The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 54 Take the lead
In the court, he couldn't help himself, and Sun Chengzong was helpless.

He looked at the young man standing in front of him for a long time before he said, "This governor has heard a little about your recent actions, very good! You are willing to kill the enemy for the country, this governor is very pleased."

Huang Shengdao: "Students are ashamed to be ashamed of the adults, and if they are forced to be pawns, they will die."

Sun Chengzong said: "Very good. The governor heard that you planned to land in Liaodong to attack Jiannu with a naval force, and he also thought it was feasible. Today I called you to help you succeed."

Huang Shengdao: "Students will take it as their duty to exterminate the slaves in this life. Thank you sir for fulfilling your mission. You will definitely fulfill your mission."

Sun Chengzong was very satisfied with Huang Sheng's answer, and said: "Okay, the specific matters will be arranged by Mr. Mao, you can go down."

Baba traveled hundreds of miles, waited for a few days but got a few minutes of conversation with the supervisor, this is the officialdom, this is the status gap.

Mao Yuanyi has been back to Shanhaiguan for a month, and this time he accompanied Sun Chengzong to the side of the Qing emperor but failed to return. He has not seen Huang Sheng yet.He got Sun Chengzong's order and immediately withdrew from the government hall together with Huang Sheng.

The two came to sit in a room where Mao Yuanyi was acting as an agent for official duties. Mao Yuanyi said: "Oh! The state affairs are difficult, and the eunuch is in power. My family supervisor is having a hard time!"

Huang Sheng knew that he was only a deputy county magistrate, and that he only got a salary and didn't go to work for a false title. The factional struggle in the imperial court was a conspiracy among the officials, and he was too far away from him, so he couldn't even curry favor if he wanted to join.

What's more, they make a mess of you singing and I come on stage. It's very chaotic. You must not play with them. If you do this, you will end the game sooner or later.

He didn't speak and just waited for the next one. Mao Yuanyi continued: "Master Superintendent finally made arrangements to stabilize the situation. It's a pity that Jiannu hasn't made further progress in Liaoxi! It's a pity."

Huang Sheng actually scoffed at the so-called arrangement of Liaodong. Sun Chengzong should take the initiative to attack when Nurhachi failed to stabilize Liaodong, and should not wait for the enemy to attack him.

It may also be because Liaodong has no soldiers who dare to fight, but Huang Sheng always believes that being passive will only get beaten.

Why does Mao Wenlong have less money and food for soldiers and horses, so he can fight and lose repeatedly but dare to fight again?The fierce soldiers and brave generals are made by fighting. If you don't fight and hide in the city all day, it will only degrade the army.

Jiannu attacked Dongjiang Town, Liaoxi did not take coordinated actions, and ignored the reason that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold. They just wanted to keep themselves safe for a while. Such a strategy must have flaws.

Huang Sheng was not stunned, he hurriedly followed Mao Yuanyi's voice and said: "Master Supervisor is a model for my generation, and my brother's contribution is also indispensable for making suggestions."

Mao Yuanyi shook his head and sighed for a long time before saying: "Master Superintendent summoned many generals this time, with only one purpose, to kill Jiannu, and arranged the number of beheads for many military officers."

So that's the case, since the ministers in the court have impeached me, Sun Chengzong, for being afraid of the enemy, then let's use the gains to speak!Countermeasures are good, but how to implement them?Huang Sheng was interested, and wanted to see what brilliant tricks Liaodong Jinglue had.

Huang Shengdao: "Brother, how will the supervisor make arrangements? My younger brother would like to hear the details."

Mao Yuanyi shook his head and sighed again, and said: "Of course I asked the generals under my command to attack, but it's a pity that these arrogant soldiers shirk each other and have no fighting spirit. In the end, the supervisor gave a strict order, so he reluctantly accepted the order."

Hearing this, I already knew what was going on, how long would it be if I didn't show my loyalty at this time, Huang Sheng said: "Brother, I invite you to fight, and I am willing to go through fire and water to share the worries of the Master Supervisor."

Mao Yuanyi said happily: "My dear brother! Brother Yu knew that you would take the initiative to ask for orders. He had already asked for my brother's fight when he returned to Shanhaiguan from Ningyuan. The supervisor was very happy to hear that, so he summoned my dear brother to encourage him!"

This is because there are people in the court who are easy to be officials, and Sun Chengzong dispatched troops and generals, who would have thought that there was still an eighth-rank official available. Of course, it was Mao Yuanyi who wanted to support Huang Sheng, and blew the wind in the ears of the governor.

He didn't let Huang Sheng be restrained by other generals, and of course tied his own interests with Huang Sheng.

Mao Yuanyi will return to Ningyuan to work after a while, and he will directly lead Huang Sheng. The plan reported to Sun Chengzong is to cross the sea to attack Jiannu, and the result is no less than twenty real slave heads.

Obtaining twenty Jiannu heads is not easy!The Ming army fought against the Jiannu with great defeats and no gains at all. Therefore, two hundred Jiannu heads in the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse fabricated the great victory in Ningyuan.

When Huang Sheng heard the process of obtaining this mission, his eyes lit up.Cross the sea?How to cross the sea without a boat?The four sea-going ships in hand are his own private, so there is no reason for private individuals to pay for armaments when fighting for the country.

Mao Yuanyi smiled and said: "Master Sun specially approved some equipment to help us succeed. He gave six seagoing ships, including two straw boats and four horse boats. Brother Yu failed to win the No. [-] lucky boat. Sailors, the most practical thing to deal with them is a horse boat that is easy to log into for battle."

Huang Sheng knew that these six ships were the property of the Ming army and not his own, but he didn't know which general they were under, and how were the sailors and gunners arranged?
Huang Sheng said: "Thank you, brother, for thinking of brothers everywhere, but I don't know how to dispatch these warships?"

Mao Yuanyi said: "Brother Yu told the Master Supervisor frankly a long time ago that no one can command the virtuous brother except Brother Yu. You don't need to worry about it. The twenty sailors and sixteen gunners were all selected by Brother Yu himself. These soldiers are all from Jinzhou. , Liao people in Fuzhou are all honest and responsible people, and Jiannu owes them blood debts."

"It's so good. No matter how good a strategy is, it needs soldiers who dare to fight to complete it. Of course, there is no problem with those who have seen it personally."

Mao Yuanyi nodded and said: "That's true. Brother, you still have a few months to prepare. You have to wait until the sea ice melts in spring to log in to Liaodong. You should have enough time for training exercises."

Mao Yuanyi remembered Huang Sheng's every battle in his heart. He knew that Huang Sheng was very careful and always targeted.He greatly appreciated such an approach and knew the importance of the exercise.

Huang Sheng said: "Brother, my younger brother has just settled down, and there are too many people eating at home."

"I know, I know, Brother Yu has already asked for your military salary for you. The two sons of your family will be promoted to one level for the time being, and they will be given a hundred households to try for official positions. They will be awarded the Shanhaiguan Navy General Banner. There are 20 members of the upper family, and they lead two general banners to serve as vacant posts."

"Great, thank you brother."

"The Shanhaiguan Marine Division is under Ma Shilong's command. Ma Shihu has a vain position as a sentry officer and only manages your subordinates in name. Brother Yu is your direct superior. This arrangement prevents anyone from interfering in your and my affairs."

Mao Yuanyi was formidable and experienced in handling things. He was going to personally control this guerrilla force firmly.

Huang Sheng said: "Brother arranges it like this, so my younger brother will have no worries! I don't know where the boat is now?"

Mao Yuanyi said: "They are all good boats launched last year, and they should be on their way to your house now. When you go back, you will take away the military supplies and salary. Brother Yu will find a way to give you some when he returns to Ningyuan.

But you must find a way to come out on top, Brother Yu can explain everything.Master Supervisor has the head you sent here, those generals who waited and watched will be slapped in the face, what else do they have to say? "

It's really powerful, people are more popular than people, everyone said that Jiannu is not easy to fight, but they can't be beaten, now Mao Yuanyi's men have won the battle, and they have gained a lot, how do you deal with it?Whether you like it or not, you have to bite the bullet!

No wonder Master Supervisor actually summoned himself, it turned out that there was a foreshadowing here!This time, his meritorious service should be able to increase his rank and become a noble. The supervisor must always encourage the officers and soldiers of Liaodong to fight the enemy bravely, right?

Mao Yuanyi is Lord Sun Chengzong's senior advisor, and this time he will not stay in Shanhaiguan for too long. He is very busy and entertains a lot, and he can't even invite Huang Sheng to drink at night. He made an appointment to go back to Ningyuan for a reunion, and called Ma Shihu to take care of him. So I hurried to Sun Chengzong's place.

Ma Shihu happily pulled Huang Sheng away, what are you doing?Someone invites a drink.who?He Kegang.

Huang Sheng knew He Kegang, he was a tragic hero in the late Ming Dynasty and one of the loyal ministers and generals.Now I know that he is still He Xian's nephew from the same family, he is a good friend with Ma Shihu, and he is also a military officer of the fourth rank, and he is actually appointed as Chief Qian.

Huang Sheng was taken away from the He Mansion by Ma Shihu, and everyone in the He family knew about Huang Sheng's past. Although they didn't care what a small eighth-rank official would do to them, it was better to settle enemies than tie them up. Businessmen should be kind and make money. right.

Master He thought that retiring the engagement was a blatant slap in the face of others, and he was always in the wrong, so he immediately recruited his nephew to make peace.At this time, Huang Mingli and Han Guang had already left He Mansion with He Xiang to stay at the posthouse.

The servants of the He family carried all the returned gifts to their residence. Huang Mingli knew roughly how many gifts the Huang family had taken three years ago, but now that they had returned more than double, he dared not decide and left them intact until Huang Sheng came back to deal with it.

Mei Xiang and a few sisters came to see He Xiang in the post house, and brought all her clothes from the He family, and also brought many gifts from the old lady of the He family, of course some jewelry.

He Xiang was so stubborn that she didn't want it, Mei Xiang's sisters told her not to be like this, the He family would have to get along with the Huang family in the future, this time it had already hurt their peace.

Those of us who are servants should find ways to ease the conflict between the two families. If we still think about the kindness the young lady has shown you, we should accept the things. Mr. Huang should be happy when he finds out.

He Xiang had no choice but to agree to wait for the son to come back and then deal with it.

Huang Sheng didn't want to waste time in Shanhaiguan, so he immediately asked Ma Shihu to send a fast horse to inform his family to send a boat to Shanhaiguan to pick him up.

When the two arrived at the restaurant, the three brothers of the He family and He Kegang had ordered the food and drinks and were waiting.

Huang Sheng met He Kegang, a vigorous and fierce man, about 30 years old, very straightforward, he speaks quickly and has a military style without flamboyance, character determines destiny, no wonder he was sold by Zu Dashou in the end.

The attitudes of the three sons of the He family were different from Bai Tian's. Huang Sheng understood very well that human beings are like this, face is not given by others but earned by their own strength.

People who think that others are villains are often even more unbearable. Huang Sheng knows human nature well, and he has no intention of dealing with the He family at all. He didn't have a good conversation with their brothers.
