Liaodong Peninsula, Jinzhou Zhongzuo City.
There were about 1,000 Neiding soldiers of the Pingliao General Army. They lined up in four neat lines in the school field of Zhongzuo City, holding suonas and holding the flag of the Three Armies Command of the General Soldier. All the guardsmen wore blue bubble-studded cloth armor with a red hood on top, and a flying saucer helmet on their heads. Four rows of soldiers, holding swords, bows and arrows, blunderbuss, and spears, stood solemnly. A military attache holding a willow knife on his waist was walking around in front of the team.
This team of soldiers belongs to Mao Wenlong's closest confidant, the Neiding Association, and is headed by Mao Wenlong's "eldest son", the Neiding Counselor General Mao Chenglu. In addition to the 1,000 people stationed in the school grounds of Jinzhou Zhongzuo City where the Pingliao General Military Office is located, plus the two to three hundred people deployed around Zhongzuo City, there are less than 4,000 people stationed in Jinzhou Acropolis, Fuzhou Acropolis and Dongjiang River. Responsible for monitoring all armies and supervising battles.
In addition to the Neiding Association, Mao Wenlong also has soldiers from the Jinzhou Association, Fuzhou Association, and Dongjiang Association under his command. Together with the Neiding Association, there are a total of more than 20,000 actual soldiers, all of whom receive adequate food and pay. The equipment is also similar to the Nading Association's bubble nail armor and weapons.
In addition, the Pingliao Army also has 800 Neiding cavalry, all of whom are dead soldiers who have been painstakingly managed by Mao Wenlong. They are ace cards used to carry out raids deep behind enemy lines - Mao Wenlong's raids behind enemy lines may seem easy at first, but in reality they are executed. It's very difficult to get up.
Although the Liaodong Ming Army had water control rights provided by the Tianjin Navy (controlled by General Denglai), they could land at various locations along the long coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula. But now there are no people in the coastal areas of the Liaodong Peninsula except for some defenders in fortresses.
If the Pingliao Army's landing force only had infantry, it would be difficult for them to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory. It is necessary to cooperate with the cavalry to achieve better results.
As the vanguard of the Ping Liao army's attack on Hou Jin, the Neding cavalry was also the focus of Hou Jin's attack! Therefore, it was often beaten by the Eight Banners soldiers of the Later Jin Dynasty and suffered heavy losses, and it has been rebuilt many times. Because the losses were so heavy, it was difficult to accumulate numbers, and there were always only a few hundred people.
The more than 20,000 elite soldiers are now receiving an annual salary of 600,000 taels from Zhu Youjian directly from the inner transport warehouse. In addition, there are 120,000 shi of grain for the pro-democracy movement in Shandong Province, and 60,000 shi of grain for local military camps in Jinzhou and Fuzhou.
Because Zhu Youjian did not send a governor or a military officer to garrison Jin and Fuzhou, the general authority of the Pingliao Army was extremely great. A total of 780,000 yuan of salary was all distributed by the Pingliao General Army Yamen... Mao Wenlong There are not many soldiers under this chief military officer, but his authority is surprisingly large!
In addition to his own troops and horses, he, the General Military Office of the Pingliao Army, also controlled several thousand to ten thousand guest soldiers from Denglai Town.
To the north of the large school field in Zhongzuo City is the yamen of Pingliao Commander-in-Chief. The door was open, and a group of assistants and assistants from the government office were waiting inside. Senior officers of the Jin and Fuming armies, including General Mao Wenlong, Deputy General Chen Jisheng, Generals Mao Chenglu and Liu Xingzuo, Deputy General Huang Long of Denglai aiding the Liao Dynasty, were not in the Yamen. Instead, they went to Lushunkou Pier to greet the governor of Liaodong, Yuan Keli, the North Korean manager Yang Hao, the aiding troops to Korea Li Xin, the Denglai general Li Keda and others who were visiting across the sea.
Because he received the edict written by Zhu Youjian in advance, he knew how much the young emperor valued Li Xin, who was second in the new department. So while standing on the Lushunkou Pier, waiting for the distinguished guests to go down one by one from a large sand boat, the Pingliao Mao Shuai opened his eyes wide and looked for Li Xin.
Yuan Keli, Yang Hao, and Li Keda were all known to Mao Wenlong. Among them, Yuan Keli and Li Keda often met with Mao Wenlong, and Yang Hao was Mao Wenlong's old boss—Mao Wenlong had served as an official under Yang Hao in his early years. Among them, the only one Mao Wenlong has never seen is probably the famous second place Li Xin...
Mao Wenlong squinted his eyes and looked at Li Xin carefully, and found that he was a young man with a big head. He had three strands of beard and was not very tall. He was wearing a blue official uniform. He was walking among several people wearing red robes. Among the high-ranking officials in python robes, he looked very annoying.
But Mao Wenlong didn't dare to look down on Li Xinguan just because he was young... That was the person the young emperor wanted to focus on training, and it was only a matter of time before he became a highly respected minister.
And today Li Xin is the protagonist, while Yuan Keli, Yang Hao, and Li Keda are supporting actors!
So this soldier... Mao Wenlong still has to give it to others! And you have to choose the right ones, because Mao Wenlong's more than 20,000 soldiers and horses have been receiving pay from Zhu Youjian from the inner transport warehouse in recent years, and they also divided the gold under Zhu Youjian's permission. , restored the two states, and became the "three-no general soldier" with no governor, no military equipment, and no eunuchs behind him.
A real separatist party!
Now Zhu Youjian just asked Mao Wenlong to draw three to four thousand elite soldiers for Li Xin to take to North Korea without reducing the pay of his Ping Liao army (soldiers can be recruited again)... If this is not done properly, there will be no future. Eat his good fruit!
...
"Li Bingbei, what do you think of my elite Neiding soldiers?"
In the school grounds of Jinzhou Zhongzuosuo City, Mao Wenlong, who was leading Yuan Keli, Yang Hao, Li Keda, Li Xin and others to review the three armies, suddenly smiled and asked Li Xin about the preparation of troops to aid Korea.
"Yes, yes, he is a rare elite soldier..." Li Xin nodded repeatedly, pretending to understand.
In fact, he has only read half of Zhu Youjian's secret "The Art of War" and roughly taught himself "Taizu's Spear Formation", "Taizu's Two Walls (Cavalry Charge)" and "Taizu's City Building" Three sets of practical secret manuals on the art of war. Of course, he has also read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Manchuria's No. 1 Art of War, and knows it by heart!
I don’t know if it would be a disadvantage to confront the three brothers Dorgon, Azig, and Duduo who are also familiar with the Three Kingdoms?
Mao Wenlong proudly stroked his gray beard and said to Li Xin with a smile: "Although I haven't done anything big in Liaodong in the past few years, I haven't wasted it either...I am here in Jin and Fuzhou. The main thing is The thing is to train troops! Although I have led many soldiers in the past, due to lack of pay and food, and lack of armor, I was unable to train properly. I have always relied on bad soldiers to deal with the Donglu."
Li Xin said with admiration: "I have also heard from Lord Long Live that General Mao is good at using weak soldiers to perform extraordinary feats. He is truly a hero."
In fact, Mao Wenlong's achievements in fighting against the Jin Dynasty were not as great as those passed down to later generations, but his expenses were also small! With a salary of several hundred thousand, the income is only a fraction of that in Liao Town. But the results and role of Dongjiang Town are much greater than those of Liao Town!
Mao Wenlong laughed proudly, "When it comes to using troops, I'm really far behind Long Live Lord... The Ming Dynasty has Long Live Lord, and the Ping Liao eradication of the captives is only a matter of 10 years!"
Li Xin also nodded: "Today's national crisis is not actually in Liaodong, but in the drought in Shaanxi, Henan, and Shanxi... If God opens his eyes and gives people in Zhongzhou and Northwest a way to survive. Within 10 years, it will really be The world can be at peace."
"Of course God will give people a way to survive!" Mao Wenlong said with a smile, "With the wisdom and martial arts of today's Long Live Lord, what obstacles can Ming Dynasty not overcome?"
As he spoke, Mao Wenlong waved to the team of Neiding's soldiers in front of him and shouted: "Youde, Kexi, and Zhongming all came out to see Li Bingbei!"
The three people Mao Wenlong called out were Mao Youde, Mao Kexi, and Mao Zhongming... They were all Mao Wenlong's god-grandsons. Their "Mao" surnames were all changed after worshiping Mao Wenlong. Their original names were Kong Youde , Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming!
The three of them are the three generals Mao Wenlong prepared for Li Xin. Mao Wenlong will also mobilize 3,600 elite soldiers from his own army and hand them over to these three generals to follow Li Xin to North Korea to make contributions!
It’s really incredible! If Zhu Youjian knew that Mao Wenlong had prepared these three "princes" for Li Xin, he would definitely be a little worried about Li Xin's fate... These three are all "princes" and can follow him Will Li Xin be a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?
