Xiao Ming stood in the square and told everyone about his plans, and the people below looked at Xiao Ming under the fierce gaze of the Jin soldiers, Xiao Ming's meaning was very clear and very simple, if they were willing to leave, Xiao Ming would let them continue to follow him, and bring their families and property, and those who did not want to leave would stay and continue to manage Liaodong for the Dajin Kingdom, as long as they did not harm the people, Xiao Ming would not blame them, these conditions were all agreed to by Yan Zonghan, the big wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom.

Although Wanyan Zonghan couldn't hold his face, he finally spoke up, and he sent Jin Bing to assist, among the dozen or so officials who were willing to follow Xiao Ming away, Xiao Gan and Wu Yong were the most reluctant talents, but he still acquiesced! The other officials who were willing to stay had their own grievances, and of course no one forced them.

There were more than a dozen officials and family members less than a hundred, escorted by Jin Bing, mixed in the guards and heading towards the west gate, and it was Gu Xiaoliu who ran back and forth to deliver the news, this kid had already run back and forth twice in a row, and he was tired of standing behind Xiao Ming and sticking out his tongue.

This kind of result is already the best result, Xiao Ming sighed secretly in his heart, he has worked hard to run Liaodong for several years, and now all of them are cheap Jinren, this tone seems to be out until later, I hope that Jin Guo can temporarily satisfy his appetite after getting Liaodong, and he will not do it to the Great Song Dynasty immediately.

And his promise to Song Huizong to return Liaodong to Song within five years seems to have some setbacks to be realized, and he still keeps his talents, as long as these talents are retained, then everything can be regained, and the lost things will be snatched back.

Qian Baguang picked up the departing crowd and slowly withdrew from Tokyo City, his artillery was left at the end, the muzzle of the gun was outward, and all the personnel were temporarily evacuated to the Dongliang battalion, waiting for Xiao Ming's convergence, and those guards soon received weapons in the arsenal, although there were not many rifles, but there was no shortage of bows, crossbows, sabers and grenades, and those who were not equipped were all kicked by Qian Baguang and kicked him as artillery.

When the last personnel were withdrawn, the soldiers came to report, and Wanyan Zonghan looked at Xiao Ming and said, "They are all gone, now you can hand over that thunder bomb, right?" ”

"Now that they haven't gone far, you sent cavalry to chase after them, didn't they catch them all? Don't worry, since I promised you, I won't go back, you can follow me, know that my people are safe, and I will teach you the thunder bomb! “

Wanyan Zonghan had no choice but to agree, but he didn't expect Xiao Ming to walk in the air, Xiao Ming, Gu Xiaoliu, Wu Song and others climbed into the frame of the balloon, and the two tiger guards who died were also carried in, Wu Song operated the balloon to rise, and slowly flew out of the city at a distance of ten zhang from the ground.

Jin Bing followed the follower with his neck tilted at the bottom, the distance was so high that the bow and arrow could not be shot, so he could only follow from a distance, for fear of losing it, Xiao Ming did not stop after Qian Baguang and others converged, and continued to go south, for the sake of safety, Xiao Ming decided to advance to the Jinzhou area and join Yelu Yungu.

Jinzhou is still the shipbuilding base in Liaodong, and the Hongshan people are also there, these people can't stay in Liaodong, as for the base in Lushun should be in the hands of Huwei now, it is a military fortress, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is still safe for the time being, so Xiao Ming needs to withdraw the resources around Jinzhou.

Many mineral deposits in Liaodong can no longer be asked for at present, and it is basically good to be able to maintain them, but large-scale iron ore mining and gold mining can only be stopped, the mining area needs to be destroyed, the ore that has been mined must be transported away, and the iron ore in the Jinzhou area in particular must be closed, and a large number of Jin and Goryeo soldiers can only be let go.

All this will take time to complete, for Jin Guo, the time they give Xiao Ming will definitely not be too long, and they will definitely have their hands free to deal with Xiao Ming at that time, and this time will be returned soon.

The first is the evacuation of personnel, more than a dozen officials evacuated from Liaodong to Weihai in Shandong, where to settle first, Xiao Ming organized a large number of ships to transport ore and machinery and equipment, and some urgent materials are also being rushed, at this time the Hongshan people's clippers came in handy, and the time it took to run Weihai and come back was almost half of that of other merchant ships.

The mechanics and equipment of the shipyard also need to be transported, and a large number of technicians in the glass factory and cement factory need to be withdrawn, but at this time, news came that Jin Bing sent the general Huyu Habre from Tokyo to lead an army of 20,000 to approach Jinzhou, because Xiao Ming did not hand over the thunder bomb to Yan Zonghan in the end, and the wolf lord who was fooled was annoyed and angry!

Yelu Yungu led 10,000 cavalry to retreat to Lushun, and the troops left in the Panjin area of Jinzhou are only three or four thousand, this person is still brought out by Han Shizhong and more than 1,000 guards, it is obviously not so easy to stop the 20,000 cavalry of Huyu Habre, fortunately, Xiao Ming has backup.

This backup is the tiger guard of the Weihai base, the cavalry of less than 1,000 people brought out by Han Shizhong was arranged by Xiao Ming to go to the Weihai base, but more than 2,000 tiger guards were sent by boat, and these guards were recruits who had just been trained in rotation from Hangzhou to Weihai.

It was the latest large Mauser gun produced by Ding Jianpeng's arsenal, and the barrel of this batch of rifles had been improved and lengthened, because Gu Shouzhen's iron factory was now able to use steam-powered rolling mills, and the strength of the steel had been further enhanced.

This is also the last batch of this model of rifle in Hangzhou Arsenal, and the latest model of nine-millimeter rifle has been successfully developed, and it can be mass-produced by the workers' assembly line immediately, and this is the standard jointly customized by Xiao Ming and Ding Jianpeng.

In terms of artillery, in addition to the few 90-millimeter cannons that still exist in Qian Baguang's hands, the arsenal has made a comprehensive adjustment in the manufacture of artillery, and the original artillery is all placed on the city defense in various places, while the arsenal focuses on producing all small-caliber infantry guns, just like the ones in Qian Baguang's hands.

The Huwei who came with the ship did not bring artillery, but brought the latest rifles and grenades, and the original two cannons on the city defense of Jinzhou were also removed, and Qian Baguang now has only six cannons in his hand, except for the limited ammunition of large-caliber howitzers, the ammunition of infantry guns is sufficient.

More than 2,000 cooperate with each other and more than 1,000 guards are all the troops at Xiao Ming's hands, and the task of blocking the Jin soldiers is handed over to them, and the purpose of Han Shizhong's stay is that Xiao Ming wants him to lead this army, in the war dominated by all firearms, it is not possible to have a suitable general, in addition to Yang Qizhong, who is proficient in this aspect, Xiao Ming also wants to cultivate Han Shizhong.

Huwei also brought letters from Hangzhou Su Cai'er and Shen Bei'er, Xiao Ming had informed them of everything that happened in Liaodong, and the two ladies were very worried about him, hoping that he would withdraw to Shandong as soon as possible, or withdraw to Hangzhou, and said that his son Yun'er had been able to climb, which made Xiao Ming really uncomfortable, but the current thing was not good, so how could he go home with peace of mind.

The retreat of Jinzhou has been going on, and there are merchant ships coming in and out of the civil port of Yingkou every day, and at this time, the Jin soldiers of Huyu Habre also arrived under the city of Jinzhou, in order to completely drive away Xiao Ming this time, Wanyan Zonghan also used the cannons left in Tokyo, and those cannons were removed from the city, and they were loaded and transported to deal with Xiao Ming.

Huyu Habre despised these things, and he thought that a true Jurchen warrior had to rely entirely on his own war horse and long sword to defeat the enemy, so how could he hide in the distance and use such a long-distance explosion to fight? What's more, the people who operated these things were still those who surrendered to the Dongdan army, so he didn't wait for these cannons at all, but led the army to come with light horses.

After Huyu Haburye, who wanted to rely on his war horse and long knife to fight for force, arrived in Jinzhoucheng, he immediately began the siege battle, but was attacked head-on by the thousands of guards and tiger guards who defended the city.

The two sides finally carried out a twelfth-century firearms bombardment in Jinzhou City, because they used large-caliber cannons, so the harm caused was also the greatest, Xiao Ming's guards finally suffered heavy casualties, and the casualties of the Jin soldiers were greater, but in comparison, the Jin soldiers did not understand that the cannon needed ammunition support, so they carried very little ammunition, and there was no supply, and there was no one shot when they used up a shot, and the more they fought, the less they fought.

And Xiao Ming has supplies here, and there is Qian Baguang, who is proficient in handling artillery, and after a few rounds, the ten cannons brought by Jin Bing were destroyed by Qian Baguang, and Jin Bing used the cannons in large quantities at one time before he found that he had no ammunition, and Jinzhou City at this time was already full of holes!

After the Jin soldiers did not have shells, they still did not besiege the city, but sent people from Tokyo to pull ammunition over, but they did not know that there were not many ammunition reserves in Tokyo City, and the real ammunition depot had been emptied by Xiao Ming, but Xiao Ming evacuated all the residents and troops from Jinzhou City in this gap.

He is ready to use another tactic, that is, positional warfare, through Han Shizhong's suggestion, he is ready to use suspicious soldiers to attract a small group of golden soldiers to come out, and then rely on the advanced weapons of the Guards and Tiger Guards to annihilate them, and eat more than 20,000 golden soldiers one by one.

The plan was very successful, basically through the strategy of suspicious soldiers, more than 1,000 Jin soldiers could be eliminated each time, and the Jin soldiers who transported ammunition could not cause much damage to the entire Jinzhou when they used their cannons, and their cannons were also locked in the ruler of the infantry artillery after leaving the city, so as not to be blown up.

Hu Yu Habre was furious and ordered to rely on the advantage of numbers to attack the city again, but with the support of thousands of rifles and artillery fire, a large number of Jin soldiers were killed, Rao is his discipline, but if he continues to fight, it is possible that his army will either flee or mutiny! In desperation, he could only withdraw his troops in disgrace.

The siege of Jinzhou was temporarily relieved, but the larger-scale Jin soldiers would still come to attack, time was not waiting, Xiao Ming increased the intensity of retreat, so more merchant ships appeared in the harbor outside Yingkou, and there were constantly ships of the Great Song Dynasty, along the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea, the channel was almost lined up, and the route was extremely busy.

These ships came from Shandong, Hangzhou, Quanzhou and Guangzhou, and even from Goryeo, and they took the opportunity to absorb a lot of cheap resources, which can be said to have made a small fortune, and Xiao Ming couldn't take care of these anymore, as long as he could transport the materials piled up in the port as soon as possible.

Originally, it was only transported to Weihai and Hangzhou, but later, as long as the money was paid, it could be transported anywhere, and it was not until all the things that should be transported away were shipped away that Xiao Ming's final retreat order was issued......
