Chapter 844: Siege of Jinzhou

Tsushima has silver and lead mines, and the nearby fishery resources are abundant, and mining and fishing will be vigorously developed here.

There are too many things to do, and I believe that he will be able to govern this place into a rich paradise if he spends his excess energy on governance.

Chen Mingyu was appointed as the county magistrate of Wudao County, and part-time made the general manager and Feng Houdun the commander of Pinghu County, and part-time as the commander of the military of the guard.

Regardless of other civilian, official and military generals for the time being, the four people who have been proven by history to be Yan Yingyuan, Zhang Pu, Chen Mingyu, and Feng Houdun are not idle people, and they will definitely be able to make a difference in Jeju Prefecture with the backing of the powerful "Red Banner Army" system.

Seeing that it was August, more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians worked hard to sweat for about half a year, and the Chifeng Acropolis and all the small and medium-sized bastions had completed the main building.

As a result of the arrival of a large number of prisoners in re-education through labor, the mining of iron ore and coal mines has taken shape, and as many as 40,000 young and middle-aged people are engaged in the mining industry, of whom 80 percent have come to labor reform.

Not only free people bring their families with their families, but also homeless people who have been sentenced to three to ten years of labor reform, and basically bring their families with them.

The reason is very simple, before being captured by the "Red Banner Army", these people were reduced to exiles and outcasts because they lost their land and food.

Young and middle-aged men are the support of the family, even if the young and middle-aged men in the family are sentenced to exile and conscription into the army, the young family is willing to follow.

In addition, the "Red Banner Army" magistrates also supported the prisoners in carrying their families and promised that not a single ordinary person would starve to death, clearly pointing out that the prisoners' families were also ordinary people and belonged to the weak people protected by the "Red Banner Army."

The family members of the rogues who are facing the fate of starvation or death at any time can survive even if they are lucky, there are not many paths to choose from, and it is enough to get the promise that they will not starve to death, and no one cares where they go.

Although it is very hard to work in Chifengwei, it is much better than not being able to get food and clothing in the countryside at home, at least the most basic food and clothing are enough to do.

The prisoners are organized to study for half an hour every day, which is not brainwashing and education, but basically clarifies their rights and obligations plus literacy.

The initial uneasiness of these people gradually stabilized their emotions, and they worked hard to get their sentences commuted and became free workers for monthly wages, which became the pursuit of the vast majority of labor reform prisoners.

A large amount of iron ore will be processed into pig iron at the ironworks of the Chifeng Acropolis and shipped out, and the whole process requires thousands of laborers, and it takes no less than 5,000 strong laborers to crush the iron ore alone.

The city and fortress have been preliminarily completed, but the housing construction has not yet started, and the soldiers and civilians are still crowded in the yurt, and there are so many houses that need to be built.

The amount of labor required to burn and burn cement is also huge, and those who have carpenters, plasterers, and blacksmiths are allowed to return to their old jobs.

There are many young and middle-aged laborers who have worked hard and sweated profusely, which has directly led to the development of the tertiary industry.

After all, there are about 20,000 garrisons in Chifengwei to the Ningyuan defense line, and there are tens of thousands of free workers who are paid wages and have a high monthly salary, so the demand for consumption is so great.

The families of workers, soldiers, and prisoners of re-education through labor can not only grow grain, vegetables, melons and fruits, but also raise chickens, ducks and geese, herd sheep, and feed pigs.

Sewing and mending, opening a snack bar, going to work in quilt factories, wine workshops, sauce and vinegar workshops, brick kilns, ceramic kilns and other industries, women can also reach half the sky.

It is estimated that by next autumn, the Chifeng Acropolis will develop into a prosperous resource-based city, and the economic circle can radiate 300 miles around.

Yang Danian's reinforced battalion remained behind to guard the Chifeng Guard, and one battalion of B and six thousand households of the general guard army were under his command, and there were no less than 5,000 village warriors who practiced every three days, and their task was to ensure that anyone who approached the line of defense was intercepted.

Many Mongols who had experienced the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry led by Hauge were treated as regular soldiers, and many young academics became cavalry soldiers, bringing the number of the "Red Banner Army" to 15 battalions and six reinforced battalions.

After eight months of training and actual combat, the number of people able to fight on horseback has increased to 90 percent.

This means that when the cavalry was used intensively in Liaodong, the cavalry of the regular army of the "Red Banner Army" was as high as 36,000, although this number did not have an overwhelming advantage over the Qing army, but the formation of a rush was enough for Jiannu to drink a pot.

The Qing army did not have the self-confidence to hold Jinzhou, and it was impossible for the Red Gangsters, who were well versed in the art of war, to disperse the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry so that the "Red Banner Army" could be defeated individually.

In May, the Haoge regiment that returned to Jinzhou was stationed for less than a month before Chongde was transferred back to Shengjing, and now the vast majority of the guards in Jinzhou are Han troops, and there are 10,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry led by Du Du in the east of Jinzhou.

Shortening the supply line and concentrating the elite in Shengjing City for a decisive battle is the established strategy of the slave chief, and his determination is not easy to be shaken.

As for how much of a role the Han army can play, the Red Gangsters have also considered it, and now they are focusing on training more than 20,000 people from the Wuzhen Chaoha Battalion stationed outside Shengjing City.

The more than 20,000 Han troops were selected from the hundreds of thousands of Han troops, all of whom were gunners and gunners, and Chongde not only gave them relatively high treatment compared to other Han troops, but also took care of their families.

Whether Jinzhou can hold on, how long Zu Dashou can last, Chongde has no bottom in his heart, and the task of the small number of Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry left in Jinzhou City is to supervise the battle, and strive to consume more of the "Red Banner Army" during the battle for the city.

On 1 August, when Liaodong was about to harvest in autumn, the battle to recover Jinzhou officially began.

Subtracting the number of cavalry necessary to defend Chifeng Wei and Ningyuan, the 28,000 cavalry used in a concentrated manner were led by Hanzi, Wang Zhicheng, Sang Yu, etc., who went straight to the Dudu military camp in the east of Jinzhou.

At the same time, the infantry and artillery siege corps began to deploy the siege of Jinzhou City from four directions, and there were no less than 40,000 Han Goryeo servant troops in Jinzhou City, and the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry should be less than 3,000.

The general praise painting department did not expect to get the opportunity to encircle the point and send reinforcements, because according to intelligence analysis, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Song Pengfei and other senior staff members had forced the Qing army to take the defensive position and did not have the possibility of sending a large army to Jinzhou City for a decisive battle.

As it turned out, Du Du had already received the order that Chongde could not fight with the "Red Banner Army" on the outskirts of Jinzhou, and when he found that the cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" was overwhelming, he immediately led his men and horses to abandon the camp and run east.

The cavalry corps led by Hanzi and others pursued for a hundred miles before receiving.

Because Zu Dashou, the chief general of Jinzhou, had lost his soul like a walking corpse, drank and bought drunk all day long, and did not send troops out of the city to attack and harass at all, the "Red Banner Army" arranged the encirclement quite smoothly.

Half a month after the completion of the back line, to achieve the effect of encircling Jinzhou.
