The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 850 The Pine brocade battle
The wheat in the fields near Jinzhou was ripe, and Ningyuan organized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to help harvest. Nearly [-] young and middle-aged men worked together, and it took only about ten days to complete the harvest.

Liaodong has not suffered any major disasters, and the year is average. The three 10,000+ mu farmlands have been trampled and affected the harvest, but the rest are not bad. The "Red Banner Army" got a full 30 shi of wheat.

These grains were originally the rations for the survival of 10,000+ people in Jinzhou, but now they have all been seized.

This means that even if the "Red Banner Army" gave up attacking Jinzhou and retreated directly, within two months, Jinzhou would run out of food.

In the entire Manchu and Qing Dynasties, too much labor was used to smelt steel and build Shengjing city pools to reinforce forts, resulting in a reduction in planting area and neglect of field management.

Shengjing is overwhelmed with self-care, and counting on Chongde to provide food relief to the 10,000+ people in Jinzhou is a dream.

The "Red Banner Army" took advantage of it before fighting a vicious battle, and the pleasure of directly reaping the harvest without hard work made too many soldiers from peasant households laugh from ear to ear.

The defenders at the head of Jinzhou City watched from a distance that the fruits of their hard work and sweat were laughed at by the "Red Banner Army" and were extremely depressed.

Although they felt sorry for the wheat, no one was willing to go out of the city to seize grain, not even two or three thousand Mongolian cavalrymen were willing to go out of the city for a surprise attack.

In fact, the vast majority of the hundreds of slaves who were thrown in Jinzhou came from the marginalized Xiangbai Banner. After their banner owner Duoduo was hacked to pieces by the Ming Dynasty, no new banner owner has been identified yet.

More than half of the more than [-] Tartars belonged to the Horqin Manzhu Xili Department. Two or three thousand of their tribe had lost their lives in North Korea, and only a hundred or so were released by the "Red Banner Army".

The vast majority of Jiannu armored men and Tartar control stringers saw the released tribesmen, and learned that they were left alive by the "Red Banner Army" and could still eat and clothe themselves warmly. The slave has no heart at all.

Tala Tanbai and Wu Zaku Hongniyaka were the chief generals of the Manchurian cavalry in Jinzhou City, and they were unpopular.

Because the soldiers of the Xiangbai Banner here accounted for more than [-]%, and the soldiers of the other Seven Banners were very few. The two main generals were actually from the Zhenghong Banner and the other from the Zhengbai Banner, and they were not generals of the original Xiangbai Banner squad at all.

Although Tan Bai and Hong Niyaka are two illiterates who only know how to kill with a knife, they are not stupid. They can see that the soldiers have no fighting spirit, so of course they dare not be too forceful.

In case the helpless [-] Mongolian cavalry surrendered to the "Red Banner Army" collectively when they launched a surprise attack, they might be captured alive by the Ming army and face death by death.

There may be quite a few of the Manchu and Mongolian generals who were not afraid of death or death in battle, but all of them were afraid of being hacked into pieces and skinned for grass.

The situation in Jinzhou was so severe that the Han army and Korean soldiers could not be trusted. Tan Bai and Hong Niyaka believed that as long as they led the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry out of Jinzhou City, it would be impossible to enter the city again.

The helpless two people have realized that the end will not be good, and it has become their normal state to drink too much in the mansion and try to get themselves drunk to escape reality.

Unlike the generals who were mourning and concubine, most of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Jiannu, Tartar, Han, and Goryeo soldiers didn't care, and at worst raised their hands to surrender. Anyway, the "Red Banner Army" accepted the surrender and gave them enough to eat.

There are even too many Han troops looking forward to the "Red Banner Army" launching an attack to take Jinzhou. Most of these people are from the original Liao people whose hometowns are in the pass. They are eager to go home and look forward to getting news from their relatives.

Unlike the Qing army in Jinzhou, which was in panic all day long, the "Red Banner Army" with sufficient soldiers and provisions celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival and watched the positive energy drama written by Ruan Dacheng.

Almost no one has the anxiety before the war. On the contrary, the vast majority of soldiers are looking forward to gaining decapitation and advancing in the offensive and defensive battles.

It has been the tenth year since Huang Han's soul traveled through Daming. Ever since he had his first younger brother, Song Pengfei, he has spared no effort in cultivating talents.

Today's "Red Banner Army" has almost no illiteracy except for some Mongolian cavalry. The soldiers are extremely confident and think that the mere city of Jinzhou should be within easy reach.

Of course, this kind of self-confidence does not come from the fearlessness of the ignorant, but from the psychological strength, from the hard training that sweats more in peacetime and bleeds less in wartime.

There is nothing good in subduing others' soldiers without fighting.

It is known that there are more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City, of which Han Chinese accounted for more than [-]%, Koreans accounted for about [-]%, and Manchu and Mongolian cavalry accounted for less than half.

The artillery bombardment and air strikes by the flying army will not only cause huge damage to the city, but also how many soldiers and civilians will die in the fire.

Only when it is absolutely necessary, Huang Han will launch a war of destruction.

Don't worry, a cooked duck can't fly.

Generals such as Hanzi, Sang Yu, and Yuan Siming led [-] to [-] "Red Banner Army" elite cavalry to patrol the periphery of the Jinzhou encirclement.

The Songjin War in history was the pinnacle battle of the red gangsters to encircle and aid, causing the Ming army to bury 10,000+ elite frontier troops, and it was declared to be doomed from then on.

The first reason is that Zu Dashou led the troops to defend Jinzhou, which was heavily besieged by the Qing army, and Hong Chengchou led the eight generals with 10,000+ troops to rescue the siege. In the end, they were defeated on the pre-set battlefield in Honggui.

Among the eight generals, the treacherous Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Wang Pu, and Ma Ke escaped in time and survived, while the loyal and brave Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen swore to die and died generously.

Except for Wang Pu who was beheaded by Chongzhen, the commander-in-chief who ran back was still leading the army. Wu Sangui is the most famous traitor. As we all know, Tang Tong and Bai Guangen surrendered to Li Zicheng first, and then Dorgon was also notorious.

Zu Dashou exhausted all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and after exhausting Hong Chengchou into a traitor, he stopped. He dedicated Jinzhou City as a traitor.

Maybe it would have been better if this kid offered the city and surrendered a few years earlier. Daming didn't need to run the "Ningjin Line of Defense" and instead managed the line of defense from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan.

The supply line has been shortened, and most of the castles along the line are near the sea, so they can get supplies from the sea. With Hong Chengchou, a commander who can act alone, he may not necessarily encounter a disastrous defeat like the "Songjin War".

All in all, Chongzhen's dynasty was extremely bad, and his luck was so bad that drinking cold water stuck his teeth. In addition, Chongzhen didn't know how to employ people, and in the end Manqing took a big advantage.

Today's situation is completely different. The millions of soldiers and civilians of the "Red Banner Army" system who have opened their eyes to the world not only have a sense of national honor, but also a sense of responsibility to defend their homes and the country. Why should mere slaves be afraid?
Originally, Jinzhou, the Ming city in history, was surrounded by the Qing army. In fact, Jinzhou, the city of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was surrounded by the "Red Banner Army". Although the city guard is still Zu Dashou.

It is completely different from Chongzhen, who did not understand the art of war, repeatedly urging Hong Chengchou to go to Jinzhou to fight the decisive battle with the Qing army. Hong is clearly abandoning Jinzhou and refuses to be surrounded by the "Red Banner Army".
