The mouth of Qingdao is also cold and windy.

Shogishi squinted his eyes, and his face was relaxed. For the first time in a few days, he felt relaxed.

Since the beginning of the Battle of Qilu, Jiang An felt as if he was carrying a huge burden, which also exceeded the limit of what he could carry, making it difficult for him to breathe.

After all, he has been transferred to civil affairs for a long time, and commanding operations is more about staying in the rear and handling logistics affairs, and after Gu Jiaming left, he didn't care about it at first, but the development of the next battle situation made him nervous.

After Gu Jiaming broke into the city, he relied on the strong city defense of Jin'nan to withstand the strong attack of Jianyu. After the addition of 2,000 elite reinforcements in the city, Jianlu's will to attack the city was no longer resolute - in fact, Jianguo fought all the way and did not attack Jiancheng at all, and the reason why he besieged Jinan was because he learned from the captives that Jinan's only had less than 3,000 people defending the city.

According to the information obtained by Jiang'an, as the leader of the two armies of Jianyu, Dolgon and Yue Tuo broke up unhappily, and the two sides divided their troops, Dolgon stayed under the southern city of Ji', but Yue Tuo marched eastward and began to enter Qing'zhou, aiming directly at Denglai, whose vanguard had reached Gaomi.

And the Jianyu did not hide their purpose: Qingdao Pass.

Obviously, after the Battle of Gyeonggi and the Battle of Phi Dao, Jianyu has begun to face up to the opponent of Xinxianghuwei, and has made Xinxianghu Satellite TV a priority target in the battlefield.

This was completely unexpected by Jiang'an, who thought that even if Jianyu wanted to do it, it would be impossible to come across the Qingzhou Mansion, but he never thought that Jianyu would really make such a big move!

He only had less than 4,000 troops transferred from Tamna Island, of which there were only more than 2,000 Huwei!

Qingdao Kou itself exists as a transit terminal, and there are not too many city defense measures, so if the captives come to attack, then he has no danger to defend!

Fortunately, when he was at his worst, he saw the fleet in the distance.

The size of the fleet is unexpectedly large, and more than a dozen ships cannot be loaded and unloaded at the same time with the current capacity of Qingdaokou. Therefore, the first to dock must be the ship carrying people. A group of Tiger Guards landed on the troop carrier, and although there was a long-distance maritime content in the regular training of the Tiger Guards, after sitting on the ship for more than 50 days and nearly 60 days, they could not help but kick the ground hard.

There were temporary breaks in Quan'zhou, Wenzhou, and Ningbo, but after that, they went north and stayed on the ship for twenty days.

Jiang An saw Yu Guozhen dressed like a Tiger Guard officer at a glance, he trotted up quickly and saluted Yu Guozhen: "Governor of Yicheng, Jiang An, salute Gongzi!" ”

"Salute!"

The tiger guards on the shore saluted and stared at their leader with admiration.

After staying on the ship for more than 20 days, Yu Guozhen's expression was also a little haggard, but his spirit was fine. He returned the salute, said "Bow over", and then grabbed Jiang An's hand.

"Veteran, I've worked hard for you, what about Xiao Gu?"

"Jiaming took 2,000 people to the southern city of Ji', if they don't go, the south of the Ji'nan will not be defended."

"Oh?" Yu Guozhen was a little dissatisfied: "Can he keep it if he goes?" ”

"There are 600,000 people in the city."

This sentence made Yu Guozhen's expression solemn, and the secret order he left for Gu Jiaming was to rescue Zhang Bingwen and Fang Mengshi's family if necessary - the Fang family was a very important literati family to Yu Guozhen, not just a foreign relative. However, with 600,000 people in the city, it was completely different, and he nodded: "If you can't hold it, you have to hold it!" ”

"Yes, the court didn't put the people in their eyes, the dog officials didn't put the people in their eyes, if the petty officials didn't put the people in their eyes anymore, they would really be helpless."

"Don't be a sycophant, our tiger guard was originally the tiger guard of Huaxia, not the tiger guard of my Yu Guozhen!" Yu Guozhen snorted: "Don't compare the court and dog officials with me, I'm ashamed!" ”

Jiang An smiled and nodded: "Yes, yes, the villain is wrong." ”

Yu Guozhen rolled his eyes, where did he say something wrong, he just confirmed his thoughts again.

Sometimes, Yu Guozhen also felt funny, these student disciples he taught by himself, now with the growth of age and knowledge, also began to have some thoughts of their own. Like Huo Yan, he went to extremes, but more like Jiang An, he taught some of the ideas he taught them and used them to guide his actions. For example, when Yu Guozhen instilled the sense of honor of the Tiger Guard, he often mentioned that the Tiger Guard was not a one-person Tiger Guard, but the Tiger Guard of China.

Of course, in the back, Yu Guozhen also added a sentence "Do what you can, save your strength, and don't make unnecessary sacrifices", which is also a sentence that Huo Yan did not remember.

"The petty officials came in person, are they going to fight a big fight?" Shogishi asked again.

"There is a plan, but we must first figure out the situation before making a final decision, we will not fight unprepared battles, nor will we fight uncertain battles." Yu Guozhen said: "What is the situation of Jianyu now, and what is the situation of the officers and soldiers of the imperial court...... Well, how much can Sun Kexian help us? ”

Speaking of Sun Lin, Yu Guozhen's expression was a little faint.

After all, Sun Lin is a scholar in this era, and he has not really experienced major twists and turns, it can be said that except for the loss of his father at a young age, he is smooth sailing, looking at problems and thinking about things, he can't jump out of the constraints of this era. For example, he still always puts his loyalty to the Zhu Ming royal family before his loyalty to Huaxia, or in his heart, the Zhu Ming royal family is Huaxia.

Yu Guozhen doesn't think that the people are the foundation of China, without the emperor, the people still live, without the people, even his tiger guard will be difficult to exist for a day, let alone the Son of Heaven in the Forbidden City.

Yu Guozhen didn't blame Sun Lin, anyway, Yu Guozhen's support for Sun Lin was reduced to 5,000 people after the Phi Dao War, and this price was extremely cheap compared with Yu Guozhen's possession of the good port of Qingdao as a stronghold and transit port.

Although the land near Qingdao Pass was indeed rewarded by Chongzhen, if someone else was appointed as the chief soldier here, Yu Guozhen would never be allowed to put 2,000 tiger guards here, hoard a large amount of military funds, and at the same time recruit people and craftsmen to go to Tamna Island.

The military salary of 5,000 people, according to the standard of Denglai soldiers, that is, it cost Yu Guozhen a mere 100,000 taels of silver, and Xinxiang did not have to bear their military salary. Compared to these gains, he still earned - to know the trade route to the Korean war, in order to avoid the pirates that the Zheng family secretly supported, the only way to take Qingdao Pass - Yicheng - Hirado is the safest.

This income is more than 100,000 a year.

"Sun Kexian has sent someone, he has arrived in Linqing, and ...... He had a letter addressed to the officials. He took out a cloth bag and handed it to Yu Guozhen.

Yu Guozhen snorted, if Sun Lin was a tiger guard, he would have been dismissed by him a long time ago, and the top ten ** is the same as Huo Yan, where to go to build roads. However, I heard that Huo Yan has done a good job in Xinhangcheng and has been promoted to the position of supervisor again, so there is still talent for that guy.

Opening the letter, Yu Guozhen was stunned.

The letter was written in handwriting, not in ink, but in blood.

"I was wrong."

There are only these three words, but they are written like knives and axes, which looks shocking. Yu Guozhen's brows furrowed tightly, and he looked at Jiang An: "What does he mean by this?" ”

The person he sent said that although he is now under Gao Qiqian, he does not have much military power, and he is suppressed by Gao Qiqian everywhere, especially ...... After seeing Lu Xiangsheng's death, he cried bitterly and locked himself all night. ”

"That's all?"

The man also said that he was temporarily in the high dive area, just waiting for the official's order.

Jiang An emphatically said the word "order", Yu Guozhen glared at him, and he smiled again: "Official, it's the messenger's original words." ”

It seems that Lu Xiangsheng's death gave Sun Lin a great stimulus, and he really realized his mistake.

Moreover, he was only afraid that he would have a grudge against Gao Qiqian who had ruined his hard work, and staying by Gao Qiqian's side was also waiting for some kind of opportunity.

"If you don't change your reckless surname, you will only get into trouble." Yu Guozhen frowned.

"The high diving department is in Linqing, Yan Jizu and others are in Dezhou, they can't count on anything, although they are on both sides, there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses."

Yan Jizu didn't have many people, but before Zu Kuan was ordered to curb Jianyu, he had all the soldiers and horses under the jurisdiction of the Shan'dong General Army in his hands, and he gathered the remnants of the army, and there were many people in his hands. If they really came to help, Jianyu would never dare to besiege Jinan.

"Where's Jianyu?"

"The captives were divided into two routes, one way led by Dolgon, surrounding Jin'an, and now they are surrounded but not attacked, but they are filled in the ditches and trenches by the officers and soldiers who surrendered. The other way, led by Yue Tuo, has entered Qingzhou, and the news that he got this morning is that his forward is a man named Ma Zhan, with about 3,000 people, and has arrived in Gaomi. ”

"Gaomi!" Yu Guozhen was stunned when he heard this: "This is for us!" ”

"Exactly!"

"Hmm......" Yu Guozhen was a little surprised, and a thought flashed through his mind: "He didn't know that I had arrived, right?" ”

"It's the villain, and it wasn't until I heard that the fleet was coming that I knew that the petty official had arrived."

"Well, you immediately block the news, and don't allow anyone to leave the port, just say ...... Jianyu came to attack, so martial law is here! The fatigue along the way suddenly disappeared, and Yu Guozhen felt that this was a great opportunity!

"Yes!" Will be the shore road.

Mao Yuanyi next to him already knew the news of Sun Chengzong's death at this time, as one of Sun Chengzong's most important disciples, Mao Yuanyi was really grief-stricken, but he had not lost the calm that he should have as a staff officer, and when he heard Yu Guozhen's words, he said in a low voice: "Nanhai Bo is going to eat this Jianyu?" ”

"Less than three thousand, and far away from the back team, this is exactly the meat delivered to the door, how can you not eat it?" Yu Guozhen said with a smile.

"Nanhai Bo, you have to be cautious, Jianyu is the most cunning!" Although he wanted to avenge Sun Chengzong, Mao Yuanyi still admonished: "You must be cautious, our military is coming by sea, and the soldiers are tired, so we must rest for at least three or five days before we can fight!" ”

Yu Guozhen pursed his lips, and then said: "I want to investigate the situation of Jianyu in detail, as for rest, I will only give them one day to rest." ”

"Just one day? At the end of the strong crossbow, don't wear Lu Min! Mao Yuanyi suddenly became anxious.

"Huwei claims to be the strongest army in the world, and if they want to do this, they don't just rely on their usual training and equipment, they also need to have the perseverance to fight tough battles." Yu Guozhen smiled: "I believe that they can do it!" ”
