Chapter 89 Misjudgment and here comes the slave slave

Chapter 088

"A million-strong army rolled up the white flag, and no one in the world went to Liaoxi!"

This is a crossword puzzle in itself, but the problem is that it was so widely circulated in the late Ming Dynasty that it is almost comparable to "The Song of Death in Wuxiang Liaodong" written by Wang Bo at the end of the Sui Dynasty. It also has the same deterrent power.

After experiencing a series of disastrous defeats such as the disastrous defeat at Saarhu, the Battle of Hunhe, the annihilation of the Sichuan and Zhejiang armies, the fall of Shenyang, and the disastrous defeat at Dalinghe, both civil servants and generals in the Ming Dynasty regarded Western Liaoning as a fearful road.

Of course, western Liaoning is different from southern Liaoning. In western Liaoning, at least the supply of materials is sufficient. The fortress group established during Sun Chengzong's period is still there. Although the offense is insufficient, the defense does not have much problems.

In fact, until Wu Sangui changed his clothes and shaved his head and surrendered to the Manchus, the Manchus had not broken through the Guanning line of defense. As for Liaonan, except for Sun Yuanhua, who was still deeply concerned about it, it had long been selectively forgotten by all the ministers.

The Ming army guarding southern Liaoning, that is, the Dongjiang Army, only had more than 4,000 soldiers, and was short of food, clothing, and equipment. Of course, everyone was happy that the Dongjiang Army won the battle, and everyone was calm about the loss of troops and territory. At this time, the court In China, many ministers have chosen to act like ostriches.

No general has ever proposed to personally lead troops to reinforce Liaonan. If he did this, everyone would definitely think that he was crazy and his brain was trapped. Cheng Shijie, on the other hand, said that he would take the initiative to lead troops to Liaonan. Retake southern Liaoning.

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Chongzhen gave him a first-grade military attache from the Zuo Governor. This was not a promotion, but it was clearly meant to honor him after his death. Maybe he could be promoted to another level and be rewarded with an honorary title of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Sun Yuanhua looked at Cheng Shijie's retreating figure and sighed, "What a pity! I have lost an important opportunity."

Xu Dacheng asked with some confusion: "Master Futai means..."

"This constitution will never have another chance!"

In Sun Yuanhua's eyes, Cheng Shijie was already half buried in the loess. Death was a big deal. As long as Cheng Shijie died in Liaonan in the future, the imperial court would only reward him heavily and would never throw dirty water on him. It was clear that he Ning Haijun launched a mutiny, and there was no way to settle the score later.

Xu Dacheng was also speechless at this time.

Sun Yuanhua was actually still thinking about this matter. If Cheng Shijie hadn't known how to proceed and retreat, and was replaced by an ordinary reckless military commander, Sun Yuanhua's body would have grown hair.

Gao Qiqian was also not optimistic about Cheng Shijie, thinking that Cheng Shijie didn't understand military matters, so he didn't care about muskets and artillery. The entire army only had eight French artillery pieces, so what was their use?

A fire gun can punch through a big tree as thick as a bowl. Jiannu's shield is useless, but what about a crossbow? It can neither penetrate iron-clad wooden shields nor heavy armor unless it is equipped with armor-piercing heavy arrows. , where can I find a gun to save trouble?

However, Cheng Shijie did not feel that he was going to die. On the contrary, he still had strong self-confidence. He saw hope in the Thunder Gun. Although the power of this Thunder Gun could not be compared with the machine guns of later generations, it could be used against Jiannu. The cavalry charge was barely enough.

Liaonan will be Cheng Shijie's new territory. There, Cheng Shijie has already thought of several ways to restrain the Jiannu cavalry. Although in this era, the Jiannu cavalry and heavy infantry are unparalleled and have very powerful combat effectiveness.

However, both cavalry and heavy infantry will be eliminated in later generations. Even if Cheng Shijie has not arrived at Jinzhou City yet, Shen Mingyu has received Cheng Shijie's order and began to arrange the defense of Jinzhou City according to Cheng Shijie's plan.

system.

In fact, the destination of Cheng Shijie's ship was not Jinzhou, but Gaizhou, which later became Yingkou Prefecture City, and is now Gaizhou Wei.

Cheng Shijie, the fourth guard of Liaonan, is determined to win this new territory. It is naturally impossible for him to occupy only one Jinzhou and let Jiannu bring the war directly to the Jinzhou Guard. If that is the case, he will have no chance to develop.

His plan was to take advantage of the weak strength of the Jiannu Navy, but he had more than 300 warships. Although these warships were uneven, they had an overwhelming advantage. The navy could move along the Liaonan coast.

Bohai Bay, Dalian Bay, all lines are mobile.

He would launch a division and siege war against the Jiannu who entered Liaonan at any time. As long as the Jiannu dared to come, he would dare to bury them.

Since Ning Haijun's Guns and Artillery Bureau dismantled its equipment and moved to southern Liaoning, the Guns and Artillery Bureau has produced a total of 148 Thunder Guns. In addition to the 18 in Shen Mingyu's hands, Cheng Shijie now has 130 in his hands.

Ten weapons can fire 3,900 bullets at a time. If Jiannu charges, he will experience a hail of bullets.

In addition, the Ning Navy also had a Western-style army trained by Sun Yuanhua, equipped with more than 4,000 fire cannons made by Sun Yuanhua. These fire cannons were different from the fire cannons produced by the Imperial Staff Bureau. The fire cannons produced by the Military Staff Bureau exploded as soon as they were hit.

The chance of killing oneself is greater than the chance of killing the enemy, so the Ming army soldiers did not dare to use it.

I would rather trust the knife in my hand. Cheng Shijie once experimented with sixty of these fire blunderbuss made by Sun Yuanhua. At a normal shooting frequency, it would take twenty-five rounds to turn red, but none of these fire blunderbuss exploded.

The quality is very excellent.

Even if the thunder blunderbuss and fire blunderbuss cannot stop the enemy, Cheng Shijie has his own new toy, a land mine made of black powder. This kind of land mine has never been able to deal with bandits and rebels.

Phosphorus and copper wire porcelain fragments are placed in a copper tube. When pulled, the red phosphorus ignites, thereby detonating the black powder.

Black powder is not as powerful as TNT, but in large quantities, quantity makes up for the lack of quality.

A large warship of the Ning Navy Navy was densely packed with more than 460 soldiers and their families. Due to the large number of people, the narrow space, the dirty air, and the fact that some of the soldiers were seasick, there were

The taste can be imagined.

A woman was holding her young son in her arms. Her face was pale. She was almost going crazy due to seasickness. She turned to her husband beside her and said, "His father!"

"Um!"

"Why can't we stay?"

The man slowly opened his eyes: "If we continue to stay in Ninghai, we will definitely die!"

"How is it possible? It was the commander-in-chief who offended Mr. Futai, not us. No matter who wants to farm, they have to use people, right?"

The man stared at the woman and said, "It's true... the land in Ninghai Prefecture has been deserted for so many years, who is going to reclaim it? Do you think anyone can reclaim it?"

The woman fell silent.

"With the marshal gone, no one will care about our life and death. Those noble people have good land, why should they go to cultivate wasteland? Besides, if I go to Liaonan and work with the marshal, I can earn a bucket of grain a day.

You also earn seven liters. If you don't go to Liaonan, you will have to starve to death."

"But the slaves in southern Liaoning are very fierce!"

The man narrowed his eyes: "This damn world is nothing more than early death and late death!"

The woman hugged the child tightly in her arms: "The people in southern Liaoning said they would allocate fields to us?"

"What good thing do you want to do? The points will be given to Ning's navy officers and soldiers, and will not be given to the field army like us. However, we only need to pay 30% of the rent, and the rest is ours! Do you want the land?"

"think……"

"But the commander-in-chief doesn't want an old, weak, sick or disabled person like me. If my body is not injured, I will risk my life to earn a hundred acres of land for you and your mother-in-law!"

The other cabin was filled with densely packed garrison soldiers. Most of these garrison soldiers were reformed prisoners of the rebels from Kong Youde's tribe.

These people were not disgusted by the filthy air in the cabin, and their eyes were still shining. Because they had been homeless, they understood the true meaning of leaving home and becoming a humble person.

A Shandong man said to the small flagman from the field next to him: "Boss, I heard that slave-building is very fierce!"

"Afraid of birds, they are also human beings, carrying a head on two shoulders. If you cut them with a knife, they will bleed, and if their heads fall off, they will die!"

"You are not afraid!"

"I'm not afraid, I'm afraid I won't be able to see my ancestors in the future!"

In the universal values ​​of Chinese people, being worthy of one’s ancestors is the principle and bottom line.

Xiaoqi held on to his only weapon, a Ming army-style saber. The quality was very average. After all, Ning Haijun's good equipment was in the hands of the soldiers, and the field soldiers were only auxiliary.

As Shen Mingyu occupied Jinzhou City, which was almost in ruins, Cheng Shijie sent out troops this time not only with Ning Haijun's infantry, cavalry, and artillery troops, but also with a large number of accompanying troops.

After the bumps and drifts on the sea, Cheng Shijie led the fleet to Gaizhou, which was later known as Yingkou Port. Of course, there was no port at this time. For large wooden ships with a draft of more than one meter and two meters deep, it was not difficult to build a dock.

The warship cannot dock directly, but can rely on the extended trestle to reach the land.

Hundreds of Ning Navy soldiers greeted Cheng Shijie and his party on the tidal flats. Chen Guodong was the first to disembark. His feet had just stepped on the beach. He faced the harsh sea wind, stretched out his arms, knelt heavily on the ground, and shouted: "

I, Chen Guodong, am back! Father, mother, the unscrupulous son Chen Guodong is back!"

A Ning Haijun soldier from the Dongjiang Army also shouted in the direction of Liaonan: "I, Du Erniu, am back. I won't run away this time..."

"I, Li Dayong, am back."

"I'm back!"

"I'm back!"

"I'm back!"

More and more voices sounded on the sea, and their shouts even covered the waves.

Ma Shilin said to Cheng Shijie: "Congratulations, Commander, your military morale is available!"

"Very good!"

Cheng Shijie thought of an army in later generations. They also had a heart to go home, but they couldn't help it. The soldiers who were born in the Dongjiang Army now have red eyes and almost shouted: "I, Hu Hansan, am back!"

"Pass this command!"

Cheng Shijie picked up the microphone, and Cheng Shijie's voice came from the speaker.

"I have nothing to say to Jiannu. The Han thieves are sworn to be incompatible. They come from the sea, so we will fight them on the sea. When they attack Jinzhou, we will fight them in Jinzhou. When they attack Lushun, we will fight hard in Lushun.

Beat them! Wherever they attack, we will kill them without leaving a single piece behind! There will be no compromise, no negotiation, only a bloody fight to the end. Until one side is completely defeated and defeated, the war will be over.

"

Almost all the Ning navy officers raised their arms and shouted: "The commander is wise!"

At this moment, a soldier from the Dongjiang Army reached out to his crotch and took out a piece of dark silver, about two taels in weight, and said: "Commander, starting from today, I will give myself

As a dead man, I don’t want this money anymore. I can’t leave it to the slaves as trophies, so don’t be too little. With this little money, you can buy more weapons..."

As he spoke, the soldier threw the silver directly to the ground.

"Commander, I won't run away again!"

A Dongjiang Army soldier said with tears: "I will fight to the end!"

As he spoke, the soldier pulled off the clothes in his arms, revealing two pieces of broken silver, and threw them directly on the ground: "Don't use them as trophies for the slaves!"

"Fight to the death!"
