The next day, Emperor Chongzhen received that Zong Yuanfang personally led the troops and horses to prepare to flank Jinzhou, in order to relieve the siege of Lushun, he had to worry for a while, and convened the ministers to discuss but it was not the point, although in the end Emperor Chongzhen still agreed, and his heart inevitably began to worry again, fortunately, only one day later, Zong Yuanfang's Jinzhou Great Victory Tang Report was placed in front of the imperial case again......

In this way, Yan Kunzhi and Zong Yuanfang had an urgent report a day, which attracted all the eyes of the imperial court, and for a while, the name of the Jimo camp spread all over Beijing, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for the Lushun thieves and slaves to retreat with bated breath, and this time the battle of Lushun was considered to be a perfect ending.

And Zong Yuanfang also said that after Lushun broke the siege, he would personally sacrifice the prisoners, and everyone in the court was clear-hearted, and it would not be wrong for the Jimo Battalion to behead the battle, and the only thing that needed to be checked was nothing more than how much was finally captured, and how much was the difference between it and the report documents.

Yang Bo also knew a little about Yan Kunzhi's arrangements, and after the Lushun slaves and thieves retreated, Yan Kunzhi and Zong Yuanfang estimated that there would be a tripartite balance at the meeting, and if it was feasible, it was estimated that some profits could be transferred from the Liao salary to Denglai, and Dengzhou's status would be re-valued by the imperial court, which was also what Yang Bo was worried about.

He is now most concerned about the issue of promotion, the imperial court moved quickly, July 10, Dongjiang General Huang Long was posthumously awarded by Emperor Chongzhen: "Give the dragon to the left governor, give the funeral, to the world", and "build the ancestral hall said to show loyalty, its subordinates Shang Keyi, Zhang Dalu and other postscripts"

The rewards of other people will have to wait for Yan Kunzhi and Zong Yuanfang to discuss before they will be reported to the imperial court for merit, and this will have to wait for the Tartars to withdraw first......

Yang Bo stared at the Tartar camp under the city wall, these two outposts are much less, even the camp is half empty, it is estimated that the slave chief is divided into a military horse to go to Jinzhou to investigate the battle situation, he is not worried about the problem of the Tartar retreat, but he is thinking in his heart, once the Tartar retreats, the court will be rewarded one after another, how can he maximize his interests, don't work hard to make a wedding dress for others.

The most important thing is to persuade the imperial court to put the important surname of Lushun above the Dongjiang River, with Lushun as the head and the Dongjiang River as the auxiliary, if Lushun is lost according to the original trend of history, the imperial court may understand the status of Lushun's important surname, and now Yan Kunzhi is afraid that he will have to spend more words.

After the bloody battle, the Jimo battalion's entry into Lushun was already ironclad, and the soldiers and horses from other places may not dare to take over this territory facing the Tartars, but now there are too many stones above the head of the Jimo battalion, and a few need to be removed, and the first to bear the brunt is Chen Hongfan, the chief soldier of Denglai.

Anyone can sit in the position of Denglai's general soldiers, Zhou Guangbi, Li Weiluan, and even Shang Kexi, but Chen Hongfan is definitely not good, Chen Hongfan is from Liaodong, it doesn't matter, the biggest problem is that he is too close to Guanning Junma, which is what Dengzhou's high-level leaders don't want to see.

Yang Bo even imagined that after making so many contributions, is it possible for the imperial court to make an exception to promote himself to this position? But when I calmed down, I felt that it was impossible, I was just a commander from the fourth grade, and I wanted to be promoted to the general army all at once, it was a big joke, even if Emperor Chongzhen agreed, Wen Tiren couldn't fight for it, the dignity of the court was still wanted, and the chief military officer of Chongzhen for six years had not been flooded to such a point.

The most realistic idea is to annex all the 5,000 soldiers and horses of the Denglai General Army, 4,000 including the Jimo Battalion to defend Lushun, set up a deputy general soldier, and the other 1,000 will be led by the staff general to be stationed in Dengzhou, and Denglai will set up another deputy general soldier to rescue between Miaodao and Lushun, and set up a deputy general soldier in Dongjiang to be stationed in Guanglu.

Then there is the position of the Dongjiang General Army, at present, the highest voice is still Phi Dao Shen Shikui, he led the Dongjiang Naval Division and Kong Youde to fight a few battles, and there were mutual victories and defeats, but as long as Lushun separated from the Dongjiang River, Shen Shikui could not control himself, and it would not matter if he was not a general soldier, but he still had to deal with it often in the future, and it was necessary to understand this person first.

Thinking of this, Yang Bo was going to meet Zong Yuanfang, thinking of Zong Yuanfang Yang Bo hated so much that his teeth itched, this eunuch is simply a psychopath, you said that you want credit, no problem, you are waiting in Lushun, Yang Bo will naturally give the credit with both hands, but you have to go again, and you are afraid of death, and you have to temporarily change the hexagram and pull the anchor and leave first, aren't you being a villain in vain?

But Yang Bo had no choice but to continue to slap him, maybe a different eunuch would be more stupid than him?

At this moment, a cheer suddenly sounded on the city wall, Yang Bo was startled, but He Jiu ran over excitedly: "My lord, the Tartars have withdrawn!" ”

After a while, Zong Yuanfang also came to the city wall surrounded by Shang Kexi and others, and they were also beaming.

"Finally retreated!" Zong Yuanfang attached his hands to his forehead and sighed that Yang Bo knew that he couldn't wait to sacrifice his majesty, and he also smiled and congratulated a few words.

"Ming said that our family will feast Lushun meritorious soldiers!" Zong Yuanfang said arrogantly, the Tartars retreated, and he knew that the name of the soldier would be solid from now on, and he would be on an equal footing with Gao Qiqian just by virtue of the flank attack on Jinzhou.

"There are also Lushun fathers who help defend the city," Yang Bo reminded

Zong Yuanfang nodded, carefully looked at the situation of the Tartars' retreat, and suddenly asked: "Zhixian, Yuanji, Yueguan, do you think we should go out of the city to kill?" Isn't the art of war cloudy, and the enemy can attack it when he retreats? ”

Yang Bo was taken aback, Shang Kexi and Li Weiluan were also amazed, this Zong Yuanfang really dared to think, this "enemy retreat can be attacked" is the art of war that has been circulated in your family, right?

"Adults must not"

Yang Bo saw that they didn't dare to stop them, so he persuaded: "The Tartars have a degree of entry and a way to retreat, and there is no sense of panic, I bet that as long as I wait to go out of the city to pursue, I will definitely gain countless victories within ten miles." ”

Hearing Yang Bo's words, Zong Yuanfang was a little inexplicable, and Shang Kexi saw that the adults still didn't understand, so he said: "There was a cannon sound ten miles away, and the Tartars ambushed the soldiers, not only could the soldiers and horses not come back from the city, but they couldn't even keep Lushun."

Sure enough, after the Tartar infantry in front of them retreated, a cannon sounded, and countless Tartar cavalry on both sides of the northern city poured out and slowly retreated, but this time it really retreated.

Zong Yuanfang felt that his face was gloomy, so he dragged Yang Bo to write the report, and he still had some things to discuss with Yang Bo.

The Tartars finally retreated, and Lushun was temporarily safe, the first embarrassment Yang Bo faced was that his name was not justified, Li Weiluan was the chief officer of Lushun, and the Jimo camp was just a rescue of the guest army.

The key to defeating the Tartars is not that the city is dangerous, but that there are enough trained and strictly disciplined soldiers, Yang Bo once predicted that sweeping the Tartars will require at least 200,000 troops equipped with cold weapons, or 100,000 troops equipped with arquebuses and cold weapons, or 80,000 troops equipped with flintlock pistols and various artillery, the strength of the Tartars is there, and it cannot be eliminated by shouting a few slogans in the air, and to realize this final strategic concept, the army in his hands must reach the bottom line of at least 50,000, There is no room for negotiation on this bottom line, and the first step in the strategy of southern Liaoning is people, a large population!

Where is the population? Yang Bo set his sights on two places, Dengzhou and Dongjiang.

However, to Yang Bo's disappointment, Chen Bilian of Dengzhou gave back the information that there were very few displaced people who were willing to come to Lushun to come to Tuntian, except for a part that was struggling on the line of life and death, most of them shook their heads again and again when they heard about Lushun.

Yang Bo could understand their thoughts, he had only heard of the Dongjiang River flowing to Dengzhou before, and he had really never heard of the Dongjiang mixed rice, and besides, the Dongjiang River was not safe, so they would rather drag their families and move to relatively wealthy places inland.

Since Dengzhou can't recruit many people, Yang Bo has set his sights on the Liaodong people all over the Dongjiang River, most of the islands in the Dongjiang River are very barren, in addition to those generals can also get some smuggling, the fields can not grow any food, and many people will starve to death every winter, if they let them eat enough, they can recruit a lot of people, but Yang Bo is not willing to put the fate in the hands of others, when Yuan Chonghuan cut off the Dongjiang River rice grain for eight months, the Dongjiang soldiers and civilians starved to death every day, countless people in order to find a way to live, and even jumped into the sea to swim across Dengzhou with a log, and drowned countless more along the way.

Is there such a "loyal person" in the imperial court?

Yang Bo didn't know, but since he wanted to plan southern Liaoning, he must at least be self-sufficient, otherwise the imperial court would be stuck in his neck, and he Yang Bo would be meat on the chopping board, and he would not even have room for bargaining.

Although Lushun is only separated from Dengzhou by the sea, but growing rice? I'm sorry, I can't grow it, I can only grow wheat, and I can only plant one season a year, the barrenness of the island-type land is heartbreaking, one mu of wheat a year is only 200 catties, and even half of it is even used as a ration, and the output of this 200 catties is already considered the yield of fertile fields.

Eat the sea by the sea?

In this era, there were no trawls, the fishery was underdeveloped, there was not much fishing, and there were no high-yield crops to grow.

There is also the question, can the people of Liaodong believe it?

At that time, Yuan Chonghuan put forward the so-called "Liao people to defend the Liao land" strategy, but those who have not been ruled by the Later Jin, have not shaved their heads of the Liao people, and Mao Wenlong is really relying on the enemy-occupied areas to flee out of the Liao people who have shaved their heads, the intelligence work is impressive, or rebellion, or division, or assassination, exchange information, the old slave has not launched several times, the specific number, the target of the attack has been placed on Mao Wenlong's desk, it can be said that in the early days, these shaved Liao people did make great contributions to the Dongjiang River, but with the hopelessness of recovering the land, Da Ming's several decisive battles with Tartars ended in big defeats, and many people's hearts quietly changed, Yuan Yingtai, who replaced Xiong Tingbi, died on this, and Wang Huazhen was also defeated on this.
