Chapter 1115 Cruise Liaodong
Seeing that Pan Yan was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer, Tom Wang didn't bother him anymore.In fact, it's not that he didn't think of the possibility Pan Yan mentioned, but he just wanted to continue to frustrate Pan Yan on purpose.After the preliminary interrogation of the group of ex-Ming army soldiers captured yesterday, most of them did not have much obsession with the choice of returning to Shandong, because they would probably be punished for treason after returning. One of the reasons for fighting for Houjin.
Tom Wang's idea is actually very simple. Since these people can fight for Houjin, they can of course become weapons in Haihan's hands after training.In particular, these navy soldiers who are familiar with the sea conditions of the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea are indeed of great use value to the Haihan Navy from the south. If there is a chance to recruit these people, Tom Wang is still willing to try.
After sailing in the bay for about an hour, the fleet arrived near Monk Island in the northern part of the bay.The lookout soldiers on the flagship mast sent a message that an unknown number of sailboats were found docked on the shore ahead. Judging from the shape of the hull, it should be the group belonging to the former Dengzhou Navy who was taken to Liaodong by the rebels. Battleship gone.
"It seems that your colleagues are very low vigilance!" Wang Tom confirmed the identities of these warships through the binoculars, and at the same time, he could see many figures rushing aboard, probably because he had noticed the arrival of the unexpected guests. A hasty reaction followed.
Pan Yan blushed, and quickly argued: "General Wang, this is because the gold thieves are usually under strict control. Without their permission, we can't board the ship and go to sea, let alone conduct daily patrols. If we are in Dengzhou, There must be patrol boats in important waterways, and they must have already noticed the intrusion of outsiders."
Wang Tom said: "These barbarians don't know how to fight at sea. The Dengzhou navy is in their hands. It's a secret investment! Forget it, since they are all Han people, let's let them go this time and don't fight with them." Head to head."
As soon as Pan Yan heard that Tom Wang was willing to take the initiative to avoid him, he quickly thanked him.In this case, Wang Tom didn't order to take the initiative to attack, which means that there is still room for mediation in this matter, and his former comrades-in-arms will not die for nothing.
The Haihan fleet turned around about 2000 meters away from the wharf where the local warships docked, and slowly sailed towards the east coast of the harbor.Before these warships could sail out of the pier, the distance between the two sides had widened to the point where it was difficult for the latter to catch up.
Pan Yan took the initiative to report to Wang Tom: "The Jinzhou Acropolis occupied by the gold thieves is about ten miles north of the pier just now. If the general wants to attack this place in the future, the villain is willing to lead the horse for the adults. .”
Wang Tom nodded and said: "If you perform well, you will have the opportunity to give it to you in the future. As long as it is a talent, I won't be too many here."
When the Haihan fleet started to turn around and sail south out of the harbor, the opponent's warship slowly came out of the sea, but the distance between the two sides had already widened, and with the speed of the Ming army's warship, it was difficult to catch up. .Wang Tom only left a light-hulled, fastest single-masted scout boat behind, in order to find out the number and approximate lineup of warships stationed here.The large troops met the logistics ship staying here outside Jinzhou Bay, and then continued to drive northeast along the coastline.
About 20 nautical miles away from Jinzhou Bay is the Changshan Archipelago, which consists of more than 200 islands, with a total area of about 170 square kilometers.After Daming lost Liaodong, the control of these islands was once in the hands of the Ming army because of Houjin's bad naval warfare.
When it comes to the Long Island Islands, Shang Kexi has to be mentioned.Shang Kexi was born in Haizhou, Liaodong. After the Jin Dynasty invaded Liaoshen, father and son joined the Ming army. Shang Kexi joined the navy in 1623, and went to Phi Island to join his father the following year, and then joined Mao Wenlong.Shang Kexi was highly appreciated by Mao Wenlong, and was adopted as his adopted son and named Mao Yongxi.
Shang Kexi’s father Shang Xueli, a Dongjiang guerrilla, died in Louzishan in the battle with the Hou Jin army. Mao Wenlong handed over the troops led by his father to him to command. Later, when Mao Wenlong was executed by Yuan Chonghuan in 1629, Shang Kexi is already the commander guarding the Changshan Islands, with tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians under his command, he can be considered a moderate local official.
Later, Huanglong, the general soldier of the Dongjiang River, took over Pidao, met Geng Zhongyu and Wang Yingyuan who launched a mutiny, and was detained on the island. After hearing the news, Shang Kexi led his troops back to Pidao to suppress the mutiny, and supported Huanglong to come back to power. So promoted to guerrilla.
In 1633, Shang Kexi was promoted to lieutenant general because of his meritorious service in suppressing the rebellion in Lushun. However, in the same year, when Kong Youde attracted Jin soldiers to capture Lushun, Huanglong committed suicide after being defeated. Shang Kexi's family members who stayed in Lushun also drowned themselves.After Huang Long's death, Shen Shikui took over the position of Dongjiang General Soldier. Because Shang Kexi took away the military power from Shen Shikui when he suppressed the mutiny, Shen Shikui always held a grudge against him and wanted to take revenge on him. His subordinate Xu Erxian knew that Shen Shikui's plan to lure Shang Kexi back to Phi Island for arrest had not been implemented.
Afterwards, Shang Kexi sent Xu Erxian, Ban Zhifu and other subordinates to Shenyang to make secret contacts with Houjin, and after obtaining Huang Taiji's promise to reuse them, on the first day of the first month of 1634, he took all his generals, soldiers, civilians and military supplies to join him. Later gold.When Shang Kexi arrived in Shengjing, Huang Taiji went out of the city for thirty miles to meet him, and gave Shang Kexi a very high evaluation and many awards.The lieutenant general of the Ming Dynasty stationed in the Changshan Islands changed suddenly and became the chief officer of the Houjin Army.
After Shang Kexi invested in gold, the Ming army in Phi Island had no time to take care of this place, and then Jin thought this place was useless, and the garrison of the army was useless, it would only waste military expenses and food, and simply gave up occupying it, so Changshan Islands This place became a no man's land.
However, Pan Yan didn't know about the news about Kong Youde's rebels fleeing to Liaodong. These Han surrendered troops were strictly restricted in their activity space and access to information in normal times, and they didn't have a clear understanding of the changes in the external situation. .Pan Yan also didn't know that Mr. Shang, who was guarding Guanglu Island back then, had already joined Houjin, and when he arrived at Guanglu Island, he was still spitting and explaining Shang Kexi's heroic deeds to Wang Tom when he fought against Houjin.
Wang Tom has read this historical record before, and he is very clear that Shang Kexi's life trajectory has taken a 180-degree turn after Huanglong's death. In two years, Huang Taiji will be named King Zhishun, and then he will fight for the Qing Dynasty. Relying on the military exploits of killing corpses and blood, he was finally named Pingnan King by Shunzhi.Shang Kexi, although part of his rebellion against Daming was due to self-preservation, which is understandable, but he was merciless when he killed the Han people in the south, and he can be called a butcher of real value. In 1650, Shang Kexi led troops to attack Guangzhou. After the city was broken, he slaughtered one-fifth of the population of Guangzhou City, which had a population of about 40 at that time, and the methods were also very pungent.
Wang Tom didn't like Shang Kexi very much, so he interrupted Pan Yan's explanation coldly: "The Lord Shang you mentioned has already taken the people from these islands to Houjin at the beginning of this year, and now lives in Haikou. State, to work for Empress Jinhuang Taiji."
Hearing this, Pan Yan could only find it unbelievable: "How...how is this possible? Last year when Kong Youde's rebel army first arrived in Liaodong, Mr. Shang led his troops to pursue and suppress him. Gold thief?"
Wang Tom didn't bother to explain the inside story to him, but said lightly: "I'm going to Guanglu Island soon, whether what I said is true or not, you will find out later when you follow me to the island to have a look."
Guanglu Island is located in the west of the Changshan Islands, less than ten sea miles away from the mainland, with a land area of more than [-] square kilometers, making it the largest island in the Changshan Islands.The island has fertile soil and the most abundant freshwater resources in the Changshan Islands, making it a livable place in the sea.At the beginning, most of the food consumed by Dongjiang Town's troops stationed in the Changshan Islands was locally produced, and the situation was much better than that of Phi Island, which has more people and less land.
There is a natural harbor with an area of about one square kilometer on the southeast coast of Guanglu Island. In the past, one of the main bases of the naval forces of the Ming Army stationed in the Changshan Islands was located here.When the Haihan fleet slowly sailed here, you can still see the well-preserved trestle and dock facilities on the coast.But as Wang Tom said, all the residents of this place have moved to the inland of Liaodong, and there are no people on the beach today except for groups of seabirds flying freely.
Pan Yan looked at the deserted harbor stupidly, and couldn't believe it was true.Since the establishment of Dongjiang Town, Guanglu Island has always been one of the frontier bases for the Ming army to launch a counterattack to the Liaodong Peninsula. In many cases, the land and water armies assembled here before heading towards the land. Although Hou Jin had a headache, this place was like a thorn in his side. However, because they are not good at naval warfare, they cannot attack across the sea.When Pan Yan came here before, the island was a very lively scene, which formed a huge contrast with the barrenness in front of him.
After the fleet docked at the port, Tom Wang sent scouts to scout the vicinity, and at the same time ordered people to find nearby water sources to replenish the fleet's fresh water consumption as soon as possible.Especially for this flagship equipped with a steam engine, the consumption of fresh water during each use of mechanical power is not a small amount.
Because Shang Kexi's troops were only evacuated from the island at the beginning of the year, the houses and various facilities here are still relatively well preserved.The sailors quickly found two wells on the pier that were specially used to replenish fresh water for ships. A simple rocker pumping device was installed at the head of the wells, which could quickly pump up the water from the wells and transfer it directly to the on board.
Wang Tom walked into a nearby house at random, and saw that it was empty inside. Thick cobwebs had formed on the beams and corners of the house, and there was not even a piece of furniture in the house. Obviously, the owner took the house as a piece of furniture when he left. All that was left was removed.From the traces of fireworks left on the stove, it is not difficult for Tom Wang to imagine how this place was once full of life.
Tom Wang walked out of the house, and several teams of men who searched the houses nearby have returned to their orders. They did not find anything of value. It seems that the gratifying people walked leisurely when they evacuated here, taking all the things they could take away. , leaving only an empty island.On the nearby slopes, you can also see long strips of terraced fields cultivated by the islanders in accordance with the terrain. It seems that the legend that this island is rich in food should be true.The terraced fields densely covered most of the hillside, but after being abandoned for such a long time, the fields were already covered with weeds and shrubs. From a distance, they were separated by the ridges of the fields, which looked like deliberately planted flowers and trees.
On such a large island, as long as the agricultural construction can keep up, let alone tens of thousands of people, several times more people can be successfully supported.Haihan started from occupying the island, and he is an expert in the planning and utilization of the island. Wang Tom can roughly judge the development value of the island by looking at the situation on the island and combining his own knowledge. .However, what Haihan lacks right now is not the technology and capital to develop the island, but the most basic factor—labor.
To carry out secondary development on such an island, the labor force required in the initial stage is probably in units of thousands.At present, Haihan's immigration recruitment activities in the area around Zhifu Island are going well, but the recruitment progress is difficult to meet the needs of continuing to open up colonies overseas.If Haihan intends to develop Guanglu Island, then the source of population may have to fall in the direction of Liaodong.However, Haihan is not familiar with the customs and customs of Liaodong. If Pidao can assist in this matter, the process may be a little faster.
"General Wang, this Guanglu Island connects with the Jinzhou Guard and goes up to the Dingliao Right Guard. If you advance, you can attack the inland, and if you retreat, you can go to Phi Island or Shandong. There is no need for villains to say much about the benefits of occupying it. I can definitely think of it." Pan Yan followed Tom Wang, and seeing his thoughtful expression, he quickly urged him to take the opportunity to occupy this place.
Wang Tom recovered from his contemplation, and replied with a smile: "It is easy to occupy, but if it is occupied, there must be enough labor force to cultivate food on the island to be stationed for a long time. Shang Kexi took all the people here, Where am I going to find someone to settle here now?"
Pan Yan replied: "It's not difficult at all. There are at least hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese in the Liaodong area, and most of them are serving as slaves for gold thieves. As long as we try to provide a way out for these people, they will definitely rush to vote. However, General Wang is a foreigner and probably doesn't know much about the situation in Liaodong, so if we can get the Dongjiang army to help, it will be more effective with half the effort."
"You thought of it with me." Seeing that Pan Yan's suggestion was to discuss cooperation with Dongjiang Army first, Wang Tom's idea became more determined.It doesn't matter if this uninhabited island is occupied a few days earlier or later, but if Dongjiang Army can be persuaded to cooperate with him as soon as possible, then the time for Haihan to officially enter this area may be much earlier.
