The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 302 Siege of Fuzhou
But what if Hong Jie knew that the chrysanthemum was going to be exploded?At this time, Zhang Chun was on the way to set up a big trap painstakingly after entering Jinjun.

I believe that a great victory no less than that of Sarhu will come in a few days. How can we mobilize the already insufficient troops to move thousands of miles to southern Liaoning at this time.

Could it be that Dalinghe City is no longer besieged?The [-] to [-] reinforcements sent by Ming Dynasty entered the ambush area and were about to give up?The laborers mobilized the people to transfer the troops to southern Liaoning and found that the Ming army had boarded the boat and returned. Isn't the Dajin army being played by others?
Hong Xie suddenly received an urgent military situation from the South Four Guards, and he really couldn't sleep all night. In the end, he gritted his teeth and swore that he would not waver in his determination. Let the "Red Banner Army" attack the South Four Guards. The Jin Army only needs to kill [-] to [-] Ming army reinforcements. Defeating the Guan Ning army and taking Dalinghe City is victory.

Nu Chief is indeed an outstanding man of his generation, he has the demeanor of a general, he is firm-willed, and has not been distracted by Huang Han's intentional and undisguised large-scale landing to seize Fuzhou.

Just when Zhang Chun's men left Shanhaiguan and headed for Ningyuan, the "Red Banner Army" had already reached the city of Fuzhou, and the number of post-Jin troops here was three fewer than at the beginning of the year.

Undoubtedly, those men and horses were going to participate in the siege of Dalinghe City. Now there are three Niulu soldiers stationed in the garrison, and none of the Niulu is fully staffed. There are more than [-] armored men in total.

Fuzhou Shoujiang is a veteran Jiala, who really has some background. He is the second son of Guarja Fei Yingdong, the five ministers who governed the country during the old slave period, and his name is Guarja Nahai.

Knowing that the team that came was the "Red Banner Army", he was full of bitterness. He didn't dare to lead the cavalry out of the city to make a surprise attack. Instead, he immediately mobilized the whole city. All the troops went up to the city wall to participate in the defense of the city.

Since many Jiannu who got the news from tens of miles around fled into the city with Aha, the number of people in Fuzhou City is really quite a lot, probably more than [-] to [-].

There is also a lot of food, because the autumn harvest in Nansiwei is a few days earlier than that in Jinzhou, so the autumn harvest has just been busy here, the surrounding wheat fields have been harvested, and the grain has been put into storage.

The "Red Banner Army" did not have enough troops to encircle Fuzhou City, so they could only block three gates and camp close to Fuzhou to dig trenches to prevent the Jiannu from fleeing in Fuzhou City.

Not every city in Ming Dynasty had four gates, at least not Fuzhou City.

There are only three gates in the east, south and north.The north gate is called Zhenhai Gate, the south gate is Ying'en Gate, and the east gate is called Tongming Gate.

The city is really not big, with an area of ​​less than one square kilometer in the current measurement unit. The city wall is two feet and five feet high, which is just over eight meters. There used to be three watchtowers and three door guards.

It's just that when Jiannu seized Fuzhou, the three door guards were the first to be taken down in one fell swoop. Later, the Jiannu stationed there didn't think the dilapidated door guards had any defensive effect at all, and they didn't want to spend energy on repairing them. Now there are only three mounds left of the three guardrails.

The cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" was cruising around Fuzhou, and the scouts were sent out for fifty miles to guard against the appearance of reinforcements from Jinzhou or Gaizhou to build slaves.

It has been several months since Liu Zaiqi was appointed as an ungraded civil servant in the engineering battalion. He has been extremely excited these days because he is from Fuzhou. He never thought that the owner of the family would bring the "Red Banner Army" to capture Fuzhou City at this time. .

He thought of his mother who starved to death, his father who was trampled to death by Jiannu war horses, his wife who was snatched away, and his younger siblings who died unexpectedly. He didn't know where the only younger sister who was still alive was now?
The original master died in Daming, presumably his family would be ruined without a man.Was the little girl sold or starved to death?

The feeling of nostalgia is more timid, and Liu Zaiqi has mixed feelings at this time. He has followed Huang Han for more than a year, and he has been praised for his serious work. No one in the "Red Banner Army" system discriminates against him.

Nowadays, only Fang Liandong, who has been promoted to the official hundred-household officer, laughed and scolded him as a dog slave when he met him.For this reason, Fang Liandong was often reprimanded by the town governor.

Liu Zaiqi felt so ashamed every time he thought of wagging his tail and begging for his life with his master Jiannu, and couldn't lift his head every time he saw Fang Liandong.

Now he is eager to make meritorious service, eager to avenge his shame, and even more eager to be promoted to an officer, because he has read books and now teaches soldiers in the engineering barracks to read every day. You can ignore the combat power.

He thinks he has both culture and eloquence, and now he only needs to prove his loyalty to the "Red Banner Army" with military exploits before he can be promoted.

The Houjin Army in Fuzhou City was deploying emergency defenses. They mobilized more than [-] soldiers and civilians. Huang Han observed with a telescope and found that there were no more than eight Hongyi cannons in Fuzhou City, and there were not many Fran cannons. The accuracy of these artillery fires is worrying, and the range will not exceed two miles.

It was obvious that many of the people participating in the defense at the top of the city should be Han Chinese. In order to break down the enemy's morale, Huang Han decided to set aside a day for a propaganda campaign. The three Zanhua of the engineering battalion organized [-] loud military laborers to start shouting.

"Han people in Fuzhou City, the Ming army will take you home when the Ming army defeats Jiannu, and will give you land and housing, and let everyone have food and clothing. It will be forgotten.”

"Listen up, people of the Yehe clan. The Ming army knows that you are loyal to Ming Dynasty. Don't be afraid of being coerced by the Jianzhou Jurchen. The time has come to avenge those beasts that slaughtered your people."

"I am Liu Zaiqi. There should be many people who know me in the old neighborhood in Fuzhou City. Are Zhou Zhou and Liu Mazi in Sanmenli still alive? Are Erlianzi and Zhao Wuxiao from Chenghuangmiao Street still in the city?  …

It has been nearly two years since I left Fuzhou, and now I am rescued by the Ming army and live a good life. I can eat three meals a day, and I can also eat meat. Now I get a monthly salary of two taels of silver.Folks in Fuzhou City, you have to protect yourselves, the Ming army will definitely take Fuzhou and save everyone from the sea of ​​suffering..."

For a moment, Liu Zaiqi burst into tears and couldn't speak anymore.

A Han who was rescued in Qingcheng shouted hysterically: "Han brothers in Fuzhou, you can't die for Jian slaves in vain!
You also have guys who can kill people, steal Lengzi and chop up Jiannu, and the imperial court rewards 40 taels of silver for a Jiannu's head.Bloody men, here comes the opportunity for revenge..."

Nahai, who was constantly patrolling the city, heard it clearly. He was sweating. The Ming army is too hateful. How can we sow discord?

He saw that as long as there were Han people or members of the Yehe clan in the vicinity, he would be on full alert, not only him, the general, but also other Jian slaves began to be suspicious.

Jiannu's attitude was so weird that many Han Chinese and Yehe Jurchens who were not prepared to fight back began to waver, and they were always on guard against Jiannu killing people indiscriminately.
