Chapter 274 I Want to Unify the Country

With the assistance of hundreds of small and small boats, more than 3,000 horses and more than 20,000 officers and soldiers successfully landed in Liaodong.

While the troops landed, there was a cavalry of more than a thousand people scattered to ensure the safety of the army's marching. These cavalry were all wearing Qing army armor, which was quite deceptive, but just as Mao Chengdou said.

In Liaodong, except for Chenyang and several large cities in Liaoyang, there are only Xiuyan and Phoenix City, two small cities with a population of only more than 10,000 in Liaodong. Therefore, there is no valuable goal in the entire Liaonan mountainous area, and even in the large Liaonan mountainous area, there is no village for "destruction".

However, even so, Zhu Guoqiang knew how long the news could not be hidden, and his time was getting less and less, so when the troops completed their landing, he issued an order to set off.

This army that crossed the ocean to Liaodong immediately marched along the remote mountain path towards Chenyang. With the help of horses and sleds, the troops marched very quickly. Although there were almost no villages in the mountains, there were still some hunters. Once they were discovered by the whistleblowers, they would be killed by the whistleblowers wearing Qing army armor, and the villages they encountered on the marching road would be massacred to avoid leaking information.

Due to the massacre of Nurhaci for more than ten years, the mountainous areas in southern Liaoning were no longer crowded. As a result, on the way to cross the mountains in southern Liaoning, they only encountered more than a dozen hunters in the mountains, and even Han people who had been hiding in the mountains for many years. When they discovered that this army was actually the king's army, they immediately took the initiative to lead the way for them.

In the following days, the officers and soldiers who marched along the mountain road day and night would cover the extinguished fire with snow... But despite this, the road was still extremely bloody, but this was also a helpless move to ensure concealment.

The heavy snow and biting cold wind flying in Liaodong are undoubtedly the best cover for the army's actions.

After gaining experience in marching in northern Jiangsu, the army that lies out all the way day and night did not attract the attention of outsiders until it entered the Liaoyang Plain.

The clouds dissipate and the moon rises, and a bright moon is particularly pale.

Lin Xiao swayed under the night wind, making waves of whimpering from time to time. The wind from Liaodong blew on people, like a knife. Even though he was wearing thick cold-proof clothes and a sheepskin hat, Zhu Guoqiang could still feel the biting cold wind.

Under the moonlight, thousands of sled cars rush quickly under the drag of horses. The snow-covered Liaoyang Plain is like a natural ski resort, becoming a paradise for sled cars. It no longer needs to look for mountain trails when walking between mountains, let alone bridges and roads. The vast land is like the sea, allowing the army to rush.

Even, for Zhu Guoqiang, this is an ocean!

This is a sea of ​​ice and snow!

Horse-drawn sleds are boats on the ocean, and all he needs is accurate positioning.

"As long as we bypass cities like Liaoyang, no one will find us!"

Zhu Guoqiang said confidently to Chen Wudi, who was sitting on the sled. The reason why he had such confidence was entirely because he had an information in his hand that outsiders did not know - an accurate map of Liaodong, which accurately marked the locations of the Qing cities such as Liaoyang and the distribution areas of the Eight Banners. With the help of sextant and clocks, he could accurately avoid them and accurately find the destination of this trip - Shengjing.

Times will change, but the latitude and longitude of the city will not change!

"Criminal Master, what would happen if Huang Taiji knew that we actually killed him in his nest?"

Not to mention that Chen Wudi was curious, even Zhu Guoqiang himself was also curious. What will Huang Taiji react at that time...

In fact, for Huang Taiji, no matter what, he never expected that one day the army would attack his lair from the sea.

For him, who had just learned about the situation in the Central Plains from the messenger in the pass, he was in a state of extreme excitement at this time.

"Mr. Fan, look, the richest man in the world is indeed just Nanzhili. Prince Rui just grabbed a circle in Haizhou and robbed more than 6 million stones of grain! Tens of millions of taels of silver! This time, our Qing Dynasty no longer has to worry about food!"

Not only do we have to worry about food anymore, the Eight Banners will definitely be happy this time. Why do all the Eight Banners be very happy when they send troops? The same is true for their wives, it is simply because they can loot. They are willing to go to the battlefield because they can loot the property of the Han people. Even what they say when sending troops is "going to rob the west."

Robbery is the foundation for maintaining the combat effectiveness of the Eight Banners!

"Actually, it's thanks to Fan Yongdou who was able to bring the food back this time. If he hadn't thought of walking on the sea, the food would have been burned out in one fire. It seems that this boat master is indeed useful..."

The first time Huang Taiji realized the role of the navy, of course, this was also helpless. Although the Qing Dynasty had a navy after Kong Youde came to join the Qing Dynasty, for the Ming Dynasty, in the following years, the most worried thing was whether the Qing army would use Kong Youde's navy to invade Shandong and other places. This was even the main reason why the canal was dry and the grain was still not transported by sea.

But in fact, whether for the need to attack the Ming Dynasty or to prevent Kong Youde from rebelling against the Qing Dynasty, after using Kong Youde Navy to sweep away the military and civilians of Dongjiang Town on the coastal islands, Huang Taiji asked him to drag the boat to the shore and let it blow the wind and sun, and the boats had long turned into a pile of rotten wood.

This time, the reason why I accepted Fan Yongdou's suggestion and transported the money and grain stolen from the Southern Dynasty back to Liaodong by sea was, after all, because the losses last year were too great. Even as the emperor, he needed to use generous spoils to make the Eight Banners return to their hearts. To put it bluntly, the "dirt division system" from top to bottom has united people's hearts.

"Emperor, in fact, compared to Prince Rui, Doro Rao Yubeile's side is more important. If things happen, I dare say that the Southern Dynasties have only three or five years left..."

Doro Rao Yubeile is Abatai. When he mentioned him, Fan Wencheng said again.

"That Hou Fangyu is indeed a talented person. After he returns to Shengjing, the emperor may wish to reuse it!"

"Well, that's true! Since I'm a talent, I will naturally reuse it."

Nodding heavily, Huang Taiji was quite content with his self-satisfaction, but he was also fascinated by the south.

"Mr. Fan, what do you think of the Southern Dynasty?..."

At this time, it was the proud Huangtaiji that there was a large army that had already reached the city of Shengjing...
Chapter completed!
