Chapter 521: Siege of Jinzhou

When the Houjin army was busy with farming, he saw that the master took everyone to Jinzhou, and they rushed to be the first one by one. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The last time the Red Gangsters took the Daling River, they harvested a lot, and they made a lot of weapons, armor, and artillery, and what was even more cost-effective was that they engaged in more than 30,000 strong laborers, and these Ming troops participated in the spring ploughing, so that the sowing area of Houjin was more than 300,000 mu.

In fact, the life of the slaves was very hard, they had no professional soldiers at all, and all the armored men and even the white armor soldiers had to participate in the work when they were busy with the farm, all because their population base was pitifully small.

In this era, the yield of land was limited, and in later generations, the output of one acre of land in Jiangnan could feed five or six people, and although only one acre of land in the northeast could feed two or three people.

In the Ming Dynasty, the output of acres in the north could not feed a person at all, and in order to obtain life-saving food, most of the common people had to carefully serve the land on which they depended, and Jiannu was no exception.

The treatment of the Han army who surrendered to Jiannu was even worse, much worse than in the Ming Dynasty, and they did not have the most basic personality, and they were tired and tired every day in the fields, and they were also whipped by Shiku from time to time.

If it weren't for the fact that Houjin had a military deterrence, and could lead soldiers and horses to rob homes and houses to generate income, there would be no Han people who would follow these beasts with all their hearts.

The serfdom of the Later Jin regime was nothing more than a small number of military aristocrats living a luxurious life, and in the past, in the era of the old slave Nurhachi, the magnates of the Later Jin were still restrained under the example of the old slave who led by example.

Although the old slave was extremely vicious, he was self-denying and thrifty all his life, and he did not drink a drop of alcohol, and he was a god-like existence in the Jiannu ruling area.

The Red Gangster is not the authority of the brutal Nurhachi, Mang Gurtai, Dai Shan and other Baylors are now decaying and degenerating, and there are many people who raise small singers in their families and get drunk and dream of death.

It was this backward and decaying Houjin who was able to continue to rob the Ming Dynasty to obtain unexpected wealth, which directly led to those poor hunters in the deep mountains getting several times more benefits from the war than farming and hunting, so that the Houjin Eight Banners Army was willing to gang up to go to the Ming Dynasty to plunder.

At this time, no one would have thought that there would be a bigger accident, Houjin would actually seize the Daming Flower World and let thousands of Han people become Ahha. This shows how unfortunate the Han people are.

More than 300,000 acres of fertile land in the Han River valley have been cultivated, and more than 400,000 stone of grain will be produced, which is enough to feed 150,000 people.

The Eight Banners of Goryeo and the Han soldiers are the most cost-effective to use, used to make cannon fodder in wartime, and used to farm when they are busy with farming.

The reason why the Red Gang put so much emphasis on training the Koreans and Han Chinese was because he found that these foreign armies were subservient to him.

The banner owners of the Houjin Eight Banners are not obedient to them, especially Daishan and Mang Gurtai, as well as the Dolgon and Duoduo brothers who also have to be guarded against.

The most disobedient and vainly trying to stand on his own was slaughtered by Huang Sheng, and the red gangster was actually just pretending to be sad, and he was so happy in his heart, the bull lu with the blue flag was now swallowed by him, and there was one less confidant, which was simply a big joy.

The Later Jin Dynasty was still a primitive tribal structure, and the grassroots tribes with Niulu as the unit all had their own masters, and although they belonged to the command of each banner master, the banner owner must also obey the orders of the Great Khan.

The bargaining between the military nobles and the slave chieftains of the Later Jin Dynasty was never eliminated, and the Eight Banners Banner Owner only nominally commanded the Banner Niulu.

Too many Gushan Ezhen and princes and nobles have a few cattle records under their own direct leadership, these cattle records are like private property and like the families of the Ming army, civil officials and generals, most of them are only loyal to their masters.

The red gangster recruited the rebel and strengthened himself, and of course he enjoyed it.

Consuming the strength of the banner lords such as Mang Gurtai and Dolgon, the Han army and the Goryeo army obtained were completely obedient to the orders of the Great Khan.

The appeal of the Houjin is not ordinary, this is entirely because they seized Goryeo and completely solved the food problem, those Mongolian Tartars have milk and are mothers, and they can help fight the war to be able to fill their stomachs and be able to share the capture, of course, they are not tired of it.

The Mongols organized 60,000 horses to help in the war, and they were willing to follow the Dajin Kingdom because they did not need to bring their own rations, and the high price of grain due to the drought in the north made the poor Mongols even more unable to buy food.

Each tribe went to some of the men to eat the grain of the Dajin Kingdom, and the life in the tribe was much better.

The Eight Banners Army dispatched by Houjin was still 30,000, the Eight Banners of Goryeo was still 60,000, the Minfu came 50,000, and the Han army was 20,000.

The red gang thinks that although Jinzhou is bigger than Dalinghe City, there are not as many people as Zu Dashou at that time, and without the horn of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou has become a lonely city, and it should be easier to fight.

With the experience of the last siege of Dihao, the Red Gangster believed that it would not be a problem to take Jinzhou, it was just a matter of spending more time, and he refused to attack the fortifications to increase the casualties of the children of the Eight Banners, and still adopted the trick of heavy siege to take Jinzhou.

If Da Ming Ning's distant reinforcement happens to fall into the target of his established encirclement point to send reinforcements, the results will be even more brilliant than the capture of Jinzhou, and I don't know how much weapons, armor, and war horses will get.

This is the reason why the Later Jin Army and the Ming Army have always fought successively in the past, and the choice of the battlefield, the choice of time, and the amount of troops invested are all in the hands of the Red Gangsters.

It also means that the Houjin army occupies the right time and place, and Jiannu can obtain a lot of wealth, population and livestock every time he fights, and the morale is naturally high, and the people and this element of war are in the Houjin army.

Every time, the Ming army was forced to go to the preset battlefield full of unknown enemy opponents, and there were too many soldiers dispatched in the pass who could not even adapt to the cold of Liaodong.

The Ming Dynasty's repeated defeats made the generals have no fighting spirit, and the final result was that the Ming Dynasty sent soldiers and horses to rescue the besieged Liaodong city as a gift.

In history, Yongping soldiers prepared for the road, Zhang Chun took Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other senior generals of the Ming army to rescue the lost soldiers of the Daling River, and sent tens of thousands of people and tens of thousands of Ming army equipment to the Houjin army.

Later, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces, who was in power, doubled his gifts.

He led Yang Guozhu, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, the chief soldier of Datong, Tang Tong, the general soldier of Miyun, Bai Guangen, the general soldier of Jizhou, Cao Bianjiao, the chief soldier of Yutian, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, the general soldier of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, the general soldier of Qiantun Guard, and Wu Sangui, the general soldier of Ningyuan, and other soldiers and horses of the eight towns of the Ming Dynasty, counting 130,000 elites and 40,000 horses to rescue Jinzhou City, which was ambushed by the Red Gangsters on all sides.

In the Battle of Songshan, the 130,000 army of the Ming army collapsed, and Houjin got tens of thousands of strong laborers, got the equipment of 100,000 troops, and captured no less than 30,000 war horses.

It can be seen that the encirclement point is the preset battlefield, the red gangster is very familiar, this strategist is really extraordinary, if it is not for the soul of Huang Sheng, he is a hole in the red gangster, the Ming Dynasty perished, and the Han people lost 70 million people and became slaves sooner or later.

The Houjin army engaged in the project in Jinzhou all looked forward to the Ming Dynasty having reinforcements here, no one could afford the Ming army, they all knew that the terrifying "killing god" of the Ming Dynasty was thousands of miles away in the South China Sea.

How far the South China Sea is, the Houjin army doesn't know, anyway, it will take several months to make a trip.
