Chapter 511 God, the Hu Ben Army actually fought to Changsheng Island!

Liaodong, Bohai Bay, Changsheng Island.

Changsheng Island is an important island in the northeast of the Bohai Bay. It is only a small section of water from the land to the east, and even the most simple sampan can float over. Therefore, Changsheng Island is generally considered to be an extension of Fuzhou Guards, and the Tartars on the land can directly control it. Conversely, controlling Changsheng Island can also seriously threaten Fuzhou Guards. Therefore, the strategic position of Changsheng Island is very important. Both the Ming army before and the Tartars later have heavy troops stationed here.

Fuzhou Bay, located to the north of Changxing Island, is a harbor that can be barely passed. Fuzhou Bay was once very lively. When the Tatars had not yet occupied the Fuzhou Guard, it was an important logistics base for the Ming army. A large number of materials and personnel from the mainland were disembarked on Changsheng Island and then entered Liaodong. A large number of material warehouses were also built on Changsheng Island. In Fuzhou Bay, there was also a special dock for the Ming Navy.

At the beginning, relying on the favorable strategic position of Changsheng Island, the Ming army fought in Fuzhou Guards for a relatively long time. Especially when Mao Wenlong was in charge of Dongjiang Town, Changsheng Island once caused a headache for the Tatars. Later, Mao Wenlong was killed, and Yuan Chonghuan took the initiative to retreat to Changsheng Island for some reason, and threw it to the Tatars.

After the Tartars occupied the Fuzhou Guards, the Ming Navy withdrew and Fuzhou Bay suddenly became extremely deserted. After the Tartars completely expelled the Ming army defenders on Changsheng Island, they temporarily gave up here. The Ming army did not counterattack in time. In the past five or six years, Changsheng Island was a deserted island. However, after July of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Fuzhou Bay gradually became lively, with many ships coming and going. The Changsheng Island gradually became lively, and the number of Tartars stationed for a long time continued to increase.

In the port that has not been repaired, a large number of warships and dozens of tall masts docked, like spikes piercing into the gray sky. If an insider appears here, he will find that the warships are marked by the Dengzhou Navy on them. Yes, this is the new base of the Dengzhou Navy.

As the commander of the Dengzhou Navy, Guo Lin has been in a very bad mood recently. When did his bad mood start? Of course, it was from when he heard the Tartars defeated in Huangxian. When he heard the term Hu Ben Army, Guo Lin seemed a little restless. The scenes of his encounter with the Hu Ben Army Navy that day appeared again in front of him.

After the Dengzhou Navy surrendered to the Tartars, it was forced to be transferred to Fuzhou Bay to station. On the one hand, it was to strengthen the control of the Dengzhou Navy, prevent people from causing trouble or even launching rebellions. On the other hand, it was also to better prevent the Dengzhou Navy from being attacked by the sudden attack. After all, the Dengzhou Navy was severely condemned by the Ming Dynasty after the rebellion. The court also ordered the Tianjin Navy to capture all the traitors of the Dengzhou Navy back.

Although the Tianjin Navy was also very weak, it is unknown who would win the battle with the Dengzhou Navy. However, for safety reasons, the Tatars decided to transfer the Dengzhou Navy to their own direct protection. Next to Fuzhou Bay is the Fuzhou Guard, which is stationed with a large number of Tatars. At the same time, after the Dengzhou Navy entered Fuzhou Bay, the Tatars also arranged garrisons on Changsheng Island.

In order to strengthen the surveillance of the Dengzhou Navy and prevent foreign forces from harming the Dengzhou Navy, the Tatars deployed 500 people on Changsheng Island in the south of Fuzhou Bay. The command yamen of the Dengzhou Navy was also set up on Changsheng Island and was directly under the surveillance of the Tatars. All actions of the Dengzhou Navy must be approved by the garrisoned Tatars. In other words, no matter what Guo Lin wanted to do, he had to tell the Tatars and obtain the permission of the Tatars, otherwise he might be arrested and executed.

In the morning, Guo Lin came out and prepared to communicate with the leaders of the Tartars, asking them to send more tea to Changsheng Island. For sailors who sailed on the sea all year round, fresh vegetables were very luxurious food and rarely eaten. In order to prevent scurvy, tea must be drunk every day. However, tea, which was not a problem in the Ming Dynasty, was very problematic in the Great Jin Dynasty. The Great Jin Dynasty lacked fresh vegetables and at the same time, it lacked enough tea, even the worst quality tea.

The main tea-producing areas of the Ming Dynasty were in Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangxi and other Jiangnan areas. The plundering of the Tatars obviously could not endanger this place. Therefore, the tea that the Tatars plundered was limited every time. The Tatars themselves also needed to consume a large amount of tea. Therefore, they did not have much tea to supply to the Dengzhou Navy. They could only maintain the most basic needs of the Dengzhou Navy officers and soldiers.

The Tartar leader stationed in Changsheng Island is named Ao Shan, and belongs to Zhenglan Banner and his position is Jiala Zhangjing. Ao Shan has a small official position and a big temper. He always despises the Han people very much. The owner of Zhenglan Banner is the eldest son of Huang Taiji, who has been popular recently. No wonder Ao Shan is above the top and is arrogant. Every time Guo Lin goes to look for this Ao Shan, Ao Shan stares at him like a bear, as if he wants to swallow Guo Lin on the spot. If there is no way, Guo Lin is unwilling to find this Ao Shan at all.

There were no perfect houses on Changsheng Island. The original Ming army warehouses were set on fire by the Tatars. After the Dengzhou Navy moved here, they could only camp in the open air. Fortunately, the climate at that time was generally low, so there was no major problem. The Tatars did not need to camp, so they were stationed in cowhide tents. The largest tent was Ao Shan's residence.

"Bang!"

When Guo Lin felt a headache when he thought of dealing with Ao Shan, who was like a bear, he couldn't help but slow down. He walked slowly to about forty-five feet away from Ao Shan's tent, and suddenly heard a gunshot.

Guo Lin instinctively realized that it should be a gunshot, but rationally told himself that it was impossible. At the same time, because the gunshots came very suddenly, Guo Lin could not determine where the gunshots came from. The Tartars on Changsheng Island were all bows, arrows, swords and guns, and there were no muskets at all. Where did the gunshots come from? All the muskets of the Dengzhou Navy had long been concentrated by the Tartars and stored in the warehouse. Without the approval of the Tartars, the Dengzhou Navy could not find any decent weapons at all. Could it be that someone was playing with muskets?

"Bang!"

Before Guo Lin could figure out what was going on, he heard a gunshot coming.

This time, Guo Lin heard the exact direction of the gunshots, and he hurriedly looked over there.

"enemy!"

It didn't matter when it was seen, and Guo Lin's legs almost trembled.

It turned out that in front of him, about thirty or forty feet away, there was a patrol of Tartars. Amid the gunshots, one of them fell to the ground with blood splashing. Others were in a mess, and some people shot arrows around them. Judging from the white smoke coming out after the fire of the musket, the projectiles should have been shot from the back of the grass, but there were no figures behind the grass.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a few more gunshots came.

In an instant, several more Tartars fell to the ground one after another.

"There are enemies attacking Changsheng Island!

Guo Lin's first reaction was that a strong enemy came to Changsheng Island.

However, he could not see the details of the enemy at all. He could only see the white smoke floating after the muskets were fired behind the grass. However, due to the obstruction of the grass, Guo Lin could not see who the enemy was and how many people there were. Because Changsheng Island had not lived in it for too long, many of the weeds in the grass were taller than the heads, and hiding a few enemies was no problem at all.

Not only did Guo Lin not see clearly, but even the attacked Tartar patrol team could not see clearly. After the attack, the Tartars blindly shot arrows into the grass, but unfortunately found that their arrows had fallen from mid-air before they could hit the dense grass.

"Who?"

"Who dares to go to Changsheng Island to play wild?"

The Tartars reacted quite quickly. With a loud shout, Ao Shan appeared.

Ao Shan is a very tall Tartar. He was carrying two battle axes in his hand and a heavy longbow behind him. He looked like a big bear covered in thorns. In fact, Ao Shan was not only good at archery, but also good at hand-to-hand combat. More than a dozen Ming soldiers could not get close to him at all. However, Guo Lin secretly slandered him behind his back that Ao Shan's intelligence was only about a ten-year-old child at most.

"Guo Lin!"

"Is it yours?"

When Ao Shan saw Guo Lin, he asked with murderous aura. The axe in his hand was trembling, and the axe emitted a terrifying cold light. The feeling he gave people was Guo Lin's answer. He was a little hesitant and would be detrimental to Guo Lin immediately. Dorgon valued these rebels more, but Ao Shan was at another extreme. Ao Shan never looked down on those who betrayed his master.

"no!"

Guo Lin was slightly stunned and immediately answered instinctively.

He felt Ao Shan's murderous aura, and of course he did not dare to neglect the slightest to avoid causing trouble.

"Just not yours!"

"Otherwise, I'll tell them to die before you!"

Ao Shan shouted viciously.

There is a word Shan in his name, which is entirely due to the transliteration relationship, and has no connection with the word Shan itself. On the contrary, all the rebels knew that there was a very cruel Tartar leader on Changsheng Island, who looked like a big bear. It is said that this Tartar leader killed a large number of Han people when he invaded twice. Every time the Tartars massacred the city, they had this Ao Shan share.

"Not mine!"

"Absolutely not my person!"

At such an important moment, Guo Lin must of course be cleared away.

Guo Lin was still very taboo about Tartar leaders like Ao Shan. In fact, Guo Lin already regretted it in his heart. If he had known that after surrendering to the Tartars, he would have dealt with a big bear leader, Guo Lin would have seriously considered whether to surrender to the Tartars. Unfortunately, he had been resentful for a hundred years after his mistakes. If Guo Lin wanted to turn back now, the stain on his body could no longer be cleared.

"The enemy is here!"

"Catch them!"

Ao Shan glared at Guo Lin fiercely, and then shouted loudly.

With Ao Shan's shouting, a large number of Tartar soldiers emerged from the tent.

These Tartars stationed at Changsheng Island belong to the sequence of Zhenglan Banner and were from Haoge. Most of the Tartars belong to the sequence of Zhengbai Banner and Fangbai Banner. They belong to the Zhenglan Banner and the Inlaid White Banner. The main purpose of their arrival in Changsheng Island was tacitly understood by the people inside the Tartars. Therefore, these Tartars are all elites of Zhenglan Banner, with only two Niulu Zhangjing, but more than thirty white armored soldiers. It can be seen that these two Niulu have been specially strengthened.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Suddenly, several consecutive gunshots came.

Several of the Tartars that had just emerged fell down. The projectiles flying from the grass hit their bodies accurately and knocked them over to the ground. Some Tartars had already gone to hell before they could figure out what was going on. The remaining Tartars quickly dispersed and closely monitored the grass in the distance.

Guo Lin hid behind and looked around quietly, and found that the enemy who shot was still hiding behind the grass. Because the weeds were too tall and too dense, he could only see the white smoke coming out after the fire of the musket, but he was unable to prepare to see what the enemy looked like.

"quack!"

Ao Shan was so angry that he grinned his teeth. He waved the knife in his hand and roared fiercely.

Someone actually broke into the top of Changsheng Island and shot at them. This was really rampant. In recent years, in Liaodong, no Ming army dared to provoke the Tartars, and the Tartars have always taken the initiative to trouble the Ming army. He must teach these rampant Ming army a lesson. Ao Shan, who is simple-minded, will treat the enemy he will attack as the Ming army in Jinzhou, Liaodong.

Based on the white smoke produced by the fire of the musket, the Tartars archers determined the enemy's position and surrounded them one after another. The Tartars were very experienced in dealing with these sporadic Ming troops. They slowly touched them from different angles, as if they were approaching their prey. Once the prey entered the range of the Tartars' bow and arrows, the Tartars would shoot thousands of arrows at the same time, completely ending the prey.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

However, the prey in the grass was obviously very dangerous. Only a sudden gunshot was heard, and another Tartar archer fell to the ground. Then, a few more Tartars fell to the ground, and thrust their legs in pain, and there was no sound. Around them, weapons such as bows and arrows, scimitars were scattered all over the ground.

This time, Guo Lin finally saw the people attacking the Tartars.

Gray military uniform...

"It's the Hu Ben Army!"

Guo Lin was shocked and couldn't help but scream.

God, the Hu Ben Army actually fought to Changsheng Island!

Guo Lin was so familiar with this strange gray military uniform. When he was lured by Ruan Dacheng to the south, he was defeated by someone wearing this gray military uniform and almost couldn't come back. Therefore, even if he turned into ashes, he recognized this military uniform.

"Tiger Army?"

"You said they are the Hu Ben Army?"

Ao Shan's eyes lit up suddenly.

After the news of Dorgon and Duoduo being defeated in Huangxian came, the Tatars were definitely familiar with the three words "Hu Ben Army". Among all kinds of rumors, the three words "Hu Ben Army" seemed to have some magic power that could attract everyone. However, there were not many people who had actually seen the Hu Ben Army. Ao Shan himself had never seen the Hu Ben Army with his own eyes.

"They are indeed the Hu Ben Army!"

Guo Lin said obscenely.

Guo Lin could not speculate why the Hu Ben Army appeared on Changsheng Island. However, he keenly realized that the arrival of the Hu Ben Army was not a good thing for him. Fortunately, what the Hu Ben Army wanted to attack was the Tartars on Changsheng Island, not the warships in Fuzhou Bay. Otherwise, he would be in danger.

He knew a little about the plan to throw a stone to ask for directions by Luo Kai and others, but it was not involved in it. Because Ao Shan's control of him was very strict, and Guo Lin did not want to cause trouble. This time, the Hu Ben Army suddenly arrived, and Guo Lin didn't know whether Luo Kai and others had contacted the Hu Ben Army. If they had not contacted him, the Hu Ben Army would come to the door. They were too dangerous. The Chinese people have always hated traitors, and once they were caught, they would never give up.

Ao Shan didn't feel any danger at all. On the contrary, he actually felt excited. He was very glad that he had contacted the Hu Ben Army. At this critical moment, if he could destroy a group of Hu Ben Army, it would inevitably attract high attention from the superiors. The banner leader Haoge is Huang Taiji's eldest son, and he is deeply favored by Huang Taiji. As long as Haoge takes a fancy to him, his future glory and wealth will be no problem.

Is the Hu Ben Army very powerful? Not necessarily! Ao Shan believes that the reason for the defeat in Huang County was that the Hu Ben Army used conspiracies or problems occurred within the Tartars. The idiots of the Zhengbai Banner and the Inlaid White Banner were actually defeated by the Hu Ben Army. Ao Shan deeply despised them. Now, he wants to use the warriors of the Zhenglan Banner to tell the Hu Ben Army who is the real king!

“Go up!”

"Catch them!"
