Although the light cavalry Jian Cong was naturally fast, although he set off a day later than Zhang Shize and Huang Degong's army, Sun Chuanting arrived at Shanhaiguan first, and then stayed for a while, waiting for the imperial court's order.

During his time at Shanhaiguan, Sun Chuanting was not idle, while ordering Shanhaiguan to vacate the camp for the army, prepare grain baggage, recruit grain carriers, and prepare for the expedition, and at the same time began to check Liaodong intelligence to understand the current Liaodong war situation.

In the previous period, although Sun Chuanting was the governor of Jiliao, including the troops, he devoted all his attention to dealing with the main force of the Eight Banners that entered the pass and plundered, and his understanding of the situation in Liaodong outside the pass was limited to the Liaodong war report received.

At that time, Huang Taiji led the main force of Jiannu to ravage the territory and slaughter all the prefectures and counties of Gyeonggi, not only Sun Chuanting, but also the energy of the entire Ming court was occupied by the Jiannu who entered the customs, and did not have much mind to care about the specific situation of the war in Liaodong.

And now, when he is about to lead his troops out of the customs, it is natural to know what the situation in Liaodong is now.

After reading the current information of Liaodong in detail, Sun Chuanting Fang was surprised, and he was shocked to find that the situation in Liaodong was so good, unprecedentedly good!

Sun Chuanting was shocked to find that since Zhou Yuji led his army to attack Lushun and opened the curtain of the Liaodong Campaign, the Ming army in Liaodong had captured dozens of castles and occupied most of the territory of Liaodong except Liaoyang and Shenyang.

Jin, Fu, Gai, Hai Liaonan four prefectures, Zhenjiang, Fengcheng, Kuandian and other Dingliao Youwei Castle, and even the old nest of Jiannu Hetuala, as well as the entire Jianzhou were captured by the Ming army of Liaodong.

Now Jiannu is left with only the two big cities of Liaoyang and Shenyang, as well as a few castles in the plains. Judging from the territory captured, it is an unprecedented victory!

Turf is only one aspect, the most important thing is that the Liaodong Ming army won big victories again and again against the Jiannu left-behind army, which can be called a classic battle.

The strategy of three fictions and one reality, with Zhou Yuji, Cao Wenzhao, and Liu Xingzuo's three-way partial division, successfully attracted most of the remaining troops of Jiannu, and Lu Xiangsheng led 30,000 elite Janissaries to attack Kuandian through North Korea, and attacked Jianzhou for hundreds of miles. This series of battles achieved brilliant victories and demonstrated Lu Xiangsheng's strong command level. Sun Chuanting asked himself, if he was in Lu Xiangsheng's position, he might not be able to win such a big victory.

How much territory to occupy is not too important, the important thing is that after a series of battles, the strength of Jiannu has been greatly weakened, according to the battle report, up to now, the Ming army in Liaodong has killed nearly 20,000 Jiannu and left behind in the banner!

The total of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is only 60,000 or 70,000 bannermen, and it is absolutely nerve-wracking to be killed so much.

And this is only the number of beheaded Jiannu bannermen, as for the number of Jiannu women and children who were killed, it is not counted at all.

Anyway, Zhenjiang, Kuandian, and even the entire Jianzhou are now almost in ruins, and the women and children living there have either been killed or plundered to Phi Island.

And the same is true of the Liaoshen area, the remaining Jiannu banner Ding turtle retreated in Shenyang, Liaoyang two fortified cities, completely abandoned the vast plain, Cao Wenzhao, Liu Xingzuo each led the army is galloping across the Liaohe Plain, everywhere to attack and destroy the Jiannu villages, killing the Jiannu women and children, the huge Liaohe Plain, now everywhere is full of wolf smoke and war. No one knows how many of the women and children of Jiannu living in the Liaoshen Plain were killed by the Ming army.

And along with the killing, countless Liao people were rescued. After the fall of Liaodong that year, millions of Liao people living in Liaodong were either slaughtered by Jiannu or fled to Liaoxi Phi Island, and hundreds of thousands of people survived in Liaodong, all of whom were treated as coated slaves by Jiannu and lived a life inferior to pigs and dogs.

And now, after a full ten years of the fall of Liaodong, these Liao people have finally been rescued, and they are either sent to Liaoxi on Phi Island, or they are organized into the Guiyi Army, and are assisting the Ming army in Liaodong to conquer the city.

According to the notification just received from Liaodong Jinglu, more rescued Liao people will bypass Liaoyang City and come to Liaoxi for resettlement. These rescued Liao people are all from between Liao and Shen, Lu Xiangsheng took precautions, and had long been worried that the main force of Jiannu would retreat from the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and had sent these Liao people to Liaoxi in batches.

According to the report, the first batch of Liao people, about 7,000 people, is about to cross the Liao River and enter the territory of western Liao. As the governor of Jiliao, Sun Chuanting had the responsibility of relocating these Liao people. In the cold winter, the weather is cold and freezing, and once the placement is not good, I am afraid that there will be many casualties.

The main force of Jiannu is about to return, and the Liaodong War is approaching, but there are countless Liao people who need to be resettled, and the affairs can be described as complicated.

The stakes were so high that as the governor of Jiliao, Sun Chuanting had to quickly lead his troops to Liaodong to support Lu Xiangsheng in the battle. But the Liao people who came to western Liaoning one after another also had to be resettled. After careful consideration, Sun Chuanting wrote a letter and sent someone to Beijing for 800 miles in an expedited manner, asking the imperial court to quickly send a senior official to western Liaoning to take charge of the resettlement of the Liao people.

Then, on the day he received the order from the imperial court to send troops, Sun Chuanting led the army out of Shanhaiguan and headed towards Liaoyang City through Liaoxi.

Over the years, Liaoxi has been controlled by the Ming army, and Jiannu has gone as far as Ningyuan. There are perfect road posts in western Liaoning, and there are many fortresses between Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan.

The army marched all the way, and it did not need to carry much food and grass, and the castles along the way could provide it, so the speed was extremely fast. However, after Ningyuan, the number of castles was very small, and there was only one Jinzhou City left in the northeast of Ningyuan, and the required grain and grass had to be escorted by the people's auxiliaries.

The army went all the way to the northeast, and when it crossed the Daling River to reach Guangning, Sun Chuanting finally met the first batch of Liao people who had migrated to Guangning.

As far as the eye could see, thousands of people were walking on the snow, their faces were hurried and sluggish, and the cries of children could be heard from time to time.

Men or mule carts and wagons loaded with grain pots and pans, women and children sat on the wheels, and many more people did not have a cart to sit on, and trekked hard through the snow, and from time to time some people fell to the ground and staggered to their feet.

The cold winter and the hundreds of miles of trekking, for many ordinary people, have reached the limit, so Sun Chuanting did not see the joy of being rescued from Jiannu on their faces at all, but more at a loss, and fearful of the future.

"The last general of the Dongjiang guerrilla Liu Xingji visited the Supervisor!"

Just when Sun Chuanting was pondering, a military general came to Sun Chuanting and saluted respectfully, "The last general is ordered by Lu Jingliu to lead 500 troops to escort the rescued Liao people to Liaoxi." ”

"Tell me about your mission and the current situation in Liaodong." Sun Chuanting said. Although I learned a lot from the military newspaper, it was better to listen to the people who came back from Liaodong with my own ears.

"Tell you, the situation is very good now!" Liu Xingji said excitedly.

"Lu Jingluo attacked the city of Shenyang, the Jiannu in the city of Shenyang was so frightened that he didn't dare to go out of the city at all, Lu Jingluo was dividing his troops to attack Tieling Kaiyuan, General Cao Wenzhao and my eldest brother Liu Xingzuo were leading troops to attack Liaoyang and Shenyang, and they had captured hundreds of Tun villages, rescued countless Liao people, and organized them into a Guiyi camp.

The number of people in the Guiyi camp was increasing every day, which affected the speed of the march, and Lu Jingluo ordered that in addition to the young and strong Liao people who could ride horses, other Liao people also had materials seized from Jiannutun Village to be sent to western Liaoning for resettlement in batches. The last general was ordered to escort the first batch of rescued Liaomin, and there were many more batches to follow. ”

"What about the losses along the way, did Liaoyang City Jiannu send troops to intercept it?" Sun Chuanting continued to ask.

Liu Xingji said: "The loss is not big, more than 7,000 people set off, and less than 100 people died along the way. As for the Jiannu in Liaoyang City, Zhou Zongbing and Cao Zongbing stationed troops outside Liaoyang City, and they didn't dare to go out of the city at all. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, he knew that Liu Xingji was talking about Zhou Yuji and Cao Bianjiao, both of whom were generals of the Praetorian Guard Army and heroes of the Battle of Liaodong!

"Master, where are these people settled?" Liu Xingji asked hopefully. Along the way, the journey was extremely difficult, so send these Liao people to the morning as soon as possible.

The officials of the imperial court responsible for the resettlement of the Liao people have not yet arrived in Liaoxi, and as the governor of Jiliao, Sun Chuanting naturally has to take responsibility, but fortunately, he has already planned it.

According to the current situation, I am afraid that the number of Liao people who have been sent to western Liaoning will be more than 200,000, and the narrow area of western Liaoning will not be able to accommodate so many people at all.

However, the area of Jibei in Qian'an suffered from the massacre of Jiannu, and the northern wall of Jibei was plundered by the Mongols for hundreds of miles, and many places were killed empty, just to settle these Liao people.

And these Liao people did not come empty-handed, after the Ming army of Liaodong conquered Jiannutun Village, in addition to gold, silver, horses and necessary food, the remaining materials were distributed to these Liao people, Qirentun Village has a large number of livestock, almost every Liao people have an ox cart or mule cart, carrying a large number of living materials, so it will save a lot of trouble for them to settle.

"In this way, I'll give you a warrant, and you can take them to Qian'an County." Sun Chuanting thought about it and commanded.

Qian'an had just been slaughtered by Jiannu, and before withdrawing from the border wall, Jiannu slaughtered Qian'an City and its vicinity, most of the people were killed, and the young and strong were plundered to slavery outside the gate. The entire Qian'an County originally had a population of 40,000 or 50,000, and the thousands of Liao people escorted by Liu Xingji were not enough to make up for it.

As for the displaced people who came later, they could be placed in the castles of Jibei such as Zunhua Santun Camp, and there was no problem in placing 50,000 or 60,000 people, and the rest could be placed in the nearest Liaoning, or in Haizhou, Fuzhou, Gaizhou, Jinzhou and other four prefectures in southern Liaoning.

Now the Ming Dynasty has achieved an overwhelming advantage over Jiannu, and the strength of Jiannu has been weakened to the extreme, and in a few years or even ten years, I am afraid that there is no ability to take the initiative to attack the Ming Dynasty. These rescued Liao people can be placed in the above places.

The specific resettlement method has been proposed by Sun Chuanting in the note to the imperial court, just waiting for the approval of the imperial court, and the first thing Sun Chuanting has to do now is to quickly lead the army to Liaoyang and participate in the next battle.

Huang Taiji led the main force of Jiannu to rush back to Shenyang soon, can Lu Xiangsheng's troops withstand Huang Taiji's attack? Now I have to rush to the aid as soon as possible!

Two days later, the army crossed the Liao River, arrived at Niuzhuang Station, and met a group of Liao people who moved to western Liao, the number of which exceeded 10,000, and among the Liao people here, there were more than 1,000 banner people, most of whom were women and girls and girls, and there were no banner men and men.

The women and children of the Liao people were tired and had ox carts to sit on, but these women and children of the banner people could only follow on foot in the snow, and if they walked slowly, they would be whipped.

Sun Chuanting saw with his own eyes that a young banner woman was holding a two- or three-year-old girl in her arms, perhaps too tired, just sitting in the snow to rest, an escort soldier walked over, whipped down fiercely, and suddenly knocked the flag woman to the ground, the child in her arms fell on the snow, and immediately cried, and the flag woman was full of tears, but she didn't dare to cry, just stepped forward and held the child in her arms, let the soldier whip.

"Adults, don't think that flag woman is pitiful, this is their own fault, it would be good to spare her life." Qianhu, who was in charge of the escort, was reporting to Sun Chuanting, and seeing Sun Chuanting's unswerving face, he hurriedly said.

"My lord, the soldier who beat the man is named Mu Wu, and he is a clothed village in Jiannutun Village," Qianhu pointed to the soldier and said, "Mu Wu's family was originally a military household in Shenyang, and after the old slave captured Shenyang, he was slaughtered, and Mu Wu's father and brother were killed, and Mu Wu and his young sister survived and served as a coat for a banner man Niu Lu.

Mu Wu farmed for Master Niu Lu in the village, and his sister was forced to become the concubine of the banner people, but because she angered the flag people's housewife, she was beaten to death with a stick, and Mu Wu was timid and afraid, so he could only bury his sister hastily. Later, Mu Wu married the daughter of the Zhuang family, who knew that on the night of the wedding, the old man Niu Lu sent someone to rob Mu Wu's newlywed wife, and sent it back the next day.

Mu Wu and the banner people have a deep hatred like the sea, but they are timid and dare not resist. It wasn't until our army invaded Liaodong that General Cao Wenzhao led the cavalry to break through Tuncun, Mu Wu stood up and rushed into Niu Lu's house, wanting to kill Niu Lu's whole family, if I didn't arrive in time, even this young banner woman could not spare her life, this flag woman was Niu Lu's daughter-in-law, and in the past, Mu Wu was called like a cow and a horse, and she was beaten and scolded at every turn.

General Cao saw that Mu Wu was still bloody, so he recruited him into the Guiyi camp. ”

"The cause of the past is the fruit of today, the people of Liao have been oppressed for more than ten years, and it is normal to take revenge." Sun Chuanting nodded.

The Jiannu Banner people now mainly live in the Liaohe Plain, with more than sixty percent of the population between Liao and Shen, at least hundreds of thousands of people, and now the Ming army has invaded between Liao and Shen and plundered hundreds of Banner People Tun Village, from Mu Wu's attitude towards this Banner Man woman, you can know what will happen to hundreds of thousands of Banner People.

Sun Chuanting is an orthodox literati and the commander of the army, and he is well versed in the principle that mercy is not in charge of the army. Although I can't bear to do this, I won't care about it. Again, everything is cause and effect, and everything is self-inflicted!
