After resting in Golden State, Yellowstone went to visit Duncan, who was heroically wounded, and he sternly called Duncan's full-time position: "The Color-Eyed Army's Household Artillery Team has been added to the rank of Thousand Commanders Duncan." ”

Although lying on the bed, Duncan immediately accosted: "What does the general command?"

Huang Shi smiled and dispersed his previous expression: "Duncan, although you will abandon the six-pounder gun on the position without permission, I still want to reward you." ”

"I'm not abandoning my weapons, I'm directing my soldiers forward, not backward, and I'm making better use of my weapons, which is not a mistake in Tessie, and artillery is also the most proactive branch of the army. Duncan blushed and began to retort thickly, and his voice grew louder.

Huang Shi smiled and listened to his defense before he said slowly: "Duncan, you are a military household of the Ming Dynasty, and you are no longer Scotsman. The Ming Dynasty has the rules of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Seeing that Duncan was still arguing, Huang Shi immediately said: "I haven't finished talking yet, I haven't let you say anything now." He paused and continued: "But in my fire barracks, I will allow you to command the artillery as you wish, but you must write him down and show it to me. ”

Of course, Duncan agreed, but he couldn't write yet, so Huang Shi said that he would send him a clerk to listen to him: "In addition, your name will be written in the first position on the list of guarantees this time, and I guarantee that you will soon be officially appointed by my Ming Military Department and Dongjiang Town to become the general manager of Dongjiang Town." ”

"Finally, there is one thing that in the future, the members of the artillery crew will be treated as combat soldiers. Yellowstone smiled slyly, "It's good that Duncan's men can get one more fish from now on, right?"

"It's not a matter of a fish, of course the artillerymen are soldiers, I'm not ...... for a fish"

"I'm very understanding and understanding. Huang Shi smiled and comforted Duncan: "Don't say anything and have a good rest." ”

On the twenty-eighth day of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, Golden State. Yellowstone's temporary general's residence.

"The end will see your Excellency. The two immortal officers sang in unison.

Huang Shi waved his hand to let the two of them get up: "Slow bear seeks virtue." You've come just in time, so there's no need to be polite if there are no outsiders here. ”

"The last general congratulates the adults on their victory. Jin Qiude complimented him, and then talked about his opinion: "But at the moment, the three banners and Jiannu are entrenched in the battle of Nanguan, and they do not retreat or retreat, and the last general is afraid that they are waiting for reinforcements." ”

Saying that, Jin Qiude took out another plan and sent it away. In addition, there is the information that Li Yunrui has just gathered. In the past few days, Changsheng Island has lost a lot of manpower in order to collect intelligence, but everyone on Changsheng Island knows that the situation is urgent, so they can't manage it so much.

Huang Shi took the plan and information, looked at it for a long time, Jin Qiude and Zhao Slowxiong each found a wrench, sat on Huang Shi's left and right hands respectively, and after a long time, Huang Shi ended his contemplation, put down the report, and asked solemnly: "The staff team thinks that Jiannu will send more troops south?"

"Your Excellency. If Jiannu was willing to throw down a large number of flags, they would have thrown them down and ran away. Why sit back and wait for our army to recover. Jin Qiude talked eloquently, and Zhao Slowxiong also nodded vigorously.

"The red flag of southern Liaoning has been exhausted. Now they are also trapped in Nanguan by our army. The red flag was disabled by our firefighting battalion last year, and he is now recuperating from his injuries in Haizhou. If Jiannu wants to transfer troops to the south, then the only way to do this is to transfer the white flag of Shenyang. In this way, the western direction of Liaoxi will be empty. After Huang Shi finished speaking, he bit his lip and thought for a while, Guanning's 160,000 army was still on the front line of Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan. Moreover, when it is confirmed that the white flag is moving south, and then notify the Liaodong Metropolitan Governor, then the Guan Ning Army will not have time to react at all. Huang Shi hesitated and said: "It will take time for the Nanguan Three Banners to gather the remnants of the soldiers, maybe they will want to cover the unarmored soldiers and kill them hard." ”

Zhao Slowxiong immediately asked Huang Shi: "Do you think they can kill them?"

Before the voice of the question stopped, Huang Shi said categorically: "No way!"

It seems that he was lucky. Huang Shi explained with a wry smile: "But without definite news, I can't prove to Lord Sun that the White Flag will go south, and I can't persuade the Guanning Army to send troops at all." ”

"Maybe you can persuade Lord Sun to use a few troops to contain it?" Zhao Slowxiong also understood Huangshi's difficulties, and he also understood Sun Chengzong's difficulties, but he still had a glimmer of hope.

Huang Shi shook his head and said, "It's impossible." I have absolute confidence in your judgment, but the Liaodong Prefecture does not. What if we hastily send troops and end up with a white flag and do not go south? What if it is another big defeat, and who will bear the responsibility? We simply cannot afford it. ”

Zhao Slowxiong moved his butt on the stool, but still made his last effort without giving up: "But there are only fifteen Niulu and forty battalions of the Guanning Army with white flags. ”

"The forty battalions of the Guanning Army were all established by Lord Sun, and some of them were just built last year, and which of them had ever fought? Will you transfer troops, won't Jiannu transfer the two yellow flags back?" Huang Shi's stern rhetorical question made Zhao Slowxiong lower his head.

Since the defeat of Salhu, the formation of the Ming army's troops has suffered heavy losses, Xiong Tingbi withstood the pressure of the generals, scattered the veterans, led the new recruits, and rebuilt the 20 battalions and 60,000 troops in Shenyang and Liaoyang, as a result, Xiong Tingbi left office, this group of troops was wiped out in the first battle of Shenyang, and most of the generals were also killed.

By the time of the establishment of the army in Quang Ninh, ninety percent of the twenty field battalions of the 130,000 Ming army were recruits, and the last group of generals who dared to fight were also burned with them in the sand ridge fiasco. So when Wang was in Jin Jingluo and Liaodong, Wang Jingluo said nothing and refused to go out of Shanhaiguan.

Sun Chengzong has been self-made in recent years. Forty battalions of the Guanning Field Army, including eleven water battalions, were pulled out, but none of the soldiers who had been on the battlefield in a hundred had killed people on the battlefield, and there was probably not a single one in a thousand. Therefore, Sun Chengzong refused to cross the line of Ningyuan, but trained the soldiers wholeheartedly, planning to win by relying on more people in the future.

In the final analysis, Huang Shi was very dissatisfied with this method of military training, and he always firmly believed that the elite army was fought out, not raised. Huang Shi thought that the best way was to transfer the soldiers of the Guanning Army to southern and eastern Liaonan to serve as auxiliaries for the Dongjiang Army. After they have seen the battlefield and bloodshed, they will concentrate on training as field troops, and the officers and leaders of these armies are best led by veterans of the Dongjiang Army, and it is better if they are veterans who have been wounded and killed. Especially when he was injured, Huang Shi's personal experience is that killing people can train his courage, but since that injury, he feels that he has become stronger and more confident, which is very important for the growth of officers and soldiers.

Recalling the first time he led troops to fight in Golden State. Huangshi relied on veterans who had seen the battlefield and the dead in Lushun, so it was still a good fight. As a result, the recruits vomited on the battlefield. Since then, Huangshi has been more determined to rely on the idea that recruits should be brought by veterans, and the fire battalion is a veteran with a new recruit, which is stricter than the average Dongjiang Army veteran with seven or eight recruits. Most of these recruits in the fire battalion are also selected from the auxiliaries who go to the battlefield, and when they carry corpses and cut grades, Huangshi spits casually, as long as they don't go to the battlefield and drop the chain.

"The task of my Dongjiang Army is to contain Jiannu so that Jiannu has no time to attack Liaoxi. Now the three forts such as Songshan are now completed, and the imperial court has spent a million taels of silver for this purpose, and it has taken eight months. Huang Shi sighed and didn't continue, but his two subordinates understood what Huang Shi meant, and the imperial court was willing to allocate 240,000 taels of military salaries to Dongjiang last year, or because Huang Zhongse, a well-matched official of the household department, said good things, he said that Mao Wenlong "is not enough to control slaves, and there is more than enough slaves." Huang Zhongse's reason for convincing the cabinet was that the preservation of Dongjiang Town would allow the Guanning army to build fortresses with peace of mind, such as building fifty fortresses such as Ningyuan, which took three years. During this period, Liaodong was in flames, so Liaoxi has not been disturbed, if you ask for help at this juncture, I am afraid that the DPRK and China will say again: "Dongjiang is not a slave, but is led by a slave".

Although Huang Shi thought that it would be better for the Guanning army to come to southern Liaoning or go to eastern Liaodong to fight around, at least it would be better than building a fortress and eating military salaries in western Liaoning, but he also knew that this was not a problem that Sun Chengzong could solve. The Yang family, the Wu family, and the ancestral family of the Jiangmen clan in western Liaoxi all have tens of thousands of military households farming for their families. For hundreds of years, the children of their family have controlled the entire army of Guanning, and these military households are their private property, not to mention that they are unwilling to give it. Even Huangshi himself would never hand over the soldiers who had seen the battlefield in his hands, and he would not give even the auxiliaries. If the imperial court really wants to deprive the military households of the generals of Liaoxi, then before Houjin hits, his army will be in chaos first.

"If Jiannu sets a white flag and goes south, it will inevitably be Changsheng Island. Hum. I must be playing that trick again, if I do it once, will I do it a second time?" "Now that Huangshi has put aside his illusions, the current situation is very clear, if the Houjin army rushes to Jinzhou, then they will be fools, and neither Huang Taiji nor Mang Gurtai are fools.

After the three of them discussed it, the more feasible plan of the Jin side was to first weaken the field force of Jinzhou, and then rely on the deterrent power of the four banners to cover the retreat of the baggage, or simply let the inlaid white flag go south with the baggage, so that the three banners of Nanguan could escape lightly.

Isn't it just that if you want to attack me, you will be saved?" Huang Shi sneered: "Immediately order Yang Zhiyuan to chisel all the ice and let them come, I hope that all the Jiannu are winter swimmers." There is also a water battalion that immediately took a thousand auxiliary soldiers out of Changsheng Island, and then transported all the people from Nakajima back to Changsheng Island. ”

Without the water camp, it is impossible for the Jin army to cross the sea to attack Changsheng Island, and this water camp must also go to Nanxinkou by itself, so that the Houjin soldiers who grew up on horseback can board the boat for a few days, and then board the 6, that is, the dolls of Changsheng Island can also kill them. Therefore, Huangshi, they estimated that even if the ships of the Lushun Water Battalion were captured, there would be at most some Han sailors.

"Isn't there any news from the Lushun Water Camp yet?" Huang Shi thought of this, so he flipped through the report, and the Changsheng Island Water Camp desperately squeezed out the boat to search along the coast, hoping to send back the alarm in advance, for this reason, many people have disappeared in the ice sea, but there is still nothing on the report in Huang Shi's hand.

"No, maybe they will turn around and go back to Lushun and go to South Guam to transport the wounded soldiers and baggage. ”

"It's a possibility. Huang Shi sighed, there is no way to close this information hole. The Later Jin army relied on horses for maneuvering and reconnaissance, while the Ming army in southern Liaoning relied on sea transportation. There are too few horses in Jinzhou, and it is impossible for the cavalry to search too far, even if they forcibly search more coasts, it is unlikely that they will have the luck to run into the enemy's camp tent, but in vain they will reduce their grasp of nearby intelligence: "However, as long as the water camps of Hiroshima Island and Changshan Island reach our Changsheng Island, it will be foolproof." ”

On the twenty-ninth night of the first month of the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the mud puddle was cleared.

After nightfall, Houjin's fleet anchored on the shore, they were ordered to go west, and the day after they anchored at the designated place, they saw that the herald was already waiting there, and the urgent order they received was to immediately return east to the Nanjing Peninsula, although the herald refused to say more, but the anxious look showed that the battle situation seemed to have changed dramatically, and after a secret conversation with the Houjin officer who supervised it, the Hou Jin Niu Lu also unusually thundered, urging everyone to rush back.

For a while, the Han sailors who operated the boat in the water camp were whispering, and after Jin's overseer Niu Lu mercilessly killed the few people who were talking the loudest in private, this thunderous method immediately suppressed the whispers and re-stabilized the army's heart.

After anchoring tonight, most of the Han sailors were transferred ashore, and a dozen Houjin soldiers took turns guarding the berths of the boats, and only a few guards were left on the boats.

"Enemy attack. ”

When the Houjin guards on the shore saw that the ships were on fire, they pulled their necks and shouted, and when Houjin Niulu rushed out, most of the ships had been ignited, and he was left dumbfounded.

"My lord, our army slashed the fifteenth level, recaptured the two big ships, burned all the remaining sea ships, and a few Jiannu fell into the water and couldn't be found. ”

"It's a good level of merit, and it's time for my garrison to be upgraded. "The young general who was called an adult was named Mao Kexi, whose surname was Shang, and his biological father Shang Shouli was killed in battle with Zhenglan Banner, so Shang Kexi immediately led 300 people out of the water camp after receiving Huangshi's letter, and just happened to meet the Houjin fleet in Qingniwa (Luda).

The Houjin soldiers could not fight with the Dongjiang water camp at all, although these soldiers were selected, they could only barely survive seasickness on the sea. Plus the sneak attack didn't even have a chance to fight back. Looking at the strings of joy in front of him, Shang Kexi immediately ordered to move on, and disappeared into the vast sea in a blink of an eye: "Go to Changsheng Island immediately, we have to help General Huang Shen." ”
