After the night attack on Gaizhou ended, Li Ming asked his troops to rest for the night. The next day, the troops set off again. This time, the target was Haizhouwei in the north of Gaizhouwei. Liaodong Jin, Fu, Gai, Hai four prefectures, all the way to Liaoyang, from the geographical point of view, is located in the Liaohe Plain and Liaodong mountainous area of the junction, the west is the Great Plain, the east is the continuous Liaoning South Mountains.

The Military Commission's battle plan this time was to take advantage of the emptiness of the Tartar hinterland to go all the way north to Liaoyang, sweep all the villages and towns along the way, completely destroy the hinterland of Houjin, and strive to smash this area to pieces.

In order to meet the needs of the war, Li Ming selected 3,000 strong Liao people from among the Tartar entrapment slaves as auxiliaries for the troops. These Liao people were all the clothes and slaves of the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the families of officials and generals.

Nurhachi implemented the "Ji Ding grant land" to the occupied Liaodong region. In July of the sixth year of the Mandate of Heaven (the first year of the Apocalypse, 1621), he announced that the Eight Banners would be transferred to the newly conquered Han households in Liaodong, so that the Eight Banners would be inserted into the Liaodong garrison; Occupy 300,000 days of land in Liaodong Wuwei and Haizhou and other four guards, and distribute them to the soldiers of the Houjin Eight Banners.

Each male planted grain fields for five days and cotton fields for one day. "Ji Ding granted land" deprived many Han landlords and households of their land, making the Han people become serfs. However, the land was distributed to the soldiers of the Eight Banners and the officials and generals, making them feudal lords, large and small, exploiting the serfs who depended on the land, and establishing the feudal land tenure system.

These Liao people of the Tartars were coated as slaves, and they were bullied by the Tartars very miserably, and the land, houses, and even wives and daughters were robbed by the Tartars, and they had to farm and work for them, and countless Liao people were tortured to death by them.

Therefore, these Liao people also have a deep hatred for the Tartars, and they are willing to accompany the troops as auxiliaries. Li Mingzai was equipped with a captured tartar cotton armor and leather boots to protect against the cold. They were also equipped with sword weapons.

This night attack on Gaizhou reached the suddenness of the battle, so the troops captured thousands of war horses and horses, as well as a large number of carriages. Two hundred veteran ruffians who were skilled in cavalry and archery, and five hundred elite of the veteran ruffians who rode in carriages, formed the vanguard of the troops, disguised as Tartar bannermen who had fled from Gaizhou.

Li Ming picked out more than 2,000 skilled horsemen from among the veteran ruffians. A cavalry brigade was formed. In fact, only a few hundred people can charge into battle immediately, and the rest are at most infantry who can ride horses.

The remaining two brigades rode in various carriages and marched as vehicle-mounted infantry. Fortunately, from Jinzhou to Shenyang is the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong for hundreds of years to build these official road post roads, after the Jin Dynasty occupied Liaodong, it is also requisitioned a large number of Liao people to be carefully organized and maintained, the official road is about several zhang wide. The thick loess rammed road is extremely solid.

The troops followed the official post road all the way to the north, and could go directly to Shenyang. There was such a big movement here in Gaizhou, and Liaoyang, Haizhou had already received the news, and many bannermen who escaped from Gaizhou at night said that they had been attacked by the Ming army in Dongjiang Town.

Houjin's defensive lieutenant stationed in Haizhou was also very shocked when he received the news that Gaizhou had been attacked. Hurriedly sent a fast horse to report to the guard general of Houjin Liaoyang Mansion. Liaoyang Houjin's guards didn't take this very seriously. I thought it was the Ming army in Dongjiang Town who came ashore to steal chickens and dogs.

Although he also felt puzzled, Mao Wenlong of Dongjiang Town died, it is said that the people should be panicked, and the army's heart is in chaos. But he still didn't take it to heart, thinking that it was just an enemy of harassment, a plague of scabies. So he sent a horse team of more than 1,000 people, and ordered the Haizhou guards to mobilize more than 1,000 bannermen, and the two armies went to Gaizhou to exterminate the Dongjiang Ming army.

The Tartars can be said to have a deep hatred for Dongjiang Town. Never fight against your brigade, but attack the empty areas of the Tartars, as soon as the Tartar army arrives. They disappeared immediately. The Tartars also knew that sending troops was also a formality, but they couldn't help but send troops.

The flag man who escaped from Gaizhou also escaped in the dark overnight, and he didn't know much about the situation in Gaizhou, and he didn't even know how many soldiers and horses the other party had. The guards of Liaoyang and Haizhou also did not realize the severity of the problem, thinking that it was still Dongjiang Town that came ashore to harass them. And they didn't expect Gaizhou to fall at all, let alone believe that Gaizhou was broken overnight.

In the past, Dongjiang Town had little to do with the fortified Tunpu and the fortified city. That is, to harass and attack some villages and towns Zhuangzi or something. So they thought that the Gaizhou defense captain would take care of it.

Li Ming didn't know what the Houjin side thought, he only knew that the soldiers were fast and attacked Haizhou before the Tartars organized an effective attack. Song Tao and the special combat team led hundreds of soldiers and ruffians in the forward, disguised as Tartars who escaped from Gaizhou, and marched all the way to Haizhou.

In the early morning of the next day, he rushed to Yingkou Town, which is the city of Dashiqiao in modern society. He thought there would be a bad battle here, but the guards here were not as strict as he thought, that is, there were just some sentry posts than usual.

Song Tao was overjoyed when he saw this, he personally led the special combat team to occupy this place, and then took the Yaozhou Post not far from here in one go, and the defense here was also lax, even those soldiers felt incredible.

They made such a big fuss in Gaizhou, but the Tartars didn't make a tight defense here. This also made Song Tao aware of the fighter plane, he picked up the microphone of the military radio and called to Li Ming: "Dude, things are a little beyond our expectations. The Tartars did not react positively, and I guess the Tartars mistakenly thought that we were the Ming army in Dongjiang Town. I think it's a fighter, and you can't miss it, haha......

You send me a few jeeps and off-road vehicles, and I will raid overnight, and strive to clear all the official roads leading to Haizhouwei before dawn tomorrow, and take Haizhou before dawn. Now the soldiers are fast, so that the suddenness of the battle can be achieved, and before the Tartars react, where to fight counts. ”

Li Ming took the microphone and thought for a while: "You have to judge accurately, we are now deep into the hinterland of the Tartars, and the surrounding areas are the territory of the Tartars, if they mobilize all the bannermen, just harassment will be enough for us to make trouble." ”

Song Tao laughed and said: "I still think that we should seize this opportunity, before the Tatars realize the severity of the problem, we will try to expand the results of the battle, if we take Haizhou Wei in the early hours of tomorrow morning, it will be very beneficial to our next battle plan." Maybe you can go to Liaoyang or even around Shenyang. ”

"If you think you're right, tell me about your plan?"

When Song Tao heard Li Ming spit out, he said excitedly: "You transfer all the vehicles and cavalry infantry to me, and I will assault overnight today." Clear the official road to Haizhou, and strive to arrive at the city of Haizhou before the early morning of tomorrow. Then take Haizhou Wei and its surrounding tunpu and villages and towns Zhuangzi.

You led a large army to rush overnight, take over Yingkou and Yaozhou Station, and sweep the surrounding Tartar villages and towns Zhuangzi. Strive for the main force to arrive at Haizhouwei tomorrow night to complete the sweep of the area around Haizhouwei. Before the Liaoyang Tartars sent reinforcements, they smashed all the bottles and cans in Haizhou to him. ”

Li Ming listened to Song Tao's plan. I thought about it for a moment. If it is really as Song Tao judged before, Tatar does not know the specific situation of Gaizhou, then this plan can still be realized. After all, not a single Tartar in Gaizhou City escaped, the area near Gaizhou was vast and sparsely populated, and the surrounding Tunpu and villages and towns were not dense, and the three overseas brigades picked most of them in just one night.

Although a day and a night have passed. But even the Tartars who escaped that night may not fully understand the true situation of Gaizhouwei, and even if the Tartars really understand the situation here, it will take a day or two to send the news to Haizhou. Judging from Song Tao's easy victory over Yingkou and Yaozhouyi, the Tartars of Haizhou in Liaoyang did not get nervous. At least not positively arranged.

Thinking of this, Li Ming picked up the microphone again and said, "Song Tao, I agree with your battle plan, you must pay attention to safety." In the event of an abnormal situation, it is necessary to immediately lead the troops to retreat and join the main force. ”

Song Tao listened to Li Ming's words, and hurriedly said loudly: "Yes...... Guaranteed completion of the task. ”

After talking to Li Ming, Song Tao only left a small number of guards, disguised as Tartar defenders. Stationed in both places. With a band of cavalry, he began to sweep through the nearby Tartar villages, where there were very few Tartar villages.

On the fourth day of the tenth month of the tenth year of the Mandate of Heaven, Nurhachi issued a long edict. launched the Yichou Massacre, and after counting the disloyalty of the Han people, he did not stop defecting, and ordered the Eight Banners Baylor, the ministers, and the soldiers to go separately. Massacre of anti-Kim officials and civilians.

Regardless of whether it is an official or a citizen, as long as Baylor and the minister who lead the troops are not pleasing to the eye. If you think you're going to defect, kill it. No evidence is needed. Whenever someone is killed, he kills when he sees someone, which makes Liaodong dark and dark, ten rooms and nine empty, and also makes the Han people in other Ming territories outside Liaodong smell "liver and gallbladder are lost", and they grit their teeth and hate it.

Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Haizhou, and Jinzhou, which were originally densely populated, became depleted, and there is no historical record of how many Liao people were killed. Coupled with some of the bad policies such as Nurhachi's relocation of Ding Limin and Ji Ding's granting of land, there are no scattered Liao people in Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Jinzhou, and Haizhou, and almost all of them are the coated slaves of the Houjin Qiding family.

In the evening, three armored vehicles, three jeeps, and six off-road vehicles carrying some officers and men of the War Department rushed to Yingkou Town in advance, and more than 2,000 mounted infantry were also hurrying here.

Song Tao arranged the personnel left behind, and then immediately led the special combat team, as well as more than 100 elite veteran ruffians, squeezed into twelve cars, and set off before dark.

They rushed all the way, and when they saw the villages and towns next to the official road post road, they swept away it while it was dark, and before midnight they picked down the largest town on the road, Tashanpu. Finally, at one o'clock in the morning, I rushed to the vicinity of Haizhouwei. Song Tao asked the other special combat team members to hide their vehicles, and then hid near the official road post road, anxiously waiting for the arrival of the cavalry brigade.

At this time, more than 2,000 mounted infantry were galloping all the way, barely resting all the way, almost tossing them to death. Zhang Tiehammer sweated profusely and said to Wang Bo next to him: "Old Wang, how long will it take to get to Haizhou?" ”

Wang Bo endured the great pain between his legs, bared his teeth and grinned: "It's fast, it's only more than a hundred miles in total, so it's said to be fast." I've really been this way before. At that time, I had a night break in between, and it was the first time I had run like this. ”

A soldier next to him shouted: "I'm familiar with this place, I'll be there soon, but I can be regarded as surviving." After running for a while, the eggs will be shattered. ”

The surrounding ruffians laughed when they heard this.

Wang Haiyang next to him also gritted his teeth and insisted, because he had seen horses in Zhuangzi of Tartar, so he also entered the cavalry brigade, but it was the first time that he had been bumpy on the horse for such a long time.

A few colored points of light appeared in the dark night ahead, which were constantly shaking, and Wang Haiyang knew that he had finally arrived at the place. (To be continued)
