Yuan Xinyong had no big objection to entering the Liaodong region in advance to lurk in. His father died at the hands of the Tartars. The battle with the Tartars just satisfies his desire to avenge. His biggest characteristic is that he can eat and sleep, and he is not afraid of falling down the sky. He fell asleep along the way. After hearing the sound of water, he woke up in a daze.

"It's the patrol warship of the Dengzhou Navy. It's okay, you can keep sleeping."

It was Ma Yi who spoke.

"Yeah, it's okay, keep sleeping."

The old man who was rocking the boat said slowly.

This old man is Sun Xin. He used to do tomb robbers, commonly known as the work of the lieutenant of the gold-touching lieutenant. He was not a formal staff member of the Maoyan Department. He just followed Ma Yi and the others to Liaodong because of the generous money given by Maoyan Department. This is a typical person who wants money but lives. Sun Xin has no children, and even has relatives. He does not prostitute or gamble, and lives like an ascetic. Ma Yi doesn't know what the old guy wants so much money to do.

However, you have to admit that some of his skills are indeed very good in Liaodong. There are rich gold mines in Liaodong, and the Tatars need many people who know how to explore ore veins. The old guy just happens to have some expertise in this area. With this skill, he is not a big problem to get into the Tartars team. At the same time, his loyalty seems to be OK. Since he promised to work hard for Maoyansi, he really worked hard for Maoyansi.

The three of them are all the backbone sent by Zhang Zhun to Liaodong. In the future, the intelligence network in Liaodong will be formed by relying on the three of them. If they succeed, they can all succeed and leave their names in history. Zhang Zhun clearly stated that as long as they defeat the Tartars, they are qualified to be awarded titles. That's right, they are awarded titles. From nothing to becoming a lord. If they fail... some people will remember their names.

"Crazy!"

The sound of water is getting stronger and closer.

A moment later, a large ship appeared on the sea surface on the east side of the sampan. On the top of the ship were the officers and soldiers of the Dengzhou Navy. They held burning torches and illuminated the nearby sea surface. Any passing ship could not escape their observation. The warships of the Dengzhou Navy soon discovered the three of them, and then someone shouted loudly and asked them to lean over.

"Good evening for everyone!"

Instead of avoiding, Sun Xin leaned over with tactfulness, and prepared two taels of broken silver and skillfully delivered it to the other party. As a result, after the other party skillfully accepted two taels of broken silver, he waved impatiently and told them to get out quickly. Both parties almost didn't say anything. Intercepted, paid, and left, so skillful that both parties seemed to have rehearsed.

Originally, someone wanted to get on the boat to check, and according to regulations, each boat had to check. However, the stench emitted by the three people was so disgusting. When the officers and soldiers smelled such a stench, they hurriedly retreated. Therefore, some objects hidden in Ma Yi and the others were able to pass through smoothly. These small objects were not weapons, but were indispensable for their intelligence transmission.

"Two taels of broken silver..."

After the Dengzhou Navy's warship left, Ma Yi shook his head secretly. The Dengzhou Navy actually fell to the point where he could pass it with two taels of silver, which is really touching. Yuan Xinyong was transferred from Qingzhou Prefecture, which was even more eye-opening. However, he realized that the Ming Dynasty had such a trend, so he felt relieved. Even Yuan Chonghuan dared to sell food to the Tartars secretly, so who would dare to do anything?

The sampan continued to float slowly to the north, and occasionally, they would encounter several ships from north to south. The ships were loaded with much more people than their sampans. They were mainly Han people who escaped from the Liaodong area. Of course, they would also be stopped by the Dengzhou navy. However, they had to pay more tolls. Generally speaking, some broken silver could be handled from Shandong to Liaodong. However, if they had to escape from Liaodong to Shandong, it would be the silver of large ingots.

All the land in Liaodong has been controlled by the Tartars. Of course, there is no perfect dock for ships heading to dock for you. Unless you are willing to hit the Tartars' arms, you will try your best to find a coast without personnel to temporarily stop. When Sun Xin was young, he had traveled to Liaodong and Shandong many times, and was very familiar with sea routes.

"See land!"

Taking advantage of the bright sky, Ma Yi said softly.

Before dawn, Ma Yi and the others got ashore. The place where they got ashore was called Jinzhou Zhongzuo, which was under the jurisdiction of Jinzhou Guards. As for where Jinzhou Zhongzuo is, I don’t know. This place was originally the thumb of Liaodong, but unfortunately, this land has been occupied by the Tartars. Looking around, it was lifeless and there was no people.

In fact, most of the Han army flags stationed in Zhongzuo, Jinzhou at this time were Han people, namely Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi. Only a small number of Tartars were stationed in the acropolis of Jinzhou Guards, responsible for monitoring these Han army flag soldiers. If there was no particularly big deal, the Tartars would not have appeared in Zhongzuo Suo of Jinzhou.

In the fifth year of Tiancong of the Later Jin Dynasty (the fourth year of Chongzhen, 1631 AD), the slave chief Huang Taiji balanced the military power of Zhu Beile, and used the Han people to be skilled in firearms and sent out the Han people to set up another army, which was named "Wuzhen Chaoha" ("Wuzhen", which means "chong" in Chinese. "Chaoha", which means "bing" or "jun" in Chinese). Tong Yangxing was the Zhangjing of Angbang (General Manager).

The original Han army flag had only two or three thousand people, and it had no effect at all. Usually, it was to suppress other Han people and acted as minions of the Tartars and would not appear on the battlefield at all. Until later, after Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming, and Shang Kexi surrendered to the Tartars, the power of the Han army flag was greatly enhanced. By the eighth year of Chongzhen, the number had exceeded 15,000.

In the eighth year of Chongzhen, the Han army flag was still only one, and it was not taken seriously by Huang Taiji. He only regarded the Han army flag as a need to rule the Han people, and did not expect the military purpose of the Han army flag. However, the Han army flag had a very special organization, namely artillery. This led to the gradual increase in the status of the Han army flag in later battles and eventually evolved into the Eight Banners of the Han army.

"No one..."

Yuan Xinyong looked around and said to himself.

Maybe the place where they got ashore was very remote, and Ma Yi and the others met no one. There were no Tartars, no Han people, no speeding Tartar cavalry, and no Han refugees who were taking their families. When they set foot on the land of Liaodong, they only had one feeling, that is Xiaosha. Well, it was Xiaosha, a dead Xiaosha. Here, they could not feel any vitality at all. No one, no house, no crop, nothing.

The most they saw were tall weeds. Some of them even grew taller than people's heads. Large fertile fields were all occupied by various wild grasses. It is April and early summer, and all the weeds are growing desperately. When the three of them came ashore, even if there were Tartars not far away, they might not be able to see them. There was nothing else, the weeds were too long.

After the Tartars occupied the Jinzhou Guards, in order to avoid the landing of the Ming army, the Tartars prohibited people from living within 30 miles of the coast, and all populations had to be moved to the mainland. At the same time, Huang Taiji also issued an order that the entire Jinzhou Guards, Fuzhou Guards, Gaizhou Guards, and Dingliao Youwei were not allowed to produce. In other words, all the jurisdictions of Dalian City today are not allowed to live or farm. If there is a violation, they will be immediately beheaded and there is no need to ask at all.

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

"Take care of yourself."

After they got ashore, the three of them said goodbye to each other.

This time they went deep into Liaodong, and they were in dispersed. The next time they contacted each other was three months later. No one knew what difficulties they would encounter at the beginning. Perhaps, there would be someone among them who would not be able to go back to Shandong from now on. Or, the three of them would not go back to Shandong from now on. However, they did not regret it. They would never regret the battle with the Tartars.

...

When Ma Yi and the others set foot on the land of Liaodong, Zhang Zhun was also busy.

The gifts sent by Zhang Shenyan deeply stimulated Zhang Zhun. He knew the cruelty of the Tartars, but now he was even more angry when he saw these specific examples. After he was angry, he slowly calmed down. It was not enough for him to infuriate himself. He wanted all the Tiger Army soldiers to get angry. He wanted all the Tiger Army soldiers, as long as they saw the Tartars, would pounce on them like crazy wild wolves and bit them to death.

"Little girl, help me write a booklet!"

After a brief thought, Zhang Zhun made a decision. He asked Xue Ningying and Liu Rushi to work together to formulate some simple and easy-to-understand booklets for some of the notes sent by Zhang Shenyan, and asked Mo Yu to depict them as many pictures and disperse them to the hands of the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army.

In Zhang Shenyan's note, there are many sad descriptions, about how the Han people were rampant by the Tartars. A note once described a young woman who was caught by the Tartars and her limbs were nailed to a wooden board, and blood was flowing. The Tartars had to take turns to rape her until she died. This note made the copywriters and those who painted pictures feel inexplicably sad.

There are countless such misery. When a booklet is depicted, even the most stalwart people will burst into tears and be filled with hatred for the Tartars. The name of this booklet is called "Tartars, we will never die!". After the compilation, Zhang Zhun ordered the copying of 100 copies, and each army will issue at least five copies. While studying ideological and political science at night, explain the content of this booklet.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

Sure enough, the officers and soldiers of each battalion were all angry and angry when they listened to the stories of their leaders, or cultural teachers. Especially those Han people who escaped from Liaodong, who lived in Liaodong, or whose family members had ancestors fighting the Tartars, they felt deeply. A considerable number of the soldiers of the Tiger Army had direct or indirect hatred with the Tartars. All of these people were invited by Zhang Zhun to come to the stage and talk about their own experiences.

Xie Zhiyou and Huang Shijun are two of them. On the rostrum, the misery and anger buried in their hearts were completely vented. Xie Zhiyou fought in Liaodong for many years, and he witnessed many Tartar crimes, and he witnessed many Tartars' deaths at the hands of Tartars. Once the conversation was opened, he could no longer hold back.

Huang Shijun served in the Tianjin Navy and witnessed countless evil deeds of the Tartars. Back then, the Tartars attacked Juehua Island, and the soldiers and ships of the Tianjin Navy suffered almost all losses. All of these were blood and tears! The Tianjin Navy was cowardly and incompetent, unable to kill the Tartars to avenge them. Now, the Tiger Army is finally going to attack the Tartars. How could he not be so excited that he burst into tears?

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

The soldiers below were moved by the story of the two and kept shouting slogans of killing the Tartars. Then, more soldiers went up to tell the Tartars' crimes and the sufferings caused to them. Some refugees who had just run out of Liaodong also came to the stage to tell their pain and the Tartars' crimes.

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

"Kill the Tartars!"

After the complaint meeting, the hatred of the Hu Ben Army against the Tartars reached an unprecedented level. Zhang Zhun believed that if the Tartars appeared in Laizhou Prefecture and appeared in front of the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army, even if there were no Hu Ben guns or bayonets, the soldiers would go up to fight the Tartars with bare hands. What Zhang Zhun wanted was this aura. Now, this aura had come out.

Later, veterans who had experienced fighting with the Tartars were selected to tell the cruelty of the Tartars and the skills of the Tartars. While encouraging the morale of the warriors, Zhang Zhun also wanted all the soldiers to correctly understand the combat effectiveness of the Tartars. The battle on Tian Hengdao showed that the combat effectiveness of the Tartars was relatively strong and must be taken seriously.

The Ming army in Shandong is obviously not an opponent of the Hu Ben Army. No matter how the Hu Ben Army fights, the Ming army now has no ability to counterattack. Unless the Guanning Iron Cavalry or the Qin Army and other elites are transferred here, it is obviously not too difficult. The Guanning Iron Cavalry wants to deal with the Tartars, and the Qin Army wants to deal with the Shaanxi chaos. The court's fear of Zhang Zhun is not yet as good as Huang Taiji, Gao Yingxiang and others.

But the Tartars are different. The Tartars' combat power is still relatively strong. The Tartars' Eight Banners are currently on an upward trend, with high morale and proficient combat skills. Ordinary Tartars are really completely fearless. Even if they suffer major casualties, they will still rush forward without hesitation. If they look down on the Tartars, they will suffer losses. Strategically despise the Tartars and tactical attention to the Tartars is the kingly way.
