Chapter 705: Rebuilding Quang Ninh
The news of the fall of Quang Ninh reached the Liao River two days later, the barracks of Manchu reinforcements.
Jierharang and Aobai, who were attacking the military fort by grinding foreign workers, received the military information that Azig had suffered a crushing defeat in Quang Ninh and that the Zhengbai Flag was almost wiped out.
Now that the city of Quang Ninh in western Liaoning has fallen, their support army has lost its pre-war military purpose. As soon as the two discussed, the battle of Liaohe, although it failed to break through the two military forts, it also severely damaged the troops of Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui, and immediately stopped the attack on the two military forts. After resting for a day, the two led their army across the Liao River and returned to Shengjing to pay tribute to Dolgon.
In the battle of the Liaohe River, although Jierharang and Aobai were perfunctory and did not attack the military fort with all their might, the attack power of the Manchu Tartars should not be underestimated. Zhou Yuji's march to defend the city lost 3,000, and Wu Sangui's Guanning army lost 2,000. And Zilharang, the Aobai Division, together together, lost one or two thousand in battle.
Fang Yuan received the military report of the Battle of Liaohe, and the Ming army, which did not have the participation of the Xuanjia Army, still maintained its consistent record against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the battle to defend the city only played a battle loss ratio of four to one, ending in a big defeat. If it is replaced by a field battle, it will inevitably be another great rout.
With the same source of troops and the same equipment, in the hands of Fang Yuan, he can win a big victory, but in the hands of Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui, he is far from being able to give full play to the bloody nature that the Han people should have. Just like the same Chinese, in the hands of the Communist Party and in the hands of the Kuomintang, the combat power is simply worlds apart.
The fundamental reason is not in the physique, not in the armament, but in the will to fight!
The Ming army under the command of Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui had long been afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and in the face of the Tartar soldiers, their momentum was a little weaker, and they did not dare to attack the Manchu Tartars head-on.
It seems that after the war, there is really no need to retain the separate establishment of the Jin Army and the Guanning Army. It is necessary to incorporate the Jin Army and the Guanning Army into the establishment of the original Xuanjia Army, so as to give full play to the real combat power of these tens of thousands of troops.
Fang Yuan successfully recovered Liaoxi, so he ordered the Tancai to go to the battlefield of Liaodong to give an order, Zhao Quanzhong, the soldiers and horses of the Korean State no longer had to fight with the Tartar soldiers, and retreated to the Korean State by sea and land respectively.
The inventory of the results of the two roads also spread to Quang Ninh, Fang Yuan's military tent.
Zhao Quanzhong's Ming army and Duoduo fought three battles on the Jinzhou front, losing three or four thousand soldiers and horses each. The previous Xuanjia Iron Cavalry basically maintained the combat power equal to that of the Manchu Eight Banners, and it was an undefeated battle.
In the face of the attack of Yue Le's department, the Korean state had a lot of pockets. He did not dare to fight against the Manchus alone, but withdrew while fighting, and withdrew all the way across the Yalu River. Because the two sides did not go head-to-head, the Korean state lost only one or two thousand people. And Yue Le's department lost three or four hundred.
At this point, the two battlefields of western Liaoning and eastern Liaoning have all died down.
Ten days later, after a heavy rain, the wind and rain washed away the poisonous smoke in Guangning City, Fang Yuan led the army into Guangning City and began to clean up the battlefield.
At this time, the city of Quang Ninh has been burned to a ruin, and the city is full of corpses, and there is a foul smell of corpses everywhere. Fang Yuan ordered the people of Liaoxi who had surrendered to the Ming army to enter the city to clean up the battlefield, while the Ming army was still stationed in the barracks outside the city.
After the war, Quang Ninh City was already dilapidated, unable to garrison troops and unable to live in. Fang Yuan could only order the whole army to participate in the reconstruction of Quang Ninh City.
According to Fang Yuan's plan for Guangning City, Guangning City is to control the Mongolian Horqin, Karaqin, and Chahar tribes, and it is also a strategic place to contain the Jurchens in Liaodong, and at least build a large city that can garrison 50,000 cavalry, 50,000 foot soldiers, and more than 100,000 people.
According to the previous scale of Guangning City, at most more than 100,000 people could be stationed, which was obviously not enough to garrison such a huge army and people.
In the reconstruction plan of Quang Ninh City in Fangyuan, it is not only necessary to rebuild, but also to greatly expand.
After the expansion, Quang Ninh City is divided into two parts: the inner city and the outer city.
The city wall of the original Quang Ninh City was used as the inner city wall, and the inner city was used for garrisons; During the siege of Guangning before, the trench dug by the Ming army one mile away was used as the ready-made outer city base. Between the inner and outer walls is the residential area of Quang Ninh City.
As a result, the urban area of Quang Ninh City has more than doubled.
The people's power to rebuild Guangning City is ready-made, that is, 40,000 or 50,000 Han people in western Liaoxi who returned to the Ming Dynasty. Fang Yuan promised these Han people that during the reconstruction of Guangning City, the imperial court would provide shelter and food, and support the construction equipment for repairing the city, and they would participate in the reconstruction. The children who accompanied them were all arranged in the barracks and taken care of by the Ming army.
After the reconstruction of Quang Ninh City, Fang Yuan promised to allocate houses of different sizes as shelter free of charge according to the number of people. The fertile land around Quang Ninh City, five acres per person, provided by the imperial court, ploughed cattle, and no taxes were paid for two years.
The stones and timber needed for reconstruction were ready-made, and they could be collected on the spot by rivers and mountains and forests for the construction of cities.
Fang Yuan's policy was very generous, and these people who had left their homeland had already become slaves of the Manchu Tartars, and what awaited them was a day of hard labor.
Now that the People's Liberation Army of the Ming Dynasty is here, they not only escaped death, but also provided them with food and shelter, and even returned their freedom. Moreover, after the completion of Quang Ninh City, you can also allocate housing for free and own your own land.
For them, it's like pie falling from the sky.
Fang Yuan's kindness is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea, where will these people refuse? I also work very hard and diligently. Because Quang Ninh City is their new home, the sooner it is built, the sooner they will live the life of a normal farmer.
The other party originally said that this was just an empty glove white wolf, except for the need to pay for some food needed by the people, all the houses and fields were obtained from Quang Ninh City for nothing. It's about achieving the greatest goal at the lowest cost.
The city of Guangning was being rebuilt in full swing, and Fang Yuan ordered Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui to continue to be stationed in the two military forts on the Liao River as the first line of warning against a sudden attack by the Manchus.
Because before the successful reconstruction of Guangning City, the Manchu Qing Dynasty may come to attack at any time, and the Ming army led by Fang Yuan must not leave Guangning City and always serve as a guard.
Coupled with the consumption of military food by Zhou Yuji and Wu Sangui, the 80,000 stone military rations brought by the previous expedition were already stretched.
Fang Yuan also ordered all the grain stocks in Gyeonggi to be transported to Liaoxi for use in the war. The grain was then transported from the granary in Jiangnan to Gyeonggi to fill the vacancy, and the problem of military ration supply was solved through the method of sectional supply.
At the same time, Fang Yuan sent two letters to Sheng Jing.
One was addressed to the Manchu Emperor Dolgon, and the letter was a lengthy ridicule of Dolgon's defeat in the Battle of Liaoxi. The purpose of this letter was to provoke Dorgon, who was seriously ill in bed, to make him chaotic and make a fool of himself.
One is to give Huang Taiji's little cub Fulin, as well as Sony's group of former Huang Taiji's descendants of Zhenghuang and Huang's two banners. The content is willing to help the Emperor Taiji and his family set things right and regain the lost throne. After the deed was completed, the two sides took the Liao River as the line and did not invade each other.
This letter, of course, was intended to sow discord and provoke infighting among the Manchus.
What Fang Yuan was most worried about at the moment was whether Dolgon, a gambler, would lose in Guangning, and in a desperate gamble, he would come out to compete for Guangning and directly stud with Fang Yuan. After the great battle, the Ming army in Quang Ninh suffered a lot of losses. If the Manchu Qing Dynasty took advantage of the weakest time of the Ming army to come and fight hard, this expedition was really in danger of collapse, at least the chance of victory would not exceed fifty percent.
Fang Yuan's only way was to continue to fool the Manchus, and slowly concoct the Manchus by boiling frogs in warm water.
As for the Liaohe River between the two sides, it is just a flicker of negotiations. If Sony and the others really believe that they will not invade each other until one party completely submits, they are real fools.
