In this way, from Gaizhou in the north to Lushun in the south, this coastal area was once again invaded by smart people.
Everything of value was taken away. The houses that could not be taken away were also set on fire, and even the crops were not spared.
It doesn’t matter if the wheat is not mature yet. Cut it first and then burn it. In short, you won’t leave any regrets!
This was how the Qing Dynasty King entered the customs before. Now it was his turn to taste what it was like.
This is not what the Japanese army said. They were mainly troops from the Ming Dynasty.
Denglai Navy dispatched three thousand marines, Tianjin Navy dispatched an equal number of troops, Zheng Zhibao also sent a thousand men ashore to cooperate, and then there was a European mercenary battalion.
The total number of nearly 7,500 people was equivalent to the establishment of a Qing army under one banner. It seemed that the landing force was not too many, but it could not withstand the cooperation of hundreds of warships behind them.
With the cooperation of hundreds of missiles and hundreds of heavy artillery, the Zheng fleet that rushed into Lushunkou took less than three days to capture Lushun City again.
The reason is simple. Lushun City is a coastal city, completely within the range of ship-borne heavy artillery and missiles.
Covered by such ferocious firepower, the defenders had no ability to parry, let alone fight back.
The defeated generals who escaped from Lushun City quickly fled to Jinzhou Guard, but the defenders here were only Niu Lu.
Thinking of the situation last year, everyone was so frightened that they had no intention of fighting and ran away to resume the state defense!
Trying to use hundreds of people to resist a tidal wave of attacks by tens of thousands of Japanese troops?
Are you crazy?
The commander garrisoned here is still Beizi Ye Shuotuo, a man with a red flag in the Qing Dynasty. Originally, he was going to be punished and demoted due to the crime of defeat.
However, Dorgon spoke kindly to him, and his father Daishan wanted to kill him. Emperor Taiji felt pity, so he pardoned Shuotuo and ordered him to continue to garrison Fuzhou Guard to pay for his crime and perform meritorious service.
Use a thousand men to resist tens of thousands of Japanese troops?
How to get rid of crime and make meritorious service?
Shuotuo looked at the defeated soldiers in front of him, and thought of his biological father who wanted to chop him into pieces with a knife, and his heart was filled with anxiety and resentment.
If he loses all his capital, he will not only lose the opportunity to gain military exploits in the future, but he will also be convicted of two crimes, and he may even lose his title of viscount.
If you stay here and fight to the death, the result will be that everyone dies in battle, that's all.
If you run northward, unless you dominate the mountain and become the king, you will end up with the same fate as last year.
The drunk Shuotuo thought about himself and the soldiers under his command after sleeping soundly all night.
A painful and difficult decision was made - to surrender to the Ming Dynasty!
I heard that the Crown Prince of Ming Dynasty is not very old, but he is extremely wise. As long as he hates himself less than his own father Daishan, he might be able to save his life.
After gathering the remaining defeated generals, Shuotuo led nearly 1,500 troops and horses, together with his family members, to surrender the Ming army that came to attack Fuzhou Guard!
Mao Yuanyi, the commander-in-chief of the Denglai Navy who was responsible for commanding this battle, couldn't help but smile from ear to ear. This was the most glorious result since the counterattack.
Besides, capturing a Bei Ziye is worth a huge amount of 350,000 taels of silver. How can we not make all the soldiers in the army excited?
Including Shuotuo's troops and horses, the total value is as high as 700,000 taels!
In other words, based on the harvest in Fuzhou Guard alone, all the soldiers participating in this operation, including the sailors on the ship, can receive at least fifty taels of silver per person!
Not in vain!
It’s really not in vain~!
In view of Shuotuo's special status, Mao Yuanyi would naturally not deliberately embarrass him and his family.
After all, this is the most valuable "tribute" in my hand so far!
In order to avoid long nights and many dreams, Jiexuan was immediately sent to lead a fleet of warships to transport Shuotuo and his family to the capital.
After Shuotuo surrendered here, it meant that the defense line south of Fuzhou Guard was almost useless.
There aren't even many soldiers and horses left, let alone resisting or even counterattacking the Ming army's attack?
From the bombardment of Lushun to the back to Gaizhou Guard, it only took five days, which can be said to be a very fast force.
There is only one Niulu garrison here, and the Eight Banners' armored soldiers are only fifty, and the rest are made up of Han soldiers.
Between three hundred and more than seven thousand fully armed Ming troops, even if the Qing troops were all cavalry, the chances of winning were slim.
This is no longer the time for the Qing army to run amok in western Liaoning. As long as it doesn't rain, the Ming army's elite infantry units with all firearms can block the Qing army's cavalry charge.
The Ming army, which had flintlocks, grenades, small guns, and mortars, was not afraid of the small number of Qing cavalry at all.
Two hundred taels for a pigtail, but I'm afraid the number of people coming is too small, and there won't be enough money after the war!
Gaizhou Guard was very important, but because it was very close to the seaside, Huang Taiji simply did not dare to let the obedient King Kong Youde place his family here again.
Once the Gaizhou Guards were besieged by tens of thousands of Japanese troops, and the main force of the Qing army was still fighting the decisive battle with the Ming army in the Jinzhou area, there would be no time to divide the troops, so how could they provide help?
Gaizhou Guards just kept a Niu Lu here as an eyeliner to act as an early warning.
Seeing the enemy's comeback, the defenders in the city did not dare to hold on, considering that the gap between the enemy and ourselves was too large, and ran directly to Haizhou Guard.
There is the gateway to Liaoyang. There is a garrison of Jiala, supplemented by dozens of artillery. It is expected that the Goumanzi will not be able to capture it in a short time.
In this way, within seven days, the landing fleet attacked the three cities of Lushun, Fuzhouwei and Haizhouwei. Considering that Qing army reinforcements might arrive, they stopped as soon as possible.
However, they did not withdraw their troops and return to their home base. Instead, they used some warships to send back the loot while the rest went to the east coast of the peninsula to continue looting.
No matter it is the Changshan Islands or the coastal area on the opposite side, they will not be spared. Once they have absolute control of the sea and take advantage of their military strength, they can carry out raids unscrupulously.
The warships that Huang Taiji ordered to build before have now become the possessions of the Ming army fleet. The built ones can be directly incorporated into the fleet, and the rest will be burned. However, Yu Min can keep his own fishing boats.
From now on, there will be no navy in the braid, because the navy does not have warships, so what is the use of the navy?
Every year after the beginning of spring, the Ming fleet would repeatedly raid the coastal areas of the Liaodong Peninsula, unless the warships were moved ashore and hidden in advance.
Before autumn, Ming warships would repeatedly travel to and from coastal waters. The purpose was to monitor the situation on the shore and sink an enemy ship when it found one.
The Ming army officers and soldiers temporarily based on Changshan Islands, Shicheng Island, and Wangjiashan Island are also willing to do this kind of thing.
Mainly in Denglai, seafood has to be supplied to a large population on the shore, so the price is naturally relatively high.
It’s much cheaper here, you don’t have to spend much money, and you can eat all you want seafood, so the soldiers are naturally very happy.
Since the large-scale counterattack of the Wang Division last year, the Qing navy has not yet recovered its strength, so it is naturally unable to land on these islands.
The fishermen were relieved without the oppression of pigtails, and they hoped that it would be like this every year in the future.
This year, seeing the King's battleship coming, he was naturally very happy to offer the fish, shrimp, shells and crabs he caught.
Not to mention giving some money, even if you don't give any money and send out a boatload of seafood, it is much better than honoring the flag soldiers!
A certain prince demanded that all the troops in the king's division, regardless of their rank, should not eat and drink for free, and the generals in each division should also manage the army in this way.
This principle is very simple and easy to understand. If you don't spend money and let the people do it for nothing, a certain prince will not spend money and let you do it for nothing. How can you be happy?
It’s just a comparison of feelings!
If you disobey the Holy Order and don't want to compete, then use a knife to dig out the black heart and make it "happy"!
When the fishermen got the money, they thanked the king's soldiers profusely and wished they could live on the island all year round.
Some people are happy, some people are unhappy.
Dorgon was puzzled at first when he saw that the barbarians and the Japanese pirates withdrew after only one battle. Only when the peninsula sent an urgent letter did he realize that he had been fooled.
But I still can't figure it out. Since the opponent has landed from the sea, why don't they continue the attack? Don't they want to relieve the Jinzhou defenders?
On the day of the battle, the troop reduction exceeded 5,000. In the following month, more than 4,000 people died from injuries and illnesses, which added up to 10,000 people.
The question is, is it obvious that the demon boy is satisfied with these results?
Sent out 100,000 people, got 10,000 results and then fled?
Unbelievable!
The casualties on the peninsula were not big, they were just three cities captured by the dog barbarians, and then Wang Shi regained them one after another.
The real first thing was that Shuotuo actually surrendered Goumanzi, but at that time, the things that Huang Taiji should have had a headache were not his own, so Dorgon didn't bother to think about it.
This incident made Daishan furious after receiving his reward, demanding that Shuotuo be captured and his whole family executed. Shuotuo was as powerful as the Qing Dynasty and should be punished!
What's the use of speaking harshly at this time?
We need to take a long-term approach!
Huang Taiji put the matter aside for the time being, since it would be impossible to catch Shuo Tuo for a while anyway.
What puzzled Huang Taiji was that the reinforcements that came to relieve the siege of Jinzhou City withdrew after one battle.
Is it possible that you don’t want to save Zu Dashou?
It's obviously a perfunctory job!
And without the reinforcements, the Qing Dynasty King's strategy of siege and reinforcements would not work!
The bitter pill of swallowing five or six thousand casualties is naturally not good to eat.
We have to find a place to make up for it!
Change fishing to assault?
When he saw the three trenches that had been dug around the city, Huang Taiji began to hesitate again.
Isn't this causing trouble for yourself?
With these trenches, our own attack becomes a problem.
If a siege fails, it will be very difficult for the soldiers to withdraw quickly, and they will have to be targeted by the barbarians in the city.
In desperation, Huang Taiji could only order the siege to continue after discussion with the civil servants and generals to see what other countermeasures Man Ming had.
Unlike the siege of Dalinghe City, Wang Zaijin sent another batch of food two years ago. At present, the food in Jinzhou City is enough to last three years.
Therefore, Zu Dashou, who had food in hand, was not in a hurry, and just waited for the reinforcements to decide the winner with the Qing army.
Although the soldiers under his command heard the rumble of cannons, they also understood that reinforcements were coming.
But as the war calmed down, the results obviously disappointed everyone.
As long as there is food to eat, he will not die, and it does not matter if reinforcements may not come for a while.
If it doesn't work this year, there will be next year, and if it doesn't work next year, there will be the year after that. In short, it will be enough to rescue Jinzhou City within three years.
This request was definitely not too much, and a certain prince had written to Zu Dashou in advance, asking him to be prepared to stick to it for three years.
It is obviously unwise to have a decisive battle with Huang Taiji now, and there is no guarantee of victory.
If it drags on for three years, the situation on both sides will change significantly.
How to turn the tide, a certain prince's strategy is just one word - drag!
If something happens, the Japanese troops will be used to attack first, and the braids will penetrate into the pass. The troops in Jifu area will take the initiative to shrink to the capital.
There were only two battles fought in the spring and summer battles. Judging from the results, the Ming Dynasty was considered the winner.
However, as the rescue of Jinzhou failed, the tactics were unsuccessful, and the strategic significance was not worth mentioning.
What a certain prince wanted was results. He could not win ten thousand braids in one year, and thirty thousand in three years.
Without massive loss of one's own forces, this is a great success.
The real reason that made Hota Masamori withdraw his troops was that a large-scale rebellion occurred in the grain-producing areas south of the Ming Dynasty, which may not guarantee the food supply for the army.
Hong Chengchou dispatched 30,000 troops to help Emperor Chongzhen suppress rebellions in various places in the south of the Yangtze River. One can imagine the seriousness of the matter. TV first @@@
Therefore, in the Jinzhou battlefield, it is enough to let the Japanese army have their will.
If they really fight to death, Beiting will be short of food and money!
A certain prince never expected that the huge sum of 28 million taels lent to the Ministry of Revenue would be repaid in a short time.
More than that, cashing out the silver from soldiers' battle results is a contribution from an ATM machine.
In addition to the nobles in the capital, there are three ATM machines in the north.
The merchants of Shanxi belong to one group, and the vassal kings belong to another group.
Another ATM machine is in Qufu!
A certain prince sent Zhou Yuji and two brigades of 10,000 people to withdraw money, but anyone else would not be at ease.
After so long delay, it’s my turn, Dayan Shenggong, to appear!
Yanshenggong originated from the Zhao and Song Dynasties and experienced the Song, Jin, Yuan and Ming dynasties.
One million taels in one day, four million taels in four dynasties, and another one million taels were donated to defend against the enemy.
The total is five million taels, no less than one tael of silver!
Is this dynasty collecting money for the previous dynasty?
Does this make sense?
Whoever dares to reason with a certain prince will be invited to the capital to live in the imperial prison, and he will be chosen from Dongchang, Beichang, and Jinyiwei!
It is said that the Kong family is an iron-clad and flowing dynasty!
That prince must withdraw all the cash in this ATM before he escapes from this court!
Kong Yanzhi, the contemporary Yanshenggong, said he had no money, so he was treated like a family member mining!
Qufu is not far from Ye County, and you can reach the mining area within a few steps.
Wait until you have dug enough ore worth five million taels of silver before you come back!
Kong Mouzhi didn’t want to mine until he died, so he immediately expressed that he had money...
Treating the respectable and lovely Duke Yansheng like this has no regard for Confucianism and is absolutely treasonous.
Kong Mouzhi asked for a counteroffer, up to one million taels, and no more!
Zhou Yuji said how about starting the negotiation again with ten million taels of silver?
Kong Mouzhi realized that this guy was difficult to deal with, so he planned to give away money for personal gain.
Zhou Yuji caught him and wanted to write a letter to report to the prince.
I think the Donglu army entered Shandong last year, but they didn't come to Qufu. I guess there must be someone in the house who collaborated with the enemy!
Two sins equal one, the whole family should be distributed mining!
So Kong Mouzhi was raised to two million taels, and Zhou Yuji was given another 200,000 taels as a gift...
Zhou Yuji shook his head and said that the Kong family occupies a large area and is disturbing the people. It seems that they are taking it by force. If he reports it to the prince, he may investigate the matter thoroughly.
Kong Mouzhi gritted his back molars, and the price rose to three million taels, so he wouldn't give away the two hundred thousand taels...
Zhou Yuji said that three million taels can only buy half of the Kong family. Do you want male or female dependents?
Kong Mouzhi was immediately shocked. At this price, wouldn't it cost six million taels to buy it all?
Is this a kidnapper?
Blatant extortion!
Is there any royal law? ? ?
its not right?
Didn’t you just say five million taels?
