On February 18, 2018, Shen Yourong led the troops of the town to recover Changsheng Island and the West Central Island, and conducted a tentative landing at the south and north junctions, making a feint attack on Fuzhou.

On February 19, the second year of Tianqi, the Tianjin Navy, in addition to cruising along the southern coast of Youtunwei, showed support, and divided one of its troops to re-occupate the Donghai Fort (belonging to Youtunwei of Guangning, now the east beach in the southeast of Linghai City, Liaoning).

Although the Ming army voluntarily gave up the East China Sea Fort and did not guard Jiannu, and the Ming army that occupied the fortress only set off a large flag and boarded the ship to withdraw before Jiannu arrived, it played a role in restraining the Later Jin army under the Youtun Weicheng.

On February 19, the second year of Tianqi, Shen Yourong led his army to break into Pulandian Bay at night, landed on a surprise attack, and occupied Shihe Post. In the following day, the officers and soldiers of Deng Town burned down all the surrounding villages and towns, moved thousands of people, and boarded the ship.

On February 20, the second year of Tianqi, Mao Wenlong led the Dongjiang army to occupy Hongzui Fort again, and another round of destruction of villages and relocated people. He cooperated with Dengzhen to cooperate with Jiannu from Jinzhou and Fuzhou to lose sight of the other.

On February 22, the second year of Tianqi, the troops in the town took action together with the Dongjiang Army, landed on both sides of the east and west, and besieged Nanguan.

Nanguan is also called Nanguanling and Nanguan Island. It is located in the narrowest part of the Liaodong Peninsula. It is surrounded by the sea on both sides of the east and west, and is only more than ten miles apart.

Historically, after Zhang Pan, a general of the Dongjiang Army, occupied Lushun, submitted a memorial to open a river. It was to dig deep trenches and wide trenches in the narrowest place of Nan Guam, to lure the sea water to strengthen itself, and set up a fort to defend.

There were only 200 Jiannu soldiers in Nanguan. Seeing that thousands of Ming troops were aggressive, they did not dare to defend the city. They fled to Jinzhou in a panic, and Nanguan was restored.

After occupying Nanguan, thousands of Ming troops cut down wood and set up fences, watered and built ice. In two days, a wall of more than ten miles was built, completely cutting off the retreat of Jiannu from Jinzhou.

On February 25, the second year of Tianqi, the Tianjin Navy received a report and came to help. The three Ming troops had reached 26,000, so they went south to encircle Jinzhou and besieged this city with only more than one thousand enemies.

At this point, from harassment to siege, the Ming army took advantage of the large number of ships in the sea, and also took advantage of the weakness of the main force of the Later Jin army being outside to guard the empty guards, and began the rise of its own slaves. After the Ming army was defeated repeatedly, the biggest encirclement and annihilation battle was the biggest.

……………………

Ganqing Palace, in the imperial study room.

Zhang Yu'er looked at the young emperor in a daze, wondering what the emperor has been doing these two days.

But Zhu Youxiao was holding Xiaobai in his hand, pressing him on his head, holding his two small claws and staring affectionately, and then carrying the cat to his back, pinching his two small claws and putting it on his shoulders.

On one hand, he had all kinds of strange shapes and actions, while closing his eyes from time to time, muttering words in his mouth, looking divine.

Fly, fly, take me to fly, take me to pretend to be 13, carry you to fly!

Zhu Youxiao finally gave up and put down the cat who looked desperate and kept "meowing" protesting.

"Meow!" Xiaobai shook his big head, glared at Zhu Youxiao with his strange eyes, jumped a few times, and fled to Zhang Yuer's arms.

"Your Majesty, you - take a break?" Zhang Yu'er stroked the White Lady with some pain and smoothed the hair on her head.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, looked helpless and disappointed, and walked to the sand table and touched his chin and pondered.

For fortresses and cities near the sea, such as the Liaodong Peninsula, the Later Jin army was mostly not strict in defense. They also knew that there were so many fortresses along the coast and there was no garrison force at all.

In history, Zhang Pan recaptured Lushun or even Jinzhou without much effort, and there were not many people in his hands. Strictly speaking, it was the Later Jin army who took the initiative to give up and won without fighting.

Of course, it is not the time when Teacher Yuan has been operating Denglai for several years, showing his power at sea offense and forcing Jiannu to retreat.

But from a partial perspective, the situation was quite beneficial to the Ming army. More than 20,000 people besieged Jinzhou, and there were only hundreds of Jiannu and hundreds of Mongolian vassals in the defending enemy. The combined number of people was only a thousand people, and they were extremely sure of winning.

What is worrying is that Jiannu from Fuzhou and Gaizhou came to rescue him, and there were only more than 2,000 troops coming out in full swing. Relying on the ten-mile ice wall, could the Ming army resist it?

Zhu Youxiao turned around and looked at Xiaobai again. He really hoped to fly again!

There are no telephones or telegrams, and the messages are only a few days after a few messages. It's so slow.

Shaking his head, Zhu Youxiao sighed, returned to the desk, took the memorial casually, looked at it for a while and threw it down, and ordered the palace servant: "Let Liu Ruoyu come over."

It’s not that I can’t understand the memorials, but that it’s really something without punctuation marks, which seems too much to worry about.

Before Liu Ruoyu came, a palace servant reported that Zou Yuanbiao, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, met.

Zhu Youxiao asked the palace servants to see him, and waved him, and asked the palace servants to bring the embroidery pen to the palace servants.

"The old minister kowtows to my emperor, long live long live long live long live long!" Zou Yuanbiao knelt down and kowtowed.

"Zou Qing is exempted from courtesy." Zhu Youxiao raised his hand on the imperial throne and said, "Give him a seat."

Zou Yuanbiao kowtowed again, "Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness."

When Zou Yuanbiao sat down on the embroidery pier, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Zou Qing resigned again and again, but because Zhu Tongmeng, Guo Yunhou, Guo Xingzhi and others impeached Zhang?"

Zou Yuanbiao bowed and said, "The old minister was old and weak, and he was no longer able to bear the national use. This is the above memorial request to resign. I hope your Majesty will be approved."

Zhu Youxiao pursed the corner of his lips. Zou Yuanbiao refused to complain, which was a self-proclaimed gentleman. But he had already investigated clearly and criticized several people in succession.

As the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zou Yuanbiao’s work this year is in charge of the assessment of foreign officials, and next year is the period for the Beijing inspection. Guo Yunhou and others want to drive Zou Yuanbiao away because they are worried that it will be unfavorable to him.

In addition, because he called on the court officials to eliminate prejudice and work together, some people doubted whether he was old and exhausted.

Even inside Donglin, many people laughed at him at both ends. This is also one of the reasons why Zou Yuanbiao asked to go.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Since Zou Qing is eager to leave, I will be sure."

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness." Zou Yuanbiao knelt down and bowed, took out the memorial from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said, "I can no longer serve your Majesty's power. Before leaving, I will submit a special report to "Asia Memorial on the Deep National Situation of the Old Memorial."

Zhu Youxiao signaled the palace servant to come over, opened it and looked at it, nodded and said, "Zou Qing Gongzhong is loyal to the country, I am very relieved." Then, he said, "I will send an order to give the prince Zou Yuanbiao a gift to Prince Taibao, and take the post car to return home to support you."

Zou Yuanbiao kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up and left.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zou Yuanbiao who disappeared outside the hall gate and sighed softly.
