Beiyang new warlord

Page 326

This matter can be traced back to the time when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong. Lushun was taken by Kong Youde, a rebel general from Dongjiang. However, with Yuan Chonghuan's downfall and the battle of Daling River, the relationship between Dongjiang and Liaozhen became better again. , Nominally, Lushun was reclassified to Dongjiang. Several times Mao Wenlong led troops to threaten Houjin's back road, and also sent troops to Lushun, but until the end of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Mao Jue still did not start to take it back.

It's not that Lushun is not important. It's located at the tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. The refugees in the pass escaped and came back. Mao Jue had to pass through this place to contact Shandong. It was an important part of the Northeast Asian trade route, but here was not in Mao Jue's strategic plan.

Unlike Tieyi, there is a buffer zone of more than 100 kilometers between Yizhou and Houjin. The Yalu River, Qianshan Mountain, and Changbai Mountain serve as barriers, but Lushun Guard is directly facing Houjin. The coastal plain can be reached by cavalry in a day or two. Under the city of Shenyang, if you want to develop here and protect [-] to [-] villagers, you need at least three regiments, and once more troops are added here, it will easily cause Houjin to rebound.

Now that Mao Jue is fledgling, if he really can avoid conflict with Huang Taiji, he must pretend to be his grandson to the end, and try to delay the decisive battle as much as possible! Su Changmei's proposal really moved Mao Jue's heart, but it was only a heartbeat. Back to the table On the side, looking at the pimple of Dalian Lushun in the later generation, he gritted his teeth for a long time, but he didn't make a sound.

"General, we have just obtained half of the Wa country, if it is not possible, move to the Wa country?"

Song Xiance also came up with suggestions, his eyes were fixed on Dongjiang's spoils, but Mao Jue simply shook his head before he finished speaking.

"No!"

Never underestimate geopolitics. In fact, there are many Han people who went to Japan, such as Changzong, Shimadzu, and Otomo, who are known as the descendants of Qin Shihuang. At that time, there were actually quite a few Central Plains people who went east to Japan for refuge, but now, Mao Jue can't be found. They were basically assimilated and fully integrated into the Japanese people.

If Mao Jue had the ability to immigrate the past three or four million people, it would have some effect if he freed up a few million Japanese people, but this is almost a fantasy for Dongjiang today. As the water floats, it can't stretch a few splashes.

What's more, the whole family moved to the country of Wa. No matter how hard the training was, there was no urgent need, and the combat effectiveness of well-covered troops was far inferior to that of Dongjiang's native troops. The Dongjiang regular regiment has the same training, with similar military pay and equipment, but its combat effectiveness is only slightly stronger than that of the Dongjiang reserve force. The weakness is not the physique, but the fighting will.

Both suggestions were rejected, and everyone was speechless for a while. In the final analysis, Dongjiang's territory is too small!

"If it doesn't work, Jeju Island can still accommodate 2 or [-] people, relying on the coastal area. The soldier Cao Pan Lang Jin Guangyan has already marched towards Jeju Island. It is expected that the standing army of the Li Dynasty should be able to be controlled early next year. Our army can move along the coast. The reclamation of the coastal area south of Luoshan is enough to build two towns and hundreds of farms!"

Adelaine's suggestion was not bad, but it was not good enough. Mao Jue's eyes were fixed on the map.

Above the Dongjiang River, there are still large blank areas in the northern part of Northeast Asia. This is the territory of Hou Jin, but it has been called a land of barbarians since ancient times, but Mao Jue, who came from later generations, knows that there is nothing here. Wilderness, the Songnen Plain to the east of the Greater Khingan Mountains, and the Sanjiang Plain to the west of the Wanda Mountains are all black soil belts that are rare in the world. The soil is fertile and oily, and grains are produced by sowing seeds. After the development of the Great Northern Wilderness, Heilongjiang Province became a republic. One of the best granaries.

This is also Mao Jue's main coveted target, and it happens to be staggered with Hou Jin's ruling core.

After the Battle of Guangning, the Jurchen tribes that originally lived outside Kouzi were gradually relocated to the relatively complete Liaohe Plain developed by the Han people. The Heilongjiang River in Jilin was much more barren than it was before the Nurhachi era.

The only thing that Mao Jue was uncertain about was, once he started to infiltrate these virgin lands in Jilin and Heilongjiang, how would the Houjin rebound?How much does Huang Taiji attach importance to this place and how vigilant he is to Dongjiang? Now, he really doesn't want to have a decisive battle with Huang Taiji.

But in this entanglement of thinking, there was a noise of carriages and horses in the yard below, the door of the conference room was knocked lightly, and Mao Li hurried in and reported.

"General! Guangxing guards, please see me!"

"Guangxing garrison? That old guy, is he here to do something?"

The so-called Guangxing Garrison is the native official who was sealed in the local area after Mao Jue conquered the Jurchens of the Xianjing Road. The Guangxing Garrison is the leader of the Sumu tribe, Sumu Yeertai. To be honest, the status of such a wild Jurchen leader is not important now Yep, almost all the young and middle-aged people of the clan were drawn out by Mao Jue, and 16 people immigrated there successively, so there were more than 20 garrison officers. This guy came all the way to see him, and Mao Jue was really confused.

Hearing Mao Jue's question, Mao Li also paused in embarrassment before responding uncertainly.

"It seems that he is here to ask for a reward!"

Chapter 3. Vikings?

The Governor's compound, which was originally orderly, became chaotic. Those savage women in leather jackets and pigtails were really strange. Even if Mao Jue kept fighting eastward, everyone still knew it well. The biggest enemy of Dongjiang is Houjin, a large group of guards and clerks of the governor's mansion surrounded and looked around with a sense of hostility.

Mao Jue estimated that Dongjiang had accumulated a lot of government affairs during his absence. Otherwise, a Jurchen leader like Sumu Yeertai, Shangfan Tieshan, would have reported to Mao Jue first, and it was impossible for someone to arrive. He doesn't know yet.

The meeting couldn't come up with a reason for the time being. Hearing the commotion, Mao Jue simply stopped the meeting and went downstairs with the officers and assistants under his command.

But his complexion is not too good.

Amidst all the strange eyes, these Jurchens from Hamgyong Road who pulled the cart over were not at all uncomfortable. On the contrary, they were a little complacent, showing off their strong muscles and looking around. When Mao Jue came down, he was wearing a dog fur hat and a big leather jacket, and he was dressed like a bald head. Ye Ertai, the chief of the Sumu tribe, knelt down on the ground like Xiong Da, and kowtowed excitedly.

"Little Yeertai pays homage to the general!"

"What are you here for?"

In the air, there was a strong choking smell of blood and corruption. Looking at the large cars, Mao Jue's expression was very ugly.

Not aware of Mao Jue's dissatisfaction, Ye Ertai said excitedly as he knocked his head on the ground.

"General, don't we in Dongjiang exchange our military merits for silver? The little one came here to ask for rewards!"

"Heh, Master Su Mu knows my Dongjiang's military skills!"

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, but immediately, Mao Jue's face changed instantly, and the right index finger of Wubei's right hand pointed down hard.

"Then do you know? The military law of the Dongjiang River! Kill good men and take meritorious service! Attack and kill colleagues! Provoking wars! Whoever disturbs the army will die?"

What are the habits of the Jurchens?Looting and killing each other, or going to Li's Korea or the Han people to rob them. Although these heads are reluctant, it is best to cultivate the Han people. The Koreans who plundered the Li family of Jingzhou still cut down Baizuo or Jiashanbu, which either caused a huge diplomatic disturbance, or made the Dongjiang cavalry troops who were still guarding the country unstable. Mao Jue didn't want to see that .

I really didn't expect Mao Jue to turn his face when he said that he would turn his face. The legs of a group of real children were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground. The local dialect was whimpering and explaining endlessly.

Fortunately, the person who can become the patriarch will at least not have a bad head, and he was trembling with fright for a while, Sumu Yeertai hurriedly raised two fingers to the sky, and swore an oath.

"God of Changbai Mountain, Lord General! Since we have entered the Dongjiang River, the rules of the Dongjiang River must naturally be followed. The heads on this car are all barbarian pirates who invaded the coast of Baitou Mountain this autumn. Please verify that if there is a You don't need to cut off the heads of our own people in Dongjiang, the boy will screw them off for you!"

Whether it was a mule or a horse coming out for a walk, it was impossible to guess like this. Seeing his promise, Mao Jue also waved his hands with a gloomy expression.

"Pull away!"

With a quick pull, all the tarpaulins covering the two carts were pulled off. Even in the cold winter, the smell of blood and corruption erupted all at once. Not only soldiers were present, but many Dongjiang schools The clerk who came out had never seen such a terrifying scene before, and several of them spit out directly.

If Mao Jue, who had just transmigrated, looked at the cold stubble on his neck, the broken white cervical spine, his shriveled eyes, and his wide open mouth, he would probably have weak legs. I have seen tens of thousands of heads, so where is this?

Mao Jue picked up one without being too dirty.

Not to mention, it’s really not a Han Chinese or Lee’s Korean. The leather hat on the head is frozen with the hair, and the messy hair is still exposed underneath, without braids. It’s not a Jurchen, at least not a Jurchen of Hamgyong Road , and the facial hair on this head is extremely exuberant, and the teeth are also badly damaged.

Underneath this head is another race, with small eyes, higher cheekbones, and a more collapsed nose. It is far different from even the Xianjing Daoist Jurchen in appearance, and is even more barbaric.

Mao Jue had been in Liaodong for so long, and had never seen these two races.

"There are really pirates in the North Sea?"

Even if he knew that the Wusuli River in Heilongjiang was not a barren place as it was said by word of mouth, in Mao Jue's impression, it should be sparsely populated at this time, or even a no man's land. specialty.

Are there pirates north of Hamgyong Road?Not the Nordic Vikings, how could it be?

"Return to the master!"

Seeing that Mao Jue's face had begun to ease, from anger to surprise, Ye Ertai quickly kowtowed and replied.

"There are indeed pirates in the North Sea. Although they don't come to Fan Bian every year, there are also two or three years in ten years. Our Sumu tribe near the sea and the Koreans in Jingzhou have all been robbed. If you don't believe me, General, You can send someone to Jingzhou to investigate!"

This point Mao Jue is really ignorant, in the east, there is also a Viking, Jurchen pirates!

During the Northern Liao Dynasty, the Jurchen pirates harassed Goryeo for more than 100 years. It was not until the rise of the Jin Kingdom during the Song Huizong period that it came to an abrupt end. In the biggest battle of Gyeongju, more than 6000 Jurchen pirates landed, and Goryeo cried and cried. Mother, once more than 3000 Jurchen pirates first invaded Koryo, and then landed on the coast of Japan. It is not inferior to their old counterparts in the West.

It’s just that with the rise of the Kingdom of Jin, the Jurchen’s navigation skills are like a flash in the pan, and they have been turned into land cavalry and have been forgotten. Moreover, the name Jurchen is still the Central Plains’ collective name for the entire Northeast minority. Take Hamgyong Taoist Jurchen as an example. They are not the same ancestors or the same ethnic group as Huligai Wanhu, the Jurchen of Jianzhou after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty. Further north, Mao Jue couldn't recognize the various ethnic minorities at all. Among them were ethnic groups that retained navigation skills. , is also very possible.

There was danger around him and he didn't realize it. This was Mao Jue's mistake. Fortunately, the northern Jurchen pirates were not strong, and even a young and strong Su Mu could beat them up. , should be small.

Mao Jue was not that stingy person either, since he didn't guess it himself, he just slapped him carelessly.
