The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 75

Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong too quickly, and Mao's subordinates and soldiers did not have time to react, nor did they dare to react.

When the major event has been decided, everyone only has pain, so there are other thoughts. Many people are even more in danger, for fear that they will also suffer disaster.

Fortunately, Yuan immediately summoned the Dongjiang generals and told them that today I will only behead Wenlong, and each general will continue to serve as usual, and each will restore his surname to serve the country.

Then began to arrange for the aftermath of Dongjiang.

The actual number of Dongjiang soldiers reported to the Ministry of War is 8000.

Yuan divided it into four associations, with Mao Wenlong's adopted son Mao Chenglu, his confidant Xu Fu playing, guerrilla Liu Xingzuo, and deputy Chen Jisheng all unified the association.

Chen Jisheng and Liu Xingzuo were in Phi Island, Mao Chenglu was in charge of the military affairs of Changshan, Shicheng, Haiyang, Guanglu and Wudao, Xu Fuzuo was stationed in Lushun, and Mao Wenlong's seal was temporarily in charge of Chen Jisheng.

At the same time, Mao's family was asked to collect the body, and the army was ordered to go to Phi Island to retrieve Mao's Shangfang sword. They ordered people to release Hong Xiu, a businessman who was illegally detained by Mao Wenlong on the island, and others.

After the arrangement was completed, Yuan Chonghuan went down to the island mountain and boarded the boat to rest. As soon as he sat down, he heard crying from the island.

Ding Yi is standing on the shore with his men, saying that he is protecting Governor Yuan's safety, but in fact he is still a little anxious.

Xu Dabao's entire castle has moved here, and Yuan Chonghuan didn't mention him just now.

But there is really no way, the leader of the first association, the minimum is guerrilla, he is not qualified enough, and it is still the same as in history.

But Ding Yi really wants to stay in Dongjiang now, so he must find a place to stand.

Just when he was in a hurry, Xu Fuzuo came out of the boat and waved to him from a distance with a smile on his face.

Ding Yi kept his composure and trotted over quickly. After entering the cabin, he found only Yuan Chonghuan and Xu Fuzou inside.

"Kowtow to Master Supervisor." Ding Yi hurriedly kowtowed with a submissive expression.

Yuan Chonghuan looked at him solemnly, and after looking at him for a while, he said in a deep voice, "Zhenggang."

"Dongjiang's soldiers are arrogant and domineering. You just saw that. If you hadn't led elite troops to lead the formation, those soldiers of Mao's descendants would probably explode on the spot."

Ding Yi thought to himself, they didn't dare to move even if I wasn't around in history.

"Master Superintendent's orders are majestic, and the soldiers around him are elite. Forgive me, they dare not do anything."

"Ding Yi is just doing his job well and doing the things arranged by adults."

Yuan Chonghuan nodded in satisfaction.

He suddenly asked: "After the battle of Xu Dabao, how many soldiers are there under your command?"

"Two of 250." Ding Yi said immediately.

"You are on defense now, you can report [-] to [-] troops."

"Xu Dabao is small, so he is no longer suitable for you."

Ding Yi was ecstatic in his heart, but his face was blank and at a loss.

"Bang" Yuan Chonghuan shot up at the case, and suddenly said angrily: "On that day, Mao Wenlong rudely mocked our Ningyuan soldiers, saying that we are not as good as Dongjiang."

"Not to mention that no one in Dongjiang can replace him, Ding Yi, do you dare to replace him?"

Ding Yi's expression was terrified at first, then turned to panic, he thumped, and kowtowed again: "Ding Yi is humble, and he dare not forget to worry about the country, let alone forget the kindness of Master Supervisor's cultivation, and he is willing to die for him——"

"Okay." Yuan Chonghuan was overjoyed, stepped forward to help Ding Yi, and laughed loudly: "I didn't misunderstand you, just now you really have a responsibility."

Xu Fuzou also laughed loudly: "Brother Ding, we will be a family of brothers from now on."

Ding Yi was in a daze.

Originally, there were more than 4000 soldiers and horses in Lushun, including Mao Yongyi and Mao Youhou (the adopted son of Mao Wenlong, whose original name was changed to Chen Time after Mao Wenlong's death), two guerrillas, and three commanders.

Mao Yongyi and Chen sometimes led two battalions each, with about 2000 people in each battalion.

Therefore, in order to control Lushun Island, Yuan Chonghuan planned to let the general Xu Fuzuo rule the whole island and lead a thousand soldiers to guard Lushun.

Ding Yi led a thousand soldiers to guard the two islands.

Chen sometimes led a thousand soldiers between Ding Yi and Xu Fuzuo, and Mao Yongyi led a thousand soldiers east of Lushun.

In this way, Yuan's power on the island is half and half the same as Mao's previous power.

Because Ding Yi's rank was not high enough, and he could not be promoted again in a short period of time, Yuan asked him to act as the capital secretary, and he belonged to the post of capital secretary under Xu Fu's account.

After Ding Yi heard this, his face was joyful, and his eyes seemed unhappy.

Yuan Chonghuan was afraid that he would not be happy to be stationed here, so he deliberately mentioned him and asked him to act as the capital. As long as Ding Yi made more contributions in the future, he could immediately become a regular capital.

He also knew that Ding Yi might be a little wronged to be stationed here from Xu Dabao suddenly, so he comforted him: "Mao Wenlong has just been killed, and people on the island must be in a panic. I need to temporarily stabilize the scene and control Dongjiang."

"In the future, when you make great contributions just now, I will transfer you back to Ningyuan. Even a general can do it."

Yuan Chonghuan was desperately trying to win over Ding Yi. The trip to the two islands showed him that none of Mao's subordinates stood up at the critical moment. Ding Yi was probably the only one of Yuan's subordinates who dared to stand up at the critical moment.

However, if he knew that Ding Yi would not stand up at the critical moment, he didn't know what he would think in his heart.

Ding Yi spoke out slowly: "The humble officer was in the garrison at the age of 19 and served as the acting capital. It is unheard of in this dynasty. It can be seen that the lord is extremely favored. To tell you the truth, the lord let the humble officer station there, and the humble officer must be there." Stationing there is the hinterland of Houjin, and humble officials are willing to go there."

Xu Fuzuo yelled in his heart, damn it, Ding Yi just knows how to talk.

Sure enough, Yuan Chonghuan was elated when he heard it, and his eyes were full of smiles.

"But there are many family members of military households in Xu Dabao." Ding Yi changed his tone, and immediately said in a difficult way: "They must also come to the island with everyone."

"What the soldiers care about most is the fields. If they abandon their homes like this, will Xu Dabao's fields be gone?"

If Zhang Jing was here, he would definitely say that Xu Dabao still has fart fields, and the Tartars often come to beat the autumn wind, and there is the sea behind, so how many fields can be planted.

Yuan Chonghuan laughed out loud. This small matter is nothing to worry about: "My official promises you to hoard land and build castles."

"All material applications can be obtained from General Xu."

"In addition, 1 taels of silver will be taken out of the [-] salaries for your Xu Dabao's relocation. There must be no mistake."

"No." Xu Fuzuo naturally agreed loudly.

"Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for taking orders from a humble position." Ding Yi bowed down with great joy.

Next, let's talk about soldiers.

Ding Yi suggested that the more than 4000 soldiers and horses in Lushun should be separated and redistributed, so as to prevent some people from secretly conspiring against each other.

Both Yuan and Xu felt great praise and agreed.

Ding Yi asked again, if there are many people on the island, what if Xu Dabao has more than one thousand soldiers?Do you still accept it?

Yuan Chonghuan said with a smile, you are acting as the capital now, and you can lead two thousand soldiers.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, Yuan ordered all the officials to pay homage to Mao Wenlong, and even went to bow down in front of the coffin in person. On the eighth day, Pi Dao took back Shangfang's sword.

On the ninth day of the lunar month, Yuan went to Lushun and returned to Ningyuan on the [-]th.
