Chapter 712 The Influence of Digging the Yellow River (Second Change)

The Liaodong Peninsula and surrounding islands have long been in the rear far away from the battlefield.

After the fall of Liaoshen, some of the officers and troops staying in the Southern Guard of the Ming Dynasty surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, and most of them took their families and sailed to Shandong, or lived on various islands.

In just a few months, the fourteenth guards in Hedong were all slaves.

Later Jin occupied the Liaodong Peninsula and the coastal islands, which posed a new threat to Ming Dynasty. The peninsula was inserted into the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea like a Qizi.

Its southernmost point faces Denglai, Shandong across the sea, and leads directly to Tianjin in the northwest. Tianjin is close to the division, which is actually a throat.

There are two main ways for the Ming Dynasty to transport troops to Liaodong. One is to go out of Shanhaiguan and enter Liaodong through Liaoxi, and the other is to reach Jinzhou, Gaizhou, and Lushun by sea via Deng, Lai, or Tianjin.

Sea transportation is much less variable than land transportation, which can save the people the trouble of smooth transportation and save a lot of money.

Shandong, Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces communicate with Liaodong mostly by sea.

Later Jin's attack from the sea made the court more panic than the attack from Shanhaiguan.

It takes only three days from Gaizhou to Dengzhou, and only half a day from Lushun to Dengzhou.

Therefore, after the Dengzhou rebellion, Sun Yuanhua was ordered to be chopped down by Chongzhen when he arrived in Tianjin before he was escorted into Beijing.

Even though Xiong Tingbi was passed on to the Nine Sides, Chongzhen is still implementing the arrangements made by Xiong Tingbi until now.

On land, use Shanhaiguan as the base camp, use Guangning as the main army, and at sea use Denglai crossing the sea as the surprise army.

Focusing on Guangning, the three parties confronted the Houjin army head-on, and Denglai as the flank, restraining Houjin's full-scale attack on Western Liaoning from behind.

Xiong Tingbi's idea was that Hou Jin would launch a large-scale war to the west of Liaoning, so he sent his troops to land on the Liaodong Peninsula from the sea, and took advantage of the emptiness behind to fight against Hou Jin together.

Under his auspices, the fugitive Liao people were recruited as soldiers. In the first year of Tianqi, Dengzhou received more than ten Liao people.

Tao Lang, the first governor of Dengzhou, organized [-] land and water divisions, [-] horses, more than [-] million armored weapons, and [-] warships within three months. Later, he continued to increase his troops to [-].

In the eyes of Chongzhen, with so many troops, Sun Yuanhua could still be beaten by the rebels, so he was killed directly without discussion.

After Mao Wenlong was beheaded by Yuan Chonghuan without asking for instructions, Dongjiang was in chaos one after another, and Dengzhou was in chaos again.

The courtiers had to admit that the Dongjiang Brigade originally planned to contain the Liao Dynasty by three parties.

With no situation to deploy in Liaodong, Xiong Tingbi established a maritime defense line centered on Denglai, Shandong, with Tianjin in the northwest, and a sea defense line connecting North Korea and North Korea. This was the only feasible strategy at the time.

Chongzhen was steadfast in implementing this strategy, and was delighted with Zhu Dadian's military actions, so he asked whether to appease or behead him.

In order to avoid nights and dreams, let's kill them all.

What are the rebels keeping!
If they don't kill them, they will be promoted and rewarded, which is what all soldiers in the world will do.

They must not be allowed to escape from the sea and go to Jian slaves.

Following Chongzhen's order, he flew to Denglai with the approval of besieging and killing Kong Youde and other rebels.

After thinking about it, Chongzhen decided to issue an imperial decree to the generals in Henan, telling them to quickly pacify Zijinliang and others, and enter Shanxi to encircle and suppress the high-ranking bandits and hammer bandits.

On Sandeng Mountain, Yang Jiamo was shivering wrapped in a blanket.

The tens of thousands of troops under his command were all wiped out by the Yellow River.

He was so frightened that he took the rest of his people to meet Cao Wenzhao near Xiangling, and with his protection, he could at least feel safer in his heart.

The power of the flood of the Yellow River will never be forgotten in a lifetime.

Yang Jiamo currently has no intention of going back to fight He Jinzhao, he feels that he is already careful enough.

He never thought that He Jinzhao would hold back such a big job. He drowned so many of his subordinates without a single soldier.

Cao Wenzhao looked at a group of dispirited remnants and defeated generals, and the degree of danger to He Jinzhao also increased by a level.

He used to think that He Jinzhao was able to get close to him by pretending to be Wang Chengyin, and he almost killed himself.

Seeing the miserable images of Yang Jiamo and others today, this son is really ruthless, he doesn't take human life seriously, and has the potential to be a hero.

"Cao Zongbing, I don't have the heart to fight for a short time." Yang Jiamo shook his head wrapped in a blanket, "I'm afraid I can't help you."

"Mr. Yang, if the Yellow River was not dug by the hammer bandits, it was a coincidence. Don't be afraid of him."

"What?" Yang Jiamo stared at him immediately and said:
"Everyone is at Mengmendu, but the Yellow River floods me instead of flooding him. Doesn't it mean that he is destined to do so?"

"The destiny is naturally in Daming."

"The Yellow River must have been dug by him!"

Cao Wenzhao didn't dare to continue the debate. The officers and soldiers would rather say that He Jinzhao's methods were cruel than that he was destiny.

He laughed and interrupted: "Mr. Yang, I will be the first to fight all the bandits in Shanxi.

As long as Governor Hong pulls the cannon, the intruders will surely be defeated. At that time, you will lead your brothers to ambush the fleeing intruders, and you will regain your confidence. "

Yang Jiamo nodded again and again, he would rather hit the intruder than the hammer bandit.

Cao Wenzhao laughed loudly, but he was really embarrassed.

Even the commander is afraid of the hammer bandits, let alone his soldiers, so he dare not say such words as revenge.

It was really hard for him to accept.

The Yellow River was flooded, and the morale of the officers and soldiers dropped a lot as soon as they could be seen. There was no word to calm down the thieves in Shanxi within a year.

Cao Wenzhao was more concerned about whether the defeated soldiers would flee directly if the hammer bandits took the opportunity to go south.

Once the army flees, it cannot be stopped at all. One person can take away ten or hundreds of people and escape, even if there are tens of thousands of troops, they will not be able to stop it.

"Mr. Yang, why don't you go to Hejin to recuperate and receive the artillery sent by Governor Hong?"

"No." Yang Jiamo nodded again and again: "I would rather be stationed on a high mountain than near the Yellow River."

Although Cao Wenzhao can mobilize the generals, he has no power, and most of the time he can only fight by himself without any cooperation.

"Let's cultivate for a few days first, and after a while, you will be stationed in Hejin to defend the rear of our army."

After Cao Wenzhao finished speaking, he left without waiting for Yang Jiamo's answer.

On the way, he met Sun Shoufa, a fierce general under his command, and saw that he looked like he was still alive after a catastrophe, not to speak.

How could ordinary people be able to contend with the power of the Yellow River?

Linfen County.

Chuang Wang Gao Yingxiang was shocked when he heard the report from his subordinates.

He never expected Brother He to be such a ruthless person who would dig up the Yellow River and drown tens of thousands of officers and soldiers without a single soldier.

Gao Yingen just sat there, not knowing what to say.

This kind of thing is really against the harmony of heaven, and it cannot be done by people who are not ruthless.

"Brother, should we leave Shanxi earlier?"

Hearing his younger brother's words, Gao Yingxiang couldn't help laughing: "I'm afraid, brother He will flood me?
Now that the officers and soldiers have suffered such a great defeat, they must not dare to fight me. "

"The matter of digging the Yellow River is too cruel in my opinion."

Gao Yingxiang waved his hand: "Didn't anyone dig rivers in wars since ancient times? He is far worse than Second Lord Guan who flooded the Seventh Army.

Based on what I know about Brother He, he will definitely take advantage of the victory and pursue it, and it's our turn to pinch the dog officer army! "
