Chapter 1358 Gu Ruoqing: What did this person call her? Ruoqing?
On this day, the weather was sunny and the autumn wind was bleak.
It has been more than a month since Jia Heng and Wang Shuirong of Beijing left for Tianjin in late August of the 18th year of Chongping, and we are about to enter the golden autumn of October when the sweet osmanthus is fragrant.
Jia Heng led a group of navy soldiers and boarded an ark. At this moment, the flag with the character "Han" and the flag with the character "Jia" were ringing and swaying in the wind.
The army was in good order and the atmosphere was solemn.
Wang Shuirong of Beijing, Jiangnan Navy Admiral Wei Che and the young generals of the Jia family were on the left and right. The surrounding generals had solemn expressions, but some excitement could be faintly seen on the young faces of the young generals of the Jia family.
At this moment, the Jiangnan Navy has about 60,000 troops, plus Tianjin Guard's nearly 10,000 troops, and Hebei Admiral Kang Hong's 30,000 troops. A total of 100,000 troops boarded the warships and headed for Gaizhou (Yingkou)
.
Jia Heng waved his hand, looking at the winding and undulating coast in the distance with a cold gaze under his two sharp sword eyebrows, he shouted deeply and said: "Let's go!"
Following the order, the sailors on the ship slowly untied the ropes on the ship, and the sails swollen on the mast that were several feet high made a roar, and headed towards the Liaodong coast.
Then, a large number of ships behind them also set sail.
Jia Heng looked into the distance with a monocular telescope, and Cao Cao's poem couldn't help but come to mind:
"To the east is the Jieshi, where you can view the vast sea. The water is sluggish, but the mountains and islands stand tall. There are thick trees and luxuriant grass. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising."
The sea that Cao Cao viewed was probably the Bohai Sea from Changli.
This is exactly what he is looking at now.
A ship raised its sails, rode the wind and waves, and sailed towards the Bohai Sea. The flags on all four sides of the ship moved in the wind, and the clear water flowed through the hull, making a "swishing" sound.
In the cabin——
Jia Heng came to the cabin of a wooden ship, met Chen Xiao's concerned eyes, and sat down.
The beauty's clear eyes flickered, and she said softly: "Has everything been arranged?"
Jia Heng said: "Jiangnan Navy and Tianjin Guard Navy are conducting drills and training, and will arrive in Shengjing soon."
Chen Xiao said softly: "Don't be careless."
Jia Heng nodded and said, "I'm going to look at the map."
As he said that, he looked at Gu Ruoqing aside and said, "Miss Ruqing, look for a Feiyu suit and put it on. It will be more convenient for daily travel."
When Gu Ruoqing heard this, her face was stunned for a moment, and under her willow-leaf eyebrows, her cold, shining eyes glanced at Chen Xiao who was standing aside.
She, the White Lotus Saint, always looks a little weird when she puts on the clothes of the imperial minions.
However, the junior sister seemed to be wearing those clothes as well.
As he spoke, without saying much, he quickly came to the desk, picked up a map placed on the desk, and looked down at the marching situation on the map.
…
…
Time flies by like water, and five days have passed before you know it.
During this period of time, the Jurchen soldiers and horses in Korea were almost like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, sweeping across the north and south, destroying all roads in Korea, and destroying troops and horses in counties and counties.
Obai led his troops and fought several times with the soldiers and horses of King Qin of North Korea, and finally defeated the North Korean coalition forces rushing to aid Wang Jing in Jiangyuan Road.
Soon after, the North Korean troops retreated to Sanwon Castle east of Jeolla Province.
Prince Azig, who had learned the news in the capital city, was even more happy when he heard the news about Obai's success. While reporting the victory to Shengjing, he also recruited Korean soldiers and grain to support the army in the eastward expedition.
.
Liaodong, Gaizhouwei
This acropolis has a majestic city head, densely covered with flags, and has more than a dozen forts under its jurisdiction. At this moment, the leading general has sent an additional 3,000 soldiers and arrived at the Gaizhou Acropolis ten days ago.
This was a general Dorgon sent from Shengjing after being reminded by Fan Xiandou. His name was Erbilong, and he was the grandson of Nurhachi.
In a parallel time and space, there were also four ministers who cared about life under Kangxi, who were good at conquering and fighting, and were both civil and military.
At this moment, Ye Bilong was sitting in the Acropolis Yamen Hall and was lecturing a group of generals.
"Generals, according to reports from secret spies, the troops of the Han Dynasty have gathered from the Tianjin Guards. It is very likely that they will attack the nearby Gaizhou Guards and threaten us in Shengjing of the Qing Dynasty." Under his thick eyebrows, Er Bilong's eyes were bright and clear, and he said
Ru Hongzhong said loudly.
The Jurchen generals below all had angry expressions on their faces when they heard this, and their discussions were extremely noisy.
"The Han people are so courageous! They dare to raise troops to invade. They really have the courage of a bear and a leopard!"
"Yeah, the Han people think they are the only ones with red cannons?"
"Fight for them!"
Ye Bilong stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling the generals in the hall to calm down a little.
"Generals, the Han army has come from afar to attack and defend us. We are outnumbered and the enemy is numerous. However, the order given to us by the prince and the emperor is to defend and defend to the death. Once the Gaizhou Guard is broken, Shengjing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, will face the Han army directly.
"Feng, for this reason, our Eight Banners elites can only serve with their lives. Everyone, the time has come to serve the Qing Dynasty!" Ye Bilong's face was excited and his voice was resounding.
All the Jurchen generals present shouted loudly: "We are willing to die."
Ye Bilong said: "This time, I have brought the Hongyi artillery and set it up in the forts and fortresses of each fort. When the Han soldiers arrive, they can bombard them."
Then, he ordered the generals below to march to several cities in Gaizhou Acropolis.
Gaizhou Guards has jurisdiction over three large cities: Gaizhou City, Xiongyue City, and Yongning Supervisory City, in addition to fifty other forts.
After the general had given orders, Ju Bilong sat down, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of herbal tea, and moistened his throat. A look of deep thought appeared on his majestic face.
This time, the Gaizhou Guards had a total of 36,000 soldiers and horses. It would be difficult to defend them.
As the Jurchen mobilized soldiers to intervene in North Korea, the Manchu Qing's internal military strength became somewhat stretched.
To resist the Han army with such troops and horses, if there was pressure in the past, Yi Bilong would be the first to sneer at it, but after several battles, Yi Bilong became less confident.
The Jurchens are not equal to ten thousand, but they are invincible, which eventually became a slogan.
At this moment, above Gaizhou City, Xiongyue City, and Yongning Supervisory City, under the leadership of Jurchen generals and generals, many armed with ordnances were coming and going, and they were stationed near the fort. At this moment, the flags on the fort were being hunted.
Ring, move head on.
The Jurchen soldiers were looking at the sea on the beacon.
"The Han ships are coming." Among them, on the beacon platform, a soldier with excellent eyesight pointed at the blue sea in the distance and said in alarm.
First, the shadow of a mast appeared on the sea, and soon, a large ship with a height of several feet was visible, and then a large number of ships on the sea and sky gradually approached.
"Woo!"
As the horn blew, the smoke on the beacon tower was lit up one after another, and was sent all the way on the beacon, heading towards Gaizhou City, Xiongyue City, and Yongning Supervisory City three miles away.
At this moment, Jia Heng was standing on a large Chinese military banner on the side of the flagship, holding a monocular telescope in his hand, and the winding green mountains seemed to be reflected in the mirror.
Jia Heng said: "The Gaizhou Guards have arrived."
This place was called Yingkou in later generations, and it was the entrance to the sea in Liaodong. From here, we rushed forward all the way to Shengjing, Liaodong. Of course, we were bound to encounter numerous obstacles from Jurchen soldiers and horses on the way.
Just such an acropolis is not that easy to break.
The Jurchens stationed a heavy army and would even become a hard nail in blocking the Han army's advance.
Gu Ruoqing is dressed as a guard in flying fish uniforms. The beauty has clear and graceful features, and an embroidered spring knife is also held on her waist. The beauty's face is heroic and beautiful, and she has a sense of déjà vu to the future Brigitte Lin.
"Ships are near the shore, lined up on the side of the ship, and shelling!" Jia Heng put down his monocular and said loudly to the guards who were delivering the order.
If they don't agree with each other, they will start bombarding them with artillery fire.
This is not like in later generations, where heavy artillery clusters plowed the ground three feet directly.
But there is also a sense of déjà vu during the Kangxi Dynasty when Shi Lang regained Taiwan.
"No." The ordering guard said loudly.
Immediately, the flags on the flag ship kept waving, and then, the Jiangnan Navy and the Tianjin Guard Navy, ships with cannons and cannons in the fleet, approached the shore, and the sound of "release" sounded.
.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the sound of artillery rumbled, shaking the earth and the earth, and the shells made a piercing scream in the air.
At this moment, the forts built on the coast were suddenly baptized by artillery fire like a gust of wind and rain. Amidst the smoke, broken walls and ruins could be seen flying up.
Although Jia Heng had some expectations beforehand, many of the fortifications were still blasted to the sky by artillery fire.
Many of the Jurchen Eight Banners screamed and fell to the side.
Then, the forts on the Jurchen fortress also rumbled and bombarded the Han army's official ships.
It is also a Hongyi cannon. Although it is a bit bulky, its power and range are not much different from those of the Han army's Hongyi cannon.
"Rumble..."
The artillery fire continued, and the blunderbuss shells of the Hongyi cannon also fell into the sea. When they exploded, they set off large white waves.
Jia Heng picked up the monocular telescope in his hand and looked at the smoke on the shore, his brows gradually furrowed.
At this time, I heard the cold voice of the beauty next to me, whispering: "Bring the telescope, let me take a look."
Under Jia Heng's sharp eyebrows, his bright eyes narrowed slightly, and he turned to look at Gu Ruoqing, feeling speechless for a moment.
However, remembering that they had kissed her before, at this moment, she did not refuse too politely. Instead, she picked up the monocular and handed it to the beauty beside her.
Gu Ruoqing also picked up the monocular telescope, stared at the winding coast, and whispered: "The Jurchen soldiers seem to be at a disadvantage. It seems that they have suffered heavy casualties."
Jia Heng said loudly: "Our army's cannons and artillery fire are so fierce that the enemy's fortress can hardly resist. This result is not surprising. However, the Jurchen artillery and artillery fire also caused some trouble for our Han army."
It is not surprising to have such a result of the battle. After all, the Han navy came with a complete victory. Their soldiers were well equipped and their artillery and artillery were dense. The Jurchens could not resist at all.
Under Gu Ruoqing's curved eyebrows, her crystal clear eyes were soft and slightly soft, and she said softly: "When will the army land?"
Jia Heng's eyes were solemn under his sword-shaped brows, and he said: "Let's not rush. We must remove these fortresses at targeted locations. Otherwise, after landing, the officers and soldiers will be attacked from the rear, which will be very troublesome."
Worried that Gu Ruoqing didn't understand, Chen Xiao paused slightly and explained: "First we conquered the fortress, and then sent troops to remove the fortress city. Our army stationed a large camp on the shore, and it was inconvenient to transport the military supplies from the ship."
Gu Ruoqing nodded, indicating that he understood the reason.
I thought to myself, no wonder this disciple regards his junior sister as his right-hand man.
At this moment, it was not until half noon that the rumble of artillery fire from both sides began to be heard sparsely, and the Han army was divided into seven or eight teams, each with about 3,000 soldiers and horses, and charged towards the fortress on the shore.
On top of the fortress, the Qing army relied on the parapets and turrets to fight back against the Han army that landed on the beach.
Occasionally, thunder from the sky was thrown at the Han army's formation, and then exploded into a ball, causing widespread destruction immediately.
The Han knights also retaliated against the Donglu. They fired crossbows, short muskets, and thunderbolts, and threw them at the Jurchen soldiers behind the wall.
"Pfft..."
Accompanied by the sound of weapons slashing into flesh, many female soldiers fell to the ground with groans of pain.
"kill……"
The cry of killing resounded up and down the coast at this moment, and a large number of Qing soldiers from the Eight Banners came out of the fort, holding weapons and weapons, and fought with the Han troops who landed ashore.
By the afternoon, the situation of the battle gradually became clear. The balance of victory and defeat gradually tilted towards the Han army. Seven or eight of the more than ten fortresses were destroyed.
The Jurchen soldiers began to flee in all directions, abandoning the fortress and leaving.
Jia Heng said: "Let the tribes beat drums and march in to encircle and suppress the retreating defeated army and prevent them from escaping!"
Chen Xiao's jade face, as crystal clear as snow, paused for a moment, warned him, and said softly: "I'm not familiar with the geography and roads, so be careful not to fall into an ambush."
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "When we get to the shore, we will send out scouts to search and move forward. We will use beacon fire to warn of ambushes."
In fact, he also guessed that the elite Jurchen Eight Banners would use their familiarity with the terrain of Liaodong to ambush the Han army.
These need to be investigated in advance.
Following Jia Heng's order to leave, the government troops began to land on the beach after a round of shelling, and then went ashore to search and move forward.
When the elite soldiers of the Jurchen Eight Banners participated in the battle, when the weapons collided, a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound was heard, and the earth-shattering sound of fighting resounded throughout the beach.
Gu Ruoqing held a monocular telescope, and looked at this scene with shining eyes under his beautiful eyebrows, and his expression was slightly moved.
Obviously, for this "high-quality older leftover woman", although she is used to Jiangnan romance, she rarely encounters such a fight with an iron horse.
Whether it's the cannon fire of hot weapons, or today's swordsmanship.
Jia Heng looked at Gu Ruoqing who was standing aside and said, "Ruoqing, bring me the telescope and I'll take a look at the enemy's situation."
Gu Ruoqing: "..."
What did this person call her? Ruoqing?
For a moment, the beauty was not used to such an intimate address.
However, he had no choice but to subconsciously hand the monocular in his hand to the boy in the python suit beside him. When his fingers touched the skin, a bright blush gradually appeared on both sides of the face with flowers and trees and snow.
Jia Heng took the monocular and looked at the battle situation in the fortress, his brows gradually furrowed.
Chen Xiaoxing came closer and said softly: "How is it?"
Jia Heng said in a deep voice: "The victory or defeat on the coast has been decided. Let's move towards Gaizhou Acropolis. There will be a fierce battle to be fought later."
At this moment, a large number of Han troops came ashore, almost like a flood. The fiery red uniforms of the Han army knights were like burning flames, covering the entire coast at once.
In the afternoon, Jia Heng and the accompanying Jiangnan navy reached the coast and stationed themselves in the camp. As time passed, various intelligence reports on the invasion were summarized and delivered to Jia Heng's desk.
When the lights flickered, Jiangnan Navy Admiral Wei Che and other generals of the Jiangnan Navy also finished their war meals and took a short rest. They marched to the military tent and saluted the young man in the python suit.
.
Jia Heng asked: "How is the situation in the Jurchen military strongholds?"
"Inform the Duke that the Jurchen elites are entrenched in the Gaizhou Acropolis and are preparing to hold on to the city and resist. Our naval outpost has already laid siege to the city. We can launch an attack early tomorrow morning." Wei Che said loudly.
Jia Heng said: "The Gaizhou Acropolis and the Xiongyue Acropolis are the horns of each other. We must guard against the Donglu cavalry cutting off our army from behind when we send out troops."
Wei Che, the admiral of the Jiangnan Navy, looked solemn, cupped his hands and said: "The last general takes orders."
Jia Heng glanced at the generals under his sword eyebrows and said: "This time our Han army marches forward, we must attack steadily and attack the city at a fixed point."
Because the biggest problem of the labor expedition is the supply of military supplies. A grain supply war must be established in Gaizhou to support the army on the front line.
The generals below heard this and nodded in agreement.
After the generals dispersed, Jia Heng looked at Hebei Admiral Kang Hong aside and said: "Admiral Kang, you choose your best cavalry and gather 20,000 troops. After the Gaizhou roadblock is cleared, go straight to the Haizhou Guard at any time.
.”
Kang Hong was surprised and said: "Duke Wei, this?"
Is this a surprise detour?
It's just that Duke Wei just said that it would be difficult to supply food and fodder for the military in the future.
Jia Heng's eyes were fierce and he said in a deep voice: "If I can conquer the capital at once, even if I take some risks, I will not let this opportunity go."
Kang Hong said: "Jurchens may not be defenseless."
Jia Heng said: "It's just for the camera."
When Kang Hong heard this, he raised his hands and said yes.
After Kang Hong left, Jia Heng came to the screen again and looked at the map hanging on the screen.
Chen Xiao said: "At this moment, North Korea is afraid that it has swept the north and south for Azige, Obai and others."
Jia Heng said: "We can't care about this now. If the Gaizhou Guards are defeated, all the Jurchen troops in North Korea will return to their divisions, but before that, Dorgon will send reinforcements."
"How about Fei Ge sends a letter to the Peking Economic Strategy and Appeasement Department so that they can send troops to respond at any time?" Chen Xiao thought for a while and said.
Jia Heng said: "There are not many soldiers and horses in the Beiping Commandery Division, so Jizhen and Shanhaiguan should pay attention. As for the deployment of troops and horses in the Beijing camp, it is not yet time, and all follow-up steps are not ready yet."
The direction of this war is actually still unclear. Only when the Jiangnan Navy truly captures the Gaizhou Guards and firmly establishes a foothold, or achieves such a huge result as the annihilation of 10,000 to 20,000 Jurchen Eight Banners elites, can we consider allocating border forces.
The army and even the capital camp tried to launch a war to destroy the country.
The Manchu Qing Dynasty had been established for decades, and under the life-and-death crisis of annihilation, unimaginable resistance would surely erupt.
When a lion fights a rabbit, he also uses all his strength.
Of course, the focus is still on weakening.
Gu Ruoqing looked at the couple, her beautiful eyes flashed under her willow eyebrows, and she pursed her twitching pink lips. She wanted to interrupt, but she couldn't quite understand.
