In the second year of Chongzhen, the signs of natural disasters in the Xiaoice River at the end of the Ming Dynasty were already quite obvious, and this winter, the temperature became extremely cold, and even Fuguang and Guangzhou had heavy snowfall, and Liaodong was even colder as if the heavens and the earth were about to be frozen.

This is also the main reason why Huang Taiji dared to take most of the Eight Banners soldiers to attack the capital of Daming, such a cold day, the road is frozen hard, you have to be careful to fall when walking, you dare to run to attack the city, don't slide down and fall to death before you climb the city wall!

Even if someone is attacking the city, they are not afraid, just pour a bucket of hot water and pour it, and they can freeze people into popsicles in an instant.

It was at this time that Cao Wenzhao and Cao Bianjiao came to Phi Island with more than 900 elites of the special combat battalion.

However, when Cao Wenzhao and the others arrived on Phi Dao, it was mid-December.

The temperature of Phi Island is not bad, because it is not so cold because it is surrounded by the sea, after all, the sea water in this location has not frozen, and the water temperature can also neutralize the air temperature, so that the temperature is not ridiculously low.

At this time, Phi Dao is not the desolate appearance when Zhang Bin came, at the entrance of the big bay in the south of Phi Dao, a two-story fortress has been built according to the mountain-shaped landform, and a small city that can accommodate 30,000 or 40,000 people has also been built next to the harbor in the bay, and the barracks everywhere are brick and stone structures, which are both solid and beautiful, and the original stone houses are simply different from the abyss.

When Yu Chenglong and Zheng Ming led hundreds of Cangshan ships into the harbor, more than 200 steamers had been waiting there for many days, and Mao Wenlong was already in a hurry.

He was not in a hurry to make contributions, the weather in Liaodong was getting colder and colder, and it was so cold that people couldn't go out, and it was becoming more and more difficult to relocate civilians in Liaodong.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Chenglong and Cao Wenzhao arrived, Mao Wenlong couldn't wait to convene a meeting of relevant generals to discuss the specific plan for relocating civilians.

Coincidentally, Mao Wenlong also chose the meeting place in the canteen of the fortress, the small room of the main canteen is kept warm, and the whole room is warm under the round table, and the whole room is warm, basically not feeling cold, and even Mao Wenlong is working here these days, and the generals of the Dongjiang Army on duty were also called by him.

This side is different from the capital, there are not so many high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and the generals gathered here are not as wonderful as the generals under Zhang Bin at this time, and everyone is a serious general.

On the side of the Dongjiang Army, there were three generals present, namely Deputy General Chen Jisheng, General Xu Fuzuo, and Guerrilla General Liu Guangzuo.

Zhang Bin sent more people, including staff generals Cao Wenzhao and Yu Chenglong, guerrilla generals Cao Bianjiao and Daniel Zhang, as well as Zheng Xing, commander of the left guard of Dongfan, and Zheng Ming, commander of the right guard of the middle and right guard of Dongfan.

plus Mao Wenlong, exactly ten people, everyone sat around the round table, and discussed the map of Liaodong on the table.

Mao Wenlong first said with a solemn face: "Let me tell you a very bad news, Liaodong is quite cold at this time, and the scouts I sent can only turn around near the coast, and then go inside, not only people can't stand it, but even horses can't stand it." ”

The generals who were here before had already known about this situation, and only the generals who arrived later, such as Yu Chenglong and Cao Wenzhao, knew nothing about it.

After all, Cao Wenzhao was a general who went out of Liaodong, and he was quite familiar with Liaodong, so he couldn't help but be surprised: "It's not so exaggerated, the horse can't stand it, that person can't freeze to death!" ”

Mao Wenlong nodded and said: "Yes, I estimate that the people in the inland of Liaodong don't dare to go out now, and it is almost impossible for us to move them out." ”

When Yu Chenglong heard this, he couldn't help but look ugly and said, "Doesn't that mean that we can't complete the task assigned by the governor?" ”

Mao Wenlong shook his head and said: "That's not it, we can relocate civilians from the coast, if we can relocate all the civilians along the coast, there are almost more than 100,000 people, which should barely meet the requirements of Lord Zhang." ”

Yu Chenglong nodded and said: "If there are more than 100,000 people, it's barely okay, but it's a pity that it's such a good time." ”

Mao Wenlong sighed: "The problem is not only this, although the coast is not so cold, but the ice is also more serious, people are easy to fall on the road, it is almost impossible to attack the city, as long as they pour some water on the city wall, the ladder is not stable, even if people climb up, they will fall." ”

At this time, Cao Bianjiao said curiously: "Isn't our task to relocate civilians, why do we want to attack the city?" ”

Mao Wenlong explained: "We are not secretly relocating this time, but we are clearly going to rob it, which will definitely alarm all the cities and castle slaves, if they run out to stop it, we may not have much of a big deal, and the civilians will be in danger." ”

Cao Bianjiao was puzzled: "Isn't it the same when we stay outside?" Coming out and slaughtering one by one is much easier than attacking a city. ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, his eyes were about to bulge out, he had always wanted to take down the city and the castle, and then blatantly relocate the civilians, and he never thought of setting up an ambush outside the city to prevent people from coming out.

This is a good way, he slapped his hand and said: "Yes, set up an ambush outside the city, and if you dare to come out, you will all be slaughtered by him, so that they can't go around to stop the migration of civilians, good idea, good idea, just do it." ”

This question has always been the most troublesome problem for him, and now that he was reminded by Cao Bianjiao, he suddenly felt that since there was no big problem, then let's start acting.

He pointed to the map and introduced: "Ladies and gentlemen, the governor is fighting bloodily with Jiannu in the capital, and we in Liaodong cannot be idle, we must act immediately." In light of the situation obtained by the detectives, I decided to launch simultaneous operations in Zhenjiang, Jinzhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Gaizhouwei to rescue and relocate more than 100,000 local civilians. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked down at the map, Zhenjiang, Jinzhouwei, Fuzhouwei, and Gaizhouwei almost included the entire coastal area of eastern Liaodong, such a large area is equivalent to the area of more than ten prefectures and counties in Fujian, and there are only more than 100,000 civilians!

Yu Chenglong asked a little incredulously: "General Mao, what do you mean, there are only more than 100,000 civilians in such a big place?" ”

When Mao Wenlong heard this, he sighed and said: "Yes, these places were originally relatively wealthy areas in Liaodong, with a population of no less than one million, but as soon as this Jiannu came, those who fled fled and died, and the population decreased by nearly half in the first year of the Apocalypse. ”

Ten rooms and nine emptiness, this is the truest portrayal of the entire Liaodong civilians, everyone heard this, and couldn't help sighing.

Mao Wenlong shook his head and sighed, then his face turned straight, and he said loudly: "The generals listen to the order." ”

When the generals present heard this, they hurriedly raised their heads and sat up straight.

Mao Wenlong then ordered: "Chen Jisheng, order you to lead two thousand Dongjiang troops and two elite teams of Dongfan special operations battalions to move all civilians out of Zhenjiang. ”

Chen Jisheng got the order, immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered: "Xu Fuzhuan, order you to lead two thousand Dongjiang troops and two elite teams of Dongfan special operations battalions to move all the civilians of Jinzhou Wei out." ”

Xu Fu played the order, immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered: "Liu Guangzuo, order you to lead two thousand Dongjiang troops and two elite teams of Dongfan special operations battalions to move all the civilians of Fuzhou Wei out." ”

Liu Guangzuo got the order, and immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered: "Cao Wenzhao, order you to lead two thousand Dongjiang troops and two elite teams of Dongfan special operations battalions to move all the civilians of Gaizhouwei out. ”

Cao Wen received the order, and immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered: "Cao Bianjiao, order you to lead two thousand Dongjiang troops and two elite teams of Dongfan special operations battalions to fortify the official road north of Gaizhouwei, and ambush the Jiannu who came to support Haizhou and Liaoyang. ”

Cao Bianjiao got the order, immediately stood up and arched his hand: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand, motioned for him to sit down, and then ordered: "Yu Chenglong, Zheng Xing, Zheng Ming, order you to command all the wheels and Cangshan ships to transport people and civilians from all walks of life. ”

Yu Chenglong, Zheng Xing, and Zheng Mingde immediately stood up and said in unison: "The last general will obey the order." ”

Mao Wenlong waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down, and then pointed to the map and began to arrange a specific battle plan.

Early the next morning, at midnight, the pier of Phi Dao was very lively, 10,000 Dongjiang troops and more than 900 elites of the Dongfan special operations battalion were waiting for the wheels and Cangshan ships moored in the port one after another, Mao Wenlong and a group of generals stood upright on the fort in the port, watching everything below.

About half an hour later, more than 400 wheels and Cangshan boats were basically fully loaded, and almost all the soldiers on the dock were on board, Mao Wenlong turned around and solemnly waved to Chen Jisheng, Cao Wenzhao and other generals: "Go, go and save the people of Liaodong." ”

The generals replied with a bang: "The last general will obey." ”
