Blood from Daming

Chapter 831 Entering Lushun
In February of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde led the rebel army to break through the siege for the second time at sea, but was intercepted and attacked by the Dongjiang Army led by Huang Long, led by Li Weiluan, Shang Kexi and others. Beheaded, Mao Chenglu, Su Yougong, Chen Guangfu, Gao Zhixiang and other 16 people were captured, and then they were offered to the captives to rectify the Fa in the capital and spread it to the first nine sides.

In April of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde and Geng Zhongming, who had nowhere to go, surrendered the gold from Zhenjiang Fort on the Yalu River. Working together, the water and land advance side by side, and the momentum is like a broken bamboo, who in the world would dare to be an enemy of Khan?" Huang Taiji went out ten miles outside Shengjing to welcome him, and won Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming's rebels and more than 3 family members.

In July of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Kong Youde and others found out that Shang Kexi and others had gone to Guanglu Island to take office, and sent Lushun Navy to attack the rebels. Lu Yuetuo and Jierhalang's troops were all defeated, and only then remembered to ask for help from Xue's army stationed in Yizhou, North Korea. Lu Yaojin, who had been watching the fire from the other side, felt that he could send troops to break the siege of Dongjiang Town.

On July 23rd of the sixth year of Chongzhen, Lu Yaojin led the North Sea Fleet of the Xue family army alone after negotiating with the court to send troops to Lushun, and arrived in Lushun with a full load of Xue family army troops. The whole family set themselves on fire, and the generals of Dongjiang Town, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, and Shang Keyi all died in battle.

Soldier Huang Long saw the big flag with the word "Xue" on the seashore, and regretted why he hadn't asked Xue's army for help earlier. Now there are only more than a hundred soldiers and servants around him, and all gunpowder and arrows are gone. The rebels who captured Kong Youde swarmed in. Huang Long beheaded more than a dozen enemy chieftains and was seriously injured. Looking back, only a few soldiers and servants were still resisting. Huang Long did not want to be captured and humiliated. He knelt down in the direction of the capital and shouted three times After the emperor, he committed suicide.

The elimination of Kong Youde in Dongjiang Town is avenging the Ming Dynasty, but the Xue family army has already landed in Lushun. The exhausted Jianlu and rebels must face the new enemy. Kong Youde is a new traitor and is eager to show off. However, Yuetuo and Jierhalang heard that Xue changed color, and immediately ordered their troops to retreat to the north. This made Kong Youde very depressed. If he knew that the Dajin Kingdom was afraid of Xue Ruhu, why didn't he consider joining the Xue family army first? Yuanyuan, now that all the family members and children are in Shengjing, I am afraid that I and my subordinates will have to follow Huang Taiji to the end.

When Lu Yaojin, Zuo Ming, Tao Yaofu, and Wen Laoer rushed to the old camp in Dongjiang Town, tens of thousands of Jian captives and rebels had already withdrawn completely, and Xue's army only had more than a hundred wounded Dongjiang soldiers. Under the direction of the Dongjiang soldiers, Lu Yaojin and other generals of the Xue family army saw the body of the general Huang Long. Lu Yaojin hated himself for being late and not saving Huanglong and the Dongjiang army, and felt very sad.

On the second day, Lu Yaojin buried Huang Long, Xiang Zuolin, Fan Hualong, Zhang Dalu, Shang Keyi and other Dongjiang Army generals one by one, surrounded by tens of thousands of Dongjiang Army soldiers and their families. It was built as a martyr's cemetery, and Huanglong was named a "national hero", and the people of Ming Dynasty worshiped and worshiped it from generation to generation.

Although Kong Youde's Wuqiao Mutiny ended in the victory of the Ming army, the situation in Denglai was completely corrupted, and the hinterland of Shandong was also ravaged.The Ming court lost tens of thousands of soldiers, warships, artillery, and countless food and money. From then on, Denglai was barren and the Dongjiang River was shaken. It was a strategic failure to contain Jianlu at sea, and the court also lost precious time and financial resources. Given the opportunity, Chongzhen's Ming Dynasty was already powerless.

At the end of July in the sixth year of Chongzhen, Xue Jiajun regained the narrow strip from the south of Hongzuibao to Shuangdao and Lushun, and then waited quietly for the decision from Hangzhou. At this time, Yan Sanniang was talking with her second uncle Xue Po The prisoner talked a lot. Since the Xue family's navy intensified its operations against pirates off the coast of Fujian and Guangdong in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the maritime forces including the Portuguese and Zheng Zhilong's troops have been hit hard by the Xue family's navy. The navy is dominant, the Portuguese can only rely on Macau, and Zheng Zhilong can only rely on Quanzhou to procrastinate. So far, the entire Daming sea area has no approval from the Xue Jiajun Navy, and the Ming maritime merchants dare not go to sea at all.

Yan Sanniang said: "Second Uncle, General Lu controls the area south of Hongzuibao in the Liaodong Peninsula. I don't know what Second Uncle thinks about this territory."

Xue Polu thought for a while and said: "How can the land of the Ming Dynasty be taken lightly with Jianlu? What the last general meant was to send troops to Lushun."

Yan Sanniang said: "Second Uncle, besides supporting Hangzhou, how many troops can Taiwan provide to go north to Lushun?"

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, at the end of the day, we will consider transferring a team of 5000 people to Lushun, and then withdraw the Xue family army in Yizhou, North Korea to Lushun, and consider using Jeju Island under North Korea as a logistics place for the Xue family army to graze. "

Yan Sanniang said: "Second Uncle, if our Xue Family Army unilaterally withdraws from Yizhou Prefecture, will it damage the relationship with the North Korean side?"

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, North Korea is a dog. When something happens, it will wag its tail and beg for mercy. Once it gets better, it will turn its face and deny anyone. This time the rescue of Lushun is because the North Korean side is holding back our Xue family army. Since North Korea refuses to let people As the master of our Xue family army, our Xue family army does not need to guard the home for North Korea. As for Jeju Island, it can be occupied. Otherwise, please live in Taiwan. The Guanghai Lord governs North Korea, even if it is included in the Ming Dynasty territory, Guanghai Lord is willing. "

Yan Sanniang knew that Xue Polu had always been angry with North Korea, and this time North Korea refused to implement the military agreement with Xue's army for its own sake. Lushun, let North Korea face Jianlu alone. Only when North Korea is hurt by Jianlu, will they think of the benefits of the Xue family army. At that time, it is up to Xue Jiajun to help Lingyang Lord Li Yu or Guanghai Lord Li Hui mood.

Yan Sanniang said: "Well, let's do what Second Uncle wants."

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, at the end of the day, General Fang who is stationed in Ryukyu will be transferred to Jeju Island. Deputy General Zhang Sanzhu will be in charge of guarding Ryukyu. It is considered that General You will lead 5000 troops to Lushun, and let Yu Dahui do it in the Taipei Garrison."

Yan Sanniang knows that there are currently [-] Xue's troops on Taiwan Island, of which [-] are stationed in Ryukyu. Now that General Fang is transferred to Jeju Island, only Zhang Sanzhu's [-] Xue's troops are left. Fortunately, the Ryukyu royal family has a heart for Xue's army, as long as there are no Japanese pirates If there is no intrusion, the Ryukyu Kingdom will be safe and sound.

General You led 5000 troops to Lushun. Yu Dahui was in charge of the Taipei garrison area. The defensive task was not heavy. The pressure was mainly on General Lian Xiongwei in the south. Tainan was close to Luzon (Philippines) which was the front line. Zhang Sanzhu has reused them.

The main force of Taiwan Island is the 5000 Xue Family Army field troops in the hands of Yu Si, which is the most important force for the Xue Family Army to occupy Daming, followed by Captain Luo Erwa's Marine Corps, which has reached 3000 people, and Peng Langjun The general's special forces have a total strength of [-] people. These three forces also shoulder the surveillance tasks of Japan, North Korea, Ryukyu, Luzon, Champa, Java, and Siam, especially to overthrow the Spaniards on Luzon Island.

Yan Sanniang waited for Xue Yun's return to make trouble. This was the ardent hope of all the officers and men of the Xue family army. Polu's idea gave an affirmative answer.

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, now that the south of the Yangtze River is in turmoil, do you consider transferring some troops from Taiwan to Zhejiang, so as not to quench your thirst when you are employing people?"

Yan Sanniang knew that Xue Polu was accusing Wen Xiangjiao Xu Hongru of disturbing southern Henan, and that the imperial court's [-] troops were very close to Hangzhou, but Liaodong and North Korea had already involved too many troops from Xue's army. The plan to attack Luzon back then was nowhere in sight.

Yan Sanniang said: "Second Uncle, Chixue has been nagging about the restoration of the country."

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, our own affairs have not been resolved. Even if we want to conquer the enemy, Luzon should be the first one. There is no such thing as a country full of thorns. The red blood princess promised the young master several times." Years, what’s the matter? People are in Cao Ying and their hearts are in Han.”

Yan Sanniang said: "First transfer sister Xu from Lianghuai back to Hangzhou."

Xue Polu said: "Mistress, Lu Song and Mancijia can fight at any time. Hangzhou is the top priority of the Xue family army. If the popularity of the Xue family army in Hangzhou is lost, the popularity gathered by the Xue family army in Hangzhou will disperse. How about it? Let Peng Langjun's special forces Sent to Hangzhou, although Peng Langjun's troops are small, their fighting power is not inferior to that of Yu Si and Luo Erwa."

Yan Sanniang thought for a while and finally nodded in agreement, Xue Polu said: "Mistress, is Taiwan Island going to recruit another batch of recruits, but I'm afraid the soldiers will be recruited from Pingpu Fan, or even Gaoshan Fan."

Yan Sanniang said: "Second Uncle, Taiwan Island is my homeland after all, no matter Pingpu Fan or Gaoshan Fan are people of Ming Dynasty. The people are different, as long as the Pingpu Fan and Gao Shan Fan have a heart for the Xue family army, they are their own people."

Xue Polu was overjoyed when he heard this, and Yan Sanniang went on to say, "I'm not going to attack Luzon for now, let the first fleet and the second fleet stay in Lushun and help defend Jeju Island."

Xue Polu got Yan Sanniang's order, and went back to Taiwan Island by boat the next day. Yan Sanniang took a boat back to Hangzhou Yanjiazhuang on the same day, but Yan Sanniang's sea boat had just arrived, and it was normal. A secret report from the Jinyiwei Secret Camp of the Xue Family Army said that Xue Susu, a socialite living in seclusion in Nanjing, had been kidnapped.
