325 The Battle of Intelligence
In Lushun, a long time ago, during the era of Wild Boar Pi Nurhaci, it was occupied by Jianlu and suffered a major military disaster.
In the third year of Tianqi, Yuan Keli, the governor of Denglai, sent general Zhang Pan to lead troops to recover. Because of Yuan Keli's support, Lushun has been in the hands of the Ming Dynasty.
However, after the fifth year of Tianqi, Yuan Keli was resigned, and the Liaodong Peninsula lacked effective support and support. Jianlu attacked heavily, Zhang Pan fell into a heavy siege and died, and Lushun fell into the hands of Jianlu again.
Later, Mao Wenlong sent troops to take them back to Lushun. Because of the existence of the Dongjiang Navy, Jianlu had no choice but to do anything until Mao Wenlong died and Dongjiang scattered, Kong Youde surrendered to Jianlu, and eventually fell into Jianlu's hands. In the original history, since then, the Ming Dynasty never took them back to Lushun.
The sharp corner of Liaodong that was originally to be forgotten has become the focus of everyone because of the Ming army's re-counterattack.
Lushun is a hilly area. Due to several wars, it is rarely visited here, so the transportation is not convenient. There are many trees in the hills, making it a good place for ambushers.
Just in a few hilly forests, there were Ming soldiers lurking here. They all had variegated cloaks, similar to the color of the woods. After all, no one was a fool, wearing a big red battle robe, which was too conspicuous.
There was no movement and a little bored. A young player suddenly muttered in a low voice: "It was finally our turn to come over to ambush today. Why didn't the Tartars even see each other? You won't be so unlucky!"
Hearing Li Laiheng’s complaint, Li Dingguo, who was in charge, smiled slightly and understood his feelings very much.
Since they landed in Lushun and killed the Tartars, military orders have been passed down and they are not allowed to be pursued.
The entire army, including the rescued Han people, all began to work and build Lushun City. In order to prevent harassment from the Tartars in Jinzhou, Lu Xiangsheng sent a thousand troops to ambush Jianlu's provocate in the narrowest area, preventing them from knowing the situation of the Ming army in Lushun. This lurking force was on the rotation.
Most of the soldiers were busy building Lushun and fortifications to prepare for the upcoming war. Compared to this, the Ming army soldiers were of course more willing to kill the enemy and make contributions. Therefore, all soldiers cherished the opportunity to lurk.
Li Laiheng has been waiting for almost a day, and before he saw the Tartars touching them, he was naturally depressed and couldn't help but say, "Can the Tartars in Jinzhou be afraid? Isn't it rumored that the Tartars are invincible?"
It was because of the damn rumors that the Shaanxi border troops were scared to the point of being transferred to Liaodong, and they often collapsed halfway. If they could not return to their hometown, they could only become bandits.
Look, after Li Laiheng finished speaking, he turned to look at a companion who was older than him.
This companion was Chen Xinjue. When he saw Li Laiheng looking over, he couldn't help but blush and defended awkwardly: "These Tartars are all fake Tartars, they are the original Dongjiang Army, and that's it!"
"Haha, what's wrong with the real Tartars?" Li Laiheng said disdainfully, "I will definitely see the real Tartars when I look back. When I look back, my master will still kill them without any eggs! I asked them if they dare to come?"
Hearing this, Li Dingguo also interrupted and said, "Yes, what about the real Tartars? The Battle of the Governor in Tianjin was a great victory, even their Gushan E was captured alive by our Ming Dynasty! Our Ming Dynasty is strong, and the real Tartars can make them have no return!"
The reputation of the Liaodong Jianlu has always been very resounding because of the Ming army's own incompetence.
Lu Xiangsheng was worried that these soldiers from thieves would be afraid of Jianlu who had never met before. Therefore, in the army, they often publicized the battle in Tianjin, so that these soldiers from the northwest Central Plains knew that Jianlu was also human and nothing great.
When Li Dingguo said this, Li Laiheng laughed. After a while, he said: "It's really funny to think about it. In the Battle of Tianjin, our Ming army rode mules, horses and donkeys to charge! Just this, those legendary real Tartars are still so scared that they are so scared. Really, every time I think about it, I feel that those real Tartars are so funny!"
Hearing what he said, all the Ming soldiers lying on the lie around him smiled. The concerns about the real Tartars that were hidden in the hearts of many people were gone and gone!
As they were really talking, suddenly, the sound of birds cries came from the trees in the distance, which were very regular and suddenly rose up.
When Li Dingguo heard this, his face immediately became serious and immediately ordered in a low voice: "If there is any situation, everyone will be silent!"
When all the Ming soldiers heard this, they not only did not feel nervous about fighting to fight to the battlefield, but they showed excitement one by one. Li Laiheng even counted his fingers, but didn't know what he was thinking in his mind.
Li Dingguo looked at them, but he whispered: "Remember, the Governor has a strict order, and the Tartars must not be allowed to steal a comrade. Do you remember?"
In order to keep many secrets of the Ming army, such as how many people came across the sea, who was the commander, how large the navy was, the geometry of the warship, and who was the commander. Even ordinary Ming soldiers basically knew about these things. The later the Tartars knew about these news, the better.
It is also a blessing that this is on the sharp corner of the Liaodong Peninsula, so it is relatively easy to keep these secrets. Lu Xiangsheng also sent out a lot of troops to lurk, and a hundred people were a small team to take care of each other, and strictly ordered that the soldiers were not captured by Jianlu and returned alive.
Hearing Li Dingguo's advice, Li Laiheng couldn't help but smile and whisper: "Those fake Tartars have come many times, and they did not come back in a mess. Haha, it made us know the reality of Jinzhou. Only that little force is still dreaming about defeating our navy. If we want to defeat our navy, we don't think about who the navy is..."
He was still whispering, and then he saw Li Dingguo's black face, so his voice became smaller and smaller, and he quickly kept silent.
Some habits that he developed when he was a thief were difficult to change in a short period of time. Li Dingguo knew this and did not care much about Li Laiheng, a chatterbox. He immediately began to assign tasks and prepared to greet the fake Tartars who came over.
At the same time, at the head of Jinzhou, King Zhishun, who was conferred the title of the Qing Dynasty, looked at the direction of Lushun from the west, with a serious face and silent expression.
Ban Zhifu, whose injuries were healed, stood behind him. Although he didn't say anything, Ban Zhifu knew in his heart that the prince was worried.
How long has it been gone? The Ming army's situation in Lushun has not been able to detect. Every time the horses sent out all returned in a desperate situation. Those who were not lucky enough to be wiped out, even if the entire army was wiped out, they could not escape.
This situation made Shang Kexi very uneasy. After all, he was a person who had been fighting for many years. He didn't know what the tiger on his side was doing, so he felt like he was sitting on pins and needles and sharp on his back.
The only good news is that with three 800-mile urgent memorials sent to Shengjing, Shang Kexi also received good news. The Qing emperor attached great importance to the counterattacks of the Ming army. Not only did he agree to the prince's request, he had already sent an order to the North Korean side and transferred the Korean navy to the north, but the army had also set off and should be at Jinzhou soon.
But it is precisely because of this that the prince was very uneasy.
After Prince Heshuoli arrived, if the prince didn't know anything about it, even if he didn't punish him, it would be very embarrassing.
You know, although the prince and the prince are both called princes, they are in the same sky and the earth, and they are not the same as each other!
In fact, the prince's troops were very limited, even if he had a navy, his troops were less than 10,000. If he had the elite troops in his hands, he would have even fewer. Those who were sent to Lushun to find out the news were all the elite troops in his hands, but they did not succeed at once. The seriousness of the matter can be imagined.
Thinking of this, Ban Zhifu couldn't help but look at Shang Kexi's side face, and suddenly realized that the prince seemed to have lost a lot of weight these days. After being King Zhishun in the Qing Dynasty, he finally gained weight a little, and just a little time, he actually went back!
Ban Zhifu thought that he had a lot more worries in his heart. He turned his head and looked towards Lushun, with longing in his eyes. He hoped that this time he could see that the horses sent by the prince could bring back several Ming army soldiers, even if there was only one, even if the losses were heavy, as long as he finally brought back a living person, he could let the prince understand the situation of the Ming army in Lushun, which would be good!
He faintly felt that the Ming army in Lushun was very powerful. He even suspected that if the Ming army in Lushun was willing, Jinzhou might not be in the hands of the prince. However, why did the Ming army in Lushun not attack? How long has it been gone, why hasn't it been attacking?
Ban Zhifu couldn't understand the abnormality of the Ming army. After finally counterattacking and returning to Liaodong, why didn't he expand his territory? That should be considered a great contribution to the Ming court, which could make the Ming general promoted and make money?
At this time, Ban Zhifu felt that the Ming army on Lushun was a mysterious existence, completely different from the Ming army in the past and could not be understood at all!
The sun gradually tilted westward. Logically speaking, Shang Kexi had been standing for so long, and his eyes were probably exhausted, right? However, he didn't seem to feel tired, and was still looking at the direction of Lushun. Even the navy commander Xu Erxian came over, and he didn't turn to look.
Ban Zhifu turned his head and looked at Xu Erxian. Seeing his inquiring eyes, he understood what he was going to ask, so he shook his head.
Xu Er saw that, and there was a sense of inexplicable emotion on his face. He looked into the direction of Lushun. After a while, he suddenly turned around and looked at Shang Kexi and said loudly: "Prince, why don't you send the navy to the navy, you will definitely know what the Lushun Ming army is doing!"
Hearing his voice, Shang Kexi finally turned his head and looked at him, but shook his head and asked, "There are fewer warship sects, are you sure to defeat the Ming Navy?"
When Xu Erxian heard this, he was stunned.
Before, Shang Kexi had thought of sending a ship to investigate the situation. However, he soon discovered that the Ming army's warship was patrolling the sea. If the warship was going to Lushun to inquire about the news, he had to defeat the Ming Navy first.
However, in the previous battle, they had personally experienced the strength of the Ming Navy.
In their opinion, compared with the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty naval forces, the Qing Dynasty was because of the number of warships and the number of advantages; however, the Ming Dynasty naval forces were better than the elite and had quality advantages; if the same number of warships encountered at sea, neither Xu Erxian nor Shang Kexi would be at all sure, and they felt that they could defeat the Ming Dynasty naval forces.
The Qing Dynasty navy had just one point, and there was no shipyard, so one less ship lost if it lost. What's more important is that the navy warship was a treasure in Shang Kexi's hand. He was unwilling to fight the war, and there was no warship available in his hand after he finished the war.
Of course, another reason is that he is afraid that if all the warships were sent out together, it would put too much pressure on the Ming army.
Shang Kexi himself has also been the Ming army and is in the weak side. He knew that the Ming army in Lushun should be most worried about is that the sea route was cut off. Therefore, if all the navy troops were sent out and fought similarly to the Ming navy, the Ming army would be worried that the sea route would be cut off and might escape immediately.
We cannot alarm the enemy, and we cannot let the Ming army run away. This is what Shang Kexi wants to do.
In this way, if the warships were investigated by sea, there were fewer soldiers, and they were no match for the Ming Navy. The warships were almost the same, so they could not afford to lose their own losses. If they were sent too many soldiers, they were afraid of scaring away the Ming army, which made Shang Kexi very embarrassed, so he did not think about investigating by sea.
At this time, he asked Xu Erxian in one sentence, then turned around and looked at the wilderness in Lushun direction, without saying anything.
Xu Erxi was depressed for a while, then asked again: "Prince, Prince He Shuoli will arrive soon. How can I explain it then?"
Hearing his words, Ban Zhifu quickly stabbed him and immediately replied to him: "This time, the prince sent a lot of snoops over, maybe he will get something!"
After hearing this, Xu Erxian stopped talking and turned to look into the distance. He also knew that the prince was also anxious. He sent a lot of horses to the point of sending him to the point of finding something. Even if he was caught, he would be seriously injured and died of life immediately after being arrested, that would be fine!
At this time, the sun sets and it will be dark soon.
Xu Erxian looked for a while and then turned to see where the navy was. For him, he was more concerned about his navy. According to what the prince said before, the Korean navy should have arrived, as if there were nearly 200 ships. Looking back at his subordinates, there would be more warships. I was excited to think about it!
While he was secretly excited, suddenly, Ban Zhifu screamed in surprise: "Look, it seems like he is back!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Erxian quickly looked up. Sure enough, in the distance of his sight, there were horsemen flying towards him. However, the number of people was not too large, and the light was a little dim, which affected his sight and could not see the specific situation.
The loss was a surprise, which was as expected. What the people on the city wall care about was whether they had been caught by living!
