Chapter 741 The plan to attack Yongning seeks the moon
The Qing army in Fuzhou ran away and scattered. The reason why they were able to escape was because the Fuzhou camp was relatively simple.
In this way, there are always some holes for them to escape. From a distance, a raging fire ignited in Fuzhou, like a purgatory on earth.
After the Qing army was defeated, they did not intend to gather to resist, but ran away.
Because they knew very well that with their strength, they could not compete with the Ming army at all.
Instead of dying in a daze, it is better to run away and escape, so that at least one life can be saved.
Of course, most of the Qing soldiers fled to Yongning, the closest to Fuzhou.
This is not because they are highly organized, but because people will make some choices out of instinctively driven by instinct in extreme panic.
It’s like following the crowd, it’s like escaping to a big city.
Yongning was like a shelter in the minds of these Qing troops fleeing in panic.
After the Ming army pursued it symbolically, it stopped chasing it. This is Qian Youren's meaning.
According to his understanding, there are many mountains in this generation. As long as the Qing soldiers were determined to escape into the mountains, the Ming army would basically not be able to catch up.
Instead of wasting time here, it is better to sort out more battlefields, and there may be unexpected gains.
Even if not, you can save energy and prepare for the next attack on Yongning.
After all, judging from the current situation, Yongning also has to fight, it’s just a matter of time.
Powerful people never choose opponents, but crush them one by one.
Now the Ming army is in such a state.
Compared with earlier times, the current Ming army has made a qualitative leap in both momentum and strength.
Not to mention the Qing army, even the Qing army and the Japanese pirates are not their opponents.
Take this descendant of Dongjiang Town as an example. At the beginning, they were unsure of attacking the important town of the Qing army, but their confidence was greatly improved after a few battles, and they believed that the Qing army was just like this.
This is the accumulation of faith, and this is very important in war.
Yu Qi, He Shouyi and Wang Ermazi were very happy to see the growth of the descendants of Dongjiang Town.
Next, they will work together to march into Yongning.
...
...
Yongning City.
Looking at the soldiers who fled back one by one, Yongning's guard Zhao Fu had a numb scalp.
He heard that a Ming army was sneaking into the rear, but he never thought that the Ming army had such great energy that it would have been agitated to turn the Liaodong Peninsula upside down.
First there are Lianyun Island, Gaizhou, then Niangniang Palace and Fuzhou.
It's Yongning's turn next?
Regardless of whether the Ming army planned to attack Yongning or not, Zhao Fu made such as such assumptions and assumptions.
Although Yongning is a mountain city that is very conducive to defense, he still ordered people to rectify the city defense as soon as possible.
Judging from the current situation, it is difficult for the Ming army to attack Yongning head-on, and they will definitely use some evil ways.
It is like the sky hiding from the earth, or it is like water flooding and fire attacking.
No matter which one it is, it makes people scratch their heads.
Zhao Fu simply responded to changes in the face of constant changes, repaired loopholes, and ensured that there were no low-level problems.
As for other things, it depends on the gods.
Of course, Zhao Fu also did some disposal to those Qing soldiers who fled back.
According to the Qing Dynasty's laws and military rules, deserters should be executed.
But this time, there were a total of thousands of Qing soldiers who were reorganized.
If all of them were cut, it would be a very physically consuming thing.
Zhao Fu decided to leave the lives of these deserters and make them guilty and meritorious.
After all, the Ming army is likely to come to fight Yongning.
But their death penalty is avoided, and their living crime is hard to forgive.
If Zhao Fu did not deal with them at all, the other Qing soldiers would definitely follow suit, and the army would be unable to control it.
Therefore, Zhao Fu decided to punish these defeated soldiers with corporal punishment - to whip them.
Compared to hitting boards and military sticks, the damage caused by whipping is more likely to be skin trauma. Although the pain is equally strong, it is not easy to hurt bones.
With the enemy in front of him, Zhao Fu did not want his subordinates to be limping.
As a result, almost thousands of defeated soldiers were pulled out of the barracks in batches and whipped.
They were naked and tied to the pillars, whipping down with whips, like ghosts and wolves howling.
In Zhao Fu's opinion, he was already very merciless, and these defeated soldiers already knew how to be grateful.
If they cannot defend Yongning, they will eventually be unable to escape death.
Now the Ming army is their common enemy. Only by resisting foreign enemies can we care about hatred.

"General Qian, have you ever thought of a plan to attack Yongning?"
After the Fuzhou victory, both Yu Qi and He Shouyi's expectations for money have increased significantly.
They really hope to take advantage of this energy to win Yongning.
Sometimes it takes one breath to fight, and this breath is no problem to seize a wave of winning streak.
"Well, let me think about it again."
Qian Youren carried his hands on his back and walked in front of the map for several steps, and finally sighed.
"I almost thought of all the ways I could think of. But Yongning City was built in the deep mountains, so it is really not suitable to take advantage of tricks to attack."
Wang Ermazi waved his hand and said distractedly: "So what's going on in the deep mountains? As far as I see, we will set fire to his mother. After a fire, we will burn him all the city and mountains. I want to see where the Tartars hide it."
I have to say that Wang Ermazi’s suggestion is simple and crude.
But simple and crude often have good results.
Qian Youren's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"Maybe it can really give it a try."
"General Qian also thinks it is feasible?"
Wang Ermazi swallowed and spitted, and was so excited.
He was talking casually, but he didn't expect Qian Youren to think it made sense.
Good, this really made him catch up.
"But it needs to be improved, and you can't be so tough."
“How to say it?”
"Don't the Tartars think we are going to attack Yongning? At least we can't attack openly, but we can wait for an opportunity to take a small path up the mountain."
Qian Youren paused and continued to explain: "The Tartars will actually walk the trail up and down the mountain, but the possibility is not high. Especially at this time, the Tartar generals will definitely order not to go down the mountain at will. This gives us a chance. If we set fire from the front, the effect will not be too good, because the Tartars will discover it as soon as possible and extinguish it quickly. But if we walk the trail around the back of the Tartars and then put a fire on it, the effect will be completely different."
"It's wonderful, it's wonderful!"
Wang Ermazi slapped his head and said, "General Qian is really Zhuge."

Qian Youren's face turned red when he was so flattered by Wang Ermazi.
He shook his hand and said, "Where, where? Isn't this the fire attack that General Wang mentioned first, which gave Qian aspiration?"
Wang Ermazi smiled and said, "Your credit is your credit. I, Lao Wang, won't rob it, don't worry. Let's put it this way, how should we go around the back mountain to attack the Tartars? General Qian may come up with a detailed plan?"
