When the group arrived at Tianjin Wei, Zhou Zheng saw Cao Bianjiao and others, made some arrangements, and then went to Denglai, but one day, he boarded the ship and rushed straight to Lushun.

At this time, Lushun was tense and solemn.

Huang Long and many of his generals, Li Weiluan, Xiang Zuolin, Shang Keyi, Shang Kexi, etc., were busy, making tense defensive arrangements.

A group of Lushun leaders sat down in the Lushun official office, discussing defensive matters.

The current Lushun is naturally not comparable in history, whether it is troops, food and grass, or morale, etc., it is not the same day.

What's more, the current city is tall and guarded by cannons, which is simply impregnable.

Tan Yinghua, the deputy general of Huanglong, looked at Huanglong and said, "My lord, Jianyu is coming, why does the governor think that he is coming to my Lushun?" My Lushun is far away from Shenyang, and there is no big threat to Jianyu, so why not go to Phi Island? Phi Dao is the heart of Dongjiang Town. ”

Everyone listened and looked at Huang Long curiously. Tan Yinghua is absolutely right. Lushun is the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and it is not an important threat, why did Jianyu leave Phi Island and come to Lushun?

Huang Long looked indifferent and said, "In this, there may be the role of Kong Youde." We are Lushun, too close to Shandong. ”

Everyone was stunned, and Shang Keyi said angrily: "Kong Youde should die!" My heart will not die! My lord, why don't you write to Governor Zhou and ask him to send troops to support, and we will fight in Lushun like we did in Youtun, so that Jianyu will know that we are powerful! ”

Li Weiluan knew that Shang Keyi was a rough man, so he said angrily: "Do you think that you are the governor of Zhou, and more than 10,000 people dare to rush to the camp of the thief chieftain?" Governor Zhou was already on his way here, and before he arrived, he was not allowed to talk nonsense to the soldiers. ”

Shang Keyi snorted at Li Weiluan, but didn't say anything more.

Huang Wenlong saw that everyone was not in the mood of timidity, and his heart calmed down a lot, and he said in a deep voice: "I have received a letter from the governor. The Governor's meaning is to be prepared with both hands, and not to be taken lightly. After he arrives, he will transfer Phi Dao and Lushun, you must be prepared, you must strictly obey the orders of the governor, if anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin, the governor will ask for the guilt, I can't protect you! ”

Everyone nodded, and even many people held their breath.

Although Zhou Zheng took over as governor of Denglai for only a few months, his military law was very strict, and the hundreds of people he sent had already executed hundreds of people in the Huanglong army, including two deputy generals, and Huanglong was powerless to oppose at all.

First, Zhou is the boss, and it is too easy to clean up Huanglong; The second is that Zhou Zheng gave Lushun a lot of money and food, which really bought people's hearts, and many people are inclined to Zhou Zheng.

Zhou Zheng had a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, and he caught Huanglong's troops to death.

At this moment, a guard dressed in the armor of an ordinary soldier came in, glanced at the many generals present, came to Huang Long's side, and whispered a few words in his ear.

Huang Long nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go immediately." ”

The guard answered, and turned to go out.

Tan Yinghua, Li Weiluan and others all knew that this was someone sent by Zhou Zheng, mainly responsible for communication, and a group of people looked at Huang Long.

Huang Long pondered for a moment and said, "Lord Zhou will arrive in Lushun soon, and you will each get ready." Lord Zhou will definitely inspect the defense matters, and if he finds a flaw at this juncture, he will be the first to take someone! ”

Everyone got up one after another, raised their hands and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

Huang Long stood up, looked at Tan Yinghua, and said, "The affairs in the city are temporarily presided over by you, and I will pick up Lord Zhou." ”

Tan Yinghua said: "Yes! ”

Huang Long didn't say much, took the people, went straight out of Lushun City, and rode to the sea.

Huang Long stood on the seashore and waited for a while before waiting for Zhou Zheng's boat. Zhou Zheng did not get off the boat, but called Huang Long to the boat.

After more than an hour, Huang Long returned to Lushun City with Sun Chuanting and Chu Jin.

Huang Long quickly gathered the generals and rearranged the city of Arthur.

He stood in front of his chair, looked at the eight people standing in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "The latest information, the total number of Jianyu troops is about 40,000, and the target is Phi Island. Now, I announce the order of the governor: Tan Yinghua and Li Weiluan will lead an army of 12,000 to aid Phi Dao, and Lushun will be left behind by Shang Kexi's 3,000 men, and the sailors will soon arrive, and everyone will be ready to board the ship! ”

The generals were puzzled for a while, Lushun only left 3,000 people who were still gratifying?

Is this a joke?

Lushun and Shandong, Tianjin Wei is not far away, isn't Governor Zhou afraid of losing? Losing Lushun, Shandong, Tianjin Wei Ke is in danger, Governor Zhou doesn't know the importance of this matter?

Huang Long knew that everyone was puzzled, but he didn't care, and said, "This is the order of the governor, and all the cannons must also be taken away." Phi Dao, there must be no mistakes, I believe everyone understands! This is a military order, and no one can question it, let alone oppose it! Everyone, get ready now! ”

Although everyone was puzzled, they still raised their hands and said, "The last general will take the order!" ”

Sun Chuanting stood behind Huang Long, taking in the expressions of the group of people.

Especially Shang Kexi, he frowned, as if he was in a big trouble.

After Huang Long finished speaking, he looked at Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting's face did not move, and he nodded slightly.

As a result, the city of Arthur moved quickly, and a large number of troops packed their bags and began to leave the city one after another, preparing to board ships to support Phi Dao.

Lushun City was visibly empty, with only 3,000 people stationed at Shang Kexi.

Lushun is at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, bordering the Bohai Sea in the west and the Yellow Sea in the east.

Weihaiwei in Lushun and Dengzhou, guarding the entrance to the Bohai Sea, was the most important strategic fulcrum for the defense of Tianjin and Gyeonggi.

Shang Kexi watched the army withdraw, frowning all the time, his expression was solemn, and his eyes flickered to the north.

One of his subordinates looked at it, thinking that he was worried, and comforted: "My lord, Jianyu is going to Phi Island, we should be safe here, so there is no need to worry." ”

Shang Kexi glanced at him and said lightly: "Mr. Huang has boarded the ship?" ”

The subordinates hurriedly said: "Yes, the governor has mobilized nearly a hundred ships, and his subordinates have watched Lord Huang get on the ship and go towards Phi Dao." ”

Shang Kexi was indifferent for a while and said, "I know." ”

The subordinates wanted to persuade again, but they were called away by the people below.

Shang Kexi thought about it again and again, turned around and went out of the city, and hurried towards the place where Huang Long and the others boarded the ship.

I saw a team of more than 10,000 people, boarding the ship one after another, and the ships in front had already gone out to sea, and the journey was very long, and the front one could no longer be seen clearly.

Shang Kexi exhaled softly and stood for a long time, until all the ships disappeared from view, and then his eyes turned back to the city with joy.

In the sixth year of Chongzhen, at the beginning of July.

Jianyu Bel Amin and Azig led an army of 40,000 out of Shenyang, and the army was stationed north of the Yalu River, looking at the direction of Phi Dao.

The rebel general Kong Youde and others are also in the army at the moment.

Amin looked at Azig, Yue Tuo, Kong Youde and the others, and said in a deep voice: "This time, we want to teach the Southern Barbarians a lesson and tell them that Liaodong is my Dajin!" They don't want to get involved. Send troops tomorrow to conquer Phi Island! ”

Azig, Yue Tuo and others naturally had no objections, they sent troops this time because the Ming Dynasty's governor Denglai tried to rebuild Dongjiang Town, which threatened them.

Kong Youde's triangular eyes flickered, looked at Amin, and said in a deep voice: "Baylor, the Ming Dynasty knows that our army is coming, and has dispatched troops from all over the country to protect Phi Island, Lushun is empty, if our army takes the opportunity to raid, Lushun will go down!" ”

When Azig heard this, he said, "Are you serious? ”

Lushun they don't pay attention to it, but Lushun is the closest place to Shandong and Tianjin Wei in the Ming Dynasty, if they conquer Lushun, they may be able to bypass Liaodong and directly attack the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty!

Kong Youde looked calm and said, "Really! I have cronies within the Ming army, and I can't say that I can bring thousands of elite soldiers to my Dajin! ”

Yue Tuo immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for, the soldiers are fast, send troops immediately!" ”

The current Jianyu is completely different from the history, they failed to enter the fortress, did not plunder too many Han people, and there were not many Ming generals who surrendered, plus repeated losses, not only the Jianyu cavalry, but also the Han soldiers were very few.

They need a population, they need soldiers!

Amin sneered in his heart, but said: "Take Phi Island first, and then go back and clean up Lushun!" ”

Everyone was stunned, and Kong Youde hurriedly said: "What Baylor said is that the Ming army gathered troops on Phi Island, and if they take Phi Island, Lushun will not be a problem." ”

Azig, Yue Tuo and the others thought about it, and there didn't seem to be anything wrong with it, so they nodded in response.

Soon, more than 40,000 troops crossed the Yalu River and went straight to Phi Dao.

But when they got to the other side of Phi Island, they found that it was not that simple.

Before they got close to the sea, they were bombarded by the Ming Dynasty sailors, with fifty ships and hundreds of cannons, and the bombardment on the shore was not ordinary.

After detecting the defense of Phi Dao again, Jianyu was a little dumbfounded.

How to attack Phi Dao? Now it is impossible to build ships comparable to the naval divisions carrying artillery in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, there are still 30,000 troops on Phi Island, even if they attack the island, will they definitely be able to capture it?

Kong Youde stood on the shore, looking at the cold sailor from afar, and then at Phi Dao, as if he could see clearly the Ming general who was waiting for him, but he couldn't figure it out in his mind.

The Ming army, where did the money and grain come from to build a water division and put artillery back?

I'm afraid it will cost millions of taels of silver, right?

Phi Dao should be poor in food and people, how can it be completely different from what he expected?

In the big tent, Amin and the others sank like water.

Azig said hatefully: "The news from the North Korean side says that the Ming Dynasty has tens of thousands of people on Phi Island, and if you add those from Lushun, there are 30,000 at least." Enough grain and grass to feed a year's ......"

Yue Tuo glanced at Amin and the others, his eyes were gloomy and solemn, and said, "Zhou Zhengyun is an extraordinary person, he has repeatedly ruined my big gold affairs. He is the governor of Denglai, and we should have known that things are not so simple! ”

Amin looked at Kong Youde and said, "Phi Dao, do you have a way?" ”

Kong Youde's triangular eyes were panicked, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, but the Ming Dynasty is strictly guarded, and I can't contact him at all." ”

Azig snorted coldly and said, "Even if you get in touch, it won't help!" How can we get to Phi Island if we don't destroy this sailor first, and carry a cannon that comes and goes freely on the sea? ”

Amin looked at Kong Youde and said, "Didn't you say that you can make a better cannon?" Why is the range still inferior to that of the Southern Barbarians? ”

Kong Youde is now a minion, listening to Amin's questioning, he said with a stiff expression: "The craftsman is already refining, and it will take some time." ”

Amin snorted coldly, looked around at everyone, and said, "What do you say?" ”

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I didn't pay attention for a while.

Phi Dao is overseas, and if they want to attack Phi Dao, they must have warships, but where can they find warships?

Although the DPRK secretly communicated with them, it was impossible for them to gather enough warships to deal with the Ming Dynasty's sailors.

In history, the reason why the Qing army was able to break through Phi Dao was that the people of Phi Dao were scattered and the guards were insufficient, plus Kong Youde and others were familiar with Phi Dao, and most importantly, Kong Youde defected and brought more than 50 warships to Jianyu!

Now, the situation is completely different, and they are helpless!

Everyone wrinkled their eyebrows and pondered, they came for Phi Island in this battle, if they couldn't break through Phi Island, what was the point of them coming?

Could it be that Phi Dao has always existed, so that their Dajin Kingdom is like a man's back, and they can't sleep peacefully?

Seeing that everyone didn't speak, Kong Youde hurriedly said: "Baylor, although there are heavy troops on Phi Island, then Lushun must be empty. Lushun was very important to the Ming Dynasty, and if I occupied it, it would not only threaten Shandong, but also Tianjinwei, the gateway to Gyeonggi, so they would not die without help. Only if we take Lushun, the Ming Dynasty will definitely save it, and the sailors are in Phi Dao again, so we can only transfer troops from Phi Dao......"

Yue Tuo understood and said: "You mean, take Lushun and let the Ming army come to the rescue, we will defeat the Ming army in Lushun, and then eat Phi Dao with our backhand?"

Kong Youde said: "What Yue Tobeile said is that this is what the last general means. ”

Amin listened to the corners of his eyes narrowing slightly, and seeing that everyone had no opinions, he clapped his hands and said, "Send troops to Lushun immediately!" ”

Under Amin's order, the Jianyu army turned around and turned to Lushun.

Every move of the Jianyu army was under the surveillance of the Ming Dynasty, and soon the news reached He Kegang, who was guarding Phi Dao.

He Kegang listened to all kinds of information, his expression was indifferent, and he said: "Send a message to the governor: The whole army of Jianyu rushed to Lushun, and there are traces of Mongolia, Han army, and North Korea in the army. ”

"Yes!" The brocade-clothed secret guard responded and quickly turned to leave.

Arthur City.

Shang Kexi had 3,000 people, guarding Lushun alone, and the army did not come, and the huge Lushun was a little empty.

Shang Kexi was conscientious, patrolling the city every day, and at the same time keeping an eye on the north of Lushun, just in case.

By the middle of July, the weather was getting hotter, and the guards of Arthur City were a little relaxed, and the soldiers were too hot to complain about the uninterrupted and strict defense of the city.

Shang Kexi killed more than a dozen fleeing soldiers in public, which stifled the laziness and relaxation of Lushun City.

Shang Kexi's prestige suddenly rose, and he almost said the same thing in Lushun City.

In late July, the Jianyu army came as scheduled and approached the city of Arthur.

There were only 3,000 people in Lushun, and the people were suddenly panicked and extremely uneasy.

The 40,000-strong army faced the 3,000-strong Lushun, and there was hardly any suspense.

The whole city of Lushun was frightened and uneasy, and all kinds of rumors spread up and down the city.

Three days before the arrival of the Jianyu army, Shang Kexi gathered his men.

There are four people in total, all of whom have been Shang Kexi's generals for many years, and they have been born and died for many years.

Shang Kexi was expressionless and said: "I know that rumors are flying in the city, and if you build an army of 40,000 people, you will lose this battle." It is a matter of life and death for my brothers, and although I am a general, I cannot decide at will, and I want to hear your thoughts. ”

Of the four people standing, one of them looked at Shang Kexi, glanced at the other three, and said with a flickering look in his eyes: "My lord, we currently have three paths, first, hold on, there will definitely be no way to live." Second, retreat, but behind us is the sea, there is no way to retreat, and there are less than 100 people who can dive into the sea. The Third Way...... Reduced gold. ”

The other three listened and couldn't help but look at each other, this is calculated, only surrender and build a captive to survive?

Shang Kexi was still expressionless, looked at the three people who didn't speak, and said, "It's a matter of life and death for the three thousand brothers, how do you decide that I won't interfere." ”

The three hesitated for a while, and one of them raised his hand to Shang Kexi and said, "My lord, what is the decision?" ”

Shang Kexi said lightly: "Your decision is my decision." ”

Shang Kexi didn't say anything, but he made the meaning very clear.

The three of them looked hesitant, and one of them glanced at the soldiers standing outside, and hurriedly raised his hand and said, "My lord's decision is my decision." ”

The other two seemed to wake up suddenly, raised their hands and said, "We swear to follow the Lord to the death!" ”

Shang Kexi's face, which had been indifferent, finally showed a smile, and said, "Okay, you restrain your subordinates, follow me at any time, I promise not to treat any brother badly!" ”
