Chongzhen Chat Group

With a "crash", the imperial case in front of Huang Taiji was directly overturned by him. The memorials on it were scattered all over the floor. Upon hearing the sound, all the chamberlains and maids in the palace fell to their knees and prostrated on the ground with their heads lowered.

But at this moment, not far to the right of Huang Taiji, there was a "pop" sound, and a chamberlain farted loudly, not knowing whether he was frightened.

The fart might have frightened him, so he tried hard, but there was no sound, but in the end he couldn't stop the natural phenomenon. The sound started again, like a piece of music, with an intermittently rhythmic sound.

Huang Taiji was like a man-eating tiger. The small eyes on his fat face were wide open, barely angry. He pointed at the servant and almost roared: "Why are you standing there? Drag him out and live for me." Beat him to death!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't even feel relieved and directly smashed the memorial in his hand.

When the guards dragged the chamberlain who loudly begged for mercy out of the palace, Huang Taiji suddenly sighed, as if he had no strength in his body, and fell down on the throne. He looked very tired.

The Guanning Cavalry and the Dongjiang Cavalry marched straight into the hinterland of Liaodong from the west and east directions respectively, and then turned around before reaching the towns where the Qing heavy troops were garrisoned, destroying all the way to Fuzhou and then escaping. Although Huang Taiji had not yet received the final report, he could estimate in his mind the amount of food lost this time by the Ming army. Originally, the Qing Dynasty did not have enough food, but it was stabbed again by the Ming army, which really made matters worse!

Without food, no matter how well you do other things, it will be in vain. What's even more annoying is that the Ming army destroyed so much food, but they finally escaped safely. This really didn't take the Qing army into consideration!

The land of Liaodong is the land of the Qing Dynasty. You can come and leave whenever you want? Huang Taiji felt a little pain in his heart when he thought of this. He understood that this was all because of anger.

It's really hateful. Although I actually thought that they might escape from the sea, I also thought about the nearly two thousand cavalry troops, two people with horses, and how many warships would be needed to transport them. According to my own estimation, the Ming Navy was not that capable. Many ships. Therefore, the focus of my own defense and interception is still on the land route, especially in the direction of the grassland.

However, I did not expect that the Ming Navy would actually use Changsheng Island. First put part of the Ming army on the island, transport the other part of the Ming army, and then go back and transport the remaining Ming army. This solves the problem of insufficient warships!

Huang Taiji thought for a long time and finally slowly suppressed the anger in his heart. After thinking carefully for a while, he suddenly stood up and shouted loudly: "Come here!"

If the Ming army can come and destroy the food of the Qing Dynasty, then we, the Qing Dynasty, must reciprocate and seize the food of the Ming army. Huang Taiji thought in his mind and decided to send troops to Ningjin. The Qing Dynasty would seize all the grain in the grain fields as far as the Shanhaiguan line.

However, although Huang Taiji issued this decree, he urgently sent an order to the army in Fuzhou to let them do this. But he understood that after being disrupted by the Ming army and delayed for a while, it was already later than in previous years to go to Guan Ning to grab food. More importantly, since this time the Ming army could think of coming to the Qing Dynasty to destroy food, they would definitely prevent the Qing Dynasty from robbing them of food.

Thinking that the troops sent to Guan Ning were likely to return empty-handed, which meant that the Ming army had taken advantage of everything this time, Huang Taiji felt angry again, but he had nothing to do.

He actually didn't know that if it weren't for hiding the strength of the navy, Ming could have transported all the men and horses at once. The reason why only a part of the warships came over and the Dongjiang Cavalry was thrown away on Changsheng Island first was to show Jianlu that the current shipping capacity of the Ming Dynasty Navy was actually only so much.

In fact, the Denglai Navy was already building new ships after Lu Xiangsheng took office, and transferred ships from Guanning. The most important thing is that the Fujian Navy was originally larger than the Denglai Navy. He happened to be transporting grain from Annan, but Emperor Chongzhen ordered him to stay in the north. This greatly increased the transportation capacity of Ming Dynasty North, far beyond Huang Taiji's imagination. And this is also the basis for giving Huang Taiji a surprise in the subsequent war.

It can be said that since the change of Emperor Chongzhen at the end of last year, since the houses of Shanxi merchants were confiscated and Jianlu's eyes in the pass were cut off, and since the golden finger of the chat group was created, the information about Ming Dynasty and Jianlu has become absolute. Asymmetrical. Under such circumstances, no matter how powerful Huang Taiji is, it will be extremely difficult to achieve the same results as before!

Just when Huang Taiji was so angry that he killed people, at the port of Lushun, all the thatched houses on the shore were cleaned up, and all other accumulated debris was also emptied. From the city to the port, everything was empty, like a big square.

On the pier, skilled craftsmen are busy adding berths. Seeing that many new berths have been added, the old fishermen who were doing chores in exchange for food couldn't help but be surprised and said: "This can already accommodate a lot of boats, right? Why do we need to add more?"

"Yeah, I'm wondering too." His neighbor followed, "Even when Lushun returned to the imperial court, we didn't see many ships. Just the ships a few days ago were the most I've seen in my life. It’s a boat!”

"Could it be that I'm just idle, so I need to practice more?" the old fisherman's son guessed.

When the old fisherman heard this, he immediately shook his head and said: "How is it possible? You think you are really full! Let me see, it is probably that the boats from last time are coming back. You have forgotten that there were so many people on and off the boats last time , how long did it take? The adults may have thought of speeding up the boarding and disembarkation, so let’s do this!”

At this point, he suddenly sighed with emotion: "You don't know that when our Ming Dynasty was in the Yongle period, there were only more than one ship at that time! They were so densely packed that they almost paved the sea surface!"

"More boats than the previous days?" His son asked in surprise when he heard this. In his opinion, the port was almost completely covered with pavement in the past few days, which was the most he had ever seen in his life.

After hearing this, the old fisherman looked at his son and said: "Of course, there are many more than the past few days. Not to mention the port, even looking at the farthest point on the sea, there are still boats..."

As he was speaking, he suddenly stopped, which made the people next to him a little curious. After following his gaze, they were also stunned.

I saw densely packed ships appearing on the sea outside the port at some unknown time. It seems that the far side of the ocean is not sea water, but boats. After watching it for a long time, the boat at the front was getting bigger and bigger, but at the end of the sea, there were still boats. At this scale, it is definitely several times more than the previous days!

Needless to say, the fleet transporting the new army to join the war, including ships from the Denglai Navy, Guanning Navy and Fujian Navy, finally arrived in Lushun.

One update has been returned and there are 5 more due. It looks like there will be two more updates tomorrow.
