The fortress is declining, and the army is in ruins
Just when Luanzhou was fiercely attacked by the Ming army, Amin Belle chose to die rather than save him.
Because he knew that even if he put all the soldiers and horses on it, he would not be able to defeat the Ming army.
After losing Luanzhou, Amin moved all the food and grass supplies of the people in the city to Yongping City.
As for Zunhua, which was a little farther away, he simply chose to give up.
After capturing Luanzhou, Sun Chengzong ordered Zu Dashou and others to continue to march into Yongping, facing the Ming army that was several times his own strength and carried artillery siege equipment, Amin Belle was simply unable to defeat him.
In this case, Amin chose to preserve his strength and abandon the city and flee.
And despite the dissuasion of Shuotuo and others, he ordered the slaughter of the city, and even Bai Yangcui and other Han officials who surrendered to Jin were all executed.
Chongzhen three years, mid-March, Jizhen.
Wang Zezhi captured Xifengkou, Hanerzhuang, Xiong's Nest Head, and Santun Camp, which can be said to be a waste of effort.
Huang Taiji had already withdrawn, Amin Belle fled without a fight, and the enemy guarding these places only had twenty armor soldiers, and Jizhen was abandoned.
When Wang Zezhi arrived in Jizhen, Jizhen was billowing with smoke, and before Amin Belle left, he ordered someone to set fire to Jizhen.
Before the change of Jisi, the Ming Dynasty had just carried out disarmament in Jizhen, many soldiers were laid off, and a large number of soldiers who remained were also resentful, and on March 18 of the second year of Chongzhen (1629), there was a mutiny.
This time, after the poison of the war, the town of Ji has become more and more deserted.
Wang Zezhi symbolically ordered people to send a few good news to the court, and then stationed in Jizhen, ready to standby.
To be honest, he really didn't want to garrison a deserted city like Jizhen.
If he is really allowed to garrison, it means that he will have to spend a lot of manpower, material and financial resources to build.
He didn't want to spend a lot of energy building a city for Chongzhen.
Because repairing the seat requires not only manpower, material and financial resources, but also time.
If Wang Zezhi wants to build Jizhen, it can't be built in two years.
Jizhen, in Wang Zezhi's temporary camp, he looked at a secret report sent by Yu Zhong, and his face was gloomy as water.
According to the secret report, a group of merchants in Xuanfu and Beizhenli began to run on the merchants under Wang Zezhi.
Their power and financial resources are unimaginable.
Wang Zezhi's semicolons to Jiangnan were unsustainable one after another, closed his doors, and returned to Datong Mansion.
The items of various businesses in Datong Mansion were even snapped up.
If it weren't for Wang Zezhi's use of food stamps to restrict the purchase of grain, the grain storage in his palace would have been bought up by these people.
Even so, these people do not give up.
They spent a lot of money to let the people who were qualified to buy grain exchange the cheap grain that Wang Zezhi sold to the people, and constantly hollowed out Wang Zezhi's grain reserves.
In addition, they sent all the subordinates and tenants in their own mansion to Datong Mansion to obtain the identity of Datong Mansion as residents of Datong Mansion to fraudulently receive food.
Now they are all hoarding grain, and when Wang Zezhi's reserve of grain is empty, they will raise prices and sell grain to a sky-high price.
The merchants who joined the Chamber of Commerce also began to be subjected to various runs and attacks.
They were either cut off from the supply of goods, or they were attacked by thieves on the way to transport, and they lost both money and goods.
In Yuci City, there was a merchant surnamed Yang, who came to Datong Mansion with a letter of introduction and asked Wang Zezhi to send some soldiers and horses to protect his granary.
According to him, the teams he sent out to buy food were all attacked by bandits, and all of them never returned, and no one was dead or dead.
Now he only has tens of thousands of stone rice grains stored at home, and recently he found that there are many small people wandering near his house.
He felt like he was going to be hacked.
This person, Wang Zezhi, remembered that he sold 400,000 stone rice grain to Wang Zezhi at a price of one stone, one tael or three yuan, so Wang Zezhi was deeply impressed by him.
After Ah Niu, who was stationed in Datong Mansion, saw Wang Zezhi's private seal in the letter, he sent a platoon of sergeants to protect his family's granary, which was also considered to have fulfilled one of Wang Zezhi's promises.
Even these guys began to spread rumors, saying that Wang Zezhi faked military merits and deceived the emperor of his reward.
His Zhenbei Bo was completely liared.
Their reason is that Wang Zezhi went deep into the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, thousands of miles away, and no one can prove it.
How many enemies were killed and what they did was all up to Wang Ze alone.
No one can know the truth.
When these rumors reached Beijing, Chongzhen was shocked and immediately ordered the spies of the two factories and one guard to go down to collect information.
"Rumors are the most afraid of the facts, and Yu Zhong ordered the captured Amin Belle Daxu and the head of the enemy army pulled back to the capital division to show the emperor.
At the same time, Bai Yu was ordered to report the results of the battle in the "Sanjin Review", focusing on the captured prisoners, cattle and sheep and other trophies.
When Jizhen is over, I want to open the market in Xuanfu.
Ordered to be loyal to blacklist those merchants who attack our business.
After I opened the market, none of these people were allowed to go out, and if I wanted to get out, I had to spend money to enter the white list.
The amount of money spent depends on how much effort they have contributed to this incident.
For the members of the Chamber of Commerce, after the opening of the market, all of them will be exempted from customs fees for one year, which can also be regarded as a compensation for their losses.
As for those who defrauded the grain at a cheap price, they were all arrested for treason against the enemy, and the masters behind them were also arrested and all their homes were confiscated.
If you dare to fight my food, you must be prepared to die. ”
"Order."
Wang Zezhi made arrangements, got out of the temporary tent, came to the burning black, short Jizhen earthen wall, and sighed helplessly.
Such a Ji Town, not to mention Yuan Chonghuan, may not be able to defend it even if it is guarded by Wang Zezhi.
The fortress is declining, and the army is in ruins, these eight words are much more serious than Wang Zezhi imagined.
The walls here are like small mounds of earth, not to mention that you can jump over them on horseback, even if you try a little hard.
No wonder Huang Taiji chose to break in from this position.
Jizhen is an important town in eastern Liaoning, and Xifengkou is an important border pass.
If Wang Zezhi can master this place, it will be much more convenient to seek Liaodong in the future.
If you come to it, you will be safe, and the territory you get in hand can't be handed over.
After careful consideration, Wang Zezhi finally decided to build Jizhen.
After making this decision, Wang Zezhi immediately ordered Wang Xian's engineer battalion to act.
At the same time, he ordered new business projects and began to invite tenders.
This tender is different from the past, and only businessmen with high qualifications who have completed the corresponding projects can do it.
Those with low qualifications, those who have received projects that are not well completed, or those whose quality is not up to par cannot be accepted.
The stakes are too high for Jizhen to be missed.
Wang Zezhi looked at the mighty grain convoy outside Jizhen, and he felt that the time had come to grow grain.
As soon as he thought of it, he immediately sent a message from the eagle and ordered Wang Flash to take action and plant all the food he could grow.
He doesn't grow food yet, and when he doesn't have anything to eat, he will be numb by then.
After giving these orders, Wang Zezhi could not be idle.
After all, he brought 20,000 soldiers and horses to Jizhen, and Wang Zezhi chose 10,000 soldiers and horses to start working.
He wants to simply transform Jizhen first, at least to be able to resist the enemy.
