Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 349 Dongjiang!Dongjiang!
"Whoa..."

"Whoa~"

The turbulent waves kept churning, and ships of different sizes galloped forward with the waves.

The sea wind is majestic, and the raised sails seem to be torn apart.

In the shaky cabin, there were various smells, and the lit candles illuminated the place.

"Ben Shuai emphasizes a little more."

Liu Xingzuo propped his hands on the wooden table, his torch-like eyes scanned everyone in the cabin, including Wallace, and said in a deep voice:

"Jianlu gathered heavy troops and even instigated various Mongolian ministries to accompany the army. Last year, he invaded the imperial court in an attempt to create chaos in Daming Pass, but was defeated by His Majesty's personal conquest.

In that battle, I, the Great Ming Athlete, how many Jian captives and how many Mongolian soldiers were killed, you all clearly understood in the edict issued by the Military Aircraft Department.

Regarding the Jianlu Eight Banners with very few core personnel, especially the hidden internal contradictions and hidden dangers, what I want to explain to you is that no matter how powerful Huang Taiji is.

It is absolutely impossible to lead the defeated army back under the rule of Liaodong without any internal problems. He even has to spend a lot of energy and time to appease the Jianlu Eight Banners.

So this time I took a boat across the sea and went to the Guanglu Island area to launch a sea raid on the Jinzhou Guard who had stolen possessions from Jianlu. Our Dongjiang Army has an absolute advantage! "

The group of generals headed by Liu Xingpei had bright eyes and clenched fists, feeling extremely excited deep in their hearts.

Since Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde, Mao Wenlong's adopted sons and grandsons, most of them were transferred away from Dongjiang Town by Emperor Chongzhen.

The entire Dongjiang Town has undergone a comprehensive adjustment and change after Liu Xingzuo was promoted to Chief Military Officer and took charge of Dongjiang Town.

An army is strictly prohibited from going out of many doors.

Especially in a special important town like Dongjiang Town, more attention should be paid to this point.

With the support of Emperor Chongzhen, Dongjiang Town was completely turned into a maritime military fortress, and all the idlers, etc., were all moved across the sea by boat and resettled under the rule of Beizhili.

And in this process, the Dongjiang Army under the command of Liu Xingzuo is scheduled to have [-] people, and this does not include the special Dongjiang Navy Battalion!

"General Liu, I don't quite understand."

Wallace frowned slightly, looked at Liu Xingzuo and said, "This time you led your troops to raid the Jinzhou Guard, which was stolen by Jianlu, why didn't you take the initiative to lure their navy out of port.

In this way, after arriving at sea, as long as the plan is proper, wouldn't it be easier for our army to raid Jinzhouwei after severely injuring the Jianlu Navy? "

"You said it lightly!"

Liu Xingpei's eyebrows turned upside down, seeing his elder brother's serious expression, he said to Wallace: "Do you know how big the Jianlu's navy in Jinzhouwei is?

Right now, the ships under my Dongjiang Army’s command are used to transport soldiers, and it’s okay. If we really fight Jianlu at sea, all the soldiers on the ship will be buried in the belly of fishes! "

Since the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty has continuously lost in the Liaodong battlefield. This made the military focus of the Ming Dynasty tilted to the various armies on land. On the contrary, it did not pay much attention to the construction of sea power.

Especially in these years, under the repeated blows of the Jianlu Eight Banners, the naval forces surrounding Juehua Island, the Denglai Navy, and even the Dongjiang Navy have suffered varying degrees of losses around the entire Liaodong waters.

Especially the great victory of Ningyuan, touted by Yuan Chonghuan, in this battle, Ningyuan City guarded by Daming, of course, was not captured by the Jianlu Eight Banners.

But Juehua Island suffered heavy losses, and even the navy was almost destroyed.

"Oh~ God."

Wallace couldn't help exclaiming when he heard the words: "I didn't expect that the Ming Dynasty, which has a long heritage, would have such a big problem in the construction of seagoing ships."

"Wallace, put away your shocked attitude."

Liu Xingzuo narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Wallace and said: "The main direction of my Ming Dynasty before was in Liaoqian, but now the overall strategy is changing.

You are with Governor Sun. Before you came to Dongjiang Town, you must have known that Denglai and Denglai are planning to build a shipyard, and you Western shipbuilders are hired among them.

Before long, my Ming Dynasty will be able to build a well-organized naval force in the Liaodong sea area.

But now, the commander-in-chief will tell you to take a look. Even if you can't fight the Jianlu navy at sea, you can still destroy the entire Jianlu navy if you break through the Jinzhou defense line! "

Being stared at by Liu Xingzuo's deep eyes, Wallace felt like he was being stared at by a lion.

The reason why he talked so much before was that he wanted to introduce Liu Xingzuo to some of their Portuguese shipwrights, so that he could also earn a handsome commission from them.

Obviously Liu Xingzuo and the others misinterpreted what Wallace meant.

"Everyone, it's all because of His Majesty's trust and reliance that you can become deputy commander-in-chief, generals, guerrilla generals, etc."

Liu Xingzuo, who ignored Wallace, scanned the generals in front of him with his shining eyes, and said coldly.

"Even before that, you all clearly understood that His Majesty attaches great importance to Dongjiang Town, including the heavy burdens he has placed on us.

His majesty even took out the food and salary that was deducted by the civil servants directly from the internal funds, and directly made up for us.

Dongjiang Town has been in order for some time now, eating the imperial rations of the Ming Dynasty, and receiving the military pay from His Majesty, tell me, can we be afraid of Jianlu? "

"cannot!!"

"cannot!!"

The deafening roar sounded in this small cabin, which made Wallace frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible, Liu Xingzuo's fanaticism.

Yes, as a foreigner, how could he understand the blood feud between Daming and Jianlu.

Especially in Dongjiang Town, most of the soldiers, even the generals, had a blood feud with Jianlu.

This is also the reason why Liu Xingzuo was able to integrate the entire Dongjiang Town at the fastest speed after Mao Chenglu and the others were transferred away by Emperor Chongzhen.

Daming fought against Jianlu for more than ten years in the land of Liaodong. Although most of the Daming frontier troops guarding the Liao Dynasty were unusable, they were just talking about slavery.

But Dongjiang Town, which is hanging out alone, presents another situation.

They are not afraid of Jianlu, and they are not afraid of war. Even if they are subjected to all kinds of harsh treatment, they still dare to attack Jianlu again and again under the leadership of Mao Wenlong.

Maybe Mao Wenlong is domineering and rebellious, but he does have a way of leading troops to fight.

It's a pity that he was killed by Yuan Chonghuan.

However, the military spirit he bestowed on the Dongjiang Army has been passed down. This is also destined that the Dongjiang Army will burst out with a different deterrent in the hands of Liu Xingzuo, who has a stable temperament.

After all, with the support of Emperor Chongzhen who was far away in the capital, what Liu Xingzuo had to do was to lead good soldiers to fight good battles, and just live up to the emperor's expectations.
