Chapter 223: Returning to the City, the Beauty Wins
Early in the morning, the soldiers of the Dengzhou Water Battalion vigilantly looked around on the water city, and of course, there were also many soldiers who patrolled back and forth in "Shi" units.
Since the fight Wang Zheng removed the original commander of the water battalion, although no new water battalion generals have been appointed, the water battalion has also been reorganized, more than 3,000 newly recruited water battalion soldiers to protect the safety of Penglai Water City, and a number of large and small water battalion generals have been newly promoted.
In addition to several large heavy guns of General Kamui standing at the head of the city, hundreds of large and small copper and iron cannons were set up at the head of the city together with the medium-sized Furlong cannon as early as January.
This kind of everything is showing outsiders that today's Penglai City is no longer the same as before.
These cannons are not fancy shelves, they are all put at the head of the city after being personally verified by the Military Department and Deng Heizi, the commander of the Dengzhou Battalion who stayed in Penglai, and the muzzle of the black hole makes the soldiers feel more stable.
Suddenly, a group of dark shadows appeared on the distant sea level, and a fleet of ships was slowly approaching.
The general of the water battalion, who was in charge of the defense of this water gate, frowned, thought for a while, and shouted:
"Immediately go to the city to communicate with President Deng Qian, and there is also a military council, and Master Li will also send someone there."
As soon as the general voice fell, several soldiers of the water battalion clenched their fists and obeyed the order, trotting down the city tower, and it didn't take long for Deng Heizi to take a few Dengzhou battalion generals to receive the news and personally ascend to the city.
Li Yan of the Left Army led the scribes of the Military Council Division to direct the auxiliaries to carry boxes and boxes of lead bullets, and groups of soldiers of the water battalion climbed the city tower under the command of the generals.
Within a few quarters of an hour, Penglai Water City was already full of water battalion soldiers who were waiting for battle.
Li Yan took the simple clairglass and looked at it carefully, and after seeing it clearly, he and Deng Heizi exchanged glances with each other, and both of them saw the surprise in each other's eyes.
I thought it was a pirate or a red hairy Yi again, but I didn't think that Wang Zheng had returned.
Yu'er was resting in the inner hall of the deputy marshal's mansion, and when she saw Xiao Cui running in with the corner of her skirt in surprise and joy, she wondered:
"Xiaocui, what's wrong, just now I saw President Deng Qian and Li Junyi running out in a hurry, could it be that some thieves are coming to attack the city?"
Xiao Cui waved his hand again and again, and said breathlessly:
"General's wife, General Wang is back, President Deng Qian and Li Junyi are going out to greet the soldiers with them!"
Hearing this, Yu'er didn't even realize that the wooden comb in her hand fell to the ground, and after reacting, she quickly got up, puffed up her hair and asked:
"Xianggong is back, Xiaocui help me take a look, is there anything wrong with him?"
Xiaocui said "oops", pulled Yu'er and ran out, and said with a smile as she ran:
"My general's wife, you are beautiful, Xiao Cui said, the general will definitely win again, now that he is really back, I don't know what kind of big victory it will be this time!"
Yu'er was also a little in a hurry, and ran out with some female maids, but after running halfway, she suddenly turned her head back, shook her head and said:
"No, I'm going to call my mother, and I'm back!"
Xiao Cui patted her little head in annoyance, and said with some self-reproach:
"Madam, look at the slave's memory, such a big thing has been forgotten, the slave and maid will go to inform the old lady, she is talking about it every day these days!"
"Don't go yet!"
When the king won the battle, most of the people cheered, but after all, some people who couldn't see the light nested in their homes and kicked the stools down.
They couldn't figure it out, why shouldn't this Wang Zheng come back from Liaodong, where everyone said it was dead?
There were fewer soldiers in the Dengzhou battalion than when they came, but this could not stop the joy of the soldiers and the people.
Some families even set off firecrackers to celebrate, for them, the Dengzhou camp returned victoriously, the good days can continue, and there will be no changes in the boundaries of Dengzhou.
The soldiers walked neatly along the avenue with axes and guns on their faces, and each soldier deliberately tied the bloody Tartar heads to the tips of the thatchs when they were about to disembark, and all kinds of heads shook along the way.
Even these people can see that these heads are all serious Jiannu heads, not Liu Zeqing's murderous exploits, nor are they the thieves who killed their wives and children, and took their land!
This was not the end of the story, and the people found that there were still some women in the back of the queue.
The women, all dressed in flag-man costumes, and some of them seemed to be wealthy and noble, and they looked weak when they walked, and they were obviously not less guilty on the ship.
However, these are not the Jiannu women who were captured and plundered by the Dengzhou camp, they are all the widows and daughters of Nurhachi in the Khan's palace, and the Jiannu clan relatives who are serious children.
These Fujin wives used to be extremely graceful and wealthy in the Eight Banners clan, and it was said that Dongguo, who was killed by Wang Zheng, was respected very much by Huang Taiji, but at this time, they were all stuffy and didn't even dare to come out.
In their eyes, these Southern Barbarian armies were simply more cruel than their Eight Banners armies.
Huang Taiji's own sister, Princess Dongguo, was beheaded by the fierce Southern Barbarian General without hesitation because of a few words, and finally ended up hanging her body in a different place.
Nen Zhe now has the highest status, she is the second daughter of Nurhachi, and now she has become the guiding light of these blessings.
Nen Zhe looked at the thunderous people of Dengzhou around him, and looked carefully at Penglai City.
This place is not the same as the Nanban city in her impression, these Ming troops are also different from the ordinary Nanbanzi, if the Nanbanzi's army is like this, how can it be scattered by his Eight Banners strong army?
The road was full of welcoming people, both large and small, and even some elderly people who were over the age of sixtieth birthday were hurriedly carried out by their families and threw a few vegetable leaves at them.
Wang Zheng rode the tall horse brought by Deng Heizi and marched at the front of the queue, and behind him were Dong Youyin, Huang Yang, and other Heizi, and the soldiers walked in unison.
Li Yan looked at this scene, shocked, clapped his hands and shouted: "What a heavenly soldier!" ”
Deng Heizi nodded beside him, shook his head and said:
"I don't know how much the generals, Youyin, Yangzi and Liangzi have suffered in Liaodong in the past two months, and how many soldiers can come back."
Li Yan's face was pale, and he didn't say more.
This surprise attack battle deep into Liaodong was a great victory on the surface, but the hardships and hardships inside were known only to Wang Zheng and those soldiers who went out to fight.
The Dengzhou battalion had a full 5,000 soldiers to go to Liaodong, and in the end only more than 3,000 people could come back.
When Wang Zheng returned, like all the soldiers, his heart was extremely happy.
This time, they not only razed the entire Hetuala to the ground, but also killed countless Jiannu, and almost every soldier had a few heads into the account, which was really a great breath of anger for the Han people.
But after the Military Council Department reported the results of the battle damage, Wang Zheng couldn't laugh anymore.
The so-called battle damage, in fact, almost all of the casualties of the soldiers, this time the Tatars suffered heavy losses, and the Dengzhou battalion was also not light, in order to be able to maneuver quickly, Wang Zheng in addition to emptying the Jinzhou City close to the mouth of Lushun, a large amount of gold, silver and swords and weapons found in Hetuara did not bring at all.
This is the Dengzhou battalion since the number of battles, the heaviest casualties, more than 1,000 elite soldiers died in Liaodong, even the body did not have time to be recovered, can only be hastily buried in Liaodong.
No matter how dazzling this battle was, Wang Zheng was still uneasy.
On the day he returned to Penglai City, Wang Zheng immediately sent people to send the widows and children of Nen Zhe and Nurhachi to Beijing by boat, followed by a special battle exploit for all the soldiers who returned from the expedition, and went home to recuperate during a ten-day long vacation.
Wang Zheng didn't fall asleep at all that night, the things in his mind were chaotic, and he couldn't take it lightly, Yu'er also snuggled in Wang Zheng's arms and silently accompanied him for one night.
Thank you all for your support!
