Chapter 274: I Want to Dominate the Country (Fourth Update, Ask for Subscription)

With the assistance of hundreds of small and large ships, it took more than 3,000 horses and more than 20,000 officers and men to successfully land in Liaodong throughout the night.

At the same time as the troops landed, there was a cavalry of more than 1,000 people, scattered to attack in all directions to ensure the safety of the army's march, these cavalry were all dressed in the armor of the Qing army, which was somewhat deceptive, but just as Mao Chengdou said.

In eastern Liaoning, in addition to Shenyang and Liaoyang, where the population is still prosperous, there are only two small cities in southern Liaoning, Xiuyan and Phoenix, with a population of less than 10,000 people. Therefore, in the entire mountainous area of southern Liaoning, there is no valuable target at all, and even in the mountainous area of southern Liaoning, there is no village for "erosion".

However, even so, Zhu Guoqiang knew that the news could not be concealed for long after all, and his time was getting less and less, so when the troops completed the landing, he gave the order to set off.

This army that crossed the ocean to Liaodong immediately marched in the direction of Shenyang along the deserted mountain road, with the help of horse-drawn sleighs, the marching speed of the troops was very fast, although there were almost no villages in the mountains, but it was inevitable that there would still be some hunters, once they were discovered by the sentinels, they would be killed by the sentinels wearing the armor of the Qing army, and the villages encountered on the march would also be slaughtered, so as not to leak the news.

And because of Nurhachi's massacre that lasted for more than ten years, there was no human population in the mountainous areas of southern Liaoning, so that on the way over the mountains of southern Liaoning, they only encountered a dozen hunters in the mountains, and even Han people who had been hiding in the mountains for many years.

In the days that followed, officers and soldiers marched day and night along the mountain paths, covering the extinguished fires with snow...... Despite this, the road was still bloody, but it was also a kind of helplessness to ensure concealment.

The heavy snow and biting cold winds flying in the sky of Liaodong are undoubtedly the best cover for the actions of the army.

After having the experience of marching in northern Jiangsu, the army that went out day and night along the way still did not attract the attention of outsiders until it entered the Liaoyang Plain.

The clouds dispersed and the moon rose, and a bright moon was exceptionally pale.

Lin Xiao swayed under the night wind, and let out bursts of whimpering sounds from time to time. The wind in Liaodong blows on people's bodies, like knives, even if he is wearing thick cold-proof clothes and sheepskin hats, Zhu Guoqiang can still feel the biting bones of the cold wind.

Under the moonlight, thousands of sleigh cars gallop quickly under the drag of horses, and the Liaoyang Plain covered with snow is like a natural ski resort, becoming a paradise for sledding.

Even, for Zhu Guoqiang, this is an ocean!

It's a sea of ice and snow!

A horse-drawn sleigh is a boat on the ocean, and all it needs is accurate positioning.

"As long as we bypass a city like Liaoyang, no one will find out about us!"

Zhu Guoqiang said confidently to Chen Wudi, who was also sitting on the sled. The reason why he has such self-confidence is entirely because he has an information in his hands that outsiders do not grasp - an accurate map of Liaodong, which accurately marks the location of "Shengjing", Liaoyang and other Manchu cities and the distribution areas of the battalions of the Eight Banners.

Times will change, but the latitude and longitude of the city will not change!

"Lord Shizi, you said, if Huang Taiji knew that we actually killed him in his lair, what would be his reaction?"

Not to mention that Chen Wudi is curious, even Zhu Guoqiang himself is also curious, when the time comes, how will Huang Taiji react......

In fact, for Huang Taiji, no matter what, he never thought that there would be a day when an army would fight all the way from the sea to his lair.

For him, who had just learned about the situation in the Central Plains from the messenger in the Guannai, the whole person was in a certain extreme excitement at this time.

"Mr. Fan, you see, the richest in this world is really only Nanzhili, Prince Rui just grabbed a circle in the Haizhou area, and he grabbed more than six million stone of grain! Tens of millions of taels of silver! This time, our Great Qing Kingdom no longer has to worry about food! ”

Not only do you have to worry about food anymore, the Eight Banners will definitely rejoice this time, why are the Eight Banners very happy every time they send troops, and the same is true for their wives, just because they can loot, they are willing to fight for the battlefield, just because they can rob the property of the Han people. Even when the troops were dispatched, they said "go and rob the west".

Robbery is fundamental to maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners!

"Actually, speaking of which, this time I was able to bring the grain back, thanks to Fan Yongdou, if he hadn't thought of taking the sea route, I am afraid that the grain would have to be burned in one fire, it seems that this boat master does have its use......"

For the first time, Huang Taiji realized the role of the water division, of course, this was also forced to helpless, although as early as after Kong Youde came to defect to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty even had a water division, and for the Ming Dynasty, in the following years, the most worried was whether the Qing army would use Kong Youde's water division to invade Shandong and other places, and even this was the main reason why the canal dried up and the grain still did not go by sea.

But in fact, whether it was out of the need to attack the Ming Dynasty or to prevent Kong Youde from betraying the Qing Dynasty, after using Kong Youde's sailors to sweep away the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town on the coastal islands, Huang Taiji asked him to tow the boats to the shore and let them be exposed to the wind and sun, and those boats had already turned into a pile of rotten wood.

This time, the reason why he accepted Fan Yongdou's suggestion to transport the money and grain stolen from the Southern Dynasty back to Liaodong by sea was because the losses last year were too great, and even as the emperor, he needed to use the rich spoils to make the Eight Banners return to their hearts. The reason why the Eight Banners can work together is that the "dirty system" from top to bottom has united people's hearts.

"Your Majesty, in fact, compared to Prince Rui's side, Doro Rao Yu Belle's side is more important, if his side is successful, the slave dares to say that there are only three or five years left in the Southern Dynasty at most......"

Doro Rao Yu Belle is Abatai, and while mentioning his side, Fan Wencheng said.

"That Hou Fangyu is indeed a talent, when he returns to Shengjing, the emperor might as well reuse it!"

"Well, it does! Since it's a talent, I'll naturally reuse it,"

Nodding heavily, Huang Taiji was quite complacent, but he was fascinated by the south.

"Mr. Fan, what do you say the rivers and mountains of the Southern Dynasty look like......

At this time, it was the proud Huang Taiji, where there was a large army that had already reached Shengjing City......
