After Li Dingguo issued an order to divide troops into two groups, Zheng Chenggong chose to accept it.

He also felt that division of troops was a more efficient means for the Ming army.

He ordered people to find Yu Qi and He Shouyi from Niutuo Island and gave orders to the two.

In Zheng Chenggong's view, he could lead the army to attack Xingshan and Songshan.

It was a waste of Yu Qi and He Shouyi's attacks together. It would be better to be able to bypass the Liaodong Bay and directly march into the Gaizhou generation.

If Ningyuan and Jinzhou are only used by the Qing army to block the pace of the Ming army, Gaizhou, Yaozhou, Haizhou and other places are the lifeline counties of the Qing army.

Because after passing this line of defense, it is Anshan, after passing Anshan, it is Liaoyang, and after passing Liaoyang, it is Chenyang.

Now Aisin Jueluo's family is stationed in Shenyang.

If the Ming army wants to achieve real victory, it must go straight to Huanglong.

Since Chenyang is going to fight sooner or later, it would be great if some Ming troops went to touch the bottom.

Yu Qi and He Shouyi were very excited when they learned that His Highness Zhong trusted them so much.

They patted their chests and swear to promise that they would not let down His Highness Zhong's trust.

The most convenient way to get from Niutuo Island to Gaizhou is to take the sea route, which can save a lot of time.

Yu Qi and He Shouyi were good at sailing at sea, and set off immediately after a conclusion.

It is said that there is a Lianyun Island on the sea very close to Gaizhou, which is very suitable for garrisoning troops and can be their place to settle down.

After careful discussion, they set off immediately.

...

...

Changsheng Island, as the closest largest island to Yongning and Fuzhou generation, has always been occupied by a group of pirates.

It is not right to say that they are pirates.

Because they all robbed other pirates and never hurt ordinary people.

This group of pirates were descendants of the Ming army in Dongjiang Town back then and have been living here.

Their leader was named Qian Youren. After learning that the Ming army attacked Liaodong, they wanted to surrender.

Even on the island, they always wore Hanfu in their hair buns, telling themselves that they were descendants of Yan and Huang.

Now that the king's army is in the north, they can't wait to surrender.

But it is a big problem to not be able to contact each other.

If he leads his troops to come rashly, if he fails to bump into the Ming army, it will be very unfavorable for Qian Youren and his soldiers.

Because their food and grass reserves are limited, if they wander on the sea for too long, they may lose food.

Although in theory they can rely on fishing to fill the speed of food consumption, it is well known that fish and shrimp cannot completely replace food.

There will always be a day when the food is finished. If you only rely on fish and shrimp to fill your stomach, there will definitely be problems with the soldiers' health.

With a responsible attitude towards the soldiers, Qian Youren finally decided to stay at Changsheng Island.

But this is not the other one.

He was still ordering people to inquire about the Ming army's movements, and immediately rewarded them whenever there was any news.

Because he clearly knows a truth, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but it is difficult to provide timely help.

If the Ming army had already won a great victory, or if it was almost a great victory, the Ming army generals would not value them too much at that time.

And if the Ming army goes to join us during a stalemate battle, the Ming army generals will definitely be very happy.

Qian Youren wants to be the one who helps the timely help, not the one who adds icing on the cake.

As a result, he really found out the news.

"The boss, the news from Gaizhou said that many troops have come to Lianyun Island, but the noise is quite loud."

After hearing this news, Qian Youren immediately began to analyze it seriously.

Although Lianyun Island is very close to Gaizhou, the Qing army has not been stationed on the island.

The reason is actually very simple, because the Qing army was not strong enough to let them go to the island to station.

Even after the main forces of the Qing army collectively came out of Shanhaiguan and returned to Liaodong, their total force was only 200,000.

Two hundred thousand people sounded like a large number, but once they were scattered to the vast coastline of Liaodong, there would actually be not many.

To set up defenses everywhere is to set up defenses everywhere.

The Qing army must have a choice to station, otherwise the effect will be greatly reduced.

Take Gaizhou as an example. Qian Youren found out that there were five thousand soldiers stationed here.

In fact, Qian Youren probably thinks the real number is smaller than the number five thousand. It is probably around three thousand.

Regardless of whether it is five thousand or three thousand, it is impossible for the Qing army to divide its troops out and station it on Lianyun Island, which is very close to Gaizhou.

If the troops are divided again, even Gaizhou may be uneasy to defend.

Since the Qing army had not been stationed in Lianyun Island before, there was naturally no reason to suddenly go to the island.

So Qian Youren probably probably wasn't the Qing army but the Ming army.

It has been more than half a month since the Ming army marched into Liaodong, and the main force must have been struggling in the Ningjin defense line. However, it is not impossible to split a side division to attack some islands as a springboard.

After all, Liaodong has a special geographical situation, and it is most advantageous to rely on the coastline to attack.

As a descendant of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town, Qian Youren clearly understood this truth.

He believed that someone in this Ming army must understand this truth.

Does it mean that the army has really arrived at Lianyun Island?

Qian Youren was very excited.

If you want to find out the truth, you can only go and see it yourself.

Lianyun Island is far away from Changsheng Island where Qian Youren is stationed, and it is close to it.

If you walk on the sea, you can save a lot of time and it will arrive in less than a few days.

It would be fine if Qian Youyou couldn't know the news, but he now knew the news.

Since I know, there is no reason not to go.

"Tell me the order and immediately call hundreds of brothers to take a boat to Lianyun Island to find out the matter. If the king's army really arrives at Lianyun Island, we will go and join us immediately."

Qian Youren waited for this moment for a long time, but he was really excited when he waited.

He finally no longer had to live a life of fear under the oppression of the Tartars.

As long as he surrendered to the Ming Dynasty court, he and his brothers could live a peaceful life.

...

...

Liaodong, Lianyun Island.

This is the seventh day after the Ming navy arrived at Lianyun Island with Yu Qi, Wang Ermazi, He Shouyi and other Ming army navy. The soldiers had already built a simple barracks.

Although it looks a little rough, there is no problem with sheltering from wind and rain.

With previous experiences on Juehua Island and Niutuo Island, the process of going to the island by Yu Qi and others was very smooth this time.

It has to be said that the Qing Dynasty did not have much control over the coastal islands along Liaodong. At least none of these islands sent troops to the island to station them.

This gave the Ming army an opportunity to easily go to the island.

Of course, Yu Qi and others would not miss such a good opportunity. As long as they operate properly, they can play an important role when the army of King Zhong and others attack Gaizhou.

The situation in Liaodong is now very clear.

It was only a matter of time before the Ming army captured Liaodong, so Yu Qi and others naturally had to consider themselves. If they could make great contributions, it would not only be of great benefit to them personally, but also to the soldiers.
