Start Being a Vassal King Today - Chapter 444

[Chapter 444]

.

Zhao Xu looked to the northeast.

At this moment, Mo Yu was standing in front of him like a primary school student who made a mistake, holding a piece of paper in his hand and reading something.

“…The matter of Beidi’s death was all caused by negligence. From now on, we will take strict precautions to prevent such things from happening again.” Mo Yu let out a heavy breath, and pulled his head down.

“Besides that, I will punish you with half a year’s salary as a warning to others.” Zhao Xu said.

After the death of Beidi was exposed, Mo Yu pleaded guilty to him.

But at that time, he had just won a big victory at sea a few days ago, so he ignored it for the time being.

When he came to Yanguan this time, he asked Mo Yu to write a letter of guilt and read it to him, which is actually equivalent to a contemporary self-criticism.

“Besides that, you will be allowed to assume the position of Yanguan Guard for the time being, but if there are any mistakes within a year, this king will cut your position.” Zhao Xu said.

This time the Yuan family played a trick similar to a Trojan horse, and it was indeed very tricky.

Even he was negligent.

However, since this incident happened, someone must be held accountable.

Of course, his purpose is not to punish the generals, but to alert the entire army through punishment.

Let them think a little more after encountering similar incidents in the future.

“Yes, Your Highness, I will accept the punishment in the end.” Mo Yu bowed her body.

He knew very well that King Yan had already lenient him.

If he was not punished, he would feel bad about it.

After accepting Mo Yu’s letter of guilt, Zhao Xu stopped mentioning the matter, but said, “Zhou Yi and Bai Shang should go to Chrysanthemum Island.”

The modern name of this Chrysanthemum Island is Juehua Island, located in Liaoning Province On the sea to the east.

This time, before Zhou Yi and Bai Shang set off, he specifically told them to take the island.

Because of the sailing warships, as long as they occupy Juhua Island, it is impossible for Beidi to get it back.

At that time, this small island will become a pawn he placed in Ning Jindu Division.

“It is indeed time.” Mo Yu said, “His Royal Highness, do you want the general to lead the troops back?

” That’s the most important thing.”

When Chang Wei went south to Fan Yang, he specifically explained it.

Order him to rob all the wealthy families in the three southern counties, burn all the land deeds, and drive all the people out.

In general, it is to take everything that can be taken away.

As a result, the three southern counties became a barren land for the rich.

He can take the opportunity to ask Zhao Heng for it, after all, he has made great contributions this time.

Of course, the premise is that Zhongli and his party can save Zhao Heng.

When Zhao Xu was thinking about it, Zhongli and his party had already entered the border of Sizhou.

Upon hearing the news, Ma Han immediately led his troops to meet him.

Under the escort of Ma’s soldiers, Ma Han accompanied Zhongli and his party to Qinguan.

“Captain Zhongli really doesn’t need the help of my Ma family’s troops?” Ma Han hesitated.

After withdrawing from Xiangcheng to Sizhou, he sent someone to see King Yan and ask him for his opinion.

King Yan just let them stick to Qin Pass.

Originally, he thought that King Yan meant that he would lead an army to rescue the emperor himself, but he didn’t expect to send only a thousand cavalry and three carriages that seemed to be loaded with luggage.

“Mazhou Mu doesn’t need to worry, it’s inconvenient if there are too many people, rest for a while, we will set off at night, if we can rescue the emperor, we will go here.” Zhongli cupped his hands.

Zhong Li’s confident expression made Ma Han more puzzled.

It’s just that since Zhong Li didn’t take the initiative to say it, he didn’t ask.

King Yan and his subordinates have always acted independently.

Sometimes it is difficult for him to understand.

Thinking of this, he just ordered the generals of the Ma family to take good care of Zhongli and his party.

…

Anxian County.

After half a day of sailing, the fleet arrived in the nearby waters.

It was almost dusk at this moment, and the entire sea was dyed the red color of burning clouds.

Zhou Yi and Bai Shang discussed it and planned to rest on the boat overnight before launching an attack on the iron mine in An County the next day.

Yang Zhen sat on the ground, holding a flintlock gun in one hand, kept looking at it, and kept exclaiming in his mouth.

After boarding the battleship, he had an illusion.

It was as if I had stayed on the island for ten years, and the outside world had passed a hundred years.

Otherwise, how could the firecracker become such a huge artillery.

There is also this kind of miniaturized iron cannon that everyone can hold in their hands to kill the enemy.

Especially when Bai Shang ordered the soldiers to shoot at him, his body was trembling slightly.

He could only express his shock by murmuring “really amazing” repeatedly.

In addition to the shock, it was the ensuing ecstasy and tears.

For him, there is hope for regaining Ning Jin Dusi.

He is willing to be an unknown soldier in King Yan’s army and witness this day in the future.

After one night.

The next day, ten battleships lowered their boats.

Under the leadership of Bai Shang, the soldiers of the palace boarded the coast.

Zhou Yi and the navy soldiers are guarding here, waiting for their return.

“The iron mine is twenty miles northwest of An County.” Yang Zhen pointed to the map, “It is absolutely possible to march boldly. Beidi people are very conceited and have always been negligent in guarding their hinterland. It is impossible to predict that King Yan’s troops will come. .”

Bai Shang nodded, and immediately ordered the soldiers to go northwest along the official road.

Along the way, they passed through many deserted villages.

This used to be the village of Dasong people.

After Beidi occupied this place, he turned them into slaves, and let the village and nearby fields be covered with weeds, turning them into a racetrack.

On the way, they also encountered some Beidi people grazing.

Seeing a strange army approaching, they fled one after another.

Bai Shang didn’t go after them either, if he wanted them to spread the news that Da Song’s army appeared here.

After about an hour, an iron ore mine appeared in front of everyone.

At this time, the people of Dasong in iron mines in shackles were wielding chisels to chisel stones.

Beidi soldiers took whips and lashed at the people who fell to the ground due to exhaustion from time to time.

The appearance of their group immediately attracted the attention of Beidi soldiers.

“Woooooo…” The familiar horn sounded.

Not long after, 500 Beidi soldiers poured out from the corner of the mine.

Archers filled the four sentry towers with bows.

“I thought His Highness gave less than 6,000 people, but I didn’t expect to give too much.” Bai Shang gritted his teeth and scratched his head.

Obviously, these 500 Beidi soldiers were just supervising the people.

The mine is not guarded by a dedicated army.

“Kill them!” The smile on Bai Shang’s face disappeared suddenly, and he shouted to the generals beside him.

“Kill!” The

soldiers of the palace roared, all of them were in high spirits.

This time they attacked Beidi soldiers in the hinterland of Beidi, which was much more enjoyable than staying in Yanguan and being beaten passively.

“Bang bang bang…” The

generals scrambled to lead the soldiers under their command to kill them.

They all want to grab the top spot.

In this way, when they go back, they can also brag while drinking.

Beidi soldiers have long been frightened by the sudden appearance of the army.

They all had a question in their minds, how did this big song army come to An County.

It’s just that they will soon be unable to think forever.

Dense lead bullets beat them into a sieve.
