Chapter 1354
According to the prior agreement with Zheng Ai, regardless of whether the operation is successful or not, Zheng Ai will try his best to send news back to Dengzhou.For this reason, Zheng Ai also specially carried several fireworks used in the army to send messages and warn, in case the results of the operation were confirmed and the signal would be sent to a distant place, and the personnel lurking in the distance would bring the news out of the Haihan occupied area. Then it was sent back to Dengzhou City by the messenger waiting in Guxian Town.In this way, even if the operation fails, Dengzhou City still has time to take some preparations.
But for a whole day, no fireworks appeared in the sky over Majiazhuang, and if Zheng Ai and the others hadn't done anything, they should have set foot on the return journey before nightfall at the latest.Neither of these two things happened, so it can only point to one result - Zheng Ai and others took action, but they were quickly suppressed by Haihan, and they didn't even find a chance to release the fireworks that reported the news.
Although this result did not exceed Liao Jie's expectations, disappointment is always inevitable, and he did not expect that Zheng Ai and others would not even be able to win the opportunity to issue a warning, so it must be the fault of both parties The difference in combat power is too great.But what Liao Jie didn't expect was that Haihan had been paying attention to this matter for more than a month, and he had figured out Zheng Ai's way in advance, and set up a trap in Majiazhuang for him to fall into the trap.Under such circumstances, if Zheng Ai and others can still let off fireworks to report the news, it will appear that the Haihan army is too incompetent.
Liao Jie sent the messenger with a gloomy face, and then ordered to his followers to deploy the scouts to the front line of Guxian Town to closely monitor the movements of the Haihan people in the direction of Fushan County.Although he still insisted that the Haihan people would not attack Dengzhou City as a means of retaliation, the necessary early warning measures must be put in place.
As for the life and death of Zheng Ai and the others, if Liao Jie were to choose an ending, he probably hoped that no one in the team would die, because only in this way could they keep their identities secret and avoid Hai Han's death. Take this to burn the flames of war to Dengzhou City.However, Liao Jie didn't have too much luck in this matter. Since the action had failed, the next trend of the situation had to be considered in the worst way.
When Liao Jie was tense in Dengzhou City, the Zhifu Island Command was also holding a meeting to discuss the next countermeasures.All the travelers, including Chen Yixin, returned to Zhifu Island the next day after the incident, and listened to Chen Yixin's report on the ins and outs of the incident.
Just as the officials in Dengzhou city thought, Haihan's senior officials really didn't intend to make a big fuss by tearing their faces apart. It would not be of much practical benefit to Haihan to start a war at this juncture.And before the winter of this year, the military hopes to join forces with the Pidao Ming Army to carry out another campaign against the Houjin armed forces in the coastal area of the Liaodong Peninsula, so as to clear the way for the entry into Liaodong after the spring of next year as much as possible.
"At present, both the land and sea armies have begun to assemble in Zhoushan Islands, Zhejiang. After winter, the Northern Fleet will still go south like last year. General Shi Diwen and I have already discussed that we will conduct several amphibious combat exercises in Zhoushan Islands this winter. , to warm up the spring offensive in the coming year." Tom Wang introduced to everyone: "So this round of offensive against the Liaodong Peninsula before winter is very important, and it requires the cooperation of all departments. At this time, we may not have There is no way to free up hands and feet to retaliate against the mastermind of this incident."
Wang Tom kept looking at Chen Yixin during the second half of his speech. Obviously, he only gave a special explanation for this in consideration of Chen Yixin's personal feelings.In fact, Wang Tom also had the idea of taking the fleet to the vicinity of Dengzhou City to demonstrate force before this, but Qian Tiandun objected to this, so he didn't insist anymore.And from the perspective of the overall situation, it is indeed inappropriate to change the original task arrangement for this incident at this time.
Naturally, Chen Yixin would not contradict Wang Tom at this time. In fact, before he returned to Zhifu Island, he had already been instructed by Qian Tiandun to maintain an agreement with the top military officials in the meeting, so as to arrange follow-up missions .As for whether to immediately retaliate against the Dengzhou Ming army, Chen Yixin was not in a hurry. Anyway, now that the assassin was alive, he would be able to produce real evidence whenever he wanted to turn against Dengzhou City.
"I have no objection, and I will obey the arrangement of the headquarters." Chen Yixin expressed his attitude calmly.In fact, the team of assassins sent by Dengzhou had no chance of injuring him at all. Instead, it gave him a little limelight in the process of directing the operation.The so-called retaliatory measures actually depend more on whether Haihan has the possibility of profiting from it. As for Chen Yixin, he has nothing personally offended by the other party.
"Release a little news later, let the Dengzhou side know that we are preparing for the war here, and it will be enough to make them nervous for a while." Qian Tiandun's opinion is obviously much more mature, and he solved the current problem in one sentence.
Since it was the Dengzhou Ming army who planned this assassination, they must be prepared for the consequences of failure. As long as Haihan made a slight gesture of going to war, the guilty Ming army would definitely have a greater reaction.Taking this opportunity to sneak around the Dengzhou Ming army and make them nervous for ten days and a half months is a relatively safe way of revenge.
"I'm afraid it's not enough just to release the news, let me add a handful of firewood!" The person who answered the call was Harukon, the commander of the cavalry battalion.
Since winter is about to enter, his cavalry unit will not go to the Liaodong Peninsula with the Northern Fleet for safety and supply considerations, and must stay in Fushan County.However, since the Dengzhou Ming army took the initiative to send an errand to his door, he did not hesitate to use this opportunity to make a fuss, and by the way, it was also used as training for his opponent's cavalry troops.Although the establishment of the cavalry battalion is not large, it is obviously easier for the cavalry to achieve the goal than the infantry to create a lot of excitement.
Harukon's initiative to ask for a battle was quickly passed unanimously. If the purpose was to frighten the Ming army rather than fight with them, then the cavalry was indeed the most suitable unit for this task.As long as they don't leave the area controlled by Haihan too far, the cavalry's supplies won't be too much of a problem.In fact, the cavalry battalion has practiced this for a long time. The solution is to let the cavalry battalion advance along the coastline, and the ships transporting food and grass supplies will follow simultaneously at sea. This will greatly increase the range of activities of the cavalry battalion. Withdraw the cavalry by sea.
In the case that the Ming army in Dengzhou lacked armed forces at sea, such tactics do not need to worry too much about being copied from the sea by the opponent, so the risk is relatively low.The distance from Fushan County to Dengzhou City is only more than a hundred miles, and it only needs to dispatch hundreds of cavalry to make Dengzhou City fall into a state of panic.
Two days later, more than two hundred Haihan armed cavalry took a boat from Zhifu Island to the coast near Guxian Town, and then went directly into the town to search the shop of Zheng Ai, a building material merchant.There is no garrison in the ancient town, only a small number of militia armed forces, but most of these people are looking after the homes and homes of the landlords and gentry in the town, and they will not organize to fight against the Haihan people, let alone the Haihan cavalry came suddenly, and there is no Give them time to react.The first reaction of the people in the town was to close their doors, and they would never try to force their way out at such a time.
However, as a town to the west of Fushan County and the closest to the Haihan occupied area, there are also many merchants in the town who have dealt with Haihan and maintained trade relations. Gu Zi walked out slowly and asked the Haihan cavalry why they came.
Soon, notices stamped with the seal of "Haihan's Office in Shandong" were posted all over the town, which stated the reason why Haihan seized Zheng Ai's shop - colluding with the rebel party and assassinating Haihan officials.As for what kind of rebellious party Zheng Ai colluded with, and why this matter was not handed over to the Fushan County Government, the notice did not mention it at all.The notice stated that the dispatch of the Haihan cavalry was only to arrest the relevant persons involved in the case, and it would not cause any infringement on innocent people, which can be regarded as a calming effect.
Of course, nothing of value could be found in Zheng Ai's shop, but Harukon was not in a hurry to leave the place, but waited at the door of the shop, waiting for his subordinates to tear down the shop, leaving dust and smoke everywhere overflow.He just wanted to let the people of Guxian Town and the Ming army spies who were peeping in the dark know that Haihan's attitude towards this matter would not be easily tolerated.As for the wording on the notice, it was only deliberately left room for avoiding a direct confrontation with the Dengzhou government.
This ransacking of the house lasted for half a day. Everyone in Guxian Town was at risk at the beginning, and then more and more people came out of their homes and gathered near the shops to watch the excitement.However, basically no local people know Zheng Ai’s true identity. They can only sigh with the determination of the Haihan people and Boss Zheng’s ignorance of current affairs. Doing business with the Haihan people is such a profitable business. Why do they take risks and do it irrationally? things.
After Harugong was convinced that the action had achieved the expected effect, he ordered to withdraw the team.The cavalry left the ruined shops and left Guxian Town in a group.As for whether the Haihan cavalry confiscated money or other things from the shop, the bystanders did not know at all.
Not far from Guxian Town, the Haihan cavalry stopped at the edge of a forest.Harugong looked at the official road from Guxian Town to Jijia Town in the north with a binoculars, as if he was waiting for something.Sure enough, a moment later, a fast horse rushed out of the town and headed north along the official road.
Harukon put down his binoculars and smiled contemptuously.He just wanted to let the spies in the town go back to Dengzhou to report the news, so that the Ming army in Dengzhou could get the news earlier, otherwise it would be a waste of expression if the Ming army in Dengzhou was still ignorant after finishing his actions.
The next day, Haihan cavalry also appeared near Jijia Town, which is more than [-] miles away from Guxian Town. After staying on the road for a long time, it quietly disappeared into the wilderness.
"The Haihan cavalry is still sixty miles away from Dengzhou City. My lord, we have to find a countermeasure. You can't wait for them to attack the city?" Come to Liao Jie to discuss countermeasures.He had been stationed in Qishan for a period of time last year, which was a means of seeing the Haihan people up close, and he was not transferred back to Dengzhou until the end of the year.After he left Qishan, he quickly aligned with the Fushan county government, turning a blind eye to Haihan's actions in Fushan county.
"What are you panicking? The scouts reported that Haihan's cavalry was only two or three hundred cavalry. What can such a small number of people do? Can a few hundred cavalry take down Dengzhou City?" Liao Jie reprimanded with a sullen face: "Dengzhou City Thousands of troops are stationed, can't they handle such a small scene?"
Shangguan Ye said: "The Haihan cavalry may not dare to come to Dengzhou City to make trouble, but they have already left the area controlled by Haihan. This will inevitably cause panic among the people, so we must guard against it! If there is chaos in Dengzhou, Mr. Chen will definitely send Responsibility rests on the adults..."
"Master Chen is dedicated to the public. Is he the kind of person you said?" Liao Jie immediately denied it, but his tone changed a little: "...but it is me who maintains the safety of the Dengzhou territory. The Ming army is responsible, and this matter is duty-bound!"
Liao Jie and the prefect Chen Zhongsheng seem to be in harmony, and most of the civil and military officials in Dengzhou know about this. As Liao Jie's confidant, Shangguanye is naturally very aware of the relationship between the two, so he naturally wants to remind his superiors.Of course, Liao Jie would not show any words in front of his subordinates, but he could use other means to express his attitude - he couldn't be caught by Chen Zhongsheng because of this matter.
Although Liao Jie didn't dare to take the initiative to provoke the Haihan army, but now the Haihan cavalry has stepped into the border of Dengzhou. If there is no countermeasure at all, then his official seal as the commander can be handed in earlier.However, he was also very concerned about the combat power of the Haihan cavalry. If the Ming army cavalry was released too far and collided head-on with the opponent to cause an armed conflict, no matter who won, the consequences would be extremely serious.
"Pass down the official order, the detective cavalry will be deployed for [-] miles east and south of Dengzhou City. If there is any enemy, report it immediately, and do not fight the enemy without authorization!" Liao Jie thought for a while, but still issued a relatively conservative order.He believed that the purpose of Haihan's cavalry was to harass rather than destructively attack, otherwise there would be no need to be so reserved in Guxian Town and Jijia Town.At this stage, avoiding another head-on conflict with Haihan is the first condition for stabilizing the overall situation. As long as there are no leaks in Dengzhou City, Chen Zhongsheng should not be able to accuse himself of any crimes.
The cavalry led by Harugong did not stop outside Jijia Town, but continued to slowly advance northwest along the coastline.On the sea about two or three nautical miles away from the coast, a small fleet consisting of four supply ships, four comprehensive transport ships, and two armed warships is also advancing simultaneously.If the cavalry team encounters a large force of the Ming army on land, then the four transport ships will be the retreat of the cavalry battalion.But before that, Harugong will continue to lead the team forward. If the Ming army does not come to stop him, then he will push all the way to the city of Dengzhou.
