Chapter 750 The day after tomorrow

Sure enough, after Shang Kexi asked this, Jirgalang's face darkened.

"Hmph, what's wrong with just hitting Lushunkou? I am determined to lead your elite troops from all walks of life to cross the sea and detour behind enemy lines. Did you take you to enjoy the scenery on the sea?"

Jirgalang did not make up his final decision about where to go after he detoured to the rear of Jinhai Town.

But when he saw that Shang Kexi was obviously full of fear of attacking Lushunkou, he immediately felt very unhappy.

"Don't worry about whether you are fighting Lushunkou or going to attack Jinzhou City, first talk about how many useful gunners you have selected and how many Tianyou need to cheer the general of Wei to rekindle the heavy artillery!"

When Shang Kexi saw Prince Zheng Jirgalang say this, he thought the eight gates were OK, so he changed his mind temporarily and blurted out:

"Master, this time our army is detouring behind enemy lines. If we want to attack the city, it is definitely not enough to bring only eight heavy artillery pieces. The slave has been ordered to carefully select 1,500 gunners. It is no problem to carry eight heavy artillery pieces, even if there are eighty artillery pieces."

Shang Kexi's words completely removed all his responsibilities at once.

First of all, Shang Kexi made it clear that it would be not enough to attack the city with eight heavy artillery. At that time, the attack was unfavorable. I can’t blame me for not reminding me earlier.

Secondly, Shang Kexi has been ordered to select 1,500 gunners, and don’t care about the level of these gunners. Just looking at the number of people is enough for you to have dozens of guns.

This means that if you, Prince Zheng, cannot get heavy artillery or other artillery, once you are unfavorable in the future, you cannot blame me Shang Kexi.

However, although Shang Kexi is an old man, isn’t Jirgalang such a man?

So when Shang Kexi said this, Jiergalang snorted coldly when he heard this, and then said, "Let's do this, it's really a little less with only eight heavy artillery. When did the Qing Dynasty be so shabby? The location of the Maoershan Fort is important, don't move it.

"But, the Maoershan Fort controls the river and sea. Since there are heavy artillery guarding the guard, the two heavy artillery on Zhenjiangmen are not so necessary. Disassemble them and get enough ten.

"There are also Jiuliancheng and the general artillery on Zhenjiangmen, and they have also been recruited. Thirty more gates will be collected. Before tomorrow evening, they will prepare ammunition and transport it to the wharf outside Zhenjiangmen, which will also facilitate the boat boarding in the future!"

"The day after tomorrow?"

"That's right, it's the day after tomorrow. If nothing unexpected happens, early on September 19th, all the people who were in charge of this conquest will gather outside Zhenjiangmen before Chenshi. Those who are overdue will be killed!"

"Yeah!"

"Slave obeys the order!"

Jirgalang has been planning to detour the enemy behind Jinhai Town for a long time.

At present, Liu Lin, the governor of the military and horses of Ping'an Road, has led three thousand infantrymen to escort the grain and grass of the Lanqi to Yizhou City opposite Jiulian City.

Lin Qingye, the commander of the three commanders of the Korean Navy, has also led a large number of warships to the Pi Island outside the Tieshan Sea as promised. If there is no abnormality, he will also arrive outside Zhenjiangmen tomorrow evening or the morning next day.

With food and warships, as for the elite horse and infantry, it is the strength of the Eight Banners.

The only drawback is that there are fewer heavy artillery, but he can get together ten heavy artillery of Tianyou to cheer for the general and thirty Ming army general artillery that he has seized all these times. This is the limit he can achieve now.

Jirgalang had to stop thinking about this, and just give his all to what he could do.

As for the time being, if you cannot conquer Lushunkou, Jinzhou City, or any castle behind Jinhai Town, you can only leave it to fate.

In short, the Qing emperor in Shengjing City cannot blame himself for the lack of heavy artillery.

When Jirgalang thought of this, he remembered Shang Kexi's refusal to him just now, and shook his head and smiled bitterly.

He couldn't tell when, facing the increasing rise of the Ziming Army in Jinhai Town, he actually felt like he was unable to do so.

That night, Jirgalang clarified various affairs, and then the blue-flagged soldiers and horses in the entire Zhenjiang Fort and Jiuliancheng area began to take action, making final preparations for the upcoming sea detour.

Yang Zhen, who was in Dongjiang Island, namely Pidao Harbour, naturally knew nothing about this.

In the evening of that day, after Yang Zhen and Lin Qingye and his fleet arrived near Dongjiang Island, more than 200 large and small ships were divided into three routes, left, center and right according to the common sense of navy marching.

Yang Zhen followed Lin Qingye's flagship and led the main force of the fleet to moor in the bay next to Dongjiang Island. The other two roads formed a pattern of guarding the middle road, one in front and the other behind.

Among them, Zuo Shui Camp docked on the nearby Tieshan Coast, and You Shui Camp docked on a bay near Yuncong Island.

That night, Yang Zhen, accompanied by Zhang Chen, Lin Qingye, An Yingchang and others, visited the island to inspect the situation on Dongjiang Island.

All the immigrant households placed on the island on Jinhai East Road have been evacuated.

The farmlands on the island have also been harvested and hidden in advance according to Yang Zhen's earlier orders.

The situation that Yang Zhen was most worried about before landing on the island was that the scene of the sweet potato vines being thrown everywhere after the harvest was completely gone.

Although there are obvious signs of land reclamation and cultivation in the sweet potato fields that were dug not long ago, they will not be arrested by intentional traitors or Manchu Tartars who came to inspect.

After visiting the island for a while, Yang Zhen felt relieved and returned to the filthy bilge of the turtle boat that night. He actually slept until dawn, and he slept quite sweetly.

The next morning, there was heavy fog on the Dongjiang Island area. Lin Qingye sent a trusted pedestrian, holding the Li Chaoyi government's dispatched troops and three flags of the navy commander, to report to the direction of Chaoren Yizhou Prefecture.

By noon, the original team of confidant pedestrians sent by Lin Qingye returned to the fleet stationed in the Dongjiang Island Harbor, bringing back a major news to Lin Qingye - the Qing envoy is here!

It turned out that the pedestrians sent by Lin Qingye, who were carrying the Li Chaoyi government's military dispatch documents and the three naval commanders' flags, were caught by Manchu and the traitors who were patrolling the coast.

After a trial, the Manchu Tatars and the traitors patrolling the coastal patrol escorted them to Jing Jin Berenican, who crossed the river to inspect the situation of the dynasty's naval ships.

In fact, Nikan had crossed the river early in the morning, but in mid-September, the fog on both sides of the Yalu River was heavy in the morning, especially on this day, it was even hard to tell the direction in the wilderness.

The road leading to Rentishan County is sparsely populated because it is close to the estuary of the Yalu River and the coastline, and the roads are unmasked, which is very difficult to travel. Nikan and his team can never move faster.

It was not until Nikan's outpost leading the way that the pedestrians sent by Lin Qingye to contact the prefect of the Chaoren Yizhou were quickly caught.

In this way, when Nikan, Han Run, Zheng Mingshou and others arrived at the coast with their guards, and then transferred to the warships to board Dongjiang Island, it was already noon.

At this time, the sea breeze had already taken off, and the fog was gradually dissipating. The sun exposed, like a salted egg yolk, hangs hazy in the sky.

Lin Qingye led An Yingchang and other naval generals from the left and right water camps. When he saw the Qing envoy docking on a boat, he was kneeling on the dock in one go.

At this time, the flagship of the turtle ship that Yang Zhen, who was serving as the paddler, was quietly anchored next to the dock.

Through the window hole of the turtle boat bottom cabin, Yang Zhen, Zhang Chen, Ma Keqing and others closely monitored every move there.

Yang Zhen doesn't want to be sold in a mess at this critical moment.

Although he himself knew Lin Qingye's life and deeds and firmly believed that Lin Qingye would not betray him, but he had to be prepared for the time being, and he was always alone.

At this time, he was holding a short-barrel musket with ammunition in his hand, while Zhang Chen and Ma Keqing had already prepared the Flying General and the Scythe Flint, staring at the dock outside the cabin window.

"Haha, it turns out that the Lin Bing Envoy is here. Oh, by the way, haha, I can't call the Lord the Lin Bing Envoy anymore. What's the name now? Lin Tongyu? General Lin?"

After the Manchu Tatars Jing Jin Berenican boarded the Dongjiang Island Pier, he had not spoken yet, but the gangster who was leading the way, walked to Lin Qingye with great strides. He first circled around him twice, and then said such words.

Then, the man turned around and saw An Yingchang at first sight, then laughed, pointed at An Yingchang and said:

"Oh, it's really where we meet in life! Isn't this the commander of the Haizhou military and horse control commander An Bing? Oh, by the way, under the power of our Qing army, An Bing commander escaped and was defeated. It was no longer the commander of the military and horse control commander.

"Yes, yes, yes, I later became the Imperial Camp Qian, right? Haha, what is it now? It's not a small vice general under Tongyu Lin, haha, hehe, hehehe..."

The Chaozhi who was walking in front obviously recognized Lin Qingye and An Yingchang, but when he saw the two of them, he became humiliated in public, completely looking like a villain.

Seeing this person so rude, Lin Qingye just knelt on the ground and bowed his head without saying a word. However, a hint of anger flashed across An Yingchang's face, and he couldn't help but retort:

"It turned out to be Zheng Mingshou - Zheng Tongshi. Master Tongshi was originally from a chauvinist. Today, since he met his old friends in a foreign land, why did he be so mean to his old friends?"

An Yingchang seemed to know that Yang Zhen was hiding in the cabin of the turtle boat on the edge of the dock, as if to let Yang Zhen hear their conversation, he deliberately raised his voice a little.

Yang Zhen also heard their conversation and immediately realized that the person who was ahead was Zheng Mingshou, a famous traitor in history, and he felt a little nervous.

As the saying goes, the King of Hell is good to see, and the little ghosts are difficult to deal with. This sentence is vividly reflected in the relationship between Mi Qing and the people of the Dynasty. The figures who act as difficult ghosts are precisely the traitors who defected to the Qing Dynasty.

"Haha, who is an old friend to you?! I, Zheng Mingshou, has long been the deputy director of the Qing Dynasty's National History Academy, and has long been registered under the Manchurian Zhenghong Banner! An old friend? You are worthy of it too!"
