Ming Zuo

Chapter 649
Dorgon waited for a month in Muhewei, and finally waited for Huang Taiji's emissary.

"The Great Khan has an order. Moergen Daiqing should lead his troops westward to check the grassland situation. No matter what, these blond barbarians cannot be allowed to invade our Dajin land."

For the Cossacks who appeared, Huang Taiji had a clear attitude.

We must fight back resolutely, and do not allow any accidents in Houjin's rear.

Based on Dorgon's understanding of Huang Taiji, he guessed it would be so.

But he also had doubts.

"What about searching for Mangultai?"

"The Great Khan said that if you can't find it until August, you can return to Mergendaiqing."

Dorgon couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Is something important happening in Liaodong?"

The messenger told each other.

"The spies reported that the Ming army in Lushun seems to have changed people and is building a fortress. The Great Khan decided to send his troops to pull out the nails of the Ming people in Liaodong no matter what."

Huang Taiji finally found out that Lushun's situation was wrong.

Although the Jinzhou Guard dispatched a lot of soldiers and horses, after the weather warmed up, Houjin still sent scouts to investigate in the direction of Lushun.

After this period, Jin has been victorious on the battlefield, so although there are not many soldiers, the Jurchens are still bold, and they don't think that the Ming army in Lushun can do anything to them.

But this time they miscalculated.

The Ming army in Lushun was replaced by the new army in Shandong.

The level of scouts of the new army is far from comparable to that of the old, weak, sick and disabled of the Ming army.

The scouts sent by Hou Jin only ran back more than [-] people, and most of the rest were damaged.

However, the people who came back still found out about Lushun's situation.

The Golden State guard at this time will be Ye Keshu, the third and fifth assistant leader of Zhenghongqi.

This man is brave and good at fighting, and his literature and politics are extraordinary.

Knowing the situation from the scouts, Ye Keshu keenly sensed something was wrong.

After much deliberation, he decided to check it out himself.

Taking advantage of one night, Ye Keshu led his personal guards and sneaked under the guard post of the new army.

Because of the darkness of the night, the new army did not find it.

Seeing that the new army actually built a tall, majestic and extremely strong city wall on the official road from Jinzhouwei to Lushun, Ye Keshu's scalp became numb.

After returning, Xingyue sent an urgent report to Shenyang.

Huang Taiji had already decided to attack Lushun.

Today's Hou Jin has occupied the entire Liaodong region, compressing the power of the Ming Dynasty in the Liaoxi Corridor.

If Lushun is resolved, there will be no worries, and the deployment of troops will be more calm.

It was just that he was seriously injured by the plan of Wu Jiang and others, and then Dorgon led two white flags to pursue Mang Gurtai, but it was postponed.

Knowing that Lushun's "Ming Army" is actively preparing for battle, let him know that he can't wait any longer.

But today's Hou Jin's family is not rich, and they have already emptied their pockets in order to support the two white flags.

Even if Huang Taiji wanted to attack Lushun, he would have to wait for the two white flags to come back before he could have enough food and grass to conquer Lushun.

However, preparations in advance, Huang Taiji has already started planning.

The scouts also quickly reported to Yu Lichun and Geng Wanrong about the confrontation with Hou Jin's scouts.

These two are also veterans on the battlefield, and they immediately realized the strangeness.

Yu Lichun made a prompt decision and dispatched scouts to Jinzhouwei.

"According to the scouts, there have been soldiers and horses entering the city from the Jinzhou Guard in recent days. In total, there may not be three thousand people. Moreover, the soldiers and horses who entered the city were not the original squad that left at the beginning, and some of them were even white-armored soldiers. .”

Geng Wanrong quickly made a judgment.

"We are the only ones around Jinzhouwei. At this time, soldiers and horses are coming, and they are probably targeting us."

The battle was approaching, but Yu Lichun was not nervous, on the contrary, he was gearing up and excited.

"We were thousands of miles away in the battle to wipe out Dongjiang Town, so we just watched others make meritorious deeds. This time, let's fight the Tartars and let them be greedy."

As a political commissar, Geng Wanrong always remained calm.

"Don't underestimate the enemy. I am afraid that Huang Taiji will come in person, and the army will gather. With the strength of our brigade, it will be difficult to deal with it."

Yu Lichun is not an arrogant person who underestimates the enemy.

"Then report to the High Command immediately."

After receiving the abnormal military situation in Lushun, Zuo Menggeng immediately convened a military meeting.

"Now all the ministries are undergoing training, and they are temporarily unable to participate in the battle. The battle on Lushun land can only rely on the Northward Advance Detachment itself. But we are not just watching, we can relieve the pressure on the Northward Advance Detachment from other directions."

Zuo Menggeng pointed a certain position on the map with his baton.

"Once the Jurchens attack Lushun, your naval fleet will attack Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei, resulting in a situation of cutting off the Jurchens' back."

Liu Yiyuan added: "You can bring the Marine Corps with you to practice cross-sea landing operations on the spot."

Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei are in the north of Jinzhouwei. Together with Haizhouwei in the north, there is an official road connected to Liaoyang.

Once the Jurchens concentrate their forces to attack Lushun and the navy launches an attack on Fuzhouwei and Gaizhouwei, the Jurchens will definitely worry about being cut off.

At that time, the pressure on Lushun will definitely be reduced, and the difficulty of defense will be greatly reduced.

Zuo Dai also has ideas.

"I suggest sending all the latest batch of rocket launchers to Lushun. With such a sharp weapon, I don't believe that the Jurchens can break through our reinforced concrete defense line."

Everyone laughed.

As for the power of the rocket launcher, everyone has already engraved it in their hearts through actual combat.

The effect created by this thing is really terrifying for people of this era.

As long as it is covered by rockets, no matter how many people there are, there will be no casualties.

The Houjin population is limited, if they cause a major damage to them, it is guaranteed that they will retreat in spite of difficulties.

"In addition, two more militia regiments will be transferred to strengthen the strength of the advance detachment going north, which can also be regarded as training for the subsequent expansion of the army."

Although the new army had just expanded to four armies with [-] troops, the pace of expansion did not stop.

In the future, if you want to unify the world and set foot in the whole world, you will need unlimited troops.

Therefore, Shandong has never stopped preparing for the reserve service.

These reserves exist in the name of the militia and have undergone basic military training.

As long as it is transformed into a regular army, equipped with corresponding weapons and equipment, and after a period of intensive training, it will be a real army.

War is about to break out in Lushun, and the transfer of two militia regiments to participate in the battle is very effective for tempering the militia.

In a short meeting, regarding the deployment of the Liaodong war, Shandong has already arranged in detail.

But in terms of Houjin, Huang Taiji's deployment has just begun, and there are still several months before the trip can take place.

The efficiency of both sides is no longer on the same level.

This is the difference between a regime that has just stepped into feudal society and a regime that has begun to industrialize.

As for the final result on the battlefield, it is just a concrete withdrawal of this gap.
