In the following days, ship after ship of soldiers were transported from Jeju Island to Phi Island.
Fortunately, Zhao Wu had made adequate preparations in advance, so he could safely arrange the soldiers coming from Jeju Island and ensure the logistics of the reinforcements.
Many of these soldiers from Jeju Island were former soldiers under Mao Wenlong, and some were Liaodong people who were willing to join the army.
After training on Jeju Island, they were trained into an army and sent to Phi Island to prepare for the coming war.
"Get aboard!"
Zhao Wu waved his hand and ordered his three thousand-man teams and a baggage team to start boarding the ship.
The fleet at sea was led by Zheng Chao.
Teams of soldiers began to board the ship in an orderly manner according to the order of their respective teams.
Most of these soldiers are from Da Yuan Island and have already adapted to life on the ship. A small number of soldiers recruited from Phi Island have also adapted to life on the ship after such a long period of training.
As the commander of the military camp, Zhao Wu led a team of personal guards to board the flagship.
As the last soldier boarded the ship, Zheng Chao ordered: "Set sail!"
Flaggers climbed up the mast, waved their flags, and conveyed the order to set sail to other ships.
One by one, sea ships broke away from the dock and sailed towards the depths of the sea.
Zheng Tie and Yan Weixin stood on the high ground on the island, watching the fleet gradually receding on the horizon.
"When this battle is over, I will return to Da Yuan Island, and Lushun will be handed over to you." Zheng Tie turned his head and said to Yan Weixin beside him.
After hearing this, Yan Weixin said: "Commander, there is no need to go back in such a hurry. Hasn't the Military and Political Secretary not sent the order yet? And the army has not captured Lushun yet."
In fact, both of them knew that once Lushun was captured, the Tiger Character Banner would form a second navy. Then Zheng Tie had only two options in front of him, either to stay in Lushun as the commander-in-chief, or to return to Da Yuan Island to continue to be the commander-in-chief. .
It is impossible for the Military and Political Department to put both naval divisions into the hands of one person.
"With the strength of the Ming army, we cannot defend Lushun. It will be a matter of time before we take it. Besides, there are many things going on over at Da Yuan Island. I can't stay here forever." Zheng Tie said.
He told Yan Weixin clearly that he did not want to stay in Lushun.
After hearing this, Yan Weixin hesitated and said, "Even if the commander returns to Da Yuan Island, I am afraid that Lushun may not be handed over to me. Everything depends on how the lord arranges it."
Although he wanted to go one step further and become the commander of the second navy of the Tiger Flag, he was worried that the Military and Political Department had other arrangements, and he was worried about gains and losses.
"The Navy is no better than others. It needs someone who knows how to take over as the head coach. There are not many candidates who are qualified to be the head coach of the Navy. There are only you and Li Zhao. The others are too low-level to be promoted to high positions in one step. And Phidao and Jeju Island You have always been assisting me in this matter, and you are the most familiar with the situation here. I will also propose to the Military and Political Department that you stay." Zheng Tie said.
Yan Weixin looked at him and said, "Where is Zhao Wu Yingzheng? My lord brought Zhao Wu to Pi Island. Maybe he wants Zhao Wu to take over here."
Zhao Wu has been with Liu Heng as a guard for so many years and is one of the people Liu Heng trusts most.
"No." Zheng Tie said, "Although Zhao Wu has been with the lord for so many years, he is not qualified enough. The lord will not hand over the second navy to him, especially for the promotion of lieutenants. My lord rarely intervenes directly anymore, and often relies on the opinions of the Military and Political Department."
Hearing this, Yan Weixin laughed at himself: "I worry too much about gains and losses. When I encounter such a good opportunity, I am always afraid of losing it."
"Haha." Zheng Tie laughed twice and said immediately, "Don't worry, now you have the best chance of taking charge of the second navy. Even Li Zhao is not as good as you in this regard. I guess the Military and Political Secretary will probably order you to be the commander. Second navy, but your deputy should be transferred from elsewhere."
Yan Weixin said: "This is the right thing to do. I have never thought of monopolizing power. Anyone who comes here is one of our own Tiger Character Banners, and I will cooperate with them."
"That's right." Zheng Tie patted the back of Yan Weixin's hand and said, "If you stay in Liaodong, the burden on your shoulders will be heavy, so you must be prepared."
Yan Weixin nodded.
Unlike Taiyuan Island, Lushun not only faced the Ming army, but also faced the slave thieves.
It is different from the situation on Pi Island. On Pi Island, as long as the slave thieves cannot cross the sea, they cannot threaten Pi Island. However, Lushun is on land, and the slave bandit army can attack Lushun as long as they pass through the Jinzhou Guard.
The slave thieves would never miss such a good opportunity to capture Lushun, so the tiger-character flag troops who landed in Lushun and the slave thieves could not avoid a battle after all.
The first stop for the fleet departing from Phi Island is Deer Island.
At this time, the guard on Ludao Island was Shen Shikui.
This man was related by marriage to Mao Wenlong and was also a general. When Mao Wenlong was still on Pi Island, everyone on the island called him Mr. Shen.
"General, there are ships at sea."
Some soldiers guarding the island discovered the fleet at sea and immediately came to report it.
Hearing this, Shen Shikui stood up from his seat and asked hurriedly: "Can you see the flag on the ship clearly?"
"It's too far to see clearly, but the boat is coming from the direction of Pi Island." The soldier said.
After hearing this, Shen Shikui's expression suddenly changed and he said, "No, it's the rebel ship. Quick, send the order and everyone will go out to meet the enemy."
Deer Island is not big. There are only a few hundred soldiers on the island. Originally there were some common people. With the loss of Pi Island, all the people moved to Changshan Island.
Shen Shikui, who was lying in ambush near the coast, looked at the ships on the sea one after another, his expression getting more and more ugly.
Especially the largest ship on the sea. With just one look, he could confirm that the fleet on the sea was the rebels from Pi Island.
Only rebels have ships like this.
boom! boom! boom!
The fleet at sea approached Kashima and immediately opened fire on the island and bombarded the coast of Kashima.
After several rounds of shelling, small boats were finally put down, and the soldiers on board took them and rowed to Deer Island.
The Kashima Pier, which had gone through several rounds of shelling, had been completely destroyed by the shelling. Several corpses and bloodstains were left on the ground, and no other defenders on the island were seen.
A thousand soldiers landed on Deer Island in a small boat.
Along the road leading to the island from the coast, there was no obstruction along the way, and they successfully arrived at the Ming army's camp on Ludao.
Shen Shikui, who originally wanted to ambush on the shore, had to give up his plan of ambush on the shore under the bombardment of ship cannons at sea, and retreated to the camp, hoping to use the camp's defense to fend off the enemy.
"General, what should we do? I'm afraid there are thousands of rebels coming, and it will be difficult for us to hold on." said a general who was following Shen Shikui.
The garrison on Deer Island was originally to guard against slave thieves, so it was enough to guard the coastline. The camp on the island simply built some houses to accommodate people, and did not build walls at all.
