463 Threatening the hinterland of Liaodong
Of course, the one who gave Ajige such a task would not be an elite. However, being able to control military power is better than being an idle prince. Therefore, Ajige reluctantly agreed.
Dai Shan himself naturally took charge of Shengjing and coordinated the overall situation.
So, Shengjing City also moved immediately. Most of the cavalry that had gathered before left Shengjing and disappeared. Of course, what was said to the outside world was to go north to reinforce Dorgon and attack Soren's troops.
On the other hand, Ajige led a thousand cavalry to him and ordered the infantry from all over the mainland to be drawn, mainly close to Xinjin, and rushed towards Xinjin with great momentum, aiming directly at Jinzhou and Lushun.
Everyone in Liaodong knew about Jianlu's movement. So, when the Han people fled, they brought the news. In addition, the Ming army did not accept it at night and sneaked into various places to spy on military information. They also received the news that Jianlu was going to attack Jinzhou in large numbers, so they immediately returned the news.
Lu Xiangsheng, the governor of the Ming Dynasty who had been staying in Jinzhou, was overjoyed when he heard the news. Unexpectedly, Jianlu had started as the emperor said in his will. So he immediately summoned the generals to start an army.
After the generals finished their greetings, Lu Xiangsheng explained the situation and said happily: "The emperor clearly stated in his will that once Jianlu said he wanted to attack Jinzhou, it must be that Jianlu bluffing to cover up his conspiracy to attack Guanning Army. Our Jinzhou side must start moving according to the requirements of the will."
When Huang Degong and Cao Bianjiao heard this, they were both overjoyed and immediately stepped out and clasped their fists and said, "Sir, you have already prepared before. Now, as long as the last general leads the army to set off."
When he first received the will of Emperor Chongzhen, he began to prepare for the war. For example, military rations, military supplies, etc., all had to be budgeted and mobilized from various places, transported to Changsheng Island first, etc.
Lu Xiangsheng nodded after hearing this, and he didn't need to explain the extra words. He had already made it clear in the emperor's will.
He turned to look at the navy general Zheng Zhilong on the side and said, "So, start transporting troops!"
"Abide by the order!" Zheng Zhilong was so idle that he was about to grow hair on his body. When he heard something was going to do, he quickly agreed.
Therefore, the mixed army of Yongwei Camp and Panshi Camp had about 12,000 people, all transported from Jinzhou by Zheng Zhilong on a transport ship that had been prepared. As for the defense of Jinzhou, it was completely handed over to the infantry of the Dongjiang Army. As for the cavalry of the Dongjiang Army, there were other things to do.
From beginning to end, no one doubted the arrangement of the Ming army. What if Jianlu really wanted to capture Jinzhou and attack on a large scale? It was probably because Emperor Chongzhen's many predictions were as good as gods, which left a deep impression on them.
…………
On the grassland, after the first sneak attack, the coalition forces led by Jin Guofeng sneaked into a camp of the Naiman tribe for the second time, and were caught up by the Aohan tribe. With the military strength of the Naiman tribe, they could only escape from their destiny.
Seeing that Jin Guofeng led the coalition forces, he did not flee to Mingguo, but went around the northwest, which made Kalaqin's tribe worried and quickly reminded: "Master, the troops that are several times ours are chasing us. I'm afraid it's inappropriate to escape like this? It's better to turn around and join the army that is supporting us, so that we can be safe!"
When Jin Guofeng heard this, he laughed and said, "First of all, it is not a few times our troops, but dozens of times our troops are chasing us. Not only the Aohan and Naiman tribes, but also the Kulun and Korqin tribes, they also sent cavalrymen. Of course, the one with the most troops was the Jianlu of Liaodong, and they also sent cavalrymen to the grassland."
"..." Hearing this, several leaders of the Kalaqin tribe were stunned. They could not imagine that so many cavalrymen would be able to escape after them? Even if they fled south, they would be afraid that they would not be able to escape back to Ming Dynasty, right?
Before they could speak, Jin Guofeng looked at them and said, "Also, at this stage, we actually have no support. What I said before was that we are just strikers, and this is just for the enemy."
"..." Hearing this, the leaders of the Kalaqin tribe, who had just come to their senses, were stunned again! Only their less than 5,000 cavalry have not yet been supported. Although the grassland is large, there is nowhere to stay!
Jin Guofeng was in a good mood when he saw them. He heard about this expression at the beginning. After enjoying the "schadenfreshing" for a while, he continued: "But don't worry, since I, the Ming Dynasty, already know these things, there are naturally solutions to deal with them. You are waiting to see that we have made the first contribution in this battle."
"But..." A leader of the Kalaqin tribe was still scared and wanted to have a "But", but Jin Guofeng suddenly changed her face and said, "No, I am not afraid of me, what are you afraid of? Is my life not as good as your Jingui?"
After saying this, the leaders of the Kalaqin tribe dared not "but". They had to admit that the generals of the Ming Dynasty were not afraid, so what else were they afraid of? That means that there was really a way to deal with it, otherwise the generals of the Ming Dynasty should have cherished their lives more and would definitely not do so.
They actually guessed this wrongly.
Jin Guofeng was different from ordinary generals. In his original history, in the second battle of guarding Tashan, he refused to fight with him because he was supplemented with new recruits. Knowing that he would die when he went to the battle, he eventually took his son and more than 20 servants out of the city and eventually died in the battlefield.
On this plane, under the fanning of the butterfly effect, he transferred back to Jinzhou and asked Zu Dashou to guard Tashan, but he did not die. Although this result changed, his bravery and fearless character would not change.
I have to say that this time he led the army, there must be danger. After all, in the early stage, he had to take so many troops to circle the grassland. Even if most of the Aohan tribe and Jianlu would intercept them near the Great Wall, there would still be many times more enemies chasing behind them. If you are accidentally caught up, you will definitely not be able to defeat them.
Of course, it cannot be entirely up to luck. Therefore, Jin Guofeng robbed two camps at the beginning and plundered many horses. She could ride in exchange and speed much faster.
After roughly explaining the situation, Jin Guofeng led the coalition forces to continue to escape!
What he didn't expect was that sometimes, when luck comes, it can't be stopped.
When he led the pursuers to flee to the northwest, the Chaharma thieves just came out to rob, but ended up hitting the encirclement of the pursuers. Aohan, Naiman and the Korqin cavalry, the opened large net did not stop the escaped Ming coalition, but instead cleaned up the Chaharma thieves.
Although this war made several tribes in the west relieved and could have less harassment from the Chaharma thieves, it also slowed down their pursuit of the Ming coalition.
On this grassland, there are cavalry everywhere, chasing and catching up, which is very lively.
At the same time, Liaodong has officially begun to be lively.
In the fourth year of Hongwu, Gaizhou was changed to Gaizhou Wei and a new city was built, which was a rare town near the sea in Liaodong. Moreover, three hundred miles north of Gaizhou is Haizhou. It can be said that Gaizhou is the satellite city of Haizhou. For Jianlu, it is an important gateway to resist the enemies from the sea. In addition, the terrain of Gaizhou is a hilly area in southern Liaoning, the low mountains and hills in the east and southeast are extensions of the thousands of mountain veins, and the west and northwest are plains, which are also an important production area.
Therefore, Jianlu stationed nearly 20,000 soldiers in Gaizhou, which was considered a heavy army to guard.
Even though the Liaodong Peninsula is full of fighting, it is always very quiet. At most, the army occasionally dispatches to intercept and pursue the large Han slaves' escape tide.
On this day, the guard post by Jianlu Beach was still bored and he was chatting and living a day.
"I don't know when we can eat as before, and we can eat without any trouble if we let go, and we can still have meat?" said a fat Tartar very nostalgic.
Another relatively thin Tartar couldn't help but wonder about the good times in the past. After a while, he would win: "Oh, when you say that, my saliva is about to flow down. I'm afraid, I will never come back once this kind of life goes!"
"How is it possible? Didn't the court say that the difficulties are only temporary. My Qing Dynasty has unparalleled combat power. Now it is mainly to clear out the Solon tribe in the north, wait..."
Before the fat Tartar could finish his sentence, he was interrupted: "Wait for a ghost, do you believe this? Our Qing Dynasty has suffered several defeats against the Ming army? Even Prince Zheng died in battle!"
"What, is there such a thing?" The fat Tatar asked in surprise when he heard this.
After hearing this, the thin Tatar nodded and said, "Our Gaizhou is too far from Shengjing, and it is not well-informed. Didn't my uncle's son come once before? He lived in Shengjing and worked as a servant in Prince Li's mansion. How could he say it is fake?"
In ancient times, the general range of activities was only a hundred miles. At most, these Tartars in Gaizhou had been to Haizhou, and almost few people had the opportunity to go further away unless they were fighting and their troops were mobilized.
Even if Jianlu had to announce his own failure, he would definitely say it lightly. Generally, generals must know it, but the ordinary Tartars below were confused unless they were related. Therefore, the fat Tartars did not know it, and it was not surprising.
At this moment, when he heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly said, "Isn't Prince Zheng one of the most powerful princes in my Qing Dynasty? How could he die in battle?"
"Like Prince Rui, I met the Emperor of Ming!" The thin Tartars showed a hint of fear, "I heard that the Emperor of Ming is really the Emperor of Dragons, very powerful. You must not know about something recently. Prince Li has been captured!"
"ah?"
"At the end of last year, before the late emperor passed away, the Ming emperor led the army to Jinzhou. He had not fought and forced Prince Li to surrender." The thin man said this and emphasized, "Don't believe it. What my uncle and son said was that he was also captured at the beginning and worked in Jinzhou for a long time. Let me tell you, don't tell others that the Ming army was very powerful, and they didn't know how many artillery cannons were. They were all black muzzles. How do you think Jinzhou should be defended?"
Hearing this, the fat Tartar was stupid and said for a while: "Then...will the Emperor of Ming Dynasty come to attack us Gaizhou?"
After saying that, he subconsciously looked towards the sea, as if he was afraid that the Emperor of Ming would suddenly lead a large army to appear by the sea at this time.
"No, at that time, there were only three thousand troops in Jinzhou. In our Gaizhou, there were 20,000 troops. Although the cavalry was transferred, the troops were still strong enough. It is said that the army besieged is at least three times that of the defenders. Could it be that the Ming army..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the Fat Tartar's expression seemed a little wrong, as if he had seen a ghost. So he also followed the Fat Tartar's gaze.
I saw that countless ships had appeared on the sea at some point, floating with the Ming Dynasty flags, and were leaning towards the shore in a mighty manner.
At this moment, he was also stunned. As soon as he talked about the Ming army, the Ming army came, and he came to attack Gaizhou!
With a "slap", he slapped himself in the face, cursed "crow's mouth", and then jumped up and immediately shouted to his accomplices: "Hurry up, light a wolf smoke, I'll go back and report."
After saying that, he immediately ran to the side of the war horse.
When the fat Tartar heard this, he immediately came to his senses, spread his feet and ran away. The speed was even a little faster than the thin Tartar. He surpassed him "swoosh" and took the lead to ride a horse. At the same time, he said, "Light the wolf smoke, I'm light, I'll go back and report!"
"..." The thin Tartars saw that the fat man was moving faster than him and gave up shameless words, and they were furious. They also turned over and galloped away without saying a word, and focused on their journey.
Just like that, in order to escape, this post was not even released. If this were placed in the past, it would have been unimaginable. However, it happened in the 16th year of Chongzhen.
Of course, there are more than one kind of post at the beach, and there are still posts igniting the wolf smoke.
In the Gaizhou side, when I saw the highest level of wolf smoke rising, the guard posts on the beach all ran back, and it was immediately in chaos.
According to normal circumstances, Gaizhou will send cavalry to see if it can prevent the Ming army from landing. However, some time ago, Gaizhou was also half of the cavalry. Seeing the highest level of wolf smoke, it means that the Ming army is invading in large numbers, and the coastline is so long that the cavalry is not strong enough, so it is useless to send it out.
So, the Gaizhou defenders of Jianlu immediately sent messengers to seek emergency assistance. While continuously ordering, they prepared for the Battle of Gaizhou.
Chapter completed!
