Chapter 60: Soldiers from the Sea

The geographical topography of Shandong was actually very different from that of later generations during the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention anything else, a Yellow River estuary is enough to say the vicissitudes of life. In the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River flowed into the sea along with the Huai River. Therefore, Zhu Cihong's journey from Henan to Shandong was actually to detour through Jiangsu, which was of course the jurisdiction of Nanjing in the Ming Dynasty.

On the other hand, from the Linqing Canal to the south, you can enter the sea along the Huai River.

As for the estuary of Shandong in later generations, there is only one Daqing River that flows through Binzhou and Lijin.

And this is a place that is quite calm compared to the whole of Shandong. This is not a rich place, on the contrary, the war in recent years has made it quite barren and decaying.

In this way, the Qing army didn't have much interest here, so they casually broke a small county town named Lijin and lived in it, waiting for the beginning of spring.

The harsh winter days are really not liked by the Qing army. Not only do the soldiers need to rest and keep warm, but the most important thing is that the horses can't be destroyed so endlessly. Autumn high horse fat is certainly a good time to send troops, but the successive battles have also caused serious damage to the war horses, either sick or directly hanging.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the horses to be happy.

After crisscrossing all parts of Shandong, the Qing army's offensive was suddenly optimistic to the extreme, except for one in Yanzhou, which was quite difficult to fight and was a little different from Abatai's Tuo to strengthen the offensive, other places can be said to be invincible.

Oh...... No, you have to count the two freaks of Linqingzhou and Jinanfu.

In short, with such a smooth battle situation, there is finally no need to overuse the war horse, and you can take a break.

After fighting the invincible opponents in Shandong, Abatai seemed to be reunited with Zhu Cihong, so he put the countless gold and silver he had robbed in the small city of Zhangqiu, not far from Jinan Mansion, and the other armies actually gave up the horse army. It's time to start the siege again.

This time, the Qing army took the lead in attacking the city of Jinan.

After all. The Ming army caused a plague, and the Qing army did not want to fight, so they easily defeated the Ming army, and as a result, they were also infected by the plague.

Merely. If you want to attack Jinan Mansion, other troubles will come.

The overuse of war horses mentioned earlier is one thing. But there is another thing that has a particularly direct and obvious impact on the situation of the war.

There is not enough food.

Although the Qing army attacked almost half of the state capitals in Shandong, they obtained astronomical gains. However, most of these trophies were gold, silver and jewelry, and even less grain, which was difficult to transport. So much so that in the end, it was difficult to raise even the war horses of the Qing army.

It happened that at this time, Abatai was going to decide to attack Jinan City again. Since it was a siege, the cavalry was obviously not useful. But for the Qing army, they can't kill the war horses and eat meat. So Abatai struggled for a moment, and then waved his hand. A total of 30,000 war horses of the Qing army were handed over to Chen Weidao to take to graze.

Since the beginning of spring, there are still many places in Shandong where grass has grown again, or ...... Paddy.

For example, Lijin, which is quite desolate, is not suitable for cultivation in many places because of its proximity to the sea, and the grass grows. This is a very large area that is particularly suitable for grazing.

Especially in those seaside areas, the grass is so long that the herdsmen Jurchens almost think that they have returned to the grassland.

Guarding here is Chen Weidao.

The traitor who single-handedly created a plague was not very lucky. He was hit in the knee during the attack on Linzi, and he had to stay here to recover from his injuries.

Fortunately, as in history.

The Ming court, which was weak and powerless in infighting, no longer gathered troops and horses to attack, and the entire Ming Dynasty, like the Qing army, was like a blank copy that could be fought anywhere. Everywhere, it's easy and dangerous.

Historically. The Qing army began fighting in October of the 15th year of Chongzhen and fought until the end of December of the 15th year. At the beginning of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Zhou Yanru, who adhered to the principle of not fighting and provoking, sat and watched the city. Let the Qing army enter no man's land, in addition to attacking the city and capturing it. There was no more opponent.

The Qing army in the original history began from the sixteenth year of Chongzhen to June, and it was almost like a tourist in the heart of the eastern part of the Ming Dynasty, and there was no threat at all. Even, in order to make up for the loss of horsepower, the Qing army grazing cattle everywhere, almost like their own backyard.

Now, Zhu Cihong is deeply mired in the plague disaster and has no threat to the ability of the Qing army. Or at least for now.

The Qing army, which had no opponents, continued to let go of its horses and cultivate its horsepower, as in history.

The only hard work was the two Han army flags that continued to besiege and attack Jinan, and the rest of the Qing army had already begun to recuperate and enjoy the glory of the victors.

Even a Qing army general like Chen Weidao, who was injured and recuperated and had to go to a small place like Lijin to defend hard, could enjoy the clothes of the Han women trembling and fearing death in the warmest and most comfortable mansion at this moment.

To the east of Itsu, near the sea, is the largest grassland in the whole of Itsu, and there is not much arable land here, and there is already a lot of saline-alkali land where only wild grasses grow. Later, as the wars became more frequent, even the small amount of arable land began to grow rapidly because it was uncultivated.

When a winter had passed, and a few light rains had fallen, the whole land was swept away and yellow, and the blue took over the land again.

Located at the easternmost end of the grassland, the only place that still has some human atmosphere is a place called Yangkou Town. Yangkou Town was originally a small fishing village called Yangkou Village. The people here fish during the day, cut the weeds at night, burn firewood, boil salt, and do the smuggled salt dealers, and occasionally pick up the dirty goods at sea, the days are more lively than the market in the county, no one shouted in the original Yangkou Village, and they all followed the big man Deng Jun here to shout Yangkou Town.

Today, in the mansion in Yangkou Town, Deng Jun's right eyelid jumped violently, and he got up early in the morning and walked to his weapon rack: "The left eye jumps to the blessing, and the right eye jumps to the disaster...... Phew...... What kind of disaster jumping, it is clearly the right eye jumping wealth. Special mother, Lao Tzu always has one hundred and eighty people on hand, with the name of a smuggler who is not afraid of death, no one is looking for his bad luck near Fang Yuan, right? Could it be the Tartars who keep horses, isn't right...... It's all over the honor, too......"

Boom......

Suddenly, a figure entered the doorway.

Hao Laosan stumbled in, and said to Deng Jun breathlessly: "Boss Deng, Boss Deng!" Here it comes...... The officers and soldiers are coming......"

"The officers and soldiers have hit!"

"Who?" Deng Jun's eyes were round, if it weren't for the sake of his old friendship for more than ten years, he would definitely squirt: "The official army is here?" From the sea? ”

Stampede Collapse......

"Who's the head snake here?" A person stepped on leather boots and walked slowly: "Send out a few guides, the officers and soldiers are coming to kill the Tartars!" (To be continued.) )
