Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Sailor Goes North (2)
"Great Khan, according to the report of the secret agents on the Ming side, the main general who led the army this time will be Lu Xiangsheng, the newly activated general of Chongzhen, this person is a jinshi promoted by the Apocalypse, and there is no record of outflow at present, but this person can hold heavy troops on the front line at this age, it is estimated that there are still some means, if a few people are right, the outcome is difficult to say" Fan Wencheng had already looked at and sorted out the collected information before coming, and inquired in advance about the personal information of the enemy general, which was only the most basic professional quality.

Huang Taiji leaned on his sweat seat, and gently rolled and massaged his forehead with the wrench of his left hand. Since the last time the army was defeated in the south, he has not been idle, and finally reluctantly suppressed the internal contradictions of Dajin, but at this time, the Ming people on the sea came to make trouble for themselves again, fight, in addition to relying on Shang Kexi and a few people still have a little resistance, the naval battle is helpless to take the sailor at all, and there are fewer people to go, that is, to send people to the head, send a large army to go, the sailor must run to the sea, the cavalry can only watch people show off their might on the sea, closer, and be shelled, But it's not a matter of making trouble in your own territory, and now Huang Taiji finally realized Chongzhen's feelings at the beginning, such a tactic of fighting if you can't fight, and running away if you can't beat it, it's too disgusting.
"This Lu Xiangsheng, when he led the army in the capital to chase Ben Khan all the way to the outside of the pass, during this period Ben Khan also fought with him, that guy is a madman, every time he fights at the front of the battle to the death, his soldiers are also a group of madmen affected by it, regardless of the disadvantage or advantage, once it is bitten by it, then he will not let go, and the fight is even more endless, seeing him is more than meeting Yuan Chonghuan makes Ben Khan's head ache" Lu Xiangsheng's leading soldier fights to the death and does not retreat, and the combat method of exchanging life for life is a headache for any enemy encountered, Especially when there is a huge gap between the population of Dajin and the Ming people, the Ming people died 100,000 young people in battle, and they can pull another 100,000 people up at any time, but their Dajin can pull out 100,000 people several times, so they can't hold up their Dajin if they consume each other.
"How do you look at it, Shang Kexi is not an opponent, even if he repels the Ming Naval Division, it is estimated that the remaining warships are useless, our army is not good at naval warfare, this is no way" Could it be that the situation of Jiangdong soldiers wanton in the hinterland of my Dajin will be repeated again, Fan Wencheng felt that his head also hurt when he thought of this, he took the initiative to take refuge in Dajin, and endured thousands of infamy, in order to wash away this infamy, he tried his best to help Huang Taiji, and he was bent on Dajin going south to destroy Daming, as long as Dajin ruled the world, Who dares to make irresponsible remarks in front of him, Mao Wenlong, the Jiangdong sailor who gave him a headache, nailed Dajin in place like a nail, and did nothing for a few years, and finally got rid of him with the help of negotiation, but now he didn't expect a bigger nail to be set.
Huang Taiji's voice interrupted Fan Wencheng's thoughts, "Come on, send an order to the Yijiang guards, the ships are not allowed to go to sea, all the warships are pulled back to the port to avoid the battle, the bow and arrow battalion is stationed in the port, and the enemy ships are attacking and rocketing" Huang Taiji got up and ordered the waiting attendants beside him.
Phi Dao, as the stronghold of the Ming Naval Division, the port was repaired for the first time, with the continuous support of the follow-up material resources, the current Phi Island camp, arrow tower, trench, camp, all over the island, there are soldiers 24 hours a day during this period of uninterrupted patrol, the seaside port, countless large ships cloud sails cover the sky, after a period of rest, Phi Island has once again become an important military stronghold of the Ming Dynasty.
In the handsome tent of Lu Xiangsheng on Phi Island
"According to the latest news of Jinyiwei, most of the rebels who surrendered have been transferred to Shengjing, and most of the warships that fled from the rebels were left in the port of Yijiang, and now we have gained a foothold on Phi Dao, and it is almost impossible to take down Phi Dao with the water warfare ability of the Jurchens, Shang Kexi and others are far away in the imperial court when Shengjing occupies the time, and he can't do anything, but the warships that stayed in Yijiang after Shang Kexi's defection must be dealt with, even if they can't be recovered, they will be sunk, The Jurchens must not be allowed to have any ability to confront the imperial court at sea, even if they have the ability to sail, they can't do it" The one who spoke was Qin Hui, a scholar who had deceived Huang Taiji of a batch of money under the city gate, and during Lu Xiangsheng's transfer to Liaodong, he also took the initiative to keep up, and now he is here to be a military advisor to Lu Xiangsheng, his views coincide with Lu Xiangsheng, which Chongzhen has already explained in his secret decree to Lu Xiangsheng that he will destroy these warships at all costs, which is understood by people with a little strategic vision. Once the Jurchens have a water master, for Da Ming, that is the real trouble.
"This time the navy went north, the commander planned to go out in person, and he would let people install trebuchets on the deck of the warship and prepare fire and oil bombs, if he couldn't do anything, he would burn those ships, and the time of the expedition would be set for tomorrow morning, you can have any objections" The first time the sailors fought, although the opponent was a group of barbarians who couldn't water, Lu Xiangsheng did not despise the other party, and still made enough preparations, the arrogant army will be defeated, and he must not make such a mistake.
"In a water battle with the Jurchens, why do you need to go out in person, and ask your lord to sit in the big camp, and his subordinates are willing to lead the troops to fight" A partial general who played soy sauce stepped forward to ask for battle.
"The first battle of the sailor, the commander is really not at ease, the entire Ming sailor is here, in case something goes wrong, how do you ask me to explain to the emperor, this battle, not to seek merit, but to seek no fault, only to accumulate experience for the generals, in addition to leaving a partial general on the island to guard the camp, the rest of the generals are all on the ship" The ability is practiced, it doesn't matter if the sailor has no experience in combat, the Jurchens are even more inexperienced, no longer use the Jurchens to practice at this time, how to face other battles in the future.
