Ming Zhengzhi, I am Zheng Kezang

()504. The high-speed update of the chapter on the raid on Shandong begins, and the number of updated words is 4126

On the sixth day of May in the fourth year of Wucheng in Huaxia, Kangxi continued to transfer three new Eight Banners new troops and [-] green battalion new camps into North Korea. Keeping it at about [-] people not only limited the scale of the war, but also made North Korea a martial arts field for the Qing army to test changes in its own combat effectiveness.

Now that the cavalry from outside the customs was transferred back, General Bo Ding of Heilongjiang and Yang Fu, the clan of General Jilin, had a mobile force, so they launched a campaign against Jilin and Heilongjiang. Encircled and wiped out six or seven groups of Xia Jun's rangers outside the pass, causing great losses to Xia Jun.

But more importantly, the Qing army learned from some of the captured officers and soldiers of the Xia army who could not survive the torture that the Xia army had several summer camps in Vladivostok, Wokuowei, and near Temple Street at the mouth of Heilongjiang. Fortunately, it was already near the end of autumn. The Qing army was unable to organize an immediate cleanup under the coming severe cold, and when the Qing army was dispatched in a big way in the coming spring, the Xia army, who knew that there would be a change, had already abandoned some camps that were exposed or might be exposed

To be honest, even if the Qing army destroyed these camps for a while, it would be an extremely small loss to Huaxia.It must be known that the area outside the customs is vast and the coastline is long, and there are countless possibilities to re-penetrate into the inland from the east of the sea.Therefore, the Qing army was virtually defenseless.If the Qing army blindly thought that the Xia army would make a comeback and still focused on these abandoned camps, then the gains for the Xia army would outweigh the losses.

"Hong Qing, what's the Privy Council's judgment on the Korean War?" Of course, due to the geographical distance and strict ruling hierarchy, Zheng Kezang didn't know the changes in Liaodong at all at this time, but Liaodong was still in Zheng Kezang's sight. However, South Korea's request has been sent to his imperial table through two lines. "Should our army rush to help immediately?"

Obedient and listening, Hong Gongzhu, who replaced Lin Sheng who had just been appointed as the Privy Council Envoy of the Privy Council, said to Zheng Kezang, "My lord, as far as the Privy Council knows, the number of Qing troops in North Korea is only [-]. It won’t be enough to conquer Kaesong and threaten Hanyang, so North Korea can actually persist.”

Hong Gongzhu is not in Zheng Kezang, Afu, but the Privy Council has a big move about to take action, so Xia Jun really has no extra strength to distract himself from the war with Korea: "In addition, according to the Beiguo Navy, it was transferred to Xiguipu to guard According to the government report, the first batch of [-] rogues recruited from the Wa country is still in training, and it will take at least three months before they can go into battle."

Zheng Kezang interrupted: "When will the eight hundred rogues trained by the Daqushan Township Mansion be handed over to Zhou Fan and Cai Fan of Long Island?"

"The same three months." Even though he didn't know if he would get the same status in the future, Hong Gongzhu was still very concerned about the first batch of rogue mercenaries. "Furthermore, it is reported that the tribesmen sent by Zhou Hou and Cai Hou to "cao" training at the same time are quite unbearable. I am afraid that they will not be able to rule these Japanese well."

"The clansmen are unbearable? That's okay, as long as Zhou Zhenghe and Cai Yuanshu can retain some of their original skills." Zheng Kezang is not afraid that Ri himself will turn against the guest. After all, one is unfamiliar with the place, and the other is logistics. It is all controlled by Huaxia. If some Japanese want to rebel, they will be killed with one finger. "Furthermore, the Japanese are always fearful of power and not virtuous. There are huge ships and heavy artillery deterrents along the way, so I don't think there will be any messy thoughts."

"What the Holy Majesty said is true." Hong Gongzhu reported along the way. "It's just that Zhou and Cai Erfan also requested to allocate a part of the Franc cannon."

"Later, the Ministry of War, if there are still in the warehouse, then each will allocate one big Fulang cannon and four small Fulang cannons." As compensation for depriving several people of their comfortable titles, Zheng Kezang will naturally not be there. When they invested for the first time, they were fussy, not to mention that Zhou and Cai were also smart people. Most of the things they wanted were captured by Zheng Kezang, so Zheng Kezang didn't need to spend too much money at all. "Besides the first batch of rogues, the second batch of 'cao' training will also be stepped up. Yu Ping is very jealous, and has already proposed to assign ten regiments of rogues to Jin Lan and Ling Yamen. "

Hong Gongzhu cursed secretly, Jin Lan and Ling Yamen's Shence Army were assigned to the Privy Council in name, but in fact they were more often dispatched by the governor of Fanyang and other countries. The abacus in the book is no guesswork, it is nothing more than using the manpower of the Privy Council and the financial resources of the Ministry of War to benefit his own department.

Since he was dissatisfied with Yu Ping, Hong Gongzhu intentionally tripped him up: "Your Majesty, I met Lin Shangshu yesterday, and Mr. Lin has a lot of complaints about the Shence Army's military expenses going to the military department. "

"Whether the Shence Army's military expenses go to the Ministry of War or the Governor's Yamen, I still have to weigh it." Zheng Kezang knew Hong Gongzhu's subtext very well, but he didn't expose it, just said lightly. "But the soldiers must be trained first, and colonizing the south is also a major policy of this dynasty, so the Privy Council still needs to focus on both the outline and the plan."

"I understand." Hong Gongzhu nodded and asked immediately. "My lord, I heard that Batavia sent people to Penghu."

Since there is no formal diplomatic relationship between the Thai and Western countries and China-although the British East India Company and the Dutch United East India Company have du li diplomatic rights, they are not equal to China at the national level, and the Spanish province of Manila It is just a local administrative agency under the vice-king of New Spain, so it is impossible for the envoys sent by the above three parties to enjoy the same treatment as the four East Asian countries. Institutions - Therefore, Huaxia does not allow its commercial offices with consular rights to be established at mainland ports.

"That's right, but even though the Dutch Hongyi intends to confirm the division of Nanyang and Xiyang territories with me again, since the Hongyi are not my species, it is necessary to be on guard." Zheng Kezang is already directly warning Hong Gongzhu should stop meddling in the conflict between the Ministry of War and the governor's yamen. "What's more, the situation in the Western and Southern Oceans is complicated, and it's not just the western and western barbarians who are hostile to our dynasty."

Hong Gongzhu, who had wrapped himself in, broke into a cold sweat for a while, and immediately responded: "I am confused, I will do it now!"

"Don't say anything if you are confused or not." Zheng Kezang had only touched Hong Lei not long ago, and he couldn't touch Hong Gongzhu again, so he waved his hands tolerantly. "Things have priorities. Helping Shence Army "cao" train soldiers may be put aside for a while, but if something goes wrong with that major event, Hong Qing, I will not say more."

On the third day of June in the fourth year of Wucheng, the first and second divisions of the Hussar Army, the second division of the Cavalry Army, the fourth division of the Flying Cavalry Army and other cavalry units stationed in Nanyang suddenly marched northward in the starry night. Under the city of Zhengzhou, the connection between the Kaifeng defenders and the Luoyang Qing army was cut off in one fell swoop, and the surrounding counties and counties were quickly swept away, forming a posture that the main force of the Xia army was about to make a large-scale northern expedition.

Facing the snowflake-like letters for help from Zhengzhou, Kaifeng and other places, the Qing troops in Lunan and Hezhong responded immediately.

On the seventh day of June, the Qing army in southern Shandong marched westward from Xuzhou and Guide, and arrived near Lankao five days later, forming a confrontation with the Kaifeng defenders.

On the same day, the Qing army in Hezhong also marched east from Xingyang, forming a pincer attack on the Xia army near Zhengzhou.

In view of the fact that the Qing army had been mobilized, the cavalry of the Xia army who had captured more than [-] households and more than [-] people in Zhengzhou and Xuzhou quickly retreated to the front line of Xuchang to wait for follow-up reinforcements.

On June [-]th, the Qing army in Hezhong and the Qing army in southern Lu joined forces in Zhengzhou, and immediately marched southward to confront the Xia army across the Wenhe River.It was only at this time that Kangxi in Beijing City had already doubted Xia Jun's actions, but the Qing government was still unable to judge the specific purpose of Xia Jun's attack for a while, so they had to let the two armies form a confrontation on the Henan front.

On June 22, the messenger dispatched by Erkangtai, the deputy capital of the Qing army who stayed in Huai'an, arrived in Beijing.

Only then did the Qing court learn that the coastal provinces of Huaxia had requisitioned more than [-] large, medium and small sea-going ships for backup. Obviously, a new landing battle was imminent.

However, in the face of the Xia army's upcoming landing operation, the Qing court was arguing endlessly over the judgment of the landing point. It was impossible to confirm whether the Xia army's goal was North Korea, Liaoxi, or Denglai and Gyeonggi.For this reason, on the one hand, the Qing court strengthened vigilance along the Bohai Rim, and on the other hand, notified North Korea to shrink its troops to prevent surprise attacks.

Just as the Qing court was in turmoil, on June 25th and June 26th, the Beiguo Navy of the Xia Army dispatched a number of ships, including cruise ships and letter ships, into the Bohai Bay for two consecutive days and bombarded the temple islands. The beacons on the island and along the coast seem to point out the direction for the possible landing of the Xia army.

On June 27th, the wolf finally came, but to the surprise of the Qing court, the Xia army's goal was southeast Shandong.

On that day, more than 3 Xia troops landed successively from Rizhao Bay, Langya Taiwan, Lingshan Bay, and Jiaozhou Bay, and immediately swept Yizhou in Yanzhou Prefecture, Juzhou in Qingzhou Prefecture, Jiaozhou, Pingdu Prefecture, and Dengzhou in Laizhou Prefecture. Laiyang and other places in the government.

Yanu, the governor of Qingshan Mountain who is responsible for guarding the land, is defending Laizhou Prefecture against possible attacks by the Xia army at this time, only to find that the Xia army has landed from behind.As a last resort, Yanu could only supervise Fubiao and [-] green flag soldiers from the old battalion to march south from Laizhou Prefecture, trying to recover Pingdu and other places from Xia Jun, but was defeated by Xia Jun in World War I.

Yanu, who had lost his helmet and armor, didn't even dare to enter Laizhou City, so he fled directly back to Jinan, but this was a pain for the Laizhou prefect Wan Guochao who had no soldiers in his hands.In view of the fact that most of the soldiers and horses in the city were thrown by Yanu in the battle of Pingdu, Wan Guochao, who knew that he was incapable of defending the city, made up his mind and personally slashed the gate collar of the Zhengbai flag in the city, and then surrendered with the officials and gentry in the city Xia Jun.

Seeing that Laizhou changed hands, Suji of Denglai Haiphong Road in Manzhouzhenghong Banner gathered more than 3000 green battalions, village braves, and regiments to defend Dengzhou Fucheng and the swordfish water village outside the city.The Xia army, who came from afar, saw that the Qing army was on the defensive, so they gave up their strong attack. They just systematically plundered the population and all supplies within the sight of the Qing army, leaving only a "naked" city of Dengzhou

It stands to reason that since Xia Jun's actions have been exposed, the Qing army should respond immediately.However, the Xia army on the front line in Xuchang continued to increase its troops, with a total force of more than 10,000 divisions, so as to suppress the Qing army in southern Shandong and Hezhong from dividing troops to save southeastern Shandong.As for the [-]+ Qing army in Gyeonggi, they dare not act rashly. Who knows if this is a double trap by the Xia army. Isn't it going to move the capital?

Therefore, the Qing court could only watch helplessly as Xia Jun moved away more than [-] households and more than [-] people from the three prefectures of Laizhou, Dengzhou, and Yanzhou.It was not until the end of July that the Qing government hurriedly mobilized [-] troops from Beijing and Tianjin to Jinan after it was initially judged that it was impossible for the Xia army's navy to land from other places during the East China Sea wind period.

On August [-]th, the Qing army regained the empty Laizhou Prefecture; on August [-]th, the Qing army regained the empty Pingdu Prefecture and Laiyang County; The army regained the dead zone of Jimo County
