Chapter 307: The Rebellion on Phi Dao
Gao Jianguo stepped down from the train, and he received a report that he had interrogated more than a dozen Tartar prisoners, and learned that it was Abatai who led the team this time, and now he was being screened and identified.
Therefore, Gao Jianguo, Li Yukun, Shi Mingfeng and others took the train to the railway blocking position. The commanders of the various detachments of the strong and strong forces greeted them.
"Salute ......," the mighty man shouted.
Gao Jianguo returned a military salute, and then laughed and said: "This battle is good, hard work everyone." Did Abatai find it? ”
"Found it, it's been killed."
Gao Jianguo hurriedly asked, "That unit killed you?" ”
Qiang Quansheng smiled bitterly, and told Gao Jianguo about the militia company killing Abatai. After listening to the words of the powerful power, Gao Jianguo and the others also looked at each other.
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "It seems that this Liu Degui is a deputy general, and it is unimaginable that such a big fish can be caught." Kill the enemy's main general, this is a great achievement! Lao Shi, your political department should come up with a charter and focus on commending them. ”
The commanders of the machine-gun artillery positions on several trains around them were full of remorse when they heard this. They lost the boss, dozens of machine guns, twelve cannons, and more than 2,000 Tartar cavalry were all wiped out by them, but such a big fish was stunned under their noses, swaggering over, and what was even more embarrassing was that Abatai actually died under the fire cap guns of those turtle militiamen.
Gao Jianguo said with a smile: "Let a Tartar go back, let Huang Taiji take something to ransom Abatai's body, and tell the Tartar, if you dare to stab again in the future, we will go to Shenyang to destroy them in the Far East." ”
Huang Taiji had no idea that his 3,000 elite horse team would be wiped out in less than a day. He is now more concerned about Phi Dao in Dongjiang Town. Liu Xingzhi bought most of the middle and lower rank generals of the Ming army on Phi Island with the gold and silver and letters of appointment sent by Guò Tartar.
The Tartars spared no effort to take the Dongjiang River. A lot of gold and silver alone were given away. Liu Xingzhi now made an alliance with Houjin as a vassal state, declared himself a vassal to Huang Taiji and claimed to be subservient, that is, he had taken refuge in Houjin. Divide the coastal islands and establish an "independent" kingdom.
In order to solve the trouble of the Dongjiang River, Huang Taiji also temporarily recognized Liu Xingzhi's vassal status and swore an oath with him. This is still very attractive to the generals of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town. After all, from beginning to end, they didn't have much sense of belonging to Daming.
Since Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, the hearts of the people in Dongjiang have been scattered. In 1621, Mao Wenlong was ordered by Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, to lead 197 warriors, including Mao Chenglu, You Jinghe, Wang Fu, and Chen Zhong, to go deep behind enemy lines and first recover more than 2,000 miles of coastal islands such as Pig Island, Ocean Island, Changshan Island, and Guanglu Island.
It can be said that Dongjiang Town is a team pulled up by Mao Wenlong from scratch, and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians he gathered on the Dongjiang Islands only listened to Mao Wenlong's orders. Most of the soldiers in Dongjiang Town are fugitives from Liaodong, or the remnants of the original Ming army in Liaodong, and they have a deep blood feud with the Tartars.
But now that Mao Wenlong was actually killed by Yuan Chonghuan, it is impossible for the generals of the East to have no resentment in their hearts, and they are all very cold. Huang Taiji is not like his father Nurhachi, who changed the previous policy of "killing Han people and raising Manchuria", but reused a large number of Han people. So they still believe in what Huang Taiji promised.
When Yuan Chonghuan killed Mao Wenlong, Liu Xingzhi and his brothers were reused by Yuan Chonghuan. Therefore, the contradiction between the Liu brothers and the old department of Mao Wenlong on the island is more acute. Chen Jisheng, the acting chief soldier of Phi Dao, was Mao Wenlong's right-hand man back then, and the relationship between him and Liu Xingzhi has always been very tense.
In April 1630, Liu Xingzhi mourned Liu Xingzuo on Phi Island, and all the generals of Dongjiang Town and the islands went to mourn. Liu Xingzhi took the opportunity to kill the old department of Dongjiang Mao Wenlong, including Chen Jisheng, the designer general, and greatly damaged the strength of the old department of Dongjiang Mao Wenlong.
Later, Zhou Wenyu, deputy chief soldier of Shanhaiguan, entered the island to pacify. Liu Xingzhi saw that the time was not ripe for rebellion, so he could only accept appeasement. But he always wanted to defect to the Tartars, hoping that the Tartars would support him to establish the Dongjiang Sea Kingdom. After all, Huang Taiji attached great importance to him, and sent several letters one after another to envelop him.
The sky was getting brighter, and the morning on Phi Island was full of blood. Liu Xingzhi and the rebel generals of Phi Dao were standing on the pier of Phi Dao, waiting for the arrival of the Houjin Tartar army. Last night, they instigated a large number of Dongjiang rebels and launched a rebellion.
Most of the middle and lower-level generals of the Ming Dynasty in Dongjiang have been bought by Liu Xingzhi. Moreover, there are hundreds of Tartars who have secretly come to the island, including nearly two hundred of the most elite White Swing Tooth La. It took them only one night to capture Phi Island. Shen Shikui and other generals on Phi Dao were killed by them.
A few days ago, several thousand horses of the Houjin army had already left the border town of Yiju to raid the territory of North Korea and take Xuanchuan directly. From Xuanchuan to divide the troops into four routes: all the way into Shepu, all the way to occupy Pukou, all the way to occupy Guoshan Xuanshapu, all the way to occupy Jiading. The four places occupied by the Houjin are on the coastal line from the northeast to the east of the island, forming a semi-encirclement of the island from the land. And under the leadership of the rebel generals of Tieshan Dongjiang, he got in touch with Phi Dao.
The hundreds of warships and merchant ships on the island were also captured by Liu Xingzhi, and now they have sent ships to Tieshan to pick up the Tartar soldiers to the island. Next, the Tatars will help Liu Xingzhi sweep the coastal islands of southern Liaoning.
Next to Liu Xingzhi stood a young general of Tartar, who was not very old, but he was very strong, and his face was full of fierceness. He glanced at Liu Xingzhi and the others next to him disdainfully, and then complained to the Tartar generals in front of him: "My lord, why should we help these Nikans and kill them all, isn't Dongjiang ours?" ”
This Tartar army will be the Swing Tooth Lama Zhangjing Yild, in fact, he will be the commander of the Manchu Qing protector army in the future. It was also the leader of the Tartars who went to the island to help Liu Xingzhi this time, and he said with a smile: "You can't do without them." Although our Jurchen warriors are brave, they can't handle boats, and they can't defend these islands after they have conquered the Dongjiang River, so we can only use them to help us defend them. Stabilize them first, and then the Great Khan will figure out a way later.
Aobai, you can't make trouble, even I can't protect you if you spoil the matter of the Great Khan. You, Amma, gave you over to me to take with you, but you told me that you have broken the military discipline, and I will punish you as well. ”
After listening to Yild's words, Ao Bai didn't take it very seriously, but he also knew the importance of Dongjiang, and although he said so, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
At this time, dozens of Phi Dao military ships sailed over from the direction of Tieshan and slowly approached the pier of Phi Dao. A large number of fierce Tartars landed on Phi Island from the ship. A Tartar army general stepped off the boat surrounded by a group of Houjin generals, and Liu Xingzhi and other rebel generals from Phi Dao immediately met him.
The person who came was the right-wing coach of Tartar's attack on Phi Island this time, and Liu Xingzhi walked up and bowed respectfully.
"Meet the General."
Leng Eli helped Liu Xingzhi up, laughed and said: "General Liu is too outside, we will be a family in the future, what are you doing with such a life?" In the future, I will have to rely on the general's sailors, haha......"
The two got very affectionate, and I don't know if I thought they were close friends for many years. The Tartars attached great importance to this Phi Island raid, and Huang Taiji issued a death order to the Tartar generals, and he must be more encircled by Liu Xingzhi of Phi Island. If the trouble of Phi Dao is not eliminated, the Tartar will not even be able to sleep.
Liu Xingzhi had already set up a banquet, and he took a few brothers and a group of rebel generals from Phi Dao, and the Tartar generals such as Leng Eli and drank heartily. Both the host and the guest were very excited.
The next day, Liu Xingzhi drove a sea boat, carrying many rebels and rebels from Tartar and Phi Island, and attacked the nearby Shenmi Island, followed by Lianxia Island and Yamato Island. The town of Dongjiang at the mouth of the Yalu River and the islands off the coast of North Korea all fell into the hands of Liu Xingzhi within a few days.
Because Liu Xingzhi has done a lot of work, the other islands in Dongjiang Town don't know anything about the changes that have happened in Phi Island in the past few days. Not to mention Huang Long, the chief soldier who was far away in Lushun, he didn't know anything.
Liu Xingzhi sent people to Lushun again to ask Huanglong for help, saying that the Tartar army had pressed the border, and now they had occupied Shepu, Pukou, Guoshan, Xuanshapu, Jiading, and Tieshan in Korea. Soon, we will attack Phi Dao.
Huanglong, who was in Lushun, was also in a hurry now, and thousands of Tartars were returning to the state, and they could attack Jinzhou at any time. He received two urgent reports almost at the same time, one from Phi Dao. There was also a distress letter from North Korea.
The content of the two letters was almost the same, and Huang Long did not doubt that he had him, so he had to send sailors to Phi Dao to support. He also ordered the Ming troops on Changshan Island, Wangjia Island, Shicheng Island, Guanglu Island and other places to go out to support Phi Dao. Even the new generals of Ocean Island received orders.
The sailors of each fort and island in Dongjiang Town sailed to the direction of Phi Dao one after another, preparing to rescue Phi Dao. However, as soon as a large number of warships docked at the pier of Phi Dao, Liu Xingzhi put the guards under house arrest.
Most of the sailors in Dongjiang Town were detained, and it was not until a military ship escaped from Phi Dao that the news of the Phi Dao rebellion was reported to Huanglong. The generals of Dongjiang Town learned that Phi Dao had rebelled.
After Huang Long learned the news, his eyes suddenly darkened, and he knew that something was wrong. At this time, the Tartars of Fuzhou also moved, and pushed all the way to Jinzhou, and the troops approached the city of Lushun, so that Huanglong did not dare to divide his troops to rescue Phi Dao. Moreover, most of the Dongjiang sailors were also deceived by Phi Dao, and the sailors and generals were all detained by Liu Xingzhi.
He had no choice but to send someone to take a clipper and report to Dengzhou urgently. However, Liu Xingzhi didn't give them a chance at all, spilled a lot of silver, and persuaded a large number of Dongjiang water division generals to surrender. Then the rebels carrying Tartar and Dongjiang Town in a boat left Phi Island and pounced in the direction of the big and small Changshan Islands.
For the menacing Phi Island rebels, Huang Long and the generals of Dongjiang Town were deeply worried. If Liu Xingzhi and his group of Ming rebels alone, they would not be afraid, but Liu Xingzhi actually lured the Tartars in, then Dongjiang Town would become precarious. R1152
