The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 733

Even so, the gains of the thieves are very limited, because many dignitaries really do not have cash in their hands.

The thieves refused to use land and real estate as prices, and hundreds of landlords and bureaucrats died in the end.

The behavior of the burglars who are habitually violent and vicious has been magnified infinitely. Some of them are real and some are unfounded. Of course, the "Nanming" agents and propaganda team don't care about the unfounded. Burglars all crimes.

The publicity is in place, and when they learn that the thieves have come, not only the money, concubines, family property, and fertile land will be confiscated, but also their own life will be almost impossible to keep.

Many rich people sold their land at a low price, and the real estate could not be sold. Later, they simply gave up and fled to the land of "Nanming" with cash and stocks to save their lives....

At the end of the first month, the news of the death of King Fu and several cousins ​​reached the capital, and the emperor wept loudly.

At the next day's court meeting, the emperor had no choice but to tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, and getting out of the Liaodong war as soon as possible was the first choice.

Chongzhen sent Zhang Ruolin, a doctor of the Ministry of War, to Ningyuan to supervise the army, ordering him to deliver an ultimatum-like edict to Hong Chengchou's army, and to supervise the immediate actions of Liaodong civil and military forces.

Gao Zhimou, who has been gilded in the position of Ningqiandao for two years and returned to the center to be promoted to the right servant of the third-rank military department, is more concerned about the situation in Liaodong. He understands the comparison of the strength of the Ming army and the Qing army.

"Your Majesty, the general's military orders abroad are not accepted. Master Hong is familiar with the military situation on the front line in Ningyuan. Your Majesty should give him the power to make independent decisions. It is not wise to urge the army to make a decisive battle. Please think again."

The emperor also knew the pros and cons, but unfortunately he was suffering from the pain of losing the city in the Central Plains every day, and he was close to a mental breakdown.

He said: "Gao Aiqing, I know that the lord will have nothing to worry about when he is about to go to battle, but the Central Plains battle can't afford to wait! Does Aiqing have a good plan to repel the intruders?"

Gao Zhimou was at a loss for words for a moment. He was actually very worried about the safety of his younger brother Gao Zhiyong, who was a Tongzhi in Nanyang Prefecture. He also hoped that the Central Plains would have a strong army.

Zhang Fengyi, who joined the cabinet with the title of Minister of the Ministry of War, and Gaodi are friends. He has long positioned himself as one of the hardcore "God of War" series. Seeing Gao Zhimou's embarrassment, of course he wants to smooth things over.

Zhang Fengyi came out of the squad and said: "Your Majesty, please be safe and don't be impatient. The Secretary of the Ministry of War, Mr. Chen, has issued a document to mobilize all walks of life to guard against death. The Huguang Garrison has also moved north. It should be possible to curb the momentum of the bandits."

Chen Xinjia, the current minister of the Ministry of War, saw that he was carried out by the old man, so he could only go out to play and said: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, the commander-in-chief He Renlong, Hu Dawei, Huang Degong and other generals are not ordinary people. Although there are many rogues , but also difficult to shake."

Chongzhen said: "If bandits can't be destroyed, the country will not be destroyed. I'm afraid it won't help if there is no frontier army to participate in the suppression of bandits. Zhang Aiqing, send another six hundred miles to urge Lord Hong to make an early decision."

The imperial court relied on the 10,000+ people led by Hong Chengchou as firefighters, which was helpless.

Both Wang Zhichen and Gao Di, who had served as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, shook their heads and sighed. They were not optimistic about this Liaodong Economic Strategy at all. They believed that Hong Chengchou was in serious trouble and might not end well.

Hong Chengchou withstood the pressure and finally reached the warm spring, the bandits plundered the Central Plains, and even King Fu died unexpectedly, which shows how serious the situation is.

The Liaoxi leadership team, which was originally fairly united, has now been mixed with sand. Zhang Ruolin, the supervising army, only asks to do things according to the order, and doesn't care whether the soldiers are dangerous or not.

There is no way, Hong Chengchou can no longer procrastinate, the Qing army does not come to Ningyuan, the Ming army can only choose to go to Jinzhou for a decisive battle.

In early spring and February, more than 15 Ming troops slowly advanced to the east. Hong Chengchou did not seek meritorious deeds but sought no faults. He adopted the tactic of keeping warm for the battalion step by step. He set up camp after advancing twenty miles a day regardless of division.

Seeing that the Ming army was concentrated and unable to attack, Hong had no choice but to do anything. He needed at least 4 horses to besiege Jinzhou with the completed fortifications, and he had to keep [-] cavalry for maneuvering in case of accidents.

There are only 15 troops who can attack in a concentrated manner. Facing the [-] Ming troops who are strictly defending, there is really no way to defeat the enemy.

Consuming so much money and food this time and losing like the last siege of Jinzhou, where will the Qing Dynasty go in the future?
It is easy to shake the mountain, but it is difficult for the "Killing God" to die. The soldiers of the Eight Banners and the Mongolian armies all feel the same. They have nothing to say when they were defeated by the "Killing God" last time.

Now that the "Killing God" is far away, the lord of the Ming Dynasty will be Hong Chengchou, a civil servant who was born as a Jinshi. If the siege of Jinzhou fails and returns again, how will he explain to the Qing and Mongolian tribes?
The Mongolian tribes who have suffered repeatedly are not stupid, will they still obey the orders of the Qing Dynasty?Hong was impatient, and he sent Azig back to "Xinjing" again to dispatch troops and generals.

The Qing Dynasty launched a general mobilization of the whole people, and 3 people came, [-]% of whom were soldiers from the Eight Banners, and drove away [-] stronger Ahha soldiers to guard the trenches that besieged Jinzhou.

In late April, Hong Chengchou's troops advanced between Songshan and Xingshan. On the 25th, the two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle at Rufeng Mountain.

Since the camps built by the Ming army were relatively strong, the soldiers used the fortifications to fire guns and blunderbusses. The Qing army suffered many casualties and failed to charge many times.

Qing Getai, Yao Shanshou, Zhou Fang, and Ma Shihu led the troops to defend and counterattack, and the Ming army who rushed out suddenly caught the Qing army by surprise.

The Qing army was almost defeated, but fortunately the prince Hauge personally held the formation and chopped off the two Niu Lu'er who were leading the retreat on the spot, which curbed the decline.

Hong Chengchou ranked Qing Getai as the first meritorious service, followed by Yao Shanshou and Zhou Fang. Yang Guozhu, Ma Shihu and others all received awards. Only Prince Taibao Datong Commander Wang Pu led his troops for passive slack and was reprimanded.

Hong Chengchou made a mistake. Since he found out that Wang Pu is a teammate like a pig, he should be taken down, or the team should be removed.

It doesn't matter if there are fewer troops in the battle. If there is a leader who is afraid of death, he will lead the troops to escape and the whole army will collapse.

After losing the first battle, Hong Jie, who was stationed in Qijiabao in the north of Jinzhou City, became very anxious. He suffered from serious physical problems, with continuous nosebleeds and signs of leukemia.

Hong Chengchou was so difficult to deal with, which was beyond Hong's expectations. In addition, the Songjin area was narrow and long, and large-scale cavalry raids could not be carried out. Now the Qing army had to dismount and fight on foot.

Nearly 30 troops from the two armies fought fiercely on the front line of Songshan, and the two sides continued to attack.

Hong Chengchou has no way out, and he can't face the emperor if he waits and sees. Now he can only fight to the death with the Qing army, hoping that they will retreat in spite of difficulties.
