In late August 1792, Wu Siyu, who arrived at Anping Port for inspection, accompanied by Kong Shaoan, inspected the material and personnel preparations, and immediately issued an order on behalf of the Northern Navy Staff that the landing in Shandong would begin on September 1.
The general commander of the local landing operation is Kong Shaoan, and the deputy commanders are Lu Shoushan and Li Bi; one is responsible for military affairs and the other is responsible for government affairs. Needless to say, Lu Shoushan belongs to Zhao Xin's core. Li Bi had been serving as civil affairs deputy in Heilongjiang City before. Because of his diligent work in the past few years and his familiarity with Manchu government affairs, he was named by Zhao Xin.
In terms of fleet, Beihai Town will dispatch a fleet composed of twenty modified large-scale ships and four motor-driven sailing gunboats each equipped with 20 75mm guns.
In terms of personnel configuration, it includes the "Jiaodong Detachment" composed of the newly formed 15th and 16th regiments, responsible for combat tasks; there is also a rural work team composed of 300 retired officers and veterans, as well as supporting The total number of medical, logistics, communications, engineering, and agricultural technicians is 6,218.
The first phase of the entire Shandong plan started on September 1, 1792 and was expected to end in mid-October. The goal was to completely dismantle all the Qing military forces in the four counties of Rongcheng, Wendeng, Muping, and Haiyang, and to reduce the Northern Navy's The defense line is stable in Fushan, Qixia and Laiyang.
The second stage is to send work teams and medical teams to the countryside to find out the situation in each village and lay the foundation for subsequent land reform work. It is expected to be completed before spring plowing next year.
The reason for choosing this time period is mainly because the autumn harvest in the northern region has been completed and the agricultural slack season has entered. Those poor people had very little left after paying the rent to the landlords and the taxes from the government, and as winter was approaching, recruiting people was most effective at this time.
In addition, because there are fewer outings in winter, the farmers who have been recruited can also be organized to teach planting techniques for cold-resistant crops such as rye and sugar beets in advance. By the spring of next year, the personnel recruited locally in Shandong will be placed in the vast area west of Nerchinsk.
Chen Qingsong has already planned it. Each household will be allocated one hundred acres of land, and will be given a set of wood carvings. In conjunction with the "new agricultural cooperative system", the wife and children will be able to enjoy the hot kang!
In the early morning of September 1st, troops gathered in Anpyeong Port on Jeju Island. The berths of the port were filled with rafts and oars, the shadows of sails covered the sky and the sun, and groups of seagulls hovered in the sky, rising and falling.
More than 5,000 members of the Northern Navy began to board the ship under the orders of officers from various ministries. The whistles, commands, and responses at the port were endless, making the merchants from all over the country who came to trade here dumbfounded. In a teahouse closest to the pier, several businessmen from Jiangsu and Zhejiang were looking around on the second floor. They used to travel exclusively to Nagasaki. Since most of the ginseng and leather goods in the Northeast were controlled by Beihai Town, many southern businessmen secretly went to Anping Port to purchase goods due to the deliberate exposure of Shen Jingdan and Lao Huang, causing the loss of one person. The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Qing court, which had a large amount of money, was anxious.
"Who are the Beihai Navy trying to fight? Be good! This ship is packed with people."
"You're not going to fight against the imperial court, are you?"
"Wow, you can replenish the shells! You have to do it early. Brother Nong, you know how to do it? It's better to do business safely, and both parties will be at peace!"
"Goodbye, bro!"
While the businessmen were chattering, they suddenly saw a red flag with several large white characters on it held high by the Northern Navy team who were preparing to line up to board the ship at the port two hundred steps away. When one of the businessmen with good eyesight saw clearly the four characters "Jiaodong Detachment" on it, his face turned pale with fear and his hands began to tremble.
“Brother Fang, what’s written on the flag is Sege?”
"Oh my God! Qu La is going to attack Shandong!"
"Non talk about sex?!"
At 10 o'clock in the morning, because all the military supplies had been shipped a few days ago, when all the combat troops and related personnel boarded the ship, the excited Kong Shaoan took a few deep breaths, and then issued the order to set sail for the fleet over the walkie-talkie. Order.
As the two-thousand-ton Guangzhou ship as the flagship slowly sailed out of the port and merged with the four gunboats, the motor-boats and sailing ships loaded with soldiers sailed out of the port in double columns. After the fleet made a turn outside Jeju Island, it turned northwest and headed towards the Shandong Peninsula.
At this time, the Yellow Sea is at the turn of summer and autumn, the northwest wind has not yet risen, the southeast monsoon is about to recede, and the sea conditions are very stable. Twenty-four large motor-driven sailboats were like giant whales slicing through the waves on the sea, splashing with water. When the Li Chao navy patrolling nearby saw it, they immediately hid far away.
The distance from Jeju Island to Rongcheng Fish Pond Bay is nearly 300 nautical miles. The speed of the North Navy fleet has been maintained within 10 knots, so when it arrived at the sea off Rongcheng, it was already dusk of the next day.
The relevant landing procedures and plans have been rehearsed countless times on the sand table, and Kong Shaoan can recite them with his eyes closed. In addition, in order to ensure nothing goes wrong, the Northern Navy Intelligence Bureau sent people to Rongcheng six months ago to conduct thorough reconnaissance, and regularly reported the situation to Anping Port.
After the fleet entered the Fish Farm Bay, Lu Shoushan, who was holding a telescope, saw that there was no movement on the Longkouya fort. He was convinced that the Intelligence Bureau had successfully bribed the defenders, so after Kong Shaoan agreed, he told the accompanying staff: "Hit the enemy." Signal message, notify Beihai No. 3 and No. 4 to immediately use broadside artillery to bombard the Qing army dock and water camp in the fish pond. After three rounds, the troops will land, occupy the beachhead, and seize the water camp!"
Twenty minutes later, there was only a "boom" sound on the sea. A shell exploded outside the Qing army's water camp, and a plume of thick smoke rose. A few dozen seconds later, bursts of thunderous artillery sound rolled across the sea. More than twenty shells crossed the sea and landed on the Qing army's water camp and several large sailing boats. In an instant, thick smoke was everywhere, flames were rising, and the blown flagpole and ship fragments were swirling into the air, and then crackling into the water. Looking through the telescope, the Qing troops on the Shuiying Fort were running in panic like headless flies, but they couldn't hear what they were screaming, and soon they calmed down.
Lu Shoushan is expected to be the Qing army guard general who is restraining his men and regulating military discipline. However, as the North Navy's artillery fire continued ashore, the fort disappeared in the thick smoke and fire.
After the three rounds of shelling, Chengshan Flood Village was bombed with smoke and mist. Lu Shoushan and Kong Shaoan on the flagship could not see anything clearly. At this time, the golden crow fell from the sky, and the sea, sky and land in the distance were lost in chaos.
"The end of the sky!" Kong Shao'an's heart was racing at this moment, and he wanted to compose a poem, but there was not much ink in his stomach, so he only thought of Su Dongpo's "Looking to the west of Muling Pass, and looking to the east of Langye Terrace", which was a pity. None of them deserve the occasion.
Not far away from him, Li Bi's hands holding the telescope were trembling slightly, and he was shocked and speechless by the scene of heavy artillery fire. This man had joined Beihai Town for many years and had never been to the battlefield in person. He occasionally watched the soldiers in the garrison camp practice target practice. Although he had fired a few shots in person, his thin shoulders were sore from the recoil force that he could no longer do it. Lost interest.
"Tatars really don't have a long memory! After several years, the defense is still so bad!" Lu Shoushan on the side saw that Beihai No. 3 and No. 4 had occupied the beach, and ordered: "Inform the leading troops to land!"
When the Northern Navy landed in Rongcheng four years ago, the Qing troops along the Jiaodong coast were only nervous for a year, and then returned to their lazy normal state. Originally, the Qing government wanted to strengthen the warships and artillery in the front camp of the Dengzhou Navy, but with the Battle of Changxing Island and the Northern Navy's approach to Dagukou, the Ministry of War decided to forget it. Defending the capital was the top priority, so they decided to All military expenditures for the expansion of warships and forts were invested in Dagukou and the reconstruction of Lushun Water Camp.
The two subsequent governors of Shandong, Chang Lin and Huiling, made various arrangements, and with the consent of Qianlong, they slightly reorganized the forts, added several gun emplacements, and added a few large cannons to the water camp, which was better than nothing. . Now that the Northern Navy has arrived, it is useless to rush in front of the gunboats. The forts everywhere have not fired a single shot. The Qing government's coastal defense in Shandong has been a complete failure.
After two companies of the newly formed 16th Regiment landed ashore, they found that the remnants of the Qing army had fled, so they began to deploy defenses and clean up the debris on the battlefield. There were dozens of injured Qing soldiers, and they were all carried to two relatively intact barracks for treatment by military doctors. As for the dead, they were all carried and buried outside the water camp. At the same time, all the maritime fleets have entered the fish pond bay to berth, and the large forces will land ashore tomorrow morning and carry out follow-up operations.
When it got dark around seven o'clock, the soldiers of the Northern Navy on duty at the sentry tower at the north gate of Shuiying discovered that a large number of torches were coming from the southeast; at a glance, there were almost hundreds of people.
When the company commander who heard the news arrived, the large group of people had already arrived a hundred meters away from the Shuiying gate. Only then did the sentry see clearly that the people who came were all Qing soldiers in uniform. Because the light and shadow were blocked by The night wind was blowing erratically, so it was not clear whether they were armed.
"Stop! If you get closer, we'll shoot!" As the sentry shouted, more than a dozen North Koreans standing behind the bunker raised their guns and took aim. The Qing soldiers who were walking at the front stopped, and then they all knelt on the ground without saying a word, leaving the Beihai Navy behind the bunker confused.
At this time, I saw a man walking out of the crowd of Qing soldiers. He raised his hands and walked to a position seven or eight meters away from the gate before stopping. He said with a smile: "The gold is intact!"
Hearing the secret code spoken by the other party, the captain of the Beihai Navy, who had been notified in advance, was shocked, and then said in a deep voice: "Unify the rivers and mountains! One of our own?"
When the man came closer, the North Navy officers and soldiers behind the bunker saw clearly that the man looked to be in his thirties, with a beard, a black turban on his head, and a somewhat shabby uniform. . The man took out a metal sign slightly larger than a silver dollar from his arms and handed it to the company commander, and said softly: "My surname is Yu. These are the defenders of Longkouya Fort and Matouzui Fort who were instigated to rebel. A total of one hundred and twenty None of the ten people were armed, but it would be best to search their lower bodies after a while. In addition, there were several Generals and General Qian who refused to surrender, and they were all tied up. In addition, I want to see the commander-in-chief immediately. "
The company commander took it and shined a flashlight on it, and saw that on the front of the sign was a red five-star with a vertical long sword under it, surrounded by two wisps of wheat. Turn it over and on the back was a shield with a small one in the center. The red five-star number. He immediately handed the sign back, stood at attention and gave a military salute to the man, and then asked two of his men to take him to the dock to take a boat.
At this time, a kneeling Qing soldier shouted loudly: "Brother Yu, you can't leave us!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the other kneeling Qing soldiers also shouted. The man turned around and laughed, comforting: "Brothers, please get up. I, Yu Shun, keep my word! Please rest in peace!" This officer will make arrangements for you!"
After that, he waved his hand and strode away. After the company commander waited for the people to leave, he asked the Qing troops on the opposite side to go around the bunker in groups of five. Under the watchful eyes of more than a dozen gun-wielding soldiers, he searched them one by one. After confirming that they did not carry any weapons, they were taken down and left empty. .
During this period of time, the machine guns on the sentry tower had been monitoring every move of these Qing troops, ready to shoot at any time. It was not until more Northern Navy troops arrived and surrounded all the Qing troops that the two machine gunners relaxed. A lot.
The surrendered Qing troops were very frightened when they saw Bei Haijun's posture, but thinking about the benefits Yu Shun had told them before, and being surrounded by dark gun muzzles, they could only endure it with trepidation.
After the body search was completed, the tied generals were taken down and imprisoned, while the Qing troops who surrendered were placed in three rows of barracks. After struggling for several hours and driving dozens of miles, the Qing army of more than 100 men was thirsty and hungry. Just as they were thinking about asking for a drink of water from Bei Haijun, they heard a creaking sound on the door of the house and two men on their waists. Bei Haijun walked in wearing a white apron and carrying a load on his shoulders.
The leader put the pick down and spoke in Rongcheng dialect with a smile: "Man, are you hungry? The white flour dumplings and beef soup just came out of the pot! Open them up and eat them, there is not enough!" "
Oops! Dozens of Qing troops in the room rushed over and grabbed them with their dirty big hands. Even though they were grinning because they were burned, they still stuffed them into their mouths regardless. In the blink of an eye, they had eaten a steamed bun weighing two or two. . After a while, the bottom of the basket of steamed buns was gone.
"Catch him slowly! Don't choke!" The older cook soldier rolled his eyes when he saw a young Qing soldier being choked. He hurriedly went over to rub his chest, then took half a bowl of beef soup from his companion and handed it to him. He said in front of him: "Good guy! How long has it been since you caught food?"
The young man glanced at the cook gratefully, and without talking, he took a sip of the soup and then bit into the steamed bun. At this time, I heard a slightly hoarse voice murmuring incomprehensibly: "I have been waiting for you to come since noon. I have been tossing all afternoon, tying people up, sealing up cannon gates, and driving dozens of miles. There’s time to catch some food!”
They were all from the Longkouya Fort. After noon, they started moving separately. According to the agreement with Yu Shun, they first tied up the leader and General Qian and locked them up in the woodshed, and then used molten iron to melt the fort. All the fire doors of the large and small artillery were blocked. In the afternoon, when they met the people coming from Ma Touzui on the way, the sound of cannons on the sea rang out. Yu Shun and others waited in the woods ten miles away for more than an hour. When they heard the sound of cannons stopped, they rushed over.
After that, the man stood up, walked to the picker, grabbed three steamed buns, and asked the other man to refill the bowl of soup. After another steamed bun was eaten, he swallowed a piece of beef floating in the bowl, licked his lips with his tongue, glanced at the vat of broth, and said to the cook in a flattering manner: "Brother, let's hear this. The boss said, if you come today, you won’t leave in the future?”
"Yes! I'm not leaving!"
"You won't leave even if the imperial court sends out troops?"
The two cooking soldiers looked at each other, smiled, nodded and said, "I'll beat him up if he dares to come!"
At this time, in the captain's cabin on the flagship, Captain Yu Shun of the Northern Navy Intelligence Bureau was reporting to Kong Shao'an, Lu Shoushan and Li Bi about the situation in Jiaodong.
"...This is the situation at Longkou Cliff and Ma Touzui Fort. In addition, there are our people at Shidao Fort. As soon as the troops arrive tomorrow, the defenders will come out and surrender."
Kong Shaoan nodded approvingly and asked, "How is the situation in Rongcheng?"
Yu Shun took a sip of water and said: "The former Magistrate Li before Rongcheng was transferred to Jimo. The new one's surname is Yang and he is from Cantonese. However, this person just arrived two months ago, and it was when his eyes darkened. We have our spies from top to bottom in the county government. The situation is the same in Wendeng. The county magistrate came last year. He is from Shanxi and I heard he is a Jinshi. In addition, Muping and Haiyang counties are currently only among the government officials because of time constraints. Some work has been done and a contact point has been set up in the city.”
Lu Shoushan said: "Tell us about the situation of the Qing army."
Yu Shun had an excellent memory. Many figures were not recorded in his notebook at all. He just opened his mouth and came up with them as if they were treasures from home. The staff officer responsible for recording on the side was writing furiously.
"Wendeng originally had an alliance of less than 700 troops. After we came here four years ago, another garrison was added. The current number of troops is 1,200, and the actual strength is more than 1,100. Dengzhou Town The commander-in-chief is called Enthemo, a Manchu from the Zhengbai Banner. He used to be the acting general of the Chinese Army in Hunan Province, and his military management is quite rigorous. At present, the two battalions on the left and right of Dengzhou Town, plus the Qi Barracks, have a total of 2,700 soldiers. There is one guerrilla in the middle army, two soldiers in the camp, three guards in the middle army, six in charge of the thousand, and 12 in charge of the general."
"Where's the vacancy?"
"The actual vacancy is not large. In recent years, the Ministry of War and the Shandong Governor have strictly inspected it, and they are basically full. In addition, the Qing army closest to us has three groups, Jiaozhou Association, Laizhou Camp and Jimo Camp. The soldiers in the three places are respectively Seven hundred, seven hundred, six hundred.”
Li Bi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked: "Who is the governor of Shandong now?"
Yu Shun said: "Ji Qing is from the Zhengbai Banner and belongs to a clan."
"Hmm...is his father's name Wan Fu, who used to be General Jiang Ning?"
"It seems so. This person just arrived. The original governor Huiling was transferred to Sichuan. I heard that he followed Fukang'an to fight against Gorkha."
Kong Shaoan was happy when he heard this. Okay! Wish you all the best, this name is so festive! He thought for a moment and asked the last question: "How is the harvest in Jiaodong this year?"
Yu Shun sighed, shook his head and said: "Not good. Last year, all counties in Jiaodong were hit by winds and floods, and the harvest was severely damaged. The court, oh, the Qing court raised 300,000 kilograms of rice from water transportation for famine relief, and people fleeing the famine came to Everyone returned to their hometowns after spring plowing. This year is slightly better than last year. There have been many beggars outside Rongcheng County in the past two days, and it is similar to other places. I think that once we conquer the county, these people will be the first to be dealt with. livelihood issues.”
After hearing this, Kong Shaoan said nonchalantly: "Open a warehouse to stock up on food. If it doesn't work, we'll kill the local tyrants!"
Li Bi had served as a Manchu County magistrate and had also been responsible for relieving victims. He was well aware of all the tricks involved. After hearing this, he quickly dissuaded him and said, "Commander-in-Chief, this is not allowed!"
Everyone else in the cabin looked suspicious, but after hearing the other person's explanation, they couldn't help but suddenly realized.
