"What? Shen Gong is about to be promoted to the head of the Nanjing household department of the Ming Dynasty? Even his eldest son is already a governor? ”

After listening to Zheng Chenggong's advocacy of the Shen family, Li Yu on the other side was directly shocked.

Originally, he just had the mentality that "his father sent his concubine to pretend to be his sister-in-law as a hostage was about to be exposed, and he had to pretend that the war did not disappear", and he casually voted for a Ming general, and he didn't expect to be able to vote for any awesome acquaintances at all.

He chatted with Shen Lian for so long just now, and Shen Lian was modest, and he didn't deliberately show off his official position as a master and young master, so that Li Yu was kept in the dark.

Zheng Chenggong couldn't understand why Li Yu was so shocked, and asked with a playful face: "What?" Do you think Shen Jiaguan has done too much? ”

Li Yu hurriedly paused and admitted his mistake: "No, no, no...... That's not what it meant, just a little surprised. The last general didn't know much about the recent situation of the Ming Dynasty, but he heard his father occasionally mention that when Shen Gong abandoned business to enter politics, it seemed that he was only a master for many years.

Since Chongzhen ten years later, our trade between North Korea and Daming has turned private, and then my father has not understood it again, and now I think about it, it is really gratifying. ”

Zheng Chenggong and Shen Lian were both curious when they heard it, confirmed it again, and finally knew what was going on.

Ten years after Chongzhen, didn't North Korea be invaded by the Qing State and become a vassal country, so from then on, the official trade between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty had to be cut off, and the Shen family was reluctant to use this trade route, so they had to turn into a secret trade that was like a smuggler.

In the period of official trade on the bright side, boasting about your official position in the Ming Dynasty is helpful, so that the other party will not dare to ask you for a card, and you can also get a preferential purchase price or even tax reduction.

When the shopkeeper of the Shen family arrived in North Korea, he said a lot, "My lord is the head of a certain department of the Ming Household Department."

But since the switch to private trade, this kind of putting on a show has no value.

Because it will only be exchanged for a sentence "You use the official position of the Ming Dynasty to come to the subject countries of the Qing Dynasty to ask for trade preferences, you are so powerful."

In the past five years, every time the shopkeeper of the Shen family went to North Korea, he was a low-key person and did things. On the North Korean side, the perception of Shen Tingyang's official position is also fixed in the expired information five years ago.

However, Shen Shuren only crossed over three years ago, and his father's official position was also led by "one person to attain the Tao, immortals, and chickens and dogs" from three years ago.

In just three years, from the main person to the Langzhong to the Nanjing household servant, it is now very likely that he will be promoted to Shangshu.

When this news is synchronized again to the North Koreans who have been "disconnected for five years", it must not be shocked for several years.

"It seems that I am really lucky, I actually randomly defected to the enemy and took refuge in such a powerful general, as long as I remain incognito in the next few years, there should be no problem."

Li Yu was secretly worried, and he was also determined to seize the opportunity to show his combat strength.

And his chance to perform was not long in coming.

……

The time soon came to the sixth day of the third month.

Originally, the Ming army, which was only planned to be stationed in Beacon Hill for a few hours, finally found that the enemy could not do anything about them for the time being, so they were actually stationed for more than a day and a half.

and collected the remnants of Cao Bianjiao and Li Fuming's troops who had escaped one or two thousand years ago.

By the way, I will slightly repair the warship damaged by the fierce battle with Kong Youde last night, and then reload and unload the equipment on the North Korean ship to the Ming warship, and then send the North Korean ship that is not suitable for cross-sea voyages back to Shanhaiguan to Cao Bianjiao.

It takes time to do all this. And the delay time is just convenient for Cao Bianjiao and them to explain the fake account:

"Originally, there were still thousands of people in your rear army who had not been brought back, and they should be allowed to return to the team. But in fact, because he repelled another improvised surprise attack by Kong Youde, killed thousands of enemies, and withstood another wave of Azig land attacks. As a result, most of these soldiers were lost. ”

Therefore, Cao Bianjiao and others don't have to wait for their rear army, which no longer "exists", at least disappearing from the books.

While making false accounts to Cao, Li and other generals, Zhang Mingzhen also used this day to do intense reform and persuasion work on the soldiers of Cao's and Li's old troops.

It is impossible for the Shen family fleet to bring too much gold and silver this time, after all, there is nowhere to spend it on the sea, and it will only increase the risk, so it is impossible to directly send money to the rescued Ming army.

However, fortunately, the Shen family and the sailors were each rewarded with at least a dozen taels of silver before setting sail, so they could also let the rescued Ming soldiers and the Shen family get to know each other, and remember the bittersweet pie.

After more than a day of contact, those bitter Shanxi soldiers and Liaodong soldiers learned that they could earn so much as soldiers in the south, and the Shen family was so generous to pay for settling in, and a considerable number of them were transformed and willing to surrender to Shen.

The officers below the thousand-dollar general feel that their current status is not valuable, and it is a big deal to follow the Shen family as a black household for the time being, and then have another identity household registration in the future.

"Rebirth: The Great Age of Waves"

Only a few officers were more cautious and felt that it would be difficult to operate the future whitewashing household registration, and Zhang Mingzhen's identity was not suitable to come forward to explain, so Shen Lian secretly answered their doubts:

"What's the big deal, the lord is now in charge of the household department in Nanjing, responsible for the transformation of Cao Yun to the sea and the resettlement of Cao Min. Every year, Huai'an, Linqing and other places are relocated to the south of the resettlement of tens of thousands.

The eldest prince is in Wuchang, and he also undertakes the Cao people migrated by the master every year. When the time comes, you will all be registered as the people who have moved to the southeast of Shandong, and you will be given a new identity, and then you will perform well in the army as Caomin and be promoted back to your original rank as soon as possible, why is it difficult? The lord and the eldest prince are in the south, and the financial, military, and civil rights are grasped, and the family can be finished from top to bottom! ”

These middle-level officers of Cao and Li's old department completely dispelled their doubts.

Especially after looking at it in the past few days, they have also found that the combat effectiveness, morale and spiritual outlook of Zhang Mingzhen's army are far from being comparable to any army in the Ming Dynasty today.

Mixing with such a strong teammate, is it better to be casually plugged and plugged as cannon fodder?

Especially everyone has been surrounded by bitterness in Tashan and Xingshan for almost half a year, and they have long been fed up with the hardship of having no food, and when they go to the south, just to ensure that they have enough food is attractive enough.

In the words of Mr. Lu Xun, that is, "If there is a kind of violence, it is not only not human, but also inferior to cattle and horses; When people envy cattle and horses, and sigh that 'chaotic people are not as good as Taiping dogs', and then give him a price slightly equal to that of cattle and horses, then people should be happy and convinced, and praise the peaceful and prosperous times. ”

……

And with the delay of the Ming army in Beacon Mountain, in this day or so, new news of changes soon came.

On the evening of the sixth day of the first month of March, Zhang Mingzhen, who was guarding the water village, had just done a good job of brainwashing and reforming friendly troops, and received a group of small routs from the north.

Originally, Zhang Mingzhen was still strange, how could it be two days and one night since the breakout of Tashan and Xingshan, and there were still routs fleeing one after another.

But then, through a brief interrogation, he got an even more exciting news from the mouths of these routs.

He also immediately brought Zheng Chenggong over, and everyone discussed together.

"These routs have escaped from Matsuyama Castle! I heard them say that the day after the defenders of Tashan and Xingshan broke through, the Tartars urgently rebelled against Songshan Neiying and the deputy general Xia Chengde broke the city! Inspector Hong and Qiu Futai have both been martyred!

According to them, most of the defenders of Matsuyama Castle have been annihilated, and only a few thousand have escaped, should we wait any longer? Maybe if we wait another day, we can gather three or four thousand more people.

But the risk is that Azig and Abatai have already freed up their hands, and it is possible that the whole army will come south to Beacon Hill at any time to attack! Now it seems that the day before yesterday, Azig's offensive forces were so weak, and it was really because the main force was busy solving the Hongdu Division! Now that the whole army is heading south, the combat power must be extraordinary! ”

When Zheng Chenggong and the others heard it, they were also shocked, and then they were stunned.

At least the confusion of the hostile situation in the past few days can be regarded as a complete explanation of the reason.

Zheng Chenggong is young and vigorous, of course, if he wants to make a meritorious achievement, he will set up enough at one time and get a little more benefits, so he suggested: "In this case, we ensure that we can defend the water village steadily, although there are many soldiers and horses in Azig, it is impossible to break through it in a day or two, it is better to wait for one more day!"

There is no need to worry about being cut off by the enemy's naval division at sea, Kong Youde has just lost thousands of losses, and it is impossible for the Tartars to prepare the second batch of ships that are enough to intercept us so quickly! ”

Zhang Mingzhen felt a little unreliable: "After our water village is reinforced, there are so many firearms battalions with the Hongyi artillery and crossfire defense on the ship, and we are indeed not afraid of several times the enemy's rapid attack."

But if the Tartar cannons arrive, we'll be finished! Fortunately, even if there is a Hongyi cannon in Tartar, it should be in Songshan recently, nearly a hundred miles away, the cannon is heavy and the transportation is slow, and it should not be able to arrive in one day.

In any case, we can try to defend during the day tomorrow, and if the enemy does not have artillery, we will drag on for the whole day and contain some more of the routs that have escaped from Matsuyama. At night, it is necessary to take the opportunity to sneak away and retreat with the whole army.

And if tomorrow during the day we find out that the enemy army already has Hongyi cannons, then we must immediately board the ship and retreat anyway! Even if the troops who came on board last were pursued, they couldn't care! ”

Zheng Chenggong thought that Zhang Mingzhen's strategy was more secure than his, so he agreed to fully cooperate.

That night, the Ming army was in Bijia Mountain, and sure enough, they successively contained more than 1,000 people from Songshan Hong Chengchou's fleeing rout. However, many of them have discarded their equipment and armor, and they are not organized at all, and they are all pretending to be civilians to escape and try their luck casually.

Zhang Mingzhen couldn't identify the other party for a while, so he could only lock them up on a special ship and search them to make sure they didn't have weapons, so as not to get into the tartars.

And early the next morning, Azig and Abatai arrived with the main force of the Qing army with the might of Songshan's victory.

Seeing that the Ming army was still staying in Beacon Hill and not leaving, Azig was also a little annoyed: This is not taking them seriously! I won a game the day before yesterday, and I thought that Daqing couldn't attack such a port camp?!

Azig immediately ordered another assault, and Abatai advised him to be cautious, but did not persuade him.

And Azig really paid the price for it. The Ming army originally had a firearms battalion of about 3,000 people, and this time 1,500 Korean birds under Li Yu's command were added, bringing the total number of firearms to 4,500.

After two days of simple reinforcement of the peninsula water wall, so many long-range firepower defenses only need to defend one direction to the north, and the attackers cannot make a detour, and they also have to bear the side-firing fire of the Hongyi artillery on the sea......

Even if the attackers gathered more than 20,000 people, they were unable to deploy their forces for a while, and several attacks were repulsed.

Fortunately, after suffering a loss last time, Azig was not too impulsive this time, did not dare to be too desperate, and immediately retreated when he found that the situation was wrong.

Abatai also advised him again: "The Ming people are good at defending the walled city, since their foothold is stable and the morale of the army has never wavered, is it not a waste of human life to attack so strongly?" Wait one more day, the Hongyi cannon in the rear will arrive, and all the rammed earth walls of the fence will be smashed out of the gap, and it will not be too late to storm again! ”

Azig was full of shame, and had to endure the loss of hundreds of cavalry, wounded soldiers, and Han and Mongolian soldiers who died in vain, and even more.

And because the Qing army surrounded the water village, within this whole day, the Ming army that had been defeated from Songshan before, and was not human-like, did not dare to go directly by land to Bijia Shanshui Village to survive, and could only be at least ten or twenty miles away, so they jumped into the sea to escape by jumping into the sea with a wooden plank, and they would definitely drown.

Fortunately, after Zheng Chenggong's patrol fleet found out about this situation, they reported it while fishing for people, and Zheng Chenggong also divided some more fleets, brought the sampan of the ferry, and responded to it in pieces. Only then did more than 2,000 comrades-in-arms who jumped into the sea to escape in one day's inland succession.

After staying up until late at night on the seventh day of the first month of March, Zhang Mingzhen and Zheng Chenggong did not have much to do, and directly chose to light up the bright lookout lights in the camp, but in fact, Mimi quietly boarded the last group of defensive soldiers and retreated.

At dawn the next day, as the Hongyi artillery unit of the Qing army in the rear was pulled to the front line of Beacon Hill, Azig finally launched a general attack with full certainty.

It's a pity that after a round of Hongyi cannon bombardment, as the walls in the water village collapsed, but there was no wailing counterattack, Azig realized that the situation was wrong, and then sent a melee force to carefully search and attack, and there was no musket fire.

"My lord! The Ming army retreated overnight last night! ”

When Yiner came back to report the information, Azig was almost angry and vomited blood.

After tossing for so long and waiting for the Hongyi cannon, the southern barbarian was so shameless and finally ran away!

Why don't you run early and don't run late!

After setting sail for the sea, Zhang Mingzhen did not rest any longer, after a five-day crossing, the various departments were regrouped and replenished in Denglai, and then continued to return to the south, and after ten days of sailing, he finally returned to Suzhou Port at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

By the time of landing, it was already March 22. And their deeds have already spread in this half a month.

On the 10th day of the first month of March, I heard the news of the destruction of Songshan Castle, and then learned that some of the troops were received by sea ships transporting military rations, and they finally withdrew.

The changes in the war situation in Liaodong have become the hottest topic of mutual spraying between the north and south of Beijing throughout mid-March. A large group of people are responsible for the defeat and the victory in defeat, and there are countless civilian officials who are waiting for this opportunity to attack their political opponents.

And Chongzhen, who finally lost more than 100,000 troops, also collapsed a lot of spirit.
