Chapter 863: Arrival in Golden State
Golden State Kiba Station, seaside.
Compared to the majestic sea, Bohai Bay is relatively calm, with waves crashing on the beach, and a series of pearl-like islands in the distance.
A few years ago, there were still many military civilians stationed on a string of islands off the Liaodong Peninsula, and the famous General Dong was at that time.
Once upon a time, tens of thousands of ragged generals and soldiers of the East under the command of Marshal Mao took the island as their foundation to contend with the fierce Houjin soldiers. However, with the killing of Mao Dashuai, the Dongjiang soldiers became less and less valued by the imperial court.
With the death of Huang Long and other generals, most of the Eastern generals, led by Kong Youde, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and other generals, went ashore and surrendered their sworn enemies, the Manchus. The family members also abandoned the island, and the Manchus had a natural fear of the sea and did not allow uncontrollable forces to remain on the island. As a result, many islands were deserted.
The islanders went ashore, the soldiers of the Dongjiang Army were incorporated into the Han army flag, and the ordinary people became Manchu clothed slaves, farming, fishing, and creating wealth for the Manchus.
Two years ago, the regent Dolgon went out with an army of 100,000 and occupied the city of Beijing. Most of the Eight Banners Army and the families of the Manchurians outside the Guanai were moved to the Guannei to enjoy the glory and wealth.
Southern Liaoning moved to the hills and hills, and there were not many Eight Banner troops, and now there are not many. At most, there are more than 100 families in the entire Golden State, all of whom are family members of the Qing army who stayed in Golden State. After all, to the south of Jinzhou is Shandong, and it is necessary to strictly prevent the Ming army from attacking Liaodong across the sea. So the Manchus left a small part of their army in southern Liaoning.
The Qing army in Jinzhou now has only more than 100 people, except for the leader Niu Lu is really full of eight banners, the rest of the banners are Han army banners, and all the remaining people are Niu Lu's coats.
Luo Damu used to be a member of the Dongjiang Army, after Kong Youde surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was eliminated from the army because of his age, and the whole family became a clothed serf, he and his son farmed for the Niulu master, and his wife and daughter-in-law worked as servants in the courtyard of the Niulu master.
The fields in southern Liaoning are relatively barren, and most of the grain planted has to be handed over to Master Niu Lu, but fortunately, Jinzhou is close to the sea, and you can catch some fish and pick up some shells, fish and shrimp in your spare time, and you can always fill your stomach, and your life can go on.
Although it is said that his parents and brothers died in the hands of Manjiao, Luo Damu has long lost the mind of revenge, it is not easy for himself and his family to survive, and revenge is too luxurious for ordinary people.
At the beginning of March, the weather in eastern Liaoning was still cold, and the ground was still freezing, and it would take another half a month to carry out spring ploughing.
Although there is still some food in the family, his wife can earn some silver at the time of the old man's house in Niulu, but Luo Damu does not want to be idle. After breakfast, when the sun came out and the weather was warmer, he took his tools to the dock by the sea, thinking about repairing the wooden boat, and in two days he called his youngest son to go out to sea to catch a few nets of fish to subsidize the family.
Located in the middle of the Jinshu Nakazuosho and the Jinshu Guard, Kiba Station was originally a post station with a small pier by the sea. In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji ordered all the people from the sea to be withdrawn inland, and the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute at the top of the peninsula was abandoned, leaving only a team of soldiers in the Kiba Post to monitor the sea.
The wooden boat was very small and broken, had no mast sails, and could not go out to sea, so it could only be rowed with oars. But it's also a boat, and Luo Damu relies on it to catch fish. Before the winter froze, Luo Damu dragged the fishing boat to the shore, and saw that the ice in the sea had melted, and after repairing it, he could push it down to the sea to fish.
When Luo Damu was busy tinkering, he didn't see a slip of sail shadow suddenly appear on the sea in the distance, and he was heading towards this side in the wind and waves.
When Luo Damu nailed the last nail, he stretched his waist and inadvertently looked into the sea, shocked by the galleon that suddenly appeared in front of him, compared to this kind of tall sailboat, the fishing boat he was mending was not even as good as a bathtub.
The nearest sailing ship was already less than half a mile from the coast, and the following fleet could not be seen in the distant sea.
Luo Damu blinked, suspecting that he was dreaming. Because he had never seen so many galleons in his life, even when he was in the Dongjiang Army, he saw only some sea ships that were not much bigger than fishing boats, and that was the warship that the Dongjiang Army used to cross the sea.
But soon he reacted, it was the Ming army coming! In the sea area of Liaodong, the Manchu Qing Dynasty did not have a naval army at all, and the only one who could have so many large ships was the Ming army.
However, doesn't it mean that the regent has already laid down most of the great masters? How could the Ming army have the ability to cross the sea to Liaodong?
Luo Damu was in a daze for a moment, then left the dock and ran to the Kiba Station, he was going to report the news of Master Niu Lu.
For the current Luo Damu, he has long been tied to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he does not have much sense of identity with the former Ming people.
Run, run, only running out of breath, in the end he is a little old, from the beach to Kiba Station is only a mile away, he can barely breathe.
"Daddy, Daddy, what's wrong with you?" As soon as he entered Kiba Station, he bumped into his youngest son head-on.
"The Ming army is coming, I'll report to Master Niu Lu, you go home and pack up and prepare to escape." Luo Damu yelled at his youngest son, and kept walking towards Master Niulu's house. The fleet of the Ming army was dozens or hundreds, at least loaded with tens of thousands of soldiers, and with the more than 100 Qing soldiers of Kiba Station, they could not resist at all.
The Ming army came, and the youngest son was stunned for a moment, where did the Ming army come from? But seeing that his father was running like a ghost, he knew that it was not a joke, so he immediately ran home.
"The Ming army is coming, the Ming army fleet is coming!" Luo Damu shouted and rushed into the mansion of Master Niu Lu.
Niu Lu was holding the teapot and teasing the starling in the birdcage comfortably, when he heard Luo Damu's shout, he was taken aback, and the teapot fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Master Niu Lu, the Ming army is coming, dozens of big ships, let's run." Luo Damu panted and reported.
"Bastard, what a run! Come on, bang the gong and raise the troops! Prepare me armor and weapons. Niu Lu was not afraid, and ran into the house quickly, took off the armor from the shelf, and put it on himself.
The sound of gongs and drums sounded, and the entire Kiba Station suddenly became agitated. The bannermen began to put on their armor and took up their weapons to gather in the open space of the field.
Seeing that Master Niu Lu was going to fight with the Ming army, Luo Damu was stunned, only he knew how many the Ming army was. Hurriedly pulling his wife, who was working as a servant in the house, left, hurriedly ran back to his house, and slapped his son who was running out with a steel knife.
"There are too many Ming troops, and if you go out, you will be sent to death. Let's quickly pack up and hide, and only then will we go to fight the Ming army. Luo Damu scolded at his son. (https:)
