For Liu Bu, the attack on Lushunkou opposite the Bohai Sea is a cross sea attack, a very risky action, a military and state event, and we can't take any light heart.
But for Zheng zining, who is used to fighting and killing at sea, this can only be regarded as a small-scale conflict or armed parade.
Their battle with the Dutch in the Nanyang area is called naval battle.
Originally, Zheng zining was the other side's Navy or had a certain fear, but she began to disagree after hearing the report of her men to the other side.
The navy of JianNu has a lot of strength. There are hundreds of large ships, which can transport tens of thousands of troops across the Bohai Sea at one time, as well as a large number of materials. It can be as huge as ten thousand stones at one time.
But those of them who are used to sea battles find that they can only be defined as an inland transport fleet.
What's more, in the West or Nanyang, they used linear tactics as early as 30 years ago, or used side cannons to solve the enemy.
JianNu, the so-called Bohai Navy, their way to solve the battle, although it is still a side to side battle.
If you fight the pirates here in the Daming coast, it is estimated that the other party will still play with you, but if you fight with the regular Navy, who fucking plays any side to side battle with you, the other party will directly blow you up with cannon to feed the fish.
Originally, this fleet of JianNu still had some cannons for defense. In the past, in the sequence of the Ming Navy, they were still equipped with cannons for defense. Although there were no gunships made by Zheng family imitating Westerners, a ship was composed of more than 20 main guns and 30 auxiliary guns, just like a mobile fort.
These JianNu naval divisions were good. There were not many original cannons. They also dismantled them and moved them to the land to deal with the Ming army on the land.
The Ming Empire had vast sea territory, and they didn't pay attention to the interests of the sea. JianNu, the fishing and animal husbandry people who came out of the Tungusic forest, paid more attention to it, so it caused an embarrassing situation for the fleet this time. They still had some guns. Now it's better that all these guns have been dismantled. Their sailors use stone catapults Clapper or crossbow, and fire attack.
Now the world's mainstream navies have entered the battleship era, and they are still playing these.
Therefore, Zheng zining decided that she must kill each other before she went south. It would be even better if she could take the opportunity to capture Lushun Port. Considering their land strength, there was no way to control Lushun Port, because their troops could not resist JianNu and large-scale counterattack, so they decided to make the current plan to destroy each other's navy.
Liao town is one of the nine important border towns in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the most important border town.
Wang Yangming, a great man of that year, put forward an argument: Liao Town, Ji Town, Xuanfu and Datong will die if you lose a great Ming Dynasty.
At present, there are only one or two small cities in Ningyuan and Jinzhou left in Liao town in the Ming Dynasty. They barely have some military presence outside the customs. As a barrier for them to defend the mountain customs, it can be said that Liao town has been lost in a broad sense.
This vast area outside the pass has been the world where JianNu iron horses gallop.
If you can capture a small Lushun Port, it is estimated that it will also attract a fierce counterattack from the other party. Such a counterattack can not be defended by Liu Jiajun, and there is no need to defend it, at least for the time being.
So they began to deploy his military operations.
In November of the seventh year of Suizhen, Liu Yuanqiao, governor of Laizhou, wrote to Governor Chen YingYuan of Laizhou, pointing out that JianNu's Navy stationed in Lushunkou was eyeing them, such as sticking in the throat, such as a thorn in the flesh, wolfing the South and the coast of Laizhou, such as hanging eggs. He begged the court to send a navy force to destroy it.
But this request was shelved when Chen YingYuan arrived. He didn't have any water power. If he had enough sailors to attack lishunkou, he would have gone long ago. What are you waiting for here? Doesn't he know how much threat JianNu's Navy deployed in Lushunkou poses to them?
The threat was so great that he was superfluous as governor Denley.
Originally, the imperial court set up governor Denglai in the hope of controlling the power of the three eastern prefectures, supporting the battle of Liao town and transporting troops, horses and grain. Now they have basically lost this role, and they are also facing the threat of building slaves, so that the imperial court has always had a suggestion to remove Denglai town.
In other words, if he really had the ability and water power to destroy the Rebel fleet at Lushunkou, he would have gone long ago. As long as he killed the other party, he could basically do it as governor Denglai. At least the imperial court would not think they were superfluous.
Chen YingYuan thought that Liu Yuanqiao was making trouble for him and retaliated against him. Chen YingYuan pushed a large number of refugees to Laizhou and put the burden of disaster relief on him. Because Liu Yuan not only wrote to him, but also directly to the court.
When these memorials came to him, he couldn't help throwing them aside, but the military department of the imperial court appreciated them very much and thought their proposal was very appropriate, so it should be done like this.
Because JianNu's navy was established on the basis of the rebels of the Ming Dynasty. It was basically composed of the original Denglai navy of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial court regarded them as a disgrace and a thorn in the eye. If they could be destroyed, the imperial court would agree very much.
Zhang Fengyi, the Minister of the Ministry of war, saw the letter from the local government. He basically didn't hesitate. He immediately agreed, and transferred to the cabinet. Finally, the Ministry of war and the cabinet issued an order to Denglai town to restrict them to wait for the opportunity and look for an opportunity to destroy this JianNu water division.
JianNu has always had no navy. Now that they have a navy, they will become big at any time and eventually become fine. In fact, they are almost fine now. Even they heard Kong Youde's suggestions far away in the capital, urging Huang Taiji to cross the sea to attack Denglai area, cut off the Yunhe River and encircle the capital of Daming from behind.
The order of the Ministry of war turned back to Denglai Town, which made Chen YingYuan white. He hated Liu Yuanqiao. He didn't have such a big head. Why did he toss such a big hat? Now the imperial court assigned him to do it. What should he do?
However, just when Chen YingYuan hated him to the bone and was quite angry, Liu Yuanqiao visited Chen YingYuan again. This time, he arrived at the governor Xingyuan of Dengzhou in his official clothes, sitting on the Batai bridge, with a full set of honor guards. There were not more than 200 fierce knights, arrogant, domineering and arrogant like last time.
After the two of them met the ceremony, Chen YingYuan said, "Lord Liu, you have caused great trouble for me."
Liu Yuanqiao said: "the rebel Navy deployed by JianNu in Lushunkou poses a great threat to the whole Denglai town. If we don't eradicate this enemy, we will face the other party's surprise attack at any time, and we can't even sleep well."
Chen YingYuan said: "I also know this problem, but look at the strength of the Dengzhou Navy. They are simply unable to organize a counterattack, and they are not opponents of the rebel Navy“
Liu Zhuanqiao said, "Lord Chen, this is your fault. Since the local forces can't resist, why don't you ask the imperial court for support? The imperial court is in the south, but it has a strong naval force."
Chen YingYuan said to him, "if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly. I know you have a plan."
Liu Yuanqiao said: "Zheng Zhibao, Fujian coastal guerrilla general, is the in laws of the lower officials. He is also full of the heart of serving the country and is willing to share his worries for the imperial court. He also has a fleet in his hand. If the imperial court orders, he can lead the fleet north to strengthen the coastal defense strength of Leiden Town, and protect the northern coastal areas of the Ming Dynasty and eliminate this rebel Navy."
Chen YingYuan said to him, "even so, will the governor of Fujian release people?"
The navy is the lifeblood of the place. Which place will be willing to let people go?
Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "of course, Fujian Fu will not allow it, but as long as you write to the court and the court orders general Zheng to transfer to the north, he will immediately lead his fleet to the north. His fleet belongs to Zheng's private, and Fujian Fu can't control his part, because it's a semi private military force."
Chen YingYuan was very happy, but he also knew that there was no free lunch. He asked, "what do you want?"
Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "the current Dengzhou general is high, mediocre and inactive. He is dying, brave and handsome. He is dead and steals the target camp. If adults can appoint Zheng Zhibao guerrilla general as Dengzhou general, he will naturally lead his own fleet north to serve the imperial court and adults."
Chen YingYuan wanted to come right away.
It turned out that the other party was interested in the position of Dengzhou's general army. In fact, Dengzhou has a navy, and the navy is also under the control of Dengzhou's general army, but the highest establishment of Dengzhou's navy is guerrilla. He died in the Wuqiao mutiny, and his subordinates followed the rebels to escape to JianNu across the Bohai Sea.
He immediately realized that Liu Yuanqiao was very treacherous and smart. In this way, the military power of Denglai basically fell into the hands of their Liu Zheng family.
He is the prefect of Laizhou, and his in laws are the chief soldiers of Dengzhou. He is the strongest here.
If you let them toss around for a few more days, the whole Denglai town will become the property of their family, but Chen YingYuan must also consider one point, that is, the imperial court has many discussions now, and his Denglai governor is redundant. The voice to remove him is very high. If they make some achievements, it is estimated that the other party will think so.
For Chen YingYuan, letting Zheng Zhibao come to Dengzhou as the chief soldier of Dengzhou is equivalent to drinking to quench his thirst, but when there is wine for him, he is still ready to drink, but he is worried that if Zheng Zhibao comes, their two families will be equivalent to controlling the local military and political power, just like those generals in western Liaoning.
