Phi Island, located in the east of the Yalu River estuary, is located in the west of the Korean Gulf, also known as the Dongjiang River. Phi Island is 15 miles from east to west and 10 miles from north to south, and the island is basically not grassy and not large. But the location is very important, in the late Ming Dynasty, Phi Island was located between Liaodong, North Korea, and Houjin, and the north shore of the sea was 80 miles to reach the Houjin Holding District, and the eastern North Sea was North Korea.

Liu Xingzhi and Liu Xingpei, Liu Xingzuo, Liu Xingji, Liu Xingliang, Liu Xingxian, Liu Xingbang and other seven brothers have long guarded Liaodong, ranking fifth, also known as Liu Wu. Kaiyuan City was broken by Nurhachi, the leader of Jianzhou, and all the Liu brothers surrendered to Houjin, and later returned to Ming with his brother Liu Xingzuo anyway.

Because Li Ming and Song Tao took advantage of the time when Huang Taiji entered the customs, they raided Gaizhou Haizhou. caused Huang Taiji to face the Dongjiang River again, and history was changed. Huang Taiji received Liu Xingzhi's letter, but did not reply in March of the following year, as in history. Instead, he immediately sent a traitor to land on Phi Island by boat at the risk of death and contact Liu Xingzhi.

In order to seize Phi Dao, Huang Taiji can be said to have invested enough money and promised many conditions to the Liu brothers, which made the Liu Xingzhi brothers very excited. They still trust Huang Taiji, after all, he is different from the old slave, and after inheriting the throne, he shows his eloquence.

Therefore, the Liu brothers are very enthusiastic about defecting to the Tartars, and have been carefully preparing and planning to defect. And contacted a large number of Ming army generals, and also wrote an "oath" and secretly sent it to Huang Taiji.

Huang Taiji received the "oath", but also gave a positive response, but also began to make great preparations, Huang Taiji appointed the general soldier Leng Erli as the commander of the right wing, Kake Duli as the commander of the left wing, led 2,000 cavalry, 5,000 infantry, as the conquest of the Dongjiang troops.

and sent a group of elite white-armored guards of the Tartars, a total of more than 100 to the shore of Iron Mountain. He was going to take the ship sent by Liu Xingzhi to pick up Phi Dao and help Liu Xingzhi's brothers seize Phi Dao.

These more than 100 white-armored guards are the most elite army of the Tartars. There were only ten Tartars per Niulu, and there were only 3,000 white-armored guards in the entire Houjin regime.

In order to encircle the Liu brothers and Phi Dao and prepare to surrender their Ming army, Huang Taiji also sent gold, silver, jewelry and blank commission documents in advance, and the Tartars spared no effort to seize Phi Dao. Originally, Liu Xingzhi did not win over the generals of the Ming army in history. Under such temptation, they were also shaken and won over by the Liu brothers.

Just when Liu Xingzhi's brothers were nervously preparing, Li Ming's combined fleet had already arrived on Jeju Island. Li Ming and Song Tao stepped off the No. 1 landing ship, and the military and political personnel of Jeju went to the dock to greet the combined fleet.

Wang Yaoguo and other officers and soldiers of the Military Commission saluted Li Ming one after another, and took Li Ming and Song Tao and his party to the Jeju Garrison Headquarters. Li Ming asked Wang Yaowu as he walked.

"How many soldiers can go to the battlefield in Jeju, I will use them immediately."

Wang Yaowu was stunned when he heard this, and he immediately replied: "Now there are two battalions of 1,000 people from the 2nd Brigade of the Overseas Corps stationed on Jeju Island, and more than 1,000 Korean auxiliaries can be put together. ”

Li Ming frowned. There are still fewer people, and the North Korean auxiliaries can't use them. If troops were to be transferred from the islands, the delay would be long. He then asked, "How many pirates can the Jeju Island Coastal Garrison draw out?" ”

Wang Yaowu thought for a moment and said, "There are only more than 300 pirates who were newly trained last year and were assigned to the Jeju Coastal Garrison. ”

Li Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It seems that we really have to transfer troops, this time the Tartars may attack Phi Dao, it is estimated that there will be at least a few thousand armored soldiers, my idea is to wrap them around the Iron Mountain." Don't let any of them go. But this point of troops can't be contained, we are on a mission at sea this time. Not even a car was brought out. ”

Wang Yaowu suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile: "I forgot about them, a while ago, the various units of the Overseas Corps sent a group of soldiers with good performance to Jeju, trained in the Jeju training camp for six months, and then went back as non-commissioned officers of various units. They're training here now, and there are more than a thousand of them. These guys are pretty good. We also have a garrison battalion in the garrison area, plus a machine gun company, and there are more than 500 people. ”

When Li Ming heard this, he was overjoyed, and there were more than 1,000 people in the two battalions of the Overseas Corps and more than 1,000 people in the non-commissioned officer training camp of the Overseas Corps. There are more than 300 pirates in the coastal garrison and more than 500 in the Jeju Island garrison camp, adding up to more than 3,000 people.

Wang Yaowu smiled and said, "Don't worry, we still have people here." The Jeju Island garrison battalion also has a platoon from the War Department, a newly trained coastal artillery company, and a headquarters guard platoon, which can also make up nearly 200 people. I'm stupid to be here, and I'm asking to participate in this fight. ”

Li Ming was amused by Wang Yaowu, and he scolded with a smile: "Nonsense, you can still be a little upright." You're crazy, all the soldiers from Jeju Island are going to Phi Island, so it's empty, what if there is an accident. ”

Wang Yaowu laughed and said, "Accident, what accident?" Leave a garrison company and mobilize the more than 1,000 North Korean auxiliaries, there are 10 militia companies on our island, a total of 1,500 militiamen, don't underestimate them, they are all old veterans and ruffians, they are now in Jeju Island with a family and land, if anyone dares to come and make trouble, they don't need to organize, they can play with others. ”

Li Ming thought about it, but he still reprimanded: "You said that you are also a major garrison commander, and you always want to go to some battlefield." Come on, I'm short of people anyway, but I'll send a telegram to Tanegashima right away, asking Tanegashima to transfer a battalion of overseas legions. Otherwise, I don't feel at ease. ”

When Wang Yaowu heard this, he shouted excitedly: "Guarantee to complete the task, I will go and prepare." ”

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry, Song Tao looked at Wang Yaowu's back, and said with a smile: "Lao Wang, this is suffocated, Jeju Island is a broken place, and you really can't do anything except go on vacation." ”

Li Ming turned his head and said with a smile: "Why don't I transfer you over for two days?" It's a vacation, don't you always think about the ama who go to the sea with a bare ass here. ”

Song Tao was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Big brother, please, don't leave me here, staying here for a month is enjoyment, if you stay for a few months, it will be torture." ”

Li Ming smiled: "Then you go and prepare, don't hang around here." When Song Tao heard this, he immediately walked away.

After a day of preparation, the North Korean auxiliaries and the Liaomin militia on Jeju Island were all mobilized, and Wang Yaowu was so idle on Jeju Island that he had to find something to do every day, so he set up a mobilization mechanism on Jeju Island.

First of all, among the Liao people who were allocated land, ten militia battalions were built with a total of 1,500 people. Training is done for one to two months a year during the winter slack season. Most of these Liao people were also born as ruffians, and they were not selected into the overseas corps because of their age.

But their old backgrounds are all there, and now most of them are matched with North Korean girls, and they are living a good life here.

More than 1,000 Korean auxiliaries were originally from Jeju Island, and their lives in the Far East were much better than before, at least they were well fed and warm, so these more than 1,000 people were absolutely loyal to the Far East Company.

Wang Yaowu had nothing to do with an island-wide mobilization in Jeju, which made chickens fly and dogs jump, but it was done too many times, and now it is really like that. These militias and North Korean auxiliaries were used to tossing, and they were mobilized in a day.

Wang Yaowu left a company of the garrison battalion behind and then helped Li Ming reorganize the fighting force on Phi Dao. There were more than 3,000 people in total, so Li Ming could make up a brigade.

Wang Yaowu took out the spears, katanas, arquebuses, and armor from the stockpile, and even the more than 300 pirates of the Jeju Island coastal garrison were mobilized from the ship and all of them were incorporated into the Marine Army.

Wang Bo and Zhang Tiezhui were sent to the non-commissioned officer training camp on Jeju Island to train, just in time for this battle. Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer put on their equipment and gathered in the Jeju Island military camp with weapons.

They are now proud, they have all divided the land near the Luzon army station, and they have all been equipped with a Tartar girl or an indigenous woman. They all took part in several battles, and received some silver, and there was hope for this day in the future.

What they were most proud of was that they actually captured the chief military officer of the Franji people in Manila, and not only did each of them receive a second-class meritorious service, but they were also personally received by the two generals of the Military Commission, and they were personally awarded medals.

The prize money for each person alone was ten Franc machine silver yuan, and it almost didn't kill the two of them. But later they learned that the second-class meritorious service medal was the most valuable, and there were many benefits and benefits in the future, and even after retirement, it had a great effect. The ruffians envied them to death.

This time they were selected into the non-commissioned officer camp again, and half a year later they returned to the unit, that is, the platoon commander. The platoon commander in the Far East is not comparable to the military attache of the Ming Dynasty, and they will not change the garrison.

"Hammer, who are we going to fight here?"

"I don't know, it looks like it's in a hurry, the soldiers of the entire island are going to be mobilized, and even the militia and North Korean auxiliaries have been mobilized, this is to let them defend the island. This battle should not be small, paralyzed, and finally caught up again, and my arm was uncomfortable. ”

A soldier next to him also said: "I'm afraid I'm going to fight the Tartars, I just heard them say that the ship is going north, what else can you do in the north except to fight the Tartars?" ”

"Lao Zhao, did you hear clearly?"

The person who spoke was Zhao Si, and because of his good appearance, he was also selected into this batch of non-commissioned officer training lists.

"I heard it really, what the training camp instructor said was still false, and finally returned to Liaodong again, and I still fucking wanted to leave there. I haven't been away for so long in my life. ”

His words also evoked some memories of Wang Bo and Zhang Tiehammer, and both of them looked a little depressed. Although Liaodong is cold and remote, the Liao people have been reluctant to stay away from their homeland since ancient times.

The rest of their lives may be spent in Luzon, Nanyang, although the conditions there are much better than those in Liaodong in all aspects, but their homeland is difficult to leave. It's all to blame on those Tartars. (To be continued......) R1292
