Chapter 188 Scorched Earth Enemy Country
What!
Looking at Zhang Chun in shock, what did he say?
"You said Huang Taiji wanted to transport the looted money and grain back to Liaodong by sea? How is this possible?"
How could Huang Taiji take the sea route?
When did Qianqing set his sights on the sea?
This is too unbelievable! Could it be that this is also the butterfly effect?
The sudden information made Zhu Guoqiang frown. What changes will this bring?
"Your Majesty, I didn't believe it at first, but judging from what he said, it was a pity that so much food was lost during the invasion last time and was not brought back, so after being persuaded by someone, I came up with such an idea. If
The prince can capture Lushun and form a horn with Jinzhou. If he must advance and attack, retreat and defend, he can also form a horn with Jinzhou, just like back then..."
Just like Dongjiang Town back then!
Although I am surprised by the changes in the Qing Dynasty, what is more important right now is the hundreds of thousands of people outside the city who are focusing on it!
The Changshan Islands, which are spread all over the mountains, cannot accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, but Lushun can accommodate them! Of course, it is not just Lushun, there is also Dalian, where there is a lot of land that can be cultivated. After all, it is better than
Changshan Islands are spacious.
And more importantly, the Golden State Isthmus!
The width there is only a few kilometers, and a city wall or fortification can be built there. In this way, a small number of troops can be used to guard Lushun, and it will not affect the next plan.
Isn’t this the best of both worlds?
Not only can hundreds of thousands of people be rescued, but he will also have a foothold in Liaodong in the future. If he wants, he can attack from Lushun at any time.
"Zhang Shaoqing's idea saved hundreds of thousands of people! Quick, let everyone in!"
While praising Zhang Shaoqing, Zhu Guoqiang shouted to the guards outside the door. After everyone entered the room, Zhu Guoqiang said directly.
"We will retreat directly to Lushunkou!"
"Lushunkou?"
“Yes, it’s Lushunkou!”
Unfolding a map and pointing to the location of the Jinzhou Isthmus in later generations, Zhu Guoqiang said.
"The land width of this area is less than ten miles. As long as we control this area, it is equivalent to protecting the entire Lushun area. People can evacuate here to cultivate land and make a living. Moreover, Lushun has the convenience of Haikou, and can maintain communication with the sea through sea routes.
The connection with the inland is not like that of Jinzhou and other places located in the interior, which were often besieged by the Jiannu slaves for a long time and were encircled and rescued..."
In fact, this place can be used as a land port as promised to the "Peacock Flag". Of course, there are hundreds of thousands of people here. Those people who were saved by themselves will definitely be as grateful to themselves as the people of Jinan.
As long as they are in the "Peacock Flag", there will be no trouble. It only takes a few years to turn this pirate group into its own navy through a series of methods such as promotion and sanding.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a good idea! Taking Lushunkou will not only be a horn with Jinzhou, but also a horn with Shandong. Shandong can be used as Lushun's rear hinterland and connected by sea. As long as Lushun is under our control
From now on, Jiannu will definitely fall into the predicament of being attacked from both sides!"
Everyone can see the benefits, and Mao Chengzhi, who was born in Dongjiang Town, even agreed.
"Your Majesty, it is because of the importance of Port Arthur that the slaves in those days would repeatedly attack Port Arthur. As long as Port Arthur is in hand, the coasts on both sides of Liaodong are like sieves, allowing our army to march straight in, enter the Liao River to erode its hinterland, and enter the Yalu River to control North Korea.
Make North Korea lose money and food to help me conquer slaves..."
Mao Chengzhi's words made Liu Hanyi frown, and then said.
"Since Port Arthur is so important, how can the slaves tolerate Port Arthur being controlled by me? They will definitely attack Port Arthur by force. In this case..."
"In this case, it is exactly what I want!"
Zhu Guoqiang said with a smile.
"In that case, I would be right there teaching the slaves how to behave! Let them know what a meat grinder is!"
Meat grinder!
After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang thought of the "Battle of Yaksa" decades later that was talked about by countless Qing fans. Thousands of Qing troops attacked the city of Yaksa that was defended by only a few hundred people, but could not be conquered for a long time.
, and in the end it could only be changed to a long-term siege.
As long as a few small fortresses are built there and one or two thousand troops are deployed, wouldn't it be possible to block the Qing's attack?
But if you want to turn it into a meat grinder, I'm afraid it won't be easy!
After thinking about it, Zhu Guoqiang turned to Liu Hanyi and asked.
"By the way, where are Huang Taiji's children left in the palace?...Well..."
"Preferential treatment?"
Liu Hanyi asked tentatively.
He shook his head and gritted his teeth.
"Cut off all their heads and have their heads sent to Huang Taiji! I don't care whether he can attack Lushun or not. I'm afraid he won't!"
"Ah! Your Majesty!"
Zhang Chun on the side heard it and immediately said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, that's a big feud, and many of those people are pornographic brats!"
"Is their feud with us still shallow?"
Zhu Guoqiang asked back. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked specifically.
"By the way, did Bumbutai give birth to a son for Huang Taiji?"
"My dear son, Bumubutai gave birth to a son for him two years ago. He should be only two years old now..."
He is only two years old!
Nodding his head slightly, Zhu Guoqiang didn't say anything, he just thought silently in his heart that since he is gone, there will be no so-called Kang Mazi, Yong Laosi, or such a perfect old man from now on...
No!
In a few years, the Qing Dynasty, including the Jurchens, will also disappear from this world.
Since the prince did not have any special instructions, there was no need to ask. Later, Zhu Guoqiang discussed with everyone how to retreat. After all, this journey would take several hundred miles.
So many people in the ice and snow had to retreat with the troops, and there were so many gold, silver, and jewelry. Not to mention anything else, just to transport those gold, silver, jewelry, etc. would require tens of thousands of carts! After all, the captured
There are just too many things!
Sometimes, too many seizures can be a problem!
"food!"
Staring at everyone, Zhu Guoqiang said in a serious tone.
"It is certainly unrealistic to transport the hundreds of thousands of stones of grain we seized in Shenyang, but as long as possible, these grains must be transported away as much as possible. Even a grain of grain cannot be left for the slaves.
!Same as Shenyang City – burned down!”
After a pause, Zhu Guoqiang emphasized again.
"Everything that can be transported away will be transported away, and everything that cannot be transported away will be set on fire. We must not leave a grain of food for the slaves to eat, a house to avoid the cold, a usable well, and the scorched earth...
