Section 1 A Thousand Sails Across the Sea (1)
At the beginning of April of the third year of Chongzhen (the third year of Tiancong of the Manchu Dynasty), the general military office of Tongzhou City.
In the evening, Liu Yunwei and Sun Yuanhua worked together in the general division of Zhangjiawan Village for a whole day, and returned to the General Military Mansion exhausted, and before they had time to rest for a while, they saw Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng walking over quickly, and their faces were a little worried, as if something bad had happened.
Seeing this, Liu Yunwei smiled and said, "What? Is there something wrong with the two generals with such expressions? ”
Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng glanced at each other, then stepped forward and said, "Inspector Qiqi, I really have something to report when I come here. ”
"What?"
Li Dingguo glanced at Li Laiheng, saw Li Laiheng nodded slightly at him, and said: "Supervisor, the two of us were ordered to go to Tianjin Wei three days ago to check the situation of the assembly of sea ships, and when the two of us arrived at Tianjin Wei, we found that the number of sea ships anchored in the port was far from enough. After careful inspection by Beizhi and General Li, it was found that all the sea ships under the Jiliao Governor's Mansion had been assembled, with a total of more than 420 sea ships, all of which were moored in the harbor; However, the sea ships under Fujian General Zheng Zhilong had not yet arrived, and Zheng Zhilong did not send anyone to explain the situation. ”
Hearing this, Liu Yunwei couldn't help frowning, and a bad premonition rose in his heart. At this time, there were only less than two days left before the assembly deadline set by himself, and if a large number of sea ships under Zheng Zhilong could not arrive at Tianjin Wei Port in time to assemble, the sea ships under the Jiliao Governor's Mansion alone would not be able to transport the 350,000 troops to southern Liaoning at one time. If it was only transported by the sea ships belonging to the Jiliao Governor's Mansion, the fleet would have to transport all the troops back and forth at least three or four times, and the time required for the Qing army to perceive the situation and send enough troops to rush to southern Liaoning to set up defenses.
"In this way, I am afraid that the plan I made for a sea attack will fail!"
Liu Yunwei pondered for a while, and then said: "In this way, the two generals will work hard again, go to Tianjin Wei again, and organize all the existing sea ships into an army in the shortest possible time." If Zheng Zhilong's ships still do not arrive two days later, he will notify the governor as soon as possible, and the governor will only pay attention. In addition, tell the four generals Tian Jianxiu, Ai Nengqi, Liu Wenxiu, and Li Yan to immediately mobilize all the officers and men of the army, and set off tomorrow to garrison outside the Tianjin Acropolis. ”
Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng clasped their fists when they heard this, and said in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" With that, the two of them turned around and walked out together.
After Li Dingguo and Li Laiheng left, Liu Yunwei called Guo Yi over and said: "You immediately lead the Long Xiang Iron Cavalry to set off to Shandong, forcibly recruit sea ships and sailors in Dengzhou City and other coastal cities, and then immediately escort them to the port of Tianjin Wei for assembly. ”
"Yes!" After Guo Yi answered, he asked, "Supervisor, is something wrong?" Is there not enough sea ships to transport large armies? ”
"The sea ships that Zheng Zhilong promised to support have not arrived at Tianjin Wei to assemble so far, and now that the time for the army to go out is approaching, the governor can't wait like this any longer, and must make some preparations in advance."
When Guo Yi heard this, he also knew that the matter was urgent, so he gave a salute and turned around to go to gather troops and horses.
At this moment, Zheng Zhibao hurriedly ran in, and as soon as he came in, he said loudly: "Supervisor! My brother sent someone to deliver an urgent letter! ”
Liu Yunwei took the letter handed over by Zheng Zhibao when he heard this, and Guo Yi also stopped and stood aside waiting for further news.
Liu Yunwei opened the letter and read it, only to see that the letter read:
"Brother Sincerely:
Since the younger brother led the army to defeat the Xiyi fleet in Liuluo Bay, he received an urgent letter from the righteous brother ordering the collection of sea ships, and the younger brother did not dare to have the slightest delay, so he immediately gathered more than 500 large sea ships and corresponding sailors, and prepared to go north to Tianjin Wei and the fleet under the command of the righteous brother to converge, and jointly transport our Han family tiger ben north to southern Liaoning, resist the Tartar captivity, and recover the lost territory.
However, there were unforeseen circumstances, and not long after the younger brother sent his second brother Zheng Zhihu to lead the fleet north, he received the news that the fleet encountered storms and waves on the ocean, and the fleet had to temporarily dock in the sea off Suzhou to avoid the wind and waves after losing more than 60 ships, and could not continue to go north to Tianjinwei.
After receiving the news, the younger brother was also very anxious, and hurriedly sent someone to report the matter to the righteous brother, and at the same time once again collected 200 sea ships to go north to Suzhou Mansion to join the main fleet, and also sent a death order to the second brother Zheng Zhihu, ordering him to go north immediately after converging the support fleet, and to rush to Tianjin Wei in the shortest possible time, and must not delay the date of the army's expedition!
At present, due to the strong sea breeze and the inconvenience of communication, the second brother Zheng Zhihu led his troops to where he arrived, and whether the two fleets have converged, the younger brother cannot know......
After reading the letter, Liu Yunwei couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, and said: "Zheng Zhilong's fleet encountered a storm at sea, and the trip was delayed because of this!" It's really eyeless! ”
On the side, Guo Yi and Zheng Zhibao's faces also changed greatly when they heard this, especially Zheng Zhibao, Zheng Zhibao, who had been floating on the sea since he was a child, of course knew what it meant to encounter a storm at sea, and exclaimed: "Now is not the season when storms are common, how can this be so!" ”
Liu Yunwei shook his head slightly, and said with some sadness: "Perhaps, this is called the heavens are not beautiful, now the weather in Daming is abnormal, natural disasters are continuous, and now even the sea is like this, is this the will of heaven?" ”
After speaking, Liu Yunwei looked at the payment of the letter, and saw that the time on the letter was 15 days ago, although he was very depressed after learning the news, he still held a glimmer of hope, hoping that there would be any miracle.
At this time, Guo Yi thought for a while, then stepped forward and said: "Supervisor, now that the time comes, the last general should immediately set off to Shandong to collect sea ships." ”
Liu Yunwei thought for a while, and then said: "Okay, you can gather troops and horses and set off now, plus the round-trip journey, the governor will only give you ten days, and you can collect as many ships as you can." Now, we can only do our best to obey the destiny of heaven! ”
Zheng Zhilong also clenched his fists and said: "Supervisor, let's go with General Guo, I am still very familiar with the last general of the sea ship, and I may be able to help General Guo." ”
"It's good! You two go now, you must hurry! ”
At night, Liu Yunwei tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, so he got up and put on a coat and went to the yard to wander. After strolling for a while, Liu Yunwei looked at the stars in the night sky, saw the stars twinkling and the night wind hitting people, and said secretly in his heart: "I am not in the mood to enjoy such a beautiful scenery, I hope that after this battle, I will have the opportunity to enjoy this beautiful scenery without worry." ”
In this way, Liu Yunwei actually sat in the gazebo in the courtyard for one night!
Early the next morning, Liu Yunwei hurried to the outside of Tongzhou. At this time, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Wenxiu, Li Yan, and Ai Nengqi had already assembled an army of 350,000 and lined up in the wilderness outside the east gate of Tongzhou City.
After Liu Yunwei arrived, Tian Jianxiu, Liu Wenxiu, Li Yan, and Ai Nengqi led a group of thousands of soldiers to salute.
Liu Yunwei turned over and dismounted, laughed and said, "The generals have worked hard! ”
Everyone saluted one after another, and Tian Jianxiu stepped forward and said: "There is a labor inspector who came to see him off, and I am very scared!" ”
Liu Yunwei patted Tian Jianxiu's shoulder, and then said to everyone: "The generals rushed to Tianjin Wei to prepare for the expedition, this is for the country, but also for the people of the world to ask for their lives, why didn't the governor come to see him off?" Not only will the Governor come to see him off today, but when the generals lead their troops to the sea, the Governor will also drink three bowls of spirits with the generals on the dock, and when the 600,000 Qing troops are defeated, we will wait for the day of triumph at the same time, and we will drink for another three days and three nights, and we will not return if we are not drunk! ”
Tian Jianxiu, Liu Wenxiu, Li Yan, and Ai Nengqi all felt their blood boiling when they heard this, and they only felt that they had inexhaustible strength in their bodies, and they all hugged their fists and said: "The last general must move forward bravely and never disappoint the expectations of the superintendent 1"
Liu Yunwei laughed and said, "Of course this governor believes!" Generals, please take the first step, the Japanese governor of the army to the sea will come to see off, when the Japanese army is rampant in Liaodong, we will lead the Han family tiger to gather under the city of Shenyang! ”
Looking at the scene of Tian Jianxiu, Liu Wenxiu, Li Yan, and Ai Nengqi leading 350,000 soldiers to the east, Liu Yunwei also felt that the blood in his body was about to boil, and he took a deep breath, and the cool air in the early morning suddenly penetrated Liu Yunwei's chest.
At this time, Liu Yunwei only felt that he had inexhaustible strength, and said to the dozens of guards behind him: "Go!" Let's go to Zhangjiawan and see how the magic weapon that Lord Sun created for the soldiers of the army is doing! ”
The rolling iron rider turned south and galloped towards Zhangjiawan Village.
Four days later, Liu Yunwei, who had never seen Zheng Zhilong's fleet arrive, was a little breathless. During this period, Yuan Mingxuan and Lu Ying sent two urgent letters one after another, in which they both urged Liu Yunwei to send troops as soon as possible, so that the 350,000 troops could cross the sea and land in southern Liaoning, and at the same time asked Liu Yunwei to rush to the front line of the Liaohe River as soon as possible to command the army.
Liu Yunwei held these two letters in his hands, and the letters were extremely anxious, and said secretly: "Zheng Zhilong, Zheng Zhilong!" Everything is ready, just the east wind, God will open his eyes once! ”
Suddenly, Feng Tian, the garrison of the first battalion of the pacesetter battalion, quickly rushed into the lobby of the General Military Mansion and said loudly to Liu Yunwei: "Supervisor! There's news! ”
