Eighth year of Chongzhen

Chapter 393 Jinzhou
"What's the situation of building slaves outside? Is there a stance to attack the city? Tell the children to cheer up and watch carefully. At night, the number of patrol officers and soldiers must be doubled. The torches are lit at the top of the city, and the torches are thrown down at the bottom of the city. Mo I was taken advantage of by Jiannu! The second brother, the third brother, and you are on duty during the day! Zepu, you brothers have arranged for a good time, and you take turns going to the city to be on duty at night. You must be careful to patrol! Who dares to slack off at this critical moment Make a mistake, just cut off my head!"

In the grand mansion of the ancestral family in Jinzhou City, Zu Dashou sitting on the main seat was issuing orders, Zu Dale and Zu Dabi sat at the two ends of the lower row, and the rest of the ancestral family's nephews stood in two rows and obeyed orders.

"My son obeys! I will report to my lord father that after the slaves dug trenches and besieged the city, they did not appear to be attacking the city. There were only a small number of soldiers and horses left outside the four gates, and the main force was nowhere to be seen. Please rest assured, my lord father, the children understand the truth You will never delay the military aircraft at a critical moment!"

Zu Dashou's eldest son Zu Zepu came out and bowed to report.

"Hmph! Reasonable? If it's really sensible, what about the elder uncle? The Zu and Wu families have become enemies since then! And let the court take the opportunity to knock out thousands of cavalry! A bunch of bastards! I was at that time You should be killed!"

Thinking of the tragic conflict at home a few months ago, Zu Dashou felt as sick as eating a fly.

He looked at Zu Zehong and other culprits with hatred, wishing he could go up and strangle them to death.

Zu Zehong, Zu Zeqing and the others shrank back in fright, their expressions were also pale and uncertain.

Their own father is powerful, but they have been taught more than once. When they beat someone, they are directly disowned by their relatives, and they have to beat you.

"Okay, okay, brother, don't be angry. This is the end of the matter, and it's useless to talk about it. Now that the enemy is in front of us, we should think about how to deal with the enemy. In my opinion, this time Jiannu dispatched an army to go south. Could it be that he saved the general pine?" Jin wants to eat it in one bite?"

Zu Dale saw that his elder brother was about to make a move again, so he hurried out to smooth things over and change the topic.

"Well, look at this posture, this time Mrs. Hong's picture is not small! Tan Ma reported that the Eight Banners of the Jianzhou Army had already appeared, plus those Tartars and Kong Youde, the number of soldiers was probably [-]. Hong This time, I spent a lot of money, and it seems that I plan to eat Songjin and the surrounding castles in one bite!"

When it comes to the scale of the Qing army going south, Zu Dashou, who has always been carefree, also looks dignified.

"Then how should we deal with it? This time is nothing compared to the past. We can't deal with the [-] slaves and Tartars! Even if Hong Hengjiu of Songshan brought the new army from the court, it would be useless! If I knew it, I wouldn't teach you Kuan and the others have gone to the pass, and with them here, if there is any disagreement, we can still rush out of the city and run south!"

Zu Dabi on the side also said with a heavy face.

"Don't panic now, isn't Songshan surrounded? As long as Hong Hengjiu and other officials are around, the imperial court will definitely send people to rescue. It depends on whether the reinforcements are elite! By the way, second child, you hurry up People go out of the city and then report to the imperial court. If reinforcements come, don’t split up and rush in, but come to help slowly! It’s okay for us to guard for half a year and eight months. If the reinforcements rush forward, they will be ambushed by Jiannu! Hurry up! !"

After Zu Dashou said a few words, he suddenly thought of this important question, so he quickly ordered Zu Dale to send someone out of the city to deliver the letter.

Although the Qing army dug trenches to besiege the city, they did not block Jinzhou City very tightly.

The two sides have played against each other for many years, and they are too familiar with each other.

Ji Erhalang and others knew that even if the city was not besieged, Zu Dashou would never send troops out of the city to fight in the field. As for whether to send people inside the city to ask for help, this was what the Qing army wanted the most.

Besieging the city and fighting for aid is the most common method used by Jianzhou to deal with the Ming army, and it has been tried and tested.

Zu Dale got up and left in response, and Zu Dabi then said: "Brother, are you talking about whether Songshan City, Daxing, and Xingping can be defended? Last year, the two red flags of Jianzhou suffered a lot from the new army of the imperial court. Unfortunately, even though there are more slaves coming this time, if you want to win these castles, you will probably have to die a lot. I used to think that those officers and soldiers were not pleasing to my eyes, but now I hope they can do more Hold on for a while, until the imperial court reinforcements arrive!"

Last year, the two red flags led by Yue Tuo went south and failed, coupled with the previous battle to break through Yizhou, this gave Liaoxi generals a more intuitive understanding of the combat effectiveness of the new imperial army.

Seeing the elite of the Eight Banners who had fled in front of their eyes, the Liaoxi officials were both happy and shocked, and subconsciously regenerated their fear of the court.

It is under the influence of this emotion that the order of the Ministry of War to deploy troops will be smoothly implemented.

"Jiannu will not attack these castles right away! If my predictions are correct, Jiannu will also surround these castles and wait until the city runs out of food for several days before attacking the city. After the two battles last year, Jiannu also Knowing the power of the army's firearms, this time I won't take human lives to kill me. Now I am not worried about these, I am afraid that there are no such elite soldiers in the hands of the imperial court. If it is only these, then it will be a big deal Yea!"

Zu Dashou frowned and replied.

"Father, besides these new troops, is it possible that the imperial court has no strong troops in its hands? The bandits in the pass have already been wiped out. There are quite a few generals under the name of the Ministry of War, and the strength of the Nine Frontier Army is also very impressive. Cao Wenzhao , Yang Guozhu, Hu Dawei, Wang Pu, Zuo Liangyu and others are also famous generals who have been famous for a long time, if they are ordered to come to help at that time, they may not be able to beat Jiannu!"

Zu Zepu on the side couldn't help but interjected.

"Hmph! Cao Wenzhao is reasonable. Yang Guozhu and Hu Dawei are also considered veterans, and there are some people who can fight under them. As for Wang Pu and Zuo Liangyu's generation, they are all smooth sailing. Hard stubble, if there is no strong person to suppress it, if you don't keep it together, you will be the first to escape! If this is the case, this Ming will be in trouble!"

When it came to the end, Zu Dashou's mood was extremely complicated, he leaned back on the back of the chair with his straight body, and his face became confused.

From the bottom of my heart, Zu Dashou and most of the generals in Western Liaoning still have a sense of belonging to Daming. They don't want to see Daming replaced by others. important reason.

As long as Daming survives, Liaoxi generals will lie on Daming's body to suck blood from generation to generation, and continue to live an incomparably luxurious life.

Although in the eyes of the vast majority of people in Ming Dynasty, they were just a group of local rich men, Zu Dashou and others were already quite satisfied.

"Father, don't worry too much. My son thinks that the court will not be defeated this time! Didn't you say that the court has produced another powerful person named Sun Chuanting? It is said that this person is more capable than Hong Hengjiu. My son thinks that this time The next imperial court will definitely send him to lead the army to help. With him as the commander, those generals will not bow their heads? Coupled with the alarm we sent, this Sun Chuanting will definitely not be fooled by Jiannu, and the food and grass for Jiannu will be exhausted by then , don’t you have to obediently return to Shengjing?”

Seeing his father's depressed look, Zu Zepu couldn't help but comfort him.

"Brother, what Zepu said is very reasonable! Jiannu seems to be coming in a menacing way this time, but I think it's actually not a big deal! In terms of familiarity with Jianzhou, Daming is better than us? These few days Under the imperial court’s ban on Jianzhou in [-], how many things did they have to show? In my opinion, this time Hong Taiqiong was just impatient, so he sent the army here! I reckoned that the Jiannu brought The grain and grass supplies will never last half a year! Just don’t worry, big brother, we can get a good deal if we can’t be sure!”

　Thanks to the book friends who call me the god of death, and the book friends who are dull and cute for their rewards.As the rectification of online articles is getting more and more serious, I am not sure about the upcoming Liaodong battle. I am afraid that if I write too much detail, it will be harmonized because of the propaganda of violence and blood. Now I am very entangled.
