Chapter 168: Laozi (3)
Phi Island, also known as Pingdao, Jidao, and Phi Island, is located in the North Korea Bay in the east of the Yalu River Estuary. The island is not large, but it is located at the hub of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula. It is in a critical position. Therefore, it was occupied by the Chinese Ming Dynasty army in the 17th century and used as a base to contain Houjin.
Phi Island mainly played a role in restraining the harassment of the Houjin army, liaising and supporting North Korea, and recruiting and relocating refugees from Liaodong.
Ming Ting set up Dongjiang Town on Phi Island, governing the islands east of Lushunkou, such as Shenmi Island, Guanglu Island, Shicheng Island, Zhangzi Island, and Kadao, with Phi Island as the center. The Ming Dynasty General Mao Wenlong used Phi Island as his base and harassed them from time to time. Houjin Huifa, Yaozhou, Anshanyi, Saerhu and other places caused great trouble to Houjin.
After the gold people are not accustomed to water, it is difficult to cross the sea to attack, but Phi Dao attacked from time to time to gain merit.
Mao Wenlong therefore "accumulates to the left governor, hangs the seal of the general, and gives a square sword, and sets up a military town like Pidao inland."
stay away from the court and rule the king and hegemony. He is arrogant. When Yan Changwu enters the handsome account, he can only courteously, while Mao Wenlong is not polite to sit at the side of the handsome desk!
The general inside the tent shouted: "Mao has the king's life (Shangfang sword, if the emperor is here, you can cut it first and then play it), you little official, dare not kneel!"
Yan Changwu’s face changed color. After the establishment of the Southeast Mansion, he kneeled to the sky and kneeled to Mazu, not the Sea Dragon King, the governor, or the supervisor, you little Dongjiang Town, how can the post-golden do not let you? My Southeast Mansion is the best. Control you!
dare to show your power and tell labor and capital to kneel to you!
As soon as my gunboat swings away, I will blow your M!
With different identities, Yan Changwu was inconvenient to answer. Chen Hebin smiled and said: "My adults admire the majesty of Mao's murder of Tarzi, and come here to come in. First give a hundred muskets and then a thousand muskets. How can it be embarrassing to the gift-giver! "
I heard that there are still a thousand muskets, and there may be more in the future, and they will come one after another, not a one-shot deal.
Hundreds of muskets have been seen by the masters of Pidao. They are well-made, better than weapon muskets, and they are easy to fire, which is no small thing!
One hundred strokes is enough, not to mention a thousand strokes, so Mao Wenlong falsely rebuked: "The visitor is a guest, don't be rude!"
He just waved his hand and said, "General Yan, please sit down!"
gave Yan Changwu a wooden stool to sit down!
Yan Changwu held back his anger, sat down, and did not speak at all, and Chen Hebin spoke on his behalf: "Master Jiumu's fame, I see you today, the reputation is well-deserved! ..." (The following flattery omitted 300 words)
The southeast government intelligence agency has done homework and collected Mao Wenlong's information. Chen Hebin chose the best, and put on a big blow. Mao Wenlong was flattering, and his face was gentle.
"My lord, General Yan is a newly-appointed general of the Ming Hussar and the commander of the Taipei Guards. Because there has been nothing to do with the security recently, the sea is clear, and General Yan has nothing to do. Because he has always been in the business of maritime trade, he thought about microservices. Come to Liaodong to see if you can sell some local products such as leather goods and ginseng from this place. Moreover, I want to appreciate the scenery outside the Guan. General Yan admires the generals who beat Tarzi the most..."
That's it!
Dongjiang Town officials understand that this guy may have been bleached by a pirate, but the essence is a sea merchant, who does business, and his official position should have been bought.
No wonder they don’t understand etiquette, they despise him!
Chen Hebin said that, Yan Changwu continued: "To support the killing of the enemy in Dongjiang Town, the official is willing to send a hundred muskets, and a thousand muskets after returning home, 500 muskets a year from next year (for two years)."
Everyone in Dongjiang Town was a little upset when he heard him say this. Isn't that a bad check?
But the next sentence made them happy: "We will keep the manpower and buy the leather goods and ginseng produced in Dongjiang Town, Shouyun!"
He sent his close attendant, Zhang Shouyun, to stay on Phi Dao!
Zhang Shouyun walked out to show off to everyone in Dongjiang Town.
Since the manpower is retained, the business is sincere.
Next, in addition to the muskets, gifts such as rum, milk candy, and medicinal materials were also presented. In particular, a thousand hoes, pickaxes and shovel made of fine iron were presented!
The commonly used farming tools and construction tools were given to Dongjiang Town, but they were of great use, which made them especially happy, so I called on General Yan’s heart!
So these things can be used to **** ice!
Houjin lacks navy and cannot attack Phi Island by boat, but when winter comes, once it freezes, the sea between Phi Island and the mainland is sealed by ice. At this time, Houjin cavalry can go straight to Phi Island!
So before the freezing, the soldiers and civilians of Phi Island had to rush out to **** the frozen ice and cut off the ice surface leading to Phi Island. This is a major issue of life and death.
As long as the movement is a little slow, the golden cavalry will rush in immediately! (The distance between Phi Island and the mainland is the distance across the Yangtze River)
Ice hoeing is by no means easy to live. The weather is freezing, the blizzard is coming, and there are back golden cavalry on the side, bows and arrows waiting, and a handy tool is a strong support.
Mao Wenlong can be arrogant, but the people of Dongjiang Town have to appreciate it!
In this way, Zhang Shouyun can gain a foothold in Dongjiang Town.
……
That night, Yan Changwu and Zhang Shouyun had a secret discussion.
"My Southeast Mansion is short of people, can play, and there are few people who can be safe, but I can only entrust this heavy responsibility to you!" Yan Changwu said, and he would slobber once more about what he had said to Yan Tian.
"I must complete the task!" Zhang Shouyun solemnly marched in salute.
"Phi Island is important!" Yan Changwu said with emotion, "Very important!"
"It can contain Houjin's army, and North Korea can't be sincere in reversing the water, but the two bosses don't worry about it, alas!"
Don’t think that Yuan Chonghuan is very polite to him. It’s for the sake of his wealth. You can’t even think about commanding Master Yuan!
Not to mention Mao Wenlong. Yan Changwu thought he had the behavior of the post-Tang Fanzhen (separated rule). For example, he refused to let the imperial court set up a supervising army. This kind of behavior... The army, let alone the Taiwan Guardian's troops not let him set up a supervising army!
Take the Southeast Mansion warship as an example. All senior officers on the warship are appointed by the staff. Yan Changwu signs an order. The captain cannot decide the appointment or dismissal of the senior officers on the ship (he has the right to suggest but not to decide).
High-ranking officers (not captains, mostly captains) have to record their own logbooks every day, and hand them over to the staff as soon as they return to the pier (without passing through the captain). If a captain is sent to a military court due to fault, the log book of the captain will be compared with the log book of the captain to find evidence or find out the facts. Every time before sailing, the captains will receive special orders from the staff ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ What are they doing? Naturally it is to monitor the captain!
For example, the special order from the General Staff to the Captain of the Navy is: record data on all voyage calculations... This order is very high-sounding, not meant to monitor the captain.
Captain needs to know everything, see everything, and involve everything that should be known, seen and done on board. The captain of the navy is the inspector on the ship. Because of their identity, the captain cannot handle them as he wants. What they do is naked surveillance. (Does it look like a political commissar on a warship of the former Soviet Union? Have you seen the Pursuit of Red October?)
Again, there is an intelligence bureau established in the Southeast Prefecture. It is appropriate to send an intelligence agent on each large ship. There are hidden intelligence agents, and the crews don't know who it is.
There are also open intelligence agents. For example, the General Staff sent a military newspaper reporter to station on the ship. According to the military order sent, he has the right to know most of the things that happened on the ship. This is the intelligence agent.
The clergy of Mazu on the ship are all intelligence agents. Don’t forget that Yan Changwu is Mazu’s subordinate and son of God. The clergy cannot hide things from him, otherwise it would be blasphemy!
……
Any Taiwanese military dare not let him be monitored by Yan Dashao, Yan Dashao will deal with them as soon as possible! (Not resolved? One night, the cry of mutiny will become your nightmare!)
He understands Yuan Chonghuan’s desire for control, and he also understands Mao Wenlong’s desire for independence. Life is so contradictory. He has no ability to control them, so Zhang Shouyun has an important mission:
In case of a change, try to control the military on Phi Island and maintain the operational pressure on Houjin and the coercion on North Korea.
When things were uncomfortable, the soldiers and civilians of Phi Island were retreated to Taiwan.
His task is more difficult than that of Yan Tian, so Yan Changwu put him on Phi Island, who is more capable.
