Tianjin must be beaten down!

Nowadays, there are two Guangzhou, Fujian Province and Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces in the south of the Ming Dynasty to transport the money and grain to the northern imperial capital by sea, and Tianjin Port is the terminal station.

In addition to Tianjin being a gathering place for money and grain, Tong Yangxing is more concerned about the Ming Dynasty's cannon factory in Tianjin!

This factory was the main gun manufacturer in the north of the Ming Dynasty, providing a steady stream of firearms for the Ming Dynasty, where imitation red-coated cannons, Lumi guns, three-eyed guns, tiger squat guns, etc., also made gunpowder.

The capture of Tianjin can obtain the technical talents coveted by the Qing Dynasty, and further overcome the technical problems of the Qing Dynasty's imitation of Hongyi cannons and flintlock pistols.

Tong Yangxing was ordered to preside over the Qing Dynasty's firearms casting, the main direction of attack is the red-coated cannon and flintlock pistol, the technology is always not up to par, the red-coated cannon is made more than half of the weight of the Southeast Army, the power is less than the artillery of the Southeast Army, and it can not last, more than 20 rounds are fired continuously, and it can be blown up if it does not stop in the middle!

In this way, who would dare to use Tong Yang's cannon!

Many of the flintlock pistols made by the Southeast Army fell into the hands of the Qing army (the Ming army had good guns and was defeated), and they were used to imitate, and the flintlock pistols produced had many problems, often muted fire, and the barrel was deformed after many shots, and they lacked good steel to make the gun machine, and the quality of gunpowder was also poor.

The Qing army refused to use these weapons, and the grandfathers said: "We trust our sabers and bows and arrows more......"

Originally, in the parallel space, the Qing army once won the jackpot, once a seaside foreigner shipwreck, and the good red-coated cannon on the ship was sent to the hands of the Qing army.

Another time was the traitor Kong Youde, who held the technicians of the Dengzhou Artillery Factory hostage and passed on the firearms manufacturing technology to the Qing people, and also sent the sailors.

But after Yan Changwu came, the foreigners' ships were not allowed to cross the Yangtze River, and there was no shipwreck gift package.

Kong Youde's rebellion was also killed by Yan Dashao, so he didn't sell one and get one free to the Qing army.

Therefore, the Qing army's technology in manufacturing guns and artillery has never been up to par, for this matter, Tong Yangxing was not less reprimanded by Huang Taiji, he was miserable, so he threw the pot and said that the technical problems were not overcome, and the Qing Dynasty really could not make good firearms, and asked to take advantage of this opportunity to enter the Ming Kingdom to capture Tianjin and capture the personnel of the artillery factory for use.

The Qing army began to act, and the leading figure was Abatai, who successfully broke through from the mouth of the Great Wall and entered the Ming country, which was the fifth time that the soldiers entered, and the north of the Ming country was shaken!

Dolgon led an army of 30,000 to break Jizhou (Jixian County, Tianjin), and the troops went south, approaching Tianjin, the trend was very obvious, and for a time Tianjin was in turmoil.

In Tianjin in the 17th century, outside the north gate was the road to Beijing; Outside the east gate, there is a sea river, and the sunrise on the sea can be seen along the east; Outside the west gate, the green jungle, the flowers and birds are singing, and the cooking smoke is misty; The plain outside the south gate is an endless stretch of rice paddies.

It's an idyllic scene, beautiful and beautiful.

Tianjin, as the center of transportation and commercial transportation in the north, the grain ships in the south of the Yangtze River gather on the busy river, and then there are sea ships anchored on the shore like a forest, and the left battalion horse army of Tianjin Sanwei is stationed in the camp in the area of Dazhigu; Seventy-two flat and tranquil scenes; When the moon is in the sky, the Haihe River is beautiful at night......

However, such a beautiful resort will soon usher in the invasion of arms!

Dolgon has an intelligence source, knowing that the Tianjin prefect is Tian Jianlong, and the chief soldier is Zhou Yuji, he soon knows what these two guys are!

Tian Jianlong, the first year of Chongzhen's Citong Jinshi was born, and rose very quickly, at this time he heard that the Qing army was so big, not only was he not afraid, but he was eager to try.

He discussed military affairs with Zhou Yuji and said: "This battle depends on General Zhou!" ”

Zhou Yuji, Jinzhou Weiren at the end of the Ming Dynasty. According to the Zhou family tree, his original place of origin is Fenghu Mountain, Suining County, Jiangsu, and his original name is Shi Chun. He was brave and good at shooting, and after joining the army, he was extremely brave in the battle with the Later Jin, and was gradually promoted from an ordinary soldier to the Beijing camp guerrilla of the Ming Dynasty army.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen (1636), the Manchurian army attacked Beijing. Zhou Yuji made meritorious contributions to the bloody battle from Shangshu Zhang Fengyi, and even advanced to the second rank, and was the deputy general of the forward battalion. In the winter of next year, from Sun Yingyuan and others to Henan Province, Zhanguangshan and Gushi, all of them will be victorious. Eleven years of class teacher, into the rank.

It was a first-class brave general, and he arched his hand to Tian Jianlong and said: "Lord Tian has already prepared, and our army can win this battle!" ”

"Don't be careless, do your best!" Tian Jianlong said: "I also ask General Zhou to preside over the military order and send the army." ”

"Please!"

"Please!"

The civilian, official and military generals in Tianjin are all concentrated in this room, and the sand table of city defense is placed in the middle of the room!

Tianjin City was built in 1404 during the second year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, this city was long from east to west, and short from north to south like an abacus, so it was called "abacus city". Its circumference is more than nine miles, the city is three zhang and five feet high, and there are four city gates, which are named after the east of the town, Anxi, Dingnan, and Gongbei respectively. The four corners of the city are equipped with four corner towers, and there are four main streets in the east, west, south and north in the city, and the center is the drum tower.

"This official plans to evacuate all the people outside the city, let them leave by sea boat, and go to the southeast province!" Tian Jianlong said.

When he spoke like this, he revealed his true colors, he was from the Southeast Mansion!

As a Ming official, he has rebelled and joined the Southeast Mansion.

"As long as you don't stay away, it will definitely fall into the hands of the Tartars, and you must go as far as possible, and those who can go and those who leave will be given to them!" Tian Jianlong gave a reason in a dignified manner, I am for their good!

"We have prepared food in the city for two years, drilled a lot of wells, and coal, which is enough to fight a protracted war!" Tian Jianlong is quite sure of the authenticity.

"Our army of 5,000 people, 8,000 young people in the city are recruited to join the army, so that the Tartars will not return!"

"Military management is practiced in the city, which is composed of the army and the yamen officers, and it is strictly forbidden to gather without reason in the city." Zhou Yuji said.

"Look, there are barracks set up all over the city gates, and you must not enter unless you have them, so as to prevent the inside and outside of the city from joining together."

"We have prepared a large number of guns and muskets, and they will be bled to death."

"Next, General Ben will make combat deployments, Chen Tai will guard the east gate, Wei Dongyu will guard the west gate, Lan Shihui will guard the north gate, and Guan Dan will guard the south gate, each gate will have 1,000 regular soldiers, 1,500 new soldiers, and the rest will be under the command of General Ben."

"The city implements a armor protection system, one person commits a crime, everyone sits together, and the one who is the first is not guilty and is rewarded!" Zhou Yuji was murderous.

Strict prevention of spies is the quality that a general should have, and he has seen too many examples of fortresses being breached from the inside, how can he not guard against them!

……

When the war came, the first retreat had nothing to do with the personnel, and the government sent people who could speak well to preach everywhere, blowing that Taiwan as if it were a paradise on earth, and the southeast government had been operating in Tianjin for a long time, and the people knew that there would be ready-made grain, farm tools, and cattle as soon as they went, and only a small amount of land was collected, and the officials were not vicious, which was better than being a slave of the Qing people.

The Ming Dynasty's "hukou" management system was strict, and ordinary people were not allowed to move casually, so wouldn't it be good to take this opportunity to get rid of the official errands urged by the imperial court and their own landlords, and go to Taiwan!

Tianjin is a prosperous place, a large number of people moved to Taiwan, a full 100,000 people went to Taiwan, every day large and small ships left Tianjin day and night, transporting people to Taiwan, the surrounding big ships were rented, transporting people south!

When the Tartars arrived, they saw a desolate scene outside the city, and had no choice but to capture the population from farther away and go to Tianjin to fill the ravine.
