Ming Zuo

Chapter 942
The little open-pit oil obtained enriched Xia Jun's arsenal.

Under Zuo Menggeng's guidance, Xia Jun obtained various oils through local refining methods.

Some were stuffed into rockets, which played a vital role in the Battle of Tsushima.Some were made into Molotov cocktails by soldiers of the Xia Army, and this time they were able to resist the attack of the Qing Army very well.

The method of setting off smoke didn't work, Hauge had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

"Arrange the elite to attack the mountain overnight. I don't believe it, the Xia army's guns can shoot so accurately at night?"

Hauge prepares for the night battle.

But at night, seeing the situation on Jinjing Mountain, he had no choice but to cancel the order.

Xia Jun lit pile after pile of bonfires on the mountainside, illuminating the entire hillside as if it were daytime.

Under such circumstances, if you go to attack again, it will only be the Qing army that will encounter difficulties.

Jinju, Liu Lin's home.

"Master Liu, it's not too late, we have to go. Otherwise, once the court hears the news, I'm afraid there will be bad luck for you."

Guo Ting's Korean language is very pure, and it is completely hard to tell that it is a fake.

He led people to lurk in Jinzhou, and then handed a letter to Liu Zhifang, Liu Lin's eldest son.

The content of the letter is that Liu Lin asked his sons to lead the whole family and leave Jinzhou quickly with the supporters.

Of course the letter was forged, but the handwriting was exactly the same as Liu Lin's.

Shen Qiyuan and Liu Lin have a very close relationship and often exchange letters, so it is very easy to obtain his handwriting.

There are many forgers in the Ministry of Intelligence, so they made such a fake letter, even with a seal.

Liu Zhifang can also be regarded as a source of family education, and she recognized her father's handwriting at a glance.

"Where is Jia Yan now?"

Guo Ting won't even blink his eyes when he tells a lie.

"My father is planning to bring out more soldiers and horses. It's a big matter, so I can't come back in person."

Holding the letter, Liu Zhifang couldn't make a decision for a while, and couldn't help but look at her younger brother Liu Zhifa.

"Madam, do you have instructions?"

It was obvious that Liu Zhifa was very nervous and his face was pale.

"The two ladies mean to leave immediately, otherwise our Liu family may be in great trouble."

Liu Lin has two wives, one is Xian'an Yin, the other is Andong Jin, both of them are descendants of famous families.

Because of this, Liu Zhifang, born to the Yin family, and Liu Zhifa, born to the Jin family, firmly held the right to speak in the family among his several sons.

Now Yin Shi, Jin Shi and Liu Zhifa all tend to run away quickly, although Liu Zhifang hesitated, but no longer insisted.

"Come on, hurry up and prepare your bags."

"Young Master Liu, the matter is of great importance. In order to avoid people's eyes and ears, you must not make a big show of it."

Guo Ting quickly dissuaded him.

Only then did Liu Zhifang react.

This is to escape, not to play.

"Okay then, quickly invite the two ladies, and we will set off immediately."

Before the words were finished, the servants of the mansion rushed in suddenly.

"Master, hurry up, the barbarians are here, and they are arresting people everywhere."

Liu Zhifang and Liu Zhifa's expressions immediately changed, and as Guo Ting came to the gate of the mansion, they saw that the entire city of Jinzhou was in chaos.

Countless people are swarming eastward, shouting and howling straight into the sky.

Guo Ting was furious.

"Go, go, go, if you don't go, you won't be able to go away."

Liu Zhifang and Liu Zhifa didn't care about the decency of the scholars at this time, they rushed back to the backyard, asked the servants to carry the two wives on their backs, followed Guo Ting, and rushed out of the south gate of Jinzhou under the cover of the chaotic flow of people .

Half an hour later, the Qing Dynasty coalition forces led by Tulai, Nikan and Li Shifang arrived at the city of Jinzhou.

Seeing that the city gate opened but no one greeted them, the faces of the three were all very ugly.

Shi Tingzhu finally arrived.

"The future is late, please punish Prince Su."

Seeing that Shi Tingzhu was covered in mud and panting like a cow, Hauge originally wanted to whip him, but then he thought of something and held back.

"Why are you still standing there? Set up the cannon immediately. If you dare to delay, your head will be cut off."

Seeing that he was not punished, Shi Tingzhu was very surprised.At the same time, my heart was relieved, and I hurried to make arrangements.

He also searched for people to inquire, and finally realized that the reason why he was safe and sound this time was all thanks to Fan Ji.

"Mr. Fan, Mr. Shi will never forget the kindness of maintenance. Please accept some kindness."

After finishing his work, Shi Tingzhu found Fan Ji and gave him ten taels of gold without saying a word.

Although he is Gu Shan Ezhen, and Fan Ji has no official position, who can say that Fan Ji is Haoge's most trusted servant?

The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister's gate, Fan Ji has great energy.

There's absolutely no harm in befriending him.

Facing Shi Tingzhu's thank you gift, Fan Ji accepted it with peace of mind.

"If we Han people want to gain a foothold here, we must not only be loyal, but also support and help each other. General Shi is someone I admire, and we will keep in contact with each other in the future."

He didn't say that Shi Tingzhu also had the same heart, and he quickly bowed his hands and said yes, which can be regarded as the establishment of a relationship.

The Qing army finally had the support of artillery, and the intensity of the attack was greatly improved.

Seeing that several fortifications were destroyed by shells, how could Bai Xiaoqi bear it?
"Where's our artillery? Give me their artillery."

Xia Jun's heavy artillery began to fight back.

The range is longer in the condescending situation, and the artillery positions of the Qing army were quickly covered.

However, before the smoke cleared, the artillery of the Qing army roared again.

This situation surprised Bai Xiaoqi, and quickly picked up the binoculars to observe.

It's a pity that under the billowing smoke and dust, it is not very clear to see.

"Even if the Qing army's artillery is made of nine-day black iron, isn't their artillery also invulnerable?"

Jia Yunzhi is right here with him.

"Although we don't know the situation yet, if the estimates are correct, the Qing army should have built bunkers."

Bai Xiaoqi thought for a while, and this was the only result, so he couldn't help but slap the wood.

"These bastards are progressing too fast."

Fortunately, Xia Jun's artillery is not vegetarian, and the artillery is also very powerful.Even though the Qing army built solid fortifications, they still suffered a lot of losses, which greatly affected the efficiency of firing.

For a while, the situation on the battlefield remained balanced.

On Busan's side, the negotiating delegation from Japan finally ushered in.

Seeing the emblems and flags of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the Satsuma Domain appear, Zuo Hua's face was full of smiles.

He has already begun to conceive how the lion will open its mouth.

However, halfway through the laugh, his face turned livid.

I saw the "Zheng" flag fluttering in the wind in the oncoming fleet, which was particularly dazzling.

"Okay! Okay! As expected of Mrs. Zheng. Let's... this is the beginning!"

"Hahaha, I haven't seen General Zuo for a long time, but he still looks the same!"

On Zheng's boat, there is an acquaintance of Zuo Hua, that is Shi Daxuan.

While exchanging greetings, they kept looking at the ships of the Xia Kingdom Navy.

Compared with before, Shi Daxuan's eyes are a little more vigilant.

"My lord, Chen Zhong, was ordered by an official to reconcile the matter between your side and Dongying. The wind and waves are rough on the sea, and the big guys still have to make money with harmony."

This Chen Zhong is unknown and has never been heard of.But looking at his Confucian shirt, it is obvious that it should be Zheng Zhilong's praise painting.

"Everyone, please, let's have a good talk."

A murderous intent surged in Zuo Hua's heart, he barely suppressed his thoughts, and had diverted from the upcoming negotiation.
