The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 62 Arriving at Lushun
A few days later, Zaba woke up unexpectedly.

Daishan went to Zaba's house in person.

Both Ha Qisuo and Mei Ba blamed Zaba on this matter, but Zaba was indeed at fault, because it was his order to storm Xu Dabao, and after Huang Taiji knew about it, he wanted to kill Zaba.

Huang Taiji wanted to kill him, but he acted as his own brother-in-law.

Because he was preparing to attack the Ming Dynasty, Huang Taiji didn't want to cause extra troubles and cause internal discord, and finally demoted Zaba back to the Baijia soldiers.

Zaba was furious after hearing this: "After I was hit by an arrow, I asked Meiba and the others to attack again."

Dai Shan rolled his eyes at him, but his sister was by his side, so he had no choice but to comfort him: "We are going to the red flag, and we only have 25 bull records."

"You are too impulsive."

Zaba was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood Daishan's intentions.

He couldn't help but feel grief and indignation, if all of us Dajin Eight Banners want to preserve their strength, how can we defeat Daming?
He was really unwilling to reconcile, and finally said: "Forehead."

He usually doesn't dare to call Efu, but this time he will call brother-in-law, which is already obvious, and he has to say something very important.

Daishan looked at him seriously.

Zaba struggled to get up from the bed, knelt down, and said earnestly: "I have fought with the Ming army all my life, and I have seen Ming army guards, but Ding Yi is different."

"If you don't get rid of this person, it will definitely be a serious problem for my confidant in the future."

"I beg to lead troops and attack Xu Dabao again." Zaba said through gritted teeth.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Dai Shan's eyes. When will it be the turn of a little defender of the Ming army to be the confidant of Da Jin?

This Zhaba still can't do it, and he can't stand it after only one defeat.

"I understand, you take good care of your wounds, I have my own opinion." Daishan dealt with it casually, and left with Sister Zaba.

Zaba looked at his coping expression, knowing that his words would have no effect at all.

He sat on the head of the bed in disappointment, his face pale.

On May [-]th, Yuan Chonghuan went out to sea from Ningyuan. When he left, he also brought Shangfang's sword and reported it to the emperor. Chongzhen's reply was very flat: "Got it."

Maybe he really didn't expect Yuan Chonghuan to do something at that time.

On the afternoon of May [-], Ding Yi's boat also arrived in Lushun.

The current situation in Liaodong is not optimistic. Later Jin occupies most of Liaodong, and the Ming army only occupies a few castles and islands along the coast.

And Lushun is connected to Denglai Haiphong in the south, defends the Beijing-Tianjin gateway in the west, connects with foreign aid to North Korea in the east, and defends Houjin in the north, which has an extremely important strategic position for the Ming Dynasty.

For Hou Jin, as long as Lushun can be captured, the worries of entering the customs can be relieved, so this is a strategic point that both sides must compete for.

From 1621 to 1625, Houjin soldiers attacked Lushun three times. The first two times failed, and only the third time (1625) attacked Lushun with [-] elite soldiers, and finally defeated the Ming army.

Guard Zhang Pan and his subordinates were all killed.

But Mao Wenlong was in Phi Island at that time, and the later Jin army had no water army, fearing that Mao would attack his side and back, and after looting his property, he destroyed the city wall and retreated.

After the construction of the Ming army in the past few years, Lushun has regained its former vigor.

The place where Ding Yi landed is Shuangdao, which is [-] miles by land and [-] miles by water from Lushunkou.

Stationed here is Lushun guerrilla Mao Yongyi.

The pier here is relatively simple, and at most two ships can be docked at the same time.

Ding Yi's Ningyuan docked first, and from a distance, he saw many Ming soldiers standing upside down on the shore, and some Ming soldiers even sat on the ground.

These Ming soldiers were ragged and haggard, looking like refugees.

Seeing a boat entering the alley, many Ming soldiers got up one after another, looked at the boat, and pointed.

Song Fei and the others were standing behind Ding Yi at this moment. When everyone saw the Dongjiang Army and then looked at themselves, they couldn't help laughing.

"Now we are like an official army." Song Fei smiled triumphantly.

After their defeat this time, the Golden Army got countless armors, almost everyone got at least one set of cotton armor, and many generals got chain armor and even iron armor.

These soldiers under Ding Yi's hands are now changing from shotguns to cannons, and after fighting a bloody battle, their spirits and spirits are different. Wearing armor, they look like elite soldiers.

Comparing the Dongjiang army now, Ding Yi's side is like an elite officer army, while the Dongjiang army is like refugees.

Ding Yi ignored Song Fei, because he was a little seasick, and there were a small number of officers and soldiers on board who were also seasick, and some of them must have been on a boat for the first time.

If Ding Yi had three ships in his hands, all the soldiers would definitely go to sea in turn to hone their skills.

He turned his head and said slowly: "Let the seasick brother go down first."

"promise."

When the boat touched the shore, Ding Yi's soldiers and horses rushed down in a panic. Everyone rushed to threaten them first, and Zhang Jing and others couldn't scream.

Ding Yi watched and shook his head, just wanting to stabilize as soon as possible so that he can train well.

When he got off the boat, there was already a Dongjiang soldier in his 30s waiting for him with a few personal servants beside the boat.

The two sides will meet soon.

This man is Mao Xin, a general of the Lushun guerrilla Mao Yongyi, and he is a general.

Ding Yi is on defense, and the opponent is Qian Zong, who is about the same level.

"Ding Shoubei, I was ordered to come to meet you. Your barracks have been prepared. You will be temporarily stationed in the camp on the east side of Shuangdao. Our Dongjiang is simple and the conditions are not good. Please bear with me, Ding Shoubei."

This person spoke in a polite manner, but his expression was repulsive, obviously a bit repulsive to Ding Yi.

Especially his soldiers, they were very annoyed when they saw Ding Yi's armor, almost all of them were equipped with elite weapons.

Everyone is an officer and soldier of Ming Dynasty, why do you look like the elite of the Beijing camp, and we are like refugees?

Without saying a word, Ding Yi stepped forward and hugged Mao Xin's shoulder, and whispered as he walked in.

"Brother Mao, you are being polite. We are the ones who disturbed Dong Jiang's brothers, but the military orders are like mountains, and we will obey orders."

Mao Xin was not used to being hugged by him, but he couldn't help it, and followed him while walking and listening.

Just as he was about to struggle out, he suddenly saw Ding Yi stuffing his arms into his arms.

Damn, Mao Xin stared with disbelief.

Ordinarily, Ding Yi came with Governor Yuan, and he was regarded as a superior officer. Generally speaking, the generals below are not as good as flattering them. There are people like Ding Yi who give them money.

Immediately, he didn't struggle anymore, only felt that Ding Yi's hug was tighter.

"We are new here, and we are not familiar with Lushun. If there is any impoliteness in the future, Brother Mao, please forgive me."

Mao Xin didn't know a single Chinese character, but he saw clearly just now that it was at least fifty silver notes.

I saw him grinning loudly: "Brother Ding said that he is all brothers and sisters. They should support each other. After you return to the camp, see if you need anything else. Tell brother, I will arrange it immediately."

"Brother Mao, are you free tonight, call some brothers and have a drink together?" Ding Yi said simply.

"Okay." Mao Xin almost said yes, and swallowed the words: "This is on duty today, let's make an appointment later."

He rolled his eyes, Dushi Yuan and Marshal Mao did not get along, everyone knew that he dared to drink with Ding Yi in private.

"Okay, then let's make an appointment another day." Ding Yi looked back at Zhao Dashan.

Zhao Dashan was holding a delicate cotton armor in his hand.

"We met for the first time. It's a small matter. It's not a respect. Brother Mao. I hope to have the opportunity to kill Tartars with you in the future." Ding Yi handed the cotton armor to him.

"This, this—how embarrassing this is." Mao Xin couldn't help laughing, and put away the cotton armor with great enthusiasm.

The Hou Jin Army had a workshop dozens of miles long in Shengjing, and each piece of cotton armor was carefully crafted, even better than the cotton armor of the Ming Dynasty.

The more he looked at Ding Yi, the more pleasing to his eyes, but he was not very talkative, so he patted Ding Yi's shoulder heavily: "Good brother."

The two looked at each other and laughed.

When they parted, Song Fei, Zhao Dashan, Zhang Jing and Ding Yi followed, bowed their heads and cupped their fists: "Mr. Mao Qian, go slowly."

Mao Xin laughed out loud, and not long after he left, he turned around and scolded the followers around him: "You idiots, look at Brother Ding's servant, and you don't know how to say hello to Ding Shoubei, I've lost all my face."

The servants looked at each other, and those who were scolded did not dare to hum.

It wasn't until Ding Yi rushed to the camp on the east side of Shuangdao with his troops that he realized how simple this place was.

"Damn it, the cotton jacket was given away for nothing." Sein Fei cursed.

There are barracks here, not a whole house.

The ground is full of weeds, and there are many trees around. There are stretches of open space in the east and west. If you look around, there are more than a dozen mud houses within a few hundred meters, and most of them have collapsed.

If it's raining, it's impossible to live here.

Ding Yi looked at it with a big head, but there was nothing he could do right now.

Fortunately, there were trees on the spot, so they immediately asked people to cut down the trees, build fences, and enclose the camp first.

Fortunately, in less than half an hour, two teams of Dongjiang soldiers came over and pushed several carts of supplies.

The leader said that it was sent by Mao Xin.

When everyone saw that they were simple tents, they couldn't help being overjoyed.

"Damn it." Sein Fei had no choice but to accept, "Master Ding is always right every time he gives money."

All the generals are convinced.
