"Could it be? Could it be that Kong Youde wants to cast tartar? Wang Xiaoyu exclaimed

Yang Bo nodded and asked: "If Kong Youde is a Tartar, it is a shortcut to take Lushun, Xiao Yu, how many soldiers and horses are stationed in Lushun now?" ”

Wang Xiaoyu and the staff officers muttered for a while, and replied: "Since Kong Youde took Dengzhou, Lushun deputy general Chen Shishi, Guangludao deputy general Mao Chenglu and others have raised troops to respond, Shang Kexi was ordered to defeat Kong Youde's henchman Gao Chengyou, who occupied Lushun, that is, moved the army to its place, and then moved to Guanglu Island, and now the Dongjiang general army Huanglong moved to Lushun, with about 30,000 troops. ”

"Shang Kexi?" Yang Bo was surprised

"Yes, Shang Kexi is a powerful general under Huanglong, who made great contributions to pacifying the Dongjiang River and made great contributions, and was promoted to deputy general of Kashima," Wang Xiaoyu replied.

Yang Bo was a little confused, he remembered that this Shang Kexi was also a famous Han annihilation, why didn't it seem to match his memory now?

"Hirokashima!"

Yang Bo picked up a charcoal pen and remarked it on Guanglu Island.

"My lord, if you take advantage of Kong Youde's attack on Lushun, your lord will lead a military horse to attack before and after, and you will succeed in the battle!" Another staff officer saw Yang Bo's brows furrowed, and boldly suggested.

"Huh?"

Yang Bo looked back and encouraged, "Your name is Liu Bingwen, right?" Your idea is very good, the staff officer must have an idea" Seeing the adults praising himself, Liu Bingwen was overjoyed

"However, the staff officer also has to consider the advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, various factors in the war, etc., and it is necessary to consider it holistically, for example, it seems very good to flank Lushun, but if there are fewer soldiers and horses, at least more than 10,000 people, right? With the addition of equipment, grain, grass, horses, etc., how many ships do you need? ”

Liu Bingwen's face was flushed, and he muttered: "In addition to the remaining warships on the Dongjiang River, I also counted the little lady's boats. ”

Yang Bo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then laughed, and patted Liu Bingwen on the shoulder to show encouragement, "The little lady only has more than 20 boats in her hands, and they are all small boats, if the imperial court can't put more than 10,000 officers and troops to land at one time, it is a tactic to add fuel and lose people and horses in vain, this plan is definitely not feasible." ”

In the late Ming Dynasty, the Jianzhou Jurchens rose in the northeast. After the first year of the Apocalypse Lao Nu captured Shenyang, he quickly controlled most of the northeast, and in March of the same year, he captured Haizhou and Gaizhou.

In order to deal with the aggressive situation of the old slave, the Ming Dynasty adopted the suggestion of Xiong Tingbi, the right attendant of the military department, to implement joint defense by sea and land.

The so-called "tripartite arrangement" means that the commander of the Economic Strategy was appointed to garrison Shanhaiguan to control Guangning (controlling western Liaoning), Tianjin (Gongweijin and Beijing), and Denglai (guarding the northern coast of Shandong), and strategically defending the infantry, cavalry, and naval divisions.

Focusing on Quang Ninh (Beizhen), the three armies of Mabu were assembled to prevent Jiannu from advancing westward; In Tianjin and Denglai, ships and sailors were set up to control the northern coasts of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, to contain the enemy from the flank, and then cooperate by land and water to counterattack Jiannu and recover the lost territory of the courtyard. In this defense system, the relay ports of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Jinmen, which surround the Bohai Bay, are Lushunkou.

The strategic location of Arthur Pass is: Denglai Haiphong in the south, Beijing-Tianjin gateway in the west, foreign aid to North Korea in the east, and Houjin in the north and south. For the Ming Dynasty, guarding Lushunkou was related to the rise and fall of the imperial court; For the Houjin, the capture of Lushunkou can relieve the worries of the army entering the customs to conquer the Central Plains. This special strategic position of Lushunkou determines that it is a strategic point that is bound to be fought for in the Ming and Later Dynasties.

Hearing that Huanglong moved to Lushun and stationed 30,000 soldiers, Yang Bo relieved his heart slightly, Lushun seemed to be impossible to touch in a short time, but he didn't give up, he needed it

Waiting for a good time, thinking of this, Yang Bo asked the staff department to summarize the battles on Lushun over the years for him to see.

Two days later, the Chief of Staff handed in a report.

Not only he Yang Bo knows the important surname of Lushun, since the first year of the Apocalypse to attack Jinzhou, Jiannu has not given up the effort to capture Lushun, after the fall of Liaoyang, Liaodong through the strategy of Yuan Yingtai, governor Zhang Quan and so on died in battle, the guerrilla Mao Wenlong retreated to Lushun, and then crossed the sea to base Phi Island, recruited Liao people, and reclaimed the land as a stronghold to resist Houjin and recover the lost land. In July of the same year, Mao Wenlong conquered Zhenjiang, which was under the jurisdiction of Houjin, and captured his chief general Tong Yangzhen, connecting Zhenjiang with the coastal area of Lushun.

The old slave felt deeply threatened, sent troops to attack Jinzhou, Lushun, and recaptured Zhenjiang, in September, Mao Wenlong sent to garrison Zhangpan, with more than 30 strong soldiers, night attack on Jinzhou, Jiannu was caught off guard, the big rout, Zhangpan received Jinzhou and Lushun.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, Zhang Pan took the initiative to lead the army to the north to attack Jiannu, all the way to conquer Fuzhou, Yongning, etc., because the lone army went deep, Jiannu counterattacked, Zhang Pan failed to hold Yongning and other forts, retreated to Lushun, the following year, Jiannu set 10,000 cavalry to attack Lushun, could not go down, sent an envoy to surrender Zhang Pan, Zhang Pan beheaded the envoy, and attacked Jiannu in the north and south mountains, Jiannu collapsed.

Apocalypse five years, the Ming Dynasty sent 10,000 troops to cross the sea, ready to repair the city defense of Lushun, and stationed down, due to the internal annihilation leakage, the old slave rushed to attack Lushun before the Ming army crossed the sea, the defenders were outnumbered, Zhang Pan and the general Zhu Guochang died, although the old slave occupied Lushun, but because Mao Wenlong was stationed on Phi Island, he could attack its flank at any time, so the old slave "annihilated the Ming soldiers, destroyed its city", led the troops to retreat, and then Denglai Governor Wu Zhiwang rebuilt the city defense of Lushun so far.

Seeing this, Yang Bo sighed in his heart, Dongjiang opened the town for eight years, has been like a stepmother, eight years of the imperial court allocated a total of 1,280,000 true colors, 1,410,300 colors, the same 150,000 Guan Ningjun annual salary is 4.8 million, Mao Wenlong for the food and salary several times, words almost begging, and even said that as long as it is allocated, he will lead the troops and Jiannu desperately, but unfortunately his dredging stone sank into the sea, eight months after the Dongjiang salary was cut off, Mao Wenlong went to Shuangdao to make trouble, and died of hatred.

The "injustice of the world" in the history of the Ming Dynasty and the "life of Yuan Chonghuan" of the people of Beijing are in huge contrast, killing the general Mao Wenlong, not saving North Korea, and scattering Mongolia with the main money, Yuan Chonghuan is guilty of all the crimes, and finally the Ming Dynasty fell into a desperate situation from which it will never recover.

On 4 February, Yang Bo transferred 50 men from the arquebus battalion to Jimo to prepare to attack the horse bandits entrenched in the Laoshan area.

The Laoshan Mountain in the south of Jimo has beautiful scenery and lush vegetation, and there is a group of more than 300 horse bandits who occupy the mountains and camp here, plundering the past. Yang Bo chose to use them to open the knife, because there were nearly eighty horses in the hands of the horse bandits, and it happened that Jimo Ying also needed to find a soft persimmon to practice.

These horse bandits were just ordinary military households at the beginning, because they couldn't bear to peel off the grass and become a coward, and later there were defeated soldiers who fled from the Dongjiang River one after another, and even the remnants of the Wenxiang Sect combined with each other, and the momentum was greatly boosted. Especially when the green and yellow are not connected, it is a good time for horse bandits to rob, and horse bandits come and go like the wind,

The local Aoshan Weifu Mountain Front Station killed two hundred households in the battle, broke countless families, and did not even catch a single hair of the horse bandits.

On 8 February, the Jimo battalion took the criminal military camp as the forerunner, and traveled more than 120 miles in one day, directly attacking the Laoshan horse bandits' lair, beheading more than 150 ranks, seizing more than 50 horses, most of the horse bandits were annihilated, and only more than 30 horsemen broke out of the encirclement and fled in the wilderness. Because the Jimo battalion was facing fierce horse bandits for the first time, more than 20 people were folded, and the camp was full of prisoners after replenishing the prisoners.

Two days later, Yang Bo received the news from He Jiu, and the latest news was transmitted back from the intelligence point set up in Beijing, and overnight, the streets and alleys of Jingshi were suddenly full of leaflets, which were written about Zhou Yanru's corruption and perversion of the law, collusion with the news of Shaanxi Jukou Shenyikui, the people of Beijing discussed a lot, the court panicked, Zhou Yanru said that he was sick, closed the door, Chongzhen was furious, and ordered a thorough investigation.

Yang Bo was overjoyed when he heard the news, Wen Tiren had endured it for so long and finally made a move, which indicated that Zhou Yanru was finally going to fall......
