On the mouth of Lushun, hundreds of boats compete for the current, thousands of sails march, covering the sky and the sun, like thousands of troops and horses, rushing to the Liaodong Peninsula. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Ding Zhengxian looked at this scene with tears in his eyes. He remembered that more than 20 years ago, Zhang Pan at that time was also looking at the powerful sailors of the Ming Dynasty to rely on, full of ambition, led his troops to log in to Lushun, attacked all the way north, and even Fuzhou was recovered.

At that time, the sailors who were backed by the Ming Dynasty had a steady stream of supplies from China. Even if the sailors at that time could only be said to be a weak coastal transport team in the eyes of the world, every time the Manchu Qing Dynasty faced the sailors of the Ming Dynasty, they could only sigh and sigh, and they had no ambition.

Now, more than 20 years have passed, but the sailors of the Ming Dynasty are getting weaker and weaker, and the former grand occasion has never reappeared.

Looking at each other across the sea, looking at Dengzhou, which is less than a hundred miles away, Ding Zhengxian has infinite emotion every time, it seems to be close at hand, but it seems to be far away from the sky, and he can never go back.

The old country has been looking forward to it for 20 years, and it has been another year since the king looked south, and Ding Zhengxian's heart has become weaker and weaker year after year.

He thought back that it was about ten years ago, and he had already stopped thinking that Daming could fight back. He also accepted his fate, complained, told the story of the past, and sometimes took a moment to clean the tomb of the Lord, wondering when to see which descendant could have the heart, and also guarded the tomb of Zhang Pan from generation to generation.

So, he didn't feel that there was any hope.

But today, he can see the day when the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty will come back again.

Ding Zhengxian staggered to the edge of the cliff, looking at Lushun's mouth in a daze, countless ships were getting closer and closer, more and more.

In the same way, the Qing army at the mouth of Arthur also seemed to know the movement, and more than a hundred knights appeared on the coast, and they were constantly wandering and running along the coast.

I saw that they had run thousands of kilometers in a row, but they still couldn't see the end of this huge fleet.

On the coast, the sound of countless people shouting and neighing horses was noisy.

Only, suddenly, the whole land returned to calm.

On the ground, a gentle trembling sound was heard.

Ding Zhengxian turned his head to look north, he stood tall, and he could see far away.

To the north, on the official road to the northwest, a long line appeared.

When the Qing troops on the coast heard this, they cheered, thinking that they had received follow-up reinforcements. Looking at an army, Ding Zhengxian also smiled.

He, of course, was not cheering for those Qing troops who were on the coast.

Because......

He also saw the banner waving in the wind on this army that came from the north, with people like gods and horses like dragons.

It was one after another sun, moon and dragon flags.

Unfortunately, it was exactly the same as the mighty army that came from the sea.

They are all my Ming soldiers.

"It's my Ming soldier!" Ding Zhengxian let out a long breath, and finally knew where the tribute in front of him came from.

The army of the Ming Dynasty has already gone ashore!

The one who went ashore was the Red Lady Department who went all the way south from Haizhou.

They left as soon as they fought in Haizhou, and then they went south, all the way to Gaizhou, rolled up to Fuzhou, and went south.

Because this Ming army is one man and three horses, even if it is broken, it is not in a hurry to search for loot, so that when they arrived in Lushun, the Qing army here was still ignorant, and did not know that such a Ming army had arrived.

The red lady rode on a horse, dressed in red like blood, with bright armor and shining in the sun. She beckoned slightly and nudged forward. Behind him, thousands of troops and horses accelerated violently, swept and rushed towards the hundreds of Qing troops located at the mouth of Lushun.

Ding Zhengxian stared at this scene, and he remembered this scene that he will never forget.

"It was April 17, 277 of the Ming Dynasty, and on this day, the orphan on the Liaodong Peninsula finally returned to the arms of the imperial mother...... I've been waiting for this day for 20 years, I'm old, but I'm glad I finally lived to see this day......"

……

The newspaper flew north and south, and returned to the land.

The news that the Red Lady of Liaodong launched a surprise attack to recover Lushun soon spread back to the Beijing Division. More and more detailed information is being disclosed.

With support on land, the huge fleet, which had no port to dock into, finally did not have to worry about being attacked by Bandu.

The large fleet, which was able to land smoothly, tilted countless military supplies from the Empire to the shore, accompanied by a large number of sappers. They built ports, built barracks, repaired city walls, arranged defense lines, and even transported their idle capacity back to the Liao people who were walking on various small islands in the south and north of Liaodong.

Relying on thousands of large and small ships, the Liao people who were originally displaced in various places could finally leave their homeland for a long time, taking the seeds of ploughing cattle issued by the imperial court, and what they had been looking forward to all their lives: land.

With a large number of returning Liaomin, this narrow peninsula of the Liaodong Peninsula became more and more impregnable.

Capital.

In the Yan Garden, Zhu Cihong took a walk comfortably.

Of course, the indispensable thing is the queen Zhao Shiyao by her side. Recently, it is rare that there is nothing important in Hengxin Commercial Bank, and Zhao Shiyao has fallen in love with a new hobby: gardening.

As a result, Yan Garden has become a new garden, which is close to the Chongzhi Hall in Zhongnanhai, which is Zhu Cihong's favorite place to come in his spare time.

Taking care of the flowers in the yard every day, I can talk to Zhao Shiyao whenever I have time, but it is also a great joy in life.

There are too many masters in the world to smell, and they all revolve around Zhu Cihong.

This kind of authority is in me, and the desire for power controlled by me in the world is certainly intoxicating, but after a long time, it is also a little tiring to always ponder these things in people's hearts.

Today, Zhu Cihong accompanied the queen around the garden, and also took care of his own flowers and plants.

Unlike Zhao Shiyao, who likes peonies and narcissus like a normal daughter, Zhu Cihong's things are a little unique, called keels.

Of course, not many people know about it, but when it comes to the types of this thing, everyone is familiar with it.

The keel is a well-known succulent. Moreover, this thing is not absent in history. As early as the Song Dynasty, someone raised it, and it was something that a person named Fan Dacheng mentioned in his "Guihai Grass and Trees Chronicles".

Keel triangular overlord whip, Caiyun Pavilion, many people think that it is a cactus plant, but it is actually a succulent plant of the Euphorbiaceae family and Euphorbiaceae.

This thing looks like a columnar cactus in shape, but it is much larger than ordinary cacti, two or three meters tall, with 3 to 4 edges. Of course, as with cacti, there are thorns.

Zhu Cihong waits for this thing every day, but he looks happy, and his mood is really relaxed.

The time of happiness is always short-lived, and not long after Zhao Shiyao and Zhu Cihong talked and laughed, they saw the attendant come over and whispered: Yang Wenyue asks to see.

The prefect of the Privy Council wanted to come to see him, and Zhu Cihong naturally would not refuse.

After saying hello, the place to meet was still in a small pavilion in Yanyuan.

The pavilion had already prepared a plate of almost fruits prepared by the palace people, Zhu Cihong ate a few casually, and when he saw that Yang Wenyue was also here, he beckoned Yang Wenyue to sit down and use some fruit points together.

Yang Wenyue first saluted, and then saluted to Queen Zhao Shiyao solemnly, and then thanked him with a glance and used fruits.

Zhao Shiyao smiled lightly, excused herself, and said a few more gossips with Zhu Cihong before withdrawing.

At this time, there was no one else, Yang Wenyue was much more relaxed, and said: "Holy Lord, the news of Liaodong has come back." Zhu Di's general army set out from Phoenix City, rushed thousands of miles to attack Haizhou, created the main force of the Qing army at the beginning of the First World War, and went south under the starry night, broke Gaizhou, recovered Zhou, Kejin Prefecture, and arrived in Lushun. Subsequently, he received the Dengzhou Water Division. At present, it is estimated that a total of 50,000 Liao people have gone ashore and begun to settle in southern Liaoning. The cabinet also cooperated and prepared the materials needed for reclamation in late spring. Now, the Red Lady Department has deployed defense on the front line of South Guam. At the same time, a month ago, the Fourth Division of the Jinwu Army, which was originally stationed in Ningyuan, had also arrived in Jiulian City, and set off for Phoenix City with the Foreign Legion stationed in Pyongyang to meet the defense vacancy after the departure of the Red Lady Division. ”

"The Privy Council is going well. The fourth division is Wu Sangui's part. He has no problem guarding Phoenix. Zhu Cihong went through the map in his mind and understood that Wei Dao was coming: "What is the reaction of the Qing people?" ”

"According to the intelligence, Ao Bai was angry, but there was nothing he could do. They never imagined that one day they would not be able to catch up with us. Yang Wenyue said, laughing heartily.

The Central Plains Empire fought against the grassland peoples, and one of the things that people had to sigh about was the problem of the cavalry.

This point, except for the Han and Tang dynasties, has almost always become the biggest shortcoming of the Central Plains Empire. It was too much work for a two-legged foot soldier to fight a four-legged cavalry. Generally speaking, there is no problem in carrying the guard, but it is not easy to play an advantage to chase, then it is too difficult.

But in the same way, the Qing people also did not expect that one day the cavalry advantage of the Ming army would be so great.

Speaking of which, it is actually the result of Zhu Cihong's victory over Shengjing that year.

At the beginning, when Zhu Cihong went on an expedition to Korea, in order to make the cavalry battalion form a combat force, he transported a large number of horses at any cost.

Later, after conquering Shengjing, several battles along the way also captured a large number of war horses.

Later, the Ming Dynasty won, and the soldiers could return home by boat, but the horses were difficult. There can be no more one who will transport tens of thousands of war horses back to China regardless of cost and loss. If this is the case, the horses that die at sea alone will not know how many cavalry regiments can be equipped.

Naturally, these remaining war horses will not be empty. Except for some of the real unusable ones that were used for civilian use, such as reclaiming fields, most of the war horses were equipped with Liaodong Town, that is, the Red Lady's department.

This time, the red lady gathered elite soldiers and strong generals, brought a new type of cannon that could be disassembled and transported on the war horse, and used the luxury power of one person, three horses or even four horses to run, and the effect was naturally unexpectedly good.

Listening to Yang Wenyue's laughter, Zhu Cihong also sighed slightly: "It's really good to be able to defeat Lushun." Every time you have to detour through Jiulian City, it is not only inconvenient, but also a pity because of the distance between Dengzhou and Lushun. ”

Dengzhou and Lushun are too close, not only separated by an old Tieshan waterway, but also the many islands in the middle can also be said to be more distributed.

It can be said that if you go to Lushun from Dengzhou, if it is all land, it is the distance from TJ to Jingshi. If you want to take the waterway, it is only a trip from TJ to Texas.

Such a close distance is naturally of great military significance. Set up a fortress here, backed by the good port of Arthur Mouth, no matter how fierce the Qing army is to attack, it can drag ten times the enemy from being breached.

If Zhang Pan had not rebelled behind him, maybe Lushun would still be able to stay in the hands of the Ming Dynasty at this moment.

"That's what the Holy One said, but ...... There are also many people who are confused. In a few words, Yang Wenyue said the purpose of this trip, in fact, even as far as he was concerned, he was quite confused.

"This time, I really don't know which way is the main attack." As the privy envoy of the Privy Council, Yang Wenyue still failed to be like the Western Prime Minister in the Song and Song dynasties: "This time, isn't it the supervision of the West Road? ”

What's more, he is still Zhu Cihong's chief of staff, rather than the privy council envoys of the Song and Song dynasties, who have the aura of a prime minister and huge authority.

Therefore, Zhu Cihong approved the backstabbing plan of the Red Lady in Liaodong Town, and the Privy Council could only implement it first and then wonder.

"The progress of the West Road is urgent." Zhu Cihong waved his hand: "I can also trust the skills of the Ni Qing family." Of course I understand the thoughts of the people below. The main attack is not the main attack, but I don't think so. ”

"In my opinion, the enemy of the Qing people, without using the last bit of strength, must not be taken lightly. Let's put Liaodong such a huge advantage, it's a pity not to use it. It's just that I was just thinking about how to plan to make a fuss in Liaodong before, but I didn't expect the red lady to have such a proper plan, so I naturally tried my best to promote it. As for the question of which is more important, the east road and the west road......" Zhu Cihong said, but suddenly chuckled.

"After all, it's different." Zhu Cihong laughed.

Yang Wenyue was slightly enlightened and thought of something.

Zhu Cihong said again: "I only need to tell me, plus a war in Liaodong, how is my Ming treasury, how is it, can it hold up?" How about my Ming ordnance, can it still be supplied? Are you tired of military salaries, rations, and ordnance as soon as they are logistically supplied? ”

Yang Wenyue understood: "No! ”

"Da Ming and Jiannu have never been an equal enemy. Jiannu is powerful and a tiger. And Da Ming, who used to be a vain giant, is now a giant with a larger body and not all sharp claws. The giant's style of play is not only on the claws, but also on the volume. If you don't necessarily win with your fists, you jumped up and gave him an elbow. Zhu Cihong said slowly: "Wouldn't it be more wonderful to crush the past and win with the size of a big country?" ”

"So, what is the main attack or not, I really didn't think much about that. Because, my Ming Dynasty already has enough strength to launch a big battle on two battlefields at the same time. This is not my arrogance, it is really ...... Now it's not what it used to be, I'm Ming, I'm not that weak Ming! Zhu Cihong said, his eyes were bright. (To be continued.) )
