Daming wolf ride

Updated: 2012-09-23

Naturally, the convoy carrying grain and grass was not fast, and they arrived in Jinzhou late in the day, and did not enter the city, so they camped outside the city overnight.

Before dawn the next day, they rushed towards Jinzhou. At dusk, they camped at Jiming Post, less than ten miles away from Dalinghe City.Except for the fast horses of the Ming army traveling between Jinzhou and Dalinghe, there were no Houjin scout cavalry along the way.

Before dawn the next day, Shi Dayong ordered the whole army to set off, and finally arrived at Dalinghe City at noon.

The two consecutive months of construction have brought Dalinghe City to its initial scale. The city walls on the southeast, north, and south sides have basically been built, leaving only the north wall unfinished.There are busy soldiers and civilians everywhere inside and outside the city, densely packed like worker ants. [

Dalinghe City was built in the south of Daling River, and there used to be a small city in the north called Xiaolinghe City.However, it was demolished by Houjin three years ago.This time, Sun Chengzong, the Liaodong economic strategist, asked Zu Dashou to rush to repair the Dalinghe City. He did not order to build the Xiaolinghe City. Maybe he knew that the task of building the city was too heavy and cost too much money and food.

His implementation Dayong didn't know much about the Liaodong War in this era, but he knew that Sun Chengzong was the founder of the so-called "Guan Jin" line of defense in the Ming Dynasty, and also the creator of the so-called "Guan Ning Iron Cavalry".

However, looking at the "Oriental Maginot" defense line that Sun Chengzong built with the eyes of future generations, it can only be said that he was wasting money and food, because every time he overhauled civil engineering, he accelerated the pace of the fall of Ming Dynasty.

Regardless of whether he is right or wrong, the governor Qiu Hejia said that the last time Sun Chengzong came to Jinzhou, he once said to the civil servants and military generals in Jinzhou City, "If the Ming Dynasty wants to consolidate the Liao Dynasty, it must build this city; This city must be demolished."

This shows the importance of Dalinghe City in Sun Chengzong's Liaodong strategy.In fact, since Yuan Chonghuan was the governor of Liaodong, the competition between the Ming and the Jin for the big and small Linghe cities has been very fierce. Taking the Dalinghe city as an example, it has been built twice and demolished, and this time it is the third reconstruction.

Alas, I really don't know what Sun Chengzong is thinking, why does he like to repeat a fundamentally hard work so much?So what can this Dalinghe city be built? As long as the golden soldiers cut off the passage between Dalinghe and Jinzhou, they can trap Dalinghe city to death without fighting.

Perhaps Sun Chengzong's idea is good, build a strong city and then consolidate an area, and then move forward, build new cities continuously, each new city is like a sharp knife inserted into Houjin's heart, and finally squeeze Houjin through several strong cities their territory, reduce their space for strategic activities, and then engage in a decisive battle with them.Of course they can't win, but they can rely on the advantage of a strong city to consume Houjin's troops.

After a long time, it is doubtful that Jin will fail, and it seems that it should be so on the surface.

But the problem lies in this time. You must know that God did not give Daming too much time, and every time you spend a lot of money to build a new city, you will force a group of people in the pass to turn against you.

When the Central Plains is full of wars, where can you continue to build a strong city with a lot of money?

Besides, without strong cavalry, no matter how many strong cities you build, Hou Jin will surround the city and block your food roads. .

The key to the Liao incident was the issue of field combat capabilities. If this point is not resolved, any line of defense will be useless.

An army that can only passively defend will never change the fate of the dynasty's demise.

Shi Dayong was also anxious. The "vicious circle" was his comment on Sun Chengzong's Liao strategy.But what can I do if I know, what can I do if I don’t know, I’m not in my position, I don’t plan to do something, some things are just like this, instead of worrying about things that I shouldn’t worry about, it’s better to try to do my own things well.

The most urgent task at the moment is to train the Songshan Army. With the Songshan Army as the foundation, climb up step by step, and finally be able to pull the wheel of history in another direction through one's own strength.

Whether it's a gambler, a rascal, or a rich man, he's always the son of a Han family, and he must never be a slave.

.........

Dalinghe City must be surrounded by Huang Taiji's heavy troops, otherwise Zu Dashou would not have surrendered for the first time.It’s just that I don’t know the exact day when Dalinghe City was besieged. To be honest, Shi Dayong felt uneasy every time he came to escort food and grass. He was afraid that he would also be besieged in Dalinghe City. To eat is to eat people, and then follow Zu Dashou to become a traitor or serve as a slave for the Manchus.

Fortunately, God bless, several escorts before and after, did not meet the Hou Jin army to surround.But it is impossible for God to bless him every day. The old man always falls asleep, and God knows whether he will encounter the Jin army attacking the city next time when he transports grain and grass. [

To be on the safe side, Shi Dayong thought that after going back this time, he would find an excuse to let go of this errand no matter what, and asked Qiu Hejia to find someone else to do the errand of sending him to death.

It never occurred to him to tell Qiu Hejia that Zu Dashou was over this time, and that Dalinghe City would be surrounded by the Jin army soon, because he couldn't explain how he knew that the Jin army would come to besiege the city.

Besides, the construction of the Daling River was ordered by Sun Chengzong. Even if Qiu Hejia knew that Daling River City was in danger, he could not order Zu Dashou to abandon the city and retreat.Moreover, it has been more than two months since Dalinghe built the city, but there has been no movement from the Houjin army. Most Jinzhou officials, including Qiu Hejia, are optimistic that the Houjin army will not send troops. Under such circumstances, if Shi Dayong insisted on saying that the Jin army would come to attack immediately, it would most likely be considered alarmist.

Therefore, whether it is said or not is the same, the tragedy of Dalinghe cannot be avoided.Unless you have tens of thousands of strong soldiers in your hands, then you can go to rescue them. Unfortunately, Shi Dayong only has 900 men in his hands. It would be a dream to rely on these 900 men to defy the sky.

It is good for travelers to have ambitions, but they must also recognize the reality.A person who knows the current affairs is a hero has often become the only way to persuade people to surrender and be a traitor, but sometimes, it may not be wrong.

The convoy stopped outside Nancheng, and Shi Dayong sent people into the city to contact the grain and grass officer as usual, and then prepared to unload the grain and return to Songshan.

But after waiting for half a stick of incense, Shi Dayong waited a little impatiently for the food and grass officer in the city to come out to deal with the formalities.The hot sun was hot and poisonous, and the subordinates and peasants had already been exhausted after rushing all the way.In terms of emotion and reason, the city should also send people out to contact them earlier, and then let their own people go to the city for a short rest before returning.

It was like this a few times before, but what happened today?

"Guo Yi, take people there to urge them to hurry up." Shi Dayong ordered Guo Yi to take people to the gate of the city to urge the defenders.

"Yes, my lord!"

Guo Yi had just taken a few steps away when he heard the sound of horseshoes in the city, and then saw a young general in white robe leading dozens of cavalry rushing out of the city.
