It's a pity that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Without Mao Wenlong's unified leadership, the teams in Dongjiang Town, which are scattered into hundreds of large and small units, can no longer harass and contain the sensitive parts of Houjin.
After learning that Mao Wenlong was executed by Yuan Chonghuan without authorization, Huang Taiji became excited, and like a wild horse that had escaped from the leash, he rushed into the Gyeonggi area of the Ming Dynasty with a herd of horses, rushing left and right to make the surrounding area of the Beijing division a piece of ruin.
Under Chongzhen's anger, the cabinet successively ordered the troops to be diligent in all places.
Yuan Chonghuan's position is more exaggerated, he is the title of the secretary of the military department and the right deputy capital of the imperial history, of course, these two are false titles, in order to improve Yuan Chonghuan's status, the reward given.
His main position was to supervise the two border towns of Ji and Liao, and to supervise the military affairs of Dengzhou, Laizhou, and Tianjin.
It can be said that he is the supreme commander in the two directions north of the Beijing division and the east, and is in charge of one of the most powerful armed forces of the Ming Dynasty.
When Yuan Chonghuan had just ascended the throne in Chongzhen, he boasted in front of him about the Haikou of "5 years of Pingliao".
Who would have thought that a year after praising Haikou, Huang Taiji led his troops into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty.
In order to make up for his mistakes, under the urgency of the situation, Yuan Chonghuan could only hurriedly take the soldiers and horses to the Beijing Division to rescue the driver, and those hungry soldiers in Dongjiang Town couldn't care about it at this time, so they could only put it aside first.
After that, Yuan Chonghuan died a big death, and actually asked to be brought into the capital, it was just hehe, after the foreign army arrived at the guest land, it was not allowed to enter the city immediately, not to mention that this is the Beijing Division, this is military common sense.
Under various misunderstandings, Yuan Chonghuan was imprisoned, and the big names in the Ming Dynasty were also anxious to find scapegoats for Huang Taiji's entry into the court, and they didn't have time to deal with these Qiu Ba who were far overseas.
These ordinary people who escaped from Liaodong in Dongjiang Town were the first to be unable to support it, and in the absence of food, they had to start the bloody and tragic escape road again, and every day the Liao people fled to Daming with a piece of wood.
Until the news of Yuan Chonghuan's execution reached the island, Dongjiang Town still did not completely resume grain transportation, and people went to the sea every day to fight for their lives, trying to find a place to live.
Yuan Chonghuan was executed, which finally allowed the soldiers of Dongjiang Town to vent well, and the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, who were hungry, also had thoughts.
Thinking of the good life they lived when Mao Wenlong was there, killing and killing Tartars to take revenge, doing business and making a fortune, how happy they were.
Although the handsome Mao they respected died, Yuan Chonghuan, the "big villain", also paid for his life, and the simple soldiers thought that they would have to live a good life in the future, so they were ready to let go of their hatred, return to normal life, and accept the leadership of the newly sent chief military officer.
However, after waiting for a long time, everyone found that after a period of time, the food problem was still not solved, and at the same time, the problem of Mao Dashuai's future affairs was not completely solved, because the Ming court did not restore Mao Wenlong's reputation.
Seeing that winter was approaching, the soldiers of Dongjiang Town felt that they had been fooled, and they became angry all of a sudden.
These big-headed soldiers, under the instigation of people with intentions, showed their powers, rebelled rebellions, escaped and escaped, and some of them had a way, and they also tried every means to transfer to other places, and the entire Dongjiang Town was simply a mess.
Under the National Security Council of the United Kingdom of China, the newly established General Directorate of Foreign Intelligence, after more than half a year of silence, made its first dispatch and made a big start to the General Directorate.
More than eighty percent of the ordinary people in Dongjiang Town were tempted by the agents sent by the General Bureau of Foreign Intelligence, and they got into the kingdom through sea ships, became new immigrants, and filled the population of the kingdom.
However, Dongjiang Town does not only have ordinary people, where the army is the mainstream.
The army of Dongjiang Town, after Mao Wenlong's execution, went their own way and could not agree on their opinions, and these army members were divided into three parts according to their own relatives and distances.
In the first part, led by Kong Youde, Li Jiucheng, Geng Zhongming and others, after trying to find a way to operate, they were transferred to the new governor of Denglai, Sun Yuanhua, to serve as the governor's standard battalion.
Sun Yuanhua was ready to use this army to build a powerful army with all firearms, and he even spent a lot of money to hire a group of Portuguese mercenaries to assist in the construction of this artillery unit.
At the same time, it was also to counterbalance the Wendeng Battalion (controlled by agents of the United Kingdom of China) who had contributed a lot in the last battle of Huang Taiji's invasion.
In the second part, headed by Huang Long, the new commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, and Shang Kexi and others, occupied part of the land territory of the original Dongjiang Town such as Lushun and Fuzhou.
After getting rid of the people who were originally regarded as a burden and other troops with little combat effectiveness, through the trade between Liaodong, Daming, the United Kingdom of China and other regions, life was quite passable, and it was stable for the time being.
The third part is more complicated, these people are completely disappointed in Da Ming and are ready to find a new home, but this is also divided into two parts.
Some of them wanted to take refuge in Houjin in exchange for high-ranking officials Houlu, and they believed from the incident that Houjin raided the capital of Gyeonggi in the Ming Dynasty, but there were few casualties, that the development of Houjin in the past few years has been booming and has great potential.
And Huang Taiji is not as murderous as his father Nurhachi, and he is willing to reuse Han officials.
Therefore, those dog traitors think that when they come to Houjin, they can have a better development.
These people, except for the hundreds of people who were originally on the mainland, successfully took refuge in Houjin, most of them occupied several islands in Dongjiang Town, preparing to go to Houjin secretly by boat.
Although these people are all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, the United Kingdom of China cannot pretend not to see it.
But if the Ming Dynasty is notified, I am afraid that with the efficiency of the Ming Dynasty, the enemy may not be able to unify the opinion of sending troops to encircle and suppress after the enemy runs out.
So, the kingdom decided to take matters into its own hands and become a red scarf that did good deeds without leaving a name.
On an early winter morning, the fleet of these Dongjiang soldiers who were about to become traitors was rammed and sunk by a huge steel ship in the icy sea, and according to the investigation of the albatross, it was confirmed that there were no fish that slipped through the net.
More than 4,000 Ming officers and soldiers disappeared, no one was born, no one died, no corpse, this incident, this incident became an unsolved case in the Ming Dynasty, before the kingdom's intelligence department made public information, the entire shipwreck sea area was spread with the legend of the steel sea monster eating people.
The other part, while dying to the Ming Dynasty, was unwilling to be traitors, so they chose the United Kingdom of China, a new type of power.
