The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 245 The Hedgehog City
These Liao people have seen so much grain and rice, staring at each of them with red eyes. If it weren't for the sergeant Nian watching, someone would have dared to go up and grab it.

Everyone looked at it for a while, but couldn't count how many cars passed by.

At this moment, a man who looked like a military officer came over, and it was Ma Yue.

He yelled loudly: "Don't look at it, these grains and rice are all prepared for you. When you arrive in Jinzhou, you should work hard. Master Ding will feed you and let you have a place to live."

The Liao people were overjoyed when they heard the words, and couldn't believe that the cartloads of rice just now were for them to eat.

"Master Ding, live a long life." An elder in the crowd shouted.

Then many people shouted.

"Stop yelling, stop yelling, go home, go back to Jinzhou, folks, let's go home." Zhang Jing shouted loudly, and with a wave of his hand, tens of thousands of Liao people followed the convoy and started to go to Jinzhou.

Ma Yue quickly got on his horse and headed northwest after leaving the South Pass. After a while, he saw Ding Yi standing on a hillside with a group of generals.

"In July, fewer and fewer golden cavalry posts came out. In the past few days, there have been no cavalry patrolling outside. Right now, from Fuzhou to Nanguankou, our cavalry is all over the place. During this time, those bastards are proud It's terrible." Zhang Jing is reporting to Ding Yi.

Ding Yi nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, Hou Jin is going to gather all his troops and go to Daling River."

"This is our chance. They will have to fight for at least a few months. In any case, the logistics department must protect the [-] newly arrived Liao people, and the construction department must let them build Jinzhou into a new iron wall."

"There must be no problem. Jinzhou City is not big, so many people go in and do it. It is guaranteed to be stronger than Xu Dabao back then." Du Ruhai and Zhong Zhennu expressed their opinions one after another.

After Jin Dajun was about to leave, he would definitely stick to Fuzhou and Gaizhou during this period, and would not come out to cause trouble.

But Ding Yi couldn't move, he was afraid of being called to Dalinghe to fight.

So on the same day, he reported to Sun Chengzong that Lushun was going to occupy Jinzhou. Firstly, it could contain Houjin's troops, secondly, it could expand land and hoard fields, and thirdly, it would be able to restore the land.

After seeing it, Sun Chengzong felt that he could do this, because Zu Dashou had already set out to build Dalinghe City at this time.

If Ding Yi did this, he would be able to contain Houjin. If Houjin wanted to attack Jinzhou, he would have to mobilize a large army.

Sun Chengzong feels that Ding Yi is really a good general. At the critical moment, he thought of occupying Jinzhou.

Because at this time Zu Dashou and the court wanted to build the Daling River, the people in Pidao and Lushun in Dongjiang Town didn't know about it.

He must have never imagined that Ding Yi did this on purpose in order not to be recruited.

At present, Sun Chengzong wrote back, praised Ding Yi, and praised Ding Yi to Chongzhen, probably saying that Ding Yi occupied Jinzhou at this time, which could contain the Houjin army in Liaodong and help Zu Dashou to build the Daling River.

Of course Chongzhen is also happy, this is the achievement of restoring the soil, last time Ding Yi was defeated and failed to defend, which made him depressed for a long time.

Immediately, an order was sent to verbally commend Ding Yi's Lushun camp.

Ding Yi wrote again, saying that tens of thousands of Liao people had been taken from Phi Island to repair the city defense of Jinzhou, and there was not enough food. Moreover, it seemed that the court hadn't paid food for several months.

Sun Chengzong was also very righteous, and soon asked the Dengzhou Navy to transport three thousand shi of grain and rice. You can eat it first, but the court's food and salary, let's take it easy, and let's talk about it after November, when the autumn grain is harvested.

Ding Yi cried poor again, wanting soldiers and gunpowder.

Sun Chengzong was quite reliable, thinking that Ding Yi would contain Houjin, it would be best for Houjin to go to Jinzhou and let Zu Dashou concentrate on repairing the Daling River, so he pulled out some supplies such as armor and gunpowder.

But the amount is not too much. Ding Yi asked for it, and he was only willing to pay one-tenth of it at most. After all, the Ming Dynasty is also very poor now.

Fourth of July.

Ding Yi and his men are standing on the wall of Jinzhou City in Jinzhou City.

Jinzhou was originally a dilapidated earthen city. When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Wei Fu, the commander of Jinzhou Guard, came to supervise the repair.

When they came here, they personally led the army and the people, cut firewood and burned charcoal, built kilns to make bricks, and built the dilapidated earthen city wall section by section with green bricks. .

It is said that the green bricks fired at that time were the river mud dug from the river in front of Nanguankou.

The original Jinzhou City was a small city in the shape of "Asia". In 1561, the Ming Dynasty added four corner towers. There was a moat more than four meters wide in front of the city gate. There was no urn city. Wengcheng.

Because it is in the shape of "Ya", the city is 560 meters wide from east to west, 850 meters long from north to south, and the city wall is only eight meters high.

When Ding Yi first attacked, he entered from the south gate.

This city is roughly equivalent to about ten Xu Dabaos, not too big.

There hasn't been any Hou Jinqi sentry these days, and Ding Yi is also boldly starting to build the city.

A large number of Liao people migrated from Lushun to Jinzhou. It took [-] days for [-] Liao people to arrive in Jinzhou.

Ding Yi was holding a piece of paper on the city wall. Zhao Dashan and Zhang Jing were separated. On it was a picture drawn by Ding Yi. Officials at all levels, such as the construction department Zhong Zhennu, were watching and listening to what Ding Yi said.

"Remove all the original foundations and stones inside on the spot, and pile them up to the gate of the city, level with the gate of the city."

"From the south gate, all the way through to the north gate, forming an alley that runs through the whole city."

"..." The generals looked at each other.

Some people had funny smiles on their faces.

This Jinzhou City was originally in the shape of "Asia", (without the two dots in the middle.)
Ding Yi asked people to build an alley at the gate of the city, and it ran through the north and south.

This means: In the word "Asia", a small word "Asia" is built.

Once someone comes in from the gate of the city, they will only see an alley, and walk along this alley, from the south city to the north city, until they can go outside the city in the north.

Everyone wanted to laugh at the thought of Bing Jinbing rushing in from the gate of the south gate aggressively, running all the way, along the alley, and quickly ran out from the north gate.

Master Ding is really dead.

"The alley inside is six meters high, slightly shorter than the city wall."

"Building houses in the back, of the [-] Liao people, about [-] will stay in Jinzhou, live here, and leave [-] acres of land in the city for personal use, and another [-] elite soldiers."

Ding Yi's plan is to build two six-meter-high stone walls along the city gate (the distance between the two walls is about four meters wide, and the city gate is also four meters wide).

Five or six people can go in parallel.

These two stone walls run through the south and north of the city, forming a passage.

After the walls, houses were built, and the buildings were connected together. Soldiers could go up the wall, which was equivalent to going up to the roof.

Even more so.

The passage formed by these two walls is exactly the same as the city gate and is about four meters long.

When Dan Ding Yi asked to go through the wall, he used iron spikes and bluestones to inlay them together.

That is to say, after the two walls are pierced, the walls are covered with iron spikes made by craftsmen.

This kind of iron spike is fifty centimeters long, with a thick needle for the little finger and a sharper tip. At that time, thirty centimeters will be inside the wall and twenty centimeters will be outside.

The walls are densely covered with such iron spikes, which are two meters high.

After Hou Jinbing came in, he could not lean against the wall, nor could he climb up. Even if he climbed, he could only climb up to two meters.

This wall is almost like a hedgehog.

At that time, everyone would stand under the wall and shoot arrows or guns at the bottom, killing the Tartar soldiers at will.

At this time, the Tartars can only shoot the people above with bows and arrows.

Therefore, Ding Yi asked for the first step to build a wall (one meter thick). After the building was completed, a house was built behind the wall. After the house was built, shooting holes were built on the wall, that is, on the roof.

When the time comes, mud bricks are used, and when it is too late, wood is used.
