Chapter 263: Guns and cannons rang for two days

"Okay, I'll tell your general back, I won't blame him for this."

"When we meet in the future, as long as you general doesn't take the lead, I won't make it difficult for him to do it."

Zhang Zhun said casually.

The personal soldier received a positive answer and then went there with confidence.

"What's the matter with this?"

Zhang Zhunxin shook her head with emotion.

In the past, the Tartars on Tianheng Island were like a plague and no one wanted to get involved. Even though they knew that the Tartars came ashore to wash and plunder, they pretended to be unaware of anything, let alone take the initiative to fight against the Tartars. They just waited for the Tartars to finish the wash and plunder and retreat, and it was all right.

Now, the Tartars on Tianheng Island suddenly turned into New Year's dumplings, and everyone wanted to pick one up. Whether it was a literary or a martial artist, they wanted to get up and stomp. The battle had not yet begun, and the action of grabbing credit was already stunned. However, the Tartars may not be so easy to stomp to death! The rabbit is anxious and bites people!

Since there was a governor and a general who personally went to deal with the remaining Tartars on Tianheng Island, Zhang Zhun was too lazy to take care of it. He had already controlled the Aoshan Guard and Lingshan Guard, and even if the Heavenly King came, he would not be able to hand it over. Whether or not the Aoshan Guard commander was not a big problem. Seizing the opportunity to urge grain production, speeding up weapons research, and continuing to expand the army is the king. With food and army, we can continue to expand the territory.

What?

You won't give it?

Do I need you to give it?

I'll just take it myself!

Afterwards, Zhang Zhun came to Xiongya.

Compared with Aoshan City, the fields in Xiongya are even worse. Due to the constant harassment of the Tartars, the area of ​​the fields here is the most serious, and most of the fields are lost. Even if military households continue to relocate, it is very difficult to reorganize these fields. Many people get up early and work in the dark, but they can only sort out some of the fields for sowing.

According to Lu Lancheng's statistics, the sowing area of ​​winter wheat in Xiongya is less than 30,000 acres. In fact, the area of ​​winter wheat that can sow in Xiongya is more than 280,000 acres. In other words, only about 10% of the fields have time to sow. The key is the problem of too small population. It turns out that many of the military households who escaped have not returned yet. Without labor, everything is useless.

I believe that with the gradual increase of population, the labor situation of Xiongya Institute will gradually improve. However, next time we sow, we will have to wait until next autumn. It is really a pity to waste a year of time! Time does not wait for others, and wasting a year of time is absolutely unforgivable. Moreover, it is also necessary to sort out all the fields cultivated next year, a large amount of labor is required. With the current labor force of Xiongya Institute, it is obviously not enough.

By the way, Ma Yi mentioned in the intelligence that a large number of refugees gathered in Dengzhou City. Some of these refugees came from Laiyang, which was burned by the Tartars, and some came from Liaodong occupied by the Tartars. All of them were added up, and there might be tens of thousands of people. These refugees had no food or clothing in Dengzhou City. They starved to death every day, and people were eaten alive every day. If these people were brought to the cliff...

Lu Lancheng and others accompanied Zhang Zhun to inspect the fields. The group slowly walked south and finally came to the area of ​​Kamchi Island. Kamchi Island is also under the jurisdiction of Xiongya Institute. Kamchi Island is actually just a peninsula and is connected to Xiongya Institute. Since the Tartars often go ashore here, this place is the most ruined. This year, it is definitely not possible to cultivate. If you want to cultivate next year, you have to spend a lot of effort to sort out the fields.

The south of Kashima Island, at the end of the line of sight, is Tatsuoshima. Standing on the southernmost part of Kashima Island, the black spots that can be seen with the naked eye are the area occupied by the Tartars. However, the southernmost part of Kashima Island is now surrounded by officers and soldiers, and a huge barracks stand. The officers and soldiers attacking Tatsuoshima use this place as a bridgehead for attack and prohibit any outsiders from approaching.

On Zhang Zhun's land, these officers and soldiers were not very presumptuous. They probably heard the story of Brigadier General Zhang running all over the mountains. Of course, they did not dare to provoke easily by even the Tartars. Behind them, the guard soldiers led by Yang Zhiyuan were always staring at them.

In a vague way, bursts of cannon sound could be heard.

Zhang Zhun raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile Mile and carefully observed Tianheng Island across the sea. Unfortunately, he could only see the outline of Tianheng Island. Occasionally, some smoke rose. As for the specific battle, he could not see. In the Qianli Mile Mile Mile, there were no soldiers fighting, but only people were constantly coming and going at the dock. It seemed that the officers and soldiers should have put in a lot of troops on Tianheng Island.

Around Tianheng Island, there are also Daming Navy's warships cruising from time to time. The appearance of these warships is quite old. The paint on the outside of the ship's side has all peeled off, revealing the already whispered boards inside. Some are even worse than Yang Guohua's pirate ships. It seems that as long as a big wave hits, they will be swallowed at any time. Compared with the brand new Cangshan ship that is about to be launched, these warships of the Daming Navy are really not in the eyes of Zhang Zhun.

Zhang Zhun was also very touched and even felt a little sad when he saw these dilapidated warships of the Ming Navy. How could the real Ming Navy look like now? Think about the vast Ming Navy when Zheng He went to the West, the vast Ming Navy and the treasure ship like a giant. Then look at the broken ships in front of him, the contrast was too great. It was so big that it made people think they were two completely different worlds.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would have never imagined that in more than a hundred years, the Ming Navy had already been destroyed to such an extent! In fact, during the Wanli period, the Ming Navy still had its final glory. In the battle to resist Japan and aid Korea, the Ming Navy commanded by the navy, Chen Lin, the navy commanded by Chen Lin, still severely damaged the Japanese fleet. However, the navy commanded by Chen Lin was completely different from the fleet commanded by the eunuch of Sanbao Zheng He. In general, the navy of the Ming Dynasty was Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and it was worse than that of the year.

When Zheng He went to the West, the Ming Navy reached its peak. It had hundreds of super-large lucky ships and treasure ships, and a vast fleet of ships stretching for more than ten nautical miles. There were 100,000 officers and soldiers in the entire fleet. Unfortunately, the Ming Navy never continued after a flash in the pan. Later, the brainless emperor and the court actually made a perverted policy of forbidding the sea.

The sea ban policy is absolutely fatal to the development of the Ming Navy. A large number of warships were moored in the ports and rotted, including those super-large treasure ships. What's more, a large number of excellent sailing talents were scattered all over the country, and their navigation technology was unsustainable. It has been completely lost until now. There are also a large number of shipbuilding drawings that have also been destroyed. For example, the drawings of the treasure ship.

Hundreds of Tartars launched active attacks on thousands of Ming troops. This situation is really common. Thousands of Tartars surrounded dozens of Tartars, but they were unable to resolve the battle as soon as possible, so the Tartar reinforcements arrived quickly and rescued the Tartars in the encirclement, which in turn severely damaged the Ming army. There are countless examples of such. Even if the Tartars were injured, they would never surrender. As for surrendering to the Ming army, it was even more impossible. Since the Battle of Sarhu, there seems to be no example of Tartars surrendering to the Ming army.

Tianheng Island is actually not large in area. Although there are many officers and soldiers, there are thousands of people. However, at the same time, only about 500 people should be useful. In other words, the Tatars directly faced at the same time was actually only 500 officers and soldiers. In this way, the comparison of military strength between the two sides would not be very different. Unless it was exhausted and there was no strength to pick up weapons. However, if this was true, Zhang Zhun believed that the first person to collapse would definitely be the Ming army officers and soldiers.

The traps on the island are also obstacles. It can be seen from the battle between Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu and others on attacking Tianheng Island. The lethality of these traps is very great. The Tartars are worthy of being an excellent hunter for catching wild beasts. The traps they set up are vicious and clever, hidden and cruel. To eliminate these traps, courage, perseverance, wisdom, and cooperation are required. Of course, what is needed most is time.

I believe that after the remaining Tartars escaped back to Tianheng Island, they will definitely set up traps as soon as possible. Their traps should be set up more than those previously set up by Shublu. After all, this time, it is really related to their life and death. The remaining Tartars will definitely think that they suffered heavy damage on land, and the officers and soldiers will definitely pursue and attack them relentlessly, seize the time to launch a strong attack, and eliminate them in one go. Therefore, everyone in the Tartars will take the skills to take all measures to save themselves as much as possible and eliminate the enemy.

Zhang Zhun was really not apologizing for the enterprising spirit of the officers and soldiers. The two-day battle could not solve the Tartars. I don’t know how many days it would take to continue like this. I hope they can complete this task. From the perspective of the suffering of the local people in Shandong, it would be better for the Tartars on Tianheng Island to be eliminated as soon as possible. Whether the Tartars died at their own hands or at the hands of the officers and soldiers, as long as they died, it would be a good thing. Without these Tartars, the people on the southern coast could be at ease.
