chenggui ordered the construction to support the Ming Dynasty.
However, although there are territory of the Kingdom of Korea, there are not many Koreans. The war in this era is really ruinous. A few years ago, Amin and other Belle led 30,000 cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, and were as brave as the North. And because they were dissatisfied with North Korea's refusal to cut off contact with the Ming Dynasty and the content of the contract, they ordered the army to plunder along the way, so that the four northern roads in the Kingdom of Korea were almost washed into white land, and millions of people went south to take refuge. In addition, the deaths made Er Ding's mouth quite sparse.
It can be regarded as setting up a barrier for himself in the north. North Korea's Inzu allowed the Han people in Liaodong to take refuge again. Most of the Han people in this two or three farms were faced. It was already mid-July. In the fields, the wheat and sorghum had already exposed heavy ears, but there were no people in the fields. Only when the army passed by the village, they could see some cautious faces in the village.
When we arrived at this Tieshan City, the impact of the war became even more significant. On the top of the city, we could see the Ming army patrolling tensely. On the streets, the Koreans and Han people who fled from the Liaodong were common. It seemed that some people were constantly fleeing from the north gate with their families.
Tieshan City is really a joke. Mao Jue even felt that this place was not as big as the community where he rented a house when he was working. There were some irregular rectangular city walls and tic-tac-shaped streets. The General’s Yamen was in the middle of this tic-tac-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tic-tac-shaped tiled houses after all.
The Shen Rong Pang Dahai and Hu Meng were responsible for resettlementing soldiers, while the other side brought Wen Meng and Mao Jue, Liu Heita and several Tieshan generals, entered the yamen of the generals, to handle the handover.
With a loud bang, a large stack of blue books were photographed on the table, and the heavy booklet was shaken up with dust. Liu Heita seemed to be much more pragmatic than other Ming generals, and did not hold a welcome banquet for Mao Jue. His eyes were straightened and he said with a smile on his face.
"Little Maoshuai, Tieshan's military farming, household registration, and the list of official soldiers are all here. I will officially hand over Tieshan to you here!"
This is indeed a file that represents local rights. Mastering these is equivalent to mastering the Tieshan Peninsula. However, what Mao Jue is most concerned about is the current war. Seeing that this old guy seemed to be throwing a rake and leaving, Mao Jue hurriedly bowed with his fists.
"Gen. Liu, Mao is still a newcomer in the army. What is the current war? Where did Jiannu march? How should we defend against the enemy? I hope the old general will give you advice!"
"Well, I have retired and returned home. I will not talk about this military matter. After accepting Tian Ce, Xiao Mao Shuai can learn about Zhao Shoujian and Tian Guerrilla. Xiao Mao Shuai is busy with official business, so I won't disturb you much here. Goodbye!"
As he said that, the old guy was stunned by Mao Jue's gaze, as if he was escaping from his life. He hugged his fists and smiled and actually withdrew from the ranks of the generals.
This was the strange thing in the late Ming Dynasty. Dozens of personal soldiers rode horses and had twenty carriages from Ximen. The transfer of power in Tieshan City was completed. Mao Jue, a pink newcomer who was less than 20 years old, became the administrative, military and judicial leader of this town, 20,000 twenties, more than 5,000 soldiers, and more than 5,000 military officials. But standing at the top of the city and looking at the old guy's panic back, Mao Jue always felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.
