338 Gold Medal Undercover
By the end of the day, the clouds in the west were already fiery red. Outside Lushun City, there was also a red patch of corpses hitting the streets, everywhere.
Dai Shan, who returned to the camp, looked at all this in front of him, especially when he saw the sea surface, the Ming State sailor excitedly dragged the Qing warship away from the coast, and his face was even more ugly.
This time he led the army to Lushun, which was wrong from the beginning. Or rather, from the very beginning, they fell into the trap of the Ming army.
At this time, he already knew that the commander of the Ming State Naval Division was Zheng Zhilong, the most famous on the sea. I didn't expect such a famous pirate king to obey the dispatch of the Ming Emperor and run to the north so far!
In this case, the Ming Water Division should have the strength to crush the Great Clear Water Division from the beginning. However, the Ming Navy Master did not show his fangs, but only showed a small tail, which made the Qing Dynasty think that with hard work, he could defeat the Ming Navy Master and become the overlord of the sea!
The state of dignified etiquette, the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, has been deceived from the beginning, and it is shameless?
The more Dai Shan thought about it, the more angry he became, but he had no place to accuse Ming Guo of shamelessness. Now it's good, not only the warships of the Qing Dynasty, but also the Korean warships that can be collected, all of them have been wiped out, and most of the warships have become the Ming Kingdom.
The Qing Dynasty has paid so much, but it still can't change the previous facts, the coast of Liaodong will still be the world of the Ming Kingdom!
Anger can't change reality, Dai Shan finally restrained his anger and looked coldly at Lushun City in the afterglow of the sunset.
If Lushun had been used as a fortified city from the beginning, he would have been fully prepared. At least there will be enough Han slaves with the army, whether it is for them to be cannon fodder, or let them be used as coolies to build dirt mountains, or dig tunnels, it is okay. In that case, the battle situation may be different from what is in front of you.
However, he thought about it, the Ming army was obviously prepared, and it must have been prepared for various siege situations, and it should be impossible to easily defeat Lushun.
If there is a means of attacking the city, and the city can be conquered, then there is no place in the world that the Qing Dynasty cannot reach. However, the fact is that no matter what method the Qing Dynasty uses, it will not be able to capture the Ningjin defense line of the Ming Kingdom.
For the Qing Dynasty, the least cost is to besiege the city, and if it is besieged for a long time, it will eventually be able to conquer the city. For example, the city of Dalinghe was besieged by the Qing Dynasty until the food ran out.
However, with this trick, it is useless to deal with the city that has been prepared for a long time. When the time comes, the food in the city is not exhausted, but the food of the army outside the city will be exhausted.
Strong cities like Jinzhou and Ningyuan have such sufficient preparations, and they can't use this trick to break the city. Now, this small Lushun, originally, should not be able to save much material.
Just this Lushun City, the surrounding area is just over a mile long. The forces of the Great Qing siege did not need much. The grain and grass consumed by the siege were also within the range that the Qing Dynasty could bear. But it was the defeat of the sailors, and the Ming army in Lushun City could get a steady stream of supplies from the sea, how could this be encircled?
Thinking of this, Dai Shan couldn't help but get angry again. The key sailor, how could he be defeated!
"Shang Kexi, where is this dog minion?" He turned around and asked the surrounding guards, "Haven't you seen him?" ”
"Master, I can't imagine that I was killed by the Ming army!" One of his generals gloated a little and said, "The Ming army asked for his head by name, and someone must have asked for his head for the reward of the Ming army!" This kind of stupid pig, if he dies, it's cheaper for him. ”
When Dai Shan heard this, he didn't say anything, but suddenly he heard a commotion not far away. Hearing the prestige, it was said that Cao Cao, Cao Cao came.
I saw Shang Kexi, under the escort of his personal guard, holding a head in his hand, and he was coming in fear. Before he got to Dai Shan, he shouted from afar: "Lord Wang, the villain was killed miserably, and the villain was killed by this dog thing......"
Needless to say, Shang Kexi used the head of Park Jin-woo, the commander of the North Korean Naval Division, as a scapegoat, and told Dai Sun the set of statements he had already made.
Seriously, Dai Shan couldn't tell if he was lying or not for a while.
Although he couldn't hear Park Jin-woo shouting to Shang Kexi on the mountain, he did see that it was the North Korean sailors who collapsed first. However, no matter how he explained it, Daishan's opinion of him was very large. On the spot, he ordered him to be taken down left and right.
In this regard, Shang Kexi did not dare to resist, including the subordinates he brought, all of whom were arrested by Jianyu.
It wasn't until this time that Dai Shan came back to his senses, and asked Shang Kexi in a loud voice: "What about Turge?" Where is your overseer Turg? ”
As soon as he heard this, Shang Kexi remembered that there was indeed a prison army in the Great Clear Water Division. However, the overseer was not accustomed to the turbulence of the ship, and lay the corpse in the cabin as soon as he arrived on the ship. It was a mess, didn't you escape?
If he folded another Gushan Ezhen with a white flag, Shang Kexi was a little scared, afraid that those Jurchens with white flags would settle accounts with him. Then he said vaguely: "At that time, the villain only cared about this traitor, wanting to save the defeat, and for a while, he didn't notice the prison army, maybe he fled into the mountains with the crowd, right?" ”
Dai Shan listened, turned his head to look at the dark mountains and forests, and didn't care about Turg's idiot anymore.
The sailor has just been defeated, and the morale of the army is not high in the first place, and now I am afraid that it will not be able to fight. Moreover, there was a Ming army on the Jinzhou side, no matter what aspect was considered, it was necessary to withdraw the army first.
Thinking so, he immediately turned back to the Chinese military tent, immediately wrote a note, flew to Shengjing, and then ordered the whole army, and the next morning, the whole army was drawn and returned to Jinzhou.
At the same time, on the flagship of the Ming Army's naval division, Turge, who Dai Shan had just been worried about, was tied up in front of Zheng Zhilong.
"My lord, he is the supervisor of the Jianyu Water Division, a Tartar who is a serious man, and it is said that he is still a solid mountain and a big official." The soldiers of the Ming army excitedly announced, "A soft-footed shrimp, seasick, was picked up on the deck." ”
Another Ming soldier added excitedly: "If it weren't for the guards in this guy, we would have almost missed him!" ”
"Oh, his name is Turg, and he is a solid mountain with a white flag?" When Zheng Zhilong heard this, he leaned closer with a little curiosity, looked at Turg lying on the deck, and then said, "Your Excellency the Governor has a military order, if you catch this Turg, it is best to capture him alive and escort him to see him." ”
"Ah, my lord, what does that mean?" His subordinate asked, a little surprised.
Zheng Zhilong himself wondered, Lu Xiangsheng didn't say anything else, he just named this Turge, and he didn't know what was so special about this Turg that he won this honor.
He couldn't figure it out, so he waved his hand and ordered: "Everyone is dizzy, it's boring, send it to the governor immediately, if you die, it's not easy to explain!" ”
In this way, Turg was sent to Lu Xiangsheng overnight.
After being tossed like this, Turg also woke up, and it happened that Lu Xiangsheng was also close to him.
All of a sudden, the two of them, staring at each other, look at me, look at you, and look at each other.
To be precise, it was Turg who opened his eyes and saw a Ming official staring at him, and he was so frightened that he wanted to resist immediately. However, when his hands were tied, he couldn't move at all. Then he fixed his eyes and recognized that it was Lu Xiangsheng, who had been besieged by him in Jiajiazhuang, and he was stunned for a moment.
Who am I? Where am I and what am I doing?
Turg's brain, mushy.
Lu Xiangsheng, on the other hand, stared at Turg for a while, but did not see any difference between him and the other Jianyu. I couldn't help but wonder in my heart: "Why did the emperor deliberately explain to himself that if this Turg was captured in the Liaodong battlefield, it would be best to capture him alive and then let him go back?" ”
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng couldn't help but be a little suspicious, could he be a secret agent of Jinyiwei? However, the secret agent of the Ming Jinyi Guard, has he already reached the destination of the senior head of the Jianyu?
Thinking so, he asked, "Are you from the Yehe Jurchen Division?" ”
There are four large tribes in Liaodong Jurchen, and the Jianzhou Jurchen is only one of them. Among them, the Jianzhou Jurchen and Yehe Jurchen are enemies. In the original battle of Salhu, the Yehe Jurchen Department sent troops and wanted to fight wild boar skins together. It's just a pity that the Ming army was defeated too simply at that time, so that before Ye Hebu arrived, he heard the news of the defeat of the Ming army and quickly fled back.
It is precisely for this reason that after winning the battle of Sarhu, the wild boar skin turned around and focused on the Yehe tribe, and finally in the forty-seventh year of Wanli, the Yehe Jurchen department was completely annexed by the Jianzhou Jurchens. But Yehebu did not all surrender, and some of them escaped and worked in Mao Wenlong's Dongjiang Town, fighting the same Jianqing.
It is for this reason that Lu Xiangsheng asked.
However, when he asked, he knew that this was not possible. If Turg is really a Yehe Jurchen, it is impossible to be true.
In fact, Turge's father was the head of the five most powerful subordinates of the wild boar skin back then, and the eighth son of Eyidu, how could it be a Yehe Jurchen!
When Turge heard Lu Xiangsheng's question, of course he wanted to deny it, and even reported himself to his family, saying loudly, anyway, he was ready, and felt that Lu Xiangsheng would definitely avenge the siege of Jiajiazhuang. Then come on, anyway, after eighteen years, he will be a good man again!
However, what he didn't expect was that Lu Xiangsheng actually ordered someone to untie his rope and expel him from Arthur City.
Pushed out of the gate of Lushun City in disgust by the Ming army, Turge, who was still in a state of confusion, didn't know where the strength came from, and subconsciously ran away in one breath and stood still, and then looked back at Lushun City and was stupid there.
What's going on? Why did Lu Xiangsheng let him go like this? Could it be that in the first battle of Jiajiazhuang, the heroes cherished the heroes, and Lu Xiangsheng was reluctant to kill himself?
But that doesn't seem possible, does it?
Turg couldn't figure it out even if he wanted to break his head, so he didn't think about it anymore, and hurried to the direction of the Qing Dynasty.
At this time, he was glad in his heart. This time, it shouldn't be considered a prisoner of the Ming army, right? Better than the last time! In the future, you must be very careful, you can't be captured by the Ming army again, otherwise you will definitely not have such a good life next time, and let yourself go like a ghost!
At the head of Lushun City, Lu Xiangsheng watched Turg disappear into the darkness, and shook his head in his heart: This Turg is a Jianyu hardcore, and it is absolutely impossible for the emperor to develop into a Jinyi Wei secret agent! I don't know what's so special about this person, he was treated so differently by the emperor!
Lu Xiangsheng couldn't figure it out in his head, so he stopped thinking about it, turned around and went back to the yamen in the city.
Early the next morning, the camp was set up and returned to Jinzhou. They are very similar, they are not afraid of the Ming army going out of the city to pursue, and they may even look forward to the Ming army going out of the city to pursue!
Of course, Lu Xiangsheng would not send troops to pursue, and yesterday, he actually knew that Jianyu would definitely retreat.
After confirming the retreat of the Jianguo, he sent an army to begin to search the mountains and forests to clear the remnants of the Jianguo army.
After this battle, the Ming Dynasty gained a firm foothold on the Liaodong Peninsula, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as completely mastering the sea dominance.
Of course, it is possible that Jianyu will not give up and launch a larger offensive against Lushun. Therefore, it is still necessary to take precautions.
As for the naval division, in addition to transporting supplies, it also had to digest the surrendered North Korean sailors. Daming, on his side, didn't think about letting these North Korean sailors go back.
In fact, these North Korean sailors, of their own will, are also unwilling to go back.
The Ming Dynasty has been the suzerainty of Korea for hundreds of years, and the Koreans have always admired the Celestial Empire, unlike Jianyu, although they conquered their monarch, they were still regarded as barbarians in secret.
Now staying on the side of the Ming army, having to eat, starving not to death, and being able to become a member of the Ming Dynasty again, such a good thing, it's no wonder if you don't cherish it!
Therefore, the process of Zheng Zhilong's digestion and absorption of these North Korean sailors was also very smooth. Successfully getting to this point, it was done together with the other things that Lu Xiangsheng had explained, and there was no obstacle.
All the islands here in the Liaodong Peninsula have become the territory of the Ming Dynasty again.
Not to mention the distant Phi Island, the five islands of Guanglu, Xiaochangshan, Shicheng and Haiyang, where the Dongjiang soldiers and Liaodong fugitives had lived, were first reoccupied by the Daming Naval Division and began to garrison troops to prepare for the next offensive against Liaodong.
Of course, all of this, at the end of the war, Lu Xiangsheng sent a clipper to Beijing to deliver good news.
He didn't know, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen already knew the entire war.
Lushun's victory made Emperor Chongzhen very relieved. The reconstruction of the Dongjiang Army is tantamount to planting a nail in the side of the Jianyu. And this time, the combat power shown by the Ming army was strong, and it also made Jianyu understand. In this way, if Jianyu still wants to make a detour to the Mongolian steppe to invade the Guannei, he must weigh it carefully, and do you want the nest?
As for that Turg, for Emperor Chongzhen, it was a complete surprise. didn't die, he put it back, the pot of defeat, it was not for him to carry it, so he could continue to play the ability of "gold medal undercover", which was a great help for him to grasp the news of Liaodong Jianyu.
This time the victory of the Liaodong War also benefited Emperor Chongzhen himself a lot.
