Chapter 456: Fight to the Death

Shenyang City is now a big city.

Only the Jiannu people and a small number of important Han Chinese were allowed to live in the city.

Outside the city, most of them are Han Chinese.

These Han people, as soon as they saw the arrival of the army, had already run clean.

This was the first time they realized that Shenyang would also be attacked.

The city was not huge at first.

However, since the Jiannu people occupied this place, they designated this as the capital of 'Dajin', and conveniently used countless looted money, recruited countless craftsmen here, and renovated Shenyang City according to the pattern of Beijing City.

The layout here is not much different from that of Beijing.

In the cold, the snow was falling, and it seemed that every inch of the place was filled with a biting cold.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse rode a horse, and played horses along this place and walked around with Zhang Jing a few times.

The Jiannu people in the city don't seem to have any plans to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

The entire Donglin Army has already begun to build fortifications.

The Jiannu people were newly defeated, and they did not dare to go out of the city at this time, which is actually understandable.

The so-called bravery, to a certain extent, is also based on the fact that the other party is a rookie.

It's like when the Jiannu people found that the Ming army was mostly a group of wine bags and rice bags, so they were all brave and not afraid of death.

But when they realized the strength of the Donglin army, especially half a month ago, when the Ming army could directly give them a head-on blow in the field, and then they wanted the Jiannu people to easily go out of the city to die, this was naturally impossible.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse reined in his horse, admiring the unobstructed snow scene, and couldn't help but say: "Liaodong is thousands of miles away, so fertile, but it's a pity that there is not much grain to grow, otherwise, this place is a granary." ”

It's the truth.

In later generations, this is a big granary, but unfortunately, in this era, there is no real large-scale development in Liaodong, and the vast majority of the land is still for military purposes.

Coupled with the fact that there were not many hardy crops at this time, the grain yield was really a little outrageously low.

Zhang Jingyi was about to say something, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly said, "Zhang Qing...... Now that the Jiannu people are shrinking into the city, how do you think they should break the city? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "Our army is too small to besiege the city, my idea is to directly attack one place, open a gap, and then kill it......"

Zhang Jingyi smiled and shook his head.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi, showing a puzzled look, and couldn't help but say, "What, what do you have in mind?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "The minister is thinking, what should we do after defeating the Jiannu people." After all, the Jiannu people have a population of one million, in this Liaodong. In addition to Jiannu, there are many Mongols in the desert, who are coerced by Jiannu, and many of them are in this city. Why do they want to rebel, and why do they want to fight against my Daming? ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse didn't think about it and said, "Naturally, I was deceived when I saw it." ”

Zhang Jing said: "That's right, when they robbed my Daming and the benefits were far greater than their own efforts, then even if they were temporarily suppressed this year." In other days, they still want to make trouble, this place is the weak point of my Ming rule, even if the Jiannu is destroyed, isn't there still the Mongolian tribes? ”

"Therefore, this battle is not just a decisive battle with the Jiannu people, but also a ...... The war of deterrence, let the people in this land thousands of miles outside the pass know that today, those who are enemies of our Han people will definitely die without a place to be buried! What Jiannu people are less than 10,000 and invincible, in front of our Ming army, it is all a joke. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse bowed: "The battle of deterrence, interesting, you continue." ”

Zhang Jing said: "In fact, the essence of this deterrent battle is to save people. Although they are hundreds of thousands of households here, the population of Liaodong is already thin, once they defeat them, for the imperial court, the tail of the Jiannu people is not big, if they are not convinced, sooner or later they will cause trouble. Then, I will not be able to really plow the court and sweep the holes, and kill all those who refuse to surrender. ”

"So this battle, as long as it is fought happily, it is to save these Jiannu people, once it hurts, it can forever eliminate future troubles, cure all diseases, and from then on they no longer covet the heart of the Central Plains, and are willing to live in harmony with my Ming Dynasty, and there is no slightest delusion, so that the court can be more lenient to the Jiannu people."

Yes, if you don't fight painfully, they will definitely fight back, and in order to prevent it, you have to take a real extermination strategy.

But if you are convinced and honest, the court still has to be face-saving, after all, it is a state of etiquette, and the strategy adopted is naturally restrained.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "How to subdue them?" ”

Zhang Jing said: "Don't worry now, the minister is arranging, and the follow-up supplies have not yet arrived, wait for the steady stream of gunpowder to arrive." Now, you might as well wait for a while, and let the Jiannu people in the city bounce for a few more days. ”

"We can't let them stumble in vain." The Emperor of the Apocalypse smiled, "I need to have a good chat with Dolgon and write a few letters of persuasion." ”

"Ah...... This ......"

Zhang Jingyi didn't expect the Emperor of the Apocalypse to have such a hobby.

However, if you think about it carefully, from ancient times to the present, there is a kind of thinking in people's thinking that is not to be said unpredictably, and Your Majesty is not exempt from vulgarity.

So, Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty's generosity is really admirable, the minister can't do this, and even when Your Majesty is besieging the city, he can still think of curing the sick and saving people, the ancient saints, what Yao Shun and the like, it's probably just like that." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse suddenly said: "Zhang Qing ......"

Zhang Jing said: "Your Majesty also asks for instructions." ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jing with blazing eyes: "You say, how much silver is hidden in this city?" They have looted a lot in the past few decades. ”

Zhang Jingyi could see that the Emperor of the Apocalypse at this moment had a light in his eyes.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Jing said: "The Jiannu people have been up for so many years, and they must have accumulated a lot of savings, I heard that they were also poor in the past, but later, land, grain, silver, and even the annual income, I am afraid that they are not under my Daming." ”

This is definitely not under the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the tax system of the Ming Dynasty is really a wonderful flower, and the people of the Ming Dynasty bear the heaviest taxes, but the taxes received by the country are very few! Where is the money and food?

It's a muddled account.

After listening to Zhang Jingyi's words, the Emperor of the Apocalypse said energetically: "I want to copy the entire Shenyang City!" ”

…………

On the same day, a letter was sent to Shenyang City, and soon the letter was delivered to the Shenyang Palace Palace.

This great hall is the place where the bannermen discuss their affairs, and Dolgon is here, but he does not summon the bannermen.

But at this time, a lot of Hanchen were gathered.

It's not that he relies on these Hanchens, but the banner owners of the banners are already dissatisfied with him, and every time they discuss politics, they quarrel a lot.

On the other hand, these Hanchen, who were born as scholars, admired the way of kings and ministers to the extreme.

What three kneels and nine bows, when you meet someone, you call an adult, that is, call someone a father.

This is what makes Dorgon feel like he is in charge.

At this time, he handed over the letter sent by the Emperor of the Apocalypse to Fan Wencheng.

After Fan Wencheng saw it, he subconsciously frowned, and pondered for a long time before saying, "What does the master think about this?" ”

He couldn't give his opinion lightly, he had to ask Dorgon what he meant, and then follow Dorgon's meaning.

Dolgon said, "I'm asking you." ”

Seeing that Dolgon's face was not good, Fan Wencheng understood, so he said: "I think this Donglin army may not be ready to attack the city, otherwise, the soldiers are very fast, and they would have started to attack a long time ago, why do you need so much verbosity?" He came here to repair the book precisely because he was afraid of you, the master, firstly, to disturb the hearts of the soldiers and civilians in the city, and secondly, to delay time. ”

Dolgon nodded subconsciously, these words were exactly what he wanted to say.

Hong Chengchou, who was on the side, couldn't help but say: "Master, the minister thinks ...... Maybe the faint gentleman is actually using this letter to show weakness? They want to make us realize that they are not ready, and draw us out of the city to fight against them, and then use firearms to win. Now, we are tired and newly defeated......"

"Shut up." Dorgon was furious and snorted.

Hong Chengchou was suddenly so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more.

Fan Wencheng stroked his beard and smiled silently.

After all, Hong Chengchou has just arrived, and he doesn't know the rules here.

You know, here, the master is the sky, where is your turn to disagree? You sing a lot of contradictory songs in the city of Beijing, thinking that it is clever to sing contrarian tunes, but here, if you provoke people, you may really cut off your head.

At this time, he dared to say that the Dajin Iron Cavalry was a tired division, and when he talked about that heart-stopping defeat, isn't this looking for death?

Dolgon reprimanded Hong Chengchou, and then said, "Then, you might as well attack ...... at night."

"Night attack......" Fan Wencheng immediately said: "Master's plan is very clever, if it is a night attack, send an elite army, which is enough to make the Donglin army at the end of this strong crossbow chaotic." ”

Hong Chengchou couldn't help but say: "It's just that the Donglin Army, what they are best at is night raids......"

Dolgon's face was strained, his chest heaving, and a hint of murder in his eyes.

Hong Chengchou seemed to feel something in hindsight, and he only sighed bitterly in his heart, he naturally knew that he was talking too much.

The Jiannu people themselves closed the door, and the banner owners of the banners could quarrel with each other, but as Hanchen, they must not talk at will, and any sentence was very likely to lead to death.

So he hurriedly bowed to the ground and said: "The slave is dead......

Dolgon's face twitched, and he actually showed a kind look, and then said: "The speaker is not guilty, the speaker is not guilty, you don't have to blame yourself, what you said is also reasonable, the Donglin Army is indeed good at night attacks, if it is a night attack...... It may not work out. ...... this way"

Dolgon pondered for a moment before he said: "We can only wait for the military horses from Tieling, Liaoyang, Fushun, Kaiyuan and other places to gallop to help, and we will wait for the change in the city for the time being." In addition, I also need to get a letter back to the Great Enlightened King, and teach him not to deceive people too much. ”
