Chapter 1516 Changes in the Battle Situation
On the second day after his arrival in Lushun, North Korean envoy Kim Sang-heon offered to go to the front line of the Jinzhou Isthmus to inspect the battle between Haihan and the Houjin army.More than half of the reason why Jin Shangxian took the initiative was because he met Daming's Minister of War here.Although the Haihan people claimed that Master Mei came to Liaodong specially to sign the alliance agreement between Ming and Haihan, but Jin Shangxian always felt that there was something wrong.Even if North Korea wants to form an alliance with Haihan in the end, Kim Sang-heon must fulfill his duties and make sure that this alliance is beneficial and not harmful to North Korea before he can accept it.Before that, he had to personally confirm that the battle between Hai Han and Hou Jin had completely controlled the situation of the battle, as claimed by Wang Tom and others when they were in Seoul.
At present, the restoration project of the official road from Lushun to Jinzhou Isthmus has not been completed, and there are still ten miles of road in the middle because of the recent rainfall, which has made it muddy and difficult for horse-drawn carriages to pass.Considering that the envoys of Ming Dynasty and North Korea had their own teams and entourages, Haihan arranged for them to take a boat to the port of Dalian Bay in the north.
Although there will be no security problems during this route, the Haihan military escorted their fleet in a more grand manner, and half of the Northern Fleet set off northward with them.Jin Shangxian is fine. After all, he had already seen the majesty of the Northern Fleet at close range on the way to Liaodong, and it was the first time for Mei Shengchuan to see the lineup of the Haihan Fleet. In addition to the warships Hong Kong saw, the Haihan Fleet actually had larger warships with more guns. No wonder it claimed to have wiped out all the enemy warships in the Liaodong area.
It is better to take a look at many things than to say a thousand words. Mei Shengchuan saw the style of this fleet, and naturally understood why Dongjiang Town chose to embrace Haihan's thigh.With such a powerful naval force, Haihan can advance and retreat freely in the Liaodong Peninsula at any time, which is indeed much stronger than the Daming Navy.And Dongjiang Town is isolated overseas, without the protection of a powerful fleet, they will fall under Hou Jin's conquest sooner or later, Haihan is willing to extend his hand to them, how can Dongjiang Town let go of such a chance to survive.
But to say a thousand words and ten thousand, after all, it is because Daming's own military strength is not enough to support Dongjiang Town, which is stationed overseas, to continue fighting. Otherwise, how could Uncle and Nephew Shen secretly change their positions and stand with the Haihan people.Even if Mei Shengchuan was dissatisfied, it would be difficult to criticize Dongjiang Town's actions. After all, they made such a choice in order to survive.Besides, Dongjiang Town did not completely betray Daming, at least it provided considerable military information for the imperial court as a reference. Before Mei Shengchuan came, he thought that there would be a lot of false praise of Haihan's military strength in this information, but he came to Liaodong to see it on the ground. Afterwards, he realized that the opposite was true. Dongjiang Town's information was actually discounted, and it did not fully demonstrate the strength of the Haihan Army.
"Haihan has a strong army and is good at management and strategy. If you want to stop it, you can't stop it. You can only see how to use them to benefit Ming Dynasty." Mei Shengchuan slowly turned around with his hands behind his back, and said to Shen Zhixiang: " What does General Shen think?"
Shen Zhixiang hastily bowed and replied: "The general will naturally follow Master Mei's orders."
Mei Shengchuan shook his head and said, "What I want to hear is not this sentence, but your thoughts."
Shen Zhixiang straightened up slightly and said: "My lord, there is no need to say more about the shrewdness of the Haihan people. I must have experienced it a few days ago. If you want to use them to benefit Da Ming, you must first let them learn from Da Ming." Get more benefits."
Mei Shengchuan said: "Benefits? Then let's open the skylight and speak plainly. Your Dongjiang Town has benefited a lot from Hai Han, and I have also gained some benefits from Hai Han through your way, but now they want to let Da Ming in Abandoning power in Liaodong affairs, isn't this going to make me treason? General Shen, you people in Dongjiang Town can continue to stay in Liaodong in the name of resisting Jin, but I will return to Beijing to return to my command. The meaning of the Han people is, what will I give to the higher authorities when I return to Beijing?"
Hearing Mei Shengchuan's tone, Shen Zhixiang had clearly seen through his identity as a lobbyist, so he no longer responded humbly: "My lord, what the imperial court thinks is happiness and what is worry should be clearer than a humble official. Announcing good news but not worrying." , Your Excellency must understand this truth."
Mei Shengchuan said: "It's like before you in Dongjiang Town only reported the military exploits and didn't report the role played by the Hai Han people? This can only be hidden for a while, but it can't be hidden for a lifetime! It's not that the imperial court is ignorant of the situation in Liaodong, otherwise how can you hide it?" I will send my official here to talk with the Haihan people."
"My lord, what is the news that the imperial court wants to hear? Da Ming and Hai Han turned their heads and went to war, and added another powerful enemy, or Da Ming and Hai Han formed an alliance to deal with the Jin people together?" Shen Zhixiang followed the instructions given by Sha Xi before departure. , Continue to persuade Mei Shengchuan bit by bit.There were some things that Shaxi was inconvenient to say, so Shen Zhixiang was allowed to play them.
Mei Shengchuan did not respond to Shen Zhixiang immediately, but fell into deep thought.Undoubtedly, what Shen Zhixiang said was a key issue. When Da Ming had no hope of regaining Liaodong, what kind of situation would be most beneficial to Da Ming. This is the result he should strive for as an envoy of Da Ming.If Haihan refuses to cooperate just because he has occupied some areas in Liaodong, then it will not be Haihan who suffers in the end, but Daming who voluntarily gave up this strong support.
Mei Shengchuan could understand this truth, but he was a little worried that the adults in the court had never seen Hai Han's military strength, and whether he could make them realize the necessity of compromising with Hai Han just by relying on oral or written descriptions.Haihan is very strong, but it is true that he is not strong enough to make Daming take the initiative to bow his head, at least in Mei Shengchuan's view.
And almost the same conversation is taking place on another boat boarded by North Korean envoy Kim Sang-heon.The person in charge of persuading Jin Shangxian is the eldest son of Jin Riguan, the deputy general of Dongjiang Town, and Jin Ping, the current civil affairs officer of the Dongjiang Immigration District in Liaodong.Because of the work relationship, Kim Sang-heon knew the Jin family father and son earlier, and they can be regarded as old friends.After Sha Xi learned of this relationship, he temporarily transferred Jinping from the immigration area to participate in the reception work specially arranged for Jin Shangxian.
Jinping's current official position is 100% of the Haihan establishment, and he has completely given up his idle position in Dongjiang Town. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is now an official of Haihan.Although in name he still belonged to the Daming camp where his father Kim Il Kwon worked, but in fact he served Haihan more often than Dongjiang Town, which had only one title left.
Under such circumstances, Jinping's attitude towards the Three Kingdoms Alliance was basically the same as that of Shen Zhixiang.Let him come forward to do Kim Sang-heon's work, which can also effectively reduce the opponent's defensive mood.Jin Shangxian didn't have as many scruples as Mei Shengchuan, because the king of North Korea, Li Ji, had already witnessed the terrifying strength of Haihan's naval fleet. He came to Liaodong to confirm the degree of Haihan's control over the Liaodong war situation, and whether Da Ming had any differences in this alliance. Views.To put it bluntly, as long as Daming does not open his mouth to oppose North Korea's alliance with Haihan, then North Korea doesn't mind making such a friend who can help him.
In this way, Jinping's persuasion work was much easier than that of Shen Zhixiang, and he could also calmly communicate with Jin Shangxian about the current resettlement and farming progress of the immigrants from Dongjiang Town in Liaodong.In the future, Dongjiang Town will no longer have to eat for free in North Korea, and Kim Sang-heon, as the minister of North Korea, is naturally happy to see what he has achieved.
The voyage from Lushun Port to Dalian Bay is very short, starting in the morning, it only took half a day to arrive.When the fleet docked in Dalian Bay, the sky began to gradually darken. This time, the envoys of Ming Dynasty and North Korea finally met Bai Kesi, the head of Haihan stationed in Liaodong, as soon as they landed.
Both Mei Shengchuan and Jin Shangxian had been informed of Bex's status before, so they followed the diplomatic etiquette and paid a visit to Bex.The North Koreans even prepared a special gift list for this, which can be regarded as a lot of effort.
Beks' attitude was very clear. Since the envoys of the two countries came to see the situation of the battle, they should immediately arrange for the guests to go to the war zone.So the envoys of the two countries boarded the carriage as soon as they disembarked, and then went to the Jinzhou Isthmus defense line under the escort of the Haihan cavalry.
When the convoy drove into Jijiabao at the eastern end of the isthmus defense line, lanterns and torches were already lit outside the gatehouse of the fortress. After they got off the car, Beks took the initiative to introduce: "This Jijiabao is completely different from the original. After the people took this place, they dismantled the whole fort and rebuilt it. What you see now is the Ji Family Fort, which has just completed the main project. It may take a while to eat dinner, so I will start Let me show you around this place."
The envoys of the two countries noticed that the castle was not a square city, but a strange radial structure. There are also two lower fortifications, distributed in steps.And these three fortifications all have artillery forts. It is not difficult to imagine the terrible lethality of the upper, middle and lower three-story forts firing together during the battle. Mei Shengchuan even thought that this kind of three-dimensional artillery tactics must have a certain relationship with the strange shape of the castle. Relationship.
Of course, even Daming couldn't imitate such a luxurious way of deploying weapons. There were at least a dozen of these artillery pieces that they saw everywhere they could see.North Korea does not have such cannon-casting technology, and although Daming can cast cannons by itself, at most two large-caliber cannons can be deployed in a castle, and the rest are all short-range lethal weapons such as Franco cannons. Naturally, it can't compare with Haihan's all-standard artillery.
Kim Sang-heon couldn't help but recall that when Wang Tom visited Seoul earlier, he had mentioned in the talks with King Li Ji that weapons could be sold to North Korea.But now it seems that even if you spend money to buy them back, if you want to learn how to use these weapons, you will still need the help of the Haihan people.But if all the pass cities in North Korea can be equipped with artillery, then why should they be afraid of the threat of force from the Jin people?The Haihan people said that they could barter, or even use labor to offset the price of weapons, so it seems that they can have a good discussion with the Haihan people about how to do this business.
Although Mei Shengchuan knew from the information provided by Dongjiang Town that Haihan had an almost invincible advantage in heavy weapons and equipment, seeing such densely packed forts with his own eyes was still a great shock.This is just an armed fortress thousands of miles away from the mainland of Haihan. The weapons equipped are of such a scale. It is really hard for him to imagine what Qiongzhou Island in the south is like, which is run like an iron barrel by the Haihan people. A scene.
Although the conditions in Jijiabao were relatively simple compared to those in the rear, Beks, as the landlord, arranged a relatively simple barbecue feast for their arrival.It was just because this place already belonged to the war zone, and the supply of alcoholic beverages was extremely strictly restricted, even if Beks was present, he did not intentionally break such rules.However, the envoys of the two countries were not in the mood to drink and have fun in such an environment. Instead, they took this opportunity to ask Beks about the issues they were interested in.
What Mei Shengchuan is more concerned about is the current situation in Jinzhou. Although Dongjiang Town will send news of success to the capital almost every month, Mei Shengchuan now believes more in the words of the Haihan people.After all, the battle results reported to the imperial court in Dongjiang Town should have been arranged by the Haihan people.
Bai Kesi did not answer this question himself, but handed it over to Qian Tiandun, the commander-in-chief of the Golden State Defense Line.The envoys of the two countries originally thought that this General Qian would be like the Haihan military officers he had seen before, proudly showing off Haihan's glorious achievements in Liaodong, but the fact was not as they expected.
Qian Tiandun told them very seriously that with the continuation of the war, the opponents were no longer as unable to adapt as they were when they first fought.Recently, the Jin people have also thought of many ways to weaken the huge advantage of the Haihan Army in terms of weapons and equipment.For example, they would use wet quilts with soil as a cover, and put them on the front of the trolley to cover the infantry's offensive against Haihan's musket formation.Although this kind of mobile bunker is primitive, its protection is much better than the wooden shield, rattan shield and animal skin shield currently equipped by the Houjin Army. kind of bunker.
For this reason, the Haihan army had to take the initiative to reduce the frequency and scope of infantry activities in the area north of the defense line. Even if it was to be dispatched, it had to cooperate with cavalry and artillery to avoid being surrounded by the opponent after penetrating into the enemy's active area.
In addition, Hou Jin also began to frequently use Han civilians as human shields to attack the Haihan line of defense.Qian Tiandun believes that Geng Zhongming, who is currently confronting the Haihan army in the north, should be the one who came up with this wicked tactic, because every time the Jin army launched this tactic, there were many Han Chinese spies in disguise among the civilians. After approaching Haihan's position, wait for an opportunity to launch an attack.
