In Jinzhou City, the Ming army has surrounded three sides, and there is still that gap in the north.

In a side hall of the imperial city, the regent of the Great Qing Kingdom, Dolgon and Zilharang, gathered together. Zierharang sighed: "Bachelor Feng is estimated to have been detained, Huchen doesn't want to talk about it this week!" ”

The Feng scholar mentioned by Jierharang is Feng Quan, this Feng Quan is a Jinshi in the Wanli period, and later entered the Shaobao and the crown prince Taibao, Hubu Shangshu, and Wuyingdian University Scholar. Because of his excessive bribery, he was dismissed, because Feng Quan belonged to a member of the eunuch party, Wei Zhongxian was ambushed at the beginning of Chongzhen, Feng Quan talked about the rod apprentice, ransomed for the people, and then repeatedly tried to reinstate the official.

After the Qing army settled the capital of Beijing, in order to rule the Han people, the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, recruited Feng Quan in a letter, restored his rank of university scholar, made him an assistant in the inner court of the Qing court, and awarded the Hongwen Academy a university scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites. This is a cultural person, and at the same time, he is also a person without discipline, such a person is estimated to be unable to enter Zhou Huchen's eyes, but Dolgon is reluctant to send a capable person like Hong Chengchou to die, and Feng Quan has become a substitute for the dead.

Dolgon shook his head gently, even if he was in such an extremely favorable situation, he would not have any peace talks, Feng Quan's life and death did not matter, it was just a faint hope. Only with a sharp knife can he have the right to speak, not to mention that Zhou Huchen has always been a person who does not eat soft and hard, how could Zhou Huchen let go of the opportunity to destroy the Qing court, that is, for the sake of destroying the country's reputation and merit Zhou Huchen will not let go of the Qing Dynasty, Shenyang is already in danger.

"Shengjing can't be defended, it's only a matter of time before it is breached, what does Prince Zheng think if he continues to the north?" The tide was over, and Dolgon closed his eyes, his face very bad.

In fact, you can defend Shenyang, and there is no problem in holding it for a period of time, but the question is how long it can be held, and once Zhou Huchen gives up the siege of Sanque Yi, what should he do with the iron bucket in the enclosure of Shenyang City? The only way left is to go north. The hometown of Hetuara in the east can't go back, there are mountains and mountains everywhere, which is the foundation of the Jianzhou Jurchen, which is very suitable for recuperation. It's a pity that Zhou Huchen did too much, he not only blocked the banks of the Hunhe River, according to the news from Fushun, the Ming army has set up a huge cannon in front of Fushun City, and it is estimated that Fushun City is now unprotected.

"The northern land is more vast, and it is also suitable for the people to live. You can enter the realm of the former Haixi Jurchen and Beishan Jurchen, but it's a pity that this family business! "Zilharang's opinion is the same as Dolgon's, although Shenyang City is high and thick-walled, but after all, it is a defense, and it can't hold for long, but unfortunately there are too many things to give up, which makes people's hearts ache.

"Except for Hong Chengchou, don't take those Han officials away." Dorgon decided quickly, and he slammed the table hard. In fact, this decision made him feel very powerless.

"Mr. Fan and Mr. Ning's earliest demotions still have to be taken away, and at the same time, they must also guard against the ambush of the Ming army in the north, prepare early, and when the time comes. The Han people in Shenyang City are not as good as "Jierharang made a chopping pose.

The materials and population of Shenyang City were left to Zhou Huchen after all, and Jierharang meant to carry out a massacre.

"Defend for a few days, consume those Han people, and at the same time guard some. Then go out of the city, burn what you can, it's too troublesome to kill. Burn it and forget it! "Dolgon is even more vicious, the houses in this era are all brick and wood structures, and a fire will burn Shenyang to the ground, and the materials and people that can't be taken away will be finished, and the city of Shenyang will be finished, which is equivalent to completely giving up and returning to Shenyang.

Zilharang nodded slightly.

……

The coolness of the rain passed quickly, and the earth was scorching again.

Zhou Huchen was not in a hurry to attack, and when he came to Shenyang City, he calmly started to rest again.

The Qing army would not be captured, let alone surrender out of the city, because Zhou Huchen left them a way to retreat, so Zhou Huchen began to arrange slowly, what he needed to do was to slowly consume it, and never attack, that is, to use huge artillery to slowly bombard, and collapse the city wall of Shenyang to exert pressure. The purpose is to take Shenyang lightly and then pursue it again.

The huge cannon of the Ming army pushed up, the head of Shenyang City shook, and the red-coated cannon that had been prepared for a long time began to roar.

Chen Xin watched as the projectile of the red-clothed cannon flew out and then landed, not far from the giant cannon being erected by the Ming army, but unfortunately it was just a little bit close.

Chen Xin is the nephew of Niu Lu Zhangjing Chen Jin, a native of the Han Army Zhenglan Banner, because his uncle Chen Jin was defeated and died in Tianjin, Chen Xin became the successor and became a Niu Lu Zhangjing of the Han Army Banner

, but Chen Xin is not a cavalryman or a soldier, he is Wuzhen Chaoha.

I have heard that the new red-coated cannon of the Ming army is full of power, but Chen Xin has never seen it since he has been in Shenyang, and today is the first time he has seen the new red-coated cannon of the Ming army.

The Ming army did not place the artillery positions in a conventional way, that is, they did not dig pits, which made Chen Xin very curious, and at the same time faintly fearful, because the Ming army's artillery was erected too quickly. The gun carriage stood still, and then directly began to adjust and fix and reload. This speed is more than ten times faster than erecting a red-coated cannon, and if it really has the same power as the legend, it can attack the city wall without entering the range of the red-coated cannon at the head of the city, it will be terrifying!

The first shelling of the Ming artillery came as scheduled, and the sound of the cannon was like thunder, which was much louder than the sound of the red-coated cannon, just like the thunder in the sky echoed for a long time.

A huge explosion sounded not far from Chen Xin's right side, which shook Chen Xin's ears and buzzed. Sure enough, it was a flowering bomb, and with the sound of the explosion, the city wall trembled violently, and Chen Xin realized that everything was the same as in the legend, this thick one-foot eight-foot city wall was really nothing in front of this kind of giant cannon, and I was afraid that it would not take long to collapse this seemingly impregnable city wall. Shenyang City seems to be unable to hold, as long as the Ming army is willing, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it for a day, without the support of the city wall, relying on the strong military advantage, the Ming army should be easy to take Shenyang.

At the same time that Chen Xin fell into despair, a young Han army officer poked his head out along the horse road: "My lord, there seems to be something wrong with the gunpowder in the gunpowder store, please hurry up and take a look!" ”

Chen Xin frowned, but at the same time, he saw that there seemed to be something wrong with the eyes of this subordinate of the descendant.

"Then I'll take a look." Chen Xin turned around: "Lord Tamu, there seems to be a problem with the gunpowder, I'll take a look." ”

Tamu is also a Niu Lu Zhangjing, but he is the trust of the Eight Banners Niu Lu Zhangjing, responsible for the defense and monitoring of the city, this new Niu Lu Zhangjing is very nervous, he has been staring at the Ming army outside the city, Tamu waved his hand to Chen Xin and agreed.

The gunpowder warehouse was not far from the city, and Chen Xin and the descendant officer hurriedly went down the road to the city, and then entered the warehouse.

"Chen Yuan, what's going on?" Chen Xin knew that it was not the gunpowder that was wrong, because he knew the situation of the gunpowder in the warehouse well, and there would be no problem with the gunpowder.

The officer named Chen Yuan waved his hand to several Han soldiers who were in charge of guarding in front of the warehouse, and several soldiers quickly disappeared. Chen Yuan looked around vigilantly, and then approached Chen Xin: "My lord, the signs in the city don't seem to be good!" (To be continued......)
