Chapter 1298 The Old Place
The tide was rising very hard, and it was surging upwards.
Shi Chenyan, the chief of the Navy Governor's Office, sat on a small boat and slowly approached the beach.
A tiny wave flew towards me, instantly wetting the military uniform.
Chen Yan tightly protects the package in his arms.
The air was filled with salty smell, and the rhythmic shouts and paddling sounds came to my ears. The turbid sea water surged freely on the outside of the boat, from time to time, and was slapped at the gang, and was soon broken by the wooden oars.
He didn't know where he was, and how long it would take to get ashore.
He only knows to wait.
The sea is not where he is good at. People are too small and helpless in this environment. So he can only wait until he gets ashore smoothly and wait until the long journey is completely over.
A burst of exclamation came from afar.
Chen Yan glanced around and found a ship sinking on the sea in the distance.
He didn't know what happened, but looking at the location where the ship sank, it seemed that he had deviated from the route of Enpu and accidentally hit the reef.
The sea water poured in from the bottom of the ship, and the ship slowly lost its balance and began to overturn and sink.
Some of the radius floated on the sea surface. The navy soldiers who fell into the water swam quickly and grabbed the radius. The sergeant floating on the sea blew up and down twice, and soon sank to the bottom of the sea and disappeared.
Chen Yan was stunned: It was almost ashore, but you died in a shipwreck caused by the collision.
Another big wave came, and Chen Yan hurriedly turned around and bent down to protect the package in his arms.
"Crash" a crisp sound, and the back was wet with waves.
The hull was bent even lower, and at this moment, the hull suddenly shook the tide on both sides quickly retreated, and the hull ran aground on the beach.
"Official, you can get off the boat." The deputy of the navy team on the boat stood up, held Chen Yan's arm, helped him out, and landed on the muddy beach.
"Hulala" Another tide surged.
Chen Yan felt that his trousers were all wet, his shoes and boots were a little stuck in the mud and sand.
Another navy soldier came over and supported Chen Yan with his team deputy. The three of them walked towards the shore with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The coast was filled with things.
The crowd was incredibly chaotic, and the officers shouted loudly for a long time before they could barely gather a group of people.
The navy soldiers who had completed the rectification first had already held long spears, bows, swords and shields, and held high flags and headed up the mountains on both sides, trying to condescend to control the key points.
Some people carried tools to go to the flat intersection, digging trenches, building low walls, and cutting off passages.
More people stayed on the beach to assist ships on the shore to transport substances and store them in different categories.
Chen Yan came to a big tree, first put the bag aside, then took off his shoes and boots with the help of others, pouring out all the mud and water and sand inside.
"Huh--" He breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, this was an unforgettable experience.
Until now, he couldn't even believe that he had already ascended to the land of Liaodong.
If you look closely, the mountains and forests are covered with green mountains, green as ink, and the grassland is green and flat and rich, almost the same as the Central Plains.
The weather is a little cooler, but to be honest, Henan is already a little hot in early June.
The navy sergeant brought Chen Yan another case. There was still mud and sand at the corner of the case, so it was obviously not easy to transport it to the ashore.
Chen Yan thanked him, wiped his sleeves directly, then took out the pen, ink, paper and ink from the bag, grinding the ink while placing the ink.
"I have heard of the principle of boat control. If the bottom is flat and the side is shallow, the advantage is to quickly climb the beach, and the disadvantage is to carry little soldiers. In the past, the hazy way was, the waves at the bottom of the boat were only a few inches, and it could cross the reefs and iron barriers, like gulls and birds scattering water. When the tide is impermanent, it can still move forward and retreat freely. This is the wonder of creation. However, the content in its belly is limited.
As the chief of the Navy Governor's Office, Chen Yan began to write records based on his personal experience of going out to sea and landing.
After presentation, it is the basis for improving ships and even navigation and landing tactics in the next stage.
In his opinion, Murong Ren is an ally, maybe, it might be, otherwise he would land in this chaos and make people rush into the sea with one charge.
Of course, that was when the enemy was prepared. In fact, forces like Murong Xianbei basically did not pay attention to the sea, and there were no invading enemies at the sea. For them, who were half-grassing and half-cultivated, the enemy always came from Goguryeo in the mountains in the east, and from the Twelve Yuwen tribes on the grasslands in the west, and areas deep into the sea in southeast Liaodong were basically unprepared.
After recording this paragraph, Chen Yanling had just come ashore to report the record. The little history took care of his "Sailing Log" and climbed the hillside along the gentle slope and looked into the distance.
This is actually the old land of Daxian.
This county was established during the reign of Emperor Gaozu of Han, and has a long history than many counties in the Central Plains. It has a large area and a large area. It extends from the Mashi Mountain at its foot to the north. It all belongs to the Daxian area, which is vast and sparsely populated.
During the Cao Wei period, Sima Yi pacified Liao, and the people of Da County floated south to Qingzhou in the second year, and placed Xinda County in resettlement.
Bei County in Liaodong was almost deserted, and it was abolished after entering Jin Dynasty.
In other words, there is no such county now.
To the north of Da County are Beifeng (now Wafangdian) and Pingguo (now Xiongyue), which are similar to Da County. During the Cao Wei period, Sima Yi was either slaughtered or moved, and the people were almost gone, and after entering Jin Dynasty, they were all dismissed.
Murong Ren now uses the ancient city of Pingguo County as his capital and fights against Murong. In other words, his territory is only one Liaodong Peninsula, and people are in a state of fluctuation. Many people want to surrender to the opposite side and abandon Murong Ren.
The situation is indeed quite critical. If you don’t cross the sea to the north at this time and give some support, you can’t say how long Murong Ren can last.
Moreover, the window period for crossing the sea is only these few months.
After September, the waves surged and the sea conditions gradually became worse. By October, strong winds and waves were common.
At that time, not only was the wind direction unfavorable, but the sea conditions were also extremely bad, and it was very dangerous to cross the sea. It was basically impossible to support it from Qingzhou. We had to wait until the second year.
Is Murong Ren's support for getting this time of the second year? It's unlikely.
Therefore, if you miss the precious time of the three or four months of summer and autumn this year, the situation will become unrecognizable. This is Xu Lang.
Yang Bao and the other two made up their minds to cross the sea north before Murong Ren replied to the consent to enthronement.
Anyway, his main force is fighting against Murong in the north, and there is almost no defense in the south. I log in and log in. What can you do?
As Chen Yan predicted, after the landing began at dawn of the sixth day of the lunar month, it lasted until the evening of the seventh day of the lunar month, no one came to interfere.
It’s not that the Xianbei people didn’t know it. In fact, a tribe near the sixth afternoon of the lunar month was reported, but there were not many young people and strong people. There were many elderly, weak women and children in the tribe, so they did not dare to act rashly, and only sent a few people to peek.
After seeing the dense ships inside and outside the bay, as well as the navy landing ashore, logging wood, digging trenches, and placing deer antlers, they were even more afraid to take action and could only report the direction of the Pacification Guo urgently.
Murong Ren received the news at noon on the seventh day of the lunar month, and then he didn't say anything.
Everyone was waiting for his order, that is, to face the landing Liang people? An enemy or a friendly army? I will give you a clear letter as soon as possible.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, Murong Ren took the commander of Dongyi Zhai Kai and Liaodong Prime Minister Pang Jian as his envoy and went south to Ma Shijin.
*******
On the ninth day of the lunar month, there were already Yang Bao and Zhongli Ke on Ma Shijin's side.
More than 14,000 naval and army soldiers were ashore, and the core of the group was the Zuo Feilong Guard's military and its troops. This was relatively capable of fighting, and all the equipment was complete. After two days of rest, they gradually recovered. However, the lack of riding horses made their name difficult to live up to their name.
There are nearly 5,000 Qingzhou Ding Zhuang. They have only received superficial military training and have limited combat effectiveness. However, no one expects them to fight. Qingzhou Ding Zhuang's main job is construction.
The first task is to build a trek deep into the bay to facilitate ship docking and cargo loading and unloading:
The second task is to build temporary warehouses and barracks to hoard resources, equipment and personnel:
The third work is to build a new city based on the semi-collapsed ancient city of Jixian. As the strategic support point of the Daliang Dynasty in Liaodong, it can be seen from this that Yang and Zhongli did not mean to go north, at least not in the short term.
So you see that on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, Ma Shijin and Daxian’s old place were in full swing.
The transport of goods, the construction of camps, the construction of camps, and the deployment of on-site defenses. The navy generals even began to think about how to return, whether to wait for the wind direction to change, or to float back along the sea current, or to catch the changing wind direction after going to the sea.
In short, it is easy to travel north this season, but it is difficult to return.
But it is not enough not to return. What is so many empty ships gathered in Mashijin? Not only is it difficult to park, but it also affects the transfer of subsequent materials and personnel.
"If Murong Renken provides supplies, it would be not that urgent." Zhonglike said, "But he doesn't know if he has food or grass."
"
"There must be grass, all over the mountains and fields. Can you eat it?" Yang Bao laughed and said, "The grain is a bit troublesome. According to Murong Han, when Murong Ren was in Pingguo, there were about 150,000 people in Liaodong. Now a few counties have been lost. I think there are at most 100,000 men, women, and young people. Among the 100,000 people, there are 50,000 people from the Xianbei people, about 30,000 people in the Central Xia people, and a few more people from the Goguryeo, Fuyu, and Duan Xianbei people were mostly slaves who had been plundered over the years."
When Murong was alive in the past, Murong Han and Murong Ren followed their father to fight and made many military achievements, so they were able to be feudal.
Among them, Murong Han Town Xiangping, and Murong Ren Town Pingguo.
After Murong Yuan's death, the sons entered Liucheng to attend the funeral. Murong Han suspected that Murong wanted to harm him and ran out in a hurry.
Murong Zhao and Murong Ren were frightened, so they both fled to Liaodong and raised their troops to fight against each other.
At the end of last year, Murong sent troops to attack Liaodong, won a great victory, and captured Xiangping and other three counties. Murong Zhao died in battle, Zhai Kai and Pang Jian led the remnants to escape south to pacify Guo.
Ping Guo is Murong Ren’s nest.
When Murong Han was in Xiang in normal times, he was good at comforting the people of Hu and Han, and he believed in him from the soldiers in the army to local tyrants.
Murong Ren has always admired this brother, so he followed and stabilized the situation around Pingguo.
At present, the main agricultural and animal husbandry area of the Murong Ren power is around Pingguo City, and it is also the most densely populated area. Military and Tu family members, Han people and powerful tribes all gather here. The total population should be about 50,000. The farming area is roughly in the fish circle area in the later generations, the coastal plains of Gaizhou, and the mountainous areas to the east are mainly tribal grazing.
In fact, he originally had an important population gathering area, namely Xiangping (now Liaoyang), but it has been lost.
In the Wenxian area south of Xiangping and north of Pingguo, it is another area with good agricultural and animal husbandry development, but now it is on the front line and the people cannot produce well. Whether these populations and wealth can be effectively utilized is a big problem. This area is located in Yingkou and Haicheng areas in later generations.
Therefore, Murong Ren's population seems to have a population of 100,000, but in fact it will be greatly reduced. It would be great if he could support himself and maintain the military struggle. In fact, he could not produce much food and livestock support the newly landed Liang Jun.
People have to rely on themselves after all.
