[Today's second update is delivered, during the strong push period, the three changes are 9,000 words a day, and please support ~~~~]

The rat sat down to drink water, and Zhang Zhun paced back and forth in the official hall of a thousand households. The brows were quietly locked together. In the past, he didn't have this habit. But now, he's used to thinking like that. This change, in the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Zhun is becoming more and more like a figure in a high position, but inadvertently, it also adds a little sense of awe.

The information brought by the rat made Zhang Zhun very vigilant. Sun Zhiqi sent people to contact the Tartars, what did he want to plot? Will it be bad for Fushan City? Will the Tartars suddenly launch an attack on Fushan City when they are not expecting it? Will Sun Zhiqi himself have a new attack?

Well, Zhang Zhun admits that he is indeed a little oversensitive now. The first thing that comes to mind is oneself and the safety of Fushan City. There is no way, in such troubled times, a little carelessness may bring disaster to yourself. If it's just him, it's not a big problem. Even in the most difficult of circumstances, he believed that with his ability to escape, there would be absolutely no problem in escaping.

However, at this moment, his fate has been tied to many people. They are not capable of escaping the enemy's hands. If Fushan City suffers a plot, it will definitely not only be him personally, but also many, many people, including the people he loves and those who love him. Those military households who have just had hope, those who support and love him, will all become dead souls under the knife.

If they suffer losses, even if he escapes by luck and has a chance to make a comeback in the future, it will take a lot of effort to start again. By any measure, a restart is not the best option. Therefore, any behavior that may cause Fushan City to be severely damaged is absolutely not allowed.

After a while, Zhang Zhun stopped and asked cautiously, "How many Tartars are there on Tianheng Island?" ”

The mouse shook his head and said, "This is not enough. Ever since the Tartars occupied the island, it has been cut off from the outside world. Except for the Han people from Liaodong, the local Han people in Shandong could not go to Tianheng Island at all. Therefore, it is impossible to send people to infiltrate to obtain information. ”

In fact, there are Tartars on Tianheng Island, and the time is not very long. It should be around the second year of Chongzhen at the earliest. The basis is that at that time, Jimo Zhi County once played to the political envoy of Shandong, saying that there were Liao people on Tianheng Island, and they often went ashore to raid and plunder, and asked the Shandong Capital Division to send troops to deal with it. After that, it was gone.

The second year of Chongzhen (the third year of Jin Tiancong, that is, 1629 AD) was a relatively chaotic year. This is true of both Houjin and Daming. On the Ming side, Yuan Chonghuan first killed Mao Wenlong, and there was a lot of uproar; Then the Tartars entered the Kou, besieged the Beijing Division, and the world shook; Then Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned. Because of the Tartars' entry into the Kou, Emperor Chongzhen became angry and ordered that Wang Qia, the secretary of the military department at that time, and others be imprisoned, and he really killed several officials. As a result, people are panicked and everyone is in danger. Since then, the generals have begun to support their own troops.

On Houjin's side, Huang Taiji, who was already very dissatisfied with Amin, also found an opportunity to kill people with a knife. At the end of his entry into the Ming Dynasty and when he retreated from the interior of the Ming Dynasty, he deliberately arranged for Amin to stay in the four cities of Zunhua, Yongping, Luanzhou, and Qian'an. In the face of the swarming hundreds of thousands of Ming troops, Amin did not dare to resist and directly ordered to abandon the city and flee. Before escaping, Amin ordered that all the people of the four cities be slaughtered, leaving no one behind. Huang Taiji used this as an excuse to relieve Amin of military power, and finally put him under house arrest until his death.

After Amin was convicted, the blue banner in his name was transferred to Zilharang, who became one of the eight highest-ranking Wagho Beyls. He inherited Amin's vast family fortune and population. Although Jilharang is Amin's own brother, he has always been good friends with Huang Taiji, and he can't get along with Amin's brother on many issues. As a result, the strength of Huang Taiji's cronies has increased significantly, and since then, no one has been able to pose a threat to him.

After Amin was placed under house arrest, some of his henchmen were unwilling to follow Zilharang, so they fled from Liaodong to North Korea, and then from North Korea to the sea. Within the control of Huang Taiji, there is no living space for these tartars. They drifted and drifted on the sea, and unintentionally came to the coast of Shandong and settled on Tianheng Island.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Tartars passed into the Kou and knew for the first time the defense of the Ming army in the interior, which turned out to be so empty. At the same time, it was also the first time to understand that the Ming army in the interior was so weak in combat effectiveness. If the Ming army in Liaodong is weak and incompetent and lacks the spirit of taking the initiative to attack, then the Ming army in the interior is completely scum! Don't dare to fight with the Jin Army at all! As long as there are dozens of Tartar cavalry, they can run rampant, burn and loot unscrupulously!

Therefore, although there may only be a few hundred people in the Tartars who have crossed the sea, they have firmly established themselves on Tianheng Island, and their power is still expanding. Pity Tian Heng, the land of 500 dead soldiers and martyrs, was ruined by the Tartars for no reason. In addition, Shamen Island, Liugong Island and other places were occupied by the fleeing Liao, and the coastal islands of Shandong were often infested by Liao, which eventually became a disaster.

Since the Tartars came to Tianheng Island, the southern boundary between Laizhou and Dengzhou has no longer been peaceful. Whether these Tartars wanted food or women, they went directly to the shore to grab them. The local defenders couldn't beat it at all, and every time they heard that the Tartars were coming, they hid far away, and waited until the Tartars had robbed enough, killed enough, burned enough, and were satisfied, and then left by themselves.

Tartars went ashore again and again to plunder, as if they were in a no-man's land. Unable to stand the poison of the Tartars, the people had to move out. In fact, the area around Tianheng Island is already ten rooms and nine empty. The nearest Xiongya Thousand Households to Tianheng Island, the remaining military households are less than 20% of the original. The number of military households in the Dashan Institute, which belongs to the jurisdiction of Da Songwei, is also less than 30% of the original.

Those craftsmen who were assigned to the jurisdiction of Fushan from the Xiongya, when they talked about the Tartars of Tianheng Island, they all gritted their teeth and hated them, but they were helpless. When those Tartars started fighting, they were all crazy, poorly equipped, and never trained, how could they be the opponents of the Tartars? In the final analysis, it's not that the Tartars are too strong and crazy, but that they are too bad and too cowardly.

Zhang Zhun thought for a while, and then asked, "Does the Tartar on Tianheng Island have a ship?" ”

The rat affirmed, "Yes! There are two pork belly boats. ”

Zhang Zhun nodded thoughtfully.

Pork belly ships are actually small merchant ships that are not armed. In the Ming Dynasty, inland waterway shipping and offshore trade both made extensive use of pork belly boats. If the pork belly ship is used for loading, it can carry about 30 tons of cargo (about 60,000 catties). If it is used to carry people, it can carry more than 200 people. Because its body size is relatively bloated, it seems to be a fat pork belly, and there are two anchor holes in the bow of the ship, which seem to be the two noses of a fat pig, so it is commonly known as a pork belly boat.

Due to the construction of the boat, the pork belly boat can generally only travel in inland rivers or offshore areas, and cannot resist too much wind and waves. There is generally no problem with such a route from Qingdao to Jiangnan, but if you want to go to Manila in the South Seas, you will not be able to do it. There are more fortune ships, treasure ships, or Manila galleons unique to Westerners.

Two pork belly boats, if necessary, can carry five or six hundred people. If these five or six hundred people are all Tartars or two Tartars, the combat effectiveness will be quite strong. If the Tartars landed on the surrounding coast of Fushan City by sea, Zhang Zhun and the others had to fight against each other. The slightest negligence may lead to the success of the Tartars.

Strategically, Zhang Zhun despised the Tartars. But tactically, Zhang Zhun never despised the Tartars. The Manchurian Eight Banners in the founding period and the Manchurian Eight Banners in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty are completely different things. During the founding period of the People's Republic of China, the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners of Manchuria was quite strong. If the Eight Banners of Manchuria during the founding period of the People's Republic of China are regarded as the Eight Banners of Manchuria during the invasion of the Eight-Nation Alliance, they will definitely fall to the bottom of the bar.

If it was really five or six hundred Tartars pressed over, even if all the escorts were dispatched, the battle situation would be very miserable. At a certain distance, the bow and arrow of the Tartar, in terms of lethality and rate of fire, are no worse than those of the Tiger Hammer. In terms of the courage and willpower of the soldiers, the two sides may be evenly matched. Even, the convoy is slightly worse.

After all, these Tartars on Tianheng Island are all under Amin's henchmen, and they are veterans of the battlefield, many of them are even white-armored soldiers, and they have very rich combat experience. And the fighters of the convoy, receiving systematic combat training, have been in less than two months. Even if Zhang Zhun has great ability, he doesn't dare to say that he can train an elite team in two months. Because, it's simply not possible.

In other words, if the Tartar does attack, he must find a way to contain the Tartar's bow and arrows, and at the same time, maximize the advantage of the Tiger Sword. If possible, don't engage in hand-to-hand combat with the Tartars at all. Don't even get within range of the Tartar's bow and arrows. The current Zhang Zhun really doesn't have much confidence in the assassination of the recruits. If I had another six months to train, it would have been much better.

The biggest advantage of the tiger is two. One is the range, which is two or three times longer than the Tartar bow and arrow. One is the ability to fight continuously, as long as there is ammunition, as long as there is no malfunction, it can be fired continuously. On the contrary, the Tartar archers, who shoot a maximum of twenty arrows, will have almost exhausted their strength.

In fact, as long as the distance between the two sides is more than 30 zhang, the threat of the Tartar's arrows will be much smaller. As the battle continues, the power of the Tartar is constantly depleted, and the lethality of the arrows also decreases. If the two sides fight a protracted war, the victorious side will inevitably be the escort team.

It's a pity that the production capacity of the Tiger Ben Gun is still seriously restricted, if it can burst out a hundred or dozens a day, the escort team will immediately expand the army, and the number will be even more than 1,000 people. When the time comes, as soon as five or six hundred Tartars emerge, the escort will be able to reimburse one-third of the guns with a row of guns. It's a pity that this is a white dream, unrealistic. The production of 20 tiger guns per day is already the limit of human and financial resources.
