Chapter 327: Lushun 1

The change of Emperor Jin was full of blood, and it seemed to smell even as far away as Qi Province.

Jin Taizu's sons are wantonly purging the descendants of Wanyan Wu Qimai, as well as the power of several of Jin Taizu's brothers, regardless of whether they are Jurchen or not, as long as they are officials who support Wanyan Wu Qimai's line (or are thought to support Wanyan Wu's begging and buying line), not only can they not save their own lives, but even the entire family of men and cronies will be killed, and their wives and concubines will be divided up as slaves.

Xu Shiyang didn't know how many people the four princes of the Wanyan family had killed, but he knew that this number must be very small.

Because there have been many Han people who have been plundered to Liaodong, and even Khitan, Xi, Goryeo, and Zhenjurchen have fled to Qi Province.

This was completely impossible before, because the Jurchen aristocracy, which regarded the population as a part of their property and controlled the movement of slaves under their hands very strictly, now that so many people have fled smoothly, it is enough to imagine how chaotic the political situation in Liaodong was.

In fact, the number of people received by Qi Province was relatively small, and according to the confessions of the fugitives, many more fled to the Mugul, Shengjurchen and Goryeo.

Xu Shiyang guessed that the Jurchen Tatars' losses in the civil strife were probably a little greater than the fiasco of the last attack on Qi Province.

Xu Shiyang is not Song Xianggong, since the Tartars themselves have tossed themselves weaker, the new army that has been prepared will naturally take advantage of his illness to kill him.

March 16 of the first year of Longdao.

All the ships of the Qi Provincial Naval Division gathered in Dengzhou, with a total of 11 large sea vessels, 85 medium sea vessels, and 55 small sea vessels.

Such a sea force is enough to put the strength of two field brigades into Liaodong at one time.

However, the amphibious landing operation in front of the enemy is not as simple as transporting people to the shore and then throwing them ashore, Xu Shiyang specially found Li Feihu, borrowed 200 old pirates from him who had participated in the battle of plundering Nagasaki Port, and conducted two landing combat exercises near Dengzhou, so it was not until this time that he was ready.

On 17 March, the fleet departed from Hong Kong one after another under the leadership of the flagship "Dengyingzhou," and the first wave of landing operations were the Dingyuan Brigade, which was the most well-equipped and most effective in the new army, and the Jingyuan Brigade, which was composed of mounted infantry.

Due to the possibility of street fighting, Xu Shiyang also brought a trap army with cold weapons in the first wave of the fleet.

The two brigades, plus the trappers and Xu Shiyang's guards and the pirates sent by Li Feihu to help in the battle, the marine army had a total of only 4,000 men.

However, there are not many soldiers in the elite, and the attack is close but unprepared for the attack in southern Liaoning, Xu Shiyang thinks that these forces are enough.

……

Liaonan.

Jin Guo does not attach great importance to coastal defense, these wild people from the deep mountains and old forests are very afraid of the sea, they dare not enter the water easily, and they don't even like to go to the beach to see.

Therefore, the guard of Lushun is not a real Jurchen, but a mocking aristocrat Xiao Fonu.

In fact, Xiao Fonu did not often live in Lushun in the past—although it was a wealthy place with many merchants, it was often harassed by the Japanese pirates.

Most of the materials traded in Port Arthur, including the New Year's coins from Jiangnan Shipping some time ago, need to be handed over directly to Liaoyang, and they have nothing to do with him Xiao Fonu.

What's more, Xiao Fonu has some soldiers and horses in his hands, as a foreigner, if he is away for a long time, it is estimated that Dajin will not be very at ease with him.

Therefore, before six months at the latest, Xiao Fonu lived directly in Liaoyang for at least half of the year, and the rest of the time had to spend part of the time on the road between Lushun and Liaoyang.

It wasn't until Xu Shiyang intercepted the fleet of Sui's coins in Jiangnan outside Port Arthur that Dajin Tianhui Khan realized that his coastal defense was too weak, so he ordered Xiao Fonu to strengthen Lushun's defense.

By the way, he also sent him a real female real Meng'an as an assistant.

The real Jurchen Meng'an was too afraid of the sea, so he did not station in Lushun, but squatted in Jinzhou, and said: If there is a Han dog coming from the sea, he can lead the Dajin Iron Horse to arrive quickly and kick the Han dog directly into the sea .......

Xiao Fonu wanted to know that since they were so confident, why didn't they just station in Lushun and simply not let the Han people land.

But this is unthinkable, although Xiao Fonu is a ten thousand households at the level of Bo Jilie, but he is a Jurchen nation, and he still understands this truth.

What's more, the Jurchens are not in Lushun, and Xiao Fonu's life can be a little easier.

"Master!" A soldier of the Xi people ran to Xiao Funu's side, knelt down and said, "There is a fleet of ships from outside Hong Kong, under the banner of the Li family, saying that they are here to send New Year's coins. ”

"New Year's coins?" Xiao Fonu said in surprise: "Didn't Jiangnan change the emperor?" How can there be New Year's coins shipped? ”

"This ......, the minions don't know, that's what they say."

"How did you reply to them?" Xiao Fonu asked.

"Back to the master, as usual, let them enter the port by themselves and find a place to unload the goods."

The Jurchen regime did not attach importance to sea power, and naturally did not attach importance to port construction, and now the infrastructure of Port Arthur was built more than 20 years ago when the Great Liao was still there, and it has been quite dilapidated for such a long time.

Moreover, when Da Liao was there, there was no mention of diversion of water, and the merchant ships that came to trade in Port Arthur entered the port by themselves to find a place to anchor, and then unloaded their cargo in small boats.

This is still the case, of course, but in fact, this unplanned approach often causes Port Arthur to be clogged with small fleets.

For example, last time, although only half of the ships of the Li family's fleet escaped into the port, it still caused a big blockage in Arthur Port, and it was not until a few days ago that it was barely dredged and all the goods on board were unloaded.

Coupled with the Liaoyang coup d'état, the reason why the decree was not smooth, there was even the last New Year's coin here that could not be shipped.

To sum up, Xiao Fonu's subordinates let the fleet outside the port enter the port on their own and find a place to berth and unload their cargo, but they didn't do anything wrong.

It's just that Xiao Fonu always feels that something is wrong with today's situation, and he feels that he is a little flustered for no reason.

"Send someone to those ships to see ......, no, let's go in person."

Xiao Fonu says:

"Send someone to gather the soldiers in the city."

"Huh." The Xi man first agreed, and then raised his head and asked, "Master, do you want to notify Jinzhou?" ”

"Don't do it yet." Xiao Fonu shook his head: "The Jurchens are not very easy to speak, if they are false police, we will not be able to eat and leave." ”

"Huh."

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, there was a thunderous sound in the direction of the port.

Xiao Fonu raised his head suspiciously, and glanced over there:

"Thunder at this time of year, too?"

But then he realized that it wasn't thunder.

Because he saw a cloud of smoke and dust rising from the harbor, it was more like someone had thrown a big stone at the harbor, destroying and burning several houses.

Then, the sound of explosion and thunder came continuously:

Boom Boom Boom!

"Enemy Attack !!"

Dajin Guolu Shun guarded the general, like a rooster pinched by the neck, desperately squeezing out a piercing scream from his throat.
