Phi Island, known as Chudao to Koreans, is not large in western area, but it is located at the hub of the Liaodong Peninsula and the Korean Peninsula, occupying an important position.
For fifteen years, the Ming army used this island as a base, constantly harassing Huifa, Yaozhou, Anshanyi, Sarhu and other places in the rear of the Qing army, making the Qing army unable to sleep well at night.
At that time, the Qing government dispatched heavy troops to deal with Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Pingliao and the left governor of the Ming Dynasty. Marshal Mao was helpless and withdrew into North Korea. King Li Hui of North Korea was afraid that he would introduce disaster into North Korea, so he persuaded the Manchu and Qing troops not to practice water warfare.
He hid on the leather island.
Marshal Mao led the remnants of his troops to Phi Island and fell in love with the island as soon as he arrived. It was a good place. It straddled the mouth of the Yalu River and could go up the river at any time to harass the Tatar rear.
So he asked his subordinates the name of the island, and the subordinates replied: Chu Island. Marshal Mao laughed loudly after hearing this, "My surname is Mao. If Pi is gone, how can General Mao attach himself to it? Change the name, and let's call it Pi Island from now on!"
”
In this way, Chu Island became Pi Island.
Marshal Mao was so domineering that he not only changed the name of Chu Island, but also changed the name of Shenmi Island where Yang Huaibu is currently stationed. "This commander-in-chief is a dragon, Yun Conglong and Feng Conghu. From now on, this Shenmi Island will be renamed '
Yuncong Island'".
Marshal Mao was so crazy that he offended Marshal Yuan and was slaughtered. There were three civil strife on the island. The Qing army took advantage of the situation and united with North Korea to capture Pi Island, and burned the camps and fortifications on the island. At this time, Huang Taiji had forced North Korea to surrender.
Release "goodwill" and return Pi Island to North Korea, and North Korea will move the Han people on the island to Pingan Road.
As a result, Phi Island became a barren land.
It is said that Pi Island was returned to North Korea. The Qing Zhenjiang (Jiulian City) garrison, First Class Ang Bang Zhangjing (First Class Viscount) Ma Guangyuan often sent Zhangzi Island garrison to Pi Island to check whether there were any anti-Qing forces on the island.
on activities.
The Pingliao army led by General Yang Huai of the Ming Dynasty set out, with 10,000 naval divisions, 20,000 land divisions and 10,000 Korean elite troops. They walked up the Yalu River by water. The first target was Pi Island. Of course, Pingliao
There are more than 40,000 troops, and there are 60,000 "big troops", led by North Korean leader Zheng Taihe and military commander Won Do-pyo. They take the land route and slowly approach Uiju.
The Ming army was led by sixty warships led by Dang Hu Bo and Ruan Jin.
Pi Island is already a deserted island. There were originally no soldiers, but there were fifteen Qing troops here at this time. It turned out that the defenders of Zhangzi Island sent a small boat to patrol Pi Island.
"No, the enemy is attacking, leave quickly!"
When they saw the Ming army warships and the fifteen Zhenglan Banner Han soldiers all over the mountains and seas, they were so frightened that they rowed away.
Their boat is just a dragon boat that relies on oars to row, and the speed is very slow.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
As the warship of Ruan Jun, the commander of the Ming Navy, spewed out tongues of fire, the dragon boat sank to the bottom of the sea with fifteen Eight Banners Han troops.
In the first battle, the Ming army captured Pi Island with zero casualties and annihilated fifteen enemies.
??
Yang Huai left a thousand soldiers to garrison Pi Island and led his army to kill Zhangzi Island at the mouth of the Yalu River.
There are much more defenders here than on Pi Island. There are three hundred troops of the Zhenglan Banner Han Army stationed there.
"Boom boom boom boom boom??"
After several rounds of fierce shelling, half of the Qing troops on the island were killed or injured.
"Kill", Gu Zhong, the general of the Ming Dynasty, was the first to land on the island. He cut off the head of Qing Niulu Zhangjing with a fierce and sharp knife. He was a big pirate and always fought fiercely. He was nicknamed: "Yokozuna Gu San".<
/p>
In the second battle, the Ming army wiped out 300 defenders at the cost of more than ten casualties and captured Zhangzi Island.
??
Yang Huai left 500 troops to guard the island. The infantry landed at the mouth of the Yalu River. The navy moved north along the river and attacked Zhenjiang Fort (Jiulian City).
The grass on the banks of Jiulian City is lush and soft, and the dusk smoke grows in the head of Yalujin.
The birds singing on the other side are different from each other, and the people across the river are talking in the same sky.
Huang Ren was selfless in nature, and the sea country was always devoted to Shuo.
Pay close attention to the border guards and don't teach woodcutter and herders to disturb Dongtian.
Zhenjiang Fort, also known as Jiuliancheng, has been the place for "mutual trade" between China and North Korea since the Yuan Dynasty. It is also the only way for North Korea to pay tribute to China. Because it is located on an important road, nine castles of various sizes have been built.
, nine cities are connected, hence the name Jiulian City.
There were really nine cities in the past, but after hundreds of years, only Zhenjiang City built by the Ming Dynasty and a small city in the south of Zhenjiang City were left.
The guard general of Zhenjiang is not an ordinary person, but a senior traitor, Angbang Zhang Jingma Guangyuan. He surrendered to the Qing Dynasty very early, earlier than King Sanshun. He is a veteran of the Huangtaiji era. He made great contributions to the Qing court by making suggestions. p>
Originally, this man had already retired to his official position and was retiring at home. Emperor Guangwu attacked the Manchu Qing Dynasty too hard, and countless famous Manchu generals died. Emperor Shunzhi had no choice but to re-employ some veterans. He hoped that these veteran generals who had experienced hundreds of battles would help him turn the tide of the war.
.
It was against this backdrop that First Class Ang Bangzhang Jingma Guangyuan came to Zhenjiang Fort and took office.
He did not avoid relatives in internal promotions. As soon as he took office, he recommended his son Ma Siwen to Emperor Shunzhi, "My minister Siwen has a strong temperament and is good at military affairs."
Emperor Shunzhi was overjoyed when he saw it. The war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties was in full swing. How could he not use such a talented general? He immediately appointed Ma Siwen as Maile Zhangjing and stationed in Zhenjiang with his father.
??
"This Jiulian City has the Juhe River and the Yalu River in the east, and Zhendong Mountain in the back. The situation is dangerous and difficult to fight." Yang Huai held a telescope and observed the terrain and couldn't help but frown.
Li Huan, the general of the North Korean imperial camp, reported: "The last general escorted envoys to Beijing to pay tribute and passed here. This city was built on the edge of the Gehe River. The Gehe River may not look wide, but in fact it is very deep and can pass warships. It is very large.
The commander-in-chief can order the warships to sail into the Sihe River and bombard the city walls. This city will be defeated."
"Good!"
Yang Huai followed Li Huan's plan and ordered Ruan Jin and Gu Zhong to lead more than a hundred warships into the Gehe River.
First attack the small town south of Zhenjiang City. The small town is garrisoned by Mele Zhang Jingma Siwen and 2,000 soldiers.
"Boom, boom, boom??"
The huge cannons on the Ming army's warships blasted the small town to the point of collapse.
"Zhang Jing, if this continues, the city will be lost. At the end of the day, the general asked to lead the small boat to burn the enemy ships." Jia La Zhang Jing Zha La offered advice.
"Here comes Lao Zha Lazhang Jing." Ma Siwen bowed his hand towards Zha La.
Zha La is originally from the Xibo tribe. His ancestors surrendered to the Qing Dynasty earlier. He joined the banner and joined the Eight Banners Han Army Jia La Ezhen. He was loyal to the Qing court. Then he opened the water gate, led a thousand soldiers, took a small boat, a fire boat, and rowed
He took up the oar and rushed towards the Ming Navy.
Half of the boat was lost and finally approached the Ming army.
"Light the fire", Zara gritted his teeth and issued the military order. One by one, the boats caught fire and slowly sailed towards the Ming army.
"Each team keeps a distance, the front team hits them with clap poles and tops with bamboo poles, and the rear team uses artillery to bombard them," Ruan Jin issued the military order coldly.
This Uncle Huber has fought countless water battles and is very experienced in how to deal with fire attacks.
The warships in the front team either smashed the fireships with sticks or used bamboo poles to hold the fireships. The warships in the rear team kept a distance from the front team so that even if the front team caught fire, they would not be able to burn them. They also used artillery to bombard the fireships.
Not only that, the Ming army also covered the weakly defended parts of the warship with rawhide that was not easy to catch fire.
Soon, the Qing army's fireboat was annihilated, and Zala was also shot and killed.
"Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories! Ten thousand victories!"
Deafening cheers resounded along the banks of the Gehe River, and countless carriages, ladders, and goose carriages approached the small town.
"Zhang Jing, I will escort you to break out of the siege and go to Zhenjiang City to meet the commander-in-chief," Jia Hu, the leader of the Guards, said to Ma Siwen.
"Ke~ke~ke~"
Ma Siwen's teeth chattered and his face turned pale. After a long while, he said: "The Ming army is heavily besieged and cannot break out. This city will be destroyed. What's the use of dying? Surrender by lowering the flag!"
