"Quick, put out the fire!"

The night of Seoul was full of flames, and the raging flames turned the mansion of the Tartars into ashes.

And at the same time that Shuichiro Yoshino was slaughtering the Tartars in Seoul at night, the Tartar mission that left Seoul at noon and was about to return was also ambushed by Fujino Yokokawa on the way.

"Lord Fujino, it has been counted, a total of 238 people, including 5 Tartars, 233 escorts, all of them Mongolians and Koreans, all of them have been ambushed, and none of them have escaped the net.

Our casualties were not small, 34 killed and 19 wounded, but we managed to complete the mission successfully. ”

On the road north of Seoul, a Japanese slave was covered in blood, and the corpses were strewn all over the field, and the blood flowed like a river, and Fujino Yokokawa sat on a corpse and listened to the report of the Japanese slave.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, Fujino Yokokawa also showed a faint smile on his fierce face, and said coldly: "Cut off the heads of those five Tartars, and don't worry about the rest."

Take the wounded brothers, and the fallen brothers should also be taken away, do not leave any clues, and immediately retreat. ”

"Yes."

This time, Li Zixiao sent two teams at the same time, 'Hound' Yoshino and 'Hyena' Fujino, to enter Korea mainly to eliminate the Tartar mission.

At the same time, Li Zixiao asked the two to lead their teams and complete a task, which also created a competitive environment for the two.

Li Zixiao believed that when Huang Taiji received it, the mission he sent out would be wiped out, and even the Tartars who remained in Seoul would be slaughtered, and he would definitely go crazy.

At the same time, this is also one of Li Zixiao's serial schemes, he wants to make Huang Taiji think that North Korea has fallen to the Ming Dynasty again.

The king of Joseon, Li Liang, is still trying in vain to wait and see between Tatar and Daming, swaying from side to side, Li Zixiao will not give Li Liang this opportunity.

And soon, before dawn, Li Liang, who was still sleeping in the palace of the Joseon Dynasty, was woken up by the minister who entered the palace overnight to report.

Peng!

"Waste, it's all a bunch of waste, and you didn't even notice it in advance when people did such a big case under our noses.

This is still in the lonely capital, what's the use of raising you alone, so far I haven't even caught any of those thieves, and let them escape from the city.

And it's still the people of the Qing Kingdom who died, and there is a Baylor of the Qing Kingdom in it, you know no, you are really angry with Lonely, how do you let Lone explain to the Emperor of the Qing State! ”

When Li Liang was disturbed in the middle of the night and heard the reports of several ministers under him, he was directly angry, smashed porcelain, and scolded his ministers angrily.

It's no wonder that Li Qi is so angry, this matter is really big, after all, so many Tartars have died, he is worried that Huang Taiji will be angry with him!

Moreover, Li Liang didn't expect that someone would dare to commit such a big case in his own capital, which was simply slapping him in the face!

For North Korea, Seoul is equivalent to the capital of the Ming Dynasty, in other words, it is equivalent to the feet of the Son of Heaven.

At the same time, this also shows something, which shows that the defense of his capital is too weak, and it also shows how bold and high the means of the perpetrators are.

And after dawn, when the corpses on the ground in the north of Seoul were found and reported to Li Liang in the Seoul Palace, Li Liang sat directly on the chair.

"Quickly, send someone quickly, report to the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom, the mission was not killed by us, please rest assured that the Emperor of the Qing Kingdom will definitely give them a satisfactory explanation."

Li Liang was so frightened that his hands and feet broke out in a cold sweat, and shouted to his ministers.

Subsequently, Li Liang left several of his henchmen alone and asked: "What do you teammates think of this matter, can you guess who did it?" ”

"King, who did it this time, do you still need to guess? A discerning person can know at a glance who did it, and now who can hate Tartar so much, except for the people of the Ming Dynasty? ”

After hearing Li Liang's inquiry, he had a heavy minister, with a cold face, and said in a cold voice.

"My lord, do you still have any questions? Hates Tartar so much, this time he went straight to Tartar, naturally he is a person from the Ming Dynasty, but I don't know if the main envoy this time is the General Li Zixiao on Jeju Island.

But whether it is the mastermind of General Li or not, this time it was all deliberately done by Daming, just to reunite the relationship between us and the Qing Dynasty, and his heart can be punished. ”

A white-bearded minister, at this time, looked very angry and said angrily.

This time, even some Tingming factions in North Korea were silent at this time.

"Deceive too much, deceive too much."

Li Qi muttered in his mouth. Li Liang was most worried about the Qing Dynasty's revenge at this time.

"The king, according to the information I just got from the surrounding people and the soldiers defending the city, the one who entered the city this time and attacked the residence of the Qing delegation was a group of Oriental Japanese slaves."

A North Korean general who specializes in the defense of Seoul stood up and said at this time.

"Damn the widows, these rats, Da Ming actually used these widows again."

After Li Qi heard the name of the Japanese slave, his eyes became even more angry, and he hated Japan and Korea very much.

At that time, it was the Japanese who crossed the strait and attacked Korea, and if it were not for the Ming Dynasty sending a large army to defeat the Japanese slaves, there would be no Korea at this time.

Yoshino and Fujino, after leading the team to successfully complete the two tasks, immediately returned to Tamna Island to resume their lives.

Time passed, and the days soon came to the end of January of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, and at this time, a month had passed since the 8,000 'Zhenliao' army led by Liu Chong landed in southern Liaoning.

In this month's time, the progress of the 'Zhenliao' army was quite smooth.

The battle record is quite dazzling, Liu Chong not only led a thousand people, but also conquered Jinzhou, Fuzhou, Yongning, and Gaizhou cities in the early stage, annihilating thousands of Qing troops, including seven or eight hundred real Tartars.

In the end, although Liu Chong still took the initiative to evacuate Gaizhou, Ning, and Fuzhou, in addition to Gaizhou, Liu Chong and the others finally moved away the people of these two states.

Liu Chong not only moved the local people away, but also emptied everything that could be moved, and in the end, all the people who could not be moved were burned, and even the crops in the field were destroyed.

In this way, from the north of Jinzhou, or to the west, there are basically not a few people, and all of them have become a scorched earth and turned into a no-man's land.

More than 100,000 people were relocated to the area south of the Great Black Mountain of Jinzhou, and some of the people began to cultivate fields in the 130 miles south of Jinzhou, while the rest were mostly rushing to build castles and digging canals.

It was precisely because Liu Chong migrated so many people to Jinzhou that Kong Xuanming recruited enough migrant workers in Jinzhou, more than 40,000 people.

With this large number of migrant workers, Kong Xuanming's several projects in Jinzhou have been able to progress very quickly.

In particular, the three fortress castles of Montenegro, Dongshan and Nanshan, which are the most important of them, have basically taken shape after a month of focused construction.

They are surrounded by the fortress forts on these three hills around Jinshan City, and dozens of large-caliber artillery and fortress long-barreled howitzers are arranged in the castle.

Powerful artillery fire, coupled with the latest design of fortress-like fortresses, made these fortresses far more powerful than traditional fortresses.

Around each fort, a number of small fort batteries were set up to support each other in the event of an enemy attack.

The city of Jinzhou has also been re-fortified, and the original city has deepened moats, fortresses, and forts.

In addition, outside the city, several fortresses capable of garrisoning thousands of people have also been added.

Outside the city of Jinzhou today, there are fortress forts all over the place, and there are trenches and traps everywhere.

Moreover, not far south of Jinzhou City, the Jinzhou Canal, which Kong Xuanming has recruited migrant workers to excavate, although it has just begun, is only as wide as a trench.

At present, the Jinzhou Canal has been dug one zhang wide and one zhang deep, and Kong Xuanming is still leading migrant workers to excavate

However, at this time, because it was winter, it was not suitable for digging the canal, so Kong Xuanming temporarily focused his energy on building fortress forts.

According to their original plan, the canal was to be dug at least two zhang deep and seven zhang wide, so that ships could pass directly.

Even the largest three-masted gunboat in the White Dragon Army's naval army can pass through, which is not a small project, and large-scale excavation will have to wait at least until after the beginning of spring.

At that time, Kong Xuanming will be able to recruit more people to excavate this canal.

At this time, it was the middle of winter, and Kong Xuanming could only recruit the strongest young people, otherwise other people would not be able to do such tiring work in such a cold day.

After the excavation of the Golden State Canal is completed, its biggest role is not only for navigation, but also for direct access to the Golden State from the sea.

The biggest role of this canal is to protect Lushun Zhenhai and other places in the south of Jinzhou, so that the Tartar cavalry, who lack sea power and are good at riding and shooting, cannot easily break through this moat.

When the time comes, it will be impossible for the Tatar cavalry to easily bypass Jinzhou and penetrate deep into southern Liaoning.

At the same time, the canal can also be greatly protected, and it is located in the city of Jinzhou to the north of the canal.

In this way, there is the Great Black Mountain to the north of Jinzhou, and there are East Mountain and South Mountain to the east and west, and the commanding heights on three sides are guarded by fortresses and forts.

Only the south side was originally a plain, and when the canal was successfully excavated, it could be cut off, and at the same time, the two bays of Jinzhou Bay and Qingni Bay could be connected.

And let the White Dragon Army's naval gunboats, when necessary, enter the canal south of Jinshan from Liangwan to provide artillery support.

Although Jinzhou City will be north of the canal, it can be safer with its unique location and the protection of the forts on the surrounding hills.

At that time, Jinzhou City will think of an incomparably hard nail, and the nail canal north will become the northern gateway of Lushun, which is more than 100 miles south of Jinzhou.

As long as the time comes, the Tartars can't take Jinzhou, and they will never want to attack Lushun and Qingniwa.

"I didn't expect that these 'Shandong Sankuang disciples' are really all cowards! The Geng Zhongming before was, but I didn't expect that the one who came later, Shang Kexi, was even better!

Since Shang Kexi led more than 10,000 traitor soldiers to Gaizhou, he has been shrinking in Gaizhou for more than a month. I didn't send him to attack us.

It is convenient for us to build these defensive fortresses in Jinzhou smoothly.

Now I can't wait, I hope he will come sooner, with those fortress forts, it is basically impossible for Shang Kexi, this traitor, to drive us away again. ”

Li Sheng accompanied Liu Chong to return to Jinzhou from Hongzui Fort today, and was standing on a newly completed fortress outside Jinzhou City, laughing loudly.

Liu Chong still had a cold face that did not smile, but he was not surprised by Li Sheng's words.

"As the general expected before, the Tartars would not come in person, it was indeed these traitor soldiers who were sent, and it was normal for Shang Kexi to do so.

We broke through the three states in a short period of time, and the momentum was like a rainbow, Shang Kexi didn't dare to lead the army, and rushed directly to find us for a decisive battle, because the Tartars did not allow him to do this.

Shang Kexi is also a seasoned and experienced veteran who knows how to take care of the overall situation, not that he doesn't want to take the lead in encircling and suppressing us, but that Tartar didn't let him do it for the time being.

According to the intelligence, Huang Taiji had already arrived in Yizhou a month ago, and Huang Taiji knew very well that the focus of their operations at this time was in Jinzhou, not Jinzhou.

Therefore, he couldn't take care of us for the time being, and asked Shang Kexi to hold us back in southern Liaoning, so that they could successfully fight the main force of our Ming army in Jinzhou. ”

Liu Chong immediately said in a deep voice, in this matter, he saw it more clearly than Li Sheng.

"It's okay if you don't like it, just give us a chance to gain a firm foothold, and wait another month for the start of spring.

When the time comes, the Liaohai will be unsealed, and we can get replenishment from the sea at any time, and even if the Tartar army comes in person, our 'Zhenliao' legion will be able to stand still. ”

Li Sheng said with a smile at the end.

"That's right, now that the enemy doesn't take the initiative to attack us, then we can operate in Jinzhou with peace of mind, the enemy doesn't move, I don't move, time is favorable to us."

Liu Chong got off his horse, walked to a hillside, looked at a group of migrant workers wearing cotton clothes, braving such cold weather, and still building a fortress not far away, and said to Li Sheng.

"After the beginning of spring, we will clean up the coastal islands, and in the future, we will never allow any more Tartar plates to go to the sea above the Liaohai Sea."

Speaking of this, Liu Chong's eyes once again revealed a strong killing intent.

After Li Sheng heard this, he smiled and said: "It turns out that the general has already thought about it, and those islands in the sea really need to be cleaned up at that time."

Otherwise, if it is not in our hands, we really don't feel at ease, when the Liaohai Sea is unsealed, with Lord Lu Yuan leading the naval fleet to assist us, it will be very simple to clean up these islands. ”

After a pause, Li Sheng continued: "I don't know when the Jinzhou side in the north will be able to fight, if they don't fight, the general will not be able to act on Tamna Island."

Huang Taiji is really calm enough, Hong Chengchou is the same, Jinzhou is already 100,000 in a hurry, he just hides in Ningyuan and does not advance, now it depends on who falls first. ”

"It should be soon, let's wait patiently, this battle is very important for both sides, it depends on who can have the last laugh, and we can't help much." Liu Chongying said.
