The little open-pit oil obtained enriched the Xia army's arsenal.
Under Zuo Mengeng's guidance, Xia Jun obtained a variety of oils through local refining methods.
Some were filled into rockets, which played a vital role in the Battle of Tsushima. Others were made into Molotov cocktails by Xia army soldiers, which effectively resisted the Qing army's attack in this battle.
The method of setting off smoke did not work, so Hauge had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
"Arrange elite troops to attack the mountain overnight. I don't believe it. Can these Xia army's guns be so accurate at night?"
Haug prepares for a night battle.
But at night, seeing the situation on Jinjing Mountain, he had no choice but to cancel the order.
Xia Jun lit piles of bonfires halfway up the mountainside, illuminating the entire hillside like daylight.
If we attack under such circumstances, it will only be the Qing army that will encounter difficulties.
Jinzhou, Liu Lin’s home.
"Master Liu, it's time to leave without further delay. Otherwise, once the court learns of the news, you will be in grave danger."
Guo Ting's Korean speaking is so pure that no one can tell that he is fake.
He led his people to lurk in Jinzhou, and then handed a letter to Liu Lin's eldest son Liu Zhifang.
The content of the letter is that Liu Lin asked his sons to lead the entire family and quickly leave Jinzhou with the people who took care of them.
Of course the letter was a forgery, but the handwriting was exactly the same as Liu Lin's.
Shen Qiyuan and Liu Lin had a very close relationship and often exchanged letters, so it was very easy to obtain his handwriting.
There are many masters of forgery in the Intelligence Department, so they created such a fake letter, which even had a seal.
Liu Zhifang also has a family background, and she recognized it as her father's handwriting at a glance.
"Where is Jia Yan now?"
Guo Ting doesn't even blink when he lies.
"Your Majesty is planning to bring out more soldiers and horses. The situation is serious, so we cannot rush back in person."
Liu Zhifang was holding the letter and couldn't make a decision for a moment, and couldn't help but look at her brother Liu Zhifa.
"Do you have any instructions from Madam?"
It was obvious that Liu Zhifa was very nervous and his face turned pale.
"The two ladies want us to leave immediately, otherwise our Liu family will be afraid of a disaster."
Liu Lin has two wives, one is from the Xian'an Yin family and the other is from the Andong Jin family, both of whom are from famous families.
Because of this, Liu Zhifang, born to the Yin family, and Liu Zhifa, born to the Jin family, firmly hold the family say among his sons.
Now Yin, Jin and Liu Zhifa are all inclined to run away quickly. Although Liu Zhifang is a little hesitant, he no longer insists.
"Here comes someone, prepare your bags quickly."
"Master Liu, this matter is of great importance. In order to avoid being noticed, we must not make a big show of it."
Guo Ting quickly dissuaded him.
Only then did Liu Zhifang react.
This is to escape, not to play.
"Well, please quickly bring out the two ladies and we will set off immediately."
Before he finished speaking, the servants from the mansion suddenly rushed in.
"Master, hurry up, the barbarians are here and they are arresting people everywhere."
Liu Zhifang and Liu Zhifa's expressions immediately changed. As Guo Ting came to the door of the mansion, they saw chaos in the entire Jinzhou city.
Countless people were swarming toward the east, shouting and howling soaring into the sky.
Guo Ting was so anxious that he was furious.
"Walk quickly, walk quickly, or you won't be able to leave if you don't."
Liu Zhifang and Liu Zhifa no longer cared about the dignity of the scholars at this time, and rushed back to the backyard, asking the servants to carry the two ladies on their backs. Following Guo Ting, they rushed out of the south gate of Jinzhou under the cover of the chaotic flow of people.
.
Half an hour later, the Qing coalition forces led by Tu Lai, Nikan and Li Shifang arrived at Jinzhou City.
Seeing that the city gate was open but no one was there to greet them, the three of them all looked very ugly.
Shi Tingzhu finally arrived.
"The end will come soon, please punish Prince Su."
Seeing Shi Tingzhu covered in mud and panting like an ox, Hauge originally wanted to whip him, but then he thought of something and held back.
"Why are you still standing there? Arrange the artillery immediately. If you delay any longer, I will chop off your head."
Seeing that he was not punished, Shi Tingzhu was greatly surprised. At the same time, he felt relieved and quickly went to make arrangements.
He also looked for people to inquire, and finally found out that the reason why he was safe and sound this time was all due to Fan Ji.
"Mr. Fan, Shi will never forget your kindness in protecting me. Please accept your kindness."
After finishing the work, Shi Tingzhu found Fan Ji and presented him with ten taels of gold without saying a word.
Although he is Gushan Ezhen and Fan Ji has no official position, who is to say that Fan Ji is Hauge's most trusted minion.
As a seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Fan Ji has great energy.
There is absolutely no harm in being friendly with him.
Facing Shi Tingzhu's thank you gift, Fan Ji accepted it with peace of mind.
"If we Han people want to gain a foothold here, in addition to being loyal, we must also support and help each other. General Shi is someone I admire, and we will keep in touch with you more in the future."
He didn't tell Shi Tingzhu that he also had this intention, and he quickly said yes, thus establishing a relationship.
The Qing army finally had the support of artillery, and its offensive intensity increased a lot.
Seeing several fortifications being destroyed by artillery shells, how could Bai Xiaoqi endure it?
"Where's our artillery? Shoot out their artillery."
The Xia army's heavy artillery began to return fire.
The Qing army's artillery positions were quickly covered with a longer range due to its condescending position.
However, before the smoke cleared, the Qing army's artillery roared again.
This situation shocked Bai Xiaoqi, and he quickly picked up a telescope to observe.
It's a pity that it's not very clear under the billowing smoke.
"Even if the artillery of the Qing army is made of Jiutian Black Iron, are their artillery also invulnerable?"
Jia Yunzhi is here.
"Although we don't know the situation yet, if the estimate is good, the Qing army should have built bunkers."
Bai Xiaoqi thought for a while and realized that this could only be the result. He couldn't help but slapped the wood with his palm.
"These bastards are progressing too fast."
Fortunately, the Xia army's artillery was not a vegetarian, and the artillery was also very powerful. Even though the Qing army built strong fortifications, they still suffered a lot of losses, which greatly affected the efficiency of artillery fire.
For a moment, the situation on the battlefield remained balanced.
Busan finally welcomed the negotiating delegation from Japan.
Seeing the emblems and flags of the Tokugawa Shogunate and Satsuma Domain appearing, Zuo Hua's face was filled with a smile.
He has already begun to think about how to open his mouth like a lion.
However, halfway through his laughter, his face turned livid.
I saw the "Zheng" flag fluttering in the wind among the oncoming fleet, which was particularly dazzling.
"Okay! Okay! As expected of Mr. Zheng. Let's... let's get started!"
"Hahaha, General Zuo, I haven't seen him for a long time, but he still looks like the same!"
On Zheng's boat, there was an acquaintance of Zuo Hua, Shi Daxuan.
While exchanging pleasantries, he kept looking at the Xia Navy ships with his eyes.
Compared with before, Shi Daxuan's eyes were a little more wary.
"I, Chen Zhong, have been ordered by an official to come to mediate the matter between you and the Japanese. The sea is very windy and the waves are rough, so we all have to be harmonious to make money."
This Chen Zhong is unknown and I have never heard of him. However, looking at his Confucian shirt, it is obvious that he should be a tribute to Zheng Zhilong.
"Please, everyone, let's have a good talk."
A murderous intention surged in Zuo Hua's heart, and he barely suppressed his thoughts, which had already diverted from the upcoming negotiations.
