There is a space for passenger planes in the late Ming Dynasty

August 25th.

Datong City, East Gate.

This was the city gate where Hong Chengchou led the Ming army to attack the most intensely. Almost the top of the city was blown up by artillery, and there were craters everywhere on the city wall.

The corpses under the city wall had just been cleared away, and there were broken flags, damaged ladders, colanders and other siege equipment everywhere, as well as blood stains everywhere.

Under the setting sun, it looked particularly sad.

After the encirclement and suppression of Dorgon near Shawo Castle, Lin Feng led most of the First Mobile Combat Division and the Second Henan Combat Division to continue northward and arrived outside Datong today.

Cao Xiong, Li Boxen, and He Xiaolei stood at the entrance of the city to greet them with tired faces. During this period of guarding the city, they had hardly slept a wink and were very tired.

He Xiaolei's shoulder was still injured, and blood had seeped out of the bandage.

Lin Feng stepped forward, shook hands with several people one by one, patted their backs hard and said: "Thank you everyone for your hard work. With less than 20,000 troops, you withstood the crazy siege of more than 100,000 Ming troops. Complete victory." It’s amazing to complete the task of defending the city! ”

Hearing this, Cao Xiong felt that all the previous efforts had been worth it. He said with a sad look: "The casualties among the soldiers were too great. In the end, less than 5000 people from the Datong Combat Division and He Xiaolei's Division remained, and almost everyone was injured.

More than 10,000 officers and soldiers were killed or wounded, and Brigade General Han Yu died heroically. The people in the city were extremely supportive of our defense of the city, and suffered heavy casualties. "

Lin Feng raised his head and said to the soldiers who greeted him at the city gate: "They all sacrificed their lives for my grand cause of Zhenming. All the officers and soldiers of our Zhenming Army and the people of the world will remember their contributions in the future!"

I decided to build a magnificent Zhenming Army Martyrs' Shrine outside Datong City to bury the ashes of the fallen soldiers and commend their immortal achievements! "

Too many soldiers died around Datong this time. There were more than 10,000 soldiers in Datong City, and there were also heavy casualties in the battles of Weizhou and Shawo Castle.

It was not convenient to transport the ashes of so many victims to Fugu, so Lin Feng decided to build a new Zhenming Army Martyrs' Shrine outside Datong City.

"Long live the Zhenming Army!"

"Long live King Zhenming!"

The surrounding soldiers shouted.

Lin Feng and others followed Cao Xiong into the city. Almost the East City and North City of Datong were reduced to ruins, with broken walls everywhere.

Especially after entering from the east gate and walking for four to five hundred meters, I hardly saw a single intact house.

The burning open flames were basically extinguished, and some charred wood was still emitting smoke.

The barricades on the street were not yet clear, and there were stains of blood everywhere.

All of this tells the story of the tragedy of the Battle of Datong.

The surviving people in the city saw Lin Feng walking in with King Zhenming's flag hanging behind him, and many people came up in order to come up.

Several older people knelt down and said, "Your Majesty! The damn Ming army doesn't know how to fight the Tatars. They only know how to fight their own people. Our homeland has been destroyed!"

Lin Feng quickly stepped forward to help the people up. He stood on a collapsed wall foundation and said to everyone:

"Folks, because of your bravery and sacrifice, we defended Datong City! On behalf of the Zhenming Army, I thank you!"

After speaking, Lin Feng bowed deeply to the people.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it. You will be the emperor in the future, how can you pay such a big courtesy to us ordinary people!" Several older people hurriedly persuaded.

"Our Zhenming Army comes from the people, and we do everything for the people to live and work in peace and contentment! Only with the support of the people can we defeat all powerful enemies!"

"In view of the sacrifices made by the people in the Battle of Datong, I announce that we will stop collecting land taxes in Datong this year and next year, and give the people a rest!" Lin Feng announced.

"Long live the Zhenming Army!"

The people around him shouted in unison.

"In addition, our Zhenming Army will invest five hundred thousand taels to rebuild Datong City!"

"As long as everyone takes action, we will not only have food to eat and clothes to wear, but we will soon have a newer Datong City!"

"Everyone, tell me, is it good?"

"Good! Good! Good!" The cheers of the people were deafening, and the whole city of Datong seemed to be glowing with vitality.

Arrive at Datong Government Office. The group sat down first, and Lin Feng was the first to speak: "The immediate priority is to quickly restore order in Datong City. Bo Shen, how much manpower and money do you have available?"

"Your Majesty, most of the scribes and officials of the government participated in the defense of the city, and about half of them were injured or killed. Because the government treasury was not lost, all the money in the city is there, and there are still more than 300,000 taels." Li Boxen reported.

"I will allocate another 200,000 taels to you to recruit government officials and civilian husbands, completely clear the ruins in Datong City, and build new shops and residential areas. Take this opportunity to build a brand new Datong.

Also, the most important thing is to build another Zhenmingjun Martyrs' Shrine outside Datong City with reference to Fugu. If the money is not enough, you can apply for it later. Lin Feng said, he was going to take 200,000 from the small vault in his airplane cabin.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. With these five hundred thousand taels, we will definitely be able to rebuild Datong City and build the Martyrs' Shrine." Li Boxhen replied excitedly.

"Ma Ang, you send a message to Prime Minister Xiong Zhen of the Government Affairs Council and ask him to arrange for the Zhenming Group to transport grain, oil and other supplies to Datong nearby to assist in the reconstruction of Datong." Lin Feng continued to order.

"Understood!" Ma Ang took the order.

"Okay, let's get settled first. We will have a military meeting tomorrow morning to discuss the next deployment." Lin Feng explained.

"Yes!" everyone replied.

The personal guards were all sent out to pursue Dorgon's Tatar army. Lin Feng only had a small group of guards around him, so he stayed in the guest room of Datong Mansion without moving.

After a brief dinner, Lin Feng returned to the room and entered the passenger plane space.

Arriving at his usual business class seat, he lay down comfortably and began to think about his next strategy.

At present, he has arranged three corps, Zhengta, Zhengdong, and Zhengnan, to begin an all-out attack on the Tartars and the Ming Dynasty, sending out almost all mobile troops.

No major news has been reported yet, mainly because several directions are too far away.

The number of radio stations was limited, and only the Xi'an headquarters and his side were equipped with them. The range of Bailitong was too close, so it was still very inconvenient to transmit messages.

I don’t care about these directions for now.

Currently in northern Shanxi, the First Mobile Combat Division, the Second Henan Combat Division and the Datong Combat Division are all disabled. But there should still be nearly 30,000 people still together.

Only the Longquanguan combat division was relatively intact. In addition to the 4000 men left to defend the city, there were 6000 men led by Zhou Zhiwei who could maneuver.

The losses of the Guards Division led by Luo should not be very large, there are still nearly 4000 people.

That is to say, 4 troops can still be gathered in the entire northern Shanxi, but some soldiers and horses need to be left to defend the city, which will definitely not be enough to attack the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

It seems that the current plan is to rest and replenish the troops and recruit new troops, and then simultaneously occupy the states and counties in southern Zhili and besiege the Ming Dynasty capital.

According to Chongzhen's urine, he definitely couldn't make up his mind to move the capital. Now the Ming Dynasty's court can only quarrel and quarrel, but can't do anything serious.

Moreover, Lin Feng had already sent Song Jilie's Eastern Expedition Corps to attack Shandong, and Fang Xiaoyu's Southern Expedition Corps to attack Nanjing. Chongzhen could not move the capital even if he wanted to.

So what is urgent now is that Mingting can slow down the pace appropriately and let the northern Shanxi team, which has been fighting fiercely, take a rest.

After considering the next step strategy.

Lin Feng felt a lot more relaxed and walked around the cabin.

There were fewer and fewer unopened suitcase blind boxes, so Lin Feng opened one at random.

This was a woman's suitcase. Inside was a pile of women's underwear and sex toys that were not suitable for children. Lin Feng almost had a nosebleed when he saw that there was no wife or concubine by his side.

I checked the other items.

The most piled up items in the cabin were gold and silver, which took up the entire aisle. Lin Feng thought of providing Li Boxen with 20 taels of silver.

So I found 4 large silver boxes each containing 500 kilograms of silver, put them together, and prepared to take them out when I needed more space.

Lin Feng took another look at the various items placed on the seat. Most of them were clothes, toiletries, etc. taken out of the suitcase.

It doesn't seem to be of much use at the moment, so I'll just keep it as a souvenir.

Now Lin Feng rarely thinks about using the resources in the cabin, and sometimes he even doesn't think about entering the space.

This also shows that his soul is becoming more and more integrated with the Ming Dynasty, and he rarely thinks about future generations.
