Dragon Sea Empire

Beile Amin, the second king of the Houjin Kingdom, waved the whip in his hand, and said sharply to the North Korean official in front of him, "Tell your boss, if you don't bring in the grain and grass before tomorrow, I will take the army across the river to fetch it in person. Do you understand?" ,"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I will definitely deliver the grain and grass to..."

The Koreans were so frightened that they scrambled downhill, got into a small boat and rowed to the opposite bank.

A Min suddenly laughed loudly: "They are all soft bones, just like the Ming people in the Southern Dynasty, they are all soft bones."

……

Less than 1 mile downstream from this section of the Yalu River, on a hillside along the river, two men in strange clothes were hiding secretly.

Their clothes were covered with straw and leaves, like straw figures that could move. They were two scouts from the special battalion of the Chinese Army, and one of them was holding a long binoculars that was only equipped by the Chinese Army in the entire Liaodong region.

The section of the river where North Korea transported food to the Eight Banners was actually a little far from Zhenjiang Fort. There was only a small fort nearby by the Ming Army, but it has been abandoned by the Ming Army, and the Eight Banners soldiers have not moved in. They fled a long time ago, so this area has almost become a no-man's land. The Rangers of the Eight Banners soldiers pass through this section of riverside woods from time to time, but they never carefully observe the surroundings: the Eight Banners soldiers entered this area in the spring. Basically, Nei has never encountered decent resistance, so he simply ignored the warning of the woods on both sides of the road.

Two scouts from the special battalion had been lurking here for two days, and they finally approached the woods less than a mile away from the group of Eight Banners generals on the hillside.

The investigator on the left was about [-] years old. He held up his binoculars and looked at it for a long time, then whispered: "It's a North Korean official. There is no doubt that the other side is delivering food to the Jurchen Tartars. The North Korean country is indeed in collusion with the Jurchen Tartars." together,"

"Boss Luo asked us to find evidence of North Korea's collusion with the Jurchens. What should we do?" asked another young investigator.

The investigator on the left grinned: "Why is this so difficult? Let's cross the river and just catch one or two North Korean officials on the other side and bring them back. When the North Koreans find out, they will only think that it was the Jurchen Tartars on the other side. Don't dare to say anything more."

This daring plan was immediately approved by the young investigators. Of course, the soldiers of the special battalion must be bold and careful. Two people cannot complete this plan. Therefore, in the evening of this day, the activity took place in the dense forest by the Yalu River. The six investigators gathered in this area one after another.

Two days later, eight investigators from the Special Battalion of the Chinese Army, together with a North Korean official and a bundle of Korean government documents seized from the Yamen of Uiju Prefecture, went downstream from the Yalu River to the sea. A fleet of ships came to meet them and arrived at Lushun Port two days later.

Soon, Yin Feng issued an order to attack North Korea. 150 three-masted Fuchuan-type transport ships were assembled at Lushun Port and were ready to carry 25000 troops from the first and third infantry divisions and the two regiments of the artillery brigade. In Jinzhou Wei area, more than a dozen self-organized pioneering regiments have also assembled. They came from Taiwan, Luzon and other places after hearing about the North Korean Raiders. There is even a group of temporarily organized Shandong refugee teams: they are all In order to seize their own land, the goal is North Korea.

The temptation of land to Chinese people is so great, Yin Feng did not expect that his land distribution order would cause such a result. There is no plan in the organization, and there is no armed force to protect it. It takes several generations or more than a dozen generations of hard work to develop a piece of land. It may even take nearly a thousand years to develop the land in the south of the Central Plains to achieve the goal of "huguang ripening all over the world". However, the organized and planned land development project backed by force launched by Yin Feng was to arouse the enthusiasm of the people for pioneering and colonizing, but now it has developed into a spontaneous armed pioneering action by the people. Feng was unexpected.

Yin Feng feels that at this time, the enthusiasm for the people's land development should be based on support. As for the wishes of the people of North Korea, Yin Feng can only say sorry from the bottom of his heart: this is the age of great voyages and the era of global colonization , Yin Feng considers himself a Chinese, so...

He ordered personnel from the Military Intelligence Department and the Military Supervision Department to organize more than a dozen pioneering regiments into an auxiliary force, which would follow the Chinese army to land in North Korea, and then be responsible for the security of the occupied area. This auxiliary force was called The security team has more than 2000 members, and their weapons range from spears and broadswords to bows and arrows, and blunderbusses. Therefore, Zheng Dong of the logistics department complained that it was impossible to provide ammunition for these people. In order to be able to control these pioneering groups, Yin Feng had no choice but to ask the logistics department to provide them with food and grass alone, and the pioneering group would handle the weapons, equipment and ammunition themselves. The local security forces are collectively known as the militia.

Fortunately, the pioneering group has its own ships, and there is no need for the Chinese Army to provide delivery vehicles.

The evidence of the North Korean collusion with Hou Jin, the generals of the Chinese army and the senior management of the Chinese company are not too concerned. In any case, the Chinese army is going to enter North Korea. This evidence is provided to the court. Nominally, the Zhonghua Company still surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

Originally, Yin Feng asked Zeng Shan to go to North Korea to organize a civil affairs agency that governs the occupied area, but Zeng Shan could not get rid of the influence of decades of Confucian education, and he was always uninterested in Yin Feng's unscrupulous attacks on North Korea, so he applied to stay In Jinzhouwei, I intend to prepare for the civil affairs after taking control of Liaodong.

The will of the Chinese Army is Yin Feng's will, Zeng Shan has already understood this point, he has already planned to only worry about civil affairs for Yin Feng in the future, and completely get rid of the role of the so-called "imperial art" counselor; Yin Feng Everything he does is beyond the scope of traditional Taoism. Zeng Shan feels that no matter how hard he tries, he will never be able to keep up with Yin Feng's thinking.

The battle situation in Liaodong changed in September. Amin's main force did not go north to block the Liaoxi Corridor, nor did it cooperate with Nurhachi's main force to defend Liaoyang, but instead went south to Liaonan.

As a result, there were loopholes in the strategy of the Eight Banners soldiers to encircle Shenyang and Liaoyang. Nurhachi's strength in his hands could only tightly encircle the front line of Shenyang, and the encirclement of Liaoyang was actually very loose.

At this moment, the Ming army, with the efforts of Xiong Tingbi, has assembled a large number of troops in western Liaoning. Xiong Tingbi also discovered the problem of insufficient troops in the later Jin Dynasty. He decided to attack. The Ming Dynasty also took some measures in order to counterattack Liaodong: The generals were dispatched to lead the troops to aid Liao, and those who were dispatched included Chai Guozhu, the guerrilla Zhu Wanliang, and Li Huaixin, the general. The imperial court also ordered Chen Ce, the deputy commander in chief of Sichuan, to assist Liao and promoted him to the rank of commander in chief. Qin Liangyu, a female chieftain of Sichuan, was also ordered to lead a white-armed army to assist Liao.

The troops gathered under Xiong Tingbi came from all over the country, including Sichuan soldiers, Ji soldiers, Baoding soldiers, Ningxia soldiers, Xuanfu soldiers, Datong soldiers, Guyuan soldiers, and Gansu soldiers, including town soldiers, generals' servants, native soldiers, and Mao soldiers. The local recruits, etc., were later transferred to the Huai and Zhejiang waters. Thousands of Zhejiang soldiers from the capital and Tianjin Wei also gathered in western Liaoning. At the same time, they also mobilized 520 horses to provide food for the soldiers Since a year ago, the increase has been increased by 30% and [-]% per mu. A year ago, it was increased by [-]% and [-]% per mu, and finally increased to [-]% per mu. The total is [-] million, which has become an extra tax. Insufficient, at the request of Xiong Tingbi, another [-] taels of silver was sent to reward the soldiers who aided Liao.

In this way, it took Xiong Tingbi a few months to finally assemble an army of 8. Due to the large number of soldiers and the heavy workload, a Shandong official was specially appointed to take care of the salary.

In October, Xiong Tingbi's army marched westward, marching towards Liaoyang with Chen Cebu, the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan Army, and soon passed Xining Fort, and captured Niuzhuang Station and Dongchang Fort. After the battle, they retreated, and the other side announced that the Dabian army was a side division, and after crossing the Liaohe River, they went straight to Haizhou. In Haizhou city, there were only hundreds of Jin Eight Banner soldiers and thousands of Ming soldiers who surrendered. When the Ming army approached the city wall, Anyway, the soldiers of the Eight Banners opened the west city gate, abandoned the city and ran away.

From then on, most of the scattered Eight Banners cavalry standing in front of the Ming army were just harassing day and night. The main force of the Ming army had arrived at Anshan post two days later, only fifty or sixty miles away from Liaoyang.

Xuan Dabing set out from Haizhou and went south to recover Gaizhou. This time, it was not so smooth. More than a thousand Eight Banners soldiers in Gaizhou City defended and did not retreat. Surprising troops were also sent out to attack the Ming army camp at night. Qi Shun, the general of Xuanfu, personally He led his troops to rush to the city, but was seriously injured by the Eight Banners soldiers' bows and arrows. He died in the barracks two days later, and his position was temporarily replaced by the deputy commander.

Amin's 15000 Eight Banners elites are in Fuzhou at the moment, and are preparing to attack the Jinzhou Guard guarded by the Chinese Army. He heard from his subordinates that the Chinese Army guarding the Jinzhou Guard is armed by maritime merchants and rich enough to rival the country. Thinking about going to the Golden State Guard to make a fortune.

Hearing that Gaizhou, his back road, was attacked by the Ming army, Amin did not panic. What he was worried about was the anger of his uncle Nurhachi. It stands to reason that he should be maneuvering on the Haigai line at this moment, ready to block the Ming army in the direction of the Liaoxi Corridor at any time. If the reinforcements cannot be stopped, they must resist steadily and retreat towards Liaoyang, and then join the Eight Banners soldiers who surrounded Liaoyang to launch a counterattack before the Ming army has come a long way to gain a firm foothold.

But now, Haizhou has been lost and Gaizhou has been attacked. I think the Ming army has already crossed the Liaohe River to rescue Liaoyang. Moreover, the Ming army has already cut off the retreat of Amin's Eight Banners soldiers. Amin looked at the front In the direction of Jinzhou Wei, he flicked his horsewhip: "Leave this here for now..." He said to his generals: "The whole army will go north, march to Gaizhou at full speed, and come here to make a fortune after killing those southern barbarians."
