Chapter 1356: Golden State

When the selection is optimized, there are also some tragicomedies, many Liao people are just messing around after being incorporated into the farmland, and some are working hard, these motivated people are always ridiculed by those who are messing around, saying that this is the world of Xuzhou people and Shandong people, and we outsiders have no early days at all, is it not good to be honest as cattle and horses?

As a result, until now, everyone is dumbfounded, I didn't expect that the Zhao family army really wanted to counterattack Liaodong, really want to cross the sea to conquer, go back at this time, that is the hero of the new dynasty from the dragon, but to be reused in the future, to soar, and this is still to return to Liaodong, and can rescue the suffering relatives and friends, and can return to the hometown in beautiful clothes.

All the Liaodong villagers who have stayed in the farmland are full of confidence in Zhao Jiajun, only by personally participating in it, seeing such organization and efficiency, and seeing the power that can be used, can they know what he can do, those who have no hard work, gossip, can only secretly say that the Tartar is like a wolf and a tiger, and I don't know how dangerous it is, and I finally escaped and went back, and if I didn't do it, I threw my life back.

But as long as they are motivated, these people have the heart to go back, and they have the intention of not fearing hardships, taking revenge, and recovering their homeland, and they have their own preparations and determinations.

The gentry and people of Dengzhou Mansion have seen more Liao people, and even this group of people in the organization of the farm reclamation grange also have familiar faces, and the Liao people who have been plagued by the two prefectures of Denglai are decadent and full of despair and resentment, which makes people despise and worry, lest they will cause some trouble one day, but after seeing the farmers who come out of the grange, they find that these people are full of capable spirit, and such a temperament is often only found by the most outstanding officials and servants in the yamen.

The materials are sufficient, the reserves are sufficient, the only thing to worry about is that the so-called provisional first division has a total of no more than 10,000 people, which is still counted after the heavy master is counted, which makes everyone worried, crossing the sea to beat the Tartars is a good thing, but Liaodong has been run into the fundamental place of Jianzhou, the Tartars themselves have 100,000 soldiers and horses, plus the vassals of Liaozhen who are strong enough to drive away or disregard the shame, how can more than 200,000 soldiers and horses be able to make up, such a force, you will use less than 10,000 soldiers and horses to fight? The stakes are too great.

And everyone also knows one thing, the news of the coastal area of Liaodong Dengzhou Military Port knows very quickly, and similarly, the news from Liaodong here also knows very quickly, and it is not tacit, who does not know that there are many Tartars on this side of Dengzhou Mansion The eyeliner is spying, the soldiers are fast, the soldiers are sudden, you make such a big fanfare, the Jianzhou Jurchens on the other side of the sea have long known, and they must calmly mobilize troops and horses to meet the battle, but the Zhao family army is still going step by step, whether this is a light enemy or a bluff, no one can say, but everyone is very worried.

If there is any good news, that is, there is still resistance in the area of Jinzhou Lushun, originally the Tartars only arranged 2,000 soldiers and horses over there to intercept and contain, but suddenly increased the strength to more than 5,000, which made the general soldier Zhang Pan and his soldiers and horses breathless, but Jinzhou Lushun is different from Phi Dao, there can be direct support from Dengzhou Mansion, at least there is no need to worry about the grain road being cut off, Jianzhou Jurchen is a mess at sea, there is no way to block and intercept.

There is also a mixed factor, just some time ago, the fleet of Dongjiang Town on Phi Island came to the vicinity of Lushun in Jinzhou, and the ships were all elites from Dongjiang Town, and there were a lot of supplies on board, which greatly strengthened the strength of Jinzhou and Lushun, but it made people worry about the situation on Phi Island.

This group of soldiers and horses transferred from Dongjiang Town to Jinzhou and Lushun were holding their breath, they could have crossed the sea directly to Dengzhou Mansion, but most of them chose to continue to stay in Liaodong and Jianzhou Jurchen fought bloody battles, according to the news they sent back, Dongjiang Town's chief soldier Mao Wenlong has been killed in battle, Dongjiang Town has fallen, and the head of the Xuzhou camp over there is more than auspicious.

Dengzhou Mansion, even including the original Ming generals, are worried about the Zhao family's army, and some people even take the initiative to make suggestions, saying that the Tartars have arrived on Phi Island, and there are more than 5,000 soldiers and horses in Liaodong, that is to say, in the direction of Jinzhou and Lushun, the Tartars almost have nearly 20,000 troops gathered, and the Zhao army is still at sea, and the Tartars are on land, and they still occupy some initiative.

This dispatch of troops is not only exciting for the people of the world, but also a major event for the Zhao family's army, in order to be safe, how can we strengthen the troops, if we lose so recklessly, what kind of mistakes and losses, the Zhao family's army is likely to collapse.

Everyone is willing to fight the Tartars, everyone is willing to recover the homeland, at this time, orthodoxy and anti-thieves are not so important, especially those Shandong officials and generals in Denglai Town are even more heartfelt, but Zhao Jiajun's reaction is no different from before, and he still goes his own way.

When all the preparations were ready, the first division of the Zhao Jiajun provisional division began to board the ship, the sea voyage needed fresh water and food, the ship's space was occupied by a lot of fresh water, and it could not do its best to transport soldiers and equipment, but there was no such problem on the route from Dengzhou Military Port to Jinzhou Lushun, and those islands along the way were the best relay stations.

The five military battalions transferred from Dongchang Mansion took on the task of guarding the islands and ensuring the safety of these maritime military stations, which made Dengzhou Mansion amazed, and the landing in Liaodong was also a bloody battle, and the garrison islands were obviously safe and comfortable, but Chen Sheng, the general of the Zhao family's army, made his own battalion head suffer hardship, and those second-class battalion heads took refuge from the wind and enjoyed happiness, which was unique in Daming.

There was even some news that the generals of the second-class battalion gritted their teeth at this arrangement and desperately asked to join the war, but they were reprimanded, for the gentry and people of Dengzhou Mansion, such rumors were too absurd and nonsense, and naturally few people were willing to believe it.

Despite the momentum, the Zhao Jiajun did not even announce the date of departure to the world, the area around the port has been requisitioned by the army, and it is blocked outward, and there is no way for irrelevant people to enter, but the local Liao people still burn incense outside, or send wine and meat as a reward, just to do their part.

The four regiments of the First Brigade and each battalion and each team boarded the ship first, while the Second Knights Regiment stayed in Dengzhou Mansion to wait for news because it was too troublesome for the horses to get on the ship, and waited until the position was expanded over there, and then boarded the ship to meet up.

Starting from the sea route from Shandong to Liaozhen, there will always be a large number of shipwrecks in the documents and account books reported from the local government to the Ministry of War every year.

The capsizing of the ship and the massive loss of grain and military funds, but everyone knows that this is a trick on the accounts, and it is difficult to say whether the ship reported exists, but this capsizing and drifting trick is the way of making money for many people in the imperial court and the local government, and naturally no one has exposed it, and in the eyes of outsiders, the route from Dengzhou Military Port to Liaodong has become a dangerous road.

In fact, as long as the direction is not bad, there is no danger in this route, most of the time it is calm, and there are islands as relays, and even better, there is fresh water on the island, so when Zhao Jiajun is seriously preparing to cross the sea, no one says that there are any risks at sea.

"This is a bird's feather, what have the brothers experienced on the sea surface of the South Seas, watching the boat being thrown into the sky by the waves, holding the wood to survive, this place is similar to a pond, who said that the wind and waves here are big, it is shameless."

The people of the Zheng family and the Yu family are disdainful of this place, and the people at sea are often full of awe of the ocean, but they are not in awe of the shipping route between Liaodong and Shandong, and it is said that the foreigners in the fleet are even more mean to it, but they describe their experiences as if they are legends in the Classic of Mountains and Seas, what kind of circumnavigation and the like, it is unbelievable.

In this case, the ships replenished along the way, and arrived at Huangcheng Island smoothly, and then the fleet waited for a day between the large and small islands of the Huangcheng Island group, although there was a shortage of fresh water here, but the ships were still transported from Changshan Island and Dazhu Island, so it was not difficult.

During the waiting period, a ship brought back the news from the Jinzhou Lushun side, and the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses there really knew the movements here, so the team attacking the Jinzhou Lushun Ming army has increased to 7,000 people, and it is not easy to replenish the team from the core hinterland of Jianzhou in Shenyang and Liaoyang, and there may be more soldiers and horses on land, but at present there are only these 7,000.

After learning the news, the fleet set sail and continued to march towards Liaodong, there are no surprises to talk about here, the rest is the battle!

Compared with the first time the Xuzhou fleet came to Liaodong, the situation in Dongjiang Town was much better for the first generation of Jinzhou in southern Liaoning.

The Zhang Pan troops, who were originally pressed by the Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses in a corner of the sea, have already taken Jinzhou City, you know, when the fleet first came, Zhang Pan's troops were in the Lushun Fortress on the seaside and fought fiercely with the Jianzhou Jurchens.

Because of the trade between Xuzhou and Phi Dao, the strength of Dongjiang Town on Phi Dao became stronger, and it took the initiative to attack the border of Liaodong and eliminate a small group of Jianzhou Jurchen troops, resulting in the battalion head of Zhang Pansuo's department being transferred to the bank of the Yalu River, giving the remnants of the Ming army near Lushun in Jinzhou room to operate, absorb refugees, expand the team, and counterattack to take Jinzhou City and Fuzhou City.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, when the Jianzhou Jurchens sent nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to attack Phi Island, there were also 5,000 soldiers and horses here, the situation on Zhangpan's side looked very good, but in fact, it was spread out, once the Jianzhou Jurchens invested their strength, the Fuzhou on the flank could not resist immediately, and only the Jinzhou City by the sea could still be maintained.

With the city fortifications to rely on, the sea as a retreat and grain route, and the limited width of the Jinzhou Isthmus, which is similar to the rugged terrain on Phi Island, the Jianzhou Jurchen could not invest too much strength at one time, so Jinzhou City persevered.
