Another great harvest day!
After returning from fishing, the North Korean sailors were all very happy, which meant that they could have more food again.
Seeing them taking the fish off the warship one by one, Ying Erdai, who was patrolling the shore, smiled and said to Shang Kexi: "It seems that it is time to start training them!"
"Your Majesty, you are right!" Shang Ke was pleased to hear this and quickly complimented, "If it weren't for Your Majesty, these Korean soldiers would probably still be starving and freezing. Once they start training, they will surely become an elite army!"
After hearing this, Ying Erdai nodded and looked at the busy North Korean sailors and stopped talking.
For a long time, he can be said to be an all-rounder in the Qing Dynasty. He can fight when he is on the horse, govern when he is dismounted, do diplomacy when going abroad, and farm at home. This is what he is proud of!
He also understood in his heart that it was precisely because of his ability that he was not beheaded when Haizhou City fell.
Now if he trains an elite navy, it will prove his ability and he is proficient in everything.
While he was thinking about it, suddenly, a guard next to him suddenly shouted in surprise: "Wolf Smoke!"
What smoke? At the first time, everyone who heard this voice thought this way?
For a long time, setting off beacon smoke was something only people from the Ming Dynasty would do, and they would look at the beacon smoke and laugh at it, which showed that the Chinese people were afraid again.
But at this time, Ying Erdai came back to his senses immediately, his face suddenly changed, and he immediately looked towards the top of the mountain to the south. Sure enough, I saw three plumes of smoke rising. It was very clear in the daytime.
Since the last time the Ming cavalry raided the hinterland of Liaodong, observation posts have been deployed along the coast. If they discover the enemy's situation, they will set off a warning. If there are three plumes of smoke, it means there are many enemies and they are very dangerous to the local area.
"What's going on?" Ying Erdai said in horror when he saw it, "Why is the Ming army coming? It must be the navy!"
Having said this, he immediately looked at Shang Kexi and shouted angrily: "Didn't you say that there are no Ming Dynasty naval forces on the other side?"
Shang Kexi really thought that there was no Ming navy on the other side, and he was a little dumbfounded when he heard this. When Ying Erdai scolded him, he immediately defended: "No... isn't there a navy in Shanhaiguan? They must...must have come around and want to make a sneak attack again, right?"
Upon hearing this, Ying O'erdai thought it was possible and immediately shouted: "The whole army is assembled and ready to fight!"
After shouting, he also wondered why the spy deployed on Huangcheng Island didn't rush back to report it?
The North Korean sailors who were carrying the load suddenly panicked when they heard the siren.
They were completely unprepared.
Under the urging of the leader, chaos immediately broke out.
I saw some of these North Korean sailors hurriedly carrying the fish piled up in the cabin and on the deck onto the shore; while other sailors were panicking and rushing back to the boat carrying the fish. No matter whether they wanted to get on the boat or get off the boat, they never thought of throwing the fish away quickly.
This situation made Ying Erdai on the shore furious and immediately shouted.
Then, the Manchu and Han generals carried out his military orders one after another, whipping them with whips or kicking them directly with their feet, kicking all the fish burdens into the sea.
Even so, those North Korean sailors were still a little reluctant to part with them. A rare encounter with a school of fish, a good harvest for a while, and then it was wasted like this?
However, the battle waits for no one.
At this time, in Port Arthur, one could see the Ming fleet appearing outside.
When Ying Erdai saw it, he immediately shouted angrily to Shang Ke beside him: "Why are you still standing there? You should get on the boat immediately to fight!"
At this time, he still admitted that he had no experience in commanding naval battles and could only rely on Shang Kexi.
However, a wry smile appeared on Shang Kexi's face, and he pointed at the still chaotic scene in the port and replied to Ying Erdai: "Sir, can't we go to war?"
They haven't been trained yet. Although they have a boat, it's just a pile of mud. They're still throwing fish from the deck. How can they fight the Ming Navy?
Ying Erdai became anxious when he saw it, and shouted sternly: "How do you know that the Ming army is ready for a naval battle? If you don't carry out military orders, don't blame our military law for being ruthless!"
If he was passively beaten, if these ships were blocked in Port Arthur and all the troops were annihilated, how could he explain to the Qing Emperor?
Therefore, while speaking sternly, he also showed a posture that he could draw the sword to kill at any time.
Shang Ke was so happy to see him that he didn't dare to say anything and rushed to the boat.
He already had an idea in his mind. His fleet was completely unprepared for this sudden naval battle. Not only were these North Korean sailors untrained, but even the warships' gunpowder cannons were not fully replenished. It would be strange if they could fight.
Now, he could only hope that those Ming warships were actually just transport ships and had no warships. In this way, both sides would still be able to fight.
If this is not the case, how many warships can be escaped, just how many warships can be escaped!
While running to the ship, Shang Kexi suddenly remembered something and shouted to Ying Erdai: "Sir, let the people on the shore prepare rocket support!"
Originally, an important place like a port should be equipped with coastal defense guns. However, the Qing Dynasty did not have so many artillery. It was never expected that the Ming army would actually attack, and there was no time to equip the artillery.
When Ying Erdai heard this, she was not angry this time, but nodded immediately.
Just like that, the battle began in Lushun Port in chaos.
………………
Zheng Hongkui, who led some of the naval forces over, was startled when he saw smoke rising from the hilltop. Unexpectedly, Jianlu had early warning measures. It seemed that if the sneak attack failed, he would have to attack by force.
As a result, when approaching the port, he found that the so-called Great Qing Navy was in chaos. This time, he despised it.
That's it, he's still a great water master! Even any pirate group in the south was better trained than them!
At this time, he suddenly felt a little regretful. If he had known that the enemy was so weak, he should have brought his nephew over to see the world.
Previously, he was worried about Zheng Fusong's safety, so he didn't let him come with him.
So Zheng Hongkui immediately sent an order, and the warships were fully loaded with sails and accelerated to meet them, blocking the so-called Great Qing Navy at the port.
However, the so-called Great Water Master still exceeded his expectations.
Then I saw the cannons of the warships of the Ming Dynasty approaching: "Boom, boom, boom..."
The sound of the cannon was like a starting gun. Instead of fighting, the North Korean sailors jumped into the sea and fled to the shore without any counterattack.
This scene really made Zheng Hongkui, who was accustomed to naval battles, stunned!
Not to mention him, even Shang Kexi and Ying Erdai on the shore were stunned and stunned by the reaction of the North Korean sailors!
At this time, a thought came to Ying Erdai's mind: Is this the elite navy he expected?
After coming back to their senses, they knew that this navy was finished!
Although only a few ships fought back, such as Ying Erdai and Shang Kexi's flagship, there were no deserters, but there were only two or three warships that fought back, and they still fought back feebly. How could they possibly attack Is the Ming army a threat?
In the end, even Shang Kexi himself jumped into the sea to escape.
The first battle between the Ming Navy and the Qing Navy was very dramatic.
Just like the previous war between the Jianlu and the Ming army, as soon as the Jianlu cavalry appeared, the Ming army fled after hearing the news.
Now, on this sea, this scene also appeared, but the two sides changed, and it was Jianlu who fled after hearing the news!
The reason for this is really not surprising at all!
The Jianlu Navy was actually just the North Korean Navy. Because of the incompetence of the North Korean court, the Navy had no combat effectiveness at all. Now they were facing the navy of their original sovereign state. The strength was engraved in their bones and had helped them repel the powerful Japanese navy.
Therefore, no matter from which aspect, these North Korean sailors have no fighting will at all when facing the Ming Dynasty Navy.
On the shore, Ying Erdai watched the war unfold and end. He had no courage but could do nothing. This feeling is really oppressive, but it can only be so oppressive.
Watching the Ming army use hooks, sickles and spears to hook up the Qing's ships, tie them with ropes, and drag them to continue sailing north under their noses, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: Naval warfare is not what the Qing Dynasty is good at! He also tried to attack the Ming Dynasty by sea. This seems to be a dream!
However, after Ying Erdai came back to her senses, she still put this terrible thought behind her. Shang Kexi crawled up to him wet and rolling, and asked sternly: "How did you fight this battle? Why did you lose so badly? I want to impeach you to His Majesty!"
"..." Shang Kexi was hit head-on and was stunned.
When he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but feel helpless. Because he understands that between him and Ying Erdai, he can only take the blame!
However, he couldn't care less about this and immediately reminded Ying Erdai: "Sir, tell me immediately, Master, the Ming Dynasty is going to rebuild Dongjiang Town, and they must be going to Pi Island!"
Upon hearing this, Ying Erdai realized the seriousness of the situation, and immediately wrote a memorial and rushed it to Shengjing for 800 miles, regardless of cleaning up the mess at Port Arthur.
As for Huang Taiji, along the way, he also inspected the places that had been destroyed by the Ming army. He just returned to Shengjing on the front foot, and rushed the eight hundred miles on the back foot.
Generally speaking, nothing good will happen if you rush this 800 miles. Huang Taiji received it once when he was marching on the grassland. Therefore, as soon as he heard that the Eight Hundred Li Express was coming, his forehead buzzed and he felt the stars.
After finally calming down, I saw that it was the Ming Dynasty Navy that appeared in Lushun, annihilated the Qing Dynasty Navy there, and prepared an urgent report to rebuild Dongjiang Town.
After understanding this, Huang Taiji was not angry but happy, and immediately laughed.
