Chapter 649 The tragedy will not repeat itself

"Absolutely not!"

The Longkou Army officer present roared loudly and overturned the roof: "The tragedy of Caitaogang will definitely not repeat today!"

Caitaogang is a history that everyone present does not want to mention but cannot ignore. This is the greatest shame for Shandong warriors since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. When outsiders talk about Shandong warriors, they will first mention the Battle of Caitaogang during the Jiajing period.

Moreover, the current situation is almost the same as the Battle of Caitaogang. At that time, the Japanese pirates swept across the southeast, and dozens of Japanese pirates often crossed the dozens of prefectures and counties, defeating hundreds of garrison troops.

Under such circumstances, the court saw that the military troops in the garrison were not available, so it mobilized the rural soldiers from all over the country to gather in the southeast, but whether it was the wolf soldiers in Guangxi, the Maohulu soldiers in Henan, or even the Shaolin monk soldiers, the performance was not good on the battlefield, so everyone could only pin their hopes on the brave Shandong spearmen.

When 6,000 Shandong spearmen went south to Songjiang, the world felt that this time the Japanese pirates could no longer be rampant. At least the six,000 Spearmen could stabilize the situation. However, the first battle of Shandong spearmen in the southeast was to let all Shandong warriors be engraved in their hearts forever.

After the Six Thousand Spearmen were first lured and chased by the Japanese pirates to Caitao Port, the army was attacked by a tide due to unfamiliar terrain and failed to form a formation. At this time, sixteen Japanese pirates suddenly came out again, and the entire army was completely destroyed. In the end, the number of dead was as many as two or three thousand, and more than a thousand drowned people alone had drowned.

Governor Yingtian fell for it, and there were several senior generals and officials who died. The Japanese pirate war during the Jiajing period was delayed for several years before it finally ended. Moreover, this battle also made the world look down on Shandong soldiers from then on.

Therefore, Li Xiuwei said while crying: "Mr. Liu, please rest assured. Even if I, Li Xiuwei and Changyi Camp, will not embarrass our Shandong men!"

Liu Peng also wiped away his tears and said, "I know, but I must warn everyone at the end that failure can have countless excuses. Just like the Caitaogang Battle back then, we can find countless adverse factors for this failure, and we can find countless excuses for this, but failure is failure!"

"No excuse can change the fact of failure. I, Liu Peng, hope that all my brothers will fight with me in this battle, so that the world can know that I, the Liaodong athlete, must not be ignored!"

"Okay!" The two hands tightened: "Let the world know the reputation of our Shandong athletes!"

"Let the world know the reputation of our Shandong athletes!"

Ding Zihang, Liu Peng's literary courage, also used this caliber to promote it. Anyway, Shandong Liaodong was originally a province, and Liaodong officers and soldiers were also from Shandong. However, he not only repeated the history of Caitaogang and some humiliation and glory, but also found many Liaodong refugees to accuse Nurhaci and Jurchen soldiers of various crimes in Liaodong.

Although the ideological work of the patrol team was done vividly in the past, everyone was thinking of fighting a war with a salary for Liu Pengliu. But now Ding Zihang put forward a loud slogan: "Fight for China!"

That’s right! Fight for China, fight for China’s destiny!

Listening to the refugees in Liaodong, telling their tragic stories in tears, talking about their happy life being destroyed by this war, their wives, children, fathers and brothers all died under the swords and their homes were destroyed, and the Ming Dynasty's official army was vulnerable. After experiencing countless escapes, they suddenly fled to the sea. Now there is finally a chance to tell their own story. The officers and soldiers below roared in waves, but later they hugged each other and cried bitterly, all remembering their tragic life, and thinking about the disasters they might encounter after the failure of this battle.

The entire Guanglu Island was covered with crying, and everyone was crying and roaring, but the last voice formed a loud voice: "Kill Jiannu!"

"That's right, you must kill all Jiannu!" Liu Peng shouted to thousands of soldiers: "If we lose this battle, the current experience of Liaodong will repeat itself in the entire Shandong and the whole world, so the fate of the world will be decided by us!"

"Kill Jiannu!"

It was not the Jurchen Tartars that the first person to suffer from this heavy pressure in southern Liaoning, but Li Yongfang.

Since the failure to siege the Dongshan Mine Pupil, he and Abatai are preparing to revive the offensive to conquer Dongshan in one fell swoop. What he did not expect was that he had not yet troubled the Dongshan Mine Pupil. He went to the new land, Heiqi Camp and Heishan Camp, and Dongshan Mine Pupils first asked him for trouble. He would besiege Li Yongfang's headquarters as soon as he caught the opportunity.

Li Yongfang became the primary target of the Longkou Army in Gaizhou. The Longkou Army even attached great importance to him more than Abatai's Jurchen Tartars. Although Li Yongfang promised to do many evil deeds, there were too many enemies on the other side. Almost as soon as his and his banner appeared, all the main forces were siegeing him.

In just a few days, Li Yongfang lost nearly a hundred troops. Although he knelt in front of Abatai and shouted Ama for a long time, he finally made Abatai nod and agreed to fill all his vacancy, but how could these newly replenished recruits be compared to the Han soldiers that Li Yongfang had spent all his efforts to preserve. It was easy to use.

But Abatai was happy about this kind of thing. He felt that since the Heishan Camp and the Heiqi Camp concentrated their hatred on Li Yongfang, the Eight Banners Army would definitely gain a big advantage. He comforted Li Yongfang and said, "Mr. Concubine, don't worry too much about this matter. The island thief from Longkou is so big, and his father Khan will definitely not sit idly by. Then it will be their death date!"

Gaizhou is only two or three hundred miles away from Liaoyang, and Liaoyang is now the capital of the Jurchens. How could Nurhaci allow the capital to be so largely located two or three hundred miles away. There is such a large-scale Ming army openly in broad daylight.

But Li Yongfang cried and said, "Ama, the problem now is not that the island thieves and the Dongshan thieves come to cause trouble for me, but that even the Geizhou thieves come to take advantage of me!"

It turned out that Nurhaci and Abatai's wishful thinking was to use Li Yongfang's new Mongolian and Han army as the main force to maintain southern Liaoning. However, Gaizhou lacked food, so only nearly a thousand people led by Li Yongfang were left behind. Now Li Yongfang is being beaten everywhere, so the other Han and Mongolian new army naturally dare not show up.

After all, Li Yongfang is the one with the most powerful troops in this servant army. Now even the local Gaizhou Yishang was like a chicken blood when he heard Li Yongfang's name. He must rush up to find trouble for Li Yongfang.

Li Yongfang is now on the battlefield but often dares not even fight the banner, for fear of being subject to the key siege of the Longkou Army. Under such circumstances, the entire Han and Mongolian New Army not only lost nearly half of its troops on the battlefield, but also had low morale and fled a lot, and did not dare to fight head-on with the Longkou Army, which left Abatai fighting alone on the battlefield.

After hearing Li Yongfang complaining, Abatai immediately said, "Don't worry, son-in-law, I will ask my father Khan to transfer the Mongolian and Han horse team of Wuergudai's prince, and then let Lao Ba return all the 300 armored soldiers he borrowed. There will definitely be no problem in Gaizhou!"

"If Lao Ba hadn't borrowed all the three hundred soldiers in my account without saying a word, how could the situation in Gaizhou be at this point?"

Speaking of Huang Taiji who borrowed all the three hundred armored soldiers under his command, Nurhaci had transferred hundreds of armored soldiers of Abatai before. Now, there are six Niulu under Abatai's name, but there are only hundreds of Jurchen Tartars who can actually fight. They lack military rations and horse materials, which is not enough to attack Dongshan to solve the problem of the righteous soldiers of Gaizhou. Abatai was full of anger: "Son-in-law, follow your method and you must teach Lao Ba a lesson!"

But now there is a jubilation on the Dongshan Mountain. Whether it is Li Yuchun, Ji Jinsi or Huo Qiu, everyone is smiling: "After packing up Li Yongfang, it will be Abatai, the dog Tartar!"

Whether it is the Heishan Camp or the Heiqi Camp, the main components are the children of Liaodong, not to mention the Dongshan Mine disciples and the Gaizhou Yishang soldiers, almost 100% of them are locals in Gaizhou. Therefore, although Huo Qiu took away the highest command, the atmosphere on Dongshan is very good and harmonious.

Huo Qiu also thought Ji Jinsi's method was good: "I beat Li Yongfang down, and now only Abatai is left to support him, but can he hold on by himself?"

Now the Gaizhou Rebel Army has completed a thorough alliance. Even the most independent soldiers or those who claim to maintain neutrality at any time, they are now willing to obey Huo's dispatch. Although Liu Peng was only experienced by Weihaiwei and was not easy to give everyone a formal name, everyone knows that the mainstay of Gaizhou's resistance to the Jin Dynasty was the Longkou Army.

Although the court can give everyone a high reputation, it cannot solve all the problems that everyone urgently needs at the moment. Longkou can continuously transport troops, grain, beans, weapons, military funds, and medicinal materials from Changsheng Island. The Ming Dynasty could not give anything except a short title.

Therefore, Abatai had only a few hundred real Tatars and several guards in his hands, as well as a few coats of arms. As soon as he went to war, he was often trapped in the vast ocean of people's war and had to face at least one or two sieges of righteous soldiers. In this case, although Abatai was known for his bravery, he did not dare to leave Gaizhou City too far, but could only ask Nurhaci for support.

"Abatai will definitely not be able to hold on!" Li Yuchun said excitedly: "Don't talk about Abatai. After taking down Gaizhou City, General Huo and General Ji should not forget to say a few good things for me, Li Yuchun, in Liuxue."

He had made up his mind to hand over all the Dongshan Mine disciples and the Gaizhou Yishang to Liu Peng, rather than to Huo Qiu and Ji Jinsi, who were also from Liaodong. However, Ji Jinsi and Huo Qiu did not understand his wishful thinking.

"Brother Li, of course there is nothing to say. We are our own people!"
