A cadre of Ming generals in Shenyang City wanted to return to Ming anyway, but Dayong didn't know about it, because those people didn't send people to contact him, and he didn't send people to contact them.

In Dayong's view, Shenyang City is already in his own bag, and there is no need for these generals to add icing on the cake, there are these people without these people who have no value for the Jinzhou army, there are not many of them, and there are many of them, in this case, why do you need to get involved in these hot potatoes. If he really accepted them, I am afraid that the trouble would be no less than that of the Dengzhou rebels he had recruited. Moreover, since the first battle of the Songshan Army in Dalinghe, Dayong has no good impression of Zu Dashou, who will not be saved when he sees death, and even has no good face for the generals under him.

Speaking of which, only when the ancestor Dashou borrowed his Xia Desheng and Li Yizhong, the two generals made Dayong deeply impressed, and he was also very guilty, and he still thinks of the two of them and the five hundred warriors under them, Dayong will be heartbroken.

The battle outside Jinzhou City was really miserable, Xia and Li Erwei attacked with heavy cavalry to cover the cover, and resisted the Golden Eight Banners with flesh and blood, and both were martyred in the last round. The so-called heroes cherish heroes, and Dayong prides himself on being the first loyal and righteous man of the Ming Dynasty, and of course he has great respect for such strong men who are as loyal as him.

After the Jinzhou War, after Dayong knew how He Kegang died, he regretted but also helpless, he did not have the ability to control the war at that time, and he wanted to save but could not save it, so he could only let the historical tragedy roll forward along the original wheel.

And for the generals who descended with their ancestors, except for despising and hating, Dayong has no other view. In order to support you, the Ming Dynasty did not hesitate to exhaust the treasury, hoping that you could hold the rivers and mountains outside this pass, but in the end, you have surrendered! Is this fucking worthy of the dynasty, worthy of the king, worthy of the people whose blood is constantly being drained for providing for you?

It is understandable to be captured after exhausting the strength of the battle, but choosing to surrender when there is still the strength to fight, which is absolutely unacceptable to Dayong.

Surrender is addictive, and if you do it once, you'll definitely do it again. Why did Dayong have to kill Zu Dashou, was it just to replace him as the chief military officer of Liaodong?

It is true that Dayong wanted to climb up and get rid of the obstacles that blocked him from climbing up, but the biggest reason why he killed Zu Dashou was that this person had fallen. He didn't want to see a general who had surrendered to the Jin people to preside over Guanwai again and control the military town outside the Guanwai of the Ming Dynasty, because it meant that this person would surrender again when he was besieged again, not to mention that this was still a general who left all his sons, nephews and brothers on the side of the Jin people and returned alone. In his previous life, this damn magnified Yong was a naked official who was alive and well, an official who couldn't be naked.

Can such a naked general be believed?

Dayong didn't believe it, so he killed Zu Dashou, and similarly, he didn't believe that the hundreds of Han people in Shenyang City surrendered to generals, no matter when they surrendered and for what circumstances, Dayong didn't believe them.

At this point, Dayong did a bad job, his measurement is not as good as Hong Tai, but people have to come down, whether you are a big official or a small official, you will always trust and entrust it.

Dayong always thinks that these people are not credible, and always wants to kill them in one fell swoop to prevent future troubles. This practice undoubtedly pushed those demoted officials into the arms of the Jurchens, so that they could fight to the death with the Ming army to the end, and the final consequences could only be borne by the Ming army itself.

The Jinzhou Army, which implemented the "Nine-Rank Traitor System" purge regulations in southern Liaoning, only allowed low-grade traitors to be demoted or exempted from punishment based on merit, while the high-grade traitors blocked the door of repentance anyway and did not allow them to surrender anyway, so that these people could only die with the Jurchens to the end. In fact, the strength and energy of these high-grade traitors are much stronger than those of low-grade traitors.

Most of the many rebellions that broke out in southern Liaoning were instigated by these high-grade traitors, and there were also many high-grade traitors and their families in the ranks that fled north.

In fact, if Dayong had taken a relatively moderate approach, taken the same measures as Hong Tai had won over the hearts and minds of the people, had not engaged in any major purges, had accepted all the Han people who had surrendered to the Jin State, and allowed them to make meritorious contributions, the situation would certainly have stabilized more quickly, so that the Jinzhou Army could gain more local support, a larger population, more money and food, and could also reduce some of its own casualties, and could also increase the blow to the Eight Banners.

It's a pity that Dayong didn't do this, he brutally took what he thought was the simplest and most effective measure to kill, a "kill" word, I'm afraid it was determined by the limitations of Dayong's background and knowledge in his previous life, after all, he was just a gambler who crossed over, and he was not born with great talent, and he was able to govern the army and the people.

The aura of the traverser is not able to make an ordinary person quickly grow into an all-powerful son of heaven, and if the traverser wants to achieve his goal, he also has to pay the same effort and sacrifice as other people in this era, and more often than not, he has to endure countless failures.

A traverser who has never even tasted failure is definitely not a person, it is an existence that is close to a demon, Dayong is not a demon, so he has failed many times, but the failure again and again has made him grow up slowly. Perhaps, the current Dayong is still a slightly immature guy who only knows how to do things wildly, but I have to admit that he is growing up

On the evening of the 16th, Dong Zhong and Shen Yi led two artillery units of Qianhu to finally arrive on the south bank of the Hunhe River, and were attacked by a group of less than 100 Jin soldiers along the way, fortunately most of these Jin soldiers were young people who had not been on the battlefield, so they did not cause much casualties to the artillery, but were killed by Shen Yi commanding the gunners, and the remaining Jin soldiers retreated in the direction of the Liao River when they saw that the situation was not good.

Shen Yi tortured a Jin soldier who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, and the child soldier told Shen Yi that they were a garrison of eight banners near Xiping Fort, which was attached to the red flag, because the banner owner sent the young men in the banner to go to Mongolia, leaving behind some old people and children, so after receiving the order of Shenyang Dabeile to transfer troops, the remaining Zhuang Da organized them to prepare to rush to Shenyang for reinforcements. But there was a fork in the road, and as a result, he ran into the Jinzhou army that was rushing to Shenyang. Na Zhuangda had fought with the Ming army several times, and knew that the Ming army was unbearable, so he thought that these Ming troops could not help fighting, so he led them to charge the battle to disperse the Ming troops who were escorting the artillery, and then escorted the prisoners to transport the artillery to Shenyang. How could I have thought that it had hit a hard fork, and before he rushed to the front, he was killed by the guns of the Jinzhou army, which scared these baby soldiers who had never been on the battlefield, and Zhuangda was also stunned, and it took a long time to react, and he didn't care about the injured baby soldiers on the ground, and hurriedly ran to the west with the rest of the baby soldiers.

Before he arrived in Shenyang, he made a meritorious contribution first, and the beheading was more than forty levels, so that Dong Zhong and Shen Yi couldn't keep their mouths together.

After Dayong learned about this situation, he was shocked that the Jin Army even sent out twelve or thirteen-year-old children, but he was very happy at the same time, these flag children are the main source of soldiers for the Eight Banners, if he can kill more flag people's children, Hong Tai is afraid that he will feel distressed when he sleeps.

The Xiping Fort where these baby soldiers are located is the only way for the Jin army of Guangning and Yizhou to go north to reinforce Shenyang, Dong Zhong and they only encountered the baby soldiers near Xiping Fort, but the Jin soldiers of Guangning and Yizhou are not children, Hong Tai is not stupid enough to take away all the Jin soldiers of the Jin Ming army that shocked Ning in order to conquer Mongolia, so the Jin army from Guangning and Yizhou is definitely a force that cannot be underestimated.

The city will be attacked tomorrow, Dayong did not dare to be careless, and hurriedly sent a messenger to order the cavalry of Cao Bianjiao's department to immediately expand the search and alert area to the line of the Liaohe River, focusing on the direction of Xipingbao, and it was necessary to ensure that the Jin army that went north to reinforce in the direction of Xipingbao was blocked, even if they could not be defeated, they could not easily break through to Shenyang.

Cao Bianjiao has 800 wolf cavalry heavy armor cavalry, 1,600 auxiliary light cavalry, and Peng Dazhuan's light cavalry can be dispatched at any time. Unless Hong Tai's main force returns to the division, there is Xiao Cao here, and Dayong can be at ease.

After a night's rest, in the early morning of the 17th, Dayong ordered all troops to cross the river and attack the city.

The banner soldiers of Mang Gurtai crossed the river first and arrived at the south gate of Shenyang, and the left battalion of the infantry army then crossed the river and stood on the left flank of the banner soldiers. After the flag soldiers and the left battalion of the infantry army were formed, the artillery crossed the Hunhe River with two thousand households. Da Yong personally led his own battalion to protect the right flank of the artillery.

In view of the insufficient strength of the defenders of Shenyang City, the main direction of Dayong's attack was the South Gate.

Just after the hour, the cannon rang out.

Two artillery units of 80 Western light guns and 60 small copper cannons made by the Ministry of Engineering continuously shelled the Great South Gate.
