Chapter 727: Ai Fei, you have to work hard!
On the Liaohai Sea, just when Emperor Lu was overturning the clouds and raining, a fleet of ships of good scale had already rushed towards Chenzhou. That is the Gai County of later generations. It is also close to Yaozhou [Yingkou City].
After dawn, the fleet slowly approached Chenzhou. Soon, they were spotted by the people on the shore.
The goal of the fleet is a small town near the sea, as there is a small pier here. Although it's not big, no matter how small the pier is, it's still a pier, isn't it?
Li Jun stood on the boat and looked through a clairvoyant mirror, and it seemed to take a while for the idiots on the shore to realize the strangeness of this fleet. When the nearest 500 small boats were already very close to the dock, and it was estimated that even the flags on the boats could be clearly seen by the people on the shore, he saw two inconspicuous small fishing boats rowing towards the dock like crazy. At the same time, the people on the dock were in a mess. A few men ran madly towards the town, while others walked up to the dock with spears and bows and arrows to peer out into the sea.
"What a fool!" Li Jun put down the clairvoyant mirror, feeling that he couldn't understand. With such a large fleet, do the people under these women and barbarians think they are their own people?
And the mirage who was in the front of the boat was also pointing to the shore and laughing at this time. What did he see? There were one or two hundred young men in that town, led by a few armored men on horseback, who dragged their guns and sticks one by one and ran to the docks, and their brains were not pitted.
Tong Meng remembers his mission very clearly, which is to loot, to create chaos and fear like a pirate.
The town in front of them had everything they needed, fresh vegetables and meat, grain and livestock. And enough people.
The small dock in front of him is only five hundred of this kind of small boat in Li Jun's eyes, which can be relied on.
After the first batch of more than 100 people went ashore, they immediately formed an arc-shaped defensive circle on the pier, covered by shields outside, and pointed diagonally outside with their bows, staring fiercely at the golden men who were about to move in the distance.
These people were not Jurchens, but more Bohai people and Liaodong Han'er. Among them, the Bohai people are the mainstay. But they are all golden people now.
And you must know that the Bohai people enjoy a very special political and social status in the ethnic relations of the Jurchen Jin State, it can be said that they are the Mongols of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and their status is second only to the Jurchens. One of the important reasons for this is that the Bohai Sea is of the same origin as the Jurchens, and it is said that they are also descendants of the Jurchen Ta, which originates from the Sumo Tatar, and the Jurchen comes from the Heishui Tatar.
Because of the scarcity of Jurchen Ding Zhuang itself, Aguta attaches great importance to this homologous relationship between the two ethnic groups, and regards it as a natural opportunity for the Huairou Bohai people. From the beginning of the army, he declared that "Nuzhi and Bohai are the same family", so as to call on the Bohai people to join the Jurchen Anti-Liao League.
And the Bohai State was destroyed by the Khitan, the Khitan naturally did not use the Bohai Sea, so the Bohai Sea hated the Khitan deeply, the Jurchen soldiers prospered, and the Bohai people surrendered one after another, as the army surrendered first, so the Jurchens mostly used the Bohai Sea as an important position.
After the Jurchens completely took Liaodong, the women of the Liaodong clan were selected to go to Beijing, and the main marriages with the Jurchen royal family were the three Bohai right surnames of Liaoyang Gao, Li, and Zhang.
Judging from the official history, the Bohai people intermarried with the Jurchen clan for many generations, so that three of the nine emperors of the Jin Dynasty were born to the Bohai people.
However, at the beginning of the founding of the Jurchen state, because of the large number of talents in their clan and the extremely prosperous martial arts, the Bohai people had not yet been able to enter the upper echelons of the Jurchen ruling group, such as the Gaoqing descendants who were attached to the sticky drink, which was already a representative of the Bohai people with a fairly high political status. But he was only doing things in the sticky drinking army, and later sent an envoy to Yidu from Wanyan Xiyin, and then persuaded Yelu Ma Wu from Wanyan Pujianu to Yuguan, nominally as a deputy envoy, but in fact he had no right to speak at all.
Otherwise, when Wanyan Xiyin returned to the Jurchens, he would not have left Gao Qingyi in Yidu to collect intelligence.
Nowadays, the Bohai people, who have not yet seen tangible benefits, are naturally more inclined to the former among the Jurchens and Han Chinese. But this could not make them sacrifice their lives for the Jurchens.
The fleet floating in front of them was obviously much stronger than them. And the 'Qi' flag played by the fleet made them understand why the other party should be sacred.
The people on the shore just watched from afar, they didn't have enough courage to rush forward and fight, it wasn't the fear of the Jurchens that restrained them, and these people might have fled.
And the few armored men in front of and behind the team did not dare to attack without authorization, they knew very well how vulnerable the power in their hands was compared to the fleet at sea. The flotilla moored on the surface of the sea brought a strong sense of oppression to them, so that they did not dare to act rashly.
And as more and more soldiers landed on the shore, these Bohai people and Liaodong Han'er did not dare to make some moves. At best, they had a sword and a bow and a dry spear, and even the most basic protection was rarely seen. How can you fight with the Qi army wearing cotton armor and having a complete range of swords, shields, bows and crossbows in their hands? Judging by the scene, they were right not to take the initiative to attack.
But they still didn't dare to run away.
So naturally, when the vanguard of a battalion all came ashore and wrapped up in the opposite direction. These Bohai people and Liaodong Han'er are still motionless. They neither fled nor attacked, but watched the Qi army move so stupidly, as if they were waiting to be "captured".
The lackluster "battle" soon ended. Most of the more than 200 Bohai people and Liaodong Han'er who stood in front were captured, and a few turned around and ran, just like those armored men who fled at the last moment. The whole battle went with great ease and without bloodshed.
But it means a signal is sent. The attack of the Qi army's naval division on the Liaohai region has begun!
Chenzhou is not a very important city, in the eyes of Liaoyang's Jurchen magnates, Chenzhou is just one of the many satellite cities around Liaoyang. They don't know the meaning of 'satellite city' yet, but that doesn't stop them from seeing Chenzhou in this way.
Its importance is far less than that of Liaodong's "Suzhou", which had been named Jinzhou by Emperor Lu. But even so, the sudden fall of a city will also give a great shock to the surrounding cities of Liaohai, and even to Liaoyang Mansion.
It can be said that when these places heard that the Qi army dragged cannons to blast open the gate of Chenzhou, and then defeated hundreds of soldiers and horses in the city, and then swept away all the Jurchen forces in the entire Chenzhou, they were afraid in their hearts.
If the Qi army can break Chenzhou, it will naturally be able to break other places. It can even directly harass the outlying towns of Jinzhou and Liaoyang. And these Han sailors were floating on the sea, and they only had a foothold in "Suzhou", the southernmost tip of the peninsula. However, the fleet sent out roamed all over the Liaohai Sea, disturbing the entire coastline in a state of unrest.
Chenzhou was broken, and soon Yaozhou was plundered, followed by Ningzhou, Fuzhou, and Zhenhai, Muzhou, and Baozhou on the east side of the Liaodong Peninsula, all of which were in an emergency.
The soldiers and horses on the Liaodong Peninsula were powerless to defend in the face of emergencies from all over the country. In general, after Li Jun led the sailors to break Chenzhou, in just a few days, the situation in the entire Liaodong changed.
One of the most striking features was that a large number of Jin troops rushed from Liaoyang towards the area where the Liao River estuary. At the same time, the Jurchen soldiers and horses in the Jinxi Corridor also began to shrink further.
The Jurchens were short of troops, and the decline of Ah Guta was instantly revealed.
There is no easier way to prove the strength of a side than to give it a war.
What Emperor Lu had a more direct understanding of the results of Li Jun's naval division was that a few days later, Li Jun sent a sea ship to return the captives and horses to Dengzhou. Those grains, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock have been left in Lushun and Jinzhou, as well as the Bohai people and Liaodong Han'er who were captured in the war, and the horses transported back to Dengzhou are only a few hundred, and the Jurchen prisoners of war are less than 2,000, and there are many women and children among them.
But when the women and children of the Jurchens were captured, could they really be okay?
Emperor Lu glanced at the answer next to him, "Concubine Ai, you have to work hard!" "Without a son, when Emperor Lu divides the family property in the future, she will not be able to reap the slightest benefit from her greedy envy.
Emperor Lu is not patriarchal, but the background of the times determines all this. Therefore, for the women of this era, especially for the concubines of this era, the son is very important.
The rise of the Jurchens was interrupted, there was no fresh flesh and blood nourishment, and they were deeply injured, Lu Qian really didn't take them in his eyes anymore. Don't look at Aguta is still alive, but what can it do?
The Jurchens have gone all the way, but they have only picked up most of the belongings left by the Khitan people in the past two hundred years, and their own hematopoietic ability is a scum compared to the Khitan people's words, not to mention that Emperor Lu didn't give them time to breathe at all.
After that, the Jurchens will only get weaker and weaker. After Liaodong is lost, the Jurchens who retract back to their nest are afraid that even the ability to forge battle armor and sword soldiers on a large scale will be lost.
Fighting with the Qi army with his back against the Central Plains, Ah Guta was like Chang Kaishen at the beginning of the Anti-Japanese War. The elites on hand are getting smaller and smaller, and there is a serious shortage of heavy arms and weapons, but the treasury has no money.
Therefore, Emperor Lu did not regard the Jurchens as real opponents. Because Ah Guda did not have Chang Dashuai's good luck, during this time period, there was no wealthy Uncle Sam to support him. They lost too badly in the first battle of Yanjing, and they were going to lose all their books, how could they turn over?
That is to say, Emperor Lu's country has not been completely settled, and Emperor Tianzuo has not been able to lie down, and the main army has been fighting last year, and now it is still recuperating, so it can't be freed up to clean them up. Otherwise, Yang Zhi and Song Jiang attacked with all their might, but they couldn't beat Huanglong Mansion, and Liaoyang could still take it.
The local official newspaper of Dengzhou was pleased.
Earlier, they had the honor of publishing the news attached to the Goryeo King's dedication table on the same day as the "News", and now the sailors are seeking Liaodong to report the victory, and the "News" is such a giant as not taking this little matter seriously, but the Dengzhou official newspaper is happy to publicize it.
For a time, it was difficult to find a newspaper in Dengzhou City, and the circulation of the latter rose by two steps. It's too little to say that one step is too little.
Why?
Many of Li Jun's soldiers are Denglai's disciples.
