The coastal islands of the Liaodong Peninsula, as well as the Yalu River outlet and the Sinuiju coast of North Korea, were all within the sphere of influence of Dongjiang Town at the beginning.
Even places such as Jinzhou in the Liaodong Peninsula are also the territory of Dongjiang Town.
However, later on, first Jinzhou and other places were captured by Jianlu, and then Jianlu used the North Korean navy to attack Pidao and severely damaged the Dongjiang Ming army.
In the end, when there was civil strife in Dongjiang Town, you killed me, and I killed you for a while, and then one after another went to join Jianlu.
Among them, Shang Kexi swept the soldiers and civilians from all the coastal islands and went to join Jianlu.
However, no matter how hard Shang Kexi swept away, there were still some soldiers and civilians who were unwilling to join the feuding Jianlu and were hiding.
The coastal islands are all very large, and hiding them is not a problem at all for a small number of people.
They can just hide on the island and grow some food, and then go to the beach to pick up some food. The only regret for them is that they can only live like this in this life, let alone revenge against Jianlu, they will die.
Even after death, there is no way to return to one’s roots and return to his hometown in Liaodong. Li Erniu is one of such people.
On this day, taking advantage of the low tide, he took a few boys from his family out to catch the sea as usual.
Of course, just in case, he did not dare to go to the coastline on the side of the Liaodong Peninsula, but went to the opposite side.
Life on the island was very difficult. The three children, including himself, had only a fig leaf around their waists and bare feet, picking up seafood in the rocky areas.
Crabs don’t have meat, so don’t want them.
The small fish is too small, and if it can be released, it should be at least a slightly larger fish.
When the tide recedes, these silly fish fall into rock crevices or ponds and have no time to recede, becoming Li Erniu’s meal.
If he were not afraid of being discovered by others on the island, he could guarantee that with any care, the harvest from the low tide would be much greater than this.
Li Erniu was picking up seafood, distinguishing between poisonous and non-poisonous, while his children, although they were also picking up, were mostly playing around. This is the nature of seven or eight-year-old children.
Suddenly, one of his children shouted loudly: "Dad, look, there is a boat!"
"Wow, there are so many boats!" Another of his children also exclaimed in surprise.
When Li Erniu heard this, he was immediately excited and quickly looked up. Sure enough, in the direction of the open sea, he could vaguely see many ships, coming in this direction.
Upon seeing this, his expression changed, and he immediately shouted to his children: "Quick, run, tell your mother, Erwa and the rest of the family to hide as soon as possible!"
After hearing this, his three children hurriedly ran to the depths of the island. Although they were in a rocky area, they were jumping on the rocks at a very fast speed.
Even while running, they turned their heads curiously to look at the ships on the sea.
When Li Erniu saw them, he immediately shouted and told them to leave quickly.
And he himself immediately scanned the surroundings to see if there were any traces left, and then ran away with the fish basket.
He was not going to go back directly, but hid to see what the purpose of this fleet was? Was it passing by or something?
At the same time, he was also very curious. How many years had passed? Ever since General Shang Shen took away the soldiers and civilians and set fire to the houses on the island, he had never seen the fleet come over again.
Where did this fleet come from?
In his mind, he naturally had an estimate. In Liaodong, there were basically only Jianlu ships or Korean ships. Anyway, they couldn't be Ming ships.
No matter which side you are on, you can hide whenever you can, and you must not be discovered by them.
After about half an hour, this huge fleet finally slowly docked.
Li Erniu, who had been staring in the dark, couldn't believe the crowd that appeared on the boat... all of them were wearing red Ming Dynasty military uniforms!
This is impossible!
Are you dazzled?
As more and more people emerged from the ship, and even after the ship docked, there were still people getting off the ship, all wearing red Ming Dynasty military uniforms. Li Erniu finally gave up rubbing his eyes and confirmed the fleet.
, definitely the imperial fleet.
One thing is quite strange.
This fleet seems to know where to dock on the island, and there must be people there who have been to this island.
Thinking like this, he thought of a possibility, is this a soldier of the imperial court from Dongjiang Town?
But, this is impossible!
As a member of the army and civilians of Dongjiang Town at the time, he knew very well what the trouble in Dongjiang Town was like back then.
Since the death of Marshal Mao, there has been civil strife. You kill me, I will kill you, but you will no longer kill Jianlu.
After the killing, not only did people lose their hearts, but they even went to join Jianlu, who had a bloody feud.
Now you want to say that the imperial officers and soldiers in Dongjiang Town are back again. How is this possible?
Absolutely impossible!
However, the facts are before our eyes. Groups of Ming troops disembarked from the ships, and there were even many war horses.
Gu Nian
Li Erniu could see from Li Erniu's perspective that these people and horses had been on a sea ship for a long time, so they were not in very good condition after landing ashore and needed to rest.
With so many boats, there was simply not enough shore to dock them, so many boats docked on the beach.
Li Erniu was watching, and suddenly, a voice came from behind him: "Who are you?"
Hearing this, Li Er Newton was shocked. When he turned around, he saw several strangers wearing water jackets, pointing daggers at him.
These strangers are Han at first glance. Judging from their accents and appearance, they seem to be from the South.
Moreover, the attitudes of these people are not harsh, they are even kinder, and they are also a little curious.
Seeing this situation, Li Erniu understood in his heart and quickly replied: "I am from Dongjiang Town. I didn't want to join Jianlu. I hid and stayed on the island."
Li Erniu's hairstyle can prove that his words are not false!
After hearing this, the leader immediately laughed and said in Mandarin with an accent: "If you have the guts, let's go, our commander has something to ask you!"
After hearing this, Li Erniu was not afraid, but asked curiously: "How did you know I was hiding here?"
"Haha, the commander has already seen you through his clairvoyance. How many other children are there? Are they your children?"
"..." Li Erniu was dumbfounded and didn't understand what this clairvoyance was.
However, he didn't care about this and just asked: "What are you here for? Are you fighting against the rebels?"
"Haha, if you don't come to fight Jianlu, then why are we here?"
When Li Erniu heard this, he was happy at first, and then said worriedly: "But Jianlu is not easy to fight, they are very powerful!"
"Haha, are you an old man? You probably don't know that the imperial court has defeated Jianlu twice, killing hundreds of thousands of Jianlu!"
"..." Li Erniu was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Then he came back to his senses and said immediately, "Impossible!"
"What's impossible? Aixinjueluo Abatai and Aixinjueluo Azig are both in the capital!"
"What?" Li Erniu was shocked when he heard this. His eyes were wide open with a look of disbelief on his face, "Ai... Aisin Gioro's surname?"
"Of course, that Aisin Gioro Azig seems to be from Jianlu, Prince Shuoying!"
Li Erniu was very unimaginable when he heard this. In his opinion, all the royal family of Jianlu were killed by the imperial court? This was even more shocking to him than the sun rising from the west.
After all, it has always been the Jianlu who chased and killed the Ming army. Here in Dongjiang Town, even at its peak, they only avoided the main force of the Jianlu and attacked the local Jianlu.
However, even a Jianlu like Prince He Shuoying was captured by the imperial court and imprisoned in the capital. So it seems that it is not impossible to kill hundreds of thousands of Jianlu!
However, this seems incredible!
In Li Erniu's dazed state, he was brought to Zheng Zhilong and Wu Sangui.
Zheng Zhilong did not ask first, but Wu Sangui asked.
Hearing the questions from the court general with a Liaodong accent, Li Erniu came back to his senses. Regardless of etiquette, he stared at Wu Sangui and asked: "Can the court really defeat the Jianlu and recover Liaodong?"
"Of course!" Wu Sangui replied a little unhappy after hearing this.
Two major victories were achieved, but the opportunity to capture the enemy chief alive slipped away before his eyes. Otherwise, he would have stopped by to say something.
After hearing this, Li Erniu couldn't help crying with joy, and his face immediately burst into tears.
I thought that was it for this life, but I didn’t expect that there would be a day of revenge and the expectation of returning to my homeland!
Returning to my hometown, returning to the hometown that I have always dreamed of, has become possible!
"Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the officers and soldiers of the imperial court today are far from what they used to be. Don't worry, Liaodong will still belong to the imperial court sooner or later!"
When Li Erniu heard the familiar accent, he looked up and was shocked. He pointed at the person who just spoke and said: "Kong...Kong..."
Kong Youde used to be the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, and he knew him. Of course, Kong Youde didn't know him.
At this time, he didn't know what to call Kong Youde, because he heard that Kong Youde had already defected to Jianlu, and it was only to his delight that he defected to Jianlu.
"They all have a blood feud with Jianlu. If I have the chance, of course I will kill Jianlu!" Kong Youde said as he spoke, pointing at Wu Sangui and saying, "This is the emperor's new commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, Marshal Wu. Why don't you answer quickly?"
Marshal Wu’s words are an opportunity for revenge!”
When Li Erniu heard this, he nodded repeatedly.
Unfortunately, Wu Sangui asked a lot of questions, including the situation of Jianlu in Jinzhou, but Li Erniu couldn't answer them.
However, Li Erniu volunteered and said that he could lead the imperial officers and soldiers to the shore to capture prisoners.
To be honest, Wu Sangui was a little worried about letting Kong Youde capture the prisoners. After all, Kong Youde had taken refuge with Jianlu and became the king there. But he was relieved about Li Erniu.
So, the army rested on the island, while Li Erniu took Zheng Zhilong's men and took advantage of the cover of night to capture the prisoners and return to the island.
