Chapter 140: Lushun Cannon Rang Out

"How urged Hong Chengchou was back then, and how Sun Chuanting was pressed. Now, the emperor wants to open it? Li Banghua slandered.

Of course, Zhu Youjian knew what role Chongzhen played in the previous defeats.

If it weren't for Chongzhen's repeated urging of the army, even if Hong Chengchou would not win, he would not have been wiped out.

If Chongzhen hadn't pressed Sun Chuanting to send troops step by step, the situation in Shaanxi and Gansu would definitely not get out of control, which eventually led to the destruction of the Qin soldiers and the death of Sun Shuai.

Zhu Youjian would not make the same mistake.

The situation of sea-crossing operations is constantly changing, and there is no basis for fighting a stubborn and dumb battle, and what is needed is to wait for the opportunity to move and be flexible and changeable.

Seeing the expressions of Li and Fan, Chongzhen was very embarrassed, but there was no way, his own character had already penetrated into the hearts of the courtiers. Even if he has made reversed changes in the past few months, it is difficult to change his image quickly.

"Two generals, let go of your hands and feet, boldly advance, boldly burn and loot, if anyone in the court is impeached, I will help you bear it!" Chongzhen Road.

Fan Jingwen shrunk his neck, slandered his belly, Chongzhen was responsible, who believed it?

If Chen Xinjia knew something, he would have hissed and shouted: "I don't believe it anyway." ”

Chongzhen waved his hand, and Tian Shouxin hurriedly passed a secret decree to Zheng Sen.

"This is my secret decree to authorize the two of you to act with full authority and wantonly burn the land and property of the Jianguo army and civilians, and plunder the money and grain of the Jianguo. If someone criticizes it in the future, you can come up with it to prove your innocence! ”

Zheng and Zhang listened to it and knew that it was Chongzhen who loved him, so they were so moved that they knelt down again to thank him.

Zhang Huangyan thought to himself, the emperor loves himself so much, if someone is impeached at that time, he will risk ruining his reputation, and he will also protect the emperor's reputation.

Zheng Sen meditated, I must let this secret decree rot in my own hands and never manifest in the world.

Seeing the two of them looking like this, Chongzhen struck while the iron was hot: "Zheng Sen and Zhang Huangyan listened to the seal." ”

The two looked up.

"The 600 rifle cavalry department, named the Dragon Fighting Squad, all the officers were promoted to the general flag, and Zhang Huangyan was appointed as the general commander and commanded the whole army. The deputy general manager and general manager of the department shall be appointed by the general manager himself. ”

"The 6,000 infantry of the Liao Expedition were named the Fulong Squad of the Flying Dragon Army, and all the officers were promoted to Xiaoqi, and Zheng Sen was appointed as a general to command the whole army."

"The first division of the Fujian Navy, given the name Canglong Army, stationed in Lushun. Zheng Zhibao served as a general and commanded the whole army. ”

Chongzhen finished speaking slowly and looked at the two quietly.

"Emperor Xie, the ministers will go to the soup for the country, and the liver and brain will be smeared to the ground, in order to respect our lord Longen!"

……

Five days later, Zheng Sen and the others finished preparing and set sail east in Tianjin.

……

The Liaodong Peninsula was originally the territory of the Zhengbai Banner, but because of the fall of Dolgon, Haoge broke up and reorganized the Zhengbai Banner, and this grain treasure has become the territory of the Zhenglan Banner.

As a close confidant of Haoge, Heluohui was appointed here to preside over the overall situation, and is currently sitting in Fuzhou.

And the traitor is still happy to sit in Haizhou.

Garrisoned in Lushun were the surrendered Han generals Meng Qiaofang and Jianguo Ganduhai.

On this day, Meng Qiaofang inspected the city defense as usual, and looked at Lushun Bay, which was rarely stormy, and he yawned.

It doesn't matter if the master is a white flag or a blue flag.

He felt that it was good to be a local emperor in Lushun, which was better than the bandits and captives who ran around in the Ming Dynasty.

Although there is still a Ganduhai counterbalance above, it is much easier than the days before the surrender.

There are only 600 garrisons here, but there are more than 300 blue flag leather armor soldiers, and most of the people around are also Han Chinese, less than 3,000 people, but there are tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.

Since the fall of the Northern Naval Division of the Ming Dynasty, Lushun has become a safe haven, and there has been no war in the past ten years.

Because of safety, two years ago, even the boats that go out to sea for daily patrols have been recovered, and if they go to sea, it is nothing more than fishing to improve their lives.

Compared with the predicament of the Central Plains, where there are many people and few places, and there are constant wars, this place can be described as a paradise.

Over the years, Meng Qiaofang has gained a lot of weight.

"Huh?"

Meng Qiaofang looked at the horizon of the Southeast Sea, and a huge sail faintly appeared.

"There are boats! There are big ships in the southeast! A soldier shouted.

Only then did Meng Qiaofang be convinced that it was not his own delusion.

I saw that the ship was very large and had many sails, and it didn't look like a sailor of the Ming army.

From a distance, it looks like they are floating on the sea at will, but Meng Qiaofang knows that the speed of these ships is quite fast, and he believes that within a stick of incense, they can sail to the periphery of Arthur Bay.

The shouts of the soldiers alarmed Ganduhai in the city, and he hurriedly trotted over, squinting into the distance.

"Meng Qiaofang, whose ship is that?"

Seeing that the master asked, Meng Qiaofang hurriedly replied: "Although the Ming Kingdom should not have enough financial resources to build such a huge ship, but now in the northern part of the Ming Sea, only the Ming Kingdom can have such a warship. ”

When Ganduhai heard this, he immediately shouted: "Blow the trumpet, go up to the city wall, and meet the enemy!" ”

The heralds hurriedly galloped into the city, and in a moment the horn sounded, and all 600 soldiers rushed to the top of the city and looked at the sea.

As the minutes passed, the scene on the sea became clearer and clearer.

The soldiers who had been in a leisurely life for a long time were not nervous at first, but at this time, they were all anxious.

Because everyone saw clearly, more than 30 huge ships were sailing on the sea, and the regimental dragon flag flying high was declaring war on Jianyu.

At the head of the city, the gunners began to load gunpowder, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty began to place antlers on the seashore, and at the same time connected the boats and other objects with iron chains, and the soldiers hid in the rear in order to prevent the Ming army from landing.

The cavalry calling for help had already galloped to Jinzhou and Fuzhou.

The guards also picked up the bird guns from the Ming Dynasty.

Ganduhai yelled at the defenders:

"Haha, the cowards of the Ming Kingdom are here to send us their military exploits, brothers, we will kill the enemy to our heart's content, and we will truthfully send our military exploits to Fuzhou, and ask for merit for everyone!"

"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”

The sound of killing in Lushun City shook the sky and the morale was full.

In the past ten years, Jianyu has repeatedly defeated the Ming Dynasty, and the soldiers are not afraid of the Ming army at all, and when they hear the master shouting, their emotions are instantly aroused.

"There are still 50 steps to go, ready to fire!" Meng Qiaofang drank.

More than ten years ago, Chongzhen invited Portuguese artillerymen to teach the Ming army to use artillery, and trained many excellent artillerymen.

Meng Qiaofang is one of the best, at this time, he can judge the range only by his eyesight, and he is full of confidence waiting for the fighter.

Bang bang bang......

As soon as Meng Qiaofang's words fell, the guns of the Ming warships rang out.

"Hmph, I can't imagine that the Ming army is still so weak, what is the use of firing artillery at such a distance, it seems that they dare not approach the coast." Meng Qiaofang muttered to herself.

Bang!

Just as Meng Qiaofang was muttering to himself, a cannonball exploded a hundred paces away from him, blowing up the flesh and blood of the captives there, and the order at the head of the city was in chaos.

"What? Why did the Ming artillery have such a long range! ”

Without waiting for the captives to restore order, more ships reached range.

There were fifty or sixty guns roaring at the same time.

Bang bang bang......

For a time, whether it was the beachhead by the sea or the city wall, there were fires everywhere!

On the battleship, Zheng Zhibao laughed, "I didn't expect that Jianyu was so lax, and the hill that the Military Aircraft Department originally planned to attack had no defenders, so it was so easy for us to break into the bay." ”
