"What kind of life do our Ning Navy officers live? We don't talk about big fish and meat every day. At least we can eat and drink enough. With this kind of treatment, in the Central Plains, ordinary small and medium-sized landowners will not have the opportunity to eat so well!"

Song Xiance continued: "As the saying goes, it is easy to get from frugality to luxury, but it is too difficult to get from luxury to frugality. The commander-in-chief will feed these Dongjiang Army soldiers well, wear them well, and use the best weapons, so that they can return to their employer in the future.

Did the army have a hard time?"

"this……"

Zhou Yandong suddenly understood: "From now on, these three thousand soldiers and horses can only have the surname Cheng!"

"Yes, you can see it, why don't you execute it?"

Zhou Yandong hurriedly carried out the order happily. The cotton-padded clothes of Ning Haijun were heavier than the cotton-padded clothes of later generations, weighing ten kilograms and eight taels. They were divided into three pieces, the cotton trousers weighed about two and a half kilograms, and the cotton-padded jacket weighed about three kilograms.

The coat weighs about four and a half kilograms. This is only the weight of cotton, not including the weight of the fabric used to sew the cotton coat. If the fabric weight is included, the three-piece cotton coat weighs a total of twelve kilograms.

These three types of cotton clothes will not cause frostbite even in an environment of minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius. However, the problem is that cotton was much more expensive in the Ming Dynasty than in later generations. Since there were no pesticides and chemical fertilizers, the cotton output in this era was less than 1 mu per mu.

The yield is barely over one hundred kilograms, and one acre of cotton cannot even produce ten sets of cotton-padded clothes.

When Zhou Yandong transported the cotton-padded clothes to the school grounds, the soldiers immediately cheered. As the cotton-padded clothes began to be distributed one by one, the three thousand Dongjiang Army soldiers at this time, like the Ning Navy soldiers, wore black cotton-padded jackets.

Cotton pants, a black cotton coat, and black cotton gingham shoes.

He was holding a long gun in his hand, which was almost exactly the same as Ning Haijun. Of course, due to the poor military discipline of the Dongjiang Army, they always swarmed forward when sending out items, and the whole scene was in chaos.

As the cotton-padded clothes were divided, these Dongjiang Army soldiers couldn't wait to put them on. Then more than a dozen carts rolled over. Each Dongjiang Army soldier was distributed a dog-leg knife. This was Ning Haijun's soldier.

As standard equipment, every Ning navy soldier, no matter what branch he is in, has a dog-leg knife in his hand.

Seeing the arrival of the dog-leg knives, these Dongjiang Army soldiers howled and swarmed forward, pounced on the convoy transporting the dog-leg knives like hungry tigers, and robbed them. There were more than a dozen four-wheeled carriages, and there were at least a few dog-leg knives on them.

There are also three thousand, which is supposed to be enough to divide, but looking at the ruthlessness of their looting, it is even more ruthless than African refugees robbing food!

The driver who was driving the carriage immediately dodges 500 meters away, and any slower dodge would be flattened.

Mao Chenglu was no longer embarrassed now. He just said with some self-deprecation: "These bastards, how do I usually teach them? They are as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as motionless as a mountain, and as aggressive as fire. They forget these in the blink of an eye.

How can they turn into bandits with just a little bit of good equipment? It’s really embarrassing..."

Cheng Shijie nodded and said with deep approval: "General Mao is right, the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army should indeed be improved!"

In fact, Mao Chenglu just said casually that when the Dongjiang Army fought against Jiannu, it almost never fought positional warfare and did not attack openly. There was no way. The equipment of the Dongjiang Army was not even as good as the garrison in the interior. In this case,

They can only fight cleverly, that is, take advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness and surprise them with a ruthless trick.

Military discipline is not very important, especially since the Dongjiang Army actually has at least a thousand female slaves. These are the trophies of the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army. There are also more than 2,000 real slaves, but they are all Haixi Jurchens. These

Most of the Jurchens could no longer survive with the Jiannu and defected to Mao Wenlong. They participated in the military operations of the Dongjiang Army and served as the leading party. It was precisely because of the existence of these leading parties that the Dongjiang Army was at home behind the Jiannu.

Surrounded, ambushed, or severely wounded by the slave-building army.

Cheng Shijie asked the Dongjiang Army to improve military discipline. At this time, Mao Chenglu had just taken Cheng Shijie's 3,000 spears, 3,000 dog-leg knives, and 3,000 sets of cotton clothes. At this time, there was no way to refuse Cheng Shijie, his new boss.

Mao Chenglu sighed and said, "I wonder how Commander Cheng will improve the military discipline of the Dongjiang Army?"

Cheng Shijie looked at the soldier Ning Haijun who was on duty in the distance. He said to the officer on duty: "Here comes someone!"

As the officer on duty turned around, he ran towards Cheng Shijie. He was still ten steps away from Cheng Shijie. Then he stood at attention and saluted Cheng Shijie: "Report to Commander-in-Chief, Ning Haijun Youdu Division, Twelfth General Fourth Division, the garrison

Chief Qin Liancheng reports to you that there is no abnormality in today's enforcement, please give instructions from the commander-in-chief!"

"Answer to General Mao, what is the duty of a soldier!"

"yes!"

Qin Liancheng said to Mao Chenglu: "Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty. They must obey orders in all actions, be brave and tenacious, and resolutely complete tasks. Train hard, master various techniques proficiently, and always maintain the ability to kill the enemy in battle, which can protect the safety of the people!"

"

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "The answer is correct, continue to stick to it!"

"yes!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "How is Ning Haijun's military discipline?"

"Rare in life!"

Mao Chenglu thought for a while and said: "I heard that Marshal Qi's Qi family army back then could also do what Ning Haijun did!"

Cheng Shijie nodded and said: "Yes, my commander's method of training troops is to study Qi Shaobao's "New Book of Jixiao". The equipment has been sent to you. There won't be any large-scale wars in the past few days. You must hurry up.

Time to train, adapt to the new equipment, and prepare for the next decisive battle! This battle is related to the fate of the Han people in Liaodong and attracts the attention of the whole country..."

Mao Chenglu said: "Cheng Shuai, just do whatever you tell Mao to do!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Tonight we will add salted fish and horse meat!"

"Commander Cheng is mighty!"

"Cheng Dashuai is domineering!"

"Shuai Cheng Wansheng!"

"Shuai Cheng is wise!"

"Long live Marshal Cheng!"

That roar made the ground of Jinzhou Acropolis shake violently.

This shows how encouraging Cheng Shijie's words were.

When Song Xiance heard the Dongjiang Army soldiers shouting the slogan "Long live Marshal Cheng", a proud and proud look appeared on his face.

"Do you see it!"

Song Xiance pointed at Zhou Yandong and said: "Lord, give these spears, dog-leg knives, and cotton-padded clothes to the Dongjiang Army that even the rich can't buy. This is called pattern. The commander's things are not so easy to get!

"

"atmosphere!"

Zhou Yandong had to admit that what Song Xiance said was true. Cheng Shijie was not a stingy person, especially since Ning Haijun had received military honors, which were all generous rewards.

Especially giving away good things like this is so unambiguous.

It looked like Cheng Shijie had suffered a big loss, but the problem was that this army would have the surname Cheng from now on.

In fact, there is no shortage of smart people in the Dongjiang Army. Mao Chenglu's generals Mao Yongjie, Mao Yongjie and Geng Zhongming, Mao Youjie, and Mao Hongjie, are known as the three heroes of the Dongjiang Army.

It's just a pity that Mao Hongjie was the only one among Mao Wenlong's adopted sons and grandsons who was present when Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong. He originally wanted to rebel and kidnap Yuan Chonghuan, but it was Mao Wenlong's order that told him not to act rashly.

Because Mao Hongjie was considered by Yuan Chonghuan to be Mao Wenlong's best friend because he knocked out the Shang Fang sword from Yuan Chonghuan's hand, after beheading Mao Wenlong, Mao Hongjie was beaten to death with sticks on Yuan Chonghuan's order.

When Mao Hongjie died, all the bones in his body were broken, and even his internal organs were spit out from his mouth. It was too horrible to watch.

Mao Youjie looked at Mao Chenglu and said, "Father, Cheng Shuai has ulterior motives!"

"How can a father not know this?"

Mao Chenglu sighed and said: "Since my father was in trouble, our Dongjiang Army has become a rootless duckweed. If I let my father choose, the Dongjiang Army should be the Dongjiang soldiers of Liaodong people, and it must not become the Dongjiang lackeys of Liaoxi."

military."

The running dog of Western Liaoning refers to Huang Long. In fact, Huang Long's ancestral home is Nanchang, Jiangxi Province. He was originally a junior officer who assisted Liao Dynasty. He accumulated military merit and was promoted little by little. However, all his promotions were concentrated in Western Liaoning. He was also recommended by his ancestor Dashou and was promoted to deputy general.

Chief Soldier, and then transferred to Chief Soldier Officer of the Dongjiang Army.

In fact, this was Huang Long who was unjustly accused. Huang Long was the main force in suppressing Kong Youde's rebellion in history. He chased Kong Youde to the sky with no way out and no way to the earth. Kong Youde's generals Li Yingyuan, Su Yougong, Chen Guangfu and his party Gao Zhixiang and other sixteen

It would be a wonder to capture a man's head, but it would be useless to take the woman back, and offer him as a prisoner to the court.

Mao Chenglu was very unhappy with Huang Long, but there was nothing he could do about it. As Mao Wenlong's adopted son, he was somewhat petty and not good at uniting Mao's generals. If he had known how to win over people's hearts, he would not have turned the Dongjiang Army into a mess.

After eating the dinner arranged by Cheng Shijie for the Dongjiang Army, these Dongjiang Army soldiers slept in underground dens with fire walls and fire pits. Although they were semi-underground, they were extremely warm, especially since they now had brand new cotton clothes, which kept them warm and comfortable.

"Boss, why do you think Cheng Shuai is so nice to us?"

"Showing affection for nothing is not adultery..."

"Shut up!"

A veteran scolded: "Cheng Shuai's food is worse than feeding the dogs!"

All the soldiers fell silent collectively.

"This man must have a conscience. Pat your chest and ask yourself, what do you have? What else do you have that deserves Cheng Shuai's calculations?"

"He wants us to be loyal to him!"

"What's wrong with being loyal to Cheng Shuai? You have food to eat, clothes to wear, and you will be buried when you die. Even if you don't have a son and your incest is cut off, you can still enter the Loyal Soul Garden. What else are you dissatisfied with?"

"Then let's be loyal to Cheng Shuai!"

"You don't have to be loyal, but take off your new clothes immediately and get out of here!"

Huanglong sent the Dongjiang Army to Jinzhou Wei in batches, and Cheng Shijie sent equipment, cotton-padded clothes, and warmth to the Dongjiang Army.

Slowly, the Dongjiang Army's surname became Cheng, and General Huang Long was no longer in their eyes!

They have only one loyalist, and that is Cheng Shijie.

PS: There were a lot of things going on today. I got up at around 7 o'clock in the morning and coded more than a thousand words. I went to the hospital. I took the time to type some words in the corridor. If it wasn't for Old Cheng's heart, there was really nothing I could do. I didn't have any surgery now, and I wrote thousands of words a day.

, the operation can only be performed on Monday, so I didn’t have time to modify this chapter. Everyone saw typos and wrong places, and Lao Cheng will modify it later. Sorry!
Chapter completed!
