As for how Zheng Chenggong judged, he still believed in the opinions of professionals. In terms of naval warfare, Zhu Youjian was basically superstitious about Zheng Chenggong, at least he was also a national hero.

It is said that when Zhu Youjian sent the letter back to Nanjing, the entire Jiaodong Peninsula had already begun to mobilize, and all local garrisons had begun to assemble, and Hauge also mobilized his own firearms, preparing to carry this newly-made firearm from Laiwu along the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway in the future. The gentle passage from Laiwu to Linyi goes directly south.This is also the only disconnected passage for the army to go south from the Yimeng Mountains.

When Zhu Youjian sent Deng Zhirong to reach Haizhou quickly, this was the path he took.Now in reverse, Hauge is planning to use this passage to directly attack Haizhou without using his elite troops.

This abacus is really too fine.First, use elite soldiers to contain Li Yan's main force in the mountains of Yimeng, and then send local troops to cooperate with the navy to attack Haizhou.

Zhu Youjian didn't keep heavy soldiers in Haizhou at all, and he couldn't afford to support so many soldiers.Moreover, Daming had no navy at all in Shandong and Jiangsu, or in other words, no sea power to compete with the Houjin Navy.

If Houjin occupied Haizhou and relied on his navy to help defend Haizhou, Daming's supply to the entire Li Yan army would be cut off.

Going one step further, if the passage to the north of Linyi is directly blocked, Li Yan's living space will be directly compressed by half, and he will not be able to carry it for a long time.

Haug’s report to Dorgon shocked Dorgon. If this tactical concept is implemented, then the entire Shandong problem will be basically solved. By the way, it will be able to threaten the entire rear of Huaisi from Haizhou, and can always approach Yangzhou. .

In this way, the strategic situation was reversed, and Houjin could send an elite army to threaten the hinterland of Ming Dynasty at any time, which was even more powerful than Li Yan's threat to the north.

"Agreed!" Dorgon immediately approved, and generously ordered Li Sutai to lead the navy to give full support.

In terms of war mobilization ability, Hou Jin is much more efficient than Daming, especially a commander like Dorgon who has a strategic vision, his sense of smell is extremely sensitive, and he has perfectly demonstrated his extraordinary ability when he decided to enter the customs. place.

When Hauge sent troops to the south, Li Yan noticed it. He still wasn't sure whether Hauge must have attacked Haizhou, because there were not many troops going south, only 1.

But he sent another letter to Zhu Youjian, informing him of the current military situation.Zhu Youjian wrote back saying that the number of people was too small and it seemed impossible.

Li Yan panicked when spies from the coast of Jiaodong reported that the Houjin Navy was heading south.All his previous worries had become reality.

"Your Majesty, there's a letter from Li Yan." Yan Yingyuan hurried to Zhu Youjian's residence. Zhu Youjian had been in Xuzhou for almost two months.

"What did the letter say?" Zhu Youjian felt very strange. Letters from Li Yan have been very frequent recently, and this is already the third letter.

"It's an urgent and important military situation, I didn't read it." Naturally, Yan Yingyuan didn't dare to open the letter to Zhu Youjian.

When Zhu Youjian saw the result, his face turned pale immediately.

"How soon is it possible to get to Haizhou from here?" Zhu Youjian hurriedly asked Yan Yingyuan.

"It will take three days at the earliest." Yan Yingyuan saw that Zhu Youjian's face was not good, and felt that something serious happened.

"It's over!" Zhu Youjian sat down on the chair.

Chapter 222: Anton Weitu Village

Who is the current Haizhou defender?Zhang Huangyan.

Ever since he was incorporated into the military team by Zhu Youjian, he followed Yan Yingyuan to lead the team to Jiangbei.

Because he came from a decent family background, and he is both civil and military.

After Li Yan was in the city of Luzhong Army in Shandong, the defense area of ​​Haizhou was placed under the jurisdiction of Xuzhou Army, and Yan Yingyuan sent him to Haizhou.

There are only [-] defenders in Haizhou, which is really very small.Because the main military force is either in Shandong or on the Xuzhou defense line, Zhu Youjian almost forgot about Haizhou, but he just planned to use Haizhou as a sea supply port when Li Yan was in a hurry.

"Three days, Jin's army will be able to go to Haizhou City in three days. But there are no soldiers in Haizhou!" Zhu Youjian was so anxious that he couldn't find any reinforcements around Haizhou.

"Use carrier pigeons, and give the Qian brothers an order to quickly reinforce Haizhou." Yan Yingyuan calculated the distance, and the transfer of troops from Xiapi is the closest, which can save a day's time.

"You guard Xuzhou, and you must keep an eye on the Duoduo Ministry. I will go to Haizhou myself." Zhu Youjian was a little worried about Zhang Huangyan. Compared with Yan Yingyuan, who has already become famous in battle, Zhang Huangyan's record is mediocre.

"Your Majesty, let me go. Haizhou is too dangerous." As the commander of the Xuzhou Army, Haizhou is Yan Yingyuan's defense area. Of course, he can't let Zhu Youjian take this risk.

"Don't say too much. Xuzhou's city defense has completed the peripheral construction, and now the tunnels and sewers have begun to be built. You have to stay here."

The one-month period calculated before was obviously a bit overstated. Of course, the construction level at this time cannot be compared with the infrastructure madness of later generations. In addition, the transportation of cement is indeed too far away, and only the outer wall of the city wall has been repaired in Xuzhou City.

As soon as he said he would leave, Zhu Youjian took Ji Biao and a group of hundreds of guards, and ran towards Haizhou overnight.

An Dongwei was quiet for almost a year, and once again a lot of soldiers came, but this time the soldiers came very strange, they all had a "pig tail" on the back of their heads.

These soldiers all came by sea boat. It may be because they are not used to sitting on a big ship. Most of them vomited when they got off the boat, and they couldn't stand still.

Zhao Lu has already retired from the army and returned to Andongwei, and started farming with peace of mind.Because he had a criminal record, he was retained during the selection of the Ming army and became a local tax collector.

Sea ships kept berthing near the Antonwei coastline, and groups of soldiers rowed ashore from the ships, forming a large black area.

Zhao Lu's calves were only trembling, and he went up to meet him bravely.It is his daily job to patrol the coastline, and it is also to protect the villagers from being robbed by pirates.

"Master Jun, I don't know which team you are in? What can the villain do to help?"

Zhao Lu had never seen Hou Jin's soldiers, but he had probably heard of them, and when he saw them, he knew they were Daming's enemies.

Enemies are also human beings, no matter if the visitors are from our own people or enemies, there must always be someone to contact them, and it is best to persuade the other party not to harm the village.

Han people are very kind, and they always think that human nature is kind.The first sentence of the Three Character Classic has taught us since childhood: At the beginning of human beings, nature is inherently good!

"Come here!" A man who looked like an officer waved to Zhao Lu.

"What's the order of Lord Jun?" Zhao Lu was overjoyed, thinking that as long as he could talk to him, it should be fine, after all, he was just an ordinary citizen.

"Where is your village here?" The officer put his arm around Zhao Lu's shoulder, looking friendly.

"It's not far from here." Zhao Lu felt that it was good for the two of them to get close. It was because of their closeness with Deng Zhirong that Deng Zhirong's people did not offend Qiu Li in the village.

"How long does it take to get there?" the officer asked with a smile.

"It's time for a cup of tea." Just as Zhao Lu finished speaking, his stomach felt cold, followed by a burst of angina, and then he felt powerless.

He grabbed the single knife on his stomach, and blood flowed out continuously along the bleeding groove.

"Master Jun, why?" Zhao Lu looked at the man who killed him unwillingly, his eyes full of doubts.

"I want to kill people, so why not ask?" The officer kicked Zhao Lu's body and pulled out the knife vigorously.Zhao Lu fell on his back, fell heavily on the beach, and then twisted into a shrimp shape while clutching his stomach in pain.

"Take a group of people and go to the village to play. Don't leave anyone alive when you leave." The officer washed the blood on the knife with sea water, then inserted it into the scabbard, and ordered without hesitation.

"Wow!" The soldier, who was still vomiting just now, heard the officer's words, immediately came alive, roared and ran towards the Anton Guard.

After a while, the whole village was in chaos, with the cries of women and children everywhere.Several men who tried to resist were knocked to the ground like a whirlwind.

This is the practice of Jin Bing, go all the way and kill all the way, never ask the reason.If they had to find a reason for this behavior, they would definitely say: In order to avoid leaking military information.

This attack on Haizhou, the post-Golden soldiers were divided into three routes: on the one route, Tai’an went directly south; on the other route, naval warships sailed into the Linhong River; on the other route, they first arrived at Andongwei on a troop carrier, and then quickly attacked Haizhou City. .

It has been found out by Tanma before that there are only 3 defenders in Haizhou City.So Hou Jin invested a lot of money this time. 1 infantrymen were dispatched, 3 people went south from Tai'an, and [-] landed.Almost all the navy was dispatched, whether they were paddling or lighting fires, there were a total of [-] people together.

These 3 people are all Han Chinese in the Liaodong area, and they are basically the successors of Mao Wenlong's subordinates. They can be regarded as a relatively early group of people who betrayed Ming Dynasty.

Tartar heavy cavalry, these people are called sailors in name, but in fact they usually run around the sea trade for Hou Jin, and go to North Korea to search for some money and food.However, they generally dare not go south or east to Japan, because they cannot beat others, whether it is the Zheng family or the Dutch.
