Since Jinzhou was destroyed, Jianlu made the decision to move inward. Jinzhou no longer stationed troops, for fear of being knocked out by the Ming army again.

The most outermost defense node of Jianlu is Haizhou City to the south.

The surrounding areas of Haizhou City are plain grain fields. The heavy troops are stationed here, which is considered a southern barrier. It can also protect the grain fields here. It can replenish food and grass on the spot and reduce the logistics pressure.

In addition, Haizhou City is more than a hundred miles away from the sea. No matter what the Ming army does, it is impossible to catch Jianlu off guard after a surprise attack.

Finally, sixty miles north of Haizhou City is Anshan Yibao. It is built in Anshan Valley, easy to defend but difficult to attack, and is the only way to Liaoyang.

Once the Ming army invaded a large-scale attack in Haizhou, the news could be quickly transmitted to Anshan Yibao. The important town of Liaoyang is only 60 miles away from Anshan Yibao. It means that the distance from Liaoyang to Haizhou is similar to the distance from the Ming army to Haizhou from the seaside to Haizhou.

In this way, there will be no more tragedies like Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and they will be eaten by the superior Ming army if the reinforcements are not enough.

In case, just in case, there were two princes of Jianlu guarding the city of Haizhou alone, namely Prince Heshuoyu Aisinjueluo Duoduo and Prince Heshuoying Aisinjueluo Ajige, with a total force of 30,000. Among them, the cavalry alone had about 15,000.

Under such a layout, the scope of activities of Jianlu and sting horses is in the Haizhou area, and they are all traces to the beach.

The Ming army occupied Lianyun Island not far from the coast of Gaizhou, turning it into a base for activities that are not collected at night. On weekdays, rest on the island without fear of Jianlu's sneak attacks; if you want to carry out a mission, sea boats will be transported to various places along the coast of Liaodong to land.

There is also Juehua Island, which needs to be said to be the base of the Ming army.

After the last battle of Jinzhou, Jianlu retreated completely, and the Ming army occupied the ruins of the Youtun Guard in Guangning, namely Dalinghe Fort, where a cavalry was stationed. On weekdays, if you don’t take it at night, you will set off from here and head west to near Haizhou to spy on the military situation of Jianlu.

In this way, it was a night with the Dongjiang Army on Lianyun Island, one in the west and one in the south, and joined forces to fight against Jianlu and explore the horses.

In the previous scout war situation, basically, the Jianlu and the horses were able to protect the surrounding areas of Haizhou. Few Ming troops did not collect grain fields around Haizhou at night.

Because Jianlu was worried that the Ming army would land and raid from the sea, Jianlu had military orders to explore the horses, and every time there were teams who wanted to explore the coastline to ensure that the main force of the Ming army would not suddenly attack.

As for the west, Jianlu's horse-spouting horses should be at most just to take a look at Daling River Fort. Because it is more than 200 miles away from Haizhou, it is impossible for the Ming army to launch a sneak attack by land.

Jianlu’s overall strategy is to defend Haizhou as the main force. As long as the Ming army is not attacked by the ambush, the goal will be achieved.

Therefore, neither Dorgon nor Fan Wencheng expected that the Ming army had actually used their thoughts to start planning the battle in Liaodong.

And this time the Liaodong Battle is no longer a sporadic blow, but a decisive battle to restore Liaodong.

To this end, since last year, the cavalry stationed on Daling River Fort have reached as many as 5,000, and they are no longer able to wait for Huadao to rest when they expire. It is just that the cavalry stationed on Daling River Fort rotates with each other.

The reason for this is to keep it confidential and prevent him from being captured alive by Jianlu.

The content that needs to be kept confidential is actually very simple, that is, railway.

Inside the pass, from Tongzhou and Tianjin Port as the starting point, the imperial court mobilized the people along the road and built two railways to Shanhaiguan as early as the second half of last year, instead of insisting on giving the railway construction to the Ming Transportation Construction Group.

From Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, the army was used to build a simple railway, which was just used temporarily. The main factor for keeping the confidentiality was the railway outside the pass.

The responsibility of this railway is very important, which is to transport food and supplies to Jinzhou.

The war to restore Liaodong was not something that could be solved by shipping. And using Jinzhou as a place to store grain has another very important purpose.

Just when Dorgon, under the reminder of Fan Wencheng, decided to increase troops to the southern line, Zhang Mingwei had already arrived at Juehua Island and was holding a military meeting.

There are many stars in the lobby.

Zhou Yuji, Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Nengqi, Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou, Yuan Zongdi, Tian Jianxiu, Bai Guangen, Li Fuming, Ma Ke, Yuan Shizhong, etc.

No matter which of these generals were, they all left a great reputation in their original history. Now they gathered together and are under the command of Duke Xingguo.

Zhang Mingwei sat in the main seat, with the Princess Kunxing group on the left, and the Governor Shanyong on the right, and Liu Jin led the Jinyiwei lieutenant to accompany him.

Zhang Mingwei said to them seriously: "In this battle, Your Majesty's goal is to defeat the disabled and restore Liaoyang, Shenyang and other places. Do you have confidence?"

Among the generals present, the thief might be better. When other generals, especially Wu Sangui, Zu Dashou and others, heard this, even though they had known the purpose of the battle before, they still couldn't help but feel ups and downs and were extremely excited.

This is the battle to restore Liaodong!

For a long time, especially Zu Dashou, he witnessed the burning, killing and looting of Jianlu in Liaodong, witnessed the continuous attacks of Jianlu, the retreat of the imperial official army, and even he had no choice but to surrender to Jianlu.

At that time, Jianlu was at its peak. No matter who it was, he never expected that the court would have a battle to restore Liaodong!

Even Jianlu broke through the pass and entered the capital, burned, killed and robbed the capital, and even went to Shandong and other places, and the imperial government army was invincible.

What is even more shameful is that the imperial army could only watch Jianlu transport the looted population and materials out of the pass. At the end, before leaving the pass, a sign was left, which read: So far, there will be no gifts!

How arrogant Jianlu is, and how incompetent the imperial army is, that such a thing will happen!

But who can blame the imperial army? The imperial court cannot even pay military salaries, so that the Ming army soldiers were going to sell their children. Where can such an army get combat power?

The so-called war is actually just a war of generals and a group of servants. They usually call for 50,000 troops, but it is good to be able to fight 5,000 soldiers.

The court has no money and cannot pay enough military pay. Naturally, the generals will have an idea: instead of barely living a group of sheep, it is better to raise a group of wolves to come out.

From a certain perspective, it is actually a forced one for generals to deduct military pay and to feed their private pockets to support their families.

But such an army is fine to fight a broken war. If you encounter the elite Jianlu, there is no reason why you are defeated.

As a veteran in the army, Zu Dashou knew very well about this situation. This was not a situation that two capable ministers could change.

This means that unless the Ming Dynasty could persist until Jianlu was ruined, it would be impossible to defeat Jianlu. Later on, he could not even defend.

In the Battle of Songjin, Jianlu surrounded and attacked reinforcements. The main force of the Ming Dynasty reinforcements was 120,000, and the entire army was wiped out. Even Zu Dashou himself had to surrender to Jianlu again.

At that time, who could have thought that this situation would change? Who could have thought?!

However, a change that could never have been imagined in my dreams still happened! There was one day when there was a battle to restore Liaodong and the situation of reversing the world appeared in front of me. Who could not be excited? Who could?

Thinking of this, Zu Dashou couldn't help but burst into tears!

A man doesn’t cry easily because he has not arrived at the sad place!

How many dead souls are waiting to comfort them on the land of Liaodong!

People, soldiers; elderly, children; men, women; those who know, those who don’t know; many people think that this day will be there! Their spirit in heaven has been watching, looking at it, hoping that this day will be there!

Now, they are finally waiting!

These things flashed through Zu Dashou's mind one by one. Almost at the same time, he and other generals stepped out, clasped their fists towards Duke Xingguo, and yelled in unison and responded: "Yes!"

That’s right, it’s just confidence!

The battle to restore Liaodong was not called out, but was fought.

Since the birth of Duke Xingguo, the war against Jianlu has finally begun to change. One victory after another has already given them strong confidence: they can win Jianlu! They can defeat Jianlu! They can restore Liaodong!

This confidence is accumulated by victories and is even given by Duke Xingguo.

Zu Dashou and others firmly believed that with Duke Xingguo here, they could defeat Jianlu and restore Liaodong!

Such a difficult situation in the 15th year of Chongzhen was reversed by Duke Xingguo. What's the difficulty of restoring Liaodong?

I have to say that Zu Dashou and the others think so, it is indeed correct.

In the 15th year of Chongzhen, if there was no time traveler who knew the future generations, even if there was another person like Zhang Juzheng at this time, it would be impossible for the Ming Dynasty to turn around in a situation where the Ming Dynasty was difficult to return!

Zhang Mingwei's understanding of the figures of various forces in this era and distinguishing loyalty and treacherous is not comparable to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Mingwei's understanding of what happened and what was about to happen was not comparable to Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Mingwei's means of making money and technological innovation are not comparable to Zhang Juzheng.

...

Under such circumstances, only time travelers like Zhang Mingwei who came from later generations could be able to solve the doomsday situation with the strong support of Emperor Chongzhen!

At this moment, looking at the exciting scene in the lobby, Princess Kunxing Zhu Mai also empathized with it and was also very excited.

She looked at Zhang Mingwei's sideways, stared at the handsome side face, mumbling her mouth, her eyes full of tenderness.
