Section 2 Crossing the Sea with a Thousand Sails (2)

When Liu Yunwei heard Feng Tian's words, he immediately stood up excitedly, and hurriedly asked, "Is it Zheng Zhilong who has sent the news?" What he said! Where did his fleet go? ”

Feng Tian clenched his fists and said: "Inspector Qiqi, it's not Zheng Zhilong who has sent news, it's General Li Dingguo!" General Li sent someone to say that the fleet led by Zheng Zhihu had arrived at Tianjin Wei Port! ”

"Good!" Liu Yunwei couldn't help but roar when he heard this, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground, so he said, "Go!" Let's go to Tianjin Weigang now! ”

At this time, Feng Tian's face was a little ugly, and he said: "Supervisor, according to the news sent by General Li Dingguo, the fleet brought by Zheng Zhihu has experienced the baptism of the storm, and the number of ships brought to Tianjin Wei Port safely is only more than 400, and a small part is seriously damaged and needs to be repaired in the port, and the rest of the ships have sunk in the storm." As things stand, it is estimated that there will still be insufficient ships to transport large armies. ”

When Liu Yunwei heard this, his mood that had just gotten better instantly fell to the bottom, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "There is no time!" Let's go to Tianjin Weigang to see the specific situation first, no matter what, the army must also set off, one trip can not be transported twice, if it is not possible, let Li Dingguo and them lead the elite army to land on the beach first, and open up a channel for the follow-up soldiers and horses! This battle is imperative! ”

Two days later, Liu Yunwei led 200 soldiers of the Iron Cavalry of the Guards to Tianjin Weigang.

At this time, the originally spacious Tianjin Wei Port has become crowded, and hundreds of large ships are moored in the port one after another, occupying almost all the space in the port. On the wharf, you can see sailors, soldiers and strong men carrying goods everywhere, and the whole port is a busy scene.

Liu Yunwei walked in the port, and after going around for a while, he found Zheng Zhihu, Li Dingguo, and Li Laiheng who were discussing things next to a huge sea ship.

At this time, the three of them also saw Liu Yunwei coming over, so they stepped forward one after another to salute.

Liu Yunwei was not polite, waved his hand and asked directly, "What's wrong?" How many ships are there now to transport a large army across the sea? ”

The three of them looked at each other, and then Zheng Zhihu spoke first: "Inspector Qi, the last general led the fleet to meet at the order of his brother, and successively mobilized more than 700 sea ships, but on the way encountered storms and waves, more than 300 sea ships were either sunk or damaged and left along the way, and only 400 sea ships arrived at Tianjin Wei Port. ”

Li Dingguo also had an unkind face and continued: "Supervisor, judging from the current situation, our army has a total of 800 sea ships that can be used, and there is definitely no way to transport all 350,000 soldiers to southern Liaoning at the same time. If you include the troops, money, food, horses, and other materials that accompany the army, it will take two rounds to transport all the troops. ”

In the end, Li Laiheng sighed and said: "Supervisor, if this is the case, it is very likely that the Qing army will use the time of our army's two troop transports to react, and it is completely possible to use the maneuver speed of the Tartar iron cavalry to quickly send troops to support southern Liaoning, and it is even possible to launch a fierce attack on the first batch of soldiers of our army to land, completely blocking our army at the landing site and unable to move!" ”

Liu Yunwei frowned and thought for a while, then said, "We don't have time anymore, no matter what, the army must set off as soon as possible." On the way here, the governor received a message from Guo Yi that Long Xiang's iron cavalry had not collected enough ships on the Shandong side, so we can only rely on the fleet in front of us to transport troops. ”

Hearing this, Zheng Zhihu, Li Dingguo, and Li Laiheng all had solemn faces, and all three of them understood that Liu Yunwei must have made a big decision to make this decision, and such a decision for everyone and even the soldiers of the whole army, it means that from the moment they set foot on the land of southern Liaoning, they will face continuous vicious battles and endless onslaught of the Tartars!

"This governor has decided that General Li Dingguo, General Ai Nengqi, and General Liu Wenxiu will lead 200,000 soldiers to set off in advance and land directly in Fuzhou Wei in southern Liaoning, and the army will recover the Fuzhou Acropolis as soon as possible at any cost and establish a strong defense line for the second batch of soldiers!"

When Li Dingguo heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general has an order, and the last general will gather troops and horses today, and he will lead the army to set off by boat within three days!" ”

Liu Yunwei nodded, and then continued: "General Li Laiheng and General Tian Jianxiu led the second batch of 150,000 soldiers to set off later, and the second batch of troops must move quickly, and they must support the first batch of soldiers in time. ”

Hearing this, Li Laiheng said solemnly: "Please rest assured, the last general will set off as soon as possible and rush to Fuzhou Wei to meet General Li!" ”

After the two groups of soldiers converged, General Zheng Zhihu led his troops to stay behind and was responsible for transporting logistics supplies for the army. And the generals will use the landing site as a springboard to attack and advance north at any cost! ”

Hearing this, the three of them shouted in unison: "The last general will be ordered!" ”

From this day on, Liu Yunwei stayed in Tianjin Weigang, did not leave half a step, and was always busy with Li Dingguo, Li Laiheng, Zheng Zhihu and others, making final preparations for the army to go to sea.

During this period, Liu Yunwei took the time to say to Zheng Zhihu: "You have time to go to Tongzhou City to see your brother Zheng Zhibao, you haven't seen each other for a long time, right?" ”

Zheng Zhihu's expression also changed when he heard this, but he still held back and said, "Inspector, now that the military situation is urgent, the last general will not go." When the last general came, my brother had already spoken first, and after the last general finished transporting the army, he stayed under the command of the superintendent to listen to the announcement. When our Hanwei army defeats the Qing army and recovers the great rivers and mountains of Liaodong, our brothers will have time to drink and talk! ”

Liu Yunwei was moved when he heard this, looked at Zheng Zhihu's longing eyes and firm face, and said secretly: "I have such subordinates, Daming has such soldiers, my emperor will win this battle!" ”

Two days later, the first batch of 200,000 soldiers who crossed the sea and set out for the expedition were ready to go, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu stood on the dock with helmets and armor, and behind the three of them was a huge fleet composed of 800 sea ships, and all 200,000 soldiers had already boarded the sea ships.

At the same time, Zheng Zhihu led all tens of thousands of sailors to set off with the army, escorting the soldiers of the army throughout the process.

Liu Yunwei stood on the dock in military uniform, looking at the endless fleet and the sails that covered the sky, he couldn't help but feel excited, and said to Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu with the wine bowl in his hand: "The governor wishes the three generals to ride the wind and waves and win the first battle!" In the near future, the Governor will join the three generals under the city of Shenyang! ”

Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu were also excited, and they were all impassioned, and then they picked up the wine bowl, drank it all with Liu Yunwei, and then slammed the wine bowl on the ground.

Li Laiheng and Tian Jianxiu behind Liu Yunwei did the same, and said one after another: "The three generals are one step ahead, the two of us will come immediately, let's lead the army of soldiers to run rampant in Liaodong, let the Qing army Tartars know and know, my Chinese man's methods!" ”

After everyone said goodbye, Li Dingguo, Ai Nengqi, and Liu Wenxiu respectively boarded three sea ships, and the fleet also sailed out of the port in an orderly manner under the command of Zheng Zhihu, heading towards the open sea.

At this time, the whole sea breeze is slow, the blue sky is thousands of miles, and thousands of sails on the sea surface are exhausted, breaking the waves, what a spectacular scene!

Liu Yunwei looked at the spectacular scene in front of him, and secretly said in his heart: "I am willing to mention 100,000 tiger and wolf divisions, and the prancing horse and sword will return to Liaodong!" The battle of my emperor's shame and revenge has kicked off from today! From today on, my Han family son-in-law will have a comprehensive counterattack, to make the Tartars have their hearts and galls, and to let the Emperor Taiji and the Manchu Tartars know: Those who commit Han crimes will be destroyed forever! ”

After Li Dingguo and others led the first batch of soldiers to set off, Liu Yunwei instructed Li Laiheng and Tian Jianxiu, and hurried back to Tongzhou City. At this time, Guo Yi had already received Liu Yunwei's order to return immediately, and led Long Xiang's iron cavalry from Shandong to the large camp of the Hanwei Army's pacesetter battalion outside Tongzhou.

After Liu Yunwei arrived at the camp, he did not enter the city to rest, nor did he make any stops, and led the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion to set off to the north on the same day. The soldiers of the army marched all the way and arrived at Shanhaiguan in only four days.

Liu Yunwei led the army to rest in Shanhaiguan for a day, during which Zhao Shujiao, the chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, found Liu Yunwei and reported the recent situation of the war in Liaodong.

"Supervisor, during this time, Huang Taiji seemed to be crazy, almost every day he commanded the Qing army to storm the Liaohe defense line, although the casualties of the Qing army were not small, but most of the losses captured by our army were the Han Eight Banners, the Korean Eight Banners, and the real Manchurian Eight Banners or the Mongolian Eight Banners were not many."

"That's right, Huang Taiji knew that Bendu was about to rush to the front line of the Liaohe River, so he was in a hurry, so he was ready to use the cannon fodder of the Han Eight Banners and the Korean Eight Banners to consume the strength of our army. What are the casualties of the officers and men of the battalions now? ”

Zhao Shujiao said: "It is still within the range of bearing, and the casualties of the soldiers of each battalion are estimated to be less than 10,000, but the casualties of the Qing army are estimated to be 60,000 or 70,000!" ”

Hearing this, Liu Yunwei nodded, a little relieved, and said: "Now that the 350,000 troops have set off by boat, this governor will set off tomorrow to rush to the front line of the Liao River." General Zhao, you and General Zu must guard the rear to ensure that the supply of the army is sufficient! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Shujiao immediately got up and said, "Please rest assured!" The lowly will do everything in his power to ensure that the supply of the army is foolproof! ”

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yunwei led the soldiers of the pacesetter battalion out of the customs and went north, without stopping along the way, and rushed directly to the front line of the Liaohe River.
