Chapter 418: The Battle of Shenyang (5)

Hong Tai also favored the sons of Zu Dashou and did not snub them because of his father's death. After the Battle of Jinzhou, Hong Tai awarded Zu Zerun the third son, appointed the right of the military department to participate in politics, and was subordinate to the yellow flag of the Han army; Awarded Zuze to participate in politics, and the Han army was inlaid with yellow flags; Zu Zehong participated in politics and was affiliated with the Han Army with a yellow flag.

Zu Dacheng, Zhang Cunren, Liu Tianlu, Han Daxun, Cao Gongcheng, Zu Dashou's adopted son Zu Kefa, Yizi Zu Keyuan and other former Ming army generals also retained the original officials to carry into the Han army flag, these measures quickly appeased the hearts of the generals, and also made the next division of the Liaodong Army did not cause major fluctuations.

The group of generals left by Zu Dashou, Hong Tai is relieved, Dai Shan will naturally not be wary, make the best use of things, and let Sun Degong lead these Liaodong troops, it is better to hand them over to the ancestral family. Daikin treats you well, and now Daikin is in trouble, you should also contribute to Dajin.

The 3,000 Liaodong Army was divided into four battalions, each with 800 soldiers, in addition to Zu Dacheng and Zu Zerun each leading a battalion, Liu Tianlu and Cao Gongcheng also led a battalion alone, guarding the eight gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest. In addition, there are 2,000 assistant wars Aha who are used as auxiliaries.

In the past, when the Jin army went out, a banner usually had to be assisted by two or three Aha, but when counting the troops, these Aha were never counted as soldiers, and their casualties were not counted.

The purpose of the existence of Aha is to reduce the burden of the soldiers, transport the baggage, and sometimes be responsible for guarding the prisoners on the battlefield and cutting the heads of the enemy. If the war doesn't go well, these aha will be used as cannon fodder. This is similar to the heavy cavalry of the Jinzhou Army, which is equipped with 1,600 light cavalry auxiliaries. The origins of the war are complex, not only Han Chinese, but also other ethnic groups such as Mongols, Koreans, Feiyala, and Balhu (so-called Shengjurchen).

The Battle-Aiders are usually able to be used as non-armoured bannermen after a few battles. The unarmored soldiers of the Eight Banners can compete with the regular soldiers of the Ming army, so the Eight Banners soldiers are willing to bring more Aha when they go into battle, because it means that they can have more soldiers in the future. As for the armored soldiers, they are the main force of each banner, and the personal soldiers of the banner owners such as the Swing Tooth Wave are the elite of the elite, and they will never be easily lost unless they have to.

Now there are more than 400 soldiers in the Khan Palace and Dai Shanzheng Red Banner in the city of Shenyang, 1,200 soldiers in armor, more than 2,000 bannermen without armor, and more than 3,000 new Han troops. It's a pity that the war is not decided by the number of people, not to mention that this amount of troops is still pitifully small for guarding the big city of Shenyang

Sun Degong and Shi Tingzhu had 400 pro-soldiers under their command, and Dai Shan allocated another 100 armor-clad banner soldiers, these 500 people not only had to monitor the Liaodong Army, but also existed as the mobility of the outer city. Of course, the last sentence of Dai Shan's order to Sun Degong was: "If you can't do anything, you will enter the inner city."

Sun Degong set himself two days, and he only held out in the outer city for two days, and after two days he immediately retreated into the inner city. At this point, he had already passed the anger with Shi Tingzhu, but he had never passed the anger with the ancestral family, because he had already made up his mind to leave these people to drag the Ming army for him, and he didn't bother to pay attention to whether they were dead or alive.

Sun Degong didn't have any psychological burden to do the betrayal of friendly troops, and besides, the people of the ancestral family did no less than him, and he had to worry about whether the ancestral family would run away before he ran. What's more, he is an authentic Manchurian Eight Banners, but he is not a group of new Han Eight Banners of the ancestral family, and his status is noble.

After the ancestral family led the Liaodong army to the city, the Han officials of the six yamen and Hongwen Yuan who lived in the outer city did not do it, and they ran to Daishan to cry and complain that the ancestral family was not credible, and they had a handful of snot and tears, saying that Shenyang is where the Dajin capital is located, and once the code is lost, the country will be in danger, so the Han people must not be allowed to guard the outer city, and they must make the Manchurian soldiers to defend it. Among them, the most said thing is that the ancestral family was exhausted and lowered my Dajin back then, but today they may not really be willing to fight to the death for my Dajin, they are repeated villains, and they must not be gullible.

Dai Shan didn't bother to pay attention to the cries of these Han officials, and asked someone to reprimand them, "If the ancestral family is not credible, can you be trusted?" "The implication is that you say that the ancestral family is Han Chinese, and it is possible that they are disloyal to Dajin and colluded with the Ming army, so you people are also Han people, do I have to worry about your collusion with the Ming army?

These words made a group of Han officials speechless, and only after kowtowing did they realize that at this juncture of the Ming army's siege of the city, it seemed that their identity was also very embarrassing. Saying that the ancestral family is not credible and repeatedly villains, what about themselves? The court is a Ming minister, and the twilight is a golden official, fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter!

Sony believes that the Ming army has just arrived, the foothold is not stable, and there is a small setback in front of the reckless Gurtai, at this time, a brigade of elite soldiers should be transferred out of the city to fight bravely, killing them by surprise, even if they are not victorious, they cannot let the Ming army calmly deploy on the south bank of the Hunhe River, otherwise it will be a serious blow to the morale of the defenders of the city. At present, the people in the city are unstable, and a victory is really needed to cheer people up, proving that the Eight Banners warriors can hold Shenyang and defeat the Ming army.

Eju Yanguli also explained that the army is now gathered outside the city There are not many soldiers and horses, it should not be more than 10,000, and it is mainly foot soldiers, if you choose elite soldiers to rush the camp, there should be a possibility of breaking the enemy in one fell swoop. If they are allowed to gather their troops and horses, it is unlikely that they will want to go out of the city to fight.

Sonny and Yanguli represent the strength of the two yellow banners, and to some extent, they can be regarded as direct representatives of Hong Tai, and their ideas are naturally supported by the generals of the main battle, which makes Dai Shan also a little shaken, but in the end, under the persuasion of the old governor Tang Adun dispelled the plan to go out of the city to attack the Ming army.

Adun believes that the reason why he can't fight is that although the Ming army outside the city has an unstable foothold, it has the assistance of Mang Gurtai, and the Ming army is coming with the momentum of sweeping southern Liaonan, and the morale must be high, and the commander is Shi Dayong, who has made the Great Khan suffer, and the combat effectiveness of his troops is not comparable to other soldiers and horses of the Ming Kingdom, so it cannot be underestimated. On the other hand, our army has low morale and unstable morale, but there are less than 2,000 soldiers in the battle, and if we venture out of the city, it is good to win, but once we fail, the consequences will be unimaginable. People's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and now there are eight banner soldiers pressing, and the Han people dare not act rashly, but if there is no Eight Banners soldiers pressing, all the ghosts will jump out.

Ah Dun's words reached Dai Shanxin's eyes, so he firmly adhered to his heart and strictly ordered Sonny and others not to be beheaded by military orders.
