Chapter 5 Chasing Troops

Although there are many large and small islands in the Bohai Sea between Jiaodong and Liaodong, Wei Liangchen was not satisfied because these islands are small in size and are not suitable for developing military ports. The wind season has too many disadvantages, so he ordered the navy to go straight to Jinzhou.

On the 14th, the fleet arrived at Lushunkou via Laotieshan River. The original name of this place was Shizikou. In the fourth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu sent Jack Ma and Ye Wang to lead his army to cross the sea from Shandong to recover Liaodong. Because of the smooth sailing of the sea, Shizikou was renamed Lushunkou and has been used to this day.

After landing, Wei Liangchen asked Jiang Fangyin and Wang Weidong who were boarding the ship in Tianjin to go to the Zhongzuo Institution of Jinzhou to contact the guerrilla Shang Xueli, and ordered the surrendered Japanese and the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army to bring Lushunkou to board the ship south.

Soon, Wang Weidong came to report urgently, saying that two days ago, Li Chengliang's seven sons Li Rubai came to Jinzhou and brought all the surrendered Japanese troops and the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army to Gaizhou.

When Wei Liangchen heard this, he was frightened and furious, and hurriedly led his horses to the Zhongzuo Inn of Jinzhou. At that time, monk Jiang Fangyin was in a conversation. He knew that Jiang Fangyin was a staff member who was the old benefactor, so Shang Xueli felt very guilty.

"This matter has nothing to do with you, it's all that the Li family bullies others too much."

Jiang Fangyin comforted him a few words, saying that Shang Xueli was just a guerrilla in the middle of the left, and Li Ruwu, the seventh son of the Li family, came to mention that people were not something that could be resisted by small guerrillas. When he saw Wei Liangchen who was rushing to come, he hurried forward to explain the situation in detail.

Shang Xueli did not recognize Wei Liangchen, but when he saw that the other party was an eunuch in the palace, Jiang Fangyin was very respectful to him and did not dare to neglect him.

"Bao Chengxian?"

Li Ruwu, the seven sons of Li Chengliang, did not let Wei Liangchen change his color, but the helping Gaizhou gang general Bao Chengxian made Wei Liangchen raise his eyebrows.

The reason is that Li Ruwu is a small role, but Bao Chengxian is a big traitor with great reputation!

Bao Chengxian was quite hateful, and he was even worse than the Sanshun King who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty during the Tianqi period. It was probably because he made too much effort in Manzhou, and his greatest ability was to recruit surrender and rebel.

After surrendering to the Jin Dynasty, he served as the deputy general to attack Hong Tai, and followed Jiergalang from Longjing Pass to attack Malanyu, and recruited surrendered defenders. When he arrived at the city of Beijing, he also recruited eunuchs from the Imperial Horse Supervisor, the horse farm, which caused thousands of high-quality war horses in the capital of the Ming army to be criticized in Manzhou. It is rumored that the idea of ​​killing Yuan Chonghuan with counter-espionage was that Bao Chengxian came out.

Bao had a very high status in Manzhou. It can be said that he was the first cabinet chief in Manzhou. The political system of the Later Jin Dynasty was mostly helped by Bao Chengxian to improve it. The latter Kings of Sanshun and a large number of Ming army generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were also recruited by Bao Chengxian. Hong Taizhu became emperor and Bao Chengxian was the leader of persuading him to advance.

To be more precise, Bao Chengxian is very similar to Wu Yong, a military advisor in Water Margin, and he truly made great contributions to the foundation of Manzhou.

His achievements, such as Fan Wencheng, Ning Wan, and others are not as good as those of us.

"Father-in-law, what should I do now?" Jiang Fangyin was a little confused.

Wei Liangchen waved his hand: "It's only two days, I can't walk far, just chase me." After saying that, he looked at Shang Xueli on Moli's side, "I'll give all the war horses in the guerrillas to our house, and I'll give you back after the matter."

After saying that, throw out your famous post.

Shang Xueli hesitated for a moment, took the famous post and ordered his subordinates to hand over more than a hundred horses from the institute. Wei Liangchen nodded, and saw that there was a young man beside Shang Xueli's side with a pretty good appearance and loyal face. He asked who he was. When he learned that Shang's eldest son could go in, he clicked to lead the way.

Shang Kejin hesitated and looked at his father. Shang Xueli couldn't think of leading the way. If he refused, he might make this Eunuch Wei angry. He would also easily call the old benefactor to be despised, so he signaled that he could go and lead the way quickly.

Wei Liangchen had nothing else to say about Shang Xueli. Shang Ke was about twenty years old, and he thought that Shang Ke was only ten years old. Although this son was a traitor, his father and brother were still there at this time, and history would be changed due to the arrival of Eunuch Wei, so there was no need to kill Shang Ke Ke Ke for the impossible history. Just as Eunuch Wei could not send someone to northern Shaanxi to find Li Zicheng, who was only five years old.

The Ming Dynasty was not good at it, so why blame others for rebelling for their lives?

To the north of Jinzhou, you must pass Nanguan, and there is a Muchang Station between them.

Under the order of Li Ruwu, the Gaizhou general Bao Chengxian led his troops to escort the surrendered Japanese and Feihuyu to Gaizhou. Because the team had more than a thousand people and were slow to move, he arrived at Muchangyi two days later, which was more than 40 miles away from Nanguan. After passing Nanguan, it was Jinzhou Acropolis. From north to north is Fuzhou, Gaizhou to Guangning, and the official road from Chenyang to east is Dingliao Youwei, the official road of the Korean Kingdom, Kuandian Liubao is located at the easternmost end of this official road, and is now under the jurisdiction of Jianzhou.

Li Ruwu told Bao Cheng to go to the Jinzhou Acropolis first. In order to prevent the surrendered Japanese and the bandits of the Flying Tiger Army from escaping, Li Ruwu handed over his guard to Bao Chengxian and gave Bao Chengxian a strict order to prevent one person from escaping. If anyone dared to run away, he could kill him on the spot.

Bao Chengxian was determined to show his intentions in front of Li Ruwu, and he actively took the orders and urged everyone to drive them away. He blamed and beat them very much, causing the remaining Feihu troops to complain and surrender to the Japanese. Small-scale conflicts occurred from time to time, but they were all suppressed by Bao Chengxian's troops.

When we arrived at Muchangyi, it rained heavily.

Muchang Post is just a post station, how can there be a place to accommodate everyone to shelter from the rain? Bao Chengxian asked the remaining troops of surrendered Japanese and Feihu to go outside, and led the officers and soldiers into the post station to hide. This made more than a thousand people outside miserable.

After the rain stopped, a rainbow soon appeared in the sky, and the sun also emerged from the dark clouds.

Bao Chengxian led his subordinates out of the post and ordered the surrendered Japanese to continue to advance north. Ning Wan, the disciple who came yesterday, saw the surrendered Japanese and the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army struggling in the mud, and there was a trace of worry inexplicably in his eyes.

"General, these past are strong men. Although they are naked, every man is angry. To prevent accidents, I thought he should escort them in batches, and first choose the strong ones to advance north and then the others to solve the rest."

I would rather let Bao Chengxian do what I said. At this time, his troops and Li Ruwu's guards had only a few hundred people, but there were more than a thousand people surrendered to the Japanese and Feihu. If they really attacked, even if they were not afraid, it would be difficult for anyone to escape in the chaos. Therefore, they asked their subordinates to choose one or two hundred strong men to escape.

He asked Ning Wan again: "Is there any soldiers coming from Nanguan?"

Ning Wan said, "Young Master Qi has already greeted me when I was there, and I think I am on the road due to the wind and rain."

Bao Chengxian nodded and signaled Ning Wan to follow him. He valued Ning Wan. Although this person has no fame, he is proficient in literature and history and has a very flexible mind. However, if you have any questions, you can give reasonable suggestions as long as you ask. He is really a rare talent.

On the other hand, Bao Zhi's subordinates were ordered to select strong people from the crowd, which caused the long team to riot. However, under the threat of the Ming army's swords, whether it was the Japanese who surrendered to the Japanese or the remaining troops of the Flying Tiger Army, they dared not speak out, and allowed the Ming army to pick people. In a short while, more than 200 strong people were drawn, including Shen Shikui and Liu Xingxian.

"Damn it, let's not let us hide from the rain, why should we separate us out?" Liu Xingxian cursed.

Shen Shikui did not make any noise. Although he was a city vendor, he was also very knowledgeable and knew that the officers and soldiers' actions were just to prevent them from causing trouble.

After Bao Cheng was elected first, he asked Li Ruwu's personal army captain Li Mingguo to lead his troops to remove the people first.

"Your Mahjong also left first. On the way, he met the soldiers from Nanguan and told them to come quickly," Bao Chengxian gave a few instructions, but the sound of horse hooves came from afar, and then hundreds of horsemen galloped on the official road.
