Chapter 4 Coming from the Sea

"The purpose of this landing in Liaodong was to stabilize Lushun and attack the Southern Fourth Guard, forcing Jiannu to withdraw his troops from the Daling River. The first combat target is Lushun, Lushun is divided into two cities in the north and south, the north city was demolished by Jiannu in the third year of Yaoqi, Chen is stationed in the south city at present, the city is three hundred steps in one week, the moat is two feet wide and five feet, and there are only two gates in the north and south. We will be stationed in the name of helping defense, and the royal court will go with us to try to join the big club, and in order to avoid Chen's suspicions, the first batch will only enter the two divisions of the 2,000 headquarters in the city, and use official documents to enter the city to control the deputy general's mansion. The signal was sent after the south gate, and the rest of the crew disembarked and entered the city. After entering the city, disarm Chen's subordinates, screen the recruits, and all the members above the 100 general must be detained. He can only be released after being examined by the prison army Lu Dajin. ”

Zhu Guobin pointed to the large map, which was only drawn based on the memories of some Dongjiang veterans, and could only be used as a general explanation. This time, Liu Pojun was condemned as having lost his military plane, demoted two levels to become the lowest-level staff officer, and is still being locked up, so Zhu Guobin temporarily replaced him in the military council.

"The second operational target is Jinzhou, which will be carried out after the control of Lushun, which is one hundred and twenty miles north of Lushun, twenty-six steps to the city, and the city wall is three feet and five feet high. After three years of Yaoqi, it has been the post-financial control zhì, stationed here is the Jianzhou inlaid blue flag department, stationed into the horse unknown, according to the previous scattered collection of information, guess the number of soldiers into about 300, Mongolia into and coat may be about 500. The difficulty of this Golden State operation was that there were no cities to defend and supply along the way, and it was inevitable that siege warfare would be necessary. ”

Dai Zhenggang raised his hand and asked: "On the way, there will always be villages in Houjinkongzhì, and there will be some grain in them, so we don't have to be polite to these tartars." ”

Zhu Guobin explained: "Around three years after the beginning of the Qi, Jinzhou and Fuzhou Hanjin have been slaughtered, according to the Dongjiang soldiers who fled to Wendeng over the years, now 120 miles from Jinzhou to Lushun are all ghost domains, and there are only a small number of Mongolians grazing between Jinzhou and Fuzhou. Dai Zhenggang was surprised: "Why is such a big place like this?" ”

Zhu Guobin pursed his lips, seemingly slightly excited. He was Liaodong entered, fled to Shandong in the first year of Yaoqi, and he heard about the suffering after the fall of Liaodong later. Dai Zhenggang entered Yanggu, Shandong, although many of his subordinates also came from Liaodong, but his feelings were far less appropriate than Zhu Guobin.

Seeing this, Chen Xin nodded to Zhou Shifa, and Zhou Shifa explained: "In June of the third year of the Emperor's reign, Liu Xingzuo guarded Fuzhou, and everyone knew that he contacted Shen Congrong, the general soldier of Denglai, and was ready to flee with the people in Fuzhou City, but was denounced by a Han Jiān named Wang Bingzhuo, and the old slave immediately sent troops to arrest Liu Xingzuo, but he was very calm and refused to admit it, and the old slave finally killed Wang Bingzhuo. After this time, Liu Xingzuo lost the trust of the old slave, and was later guarded and lived in Shenyang until he faked his death and fled to Dongjiang Town. However, although the old slave let go of Liu Xingzuo, he did not let go of the Han people in Fuzhou, and ordered Dai Shan to kill the entry of Fuzhou, and this time alone killed more than 100,000 Han people, and then on the grounds that there were too many details of Jiān, the remnants of Fuzhou Gaizhou moved to the north of Haizhou, and settled in Yaozhou, Haizhou, Niuzhuang, Anshan and other places. Dai Zhenggang slapped on the table with a bang, startling everyone in the room, he was excited for a while and didn't have time to notice, stood up and scolded loudly: "This old slave is really inferior to a beast." ”

Huang Side hurriedly persuaded: "This is a military discussion, don't be excited about Dai Qian, the suffering of the Liao people is not just like this, there are many bad things about the old slave, in fact, our instructor has told the soldiers many times about these things, has Dai Qian never heard of it?" ”

Dai Zhenggang snorted, he has never been interested in this Huang Side, he is the same as Zhong Laosi, thinking that the instructor doesn't know that he is bringing a thousand things, and he feels that it is useless to fight, and he always likes to walk around in front of him, and he has to ask about everything. And according to the new military system, the promotion of officers requires the countersignature of the discipline officer of the headquarters and Huang Side, which makes Dai Zhenggang even more unhappy.

This time, he also stood on Zhong Laosi's side in the matter of Zhong Laosi, thinking that Zhong Laosi's combat actions in Zhenhaimen were resolute and effective, but his attitude was not good. He was very dissatisfied with Huang Side and Nie Hong's joint efforts to suppress the first batch of Zhong Laosi, and said angrily at the moment: "The instructor of this department is boring, and I don't want to listen to it." ”

Huang Side was surprised: "The second general few instructors can all speak well, how can it be boring. ”

At this time, Chen Xin suddenly laughed and said to Huang Side: "Mr. Huang, Mr. Huang, Mr. Dai Qian's words are very good, everything you talk about must be interesting to be willing to listen, this time you don't go to Lushun, just do another thing with your heart, and set up a literary team under the Propaganda Bureau." ”

"Literary team? This...... Do you mean storytelling? ”

"Singing."

Huang Side thought for a while, and immediately said: "The subordinates know the meaning of Dajin, Dajin is really talented and quick, and his subordinates also found the drawbacks that Dai Qian said some time ago, and he couldn't figure out how to do it for a long time. ”

Dai Zhenggang tilted his head and snorted softly, feeling uncomfortable for a while, although he also admired Chen Xin very much, but he couldn't do it in front of the public.

Chen Xin smiled at Huang Side and said: "Start this matter immediately, you don't have to sing it, you have to find actors to act, you can speak in the vernacular, you must make everyone understand, um...... The actor should choose this one to look better, but to play the ugly ones like Tartars and bandits......"

Zhu Guobin saw that the military discussion was pulled aside, and coughed a little embarrassed, he gave a lecture for the first time, and he didn't think it was difficult to watch Liu Pojun speak before, but Bi Jing still couldn't control the scene when he came to power.

When Chen Xin heard the cough, he hurriedly stopped and said to Zhu Guobin, "Guobin, you continue." ”

"If Houjin still does not withdraw after Jinzhou is attacked, our department will build a trench near Jinzhou, and send troops to attack Fuzhou by sea and land. The 2,000 headquarters of the combat troops, the 4th and 5000 headquarters of the reserve battalion, the cavalry battalion, the light cavalry of the Chinese army, and the fourth squad of the special service team, totaling 3,600 troops, and the 3,000 headquarters of the combat troops will stay in Dengzhou as a reserve force, and decide whether to transfer to Liaodong according to the battle situation. The first batch of land troops is the 2000th headquarters, the second batch is the 40000 headquarters of the reserve battalion, and the auxiliary troops plan to use the local Lushun starting ......"......

In the early morning of February 21, the red rì is rising and the sun is shining, the clouds on the sea are steaming, and in the ten thousand acres of sea outside Penglai Pavilion in Dengzhou, the ships are coming from the sea.

Most of the forces of the Dengzhou and Wendeng water camps set off from Shuicheng and are heading for Lushun, including four No. 2 Fu boats, as well as hundreds of bird boats, Kailang, Haicang, sand boats and other ship types. Began to transport up to 3,000 troops of the Wenden battalion.

The Wendeng battalion troops replenished a batch of weapons transported by Wendeng, replaced the cold weapons and firearms that had been lost, and immediately embarked on the journey of Liaodong.

The news from the sentinel boat was that Kong Youde's unit had come ashore in Fuzhou, and some Dengzhou water camp boats attacked and sank more than a dozen rebel boats. According to the sentinel's boat, Kong Youde's troops were stationed five miles outside the city of Fuzhou, near the Fuzhou River, and it seems that Jiannu did not let them into the city or provide them with food. After Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi analyzed it, they thought that they were still waiting for Huang Taiji's will. Since Li Jiucheng himself is still a homeless man, he naturally has no capital to buy Chen Shi, and Chen sometimes should not follow him to surrender in the short term.

With this understanding, Wang Tingqian and Lu Zhi were expected to go to Lushun together, Wang Tingqian had the opportunity to borrow the merits of Wendeng Camp to become Dengfu in Chongzhen for three years, but in the end he was a little afraid of this position, the hope of the imperial court at that time was to restore the southern four guards, at that time Dongjiang Town was still in the chaos caused by Liu Xingzhi, Wang Tingtry to be Denglai Road for many years, knowing that the recovery of the southern four guards was purely a bad night, and the mere two thousand Wendeng camps were not enough to ensure that he could sit in this position, and finally turned to the military department as a waiter.

Now the situation is different, he doesn't want Liang Tingdong's position, it is obviously a hot potato. Now Denglai has the Wendeng camp to rely on, and it is separated from Jiannu by the Liaohai, which is both safe and has military merits.

He decided in his heart to take Chen Xin's department as the core, especially to let them be stationed in Lushun, not only to contain Jiannu in southern Liaoning to obtain military merits, but also to deter the gang in Dongjiang Town. Wang Tingqian estimated that the current entry of the Wendeng camp reached four or five thousand, and Chen Xin told him that the extra entry was all military households trained from the three guards of Wendeng. Chen Xin's ability to train troops made Wang Tingqian see hope, as long as Wen Dengying was in Denglai, then he would be able to make the most important side achievements, and it was expected that he would enter the cabinet after rì.

Therefore, he clearly asked to stay in Wendeng Camp, and it was not appropriate to transfer to Guanning, and the best reason was to transfer a department directly to Lushun, so that even if he directly fought against Jiannu, it would be more advantageous than being placed in Liaoxi for thousands of miles.

After Wang Tingtry was appointed as the temporary governor of Denglai, he consulted with Chen Xin and Lü Zhi overnight, he stayed in the military department for two years, and the policy level was higher than before, and he also knew what kind of things the emperor liked to see, and the first thing was to put forward an overall strategy, the specific content was coarse and detailed, at least it seemed to be new and feasible.

After some discussion, a new tripartite arrangement strategy was proposed, and three letters were issued in succession, indicating that Lushun Chen sometimes had signs of instability, and it was necessary for Wendeng Camp to be stationed in Lushun to contain the Jiannu of the Southern Fourth Guard, with the Guanning Army of Western Liaoning, the Wendeng Camp of Southern Liaoning, and Dongjiang Town of Liaodong as the tripartite, and the water divisions of Yaojin, Denglai, and Juehua as the countermeasures. In this new tripartite layout strategy, Lushun is a core part.

If the emperor can approve of this plan, it is conceivable that more than 40% of the Liao salary will be distributed to Denglai, at least not less than 900,000 taels per year during the Sun Yuanhua period, and the profit will be far more than that of the squire of the military department, and the material income is good. He is very clear about the relationship between Chen Xin and Wen Tiren, and he also knows that Zhou Yanru is afraid that the future is worrying, so the political income is also good.

The premise of this qiē is to have a good relationship with Chen Xin. When he was in Denglai Dao in previous years, he traveled back and forth to the Dongjiang River many times and dealt with Mao Wenlong for a long time, because the number of troops in the Dongjiang River has not been accurate for many years, and every time the nuclear army is a time to reap benefits, Mao Wenlong's salary is always like begging for food. Wang Ting tried to get the money, and he generally still had to do things, and the feedback to the military department was that the soldiers and horses in Dongjiang Town were full of soldiers and horses, and the troops were not ordinary. In general, his relationship with Mao Wenlong is acceptable, but he was also impeached by the imperial history for many years.

Although he was very greedy for money, Wang Tingqian ignored Chen Xin's seizure this time, and made up his mind that even if Chen Xin did not give him a penny, he would not show any dissatisfaction, but fortunately, Chen Xin was still sensible and offered 30,000 taels of tickets, which made him very satisfied.

Wang Tingqian learned the lesson of Sun Yuanhua, never competed with Lu Zhi for power, and let go of all the arsenal and military supplies to Lu Zhi, but military merit is a step to advancement, and it is necessary to share the profits. Therefore, he made a special trip to board Chen Xin's ship and rushed to Lushun together.

Wang Tingqian stood at the bow of the ship and glanced at the fleet in front of him, quite high-spirited, he said lightly to Chen Xin beside him: "General Chen, during the period of Yaoqi, Dengzhou sent two southern soldiers to aid Liao, one of which was to go to Lushun, which was immediately conquered by Mang Gurtai and his troops, and Zhang Pan Zhu Guochang and others died. This time from the Wendeng camp to Liao, the official is very sure, whether it is Xiong Tingbi's 1rì tripartite arrangement strategy, or Sun Da's entry into the camp to build the Guanning defense line, all need strong troops to implement, without a strong army, it is Sun Wu's resurrection to set a strategy, and it is also in vain. ”

Chen Xin said solemnly: "With the support of Wang Dajin, the lower officials will definitely fulfill their duties, and the maximum number of soldiers who can build slaves is only 50,000, and the lower officials have the confidence to stand firm in Lushun and will never disappoint Dajin." ”

Wang Tingqian nodded with satisfaction, "With General Chen's words, this official is also relieved." Jiannu is the primary enemy of my Ming Dynasty, and Denglai has only been paying for Dongjiang Town for many years, although it is an important place, it is only remembered when something happens. If Lushun is really included in Dengzhou Town this time, Dengzhou Town will become a really important place, and the emperor will always be worried. This official has asked the military department to appoint General Chen as the chief soldier of Denglai, and Lu Jianjun also agreed, and the military department and the emperor will not object, and the military department and Lu Jianjun will definitely ensure that the general's soldiers are paid in full, and the general will also work in harmony with this official to destroy this court for the imperial court. ”

Chen Xin bowed and pretended to say: "The lower official thanked Dajin for recommending him, but the duties of the chief soldier of Denglai are heavy, and the last general is quite frightened in his heart, for fear that he will be ashamed of Dajin if he does not do well." ”

Wang Tingqian also knew that Chen Xin was just polite, he waved his hand magnificently, "It's just that the Jiannu are all cavalry, if General Chen attacks Jinzhou this time, he still needs to be careful, and detection and defense from far and near are essential." This is the strategy to besiege Wei and save Zhao, but the big Ling River ...... Now that there is no way to know what the situation is, General Chen must remember to be safe first, and not to seek merit and put himself in danger, once he finds out that the Jiannu army is coming to help, he must quickly return to Lushun. Even if it only forces Jiannu to evacuate Jinzhou, it is the work of Forte, and the official is good at speaking in the court. ”

Chen Xin knew that he was also looking forward to military exploits, and flattered: "The last general will keep in mind Wang Dajin's instructions, the number of Jiannu in Jinzhou is unknown, maybe a thousand or more, and the last general will definitely send more sentry horses to patrol at that time, so as to be safe." ”

"Okay, good, General Chen is not arrogant, today's national affairs are difficult, and the north is full of beacons, it is the time for the general to show his ambitions, and his achievements may not be under Qi Shaobao."

Qi Shaobao once said, 'I don't want to be a marquis, I hope Hai Boping is flat', as long as the people live in peace, even if the general is a small soldier, he is willing."

Wang Ting smiled and nodded, at this time, the sailors on the Fu boat shouted in unison, the wide bamboo rib hard sail slowly rose to the mast, and the surrounding ships of all sizes also raised their sails one after another, and the dense ships sailed out of Half Moon Bay, breaking through the thin smoke clouds steaming on the sea, and went to Changshan Island in the north to ride the wind.
