Chapter 598: Open Fight and Secret Fight

The ancients did not have chemical fertilizers for farming, and in order to ensure the yield and not degrade the land, several crops had to be intercropped, so the grain was diverse.

The breeding industry in the system is booming, and raising chickens, ducks and geese in the mountainous and hilly areas of the Yanshan Mountains in the west of the Liaoning West Corridor has become the main business of many families, and there are countless professional households raising pigs, sheep, cattle and horses.

A small half of the harvested grain will be converted into poultry eggs, meat, and wine, and after deducting the necessary rations and one million stone reserves, it should be able to export about one million stone of grain.

Not only can it sell grain to stabilize food prices, but it can also sell a large amount of liquor, canned sea fish, poultry eggs and meat, and Daming can definitely reduce the starvation of more than a million people to death.

Huang Han has achieved that he has territory, food, thousands of troops, access to the sea and a strong sailor, and his strength is enough to be proud of the world.

Next, we have to look at the colors of Jiannu in Liaodong and North Korea, and the first goal is to take a foothold on the Korean Peninsula and establish a royal paradise completely controlled by yourself.

It's just that Chongzhen's attitude is unclear, and I am afraid that he may not be able to return to Liaoxi in time to go to Beijing, and Huang Han already has a countermeasure in his heart.

This time, if he was left in the capital after entering Beijing, he had to use tricks to get out, and he would have to learn to be obedient in the future, and he could not enter the capital again and put himself in a dangerous situation.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many generals who did not obey the order, first there was Zu Dashou, then Zuo Liangyu, Wu Sangui, etc., and the emperor had no way to deal with them.

After Huang Han took Korea, the population and territory would expand several times, which was equivalent to having a kingdom independent of the Ming Dynasty.

Some of the Tartars of the outer domains in the Later Jin army led the men and horses back to their own tribe locations, and the Red Gang was still a small 100,000 horses when they returned to Liaodong.

They intended to come to Jinzhou outside the city to show off their might, in order to show goodwill, the red gang ordered everyone not to trample on the wheat fields that were about to be harvested, and those who violated the order were beheaded.

Next, the Jin army set up camp ten miles away from Jinzhou, and the Red Gang sent Wu Xiang to accompany Gao Hongzhong into Jinzhou City to contact Zu Dashou.

Seeing that the Jiannu soldiers were approaching the city, Zu Dashou and Gao Qiqian, who had the intention of surrendering the city, were not nervous at all.

Wu Xiang, who came to meet, thought that the uncle with the demeanor of a general had done Mount Tai collapse in front of him and his color remained unchanged, where did he know that Zu Dashou was actually a dead pig and was not afraid of boiling water.

The arrival of the Houjin army under the city did not surprise Zu Dashou, and the goodbye brother-in-law Wu Xiang was completely unexpected.

Seeing that they had already sat down to drink tea, Zu Dashou hurriedly asked Wu Xiang: "Brother Xian, don't come to Jinzhou, why did you follow Master Gao to Jinzhou?" What about Sanguizi? Is he okay? ”

Wu Xiang sighed and said: "Big brother, it's hard to say in the past two years, Sanguizi and I are fine, and now we are serving as the chief military officer in Dajin Kingdom, with one or two thousand cavalry under our command. ”

Next, Wu Xiang told the original story of what happened in Datong, which caused Zu Dashou to sigh for a long time.

Gao Hongzhong said with a smile: "Zu Taibao, more than half of your ancestral family has worked for me Dajin, and my lord depends on your attitude." ”

Seeing that the brother-in-law who can make the most money has surrendered to Jiannu, Zu Dashou is full of bitterness, and he is afraid that Jinzhou will really have no future, and the unwilling Zu Dashou is stunned.

Wu Xiang didn't know the truth that he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, of course he knew that the ancestral family had really surrendered to the Dajin Kingdom, and the life of the ancestor would definitely be difficult in the future, and it was necessary to be a man with his tail between his legs.

There are a lot of fierce people who can fight in Jiannu, but because their population is too small, they don't have many soldiers in the Eight Banners under their command, and it is impossible to tolerate Zu Dashou, a general who can still fight, has thousands of troops and horses.

Perhaps the damage to the vital interests of other old generals of the Guanning Army after surrendering may not be much, but the leading eldest brother Zu Dashou will definitely become a thing of the past in Jinzhou.

Wu Xiang is not good at fighting, and his ability to analyze interpersonal relationships is one of the best in the old department of the Guanning Army.

He himself didn't want to surrender Jiannu at all, but Cangtian played such a trick that he didn't choose to surrender, and his father and son would die.

He didn't know that his uncle's refusal to surrender was not out of loyalty to Da Ming at all, but for his own vested interests.

He persuaded: "What can be done now, is the eldest brother capable of breaking through the Ningyuan defense line arranged by Huang Han and opening up the road to Shanhaiguan?"

My brother has not walked that road in the past few years, and when I walked through it the year before last, I found that there were no more than 50,000 family teams that could fight hard, and there was no way to break through the layers of the 'Red Flag Army'.

Now that two years have passed, what does it mean for the 'Red Flag Army' to have two more years, do you know it, big brother? ”

Zu Dashou has been in Jinzhou City for the past few years, and he rarely even goes to Songshan, Tashan, and Xingshan, and he doesn't know what the current state of the "Red Flag Army" is, and his thinking has long been outdated.

Zu Dashou has no enterprising spirit, and in history, he has adopted the mode of passive land defense to mix up his life and mix up his salary, and most of the time he is huddled in a luxurious mansion in Jinzhou to live a luxurious and lascivious life.

If there are 30,000 or 50,000 horses under his command, after three years, not only will there be no development, but there will be a few thousand less, not necessarily war damage, illness and desertion will cause attrition.

Seeing that his brother-in-law was speaking solemnly, Zu Dashou asked, "What happened to Liaoxi in the past two years?" ”

"Alas! Several of my shopkeepers often go to the 'Red Banner Army' Laoye Tiger's Den City, and some of my family members have been to Lushunkou and Gaotaibao.

It is said that there are no less than 700,000 people in the western Liaoning corridor, and more than 50,000 guards and villagers participated in the training.

The fortress may be a dead place in the hands of other Ming troops, but the regular soldiers of the 'Red Banner Army' who dare to fight must have doubled in two years, and these horses rely on the castle to fight, and I can't imagine how many men and horses can ensure victory in battle. ”

Hiss! Not only did Zu Dashou feel a toothache, but even Gao Hongzhong gasped when he heard it.

Wu Xiang continued: "The master of the Dajin Kingdom is waiting outside the city to wait for the eldest brother to show his attitude, otherwise he will order the wheat to be cut, Jinzhou has lost the harvest of more than 100,000 mu of wheat fields, and 30,000 or 40,000 horses plus 60,000 or 70,000 family members may not be able to survive the winter!" ”

Gao Hongzhong said with a smile: "The Great Khan is benevolent and righteous, and when he marched, he issued a military order not to trample on the wheat fields, knowing that the ancestral Taibao would rely on these wheat to raise troops and people!"

Those who know the times are Junjie, and the matter has come to this point, our Dajin army only needs to destroy the upcoming harvest outside Jinzhou City and besiege it like fighting for Dalinghe City, and Zu Taibao's men and horses will soon kill each other because there is no food in the city.

The Dajin army can use such a poisonous trick to capture the city, and it does not hesitate to let the people in Jinzhou City die.

But the Great Khan refused to do this, and still calmly persuaded him to surrender, this time he personally waited for news outside the city, so it was enough to stop, the Great Khan had already given Tianda face, and if he didn't give in, he would have no face and no skin. ”
