Chapter 137: The Battle of Jinzhou (2)

It's been a long time since I've asked for a collection.,Please just look at the book.,Friends who don't have a collection can collect this book.,Thank you.

In terms of weapons, it is also very plentiful.

Thanks to the army, the weapons that the Songshan army recovered from Jinzhou included 8 large poles, 2,500 firearms, 720 standard long knives, 3,620 spears, and 1,400 crossbows and arrows. Coupled with the fact that the armies originally held weapons, Shi Dayong reluctantly estimated that it was enough to levy another 5,000 Jinzhou young and strong soldiers.

There are not many war horses, the horses in the city have been looted by the army, there are less than 200 old and weak horses, and the Songshan army has only brought back more than 700 war horses on the battlefield, and the total number is less than 1,000. However, fortunately, the next battle is a battle to defend the city, and there is no need for field battles, so this war horse does not affect the battle situation. It's just that Shi Dayong was a little sorry, when the Jin army was first defeated, there were thousands of ownerless war horses scattered on the battlefield, but unfortunately he didn't expect that the wind direction would change at that time, otherwise he would have gathered the ownerless war horses in advance and brought them back to Jinzhou, and he would have become an outbreak. With these thousands of war horses, it is a great help to organize a cavalry army after riga. Now, I can only regret it.

However, where to find the war horse after RI is a matter for RI, and after RI, I will talk about it, and now we should take care of how to defend Zhazhou.

If you don't keep the state, everything will not be mentioned. Only by guarding Zhazhou can there be hope.

In view of the fact that the north gate was the main attack of the Jin army, and Zhao led the teaching to guard Jinzhou and also guarded the north gate, Shi Dayong gave Huang An, Shao Wu, and Jiang Wanli 800 soldiers each, and Songshan's army, the regimental training guards, and the defeated army each accounted for one-third. In addition, Chen Angsu, the prefect of Jinzhou, should organize 5,000 young people to assist in guarding, and when the young people are well organized, they will transfer 500 to Huang An. The rest are all concentrated at the North Gate and are on standby.

In terms of food, it is also very abundant. Jinzhou was originally the place where the Ming army stored grain, and compared with the transit station of Songshan, the grain in Jinzhou City was enough for 50,000 soldiers and civilians to eat for more than a year. However, Qiu Hejia was still worried, and he told Shi Dayong that there were no less than 100,000 Liao people in the city, plus the army of nearly 10,000 people, although there was a lot of food in the city, it might not be able to last for half a year.

Shi Dayong was not worried about this, he told Qiu Hejia, not to mention that the Jin army had been injured and damaged by the battle of the Great and Small Ling River, and its vitality was greatly damaged, so whether it could really attack Jinzhou again was another matter. Even if it's coming, can it still be besieged for a long time like the Daling River?

Affected by the climate of the Xiaoice River, this day has instantly changed from hot summer to autumn wind, and the temperature is dropping every day, if the temperature drops like this, the Jin army vows to withdraw the siege, otherwise it will fall heavily and the Jin army will be defeated by the weather no matter how strong it is.

Even if the Jin army withstood the severe cold, it really besieged Jinzhou for a long time, and there was no need to worry about the lack of food at all. At least, in the first month, the people of Jinzhou still had their own food stocks, and there was no need for rationing by the army. Besides, there are so many big families in Jinzhou City, and many of these people are in the grain business, and there is a frightening amount of grain stored at home. When there is a real food crisis, it is enough to buy grain directly from these large households, and grab it if you don't sell it. As long as you can defend Zhazhou, you must use any means.

Even if it is inconvenient to grab grain, there is no need to be afraid of running out of grain, don't forget that Jinzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and he Jiannu has no sailors, so the imperial court will transfer sailors from Ningyuan and Denglai to transport grain to Jinzhou.

In short, Shi Dayong may not dare to pack tickets, but he dares to pack tickets for this grain.

Retreat 10,000 words, even if the trend of the situation is not as he expected, but all to the worst, such as Hong Taizhen desperately besieging Jinzhou, or if the food in the city is really eaten up, and if Chongzhen makes a faint move, he does not let Ning Yuan and Denglai transport grain to Jinzhou, etc...

There is no need to worry about the lack of food at all, although there are no less than 100,000 people in Jinzhou City, and there are not a few businessmen who lack morality. Of course, before doing this beastly thing, there must be a way to evacuate the innocent people from the sea, and the evacuation is as much as possible. In short, after the city is broken, he also wants Huang Taiji to get an empty city, and never leave him a living person

Of course, Shi Dayong didn't dare to say this to Qiu Hejia, so he could only hide it in his heart.

…………

Although Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou, is a "eunuch" who is scolded by officials in the DPRK and China, he is also a talented person, and he is much more pragmatic than those Donglin officials.

Knowing that the army had been defeated, Chen Ang did not feel afraid, and immediately packed up his things and fled, but immediately found Qiu Hejia, first expressed his responsibility as the prefect of Jinzhou to live and die with Jinzhou, and then proposed that the prefect yamen come forward to organize the young and strong to defend the city, and also to gather the gentry of Jinzhou and ask them to donate money to the army, so as to encourage the soldiers to defend the city. He even said that if necessary, he should also go to the city with the soldiers and do what he can.

In this regard, Qiu Hejia was greatly moved, and agreed to Chen Ang's proposal, and was even more impressed by Chen Ang, when he purged the eunuchs after he ascended the throne today, he was still just a person, and everyone was the same, and he did not have any real understanding of the so-called "eunuchs". I only know that these people have no shame to follow Wei Zhongxian, the big eunuch, they must be shameless villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death, where do they have any real skills. Therefore, after taking office in Liaodong, he was very unkind to Chen Ang, the prefect from the "eunuch party", if it weren't for Chen Ang's several Donglin friends in important positions in the court, he would have been impeached and dismissed by him.

Looking at Chen Ang now, he instantly denied his previous perception, and while feeling that Chen Ang was not afraid of death, he couldn't help but doubt his previous understanding of the "eunuchs".

He didn't know that the so-called "eunuch party" was all falsely accused by those Donglin officials of the officials who had defected to Wei Zhongxian, and he didn't know that seven or eight out of ten eunuch party officials were bent on doing things for the country, but they were bitter to be suppressed by Donglin, and they couldn't stand the fact that those Donglin officials were fighting against the same party, but they didn't ask about political affairs and didn't understand political affairs, so they turned to grit their teeth and vote for Wei Zhongxian, hoping to let go of the help of Wei Gonggong to do something practical for the Ming Dynasty.

However, the success is also Wei Gong, and the defeat is also Wei Gong. There are still many officials like Chen Ang who are bent on doing things for the country, but now they are scolding others for the dirty name of the remnants of the "eunuch party", how many officials like Chen Ang can be lucky enough to make a comeback? Most of them are discouraged and lazy, retreat to the countryside, and don't ask about state affairs anymore.

Shi Dayong and Chen Ang also met several times, put forward some requirements to the other party about the requisition of young and strong guards, and also asked him to come forward to appease the people in the city. After Chen Ang agreed one by one, Shi Dayong raised the issue of Jinzhou's military management to him.

Chen Ang didn't know what this "military management" meant, and Shi Dayong told him that from now on, all the soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City must obey the orders of him and Governor Qiu, and no one's orders will be counted except for the orders of him and Governor Qiu.

Hearing this, Chen Ang was shocked, he was from the prefect of the fourth grade, Shi Dayong was only a general of the third grade, a noble and lowly general, in front of him, the prefect of the fourth grade, Shi Dayong, a general of the third grade, could not give orders to him at all, but had to bow down, and he couldn't even sit on an equal footing

He was able to deign to discuss the affairs of defending the city with Shi Dayong in person, for the safety of Jinzhou and the fate of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, and he didn't want the other party to make an unacceptable demand, which really made him angry.

Qiu Hejia is the governor, so it is natural to obey him, but why should he ask the prefect to obey his orders?

Chen Ang couldn't figure it out, no matter how pragmatic he was, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, this was a matter of his prefect's face, if he agreed to him, it would be rumored that he would go and tell him how to meet people

didn't think about it, and refused angrily: "This official is the prefect of Jinzhou appointed by the imperial court, and although General Shi has the responsibility to defend the land, this official is also duty-bound." You and I have different paths, and we should each keep our duty. It is good to do what you do in your own position, but as for the matter of military management obeying orders, this officer should not have heard of it, and General Shi should do it for himself." He said that the post of "staff general" was very serious, and he got up and wanted to leave.

I didn't want to, but Shi Dayong stretched out his hand to stop him, stared coldly, and said with a grin at the corner of his mouth: "Lord Chen, this general is not discussing with you, nor is he discussing anything with you, but ordering you." Listen clearly, it is an order, this general is now ordering you Jinzhou prefect Chen Ang as a Jinzhou general, that is, from ri, the affairs in Jinzhou City must be reported to this general, otherwise, this general will dismiss you Jinzhou prefect" ()
