The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 315 Wolf's Nest Fort

On August [-]th, Song Pengfei led the troops who took down Yangguanbao to attack Jinzhou. Behind the team were [-] military servicemen and [-] Han men temporarily recruited.

More than a thousand wheelbarrows were loaded with military supplies, food, and many cans. The captured pigs and sheep were also led and rushed on the road. Of course, these things were brought to reward the three armies when they joined forces with Dongjiang Town, and also to allow all to participate in the war The soldiers and civilians have a happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

The people besieging Jinzhou don't need to push a wheelbarrow to walk two hundred miles to replenish supplies.

Because the brothers of the engineer battalion had already boarded the ship and rushed to the seashore closest to Jinzhou in a straight line, they were looking for waters where they could dock [-]-ton warships to build a port and build a strong castle, which will be permanently guarded.

Lushunkou is at the southernmost tip of the Liaodong Peninsula, and Jinzhou is about 170 miles away from Lushunkou, which happens to be at the narrowest part of the land.

Jinzhou City was built on the east coast, and Huang Han planned to build a military fortress on the west coast. They all named it "Wolf's Nest Castle", and it was less than twenty miles away from Jinzhou City.

Huang Han decided to give up Fuzhou City after looting it, but Huang Han did not intend to abandon the Jinzhou City that was about to be captured, because with Jinzhou Ding in front and the fortress to be built on the west coast, he could completely control Jinzhou City. The bottleneck area of ​​the state isthmus.

If the Jinzhou Isthmus can be guarded, the Lushunkou area will be completely controlled.

Jiannu has no navy, and they will be attacked by naval artillery when they attack Jinzhou and "Wolf's Nest Fort". The Ming army stationed at these two fortresses can receive continuous reinforcements and supplies from the sea, and they are almost invincible. place.

Yihong is a sophisticated way of using troops, so he shouldn't be so stupid as to use the few Eight Banners disciples here to fight the Ming army to the death.

The area from Jinzhou to Lushunkou in the south is close to that of Jeju Island. It belongs to the coastal hilly area formed by the remnants of Changbai Mountain. It is high in the east and low in the west.

Here has the characteristics of monsoon climate in the north temperate zone, with four distinct seasons, long winter and summer, short spring and autumn, abundant sunlight, moderate rainfall, humid and mild air, and can farm 10,000+ acres.

Vigorously developing the navy was the only way for Huang Han to station troops and people on the peninsula with its unique geographical location, which was suitable for both offense and defense. Moreover, this was the location of a famous military port in later generations.

Fuzhou is very close to the sea, so it is much easier to transport and seize than when Qingcheng was attacked. Now the temporary camp on the seaside of Fuzhou is piled up with supplies, and dozens of large ships have already sailed to the other shore full of seized goods.

Huxue Port is more than [-] nautical miles away from Fuzhou Port, which is temporarily used. The "Red Banner Army" water camp is very familiar with this sea area. It can travel day and night under calm conditions, so it can reach the destination on the same day.

Three days after Fuzhou City was captured, the first batch of captured and seized goods arrived at Huxue Port. The "Tigerxue" city was empty and the port was crowded with people. When they saw several old lock boats slowly berthing, the people immediately became commotion.

Immediately, the slogan "Ming army wins! Red flag army wins! General Huang wins!"

Because there was a clipper ship delivering military information, the news of Fuzhou's great victory was known to the soldiers and civilians in "Tiger Cave" City and Funingwei two days ago. Today, I heard that a large ship to deliver seized supplies is calling at the port, and tens of thousands are busy finishing the autumn harvest. The common people all came to watch the excitement.

Qin Yuyi, Zheng Xiu'e, and Chu Chu were all waiting for the ship to dock at the port, but they didn't expect to unload baskets of tanned human heads first.

Chu Chu turned pale with fright on the spot, and then vomited violently. Zheng Xiu'e had never seen such a horrific scene, her body trembled involuntarily, and her personal servant, Rou'er, fainted on the spot with a "Oh my god!"

Tianxiang, Hongxiu, and Cailian had personally handled dozens of corpses in the Bai family that were inhumanely abused by Jiannu, and they were all calm at this moment.

After seeing so many heads with money rat tails, Qin Yuyi realized what this meant?She immediately took the lead in cheering, and the female military officers Zuo Qin Rong, Ma Lanhua, and Ma Yuefeng were all happy to see their teeth but see their eyes.

Qin Rong raised her face and admonished the female soldiers under her command: "It's normal to kill people on the battlefield. Now I order you to check the heads of the slaves against the official documents of the victory. Those who can't bear it have to bear it. Everyone must do it."

Qin Yuyi's female soldiers are no longer a small four hundred, and now there are two soldiers with a total of nearly 800. She made up a total of female soldiers on the day Huang Han went to sea. These women are actually Qin Yuyi, Qin Rong, and Ma Lanhua. Just look at it.

When recruiting female soldiers, they found that there were too many good soldiers, so they paid attention to it, and took in hundreds of women to do labor and participate in training camps. It was easier for helpless women to find an organization to form a group.

Under the training of Qin Yuyi and Qin Rong, they are improving every day, and they all participate in management and labor during the busy farming season. Now many fair and clean female soldiers have been tanned.

When Qin Rong gave the order, none of the female soldiers frowned. They all stepped forward to count and help carry the heads, and almost none of them were uncomfortable.

It is not surprising that most of these selected women come from the poorest classes, and there are not many who can beat mice and catch snakes.

They have personally experienced the massacre by the Houjin army. They once saw their relatives and neighbors die beside them, and then they were tortured by Jiannu and Tartars. Now they are of course spiritually powerful, and the dead heads are not enough to scare them.

The onlookers saw thousands of harvests, and also saw a large amount of seized grain, cloth, clothes, and agricultural tools. Everyone was enthusiastic, "Killed so many Jiannu! Well done! Happy, happy!"

"The Red Banner Army is doing well! The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and we need to prepare more food and clothing for the soldiers in front."

It was only at this time that there was no time to prepare food and clothing. Zheng Xiu'e had already arranged for supplies to be shipped to the front line, ensuring that the soldiers in the front had sufficient supplies for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Now Zheng Xiu'e has received a list of materials needed ahead. It clearly says [-] bags of cement and [-] pieces of steel bars of several types.

The materials for the front line must be secured. Zheng Xiu'e immediately issued an order to ship the cement immediately. The steel factory postponed other orders and quickly prepared the amount of steel bars needed for the front line.

Every time Qin Yuyi saw a messenger coming, she had to personally meet and ask questions. She knew that the "Red Banner Army" fought well, but she regretted that she had to stay behind.

A few days ago, Qin Yuyi received a letter from her brother's servant, and learned that her brother's initiative to ask for a battle was rejected by the emperor himself, and the Ministry of War still ordered the white-armed soldiers to garrison Shanhaiguan.

She immediately wrote a letter to report the situation to her husband. In the letter, she revealed her intention to take the women's barracks to fight in southern Liaoning. Who knew that her husband rejected the letter very simply, and blamed her for being ignorant. Don't you know that having a stable empress is the reason? Can the soldiers who are fighting ahead feel at ease?
