Chapter 737: Conquering the East River
"Great action? What big action?" Tang Jie asked immediately. Tang Jie was confused now. Unexpectedly, the one who stopped on the sea was the imperial navy. The imperial court finally remembered that there was a remnant army here and sent a navy to rescue them.
"I don't know the specific situation, but the navy commander said that you were going to clean up and follow them quickly. I'm just a standing station before the fight to see if there is any danger here. If not, I'll go back and report immediately. It's a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you, Tang San, in this place, so I have nothing to say. Everything is waiting for the general of the court to come ashore. You can talk to him, but I'll say, Lushun is already an empty city, and you haven't repaired it in recent years."
Tang San shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You know the conditions here. There is only such a small amount of manpower and no raw materials. What can we do to repair Lushun? That is, the Jin soldiers are fighting everywhere now and cannot control our people, so we can secretly go back and occupy Lushun. I think when the Jin soldiers come back to their senses, they will definitely gather a large army to attack Lushun again."
Luo Yong said: "No, Brother Tang, you are not right. The Jin soldiers will not be able to defeat Lushun at this time. You don't know that the imperial army beat Huang Taiji up to the point of urination. What, the navy you saw landed at the mouth of Liaohe River, raided the major salt fields of the Jin Kingdom, and beat the heartland of the Jin Kingdom. I don't know how many people Huang Taiji lost. In short, I heard from the heroes of the imperial army that Huang Taiji would not be able to recover in a few years."
Tang Jie widened his eyes, unable to believe Luo Yong's words. Over the years, Liaodong has been defending the Ming Dynasty and attacking the Jin Kingdom. As for the Dongjiang Army, it was actually just a sneak attack in the rear of the Jin Kingdom. If it really started fighting in front of the gong, how could the Dongjiang Army be the opponent of the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry? Luo Yong actually said that the court launched a counterattack and defeated the Eight Banners soldiers. This is not a fantasy. What is this? Luo Yong clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Let's talk about the specific things in the future. Don't worry, there are many days to meet in the future. The most urgent thing is to rush back and report the generals of the court come to meet you, Tang Saner. You have to seize the opportunity. Whether so many brothers can have a good meal or live a good life depends on your Tang Saner's decision."
An hour later, the Jin army led Wang Dalei and others to Tieshan Island on a sampan. Unexpectedly, Luo Yong met an acquaintance on the island. The Jin army believed that this conversation should be without suspense. These soldiers were like duckweed floating on the water. The biggest problem was that they had no foundation. Now they gave them a foundation themselves, hoping that they could understand the general's painstaking efforts.
"I am the guerrilla general of the Dongjiang Army. Who is the general?" On the dock, the Jin army, who had just got off the ship, welcomed Tang Jie's greeting. The Jin army clasped their fists and said, "I am the guerrilla general of the Jin army in the southern Zhili Navy of the Ming Dynasty. It is a great honor to see the heroes of the Dongjiang Army." Tang Jie immediately said politely: "I dare not take it, I dare not take it. It turns out that it was the General of Jin who was in front of me. It would be better for us to go to the big tent to talk."
Tang Jie made a gesture of invitation. He temporarily set up a large tent near the dock. As the place for negotiation, the deputy general led the way in front, and the group quickly entered the large tent. Tang Jie ordered his subordinates to serve tea to Jin Jun and others. Because they were on par, they sat opposite each other. Tang Jie said, "I heard Luo Yong say that the imperial army won a great victory and defeated Jianlu in Liaodong? I wonder if this matter?"
The Jin army smiled and said, "This matter is absolutely true. Please do not doubt it. Huang Taiji led his troops to attack Dalinghe City. The Liaodong army was defeated. The imperial court mobilized the world's troops to defend Liaodong. Two new troops from north and south Zhili joined forces to severely damage the Manchu and Mongolian coalition in Liaodong, killing more than 50,000 enemies. There is also a series of ambush and sneak attacks behind it. Conservative estimates are that except for the Mongolian soldiers, Huang Taiji's Eight Banners soldiers alone should have lost nearly half of them. They cannot recover." "Huh!" Tang Jie and the deputy generals behind him took a breath and actually wiped out the
Half of the Eight Banners soldiers are amazing. If the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army can be beheaded one level, they can be promoted to another level. If they beheaded one level 30,000, wouldn’t everyone beheaded one level? But the actual situation is that two or three Dongjiang Army soldiers can’t defeat one Eight Banners soldiers, and these Eight Banners soldiers are not so easy to fight. Seeing that Tang Jie had some suspicion in his eyes, the Jin army said, “Let’s do this, please move General Tang. I’ll demonstrate to General Tang and show you how we defeated Jianlu.”
When they heard that the generals from the court were going to demonstrate how to defeat the Jianlu, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were in anger and surrounded the big tent, wanting to see what the court had. The Dongjiang Army considered itself the most powerful army in the north, and even if the Liaodong Army came, they would not look down on it. However, the soldiers and horses in the mainland could still beat Jianlu.
"Wang Dalei, come and demonstrate." The Jin army pointed Wang Dalei's name. Wang Dalei responded, removed the Type 28 musket on his back, aimed at a wooden target that was standing up fifty steps away, loaded ammunition and aimed at shooting, loaded ammunition and aimed at shooting, and in just one cup of tea, dozens of rounds of ammunition were fired, making the barrel of the Type 28 musket red and hot. The wooden target that was fifty steps away had been crushed to pieces and turned into debris all over the ground. Silence, dead silence. When the white smoke of the musket dissipated, the soldiers came to their senses from the huge shock. Tang Jie's throat squirmed a few times. This, this, this, such a musket, my god, does the court actually have such powerful force?
Tang Jie suddenly knelt down at the north, burst into tears, and shouted: "Brothers, fellow villagers, have you seen it? Your great revenge, the king's army avenged you!" For a moment, the three armies cried, and the scene was extremely tragic. Every soldier present had his relatives killed by the Jin soldiers. The Dongjiang army went on one after another for so many years and didn't know how many brave men died. Seeing Wang Dalei Lu's move, Tang Jie believed it. If there were ten king Dalei, one hundred king Dalei, and ten thousand king Dalei, then such firepower was so terrifying. No wonder the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry would be defeated in front of such a musket formation. Even the Shenji Camp could not use such a magical gun technique. It seems that the Jin army did not lie to him, and Huang Taiji was indeed crippled.
The Jin army walked forward and patted Tang Jie on the shoulder, "General Tang, the dead are gone. We have avenged their deep blood hatred for them. Of course, we will not let Huang Taiji go. One day, the new army will cut off Huang Taiji's head and put it in front of the tombs of the soldiers and innocent people who died in vain to pay tribute to their spirits in heaven. But now, the living people must continue to live strongly. To be honest, the task assigned to me this time is to rescue you all, so I won't keep it in the dark. You should know Danluo Island in North Korea. Now Danluo Island has become the territory of the court army. We have established a powerful naval base on Danluo Island, but the new navy's troops are still insufficient. We urgently need soldiers with combat experience and brave combat to garrison Danluo Island to let the navy free up their hands and fight better. Do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Jie wiped away the tears on his face and stood up to the Jin army and said, "The general means to let our Dongjiang army stationed on Danluo Island? Assist in defense of Danluo Island?" The Jin army nodded, "That's right, I know that you have poor living conditions here, and there are more than 10,000 military and civilians here. Their life is too hard. The farmland on Danluo Island is fertile and the area is much larger than here. There are also horse farms, military ports, and even county towns. There are all facilities. There are thousands of new troops stationed there, but it is not enough. If you can go there, you will have everything. Look at these soldiers, you haven't had enough food for a long time. Don't worry, when you go there, you will have meat every meal and will pay everyone according to the court system. I guarantee that if I say half of the lies, if there is a lie, we will definitely lead everyone to counterattack Liaodong and completely defeat Huang Taiji."
Tang Jie looked at the brothers around him, yes, so many brothers are all pale and thin, and it is really hard to do it. If there is such a good place as the Jin army said, why not go? Anyway, they have no home anymore. The Jin army is right. What they want now is to survive and preserve their useful body. When the time comes, I will give the Jin soldiers a ruthless move. "What do you mean?" Tang Jie asked the generals. Look at me, I will look at you, and the deputy general stepped forward and said, "I will go." Everyone knelt down on one knee together.
He said, "We are willing to go." Tang Jie nodded and turned around to ask the Jin army, "General Jin, what are the conditions?" The Jin army pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid the entire army's organization will be disrupted. We will reorganize you. General Tang, you may no longer be the chief general of this Dongjiang army. You have no intention of seizing military power. But since the Dongjiang army agreed to join the court army, the Dongjiang army's organization will no longer exist. From today on, you will be soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I hope General Tang can..."
Before the Jin army finished speaking, Tang Jie laughed and said, "I still think it's something, isn't it just a leader? I've been loved by everyone during this period and made me the leader. If the imperial army arrives, everything will be natural, but it depends on the king's army. Not to mention a guerrilla, as long as these more than 10,000 soldiers and civilians can live a good life, I will have no complaints even if I am a front pawn." After that, Tang Jie knelt down and said, "The last general, Tang Jie, meet the general Jin!" Everyone behind him clasped their fists and shouted, "The last general, meet the general Jin."
