As soon as Li Xin's words were finished, Li Guoyan, the first assistant of the cabinet, immediately took over the conversation and said: "The place you said about the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, the original Jinzhou Guard, now the Jinzhou Guard has been abolished, but Denglai and Dongjiang, both set up forts and garrisons here, and sent generals to defend, after the victory of Dongjiang Town last year, the imperial court has set up the Dongjiang Town Left Road General Military Office in the former Jinzhou Acropolis, Your Majesty's attention to this place can be seen!" How can you not know that you are a scholar in the Wuying Palace? ”

Of course, Li Xin knew this, and he also knew that just ten or twenty years ago, there was a general named Shen Yourong, who used this place as the basis to respond to Liaodong and Liaoxi, and tried to ensure that the land of Jiliao was as stable as Mount Tai for many years.

However, this trip to North Korea, passing through Lushunkou, also went to Phi Island, although I did not see the left side of Dongjiang Town, Qu Chengen, but also knew that the left side of Dongjiang Town was difficult to operate in Jinzhou, and the castles north of Jinzhou, except for a few along the coast, have all been lost, and Jinzhou is already a lonely city.

In this case, since Mao Wenlong did not hide it from Jiang Yueguang, he naturally did not hide it from Emperor Chongzhen.

Sure enough, just as Li Xin looked up to see the emperor's expression, Emperor Chongzhen spoke.

"What Shoufu said is naturally the truth, and what Li Xin said is also the truth. Not long ago, Anton Hou Mao Wenlong had a secret report, saying that because of the rebellion of the brothers of Pyongyang's Bo Liu Xingzuo, the two white flags of Jianyu went south to Fuzhou in the first month, and the Han people north of Jinzhou who had not crossed the sea and fled to the Dongjiang River were all slaughtered by the two white flags.

"Most of the mountain cities and fortresses that the General Military Mansion on the left side of Dongjiang Town received from the Liu Xingzuo brothers fell into the hands of the enemy, and only a few places near the sea in the east still exist. Golden State is isolated in front of the enemy, and it is already an isolated city. The General Military Office on the left side of Dongjiang Town was moved to Changshan Island. This is known to the Military Aircraft Department. ”

Seeing that the emperor mentioned the Military Aircraft Department, the British Duke Zhang Weixian immediately said: "Your Majesty, the military aircraft department is already considering whether to carry out the Governor of Wendenlai, Sun Guozhen, and order him to increase his troops in Lushunkou. Now that Your Majesty asks, please make it clear! ”

Sun Chengzong, the deputy assistant of the cabinet and the minister of military aircraft, led a group of men and horses to Jizhen and the border to inspect, and had not been in Beijing for nearly a month, and the affairs of the military aircraft department were naturally taken care of by the British public Zhang Weixian.

Li Guowei heard that the emperor and Zhang Weixian both said this, and knew that there was probably some military information in it, and he, the first assistant, might not know everything, so he didn't say anything more.

At this time, Li Xin heard Zhang Weixian, the minister of military aircraft, say that the military aircraft department had the meaning of letting Denglai increase the troops in Lushunkou, and immediately kowtowed on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, Denglai has the spare strength to increase the troops in Lushunkou, the court may be able to discuss again, but Weichen wants to ask His Majesty for an order, there is no need for the court to send a soldier, only His Majesty gives the minister a handwritten order, and the minister has a batch of ordnance and food, and the minister is willing to recruit thousands of young and strong villagers, go to the land of Tun Lushunkou, and join hands with Lushun to defend Li Weiluan, and revitalize this strategic place for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Weichen is willing to make a military order, within a year, if it is in vain, the minister will obey the court to punish the minister for the crime of bullying the king!"

Now around Emperor Chongzhen, there is no one who is a simple mediocre talent, and if you know a little bit about the geography of Liaodong, you will understand the importance of the strategic location of Lushunkou.

More than 200 years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent a large army to subdue Liaodong, the soldiers were divided into two routes, all the way out of Shanhaiguan to the north, and all the way from Dengzhou to the north.

After landing at a place called Shishikou at the southern tip of the peninsula at that time, the army felt that the journey was smooth and calm, and the journey was very smooth.

This is the origin of the place name of Lushunkou.

Of course, the importance of the strategic position of the Liaodong Peninsula, of course, the people of insight in the Ming court also saw it, when Yuan Keli served as the governor of Denglai, Shen Yourong, the general soldier of Denglai, was sent to garrison Jinzhou, which played a very important role.

It's just that after the capture of the country, the high-level officials of the Jin State of course also knew that the location of this place was important, so they sent troops to attack again and again every time they went.

However, the Ming side suffered misfortunes, first Shen Yourong, the marshal of Denglai, died of illness, then Yuan Keli was transferred, and then Zhang Pan, the general who succeeded Shen Yourong, died in battle.

After repeated blows, the situation of the Ming army on the Liaodong Peninsula is getting worse and worse, first the fall of Haizhouwei, then the fall of Gaizhouwei, and then the fall of Fuzhouwei, and now the hometown of Jinfu Gaihai Siwei on the Liaodong Peninsula is now only half of Jinzhouwei, that is, the shallow hills and hills south of Jinzhou City at this time.

Anyway, the Liu Xingzuo brothers once gave a glimmer of hope to the situation on the Liaodong Peninsula, but in the end it turned out that it was just a flash in the pan.

Due to the dangerous terrain of Jinzhou City, and it happened to be stuck on the narrowest section of the isthmus at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, it was only because of the lack of naval fleet that the two white flags of Jianyu did not succeed further, and it was barely able to keep Jinzhou City, and barely kept the place of Jinzhou Zhongzuo in the south of Jinzhou City.

This Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute, which has existed for more than 200 years in history, has long been abandoned now, and the military households and Han people have long been deserted, but the abandonment of the guard is abandoned, and the current Denglai governor Sun Guozhen and Denglai chief soldier Zhang Keda have not abandoned Lushunkou.

Because once the Lushunkou is abandoned, then Denglai will become a real enemy, and even the connection between the imperial court and Dongjiang Town will be greatly affected.

Therefore, they basically adhered to Yuan Keli's policy, stationed troops in the city of Jinzhou Zhongzuo, as a plan to hold on, before Huang Long was the guard, and now after Huanglong was transferred to the Tianjin Water Division, Li Weiluan, who graduated from the first phase of the martial arts hall, was the guard.

But even so, it's just Kankan sticking to it.

Previously, Denglai and Dongjiang generals and Liu Xingzuo, who were stationed in Fuzhou instead of Jianyu, reached a tacit understanding with each other, Denglai and Dongjiang generals did not attack Houjin from the north from Jinzhou and Fuzhou, and the Fuzhou army of Liu Xingzuo and other brothers did not go south to attack Jinzhou and Lushun, so the two sides were able to achieve peace and quiet in a few years.

But now, this tacit understanding has disappeared with Liu Xingzuo's return to the Ming Dynasty anyway, and the high-level Jianyu no longer trusts the Han generals who surrendered in the past, but let the two white flags Dolgon and Duoduo personally lead the army to sit in Gaizhou and Fuzhou.

As a result, the situation in Golden State and Lushun has deteriorated dramatically, at least not as calmly as it has been in the past few years.

Now whether Qu Chengen feels the pressure of Jianyu's troops going south, even Li Weiluan, who is guarding Lushunkou, is also worried.

Therefore, when Li Xin and others stopped at Lushunkou, Li Weiluan and Li Xin had a very happy conversation at first sight, and all kinds of ideas were very compatible, so when Li Xin proposed to go to Lushunkou to reclaim the army, he still did not forget to work with Li Weiluan.

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen listened to Li Xin's words and knew that he had made up his mind and was not afraid of hardships and dangers, so he also decided to send him to try to open up a new world.

However, he first asked: "What is Li Weiluan's position now?" ”

The emperor's question made several important ministers in the palace look at each other, a little-known small character, who can know what position he is now?

At this time, it was Li Xin who replied: "Your Majesty, Li Weiluan is currently the general of Lushunkou, and he led 2,000 soldiers of the Denglai Marine and Land Battalion under his command, stationed in the sailor battalion of the former Jinzhou Zhongzuo Institute in Lushunkou. ”

Seeing Emperor Chongzhen's questioning like this, everyone knew that Li Xin's words had moved the emperor, and they all waited for the following calmly.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen pondered for a while, he said loudly: "Spread my will, from now on, the imperial court will set up the Lushun Town Guard Mansion in Lushunkou, and Li Xin, a scholar in the Wuying Palace, will serve as the envoy of Lushun Town, and Li Xin will also serve as the imperial history of Dengzhou Town Supervisor.

"Now the Lushun Mouth Staff General Li Weiluan's water and land battalions have been transferred to the Lushun Town Guard. In addition, Teen allowed Li Xin to return to his hometown to recruit 5,000 young and strong people, and go to Lushun as soon as possible to prepare for war in order to forge ahead.

"The ordnance and materials needed by the Lushun Town Guard Mansion are allocated by the Armament Institute on a priority basis, and the required generals can be recruited among the students of the third phase of the Lecture Martial Arts Hall, and the military horses and horses required by Qiangu are coordinated and supplied by Sun Guozhen, the governor of Denglai."

After saying this, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the excited Li Xin, and said slowly: "I entrust Yu Qing with Lushun, and I hope that Qing will not live up to my hopes!" ”

After Li Xin listened to Emperor Chongzhen's words, his heart was very excited, and he bowed to the emperor on the ground again and again, and then said: "Even if Weichen is broken, he will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" ”
