Chapter 1370: A Supply Like a Mountain and a Sea

The first provisional division that landed did not rest much, the original Jinzhou defenders thought that they were going to enter the city of Jinzhou, but they never thought that these soldiers and horses stood in the camp of the Jianzhou Jurchens, and arranged defenses there, preparing to block possible enemies, which made people admire in private, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty wanted to drill into the city, but they were not willing to work hard in the camp outside the city, and they never thought that this "anti-thief" soldiers and horses were willing.

Although the supply of grain and grass is worrying in the long run, it is not in a hurry in the short term, because the Jianzhou Jurchen was directly driven away from the camp, and the grain and grass baggage have all become the trophies here, and each of the Zhao Jiajun has brought three days of dry food, but now there is no need to worry about it in half a month, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan saw these in their eyes, and had a calculation in their hearts, and when the seized grain and grass were about to be eaten, they would use this as an example to persuade again.

But by the next day, the original defenders who were sent to work began to complain, Chen Jisheng, Zhang Pan and others were relatively well treated, and there were no restrictions and restraints, they soon learned about the situation, and immediately went over to appease, and only after asking did they know that it was not that Zhao Jiajun was harsh and detained, or that he was urging too tightly, obviously it was a few days of work to be done in a day or two, and everyone was angry that what was the use of being so anxious.

Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and other veteran figures in the defenders also felt that Zhao Jiajun was the same age as the main general, but he was too impetuous, and he had to be calm when using soldiers, because the urging was too urgent, and there were too many precedents for provoking mutiny.

But after another day, everyone knew why it was so urgent, because the sea outside the port was full of ships, and the scene was as spectacular as the day the reinforcements came, each ship had a deep draft, and left after unloading the full load of supplies on the shore, no wonder it was so urgent to rush these things away, and if these things were not packed up, there was no way to store the things sent, or even to transport them to the city of Jinzhou.

With the arrival of these huge quantities of materials, there are many cattle and horses carts, this group of Xuzhou people are really thoughtful, not only transported materials, but also the vehicles that carry the materials have been sent, and the carts are flowing endlessly on the newly repaired roads, transporting grain, grass and various military materials to Jinzhou City.

The corpses and the like in the city of Jinzhou have been cleaned up, sprinkled with quicklime, which is also transported by ships by sea, and then the relatively complete house is used as a warehouse to store supplies, and even a special area has been cleared to set up various workshops.

Everyone is tired to death, but everyone is full of energy, the day before yesterday's resentment has disappeared, such a huge amount of materials like mountains and seas, it means that the Xuzhou Zhao family army will take root in Liaodi for a long time, and it means that their own family can also share in this huge amount of materials.

However, everyone is wondering, Jinzhou to Dengzhou, take the sea route and then smooth sailing, back and forth for four days and five days, how can this fleet leave the port in such a short time to transport back so many materials, Zhang Pan and others, who have been stationed in Jinzhou for a long time, but they understand, this Zhao Jiajun must have put the materials on Huangcheng Island and other islands in advance, and as soon as the results came out here, the materials immediately went ashore.

This huge amount of materials has been imported for more than ten days in a row, and people with good intentions have observed in the port that the fleet transporting materials is only afraid that there are more than 100 large ships in rotation, and in these more than ten days, even thousands of people have been sent, all of whom are young and strong men from the Liao people, who have come with all kinds of tools, and the addition of new laborers has greatly improved the efficiency of transporting and relocating military funds.

But the thousands of new people who joined made the former Jinzhou defender generals more worried, a few thousand more, but there were thousands of more mouths, don't look at the current piles of materials inside and outside the city, but the consumption of nearly 20,000 mouths is also huge, this can not be ambiguous.

When they saw the endless fleet, the mountains of military resources, and the young and strong men with Liaodi accents, everyone's minds stabilized, and they all felt that driving out the Tartars and recovering Liaodi was not an extravagant hope and delusion, but an attainable goal.

In the past ten days, there have been more than 100 cavalry on the Jinzhou side, and the number of cavalry has made Zhang Pan, Chen Jisheng and others wonder, didn't they say that there were 1,000 or hundreds of cavalry? Is it a bluff? However, these more than 100 cavalry have played a big role, and they cooperate with local guides and small groups of foot soldiers to completely block the surrounding area.

But the Jianzhou Jurchen did not send too many spies, according to the report of the cavalry of the Zhao family, the sentinel detectives of the Jianzhou Jurchen did not seek to spy deeply, but in the vicinity of several land routes, it seems that they are more concerned about whether the Zhao Jiajun will go north to Fuzhou from the Jinzhou area, as for how many soldiers and horses are landed, what kind of strength they have, they don't care.

After the busyness of the bulk of materials ashore subsided slightly, another fleet arrived at Jinzhou's side, although the fleet was not large, but Chen Sheng, who had been in charge of military affairs, personally greeted him, and everyone thought that something important was coming.

This fleet unloaded more than ten cannons, which were all placed on the Jinzhou city wall as city artillery, but the unloaded materials were so much, and there were more than 100 soldiers on the ship ashore, and there was nothing abnormal about the others, but at night, the people who came here from Dongjiang Town knew the news, and the Zhao family military camp left on Phi Island withstood the head of nearly 10,000 Tartar soldiers and horses for more than 20 days, and left thousands of seeds for Dongjiang Town on Phi Island.

The Jianzhou Jurchen soldiers and horses drove the Han prisoners to take the lead, but they did not kill all the people, they still need someone to work to support, and after Zhao Song completely swept away the Jianzhou soldiers and horses on Phi Island, more than 3,000 people were collected over, and Zhao Song and all the remnants rested on Phi Island.

The remnants of Dongjiang Town who heard the news were first speechless, and then full of emotion, and then they were extremely ashamed, their own family gave up and fled first, and the other party has been persevering until now, and some people are even thinking, if everyone didn't leave at that time, if Dongjiang Town didn't play too many tricks with the Phi Island sergeant battalion at that time, would the defense of Phi Island collapse, and everyone would have to escape?

Now there is no point in thinking about this, but Kong Youde, Geng Zhongming and others asked to go back, saying that they were willing to die for Zhao Song's saddle.

However, this request was refused, Kong Youde and the others didn't think much about it, but Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan smiled bitterly, thinking that Zhao Song finally held the hearts of the people of Phi Dao firmly in his hands, how could he tolerate you going back to mix sand.

These words naturally can't be spoken, but the matter itself is still exciting, originally there was no possibility of a counteroffensive in Liaodi, Jinzhou and Phi Dao two hard support, suddenly, the two places that were hard to support became two ways to attack, two ways of soldiers and horses that can take care of each other, naturally make everyone happy.

Although everyone was still worried about whether the supplies here would survive the winter, Chen Sheng was very generous and directly ordered the ships to transport grain and equipment to the Phi Island.

Happy to be happy, seeing that the materials they could share with were sent to the other side, the Jinzhou defenders were still in a complicated mood, but the Yunshan line manager who came with them dispelled this worry, and there was a special fleet to deliver supplies to Phi Dao, and Phi Dao also served as a transit point for absorbing Goryeo grain.

When they said these words, they did not shy away from Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan and others, this statement made them very confused, thinking that there is a big war here, why do they still have to do business with Goryeo, is this to recover Liaodi, or to make money?

Confusion flashed, Chen Jisheng called a few trustworthy henchmen, every day in the Golden State storage of materials to count and calculate, their action made the internal security and intelligence department of the army very nervous, after the secret visit to determine one thing, they just want to calculate the quantity, to see if these materials can survive this winter.

Don't look at the amount of supplies now, but with so many soldiers and horses, it is difficult to cope with this winter, Chen Jisheng has not considered the possibility of the Phi Island, if the situation is critical in the winter, the Phi Island side may also need to allocate material support.

Chen Jisheng gave up after four days of calculation, he thought that the military shipping had ended, and the next thing was just the end, but the amount of landing materials in these four days was less than the previous peak, but the absolute number was still huge, and the people and laborers were still busy moving, and there were still more and more materials piled up on the wharf.

And such a "finishing" of the sea did not stop until August, Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan finally gave up their ideas, replaced by shock and disbelief, they can no longer imagine the strength of Xuzhou, such an endless flow of shipping, such a mountain and sea of materials, how much silver is enough.

Every morning, I saw that there were ships to enter the harbor and dock, and then the tired people went up to load and unload, and when it was dark, they could vaguely see the black shadows of the ships anchoring and sailing on the sea, and the people who went to carry the work had already complained, although they could eat enough every day, and the food and fish were enough, although there were still wages to take, but such endless fatigue made people really unable to persevere, and there were already cattle and horses that were tired to death.

Chen Jisheng and Zhang Pan are used to this, people's weight and strength are far inferior to cattle and horses, but the toughness is much stronger than cattle and horses, besides, since it is the people's husband Ding Zhuang, then what else is there to talk about, what should be done, otherwise the military law here is waiting, but Zhao Jiajun's side does not think so, but let the people start to rotate, according to Zhao Jiajun, at this time it is almost to the limit, and if it continues to toss like this, I am afraid that it will be broken bones and disabled.

This kind of behavior made the Jinzhou defenders speechless, and they found that they were not only shocked by the strength of the Zhao family's army, but also did not understand their methods, and only felt that they had never heard of it.
