Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 179
Dashun suffered from not having enough and capable low-level officials to stabilize the local government.

Even if it is stable now, it suffered a lot in this regard at first.

The problems Zhengheiqi is facing now, and the problems it will face in the future are similar.

Originally, the place is not big, and the subordinate population is not large, so these problems will not be exposed naturally, but Zhu Youjian has to think about the future, and he can't expect the sticky pole to continue to manage the population that has expanded several times after the population explosion .

We must first do work for these leaders who are the cornerstone of the Zhenghei Banner.

Then, you can only watch the trenches slowly extend forward.

After all, whoever charges from the ground first will suffer. Jiannu's trench on the opposite side is also crowded with people. The musketeers on Zhengheiqi's side keep shooting, and Jiannu is not idle.

It is estimated that they have gained more experience in trench warfare from the Ming Army and the Dashun Army. For the trenches that are gradually spreading towards their positions, they will push out shield vehicles from the trenches from time to time in the middle of the night to cover each other with the trenches, and then try to Approaching the Zhengheiqi trenches.

This look is to expel the black flag armored men who are digging trenches.

When Jian Nu pushed the shield cart and sneaked over, the scale was small, and he was forced back by a thunderbolt.

The scale is large, just put it on the artillery and you're done.

Moreover, there are too many ways to dig trenches.

Jiannu went back and forth for a while, and the final effect was just to fill in the section dug out by Zhengheiqi during the day in the middle of the night, and it couldn't be effectively stopped at all.

Another day later, Azig probably came up with a new trick, and Jiannu tried to get into the Zhengheiqi trench in the middle of the night.

It is estimated that it is to do some damage and fill some soil, and plant mines or something.

It failed.

Zhu Youjian found that they were resolute in approaching the trench, and arranged a night watchdog for the front of the trench.

Moreover, the excavation of the trenches is non-stop, in three shifts, and there are few unoccupied gaps.

In less than three days, the gap of more than a mile between Zhenghei Banner and Jiannu's position shrank again and again, and finally shrank to only a mere hundred meters away.

It was also at this time that trench digging stopped.

And Jiannu naturally waited in full force, gathered a large number of soldiers and shield vehicles, set up the ground defense line regardless of the artillery fire, and then stood behind the shield vehicles with muskets and small cannons to suppress the Zhenghei Banner fire gunners.

It seems that they not only want to defend, they are always ready to break into the trenches and occupy the trench passages dug by Zhengheiqi.

It's a pity that the reason why the trench stopped and spread forward was not because their suppression had worked, but because those armored men were hiding in the ditch and digging projectile holes.

"boom!"

Soon, the test firing of the crater began.

Explosive packets flew to Jiannu's position one after another, smashing Jiannu's long-prepared shield vehicle offensive on the spot, and each shield vehicle had no time to take it away, and retreated directly into the trench.

Seemingly aware of the threat of being bombed by projectiles, Jiannu, who still hadn't figured out how far away the projectile crater was, came to attack desperately at night.

More than 300 elites slammed the shield car, and successfully broke into the Zhengheiqi trench with the thunderous explosions, and repelled the Black Banner army in that section of the trench.

As a result, nothing was found, and nothing was fished.

The projectile crater collapsed immediately after launching, and merged with the trench, just like before, and I couldn't figure it out.

After all, the operation of digging a hole to make a cannon does not have any knowledge reserve.

Just as he was about to retreat resentfully, soldiers from the Black Banner Army had already surrounded them with short spears on their shoulders. Jiannu was forced out of the trench after a fight, and dozens of corpses were left behind by the firecrackers.

And this is the most intense trench conflict in several days.

"It's slow."

In the early morning of another day, Karama yawned and got out of the tent. Looking at the trenches in the distance, he frowned and his face was somewhat painful.

"I can't help it. I should have thought of it when I was hiding in the trenches. This thing is so easy to learn."

"The method that Wuerte came up with, he can't do it himself."

"It's not impossible. Wuerte said that the ditch we are digging now is the solution."

"It's been two days since I said it, let's take a look, or you can take the warriors to charge once."

"Whoever wants to do the thankless things, I will not go."

Several leaders were chatting, and suddenly found many sentry cavalry running from a distance from the barracks, and they all seemed to know that they had found something.

"Something happened?"

"I'll ask."

A leader volunteered to meet the sentry cavalry, and soon got the answer, and ran back with a serious expression.

"They said that there was an army of Mongols in the north, and that there was another Jiannu army coming behind the city of Jiannu, and it was probably Jiannu's reinforcements."

It was said that impatient people such as Jia Lama had already rushed to Zhu Youjian's camp with the sentry cavalry.

When people swarmed in, they found that Zhu Youjian was already looking at the map.

Because of the operation of Jinyiwei, Zhu Youjian also knew that the Manchus were sticking to Shanxi and Hebei.

It is also impossible for Manqing to just let Shengjing be ravaged, and will inevitably send troops to support it, but the strength depends on how much Manqing can squeeze out now.

So far, not much has been squeezed out.

Facing the simultaneous attack from both sides, the Manchu Qing really did not dare to deploy too many troops to the north.

Even the most elite of the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp did not dare to move.

It can be said that even if Shengjing is lost.

The Beijing Eight Banners must also sit firmly in Shuntian Mansion to protect the safety of the imperial court.

As for the two support troops.

The Horqin Mongolian Banners, the Chahar Mongolians entrenched in the Ulanqab area, and the Qing Green Battalion that had to be dispatched due to the situation, can still squeeze out some troops.

"Wurt! Send me to block Jiannu's reinforcements!"

"Let's go together! What did the spies say! How many Jiannu are there!"

Zhu Youjian looked at them with a chuckle and shook his head: "You can go, but Xingjia must be the main general."

"what!?"

The leaders were naturally surprised.

"he is"

"He is Mele Erzhen, who is my black flag, and was awarded for his military exploits."

One sentence temporarily baffled the leaders, Zhu Youjian made a decisive decision: "Pass the order! Order General Tieling, General Sanwanwei, and General Kaiyuan to join forces with Mele Ezhen Guarjia and Xingjia to fight against the enemy from the north of Shengjing , there must be no mistake!"

"Whoo!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Youjian walked out of the big tent, patting the backs of Karama and others on the way.

"It's inevitable for a family to have a great career. We are few people, and we are always suspicious. It is the way to kill us. We don't have the good luck of Jiannu, nor the strength of Jiannu to suppress the bottom of the box. Follow me to the front. We will have to do whatever we want today." Play some effect, dampen the spirit of the slave-building reinforcements in advance."

It is said that there is no suspicion, but in Zhu Youjian's view, this is also a half-gamble.

The name Guarja Xingja did not appear in his triad memory, that is to say, he was an inconclusive character.

This can be regarded as the decision made by Zhu Youjian, who has not seen for a long time, only relying on his own eyes and thoughts to distinguish whether a person is loyal or not.

And he sincerely hopes that Xingjia can faithfully perform his duties.

　There is something delayed. These days, the clinics in the city are very busy all day long. My friend’s family is also short of medicine due to the epidemic.
