330 small actions
"General, there's a letter from my hometown!"
For Dayuan Island, the base area of Hongmen, as long as it is subordinate to Hongmen, but independent of the Hongmen system, it is always affectionately called his hometown to show his loyalty to Dayuan Island.
“……”
Shang Kexi took the letter, examined it at a glance, put it on the table, and then instructed his subordinates: "Please invite the two generals Geng and Kong to come and discuss the matter!" ”
"Yes!"
The soldiers had to be ordered, leaving Shang Kexi alone to guard the governor's mansion, which originally belonged to Mao Wenlong.
The 20,000 army left Dayuan Island after the Dragon Boat Festival this year, went straight north to Phi Island, and took the entire Phi Island into the bag without much effort, and killed more than 2,000 Qing Dynasty soldiers, and more than 10 tribes of all sizes, and captured more than 3,000 old and weak women and children.
By the time the time came to the beginning of July, they had completely established themselves on Phi Dao, re-established themselves in the heart of the Liaodong Peninsula, and became a thorn in the side of the Qing people.
For the Joseon Dynasty, which originally ruled Phi Dao and other Joseon dynasties, they were relieved by the arrival of Hongtang's army, but at the same time, they were not without complaints and worries.
At this time, the Korean kingdom was still in the sequelae of the Bingzi Rebellion, although because of the existence of the butterfly of the Brown Sugar Army, the final direction of the Bingzi Rebellion became completely different, so that North Korea had very few treaties at the national level compared to the original history of the loss of power and humiliation of the country, but the damage to the people and soldiers at the bottom was greater.
Cui Mingji, the new consul of the council, is a sober-minded figure, when the Qing people were in the city, he was doing work with the idea of the lord and peace, and after the Qing people accepted the surrender of the Korean king and others, and officially included the Korean kingdom into the retreat of the Qing Dynasty, the newly appointed consul Cui Mingji was actively in contact with the Ming Dynasty, and Li Tianyang, the Hongmen who had helped a lot of North Korea and was strong, naturally became the target of the Korean kingdom.
Although Phi Dao was once the territory of the Korean Kingdom, but after it was occupied by the Ming Dynasty army, the Qing people naturally paid much less attention to the Korean Kingdom, which was equivalent to the Ming army on Phi Dao sharing the pressure of the Korean Kingdom from the Qing Dynasty and making it more free.
Of course, on the other hand, as the Korean kingdom that had just submitted to the Qing Dynasty, they could not stand by in the face of the official orders given by the Qing Kingdom to assist in attacking Phi Dao.
However, at this moment, the Ming army occupying Phi Island is no one else, but a famous Hongtang naval division around the Daming sea area, with dozens of miles of straits apart, and the Qing Dynasty and the Korean Kingdom itself do not have an excellent naval division, what can they do to attack the Ming army of Phi Dao surrounded by dozens of fully armed naval divisions!
Several offensives organized by the Qing people were easily destroyed by Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming, and not even a single Qing army attacked the coastline that could land on Phi Island.
On the other hand, the Hongtang Naval Division's army, just these dozens of warships gradually approached the coastline of the Liaodong Peninsula, even if they did not land to fight, just with the artillery salvo attached to the Hongtang Naval Division, they could deal a heavy blow to the fortifications built by the Qing Dynasty along the coast.
And from time to time, the Hongtang Naval Division suddenly made a surprise attack, and sent an army of hundreds of people that was not big or small, landing to play a wave of sweeping, and wiped out the small and medium-sized Jurchen tribes along the coast, forcing a large area of land centered on Phi Island, which was gradually abandoned by the Jurchens.
Except for the garrison Jurchen army and Han army, there is basically no trace of Jurchen tribes along the coast.
"Brother Shang, there's a letter from home?"
Kong Youde walked into Shang Kexi's residence, and sat down on a circle chair in the hall, looking around without the slightest image.
The official residence of the original commander Mao Wenlong here, with the Chongzhen ten years after the Jurchens broke through the Phi Island, it gradually declined, and then it was not until Shang Kexi and their arrival that it was reorganized as the official residence where the deputy commander of Dongjiang Town was located.
"Yes, you all take a look, this is information sent from your hometown, you can give a little advice at night after reading it!"
Shang Kexi nodded, handed the note he had just put down to Geng Zhongming, who was more calm, and let him check it first, and then circulate it to Kong Youde.
"My lord, if this information is true, it is also a good opportunity for us!"
After Geng Zhongming read the note, he handed it to Kong Youde, who was not sitting, and then said his thoughts with a calm face.
"I also think so, this time we went on an expedition to Liaodong, except for some achievements in attacking Phi Dao at the beginning, but in the next few years, there has been no major action, I'm really sorry for the power we have now."
Shang Kexi nodded in agreement with Geng Zhongming's thoughts, and at the same time turned his gaze to Xiang Shenggao, the general of the Hongtang army on the side: "General Xiang, what do you think?" ”
Xiang Shenggao also happened to finish reading the information sent from Dayuan Island at this time, and after meditating for a while, he raised his head and replied, "I also second!" ”
"What the hell are you talking about, fuck me, I'm tired of staying on this island for a long time, it's time to go out and do a good job!"
Kong Youde, who is the most upright and scheming on the surface, saw that the three of them were in agreement, and they didn't like to use their brains in the first place, basically their partner Geng Zhongming took the idea and waited for him to hold back, so he jumped up on the spot and shouted excitedly.
“…………”
Xiang Shenggao was vaguely uncomfortable, but he recovered quickly, but he had already dealt with Kong Youde, and he didn't show much of Kong Youde's attitude.
"Then please reply to the general, I hope to give more intelligence support!"
Since he decided to do something big, Shang Kexi, as the main general, naturally needs to be responsible for the soldiers under his command, and immediately asked Xiang Shenggao, who was in charge of contacting the Hongmen guards.
"General, don't worry, even if you don't say it, I'll do it!"
Xiang Shenggao nodded in response.
Subsequently, the 20,000 soldiers on Phi Island began to get busy, and many of the huge contingent were drawn out individually, and under the command of the lower-level officers, they were armed with the equipment on their bodies, equipped with their bags and food belts, and looked like they were traveling far away.
However, for such a transfer in the army, since the landing on Phi Island, the Hongtang army has been accustomed to these soldiers, from time to time a team will be sent out to patrol the coastline, landing in Liaodong to plunder and harass the Jurchen tribes, there will be such a transfer, but what everyone doesn't know is that this time the Hongtang army mobilized a lot more than usual, with a scale of 5,000 people.
