"The humble position is here!"

"Promoted to the fourth rank, General Guangwei, and served as the right commander of the Ning Navy."

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"Li Zhixiang!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"Liu Qingsong!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"Zhou Ning!"

"Promoted to the fifth rank of General of Military Virtue, with the actual position of Commander-in-Chief Ning Haijun Zuoqian!"

…

When Cheng Shijie spent half an hour to complete the conferring of titles on officers above the 100th General of the Ning Navy, and after announcing their actual duties, Cheng Shijie looked at the generals and said: "This time, what you guys have done has already eliminated the road.

I don’t want to be settled by someone else, do you understand?”

"Then kill the person named Sun!"

"Kill, kill, kill, just know how to kill!"

Cheng Shijie asked: "Can killing people solve the problem?"

"this……"

"We can't stay with Ning Haijun any longer. If we offend Mr. Futai, who among you can still sleep at night?"

Cheng Shijie's words forced everyone to ponder their own mistakes.

Having said this, Cheng Shijie continued: "Our only way is to go on with a tough scalp. Now we need to survive in death!"

"May I ask, Marshal, how to survive in death?"

"Liaonan!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the map behind him and said: "The four states in southern Liaoning are now beyond the control of the slaves. They are an ownerless land. Let's go to southern Liaoning. The sky is high in southern Liaoning and the emperor is far away. Even if Mr. Futai wants to settle accounts after the fall, it will be impossible."

You have to have this ability!”

Shen Mingyu frowned and said, "But Liaonan is too close to Jiannu!"

"If anyone is afraid, you can choose not to go!"

Cheng Shijie said calmly: "If we have to settle accounts in the future, don't worry about me not reminding you!"

"But……"

"unwilling?"

"yes!"

Zhang Yu smiled bitterly and said: "We finally found a place to stay, but now..."

"If you weren't reckless, we would have been able to survive in Ning Haijun. It's too late now!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the four states in southern Liaoning on the map: "These four states in southern Liaoning can cultivate more than 15 million acres of land. They are all sacred lands. In fact, it is a blessing among misfortunes. The reclamation work in Ninghai City

It hasn't unfolded yet, why are you feeling distressed?"

"But it's bitterly cold in southern Liaoning..."

"We have no choice!"

Cheng Shijie's words dispelled the last chance of all the officers. They occupied Dengzhou City and robbed Governor Sun Yuanhua's money warehouse, grain warehouse and factories. Not to mention Sun Yuanhua, even they themselves would not be generous.

Said to keep an open mind.

"Except for the right front commander, all other departments are preparing to move immediately!"

Cheng Shijie said: "The migration work requires the full cooperation of the Navy. We took a boat from Dengzhou and went straight to the Jinzhou Acropolis. We occupied the Jinzhou Acropolis first. Based on the Jinzhou Acropolis, we were the first batch to meet Shen Ming!"

"arrive!"

"Whether we can establish ourselves in Jinzhou in the future depends on you!"

Cheng Shijie pointed to the map of the Jinzhou Guard and said: "It has been more than three years since the Jiannu abandoned the four states in southern Liaoning. Now Lushun is in the hands of the Dongjiang Army. There is no Dongjiang Army garrison in the Jinzhou Acropolis. This is just the situation in the governor's office.

, or it may be accurate, or it may not be accurate. This requires you to send people to conduct reconnaissance, obtain reliable intelligence, and capture the Jinzhou Guard with confidence!"

"yes!"

"Li Zhixiang!"

"arrive!"

"If more than 6,700 soldiers from Zuodu Division of Ning Navy cross the sea, can the Navy complete the one-time delivery!"

"Yes, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Mr. Song!"

"Here we are!"

"You follow Shen Mingyu and are among the first to go to the Acropolis of Jinzhou. You will accompany the army as military counselor!"

"I'll take your orders!"

"Louis!"

"exist!"

Luis is a bearded man in his forties. Before retiring, he was an army major in the Spanish Empire and the musketeer of Juan's Legion in the Mexican colonial army.

"Your staff and the army need you to fulfill your responsibilities. I hope you can be worthy of the salary I pay you!"

Sun Yuanhua invested heavily in this mercenary army formed by twenty-seven officers. Each of them received an average annual salary of eighty taels. Of course, these were only junior officers at the second lieutenant level, and the highest one was the commander Gongsha.

Gongsha was a Portuguese who led more than 140 mercenaries in the first year of Chongzhen, including six artillery experts, four firearms craftsmen, two translators, 25 officers, and 23 assistants.

Carrying ten artillery pieces, he headed for the capital. In the second year of Chongzhen's reign, he arrived at Zhuozhou and fired at Jiannu from Zhuozhou City.

At that time, Jiannu saw that there was an army defending Zhuozhou, so he immediately retreated to Gu'an and massacred Gu'an. The total number of soldiers and civilians in Liangxiang was more than 20,000. Sun Yuanhua's ability to become the governor of Denglai also meant that the Ming Dynasty would carry out military reforms.

Xu Guangqi was writing to Emperor Chongzhen, requesting "exhaust all Western skills." Xu Guangqi planned to train 15 Western-style battalions, each with 4,000 men, equipped with 16 cannons, 80 medium cannons, and turtle dove blunderbuss (longer than the general bird blunderbuss equipped by the Ming army)

, powerful, similar to today's anti-material sniper rifles) 100 pieces, and 1200 standard bird guns.

This matter was abandoned due to the financial shortage of the Ming Dynasty, but small-scale reforms began in Dengzhou, which is now the Denglai New Army. During Kong Youde's rebellion, this Western mercenary army participated in the battle of Dengzhou City, including Gongsha.

Twelve people, the rest were injured.

It can be seen that this Western mercenary still has some professional ethics.

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Even though it was a very important matter to cross the sea to attack the Jinzhou Guards, Cheng Shijie did not participate in their expedition to see them off, but directly led Ning Haijun's old department, which is now the Youdu Division.

Because the movement of Kong Youde's rebellion was too great, Kong Youde accepted Li Jiucheng's bewitchment and launched the Zhaoyuan Rebellion that did not exist in history.

His first step was to attack the Zhaoyuan Gold Mine and rescue more than two thousand workers from the mine. Then he used these local Shandong miners to pretend to be ordinary people entering the city and successfully sneaked into Zhaoyuan County.

When Dongjiang Army soldiers led by Kong Youde and Li Jiucheng arrived at Zhaoyuan City, the miners immediately launched an attack, killed the defenders, and successfully captured Zhaoyuan County.

After capturing Zhaoyuan County, Kong Youde's troops captured a large amount of grain. The soldiers of the Dongjiang Army had enough to eat for the first time since they defected to Sun Yuanhua.

The well-fed Dongjiang Army soldiers, with high morale, began to attack the courtyard of the Deng family of the gentry nearest Zhaoyuan County.

The folk customs in Shandong are relatively fierce. There is no way. There are too many refugees from Henan and Dongjiang Town, and there are so many bandits. In order to protect themselves, many wealthy landowners have spent money to build strong watchtowers and forts, and purchased a large number of bows and arrows.

Fire blunderbuss, and even earthen cannons.

Once a large group of bandits come down the mountain, all the clan members will form a rope to resist desperately. These small number of landlords are often more powerful than the officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers can still escape if they can't win, but they have no place to escape and they can't win.

If you do, your family will be ruined!

Therefore, no matter whether they are rogue bandits or officers and soldiers who are more ruthless than rogue bandits, they are not willing to attack these strong fortresses and extort some money and food. If they really spend their money to fight, I am afraid that the gains will outweigh the losses.

However, these Dongjiang Army soldiers and miners were not afraid of death and charged one after another. After a night and a half-day of bloody fighting, Kong Youde's troops suffered more than 600 casualties among the miners and more than 100 casualties among the Dongjiang Army soldiers.

At a great cost, the Deng family compound was captured with a brutal victory.

Kong Youde's Ministry seized far more grain in the Deng Family Courtyard than in the county town. The total in the county town was less than 3,000 shi of grain, because the autumn grain had been escorted to Beijing. These more than 3,000 shi of grain were taken from the mouths of the people by Zhaoyuan County officials.

food.

But in the Deng family compound, they seized a total of more than 40,000 taels of silver, more than 1 million copper coins, more than 800 shi of rice, more than 5,000 shi of wheat, and 300 more oxen, mules, donkeys, and horses.

Many animals.
