Zhou Qingfeng withdrew to Haizhou at the end of February 1617, and Haizhou dug trenches and built military villages with the assistance of combat engineers. A relatively complete defense system has been constructed. After doing these things, he asked Xu Bing to sit here and take up the post of commander-in-chief of the battlefield, and mobilized two battalions of Gao Daniu, Li Yanxi and 5,000 reserve militia to garrison.

The infantry battalion of Wumen was stationed in Jinzhou, and they were also eyeing that Jiannu might be killed from the direction of Dandong. This battalion could not move. Zhou Qingfeng took away one of his cavalry companies, Han Shi's cavalry battalion, and Chai Jie's firearms battalion.

Among them, the firearms battalion is a special battalion specially designed to promote the status of women. In an era when female babies are drowned and the status of women is extremely low, a force composed entirely of women is extremely exemplary. Since the formation of this unit, countless stubborn feudal defenders have been mourned and criticized, and they are even more angry than they have seen the large use of female cadres in the 'revolutionary army'.

Before the founding of Taizu in later generations, the Chinese nation was repeatedly invaded by foreign enemies and experienced brutal civil wars, and the original feudal system was swept away. The humiliating recent history has made the Chinese extremely disgusted with any feudal dross, and compared to the rest of the world, our revolution is the most thorough - of course, the dregs have risen over the years, and there has been a resurgence of decadent ideas.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't have such a broken world for him to play freely, he could only see the direct physical destruction of the gentry class extremely violently, and he was determined to break the old world. First of all, it is necessary to change the social thinking of preference for sons over daughters, and fully liberate half of the social labor force and wisdom.

The apocalyptic battle at the end of the Ming Dynasty determined the fate of the Chinese nation for the next 400 years. Historically, we have lost very badly, and the price is that the whole nation has struggled in the abyss for 400 years. Others will not laugh at the Manchu Qing, which has disappeared, but only at the Chinese who crawled out of the abyss with scars.

See what happened to the Indians, the Mayans, the Aztecs. Look at the garbage in Africa that basks in diao when it's okay. Look at the countries and peoples in Asia, Africa and Latin America that have been praised by the West and are full of primitive ecology. The tragedy of the loser is vivid.

"This combat mission is very important, the enemy is overwhelmed by a large army, and has an absolute numerical superiority. In order to disrupt the enemy's attack, I decided to attack the heart of the enemy and lead the formation of female soldiers to attack. Let those officials tremble when they hear the sound of gunfire, let those stubborn gentlemen die under bayonets, and let those ignorant and conservative people see a completely different world.

I know that women are physically ill for high-intensity combat. But I believe that you are not ordinary female soldiers, and that you are burdened with the responsibility of revitalizing an ancient nation. This is a heavy burden that you have to pay for with your lives.

All I can do is share this great and glorious task with you. Come with me and go to battle! ”

A few days before Yang Hao and Yang Jingluo held a mobilization meeting, Zhou Qingfeng also held a much smaller, but far-reaching mobilization meeting in Lushun. The highlight of the convention was the Musket Battalion, which numbered only 500 people, an all-female force.

Because the number of young women with good physical fitness is too small, most of the adult women in the hundreds of thousands of people are only about 1.4 meters in size, and almost all of them are malnourished. Their living conditions are worse than those of men, and their social status is lower.

In order to give full play to the abilities of half of the population in society, Zhou Qingfeng tried his best to gather 500 female soldiers. Since spring steel cannot be made at present, flintlock pistols are still a luxury. However, after Zhao Ze got a hydraulic drilling machine, he still provided Zhou Qingfeng with 500 arquebuses.

In the past six months, these female soldiers have been desperately eating and exercising, growing taller, and gaining weight. Their average age is only 16 years old, and there is a possibility that they will grow up again. Many female soldiers have really gained five or six centimeters in half a year, and their weight has increased by more than ten kilograms. Many female soldiers enlist in the army because they are thin and can be blown away by a gust of wind, and now they have a bright face and ruddy skin.

The female soldiers of the 'Revolutionary Army' are known as the guards of the Guards, and many of them show extreme loyalty when they enlist in Yingkou. Zhou Qingfeng asked them to kill people and set fires, and they didn't frown. They are the most desperate on the training ground, if it weren't for the regulations in the training syllabus, they would have trained themselves to death a lot - those who have been reborn can burst out with strong combat effectiveness.

Zhou Qingfeng said this time that he would attack the heart of the enemy and show his strength to the world. These female soldiers are even more fanatical than the male soldiers, and they are so excited that they are willing to paint their hearts and minds for their ideals.

Before the end of winter, the 'revolutionary army' confirmed from multiple sources that the Ming army would attack the two prefectures at the beginning of spring. The Ming army is now with the sieve, and a little news will fly all over the sky. It's hard for Zhou Qingfeng to think about it - the idiot Yang Hao actually sent a letter of surrender to the 'revolutionary army' before sending troops.

The surrender book lists in detail the strength of the Ming army, the generals, the attack plan, and even the date. Yang Hao's meaning in writing this surrender book is to show off his strength and tell Zhou Qingfeng - I am very good, and I have a lot of younger brothers. You can't beat it, surrender quickly!

Zhou Qingfeng has long been prepared for this situation - you hit yours, I beat mine. Do you dare to hit my Haizhou and Gaizhou? I'll go to fight your Tianjin, enter Tongzhou, and look at the capital. I think your emperor is annoyed? No matter how much you have an egg to use, you still have to give me the right way back from Shanhaiguan to King Qin? When the time comes, the fat will drag the thin, and the thin will drag to death, so I ask you if you are afraid?

Mobilization is complete, all on board!

The shipyards of the 'Revolutionary Army' have not yet been able to start building large ships, but Xu Bing has collected forty or fifty ships with more than 1,000 materials, and has the ability to deliver 2,000 men and horses and equipment across the sea at one time.

The attack plan was divided into two parts, and the containment plan was completed by Li Shuwei. He will take 2,000 militiamen to cross the sea to Dengzhou in the name of doing business, and completely cut off the Ming army's Denglai Naval Division—although the Denglai Naval Division has long been in tatters, it still cannot be left aside. After taking Denglai, be wary of any Ming troops coming from the direction of Shandong.

The main attack plan was led by Zhou Qingfeng himself, and the total number of soldiers and auxiliaries was only about 1,800, and the troops were extremely capable. A militia auxiliary unit of 5,000 men will follow. After boarding the ship, the main force sailed to Tianjin, drifted on the sea for two days, and appeared peacefully in the open sea of Tianjin Port.

Wang Kai's Commerce and Trade Section purchased a wharf in Tianjin and installed a large number of cargo hoisting equipment. Wang Kunpeng's security department even has a large amount of funds to infiltrate Tianjin Wei, and there are special personnel responsible for responding to Zhou Qingfeng. When the ship arrived in Tianjin, the Tianjin sailors didn't react at all - no one expected Zhou Qingfeng to be so bold that he would directly lead his troops to kill.

On such a gray and foggy morning, a large fleet of ships was silently about to dock. Zhou Qingfeng stood on the bow of the ship and looked at the direction of the Tianjin Acropolis, the vicissitudes of the sea for 400 years, the coastline of this place is completely different from that of later generations. The guide of the Ministry of Security, who was in charge of guiding the route, pointed to a mound of earth on the coast and said, "Young marshal, that is Dagukou." ”

Zhou Qingfeng looked up at a big earth mountain at the mouth of the Haihe River and asked, "Is there anyone up there?" ”

The guide smiled, "There are people, but they are all our people. It's still very cold now, and the soldiers of the guard don't come out so early in the morning. ”

The Tianjin Acropolis is still nearly fifty kilometers away from the coastline. The course of the Haihe River was narrow and crooked, and there was no way for Zhou Qingfeng's fleet to enter calmly. Therefore, the plan for this attack on Tianjin was to dock at the port wharf, and then go straight to Dagukou, occupy this coastal fortress, and then head inland.

Later Western powers launched attacks on the Manchus from the sea, and every time they came to attack Dagukou. This also proves that the fort at Dagukou is very important. After the 'revolutionary army' came over, they also aimed at this place as a landing site.

When the first ship docked, Ye Na took Zhou Qingfeng's pro-army as a strong force to kill the fort at Dagukou to ensure control of that key point. More than 20 cranes installed on the wharf were specially prepared for this landing operation. A large number of men and horses landed from the gangway, and the staff officers of the attacking troops controlled the entire battle according to a pre-prepared plan.

Qiao Xuenian stood on the shore and trembled nervously, holding a schedule in his hand, always checking the disembarkation process of the entire army. When to arrange for that unit to go ashore, this is planned. However, ships sail at sea and arrive at the pier in order. In addition, the current communication is not convenient, and the people on the dock shout and neigh, and chaos is inevitable.

The staff officers were responsible for correcting and correcting the confusion, and controlled the rapid assembly of troops ashore. They all have local guides hired by the Ministry of Security to guide them towards their respective goals. The first thing that the attacking troops went ashore was to take control of the entire port of Tianjin, and to delay the leakage of information as much as possible.

The Tianjin Maritime Yamen near the port was controlled at the first time. The soldiers of the guard station had no idea what was going on, and they gave them a full meal, and instead they worked for the 'revolutionary army'. It's like doing odd jobs for wealthy businessmen like Wang Kai on weekdays - today's meal has a lot of oil and water, and they work harder.

Wang Kai panted and appeared in front of Zhou Qingfeng sweating profusely. An hour before the arrival of the attacking troops, a small boat docked to deliver the news of the capture of Tianjin to him. Only then did he realize why there had been a series of organizations to control the coolie soldiers of the docks, and even a plan to prepare meals and pacify the natives.

"Young Marshal, Wang Kai, the head of the Commerce and Trade Section, reports to you." Wang Kai's short and fat figure straightened his waist in front of Zhou Qingfeng, and this appearance was extremely funny. But when he saw that everyone else was like this, so was he—it felt really good to straighten his waist. It was even better to go ashore with this army, and it was extremely exciting.

"Wang Kai, you did a good job in Tianjin, this is what you have to do." Zhou Qingfeng took his own pro-army and staff officers ashore and set up a temporary headquarters. He patted Wang Kai on the shoulder and smiled thickly, "The list I asked you to prepare, are you ready?" ”

"Ready." Wang Kai's heartbeat accelerated uncontrollably, and he took out a thin booklet from his arms and handed it to Zhou Qingfeng solemnly.

Zhou Qingfeng took it and flipped through it casually. A copy of this list was handed over to him a few days ago, and he flipped through it again and returned it to Wang Kai, and said with a smile: "The life and death of the hundreds of people on this list will be decided by you, Section Chief Wang."

For those who are extremely angry and corrupt, they will be arrested, their homes will be raided, tried, and executed. For those who are not too much at fault and can be co-opted and used, they will be given preferential treatment and appeasement. For those who are famous and have a good reputation, but refuse to cooperate, they will be placed under house arrest. ”

There are more gentry in Tianjin than in the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and it is an important town in the north, a place of economic prosperity, and a deeply intertwined force. It is inappropriate to eradicate them all, but it is even more inappropriate to blindly connive at them -- killing a group, scaring a group, and suppressing a group is a policy that has been formulated a long time ago.

As for who is good and who is bad among these people, Zhou Qingfeng, who is far away in Liaodong, does not know. The history books do not record these contents, and in addition to the investigation of Wang Kunpeng of the Ministry of Security, the fate of these people is the various reports written by Wang Kai, a dead fat man, every day.

The people who can be written on the list by Wang Kai are not ordinary people, and he doesn't have time to make sycophants on weekdays. Today he held the list in his hand, and his fat face was trembling with joy - it turns out that money is a ball, and the feeling of being powerful is really good. All kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, now you kneel at my feet and shout 'Master'.

The news of Zhou Qingfeng's capture of Dagukou came a day later, and the officials and gentry from all walks of life in Tianjin felt that it was a joke. When this joke spread to the capital, Flat Feather flapped his wings and flew into Guo Jiao's boudoir, and shouted: "Miss, get up quickly." Zhou Qingfeng's kid is here to make trouble! ”

Guo Jiao fell asleep on the bed on all fours, and when she heard the news, she turned over and sat up, and said with a smile: "This girl has been waiting for him for more than half a year, and that bastard boy is finally here." Did he get into a catastrophe as soon as he came, and the whole city was boiling and out of control? ”

Flat hair nodded and said, "Yes, he broke into too much trouble this time, the kind that pierced the sky." ”

Guo Jiao slapped her face and laughed: "I knew that this guy was a scourge and wouldn't let people live in peace wherever he went." Let's talk about it quickly, did he beat up that rich businessman with a deep background? ”

Flatfur shook his head .......

"Could it be that he beat the prince and prince of the capital?"

Flatfur shook his head again......

"He can't clean up the princes and relatives of the dynasty, right?"

Flat hair still shook his head .......

Guo Jiao became confused and asked, "Then what kind of disaster did he do?" ”

"That kid is here with troops."

"What with the troops?"

"It's the kind of soldier who fights, he conquered Tianjin Dagukou yesterday, and it is said that he will soon take Tianjin Wei. This will shock everyone in the government and the opposition, and the people of the capital will panic. The entire Beizhili was like a thunderbolt, and everyone was stupid by him. ”

Guo Jiao suddenly fell into a stupor, and after a while, she jumped off the bed and shouted frantically: "I asked him to come to the capital to make trouble, so that he could come alone." I didn't let him bring the troops. After a second, she leaned down in extreme fear and lowered her voice: "Flat hair, don't tell my father about this." If my father knew that I asked Zhou Xiaozi to come, he would beat me to death. ”

Well, ......, Guo Budo's cough has already reached the door.

It's over, it's self-inflicted!

Miss Guo suddenly collapsed, and she didn't dare to open the door and collapsed on the ground crying; "Dad, I let that kid make trouble. But I didn't expect that kid to be so bold to bring troops. I can't blame my daughter, woo woo woo ......, I really didn't mean to! ”
