Yue Tuo, who led the troops into the city, finally breathed a sigh of relief, before coming to attack Lushun, he did not expect that the Ming army would be so strong, almost to the last soldier, giving the Houjin people huge casualties, Yue Tuo brought 10,000 horses and more than 4,000 people were consumed in the cruel siege battle.

Yue Tuo's heart of the beast had nowhere to vent, so he gave the Houjin people who attacked the city a three-day vacation, the holiday is the Houjin people's more Sven statement, in fact, during these three days, the behavior of the Houjin soldiers is not subject to any constraints, and they will not be held accountable afterwards, a group of beasts with absolute force that have just returned from the brink of death without any restraint have been released, and they will enter a conquered city, what consequences will be imagined.

Burning, killing, looting took place in every corner of the city at the same time.

Three days have passed, and the act of burning and killing has decreased, which is not because the beastly nature of the Houjin people has weakened, but that there is really no one to kill in Lushun City, and Huang Taiji has ordered before that Lushun City cannot be completely destroyed, and the Houjin people still have to garrison there. This was a major change in the battle strategy of Huang Taiji, they did not occupy a city and loot it as before, but sent people to stay in Lushun, and they wanted to hold this strategic point.

A few days after the Houjin people occupied Lushun, several small warships appeared on the sea outside Lushun City, saw the Houjin flag fluttering at the head of Lushun City, and then turned the rudder and sailed towards the open sea.

On the boat were Zhang Chu, Wang Chengen and some security soldiers.

Zhang Chu and Wang Chengen both stood at the bow of the boat and were silent, it seemed that they were late, Lushun had fallen into the hands of the Houjin people, and Huanglong must have been more than lucky.

Zhang Chu only learned that Lushun had been attacked by the Houjin people when the news came from a supply ship from Shandong, and he immediately ordered the security forces in Liaodong to board the supply ship and set off for Lushun to reinforce Huanglong.

Zhang Chu received the news too late, when he arrived, Lushun had fallen for many days, Zhang Chu's ships were mainly small ships to transport supplies, the combat effectiveness was not strong, and the security army in Liaodong was only 2,000 people, and they had no good way to face the strong city walls and red-coated cannons in Lushun City.

Zhang Meng had no choice but to order the fleet to evacuate and return to Shandong to find a way to counter the attack of the Houjin people.

Zhang Chu returned to Shandong and saw Xie Lian, who was like an ant on a hot pot.

Xie Lian had already received Huanglong's request for help, he had the obligation to rescue Lushun as the governor of Denglai, but now he was at a loss, after Kong Youde's rebellion, most of Denglai's army defected to the rebels, and the rest experienced the defense of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and there were few soldiers for the rest of the war after the war, only Zhang Chu's security army had real combat effectiveness, and at this time Zhang Chu took the main force of the security army to attack the Houjin people in Liaodong, and what was even worse was that Kong Youde abducted all the sailors in Dengzhou during the rebellion, Even Tianjin's sailors were captured by Kong Youde, Xie Lianzuo asked the emperor to rebuild the Dengzhou sailors, and the emperor only provided some supplies, but did not give much money and food, and the construction in Dengzhou was all small transport ships, and it was very difficult for Jin's brigade to attack Houjin by sea.

Xie Lian knew that his strength was not enough, on the one hand, he actively prepared, and transmitted the news to Zhang Chu in Liaodong through the transport ship, and at the same time forwarded Huanglong's rescue letter to the emperor, hoping that the emperor could coordinate all parties and send reinforcements to rescue Lushun.

Huang Long is still too naïve, and what will happen to the court will definitely become very complicated.

Huang Long was originally born from the grassroots, and he had no foundation, and most of the troops he led were also the remnants of Mao Wenlong, and there would be no heartache when he died. Therefore, all forces are reluctant to send their own generals to rescue, and the ministers blame each other at the time of the court meeting, and they all want to lead the disaster to others, and no one is worried about the fall of Daming City.

Emperor Chongzhen himself did not dare to directly order the sending of reinforcements, because if the reinforcements were defeated, the responsibility for the failure could only be borne by the emperor himself.

The ministers in the Ming court have figured out the emperor's temper through the past few years, and know that the emperor is indecisive and likes to blame others. No one wants to be the wronged leader. One by one, they talked about it in the court, but they didn't talk about the substance, and after more than ten days, they couldn't come up with a result. In the end, it was the Houjin people who solved this problem for Emperor Chongzhen, and they captured Lushun City, and there was no need for rescue. When the news of the fall of Lushun came, the ministers of the DPRK and China were silent again, the situation in Liaodong deteriorated further, what should the imperial court do, and what should the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians on the Donghe Islands do in the future, no one opened their mouths to make suggestions, and the ministers were speculating about Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts, and when the emperor showed his tone, he would follow the emperor's thoughts, so that he would definitely not guess wrong.

Emperor Chongzhen was even more reluctant to speak first, and after several changes in the strategy of Liaodong, the ministers of the overseer army alone killed several of them, and if they failed again, they could not hold the emperor accountable. Therefore, in the imperial court, Emperor Chongzhen and his ministers held meaningless court meetings every day, allowing the days to pass day by day.

Compared with the monarchs and ministers above the court, Zhang Chu and Xie Lian in Shandong had a very clear attitude, they must recapture Lushun City, and only in this way can they effectively contain Houjin.

But Zhang Chu and they wanted to counterattack Lushun, but it was also difficult, Zhang Chu asked the staff officers to do a deduction, if they want to recover Lushun City, they need at least 20,000 horses, and they must have the support of large warships and artillery fire. Such an operation would require a large amount of materials, grain and grass, and if Zhang Chu relied on his own strength to do it, it would be more than worth the loss, and the staff officers were inclined to cancel the operation.

Zhang Chu was also a little hesitant because of this, thinking about how to act to have the best effect.

Wang Chengen was helpless beside Zhang Chu, his idea was very simple, the Houjin people would definitely take it back if they occupied the place of Daming, but he didn't have a clue how to get it back.

"Does the emperor still have money?" Zhang Chu, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said something to Wang Chengen.

"The emperor is rich, how can he have no money." When it comes to the emperor, Wang Chengen habitually wants to maintain the dignity of the royal family.

"What I'm asking is if the emperor can come up with money to fight the war." Zhang Chu didn't want to listen to Wang Chengen boasting about the emperor, so he asked directly.

"It should be very difficult for the emperor to take money out to fight, and the ministers of the household department are very difficult to speak." Wang Chengenjiu was still very clear about the affairs of the court in the palace, and it was difficult for the emperor to do things without the consent of the ministers.

"Didn't you say that Emperor Chongzhen still had any internal currency? If you can come up with a million taels of silver to recover Lushun, it is also possible. "Zhang Chu has heard many legends of Emperor Chongzhen's internal currency, I don't know if it's true or not, if Chongzhen really has money in his hands, and people don't spend it when they don't have money, it's really stupid.

"There must be money in the emperor's currency, but it is not so easy to get the emperor to come up with the money. The emperor has always been very stingy in matters of silver. Speaking of the emperor's attitude towards silver, Wang Chengen accidentally said that he went away and made disrespectful remarks to the emperor, and when he finished speaking, he closed his mouth when he felt wrong, and he was very uneasy in his heart.
