Chapter 136: Huishi
On 14 April, Huang Han led more than 6,000 soldiers and civilians to camp outside the south gate of Fengrun.
More than 4,000 Sichuan troops under the Sichuan commander-in-chief Deng Xi also arrived yesterday, and that night Huang Yizhou led 300 infantry who had stayed in the shelter and 100 cavalry who had returned from their wounds also arrived to join the division.
It was Zheng Guochang who thought that there were too many opportunities to make contributions in the battle to recover the lost land, and of course he couldn't forget Zheng Xiaowen's father-in-law, so he sent someone to transfer the Huangyi Prefecture to participate in the war.
During this time, the blacksmiths in the mountain shelter behind Jiulitai Village were in full swing.
Not only did they repair a large number of iron armor, but they also carefully built 70 good guns and 30 pairs of iron armor, so that the 100 cavalry who returned from wounded troops had iron armor, and the 300 infantry had cotton armor or leather armor.
Now the main commander who remains in the shelter is Huang Yong, who still has more than 400 unarmored infantry there.
Zheng Guochang saw the Huang family's father and son again, and behaved very kindly, and at the reception dinner, he told everyone that when the seven thousand white-pole soldiers led by Mrs. Qin Liangyu arrived, the whole army would immediately point to Yongping Mansion City, and he hoped that all the generals would compete for the first place.
He also reminded everyone that since the Hongyi cannons of the imperial court were all centrally allocated to Inspector Sun, the only way to attack Yongping Mansion was to adopt the stupid method of attacking the city with heavy casualties.
If his men and horses are unable to take Yongping due to the lack of artillery, they can only wait for Inspector Sun to recover Luanzhou and bring Hongyi artillery to attack together.
Having said that, Huang Han's father and son still heard from Zheng Guochang's words that they were unwilling, Zheng Guochang's passers-by are not the main attackers, and it is natural that although he is also a high-ranking power, it is obviously not enough to take Sun Chengzong, the emperor.
Therefore, Zheng Guochang thought that he could take Yongping independently, and he blew the wind at the dinner to see if he could break through Yongping City without artillery.
History has turned a small corner, but the general direction is still the same.
Sun Chengzong launched the four-city reconquest war or adopted a step-by-step method of fighting that did not seek merit but sought no fault, and the main force still chose Luanzhou as the attack point, and the Hongyi cannon was still deployed under Luanzhou City, and it should still be on the way now.
Huang Han was not at all worried about the need for ants to attack the city, because the historical Amin did not defend the city of Yongping Mansion at all.
When he heard the news that Luanzhou was lost, he began a crazy massacre, and even demoted officials did not let go, and after killing, robbing, and burning it all, he left the city full of corpses and a sea of fire, and Yongping Fucheng, which took the looted gold and silver treasures and ran north.
At this time, it was only the middle of April, and Amin's kid should still be on the way to Yongping, he only came to Yongping Mansion in early May, who knew that he was surrounded by the Ming army on all sides before he could breathe, and the four big cities he took over were all facing the attack of the Ming army with absolute superiority in troops.
Amin realized that this entry was a big pit, where was he willing to stay here and fight with the Ming army, and resolutely implemented the three-light policy and ran away.
The Red Gang was furious when he saw Amin who had fled from the massacre, and summoned all the Baylors to discuss Amin's crimes. In addition to the loss of the four castles in Kannai, there are also other crimes such as having different aspirations and seeking independence in North Korea.
Later, the Jin Ting discussed Amin's capital crime, and the red gangster was pretended to show mercy and changed the sentence to solitary confinement, leaving only six Amin Zhuangzi, two gardens, and 20 slaves to Amin for the elderly.
The rest of the property was not touched, and all of it was given to the loyal Zilharang.
This is the brilliance of the Red Gang as a conspirator, taking down Amin, one of the four major Baylors, and removing a big confidant, he himself does not divide the positive blue flag, nor does he let his son Hauge get involved.
He gave these benefits to Zilharang, who had made great achievements in the war and was extremely loyal to him, and this disposition seemed fair, so he naturally blocked Youyou's mouth, and from then on there was one less place in the main hall of the council.
Judging from historical records, Zheng Guochang and his team will not encounter a fierce battle to recapture Yongping Mansion City, but the possibility of receiving a ruin and a dead city is infinite.
Huang Han was thinking about how to avoid the doom of Yongping being slaughtered, which had to choose the right time to attack, the time would be early and he would face a tough battle, which would lead to the "Red Flag Army" having to join the siege of the city, and the time was too late to get an empty city that was completely destroyed.
The "Red Banner Army" now has more than 6,000 soldiers and civilians, and with the 400 people brought by Huangyi Prefecture, it has exceeded 6,500.
Only a small half of them were soldiers, and the war was about to start, and the more than 4,000 military servants and ordinary people could not all take them to the war, so they had to find a place to settle properly.
Don't even think about going to Jiulitai Village, which is close to Yongping Mansion City and has no danger to defend and no large number of houses, how to settle more than 4,000 people?
In addition to the villagers of Jiulitai Village, there are also the families of the soldiers of the "Red Banner Army", the total number of people has reached two or three thousand, and the shelter has long been full of capacity, and it cannot accommodate these many people.
Huang Han was not ready to sit back and wait for Qin Liangyu to bring his troops to Fengrun County to converge, he asked Zheng Guochang to ask for some autonomy to be given to the "Red Banner Army", not for anything else, but to flexibly control the fighter plane, and choose the right time to attack the Jin army after the victory.
The "Red Banner Army" has made many meritorious achievements, and Huang Han's command ability has been recognized by many people.
Zheng Guochang, of course, would not hinder the flexibility of Huang Han's command, and he made a high-profile statement in front of Deng Xi, the chief military officer of Sichuan, and Zhou Zongwu, the general of Fengrun's garrison, that the "Red Flag Army" could attack freely, and there was no need to ask for orders from the generals every time.
Zheng Guochang especially valued Huang Han during this time, he knew that today's Ming Dynasty was troubled internally and externally, and only with elite soldiers and fierce generals could he turn the tide.
Seeing that Zheng Xiaowen has only followed the "Red Flag Army" for a few months, it is like a different person, and his face already has a little tenacity and fortitude, he believes that he has his own connections, and then there are real merits of the "Red Flag Army", and he wants to promote the younger generations to be captured.
He even thought about it, preparing to wait for the rumors of the death of Zhang Fengqi's son, the prefect of Luanzhou, whether he could marry his daughter Zheng Xiu'e to Huang Han.
Huang Han, who was resting at Fengrun Post House at night, was also visited, it was Guo Bichang and Gao Youmou, the grandmasters of Fengrun County, and these two were more humble when they saw Huang Han again.
It was not because Huang Han was promoted again, but because they inquired about the relationship between Zheng Guochang, one of the highest magistrates in Beizhili, and the Huang family's father and son, and also learned that Liu Zhilun, the newly appointed governor of Shuntian, especially admired Huang Han as a confidant.
They realized that this young man who could write and martial arts had a bright future, and of course they wanted to bother and deepen their impression.
Old acquaintances, Huang Han talked to them very enthusiastically about the current situation, and patted his chest and promised that the Jin army would be wiped out or driven out of the customs by the end of May at the latest.
Being hung and beaten by Jiannu, there are indeed many people who are inevitably discouraged and disappointed in the Ming court, Guo Bichang and Gao Youmou saw that the generals who personally led the troops to fight and made many meritorious contributions were so confident and relieved.
