Daming wolf ride

There was no sign of snow coming, and the fine sky suddenly burst into gusts of wind, accompanied by snowflakes the size of goose feathers.The stronger the wind, the heavier the snow that fell, and within an hour, the red blood on the top of the city was covered by white snowflakes, and the entire Shenyang City became a city of ice and snow.

The most feared thing finally came. The heavy snow disrupted the Ming army's retreat plan. It didn't need to be snowed for two days, just one night, it would be a disaster for the Ming army.

Dayong originally wanted to wait until the banner people in the inner city were dealt with, and then began to coerce the Han people in the outer city to evacuate to Liaoyang, but now it seems that it is impossible to complete the migration of nearly 10 people in the ice and snow.

The wind and snow made the generals of all battalions gather at Fengtianmen at the same time, and the light cavalry in charge of the northeast direction also rushed back to Shenyang under the leadership of Peng Sihai.

All the generals frowned deeply, they knew what this heavy snow meant to the Ming army.

The generals said that as soon as the snow fell, the whole army would withdraw tomorrow, otherwise once the heavy snow freezes, it will be difficult for the army to move.Those who hold this view are Li Zhongfu and Geng Zhongming, who were injured during the siege and were still wearing cable ties.Xiang Chong, Zheng Tai and other officers who were former rebel generals also agreed with Li and Geng's views that the army could no longer be delayed in Shenyang and had to withdraw quickly.

Zhang Cunren and Liu Tianlu were also injured, but they didn't speak, because they knew that they had just returned to the Ming army, and they didn't have a chance to speak.But a few faces clearly told others that they also wanted to withdraw quickly.

However, Lin Junyi, Guo Cheng and others insisted on the original established plan, no matter what, the Han people in the outer city must be moved to Liaoyang, and no brick or tile should be left for the Tartars.

Their idea is good, but it is difficult to implement it. It is easy to burn Shenyang City, but the key is how to safely move the [-] Han people in the outer city to southern Liaoning.

After a heavy snowfall, the outdoor temperature drops to a bone-chilling level, and even urinating can freeze. There are so many people, old and young, how do people with their families get along?If it is forced to move, I am afraid that more people will freeze to death on the road than in the place.

Continuing to implement the original relocation plan is undoubtedly murdering the [-] Han people.The Jinzhou army is the army of the Ming Dynasty and the army of the Han people. Although these Han people have lived under the rule of the Tartars for many years, this does not negate the fact that they are Han people.

Since Dayong led the Songshan army, he has always emphasized to his subordinates that we must not do evil to our compatriots, let alone commit evil. Otherwise, what is the purpose of us people beating to death? Is it just for our own self-interest?

The answer is definitely no. The Jinzhou Army exists to protect Daming and the people of the Ming Dynasty in the pass from the persecution of the Tartar butchers. How are they different.The [-] Han people in Shenyang City were different from the Denglai rebels who rebelled. They did not have the blood of their compatriots on their hands, and some of them were only a small part of them.No one cares about the life and death of the small number of traitors, but if they are forcibly ordered to migrate in the ice and snow, it is a murder.

It is hard to imagine that the Han people who survived the cold and starvation would still have a good impression of the Jinzhou Army and a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty.

"Where do the chariots and horses come from?"

"Where does the food come from?"

"Who will protect them?"

"..."

A series of questions made Lin Junyi and Guo Cheng dumbfounded. Yes, they want to move people away, but how can they ensure that these people will not go hungry or cold, and who can guarantee that they will not be attacked by the Jin army halfway? Woolen cloth.

"Commander Jiang, what do you think?" Lin Junyi looked at the silent Jiang Wanli for help, hoping that the No. [-] figure in the Jinzhou Army would support them.

"I don't know, what to do, we just listen to the commander in chief."

Jiang Wanli answered very simply, and directly pushed the problem to Dayong.

All the generals hurriedly looked at Dayong, Dayong smiled wryly, touched his crippled face, glanced at the generals, and asked them: "What is the purpose of our army crossing the sea and marching north this time?"

Xiang Chong said without thinking: "Naturally, we should kill all the tribes of the Tartars, rob them of their property, burn their houses, and leave them nowhere to live. This is the scorched earth strategy. The so-called national strength is human power It is vitality, if one less person works for the Tartars, the Tartars will lose one point of vitality, and if one point of vitality is lost, the national power of the Tartars will naturally be reduced by one point. If one declines and the other rises, our Ming Dynasty will eventually be able to completely destroy the Tartars .”

After Dayong rushed to Chong and nodded approvingly, he asked the generals: "In that case, what are you fighting for? Could this heavy snow change our plan?"

Hearing this, Lin Junyi and Guo Cheng were overjoyed, thinking that Dayong was supporting them to relocate the Han people from the outer city.

Geng Zhongming was still not reconciled. He persuaded: "The banner people in the inner city are easy to deal with, but what about the 10 people in the outer city? Is the commander really going to take them away? Since ancient times, there has never been a successful escape with 10,000+ people. of."

"Hong Tai's army may come back at any time. Even if Fengxue can buy us a few more days, it's impossible for us to withdraw with so many people?"

Zhang Cunren felt that he had to tell what he was most worried about. If the Jinzhou Army decided to take the [-] Han people away, then Zhang Cunren would be in vain anyway.He didn't believe that the ten thousand Jinzhou Army could stop Hong Tai's Eight Banners army. Once Hong Tai's army arrived, neither the Jinzhou Army nor the common people would be able to escape.How can those who do great things have the benevolence of women.

After Jiang Wanli frowned, he also said: "The commander has to be cautious about this matter." Considering the consequences of taking the people to evacuate together, he still leaned towards Li Zhongfu's opinion.

But Lin Junyi said confidently: "As long as the commander-in-chief makes up his mind, the last general will find a way. We can't throw these 10 people to the Tartars."

Dayong affirmed: "Of course you can't throw people to Mrs. Hong. Don't underestimate these 10 people. Hmph, the Eight Banners of the Tartars are only 10 people. If you throw these 10 people to them, it won't take much money." Years, they can recover."

"But we can't take these people away?" Jiang Wanli was a little helpless. If the coach made a decision, he would have to do his best, but how could he successfully move [-] people to hundreds of miles away? At a loss.

"We can't take it away. If it doesn't snow, I estimate that at least 7 people can be moved away, but now, alas..." Dayong rubbed his temples with a headache, and said something for a while, which made the generals startled If you live here, "Since you can't take it with you, you can't leave it with Mrs. Hong."

"What does the Commander mean?" Jiang Wanli's heart was pounding, he had followed Shi Dayong for so long, how could he not know what he meant.

"Lessing one person is to reduce the strength of the Eastern Captives. For the sake of the overall situation, we have to sacrifice these 10 people." After making up his mind, Dayong's face was still as indifferent as before, as if saying something from his mouth. The ultimate decision is not the lives of [-] people, but the life and death of one or two people.
