His bombardment was not just to scare people, but to kill and wound many enemy soldiers. At one point, he even wanted to let the Marines land to see if there was a chance to expand the results of the battle. However, I later thought that there were still many Ming officers and soldiers in the fleet who had always been good at dragging people back and whose combat effectiveness could only be calculated by negative numbers, and I was afraid that as soon as they came ashore, they would expose their soft-footed shrimp nature, so I decided not to cause more trouble, and only to play a prestige on the sea.

But Rao was like this, and the results of the battle were not small - later, when Wen Desi continued to lead the fleet north, everywhere he went, he saw all the beacon towers along the coast burning, and the smoke soared into the sky. According to Pang Yu's hearing from some refugees who fled, the alarm beacon fire was actually lit all the way to Shenyang, and several barracks and post stations near Jinzhou were even abandoned by the Houjin soldiers on their own initiative, and even the warehouses were set on fire by themselves - this sounds incredible, the Houjin army at this time was not the Qing army of the later generations, how could it be in chaos to this point?

However, after a series of detailed investigations, it was found that this was indeed the case. Of course, this is not to say that the Houjin army is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, but their vision is too small after all. For those Houjin generals who have never seen the short-haired way of fighting, they simply can't imagine having such a mountain of ships and carrying out such overwhelming artillery bombardment, just to "scare people".

After consuming so much gunpowder and cannonballs and razing an entire Guancheng to the ground, even the most experienced and brave Houjin generals thought that the other side would definitely land on a large scale next. They were greatly shocked by the few huge ships that were like mountains, and there would certainly not be a small number of troops who needed to be loaded with so many large ships. Even if the Houjin army has always regarded the Ming army as a chicken, it had to temporarily shrink at this time to avoid the edge.

Originally, there were many small-scale military outposts in this area, and some alert teams were arranged in the dozens, more than hundreds, to guard against the Dongjiang Army, which had neither combat strength nor fighting spirit like Huazi. But to expect them to stop this terror army, which had not yet landed and had first bombarded an entire walled city with artillery, would be foolish to give away their heads for nothing.

Therefore, the Houjin generals ordered to abandon those small forts and villages. The order to assemble the scattered troops in order to strengthen the army must be correct. Those territories that are too close to the Jinzhou Walled City to be defended must be temporarily abandoned, and the materials that are too late to be transported in a hurry are burned to avoid financing the enemy, which is also a very normal and even excellent decision, and the Ming army may not be able to be so resolute.

It's just that they didn't expect that Wen Deji didn't go ashore at all after finishing that ticket, and he drove away in a leisurely manner. Instead of rushing back to the south, he continued to cruise up the coastline. I plan to drive all the way to the border between China and North Korea, the mouth of the Yalu River, and if I am in the mood, it is not bad to go and scare and scare the DPRK again -- there are still many strongholds of the Dongjiang Army on the small islands along the coastline in this area. Even if this huge fleet did nothing, just appearing in their eyes could bring hope and courage to these impoverished and almost desperate Ming soldiers, and encourage them to continue fighting.

And of course, it is impossible for such a large fleet to do nothing - there is always some food to be provided, and some to be taken away by the families of the wounded. Wen Desi had already considered the scope of future work for the newly built "Jinmen Fleet" of the Ming Dynasty -- to provide supplies for the Dongjiang Army. Assist in the evacuation of fleeing Han people, and deter North Korea. As long as these three points are done well, it will be much more difficult for the Houjin to completely control the Liaodong region, and they will want to attack the Central Plains without any worries. It's not that easy.

Of course, these are all later words, and the biggest result of this operation at present should be that the Houjin army will definitely not be able to attack Lushun within half a year--Wen Desi declared with certainty in the telegram sent to Pang Yu. In these years, it was not easy to dispatch a large army, and Houjin wanted to mobilize military horses to attack Lushun again. If the scale of less than 10,000 people is sent to death. And if you want to mobilize tens of thousands of troops, you must prepare military stations on the road in advance and reserve enough food. But all this is now ruined by themselves. After that, Jin Jun's backward technical ability did not want to recover for several months. Coupled with the reserve of food, the time for the mobilization of troops will take at least half a year?

Previously, this news made Pang Yu and Xie Xi very happy for a while, but now it seems that they were happy too early - Huang Taiji is really not easy to deal with. Just because he can't send an army doesn't mean he'll stop there, and although the army can't be sent, it's still easy to take advantage of the current wave of refugees and make trouble for Shorthair.

"What do you think Huang Taiji has in mind?"

Xie Xi was quite puzzled by this, and Pang Yu gently knocked on the table:

"The main thing should be to consume our food reserves, and in just a few days, we have added more than 10,000 mouths, almost catching up with the original population of Lushun. I guess he'll keep pushing refugees to our side all winter. Expecting to use the population to drag us down -- this is a righteous and bright plan, and if we lack strength, we will certainly not be able to withstand it. ”

"Unfortunately, it doesn't work for us."

Xie Xi sneered, and his tone was full of pride:

"No matter how wise Huang Taiji is, after all, he is only the vision of a tribal chief, and he probably can't imagine how terrifying the logistics ability of sea transportation is."

It's a very simple math problem: even according to the most abundant standard, how much does 10,000 people consume every month if they provide each refugee with one pound of food per day? -- 300,000 catties, only 150 tons, even an ordinary medium-sized transport ship in the Qiong Navy can easily complete this target. Wen Desi's fleet alone came over this time, and reserved more than 400 tons of military rations for Lushunkou, which was enough for them to hold out for a long time.

Port Arthur is not a completely frozen port, although there are frozen areas and ice floes near the shore, but under the guidance of Chen Jun, they built a temporary trestle bridge hundreds of meters long with empty barrels and wooden planks to penetrate into the ice-free area. The two sides are pulled into handrails with ropes, so even if the bridge deck freezes, it is not afraid to slide into the sea, which is safe and reliable. Occasionally, empty barrels will be crushed by ice floes and need to be replaced, but that will only increase the workload of maintenance and will not affect the transportation of the terminal.

It only takes a day and night to travel from Shandong to Lushun, and now there are daily boats back and forth, bringing supplies, including fresh fruits and vegetables, to pick up the wounded and some refugees. Although the absolute number is not very large, it is enough to stabilize the morale of the military and the people, so that the people here feel that they have not been abandoned by the mainland, and there is a way back at any time, which is easier to control.

Therefore, knowledge determines fate, and Huang Taiji can be called the best politician and military strategist of this era, but his knowledge and experience have limited his thinking mode after all. Since Nurhachi raised his army, whether it is the Houjin regime itself, or the Dongjiang Army, Guanning Army and other forces that have been entangled with it for many years, they have always been in a state of material shortage. Not enough food to eat is the norm for them. Especially in the cold winter and the ensuing spring famine, it is necessary to make careful calculations for every grain of grain and every population that will consume food. If a population of more than one or even two times its own number suddenly arrives, no matter how powerful the organization is, it will be chaotic - this is probably Huang Taiji's idea.

It's a pity that this time it's a pervert - even if the number of local refugees increases several times, the Qiong Navy will be able to eat it completely. When he was in Dengzhou, the team led by Pang Yu, who was also Xie Xi, transferred more than 100,000 immigrants to the south in just a few months. No matter how many people come in, this side is just a few more numbers on the material clearance table, and the powerful maritime mobility of the Qiong Navy makes it possible for Lushunkou to receive assistance from Shandong, and even Hainan and other places in the rear at any time, and evacuate the pressure to the rear. Huang Taiji could never have imagined that behind this small Port Arthur, a behemoth of such a scale was involved, so his strategy was doomed to failure.

"Yangmou doesn't work for us, we're better at this than Houjin. But the conspiracy is hard to say - there must have been a large number of spies mixed in with those refugees. Xiao Lang's experience must have given them some kind of hint......"

This is the most troublesome thing for Xie Xi and Pang Yu, the Later Jin regime has always been good at using spies, and the organizational form of the Joan Navy makes it impossible for them to break away from the grassroots people, and it is difficult to protect against assassins and killers hidden among the ordinary people. Xiao Lang's assassination made Hou Jin taste the sweetness in this regard, and he will definitely try again and again.

"Trouble...... If only Ade were here, troubleshooting spies is what he's best at. ”

"Or let Lao Ao come over, the chengguan team has been done well by him, and the title of 'Director Ao of the Secret Bureau' doesn't seem to be just a joke......"

It's a pity that neither of those two can get involved - Zhao Lide has his own mess, unless the situation here in Lushun is bad to a certain extent, and the committee officially orders it, it is impossible for him to come to help Xie Xie's small team carry the sedan chair. Ao Sayan is his own man, but since he spent the winter in Weihai last year, he has been frightened by the winter during the so-called "Xiaoice River period" and refuses to come to the north again.

Xie Pang and the others muttered, but they also knew that these troubles could only be solved by themselves in the end, so they could only discuss with each other and figure out all kinds of defenses.

"Security at Dr. Jack's place is essential, as he often makes rounds of the camp and is the most vulnerable target."

"Well, Chen Jun also needs to be more careful, he often recruits laborers from refugee camps and gives tools, so it is easy to be exploited."

"Grain and material warehouses should be inspected more intensively...... Grandma, I'm annoyed, I'd rather Houjin send another tens of thousands of people over and fight a battle. ”

"We feel pain, and I believe the other person is the same...... This Spring Festival, neither of us will let each other have a good time. ”

Pang Yu looked at the map at the core location of the Houjin regime, where Shenyang City was located, and smiled leisurely. (To be continued......)
