Chapter 555: Asking the Blind Question

It's not so easy for Jiannu to give up attacking Jinzhou and retreat!

Although the red gang was badly damaged by Huang Shengyin a few times, he still patiently waited for the decisive battle with the Ming army led by Huang Sheng under the city of Jinzhou, but he was thanked for the flowers, and the Ming army still did not move.

When the Red Gangster completed the deployment of the siege of Jinzhou, he had already sent people many times to persuade him to surrender and enter the city for a psychological battle, and a group of captured generals such as Jiang Xin, the former Guanning staff general, Zhou Hongmo, the Yongping garrison, Yang Huazheng, Xue Dahu, and so on all wrote letters to persuade them to surrender.

These generals who have become slaves are still targeted, and the letters they shoot into the city all indicate that so-and-so is personally enlightened, and often the Jinzhou guards they contact are acquaintances.

Fortunately, Tang Daoheng is a professional who has been engaged in espionage for several years, and he has a set of how to prevent the rebellion of the Houjin army, so he asked the supervising army Lu Zhi and the chief general He Kegang to convene a meeting of all the civilian and military generals to clarify the discipline of defending the city.

He Kegang took the lead in denying contact with the Houjin army by setting an example, and in the spirit of not making peace, not seeing the Houjin army coming, and not opening any letters from outside the city, he demanded that the civil and military forces stationed in Jinzhou must do the same.

If any of the people who privately opened the letters of the Houjin Army, regardless of whether the content of the letter was important or not, the demolitionists were immediately arrested and imprisoned, and they could not regain their freedom until the siege of Jinzhou was lifted.

All the civil and military forces in Jinzhou promised not to have private contact with the Later Jin Army, and unanimously agreed to supervise each other, and each official would be accompanied by two eunuchs or the family members of the chief military officer when carrying out tasks that might come into contact with the Later Jin Army face-to-face.

Such an arrangement can be said to be at your disposal, and Lao Tzu asked you to ask the blind. It can also be explained that you have a good plan, I have a wall ladder.

Tang Daoheng was very busy, and every day he would arrange manpower to observe the movement of Jiannu on the four city walls, and when he found that the Jin army had left the camp to Jinzhou, he arranged manpower to prepare to shoot black guns, so that the red gangsters would have to pay a bloody cost if they were persuaded to surrender.

In the end, the messenger of the Jin army was beaten and well-behaved, and chose to shoot letters into the city in the middle of the night, which really reduced casualties, and letters continued to fall into Jinzhou City.

Tang Daoheng didn't know how many people in Jinzhou were shaken in their minds, but he assured that none of the dozens of people in the Huang family would ever think of surrendering.

Tang Daoheng is an orphan of Juehua Island, his father and brother both died in the massacre of the Later Jin Army, he was only thirteen years old that year, and he was fortunate to follow his mother to Huangjiashan Island to survive.

Even if he is the only one left in the battle to defend Jinzhou, he will not hesitate to face the Jiannu shot, he will not be shot by Jiannu in the back like his father and brother and die, he promises to pull at least five Jiannu on his back before he dies.

Tang Daoheng, who fought to the death in Jinzhou until he died in battle, would be killed mercilessly if he found that Jinzhou's civil and military forces had taken measures to surrender to the enemy, even if Lu Zhi and He Kegang were ready to surrender, Tang Daoheng would not follow the crowd and still kill without mercy.

Tang Daoheng has been in Jinzhou for a few months, and now he has a full 2,000 people on hand who train every day, and the combat skills of these people are improving every day.

Therefore, he has his own weapons to use, and there will be dozens of flintlock rifled guns volleys of the Huang family's private soldiers to carry out decapitation operations, and it should be no problem to kill the rebels.

In just a few months, as many as 100 letters were written by the Houjin army into Jinzhou City, and each letter was not opened, and now all of them are piled up on the desk of the prison army Lu Zhi.

The red gangster is destined to work in vain with a gang of traitors.

The weather is getting colder and colder, and a few braziers are lit in the tall Houjin Zhongjun cowhide tent and still don't feel too much heat, and the red guy is sitting in front of the bookcase and reading a few books.

Fan Wencheng leaned over and said flatteringly: "Great Khan, the minister sorted out the report from the Ming Kingdom today, and I feel that some news should be returned to the Great Khan." ”

The red guy raised his head and said with a pleasant face: "Oh? Mr. Fan, please speak. ”

"The Emperor of the Ming State canonized Huang Sheng as the Duke of Nanguo, and promised that he could be given the title of county king before he led his troops out of the customs."

This is something that happened not long after the Ming Dynasty, and the news has actually reached Houjin, which shows that Houjin's spies are pervasive.

They constantly reported the movements of the Ming court to Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian, two traitors. The two traitors were screened and immediately reported the information they thought was useful to the red gangsters.

Seeing that the red guy didn't raise his eyelids, he said casually: "This is not the latest news, I already know it." ”

Fan Wencheng continued: "Great Khan, don't you think this is unusual? ”

The red guy muttered, "Extraordinary, unusual, yes! I understand what the gentleman meant. ”

Fan Wencheng saw that his master realized his own meaning, and came to his senses, and said: "The Great Khan is really a British lord, but unfortunately the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom has little to do, and he does not have the heart and bearing of the Great Khan." ”

Thousands of clothes are not worn, and the red guy is really useful, and laughed: "Huang Sheng has been awarded the title of Duke of Nanguo and is not satisfied, he is digging his own grave!" ”

"The Great Khan is very clear, Huang Sheng's private soldiers under his command are 6,000, everyone is equipped with fine armor, and they all have good horses to ride, which is better than Li Chengliang, who used to call for wind and rain in Liaodong!"

"Haha, Huang Sheng is young after all, he is so sharp, the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom used him this time, what should he do tomorrow?"

"Great Khan, the Jingshi of the Ming Kingdom staged a drama 'Man Jianghong' not long ago, I am afraid that Yue Wumu's fate will be fulfilled in Huang Sheng, and the Emperor of the Ming Kingdom will care about his turbulent public opinion for the sake of the stability of the country."

"At this time, I have a lot of money to do, I repair a book every day and send someone to shoot into Ning Yuan, but I want to see how determined Huang Sheng's strength is?"

"The Great Khan really had a clever plan, and the minister thought that it should be done both."

"Sir, but I'm going to send someone to Beijing to spread rumors and force Huang Sheng to bring troops to Jinzhou to fight a decisive battle with my army in order to clarify himself?"

"This is one of them, and the other is that we have to write more letters to contact Huang Sheng, and it's hard to say whether he received it or not."

"Good, just do it like this, Mr. will be in charge of this divisive plan will definitely be rewarded."

Huang Sheng did not immediately go into battle with the Houjin army, and with the current strength he had, he was not sure of a complete victory, after all, there were only nine thousand private soldiers with a total of 18,000 men, and even the personal guards and medical team were less than 20,000.

The rest of the Ming troops who dared to fight included Black Tiger, Lu Chengzu's less than 7,000 men and horses, Xiao Ma Chao's 7,000 white pole soldiers, Ye Haowu's more than 3,000 Zhejiang soldiers, and Qinggeltai's 5,000 cavalry could also fight.

Huang Sheng of the other Ming troops could not be trusted for the time being, although the number of Lian Ningyuan's defenders was as high as 43,000.

Every time Huang Sheng led the army to fight against the Houjin army, he maintained a local superiority in strength, and this time the number of men and horses he brought was less than half of that of the Houjin army, and the danger can be imagined.
