Chapter 354: Begin to release goodwill for the opening of the port

Ningbo City was the first big city captured by the Chinese army, and the first thing after entering the city was to immediately pacify the rout and plunder in the city.

Two battalions of soldiers were also assigned to extinguish the fire. Before the rout of this group of routs, there were actually fires in many places, which caused raging fires in many places in the city.

The Huaxia Army couldn't ignore it, so it had to help put out the fire while rectifying the routs and scoundrels who took the opportunity to rob.

The soldiers of the three battalions began to occupy the commanding heights everywhere and occupy the city defense.

It was not until the next morning that the fire in the city was completely extinguished and various outposts were erected.

Order began to be restored in the city, and more than a hundred ruffians who took advantage of the opportunity to loot were hanged everywhere as a deterrent.

Because the garrison generals did not notify the Ningbo prefect Lu Lezhi before escaping, this trip was finally captured by the Ming Dynasty's officials!

A prefect and a general sentence were all arrested by the Huaxia army, and these two did not dare to commit suicide and martyrdom, so they were detained in their residence without explanation.

The two of them stared at each other with a long sigh.

The official can't do it, and the punishment must be punished, and the best ending is to be taken away by the emperor and sent back to his hometown.

Lu Lezhi couldn't understand why the offensive of the people was so sharp, and the five thousand defenders didn't even hold it for half a day.

Hu Kang was even more depressed, he wanted to escape, but he brought too much silver, and when he went out, he ran into a rout, and almost all the silver he had fished over the years was gone, which made him want to cry without tears.

Crunchβ€”The door opened, and a swarlet man in an indigo coat and white pants walked in.

He had rune-like lines on his forehead and chin, a long knife at his waist, and leather shoes on his feet, which looked imposing.

The two of them knew that this should be the general of the Tyrants.

Lu Lezhi didn't want to flatter, and so did Hu Kang, although they didn't want to commit suicide and martyrdom, they didn't want to surrender.

An San took off his white gloves with a smile and said: "Two adults, order has been restored in Ningbo City, the chaos has been calmed down, the fire has been extinguished, and those thieves who made trouble have all been taken into custody by our army!"

Our Huaxia army is stationed in Ningbo, just for the convenience of combat, and does not want to disturb the people, except for the garrison of the city and public security, we will not interfere too much in other things!

Two adults, you can work normally in a few days, the entire Ningbo City is not good at our army, I am afraid that the governance is not good, please also maintain one or two! ”

Lu Lezhi was shocked, what this black man means is that they only garrison the army, and the rest of the things are as usual!

After pondering for a while, he found that this seemed to be a thief, and hurriedly refused: "Since your army has already conquered Ningbo City, this lord does whatever you want, the two of us are the generals of the defeated army, and we can do whatever we want!"

"The two adults have misunderstood, your office is going on as usual, and after we finish the battle, we will naturally withdraw from the city!" Ansan said with a smile.

"Evacuate the city?" Lu Lezhi only felt that he had heard a joke.

"That's right!" An San said seriously: "This war is a provocation by your Ming country, and it is a treacherous move to attack our Shuangyu Island garrison first. When the combat goal is completed, our army will retreat! ”

Lu Lezhi and Hu Kang glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.

If this is the case, the guilt of the two of them may be reduced a lot, and then they will be able to take credit for recovering the lost territory.

"And what are your objectives?" Hu Kang asked.

An San was embarrassed: "This is a military secret, I have nothing to say!"

Lu Lezhi hurriedly said: "We understand this matter, it's just ...... It's just that we also have unspeakable secrets! ”

An San waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we won't interfere with you too much, you just give orders as in the past, just give orders, but the city defense and law and order, our army has taken over!" In addition, there is a curfew every night, and if the verdict is made, our army will do it for you. ”

Lu Lezhi's heart was relieved, they maintained the stall in Ningbo City, there was no problem, as long as they did not serve as a hypocrite, they would not be regarded as defecting to the enemy.

At that time, the people of Huang will be treacherous, and the two of them will also have their own rhetoric, anyway, people up and down Ningbo will look at it.

"Then the official will be trusted!" Lu Lezhi hit the snake with a stick, and said with a little temptation: "If you want us to maintain the situation in Ningbo, you can, but you have to agree to a few conditions."

"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"

"One, thy army shall not plunder. Second, your army shall not be paid. Third, your army is not allowed to levy people! If your army does not agree to these three articles, I will never come forward. Lu Lezhi actually put up a shelf.

An San smiled: "I promise you all these conditions!"

"In that case, the two of us will be reluctantly embarrassed!" When the two of them are bowed, they are reasonable and easy to speak, so they are naturally happy to deal with each other.

The Huaxia Army also needs the two of them to come forward to maintain the stability of Ningbo City, and it is also a kind of goodwill.

After all, the purpose of the Eastern Qin was not to occupy these places, and the early resumption of normal trade and people's livelihood in Ningbo would be beneficial and harmless to the Eastern Qin.

What's more, in Zhenhai, the Huaxia Army has established the Ningbo Customs and began to prepare for the treaty port.

In the future, it is indispensable to deal with Zhejiang officials, so if you show enough goodwill now, it will be easier to do things in the future.

…………

When the news of the fall of Hangzhou and Ningbo came, Zhejiang Sansi had already made enough psychological preparations.

From the marching routes of the Tianyu people, they knew the intention of the Huang people to attack Ningbo, but they could not do anything.

Liu Daxia was still anxiously waiting for the transfer of troops, but the transfer of people and horses from all over the country could only be described as turtle speed.

Fortunately, the imperial court issued an order, gave him a certain amount of convenience again, and announced that a group of imperial tomb defenders were transferred from Fengyang.

When the Huang people were attacking like the wind, Emperor Hongzhi also felt that he had lost face, and felt that if he couldn't defeat the Huang people for a while, then the Ming Dynasty would be swept away.

And Ningbo Jiancheng was once again vulnerable in front of the Huang people, which also verified Liu Daxia's opinion.

I heard rumors from the rout that the people of the city must use artillery to attack the city. Therefore, in front of the black people, the strong city is like tofu, which will be broken when stabbed.

This shows that sticking to the fortified city is the way to die, and the only way is to seek opportunities in the field to be able to fight an ambush war!

As long as you can destroy a few hundred soldiers, it is a great victory.

In fact, in another time and at the beginning of the 17th century, with the continuous improvement of cannon technology, the traditional city walls became more and more defenseless.

The introduction of Hongyi cannons at the end of the Ming Dynasty was actually one of the reasons for accelerating the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

The Hongyi cannon is stronger than the Franc cannon in defending the city, and can be more effective in siege warfare.

The Ming Dynasty tried its best to introduce Hongyi artillery, but did not expect the Qing Dynasty to have such a strong learning ability, and when Kong Youde and Geng Jingzhong defected to the enemy and brought advanced cannon casting technology, the Qing army's artillery was faintly overwhelmed by the Ming army in terms of quantity and quality.

This also led to the defeat of the army so quickly, and Li Zicheng was also very unlucky, taking the fortified city of Tongguan as an example, in the absence of Hongyi cannons, I am afraid that it can hold on for a long time.

However, the Qing army attacked Tongguan, mobilized Hongyi artillery three times, and directly used cannonballs to smash this traditional fortified city little by little.

Although the invading army was also brave, it was difficult to defeat the firearms Qing army. At that time, the tactics of the Qing army to attack the invading army were to use artillery to blast the formation of the invading army, and then use heavy cavalry to stick to the face, which was tried and tested repeatedly.

And now in the face of the soldiers, the Ming army in the southeast half of the wall obviously lacks field combat capabilities, and can only sit and wait for death, and the only advantage of fortifying the city is also scattered in the artillery fire.

This made Liu Daxia quite depressed, and he only wanted to wait for the troops to be gathered, and then seize the opportunity to ambush.

It's just that Zhejiang Sansi has been a little desperate, Ningbo is Ke, the next is Shaoxing, Shaoxing has no danger to defend, and in an instant, the people can come to the city of Hangzhou.

They didn't know how long they would have to gather the troops, but they felt that in a month, they were afraid that the soldiers would have to come to the city.

"Talk, only talk! Whether the people want to open the port and mutual market, or compensate, we must give! Otherwise, if it hits Hangzhou, it will be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River! Lin Fu is no longer thinking about his personal future, and now he can guarantee that he will not be convicted, so he can say a word of luck.

Li Zan also said: "It is true that they can't fight anymore, the people of the Yellow people plundered the gentry along the way, brutally harmed the people, and raided their homes and destroyed the door at every turn, Ningbo at this moment is bound to be hell on earth, and then let them enter Hangzhou, how should the people of this city deal with themselves?"

Liu Daxia sighed and said: "Right now, the imperial court has already made a resolution, and the people are so rampant, it is no longer a matter of Zhejiang Province!"

"Lord Governor!" Lin Fu hurriedly said: "What if the troops are gathered?" The offensive of the people is like the wind, and the fortified city of Ningbo is broken in an instant, unless the border army is transferred, it is possible to fight! ”

"Have you ever thought about why the three ministers of the cabinet, including the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, suddenly supported Zhejiang's gathering of troops to fight, and the household department even directly allocated silver?" Liu Daxia asked rhetorically.

Lin Fu thought for a while, looked at Liu Daxia and said, "It's nothing more than a black man, and he has already threatened the country!"

Liu Daxia sneered: "Your Majesty has already issued an order to transfer five thousand Fengyang defenders!" If I don't win a battle now, my Ming will lose face, and then the entire Guangdong, Fujian, Zhejiang, Shandong, and even the Beijing Division will be exposed to the soldiers of the Huang people! If the people can enter Zhejiang, can't they land from Tianjin and enter Beijing? ”

Lin Fumeng was shocked for a while, and then he reacted, and the Jingshi was quite close to the sea. That is to say, if the people of eastern Zhejiang give up eastern Zhejiang, they will go straight to Beijing. So can the fortified city of Jingshi withstand the thunderous blow of the black people?

Therefore, although Zhedong is corrupt at present, it must thwart the arrogance of the people.

Li Zan also nodded in agreement, this is no longer a matter of personal future, it is already related to the Ming Dynasty's country.

Liu Daxia looked at the north worriedly, and felt very uncomfortable: "At the moment, we can only barely support it, and after the troops are gathered, the old man will personally fight with the Huang people!" In the face of the Tyrants, the fortified city is no longer defendable, only seize the opportunity to fight with the Tyrants, as long as you can destroy a few hundred Tyrants, it will be considered a big victory! ”

Ma Wensheng on the side said: "That is the case, it is better to arrange in advance, when I was an official in Ningbo, I knew that there was a place called Che Stable Mountain, where the waterway is guarded, the terrain is dangerous, and it is a good place for ambush!" When I took office, there were bandits entrenched at the top of me. ”

Liu Daxia thought about it, since the fortified city could not be defended, it was better to deploy troops on dangerous transportation arteries.

In the defeat of losing three cities in a row, Zhejiang Wenwu finally reached a consensus and gave up the strategy of sticking to the fortified city.
