However, Daishan's military order has been issued, even if he has any objections.
So, with no other choice, on the next day, they were finally surrounded from all sides and attacked Lushun City again.
The builders of the other three walls were just for containment this time.
In fact, no one climbed the wall so bravely after witnessing the first siege. No matter how thick the shields in their hands are, no matter how agile they are, they can't avoid the countless gravel sprayed from the muzzle. It can be said that the power of black powder firearms has been fully exerted under the defense system of the bastion.
The North Korean sailors had the least autonomy. Even the fake Tatars who surrendered to the Manchus could give them orders.
They could not refuse to attack the city, but they also showed their fighting qualities. He rushed to the bottom of the city timidly. When he saw that the people around him were killed and injured, he all retreated with a crash. Some even got desperate and dived into the water, dodged first, and then got on the boat after the battle was over.
Therefore, this battle lasted much longer than the battle fought by the Manchu and Qing Dynasties yesterday. However, the casualties caused were only about half of the previous Qing casualties.
Daishan had no choice but to send Kong Youde back to Jinzhou to transport grain. Anyway, his artillery battalion is of no use here.
Even if Daishan doesn't want to fight the next war, he has to accept it. The only way to go is to besiege the city.
Everyone in the Qing Dynasty thought that the next war would be boring. After they surrounded Lushun City, dug trenches and filled it with antlers, they should bask in the sun and wait for the Ming army's food and supplies in Lushun City to be exhausted, and then they could easily capture Lushun City.
This kind of thinking also applies to the Manchu navy. They don't need to dig trenches or fill antlers, so they have more time. Many Koreans on the warships of the Korean navy actually took out their fishing nets and transformed themselves into fishermen. Under the watchful eyes of the Ming army at the top of Lushun City, they began to fish.
This kind of leisurely mood was shared by Zu Dashou from Guan Ning in the beginning.
After confirming that Jianlu was fighting in Jinzhou, he took even greater action here, and even sent a cavalry army of 500 people to the border of Haizhou. Then, he received another warning letter from Huang Taiji.
Along with this warning letter, there was also a letter from Deng Changchun, persuading Zu Dashou not to cause trouble, that is, to speak for the Manchus.
This Deng Changchun was a member of the Ancestor Army. After surrendering to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, he was reused by Huang Taiji and served as the administrator of the Household Department of the Qing Dynasty. This is another member of the Ancestral Army. Han Daxun, who was in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs before Deng Changchun, was discovered by the Manchu Qing Dynasty that he had embezzled treasury funds privately, so he still asked Deng Changchun to take over this position. This also shows that Huang Taiji did a lot of things to win over the ancestral army.
After Zu Dashou read the two letters, he didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "It seems that the war in Jinzhou is a bit big. Huang Taiji can't fight on two fronts, so he can only write letters again and again. Warning. Next time, it won’t be from Jean Zerun, right?”
Zu Zerun is the son of Zu Dashou. He was already the deputy general, that is, the deputy commander-in-chief during the Ming Dynasty. In the battle of Dalinghe, he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and was also reused by Huang Taiji. Although he was not crowned king, he had tens of thousands of troops at his disposal, which was more powerful than any of the so-called three shun kings.
Hearing what Zu Dashou said, several of his brothers also laughed. In their opinion, they concluded that Huang Taiji was a strong man on the outside but a capable man on the inside.
However, Zu Dashou was still a little afraid of Huang Taiji, so after laughing for a while, he said again: "The emperor and the governor must have an explanation. I will lead the army personally when I go out. Go around in a circle. I'll be right back when it's almost time."
"Yes, let the emperor and the governor find no fault. No matter what, the eldest brother personally leads the troops to fight. This is definitely coordinating the friendly forces of Jinzhou!" Zu Dacheng also nodded in agreement.
For the Zu family army, when Zu Dashou led his troops to escape privately from the capital city and returned to Shanhaiguan, although Emperor Chongzhen kept his promise and did not pursue the case, it was still a thorn in the side. Now that there is an opportunity to gain favor and show the ancestors' loyalty to the Ming Dynasty, it is natural to do it.
Of course, it is often impossible to let the Zu family army and Jianlu fight to the death. What if you die in battle? What should I do if I completely offend Jianlu? What should I do if my troops are exhausted? These are all problems!
Now there is an opportunity to avoid these problems perfectly. No one objected to Zu Dashou's decision.
However, they underestimated Huang Taiji after all. The letter to them is just a cover. However, Jierhalang, Duduo and Azig had already brought their troops to come to him to settle accounts.
It's a pity that the owner of Emperor Chongzhen's eavesdropping seeds was not in Shenyang. Therefore, he had no way of knowing about Huang Taiji's action, and he was unable to notify Zu Dashou.
…………
Here in Jinzhou City, the obedient King Geng Zhongming is sitting in charge, and he is also a little bored. He was even thinking that, counting the time, the Qing army should capture Lushun City. I just don’t know whether it was Kong Youde’s artillery battalion that took down the city of Lushun, or will it be snatched away by Hauge?
There is a high probability that there is no way to compete with Hauge! After Geng Zhongming came to the conclusion, he walked out of the military camp and revisited the old place, where he saw the former commander of the Jinzhou Guard.
In the past, Jinzhou Guard and Fuzhou Guard were the two most important defense systems on the Liaodong Peninsula. The Ming Dynasty put a lot of thought into building many castles with beacons around these two cities. tower.
But what's the use? In the end, not all were defeated by the Qing Dynasty! As long as the military is strong enough, what does it matter if the Qing Dynasty is like that and doesn't need those castles?
Feeling this, Geng Zhongming discovered that Jinzhou under the Qing Dynasty was even more defeated than it was during the Ming Dynasty. There were almost no people on the streets of Jinzhou.
This is actually not difficult to understand. The people of Jinzhou today are actually only Manchus and other minority groups who surrendered to the Manchus. In addition, there are also a small number of Han family members who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. Ordinary Han people, who were originally the majority of the people, died in the war and under the butcher knife of the Qing Dynasty. The remaining ones were completely reduced to slaves. Now, including those Han people who were originally plundered from the pass, they are all working outside the city!
With this in mind, Geng Zhongming climbed to the top of the city again and glanced outside the city. Sure enough, he saw groups of Han slaves working in the fields, and they didn't need many troops to guard them.
Seeing this, Geng Zhongming couldn't help but sigh.
In the past, during Mao Wenlong's era, there would have been no such situation. Everyone will try their best to escape. As long as they escape to the coast, they can meet Mao Shuai's soldiers and escape from the Qing Dynasty's clutches. However, now that Mao Shuai's bones are cold, there is nowhere to go in the entire Liaodong, extinguishing the hope of the Han people. In this way, these Han slaves can be regarded as settling down!
Thinking of this, Geng Zhongming, who was once a former Dongjiang general, couldn't help but feel emotional. In the original history, he took in fugitives many times, and was eventually reported to have committed suicide out of fear of crime. This was different from He Shang Kexi, a Manchu die-hard.
Looking closely, Geng Zhongming could see the numbness he was familiar with on the faces of the Han slaves working outside the city. This happened only after despair. He could understand the thoughts of these Han slaves very well.
Looking up at the sky, I see blue sky and white clouds, but it is a pity that the world is now dominated by the Qing Dynasty.
Geng Zhongming withdrew his gaze and looked at the surrounding city walls. He saw that the men he had brought were leaning on the city walls some distance away, looking a little bored as well.
So, he stepped over.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
"..."
Facing the greetings, Geng Zhongming cursed: "Look at you like this, cheer up, how can you look like a soldier?"
His men were not frightened. Although they stood a little better, they all answered him in a flurry of words: "Your Majesty, this is nothing, why do you need to cheer up?"
"Yes, the Ming army that came across the sea was probably destroyed. This side of Liaodong is ruled by the Qing Dynasty. Who should we guard against?"
"My lord, are you watching them? Where can they escape? Besides, aren't there brothers outside the city watching? And their masters are also supervising the work!"
"Is it possible, my lord, that you are afraid that they will rebel and seize Jinzhou City? Haha..."
"..."
Facing this group of old people, Geng Zhongming was really not angry. Over the years, countless familiar faces had disappeared. And they are right, who should I guard against? To whom?
Therefore, he cursed: "You bunch of Qiu Ba who don't know how to live or die!"
Then, he walked down to the city with his hands behind his back. It was another boring day!
However, when he just walked off the top of the city, suddenly, someone on the top of the city exclaimed: "What is that?"
At first, Geng Zhongming didn't take it seriously and was ready to go back.
However, before he took a few steps, he heard more exclamations.
"What's going on? Could it be... the Ming army?"
"This is impossible. Where did the Ming army come from? It shouldn't be the case!"
"That must be someone wearing a Yuanyang jersey. Who else could he be if he wasn't a Ming army?"
"..."
Geng Zhongming was a little surprised when he heard that there was a Ming army in Jinzhou? This is absolutely impossible!
He stopped and turned around, ready to take a look.
At this moment, the exclamations on the top of the city had turned into sounds of panic.
"It's the Ming Army, it's definitely the Ming Army!"
"The Ming army is coming, the Ming army is coming to kill!"
"Quick, police gong, where is the police gong? He's still sitting on his ass!"
"..."
Geng Zhongming felt anxious when he heard it, and immediately ran towards the top of the city. At the same time, he also heard the rapid sound of the alarm gong "dang-dang-dang...".
In just a moment, Geng Zhongming was on the top of the city. When his men saw him coming, they immediately pointed to the outside of the city and reported to him in panic: "Your Majesty, the Ming Army... the Ming Army is coming to kill!"
Geng Zhongming looked in the direction they were pointing, and sure enough, in the direction of the seaside, red crowds were swarming towards Jinzhou. What surprised him even more was that there were dozens of horses galloping over. From these dozens of horses, he could clearly see that they were indeed the Ming army.
Geng Zhongming was shocked. He immediately ordered the city gates to be closed and the entire army to be on alert.
While he was busy with this, he really couldn't understand why there were so many Ming troops in Jinzhou, and there were even cavalry troops. Could it be that on the shore of Lushun, Daishan led so many elites and were defeated by the Ming army?
It seems wrong. These Ming troops came not from Lushun, but from the seaside. However, this is also impossible, right? Shang Kexi, that idiot, was named King Zhishun by the emperor. Isn't he smarter? With more than 300 warships, were they defeated by the Ming Navy? It doesn’t mean that the Ming Dynasty Navy only has a dozen warships, and there will not be more than fifty warships that can stand up to the sky...
Geng Zhongming couldn't figure out why the Ming army came to Jinzhou City.
Similarly, people outside the city couldn't figure out why the Ming army suddenly appeared?
However, with the sudden appearance of the Ming army, the reaction of people outside the city was completely different.
The originally numb Han people were working lifelessly under the supervision of their masters and a few fake Tatars. However, when the Ming army appeared, they were first shocked, and then ecstatic. Ignoring the supervisors, they just threw away their things and ran away. It was as if they were just a shell and suddenly came to life again. It's like a lost child who suddenly sees his relatives and is filled with surprises when he is desperate.
The fake Tatars and the real Tatars were first shocked, and then panicked. Not caring about their Han slaves escaping, they ran towards Jinzhou City. In their hearts, they didn't even have time to think about why the Ming army appeared outside Jinzhou City!
The sudden appearance of the Ming army outside the city was indeed the real Ming army. They followed Lu Xiangsheng's military orders and took navy ships to avoid the Manchu navy and came to attack Jinzhou City and cut off the Manchu navy. The army's retreat. The leader of the army was Li Guo, also known as the tiger.
But unfortunately, even if they brought war horses, it was still too late, and the gate of Jinzhou City was closed immediately.
Li Dingguo was the leader of the cavalry. He stopped his horses within a stone's throw of Jinzhou City, pointed at the Tatars on the top of the city, and shouted loudly: "The Jianlu army has been defeated by the governor, please surrender quickly." , the Governor-General will open his eyes and let you wait for a way out!"
He didn't distinguish between real and fake Tatars. If he were originally from Liaodong, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that most of the people on the city were fake Tatars.
Therefore, the flaw in his words was immediately caught by the experienced Geng Zhongming. If Daishan was really defeated by the Ming army, he would not have known that he was stationed in Jinzhou. If you want to surrender, you will never say that.
But even so, he was very surprised and didn't know what the fighting situation was like over there.
Li Dingguo had no hope at first, and he didn't think that if he said a word, these Tatars would open the door and surrender. Therefore, after he finished speaking, he looked at the Tatars walking around the city, and he was not idle. He gave the order and began to hunt down these Tatars.
Call Tianshuo
The strong wind will blow tomorrow, and I have been excited for a few days. This is the first time in my life, I hope I can be calmer in the future
