The first to discover that Li Laiheng's department came back was not the naval division station here in Shanhaiguan, but the only Ming army soldiers in the Guangning Zhongqian Station that remained outside Shanhaiguan.

This time, Gu Haozi's sailor came back, and he no longer needed to hide it, but came back with a swagger along the coastline, which is the safest way. Anyway, when the Jianyu on the shore saw it, he could only stare dryly.

The return of Liaodong's victory this time made all the soldiers very excited. So much so that the original song of "Defending the Yellow River" was originally only sung by Li Laiheng's subordinates who had a good memory and listened to a lot, and then, after a few days, almost everyone could sing it, including those Han people who were rescued.

Riding a boat or something, it's the most boring.

So, when these Ming soldiers saw the movement of Jianyu on the bank, they began to sing "Defending the Yellow River" in unison.

Li Laiheng's subordinates, the soldiers of the Guanning cavalry, the soldiers of the Shanhaiguan Naval Division, and the rescued people sang in unison, and the song spread far away, making the Jianyu on the shore dumbfounded one by one.

Seeing this scene, they became even more energetic and sang even louder.

And the soldiers of the Ming army in Guangning Zhongqian Institute were the same, and they heard the singing voice from a distance.

If it was just to see the return of the fleet, what the outcome would be, they certainly did not know. However, when I heard this song from afar, the one who didn't run definitely returned from a great victory.

So, the soldiers of the Ming army here immediately flew to Shanhaiguan.

It happened that on the side of Shanhaiguan, Zuo Yingxuan, the governor of Shanyong, was discussing things with Yan Yingyuan, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan.

Before, on the order of Xingguo Gong, he sent Ye Ye not to collect the customs, went deep into the grassland, and went to the sentinel to find out the news about the Jianyu army, and there was already a return to report that the Jianyu army had not seen it, but the Ao Han tribe outside Shanhaiguan, the originally assembled men and horses went back.

For this reason, Zuo Yingxuan came to Yan Yingyuan to inquire about whether this was a good sign!

Therefore, as soon as he heard the announcement of the Guangning Zhongqian Institute, Yan Yingyuan immediately said excitedly and categorically: "Lord Zhongcheng, it can be determined that Li Laiheng's department has made meritorious contributions. Otherwise, it would be impossible for the assembled cavalry of the Ao Han tribe to return! ”

This is equivalent to saying that Yan Yingyuan's side, that is, Zuo Yingxuan's side, has made great contributions and successfully sabotaged Jianyu's entry.

Suddenly, Zuo Yingxuan was also overjoyed, so he didn't care about his identity or not, and immediately took someone to the dock to wait for the arrival of the sailor.

When he arrived at the dock, Zuo Yingxuan remembered that the sailor had not arrived so quickly. However, he didn't care, just sat and waited on the side of the water master, and at the same time talked and laughed with Yan Yingyuan, and the smile on his face kept hanging: "Wan Heng, what do you say this Li Laiheng has tossed in Liaodong, so that the assembled Jianyu army has to disperse?" ”

Wan Heng is Yan Yingyuan's character, and as a person from the Xingguo Gong line, the relationship is naturally good.

Yan Yingyuan listened to this, and also analyzed excitedly: "It is likely that Gaizhou was defeated and threatened Haizhou, so the construction of Haizhou City had to send people to Shenyang for help urgently without knowing the details. And Jianyu must not lose Haizhou City. Otherwise, it threatens Anshan Post Fort and cuts off the connection between western Liaoning and northern Liaoning, which is what Jianyu is most worried about. It is reasonable for the slave chief to return to help. ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I thought so too. Zuo Yingxuan listened to it and said happily, "Being able to defeat Gaizhou, this is also the first counterattack of the imperial court, and it has taken a city occupied by Jianju, this is a great victory, a great victory!" ”

The two just chatted like this, and didn't think much about it.

It's not that they don't dare to think about it, but it's already the limit of what they can think of.

You must know that since the rise of Jianyu, the only time that the city was recaptured from Jianyu was in the era of Mao Wenlong, when the Dongjiang Army attacked Zhenjiang Fort, which was the only time.

After that, not to mention taking the city, it was impossible to hold the existing city at all, and the land of Liaodong eventually fell step by step. Even later, even Dongjiang Town was gone.

Recently, the Battle of Songjin, Jinzhou fell, the 130,000 Ming army was annihilated, and the governor of Jiliao surrendered to Jian.

Ning Yuan took the initiative to give up, although it was a strategic need, but it was also helpless.

In this context, taking a Gaizhou city is definitely a great victory, and it is very morale-boosting, not to mention destroying the entry of Jianyu!

Zuo Yingxuan and Yan Yingyuan were so happy to talk happily at the sailor camp, and even Zuo Yingxuan had already planned how to write the good news.

Before you know it, a fleet of ships finally appeared on the sea.

Suddenly, all the soldiers were excited, and they waved their hands one after another, regardless of whether they could see it or not.

Zuo Yingxuan couldn't sit still, so he simply walked out of the camp and came to the dock, looking at the figure of the fleet from afar, and watching happily.

"The wind is howling, the horses are howling............"

The faint singing came, also conveying the excitement of the triumphant soldiers.

Zuo Yingxuan heard it clearly, and couldn't help stroking his palms and laughing: "Okay, this song by Guogong, I think it should be sung in the whole army." Defend your hometown, defend North China, haha! ”

Yan Yingyuan responded with a smile, but in his heart, there was still a trace of worry, for fear that the cavalry would lose too much. After all, it was a place where the captives were built, and it was not so easy to win. However, under the great victory, this is not the time to mention such things.

Finally, the fleet slowly approached the dock of the sailor. On the shore boat, they could see each other clearly, and the soldiers were all waving and cheering to each other regardless of whether they recognized each other or not.

Li Laiheng didn't expect that the governor of Shanyong and the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan were both on the shore, so he hurriedly packed up his appearance, and then stepped forward to salute.

Of course, Chen Mingyu was also with him, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Lord Zhongcheng: "The last general Li Laiheng (Chen Mingyu) has seen Lord Zhongcheng!" ”

After finishing speaking, Li Laiheng and Chen Mingyu glanced at each other, and finally Li Laiheng came to report the battle situation.

At the beginning, Li Laiheng had already thought about it on the ship, he must calm down and use that calm tone and expression to pray, but in the jubilant atmosphere of the whole army, he pretended to be forced to break through, and quickly prayed with an excited face: "After the last general's headquarters arrived in Liaodong, they burned Haizhou City, raided Anshan Post Fort, and went to Liaoyang to see the scenery for two days. More than 2,500 plundered people were rescued, and nearly 2,000 prisoners were killed or wounded on the return journey. One hundred and seventy-two soldiers were killed and 768 wounded. ”

When he said this, he obviously saw that Governor Shanyong and the general soldier of Shanhaiguan were all stunned. To be honest, he suddenly felt very cool in his heart, and when he turned his head to look at Chen Mingyu, the two of them smiled.

Zuo Yingxuan was really stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he showed an incredible expression, and immediately confirmed: "What did you just say?" Captured Haizhou City, Anshan Post Fort, and went to Liaoyang? ”

He discussed with Yan Yingyuan before, but he just thought that he had taken Gaizhou. That's it, they all already think it's a big victory! Therefore, at this time, when I heard that Haizhou City and Anshan Post Fort, which were more important than Gaizhou, had been taken, it was really an incredible feeling.

Yan Yingyuan was also very shocked, and followed Zuo Yingxuan to confirm: "Is that really the case? ”

Li Laiheng listened, looked at Chen Mingyu and smiled, turned around and got out of the way, behind them, a soldier removed a plaque from the ship, which was the plaque of the Haizhou Mansion that was hung in the Haizhou City Mansion. In addition, there is also a letter of the Anshan Post Fort guard.

As soon as he saw these two things, Zuo Yingxuan hurriedly walked over to look at the plaque, and then picked up the seal letter to inspect it. After a while, I couldn't help but laugh.

It's true, it's true!

At this moment, I heard Li Laiheng say with a little regret: "Because the fleet has to bring back the plundered people, it can't transport the head of Jianyu back." ”

The military exploits of the Ming Dynasty are judged by the first rank. Therefore, he has this to say.

However, Zuo Yingxuan listened, but he didn't care, and immediately laughed and said: "It's okay, it's okay, it's such a big victory, why do you need a head." Rescuing the plundered people is even more of a great achievement. ”

At this moment, Yan Yingyuan, who was sharp-eyed, found that among the soldiers who were getting off the ship, many of them were wearing Jianyu's armor.

At this time, Jianyu's armor and military uniform were already different from the Ming army, and they could be seen at a glance. Armor, which is lacking in any army, is to be captured as trophies.

So, he immediately smiled and pointed to the trophies and said, "Isn't it much more practical to wear armor than the first rank!" ”

Zuo Yingxuan listened, and when he heard the sound, he even claimed that it was.

Subsequently, both of them hurriedly asked Li Laiheng and Chen Mingyu what the specific battle was?

Of course, Li Laiheng and Chen Mingyu would not hide it, so they said it one by one.

After Zuo Yingxuan was confirmed, he couldn't wait to write the victory report directly on the side of the naval division barracks. By the time he had finished writing, even the soldiers on the ship had not finished.

Needless to say, such a big good news, eight hundred miles was expedited and sent to Beijing.

As soon as the rescued and plundered people set foot on the field, they knelt there one by one and wept bitterly, which was a cry of joy and a vent for the suffering of the past.

Zuo Yingxuan saw this, which was naturally a comfort, as a civil official, he knew how important it was to rescue these plundered people. Therefore, not only did they make proper arrangements, but they also asked the military Chinese book to register their hometown information and the like.

Subsequently, along with the plaque of Haizhou City and some selected Jianyu armor, it was sent to the Jingshi.

Emperor Chongzhen of Jingshi was worried about internal and external troubles, and suddenly, he received such a good news.

According to the news that came out of the palace later, the emperor was also crying with joy at that time, and made a decision to worship the temple at the first time.

Not only him, but also those officials who got the good news, their hands were shaking when they held the good news.

On that day, the whole Jingshi fell into a sea of joy.

Between Daming and Jianyu, it is finally no longer a one-sided defeat.

Subsequently, Emperor Chongzhen issued an order that all the soldiers in the hinterland of Liaodong would go to Beijing and he would meet them. On the other hand, he also sent this good news to Zhang Mingwei with an expedited 800 miles.
