Unknowingly, more than a year has passed since the recovery of Liaodong, how is Liaodong now?

Liaodong has not changed much this year, except for the line from Guangning to Ningyuan, where you can see a little people, other places are still wild for thousands of miles. It's not that Zhu Cijiong doesn't want to develop Liaodong, but because Jiannu has not been destroyed, the hinterland of Liaodong is not very safe.

After suffering last year's defeat, Jiannu may not dare to organize a large-scale counterattack, but if the hinterland of Liaodong is developed, there is grain everywhere and ordinary people everywhere, and it is impossible for Jiannu not to come to fight the autumn wind. After all, most of Liaodong is a plain, Jiannu from Jianzhou to the hinterland of Liaodong does not have to go to Fushun Pass, from Fushun Pass to Dingliao right guard thousands of miles of area is not dangerous, but the road is not very easy to walk, they want to run out of where they want, grab a handful and run, what can you do?

Therefore, Zhu Cijiong simply gave them a thousand miles in the wilderness, so that they couldn't grab a grain of food, and directly cut off their thoughts. As for the development of Liaodong, it will have to wait until Sun Chengzong takes Jianzhou.

Anyway, it's been more than a year since then, how is Sun Chengzong's 'fortress advancement'?

In fact, Sun Chengzong did not engage in the advance of the fortress a few years ago, because at that time, it was only two months before the heavy snow closed the road, and it was basically difficult to advance from Fushunwei to Jianzhou within two months.

Sun Chengzong's biggest characteristic is 'stability', although he has an army of 400,000 under his command, although Fushun Pass is only 200 miles from Jianzhou, he is not in a hurry, but steady and steady, slowly advancing.

To say that the reason why the Ming army was defeated in Salhu at the beginning, in fact, it was mainly defeated in the terrain near Salhu, because after Fushunwei to the west, it was not a plain terrain, but a hilly terrain, if you are not familiar with this hilly terrain, running in is equivalent to drilling into a labyrinth, everywhere there are mountains and ravines, everywhere are sheep intestine trails, it is not bad to get lost in it, the main general of the Ming army at that time, Yang Hao, actually came to a joint attack, and finally was naturally broken by Nurhachi, who was familiar with the terrain, and fled in defeat.

Sun Chengzong is not Yang Hao, of course he will not do anything to divide and attack, he has stabilized to a certain level, stabilized to a certain realm, hills, mazes, it doesn't matter, dig it directly, he has been preparing for more than half a year, but he is not just waiting there, there are many things to prepare.

For example, the equipment of soldiers, now each soldier not only holds a weapon in his hand, but also carries a hoe on his back, what board hoe, strip hoe, crane beak hoe everything, the army started from Fushun Pass, directly dug up.

He only left the Dingliao army to guard the first line of Guanning, Tieling, and Liaohai, and the rest of the 300,000 troops all gathered near Fushun Pass, and sent men and horses in turn to dig directly to Salhu.

Fushun Pass to Salhu is only thirty or forty miles, and the speed at which the 300,000 army digs the road is terrifying. What a small ravine, fill it up directly; What kind of dense forest and sparse forest, as long as it is in the way, all of them are cut down, and the sheep intestine path that can only accommodate one or two people to pass is dug by them into a broad avenue that can accommodate more than ten or twenty people to move forward side by side!

The so-called fortress advance is naturally not just digging roads, digging about 20 miles, he will move all the army over, and then start to repair the city, not much repair, can accommodate 10,000 or 20,000 people, anyway, now the Ming army muskets, artillery, grenades, mines are all complete, just Jiannu that 100,000 troops, 10,000 people guarding them do not want to break through in a day or two, as long as the road is repaired, the Ming army even if it is from Fushun Pass to Hao Tuala, it will not take a day, if they dare to come to besiege the fortress, directly let them have no return!

In the face of Sun Chengzong's hooligan methods, Huang Taiji directly spurted blood, this blood spray is not an exaggerated rhetorical technique, but a real spray, historical materials record that Huang Taiji had nosebleeds in the later period, and sometimes he had to take a bowl to receive blood while fighting. I don't know when he started this problem in history, but this time he was directly sprayed out by Sun Chengzong.

The reason why he took the initiative to retreat to Jianzhou was to use the terrain of Jianzhou to drag down the Ming army. After the fiasco of Liaodong, he had to admit that now he could no longer defeat the Ming army equipped with new muskets and artillery, whether on the plain or in the city, but it would be difficult to go to Jianzhou, where he started Jurchen.

To tell the truth, in Jianzhou, even if the 600,000 troops of the Ming army rushed over, he was not very afraid, this is not the Liaodong Plain, no matter how much the Ming army comes, it can only be drowned in the vast hills and ravines, as long as the Ming army rushes in, his opportunity will come.

If the Ming army were to attack separately, he would be able to learn from his father Khan Nurhachi and use the familiar terrain to break through individually. It doesn't matter if the Ming army advances in a group, on the winding sheep intestine path in Jianzhou, five or six hundred thousand troops can't be gathered together, and at least a team of hundreds of miles long must be pulled, and at that time, whether it is ambush and harassment or robbing grain after being cut off, it will be enough for the Ming army to have a headache.

Perhaps, if he is lucky, he can reproduce the glory of the Battle of Sarhu, defeat the Ming army in one fell swoop, occupy Liaodong again, and continue to threaten Guannai!

However, now, Sun Chengzong's approach, he can say that he has no chance at all.

How to fight? The 300,000 troops gathered together, they didn't go to the sheep intestine trail at all, they dug the road directly, and when they saw that there was a chance to lengthen the battle line, they moved directly to the group and built a fortress!

Ambush? The mountains are about to be dug up by them, and the trees are also cut down by them, how to ambush!

Sneak attack? The 300,000 army of people is waiting there, looking for death!

Huang Taiji only spurted blood and retreated, and retreated again and again, from Salhu to Jiefan Village, and then from Jiefan Village to Gule Village, and then from Gule Village to Maerdun Village, he couldn't retreat from here, followed by Hao Tuala, and then retreated, the last city of his Houjin, the capital of his Jurchen start, was occupied by the Ming army!

In desperation, Huang Taiji could only take the risk of copying the back road of the Ming army and sneak attack and loot grain.

Will Sun Seung-jong give him a chance? That is naturally impossible, not to mention sending forty or fifty thousand people to transport grain every time, but also full of scouts all around, as soon as Huang Taiji's army approached, the team transporting grain ran directly to the nearest fortress. A fortress every twenty miles, that is to say, the Ming army can run into the nearest fortress in one hour at most, and when he catches up, the people have already taken refuge in the fortress, looking at the dense muskets and artillery on the fortress, Huang Taiji can only obediently retreat.

Seeing that this fortress is about to cultivate Hao Tuala, is Huang Taiji finished like this? Of course not! How could a generation of heroes be so simple and finished, he still has one last trick, but he doesn't want to use it until he has to.

What is the last trick of Huang Taiji? When Sun Chengzong spent half a year of hard work to repair the fortress to the vicinity of Haotuala, and then led 200,000 troops to attack Haotuala, what he saw was not Jiannu's dying face, full of hatred and fear, but a smoking city!

Thirty-six plans to go to the top, Huang Taiji's last trick is to run away, Jianzhou can't stay anymore, hurry up, do you want him to stick to the lonely city, lead the neck to be killed? That's impossible, they're nomads in the first place!

Seeing that nothing could be done, Huang Taiji asked Dolgon and Duoduo to move north with more than a million Jurchen tribesmen, while he bluffed in Hetuara with an army of 100,000. When Sun Chengzong's army gathered 200,000 troops to prepare to attack Hetuala, he directly burned the city, led the army to catch up with the tribesmen who set off first, and led them over the vast hills, bypassing Tielingwei and Liaohaiwei, crossing the Liao River, and running directly to the Mongolian steppe in southern Monan!

When Sun Chengzong sent people to find out their traces, Huang Taiji and his clansmen were about to arrive at the Chahar Department!

After a lot of hard work, he finally repaired the fortress to Hetuala, but he didn't catch a single slave, Sun Chengzong could only look up to the sky and sigh: "Boy, count you running fast!" ”

............

When the news came back to the capital, Zhu Cijiong scolded his mother angrily, these Jiannu are simply shameless, no wonder they have killed less than 200,000 of the Ming Dynasty's Eight Banners with a small tribe of millions of people, this is purely a combination of a group of foxes and wolves, and if you beat it, you will be extremely vicious, and if you can't beat it, you will run away, what can you do about it!

However, they also have an advantage when they run away, that is, the entire Liaodong is now safe, and it can finally be developed.

Liaodong can have tens of millions of acres of fertile land, and has not been affected by the drought, it can be said to be a natural granary, if the management is good, the entire north of the Ming Dynasty will no longer lack grain.

You must know that there has been a severe drought in the northwest for many years, although Zhu Cijiong has moved most of the victims to the surrounding provinces that have not been affected, and has also introduced high-yield crops such as potatoes and sweet potatoes to them, but there is only so much arable land in the surrounding provinces, and the local people can just have food and clothing, but now they have suddenly doubled the population to move in, and they can ensure that their rations are good.

Therefore, in recent years, there has been no surplus of grain in the northern provinces, and Liaodong and Jingshi have gathered nearly a million troops in recent years, where does the grain and grass come from? All shipped from the south!

How terrible is the grain and grass of a million-strong army? It will consume one million stones of grain in a month, nearly 10 million catties of forage, and the Ming Dynasty at that time relied on horse-drawn carriages to transfer grain, people ate horses, and how much grain and grass were transported from the south, how much grain and grass were consumed on the way, that is to say, the transfer cost was more than one million taels a month, if Liaodong could ensure the consumption of military food for a million troops, this freight would be saved, and this alone would be tens of millions of taels a year.

Of course, this population migration does not mean that it can be moved, there is a lot of preparatory work in the early stage, plus Liaodong will be cold and snowy in two months, and there is nothing to do to move people over, Zhu Cijiong simply ordered the northern provinces to count the population and arable land in the past few months, calculate the number of migratory population, prepare migration materials, and wait for the ice and snow in Liaodong to melt in the next year.

Just as Zhu Cijiong was busy arranging the migration of the population, news came from Dongdaying that the first batch of first-class sail battleships had been built, just waiting for him to preside over the ceremony, open the gate and release the water, pull the battleship out of the dock, and sail into the sea!

The battleship has finally been built, now Liaodong has been pacified, the northwest is also under control, and the economic development momentum of Daming is good, so to speak, the Ming Dynasty has woken up, and the next .......

At the end of this volume, what will happen next, and see how the next volume will be broken down.
