"Why don't you leave?"

The Ming Army, Feng Zhaoji, commander of the 33rd Brigade of the Third Front Army of the Liaodong Theater, put down the binoculars in his hand and sighed.

"It's been a long time since I've met such a courageous Eight Banners."

The commander of the 32nd Brigade smiled at Dazai.

Three brigades of the Third Front.

The 11th Brigade is an old unit transferred from Kannai.

The 32nd Brigade was an expansion of the garrison of the Liaodong Reclamation Division.

The 33rd Brigade is a new unit formed by Zhuangding in Liaodong with the military tun.

Now Peng Jun, the commander-in-chief of the Third Front Army, and the commanders of the three brigades have come to the forefront of this fort.

It would have been according to the estimates of the General Staff.

This fortress was not guarded by the Qing army.

Because this is a forward part, it takes a lot of troops to defend this fort, and at the same time, there is a risk of being surrounded and besieged.

With the Qing court's treasure of the Eight Banners, how could it be willing to die thousands of Eight Banners on such a fortress that had little strategic value?

Therefore, I thought that the other party would have to slip away as soon as the army came, but I didn't expect that now it actually put on a stubborn appearance, but it made the four Ming military officers a little impressed.

A hot air balloon look.

The layout plan and troop estimation of Tieling Tunbao were all in Peng Jun's hands.

"In addition to more than 1,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners in this fort, there are about 10,000 old and weak women and children living in the Eight Banners."

Peng Jun said.

"This makes sense, it seems that the Eight Banners outside this pass are very short of food, and even the old and weak of the Eight Banners have to come out to cultivate the land."

Chen Jianhui, the commander of the 11th Brigade, thought for a moment and said: "In this case, if we send a partial division to destroy all the crops reclaimed by the Eight Banners in Liaodong, will the 200,000 Eight Banners outside this pass have to starve to death?" ”

"Starvation? Not really. Feng Zhaoji, the commander of the 33rd Brigade, shook his head and said, "The old forests in this Liao land are rich in prey and abundant products, even if there is still no grain of grain, you can go into the mountains to hunt, right?" ”

"It's nature." Peng Jun said with a smile, "It's so easy to wipe out the clan, so this time our army came out of the customs for the purpose of leaving no trouble!" ”

"Leave no stone unturned." Xiang Dazai was stunned for a moment, pondering the weight of this sentence.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt a chill in my back.

"General Town, there is no such thing on the military order of the General Staff."

Peng Jun said coldly: "Tens of thousands of troops swept through Liaobei, how could they just drive the Qing Tartars away? The Son of Heaven is benevolent, how can he make a clear decree. Our courtiers want to share their worries for the king, pass the order, and after breaking the village, slaughter their people! ”

"Obey!"

The three brigade commanders looked at each other and said in unison.

"Now there is a stronger land in the north, and it is a completely different enemy from the Xiongnu, the Turks, and the Mongols."

"The head town is talking about Russia? Tsarist Russia is said to be the hegemon of Europe, Britain dominates the sea frontier, Russia dominates the land, and it is not easy to be the hegemon of Europa. ”

Fung Shau Kee said.

"The Son of Heaven has said, today's world, such as the troubled times of the Warring States, countries are vying for hegemony, I want to dominate the world, expand the living space of China, we need to pinch the power of China, this Tsarist Russia is the hegemon of the European continent, then next to this couch, he can't be allowed to sleep! The Son of Heaven attached so much importance to Liaodi, and sent troops to reclaim Haishengwei, the purpose of which must not only be as simple as cutting off the back road of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also with the intention of driving Tsarist Russia away. ”

Peng Jun explained.

"In my opinion, after decades of expansion, Tsarist Russia has expanded thousands of miles from Eastern Europe, and the desire for expansion in this country is so strong, and now it has expanded to the east to the coast of the sea, if you want to continue to expand, you can only go south, from this point of view, there must be a war between Ming and Russia, since this is the case, then I will consolidate the Liao land first, and it is best to immigrate to 10 million, so that we can be invincible in the future war between Ming and Russia."

The three brigade commanders looked at each other, they didn't think so far, but they heard Peng Jun say this.

I also think it makes sense.

In fact, Peng Jun still has something to say, that is, he thinks that the Son of Heaven has invested so many resources in Liaodi, and it should not be as simple as consolidating Liaodi.

Perhaps he was interested in the eastern lands of Tsarist Russia.

It's just that Manchuria is rich and can easily raise tens of millions of people, but what does he want to do in the north?

Further north of Manchuria, it was the land of the far north.

In addition to the severe cold and dense forests, you may be able to hunt some fur, but you can't farm, and grazing is difficult.

What are you going to do?

Peng Jun stood against the fortress in front of him and said suddenly: "The attack plan is suspended. ”

Feng Zhaoji, the commander of the 33rd Brigade, was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking: "General Town, such a fortress can be entered by our army with only one round of artillery bombardment and one assault, so why wait?"

"Wait two days."

Peng Jun said with a smile.

"There are more than 10,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners, old and weak."

"The town thinks. Qing Tartar may not be willing to give up. ”

Of course, I can't give up.

Jin Chang, the deputy commander of the blue flag stationed in Haicheng, was so angry that he almost pulled out his knife and cut people when he got the news from Lin Guoliang.

Hu Song'e, that reckless man, actually relied on the soil village of Tieling Tunbao and dared to stand in front of more than 10,000 Ming troops.

He sent himself to his death.

is still pulling tens of thousands of eight flags!

This bastard is a deserved death!

What are hundreds of thousands of acres of crops?

If you lose it, you lose it.

It's a big deal to go to North Korea and grab one.

The more than 10,000 Eight Banners, if you die, you are really dead.

You must know that the total population of Eight Banners is only more than one million.

More than 10,000 died at once.

How many times can you die?

Back then, the Eight Banners entered the customs and killed so many Han people, and now that they have killed them back, can you shout grievances?

Let's be honest.

He really wanted to directly give up the more than 10,000 Eight Banners of Hu Song'e and Tieling Tunbao.

But it's really ruthless.

Even if you are ruthless, I am afraid that you will be settled by the autumn queen in the future.

No way.

Jin Chang had no choice but to order a team of 8,000 horses to go south to pick up Hu Song'e, a reckless man.

Now under the command of General Sheng Jing.

There were more than 13,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners.

Recently, more than 6,000 local cattle hunters and tribes were gathered.

In addition, there were 7,000 Eight Banners sent by General Jilin and General Heilongjiang to support.

The people of the Eight Banners of Fengtian, over 13 years old, and all the men who can wield knives and guns are also organized, with a total number of more than 30,000.

That's all the forces that can be mobilized outside the gates now.

Eight thousand horses if lost.

That's definitely nerve-wracking.

Just when the Third Front Army was stationed in Tieling Tunbao, trying to lure the main force of the Eight Banners of Haicheng out of the city with the people of the Eight Banners in Tieling Tunbao.

On the sea east of Port Arthur.

The sails of the ship that obscured the sky covered the sea.

The army of the commander of the Great Tomorrow has come across the sea and finally arrived in Port Arthur!

At this time, Port Arthur had been built into a somewhat humble but well-developed harbor that could accommodate a large number of large ships.

The first to dock was a fleet carrying the Son of Heaven's guards.

With the big ship coming to shore.

A soldier of the Guards, with his head held high, disembarked from the ship and quickly took over the entire harbor.

A large ship slowly approached the shore, on the deck of the big ship.

You can vaguely see the red background dragon flag of the Ming Emperor and the national flag of the sun and moon of the Ming Dynasty.

"Tomorrow is here!"

With the roll call of a young official in a red official uniform.

The officials of Port Arthur who greeted them at the pier saluted one after another.

Officer salute.

The civil servant bowed.

And in the midst of this.

Jeong Min-shi, the special envoy of the king of Joseon who came from Korea, was a little at a loss.

Because he didn't know how to bow himself.

Because Korea is still theoretically still a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty.

The North Korean side has never taken the initiative to contact the Ming in the south - in fact, there are quite pro-Ming forces in North Korea.

But it's not Zhu Daohua's current Daming.

It is the former suzerainty that has made the whole country of Korea miss for hundreds of years.

In fact, there is no discussion within the DPRK that the DPRK should take the initiative to belong to the Ming Dynasty.

But on the one hand, North Korea is adjacent to Liaodong, and it is worried that Daming is far away in the south, in case it offends the Qing court, and the Qing court raises troops to ask for guilt, how can North Korea resist?

On the other hand.

Zhu Daohua, the son of the Great Tomorrow, was friendly with Japan when he was in Nanyang.

Now it is the biggest backer of the Tokugawa shogunate.

In addition, an embassy and a trading hall were built in Edo, and a port was leased.

A look of the intimacy between the two countries tomorrow.

This made the whole country of North Korea very pleasant.

After all, relations between Korea and Japan have not been harmonious, and this has been the case for the past two hundred years.

This new Ming Dynasty is friendly with Japan.

Japan was not even asked to claim the title of vassal.

Why did the DPRK take the initiative to put it up?

Originally, this little bit of caution was also there, North Korea was far away in the northeast, and the Ming Dynasty was in the south, and it was a long way to get in touch for a while.

But who would have thought.

The Ming Dynasty actually established military camps in Liaodong and Vladivostok, one east and one west of the Korean Peninsula.

Moreover, on the military tun on Haishengwei's side, a large number of Japanese girls were also bought to be wives for the military tun Zhuangding.

Daming doesn't want to let go of the Korean woman who is close at hand, and wants a Japanese woman?

What does that mean?

Is it because you have an opinion about North Korea?

This can make the whole country anxious.

I thought it was far away, and I could watch the fire from the other side and observe it.

Who would have thought that the power of the Ming Dynasty would expand so quickly and reach Liaodong in a short period of time.

Now I heard that the Great Tomorrow is going to conquer Liaodong in person.

The king of Joseon, Li Zheng, hurriedly sent his confidant ministers, the Korean soldier Cao Jushu, the general of the Zhuang Yongwei, and the judge of Dunning Prefecture Zheng Minshi to Lushun to meet the great emperor.

For the abandonment of the clear surrender.

There are basically few obstacles in North Korea alone.

Although it has been a vassal of the Qing State for more than 100 years.

But up to now, North Korea is still dressed in the Ming Dynasty, which is very different from the Qing court.

Even when Yan went to Beijing, some Han officials burst into tears when they saw the Ming Dynasty's clothes - the previous Korean envoys went to Beijing in the Ming Dynasty to call them Zhao Angels, and later changed to Yan in the Qing Dynasty, which shows that the North Korean people are not so convinced by the submission of the Qing Dynasty.

If you want to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty before, you are still worried about being retaliated against by the Qing Dynasty.

Now that the Ming Emperor has come to Liaodong in person, the Qing Dynasty itself is in danger.

Naturally, the Korean state has no scruples, and Zheng Minshi came this time to make North Korea become a Ming vassal again.

It's just that now the rules of the Ming Dynasty have changed again.

Everyone stopped kneeling. In this way, Zheng Minshi, who was dressed in a somewhat similar official uniform to the current Ming Dynasty, but could also see a clear difference, knelt in a group of Ming civil officials who were bowing their hands.

It's very eye-catching.

At least Zhu Daohua saw the North Korean envoy at the first glance when he got off the boat.
