Unlike the national celebration of the Ming Dynasty, the whole country of Houjin was shocked.

When Huang Taiji fled back to Liaoyang with some remnants of the defeated army, the whole Liaoyang was shocked.

With an army of 7,000 to exterminate more than 400 Ming troops, not only failed, but even Amin was captured alive by the enemy, are you kidding?

But the facts tell them that this is not a joke.

Huang Taiji knelt in front of ** Hachi and began to complain, and the accusation was against the dead ghost Zhao Guerrilla of Xinbao.

The enemy of Zhenjiang Fort is definitely not 400 people. Rather, it is a full 6,000 elite soldiers.

Not only did they deploy dozens of heavy artillery pieces at Zhenjiang Fort, but they also had a very powerful bow and crossbow.

This crossbow is so powerful that it can easily penetrate heavy infantry up to two hundred paces away.

In addition, they also colluded with a large number of red-haired fans.

Therefore, all of this is a trap carefully designed by Daming, deliberately set up for Houjin.

And it's definitely not that he is too incompetent!

Of course, many Houjin ministers do not believe all this.

Even if the enemy has 6,000 elite soldiers, your subordinates are not soft persimmons.

That Zhenjiang Fort is not the kind of fortified city in Liaoyang, it is just a small fort five meters high.

What's more, you are all cavalry, can't you run if you can't fight?

How could it not have been 5,000 dead and wounded, and even Amin Belle was captured alive.

As a result, some Baylor and ministers who were also ambitious for the Khan throne jumped out one after another and began to criticize Huang Taiji.

**Hachi was also furious, and almost wanted to put Huang Taiji in prison on the spot.

However, there are also many supporters of Huang Taiji, and they have pleaded hard for Huang Taiji.

So ** Hachi ordered Huang Taiji to be confined first, and then make a decision after finding out the truth of the matter.

Of course, for Amin was captured.

In fact, ** Hachi was still a little happy in private, after all, he killed his father and eldest brother, how could he not worry about Amin waiting for an opportunity to retaliate.

If he hadn't been worried that others would scold him for destroying humanity, he would have hated to kill Amin too.

Now that he has been captured by the Ming army, it is definitely a great favor for him, and he also happens to take the blue flag under his command.

Of course, these are not on the table, you can only think about it in private.

On the surface, Hachi was very angry, and he decided to personally order an army of 30,000 to go to Zhenjiang Fort to avenge his good nephew.

Although the ministers of Houjin understood Hachi's thoughts, they all pretended to be confused, and they all praised Hachi for caring for his juniors, and he really deserved to be the Mandate of Heaven Khan comparable to Yao Shun.

The mobilization of the 30,000-strong army is not a small action, and now Houjin is busy moving the capital and digesting the fruits of the Liaoyang War, so it is extremely troublesome to mobilize.

When Mao Wenlong's refugees who escaped from Liaoyang learned the news, they were almost scared.

The 7,000 army is so difficult, how can he be an opponent with an army of 30,000.

If there are reinforcements, he is confident that he will fight with the Jurchens, but the key is that there are no reinforcements.

But fortunately, Lu Yan had already mentioned this matter to him, and he also knew that the Jurchens would never give up.

So he has been preparing for a retreat lately.

Mao Wenlong initially wanted to retreat to North Korea, but Lü Yan thought that he could use his strength to let Mao Wenlong withdraw to Phi Dao in advance, so as not to be pursued and killed by the annoyed Jurchen army.

So he made a timely suggestion to retreat to Phi Dao.

Located not far from the mouth of the Yalu River, Phi Island is the largest island in the vicinity.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing only one side of the sea, it is an ideal base for easy defense and difficult to attack.

Moreover, it is connected to Korea in the east, can receive all kinds of materials from Shandong in the south, and can sneak attack the Jurchens along the coast from the coast in the west, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so it is a very ideal place to garrison.

After Mao Wenlong sent people to observe, it was as Lu Yan said, so he kept transporting all kinds of seized materials to Phi Island.

Lu Yan also removed all the artillery on the head of the city and reinstalled it on the Revenge.

After learning that the Jurchens would send an army of 30,000 to attack, Mao Wenlong immediately retreated to Phi Island with him.

Moreover, he withdrew all the supplies to Phi Dao, and even demolished some houses, leaving almost an empty city for the Jurchens.

However, Lu Yan didn't want to stay on the same island as Mao Wenlong, he had already planned to stand on his own.

So he asked Xue Rengui and Xiang Yu to submit a request to be stationed on Shicheng Island and Changshan Island to reconnoiter the movements of the Jurchens.

After Mao Wenlong stayed for a while, but saw that Xue Rengui and they insisted on leaving, so he agreed to their request.

*****

*****

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, January has passed.

The reward of the imperial court came very quickly this time, and it came directly from Denglai, and he was very happy to be promoted to Lu Yan.

After all, he was just a civilian in his previous life, and he had never been a big official, but he didn't expect to be a garrison.

Xiang Yu and the others were indifferent, Xiang Yu almost became the emperor in his previous life, and Xue Rengui was also the prince of Pingyang County, so of course such a sesame-sized official would not be taken seriously.

However, almost all the people were scolding the silver taels issued, and after the officials peeled them layer by layer, the 20,000 taels of silver were only a little more than 10,000 taels when they arrived in Mao Wenlong's hands.

Now Mao Wenlong and Lu Yan's subordinates add up to a total of nearly 3,000 people.

Even if those generals and soldiers are treated the same, one person can only get three taels of silver, which is too far from the forty taels per head promised by the imperial court.

This is not counting the salary of the soldiers, the silver owed by the court is too much, and almost all of them are full of resentment.

Each of them has something to eat and drink.

Seeing this, Lu Yan was also deeply dissatisfied.

In fact, he was faced with a much worse situation than that, and in addition to the lack of money, they did not have much food.

In the past, they did have some seizures, but recently Mao Wenlong has recruited soldiers among those Liaodong refugees and distributed a large amount of food.

There were not many assigned to Xue Rengui and Xiang Yu, and the soldiers under Lu Yan also suddenly increased dramatically.

It's not that Lu Yan didn't consider the food problem, but he had to do it as a last resort.

When he arrived at Changshan Island, he found that this beautiful island had become a hell.

Almost all the houses were burned, and the islanders were slaughtered.

Later, after many inquiries, he learned that a group of Ming troops were chased and killed by the Jurchens and fled from the other side to Changshan Island.

But the Jurchens did not intend to let go of this group of Ming troops, they found a large number of fishing boats, and then took these fishing boats to kill Changshan Island, slaughtering the islanders of Changshan Island and the Ming army.

Originally, Lu Yan did not plan to develop the navy for the time being, but after discovering this situation, he had to put the development of the navy on the agenda.

The lesson of the car ahead was at his feet, and he didn't want to be suddenly touched by the Jurchens on the island and cut off his head.

So Lu Yan's men had three more Western giant ships.

They are the Sea Sovereign, a displacement of 1,600 tons, a three-deck battleship with 104 guns.

One of the most powerful warships of the 17th century, known as the "golden ghost" by the Dutch, and later became the battleship of King Charles I of England, but because of its slow speed, it rarely participated in battles, and was later burned by a candle.

It is an epoch-making battleship.

HMS Royal Charles, with a displacement of more than 1,300 tons, is a three-deck battleship with more than 80 guns.

"Triumph" with a displacement of 766 tons and 46 artillery pieces.

Except for the Triumph, which was equipped with a crew, the other two ships were Ming Dynasty sailors recruited by Lü Yan.

Among them were both experienced sailors in Zheng He's fleet and gunners of Ming Dynasty sailors.

Now Lu Yan has mixed them and asked those British sailors to teach them to familiarize themselves with Western warships as soon as possible, and he believes that those sailors will soon be able to form combat effectiveness.

However, in this way, his combat exploits have also been reduced from more than 24,000 to more than 6,000.

Of course, his subordinates have also increased again, with a total of more than 3,000 subordinates.

In addition, he has about 2,000 war horses in his hands, all of which are pot-bellied men, and one eats more than three strong men.

Especially the war horses ridden by the Xuanjia Spirit, they are not those Mongolian horses, they only need to eat forage.

They need ** materials, and even food, otherwise those war horses will lose weight.

Lü Yan found himself facing a serious financial crisis, and if he continued like this, perhaps he would have to go to North Korea to beg for food.

After much deliberation, he felt that his plans had to be changed in a big way.

If he continues to stay in Liaodong, then his army will always face a shortage of clothes and clothing.

The Dongjiang Army in the previous life has always been very poor, forcing Mao Wenlong's subordinates to go to North Korea to beg for food.

Even because of food, their lifeblood has always been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Yuan Chonghuan asked the grain ship going to the Dongjiang River to be delivered to Liaodong, Mao Wenlong immediately knelt down for Yuan Chonghuan.

In a hurry, he ran to Ningyuan to admit defeat to Yuan Chonghuan, even so, so I don't know how many Liaodong refugees starved to death.

Lu Yan didn't want to run into Mao Wenlong's situation, but he had already planned to rebel.

Therefore he had to have a grain production area to meet the needs of the army.

In the current situation, it is very difficult to get grain production areas.

Don't think about North Korea, if it occupies it, it will definitely cause diplomatic disputes.

If it is Liaodong, it will definitely collide with the Jurchens.

Even if it is a collision, he is not afraid, but there is still a Mao Wenlong above him.

Even if he occupies the territory of Liaodong, that place will not necessarily be in his hands.

It must be Mao Wenlong who has the lion's share, and he can only divide a small piece at most.

In addition, a large number of Liaodong refugees will be influxed, and these Liaodong refugees will also completely impoverish.

In addition, it was the Xiaoice River period recently, and there were many disasters and famines in Liaodong, and the Jurchens would not let him develop agriculture.

Therefore, Lu Yan felt that his plan had to be changed drastically.

After thinking about it, Lu Yan finally convened the first internal all-military meeting.

Overlord Xiang Yu, Xue Rengui, Gan Cheng, Feiwei, Ji Chang, Meng Kuo, Sima Nan, Mo Rigen and others all attended.

Before Lu Yan arrived, the atmosphere in the hall was quite lively.

The people here are all heroes for a while, and many people have admired each other's reputation for a long time, so many of them have competed in private, and they also admire each other's martial arts.

Especially the overlord Xiang Yu, with his unique charm and superb martial arts, he has become the leading brother of these people, sitting at the top of Lu Yan.

After seeing Lu Yan coming, the hall slowly quieted down.

But instead of looking at Lu Yan, they looked at the two people who were following Lu Yan.

Lu Yan motioned for them to sit down, and then introduced them to the two people who followed him.

"This is General Gao Shun of the Three Kingdoms, the commander of the trapped camp, everyone must know who he is."

Gao Shun, a general in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was innocent and majestic, not good at drinking, and the elite troops under his command were very elite, known as the "trapped camp". repeatedly expressed his loyalty to Lu Bu, although Lu Bu knew his loyalty, he did not use it.

Lu Yan was very sorry for Gao Shun's ending, so this time Lu Yan specially recruited him, hoping that he could shine at the end of the Ming Dynasty and train a trap camp for him again.

Xiang Yu's eyes flashed, and he didn't say anything.

Xue Rengui showed a look of surprise, and hurriedly said: "It turned out to be General Gao Shun, I really admired him for a long time." ”

The crowd hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Gao Shun also smiled in return.

"This is General Wu Weizhong."

Wu Weizhong was once a member of the Qi army, after Qi Jiguang passed away, he trained his own Qi army according to the training methods of the Qi army, and later shined in the Wanli War of Resistance against Japan and Aid Korea.

The reason why Lu Yan let him come out was that he hoped that while he was commanding the 100 Qi family armsmen, he would train a Qi family army again.

After all, it's the ** era, and he needs a unit of musketeers.

Compared with Gao Shun's prestige, Wu Weizhong is relatively much less famous, and many people have never even heard of his name.

However, everyone still stepped forward to salute one by one, and they believed that the one who could be valued by Lu Yan was definitely not an unknown person.

So after everyone sat down, the meeting finally got to the point.

Thank you very much for the tips from the cool man and the book friend 120420202657356.
