Chapter 436: Hold on for a year
Only Wu Xiang was very persistent, he only took dozens of family members to stay in the camp, no matter when Lord Huang went to Beijing, he had to follow, Huang Sheng thought that it was better to leave Wu Xiang behind, lest he encounter a vicious battle and run away again to shake the army's heart.

Huang Sheng suggested that Mao Yuanyi personally guard Ningyuan and promote He Kegang to garrison Jinzhou. This time, He Kegang's military exploits are impressive, at least three consecutive promotions, he is now a guerrilla general, and there is no problem with temporarily appointing him as a staff general stationed in Jinzhou, and he will definitely be approved when he reports to the Ministry of War.
Huang Sheng is the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of Liaodong has been arrested and imprisoned by the saint, theoretically Huang Sheng's military order is the highest order, although he said politely to the generals, the prestige and position of a hundred victories are destined to be no one in Liaodong dare to disobey.
He Kegang saw that the governor valued himself so much, and made him the chief general stationed in Jinzhou, patting his chest to ensure that he was in Jinzhou, and Jiannu had to step on his own corpse to take Jinzhou.
Huang Sheng is relieved to be arranged in this way, the most important thing is to use the right person, Mao Yuanyi is not ambiguous in guarding the city, and He Kegang's ability to defend the city is more prominent.
He and Zu Dashou were already deputy generals when they defended Dalinghe City together, and they were not broken by the Houjin army when the defenders ran out of food and began to eat people, and finally Zu Dashou wanted to surrender to save his life, and killed He Kegang, who was ready to break the jade rather than the whole tile.
Huang Sheng knows this historical story, with his own trouble, He Kegang, who is loyal and courageous, will not end up with that tragic ending, no matter who sticks to the lonely city in Liaodong for a year and a half, the Huang family will definitely go all out to rescue.
With Huang Sheng's strength, Jiannu could not be destroyed for the time being, but the whole army could attack a little, and although the casualties would not be small from one direction, the success was very certain.
The Huang family can concentrate all the army forces to attack one point with strong firepower, and Jiannu can't transfer all the troops and horses to intercept it. Besides, it is impossible for the Huaxia Navy to be an audience, so don't you want the cities along the coast of Jiannu?
Huang Sheng specially summoned He Kegang to teach him face-to-face, and asked him to ensure that the hoarded food was enough for the soldiers and civilians to feed for more than a year, and that there should be so much wood and charcoal hoarded, and the water source was equally important.
He Kegang was humbly taught, but he was a little embarrassed, and he asked: "Lord Huang, I also want to have sufficient material reserves, but I am afraid that the true color of the imperial court may not be able to ensure it!" ”
"General He, you remember, the imperial court does not have enough rice and grain, you have to find a way, you can build a cylindrical granary like the Huang family to store grain, the annual price of grain in Liaodong is high, you call on your subordinates to exchange the saved silver for grain reserves, not only to maintain the value but also to appreciate the value, why not?"
Wake up from the dream with a word, He Kegang suddenly realized that two years ago, the price of grain in Liaodong had more than doubled compared to now, and if all the empty salary and silver were exchanged for grain at that time, it should have doubled now.
He was sincerely convinced: "Thank you for your advice, you can rest assured that you will know what to do in the future." ”
It is an indisputable fact that Liaodong Jiangmen smuggled grain, and it was better to block it than to be sparse, Huang Sheng reminded He Kegang:
"But you have to pay attention, you can only sell grain to the Mongols if you make sure that the city you are stationed in has a year's reserves, and you will defend the city in the future, as long as you can carry the attack of the serf for a year, even if the private soldiers under your command are destroyed, you will do your best to rescue."
"I understand that with a year's worth of grain, grass, charcoal, and water, I can defend the city and hold on until the adults come to help."
"Today, even if the official agrees with the general, no matter which city you defend, as long as you persist for a year, the official will ensure that you are saved from fire and water."
He Kegang was a real person, he didn't know how to express his gratitude, so he only knelt down silently and kowtowed nine times.
Huang Sheng convened a meeting of the generals left behind in Liaodong, and made it clear that as long as all the generals have the ability to hold on to the lonely city for a year, no matter how difficult it is, they will rescue them in time, and one year is also the limit, and the generals must be as solid as a rock if they hold one place.
The generals of Liaodong were afraid of Jiannu in the field, and they were not afraid of them at all when they defended the city, so they listened to Huang Sheng's request, knew the importance of storing food and firewood for a year, and got Huang Sheng's promises one by one.
This is Huang Sheng's repeated victories and victories, which led to the Liaodong generals being convinced, and Lord Huang's commitment is based on what he can do, and the generals who defend the city in Liaodong believe that Lord Huang's all-out rescue will be successful.
Of course, they have to stick to it for a year, not only to save their lives, but also to get a reward from the imperial court for sticking to the lonely city.
The war has come to an end, and the Ming troops in Ningyuan and Jinzhou are still losing money, and all the military attaches are resigned to it and don't care at all, because if one more soldier dies, they will get one more soldier's salary and pension.
It doesn't matter if the report documents are sent out, there are still many cities in Liaodong that have not been broken, and the Ming army is preparing to expand the results of the battle many times when there are many casualties with Jiannu, what is not okay?
Huang Sheng is expanding his strength at any time, and his subordinates also know that the head of the family is eager to have as many fierce soldiers as possible, and because they have fought side by side with these Ming troops, they have a certain understanding of each other.
The military attache of the Huang family kept chatting with the fierce soldiers he fancied, and then these fierce soldiers died happily, and they couldn't even find their bodies, because they all went to Huangjiawan Island by boat, and soon their families would also come to reunite.
He Kegang really obeyed the order, he returned to Jinzhou and began to count the grain, and then immediately asked the Huang family to buy, this time the army seized three or four hundred thousand stone of grain, sold to He Kegang at a cheap price, and sent to Jinzhou only for two taels of silver and one stone of wheat.
In this way, the price of grain is almost the same as the price in the Guannai, and the Ming army of Jinzhou saw that it was profitable, so they concentrated their silver to buy grain, and stored as much as possible, and the share of more than a year could be sold to the Mongols at a high price! They are busy one by one for their own and their wealth at the same time.
Huang Sheng also had no choice but to throw out a large amount of relatively low-priced grain to feed these generals who were ready to make a fortune, so that they could hoard enough reserves, and they would also leave a year's consumption in order to protect their wealth and life.
Just when everything was arranged, a messenger came from Shanhaiguan, and the elder Sun Chengzong came to Shanhaiguan to supervise the Liaodong soldiers and horses again.
Because Mao Yuanyi and the generals bargained and revised the documents for the victory many times, the imperial court did not get the good news at the first time, and did not know that more than half of the city of Jiannu Liaodong was destroyed, and the Jin army lost more than 15,000 regular soldiers.
Mao Yuanyi was extremely excited to know that the old leader was back after receiving the news, and wanted to take Huang Sheng to Shanhaiguan to see Sun Gelao, Huang Sheng had a lot of things, so he politely excused himself.
Because Huang Sheng interfered with the historical process, Mao Yuanyi's official fortune has been prosperous in recent years, not just a general like a praise painting as in history, and the grade is only from the sixth grade.
Historically, after Sun Chengzong left office, he had been following Yuan Chonghuan behind, and later Yuan Chonghuan was arrested by the emperor, and he took dozens of horses to gallop hundreds of miles to risk sending Sun Chengzong, who once again supervised Liaodong, to Shanhaiguan to take office.
Now Mao Yuanyi is also sitting on one side of the Zhengsi Pinning Qiandao military equipment, mastering the soldiers, horses, money and food of the 30,000 or 40,000 Ming army, this time not only wiping the buttocks of empty salaries but also being able to share the miraculous achievements of the "Liaoshen Great Victory", and the future is even more limitless.
