Wu Sangui himself did not express his opinion, but only asked Kong Youde next to him.
When coming from Dengzhou, Wu Sangui advocated taking advantage of this opportunity that Jianlu didn't know about to catch Jianlu off guard, so he chose to conquer a city first, and then occupy Pi Island, Guanglu Island and other islands to rebuild the Dongjiang River.
town.
Zheng Zhilong didn't care about this. His main task was to transport Wu Sangui's army and clean up the North Korean navy that could threaten the imperial army on the island.
To him, it didn't matter whether he raided the North Korean navy or not.
No, while discussing the military situation, he was drinking tea by himself.
When Kong Youde heard Wu Sangui's question, he did not dare to neglect, and quickly replied: "Jinzhouwei is a grain-producing land. According to the prisoners' confessions, it is mainly cultivated by Koreans. Before we came, the people who built the Eight Banners
, a lot of them just happened to be transferred away. Therefore, the villain thinks that this battle can be fought openly, or even bluffing, thinking that the imperial army is attacking in a large scale, so as to create momentum!"
After a pause, he immediately explained: "North Koreans are the most intolerant of fighting. As long as the imperial officers and soldiers show up, they will definitely run away and the panic will be brought out! The Jianlu who defended the city probably did not dare to defend the city. The strength of the troops
Too few. If we really want to defend, we can use the Hongyi cannons to surround three and one, but we can still blast them away!"
Wu Sangui listened and was noncommittal.
The imperial court asked him to rebuild Dongjiang Town in order to contain the Jianlu from the east of Liaodong. In this way, the greater the movement, the better the effect. Kong Youde's suggestions were based on this idea. It does not mean that it is really necessary.
Capture the Golden State and hold it.
Kong Youde seemed dissatisfied when he saw Wu Sangui's appearance. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Wu Sangui: "If the commander-in-chief wants a bigger one, I suggest that the navy...the navy go ashore and surround him."
Live in Jinzhou, then the cavalry rushes into the hinterland of Liaodong, crosses Heishan, goes to Xinjin, and goes to Fuxian, destroying Jianlu's farming along the Fuzhou River. Then it goes around the Biliu River Basin and fights back, starting from Chengzi Tan, Hong
Fight back to Jinzhou in the direction of Zuibao, and finally join the navy and sail away!"
He spoke and gestured.
It had to be said that Kong Youde was very familiar with the Liaodong Peninsula. Seeing Wu Sangui showing interest, he explained in more detail.
They talked about how much farmland there was, what the approximate population was, what kind of roads there were, and what should be paid attention to.
Wu Sangui had never been here before. Therefore, he listened very carefully.
With three thousand Guan Ning cavalry in his hands, he was really unwilling to achieve the maximum result without making any big fuss!
Especially being stimulated by Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo and others made Wu Sangui want to make great achievements.
At this time, when he heard about it, he asked Kong Youde: "How is Gaizhou? Can you go over and knock on it?"
"No!" Kong Youde heard this and quickly replied, "The commander's cavalry does not consist of one person and two horses. If they want to march to Gaizhou, the horses will be tired. And Haizhou is only one hundred and twenty years away from Gaizhou.
It’s more than ten miles away. I don’t know what’s going on in Gaizhou, but Haizhou is definitely stationed with the main force of Jianlu. After hearing the news, if the Eight Banners of Mongolia are sent out, I’m worried that the commander-in-chief will suffer a loss!”
"Oh?" Wu Sangui heard this, thought about it, then turned to look at Zheng Zhilong who was drinking tea, and asked him, "Old Zheng, can you cooperate with me in this battle? Help me block the Jinzhou side first.
!”
Kong Youde couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard him talking to Zheng Zhilong so politely.
When he was still with the Ming Army, or before that, the navy had always been a vassal of the army. After surrendering from the Jianlu side, it was impossible for him to understand much given his status.
To be honest, Kong Youde was still a little puzzled as to why the name of a good navy should be changed to navy. As a result, Wu Sangui was so polite to Zheng Zhilong!
He didn't know clearly, but Wu Sangui knew very well that he didn't pay attention to the idea of equal emphasis on the navy and the army. What he valued was Zheng Zhilong.
Zheng Zhilong's son is already the commander of Jinyiwei, and is also in charge of the Jiangnan Procurement Yamen.
Also, Wu Sangui knew from various channels that he was not even as important as Zheng Zhilong in the eyes of the current emperor. Therefore, he would only instigate Zheng Zhilong if his brain was caught in the door.
When Zheng Zhilong heard Wu Sangui's question, he put down the teapot and asked with a smile: "You really want to make a big fuss, are you sure?"
From the beginning, Wu Sangui said that he would win Jinzhou first, but now he has changed his mind and wants a bigger one. Zheng Zhilong can feel that Wu Sangui is eager to achieve success!
"Jianlu's attention must be on the front line of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, otherwise, they would not have transferred troops from Jinzhou." After hearing this, Wu Sangui hurriedly explained, "They certainly would not have thought that we would come across the sea, let alone
I never thought that I would have three thousand cavalry in my hands. I think I can give it a try!"
After hearing this, Zheng Zhilong nodded and said: "Well, it's the first time that the two of us have cooperated. In the future, my fourth brother will work with you, so don't worry, just leave Jinzhou to me!"
He also heard it when interrogating the prisoners. As there were less than 200 Jianlu soldiers in Jinzhou City, he really didn't care much.
Wu Sangui was very happy to hear that Zheng Zhilong agreed. After thanking Zheng Zhilong, he began to discuss specific matters.
After everything was discussed, he avoided Kong Youde and found Li Erniu and other islanders to verify the situation again.
Although they have not been to the mainland, they may have been there before, and the terrain will not change, so it is still useful to verify.
After finding no problem, Wu Sangui found courage and made the decision not to attack Jinzhou but to attack with cavalry troops to sweep away the surrounding captive territories.
In order to prevent the news from leaking, Wu Sangui first sent Ye Wushou ashore, went around to the rear of Jinzhou, and cut off the road before letting Zheng Zhilong transport the cavalry ashore.
A crop of wheat has already grown in the fields in Jinzhou. It is estimated that it will be harvested in more than a month, that is, around the middle of June on the lunar calendar.
Many Koreans go to the fields early in the morning to work and tend wheat.
On this day, what shocked them was that they saw countless Ming troops appearing in the direction of the seaside.
After they came to their senses, they all screamed in fear and hurriedly fled towards Jinzhou City.
For them, the Ming Army was not a good opponent. At least the former Dongjiang Army was not polite to the Koreans.
Now, they have all taken refuge with Jianlu, their hair has been cut into money rat tails, and they have become the mortal enemies of the Ming army. If they are not careful, their lives will be handed down here, so what are they doing if they are not afraid?
The rumble of horse hoofbeats and the chaos of Koreans naturally alarmed the Jianlu in Jinzhou City.
Needless to say, I was shocked and stunned!
Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that the Ming Cavalry would actually appear in Jinzhou!
You know, when the Dongjiang Army was at its peak, there were no cavalry troops!
About an hour later, the Ming army surrounded Jinzhou and captured the Koreans outside the city, about a thousand or so.
Basically, few Koreans outside the city escaped back to Jinzhou City.
The Koreans were escorted onto the ship and sent to the island. Zheng Zhilong's sailors came ashore and fired several Hongyi cannons, blocking Jinzhou's retreat.
According to the plan, Kong Youde stayed in Jinzhou and assisted Zheng Zhilong in the siege.
As for Wu Sangui himself, he took Li Erniu and other islanders, led the cavalry, and began to raid the boundaries of Fuzhou.
Not to mention, Wu Sangui is indeed very courageous.
After he passed Xiaoheishan, he began to divide his troops into teams, each with hundreds of people in a team, supporting each other and sweeping across the wilderness.
Anyone who cannot speak Chinese will be killed; all crops will be destroyed; wells, rivers and other places will be destroyed if they can be destroyed.
Three thousand cavalry, one hundred cavalry in a group, dispersed and destroyed. The momentum was absolutely astonishing.
Caught off guard, Jianlu could only defend Xinjin and Fuzhou cities, and a few other forts. Fortunately, they were not captured by the cavalry. All other places were destroyed.
Wu Sangui was also considered to be an expert in military matters. He knew very well that he was a very fast soldier. With the mobility of the cavalry, he almost never stopped and fought in all directions.
In this way, it was as if the Ming army descended from the sky, and the entire Liaodong was dominated by the Ming cavalry. The prisoners in these places were hiding in the city, either angry or afraid. In short, they just couldn't figure out the situation. What was going on?
thing?
Wu Sangui's forward even reached the vicinity of Xiong Yueyi, which was less than 80 miles away from Gaizhou Guard, and wreaked havoc before turning back.
Needless to say, if the local area has the ability to send troops to ask for reinforcements, they will naturally send troops to ask for reinforcements as soon as possible.
On Xiong Yueyi's side, hurry up and report to Gaizhou.
When Gaizhou heard this, they were so frightened that they did not dare to send reinforcements at all. They only sent out their scouting horses to inquire about the situation of the Ming army that descended from the sky, while also flying quickly to report to Haizhou.
Jierhalang, Prince Heshuo and Zheng who built the captives, guarded Haizhou and had more troops. When he heard that there were many Ming cavalry in Gaizhou and Fuzhou, he was naturally very surprised and immediately sent 5,000 cavalry to Gaizhou.
At the same time, he felt that the situation was a bit complicated, so he also reported the latest situation to Shengjing.
Dorgon was shocked when he received the news. Although there was no more news, he still judged that the Ming cavalry that suddenly arrived should have crossed the sea.
The first possibility was that he thought of Dongjiang Town in the Ming Dynasty. And he quickly judged that it was time for the Ming Dynasty to rebuild Dongjiang Town!
This judgment made Dorgon feel shocked but also a little relieved.
The reason why he was shocked was because he had previously judged that the Ming Kingdom no longer had a navy. As a result, it now appears that the Ming Kingdom not only had a navy, but it could even transport cavalry across the sea. The capability of this navy was even greater than before.
Are going to be stronger!
As for having a sense of peace of mind, it's actually very simple.
