In the headquarters of the Jin army left behind in Dawa, an officer was looking at the list of loot that had been collected. The simple way to deal with these things was to distribute the looting to as many soldiers and officers as possible, encouraging them to continue fighting and strive for more benefits.

Dawa is not a major town, but because it is next to Panjin, it has been affected by the looting of the Japanese army, and the county is in a mess, and even the corpses that no one cares about can be seen on the streets.

There are now about 45,000 Jin troops in the vicinity, and these troops were arranged here to prevent the Ming Empire troops stationed in Lushun and Dalian from taking the opportunity to move north. Although the pre-war analysis showed that the number of troops of the Ming Empire was small and they did not dare to rush north, the Jin State still divided a large number of troops to stifle any possibility of the Ming army turning the tables.

Before the Jin troops did not hesitate to run long distances, after breaking through the Fengtian defense line, they stormed Panjin and cut off the connection between the Ming Empire and the Liaodong Peninsula on land, and its purpose was also to prevent the Ming army from echoing each other as much as possible, and flanking the Jin troops who broke through into the Liaohe Plain.

Although the Jin troops left here are quite numerous, they are not elite. These infantry rushed to the corresponding positions along the way, but they were no longer willing to move their steps, and were only willing to retreat near the county town of Dawa, and adopted a defensive posture against the Ming army on the Liaodong Peninsula.

It is not to blame them for making this choice, first of all, Todeltay expects them to stabilize the rear occupation area, and is unwilling to let them rashly go south to provoke the defenders of the Ming Empire on the Liaodong Peninsula; On the other hand, Fushun and the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, according to the agreement between the Jin State and Japan, were to be transferred to Japan and used as garrisons.

The general of the Jin State stationed here, named Ye He Hao Zhan, he is the brother of Ye He Haolian, who claims to be the emperor of the Jin State, and is a member of the royal family of the Jin State, and can be regarded as Ye He Haolian's confidant and favorite general. Let him take heavy troops to intercept a small number of Fushun Ming troops heading north in Dawa, which can be regarded as a military merit given to this imperial relative.

At this time, Ye He Hao Zhan was leading a group of guards to inspect the newly established defensive positions around Dawa County. Although he is not as good as Todelte, he has some skills, at least it is more than enough to organize defense here. This is also the reason why the Emperor of the Jin State, Ye He Haolian, dared to send him here, and it is also the reason why he was able to lead the army to stand alone.

"You say 2,000 Japanese Army soldiers are gathering outside the city? I didn't receive the exact news that the Ming army was heading north, and they suddenly moved at this time, and it wouldn't be without reason......" Ye He Hao Zhan heard the news provided by his subordinates, and muttered with a frown.

There was a sudden movement in the Japanese battalion, which made him, the general of the Jin country, a little restless, after all, compared to Japan, which had been staring at the coastal areas of the Ming Empire for decades, their Jin country did not have such a strong penetration ability. In recent days, the news from Zhang Baiting's side is also useless, the East Factory of the Ming Empire is being strictly investigated, and the Jin Kingdom has lost its advantage in the intelligence of the Ming Empire for a while.

……

When Ye He Hao Zhan was thinking about what the Japanese were thinking, Japan was already in a mess. Because of the news that has just come from Tianjin, an important port in the north of the Ming Empire, the Ming army has been escorted by the Beihai Division of the Ming Empire, and a large number of troops have been transported to the Liaodong Peninsula.

This news made Japan a little overwhelmed, and then felt a huge pressure: the Japanese navy's combat operation for sea supremacy in the Bohai Sea was not successful, so the naval fleet of the Ming Empire still had almost absolute dominance in the Bohai Sea.

Now the Ming Empire is obviously making a fuss about this partial victory, trying to turn the tide of the war in Liaodong with a faster speed of troop delivery -- although the Japanese army mobilized earlier than the Ming Empire and moved earlier, these troops are now slowly moving north in Korea, and it is impossible for them to enter the battle faster than the Ming Empire's army, which arrived at Yingkou by boat.

"The Beihai Division of the Ming Empire must be prevented from continuing to transport troops to the Liaodong Peninsula...... If the ships of the Ming Kingdom are allowed to travel to and from Fushun, Tianjin, then what is the point of us cutting off the passage from the Liaodong Peninsula to the Ming Dynasty? The Minister of War Sato, who was far away in Japan, slapped the table and yelled at the Minister of the Navy Takehiro Oda in front of him.

His words made the face of Dongxiang Guiyi, who was sitting on the side, a little ugly, because it was precisely because there was a problem in the naval battle under his command that the situation in Liaodong had deteriorated step by step to the point where it is now. But his boss Oda Takehiro did not admit his mistake, and immediately slapped the table and replied: "The war is full of uncertainties, and the navy has not failed, so why do you accuse us?" ”

"Don't make any noise!" As the prime minister of the Japanese cabinet, Uesugi Adachi finally stopped the mutual attack between the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy, and after thinking about it, he said: "We only know that the navy of the Ming Empire protected the fleet and left the port, but we don't know where their exact location is, which is not good news. ”

He slowly walked to the map, pointed to Lushun and Dalian, and continued: "If the Ming Empire makes up for the loss of the sheep and sends troops to reinforce Lushun Dalian, it is an acceptable result, but if the Ming Kingdom wants to invest troops in the Liaodong Peninsula to counterattack, how should we deal with it?" ”

"First! I want to remind Jin Guo first, after all, we are still an alliance now, if Jin Guo is defeated, everyone here understands the truth of cold lips and teeth. He said as he held out a second finger: "Second! Dispatch the fleet, at this time it is necessary to prevent the Ming Empire from increasing troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, if they are allowed to act, the situation in Liaodong will continue to deteriorate. ”

"Yes!" Hearing the Prime Minister's command, the Minister of War and the Minister of the Navy also lost their thoughts of bickering, and stood up and replied. Dongxiang Guiyi also got up and bowed his head.

At the same time, on the position of the Jin Kingdom in the big depression, a huge cannonball swooped down from the sky and landed directly near a trench, and the black smoke from the explosion was as high as 100 meters, and the flying debris and shrapnel swept everything around, as if venting the violent power they had.

Ye He Hao Zhan looked at the black smoke rising from a kilometer away in surprise, and he didn't even know what to say for a while. He didn't know where the enemy came from, nor how many troops the other side had, and immediately after that, the sirens sounded on the position, and the heart-rending echo in the sky.
