Chapter 0329: Back to Camp
The raid on Wanghai Fort lasted for a day and a night, and Zhou Qingfeng deliberately observed the situation of the recruits in the guards. The discipline is still good, but it still needs to be tempered in terms of cooperation. This is the first operation after the large-scale expansion of the Guards, and many recruits have only been training for a month, so it is very good to be in such a state. Previously trained veterans and backbones have played an important leading role.
Veterans really matter!
"Let's go, return to Yingkou." Zhou Qingfeng was in a good mood. I feel that as long as I train for another three or four months, the new recruits will be able to become veterans again, and then they can expand their ranks again. "The Tianjin Navy Division contributed five big ships, the pirates contributed one, and I contributed one. Hehehe...... seven big ships can send thousands of troops to the outside world at one time. Bohai Bay will become my bath tub in the future. ”
Seven large ships pulled dozens of small boats and set sail out to sea, and the Wanghai Fort on land was completely destroyed, leaving only scorched earth. Zhou Qingfeng came this time to establish his authority, and he would take prisoners if he could capture them, and all those who resisted would be executed. In last night's attack, the Guards crushed a large number of pirates who had gathered here in the form of massacre, and finally pulled out hundreds of corpses to be burned.
Not long after Zhou Qingfeng left, Gaizhouwei's men and horses regained this place again. Yang Yuwei, who fled in a daze last night, was crying heartbroken. Not only did he die a nephew, but he also exterminated a force, and his voice in Gaizhou will be greatly reduced in the future. No matter how much he gambled and swore revenge, others looked at him like an old dog waiting to die.
However, Luo Lie and Ouyang Jun, who were almost caught by Zhou Qingfeng last night, were even more eye-catching. The bureaucrats at all levels in Gaizhou did not take Zhou Qingfeng seriously before, but now they have tasted the sharpness of the 'revolutionary army', and they are terrified for a while. They all ran to these two children of Jingshi, who were said to have a very deep background, and prayed for a quick report to the imperial court and the transfer of soldiers and horses to exterminate the rebels.
It's just that the two people who originally rushed to Liaodong and wanted to make contributions were a little interested at the moment. Ouyang Jun didn't care, at most, he was scared enough by the 'Road Rageper' last night, and he made up his mind in the future to hide away when he saw that mechanical monster, and he didn't come close.
Luo Lie can feel the huge gap in strength between himself and the 'Road Tyrant', this gap is just like the strength comparison between him and Gao Da Niu, which is difficult to cross. "How can this Zhou's anti-thief be so strong? He has such skills and can serve the court, why should he be a thief? ”
"What's so good about serving the court? Are you and me being called around by Ma Gonggong like this? Ouyang Jun looked at the sea, "In the first battle yesterday, the people of Gaizhou Wei have already sent someone to deliver news to the imperial court. I also wrote a secret report and handed it to Grandpa Ma. Next, I don't want to go to Liangfangkou, so I'll stay in Gaizhou ...... for the time being. No, Gaizhou is too close to Liangfangkou, I want to go to Jinzhou, go to Lushun and wait for news. ”
Go to Liangfangkou? Don't say that Ouyang Jun is unwilling to go, and Luo Lie is also unwilling to go. The 'Road Rage' that came out of the darkness last night gave him a great psychological shock. Such a powerful mechanical monster is definitely stronger than Ma Gonggong in the East Factory, shouldn't it be a master? But it actually did something like a silent sneak attack. If it weren't for Ouyang Jun's warning, he would definitely be unlucky?
In the face of a powerful and shameless opponent, Luo Lie was also afraid that he would die before he could get out of school, and it was better to hide away. Regarding Ouyang Jun's proposal, he also nodded and responded: "I will go to Lushun with you, and I will say that the two of us can't defeat that gang of thieves, and I want Gonggong Ma to send more masters." I heard him say that he claimed to be 'the best in the world' before, and I was still very unconvinced,......。 ”
"And now?"
"Probably only a few old monsters in Ouchi can compete with it, anyway, I can't."
Luo Lie and Ouyang Jun retreated within three days of coming, and Zhou Qingfeng also returned to Yingkou with a huge fleet. The human-faced demon passed the news of his victory to Xu Bing in advance, and when he led the team to dock, there was a lively welcoming crowd by the dock - just looking at the big ship that was slowly approaching like a hill, anyone would feel that the strength of the 'revolutionary army' was a little stronger.
"We can move, complete the last journey of our power migration, and go to Lushun." The first thing Zhou Qingfeng did when he got off the ship was to announce that this long-planned operation was about to come to an end.
Seven ships can transport about 1,000 people at a time, and can also carry two or three hundred tons of cargo, and they can run back and forth in four days. It will take about a month and a half to transport the entire 'revolutionary army'. It still seems to take a long time, but it is much safer than taking the road route. Especially now that the bandits on the west side of the entire Liaodong Peninsula have suffered a big loss, they are no longer able to come out and make trouble.
Xu Bing gave Zhou Qingfeng a big hug, and he was finally relieved. As long as Lushun is captured, the 'revolutionary army' can attack and retreat. Both internal development and external expansion will be easy. However, when she was hugging, she whispered in Zhou Qingfeng's ear: "I have not very good news to tell you here?" ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou Qingfeng has not left Yingkou for a while, because he is afraid that something will happen to the base. This time, in order to seize the ship, he also went back as quickly as possible, and did not dare to delay in the slightest. But now when he returns, there is still bad news waiting for him.
Xu Bing turned sideways. A stout man came from behind, knelt down on one knee and shouted to Zhou Qingfeng: "Leader Zhou, Shenyang Han Shi brought people to vote, please take them in." ”
Han Shi played a game of 'guilt and petition' in Fushun before, but after learning that Zhou Qingfeng was going to rebel, he returned to Shenyang and said that he wanted to pick up his family. Zhou Qingfeng didn't care if he was true or not, anyway, let him go. And now this person appeared again, but it made Zhou Qingfeng frown, "Something happened in Shenyang, right?" ”
Han Shi suddenly burst into tears, and cried: "Five days ago, the Nu Chief led troops to attack. Li Weihan, the governor of Liaodong, fled to Liaoyang, and the dragons of Shenyang were leaderless, and the city was broken in two days. And all the people of the city were taken by the slave chiefs. After the Jurchen soldiers entered the city, they burned, killed and looted, and the whole city was killed and wounded. Wives are separated, families are broken, and people die everywhere. ”
After speaking, Han Shi was already crying, "This hatred and hatred will never be forgotten." ”
Xu Bing approached Zhou Qingfeng and added: "Nurhachi's attack came without warning, Shenyang fell too quickly, and few people in the city escaped. At present, a large number of Han people around Shenyang are fleeing, and Han Shi came from the waterway, and like us, he cut wood to make rafts and went down the river. However, these people were completely unprepared on the way to escape, and their situation was extremely miserable. ”
History has changed dramatically.
The original Battle of Fushun took place in 1618. The Ming army tossed for half a year, transferred troops from all over the country and counterattacked Salhu in 1619, but was defeated. In 1621, Nurhachi came to attack Shenyang and Liaoyang again. It's only 1616, and the appetite for wild boar skins is much greater. It has been less than a month since he took Fushun, and he immediately marched into the army to sweep the surrounding area of Fushun, and now he has taken Shenyang.
Aggressive!
The city of Shenyang is broken, and Liaoyang can't hold on for long.
Zhou Qingfeng asked Han Shi to accept the placement, and he quickly returned to the headquarters, staring at the map hanging on the wall in a daze. Xu Bing said in a deep voice behind him: "There are a large number of refugees coming towards us right now, and I have already accompanied people along the river to meet them. It's good to say that the river will always send people over, and you should not die of hunger for two or three days. But those who come by land are troublesome. ”
At this moment, a large number of people who have fled are helping the old and the young to stay away from the disaster. But many people don't know where to flee, they just blindly hide.
Xu Bing continued: "Han Shi not only brought a hundred of his subordinates, but also a large number of relatives and vassals along the way, more than a thousand people. I broke them up and reorganized some of them on horseback to send the message north that the displaced people could take refuge with us. ”
Zhou Qingfeng's establishment of the Yingkou base has the intention of accepting the population, and a large number of refugees will come next, which will be another test. Fortunately, the 'revolutionary army' is about to occupy Lushun for great development, and a population of 10,000 is certainly not enough, and it is imperative to obtain a large number of young people.
"Do we have enough food?"
"Enough, 13,000 tons of grain were shipped out of Fushun. Among them, Li Yongfang alone contributed 10,000 tons. This amount of grain is enough to feed more than 100,000 people in a short period of time. I made a plan, it is still more than enough to contain 50,000 people, 70,000 people is a little difficult, and 100,000 people are the limit. The main thing is that managers will not be able to keep up with demand. ”
"What about medicines?"
"Medicines are in short supply. We also have some future broad-spectrum antimicrobial drugs that can be diluted in large quantities. However, no matter how diluted it is, it is difficult to meet the needs of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. ”
"Where's the silver tael?"
"We still have reserves of more than 100,000 taels of silver. This money seems like a lot, but it's not enough at all. Do you remember that we spent 50,000 taels on better magic armor? I spent so much money and bought only a hundred pairs. Now the armor of the army is not matched. The flow of refugees to the north is mixed with a large number of Liaodong officials and gentry, so don't let them go. ”
"Looks like we're going to need to get more supplies." After a brief conversation with Xu Bing, Zhou Qingfeng looked at the map and scanned it back and forth, "We have to snatch resources from Nurhachi, and we can't let him easily snatch the materials and population from all over Liaodong." ”
"What do you want to do?"
"I want to take the two cities of Haizhou and Gaizhou, and loot the population, money and food of these two places. After all, these two places are very close to us. In the process of our sea transportation, it is not too big for them to jump out, so it is better to knock them out first. Then ....... ”
Zhou Qingfeng was about to make up his mind to fight, and the guards outside the command shouted 'report' loudly, "My lord, that Li Beiyu from Liangfangkou Pass is here, saying that he has something important to see. ”
Preparation for the Liangfang Pass? Sang Wen's guide to Wanghai Fort was provided by the other party. Zhou Qingfeng asked suspiciously: "What is the matter with him?" Don't bother me if it's okay, let him get away. ”
The guards immediately turned around and went out, but after a while they came back and reported: "My lord, Li Beiyu said that he came to the labor army, and he also inquired about the news for the commanders of the two guards of Haizhou and Gaizhou, and wanted to ask for personal favors. He also said that as long as the sword soldiers are not used, everything is easy to talk about. ”
"I just called Lookout Fort when they came." Zhou Qingfeng frowned at first, and then sneered: "This desire to survive is very strong, I was trying to sweep these two cities, and they immediately sent people to negotiate." ”
Xu Bing also sank his face and snorted coldly: "It can be discussed, it depends on what conditions they can come up with." They used to see us as fat sheep, but now they put themselves on the chopping board and handed us the knife. It's really hard to stab them a few more times. ”
