Chapter 289 All the way to the north, the momentum is like a broken bamboo!

Zhao Dezhi took the lead in with his men. After entering, he found that two servants were lying softly at the door. △, the previous nine-headed bird was extremely powerful, and he knocked down the two servants guarding the door without making any sound.

"Akton slept in the east wing, come with me!" Li Yifeng whispered, leading the way first.

Batu and others sighed that these nine-headed birds were so familiar with Akton's house, but they quickly followed.

Li Yifeng and others had already figured out the layout of Akden's house and the usual situation of guards. Therefore, the action went smoothly. They easily solved several servants who had known each other along the way and directly touched outside the east wing.

There were still lights in the room, and the sounds of men and women came from time to time.

Li Yifeng looked at Zhao Dezhi, "It's him, Akton's voice."

"That's good." Li Yifeng made several gestures, asking everyone to quickly surround the east wing. When everything was ready, Batu kicked the door first. The strong Mongolian man kicked the door bolt and rushed in with his men.

In the room, Niu Lu Zhangjing Akton, who was stationed in Lushun, was having fun with his beloved Korean concubine. Unexpectedly, a large group of people rushed in. The loud noise made him scared and rolled off the bed and became impotence on the spot.

As soon as he reached his hand to the knife beside the bed, Batu's scimitar was already directly pressing on his butt, less than half an inch from his anus.

"You move and you will poke you over!" Batu snorted coldly.

Akdun was lying on the bed naked and reached for the knife, slowly turned his head. He saw the familiar people, Batu, Zhao Dezhi and several Mongolian and Han officers.

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Dezhi came forward and glanced at him coldly, "If you want to survive, be obedient."

Seeing Zhao Dezhi's fierce eyes, Akton's eyes finally showed a look of fear.

"Whatever you ask me to do. I'm obedient."

"Luck your sealing flag to use it."

"It's in the study." Akton said quickly. Li Yifeng quickly sent someone to pick it up, but he found it. After getting the sealing flag, this Akton was useless. Zhao Dezhi looked at Li Yifeng, and Li Yifeng nodded.

Zhao Dezhi took two steps forward, covered Akton's mouth, and then broke his neck. "I don't want to stain my knife!"

With the seal and the inscription flag, the next thing went smoother. They first used the inscription flag to open the camp gate of 200 Korean soldiers, and then captured the Korean soldiers in the barracks. Then they used the seal to take over the city gates and fortresses everywhere. In the end, six hundred Mongolian and Han soldiers rushed into the barracks of Manchus.

Many Manchu soldiers had not yet understood what had happened. Under the raid of the Mongolian and Han soldiers, which were three times more than they had, they had no time to wear armor or form teams.

More importantly, although these Manchu soldiers were fierce, among the Han and Mongolian raiders, there were at least hundreds of people wearing blue clothes, all equipped with two short hand guns, which were one gun from afar.

In a moment when they rushed in, at least forty or fifty brave Qing soldiers were knocked to the ground. Under the suppression of these musketeers, other Han and Mongolian soldiers rushed forward. In less than half an hour, all 200 soldiers were killed.

After killing all the Jurchen soldiers in Lushun, Batu and Zhao Dezhi began to search and chase the other Jurchens in Lushun. None of them were allowed to be soldiers, family members, or businessmen, no one of them was spared, no one of them was a soldier, women and children.

Even the 200 Korean soldiers were killed in the end. All of the Han and Mongolian soldiers who became more and more killed were killed.

When the Beiyang Navy Fleet arrived at the Lushunkou, Lushun had been taken down. Liu Jun did not immediately let the fleet enter the port, but stayed more than ten miles outside the port, and first sent a small force to quietly sail into the port by boat.

Soon, they sent a message back.

Lushun has already taken it down, and Lushun City and port dock are all in control.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the 13th year of Chongzhen, only six days passed since the nine-headed bird set out from Huangzhou. Liu Jun took an army of 30,000 to enter the port of Lushun, Liaodong, on a warship.

Before the arrival of the Jiutou Army, the Intelligence Department had already captured Lushun through the Mongolian and Han officers who had instigated the rebellion.

When he heard that Batu and Zhao Dezhi killed 200 Jurchen soldiers, 200 Korean soldiers, as well as about 1,000 Jurchens and Korean merchants in Lushun City, Liu Jun frowned, but in the end he said nothing. He killed him and killed him, and there was nothing worthy of special sympathy.

When the Qing army conquered Pi Island the year before yesterday, Ajiqiao slaughtered the island because the Ming army on the island did not surrender, killing more than 10,000 Ming troops on the island, and the people on the island were killed by 40,000 to 50,000 people. In the end, only more than 300 sailors and more than 3,000 women and children were left.

"The two generals are very wise and abandon the secret and turn to the light. Anyway, this marquis is very happy. He immediately appointed two guerrilla generals and still governs the headquarters. Each of them is rewarded with 500 taels of silver, each of the officers is rewarded with 100 taels of silver and 10 taels of soldiers."

Batu and Zhao Dezhi had both witnessed the Beiyang Fleet of Zhennanhou and were shocked to the extreme when they saw the rows of giant cannons on the ship. They knew clearly that even without their inner support, with the strength of Zhennanhou, it would be easy to capture this small town with only a thousand people.

Unexpectedly, the Marquis was so generous that he promoted him to a guerrilla general and rewarded him with so much money.

"I thank you for the reward of the Marquis. I will go to the fire and die in the future." The two knelt on the ground to thank you for your reward.

Liu Jun waved his hand to ask them to get up and giving them these rewards was not too much. He also wanted to convey a message to everyone, and he would not treat them unfairly anyway.

It was not dawn yet, but Jiutou had completely controlled Lushun.

However, Liu Jun was not satisfied with this.

The information he had previously mastered was that the defense at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula was not strong, especially Huang Taiji had also drawn a group of troops from here to Jinzhou. Before the Qing army could react, Liu Jun was ready to seize the opportunity.

He asked Batu and Zhao Dezhi carefully for a while and learned that the information he had was indeed correct.

Looking at the map in front of him, Liu Jun focused his fingers on the location of Jinzhou City in the north. This turned out to be the garrison of the Jinzhou Guards of the imperial court, and Lushun was the garrison of Jinzhou Zhongzuo. It was 130 miles from Lushun to Jinzhou City, with Muchangyi and Qingniwa between them.

Qingniwa was later Dalian.

This time, Liu Jun made a plan to attack and robbery on the coast, but he was not only satisfied with the sacred. In the rest, he had been collecting various intelligence, geographical information, number of troops, port conditions, etc., from the Liaodong Peninsula, especially Lushun.

From Jinzhou City to Lushun, it is more than 130 miles long, and it stands out in a sharp point in the Bohai Bay, especially in the south of Jinzhou City, and in the Jinzhou Isthmus between Jinzhou Bay and Dalian Bay, it is quite narrow and only ten miles wide.

During the revelation of the Ming Dynasty, Liaodong was lost and the situation worsened. The court once made a plan to dig a trench in the ten-mile-wide Jinzhou Isthmus, and turn the more than 100 miles south of the Liaodong Peninsula into a large island. The Ming army relied on this artificial canal to defend Lushun, and sent people to station troops and guard Lushun, thinking that it was a barrier to Shandong Peninsula.

This plan is actually feasible, but because the court had no money and food at that time, it was still not implemented. Later, Lushun fell. Mao Wenlong built Dongjiang Town in Pi Island and once counterattacked and recaptured Lushun and Jinzhou. But at that time, his focus was on Pi Island, so Lushun finally gave up.

Liu Jun attaches great importance to Lushun because there are two best ports, Lushunkou and Qingniwa.

A deep-water port is very suitable for the large warships of the Beiyang Fleet. Not everyone can be parked with a draft of eight meters. Moreover, these two ports are not frozen. Even in the Little Ice Age, the time for these two ports to freeze is very short.

Occupying the Jinzhou Lushun area, the Beiyang Fleet had a good home port, and the Jiutouzhao also had an excellent advancement base and supply base in Liaodong. In particular, Lushun was only 200 miles away from Penglai, Dengzhou.

But whether to occupy this place for a long time? This is something to be considered in the future. Now Liu Jun’s top priority is to take advantage of the opportunity to seize these places.

Qingniwa Port is also a port as excellent as Lushun Port. Qingniwa City in the port is the predecessor of Dalian in the future. At this time, it was just a small town. Because it was occupied by the Tartars, merchant ships in the port were greatly reduced, and the small city could not help but weaken.

Before sending troops, the Jiutou's combat plan was to seize Lushun first, and then march northward. Before the Tatars reacted and sent troops southward, they tried to capture as many cities as possible. However, they only attacked but not defended. Every time they broke through a city, they would steal the population and money in the city, destroy the city, destroy the surrounding crops, and take the initiative to strengthen the walls and clear the fields with the Tatars.

Where you can go north this time depends on the specific situation. You may go to Fuzhou, or maybe not. If the attack goes smoothly, you can even go to Gaizhou directly. Anyway, the Nine-Headed Bird has a powerful warship, so you don’t have to trek by land, and you can just take the warship from the sea to Gaizhou from the sea to land and land.

But now Liu Jun has new ideas, and he plans to take over Lushun.

Therefore, he no longer divided his troops to attack, but left some troops to build additional forts in Lushun Port and repair city walls. He specifically asked to build according to the European bastion style. The last choice was the Crown Fort, which had many edges and corners, and each edge was also a fort, with no dead ends in firepower.

At the same time, the city with its back against the port and the warships at the port provide artillery fire support.

Liu Jun transferred the reconnaissance battalion and cavalry to the shore, and assigned them an artillery company to set off from Lushun to head north, sweep away those forces loyal to the Tartars along the way.

Liu Jun personally led the fleet to the north from the sea.

Before leaving, Liu Jun issued a notice to Lushun and the surrounding people, announcing that Lushun would be regained, and that the property of merchants and people would be protected, and that those unowned, those land belonging to the Tartars and those judged to be occupied by traitors and others were all taken over to the court.

These fields were changed to military garrisons. People without land could apply to the garrison in Lushun. Each resident could be granted 50 acres of land. Nine-headed birds also rented ox seeds and farm tools from them. After harvesting, half of the harvest was rented for the garrison.

Because Lushun was in the hands of the Tartars for many years, it has repeatedly repeated it several times during this period. The population has dropped sharply. Many land owners either fled or were killed. Now most of the land belongs to the overlords of the Tartars and the military farms of the Qing army. Now, Liu Jun has cleaned up these completely and collected them into the military farms of Jiutou.

The people were very happy about this notice and went to apply for military farming, and the shops and wharfs in Lushun immediately became popular. The arrival of a large number of Ming troops not only means that there will be an increase in business, but also that there will definitely be merchant ships from the Ming Dynasty in the future.

"We can't we attack with our troops, can we capture more cities?"
