Cutting over the end of the Ming Dynasty: a dog-leg knife at the beginning

Chapter 706 The Strange Circle
Outside Fuzhou City, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army of the brigade lined up crookedly, bearing Yang Menglong's anger.Yang Menglong's eyes were wide open, his baby face became a little ferocious due to fierce anger, he roared with the most vicious and ugly words, and extended his most sincere greetings to the eighteen generations of the ancestors of the Dongjiang Army soldiers, and these unruly people The big man in the Northeast shrugged his head like a little daughter-in-law after being scolded by him, he just wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in, even Mao Yongjun, Li Weiluan and others had the urge to avoid it far away.

Shame, shame!
If they messed up the formation and Yang Menglong reprimanded them like this, they would still feel a little wronged. The problem is that Yang Menglong didn't practice any formation at all, but asked them to rest according to the password, stand at attention, turn left, and turn right.Yang Menglong and the officers of the Denglai New Army have demonstrated this point countless times, and they have been asked to follow suit countless times. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army only thought it was naive and boring at first, but when Yang Menglong yelled out the order, they immediately went to the hospital one by one. They were all in a hurry, let out a breath, some stretched out their left foot, some stretched out their right foot, some stretched out their left foot first, and quickly retracted it when they saw something was wrong, and then stretched out their right foot... It's such a simple thing, they always If it's not done well, it's strange that Yang Menglong doesn't scold his mother!

"I've never seen such a stupid person, never! You stupid asses, you are not even as good as a three-year-old child! You are just like a bird with no distinction between left and right? I finally understand why you are being condemned again and again. The slaves have been beaten so hard that you can't find the north. With your IQ, you can go the wrong way when you go to your relatives' house, and go to war? Go give someone's head? I advise you not to be a soldier, and get rid of this body as soon as possible. Get the hell out and go home, I'll ask the imperial court to recruit a new batch of brighter minds to see if they can make a good appearance!" Yang Menglong spoke with a standard Nanjing accent, eloquent and eloquent, quite like Zhuge Liang scolding Wang Situ to death , The soldiers trained by the Dongjiang Army just wanted to blow their voices.

Mao Yongjun stuck out his tongue, and secretly asked Wu Yong: "Does little Yang Shuai usually scold the soldiers of the new army like this?"

Wu Yong snorted: "What is this? When he was training the new army, he scolded even more fiercely, and even beat people!" He gestured with his hands, "Tiantian holds a stick made of sand poured into cloth strips. The whip walks around in the line, and when he sees someone doing something wrong, he whips it right away. The hard-hitting man trembles in pain. Don't panic, he is being polite to you!"

Hearing what he said, Mao Yongjun also felt tortured...

"Take off the shirt for me!" Yang Menglong roared and gave the order, probably out of frustration with the scolding.

The officers and men of the Dongjiang Army looked at each other with some hesitation.The current temperature is minus three degrees. If you take off your shirt, you will die of cold!
Yang Menglong roared: "What are you still doing in a daze? Is this how you usually carry out the orders of your superiors? You should be glad that you are not in the Heluo New Army, otherwise you will doubt your life if you are beaten with a military stick!!! I ripped off his pants!"

The generals of the Dongjiang Army were in a state of excitement, and they took off their shirts in a hurry... Although they had never served in the Heluo New Army, they still knew Yang Menglong's temper. That's definitely stripping your pants, nothing else!Forget it, although it’s uncomfortable to take off your shirt, it’s better than having your pants taken off too!

As soon as the shirts were taken off, goosebumps appeared on everyone's body, and some people huddled subconsciously... It was cold, it was too cold!But as soon as he curled up, more than a dozen instructors came over like wolves and tigers with a sandwhip full of Nanyang characteristics, and whipped them hard one by one. When the whip came down, there was a blood mark, and they screamed in pain!Yang Menglong roared angrily: "Stand up straight for me, stick your chest out, whoever shrinks into a ball and pretends to be a grandson, just stand here for an hour! Damn, if you can't cure your father, you're still called a veterinarian!?"

Well, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were treated like cattle and sheep.

This kid was having so much fun, Li Weiluan walked over with the wind on his feet, pulled Yang Menglong aside, and said in a low voice, "Master Hou, it's not good!"

Yang Menglong asked casually, "What's wrong?"

Li Weiluan said: "I just received a letter from Feige from Guan Ningjun, and there is a change in Jiannu!"

Yang Menglong regained his spirits immediately: "What's the difference?"

Li Weiluan handed him a two-finger note: "Jiannu dispatched an army of tens of thousands to besiege Jinzhou, and now they have reached the city of Jinzhou!"

Yang Menglong took the note and took a look. Sure enough, it was clearly written in rows of beautiful small characters. Hou Jin dispatched tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry troops, and suddenly launched an overwhelming offensive against Jinzhou. Although Houjin suffered major damage, he was unable to support it. All the fortresses from Xiaolinghe to Jinzhou were lost, and as many as 3 soldiers and military households were damaged.He looked at it word by word, pondered the authenticity, and asked, "Is the news reliable?"

Li Weiluan said: "It was sent by Guan Ningjun himself with pigeons. It is absolutely reliable!" Looking at Yang Menglong anxiously, he said worriedly: "Master Hou, Guan Ningjun has always been arrogant and disdainful of dealing with my Dongjiang army. , let alone Feige’s letter to complain. Now they are starting to complain, which shows that the situation in Jinzhou is really very bad, what should we do? "

Yang Menglong continued to stare at the note without raising his head: "What should I do?"

Li Weiluan said: "You have to find a way to support them, right? Otherwise the court will definitely blame them."

Yang Menglong showed a mocking smile: "How to support? The sea over Jinzhou has been covered with ice floes, and the warships are unable to navigate. How can we support them? Or are you planning to launch an attack on Shenyang to encircle Jiannu and save Zhao?"

With a grunt in Li Weiluan's throat, he realized that he could do nothing about the war in Jinzhou... Lushun and Jinzhou are separated by a sea, and this sea has been frozen. No answer!As for launching an attack on Shenyang, besieging Wei and saving Zhao, it can only be thought about, how can Shenyang be so easy to fight?Maybe Hou Jin wants to give them a lure, gather heavy troops in the direction of Shenyang, and wait for them to get into their pockets!He said with some distress: "Then we have to react a bit? Otherwise, we won't be able to explain it to the court."

Yang Menglong sighed: "Forget it, Jiannu has fooled us all... This move of attacking from the east to the west is really clever. First, they gathered the troops of the three banners in the direction of Yingkou, pretending to attack Lushun, but then they suddenly launched an attack on Jinzhou. They caught Guan Ning's army off guard, and they did a great job! Their target was probably the fortresses of Guan Ning's army outside Jinzhou City. After destroying all those fortresses and robbing all the people and food, they should have withdrawn. It won’t be long before we have time to stop them.”

Li Weiluan remained silent.He knew that what Yang Menglong said was true, and that it was unlikely that Hou Jin would attack Jinzhou. In all likelihood, he would destroy all the fortresses and withdraw after earning a vote.It may be very difficult for Hou Jin to attack Jinzhou, but it is easy and enjoyable to attack those isolated fortresses, and no one can stop them.

Yang Menglong said helplessly: "Guan Ning's army did a great job and sent another [-] to [-] young men and a large amount of supplies to the Jiannu! Damn it, let's use Mao's fortress tactics. It's like sending labor to the Jiannu for free." Send food, and all the military camps outside Jinzhou City have become the private land of the slaves. You can come and cut a crop whenever you like!" He was furious. The Denglai Navy blocked Hou Jin's channels for obtaining food and young men from North Korea. Tianxiong's army destroyed the eight major Shanxi merchants and cut off Hou Jin's channels for selling stolen goods and purchasing grain, cotton, and steel. The entire dragnet had gradually taken shape, and the results were good. Hou Jin turned Guan Ning's army into a new channel for improving his performance and obtaining supplies. And Guan Ningjun also successfully turned himself into a channel for blood transfusion to the posthumous Jin. With this method, it is not easy to trap the posthumous Jin!

Later, let Chongzhen dispose of Guan Ning's army, it's his grandma's!

Li Weiluan looked distressed: "Master Hou, what should we do? If we don't do anything, the officials in the court will never let us go! You know, the Dongjiang Army's sea salt business has attracted countless criticisms. Farewell to death, I am afraid..."

Yang Menglong interrupted angrily: "You don't have to do anything, just step up your training. Let the speech officials in the court scold you if they like to scold you, and they won't kill you. You have a reliable source of money, and you can train a team. Soldiers who can fight are the hope of regaining Liaodong, and everything else is false!"

Li Weiluan said: "But the speaker..."

Yang Menglong said: "It's up to me to deal with them!"

Now Li Weiluan is relieved, and he can go to train with peace of mind... When it comes to dealing with officials, I am afraid no one can compare to Yang Menglong. Not at all, if he came forward to help the Dongjiang army deal with those annoying speech officials, then the Dongjiang army would really be able to sit back and relax!

Li Weiluan was happy, but Yang Menglong was not happy.With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth on the school field with a stinky face, muttering non-stop, and no one knew what he was muttering.

Shivering in the cold wind with their shirts off, the generals of the Dongjiang Army gritted their teeth and tried their best to stand up their chests to endure the bitter pain of the cold wind, not daring to make a sound, for fear that Yang Menglong would hear that he would be in bad luck again.Anyone with a wink can see that Yang Menglong is in a bad mood now, and if he doesn't want to die, it's best not to touch him.

It's just that these poor Dongjiang soldiers don't know that Yang Menglong has already left them behind, and now this bastard is racking his brains and thinking hard about countermeasures.

It has not been a day or two since Hou Jin used Guanning Army as a tool to improve his record. Every time Guan Ning Army mustered up the courage to go out of Jinzhou to reclaim wasteland and plant crops, and when the generals made a splash, Hou Jin's army would always arrive as scheduled. , took away the harvested grain together with the military households in Kentun, and threw a piece of scorched earth back to the Guan Ning army. The same thing has happened countless times in western Liaoning. The Guan Ning army has been fooled again and again, eating The reason I lose money again and again is because I don’t have a long damn memory!
We must try to break this vicious circle, otherwise the behemoth Ning Jun will continue to indirectly give blood to Hou Jin, and his strategy of trapping Hou Jin will be impossible to talk about.

But where to start?
