Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 419 Under Shanyang City
The heavy snow in Liaodong came very quickly, and within two or three days, it was almost submerged to the knees.

Li Yingren also understood that in such weather, let alone killing the enemy, it would be very difficult for him to survive.

Simply, he directly asked people to count the population near Ninghai City.

The former Jinzhou Guard, as one of the four guards in southern Liaoning, was surrounded by the sea on three sides, close to Shandong, rich in commercial fish and salt, and registered first among the guards in Eastern Liaoning.

Today, according to a rough count, the population of Ninghai is only over [-] when combined with the materials of the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.

If the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty and their families are excluded, there are no more than 20,000 people.

There are more women than men, more young people and fewer old people.

The reason why there were no common people, that is, self-cultivating farmers, was because at the moment when Nurhachi captured Liaodong, all Han and Korean people in Liaodong automatically obtained the status of coated slaves.

Only some surrendered troops can become the Eight Banners of Han Dynasty.

As a semi-slave society, the way for the Eight Banners nobles to demonstrate their power is to compete for the number of coats under their hands.

Millions of Liaodong people, that is, millions of coats.

Baozi does not have the right to serve as a soldier.

"Southern Liaoning is rich and rich!" Shi Jizu said, "Many Qing dignitaries owned land here, and the slave chieftains also valued the supply of sea trade."

As he spoke, he took out a stack of letters, which were all records of business contacts.

"How many soldiers can these 20,000 people get?"

Li Yingren shook his head and asked directly.

"They are all obedient citizens, and you have to help them cheer up!"

Shi Jizu showed a smile.

"However, if it goes well, we can get 4000 people."

"it is good--"

Immediately, Li Yingren set off again with the large team.

This time, there are many Han Eight Banners accompanying them.

"Call everyone!"

When they came to a farm, many ignorant Bao Yi were forced to come.

And those who greeted them were more than a hundred Han Eight Banners.

"Everyone comes up and stabs—"

As he spoke, Li Yingren threw out five Han Eight Banners to stand in the center.

Called a few times, but no one answered.

It was obviously fear to the bone.

"A group of coats, who dares to touch me? When the army comes, they will raid your house and wipe out your family, hahahaha——"

A wild laughter sounded, and one of them was trembling, his face was flushed, and his face was full of fear.

"If you don't kill them, I will kill you—"

Li Yingren said harshly: "You don't need to wait for the Manchus to come, we will directly wipe out all your villages."

At this moment, a certain old man came tremblingly, raised the knife tremblingly, and as soon as he raised it, Li Yingren held it down with one hand, and directly stabbed the clamorer's thigh.

"continue--"

Now, the soldiers are pulling one by one, as long as they are adults, they will never let go.

The speed immediately became much faster.

The five people were riddled with wounds and died miserable lives.

The villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at Li Yingren with fear and fear in their eyes.

Who knows, Li Yingren still refused to let them go: "I'll cut them all!"

Immediately, the chickens fly like dogs.

Hundreds of coats wept together, desperate for their future.

Then Li Yingren said: "I'm so afraid, starting from today, you are no longer Baoyi, and the land here belongs to you."

"Even if it's full of people, I have a boat to take you away."

"If you kill the Eight Banners and cut your braids, the Manchus will definitely not spare you, why don't you join our army..."

After some measures and preaching, many people were forced to join the army.

With these hundreds of people from the Eight Banners, Li Yingren walked around Ninghai City.

After cutting a circle of braids, there were also [-] more soldiers and horses, which made Li Yingren overjoyed.

He was ambitious and wrote a letter to Phi Island. As long as there are more weapons, it is by no means wishful thinking to subvert the empty Liaodong.

……

At this time, outside Shanyang City, a hundred thousand troops surrounded Huai'an Fucheng.

As a crucial node, Jierhalang would never let go.

However, considering the loss along the way and the loss of time, he still went to the letter.

Still use the king as a routine to lure Li Jingwu to surrender.

Back then, Wu Sangui was also fooled by Dorgon, and the prince sealed the land and persuaded him to open Shanhaiguan.

Of course, after Wu Sangui strangled Yongli to death, he finally became a prince.

Li Jingwu, as the ruler of the Yellow Sea, was responsible for the deployment of the entire Huaibei army. For the Qing Dynasty, he not only had a huge appeal, but also knew the Yellow Sea area like the palm of his hand.

Once it surrenders, considering its chain reaction, it is very likely that it will easily go south to the Huaihai area, and the Manchu Qing will not suffer from the siege.

"General, there are too many princes!"

Shang Kexi cupped his hands and said: "It's really not worth it to be crowned a prince with only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses."

Jierhalang glanced at Shang Kexi's expressions, and immediately understood their thoughts:
"As long as Nanjing can be won, what is the prince?"

"You have to know that there are a lot of castles in the south of Shanyang City."

Hearing this, Shang Kexi and the others couldn't help but feel a twinge in their hearts, feeling extremely distressed.

These hundreds of miles of distance, but a little grinding out.

The main force is the Han Eight Banners, which are mainly infantry.

Even if the red-clothed artillery is powerful, seven to eight thousand people will be lost.

And most of them were lost in street fighting.

Of course, the Manchu Banners also had infantry, and the loss was only more than [-] people, which is very small compared to the nobles of the Han Eight Banners.

Thinking of this, Shang Kexi, Geng Zhongming and others couldn't help but think of Wu Sangui in Shandong.

Although they had a little military exploits, Wu Sangui took Jining easily and defeated the Yuyuan bandits, and his military exploits were much better than theirs.

They're just some toil in comparison.

Hauge and Luck Dehun on the side remained silent.

Obviously, the loss of time has made it difficult for them to raise objections.

Anyway, these Han people are all princes, and it doesn't matter if there is one more.

Inside Shanyang City.

Shanyang City has long been changed beyond recognition. The streets in the city are criss-crossed, narrow and not conducive to horse riding, and all kinds of traps are densely covered.

This is made by Li Jingwu's painstaking efforts.

For this city, he is determined to bring down five thousand and eight banners.

"Controlling, Bai Wang and others have already gone to the south..."

At this time, the personal guard sent the channel.

"Just go!"

Looking at the barracks across the river, Li Jingwu showed a smile: "They have rich experience in defending the city, and they are needed more in the south."

Relying on the canal, Shanyang City has a prominent location and is a must-attack place.

Sitting here in person, Li Jingwu has no fear.

In addition to enough food, there are [-] troops stationed there, and it is no problem to guard for ten days.

"Report-"

"how?"

"Letters from outside the city!"

"Humph!"

Li Jingwu didn't even look at it, he tore it into pieces, threw it down the city, and scattered in the mud:

"Although I haven't seen the words about the establishment of slaves, I feel that it is too dirty."
