The fourth volume of the sharp blade out of the sheath Shenzhou moves

The traverser is good, knowing the general trend of history, he can use all resources, integrate all forces, and open the anger of revenge against Jiannu.

In fact, seriously speaking, Zheng Zhilong, North Korea, Mongolia and Daming are all sworn enemies of Jiannu, and there is no possibility of resolution.

It's a pity that there are many things that people don't have eyes behind their backs, so that they often make decisions that they regret.

This time, Qin Haoming can be said to have exhausted all his efforts, and he took great pains to bring Zheng Zhilong and North Korea closer to this fateful ending.

I believe that after this battle, the situation will be very different. Of course, the premise is that he can achieve victory in order to stabilize the situation.

Therefore, when Qin Haoming first arrived on Jeju Island, he had already begun to prepare his battle plan, and his first goal was Lushun.

It can be said that for this day, he has been planning for a long time. Now, it's time to check the results of the Dark Guard.

The reason why he attaches so much importance to this is that in addition to the strategic goals for the future, he has other considerations.

On June 15, the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, a merchant ship came to Lushunkou in the wind and waves.

At this time, at the bow of the merchant ship, stood a young man dressed as a merchant, and behind him stood several men dressed as guards.

They were standing on the boat, taking a closer look at this fine northern port.

Lushunkou, an excellent port, even if the winter at the end of the Ming Dynasty is extremely cold, the freezing time of Lushunkou is very short.

It is even said that in the early years, when the weather was not so cold, the harbor of Lushunkou did not even freeze all year round.

In addition, it is a natural harbor due to its secluded and dangerous location.

Lushunkou and Miaodao Islands and Penglaijiao of Shandong Peninsula together choke the Bohai Strait, forming a natural barrier between Beijing, Tianjin and the Bohai Sea coast.

For the Ming Dynasty, which has the capital of Beijing, it has always been an extremely important place.

It's a pity that such an important place, Daming has been lost for several years and fell into the hands of Jiannu.

In the second year of Chongzhen, after Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of Dongjiang, was killed by Yuan Chonghuan, the internal contradictions in Dongjiang Town became increasingly intensified, and its old troops successively made rebellion in Phidao and Dengzhou.

Although the imperial court successively pacified the rebellion of Dongjiang and Dengzhou, with some traitors such as Kong Youde took refuge in Jiannu, with the assistance of these traitors, Jiannu sent troops to attack Lushun in the sixth year of Chongzhen.

The Ming army stationed in Lushun, although they resisted bravely, were finally outnumbered and defeated, and Lushun fell into the hands of Jiannu.

After the loss of Lushun, the Ming army also soon lost Guanglu, Changshan and other maritime islands.

In the tenth year of Chongzhen, Shen Shikui, the last general soldier of Dongjiang Town, defeated Phi Island, defeated Shicheng Island, and was finally captured and died, and the Ming Dynasty completely lost control of Liaohai and the surrounding islands.

Fortunately, Jiannu did not have a navy, otherwise they could have gone to sea from Lushun, easily crossed the short Bohai Strait, and landed on the coast of northern Shandong.

In this way, the Tartars can ignore the heavy defense lines laid by the Ming army in the area of Shanhaiguan, and can invade the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

"Is this the Port of Arthur?" The young merchant standing at the bow of the ship asked aloud.

"Yes, we're going to arrive at Lushunkou soon." One of the guards behind him replied.

Port Arthur.

Sui and Tang Dynasty named the town of Li, the Yuan called the lion's mouth, the Ming Dynasty Hongwu four years, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent Ma Yun, Ye Wang two generals, led the army from Shandong Penglai to cross the sea by boat, here landed to recover Liaodong.

Because of the smooth sailing on the sea, they changed the name of the lion's mouth to Lushunkou in order to celebrate, and it has been used to this day.

It used to be a very prosperous port.

When the Ming Dynasty was still ruling Liaodong, the route from Liaodong to Guannai was not by land around Jinzhou Shanhaiguan, but by sea.

It is mainly from the Denglai Peninsula in Shandong Province by boat, through the Miaodao Islands, to the Lushun Port landing, you can easily reach the Guanwai.

Later, the rise of Jiannu outside the Guan, the imperial army went to Liaodong to discuss, and most of its grain and baggage were also transported to Lushunkou through Denglai.

It was also a prosperous commercial port, and the leather and medicinal materials of Liaodong were transported back to Shandong by sea, and the grain and cloth of Shandong were sold to Liaodong from here.

Even, it was once an important transit point on the road between Daming and North Korean traders.

From Penglai in Shandong to Lushun in Liaodong, the sea route is only more than 200 miles.

But now, under the rule of Jiannu, Lushunkou has long been prosperous.

"There are so few ships in the harbor?"

Dong Changqing looked at Lushun Port at this time, such an excellent seaport with an important location, but there were only a few ships in it at this time.

And most of them were small boats, some sand boats, some small fortune boats, mostly sloops, and many smaller fishing boats, which did not even have masts.

The boats were small and dilapidated, and most of the boatmen and fishermen on board were ragged and thin-skinned, with some soldiers patrolling the harbor and some arrow tower guards.

"Hey, this place used to be very prosperous, and there were hundreds of big ships moored in the port, but since Jiannu occupied this place, it has become like this."

Fan Hailiang, the owner of this merchant ship, looked at the bleak Port of Arthur at this time, and said with a sigh. 、

Since Jiannu captured Lushun, the Ming court completely lost control of the Liaodong Peninsula and the islands on the Liaohai Sea.

Since the Ming army was unable to counterattack and recapture Lushun, the imperial court ordered that merchants and fishermen from Shandong and other places should be prohibited from going to the coast of the Liaohai Sea to do business and fish.

Although there are still some businessmen who will secretly come to smuggle and sell goods, this is a great risk, and the Shandong businessmen who dare to take this risk are still a minority after all.

So, in just a few years, it quickly fell into the cold.

"Are the Jiannu men stationed here in Lushun?" Dong Changqing turned to the shopkeeper Fan and asked.

"There are not many Jiannu stationed in Lushunkou, and they used to send the three traitors of Shandong to guard Lushunkou.

My lord, don't you know that these traitors grovel to Jiannu, but they are very fierce and tight to the people of Lushun, and they have engaged in all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in Lushun, making the people of Lushun miserable. ”

Fan Hailiang was respectful and told Dong Changqing the information he had discovered.

That's right, at this time, there were not many troops stationed on the Liaodong Peninsula, and there were not many Jiannu, and their elites were all concentrated in the Shengjing area.

At this time, instead of Jiannu guarding the Liaodong Peninsula, it was the team of the three traitors of Shandong, Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi, who betrayed the Ming Dynasty and took refuge in the Tartars.

Kong Youde and the three of them were once under the command of Mao Wenlong, the chief soldier of the Dongjiang River, and became their righteous sons.

Later, Mao Wenlong was killed, Kong Youde and others defected to Shandong, and finally they all rebelled, and defected to Jiannu after the defeat.

After they defected to the Tartars, Huang Taiji was very happy and named them the princes of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because the titles of the three of them all had a straight character, so they were also called 'Three Shun Kings'.
