Chen Xin listened to the adjutant's words, smiled and said, "It's best if the Tartars are here, we can wait for work, relying on the Port of Arthur and the powerful naval power of the kingdom, and constantly consume the living power of the Tartars."

However, if the Houjin Tartars don't come, then we don't have to wait, just lead the troops to kill them, we have been fighting with the Tartars, don't get out of contact, in short, don't let the Tartars survive this winter.

Let the scouts, spies, and cavalry go over from time to time to harass them, and then come back immediately after a couple of days, forcing the Tartars to maintain a large number of troops in the area around Fuzhou.

Even if the Tartars were able to carry supplies from the frozen riverbed by climbing the plow, they would always be escorted by cavalry every time they were transported.

That series of materials, transported from places like Haizhou and Shenyang to Fuzhou, will consume at least three or five percent, and we are still the same routine that was set before, that is, to consume with them and strive to consume their national strength. ”

As he spoke, Chen Xin pointed to the direction of Lushun South City and said, "On the periphery of Lushun City, multiple defensive barriers must be formed, but the most important thing at this stage is to ensure the safety of the fortress on this side of the port.

Even if our army loses all the positions outside the city, as long as this fortress near the port remains, the port will be safe and sound, and the Tartars, no matter how cruel they are, can only obediently retreat in the end. ”

Fu Yan and Chen Xin's adjutants agreed, and then carefully noted down what Chen Xin said.

Another intelligence officer, who had been following Chen Xin's side, looked his eyes on a large beacon tower on the east side of Arthur City.

At this moment, there happened to be a group of clothed captives at the beacon, and they were piling up various building materials on the beacon. Contribute to the construction of the beacon tower.

After a little muttering, he leaned into Chen Xin's ear and said, "Your Excellency, your subordinates think that these selected remaining coated prisoners are still not suitable to stay on Lushun's side, in case a few of these guys run away, it will be bad."

They have been in our Lushun area for so long, and they have been arranged to work everywhere, and they can basically be said to know our army's defense facilities in the Lushun area well.

As soon as they run away a few people, there is a high probability that the military secrets of our army in the Arthur area will be leaked to the enemy. ”

Chen Xin pondered for a moment, thinking carefully, the screening of the coated captives had been completely completed.

After separate interrogations by the military's political work department, military justice department, intelligence department and other institutions, and mutual exposure among the coated captives, there was no evil among these coated captives, and there were no more small singles in Houjin, and all of them had been selected.

There are about five or six hundred of these people, and they will be sent back to China in batches for relevant transformation, if the transformation is good, this batch of coatings can be completely integrated into the Chinese system, and become a series of examples and models for the future strategy Houjin.

Some of these people speak more neatly and their brains are quick, and Chen Xin plans to let them go to various parts of the country to show up and speak to strengthen the impression of new and old immigrants.

And the group of coated prisoners on the side of the beacon tower were still held hostages by their families and held on the Houjin territory in Liaodong.

Although a few days ago, the mobilization work carried out by the political workers in the army made them feel a little emotional and enthusiastic for a while.

However, the relevant personnel of the intelligence department who conducted the third round of investigation believe that after they calm down after a period of time, they are likely to start missing their families in Houjin, which will make them have some dangers and hidden dangers in their work.

An old brother who had followed Chen Xin for a long time and was reluctant to learn consciousness words, listened to the words of the intelligence officer, and said with a big grin and nonchalant, "If you want your subordinates to say it, just shave their hair, cut off their heads, and put them in the next batch of transactions with the Ming army in the Ministry of Finance, and it will be a hundred in a short time!" ”

An adjutant looked at Chen Xin and didn't speak, leaned over and said tentatively in a low voice, "Your Excellency, otherwise, just before the coastal sea is frozen, we will transport the whole batch of people to the Ming army and hand them over to our lurkers in the Ming army in Shandong. ”

Chen Xin looked at the two beside him, an old brother and a newcomer who had not graduated long ago, although there was not much communication between the two, but in fact, the idea of the two of them was the same as the final result of these coated captives.

The appearance of these people is obviously different from that of the Eight Banners Jurchens, but they can be brought out to fight by the Houjin Army, which means that they are already veteran efforts in the Houjin coat.

As a perennial servant of the Tartars' coats, they have always been forced to shave their heads, in the Ming army, this kind of coat is often used by them to risk military merits, the possibility of this coat's head being detected, is much smaller than the new coat.

Even if it was sent to the intelligence personnel lurking in the Shandong army, in the end, he was cut off by the guy on the side of the Ming army, but there was no need for Chen Xin's side to do it.

In the end, Chen Xin still shook his head, he planned to find a way to live for these prisoners, so he rejected the proposal of the old brother and the adjutant.

I only heard Chen Xin say, "Send all the people back to China, let the previous groups of prisoners, as well as the militia, reserve and guard troops from all over the country take care of them, and then send them to various places to build roads." ”

Since the war for many years before, some of the captured Houjin soldiers and Baoyi have been transformed.

Keeping them paid and guarding the other captives was a good way to divide the Jin captives after the collapse. Once they were divided, there would be no need to use the now increasingly tense army to spy on the captives.

As long as a part of the wounded veterans is arranged, and the subordinates of the civil affairs department are arranged to form a road repair team, and the thousands of prisoners are divided into dozens of small teams, a team can be formed that specializes in road repair in various places.

In this era when there were no large construction machinery, building roads was a very hard task, so this kind of construction team needed to have a very strict discipline, which was suitable for reforming prisoners.

Half an hour later, after completing all the formalities and signing the last few documents, Chen Xin arranged for Zachdan to get off the ship.

Next, the warship started the steam engine, slowly left the dock position, sailed out of the harbor, and joined the other transport ships and escort ships in the open sea.

As he slowly went out to sea along the Tiger Tail Waterway, Chen Xin looked at the layers of fortifications and protruding gun ports on the mountain next to him, and a little smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Dolgon, I don't know if you dare to come to Lushun."
