Beiyang new warlord

"The general has an order, let those bastards see it! Go all out and run forward!"

"drink!"

The soldiers of almost four guards suddenly shouted and ran forward. To Yuan Chonghuan's amazement, there were so many people with the same footsteps, and there was not even a trace of confusion in the formation during the running. The reins of the horse eased down, and he turned his head and looked sideways.

Coincidentally, Luo Zhige also turned his head, looking enviously at him, until the Wenmeng troops had run away, then he woke up from a daze, and shouted in front of him a little bit embarrassingly.

"I don't know whether the general will see you or not! What are you dawdling about! Hurry up!"

It just so happened that the entrance of the mansion was emptied following the departure of these troops, and a group of people hurried into the busy Dudu's mansion like a beehive.

"Miss Chiyo, are you back?"

Not long after walking, Kunimatsumaru, who was wearing Yuanfu, suddenly appeared from the garden next to her with her hair coiled on her head. Immediately afterwards, a dozen maids dressed in kimonos rushed out from the corridor, dragging Chiyohime forcibly Get off the horse, drag her and Guomatsumaru to the other courtyard on the right side of the mansion, yelled a few times in a hurry, while being dragged, Chiyohime turned her head and stared at Yuan Chonghuan until she was dragged around the corner , completely disappeared.

His heart became even heavier, and it was not until her figure disappeared that Yuan Chonghuan turned around again, looking at the huge brick building in front of him with heavy eyes.

When they arrived at the second-floor courtyard, Luo Zhige was not qualified enough and left. He and the knights of the White Horse Guards had no choice but to turn around here and return to the station, while the six knights in fine armor and black clothes who had been hiding at the end of the team pushed forward. Pushing Yuan Chonghuan off his horse, he entered this huge building that looked more like a beehive.

The Tieshan Governor's Mansion is also busy. The chubby Su Changmei is like a queen bee, running from office to office with a ledger, and he can vaguely hear him shouting how many stones the army rations, how many boxes of canned food, and immediately leave from a certain warehouse. After being transported out, they staggered away from these busy logistics personnel, and bypassed the freshmen who had just come out of the Dongjiang Academy from the staff department on the second floor and shouted at the map. It was quieter when they reached the third floor and above.

But when he reached the fifth floor along the stairs, Lao Yuan couldn't move his eyes once.

Although glass is one of Dongjiang's specialties, it can be considered a luxury until now. If a family has a room with a mosaic glass embedded in a wooden frame with small pieces of glass, it is something worth showing off, but this is the first time. The smallest of the five floors is good, all of which are made of a large piece of light red glass. From here, the Tieshan Mountain can be seen for several miles around.

Looking down from here, more than 70 meters, the giant sailboats of Tieyi filled the spacious port. This war monster has been in Tieyi for so long, and Yuan Chonghuan has never seen it before. He couldn't help it. The five-story building is more than ten meters high, and the people below are as small as ants. This giant ship seems to have turned into an ant nest again. Those naval guns that looked huge just now are tiny now. It is like a matchstick, being moved up and down. No wonder since ancient times, all the powerful people are willing to live in high places. Looking down here, there is indeed a feeling of being tall and tall.

Everything felt too fresh to even Yuan Chonghuan, the governor of Liaodong.

Just when he was fascinated by watching, a burst of crisp footsteps came from behind, interrupting his contemplation. Looking back, Adelaina, whom he had seen a few times, looked like a professional secretary, wearing high heels and kicking. Stepping out of the big room, holding a thick stack of documents in his arms, he gave Yuan Chonghuan a cold look.

"Mr. Yuan, the general is very busy now, I only give you 3 minutes!"

Yuan Chonghuan had no idea how long it was 3 minutes. Daming timekeeping is still a few quarters these days, but Mao Jue promised to see him, which is still understandable. At this time, he no longer has the style of a supervisor and hermit, so he nodded quickly. Following Adelaina, he hurried into the big room.

This place is even more spectacular than the outside. It is hard to imagine how Mao Jue made a whole huge glass wall with the backward craftsmanship of this era. Looking from here, most of the Iron Mountain and even the Phi Island on the opposite side can be vaguely seen. , This place belongs to Mao Wenlong in name, but now it is this young man who is giving orders here.

"Tell those guys in the Shandong Army that you can give them the old guns eliminated by the fleet, but I don't have the capacity to transport the dead guns to the country of Japan. Tell them, either carry them over the sea by themselves, or throw them here, and take them back later. If you dare to stab again, let Wen Meng "have a good talk!" with them, let's go down!"

The messengers didn't even talk nonsense, they turned around and left, and followed Adelaina to put the documents on the table. Mao Jue didn't see him coming, and rummaged through them as if no one else was around.When meeting Chongzhen back then, Yuan Chonghuan didn't feel the tension, but now it made his palms sweat slightly.

But he was worthy of being a supervisor, and Mao Jue ignored him, with a rigid face, he went directly to the table, knocked on the table and began to speak hastily.

"General Mao, you want to marry Chiyohime to the head of the Kuroda family!"

"In Yuan's opinion, this is definitely a wrong step! Now the Toyotomi family is left with Kunimatsumaru and Chiyohime. No matter how important the Kuroda family is, once Chiyohime is married, it is tantamount to giving them righteousness and excuses." , and the Kuroda family is a Japanese, and the general is a Ming, with the convenience of this marriage, the Kuroda family can better intervene in Toyotomi's family affairs, and there is a danger that Dongjiang will be overtaken!"

"According to Yuan, if the general wants to get the most benefits, he must marry Chiyohime himself! I mentioned last time that it is absolutely unacceptable to be Kunimatsumaru's adoptive father! In the world, there is only father to son, no son to father!"

A lot of great truths, Yuan Chonghuan once again talked eloquently as he did in the Yuan’s hut in Shangshou Village, who knew that Mao Jue, who had obeyed him twice in a row, was extremely indifferent this time, until Adelaine buckled on the table When the sand in the hourglass was about to run out, he raised his head coldly and asked indifferently.

"who are you?"

Chapter 275. Waiting for death

It seems that Mao Jue was born out of touch with the Chinese New Year. He was sent to Jiangnan for a blind date just after the Chinese New Year the year before last, and he almost never came back. Last year, in order to subsidize the food, he worked overtime and went to Japan to rob the Chinese New Year. This year is about the same, in December, Facing the wind and snow, the mighty Dongjiang Fleet rushed out of the warm port again.

There is no way, Chongzhen seven years!

This year, Huang Taiji completely conquered Eastern Mongolia, and he also went to the Trilateral Examination, which is known as the strongest in the Ming Dynasty. Zhan, Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and a large group of thieves were blocked here, but the emperor wanted to pretend to be coercive and issued an order for security. As a result, the tent army who was "escorted" back to Luonan was like a dragon entering the deep sea, breaking free from the restraint here , rushed into Henan in one go, and immediately swarmed hundreds of thousands of people, and the court could no longer control it.

During the more than ten years of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the most important winners and losers were the Chexiang Gorge in the seventh year of Chongzhen, the second was the Songjin Battle in the 13th year of Chongzhen, and the third was the Battle of Jiaxian in the 15th year of Chongzhen. Before that, the Ming Dynasty If there is still a chance, this time node will officially kick off the countdown to demise.

As a small lifeboat on this huge wrecked ship called Daming, time is ticking!

Even if Mao Jue is restless, it’s okay to cause troubles here and there, and often send troops. This time the scale is unprecedented. There are more than 3 troops and five or six thousand sailors. Battleships, more than 40 second-tier battleships, one hundred and six third-tier battleships, and functional ships, this time there are ten more horse boats, pure horse boats, without guns, all loaded with horses, this kind of horse boat Its size is even larger than that of a first-class battleship. There are fences for the upper and lower passages specially prepared for horses. Nutritious fungal mushrooms.

Facing the bitter cold wind, the sails were blown bulging. In order to maintain the firepower of the horses, on the spacious deck, there were horse breeders pulling the horses out for a walk around the deck, just like a scene.

This huge shipbuilding scale is naturally impossible with a population of 40 in Dongjiang. Here, I would like to thank Lee's North Korea. The 5 refugees and the hard work of 10 people led to the largest fleet in Beiyang. In terms of strength, it is already comparable to the Armada.

This time, because they were destined not to return to Dongjiang for a long time, several of Mao Jue's women, except for Chen Jiao who stayed in the mansion and presided over the government affairs, the remaining three were all led out by Mao Jue, and officials above the defense level were also taken out. You can bring your family members. After all, having family members to take care of them is also helpful for generals at all levels to maintain their combat effectiveness. In Mao Jue's view, family members are not only a burden, but a weapon that can boost morale.

For example, Li Zicheng's famous tactic of the three walls, the first line of infantry is thick, stabbing like flying, if the enemy's line is not broken, the cavalry will be all over the sky, and if it is not broken, the third team is not an elite force, but the old and weak family members When going into battle, in order to ensure that parents, wives and children do not face the threat of swordsmen, the Chuangjun will use 12 points of combat power in the first two blocks to tear apart the officers and soldiers in one go. After 13 years of Chongzhen, the large-scale Chuangjun will use this tactic , almost invincible in Henan.

Of course, it was impossible for Mao Jue to let Su Yi carry a gun on his back, and he would not let Dong Jiang's family members be cannon fodder, but fighting in a foreign country, with his beloved woman behind him, which officer didn't go forward bravely and never stop dying?

But even though it was an expedition, it was not so serious at this time. From time to time on the horse boat, she could still laugh like silver bells. If she didn't stay in the warm tea room of the Black Pearl, this girl Yu Leer He couldn't stay idle and ran onto the horse boat. At this time, he was riding a fierce horse, galloping at the front of the entire horse herd on the deck.

Not only her, but there were also screaming behind her. Chiyohime obviously didn't know how to ride a horse, but she still wanted to find excitement. She hugged the horse's neck and closed her eyes and screamed. The screaming horse was a little excited, but The difficulty lies in the back, Ying Ji, who is really ordered to walk the horse, has to control the horse, and at the same time has to think about the two Miss Jiao.

At the entrance of the deck of the horse boat, a big umbrella and a tea table were placed there, holding hot tea, watching Chiyohime screaming wildly there, a character who shouldn't be here couldn't help but shake his head helplessly.

Supervisor, Yuan Chonghuan!

People are not grass and trees, how can they be ruthless! Up to now, the scene three days before leaving the teacher still echoes in Lao Yuan's mind.

Seeing Mao Jue's indifferent face in astonishment, he was stunned for a full half a minute, as if Luo Zhige's sarcasm sounded before, Yuan Chonghuan lowered his figure again, and folded his fists respectfully and crawled down.

"Criminal Yuan Chonghuan pays homage to General Mao!"

Liaodong is really a good place to smooth out edges and corners. I remember that later generations watched the TV series "Shi Lang". There was an episode in which Yao Qisheng was dispatched to Liaodong. The seller begged for glory and pacified Taiwan. Yuan Chonghuan, who had shown his sharpness, had been frustrated with so many edges and corners now.

But this answer was not what Mao Jue wanted, full of impatience, he waved at Adelaena.

"This is the Dongjiang Governor's Mansion, not the Dongjiang Prison. Who will Chiyoji marry, and it's not a prisoner's turn to point fingers, take her down?"

Seeing Adelaine walked to the door and slapped her hands, the guard's leather boots began to ring in the corridor. In less than a minute, it became the most difficult time in Yuan Chonghuan's life.

Even under the capital city, the moment when Emperor Chongzhen hijacked himself into the city, doubted his loyalty, and ordered Jin Yiwei to take him down, Yuan Chonghuan did not suffer so much.

He is not sure about Mao Jue's methods. Sometimes he feels that he is very good at accepting people's words, and sometimes he will go his own way regardless of the consequences! If he just leaves like this, Yuan Chonghuan may be fine, but Chiyoji may really be. He was married to that little old man who he didn't even know.

Can you stay?Accepting Mao Jue's drive is tantamount to discarding the beliefs I have always insisted on! On the one hand, it is the happiness of Chiyohime's life, and on the other hand, it is the integrity that I firmly believe in. Whichever I choose will make me miserable.

However, the pendulum of fate turned a corner quietly here. When the two generals' personal soldiers appeared at the door of Mao Jue's study, Yuan Chonghuan finally stood up, clasped his fists and bowed.

"Subordinate Yuan Chonghuan, pay homage to the general!"

Ever since, he also appeared in the queue of Congzheng, holding hot tea now, watching Chiyoji's cute figure kept shaking his head, Yuan Chonghuan found that at least he has no regrets now.

It seems that God will not let me, Yuan, die of old age in the mountains and forests, so for Daming, Dongjiang, and her, I will last for another two years. Let the two wives live an idyllic life.

In a calm mood, Lao Yuan once again filled a pot of tea.

After traveling for about six days, the fleet stopped at Jeju Island again. This year, with the attention of General Mao, Jeju Island has obviously changed. At least, the originally narrow port has now been widened into a There are three large ports, and there are straight trestles built with concrete stones thrown into the sea. Even with such a huge fleet, the three ports of Jeju can completely accommodate them. The ships look like chess pieces on a chessboard. Entered the port in an orderly manner, was tied by iron chains, and the conscript army calmly walked off the trestle and disembarked from the boat, even the horses.
