The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 261
It was very simple for Ding Yi to defend the city. He started shelling from a distance, and used guns when entering a hundred meters.

When they got to the city, they still used guns.

Because of the small bunker built on it, after the enemy approached, the gunners could not hit the enemy in front of them in the bunker. They would either hit the rear or the side.

The enemy troops on the wall are handed over to the gun shieldmen and the city defense army.

Gunners don't need to look down the city to prevent being shot by arrows. There are wooden boards between the bunkers to prevent arrows from being thrown, so it is safer. An enemy soldier who comes up can just stab it directly.

Also prepare some kerosene, etc., if necessary, you can burn the ladder.

At this time, many generals were by Ding Yi's side, Zhong Zhennu said: "At most half a month, the project can be fully completed. Master Ding, is there anything that needs to be improved?"

Ding Yi pointed to the land outside the city ahead: "After the city is finished, arrange 5000 people to dig a hole outside the city."

"Every time Houjin attacked the city, people would push shield carts forward, dig holes everywhere on the ground, and after it rained, puddles would form."

"In this way, their shield vehicles will not be able to move forward."

"It is necessary to fill the hole before we can leave, which prolongs the bombardment time for us."

Zhong Zhennu nodded and wrote it down.

Right now there are 5000 people working in Jinzhou City. After half a month, more than 2 people will be evacuated. Only 3000 people are digging holes here. After digging, 3000 people will return to Jinzhou City and will store them nearby in the future. field.

In this way, Ding Yi's population in Lushun will reach [-].

After watching Jinzhou, Ding Yi took people back to the South Pass.

At this time, the South Gate had not yet been completed. After the generals came in from the gate, they saw an alley head-on. The alley made seven turns and eight turns. A path with pools on either side.

These two sides were originally dug pits, but because of the rain, they formed pools.

There are city walls on both sides of the pool, and there are many gunshot holes on it.

Everyone walked and watched all the way, and felt that after entering through the gate of the South Pass, it would take five or six minutes for their own people to walk in all the way without hindrance.

How did the Tartar soldiers rush in?This road is almost no different from Hell King Road. If Tartar soldiers rushed in, I don't know how many people would die.

The South Gate has been under construction since last year, and has been renovated for more than a year and a half. It has not yet been completed, and there are still 6000 people working on it.

Master Ding really made this place look like an iron wall.

They don't know that Ding Yi is a modern person. Whether he played games or read novels in his previous life, he knew that every protagonist must have a solid base to survive.

Lushun is currently his only base in this world, so he is desperately building infrastructure here. On the line of defense that reaches more than ten miles, his forts and bunkers are erected one by one. One layer forms strategic depth.

Numerous deep pits and puddles are filled in it, and there are at least a hundred openings for gunners to shoot every 100 meters.

Only in this way will he feel safe.

Moreover, he built several layers of walls inside and outside to form a deep line of defense. It can be said that even if a certain section is breached by Hou Jin, the Hou Jin army will not be able to enter Lushun in a short time.

Ding Yi can also organize the second or even third layer of defense.

If it is said that the troops of the post-Jin all over the country will definitely be able to break through Jinzhou, then Ding Yi believes that the post-Golden all-powerful soldiers may not be able to break through the current South Pass.

In late October, Ding Yi called a meeting to discuss the next step.

At present, Lushun has a total of 13500 soldiers and horses.Among them, there are 1000 Lushun garrison troops, 1000 Jinzhou garrison troops, and 500 artillery troops. 1000 sailors, 1000 cavalry, and another 9000 soldiers (4500 blunderbuss, 4500 spear shields.)
The population under its rule is close to 7500, Lushun 72500 (5000 soldiers + 3000 civilians), and Jinzhou [-] ([-] soldiers + [-] civilians).

The ratio of soldiers to civilians is a bit high, and among them, 1 soldiers were sent down, nearly [-].

These 1 people are currently the main force working in Lushun and Jinzhou. After the work in Jinzhou is finished, the surrendered soldiers will withdraw to Lushun, leaving only pure Liao people in Jinzhou.

Now Ding Yi's ratio of soldiers to civilians is still too high, and many soldiers have been surrendered. In order to guard the surrendered soldiers, increase the ratio of soldiers to civilians, and to increase the number of troops in the future, Ding Yi decided to continue to introduce population from Pidao.

His order to the logistics department is to bring in another [-] Liao people before next year's spring plowing, so that the number of his troops in Lushun will exceed [-].

Ding Yi didn't dare to accept so many people before the South Pass was not repaired. Now that the South Pass has been repaired, he can hoard an additional [-] mu of land. This is also his determination to accept more people.

Last year, the Logistics Department only planted [-] mu of rice. Adding the [-] mu taken from Jinzhou to Fuzhou, Ding Yi can harvest nearly [-] mu this year.

But from last year to now, more than 3 Liao people have hoarded [-] mu from the south of Nanguankou to Lushun.

By the time of sowing in June next year, it can reach [-] mu.

In this way, only within Lushun, Ding Yi has 13 mu of land, which is also the limit of land storage from Lushun to Nanguankou.

The annual grain production is at least 20 shi, which can support a population of 11.

That is to say, starting from next year's autumn harvest, Ding Yi can fully achieve self-production, self-recovery, self-support and self-sufficiency.

But only these populations cannot compete for world hegemony. Ding Yi's goal in the next two years is to get all the Liao people on Phi Island.

Let your own population reach 20 and occupy Fuzhou at the same time, so that you can hoard fields between Fuzhou and Jinzhou, and let your own soldiers and horses reach about [-], which can ensure effective control of Fuzhou and Jinzhou.

In the future, there will be peasant armies in the Ming Dynasty and refugees will be everywhere. Ding Yi will start the refugee introduction plan and send a large number of good people from the country to Phi Island. The goal in three years is to occupy Phi Island and continue to stockpile the land. Zhenjiang, Tieshan, including the nearby Wanghai Fort, Hongzui Fort and other places must be occupied, and finally Gaizhou will be occupied to ensure that the line from Gaizhou to Zhenjiang and the southward area are all owned by themselves.

Based on these places, Ding Yi can barely raise [-] soldiers and millions of people.

However, given the bitter coldness of southern Liaoning, it is still impossible to fight for world hegemony.

So Ding Yi has a longer-term plan.

It's just that these plans will not be shared with others for the time being.

On October 28, Zu Dashou killed He Kegang who would rather die than surrender, opened the city gates, and led the generals to surrender to Huang Taiji. After surrendering, Zu Dashou suggested to Huang Taiji: He said that his wife and children were all in Jinzhou. I have already surrendered, and I am willing to take an army to Jinzhou to seize the city.

Huang Taiji really believed it.

But I have to admire Zu Dashou, he left his son Zu Kefa in the Houjin camp, and he didn't even care about his son for his own survival.

As soon as this guy returned to Jinzhou, he immediately organized a defense. Qiu Hejia, the governor of Liaodong, surrendered to the imperial court and surrendered to Zu Dashou.

Then he issued an imperial edict three times to let him go to Beijing for an audience, but Zu Dashou refused with excuses, and never left Jinzhou.

Huang Taiji took good care of his son and the generals of the ancestral family, and kept writing letters to Zu Dashou, but Zu Dashou just ignored him. It can be seen that at the beginning, Zu Dashou was really unwilling to surrender.

He doesn't even want a son, but wants to guard Jinzhou. He really doesn't want to be a traitor.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, people will take risks only under desperate conditions.

For example, Kong Youde at this time.
