It was as if nothing had happened in Jinzhou, and the Manchus seemed to have forgotten about it.

The half-crippled yellow flag was re-recruited, and the number of soldiers quickly recovered. After the war, the two banner lords of Hauge and Hamin did not leave a single soldier behind, and all returned to Mandu. The strength of Jinzhou did not decrease, but doubled as before, and in the following years, 16,000 Han Eight Banners were stationed in Jinzhou and were never mobilized.

Not only Jinzhou, but also Suzhou was garrisoned with heavy troops, and even a large number of Han people in Suzhou were relocated. Although he knew that the Han army was entering the sea, the Tartars still did not relax their vigilance against the Han army. After all, this Han army woke up the arrogance of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and regained the fighting spirit of the Manchu nobles who were becoming more and more comfortable.

"Born in sorrow and died in peace, how clear the Han sages were, I am not reconciled, even if I am given two or three more years..."On September 3, 1643, the peak overlord of the Manchu Qing Dynasty came to a complete end, and died earlier than in history.

After the death of Huang Taiji, Hauge, whose strength was greatly damaged, did not fight fiercely for power in Dolgon, and after a compromise between all parties, Xiao Fulin succeeded to the throne, and the regent Dolgon also ascended to the top of power as in history.

The war in Liaodong stopped, but the war in the Central Plains was still fierce. It is said that in thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, it is just that in more than ten years, the power of the righteous army and the imperial court has been subverted. Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng conquered the city, and the territory expanded day by day, except for the Jiangnan and Jiangbei barely resisted the righteous army, the Ming army in various places could not resist. Clear-eyed people already know that the Ming Dynasty in the north has come to an end.

……

"My lord, we don't have much food, and we have too little to support the boat." After settling down on Zhangzi Island, Zhao Lao finally couldn't help but talk about the difficulties he was facing now.

Chen Xiong nodded, in fact, he also knew this, winter was coming, it was time to leave the north early. The size of the island is too small, and the harvest will not be too large.

"We are short of food and ships, what do the commanders think?"

As soon as Chen Xiong finished speaking, Chen Chang spoke: "The Lord Tartar is now very tightly guarded, and most of the Tartar villages near the sea have been moved. ”

Chen Changzhi did not recommend landing in Liaodong again, because the gains outweighed the losses.

Chen Xiong nodded, and then looked at everyone. Elder Zhao knew that Chen Xiong had a plan, so he didn't say much.

"My lord, we should capture Dachangshan Island and Guanglu Island, and the defenders of the two islands are more than 1,000 people, and it is easy to solve them. It is estimated that there are still several thousand people on the two islands, and food is quite abundant. Zhang Shou said lightly, but in his heart, he hoped that his subordinates would be the main attackers.

Chen Xiong nodded and smiled: "Okay, Commander Zhang has the same opinion as me." The three of you, six thousand, should also move. ”

"Zhang Shou, this time your troops will capture Dachangshan Island."

Zhang Shou stood up and clenched his fists: "Respect the order." ”

Chen Xiong nodded and asked Zhang Shou to sit down, and then said: "Wu Liu, your troops will capture Guanglu Island, and Chen Chang, you will lead the ships as support. ”

"Honorable Order, Lord."

Seeing that everyone was quiet, looking at the smile on Chen Xiong's face, Zhao Lao couldn't help but ask, "Does the lord have a better arrangement?"

"Haha, Zhao Laoye, who knows me!" Chen Xiong couldn't help but laugh and said.

Wu Jiu, who had been silent, couldn't help but smile: Most of the lord's thoughts were written on his face, and it was not difficult to see.

Everyone looked at the lord suspiciously, not knowing what the lord's arrangements were.

"You seem to have forgotten that there is another country to the east, and there will be no shortage of food and supplies when you get there."

Goryeo~

Zhao Lao looked at Chen Xiong suspiciously: "My lord, Goryeo has surrendered to the Manchus, I'm afraid they may not be willing to support us." They may even reveal our whereabouts. ”

Chen Xiong said: "It is good to surrender to the Manchu Qing, but I am afraid that he is not an enemy." We don't need their support, we take what we want. ”

"Okay, my lord, we'll take it ourselves." Wu Liu immediately agreed.

"Yes, these traitors don't need to be polite to them." Chen Chang also couldn't get used to this Goryeo country, and during the Wanli period for them, the Ming army didn't know how many people died. Now that the Ming Dynasty is in trouble, they have taken refuge in the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Lao frowned and then stretched out: "Yes, what the general said is extremely true." There were a lot of Goryeo ships, and more importantly, their soldiers were inferior to the border army. ”

……

The sea breeze is howling, and the morning sun is not yet warm.

"Doesn't the lord bring more people?" Wu Jiu couldn't help but persuade again.

Chen Xiong shook his head: "You can rest assured, Mu Yi and many of their brothers have been living in Goryeo over the years, and they have come to greet them." ”

"Well, that's good, that's good!" Although he had doubts, Wu Jiu didn't think about it anymore.

Thousands of native Han troops headed west, while Chen Xiong headed northeast with only two large ships and 300 soldiers.

The Han army swept through Jinzhou and shocked people's hearts, and the captured sailors were now willing to operate ships for the Han army.

"Ship boss, I'm sorry for you this time." They tied up these southern sailors, and Chen Xiong always felt that he couldn't go.

The black and thin middle-aged sailor panicked: "The general is polite, do your best for the Han army, we Han people should do." ”

"Don't worry, you will be free when you return to Dengzhou after a while." After all, navigation is risky, and the road after that is still safe on land. As for the Dashun Army and the four major warlords of Jiangbei, he Chen Xiong really didn't pay attention to it.

"This~" The boat boss was stunned, not knowing how to say it.

Seeing that the boat boss was also a little embarrassed, Chen Xiong said again: "The boat boss, our Han army is preparing to return to Lingnan, and we will inevitably form a naval division of the Han army in the future. ”

There are many sailors in Fujian, so Chen Xiong is interested in chatting with the boat boss from Fujian. "Sailor?"

The boat boss looked at Chen Xiong in surprise, and then immediately became excited.

"Then why don't the general go all the way south and find the nearest dock." The Ming Dynasty is almost finished, and now it is a warlord ruling the world, and the ship boss believes that as long as the Han army returns to Fujian, it will be to sweep thousands of troops and take Fujian lightly. At that time, as a local collaborator of the Han army, he will be able to soar.

Chen Xiong knew what the boat boss meant, but he had his own purpose.

"The wharf in Fujian is really good, but the main force of our Han army must be wolf soldiers."

The wolf soldiers~ The boat boss breathed tightly, the wolf soldiers dared to fight, and they were notoriously ruthless, but they have always regarded themselves as authentic Han people, very xenophobic, and looked down on outsiders. The commander of the wolf soldiers must be Lingnan Han people, otherwise they will not be willing to serve.

This is a historical legacy of the problem, Lingnan has always been wild, and the Han people who came to Lingnan to settle down and take root have always been regarded as the barbarians of the south of the Yangtze River by the Central Plains. Over time, the Lingnan Han people are very disgusted with outsiders. This is also the nature of human beings, and self-centered human nature will inevitably pay more attention to oneself and despise outsiders.

"By the way, the general is from Lingnan, that's right." When the boat boss thought of this, it was clear that there were heroes in the world, and the Han army would naturally return to Lingnan to recruit troops first.

Liangguang belongs to the Lingnan territory, but not all people in all places can be called wolf soldiers. In the place where the Han and Zhuang ethnic groups assimilated and met, the place with many mountains and forests was the place with the most wolf soldiers.

The land of wolf soldiers is full of mountains and rivers, and there are many poisonous insects, poisonous snakes, mosquitoes and ants, and mountain wolves, wild boars and tigers are all over the mountains. There are many mountains and few lands, and people have to be very diligent. Rain is abundant, but it also leads to frequent floods and flash floods, and people who live here spend almost their entire lives fighting against insects and animals.

In some places where the Han people in Lingnan are close to the sea and big rivers, the living environment is relatively good, and most of them are literati and merchants. Only the Lingnan people who came from poor mountains and bad waters are the land that produces wolf soldiers. Of course, not only the Han nationality, but also many other Sinicized ethnic groups in Lingnan are wolf soldiers.

Lingnan farmers are very united when they go out, but when they return to the local area, most of them are scattered, and no one obeys anyone. Due to the lack of land and the small waterways, there are fights every year over the problem of directing the flow of water. There are many people who fight in the village, the surname fights, and even the family fights, and even the brothers fight for land. The land where wolf soldiers are born is also a place of contradictions. is like a double-edged sword, if you use it well, since it is a sword that is cold in Kyushu, if you don't use it well, it will hurt others and hurt yourself.
