Shengjing City, the Qing Imperial Palace.
"Emperor, bad news, bad news. Weihai Wei has sent their navy across the sea to plunder Liaodong!”
The official in charge of the Manchu intelligence report knelt on the ground with a panicked expression. His bald head had a mouse tail the size of a copper coin hanging from the back of his head. He reported to Huang Jitai on the big chair.
"What is it? Those bastards from Weihai Wei are here again?”
Huang Jitai was so angry that he picked up the inkstone in his hand and smashed it.
"This servant deserves to die, this servant deserves to die!"
The minister in charge of intelligence immediately kowtowed to the ground and shouted.
Huang Jitai did not pay attention to the performance of the minister in charge of intelligence. Ever since the Qing Dynasty was officially established, as his authority grew, almost all the ministers of the Qing Dynasty had developed the habit of kneeling and kowtowing once he was angry.
And this was not only the case for the Han officials, but also for the Manchu and Mongolian officials.
When he heard that the Weihai Wei had sent their navy over, Huang Jitai was so angry that he felt a headache coming on. He pointed at the officials kneeling on the ground and didn't dare to raise their heads."Those bastards from Weihai Wei, are they treating us like fat sheep? Do you come here to loot from time to time?"
"Even when our Qing Dynasty broke through the pass and went south, they didn't come so often!!”
Huang Jitai became even angrier!
For such a talented and bold person, the Qing Dynasty that he led would at least break through the pass once every two to three years and plunder the northern towns of the Ming Dynasty.
But what about those bastards from Weihai Wei?
They came every two to three days. What did they take the Qing Dynasty for? Even if they were harvesting food, they wouldn't be so diligent, right?!
This was too much of a bully!
What made him even angrier was that this group of Weihai Wei bastards was simply impossible to guard against. The Liaodong coast was so long, and he didn't even know where to guard!
If this continued, they would not even be able to enter China.
Even his Manchu clansmen would be slaughtered by those bastards from Weihai Wei!
Apart from being angry, he was even a little jealous of those bastards from Weihai Wei.
How big was the territory they occupied?
There wasn't even a single prefecture. In the vast land of Liaodong, which was sparsely populated, it was even more pitiful. However, such a small territory had such great potential.
Two to three million people had gathered in such a small territory!
What made him even more jealous was that this small Weihai Wei faction could actually mobilize its troops to fight at any time, and it could even mobilize them once every two to three days. The people below actually did not rebel!
This made him rack his brains every time he used his troops to prepare to break through the pass and go south to plunder Great Ming. He had to consider all the details and consequences of sending troops. It was really too difficult for him!
"Your Majesty, bad news, bad news. We just received news that Weihai Wei's navy has landed. They've sent 5,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 farmers to surround the Golden State Guard. The Golden State Guard is in danger!”
Soon, another piece of news came, causing Huang Jitai, who already had a headache, to feel dizzy.
"Then what are we waiting for?" he roared as he slammed the table. Mobilize the troops and immediately relieve the Jinzhou Guards. It would be best if the 5,000 elite soldiers and 10,000 farmers of Weihai Guards who landed were all left behind!”
"Tsk!"
The ministers below all accepted the order and began to discuss where to mobilize the nearby troops and how many troops to mobilize.
When the Manchu Tartar forces were not mobilized, they were usually stationed in their respective territories with their flags as units. Each force was scattered. This was the case with the Manchu flag, and so was the Han flag and the Mongolian flag.
The local defense was also the responsibility of the Banner Soldiers. They didn't set up a local garrison. The reason they did so was because they had no choice. There were too few Tartars in the Qing Dynasty. It would be difficult for them to attack.
As for adding the Han and Meng flags?
Then they didn't even think about adding the Han and Meng flags. Wasn't that courting death?!
What if he fattened up the flag soldiers of the two races and directly stabbed them over their heads?!
Wasn't this asking the servant to rebel against the master?!
Not to mention the princes and ministers above, even the Tartar soldiers below were unwilling.
As a result, the Manchu Tartars had occupied such a large territory, but they had never had enough troops. Many places were occupied by towns and villages.
As for the vast rural areas, many of them had been abandoned by them.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't have the ability!
Before this, the Manchu Tartars were at their peak, conquering the surrounding forces one by one, and no one dared to cause trouble in their territory.
They didn't even realize the loophole in the local defense.
This time, the Weihai Guards appeared out of nowhere and crossed the sea. The officials of the Manchu Tartars were shocked to find that the local defense of the Qing Dynasty was filled with holes!
No matter where he looked, he did not have enough troops and was still lacking in self-defense.
They immediately excluded all the soldiers from the towns along the coastline and could only mobilize the soldiers who were deep inland.
He moved a little here and there.
In the end, they gathered 5,000 soldiers, 10,000 Han soldiers, and 10,000 Meng soldiers. A total of 25,000 soldiers were all cavalry. They gathered outside Shengjing City and rushed to the Golden State Guard.
But what they never expected was that the Golden State Guard didn't even hold on for a day!
This news almost made all the nobles and ministers of the Qing Dynasty vomit blood!
The target of reinforcement was gone, but reinforcement still needed to continue.
Weihai Wei was still wreaking havoc on the Liaodong Peninsula. There was also news that Fuzhou Wei was surrounded. Even Gaizhou Wei had traces of their navy.
This was an extremely terrifying sign!
To the north of Gaizhou Guard was Haizhou Guard, and to the north was Liaoyang Guard, which was to the south of Shengjing.
If the army of Weihai Wei attacked Gaizhou Wei after landing, wouldn't they attack Shengjing City?!
No one could bear the consequences.
Then what were they waiting for?
Quickly mobilize the troops!
As the Weihai Army approached the Gaizhou Guards, the Tartars in Shengjing City were in a state of panic. It was as if the Weihai Army was about to attack Shengjing City.
In three days, the 25,000 pure cavalry troops were mobilized to the camp outside Shengjing City. They did not even have a hot meal. They were urged by the panicked princes and ministers to go south to help the Gaizhou Guard and the besieged Fuzhou Guard.
They sprinted for their lives and finally, seven days after the Weihai Guards took down the Jinzhou Guards, the first batch of 25 thousand Tartars arrived at the Gaizhou Guards. Following that, there was an endless stream of Tartar reinforcements that were being urgently mobilized. There was no other way. Gaizhou Guards were too close to Shengjing. The Tartars were afraid that their hometown would be raided!
