Chapter Twenty-Six: Getting the East River


A few days later, Shen Yourong sent a warship from Shuiying to Pi Island to transport the cleared Liao civilians from various places back to Denglai.

Yang Guanggao delivered the weapons and equipment he brought to Mao Wenlong, a total of three thousand flints with bayonets.

Guns, three thousand pairs of armor, and a total of three thousand pieces of guns, knives, shields, etc. should be enough for all the soldiers in Dongjiang to change their uniforms.

The Dongjiang generals looked at this brand new firecracker and played with it in their hands.

They couldn't put it down for a while, and soon they were all vying with Mao Wenlong for it.

After Yang Guanggao waited for Mao Wenlong and others to finish dividing the loot, he smiled and said: "There is a special booklet explaining the use and maintenance of this new type of fire gun.

You must practice using it repeatedly according to the method above.

General Mao and the Dongjiang soldiers are the guards.

The first unit outside the army to install such weapons, the Holy Master said, Dongjiang wants to contain the slaves, so it must use the best equipment. " Mao Wenlong was naturally grateful again, and Yang Guanggao added: "Each fire gun can only be used a hundred times, because fixed gunpowder is not easy to preserve, so we will regularly send gunpowder to Dongjiang."

Mao Wenlong had 12,000 men under his command, and 3,000 of them were equipped with the Guards.

Although there was no need to count on the land combat capabilities of the 3,000 sailors, there was no reason to be dissatisfied with 9,000 elites.

Yang Guanggao waited until all the Liao people were sent away before he and Man Gui prepared to go back.

Before going back, he said to Mao Wenlong: "Commander Mao, if any Liao people escape again in the future, please send them back to Denglai.

The grain and rice consumed will be paid to Dongjiang by Yuan Gong Gong according to the amount of food shipped back to the Liao people." " Mao Wenlong was also a quick-thinking man.

When he saw what Yang Guanggao said, he understood a little bit, so he said: "It is better for Denglai to station an official in Dongjiang to manage the Liao people's westward movement and also take charge of the receipt of rice grains." , what do the imperial envoys think?"

Mao Wenlong was under the jurisdiction of Denglai.

Although the internal funds and rice grains distributed by the court were not much, they were discounted when passing through Denglai.

Generally, only 70% of the actual amount was issued, which was called "floating", which was the loss of water transportation. .

Mao Wenlong suffered deeply from this and even wrote to the governor of Denglai to protest.

However, this matter was not a problem that could be solved by the governor.

Although there will still be some floating amount of the amount issued, at least it will not be as much as 30%.

Yang Guanggao said in surprise: "Isn't the commander-in-chief always dissatisfied with supervising the army?

How could Denglai send someone here?"

It was difficult for Mao Wenlong to answer this.

He didn't like the civil servants to take care of him, but he clearly said that he would send officials to manage the Liao people's westward movement and at the same time receive rice grains from Denglai.

How come he became a prisoner in the mouth of the imperial envoy?

army, but I can’t say that officials from Denglai will come He can only manage civil affairs.

Now that all the Liao people have crossed west, the farming affairs can obviously no longer continue.

So what are the officials in Denglai in charge of civil affairs?

If he said that he wanted to follow the verification of the head or even go with the army, he really There is no reason to reject him.

Just as he was thinking about how to answer, Yang Guanggao spoke again: "Guanggao understands, but don't send officials from Denglai here.

I will report to the emperor and send an official from Beijing to supervise the army and supervise Denglai by the way."

How do the general soldiers feel about the distribution of military pay?”

Mao Wenlong wanted to slap himself in the face.

He originally wanted Denglai to discount less, but he invited a supervisor.

His mouth felt bitter, so he had to retreat and do the next best thing.

He forced a smile and said: "Please tell the imperial envoy to the emperor, Mao Wenlong please The emperor sent a supervisory army to Dongjiang Town to verify our military achievements in Dongjiang."

Yang Guanggao thought for a long time and said: "Guanggao understands.

When he returns, he will report General Mao's intention to be loyal to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to send a supervisory army.

General Mao, please wait here for good news."

Mao Wenlong complained endlessly, but he had nothing to do.

He could only comfort himself.

With the supervision of the army, at least Denglai did not dare to discount his food and salary anymore, which finally had one more advantage.

On the boat back on the ship, Man Gui looked at Yang Guanggao with admiration and said, "My colleague is easy to talk to.

He can handle this matter in just a few words."

Yang Guanggao smiled and said: "Actually, this is just a matter of time.

Mao Wenlong also knows it very well.

He has a lot of troops here and there is no supervisory army.

Who dares to rest assured?

His Majesty can rest assured of him, but those ministers, the Dongjiang River is too important and has no restrictions.

The means are absolutely impossible.”

Man Gui said with a smile: "Gunpowder is supplied regularly, so it stuck his neck.

The Holy One is merciful, but Mao Wenlong is not a trustworthy person like me, Man Gui.

This move of Master Lu is indeed very good."

Yang Guanggao said: "Xueshi Lu's plan really made Mao Wenlong obedient.

It's better for the generals outside to be more careful.

Who knows if they have other thoughts.

The Holy One said well, don't give others the chance to make mistakes.

Only then It’s really good for them.”

After hearing Yang Guanggao's report, Zhu Youxiao called Fang Congzhe and Xu Guangqi to ask about the candidates to supervise the army.

Fang Congzhe pondered for a while and said, "Let Chen Qiyu go.

This man has a clear mind.

It will be difficult for Mao Wenlong to hide it from him.

And he is an upright man, and he can fight with the officials in Denglai, and I will ask the Holy Spirit to judge him."

Xu Guangqi also thought that this person was good.

The next day, the emperor issued an edict: Chen Qiyu was appointed by the Li Ke to be the supervisor of the Dongjiang Town, and was also responsible for the care of the Liao people.

Chen Qiyu, a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, was first appointed as the magistrate of Luoyang County.

In the second year of Tianqi's reign, he was promoted to Shizhong from the rite department.

Originally, in history, the rebels in Shaanxi were basically wiped out by him, but in the end they were deceived by the rebels and believed their false surrender, and they lost completely.

After receiving the imperial edict, he was actually not very happy.

Dongjiang is far away from the mainland.

It can be said that it was created by Mao Wenlong.

Being a supervisor here is definitely a thankless job.

Zhu Youxiao called him into the palace and said to him: "Chen Qing, you have three things to do after you go to Dongjiang.

One is not to let Mao Wenlong lie about his achievements, and the other is not to let Denglai officials deduct Dongjiang's food and salary.

I will soon do it."

The Guards will be sent to Liaonan, and there will be people To contact you specifically, you urge Mao Wenlong to cooperate with the Liaonan Guards.

This is the third thing.

You don't have to worry about other things.

Of course, if you learn the art of war by the way, that is also a good thing.

You may be able to take charge of it in the future. opportunity."

He could still understand the high expectations in the emperor's words.

In fact, many civil servants had a dream of making their wives their wives based on their military exploits.

Chen Qiyu's mentality was different.

If he wanted to lead troops in the future, his current job of supervising the troops would be overturned.

It is indeed a good opportunity.

If you are familiar with the battlefield, you may even be able to recruit a few confidants in the army, so that one day when you lead the army, you will not be at a loss.

So he replied: "I thank your Majesty for your kindness.

I will definitely live up to your Majesty's expectations, learn the art of battle formation, and serve the country
