The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 99 Fatty Meat
Jinzhou Shi Nai was in a state of desperation.

Western Liaoning recruited 10,000+ new soldiers, half of which were distributed to Beizhen. Now there are less than [-] soldiers in Guangning, and most of them are recruits.

There are only veterans and veterans in Beizhen, but he doesn't have any here.

It turns out that Liaodong Dusi controls more than [-]% of the battalions, Beizhen has less than [-]% of the battalions, and there is no battalion in the Liaoxi Corridor.

The fall of the Liaodong capital had too many consequences.

Saerhu and Shenliao were defeated twice, and all the elite soldiers in the whole country of the Great Zhou were exhausted, so there were no elite soldiers left.

If Beizhen is not protected, Shi Nai is considering giving up the Liaoxi Corridor and retreating back to Shanhaiguan.

The more than [-] recruits are already sergeants who have exhausted their strength in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the [-] recruits in western Liaoning are related to the Great Zhou Sheji.

Liaodong can be abandoned, and Shanhaiguan will never be lost. Shanhaiguan is related to the safety of the capital. If the barbarians take advantage of the situation and seize Shanhaiguan.

As a result, Da Zhou had to consider moving the capital to the south.

So Shi Nai didn't have the idea of ​​using these [-] recruits to support Beizhen. He gave everything that should be given to Beizhen, and he couldn't give what he couldn't.

The Donghai Camp established in the west of Liaoxi with hundreds of people went out to sea and recovered Jinzhou, which can be regarded as Shi Nai's credit.

This is also the reason why he can ignore the memorials attacking him in the court at present.

Now that we can't wait for reinforcements from Mongolia, we are looking forward to Jinzhou soldiers.

Shi Nai rejoiced in his heart, thanks to the fact that he listened to Jia Jing's words and gave his full support to this son, that's why he is looking forward to today.

Ye Er came several ways, I only went all the way.

The old slave is really powerful. From this sentence, it can be seen that his military accomplishment is not ordinary. It is definitely not just luck that he can achieve what he is today.

Tang Qing'an knew his talent, so he really couldn't stand against him.

However, he can learn, and he can stand on the shoulders of his predecessors to see the way. After experiencing the era of information explosion, his vision is actually very broad.

At least he knew about landing battles, and the old slave had never fought a naval battle in his life.

What he knew about the sea was that the sea in the north of Liaozuo was frozen, and he even sent cavalry to fight across the ice.

This is his shortcoming, the weakness caused by his lack of life experience in this aspect.

There were [-] soldiers in Fuzhou City, Tang Qing'an knew he couldn't move, and didn't want to waste his strength.

Seventeen thousand people were recruited from the military household Yu Ding, and the applicants were extremely enthusiastic.

Because being a soldier eats food and gets paid, it is the best job in Jinzhou.

This time, in addition to the double expansion of the original Donghai Battalion, the recruitment of 4000 people has reached 9000 people. Li Shenghu led the first battalion of 3000 people, Chen Kaiwu led the first battalion of 3000 people, and the second brother Liu Chengmin led the first battalion of 3000 people.

Another military battalion with 500 soldiers was set up, and Zhang Bo, the sentry officer, was promoted to general manager. He was originally the tenth captain of the Donghai Battalion.

The second battalion was newly established, with Liao people who had previously made meritorious service as military attaches, and the two battalions had another 6000 people.

In this way, it is in the early [-]s.

It turned out that the battalions of Fuzhou and Jinzhou recruited 7000 people to supplement the soldiers who were killed and wounded in the previous period, and to use the vacancies after the formation of cavalry.

Among the original Jinzhou soldiers, many cavalry soldiers who were disabled by various ministries were reorganized, and 2000 people established a cavalry battalion.

Originally Jinzhou had less than [-] war horses, and Beizhen sent [-] horses, but only [-] horses could be used as war horses. The total of [-] war horses is far from enough.

But the shelf is set up first, and the vacancy of the horse is filled slowly.

It is indeed too extravagant to waste cavalry without horses on infantry.

These people were all cavalry from various places in Liaozuo, and most of them are skilled in riding and have a few brushes if they can survive to the present.

Huayan, Deng Xing, Yang Qing, Li Bosheng, and Li Qi were the vanguards, each commanding 1000 men.

Zhao Gouyong served as a general on the left, leading 3000 people from the Liao private camp.

Xu Shoufu was a guerrilla general on the right, leading 3000 people in the Liao private camp.

Tang Qing'an was the commander in chief of the Chinese army, led the personal guard battalion, and led Li Shenghu and Liu Chengmin's second battalion, with a total of 500 people.

Later, Peng Dahai and Guo Yingling led a total of 2000 people.

The whole army totaled 500 people.

Yan Zhengzhong, the captain of the navy, led generals such as Li Er and Gou Er to lead 3000 sailors and [-] large and small warships to carry the army northward.

The city defense of Jinzhou was handed over to Feng Shengzhi for the military preparation of Jinzhou, and the rear Lushun city defense was handed over to Gu Yingshi for the military preparation of Lushun.

Chen Kaiwu led a battalion of 6000 people, and the rest of the general posts, a total of 4000 people guarded Jinzhou City, and [-] people strictly guarded the forts.

After arranging everything properly, Tang Qing'an paid homage to Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi.

"The safety of Jinzhou is in the hands of the two of you."

"The city of Jinzhou is so strong that it cannot be captured by thousands of barbarians from Fuzhou. Generals such as Chen Qianzong are serving. The general has no worries about the rear. We wish the general a victory and a triumphant return."

On the pier, a group of officials saw him off. Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi were currently the highest-ranking civil officials in Jinzhou.

Moreover, from the beginning of Changxing Island to farm, all affairs, big and small, were handled by them. The prestige among the people of Jinzhou, except for the general, was the two of them.

"So good."

All the ministries have already boarded the ship, Tang Qing'an bid farewell to all the people here, and led the generals to board the ship.

2 people crossed the sea and fought.

This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

It took two hours for such a huge fleet to completely disappear at the sea line.

Gu Yingshi couldn't help stepping on his feet to look around, but he couldn't see him anymore, so he dropped his heels and sighed.

"What? I have confidence in Jinzhou, don't you have confidence in Lushun?"

"I'm not worried about us, I'm worried about the general."

The two chatted quietly.

Throughout Jinzhou, although the general didn't show it, people like them knew that the general trusted two kinds of people the most.

One is people from the Donghai Camp, who were originally from Guangning, and were taken out to sea by the general, so both sides trust each other very much.

The second is the people who originally developed Changxing Island.

Fortunately, they are among this group of people.

The friendship formed through thick and thin in a desperate situation is not comparable to ordinary feelings, although it has only been less than a year.

Whether it's because of interests or feelings, they are all closely united under the banner of the general.

I hope that under the leadership of the general, Liaodong will be restored, and with this outstanding contribution, they will each ascend to the position of minister.

Both Feng Shengzhi and Gu Yingshi are juren, but they are actually middle-aged.

It is actually because of the general's courage to do things that he can achieve this level now.The promotion to a mid-level civil servant was also due to the recommendation of the general.

In the current Great Zhou, the two of them have reached this point with Juren's background, which is really rare.

If it was in the past, they would not even dare to think about it.

Now, their ambitions no longer stop there.

If the general has a complete foothold in Liaozuo and regains one or two prefectures, wouldn't they be able to raise their boats again, like a big river and a small river.

How could they not understand this truth?

For the same reason, everyone in Jinzhou is looking forward to the general's meritorious service so that he can share the credit.

Tang Qing'an didn't know the expectations of the people behind him, but felt the pressure coming from the boundless sea.

time is too short.

The rapid expansion of the army has only been organized for less than a month. If it is really a fight with the barbarians with live ammunition, the combat power will definitely not be the opponent.

The landing battle is not so easy either.

With 2 warships and [-] people scrambling to cross the beach, this feat of operation was not easily accomplished.

The army is not ready.

……

All things considered, they are not perfect.

As far as crossing the sea is concerned, if he is given an extra three months to train the army to land several times and accumulate some experience, he will be more confident.

It's just that time is running out.

Tang Qing'an didn't dare to bet whether Beizhen would repel the barbarians without his support.

It is really the shadow of a famous tree.

However, all the old slaves have personally ruled the army, and they have not been defeated so far.

In fact, Beizhen is lost, and there is also the Liaoxi Corridor. The fear is that the army will be defeated like a mountain, just like the history of the previous life.

If it weren't for Yuan Chonghuan, who defended Ningyuan and kept half of the Liaoxi Corridor, the entire Liaodong would have completely fallen into the hands of the barbarians.

Or maybe he didn't have to worry so much before he won Golden State.

It's a big deal to return to the sea.

But Jinzhou now has more than [-] people, and everyone is talking about General Tang.

His prestige in Jinzhou is unparalleled, clearing up fields everywhere, and reforming the military system did not cause a big backlash. Could it be his ability?

of course not.

People look at him.

Will Zhao Houyong have no complaints about him expanding the strength of his cronies while ignoring the rest of his troops?
Didn't the Jinzhou collateral generals see it?
This is all the work of more than [-] people in Jinzhou.

With the prestige established by more than [-] people in Jinzhou, Tang Qing'an can easily mobilize Zhao Gouyong to rectify various malpractices in the army.

So he had to save Beizhen. .

If Beizhen is lost, western Liaoning will be lost, and if western Liaoning is lost, Jinzhou will be in danger.

Whether it was for himself or to live up to the more than [-] people, Tang Qing'an had to choose to go north at this moment.

[-] sergeants and [-] ships, they don't know the situation on the land, and the land doesn't know that there is a large army coming.

Guarding the Sancha River, Haizhouwei is in the north and Gaizhouwei is in the south.

There is a sergeant of Tang Qing'an on Lianyun Island outside Gaizhouwei.

Liu Tong, the former junior officer of the Donghai Battalion, made great contributions to stationing Lianyun Island. He not only resettled thousands of refugees, but also expanded the army by five hundred. His ability was fully demonstrated, and he was promoted to general manager.

He took the boat sent by Tang Qing'an, went to sea and saw the huge fleet, he was amazed.

The general's strength really changes day by day.

At the same time, he had a look of excitement, fortunately he was lucky enough to follow the general, and in a short period of time, he became the commander in chief with five hundred soldiers in his hand.

Lianyun Island was not far from the land, so Tang Qing'an sent a boat to fetch Liu Tong in order not to alarm the barbarians on the land and cause the news to leak.

This person has been stationed on Lianyun Island for several months, and knows the situation here better than anyone else, so he wants to see and understand the military situation on land.

"The Gaizhou Guard has only [-] soldiers. Because there are [-] soldiers from Fuzhou in front, they are not too defensive. However, the subordinates suggest that the general should not attack Gaizhou, but go straight to Haizhou Guard."

Liu Tong said excitedly.

"Haizhouwei is an important city where the old slave army gathers food and resources. There are countless fodder and food, armor and weapons, and artisan horses in the city.

If we can capture this city, it will not only cut off the logistics of the barbarians, but also allow us to obtain countless supplies, please see, General. "

Liu Tong pointed at the map and paddled excitedly.
