Chen Yixin still made a small mistake in judging the situation. The first people who fled to Dengzhou were not the common people whose homes were destroyed, but the officials and officials who traveled long distances in carriages with their petty servants and servants. Wealthy rich man.
The resources and information held by these upper-class people are far superior to those of ordinary people. When they realize that the place where they live will be swept by war, they flee the war zone as quickly as possible.Taking chariots and horses all the way is naturally much faster than ordinary people fleeing on two legs.
As for which direction to flee is the safest choice, their news is better, and of course they know this better than ordinary people-the only army in Shandong that can steadily defeat the Qing army is not in Jinan City, but in Dengzhou The Haihan Army in Fushan County.Wherever you flee, it is better to flee to Dengzhou Insurance first.
This understanding naturally comes from Haihan's undefeated record in the Liaodong area and the Korean battlefield in recent years.Although these battlefields are far away from Shandong, the results of the battle will still flow into Daming through various news channels, and those who are interested will naturally learn about the relevant information.
The vast majority of people actually don’t understand the real situation of Haihan’s garrison in Fushan County, Dengzhou. It is generally believed that this measure should be to protect Haihan’s local business industry. After all, Fushan County is already famous, even if it is not engaged in commercial trade. In this business, most of them have heard that the local sea trade business is in full swing, and there is a faint tendency to become the number one trading port in northern Daming.
Since Haihan has business and property in the local area, it is reasonable to station some armed forces, and it is rumored that as long as he enters Fushan County, he can get Haihan's asylum.Although such rumors do not know where they come from and whether they are true or not, people in the midst of the war do not have so much time to wait for verification, so they must go to the local area first.
There are even some people who think that the land route is too slow, so they directly take a boat down the lower reaches of the Yellow River, cross Laizhou Bay after going out to sea, cross the Miaodao Strait eastward, and reach Zhifu Port directly by sea.
Of course, those who can mobilize ships on the Yellow River and slip away from the Qing army's eyes during this time of chaos are definitely not ordinary people.
At this time, most of the civilians who escaped from the warring areas had just left Jinan Prefecture and were still in Qingzhou and Laizhou.Therefore, the first place in Fushan County to be crowded with foreigners is not the long-standing immigrant camp, but the local hotels and inns.
However, because there are many merchants coming and going in and out of Fushan County at ordinary times, and similar situations will occur in peak seasons, this situation did not attract the attention of the Ma family at first, until a few days later, the local demand for buying and renting houses suddenly skyrocketed. It just attracted attention.
"Why didn't you report this situation earlier?" After hearing the news from Jiang Sheng, Chen Yixin couldn't help being a little unhappy: "Didn't I tell you the day I just came back that we should pay attention to the people coming from Jinan Prefecture recently? The news that can bring us may be very valuable!"
Although Jiang Sheng is an elder, he did not dare to put on airs in front of Chen Yixin, and even claimed that it was due to his negligence.
Chen Yixin couldn't get angry at him, so he could only skip Jiang Sheng's mistake and ask him if he had already investigated the relevant personnel.
Jiang Sheng responded: "Take the time to ask a few people, and the situation they said is similar, so I will report first, and I have arranged for people to check all the hotels and inns in the county. In addition, I have transferred some people to the official road and the wharf today. Set up checkpoints to check and register those who enter Fushan County via land and water.”
What Jiang Sheng said did not make Chen Yixin feel relaxed. These were actually the tasks he assigned to the Ma family immediately after returning to Fushan County, but now it seems that the Ma family's implementation is not ideal. There is no way to compare with his own men and horses.
Of course, if professionalism is considered, these clerks of Ma's family can't compare with the army ordered by Chen Yixin.Even the management like Jiang Sheng, who is well aware of the seriousness of the current situation, is still unable to achieve the level expected by Chen Yixin in terms of execution.
This kind of implementation also made Chen Yixin doubt whether the plan he made could be implemented smoothly.If various response measures are still not implemented when the influx of refugees into Terengganu, the chaos that will result will be difficult to control.
However, what Jiang Sheng did was not useless. After making a preliminary investigation of the foreigners who arrived in the local area in recent days, he also got some latest news about the battle situation in Jinan Prefecture.
The main force of the Qing army had already penetrated the entire Hebei Province by the end of January, and detected the movement of the Ming army gathering troops near Dezhou.The Qing army did not choose to fight the Ming army in Dezhou, but continued to divide into two groups. The West Route Army broke through Wucheng and Linqing from the west of Dezhou, and went straight to Liaocheng where Dongchang Mansion was located. Ling County, Linyi, Jiyang, arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River.
Although Dezhou has assembled tens of thousands of Ming troops, Yang Sichang, Minister of the Ministry of War who was in charge of commanding the battle, was originally a peacemaker and had no intention of letting the Ming troops in Shandong fight the enemy to the death. Take preventive measures. When the Ming army realized that the enemy deliberately bypassed Dezhou and did not fight, the Qing army had already organized a crossing on the banks of the Yellow River.
The prefectures and counties that had been holding a wait-and-see attitude on the south bank of the Yellow River suddenly panicked. At this time, they could no longer organize enough armed forces to prevent the Qing army from crossing the river.Most of the first group of people who escaped from Jinan Prefecture and other places heard that the Qing army was about to cross the river and attack the city, so they dared not stay there anymore, so they fled outside.Earlier, Chen Yixin received a report from Jiang Sheng in Jinzhou, saying that the Qing army had arrived near Jinan, which was the situation in this period.
Then time entered February, and the Qing army crossed the river at the same time in Pingyin in the upper reaches and Jiyang in the lower reaches, forming an east-west attack on Jinan City.
Before the Ming Dynasty, Jinan city had only rammed earth city walls, and it was not until the Hongwu period that bricks and stones were covered outside the city to transform it into a stronger brick and stone city wall.In the 20th year of Wanli, the fifth year of Tianqi, and the seventh year of Chongzhen, they were rebuilt and expanded several times. There were Qichuan Gate, Lishan Gate, Luoyuan Gate, and Huibo Gate. It is five feet thick and has a circumference of more than ten miles. There are defensive facilities such as city towers, archery towers, corner towers, enemy towers, and shop houses. Build it.
So even if the city defenses were empty, not many people thought that the Qing army could break through such a fortified city.Those who really fled were almost all people from the surrounding areas of Jinan City.The top figures in Jinan City, including the whole family of De Wang Zhu Youshu, stayed in the city and did not choose to evacuate Jinan.
After the Qing army formed a siege of Jinan, the local area has become a blind spot, and the outside world can hardly know the progress of the war.The fast-footed people who have fled to Fushan County now only know that the Qing army has gathered near Jinan City, with a total of more than [-] people.As for whether Jinan City fell or not, it is still inconclusive.
After listening to Jiang Sheng's report, Chen Yixin can roughly judge that the situation of Jinan City should be basically the same as the original history. The city's defenses are empty and there is no rescue, and the soldiers and civilians in the city do not have enough combat capabilities. It is only a matter of time before the Qing army breaks through.
According to historical records, the Qing army arrived in Jinan on the New Year's Eve, and broke through the city of Jinan on the second day of the first lunar month.If calculated according to this time, even if there is a slight error in the historical trend of this time and space, it is almost time.
Chen Yixin knew that with Jiang Sheng's ability, he might not be able to get more information from those upper-level people who had fled.He could only tell Jiang Sheng again to pay close attention to all the tasks he had assigned, and never slack off.
After Jiang Sheng left, Chen Yixin asked his personal guards to invite the leading officer of the Special Operations Regiment who had just arrived in Zhifu Port.Judging from the current situation, he believes that relying solely on the power of the Ma family can no longer effectively implement his plan, and the army must be involved in the follow-up arrangements as soon as possible to ensure that the social order here will not become a mess when the refugee wave arrives.
While waiting for the officers of the Special Forces to report to Majiazhuang, another group of people that Chen Yixin had been waiting for for the past few days also arrived.
It was Hao Wanqing and his men who came back in a hurry. Chen Yixin had been looking for Hao Wanqing from the moment he set foot in Fushan County this time, but this man and his men went nowhere. The left-behind personnel only know that Hao Wanqing leads the team out to perform important tasks in person. As for the whereabouts are absolutely confidential, Hao Wanqing only leaves a time limit when he leaves. situation, and there must be the presence of high-ranking Haihan officials.
As soon as Hao Wanqing returned to Fushan County, he heard the news of Chen Yixin's arrival, so he went straight to Majiazhuang to see him.
Chen Yixin actually guessed that Hao Wanqing probably went to Jinan. After all, if the Ministry of Security was not aware of such an event, then Hao Wanqing, who was in charge of the intelligence work, would have greatly neglected his duty.
Chen Yixin hadn't seen Hao Wanqing for a long time, so when he saw Hao Wanqing walking in, he couldn't believe his eyes.
Hao Wanqing has gained a lot of weight, with a beard and long hair, and with his clothes, he looks like a rich man of Ming Dynasty.
"Your security department is really so short of people, even you, the head of the family, have to go to battle in person?" Chen Yixin asked jokingly.
Hao Wanqing sat down on the chair opposite Chen Yixin, and the chair creaked under his weight. He raised his hand and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said, "I have traveled hundreds of miles to report the news, you boy. Don't give me a cup of hot tea, are you still kidding me?"
Chen Yixin sneered, and quickly called the guard in, asking him to pour a cup of hot tea for Hao Wanqing, and then bring some refreshments.
"Minister Hao, have you really gone to Jinan? You're not afraid that you won't be able to get away if you meet the Qing army!" Joking aside, Chen Yixin was still a little worried about Hao Wanqing's personal safety.Although he also knew that Hao Wanqing's field team were all top-notch experts, but if he encountered the Qing army on the battlefield, the field team would definitely not have enough manpower.
Hao Wanqing said: "I can't go to Jinan at all. I haven't left Qingzhou, and I have found traces of the Qing army's activities when I arrived near Zibo. I originally planned to go to Zhangqiu at least, but I heard that there are many mountains and plains in the west of Zhangqiu. The Qing army, only those who escaped from there, no one dared to go west. The troops gathered in Denglai and Laizhou were all stationed near the capital city of Qingzhou, and they dared not go to reinforce Jinan."
Chen Yixin frowned and said, "So, the Qing army has already entered Qingzhou?"
Hao Wanqing said: "The main force should not have come to Qingzhou, but a small group of troops has already been operating in Qingzhou. It is said that even traces of the Qing army have been found near Shouguang."
"Shouguang? That's almost to Laizhou Prefecture!" Chen Yixin frowned and said, "The scope of the Qing army's activities seems to be larger than the historical records we know."
Jinan City, the main battlefield of this battle, is [-] miles away from Fushan County. It is reasonable to say that the Qing army will not pose a direct threat to Fushan County, but the Shouguang mentioned by Hao Wanqing is only about [-] miles away from Fushan County.This distance is only two or three days' journey for the cavalry of the Qing army who come and go like the wind.If the actual situation has been different from the original historical facts, it is hard to say whether the Qing army's attack will stop at Jinan.
Qingzhou and Laizhou are equivalent to blocking the buffer zone between Jinan Prefecture and Dengzhou Prefecture, but if the Qing army has entered this area, the damage it will cause may exceed Chen Yixin's previous estimation.
Hao Wanqing said: "It is said that the strength of the Qing army entering Jinan Mansion this time exceeded 6. Of course, it is not necessary to have so many troops just to attack Jinan City, so it is a very reasonable arrangement to divide the troops and loot everywhere. As far as I know In the current situation, there are about [-] to [-] refugees who fled south from the northeastern part of Jinan Prefecture into Qingzhou. However, Qingzhou does not have enough receiving capacity, and the government did not take timely measures to calm people's hearts, which made more The people in Qingzhou panicked. As soon as the Qing army showed up in Qingzhou, the local people in Qingzhou began to flee in large numbers.”
Chen Yixin sighed and said, "In times of chaos, ordinary people can only escape if they want to survive!"
Hao Wanqing took a few sips of the hot tea that had just been delivered, put down the teacup and continued: "In my opinion, Jinan must be hopeless, let's see how many people can escape in the end! The areas and populations affected by this chaos may be It’s bigger than what’s recorded in the historical records. You must have come here from Liaodong for this, right?”
Chen Yixin nodded and said: "There are so many refugees, we can save some, otherwise even if the Qing army retreats automatically, Shandong will be in chaos for several years."
Hao Wanqing said: "One Fushan County alone can't save so many people. If this place is full, it can receive 3 to [-] people."
Chen Yixin said: "I didn't intend to do this alone. The executive committee will mobilize supplies and transport capacity from various places to try to transport the refugees out of Zhifu Port."
