The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 405 Preoccupied
More than 100 cavalrymen from Jinzhou were dumbfounded along the way. Everyone was amazed and secretly admired the level of management of the "Red Banner Army".

Arriving at the General Military Mansion, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui were a little discouraged, their servants were involuntarily stopped making noise by the aura, and followed behind the Patriarch in an orderly manner.

The final result was happy. Wu Xiang paid a high price of 300 taels for the head of a young and middle-aged real slave with a waist plate, armor, and weapons.

He also took the opportunity to negotiate the price and quantity of buying a large number of porcelain, glass products, and liquor.What made Wu Xiang happy was that the delivery point of these items was at the port close to Jinzhou, which saved the money for customs clearance.

It is a pity that the "Red Banner Army" refused to sell him grain and ironware, and refused to transship the contraband he bought himself. It was even more impossible to buy bird guns, which made him want to get these things through other channels Sell ​​to Mongolia and Dajin.

Leaving Ningyuan, Wu Xiang seemed to be preoccupied all the way and kept silent until the escorting cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" left. Then he looked back and sighed: "Oh! With such a strong army stationed here, in the future Liaodong The sky is changing."

Wu Sangui at the side was deeply touched, and said: "That's the case, the 'Red Banner Army' has enough soldiers and food, and there is a strong city in Ningyuan to rely on, no army can guarantee victory in the battle, and the situation in Liaodong may change because of this. "

Wu Xiang said: "Son! You must remember that in everything, let the 'Red Banner Army' get three points. It is best to form an alliance with them. If you can't, you must not be an enemy of them."

At this time, Wu Sangui was very young, a passionate young man, full of fame and fortune, and he was not a big traitor ten years later.

Wu Sangui really admired Huang Han, who was beaten so badly that he built slaves and lost troops. He hoped to get along with the "Red Banner Army" in friendship, and even wanted to fight the enemy side by side with the "Red Banner Army".

He laughed and said: "The way is different, we don't conspire with each other. The 'Red Banner Army' is fighting Jian slaves and Tartars, and we are doing the same. How could we be enemies with them? Uncle Zu Dale is in a daze, and he actually brought his troops with him." Going to beat yourself will make the Guan Ning Army and the 'Red Banner Army' enmity."

"Oh! I regret it. If only I had persuaded your uncle. The 'Red Banner Army' is so capable of fighting, the current number of troops probably exceeds [-], and it is possible to sweep the capital of Liaodong in the future. What should the Guanning Army do?"

"Father, don't worry, my Guan Ning cavalry is not in vain. I can't deal with anyone who says I can deal with it."

Wu Xiang looked at her fat and strong son, and after a while she seemed to have made up her mind and said, "Son! I've made up my mind, and I will immediately contact the adults in the capital to repay my merits, and take the initiative to ask Ying to lead some of the Guan Ning troops into the pass to Shandong. Participate in the suppression of the rebellion of Li Jiucheng, Kong Youde and other old Dongjiang town generals."

Wu Sangui proudly said: "What is the fighting power of the Denglai rebel army? Our father and son will surely be invincible with the Guanning soldiers and armored servants, and it will not be a problem to make great achievements."

Wu Xiang praised: "That's true. Jiannu is too powerful. It is very difficult to defeat them and chop their heads. Going to Denglai to chop off the heads of the rebels is as easy as chopping melons and vegetables with the fighting power of the Wu family's armored servants."

When Wu Xiang returned to Jinzhou, he dispatched his confidants to make contact, and even took the Huang family's merchant ship across the sea to contact Tianjin Wei and Laizhou.

There are people in the DPRK who like to be officials, and it didn't take long for Wu Xiang's reported military achievements to be verified by the Ministry of War, and the official was indeed reinstated.

Wu Xiang took the initiative to ask to lead a part of the Guanning Army to enter the pass to participate in the Denglai suppression of the rebellion. The emperor and important ministers were happy to see the success, and soon issued an order to transfer Wu Xiang and his son to enter the pass to participate in the Denglai war.

My brother-in-law also wants to bring some people to Guan Zu's birthday. I feel uncomfortable. Recently, he always feels restless and insecure. It can be seen that life without people inside and outside may not be easy, at least he can't sleep well.

My brother-in-law and nephew want to enter the customs to do military service, how can my uncle hold back, besides, the Guan Ning army is also a member of the imperial court, and Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui are also registered generals of the imperial court.

In the end, Zu Dashou invited his brother-in-law to drink, and after pouring bitter water, he gave [-] Guanning cavalry.

Wu Xiang was overjoyed when he received the order to enter the customs. He didn't think his brother-in-law had given him too few soldiers, so he took more than [-] armored servants and [-] Guanning cavalry to pass through the Ningyuan "Red Banner Army" defense area to Shanhaiguan again.

This is where Wu Xiang excels. He feels that Huang Han and Zu Dashou are incompatible. Now Jinzhou and Ningyuan are directly guarded by the "Red Banner Army". Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan and other cities actually controlled by Guanning Army One exception was at the forefront against Jiannu.

Next, the situation is stronger than the people, even though Zu Dashou's self-respect is usually extremely domineering, he can't avoid the embarrassing situation where there are wolves in front and tigers in back.

Huang Han was not the emperor, so he didn't care whether Zu Dashou led the [-] to [-] Guan Ning army to surrender and build slaves.

Wu Xiang felt that he would be in a dilemma in Jinzhou, and he could never offend the famous "Red Banner Army" because of his nature of being both right and wrong, but he was from Guan Ning's lineage, so if his stance was not firm at this time, wouldn't it be giving others a handle?So he chose to escape.

There were few typhoons in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea at the end of April, and the armed merchant fleet led by Huang Han set sail on the route to the country of Wa without any surprises or dangers.

The captain of the navy, Huang Yong, was on the flagship. The warship used by Huang Han was slightly smaller. Gu Kui, Yan Congyou and other four personal guards stayed around.

Eighteen warships had two or three medical soldiers accompanying them. Medical officer Guo Xiao did not take the flagship. In his eyes, which warship General Ping Liao was on was the command center, so he was on the same boat as Huang Han.

There are quite a few people who think like Guo Xiao, including the master shipbuilder led by Wang Yuqi who can provide some repairs to the warship at any time and his disciples and grandchildren. They are also on the warship Huang Han is riding on.

At the beginning of the boring voyage, many soldiers who had never been out on the sea were so excited that they were happy to look at the magnificent sea from the bow. After sailing for a few days, everyone felt bored, because there seemed to be no end to the sea besides the sea.

There are about [-] men on Huang Han's warship, finally he has enough time, of course he will concentrate on the soldiers to study.

It is well known that General Ping Liao is a good teacher. It is an open secret in the system that most of the "Red Banner Army" soldiers who have more opportunities to be taught by the patriarch in person can get priority promotion.

The head of the family taught in the command cabin, and the off-duty soldiers flocked to it.

Huang Han often talked about geography, history, and exotic customs in order to cultivate the soldiers' interest in learning. He often described a hopping animal called a kangaroo on a continent far in the south, and told everyone a story about a knight in the Song Dynasty.
