Chapter 484: Crossing the Sea to Aid Liao


Dolroll barely calmed down the internal turmoil, and there was no time to rejoice, Zhao Zamao had already forced Liaodong.This made Dol roll frightened, and hurriedly agreed to Hong Chengchou's request, and transferred 30,000 elite soldiers of the Green Battalion from the four provinces of Beizhili, Shanxi, Shandong, and Henan, boarded the ship from Dengzhou, and crossed the river to Liaodong for reinforcements.Now Dolroll's position within the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not as good as before, and many Manchurian nobles are dissatisfied with him, but only because of his ruthlessness, coupled with the control of Beijing's defense and the control of military power, he barely sat in a stable position.If Zhao Zamao captures Shengjing again and destroys the Manchurian nest, I am afraid that not only will he oppose his ministers, but he will also be his henchmen, and he will not support him.Therefore, in order to prove that he was able to lead the Great Qing Kingdom, Dol Roll would never allow it, and Zhao Zamao invaded Shengjing.In Port Arthur, dozens of troop carriers docked, and 6,000 elite soldiers from Shanxi, led by Qing generals Jiang Jianxun, Li Qisheng, Han Zhaoxuan, Yu Yin and others, set foot on the land of Liaodong.The 6,000 soldiers of the Jin Army, from Datong, most of them were former border troops of the Ming Dynasty, and they were among the green battalion sequences, and the food and salary were relatively sufficient, and they were also more capable of fighting.Hong Chengchou wrote a letter to Fang Dayou, the governor of Shandong, asking him to transfer troops to reinforce Liaodong, but he didn't want Fang Dayou to report Hong Chengchou's request to Dol Roll again.After Dol Roll got the news, he was not ambiguous at all, not only agreed to send troops, but immediately dispatched the northern elves to cross the sea to help.After more than 10,000 Shandong Qing troops crossed the sea to Liaodong, the news that 6,000 Jin troops crossed the sea to Lushun did not make Hong Chengchou feel happy."

What is Nakado-sama thinking?"

In the big tent, Tang Tong, the Qing general standing behind Hong Chengchou, spoke out.Tang Tong turned out to be one of the eight general soldiers of the Ming Dynasty, and his status was similar to that of Wu Sangui, but after Wu Sangui switched to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, the distance between the two widened.Now Wu Sangui has become the king of Pingxi, and he is still just a chief military officer."

This hall really hopes that the Qing Dynasty can survive this crisis safely, otherwise the situation in the world will be difficult to say~" Hong Chengchou looked calm and turned to look at his former subordinates."

Zhongtang ordered Fang Futai to transfer 10,000 troops into Liao, and the regent sent more than 6,000 elite soldiers from Shanxi, Beizhili, and Henan to come to reinforcements, Liaodong should be worry-free!"

Tang Tong said with relief.Hong Chengchou shook his head, "It's because the regent has increased his troops again that this hall is worried!"

”Tang Tong couldn't help asking, "Why is this?"

”Hong Chengchou looked at Tang Tong and said in a deep voice, "Have you forgotten the Battle of Songshan?"

”The Battle of Songshan was the last large-scale head-to-head duel between the Ming Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, before the Battle of Songshan, the Ming Dynasty still had a chance to turn the tables, after the Battle of Songshan, the most elite more than 100,000 horses of the Ming Dynasty were wiped out, and they completely lost the capital to fight with the Qing army.In the Battle of Songshan that year, Hong Chengchou was the commander-in-chief of the Ming army, and Tang Tong was one of the eight King Kongs under him, so he naturally had a deep impression of that battle.Hong Chengchou continued: "In order to understand the siege of Jinzhou, the Ming Dynasty transferred the elite of the nine sides and gathered 130,000 elite soldiers.Now, although the regent did not transfer all the northern elves, he also mobilized 30,000 horses.If you add the 30,000 elite soldiers mobilized by the main hall before, the Great Qing Kingdom has already drawn 60,000 elite soldiers from all over the north.In the battle of Songshan that year, the main hall was defeated, and more than 100,000 elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty were annihilated, and since then, the Ming Dynasty has no elite soldiers in the north, and the thieves can quickly sweep the north, and the Qing Dynasty can easily conquer the north.If this failure occurs, the northern elite soldiers of the Great Qing Kingdom will lose nearly half, and the outside of the pass will be occupied by Zhao thieves, and the Great Qing Kingdom will be unable to recover, and the situation will definitely be reversed~" Hong Chengchou failed to command the Battle of Songshan that year, and almost all the northern elites of the Ming Dynasty were buried, so that the Ming Dynasty faced internal and external troubles, and there was no chance to turn over.This time, the Manchu Qing gathered the elite of the Qing army in the north, if it failed, the Qing army could not organize new troops, and Zhao Zamao would definitely occupy the pass.Tang Tong frowned slightly, "Lord Zhongtang, although there are many people on the other side, the real elite is more than 10,000.Now Zhongtang has more than 40,000 elite soldiers, why not be afraid of Zhao Zamao!

”Hong Chengchou sighed, and then said, "What this hall lacks now is actually not reinforcements!"

Instead, the imperial court opened and closed as soon as possible, and the relocation population was enriched outside the gate, but the regent vetoed the proposal of the main hall.Tens of thousands of troops are stationed in Liaodong, and food is not self-sufficient, which is not a long-term solution!

”When Hong Chengchou was discussing with Tang Tong, Shi Lang, who was far away in Dengzhou, Shandong, was watching a pair of Henan Qing troops and boarding the sea ship transporting troops.Not far away, five Qing warships were receiving their final supplies.In charge of transporting the 6,000 Henan soldiers were twenty ordinary Fu boats, with some food and military supplies in the cabin, and the deck were densely packed together with soldiers.In view of the fact that the Ming naval division was still on the coast of Korea, the Qing naval division sent five warships to escort the convoy.These five warships are all large fortune ships, with a red-coated cannon at the bow and stern, nine cannons on the side, and a total of 20 cannons on one ship, which are the main warships of the Qing army."

The military gate, troop transports and warships are ready!"

At this time, a member of the Qing Dynasty stepped forward to report.Shi Lang shook his head when he heard this, and said with a solemn expression: "Let the fleet set off, be careful on the road."

In case of encountering pirates, the escort fleet must protect the troop transport ship and transport the soldiers to Liaodong. ”"Wow!"

The generals of the Qing army immediately saluted.In a short time, a trumpet sounded in the harbor, and the sailors of the troop carriers and warships let out a whistling cry, and then lifted anchor and hoisted their sails, and left the harbor.Standing on the watchtower, Shi Lang saw the fleet sail out of the harbor, the hull of the ship slowly sinking below the horizon, and finally even the mast and sail completely disappeared from view.At this time, the Qing army fleet rode the wind and waves on the sea, sailing in the direction of Lushun, and the fleet passed through the old Tieshan waterway, and when it was about to arrive at the mouth of Lushun, the Ming warships found their traces.In the waters near Tieshan Island, more than a dozen Ming warships hid on the back of the island.At the bow of the gunboat, Guo Zhong took out a clairvoyant mirror and watched the Qing ships sail past him."

Commander, why don't you intercept the Qing fleet?"

Looking at the troop transport ship of the Qing army, heading towards Lushun, the general of the Ming army couldn't help but ask suspiciously.Guo Zhong smiled slightly: "Don't worry!

According to the commander's orders, when they transport people to Liaodong, we will intercept them. ”According to the news obtained from the Heaven and Earth Society, Dolroll sent 30,000 elite soldiers from various provinces to reinforce Liaodong, and 30,000 elite soldiers may change the balance of strength.Therefore, Zhao Ming did not wait for all the 30,000 Qing troops to enter Liaodong, and after the Qing army transported 24,000 people, he decided to attack and launch an attack.
