The coastal defense battery built at the commanding heights near the entry and exit channels is undoubtedly the most reliable defense guarantee in the local area.However, judging from the current situation in the Liaodong area, these fortifications will probably not come in handy for a foreseeable period of time.
The Manchu Qing in the north had lost their outlets in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea, and could no longer threaten Lushun Port from the sea.North Korea in the east is originally an ally of Haihan, and the large-scale mobilization of North Korean troops even had to be notified to Haihan first, and every move was under Haihan's control.Although the Ming army in the west still retains a navy in theory, almost all of them are on duty in the inland river and no longer go out to sea, so as to avoid the range of activities of the Haihan Navy as much as possible.
The main local military and political officials in Lushun had already waited in line on the pier to welcome the arrival of the superior officials.
After a group of people docked and landed, Bai Letong noticed that there was a stone tablet standing on the pier. After asking Chen Pingliao, he learned that this was the monument for Haihan's landing in Liaodong.
In the winter of 1635, Haihan launched the Battle of Lushunkou. After landing here, he defeated the Hou Jin army stationed here, which also opened the prelude to Haihan's strategy in Liaodong.On the tenth anniversary of Haihan's landing in Liaodong, Chen Yixin ordered the construction of this monument to remind future generations and remember the achievements of the Haihan army in expanding its territory.
A colonel officer in a navy uniform stepped forward quickly and saluted everyone.Chen Yixin introduced his identity, that is, the chief officer of the Lushun Port Garrison, Shen Zhixiang, the captain of the North Sea Fleet.
Shen Zhixiang is a child of Dongjiang Town, and his uncle Shen Shikui is the last general of Dongjiang Town.Dongjiang Town lost Liaodong back then, and could only be stationed on Phi Island near North Korea. The supplies were scarce and it was difficult to survive. In the end, it had to seek refuge in Haihan in order to survive.Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Dongjiang Town were also dispersed and resettled to Jinzhou, Dengzhou and other places.
And Shen Zhixiang joined the Haihan Army at that time. Thanks to his background and the fact that Haihan had the objective demand of appointing officers from Dongjiang Town to gain the hearts of the people, his starting point was much higher than that of the ordinary Ming army who was recruited. , Entering the army started as a second lieutenant staff officer, and was later sent to the Naval Academy in the south for further study, and participated in a series of military operations of the Haihan army against the Qing army in the Liaodong area, with an impeccable resume.
At that time, the executive committee attached great importance to the recruitment of Dongjiang Township, and held several meetings to discuss the placement and appointment plan of Dongjiang Township personnel. Of course, Bai Kesi knew Shen Zhixiang's identity and origin, and why he was able to take up this position. I specifically asked about Shen Shikui's physical condition.In order to avoid suspicion and also to pave the way for Shen Zhixiang, Shen Shikui handed over his military authority early on and retired to the second line, retaining only the position of military advisor in the northern region, and now he lives in Jinzhou to live his life.
In fact, like Shen Zhixiang, there are quite a few Dongjiang Town personnel who continue to work hard in the army after joining Haihan. Even today, in the Northern Region Army, there are many people from Dongjiang Town.Of course, the object of their allegiance has long since changed from the Ming court to Haihan.
It was getting late at this time, so they didn't arrange any more visits for the guests, so they went directly to the naval base by car to rest.
The next day, Bai Kesi and his party went to Lushun Naval Base for inspection.
Although the northern region currently has three large bases in Lushun Port, Zhifu Port, and Qingdao Port, and there are two garrisons in Datongjiang and Yizhou in the North Korean direction, the scale of garrisons in other regions still cannot be compared with Lushun.
Nearly half of the warships of the North Sea Fleet are still stationed at Lushun Base, including two Majestic-class warships, twelve Expedition-class warships, more than [-] Exploration-class warships, and eight Sailfish-class fast reconnaissance ships. Ten Barracuda-class troop carriers, twelve Yugong-class comprehensive supply ships and a large number of combat ships.The combat power here alone is enough to form a military advantage in the Yellow Sea and Bohai Sea.
After nearly 20 years of continuous reconstruction and expansion of the entire military port base, the scale is quite amazing. The port area spread along the two sides of the Dragon River estuary is several miles long, with dozens of large and small berths, which can accommodate two people in wartime. Warships twice the size of the North Sea Fleet stopped in the port for supplies.
There are various storage and supply facilities in the port area. Bex saw not only the belt conveyor for loading and unloading coal, but also the diesel storage tanks built under the ground.Although currently there are very few ships equipped with diesel engines like the Bex, and this kind of oil storage equipment can only be idle for most of the time, it can be seen from this that the Lushun base is already making preparations for future development. get ready.
Bai Letong asked his father in a low voice: "The diesel stored here is all shipped from the south?"
Beks nodded slightly and said, "This is the case at present, but after a while, the Liaodong region should be able to produce oil, and it may be transported to the south in turn."
The underground oil and gas resources in the Liaohe River Basin are very considerable. With the mining technology currently mastered by Haihan, the oil fields in this area can already be developed.It's just that because the Liaodong area is too far away, it is extremely difficult to transport large-scale mining equipment from the south. In addition, the situation in Liaodong was not very stable in the past few years, so the plan to exploit the Liaohe Oilfield has been delayed again and again.
But now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, it probably won't threaten the mining areas in the lower reaches of the Liaohe River anymore, and related development plans have once again been put on the agenda.One of the tasks of Beks' inspection of Liaodong this time is to confirm that the northern region has qualified development conditions and can officially start related projects.
Of course, Chen Yixin's plan is far from being as simple as mining oil, but to use this to establish an upstream and downstream industrial chain in Liaodong. In addition to the petrochemical industry, he also hopes to introduce the engine industry.After all, in addition to oil, coal and iron resources are also extremely rich here, and the major resource elements for the development of heavy industry are equally good.Once the energy and power are resolved, the prospects for industrial development in the Northern Region will be bright.
However, such a long-term plan will encounter many difficulties in the implementation process.Relevant technologies are all in the hands of the Executive Committee. So far, no large region has been able to obtain a complete industrial chain technology decentralization. More or less some links will be stuck to ensure that the Executive Committee can control these high-tech industry.Even though the northern region is rich in resources, the executive committee may not completely let go.
What Chen Yixin has to do now is to try his best to persuade the other party to accept his development plan during Beks' inspection trip, to move him with emotion, to understand it with reason, and to show it to him when necessary.
