The defense of the Lion's mouth is weaker than Zhu Qi imagined.

Not to mention the road, the road was calm and without any turmoil.

Even the ships going into the sea did not meet several ships. Only after they approached the Lion's mouth did they see some fishermen working on the sea.

When these fishermen saw the Ming ship, they immediately rowed back like crazy.

But how could these simple small boats be as fast as those of sea boats that advance at full speed and ride the wind and waves?

However, the Ming army naturally had no idea about these fishermen. The Ming Dynasty came to rob the beach and landed, not robbed them, so they didn't care what these fishermen did.

The fleet soon surpassed these fishing boats at sea and then came to the harbor of Lion's mouth.

Zhu Qi had never heard of Lion's mouth before, and thought it was a very small port.

But when the fleet came outside the port, it found that this was a natural harbor. In addition to an open sea outlet, there was also a harbor with deep water.

It can not only moor large ships, but also withstand strong winds and waves. It is also quite large in scale. This port is also very close to the Shandong Peninsula.

With just a little development, materials from the Central Plains can be directly transported to Liaodong by sea.

Whether it is war supplies or commodity trade, it is an excellent port!

However, such a good port has obviously not been developed on a large scale.

It can be seen that Shizikou is only the size of a small county town.

In Zhu Qi's opinion, such a natural and good harbor must be of the size of a city to be reasonable.

Perhaps because of the small size of the town, there were not many defenders arranged here by the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

At least Zhu Qizhi saw some confused people on the port.

These ordinary people wore thin clothes on March day, and they could tell at a glance that they were porters on the dock.

A few merchant ships were loaded with cargo, and an official dressed man was standing next to the merchant ship, talking to a man in silk clothes.

However, when the two saw the fleet coming from the mercenary, they all widened their eyes.

Then he saw the official running away.

However, Zhu Qi did not care about the escape of these Northern Yuan officials. This time the Ming army's goal was to occupy more cities and then attract Naha to return to defense.

Give up the easy-to-defense and difficult-to-attack Liaoxi Corridor, allowing Lan Yu to break through faster.

As long as you break through the western Liaoning Corridor and occupy the steep pass, the entire Liaodong will be within your reach.

Before the ship landed, Jack Ma came over with his fists and asked:

"The last general is willing to be the vanguard and take this city for His Highness!"

Zhu Qi was thinking about the specific steps to occupy the city. When he saw Jack Ma volunteering, of course he agreed immediately.

At the same time, it was natural that the command of the army was handed over to Jack Ma and asked him to take down the Lion's mouth as soon as possible.

Jack Ma was also stunned. He originally wanted to ask the troops of thousands of people to take down the Lion's mouth, which was a small military achievement.

However, his Highness the King of Liao asked him to command the army openly.

Jack Ma didn't understand it at the beginning, but he turned around and figured it out.

I have been listening to other generals saying that His Highness, the King of Liao, is very good.

As long as you have fought side by side with His Highness the King of Liao, no matter how big your military achievements are, His Highness the King of Liao will help you ask for merit.

As for His Highness the King of Liao himself, he never mentioned his military achievements much.

When I heard about this, I thought it was an exaggeration. Now that the matter is on my own, Jack Ma realized that it is not an exaggeration, it is true.

I was so moved in my heart.

The great kindness did not thank him, and Jack Ma didn't say much, and got off the boat after receiving the military order.

However, Jack Ma did not take away too much troops, because this small county town looked like it was not prepared at all.

At this time, the army was attracted to western Liaoning, and the rear was absolutely empty.

So Jack Ma only led 5,000 troops out of the city to sweep the siege, while the rest of the people first controlled the Lion's mouth.

As the commander-in-chief and the prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qi naturally would not get off the ship and fight in person.

He just waited for good news from Jack Ma on the boat.

Bai Tang Yuer, dressed in a military uniform, leaned against the window of the building boat and looked outside, obviously she was quite curious about war.

Generally, generals go out to fight, so it is naturally impossible for them to bring their wives with them.

But Zhu Qi is different. He is the prince, not to mention that Bai Tang Yuer is very good at kung fu, which is better than most men, especially in light skills.

Of course, it is not a burden to Zhu Qi.

Taking Bai Tang Yu'er is like bringing an extra layer of insurance. If something goes wrong, assassination or something, Bai Tang Yu'er escapes with her, right?

The people in the port were naturally controlled at the first time.

Of course, it is not to do anything to them. I just don’t want them to run around in this chaos. If they accidentally hurt the people, it would be bad.

Except for the common people who were very panicked, no one in the lion's mouth was seen wearing official uniforms.

However, Ming Jun saw the official's clothes on the street.

Obviously, he saw Ming Jun coming, and immediately took off his clothes and ran away.

Some officials were arrested in the indoctrination yamen, but they were all small left-behind officials.

There was no resistance at all, and he immediately surrendered.

After two hours, Jack Ma led his army back, and his biggest official position was just to arrest a chief clerk.

As for the official officials such as county magistrates and magistrates, they didn’t see any of them!

However, a military camp less than two miles outside the city captured two hundred people in one breath.

According to these prisoners.

These two or three hundred Yuan troops were all Han people from Shizikou.

As for the Yuan people, they had already run away.

Even the general, middle-level officer, etc., ran away without a shadow.

They are all locals and their families are at the mouth of the lion, so they didn't think of running away at the first time.

The superiors couldn't contact him, so he only heard that Jun was here and didn't know what was going on.

While hesitating whether to run directly, or when he went back to take his family to run, Jack Ma had already brought his people with him.

If they had known that the Ming army had arrived so quickly, they would have run away early in the morning.

Zhu Qi knew it would not be too difficult to take down the lion's mouth, but he didn't expect it to be so relaxed.

It was so easy that no battle had happened. Just from afar, I saw the ships, from the generals, the magistrates, the deputy generals, and the officials, all ran away cleanly.

Didn’t it mean that after the Beiyuan was knocked out of the grassland, his combat effectiveness had recovered a lot?

Why is it so useless here?

This was really a misunderstanding by Zhu Qi. In fact, many of the Yuan army in Liao were all elite Northern Yuan dynasties who had experienced the wars at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and tempered the elites of the Northern Yuan Dynasty.

But all these elite soldiers were taken to western Liaoning by Naha at this time, and they were fighting with Lan Yu there.

Those who stayed on the Liaodong Peninsula were also recruits, local militias, and leaders, and there were also many troublesome generals who were inexperienced and unable to take on important responsibilities.

A capable general has already gone to western Liaoning.

This is also the reason why Zhu Qi was able to take down the Lion's mouth so smoothly, and he had not even been injured by a soldier.

The battle was unexpectedly smooth, but the result was always good.

Even Jack Ma couldn't help but sigh:

"Thanks to the contribution of His Highness the King of Liao, the thieves were already frightened by the fact that they heard your name.

This time the battle was fruitful and so smooth, we were also smooth sailing along the way, and this place should be a blessing.

Your Highness, the last general thinks, it is better for Your Highness to change this place to Lushun."

Zhu Qi was stunned, Lushun?

I looked at the map and found that this lion's mouth seemed to be the location of Dalian Lushun Port in later generations!

I heard a classmate from Dalian mentioned it before, saying that the name Dalian Lushunkou was given in the early Ming Dynasty. So that's how it came about?

Zhu Qi naturally would not refuse to change the place name and ask for a good omen.

Since Jack Ma has already made it, the other generals have no objection, Zhu Qi nodded and agreed:

"Since that's the case, then the place will be renamed Lushun from now on!"

Zhu Qi said this, but he felt a little embarrassed. He didn't expect that he could also name the place himself.

It is such a famous place in Lushun.

However, occupying Lushun as a subsequent supply port is only the first step.

Next, Zhu Qi aimed at Liaoyang.

As the core city of the Liaodong Peninsula, Liaoyang's location is crucial.

Liaoyang is also the top priority in front-line defense determined at the military planning meeting.
