Chapter 748: Ning Yuan (Page 1/1)

The seaside of Juehua Island is only more than 20 miles away from Ningyuan City, and it is the transit place of the grain and grass outside the entire Guanwai. The grain and grass transported from the sea have to pass through Juehua Island to make it to various places, so a large number of ships are berthed here all year round.

Even on a cold winter day, there are more than 2,000 ships on the outskirts of Kyaw Hoa Island. Although it is frozen by the sea ice, you can see that it is usually busy.

In one of the largest rooms on the island, there is a mourning hall, and a young man kneels before the mourning guests. The young man was sturdy, and he was propped up by him in a white filial piety robe.

After all the guests had left, a middle-aged man with gray temples came to the young man and said, "Childe! Jiannu is about to call, let's return early with the master's coffin! If you are blocked on the island by Jiannu, it will be too late to leave! ”

The young man stubbornly shook his head and said, "Uncle Liang! My Jin family has been loyal for generations, and my father died on Juehua Island. Now that it is a time of national crisis, how can I, as a martial artist, retreat from the difficulty? You don't need to persuade me anymore, I won't leave Juehua Island at this time! ”

The middle-aged man didn't continue to speak, shook his head and retreated. To be honest, he really doesn't think about Juehua Island, if it is in normal times, Jiannu doesn't dare to fight the idea here.

The vast sea is the burial place of Jiannu, and these Jurchens have powerful butts and can ride horses. But they are all landlubbers, and when they arrive on the boat, they can't show a single or two martial arts, and they are only left to be slaughtered.

But now it's the coldest time of the year. From the land to Juehua Island, the sea has been frozen with thick ice, not to mention people, even war horses can gallop like flying.

With the 7,000 sailors on Juehua Island, it is a dish to meet the Jurchen armor soldiers. Don't say that tens of thousands of Jiannu came, even if there were more than 1,000 Jiannu who came, Juehua Island would be slaughtered by others.

But no one can persuade the young master of his own temper, if he really can't bring the three hundred family members he brings, he will take the young master out of Juehua Island desperately, and he can't let the adults die!

The young man dressed in filial piety clothes walked out of the mourning hall and went straight to the sea, where nearly a thousand people were busy. One by one, they worked the surface of the sea, chiseling through pieces of sea ice and throwing them aside.

It was not a man's job to dig ice on the surface of the sea where the north wind was howling, and the people and soldiers took turns to fight, but after less than an hour they froze their lips purple.

At this time, it is necessary to replace a group of people to continue to work, and the replaced people quickly roast on the fire that has been lit on the side. Although it was cold, there were no complaints. Everyone is working hard with their heads down, and they don't need to be reminded at all.

"Out of the water!" I don't know who shouted, everyone picked up their tools and ran in the direction where the sound came from. I saw that in the wide ice trench that was hewn out, a blue sea water surged and gradually filled the ice trench.

The soldiers and civilians who participated in the ice digging cheered happily, and smiles appeared on their faces. Looking at the ice trench filled with seawater, some of them shed tears of excitement.

Their days of hard work paid off, and they finally chiseled through the damn sea ice. With the barrier of the sea, there is no longer any need to fear the threat of Jiannu.

The fear caused by the pressure of the Jiannu soldiers on the island for many days was swept away, and many people were invited to the restaurant to celebrate. The young man in the crowd wearing filial piety clothes also looked happy and said happily: "Uncle Liang! You see! Man is determined to win the day, Lord Yuan is really calculating, and he can come up with the idea of chiseling the sea ice! ”

The middle-aged man was not as optimistic as the young man, he looked up at the hazy sky, and said lightly: "Maybe! Let's hope it doesn't get cold! ”

At this time, another group of generals came up, and they came to the young man and saluted: "Young general! It's great that you can stay, and you will have no worries in Juehua Island! ”

The young man listened to the compliments of the generals, and he was a little fluttering. He clasped his hands into fists and thanked the generals again and again, and said politely: "Uncles and brothers! The little nephew Jin Shilin did not lead three hundred families to pick up his father's coffin and return to his hometown, and he would naturally not be left behind when he met Jiannu, if there was any dispatch in the future, I would never shirk what Jin Shilin could do! ”

His words attracted the applause of all the generals, and they all praised Jin Shilin loudly. He also said that he would unite closely around the major general and obey the command of the major general.

But Uncle Liang, who was following Jin Shilin, had a wry smile on his face, his young master was cheated by this group of veterans. Even those thousands of sailors have boats, but they are not as effective as their 300 families when they go ashore.

The young master of his own family was fooled by a few good words from this group of veterans, and he couldn't find the north, and then once there was a vicious battle on Juehua Island, it didn't matter if all the three hundred of them were lost, but if the young master had any mistakes, how could he be worthy of the Jin family!

The soldiers and civilians on Juehua Island were happy for a few days, and the chiseled sea ice was frozen again. This time, the frozen sea ice is much higher than the original ice surface, and it is even more difficult to chisel through it than the last time.

Everyone came to ask Jin Shilin to come up with ideas, but Jin Shilin, a young man who has not been deeply involved in the world, has the idea of bullshit, and there is only one way to work hard to chisel the ice.

Although they sprinkled salt into the chiseled sea ice this time, it was of little use. It's just one more day than last time, and the soldiers and civilians on Kyaw Hwa Island have been stuck in a cycle of ice digging ever since.

……

The Jurchens broke more than ten forts along the way, and the harvest was so abundant that all the Jurchens were so happy that they would wake up laughing when they slept. The only thing that displeased them was that not many Han Chinese slaves were caught.

It would be perfect to harvest a large number of people, but things are always so unsatisfactory. It is very satisfying to get a large amount of food and the belongings left behind by the Han people when they hurriedly evacuated, and what kind of bicycles do you need!

They went all the way south and finally met the Ming army in Ningyuan, and Yuan Chonghuan guarded the four city gates in the east, west, south and north with Man Gui, Zuo Fu, Zu Dashou and Zhu Mei respectively.

And asked Jin Qiliang to mobilize the young people of the whole city to participate in the defense of the city, and also sent troops to the vanguard and Shanhaiguan to deliver a letter, telling the guards there that as long as they found the defenders who had withdrawn from Ningyuan, including himself, they would be killed immediately!

A series of orders were passed down, and the entire Ningyuan City moved like a huge war machine. Everyone has their own duties, preparing the defense equipment to deal with the siege of Jiannu. The Jurchen army that surrounded Ning Yuan did not rush to attack the city, but immediately set up a large camp and made preparations for a long-term siege.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, the Jurchens formed a formation under the city for the first time, and Nurhachi personally pressed the elite soldiers of the Eight Banners, and sent someone to shoot the letter of persuasion into the city, so that Yuan Chonghuan could open the city and surrender!
