The Jianlu people were so numerous that they didn't need to worry about anything, so almost everyone had a torch and lit the road brightly on their way.
They did the same thing when chasing the New Army before. Because of this, although the New Army used the golden cicada to escape its shell and left two days early, they were almost overtaken by them in the end.
On the boat, Zhong Jinwei saw Jianlu on the shore heading downstream with a torch, and knew that his intentions had been seen through by Jianlu.
But it doesn't matter, at least it has been delayed until dark. Even if Jianlu marched with torches, it would not be as fast as when the daylight was bright.
But Zhong Jinwei is still a little worried and doesn't know what the situation is like downstream.
At that moment, Zhong Jinwei also ordered the fleet to go downstream. If there was a problem, at least he could see what could be done.
However, Zhong Jinwei soon received bad news. Information from all fleets was gathered to Zhong Jinwei, saying that there was insufficient gunpowder and could not sustain a war.
After so many days of consumption on the land of Liaodong, the gunpowder has almost been used. Although some gunpowder was also found when Shengjing was captured, the quality was much worse than the New Army's own gunpowder, so those
The gunpowder was destroyed by Zhong Jinwei and was useless.
In fact, it is conceivable that once the Ming army's gunpowder, including firearms, were strictly controlled, the Jianlu themselves and some of the craftsmen they plundered would not be able to compare with the real craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty.
Once civilization progresses to a certain stage, as long as he does not commit suicide, the farming civilization will definitely defeat the nomads. This may not be clear to people at the time, but Zhong Jinwei knew it.
Therefore, when Zhong Jinwei asked the Bingzhan Bureau to provide firearms and gunpowder, they were implemented in accordance with the strictest standards. The New Army's firearms are powerful. In addition to Zhong Jinwei's proper use, their quality is also very important.
Among the news reported, there was another piece of bad news. After the fleet went downstream, the soldiers all relaxed, and fatigue immediately swept over everyone uncontrollably. Most of the soldiers, at this time
He had already fallen asleep. Soldiers were lying everywhere, whether in the cabin or on the deck.
Zhong Jinwei sighed silently, knowing that everyone was indeed tired. This victory in Liaodong, others thought it was the result of a sneak attack, and it came easily.
But Zhong Jinwei knew in his heart that if the soldiers were not elite, they would dare to fight; if it were not for Lu Xiangsheng becoming a soldier, it would not be for the great reputation Lu Xiangsheng left among Jianlu; if it were not for Jianlu not knowing the existence of the new army, and using a combination of light and dark to fight
Law; if God had not cooperated, no matter which step went wrong, this operation would not be so successful, and the entire army might even be annihilated on the land of Liaodong.
Zhong Jinwei stood on the bow of the ship, looking at the long fire dragon on the shore, thinking that the Ming Dynasty actually had so many outstanding soldiers and generals. If the Ming Dynasty really wanted to show its true strength, how could these captives on the shore be possible?
Will give full credit to Chapter 622
Disaster in Liaodong.
When I traveled through time, I must eliminate the internal friction of the Ming Dynasty, tie up the interests of most people, and let them focus on the outside world.
No matter which direction the Ming Dynasty goes, there are enough benefits to be obtained. It’s just that people in this era don’t know where the benefits are. Only those from later generations understand.
Therefore, I must guide them and guide the Ming Dynasty to develop the east, west, north, and south of the Ming Dynasty, and build an empire that will make the Chinese nation proud of future generations.
At this stage, there is already such a thing, which binds the interests of almost everyone, that is, the feudal feudal overseas affairs of the feudal princes and clans.
Doing so can first release a large amount of land and alleviate some of the conflicts of land annexation; secondly, it can transfer part of the Ming Dynasty population and alleviate the famine problem caused by the reduction in food production caused by the Little Ice Age; and finally it can also alleviate the financial pressure on the imperial court.
, while reducing the possibility of rebellion by the feudal king.
This matter must be done well, and the first step towards the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty will be taken.
As for the future, Zhong Jinwei thought of this and looked at the ships around him. He was fighting for supremacy in Southeast Asia. How could he be coveted by Westerners on the side of his bed?
Zhong Jinwei was thinking about it when he suddenly felt a headache and his vision was a little blurry. He couldn't help but reach out and hit his head to calm down.
"Master Hou, what's wrong?" Gu Baichuan and Lu Xiangsheng both noticed Zhong Jinwei's movements and asked with concern.
Zhong Jinwei looked sideways at the two of them, regardless of whether they could see clearly or not, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just thinking about something."
"Master Marquis, why don't you go to the cabin and take a rest first, and then I'll report to you if anything happens." Gu Baichuan said still a little worried. During the day, he discovered that something was not right with Marquis Zhongxing.
Zhong Jinwei shook his head and said, "It's okay. Let's wait until we see the situation downstream."
He insisted that the others could not say anything and could only stay with him silently.
The fleet's sailing speed was not fast, but in any case, it was faster than Jianlu who was rushing along the shore with torches. The fleet gradually surpassed the forefront of Jianlu and headed downstream.
Suddenly, the people on the fleet saw lights on the bank of the Yalu River in front of them. They were obviously torches and the like, and slowly there were more and more lights.
When people on the shore saw the fleet of boats going down the Yalu River, they all waved torches in greeting.
Zhong Jinwei ordered the people on the boat to wave torches in response, and then continued downstream. Because Zhong Jinwei didn't care about them, he cared about those further downstream.
"Master Marquis, when Jianlu saw them, I'm afraid he would be so angry that he would jump up and down again." Lu Xiangsheng said with a smile.
"It's better to be angry to death, so you don't have to worry!" Zhong Jinwei replied casually.
Not long after, Jianlu's vanguard also discovered the fire on the shore, and as expected they were so angry that they screamed.
Across the Yalu River, you can still faintly hear Chapter 622: Full Work
The Chinese language coming from the other side seemed to be shouting something to this side.
Unwilling to let it go, Jianlu speeded up and headed downstream.
Zhong Jinwei discovered the Han people who had not yet crossed the river before Jianlu. Judging from the number of torches, there were not many people who had not yet crossed the river.
It turns out that the military order issued by the Zhong Jinwei Clippers was for the fleet to transport the Han civilians to the other side first, avoid the pursuit of Jianlu, and then slowly transport them to the island.
Although there are many ships, and there are also ships coming from the island one after another, there are so many people in Liao that it will take a lot of time even just to transport them to the other side.
Fortunately, the Liao people acted in an organized manner and obeyed their respective leading Ming soldiers. They were orderly and not chaotic. Otherwise, there would be even more people who did not cross the river.
Zhong Jinwei looked back at the direction Jianlu came from. Judging from the firelight, Jianlu seemed to have noticed the movement here and was speeding up.
He estimated the distance and the speed of the ships, and decisively ordered: "The fleet moves closer and pulls more people up."
There are already troops on the ship, what should we do? Just squeeze in and it will be fine!
What should I do if the boat can't get close to the shore? Let those who know how to swim take off their armor and swim over.
Zhong Jinwei kept giving orders, and he cooperated with the transport fleet to evacuate all the Han people. Only when Jianlu arrived, he could only stare blankly.
The people on the boat, whether they were Han civilians or soldiers, all laughed at the Jianlu on the shore, and shouted together what Zhong Jinwei had taught them to shout before.
Zhong Jinwei looked at the staring Jianlu on the shore and listened to the cheerful shouts of the people on the boat. He couldn't help but feel relieved. He finally did his best.
As soon as his mind relaxed, he suddenly felt dizzy and fell down immediately.
