Chapter 509: The Second Army of the Guards Army lands in Lushun

The governor of Shengjing, the so-called general of Shengjing in the late Manchu Qing Dynasty, was the highest Manchu governor in the entire Liao Province outside the Guan.

And today's Shengjing governor is Manchurian Zhenghongqi third-class male Ye Keshu, this person is the Zhenghongqi general, the minister of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who participated in the battle of defeating Li Zicheng's army in a stone, but he also had a headache for the Ming Guards Navy to attack the coast after taking over the post of Shengjing Governor, and now when he heard that a large number of Ming troops had landed, he stood up directly in surprise: "What, no less than 50,000 Ming troops!" ”

"The minions don't dare to lie, the entire sea surface of Lushunkou is full of Ming army's warships, and there are people standing on them, and they are constantly landing from the ship, our defenders in Jinzhou are too few, so please send reinforcements quickly!"

The Qing army leader, who was in charge of reporting the news, immediately knelt down.

"The soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, even if these Ming troops have tens of thousands, in the end they only dare to attack and harass on the coast, we have five thousand iron cavalry outside the new training, all of them are my fresh and fresh armor soldiers, one when ten or even a hundred can be, the bow and horse are skillful, Rao is the Ming army Liao soldiers are not our opponents, not to mention these southern barbarians, in addition to playing with firearms!"

At this time, Gao Di, the commander-in-chief of the Qing army, expressed his views on the Ming army in front of Ye Keshu, who was originally the commander-in-chief of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, but surrendered to the Manchu Qing in the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, and was a typical military landlord class of the Han nationality in Liaodong, and had already served the Qing Dynasty as the mainstay, and even took pride in the bravery of his Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty, and was more confident than Ye Keshu, a Manchurian who was red.

And Ye Keshu was said by this Gao Di, and he also had some confidence: "What you said is reasonable, we are not the opponent of the Ming army at sea, but these Ming troops may not be our opponents on land, the southern water network is vertical and horizontal, and my Qing Dynasty iron cavalry is not used to water battles, so that Prince Yu and others were killed by the Ming army, and now it is outside the pass, the root of my Qing Dynasty, how can I tolerate the arrogance of these Ming troops!" ”

"Gao Di, you lead 10,000 Han troops with red flag cavalry to immediately rush to the aid of Jinzhou Wei to meet the enemy, and then pretend to be defeated and retreat to Shiheyi, and the chief manager personally leads 5,000 armored soldiers to ambush here, and then join forces with you to attack this Ming army! Let it come and go! ”

Ye Keshu, the governor of Shengjing in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, immediately issued a battle order, and soon, Gao Di, the general of the Manchu Dynasty, personally led 10,000 Han troops with red flag cavalry to gallop towards Jinzhouwei.

……

At this time, some officers and men of the Second Army of the Guards Army also landed at Lushun Pass one after another.

The first to land was the First Infantry Battalion of the Second Army of the Guards led by Zhu Qingchun.

Although it is already a cold winter in Layue, it is even more foggy and snowy in this eastern Liaodong region.

However, the officers and men of the Second Guards did not show any symptoms of discomfort, because the development of the Ming textile industry and the financial development of the Northern Expedition allowed the Guards to have enough warm and thick winter clothes.

Now, the officers and soldiers of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Guards Army are walking on the official road with rifles, and the Qing army commander who is guarding here sees that there are not many Ming troops at this moment, and he is also fearless to ride his horse towards the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Army of the Guards, in a vain attempt to use the rapid mobility of the cavalry to repel this Ming infantry, so as to achieve the goal of repelling the large-scale landing of the Ming army.

"Kill!"

The Qing army commander personally brandished his sword and killed him, grinning his teeth like a man-eating beast approaching the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Army of the Guards Army step by step.

The Qing troops behind him also rushed over, and the Qing officers and soldiers outside the pass did not know much about the Guards, and thought that they could quickly crush the Guards infantry with this rapid charge.

"Don't panic, it's just a thousand rides, listen to the instructions of the official, line up with guns, and form a 29-style formation! Shoot! ”

Under Zhu Qingchun's shout, the infantry of the 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Army of the Guards Army immediately and accurately deployed their formations and began to calmly shoot at these Qing iron cavalry one by one.

The fire network composed of rifled guns was indeed very strong, and the cavalry under the command of this staff leader had not been able to rush for a long time, and all of them fell to the ground in an instant.

The Qing army commander himself fell to the ground and found himself shot twice in the chest.

Thousands of Qing cavalry were wiped out by the Guards infantry in an instant, and the remnants of the Qing cavalry that were lucky enough not to be hit by the Guards infantry only fled frantically in the direction of Liaodong Town.

The 1st Infantry Battalion of the 2nd Guards Army continued to advance and recaptured the Jinzhou Zhongzuo Station on the afternoon of 3 December.

At this time, in the next two days, the Second Army of the Guards Army landed ashore one after another, and on the night of 5 December, all of them landed at Lushunkou, and a full 150,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the area from the left of Jinzhou to Lushunkou.

After resting for another three days, in the early morning of the 8th day of the first month of December, Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the Guards, ordered a march in the direction of Jinzhouwei.

Jinzhouwei is the most difficult defensive city of Liaodong Town on the Liaodong Peninsula, controlling the main road from Lushun Port into the hinterland of Liaodong, so Qin Zuoming, the commander-in-chief of the Second Army of the Guards, asked to attack Jinzhouwei first.

On that day, it happened to be a sunny winter day, and although the eyes were covered in silver, the vision was also extremely open and clear.

The 150,000 horses of the Second Guards Army pierced into the hinterland of the Manchu Qing Dynasty like a dark sword spread over the entire white Liaodong region.

Jinzhou Wei was subordinate to the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, and the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was stationed in Liaoyang.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, Nurhachi led the Qing army to occupy Liaoyang, took Liaoyang as the capital, implemented the reform from serfdom to feudalism, and also allocated land to the Manchu and Han soldiers and civilians in Liaodi, so in today's Liaodong region, the rule of the Manchu Qing is very consolidated.

The Manchu and Han people here were very loyal to the Manchus and regarded the appearance of the Guards as invaders.

After all, the eastern Liaodong region has been lost to Jianyu for nearly 30 years, and many people in the north of Lianguan have not known that the Ming Dynasty is still there after five years, let alone the people of Liaodi.

Under the guidance of the Manchu government, they all regarded the Ming army as enemies, because many of their relatives died at the hands of the Ming guards in the southward campaign.

Because of this, Chongzhen's 20-year Guards Navy did not dare to easily penetrate into the hinterland of Liaodong when it attacked the coast of Liaodong.

Qin Zuoming also knew that fighting in Liaodong could not be the same as fighting in Guannei, after all, this was the base camp of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, so he had to be cautious, and if necessary, it would be more cruel than the Northern Expedition of the Guards in Guannei.

The Guards were not only to be absolutely untolerant of the Manchu Tartars, but also to carry out a thorough eradication of the Han military landlords of the Liao who had surrendered to the Manchus.

There are many Han military landlords here are Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and other forces, they should be the strongest force for the Ming Dynasty to fight against the Qing army, but after being fattened by the Ming court with millions of taels of silver every year, even people and land have been voted for the Manchu Qing.
