Just when Mang Gurtai resolutely implemented the tactics set by Master Fan and prevented the main force of the Ming army from going deep into Liaodong to cooperate with other armies, which made Huang Taiji feel gratified, two major events happened that could change the entire Liaodong battlefield. And this first
What happened was that the armies of Zhu Guochang and Li Zicheng suddenly turned around and started tossing between Gushan Fort and Haizhou Guard. This made Zhu Youcong and others who were worried about how to prevent the enemy from running away to carry out guerrilla warfare, were greatly surprised and even more happy.
Crazy, even if the Tatars are allowed to run away now, they will at most retreat to Liaoyang. To the south? Do you think that these scourges without military pay will only demolish houses and search for treasures, in order to level the land for the people of the Ming Dynasty who are coming?
Li Zicheng's approach to adding fertilizer was to burn everything that could not be dismantled! One of the reasons why Zu Dashou could not catch up with Zhang Polu was because the wildfires that soared into the sky often took several days to be extinguished, leaving such a large area barren of grass.
In the area, what did you ask the warriors of the Qing Dynasty to drive cattle and sheep to eat?
The reason why Zhu Guochang and Li Zicheng dared to come here regardless of the trap set by the rear base and the Tatars was that Zu Dashou had to follow Zhang Polu and Zuo Liangyu who were running around to eat ashes.
The army was tied up and trapped outside Hetuala, and because another person robbed them of their jobs, they beat the scattered defenders in the south and kept retreating north.
"Brother Dehui, will this make General Zhenguo unhappy if we do this?" Xiong Wencan, who left his post without permission, has never seen such a style of play. Starting from the Yalu River in the east to the Shahe River that he passed just two days ago, as long as
There was an entrance to the sea where ships could pass through, and wherever the Tatars were stationed, they sent fleets to harass them.
"Why is the general angry? Our army didn't come here intentionally to cause trouble. Do you understand this is called wandering? We can't find our way home, why can't we just wander around?" Zou Weilian looked proud.
, he, the commander of the Ming Dynasty's home fleet, no longer only has three small fishing boats under his command. After the battle in the East China Sea, the Dutch's ten warships and more than twenty armed merchant ships are now his property, and this does not include the ones towed behind.
Those transport ships filled with black powder!
"But the military order you received is not..." Xiong Wencan broke out in a cold sweat. No wonder the scholars said that the fat man was a shameless person. Look how long this Dong Lin elite has been hidden by him, and he has become like this. Trek?
Is there anyone in this world who is as wandering as you, running from Shandong to Liaodong to find the way back to Lingshan? And if I want to fight you, I'll fight you seriously. If you don't get off the boat and fire two cannons when you see the enemy, what kind of tactics is that?
?
"Brother Nian means going south, don't worry! With Master Mo here, you will be safe and sound!" Of course Zou Weilian will not forget his responsibilities, but now that the Dutch who can threaten the Ming Dynasty's waters have lost their fleet, the main force of the Zheng family has sneaked into that group again
The fool who was betrayed is gone. Why should he continue to hang out at sea after his strength has increased? With the children of the Mohist family and the two fishing boats in Lingshan Wei, they cannot be lost. If the Zheng family can really take advantage of it, he can also use it.
Ji Feng returned to defense in time, and maybe he could stab Zheng Zhilong in the back unexpectedly.
"Sir, we are almost at Gaizhou Guard!" The harvest this time was really big. Not only did we seize a large number of ships, but we also got a valuable nautical chart. This one was made by Master Fan to facilitate the Dutch to transport supplies to the city.
The nautical chart of Liaodong was even more eye-catching for navigator Wu Abo!
"Send the order, let the soldiers hang the Dutch flag according to the old rules, and put those yellow hairs on the bow!" General Zhenguo said, regardless of Tatars or rebels, they all live in our Ming Dynasty.
On the land, even if we have to clean up, it will not be the turn of those foreigners to show off their power on our land! Zou Weilian also deeply agrees with this, so now the warship is still a Dutch warship, and the flag is still their flag, but the one on the ship is still a Dutch warship.
Except for a few people who were just for show, all the people were replaced by Dan family members. Aren't there just dozens of sailboats? If it fell into the hands of others, it might take two days to study, but these have been soaked in the sea since childhood, and they go to sampans.
How can the Dan family dare to go fishing in the sea with a piece of rag tied to the board? There is no need for an internship. After the Dutch explain the use of the facilities above, their navigation skills are even better than those of the sea coachmen! Yes!
Otherwise, how could a waterway as narrow as the Piaozi River be bombarded by naval guns on both sides? It was even less possible for me to order five armed merchant ships in each river to be filled with gunpowder and just go back and forth.
In the study room of the Gaizhou government office, Shang Kejin drove away all the servants and quietly asked his brother: "Yuanji! Do you think our original choice was wrong?"
"Brother, what nonsense are you talking about? What's so good about the Ming Dynasty? Even though they are making a lot of noise now, as soon as winter comes, it won't be our Qing Dynasty that wins in the end?" Shang Kexi has never regretted it, because he was in
The tough guy who killed thousands of Dongjiang troops before taking refuge has been awarded the title of Chief Military Officer, and the group of Tatars under his command have a resounding name called "Tianzhu Bing", implying that Master Fan hopes that they can compete with Lu Xiangsheng's
It means the legendary Tianxiong Army.
"But our father..." Shang Kejin doesn't think that the Qing Dynasty can get through the difficulties safely this time. If we had known that the Ming Dynasty still hid such a huge strength, we would have followed those two bastards Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming.
Why are we rebelling together? Now not only can we not avenge the murder of our father, but we are also listed as one of the traitors who must be killed. Why bother?
"What happened to our father? He was ignorant of current affairs and wanted to resist the power of Heaven. He deserved to be destroyed by our Qing Dynasty!" Speaking of the unlucky father who died in an ambush during the attack on Xuan City in the fifth year of Apocalypse, Shang said
The good thing is that he is full of anger. You said that Han Jian didn't do such a promising thing, why did he insist on following that dim emperor of Ming Dynasty to make trouble? If he hadn't offended his master back then, he would have achieved great success when he surrendered.
He got into the position of King of Han with a different surname that Military Master Fan mentioned! Fortunately, he died early, otherwise if he was still alive and didn’t know how to praise me, I would have to kill my relatives out of justice!
"But..." Shang Kejin really wanted to remind his younger brother that the masters had betrayed the ministers of the Ming Dynasty who were related to Liaodong last time in order to preserve their strength. If the Qing Dynasty could not win on the battlefield this time, it would be very difficult.
Maybe these Han flag generals will be thrown out as bargaining chips at the negotiation table!
"That's enough!" Shang Kexi, who had given up his heart to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty, raised his voice, raised his fists to the north, and then shouted: "The emperor of the Qing Dynasty has rekindled the kindness of my Shang family. When we first arrived, we were promised high officials and generous salaries, and even more promised
I have 80,000 soldiers stationed here. How can I be so ambitious as that foolish king of the Ming Dynasty? I regard you as my eldest brother today, and it is just a matter of these words coming out of your mouth and into my ears. If he lets me hear it again in the future,
Don’t blame your younger brother for being so ruthless with such treacherous remarks!”
"Report——"
Shang Kexi opened the door, turned around and warned his elder brother with a look in his eyes before calmly asking: "What's the matter?"
The messenger trembled in front of Shang Kexi's murderous eyes and said: "Master General, the Dutch fleet has arrived! But they seem to be in some trouble, and they are dragging a fire ship!"
"Fire ship?" Shang Kexi frowned and said in annoyance: "These Western barbarians always make people worry-free. Last time they bribed that magician named Tang to sell us a group of people who were cheated with gunpowder and they haven't settled the accounts yet.
, and now he’s setting his own boat on fire again!”
In fact, this time I am so happy that Tang Ruowang, who was really unjustly accused, has gone to see God. Although he is greedy, his heart is not that dark. The manipulation of gunpowder was ordered by chief scientist Luo Jacob. The reason for adding some water is not
To get a lot of kickbacks to increase the weight? This kind of thing has been an open secret among all the priests of Anshan Academy of Sciences as early as half a year ago, but I accidentally added a little more last time!
"What's wrong with these Dutch barbarians?" The incoming ships did not swarm into the port to unload cargo and load silver as before. Instead, they all blocked the entrance to the sea. This made Shang Keke, who had just arrived at the dock to receive supplies, very happy.
It's dissatisfaction. Don't think that because the Qing Dynasty is in urgent need of firearms, you can push it further. There is more than one seller around here! "Send someone to tell them that if they can't unload the goods today, I will report it to the Holy Emperor and find Spanish barbarians in the future..."
"
"boom……"
Commander-in-Chief Shang Kexishang obviously forgot something. In this era, warships fighting against each other only meant one thing. Before he could finish speaking, ten Dutch warships suddenly lowered their flags and replaced them with the Ming Dynasty Dragon Flag.
Hundreds of gun windows were opened at the same time, spitting out flames, and hundreds of solid iron lumps hit the Tianzhu soldiers who were standing in line outside the city to transport firearms, and began their unique unloading method. The so-called fire ship being towed behind was even more
The cannonballs were fired directly at the city head. In an instant, the bricks, stones and stumps of the Gaizhou city were flying away, and the blood and water under the Gaizhou city were the color of the sky.
Shang Kexi, who was standing at the top of the city and posing for these ignorant Westerners to appreciate the style of the Qing Dynasty warriors, saw a flash of fire in front of him, and then he felt as if he was flying as light as a swallow, shouting in the air.
There is an eternal famous saying: "No! I was fooled!"
Shang Kejin, who had set out late but had not yet reached the city gate, stumbled to his feet and the first thing he shouted was: "Surrender! Surrender! Send someone quickly to announce the surrender!"
After several rounds of shelling, there were no more living creatures in sight. Zou Weilian kindly declared a ceasefire, and then said to Xiong Wencan: "Brother Nian, it's your turn! If they come to surrender later, you can agree to any conditions, but
They must all stand outside the city to accept the reorganization of our army!"
"Brother Dehui's actions are really the way of a saint! I will definitely try my best..." In Xiong Wencan's opinion, a slap in the face like this is the right thing to do. If he kills blindly, it would really go against the will of Heaven. Now.
Gaizhou City was without its commander-in-chief, and he was indeed a genius ambassador. It didn't take long to persuade the deputy commander-in-chief Shang Kejin to agree to immediately assemble his troops and leave the city to surrender.
"Pull it down! Kill it!" The commander-in-chief of the Ming Dynasty's new army was a fat man who was shameless and never unreasonable. Of course, his men were not much better, not to mention that the general's ten-kill order had already been issued to these Han nationals who were willing to be traitors to the country.
Jian happened to be there. Zou Weilian asked people to stand in line and surrender just to save ammunition, which had nothing to do with Xiong Wencan's ideas. After Shang Kejin, who had just boarded the ship and was about to kowtow, was dragged off, he suddenly ordered: "
Continue the bombardment! No ceasefire is allowed even if Gaizhou City is bombarded into the sky without my order!"
When Zhu Guochang and Li Zicheng, who were wandering in Liaodong, learned that Zou Weilian bombarded Gaizhou City and killed 80,000 Han soldiers who threatened Jinzhou without surviving, they spat and cursed: "Damn it, this is
This guy is not honest in what he does and actually crosses the border to steal our work! He doesn’t know that Gaizhou City is a place where we deliberately store military rations. There are still tens of thousands of taels of silver in there that haven’t been transported away! If he does this again
, we will demolish his house when we get back after finishing what we are doing!" After saying that, the two led tens of thousands of scourges back into the new battlefield!
