    At the Zhenshan Camp training ground, more than 25,000 soldiers were arrayed according to their respective affiliations.  Looking down from the commanding platform, the flags of each battalion head are fluttering in the face, blown by the mountain wind. Under the flags is a sea of ??red with a neat lineup, and the array of swords and guns shows an extraordinary power.  On the general stage, the nine military officers of the Eighth Battalion and the First Bureau of Huluyan were arranged in the middle, waiting for the commander-in-chief Feng Jian to announce the appointment.  Feng Jian awarded each person a seal waistband and the military flag of each battalion, and accepted the oath of allegiance from the commander of the eighth battalion and one commander. Afterwards, the battalion officers would publicly display the military flags awarded by the commander, which caused waves of roars from the soldiers in the audience.  cheer.  On August 13, the fifth year of Chongzhen, based on the recommendations of the Huluyan General Staff Battalion, Feng Jian ordered the redeployment of the newly established Huluyan Army.  Divide the entire army into two military forces, one of which consists of the entire Zhenshan Battalion and two Shenji Battalions, and one part of the Feiqi Battalion is still stationed in Pingdu, training and running-in each newly formed combat battalion, and striving to form combat effectiveness as soon as possible.  The other group consists of the whole teaching battalion, one part of the Shenji Battalion, one part of the Flying Cavalry Battalion, one part of the Chariot Battalion, and one part of the Artillery Battalion. The Huluyan Liaonan Army moved to Lushun. This army is a temporary establishment, and the army commander is the instructor.  The battalion officer Fan Li serves as the battalion officer, and the supervisor is Chen Laoliu, the former supervisor of the 1,000th headquarters of the Zhenshan Battalion. From now on, they will take the Fushan Fleet troop transport through the Nanjiao Lai River to Lushunkou to deploy defenses.  Nearly 100,000 refugees are now pouring into Lushun, and they want to open up wasteland and farm there, so this place will be another focus of Huluyan's military defense.  In addition, Feng Jian ordered that the Military Intelligence Bureau immediately and gradually began to collect intelligence and draw topographic maps from Ganghwa Island to Pyongsan and Jiangdu in North Korea to make advance preparations for future military operations.  According to Feng Jian¡¯s instructions.  Zhao Shougang led various departments of the newly formed General Staff Battalion and conducted the drill after half a month.  Finally, a detailed Liaodong operational plan was made.  This combat plan was quickly approved by Feng Jian, and then the wheels of the Huluyan Army's foreign war began to turn!  After the Mid-Autumn Festival.  Feng Jian led 200 soldiers of the Guards Battalion to take a boat to Lushun. The first batch to accompany them were 800 cavalrymen of the Feiqi Battalion, while the main soldiers of the Liaonan Corps were to go to Lushun with the next batch of naval warships.  If you want to gain a foothold in southern Liaoning, Lushun is the key. The small Lushunkou has a population of nearly 60,000 in just two or three months. It is difficult not to attract the attention of the Eight Banners soldiers stationed in Jinzhou and Fuzhou.  .  At this time, Huluyan suddenly sent more troops to Lushunkou, which only made the Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers stationed on the fourth guard in southern Liaoning more vigilant. Huluyan's vanguard troops arrived in Lushun.  The two sides provoked and tested each other, and small-scale battles were inevitable. The first batch of 800 cavalrymen from the Feiqi Battalion who followed Feng Jian north to Lushun were tasked with small-scale battles with Jiannu.  Now Lushun only has Chen Shishi's 1,000 defenders and Liu Zongxi's 500 Zhenshan camp soldiers. These troops can guard the city without any danger, but they are somewhat unable to protect 60,000 people from reclaiming wasteland and farming from the Eight Banners soldiers who established slaves.  The overall strategy of sending more troops to Lushun is to prepare to spend two to three years consolidating Lushun and its surrounding areas, and to drive the Eight Banners soldiers out of southern Liaoning.  Then the front lines of Lushun, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and Gaizhou were returned to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.  Using the large area of ??ownerless land here to establish a mutual aid association, he organized a large number of people who fled to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land, and eventually managed this place into the second large granary in Huluyan. For this reason, Feng Jian has already begun to make plans to fight with the Jiannu in southern Liaoning.  A big battle.  The Huluyan Liaonan Army is a mixed force of various arms.  There are 8,500 soldiers in total. When combined with the armies of Chen Shiyou and Liu Zongxi in Lushun, the strength will reach more than 10,000.  Coupled with the nearly 100,000 people in the city who were crying for food, the daily food requirements in Lushun City were staggering.  Although Huluyan has sufficient food storage.  But logistics and transportation are a big problem!  How to transport grain to Lushun in a timely and sufficient manner is indeed a big problem.  Although Feng Jian has a large number of warships from the Fushan Fleet, some of the warships from the Fushan Fleet are also responsible for patrolling and inspecting the Kong Youde rebels in Dengzhou.  The remaining warships are responsible for transporting soldiers of the Liaonan Army, and only a few warships can be left to transport food and supplies.  In order to ensure sufficient food supply in Lushun, after several negotiations, Feng Jian ordered the lease of civilian ships transporting goods on the Jiaolai River to transport food and grass between Pingdu and Lushun. Hundreds of cargo trading ships joined in, and the food crisis in Lushun was finally solved.  According to the estimates of the General Staff Battalion, the small and tiny land of Lushun will definitely not be able to station 10,000 soldiers of the Liaonan Army. The soldiers of the Liaonan Army landing in Lushun will soon be detected by the slave sentries. Therefore, the landing soldiers must go to Liaoning.  Nan Jiannu launched a surprise attack to establish a new foothold.  According to the battle plan made by the staff battalion, after the Liaonan Army arrived, it quickly launched a surprise attack on Jinzhou, one hundred and twenty miles north of Lushun, quickly captured Jinzhou, and re-established it.Jinzhou City was built and used as the base of the Liaonan Army to gradually encroach on Fuzhou and Gaizhou in the north.  If Jinzhou is difficult to capture for a while, and Fuzhou and Gaizhou Jiannu come to reinforce, the Liaonan Army will counterattack on the spot. In addition, officers and soldiers of the Fushan Fleet will land along the sea route at Sanling Mountain on the southeast coast of Fuzhou, attack Fuzhou City, and force  The slave-building reinforcements from Fuzhou and Gaizhou withdrew.  Because most of the Jiannu troops were mobilized by Huang Taiji to besiege Dalenghe City, there were not many Jiannu troops stationed at the South Fourth Guard at this time. Without the reinforcements from Fuzhou and Gaizhou, the small number of Jiannu Eight Banners soldiers guarding Jinzhou would be in dire straits.  It was expected to resist the attack of the Liaonan Army and capture Jinzhou City.  On August 20, the fifth year of Chongzhen, a detachment of ten warships from the Fushan Fleet arrived at the simple port of Lushunkou.  Feng Jian stood on the bow of Dafu Ship No. 1 and stared at Lushun, a small city built of rocks. Lushun City was built in the 10th year of Yongle. Xu Gang led the officers and soldiers stationed at the Liaonan Guard Station to build the city. According to the situation at that time, Lushun City was divided into South City and North City.  .  The two cities are two miles apart. They rely on each other and can defend independently. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse, the North City of Lushun was completely destroyed by the Eight Banners soldiers led by Sanbeile Manggurtai, a slave built by the emperor.  Later, Mao Wenlong, the commander-in-chief of Dongjiang Town, sent troops to reoccupy Lushun, which was only used as a supply point for the imperial warships to transport food and supplies. The northern city of Lushun was never rebuilt. Historically, it was not until the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty that the city of Lushun was rebuilt with bricks and stones.  .  What was displayed in front of Feng Jian was the renovated South City of Lushun. The perimeter of the city was one and a half miles, and the height of the city wall was one foot and five feet. It was completely built with rocks collected from Xiguan Mountain one mile away. Outside the city wall was a wide  The trench is three feet long and one foot deep. The trench is filled with sea water. There are only two gates in the north and south for entry and exit. Two hundred steps outside the city is the port.  At this time, many people were coming and going on the Lushun Pier to carry the grain supplies unloaded from the cargo ships at the dock. The people loading and unloading grain supplies did not become very curious when they saw the ten warships docked. Apparently they were used to such scenes.  From time to time, teams of soldiers were on patrol, shouting and scolding those who took advantage of the opportunity to cheat, and the whips in their hands made a "crack" sound.  Where the No. 1 Dafu Ship docked, there were several military generals in bright uniforms standing bowed. Feng Jian recognized at a glance that among these people were Chen Shiyou, the deputy general of Lushun who had taken refuge with him, Liu Zongxi, the commander-in-chief of Zhenshan Camp, and Fushan Fleet Commander.  Always be strict and expensive.  The warship set up the gangplank, and Feng Jian stepped off the warship first. After being bumpy on the sea for several days, he felt a sense of security as soon as his feet set foot on land.  Chen Youyou, Liu Zongxi, and Yan Gui were already waiting beside the springboard. When they saw Chen Youyou, he was always ready to kneel down to salute Feng Jian. When he saw Liu Zongxi and Yan Gui, they were already standing with their feet together, with their right hands clenching their chests, and their eyes excited.  Salute to Feng Jian.  Chen sometimes reacted and hurriedly raised his hands to salute Feng Jian. His movements looked awkward.  Feng Jian returned the military salute casually and said with a smile: "It's really hard for the generals to guard Lushun!"  The comfortable days, with adequate food and clothing, and sufficient food and wages, are completely different from those a few months ago. The general wishes he could lead his soldiers out of the city and kill a few Tatar soldiers in return for your kindness.  "Yeah." Feng Jian could understand Chen Youyou's mood and said with a smile: "There are plenty of opportunities to kill the Tatars. This time I led the army to fight against the Liaonan Jiannu and drive the Jiannu out of Liaonan completely.  " Chen Youyou, Liu Zongxi, and Yan Gui all had excited expressions on their faces at the same time. They were ordered to garrison in Lushun, and they often saw the Tatar cavalry rampantly showing off their power under the city of Lushun, massacring the surviving people outside the city, but they themselves were hindered by military orders.  He couldn't go out of the city to fight, and he had long hated the Tatar soldiers.  Liu Zongxi became excited, and his voice became softer: "If there is a chance to kill the Tatars, none of my subordinates or brothers in the Zhenshan Camp will retreat. If the army attacks, commander, please don't forget us." Feng Jian smiled and said: "About Liaonan  Strategy, the General Staff Battalion has detailed plans. All our soldiers in Huluyan will have the opportunity to go into battle and kill the enemy, so don¡¯t worry. " !! (To be continued)
