For a while, Lu Xiangsheng, who shook and fell from the horse, was fortunately supported by the guards on the left and right, so he did not fall off the horse. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Lu Xiangsheng, who woke up slowly, looked around, only to see the vast wilderness, the morning wind was strong, and the whole army was silent like a sculpture, and he didn't realize that there were tears in his eyes, and his heart was like a knife.

"Oh my God! Why is it that at the moment of the great enemy, our Ming officials still can't work together to defend against foreign enemies, but they still have to restrain each other like this and tear each other down, what is the reason? Could it be that I've exhausted my energy?! Lu Xiangsheng looked up to the sky and exclaimed: "I think that I have been in the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, how powerful and strong, how can I commit suicide like this when I am today." How can you be worthy of your ancestors and ancestors if you behave like this! How to be worthy of the descendants of the people! ”

Lu Xiangsheng's sad and indignant words echoed in the clear sky for a long time, and the whole army was silent, only the sound of the wind whistling back and forth.

Liu Wenxiu slowly rode over, approached Lu Xiangsheng, and said in a low voice: "Governor Lu, why don't you refuse to accept the king's order because you are outside?" ”

Lu Xiangsheng stared at him for a long time, but shook his head with difficulty.

"I, Lu Xiangsheng, am a loyal minister and filial son from Xu Weiming, and I was entrusted with a heavy responsibility by the emperor, so I can't do this thing of betraying the king! Now that those villains, since they have invited the emperor's decree, how can we, as courtiers, lightly flick the king's decree. Wenxiu, you and Mr. Wang will return to Beijing together. Lu Xiangsheng said with a wry smile.

Liu Wenxiu's face was gloomy, he sighed, and said no more, and then he and Wang Pu said goodbye to Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng looked at Wang Pu and Liu Wenxiu, and after the smoke and dust disappeared in the north, he turned his head with a look of loss and heaviness, and led the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses with Hu Dawei and Yang Guozhu to continue to Zhuozhou.

Under the blazing sun, Lu Xiangsheng, who was silently walking with his head bowed, his lonely and desolate back was stretched for a long time.

。。。。。。

When Lu Xiangsheng led his troops south, Li Xiao, who was in Dengzhou, Shandong, was making every effort to prepare to cross the sea and attack Jinzhou in the north.

This is a major action that Li Xiao finally decided to take after repeated thinking during this period of time.

Although Li Xiao has now ordered Wu Zhuang, the commander of the Zhendong Battalion, to lead the main force of the Zhendong Battalion to cross the Tatar Strait to the west and build a temple street fort at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, Li Xiao believes that the intensity is far from enough.

Now that most of the main forces of the Qing army have entered the customs, and Huang Taiji has personally commanded the main remaining soldiers and horses to oppress the Ming army in western Liaoning, then, in the Qing Kingdom, Liaozhong and Liaonan are all empty, which is simply an excellent opportunity for Li Xiao to sneak attack.

As a result, Li Xiao, who originally only wanted to do a good job in the defense of Shandong, had set his sights on Lushun, Jinzhou, in the north.

Li Xiao's plan was to take advantage of the fact that Huang Taiji had not yet returned to Shenyang, and the sailors would carry the soldiers and horses of the Xingzhong Town A Battalion to raid Jinzhou with all their might, and they must take Jinzhou Lushun City in one fell swoop, and then completely destroy the entire land of Jinzhou.

And after the Qing army's soldiers and horses urgently returned from Liaoxi to help, Li Xiao, who had completely destroyed Jinzhou, had already retreated to Dengzhou, Shandong, so that Huang Taiji, who was busy back and forth, pounced.

Li Xiao believed that if the plan of this surprise attack on Jinzhou could succeed, then, firstly, it would greatly ease the pressure on the Ming army in western Liaoning, so that the Ming army in western Liaoning could smoothly transfer troops and horses into the pass to help. Secondly, the work of building a city at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River will also be smoother because the Qing army is unable to look north.

And if this ferocious sneak attack can beat the Qing army, then Huang Taiji can not figure out his own reality and recall the main force of the Qing army in a hurry, he will have achieved the highest goal of this northern attack on Jinzhou, with the strategy of encircling Wei to save Zhao, so that the Qing army finally retreated.

And the reason why Li Xiao is so confident in attacking Jinzhou is that now he has a large number of exclusive secret weapons in his hands - 70 heavy dragon bombs that can shoot 32 catties of solid iron bullets.

Due to the success of the iron mold casting cannon technology, the artillery factory in Iron Dragon City has greatly increased its production, and it has been producing at full capacity. Up to now, excluding the small and medium-sized dragon guns that were previously put into trial production, there are 70 heavy dragon guns in Li Xiaojun's army that can shoot 32 kilograms of solid iron bullets. And these dragon bombardments are all concentrated in the artillery posts of Xingzhong Town, Dengzhou, which is the key to Li Xiao's confidence.

It is conceivable that with only 20 small and medium-sized dragon mortars of various types, the city walls of Santo Domingo in Taipei can be successfully destroyed. If you use these 70 powerful heavy steel dragon bombers, which can be called the strongest artillery of this era, to attack the city of Lushun in Jinzhou, which was built 200 years ago, what kind of destruction will it be!

Moreover, Li Xiao's subordinates, as well as the 2,000 guns formed by using the captured Dutch arms, have not been cut into blood until now。。。。。。

Li Xiao is a person who does what he says.

Thinking about it, he immediately secretly issued an order to cross the sea and attack Jinzhou in the north.

As the most important sailor ship for this expedition, Li Xiao has already been prepared.

It turned out that Li Xiao did not send all the sailors to meet the west of Zhendongying and cross the Tatar Strait, and the sailors there were basically only small and medium-sized ships. This is because the Qing army's naval division at the mouth of the Heilongjiang River basically does not exist, so Li Xiao can safely send only small ships there.

And all kinds of large battleships and capital warships such as No. 1 and No. 2 Fu ships all gathered in Dengzhou Port, waiting for his next order.

At the same time, the personnel of the Security Division under Li Xiao were also urgently dispatched, so that the ghosts planted in the Qing army, Shen Zhixiang, Wang Tingrui and others, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, should be avoided in advance, so as not to be beaten by Li Xiao in vain because they did not know.

On May 25, the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Li Xiao asked Tian Wei, the chief general of Xingzhong Town, to lead the soldiers and horses of the B battalion of Xingzhong Town to stay in Dengzhou, and he and Liu Guoneng, the deputy general of Xingzhong Town, personally commanded the soldiers and horses of the Xingzhong Town A Battalion of the Tang Army, as well as the artillery post equipped with 70 heavy dragon guns, 2,000 firecrackers, and another 1,000 Xuanhu heavy cavalry, 1,000 flying harriers, and 1,000 horizontal sentinels, and took more than 40 large and medium-sized ships to go north.

The sea and the sky were colorful, the waves were rising, and Li Xiao, who was standing on the command ship Shenglong, was very excited.

He suddenly remembered that he was born in Jinzhou in this era, and it has been seven years since Chongzhen left Jinzhou in the sixth year, and he can finally return to his hometown as a conqueror, how fast!

Li Xiao thought of his birthplace by Shantun, those villagers who were killed by the Qing army, as well as his mother who died tragically and his daughter-in-law who did not pass the door, as well as the hunters Xiao Daquan and Xiao Er, who killed the enemy with him but died in Panlongshan, these various characters kept emerging in his heart, which made Li Xiao feel endless emotion for a while.

Folks, Li Xiao is finally back now, and he finally has a chance to avenge you!

Li Xiao clenched his fists tightly, and a hideous color suddenly flashed on his resolute face.

At this time, it was the end of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, and the fleet traveling all the way to the north was riding the mighty south wind, but after two days, the coast of Jinzhou was faintly visible like a black line emerging from the sea and sky.

Due to the covert actions of the personnel of Li Xiao's Security Division, Shen Zhixiang, Wang Tingrui, and others, who had already received the information, had already led all the sailors to avoid Phi Dao and allowed Li Xiao's sailors to pass freely, not daring to stop them in the slightest.

When the sun was setting in the west, all of Li Xiao's ships were getting closer and closer, and they could finally see the gray and vague shadow of Lushun City in the distance.

"The whole army obeyed the order, and the whole fleet sailed straight into the mouth of Arthur. After the fleet docked, all the soldiers landed and disembarked at the Port of Arthur! Li Xiao ordered awe-inspiringly.

"Obey orders!"

Lushun mouth, formerly known as the lion's mouth, in 1371 AD, Ming Hongwu four years, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent Ma Yun, Ye Wang two generals to lead the army from Shandong Penglai to land across the sea by boat, to recover Liaodong, because the sea journey was smooth sailing, then the lion's mouth was renamed Lushunkou, has been used to this day.

This Lushun Port is a natural deep-water port, the largest port in Jinzhou, which is extremely conducive to Li Xiao's large sailor ships to berth, so Li Xiao did not hesitate to choose to land here.

After going ashore from the mouth of Lushun, it is only a few miles to the west, and it is Lushun City.

In that year, after the Ming army came ashore from the mouth of Lushun, they built the city of Lushun with a circumference of six miles here, which lasted more than two hundred years and expanded to more than eight miles in circumference.

For the Ming Dynasty, the strategic location of this Arthur City is extremely important, it is connected to Denglai Haiphong in the south, the Beijing-Tianjin gateway in the west, the foreign aid to Korea in the east, and the rising Qing Dynasty in the north. It's really an extremely important place to rush to the throat. In a sense, for the Ming Dynasty, whether or not Lushun could be guarded was the foundation of the rise and fall of the imperial court.

It's a sigh that in real history, this Jinzhou Lushun finally fell into the hands of the Qing army in July of the sixth year of Chongzhen.

In that year, Huang Taiji ordered the Red Flag Gushan Ezhen Yue Zhi and the Zhenglan Banner Lord Dege to lead a total of 10,000 elite Jin troops, together with more than 10,000 people of Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, to surrender their troops and attack Jinzhou from both land and sea.

Seeing the fierce attack of the Qing army, Huang Long, the general soldier of Dongjiang Town, led all the defenders to fight bravely against the enemy.

In the midst of great danger, he expected that Lushun would be difficult to hold, so he sent his general Tan Yinghua to Shandong with the seal letter of the chief military officer across the sea, and wrote in the suicide note "I don't love a five-foot body in life, and I only have a three-foot sword after death".

After all the arrangements were made, on July 7, the sixth year of Chongzhen, Huang Long and his eldest son Huang Ce personally went into battle to kill the enemy, and both of them were severely injured and died. Subsequently, his subordinate generals Li Weiluan, as well as Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, Shang Keyi and other subordinate generals of Huanglong, were all killed in the bloody battle. On the day of the city break, the Qing army burned and looted in the city of Lushun, and 5,302 men, women and children in Lushun became prisoners of the Houjin army.

When Li Xiao's fleet was approaching the mouth of Lushun, the Qing troops who were lazy and lazy in coastal forts finally discovered in amazement that from the vast sea, there was a huge and large Ming army fleet coming.

The mournful sound of the swan horn sounded high-pitched. The alarm of the Ming army's attack quickly spread to the city of Lushun.

At this time, the guard in Lushun City, Wanyan Yechen, was holding a banquet.

Wanyan Yechen is a famous general who has fought for the Manchu Qing Dynasty for many years, and his surname is Wanyan. The world is Zhaojia, and then it is attached to Manchuria with a yellow flag. Since the fourth year of the Later Jin Mandate of Heaven (1619), since the old slave attacked the Mongolian Zaisai reinforcements in Tieling of the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless large and small battles. When Chongzhen attacked Jinzhou in the sixth year, he served as a subordinate of Yue Zhen, and made great contributions to the successful capture of Jinzhou by the Later Jin Army.

After the capture of Jinzhou, the main force of the Qing army withdrew, leaving only Wanyan Yechen, who was a third-class viscount at the time, to lead his troops and stay in Lushun for a long time.

Subsequently, Wanyan Yechen continued to kill for the Qing court, and had repeatedly entered the customs to invade the Ming Dynasty, until now, Wanyan Yechen has been promoted to Gushan Ezhen, leading 3000 soldiers and horses with yellow flags, stationed in the Jinzhou area. In the entire Jinzhou, in addition to the more than 1,000 Manchurian Qing troops scattered in Jinxian, Qingniwa, Kichangyi and other places, the Manchurian Qing army stationed in the important town of Lushun had nearly 2,000 people.

In addition, in Lushun City, there are 2,000 Han troops under Shang Kexi, the king of Zhishun, and Xu Erxian, who was the deputy commander-in-chief at the time, and the defense force of the entire Lushun City has reached nearly 4,000 people.

With these 4,000 troops stationed, if there is no major war, it is more than enough to defend this Lushun place. Therefore, before Li Xiao led the army to attack quietly, Lushun, which had not had any war for many years, was extremely lax in its defenses.

At this time, in the official residence of the Qing army camp in Lushun City, Wanyan Yechen and a group of Manchurian officers held a barbecue banquet here, according to Manchurian customs.

In the hall of the official residence, there was a raging fire, and on the huge fire, there was a whole cow shelf that was scorching and charred and attractive, and Wanyan Yechen and a number of Manchurian generals sat on the ground according to Manchurian customs, each wearing only a close-fitting short coat, holding a huge brass wine glass, while leaning his neck and drinking bitterly, while from time to time cutting a piece of beef roasted with a knife that was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and stuffed it into his mouth until the oil foamed and bubbled.

The Manchurian generals, who were already half-drunk at the moment, had no etiquette at all, spewed alcohol on each other, and kept saying vulgar and obscene words and brothels in Manchu to amuse each other.

The blazing firelight reflected the already red face of Wanyan Yechen.

This is a typical post-Jin Jurchen face, with crooked eyebrows, long slanted eyes, a slender face, the corners of the mouth are downturned, the chin is pointed and thin, and behind the shaved blue head are two small greasy money rats.

"Prince Su is really not interesting, on weekdays, he always says that our Lord Ezhen is his confidant, but this time the barbarians of the southern expedition, but they insist on not bringing Lord Ezhen and me, saying that the terrain in Jinzhou is dangerous, and you have to be here to guard safely. Hmph, even the stupidest Han Nikan doesn't believe this. A drunken Manchurian officer muttered as he rolled his eyes.

Although this person was talking about wine, he said what was in the heart of Yan Yechen.

Wanyan Yechen, who was holding a large piece of beef, did not speak, his beard was full of dirty greasy, and under the reflection of the blazing firelight, Wanyan Yechen's whole face was quite distorted, outlining his face more obviously, the obvious dissatisfaction and resentment on his face.

"That is, now this Golden State, our army has been defending it for almost seven years, and half of the Ming army has not seen it. What's more, the current Ming army, under the continuous blows of our army, has long been frightened, how can anyone dare to come! It's a pity, this opportunity to enter the customs and make meritorious contributions was lost in vain, otherwise, how could Lao Tzu catch a few more coats and come back, by the way, and catch a few more beautiful men and girls to come back, and warm up our bodies. A Manchurian officer with a hideous scar on his face also said with a look of loss.

"Say no more! The meaning of the masters is not something that we slaves can figure out at will. Wanyan Yechen shouted angrily, interrupting their complaints in distraction.

It is true that Dar Xiang has a grudge against Prince Su Haoge for entering the customs and plundering without himself, but he really let him criticize his master recklessly, and he does not have the guts.

After all, Haoge is the master, and he is only a slave of the master, so since the master has spoken, the slave can only accept the arrangement no matter how reluctant he is.

What's more, because of the forced marriage of the daughter of the Mongolian Taijibolo, Huang Taiji in order to punish him, he also took away his position as the owner of the yellow flag.

When Yan Ye Chenfu poured a full cup of copper water and wine into his throat, with a bang, the door of the official hall hall was violently pushed open by a small soldier who reported the news.

Shocked by this, Wanyan Yechen didn't have time to swallow a sip of wine, and choked and coughed.

As the gate opened, the mournful sound of the alarm swan horn was faintly audible.

A group of Manchurian generals, everyone was shocked. It's strange, how is it so good, why did this alarm go off?

"Why are you so rude to break in, and why is the alarm going off outside?!" After Yan Yechen stopped coughing for a while, he frowned, and shouted at the little soldier who reported the news in a loud voice.

"It's really a big deal, it's a big deal!" Xiao Bing replied with a frightened and panting face: "Yes, there is a large number of Ming fleets, which are galloping in the direction of Lushunkou!" ”
