608 Admonition from Shenyang
However, at present, on the Lushun side, there is only the Golden State Central Left Institute. The goal of the first step was to cut off the connection between Jinzhou Zhongzuo and Jinzhouwei, and then to capture Lushun as a supply point and rest point for the follow-up army.
Lu Xiangsheng looked at the direction of Lushun from afar, and thought to himself: Last time it was just harassment, and it also meant to show weakness to the enemy, I don't know if this attack can make Jianyu defend the enemy lightly, so as to successfully take Lushun.
Thinking so, he went ashore and first dispatched troops to the soldiers on the shore.
Lushun is a natural ice-free port with superior berthing conditions, so it is used as a military port. In the four years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, sent Ma Yun and Ye Wang to lead the army from Penglai, Shandong Province to land here by boat to recover Liaodong, because the sea journey was smooth sailing, then the lion's mouth was renamed Lushunkou, which has been used to this day.
If it weren't for the purpose of cutting off the connection between Lushun and Jinzhou, and just landing to attack Lushun, it would be possible to land directly at Lushun Wharf and rely on the advantage of numbers, after all, the landing conditions here are very good.
In the harbor, scattered are a few simple thatched huts, which are inhabited by fishermen who feed by the sea. However, some of them are only small boats, and they can only catch fish here in the harbor, and they cannot go out to sea, so the daily harvest is not much. But even so, they still have to supply the best of the fish they have caught to the old men in Lushun City, and life can be said to be very hard.
About a mile from the port, it is Arthur City. At this time, Lushun's geographical location can only be said to be very remote, located at the very edge of Liaodong. If it weren't for the occasional merchant ship from Daming, there would be almost no outsiders.
Originally, after the rebellion of Liaodong Jianyu, it was used as an important garrison of the Ming army in Dongjiang, and almost all the Ming troops who came from Dengzhou had to supply and rest here, and it was still lively. However, after the automatic construction captured this place, there were no outsiders at all, and it seemed very deserted.
Considering the importance of this place to the Ming army of Dongjiang, Jianyu has been stationed here for a long time a Niu Lu Ezhen, with 300 soldiers composed of various ethnic groups in Liaodong, and a group of Han people under his command, at this time, because of the restructuring, it is already the eight banners of the Han army, and the number is about 500 people.
These Jianyu knew the importance of this place to the Ming army in Dongjiang, so their vigilance was relatively high in peacetime, and the city gate was usually only open for half a day during the day, and only one door was opened. Under the city gate, a group of soldiers were all checking there.
"My lord, it's okay, if these fish are taken away, the villain won't be able to exchange food!" A scrawny old fisherman pleaded with a soldier.
The head of the soldier, who was of the Korean nationality, looked vicious, waved his hand impatiently: "Isn't there still a fish, what are you talking about, get out of me!" ”
"My lord, the rest of these fish don't look good, I'm afraid they won't be able to exchange for food, so you can leave two for the villain!" The old fisherman also wanted to intercede, hoping that the soldier would show kindness.
Who knew that the head of the soldier actually grabbed the fish basket directly, threw it out hard, and then shouted: "Get out!" ”
When the other fishermen waiting to enter the city saw it, they all hid far away. There's no way, if it's the Ming army, you can still come forward and reason. But how can these suggestions be reasonable. This is okay, during the period of changing the old slave, it is estimated that people will cut it directly with a knife.
The old fisherman had no choice but to pick up the fish, but he was resentful in his heart. I used to think that the official army was not a good thing, but compared with these prisoners, it was still much better than the official army of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know when the imperial court will be able to send troops over and kill all these prisoners!
He was thinking about it, when suddenly two or three horsemen came on the official road, and the sound of horses' hooves knocked on people's hearts: "There is a Ming army coming......
As soon as they heard this, the fishermen outside the city immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and the Jianyu at the head of the city immediately sounded the alarm gong, and the sound of bells and bells sounded and soon spread throughout the city.
When Niu Lu Ezhen Barosh heard this, he immediately pushed away the two maids, did not arrange his clothes, revealed his shaggy chest hair, and strode towards the lobby. As soon as he arrived, he shouted and asked, "How many ships are there from the Ming army?" ”
"There are no Ming army ships on the sea, but the Ming army was found on the way to Jinzhou!"
When Barosh heard this, he couldn't help but wonder: "How many Ming troops are there, what are they going to do, to fight Jinzhou?" ”
"About 300 Ming troops, it seems to be coming towards our Lushun!"
Barosh was a little confused about the situation, so he ordered in a loud voice: "Go to the city!" ”
At this time, after the police gong sounded, martial law was imposed in the city, and no one was seen on the street. In fact, Lushun originally had a small population, but in normal times, there were not many people on the street.
Baros soon reached the head of the city, and first went to the sea to look at the city, and sure enough, he did not find any ships on the sea. Then he went to observe the direction of the official road to Jinzhou. Faintly, it was found that the Ming army was indeed coming loosely in the distance, just like the last time the Ming army came to attack the city.
"My lord, it's the Dongjiang Ming Army who came to find death. Kill chickens with a knife, and the villain will lead the army to defeat them! The commander of the Han army came to ask for war with disdain.
Barosh wanted to nod his head, but when he remembered the warning from Shenyang, he still shook his head and said: "The Dongjiang Ming army has not landed in Lushun unusually, I'm afraid there is some conspiracy, let's see first!" ”
Since Liaoyang and Anshan post forts were attacked, Shenyang issued an order, saying that the new governor of Dongjiang was brave and brave, and his standard battalion was good at charging into battle, and all localities should not take the enemy lightly. If the city is lost and the land is lost, it will be severely punished.
Therefore, when the Ming army came to attack the city last time, Barosh also defended the city, and it was not until the strength of the Ming army was confirmed that the door was opened to attack and the Ming army was killed. At this time, although he saw that it was still an ordinary Dongjiang Ming army, he was still a little cautious.
The fishermen outside the city did not hide in their thatched houses. Because once the Ming army attacked Lushun, those thatched houses would definitely suffer. Most of them, the fishermen, hid in the harbor or simply got on their own fishing boats and watched from afar. As long as they are not affected by the war, they will generally be fine.
At this time, the Ming army in the distance was closer, probably only more than 300 Ming troops, and the team was not in order, even the fishermen watching the battle couldn't help but shake their heads.
"What kind of troops did the imperial court send to fight Lushun, that's all? I can see that it's not good! ”
"It seems that there were more people than this last time, and it looked menacing, but it turned out to be ...... As soon as the Qing soldiers attacked, they fled faster than anything else! ”
“……”
Obviously, none of these fishermen who watched the excitement were optimistic about these Ming troops. The old fisherman before was also there, and sighed and said: "Lushun is such an important place, the imperial court only sends such people over, is it perfunctory, don't you want Lushun?" Are we going to be oppressed by Jianju for the rest of our lives......"
As he was talking, the son on the side hurriedly pulled him and whispered, "Dad, be careful that someone is going to tell you!" ”
