Standing on the tall ship building, looking at the winding coastline, Wu Ping felt excited.
Finally, after seven or eight days of sea journey, the fleet arrived at the Liaodong Peninsula.
However, the islands they passed along the way were basically deserted.
The fleet arrived at Jinzhou Zhongzuo at the southernmost tip of the peninsula.
After searching ashore, they only saw dilapidated and abandoned castles, no troops, and no people.
Jinzhou Zhongzuo was later known as Lushun, the closest land in southern Liaoning to Dengzhou.
However, since there was no population, there was no point in occupying it.
So Wu Ping ordered the fleet to sail northwest around the coast from the center left.
More than an hour later, they arrived near Muchangyi.
When he saw the man running wildly through the telescope, Wu Ping smiled on his face.
The dock was too small to accommodate large ships, so two two-masted ships were ordered to dock.
Two two-masted ships carried more than 200 soldiers.
Quickly approaching the pier, the soldiers came ashore one after another.
As they were lining up, they saw a group of Qing soldiers running towards the seaside.
The artillery on the ship fired one after another, and dozens of artillery shells fell towards the ranks of the Qing soldiers, smashing them into pieces.
Two more ships docked at the pier, and the number of soldiers who came ashore reached 500.
Under the leadership of a guerrilla general, they headed in the direction of Kiba Station.
Niu Lu is a true Eight Banners warrior, so when he heard that the Ming army was attacking, he gathered his troops to meet the enemy regardless, because he had experienced countless battles with the Ming army and had never taken the Ming army seriously.
However, after a series of cannonballs and more than a dozen of his men were killed, he quickly came to his senses.
Looking at the countless sailboats on the sea, he realized that with his own strength, the hundred or ten men were no match for the Ming army, so he decisively led his troops to withdraw.
At Muchang Post, he pulled out all the mules and horses, took his family and ran north.
But this time his army was also in chaos.
He wanted to take his family to escape.
Naturally, his bannermen also wanted to take away their families, so he found that there were only seven or eight bannermen following him.
The entire Kuchang Station There was a tangle of cries.
Niu Lu packed his wife and several children into the carriage, rode his horse and fled north with seven or eight bannermen, completely ignoring the chaos of Muchang Station behind him.
And when he just escaped from Muchangyi, five hundred Ming troops also attacked, and the sound of firecrackers became loud.
How could the entire Muchang Station, with a population of more than a hundred bannermen and hundreds of people, withstand the attack of five hundred Ming troops?
If Niu Lu had not fled to prevent his men from resisting, they could have resisted for a while.
He had lost his leader in his escape.
Even more irresistible.
The fighting soon ceased.
More than a dozen bannermen were killed, and most of the remaining ones surrendered.
Most of the bannermen were Han army bannermen, who were the former soldiers of the Dongjiang Army.
They did not have much courage to resist.
Muchangyi was just a small place, and Wu Ping did not stay here too long.
After learning about the strength of the Qing army in the Liaodong Peninsula from the prisoners, Wu Ping left 500 men to clear out the Manchu soldiers and civilians at the southern end of the peninsula, and the fleet continued to move north. , arrived at the sea near Jinzhouwei on the second day.
Jinzhou Guard was once the Ming Army's garrison in southern Liaoning, and its location was very important.
Now there are more than 300 Eight Banners soldiers stationed here, including 100 Eight Banners soldiers.
Facing the huge Ming army fleet, the Eight Banners soldiers in Jinzhou did not escape or dare to fight.
Instead, they defended the castle and at the same time sent fast horses to deliver messages to the north to request reinforcements.
Wu Ping sent 3,000 soldiers ashore, and at the same time transported ten red cannons ashore.
Lin Fusheng led them to capture Jinzhou, and the fleet continued to move north.
The three hundred Qing troops were not worthy of the army staying for a long time again.
Lin Fusheng commanded three thousand troops to surround the Jinzhouwei Castle, and artillery fired at the city wall non-stop.

The Qing army in the city once tried to make a surprise attack out of the city and destroy the Ming army's artillery, but they were fired upon by the Ming army, leaving dozens of corpses behind and retreated into the city.
The strength of the Ming army was ten times that of the Qing army.
There were as many as a thousand muskets, not to mention various artillery and firearms.
Three days later, the city wall was blasted by artillery.
The Qing army broke out of the city and had a fierce battle with the Ming army.
One Hundred True Man and Eight Banners were the vanguard.
After a deadly battle, they tore through the Ming army's defense line and fled towards Fuzhou.
Less than 100 of the 300 Qing soldiers fled, and more than 200 Ming troops were killed in the battle.
Lin Fusheng was furious and ordered all the more than 100 Qing soldiers who surrendered to be executed.
After a series of killings, Jinzhou City became an empty city.
Lin Fusheng led nearly 3,000 soldiers to attack north along the land route, breaking through several Manchu fortresses along the way, and arrived at the foot of Fuzhou City to join Wu Ping's main force.
The news that the Ming army was attacking from the south had already spread throughout the Liaodong Peninsula, and the remaining Qing troops everywhere gathered in the castle.
Basically all the people of the Eight Banners were soldiers, even the Han banners who later surrendered.
By the time Wu Ping led his fleet around Changsheng Island and arrived at the coast of Fuzhou, more than a thousand soldiers had been mobilized in Fuzhou City.
Thousands of soldiers blocked the coast, making it very difficult for the Ming army to land.
There is no big dock here in Fuzhou, and three-masted ships cannot dock at all.
The only way to get ashore is to transport troops in small boats.
Thousands of Qing soldiers guarded the coast, making it not easy for the boat to get ashore.
As a result, the three Galen ships sailed three miles away from the coast and fired hundreds of cannons at the Qing army on the coast.
A large number of shells fell near the Qing army's array, and dozens of Qing soldiers were killed by the artillery.
However, the Qing army refused to retreat in the face of artillery and blocked the coast with bows and arrows.
Once the cannon fired, gold was worth ten thousand taels.
The artillery fired shells and even more silver.
It was not cost-effective to bombard the soldiers on the shore.
After two rounds of artillery, it stopped.
Under Wu Ping's order, Sima Nan commanded three thousand soldiers to row a boat and forcefully disembark.
The ship slowly approached the coast and entered the shooting range of the Qing army.
Countless arrows flew from the shore, making the Ming army's shields snap.
The gunmen of the Ming army were not to be outdone and opened fire on the Qing army on the ship.
More than a dozen small boats docked at the coast.
The Ming soldiers waded onto the coast holding shields.
The Qing soldiers shouted and came to kill.
The two sides fought together.
The sound of firecrackers, fighting and shouting made the coast red with blood. .
While the Ming and Qing armies were fighting on the coast, Lin Fucheng commanded more than two thousand Ming troops to arrive from the land and launched an attack on the Qing army from behind.
Wu Ping took the opportunity to send more soldiers in small boats to force the landing.
After a fight, the Qing army abandoned four to five hundred corpses and retreated to Fuzhou City.
More than five thousand Ming troops surrounded Fuzhou.
There were a large number of Qing troops in Fuzhou City.
They did not rush to attack the city.
Instead, they set up a stronghold outside the city and surrounded Fuzhou.
Thousands of miles away from Liaodong, there were many Qing troops left behind.
Wu Ping did not intend to continue the attack, but was determined to use Fuzhou as bait to mobilize the Qing troops in Liaodong.
So they surrounded Fuzhou without fighting, and began to build docks and military camps on the seaside, assuming a posture of staying there for a long time.
A large number of Ming troops suddenly appeared in southern Liaoning, and the news spread quickly to the north.

Gaizhou, Haizhou and other Liaodong cities were in turmoil.
A few days later, the news reached Shengjing, which immediately shocked Shengjing:
