Zhang Feng received the order, and not long after the eunuch who had just sent off the edict Wang Chaoyong entered the General Military Mansion, obviously, Wang Chaoyong had already gotten the news. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

It can be seen from Wang Chaoyong's expression that Wang Chaoyong has obvious joy on his face, his pace is a few points bigger than usual, and when he comes in, he has a loud voice, and his voice and tone are full of excitement and joy.

"Lord Commander, I heard that we are going to the battlefield, isn't it?"

Zhang Feng knew that Wang Chaoyong and the others had not been on the battlefield since the battle of Tianjin Wei, and everyone was so suffocated that they almost couldn't bear it, and at this time, good news came.

Zhang Feng's heart was also refreshed, a division of the army, more than 20,000 people, training for so long, in terms of training alone, it is almost the same, but the lack of actual combat, now it's okay, I want to go to the battlefield, it's really sleepy and someone sends a pillow.

Zhang Feng said happily: "Yes, the holy decree has arrived, requiring us to set off to Jinzhou immediately to fight the Tartars." ”

Hearing this, Wang Chaoyong was even more happy, and said loudly: "Lord Commander, we have been looking forward to this day for a long time, you give an order!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Feng calmed down, so many people, and went to Jinzhou, and moved the whole body, this is a big event, which needs to be carefully considered, scientifically arranged and planned.

So, Zhang Feng said loudly: "Pass my order, and hold a combat meeting in an hour." ”

"Yes!"

Wang Chaoyong stood up straight with a "snap", although Wang Chaoyong made himself as serious as possible, but the irrepressible excitement could still be seen on his face.

………..

Shengjing, Dolgon's mansion.

A Manchu general was reporting the latest information to Dolgon, and the Manchu general said: "Master, according to reliable information, the Ming Dynasty sent Zhang Feng, the chief soldier of Songjiang, to lead the troops to Jinzhou, if I am not mistaken, it should be aimed at our firearms battalion." ”

After listening to the report, Dolgon fell into the memories that he had always wanted to forget, but could never forget, and Dolgon's thoughts seemed to return to Tianjin Wei more than a year ago.

In the winter of the eleventh year of Chongzhen, it was in Tianjin Wei that Dolgon was defeated by Zhang Feng, and the loss was huge.

Dolgon stood up and said coldly: "I'm going to ask the emperor, I'm going to personally lead the troops to the battle, I'm going to meet this Zhang Feng for a while." ”

The Manchu general standing next to him was very stunned, and without thinking, Dolgon personally led the troops into battle.

Dolgon thought fiercely, "Zhang Feng, you came just in time, don't think about going back this time, give me a long rest outside Jinzhou City." ”

It can be seen that Dolgon is ruthless, and he doesn't know how many troops he will lead to go out in person, but the number of soldiers and horses will definitely not be small, because this time Dolgon is determined to defeat Zhang Feng.

……….

Jinzhou City.

Guan Ningjun Gao Qiqian was on the city wall of Jinzhou City, wearing a fur coat, and a group of little eunuchs were clustered next to him, Gao Qiqian's pomp was very large, and next to Gao Qiqian, there was Zhao Guangcai.

Zhao Guangcai never returned to Songjiang Mansion, but stayed by Gao Qiqian's side to play the role of a dog's leg, waiting for Gao Qiqian, and was also very valued and appreciated by Gao Qiqian.

"Father-in-law, the Manchu cavalry outside the city has all retreated, and their firearms battalion doesn't know where it went, you see, there is not a single Manchu soldier outside the city."

Gao Qiqian looked into the distance, except for the unmelted snow, there was only a mess, and there was no one in the distance, and there was a mess in the distance outside the city, indicating that there had been a battle here.

Ten days ago, thousands of cavalry of the Guanning Army and the Manchu firearms battalion had a confrontation outside the city, but before the Manchu firearms battalion, the Guanning army was defeated, if it was not for the garrison in the city to go out of the city to rescue, the thousands of cavalry would have been wiped out.

Gao Qiqian said: "There is no one outside the city, but I believe that those Tartars have not gone far, they are not far away, out of our sight, ready to attack us at any time." ”

A Ming army general next to him said: "Father-in-law, our Jinzhou City is impregnable, and there are three cities of Songshan, Xingshan, and Tashan as each other's horns, as long as we don't attack, the Tartars have no way to take us." ”

Gao nodded his head, knowing that this was the truth.

A little eunuch, in a hurry, trotted up almost all the way up the steps of the city wall, and walked quickly to Gao Qiqian's side, "Father-in-law, the latest news from the capital." ”

Gao Qiqian saw that the people around him were basically his henchmen, so he said in a deep voice: "Say." ”

The little eunuch said: "Father-in-law, long live the lord has issued an order, General Zhang Feng, the chief soldier of Songjiang, will lead the troops to Jinzhou and will assist us in fighting the Tartars." ”

Gao Qiqian said slowly: "The entire Jinzhou area is solid, we don't need others to help, after Zhang Feng and they come, let them be stationed outside the city, the city is too crowded, there is no place for them." ”

The little eunuch whispered: "Father-in-law, this... It's not good. ”

As we all know, it is the second month of the lunar calendar, although it is already spring, but the weather in Jinzhou is still relatively cold, which is stationed outside the city, that ......

Gao Qiqian's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly, the little eunuch didn't dare to come out, and the cold sweat was almost frightened.

Port of Shanghai.

After more than a year of continuous construction and improvement, the port of Shanghai has been decent, large-scale, long wharf, deep water, and now, there are many large ships docked next to the wharf, all steam-powered transport ships and warships.

Four 3,000-material transport ships, three 3,000-material warships, a total of seven 3,000-material ships, and in addition, there is a fleet on the sea not far away.

This is a fleet of ten ships of 2,000 materials and six ships of 1,000 materials, and there are not only sailors on board, but also soldiers who have already boarded the ships.

Yesterday, Zhang Feng had already held a meeting, and the soldiers boarded the ship in batches at the port of Shanghai, took a boat to Liaodong Bay, and everyone landed at the port of Jinzhou.

It is said that it is Jinzhou Port, but in fact it is just a small wharf, far less huge than the Jinzhou Port in later generations, but it is good to have a wharf, at least it can dock, and everyone can get off the ship at the wharf.

on the pier.

Zhang Feng watched the soldiers board the ship in an orderly manner, in addition to the personnel, there were also all kinds of materials, including ammunition and so on.

The main function of the 3,000-material transport ship is transportation, and the design is relatively scientific and reasonable, and it is more than enough for a ship to carry a battalion of fighters plus the ammunition and materials it carries.

About nine o'clock in the morning only.

Wang Chaoyong walked over quickly and reported loudly: "Lord Commander, all the personnel and equipment of the First Infantry Brigade have been on board, please instruct!" ”

Zhang Feng nodded, a brigade of thousands of people, including all kinds of supplies, all the warships are used to act as transport ships, so that they can be loaded, now, can.

Zhang Feng said loudly: "Let's go, let's get on the boat, order!" ”

Zhang Feng and Wang Chaoyong, with several guards, boarded the flagship together, which was a 3,000-material warship, and at the boarding gate of the warship, Navy Commander Zhao Weibin was personally waiting for Zhang Feng.

"Hello, Lord Chief."

Zhang Feng nodded, boarded the 3,000-material warship, and entered the command room of the warship, Zhang Feng heard a whistle in his ears, and then, one by one, the ships left the dock.

Not long after, the entire fleet began to form and sailed to the waters of the East China Sea, and everyone's destination was Liaodong Bay, Jinzhou Port.

A few days later.

Zhang Feng felt that the temperature was much lower, when he was in Songjiang Mansion, the second lunar month was already full of spring, and the climate was gradually warmer, but as it gradually moved north, the latitude gradually increased, and the temperature gradually decreased.

Zhao Weibin pointed to the map and personally reported the location of the fleet, "Lord Commander, we are now at this position, and we are about to enter the Bohai Sea." ”

Zhang Feng nodded: "Everyone pay attention to the sea surface situation, be careful of sea ice." ”

At this time, Zhang Feng's only worry is about sea ice, and he doesn't have to worry about this in the East China Sea, and he has not encountered sea ice in the Yellow Sea for the time being, but the Bohai Sea is different.

If it is a month later, in the third lunar month, there is almost no need to worry about this, but it is now the middle of the second lunar month, and you must watch out for sea ice.

If you encounter a large area of sea ice, especially the thick ice, it will be more troublesome and will definitely affect navigation.

Zhao Weibin nodded solemnly, obviously knowing the seriousness of the sea ice.

The fleet is mighty and has been sailing in formation, with a 3,000-material warship at the front, several 3,000-material transport ships in the middle of the fleet, and several warships behind the fleet.

When the fleet entered the Bohai Sea, it was okay at first, but gradually ice flowers were found, and sporadic thin ice began to appear on the sea.

"Look, Lord Chief."

When everyone found out about these situations, they came to the side of the ship, looked at the sea in person, and Zhang Feng said: "This is thin ice, and it will not affect the navigation for the time being." ”

It's just thin ice, and it's still sporadic thin ice, Zhang Feng is relieved a lot, after looking at the situation on the sea, Zhang Feng and the others walked into the flagship command room, Zhang Feng said: "Where have we arrived, how far is it from Jinzhou Port?" ”

Zhao Weibin took the map, pointed to the map and said: "Your Excellency, we are now in this position, there is still a day's voyage from Jinzhou Port, and we are expected to arrive at Jinzhou Port tomorrow morning." ”

Zhang Feng nodded, feeling relieved in his heart, after so many days of sailing, he was finally about to arrive at Jinzhou Port.

The 1st Infantry Brigade was only the vanguard, and then the 2nd Infantry Brigade, the 3rd Infantry Brigade, and even the Cavalry Regiment would all arrive at Jinzhou Port by boat. However, because of the voyage, a round trip of the fleet is at least ten days or more.

Even if there are more than 20 ships, if you want to transport so many people to Jinzhou, it will take at least a month before and after, sometimes, Zhang Feng often thinks that the number of transport ships is still a little too small, and there are only four transport ships of 3,000 materials now, and other warships have to play the role of transport ships.

If there are 14 3,000 material transport ships, or 24 or 34 ships, the situation is different, and a large number of people and materials can be transported at one time, and the transportation capacity is multiplied.

A day later.

The fleet successfully arrived at Jinzhou Port, just as we had learned in advance, Jinzhou Port only had a small wharf, which could only accommodate two or three ships at a time, but fortunately, the water near the wharf was relatively deep, and even if it was 3,000 warships, it would not affect the docking.

The ship is close to the wharf, Zhang Feng's heart is light, and finally arrived, the ship docked in batches, everyone disembarked in batches, the terrain around the wharf is flat, and there are basically not many buildings or houses, which provides great convenience for everyone.

Zhang Feng's flagship also docked at the dock, Zhang Feng was about to get off the ship, Zhang Feng's eyes were sharp, and he saw a large group of Ming troops coming in the distance, and they were coming towards the dock.
