Chapter 354: Don't be careless
On the fifth day of the first lunar month, at noon, Zheng Xunrui entered Fuzhou City.
In just four days, the huge victory achieved by Zheng Jiajun shocked everyone, and Zheng Jinhong and others did not expect it at all.
Zheng's army occupied a large area from Shuangdao to Yongning, killed 2,313 Houjin Tartars, captured 687 alive, killed 1,797 Han soldiers, captured 1,203 alive, captured more than 3,000 war horses, and countless grains and grasses, and Zheng's army lost 124 people and seriously wounded 10 people.
This is a victory that can only be achieved in a dream.
But Zheng Xunrui is very calm, the results are indeed brilliant, but this is also because of the end of the Houjin Tartars' negligence in prevention, it can never be said that the Zheng family army has an absolute advantage in the face of the Houjin Tartars, the battles in Shuangdao Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Yongning, the Houjin Tartars who were killed and captured alive, many times they didn't have time to pick up arms, let alone ride on a war horse, so they were killed in a daze, Zheng Jiajun's battle this time was nothing more than the results of the sneak attack, just like a well-prepared person, Against a person who is still asleep or suddenly awakened, it is logical to win.
The battle only looks at the result, no one cares about the process, that's for sure, victory is victory.
Fuzhou City, State Wing Room.
Zheng Xunrui still had a map in front of him, and Zheng Jinhong, Hong Xinyu and Su Manzi were standing next to him.
"The first phase of the battle of the Zheng family army is basically over, and the situation in various places is basically stable, and there is no fluctuation, which is very gratifying, and the next step is to focus on two aspects, the first is to deal with the counterattack of the Houjin Tartars. I believe that someone has already gone to Gaizhou to report the news, so the counterattack of the Houjin Tartars will come soon, and the second is to stabilize the place, after all, the Houjin Tartars have ruled this place for many years, and there are many people among the people who have taken refuge in the Houjin Tartars. For this part of the people, we must treat them differently and not kill them on a large scale. β
"The garrison of the Zheng family army should be adjusted, my opinion, Yongning stationed five thousand Zheng family army soldiers, Yang He is still in charge of command. 10,000 Zhengjia soldiers were stationed in Fuzhou, Zheng Jinhong and I were stationed here, 5,000 Zhengjia soldiers were stationed in Lushun, Liu Zeqing was in charge, and 2,000 Zhengjia soldiers were stationed in Jinzhou. Wang Yuncheng was in charge of commanding, 1,000 Zhengjia soldiers were stationed in Xuancheng, Ma Xianglin was in charge, Xinhui was stationed in 1,000 Zhengjia soldiers, and Su Congjin was in charge of commanding. β
"500 Penglai sailors are stationed in Shuangdao, 500 are stationed in Lushunkou, 500 are stationed in Beixunkou, and the warships are distributed in three docks. Shuangdao left 20% of the warships, half of the warships were stationed in Lushun, and the remaining warships were stationed in Beixunkou. β
"The warships left behind by the twin islands. It is only a temporary station, and the future warships are distributed in Penglai Lushun and Beixunkou. β
"The Zheng family army is stationed in this way, it is also temporary, in the future, the Zheng family army soldiers stationed here will be retained at most 10,000 people, and Penglai City needs to be stationed with 5,000 Zheng family army soldiers. These 15,000 soldiers must firmly control the large area from Penglai to Fuzhou. No matter what the Houjin Tartar does, he must fight head-on. β
Zheng Jinhong looked at the map. After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, he immediately spoke.
"Young Master, subordinate Jianyì, Yang He can be responsible for commanding these fifteen thousand soldiers."
Zheng Xunrui nodded.
"That's what I'm thinking about."
Zheng Xunrui's eyes looked at Su Manzi beside Zheng Jinhong.
"Su Manzi, do you dare to be stationed in Fuzhou and beat the Houjin Tartars at all times."
Su Manzi held his head high and spoke loudly.
"Subordinates dare."
"Okay, after the Zheng Jiajun repelled the counterattack of the Houjin Tartars, you assist Yang He and are stationed here, Yang He is stationed in Lushun on weekdays to coordinate all matters from Penglai to Fuzhou, you are stationed in Fuzhou, monitoring every move of the Houjin Tartars, you have to remember that Fuzhou and Yongning are the front line, and facing the attack of the Houjin Tartars all the time, it will not be inferior to Liaodong, Fuzhou is the barrier of Lushun and other places, and there can be no mistakes."
After dark, Yang He, Liu Zeqing, Wang Yuncheng, Ma Xianglin, Ding Baokun and others all rushed to Fuzhou.
Still in the wing room of the state government, Zheng Jinhong, on behalf of Zheng Xunrui, made arrangements for the 24,000 soldiers of the Zheng family army and the Penglai Naval Division to be stationed.
After the arrangement was completed, Zheng Xunrui opened his mouth with a stern face.
"In just four days, the Zheng family army occupied a large area from Lushun to Yongning, and the battle did achieve a heavy victory, but this is only the first step, and then you need to stabilize the local situation, almost all the officials of the local government have been captured, and the Zheng family army officers and soldiers are temporarily in charge of all the affairs of the government, but this is not a long-term solution, I think that among the captured officials, you can select some of them and enter the government to continue to do things, they are familiar with the local situation, and can help us maintain local order, But there are some things that must be emphasized, and that is that the officials must do what we ask them to do. β
"Within half a month, the local government must operate normally, and there must be no mistakes."
"The Zheng family army occupies such a large area, the three thousand Houjin Tartars and three thousand Han soldiers stationed here are wiped out, Huang Taiji cannot endure such a defeat, and will definitely fight back with all his might, you must be prepared to meet the rebellion of the Houjin Tartars, and protect the places occupied by the residence, these places must not be allowed to be occupied by the Houjin Tartars again."
"The Houjin Tartars led by Huang Taiji are fighting fiercely in Korea, and it is Zierharang who is stationed in Shenyang, and Duoduo Azig and Abatai are stationed in Gaizhou, and the Eight Banners under their command are truly strong in combat effectiveness."
"So I want to remind you that you should be happy after the victory, but it is far from the time to celebrate, we have defeated the counterattack of the Houjin Tartars, and only when we gain a foothold here can we truly achieve victory, so you must all cheer up, the real vicious battle has not yet begun."
"Some of you are worried that the Zheng family army is only more than 20,000 people, but there are more than 100,000 Houjin Tartars under the command of Huang Taiji, which is not something that Zheng Jiajun can resist, this worry is very reasonable, so Zheng Jiajun can't fight alone, and must get the support of the imperial court, I expect that Huang Taiji can't lead all the Houjin Tartars to attack, he won't be so stupid, I can even conclude that Huang Taiji won't personally lead the army to attack."
Zheng Xunrui's hand pointed in the direction of Liaodong on the map.
"Huang Taiji's biggest worry is still in Liaodong, the main force of the Houjin Tartars entered North Korea, and there are not many troops stationed in Shenyang, as long as the Houjin Tartars attack Fuzhou and other places, the army stationed in Liaodong has a slight move, and Huang Taiji will be restless, after all, Shenyang is their capital, and there can be no mistakes."
"We must seize this opportunity, here in Yongning, after a hard lesson, the golden tartars, they dare not covet Fuzhou and other places, and they are frightened, so that our goal will be truly achieved."
"The purpose of the Zheng Jiajun expedition is to aid North Korea, on the surface, the Zheng Jiajun did not directly aid North Korea, but we occupied Lushun and Fuzhou and other places, the purpose has been achieved, I believe that the Huang Taiji in North Korea, after learning the news, will definitely withdraw the troops, he does not dare to continue the expedition in Korea, there are not many Houjin Tartars stationed in Shenyang, if the Zheng family army and the army stationed in Liaodong launch an attack on Shenyang and Liaoyang and other places at the same time, the foundation of Huang Taiji will be shaken."
When Zheng Xunrui said this, Ding Baokun couldn't help but speak.
"My lord, my subordinates think that the imperial court can seize this opportunity and take advantage of Huang Taiji's expedition in Korea to launch an attack from the two directions of Liaodong and Fuzhou, so that even if it can't threaten Shenyang, it can recover a large area of lost territory."
Zheng Xunrui looked at Ding Baokun, and couldn't say that Ding Baokun's construction was wrong, but he couldn't do it at present.
"General Ding, if you are asked to go to Liaodong and lead the army to fight, can you guarantee the victory over the Houjin Tartars?"
Ding Baokun was stunned for a moment, blushing and lowering his head.
"This building yΓ¬ is indeed good, but it depends on what the situation is, the courage of the Houjin Tartar, you all know, if you launch an attack at this time, Huang Taiji quickly returned to help, once the army of Liaodong can not resist, Fuzhou also has a huge danger, Huang Taiji can deploy a small number of troops in Liaodong, the main force directly presses Fuzhou, there is such a situation, it is dangerous, Liaodong direction to make an offensive situation, do not really attack, Huang Taiji has taboos, will not dare to attack Fuzhou and other places on a large scale, After all, Huang Taiji's focus is still on preserving Shenyang and Liaoyang. β
When he said this, Zheng Xunrui sighed slightly.
The strength of the Zheng family army is indeed strong, but unfortunately the number is not enough, it is impossible to fully meet the Houjin Tartars, and at present, it can only stick to this area from Lushun to Fuzhou, and at the same time stick to this area, recruit Liaodong Han people into the Zheng army, so that they can slowly expand their strength.
The decisive battle between Zheng Jiajun and Houjin Tartar is finally coming, not now.
The combat deployment was quickly arranged, Yongning and Fuzhou were stationed with 15,000 Zheng family army soldiers, and the Penglai Navy Division led by Ding Baokun, the warship was also coming in the direction of Beixunkou, this 15,000 Zheng family army soldiers were enough to resist the counterattack of the Houjin Tartars, after all, Huang Taiji was still far away in North Korea, and the ones who could launch a counterattack at this moment were the Duoduo Azig and Abatai stationed in Gaizhou, as for how many Houjin Tartars they had, although Zheng Xunrui did not know the specific number, but he knew that the number was definitely not much, Even if Duoduo wanted to attack Fuzhou and Yongning, he didn't dare to make a move, after all, he still had to stick to Gaizhou.
In the next time, Zheng Jiajun needs to make preparations to face the Houjin Tartars, this time the battle is very important, once the Houjin Tartars are defeated, they are afraid, Fuzhou and other places will be safe, otherwise this area is still in danger. (To be continued)
