Running along the coastline, Liu Ruyi's army was not harassed too much by the Qing army along the way!
In this era, the sea is still an unknown and terrifying place for human beings!
Even the talented and strategic Huang Taiji did not really realize that the age of the ocean was about to truly come!
Historically, due to various reasons, later generations saw many of the evaluations of Huang Taiji that were not positive enough or true enough!
Based on what Liu Ruyi has seen and heard over the years, including the results of his personal battle with the Qing army, he can make a simple evaluation of Huang Taiji!
From this era, which is currently the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, starting from 1640 AD, counting up to three hundred years, except for the cowherd boy Zhu Chongba, counting down to the next three hundred years, except for the talented Taizu, there will be no one.
No one can compare with Huang Taiji!
His mind, his perseverance, his strategy, his vision, his persistence, his skill, and his decisiveness, even if Genghis Khan was alive, he might not be able to surpass him!
Genghis Khan's chariot relied on killing and intimidation, but Huang Taiji used a kitchen knife in one hand and gold and silver in the other to win over Mongolia. In the long run, the latter will be safer after all!
And with his status as the ninth son of the emperor, coming to Dabao from among the four Baylors, as well as uncles and nephews who are like wolves and tigers, has already proved his ability!
If Liu Ruyi was not a time traveler and had five hundred years of experience in his past and present lives, it would probably be a disaster if he were his enemy!
However, this fat man may be destined to reincarnate, and his body is the biggest obstacle restricting him!
At this time, after marching all night and slaughtering hundreds of Qing army sentries, Liu Ruyi's army finally arrived at the rocky beach east of Songshan City.
Since the east side is close to the sea, the Qing army did not deploy troops here, but the south, north, and west sides of Songshan City were already tightly surrounded by the Qing army!
Liu Ruyi was not in a hurry to enter Songshan City, but ordered his soldiers to stand ready and quickly began to build fortifications!
From the soft mud side of the beach edge, vigorously dig trenches and build earth walls!
Having had many experiences in building fortifications, the soldiers of the Caishi Army were already familiar with all this. Wang Pu's Datong Army had followed Liu Ruyi these days and also followed behind the Caishi Army.
It's only superficial, so the entire fortification process is progressing very quickly.
By ten minutes past noon, a prototype was already in place!
The supplies that came by sea also reached the coast.
Liu Ruyi ordered the soldiers to send a signal to Songshan City. On the other side, the Qing army's sentinels also discovered the sudden fortifications on the east side of Songshan City.
However, the basic structure of the fortifications was completed, and the Qing army sentries did not dare to approach, otherwise they would be severely attacked by the cannon soldiers. They only dared to spy on the periphery and quickly reported to Dorgon!
Soon, there was a response from Songshan City. They were looking forward to Liu Ruyi's supplies, just like a baby looks forward to its parents, and a drought girl looks forward to rain and dew. Immediately, Hong Chengchou ordered Wu Sangui to send 10,000 elite cavalry to personally welcome Liu Ruyi into the city!
Soon, as the supplies on the boat were completed, Liu Ruyi ordered Huolang and Pu Sheng to continue to increase their efforts to build seaside fortifications, and then followed Wu Sangui to transport the small amount of grain and grass supplies to Songshan City.

"Liu Ruyi, a low-ranking official, please see Hong Du!" In Hong Chengchou's official office, Liu Ruyi met Hong Chengchou again after a long absence!
However, Hong Chengchou seemed to have aged ten years, and Liu Ruyi could no longer find the calmness and confidence that he exuded in his memory!
"It's good that you came, it's good that you came! Liu Junmen, thank you for your hard work, thank you for your hard work! Was it a smooth journey? How much food and grass did you escort this time?"
Hong Chengchou stepped back and asked Liu Ruyi several questions in succession.
Liu Ruyi couldn't help but was startled, but after a moment, she hurriedly explained: "Director Hong, this time, Beiji took the waterway. Since there was no big ship, the food and grass escorted this time was not much! However, Beiji had a way. Solve the problem of food and grass supply for the army!"
"Oh? What can you do? Tell me quickly?" Hong Chengchou had really been suppressed for too long. Upon hearing Liu Ruyi's words, he quickly held Liu Ruyi's hand and said anxiously.
Liu Ruyi calmed down and hurriedly gave a brief account of the raid on Shenyang and the escort of grain and grass to Hong Chengchou.
When Hong Chengchou heard what Liu Ruyi said, his mouth grew very big. It took him a long time before he realized what he was saying.
"I asked, why has the pressure of the Qing army weakened slightly in the past few days? It turns out that Liu Junmen, you actually made such a big move! Now, the situation is actually in our favor!" Hong Chengchou murmured to himself.
"It's just that if we don't solve the problem of food and grass, it won't have much practical effect for us!" Hong Chengchou said again.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Director Hong, the food and fodder you brought with me this time is probably enough for the army for three days! These three days are enough for me to solve the army's food and fodder problem!"
When Hong Chengchou saw that Liu Ruyi didn't say anything, he didn't hesitate to ask. In this situation, Liu Ruyi came to his rescue alone, which already gave him a lot of face. He didn't want to fall out with Liu Ruyi, so he hurriedly said: "Liu Junmen, this time, really Thank you for your hard work! If I hadn’t been so anxious, the situation wouldn’t have been like this! Hey, all of this is my fault!”
Seeing Hong Chengchou like this, Liu Ruyi felt extremely uncomfortable. Although Liu Ruyi didn't have much affection for Hong Chengchou, at this moment, Hong Chengchou couldn't fall!
"Hong Du, it seems that the Qing army has not yet launched a general offensive. This is actually an extremely good thing for us! If it is difficult for us here, it will be even more difficult for the Qing army! I am about to leave my humble post. , a fire was lit in Shenyang City! This fire is probably enough to keep Huang Taiji busy! You can rest assured for now, I am willing to issue a military order here. Within three days, we will definitely meet the food and grass needs of the army. !" Liu Ruyi said confidently.
Hong Chengchou was startled, and it took him a long time to react, "Liu Junmen, can you really provide food and fodder for the army?"
Liu Ruyi nodded heavily, "Director Hong, this time, the brothers under my humble command suffered heavy casualties, so we can only do our little bit for Governor Hong! On the frontal battlefield, we still have to rely on Governor Hong and the generals! We Ming Dynasty, this battle must be won!"
"Okay! That's good!" Hong Chengchou was startled after hearing this, and the familiar confidence reappeared on his face, "Liu Junmen, you are different from those people! I believe in you! What do you need? , how many manpower are needed, just ask me! As long as you can maintain the supply of food and grass for the army, I will promise you anything!"
Liu Ruyi's lips curled up slightly. What he was waiting for was Hong Chengchou's words, "Director Hong, the way to humble yourself is to rely on the sea. Therefore, the East Gate area must be strictly guarded! Based on my humble opinion, you can
Order Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao to station troops outside the east gate and assist humble officials in meeting the food and grass needs of the army!"
"Okay! Everything is as Liu Junmen said! Come here, hurry up and order Wang Tingchen and Cao Bianjiao to go outside the east gate and follow Liu Junmen's orders!"
"Brother Liu, I never thought that our brothers would meet again!" Outside the east gate, Wang Tingchen held Liu Ruyi's hand for a long time and refused to let go!
On the side, Cao Bianjiao also had tears in his eyes, but he pretended to be bold and said: "Brother Liu, I am so happy to hear that you defeated the Tatar Shengjing City! Hahaha! We brothers can finally drink together again!"
Liu Ruyi understood what they were thinking, "Brother Wang, Brother Cao, let's continue chatting later! You two can ask your brothers to set up camp here! Just like the camp of my Colored Stone Army! I will send
Someone is here to guide the two brothers! And I have left a little bit of the food, grass and supplies for you! Tonight, the brothers can have a good meal!"
"Brother Liu..." The two of them didn't expect Liu Ruyi to be so attentive, and they were even more moved!
Liu Ruyi patted the two of them heavily on the shoulders, "Both brothers are both good men, how can they be like mothers-in-law and mothers-in-law! Haha! Let's say goodbye for now. After the fortifications are built, we can have a drink and have a good time!"
"Okay! Okay!" The two of them were worried about Liu Ruyi's safety, so they personally led their elite servants to escort Liu Ruyi to the Caishi Army's seaside camp, and then reluctantly turned back.
~~~~
Soon, Liu Ruyi, Wang Pu, Wang Tingchen, and Cao Bianjiao started a large-scale construction project outside the east gate of Songshan City and accelerated the construction of various fortifications!
Although the Qing army was aware of it, they did not understand what the Ming army was going to do. For a while, they only dared to wait and see, but did not dare to step forward!
One day later, several fortifications had begun to take shape, especially the coastal fortifications of Liu Ruyi's Caishi Army. Because they were mixed with fine sand and mud, they were extremely strong. Unless the Qing army could mobilize the powerful red cannons,
Otherwise, it will be difficult to break into!
At this moment, Liu Ruyi's 'fishery salvage fleet' was basically ready and gathered together at the beach, ready to set off.
With Pu Sheng and Xiao Liuer guarding the camp, Liu Ruyi personally led the team and led these seven or eight hundred boats to the vast sea!
"General, the brothers are all ready! We can start implementing it!" Huo Lang reported to Liu Ruyi on the boat next to him.
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Don't be impatient and keep your distance! Follow my orders!"
"yes!"
~~~
Seven or eight hundred small boats, connected end to end, are like a straight line, gradually bending in an arc, forming a huge circle.
Soon, there were more than a dozen small boats, quickly heading towards the dot in the center of the circle.
Not long after, the boat in the middle raised the signal flag, signaling that it was ready!
Liu Ruyi nodded and said to the soldiers beside him: "Okay, send the signal!"
"yes!"
For a moment, "swish, swish, swish", several shrill arrows streaked across the sky.
In the middle of the sea, the soldiers on the small boat lit the fuses of huge mines one after another, and threw them vigorously onto the surrounding sea!
"Boom boom boom..."
The explosion set off a huge splash of water, and the sea surface was tumbling.
Fortunately, there were experienced demolition crews on these small boats, who were well prepared and kept a good distance. Otherwise, they might have been overturned directly into the sea by these huge waves!
Not long after, the sea surface suddenly glowed with sparkling lights, and countless big and small fish floated on the water with white bellies!
"It's done! It's done!" The soldiers couldn't help but cheer!
Liu Ruyi also had a smile on her lips!
This is a very simple principle, which is to use the impact force generated by the explosive blast to kill and stun the fish living on the surface of the sea.
In this way, the small boats formed in a circle can use the fishing net to catch all these fish!
This method was often used in the small reservoir in Liu Ruyi's hometown when he was a child. However, later, with the improvement of various protection laws, this method was banned due to its certain dangers!
However, this is now in Ming Dynasty, there are not so many so-called organizations, these obstacles, otherwise they would not exist!
Moreover, at this time, the fishing methods of fishermen were extremely simple and the number of fishermen was small. This blue sea was rich in fishery resources and contained endless treasures!
It is more than enough to feed the hundreds of thousands of Ming troops in Songshan City!
This is also the main reason why Liu Ruyi dared to vouch for Hong Chengchou!
