The Navy has this advantage: it can travel around the clock.
In this way, after arriving at Deer Island near the mouth of the Yalu River, the army went ashore to rest. There were almost no Xindao Islands in later generations at this time, and they had not yet been impacted to form islands. Otherwise, this place would be more suitable for rest and recuperation.
Dubu bid farewell to Lu Xiangsheng and headed to North Korea to contact Lin Qingye to get the latest news about the Jianlu army.
As soon as he left, Li Dingguo reminded Lu Xiangsheng with a little worry: "Sir, could it be that Jianlu was helpless against our army, so he came up with this trick to deal with us?"
At this time, Lu Xiangsheng admired him very much because of the Battle of Lushun, especially the way he properly resolved the affairs of the people of Jinzhou, and was promoted to the position of guerrilla.
Lu Xiangsheng was very pleased with his words, nodded and said: "Yes, as a general of an army, you must consider all aspects. I am very pleased that you have this idea. But don't worry, I have sent a Korean national Our personal guards have dispersed into North Korea to get the news. As long as the two sides can face each other, we can basically determine the truth of the matter!"
At this point, he sighed again and said: "In this world, there is never a 100% certainty. Therefore, as long as you feel that you can't be wrong nine times out of ten, don't hesitate when it's time to take action!"
When he said this, Lu Xiangsheng naturally didn't know that if Emperor Chongzhen were to do this, he would be 100% sure as long as he spread the eavesdropping seeds.
Not to mention how Lu Xiangsheng gave Li Dingguo advice, he said that after going to North Korea alone, he was discovered by patrolling North Korean soldiers on the coast, and was then taken to Lin Qingye. Needless to say, this must have been explained by Lin Qingye in advance.
As soon as the people arrived, Lin Qingye couldn't wait to reject everyone. After confirming that there was no problem, he quickly asked Dudu Road with a little worry: "Master, how is the situation?"
In his opinion, Dubu's return was much earlier than he thought. Therefore, he was a little worried. Could it be that he had not seen the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty, or that the Ming Dynasty hated North Korea for its treachery, so it rejected the request to send troops to rescue people?
But as soon as he finished asking, Dupo showed excitement, which made him feel relieved. It must not be what he thought!
Sure enough, Dubu whispered to him: "The Governor agreed to lead the army in person, and the total is this number!"
As he spoke, he held out four fingers.
"Four thousand?" Lin Qingye couldn't help but said in surprise, "Didn't you tell the Governor, there are five thousand soldiers and horses here!"
Having said this, he hesitated for a while and then said: "Although the combat effectiveness of our Korean soldiers is a bit inferior, there are still four thousand troops after all. Marshal Jin Zidian of the capital is wholeheartedly trying to please Jianlu, and he will definitely not give in. . In addition, Jianlu himself has a thousand troops, so... don’t be afraid that he won’t be able to defeat you, right? The governor will take the risk himself? "
Dubu couldn't help but smile when he saw it, and whispered: "Among the four thousand in the Ming army, one thousand are cavalry! And the elite of the Ming army is far beyond the imagination of the donor. The poor monk believes that it can fight, and it can fight Gotta win!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Qingye couldn't help but was stunned for a while, stretched out a finger and said: "You mean, there are a thousand cavalry troops? There are actually a thousand cavalry troops on the Dongjiang Army?"
Whether they are elite or not depends on the person, it’s hard to say. But the cavalry army is right there. If it is a cavalry army, it is a cavalry army.
"Well, when the poor monk went, the Ming cavalry just arrived. Because many were tired from the journey and could not fight, they only selected a thousand cavalry to participate in the battle." As for the total number, it's not that Dubu didn't tell him, but he didn't know either. I just saw that there were many.
There are so many cavalry troops, which shows that Ming Dynasty has reversed its previous lack of attention to Dongjiang. It can be seen from this that the elite of the Ming army should not have escaped. In addition, the Governor of Baoding personally led the army...
Lin Qingye was thinking about this information, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He couldn't help but rub his hands together, vigorously without realizing it.
In the 10th year of Chongzhen's reign, Yang Sichang, who was trusted by Emperor Chongzhen at that time, was inclined to withdraw from the island before the fall of Pidao. After hearing the news of the fall of Pidao on April 22, he decided to "split the troops between the emperor (Imperial City Island), Jue (Juehua Island) and the two islands, the people returned to the eight cities of Ning (Ningyuan) and Jin (Jinzhou)."
In the eleventh year of Chongzhen, taking the opportunity of Shen Zhixiang's surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Yang Sichang ordered all the thousands of soldiers and civilians remaining on the Dongjiang Town Islands to be evacuated to the Ning and Jin areas. He said: "As for the side of the map, only Guan Ning can correct it. There is no such thing as Denglai. If Guan Ning can be righteous, there is no need to have the miraculousness of Denglai. If Guan Ning cannot be rectified, even if there is something strange about it?"
If the original historical development were to follow, Dongjiang Town would be gone, and Jianlu would no longer be restrained by the flanks, and he could safely and boldly go to the pass first and then go to the pass. But the so-called Zhengbing Guan Ning can only guard the turtle shell and do nothing.
However, in this dimension, Emperor Chongzhen not only killed Yang Sichang, but also attached great importance to Dongjiang Town. Not only did he send elites, he even sent frontier officials to personally lead the army.
This matter is naturally very happy for North Korea, especially for North Korea's generals who do not want to succumb to the power of the Jianlu.
Seeing how happy Lin Qingye was, Dubu followed him and had fun for a while. Seeing that he had no intention of stopping, he reminded him: "The Governor needs detailed military information from Jianlu. Is the donor ready?" ?”
"Oh, okay, I've been watching it for a long time!" Lin Qingye came back to his senses and felt a little embarrassed after hearing what he said. It’s been a long time since I’ve heard good news like this. It was like after countless rainy days, it suddenly became sunny.
After finishing speaking, he took out a long manuscript and handed it to Doppo.
When Dubu unfolded it, it was recorded in date order, such as on a certain day of the month, how many troops there were, how many troops there were in the North Korean army, what the ratio of arms was, where they arrived, how long they stayed, etc.
By reading this long manuscript, you can have a clear grasp of what happened after Jianlu set off from Seoul.
Seeing Dubu watching, Lin Qingye said with some anticipation: "If I hadn't been unable to leave, I would have really wanted to go with you to meet the Governor and the new Dongjiang Army!"
Dubu had finished reading at this time, put away the manuscript, and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry, looking at the situation, the Ming Dynasty should be very attentive to Liaodong Jianlu. I believe it won't be long before you can fight with the Ming army in an open and honest manner." Let’s go fight Jianlu together!”
"I hope that one day we can kill the Tatars together!" Lin Qingye said with emotion after hearing this, "The Tatars will not be destroyed, and North Korea will not be at peace!"
At this point, he showed a trace of expectation and said: "I hope that in this battle, Lord Kim can be successfully rescued, and Lord Yenzheng will no longer have to endure the humiliation and bear the burden of carrying the reputation of a capitulationist. Let us all in North Korea be able to Pick yourself up again, the Ming Dynasty will always be the Ming Dynasty, and North Korea will never abandon its suzerainty again and be reviled by future generations!"
In this regard, Dubu didn't say anything. After chatting for a while, he hurriedly said goodbye without resting.
By the time Dubu met the Governor of Baoding in the Ming Dynasty again, Lu Xiangsheng's personal guards had also returned and reported the news to Lu Xiangsheng. The information about Jianlu's army going to Seoul and then returning is consistent with the information provided by Dubu before. Today, no more troops have been found in North Korea.
Lu Xiangsheng was relieved a lot about this. As long as there are no other rebel armies in North Korea, there is no need to be afraid even if there is fraud among them. What's more, what I brought this time...
Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng showed a hint of excitement.
The Battle of Lushun was a passive defensive battle. Although there were casualties among the captives, there were not many. But this time, the Ming army took the initiative to attack. If all these thousand Jianlu were to be eaten, I believe the slave chief would be frightened.
Haha, it’s time to show off the strength of the New Dongjiang Army!
Just as he was thinking about it, Dubu also came back, and the document about the situation of the Jianlu army that was presented to him made him even more happy. The Jianlu army had such a clear grasp of the situation that they had already won half the battle before even fighting.
Therefore, Lu Xiangsheng immediately held a military meeting to estimate the Jianlu's next itinerary, and then discussed ambush points, preparing to eat all the Jianlu in one bite.
Of course Doppo would not participate in such a military meeting. He rushed back and forth and was arranged to go down to rest.
Lu Xiangsheng emphasized in the meeting that we must capture the Zhenying Erdai at the head of Gushan Mountain in Zhengbai Banner. This was the one the emperor wanted by name.
The generals of the Ming army did not take this request seriously. After all, it was normal to capture the enemy's leader.
After the discussion, the army began to gather again, leaving Kashima by boat and heading towards North Korea.
…………
North of Iron Mountain, on the official road leading from Pyongyang to Liaodong, there is a long line of people with no end as far as the eye can see.
Most of these people were carrying spears, firecrackers and the like, and were walking listlessly. These people are obviously all Korean soldiers. They are completely different from the money-rat-tailed Tatars walking behind them, whether in terms of mental outlook or equipment and weapons.
However, the most eye-catching thing in this team was not the contrast between the soldiers, nor the carts of grain, but the prison car following closely behind the grain cart.
The person in the prison car has a white beard and hair. He is an old man.
Although the temperature was already a little low at this time, under the direct sunlight, the old man had his head drooped and looked very sluggish in the prison car.
"Sir, you see... the prisoner Jin Da... seems to be a little weak. How about getting some shade?" A North Korean officer accompanied him and suggested in a low voice to a North Korean general on horseback.
The only person in the North Korean army who rode a horse was, of course, Marshal Jin Zidian of North Korea. After hearing this, he glanced at Jin Sangxian in the prison car and sneered: "You are stubborn and deserve to die!"
After saying this, he found that his subordinate seemed a little abnormal, so he became a little angry, and shouted coldly: "What, did I say something wrong? The Qing Dynasty is at its peak, but it is as stubborn as this golden man. Ling, clinging to the Ming Dynasty, is why the Qing Dynasty sent troops to North Korea again and again. He himself wants to gain a reputation and is not afraid of death, but what about us? Hmm? What about you? "
This North Korean officer was able to talk to Jin Zidian, so he was naturally one of his closest confidants and people with a good relationship.
However, Kim Sang-hyun's reputation in North Korea is indeed good. At least he is not afraid of death and has no fear of the Manchus. This compares to many others. No matter what, North Korea is also deeply influenced by Confucian culture. When it comes to integrity, although they may not be able to do it, most people agree with it.
At this time, after hearing that Jin Zidian forced him to express his position, the North Korean officer quickly apologized and said with a smile: "That's not what I meant. I was thinking that if this Jin... prisoner died on the way, there would be no one on the other side of the dragon bone." If Fa and Shengjing are on business, you might be blamed."
The keel is big, which is what the Koreans call Ying Erdai.
After Jin Zidian heard what he said, it made sense after thinking about it, so he pointed at the prison car and wanted to tell him to do it. However, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he immediately retracted it, turned the horse's head, and headed towards Ying Erdai behind.
Before he arrived, he quickly dismounted, then with a smile on his face, he conveyed to Inoerdai what his men had just said.
In this regard, Ying Erdai didn't care, nodded and agreed.
When Jin Zidian saw it, he waved his hand to the men who followed him. As for himself, he carefully accompanied Ying Erdai.
"That's Iron Mountain over there, right? It's close to Phi Island?" Ying Erdai was also bored, pointing to his left side with his hand, and seemed to see the island through the mountain tops.
After hearing this, Jin Zidian quickly nodded with an apologetic smile and said: "Your Excellency is really wise. That direction is Pi Island, but the name of Pi Island was changed when the Ming army occupied it. Now our court has changed its name back to Chudao."
Hearing this, Ying Erdai seemed to think of something, frowned slightly and said: "There are patrols on the seaside. Be sure to be more vigilant. There are also Napi Island... Chu Island. Someone needs to go and see it. It can be destroyed." , it’s best to destroy them all and not allow them to be occupied by the Ming army again!”
According to his estimation, the Ming army should still be in Jinzhou at this time. However, he believed that since the Ming army had crossed the sea, they would definitely retake Pi Island.
He was a little worried about this. The Ming army obviously had an advantage at sea again, which was very detrimental to the Qing Dynasty!
When Jin Zidian heard this, he nodded quickly and said: "The Ming army had an absolute advantage last time, but under the joint attack of the Qing Dynasty and North Korea, they were completely defeated. Even if the Ming army comes again this time, they can still be wiped out!"
In the ten-year Pidao naval battle of Chongzhen, before the war started, they had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength, warships, firearms, and morale. At the beginning, everyone thought that this time the Battle of Pidao would be as complete as the Battle of Pidao in the fourth year of Chongzhen, which would completely defeat Jianlu.
The result was naturally beyond everyone's expectations. In this battle, the Qing army paid the price of 260 killed; the Ming army lost tens of thousands of people. You must know that this was a naval battle to seize the island, and the Ming army was the main defender. Jianlu, who knows the water, mainly attacks.
Therefore, in everyone's impression, the Ming army is completely rotten!
