I'm a big dick

Chapter 77
On February [-]th of the second year of Tianqi, Shen Yourong led the troops from the town to recover Changsheng Island and Xizhong Island, and made tentative landings at the South and North Xinkou, pretending to attack and restore the state.

On February [-]th of the second year of Tianqi, in addition to cruising along the southern coast of Youtunwei to show aid, the Tianjin Navy divided up a part of its troops and reoccupied Donghai Fort (belonging to Youtunwei, Guangning, now Southeast Donghai Beach, Linghai City, Liaoning).

Although Donghai Fort was voluntarily abandoned by the Ming army, and there were no slaves guarding it, and the Ming army who occupied the fort just raised a banner and boarded the ship before the slaves arrived, but it played a role in restraining the Jin army after the Youtunwei City. role.

On February [-]th of the second year of Tianqi, Shen Yourong led his army to break into Pulandian Bay at night, landed a surprise attack, and occupied Shiheyi.In the next day, the officers and soldiers of Dengzhen burned all the surrounding villages and towns, relocated thousands of people, and boarded the ship.

On February [-]th of the second year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang Army to occupy Hongzui Fort again, another round of demolition of villages and relocation of residents, and tacit cooperation with Dengzhen one east and one west, so that the slaves of Jinzhou and Fuzhou paid attention to one thing and lost another.

On February 22, the second year of Tianqi, Dengzhen soldiers and horses acted together with the Dongjiang army, landing on the east and west sides at the same time, and besieged Nanguan.

Nanguan, also known as Nanguanling and South Guam, is located in the narrowest part of the Liaodong Peninsula, with the sea on both sides of the east and west, only more than ten miles apart.

Historically, Zhang Pan, the general of the Dongjiang Army, once occupied Lushun, and once made a memorial to open the river.It is to dig deep ditches and wide trenches in the narrowest place in South Guam, divert sea water for self-reinforcing, and set up piers for defense.

There were only two hundred slave soldiers in Nanguan. Seeing that thousands of Ming troops were aggressive, they did not dare to defend the city. They fled to Jinzhou in panic, and Nanguan was restored.

After occupying Nanguan, taking advantage of the cold weather, thousands of Ming soldiers cut wood and erected fences, poured water to build ice, and built a wall of more than ten miles in two days, completely cutting off the retreat of Jinzhou Jiannu.

On February 25, the second year of Tianqi, the Tianjin navy received a report and came to help. The three Ming armies had reached 1000, so they went south to surround Jinzhou and besieged the city guarded by more than [-] enemies.

So far, from raids to sieges, the Ming army took advantage of the large number of ships on the sea, and also took advantage of the weakness of the main force of the Hou Jin army to guard the emptiness, and began the biggest siege since the rise of the slaves and the Ming army's repeated defeats. fight.

………………

Qianqing Palace, inside the Imperial Study Room.

Zhang Yu'er looked at the young emperor playing in a daze, not knowing why the emperor was smoking these two days.

But seeing Zhu Youxiao holding Xiaobai in his hand, he put it on his head for a while, stared at it affectionately while holding the two little claws, and put the cat on his back again, and put the two little claws on his shoulders superior.

On the one hand, there are all kinds of strange shapes and actions, and on the other hand, he closes his eyes from time to time, muttering words, and looks like he is talking.

Fly, fly, take me to fly, take me to pretend to be 13, fly with you on my back!

Zhu Youxiao finally gave up and let go of the cat who had a look of lovelessness and kept "meowing" protesting.

"Meow!" Xiaobai shook his head, glared at Zhu Youxiao with different pupils, jumped a few times, and fled into Zhang Yuer's arms.

"My lord, you - rest for a while?" Zhang Yu'er caressed the white lady with some distress, and smoothed the hair on her head and body.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, with a look of helplessness and disappointment on his face, he walked to the sand table and rubbed his chin to ponder.

For the fortresses and cities near the sea, such as the Liaodong Peninsula, the defense of the Houjin army was mostly lax. They also knew that there were so many fortresses along the coast that there were no troops stationed at all.

Historically, it didn't take much effort to recover Lushun, or even Jinzhou, and there were not many people in hand.Strictly speaking, it was the Hou Jin army who voluntarily gave up and took it without a fight.

Of course, now is not the time when Mr. Yuan has been running Denglai for several years, and the sea attack has shown great power, forcing Jiannu to retreat.

But from a partial point of view, the situation is quite favorable for the Ming army. More than 2 people besieged Jinzhou, and there were only a few hundred Jiannu and hundreds of Mongolian vassals defending the enemy, adding up to only a thousand people, and the chances of victory were great.

What is worrying is that the slaves of Fuzhou and Gaizhou came to the rescue, and there were only more than 2000 horses out of their nests. Relying on the ten-mile ice wall, could the Ming army resist it?

Zhu Youxiao turned his head and glanced at Xiaobai again, wishing to fly again!

There is no telephone or telegram, and it takes several days for the news to come and go, which is too slow.

Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao sighed, returned to the desk, took the memorabilia casually, read it for a while and then threw it down, and told the palace servants: "Let Liu Ruoyu come here."

It's not that I can't understand the memorial, it's just that there are no punctuation marks, it seems too much effort.

Before Liu Ruoyu came, someone from the palace reported that Zou Yuanbiao, the left servant of the official department, had come to see him.

Zhu Youxiao asked the palace people to see him, beckoned, and asked the palace people to move to Xiudun.

"The old minister kowtowed to my emperor, long live, long live, long live!" Zou Yuanbiao knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the hall.

"Zou Qing is free." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand on the throne and said, "Give me a seat."

Zou Yuanbiao kowtowed again, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

When Zou Yuanbiao sat down on the embroidered pier, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Zou Qing repeatedly asked to resign, but because of Zhu Tongmeng, Guo Yunhou, Guo Xingzhi and others' continuous impeachment?"

Zou Yuanbiao bowed and said: "The old minister is old and weak, and is no longer fit for use by the state. It is the above request to resign, and I hope Your Majesty will approve."

Zhu Youxiao pursed the corner of his mouth, Zou Yuanbiao didn't complain, he thought he was a gentleman.But he has already investigated clearly, the purpose of several people who criticized in a row.

Zou Yuanbiao, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, this year's job is to be in charge of the assessment of officials from other places, and next year will be the period of Beijing inspection. Guo Yunhou and others want to drive Zou Yuanbiao away because they are worried that it will be bad for them.

In addition, because he called on courtiers to eliminate family prejudice and help each other, some people wondered if he was old and exhausted.

There are even many people in Donglin who laugh at him at both ends.This was also one of the reasons why Zou Yuanbiao wanted to go.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Since Zou Qing is eager to ask, I will agree."

"The old minister thanked His Majesty for his grace." Zou Yuanbiao knelt down and saluted, took out the memorial from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said: "The old minister can no longer serve your majesty like a dog and horse. Deep Sparse."

Zhu Youxiao signaled the palace staff to turn it over, opened it, looked at it, nodded and said: "Mr. Zou Qing is loyal to the country, I am very relieved." Then, he said: "The decree is to be given to Prince Zou Yuanbiao as a gift. The stagecoach returns home to be honored."

Zou Yuanbiao kowtowed to thank him, and stood up to leave.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zou Yuanbiao who disappeared outside the palace gate, and sighed softly.

Zou Yuanbiao, as one of the three emperors of Donglin, certainly did not expect that the Donglin Party, which is directly related to him, would become a civil society group that harmed the country.Only when you are old can you see clearly and feel harmonious, but you are already an old man in your seventies, and time is running out.
