Hong Chengchou was not worried about this.

According to the information sent back, in order to harass the Qing Dynasty's internal migration, all the troops have been dispatched. The five or six thousand cavalry forces are still in Jinzhou, and there are still thousands of infantry troops.

After fighting for so long, Hong Chengchou was also very careful. He had already calculated that the Ming army's strength was actually only so much. He also estimated that the Dongjiang army's strength had reached its peak. No matter how many, there was definitely not so much food and grass, so there was no more troops.

Of course he never thought that Zhang Mingwei sent five thousand infantry to the Dongjiang Army. In fact, he thought that the Dongjiang Army would be in yin and suffered heavy losses, which was to replenish the Dongjiang Army's strength or even rebuild the Dongjiang Army.

Unexpectedly, the Dongjiang Army escaped without any damage. In this way, the total force broke through the upper limit of food and grass supply. Of course, the imperial court later increased its efforts to drive the Central Committee, allowing more Jiangnan merchants to transport grain to Dongjiang Town.

In the battle to harass Jianlu's retreat, Li Laiheng and others discussed that they would first use the existing forces of the Dongjiang Army to attract the attention of Jianlu. In addition, the navy's troops were also drawn to the ashore to make a move.

Therefore, the popularity of this time naturally forced Jianlu to draw more troops to deal with it.

Hong Chengchou never expected that Li Laiheng and his friends' real goal was actually Zhenjiang Fort where he was. One of the key factors in choosing Zhenjiang Fort was him!

The former imperial rank of the Ming Dynasty, the Ji Liao commander, and such a high-level official surrendered to Jianlu was definitely a great shame! Therefore, Hong Chengchou was the first traitor on the list of Ming traitors issued by the court. If he could kill him or capture him alive, it would be a great achievement!

Zhenjiang Fort was of course also built by the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty's defense system, it is divided into five levels of defense, namely town, road, guard, office, and fort. The nine-sided important towns are usually mentioned as town-level town-level with the largest defense system, with guards at the level of governor and general.

From this system, we can see that the fort is the lowest level of defense system. In Liaodong, a total of 128 forts were built, and Zhenjiang Fort is one of the many forts.

However, one thing is that Zhenjiang Fort is close to the border of the Yalu River, it has both land defense and coastal defense functions. It is relatively larger than other forts.

During the Ming Dynasty, Zhenjiang Fort sent a guerrilla force to garrison with 1,700 troops.

After being captured by Jianlu, they initially sent guerrilla Tong Yangzhen to guard the situation.

As a result, Mao Wenlong learned at that time that the main force of Zhenjiang Fort went to Shuangshan to scoop up the people who refused to surrender to the Later Jin Dynasty, and the city was empty. So he contacted Chen Liangce, the central army of Zhenjiang Fort, as an internal supporter, and led more than 100 people to attack Zhenjiang at night, capturing Tong Yangzhen (also known as Tong Yangzheng, Nurhaci's wife's brother-in-law, Kangxi's grandfather) and his son Tong Fengnian, his nephew Tong Songnian, and others. They sent Chen Zhong and others to attack Shuangshan, captured and killed the guerrilla Miao Yizhen and others in the Later Jin Dynasty, which was known in history as the "Zhenjiang Victory".

After this incident, Jianlu strengthened the troops of Zhenjiang Fort and did not move the troops here easily. On the one hand, it was to protect the hinterland of Liaodong, and on the other hand, it was the base for Jianlu to attack North Korea.

Even if North Korea is destroyed, it still has the important task of protecting the heartland of Liaodong. Therefore, two thousand infantry and two thousand cavalry forces are stationed here.

In addition, Zhenjiang Fort is not alone. Behind it are Tangzhan Fort and Qianshan Fort, each about 60 miles away from Zhenjiang Fort. Once Zhenjiang Fort encounters an attack, the two behind can immediately send cavalry troops, and they can arrive overnight. Even infantry can arrive in one day.

Behind it is Phoenix City, where more troops can be stationed here, and it is also the defense center of the entire eastern Liaodong.

However, at this time, due to the large-scale operation of the Dongjiang Army, in order to ensure the smooth relocation of the internal relocation, Jianlu transferred all the cavalry from the inland forts. Now, there are only two thousand infantry left in Zhenjiang Fort.

Li Laiheng and others did so many things, just to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and this is the result.

August 25, 18th year of Chongzhen, was a sunny day. When the sky in the east had just revealed a hint of whiteness, there were ships on the Yalu River where Zhenjiang Fort was located.

Even if there is no military flag flying on the ship, as long as it is a human, it must be the Ming Navy. Because apart from that, there are not so many ships in other forces.

When Jianlu, who was patrolling the shore, was shocked when he saw it and hurriedly reported to Zhenjiang Fort.

"What, hundreds of Ming Dynasty naval warships appeared on the river?" The Zhenjiang Fort guard was shocked when he heard this, and he was no longer sleepy at all. He immediately asked, "Where are their targets? What are the ships loaded?"

To be honest, he was too surprised. The Ming army that appeared here could only be the Dongjiang army. However, the Dongjiang army's troops were not all in Jinzhou and Fuzhou, why did he suddenly come to Zhenjiang Fort?

"Sir, the villain came back immediately to report when he saw the Ming Dynasty warship. For the specific details, we still need the following news!"

While talking, Hong Chengchou hurried in. It could be seen that he had not even washed up.

Hong Chengchou happened to hear the conversation at the door and immediately said to the Zhenjiang Fort guard: "Sir, it's better not to be late. Send troops to defend the river surface immediately and don't give the Ming army a chance to land."

The guard of Zhenjiang Fort heard this and was obviously hesitant, just frowned and said, "What if the Dongjiang Army didn't come to Zhenjiang Fort, what if the Dongjiang Army just passed by? What if the Dongjiang Army had already landed? I sent troops out and there was no protection from the city wall, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

If he had changed this kind of thing a few years ago, he would never have said it.

But over the past two years, repeated failures have made Jianlu no longer have the kind of psychological advantage against the Ming army. As the guard of Zhenjiang Fort, of course, he is qualified to understand the specific details of the Battle of Ningyuan and the Battle of Jinzhou.

Therefore, the guard of Zhenjiang Fort was subconsciously a little scared.

After saying that, he ignored Hong Chengchou and immediately issued a military order to urgently ask for help from the nearby Tangzhan Fort and Qianshan Fort. Of course, people must be sent to Phoenix City.

When Hong Chengchou saw him like this, he stomped his feet in hatred and said, "The Ming army must have come for Zhenjiang Fortress, do you still need to hesitate? And since they are prepared, how can they not have a way to deal with the city wall of Zhenjiang Fort? The current plan is to not let them land! You... you are delaying the fighter plane and are afraid of the Ming army..."

When he heard what he said, the Zhenjiang Fort's garrison suddenly became very ugly. He stared at Hong Chengchou, approached a few steps, and shouted sternly: "Who do you think is afraid of the Ming army?"

At this time, even if they were scared, they would never say it, let alone admit it.

In desperation, Hong Chengchou said such words, so that the Zhenjiang Fort guards would be jealous of the face?

When Hong Chengchou saw him like this, he suddenly came to his senses. Now he is no longer the Ming Dynasty governor who is in one word, but from the Qing Dynasty...

Speaking of this, he suddenly became blinded.

What is the identity of the Qing Dynasty? Guest or slave? Military advisor or coat?

When it is good, he is the guest of the Qing emperor and is respected by the Qing emperor and the concubines in the harem; but if others do not recognize him, he will be a surrender!

Thinking of this, Hong Chengchou couldn't help but feel a little lost!

After spending most of my life, I am getting back and forth!

The Zhenjiang Fort Guard found that he had shown very obvious anger, but Hong Chengchou turned a blind eye and did not apologize for what he said just now. Do you think that he was cowardly facing the Ming army?

When he thought of this, he became even more angry and shook his hand and slapped him.

With a "bang", Hong Chengchou was beaten so hard that he sat on the ground.

Then, he instinctively covered his face, feeling the pain in his burning pain, as if his teeth were loosened.

When did he, Hong Chengchou, be slapped in the face like this?

The first feeling was that Hong Chengchou was glaring at him and wanted to get angry.

However, when he covered his face and looked up at the person who hit him, he saw that the person in front of him was also looking at him with anger.

Suddenly, Hong Chengchou immediately came to his senses. What is his identity and what is the identity of the person in front of him?

If you really anger these barbarians and kill themselves, the Qing Dynasty Regent was probably just to blame them at most. It would be impossible for them to pay their lives!

The most important thing is that Hong Chengchou realized that the Jianlu in front of him could really kill him.

After thinking about this, he immediately woke up and quickly lowered his head and said, "The villain was in a hurry and said without saying a word. He ran into the adults. Please forgive me!"

As he said this, he sighed in his heart.

The Zhenjiang Fort guard apologized when he saw him and slapped him, which was considered a sting. He was a little more rational. Thinking that this Han person is indeed a special status, even the Regent treats him politely. When Prince He Shuoying was there, he was also polite to him. I heard that even the empress dowager in the palace valued him very much.

Thinking of this, the Zhenjiang Fort guard stopped when he saw the opportunity, but snorted coldly: "Remember your own identity. If I hear you talking nonsense, I will never forgive you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Hong Chengchou replied quickly, as if he was gentle.

When the Zhenjiang Fort guard saw it, he snorted coldly and said, "Get out!"

Now he didn't want to see this Han man again, so as not to rise up again. He dared to say that he was afraid of the Ming army. He was so brave! He didn't know that he was a mature and steady move? When the reinforcements arrived, it would only take one day to kill the Ming army at that time!

After being scolded for "get out", Hong Chengchou was in a bad mood, so he got out of the yamen. Looking at the Qing army soldiers beside him, they all looked at half of his swollen face in surprise. For some reason, he felt that many people were gloating.

Alas! Hong Chengchou couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
