On the training ground of the Zhenshan Battalion, more than 25,000 soldiers lined up according to their respective affiliations. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking down from the point platform, the flags of each battalion head fluttered head-on under the mountain wind, hulala fluttered head-on, and below the flags was a sea of red with a neat lineup, and the array of swords and guns showed an extraordinary might.

On the platform, the military commanders of the first bureau of the eighth battalion of Huluyan were arranged in the middle positions in turn, waiting for the appointment of the commander Feng Jian.

Feng Jian presented everyone with the seal letter waist plate and the military flag of each battalion, and accepted the oath of allegiance from the chief of the eighth battalion and the first director, and then the battalion officers of each battalion would display the military flag awarded by the commander in public, which attracted the cheers of the soldiers in the audience.

On August 13, the fifth year of Chongzhen, according to the suggestion of the Huluyan General Staff Battalion, Feng Jian ordered the redeployment of the newly established Huluyan army.

The whole army will be divided into two military forces, one of which will be the entire Zhenshan Battalion, the two Shenji Battalions, and the first Flying Cavalry Battalion will still be stationed in Pingdu to train and run in with the newly formed combat battalions and strive to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.

The other is composed of all the teaching battalions, one Shenji battalion, one flying cavalry battalion, one chariot battalion, and one artillery battalion of the Huluyan Liaonan Army Corps to move to Lushun, the corps is a temporary establishment, the corps commander is Fan Li, the commander of the training battalion, and the supervisor is Chen Lao, the former supervisor of the 1,000th headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion.

With nearly 100,000 refugees now pouring in to Lushun, who are going to cultivate land there, this will be another focus of Huluyan's military defense.

In addition, Feng Jian ordered the Military Intelligence Bureau to immediately and gradually start the work of collecting intelligence and drawing topographic maps along the line from Ganghwa Island to Pyongsan and Gangdu in North Korea, so as to make early preparations for future military operations.

According to Feng Jian's instructions. Zhao Shougang led the newly formed departments of the General Staff Battalion after half a month of deduction. Finally, a detailed battle plan for Liaodong was made.

This battle plan was quickly approved by Feng Jian, and then the wheels of Huluyan's army's foreign war rumbled!

After the Autumn Festival. Feng Jian led 200 soldiers of the Guards Battalion to Lushun by boat, and the first group of 800 cavalry of the Flying Cavalry Battalion was to accompany them, while the main soldiers of the Liaonan Corps were to go to Lushun with the next batch of naval warships.

If you want to gain a firm foothold in southern Liaoning, Lushun is the key, the small Lushun mouth, in just two or three months, gathered nearly 10,000 people, it is difficult not to attract the attention of the Eight Banners stationed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

At this time, Huluyan suddenly increased troops to Lushunkou, which would only make the Jiannu Eight Banners stationed in the four guards of southern Liaoning more vigilant, and the Huluyan vanguard troops arrived in Lushun. The two sides provoked and tested each other, and small-scale battles were inevitable, and the first batch of 800 cavalry of the flying cavalry battalion that followed Feng Jian north to Lushun shouldered the task of fighting with Jiannu on a small scale.

Now Lushun only has Chen Shi's 1,000 defenders and Liu Zongxi's 500 Zhenshan battalion soldiers, these troops can be safed from guarding the city, but they are a little powerless to protect the people from the harassment of the Jiannu Eight Banners.

The overall strategy of increasing troops in Lushun was to prepare to use two to three years to consolidate Lushun and its surroundings and drive the Jiannu Eight Banners out of southern Liaoning. And then the first line of Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou, and Gaizhou will be returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Using a large area of ownerless fields here to establish a mutual aid association, organizing a large number of fleeing people to reclaim the wasteland and cultivate the land, and finally operating this place into the second large granary of Huluyan, Feng Jian has begun to plan and prepare for a general battle with Jiannu in southern Liaoning.

The Huluyan Liaonan Army is a mixed army. There are 8,500 soldiers, and when combined with the army of Lushun Chen and Liu Zongxi, the strength will reach more than 10,000. Coupled with the nearly 100,000 people in the city who are waiting to be fed, the daily food needs in Lushun City are amazing.

Huluyan though stored grain is abundant. But logistics are a big problem! How to transfer grain to Lushun in a timely and sufficient manner is indeed a big problem.

Although Feng Jian had a large number of warships in the Fushan fleet, some of the warships of the Fushan fleet were also tasked with inspecting and inspecting the rebels of Kong Youde in Dengzhou. The rest of the warships were responsible for transporting the soldiers of the Liaonan Army, and only a few warships could be set aside to transport food and supplies.

In order to ensure the sufficient food supply in Lushun, after several consultations, Feng Jian ordered to lease civilian ships transporting goods to and from Pingdu and Lushun on the Jiaolai River to transport grain and grass, and hundreds of cargo trading ships joined in, and finally solved the food crisis in Lushun.

According to the general staff battalion's prediction, Lushun's small projectile will definitely not be able to station no less than 10,000 soldiers of the Liaonan Army, and the soldiers of the Liaonan Army will soon be detected by the Jiannu sentinel when they land in Lushun, so the landing soldiers must launch a surprise attack on the Jiannu in Liaonan to establish a new foothold.

According to the battle plan made by the staff battalion, after the arrival of the Liaonan Army, it quickly launched a surprise attack on Jinzhou, which is 120 miles north of Lushun, quickly captured Jinzhou, and rebuilt the city of Jinzhou.

If Jinzhou is difficult to conquer for a while, and Fuzhou and Gaizhou Jiannu come to reinforce them, the Liaonan Army will counterattack on the spot, and the officers and men of the Fushan Fleet will land on Sanling Mountain on the southeast coast of Fuzhou along the coastal road to attack Fuzhou City, forcing the reinforcements of Fuzhou and Gaizhou to withdraw.

Because most of the Jiannu troops were transferred by Huang Taiji to besiege Dalinghe City, at this time the Jiannu troops stationed in the South Four Guards were not many, and the loss of Fuzhou and Gaizhou reinforcements, it was difficult for a small number of Jiannu Eight Banners to guard Jinzhou to resist the attack of the Liaonan Army, and it was expected to conquer Jinzhou City.

On August 20, the fifth year of Chongzhen, the humble port wharf of Lushunkou ushered in a detachment of ten warships of the Fushan fleet.

Feng Jian stood on the bow of the No. 1 Dafu ship and stared at the small city of Lushun, which was built in Yongle in the tenth year of Yongle, and was built by Xu Gang and the officers and soldiers stationed in the southern Liaonan Guard, and divided the city into the south and the north according to the situation at that time.

The two cities are two miles apart, relying on each other, and can be defended, in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the northern city of Lushun was completely destroyed by the Eight Banners led by Jiannu Sanbeile Mang Gurtai.

Later, Mao Long, the chief soldier of Dongjiang Town, sent troops to reoccupy Lushun, but it was only used as a supply point for the imperial warships to transport food and materials back and forth, and the north city of Lushun has not been rebuilt, and it was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that the city of Lushun was rebuilt with bricks and stones.

And in front of Feng Jian is the re-rested Lushun South City, the circumference of the city is one and a half miles, the height of the city wall is one zhang and five feet, it is completely built by the mountain stone barrier collected by Xiguan Mountain one mile away, outside the city wall is a ditch three zhang wide and one zhang deep, the ditch is filled with sea water, there are only two city gates in the north and south for entry and exit in the city, and two hundred steps outside the city is the port wharf.

At this time, many people on the wharf came and went to carry the grain and materials unloaded on the cargo ships of the wharf, and the people who loaded and unloaded the grain and materials did not have much curiosity when they saw the ten warships docking, obviously they had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and from time to time there were groups of soldiers on the wharf on guard and patrol, and from time to time loudly shouted and scolded those who took the opportunity to steal and play tricks, and the whip in their hands "snapped".

At the dock of the No. 1 Dafu ship, there were several generals in bright armor, and Feng Jian recognized at a glance that these people had defected to him, such as Chen Shishi, the deputy general of Lushun, Liu Zongxi, the commander of the Zhenshan battalion, and Yan Gui, the general of the Fushan fleet.

The warship set up a springboard, Feng Jian stepped off the warship first, the sea was bumpy for several days, and as soon as his feet stepped on land, he suddenly felt a sense of steadiness.

Chen Shiji, Liu Zongxi, and Yan Gui were already waiting next to the springboard, and when they saw Chen Shi, they were always ready to kneel down to salute Feng Jian, and when they saw Liu Zongxi and Yan Gui, they were already standing with their feet together, their right hands clenched into fists and their chests, and their eyes were excited to salute Feng Jian.

Chen sometimes reacted, and hurriedly raised his hand to salute Feng Jian in a hurry, and the whole person's movements looked very awkward.

Feng Jian returned the military salute casually and said with a smile: "Several generals guarding Lushun are really hard!" ”

Chen sometimes hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "What did the lord say, in the past two months, it has been the most comfortable day for the last general and his subordinate generals, there will be no shortage of food and clothing, and there is enough food and salary, this day is simply a world of difference compared with a few months ago, and the last general can't lead his soldiers out of the city to kill a few Tartar soldiers, in order to repay the grace of your acquaintance." ”

Feng Jian could understand Chen's mood, and said with a smile: "There is an opportunity to kill the Tartars, and this official is leading the army to fight a battle with the Jiannu of Liaonan and drive the Jiannu out of Liaonan completely." ”

Chen Shi, Liu Zongxi, and Yan Gui showed excitement on their faces at the same time, they were ordered to garrison Lushun, and often saw the Tartar cavalry rampant under the city of Lushun, slaughtering the surviving people outside the city, but they were unable to go out of the city to fight because of the military order, and they had long hated the Tartar soldiers.

Liu Zongxi became excited, and his voice became more feminine: "There is a chance to kill the Tartars, none of the subordinates and the brothers of the Zhenshan Battalion will retreat, and the commander of the army will not forget us." ”

Feng Jian said with a smile: "Regarding the strategy of southern Liaoning, the general staff camp has a detailed plan, and all my Huluyan soldiers have the opportunity to go into battle to kill the enemy, so don't worry." ”
