Chapter 749 Fortress

Jirgalang finished this with joy, and the Manchus and Tartars present were in an uproar. Jing Jin Berenican, who was younger but second only to Jirgalang, immediately stood up and said:

"No! The prince is the General Dinghai, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, who was appointed by me. How valuable is his identity? He should be in Zhenjiang Fortress to take charge of the overall situation. How can he be in danger and stay on the sea?

"In the eyes of my nephew, the prince sent a Beile or Gushan Ezhen to lead thousands of elite horses and infantry troops inlaid with blue flags, and was equipped with his Han army, Prince Zhishun, and carried a batch of heavy artillery firearms. In addition, the 3,000 naval troops under Lin Qingye were enough. Why should the prince take action personally?"

Jing Jin Berenican said this, after a brief pause, he shook his horse's hooves and sleeves twice, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground, and continued:

"The navy ship of the Chaoren was ordered by his nephew to recruit Li Chao Hanyang City in person. The nephew was willing to lead the army to detour to Jinhai to conquer the enemy's backbone. If he failed, he would be successful. Please be kind to the prince!"

Jing Jin Berenican is one of the sons of Chu Ying, the eldest son of old Nunuerhaci.

Chu Ying's eldest son, Dudu, the eldest grandson of Lao Nunuerhaci, was promoted and reused by Huang Taiji, who was sick at the beginning of the year and was given the title of Prince of Doluo Anping.

Jingjin Berenican is the younger brother of Dudu, the prince of Doro Anping.

Because of their background, these two brothers are now valued by Huang Taiji, but their military achievements are not very eye-catching.

Especially Nikan, who was young, had never made decent military achievements, but was repeatedly promoted by Huang Taiji. Now he is the most respectful Beller, which has caused a lot of criticism in private.

Huang Taiji sent him to the army just to make more military achievements. Now that he has the opportunity to establish special merits, he naturally has to find ways to seize it.

In his opinion, if you walk along the sea to the rear of Jinhai Town, as long as you can choose a place to land south of Fuzhou City and make some noise, you can lock in the victory in one fell swoop.

Nikan participated in the full discussion of Dorgon and Jirgalang. For him, such a contribution was simply for nothing.

However, Nikan was still younger and became more impatient.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a thin old man next to him with a long goatee on his face smile and bowed to Jirgalang:

"Your Majesty, what Mr. Beile said is correct. The prince's status is valuable, so it is indeed not suitable to go out to sea to take risks. But Jing Jin Beile himself is also valuable?

"So, in the opinion of a slave, it is better to lead troops to the army. The slave is the Manchurian Gushan Ezhen, who leads his horse stairs and armor to go out to war to share the worries of the masters. It is the slave's duty!"

The thin old man who said this turned out to be the erected blue flag of Manchuria Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili.

However, as soon as he said that, Jing Jin Berrenkan, who knelt on the ground and asked for orders, immediately said: "Prince, this battle involves the soldiers of the Koreans. Since June of Xia, my nephew has been traveling between Shengjing and Hanyang City, and has been involved in the affairs of the Koreans and the generals of the Koreans. He is also quite familiar with the soldiers of the Koreans and generals. It is time for my nephew to lead the troops to go!"

Seeing that Jing Jin Berenican and Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili were arguing, and the others who were called by Jirgalang to discuss the matter seemed to have seen through the tricks and were ready to move. Jirgalang pounded several cases beside the seat with his hand, making a "skip" sound, and his face also darkened.

Seeing this, everyone quickly shut up.

"Okay, don't say much. Taking the sea route to Jinhai to conquer the enemy's back is a strategy that I and Prince Rui discussed and decided together. Since you have persuaded me to take my letter to Gaizhou City and ask Prince Rui to lead a large army south to attack Fuzhou City. Then the major events that governors will lead the elite troops to conquer the rear of Jinhai Town should be personally commanded by me!"

Jing Jing Jing of the ideas of Bernekan and others, Jirgalang was naturally as insightful as a sight.

But Jirgalang certainly won't give up people to the opportunity to establish a special merit like this.

Although he was already the Prince of Heshuo Zheng and the General Dinghai, who was appointed by Huang Taijiqin, he was Shurhazi's son and the younger brother of Er Bele Amin. This background in the side is an eternal pain point deep in his heart.

Therefore, although he has a high status now and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a great minister, he will never be satisfied with his meritorious service and the respect of the Eight Banners.

"Besides, which prince of my Qing Dynasty is not a leader who will drive forward every battle, experience the arrows and stones in person, and die for a lifetime? Why is it my turn to Jirgalang? You will try your best to dissuade me. Could it be that I Jirgalang is not as good as other kings?"

"I dare not!"

"My nephew dare not!"

After Jirgalang said this, Jing Jin Berenican and Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili knelt on the ground and admitted his mistake.

As for the other nobles who were just ready to move, they immediately shut up and dared not have any other objections.

Seeing that everyone no longer argued about the candidate for commander who led troops to sea, Jirgalang changed the topic and frowned and said in contemplation:

"Jing Jinbeile said just now, we must be worried. If I lead the troops personally, once I take a boat into the sea, everything will be in the hands of Lin Qingye, the magistrate of the magistrate Lin Qingye. Therefore, whether Lin Qingye can fully trust this person has become the top priority.

"During this period, I have seen that the monarch and ministers of the Li Dynasty are slow to do things and are not very determined. I am quite resistant to sending troops and grain to help me eliminate the Ming army. Whether the ships led by Lin Qingye are useful can be used, it also needs to be carefully examined before they can be appropriate-"

Speaking of this, Jirgalang noticed that Jing Jin Berenican and Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili were still kneeling on the ground, so he asked the two to get up first, then turned to Nikan and said:

"Let's do this, Jing Jinbeile, take Han Run and Zheng Mingshou and others, cross the river tomorrow morning, go to Tieshan Sea in person, first go to Lin Qingye's place to see if his navy is trustworthy and can't be used."

"Yeah! My nephew must check it out."

"Well, of course I believe in your eyesight, but you should also use Han Run and Zheng Mingshou. They were originally from the dynasty and were more familiar with the internal situation of the dynasty."

"Yeah!"

"But you have to go and go back quickly, and you can't wait too long. If you check it out and don't find any problems, you can take their ships directly to the river outside Zhenjiang Fort, which will also facilitate heavy artillery boarding."

"Yeah!"

Jirgalang thought while ordering. Seeing that Jing Jin Berenican had no objection, he ignored him and said to Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili:

"Ai Xili, I asked you to recruit heavy artillery from the previous time to send troops to you. How many sects have you recruited now?"

"If you go back to your master, I have been ordered to do the job these days. From Jiuliancheng, Phoenix City, Tangzhanbao, Gushanzi recruited Tianyou to cheer for the general to be fired eight heavy artillery. If two are added to the Jiangkou Maoershan Fort and the Jiangmen Fort in our fort town, there are currently twelve gates."

Speaking of this, Ai Xili hesitated a little and said hesitantly: "Just—————”

"Just what?"

Seeing that Gushan Ezhen Ai Xili talked about the Maoershan Fort near the Yalu River Estuary and the Zhenjiangmen Fort in Zhenjiang Fort hesitated, Jiergalang was a little unhappy.

"But, the prince, the Maoer Mountain Fortress guards the river estuary. This spring, the Qing Emperor was appointed to choose a site to build it. If the only two heavy artillery pieces were removed and the Yalu River estuary was here, there would be no danger to defend it!

"As for the forts on our Zhenjiang Gate, it is a large barrier to control the river and guard the city, and it cannot be moved. Therefore, there are only eight heavy artillery available at present!"

After saying these words, Ai Xili stood with her head down, not daring to look up at Jirhalang's cold gaze.

In fact, Jirgalang's previous orders did make him very embarrassed. Any place where he could get Tianyou to cheer the general to be heavily artillery was an important military place and could not be moved easily.

But now Prince Zheng asked him to collect heavy artillery around Zhenjiang Fort for concentrated use, so he could only do so.

Among them, Jiuliancheng, Phoenix City, Tangzhanbao, and Gushanzi are relatively far away from Zhenjiangbao and the rear hinterland of the Qing Dynasty. It would be easier to transfer the heavy artillery for a while.

However, the Maoershan Fort guarding the narrowest part of the Yalu River Estuary, and the Zhenjiangmen Fort that blocks the river surface for the Zhenjiang Fortress are the two most important places in all nearby military fields. Without Jiergalang's personal order, he would never dare to move easily.

Fortunately, these two places are not far away, so it can be said that they are right in front of you. If Prince Zheng Jirhalang clearly stated that he would be able to requisition it immediately.

"Um."

Jirgalang heard what Ai Xili said, frowned and thoughtful, as if he was not sure of his mind. After a moment, he caught a glimpse of Shang Kexi sitting with his eyes and nose, and asked:

"King Zhishun, tell me, how many Han troops have you selected that can use heavy artillery? Is the eight-sect Tianyou cheering the powerful general enough to capture Jinzhou City or Lushunkou?"

"Ah? This, the general means to use heavy artillery to attack Jinzhou City and Lushunkou?!"

King Shangkexi, who had not cared about how many heavy artillery Jirgalang had collected, was stunned when he heard what Jirgalang said to him.

Shang Kexi himself stationed in Lushunkou. Later, after crossing the sea and surrendering to the Manchus, he also participated in the siege and conquered Lushunkou. He was quite familiar with the situation of Lushunkou.

Therefore, he was very clear about the easy defense and difficult attack of Lushunkou.

Therefore, when he heard Jirgalang intends to ask him to attack Lushunkou with just eight heavy artillery, countless grass and mud horses suddenly surged in his heart.

But he didn't dare to say a word, he only dared to confirm to Jirgalang in fear whether he really wanted to go to Lushunkou or just talk casually.

But every word said by a powerful general like Jirgalang represents his thoughts. How could he just say something he didn't think about?
