Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 21
The blue military flags fluttered, and the Eight Banners soldiers with tall horses and fierce faces came to Jinzhou City.The Eight Banners soldiers of the Zhenglan Banner were proud, while the Han troops who followed the Eight Banners soldiers from various places were listless.

"Subordinates welcome Sanbeile!" Jinzhou guard Li Yongfang took his second son Li Sutai and others, as well as Jinzhou officials and hundreds of people from the school to greet him.

What he led the army to bring was a big man second only to Huang Taiji - Mang Ergutai, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner.

"Hmph." Mang Er Gu Tai rode on a big horse, and looked at Li Yongfang contemptuously, "The mere four thousand Ming troops scare you to seek help from Shengjing. Surrender to the Ming army?"

"I also ask Sanbeile to learn from me. I, Li Yongfang, have been in the Kingdom of Jin for nine years. I have made great contributions to the prosperity of the country. How could I surrender to the Ming army? Even my short-lived third son, Gang Atai, died in a few months. Before that, he even sacrificed his life for the country. The reason why he asked the Lord for help was just in case. After all, his subordinates heard that the two prefectures of Denglai and Zhenglai sent troops to Lushunwei by sea. The four prefectures in southern Liaoning are fertile land. If there is a mistake, it will be very detrimental to the country!" Li Yongfang said with a straight face.

"Don't talk about it. I'm not here to listen to your nonsense. Hurry up and prepare the best mutton and women for our warriors on the grassland, so that the warriors can recharge their batteries." Mang Ergutai got off his horse, Hand over the reins to Li Yongfang.

Li Yongfang took the reins obediently.Even though he is the most trusted surrender general, in the eyes of the Eight Banners Master, he is no better than the one leading the horse.

"Sanbeile, there are now four thousand Ming troops in Lushun Guard, and tens of thousands of Ming troops are preparing to support them, and there seems to be a Ming army team active in the Wanghaibao area in the east." Li Yongfang followed Mang'ergu with small steps. Behind Tai, he talked about the situation in Jinzhou.

"The Lushun Guards are just a mob, nothing to be afraid of. What is the origin of the Ming army in Wanghaibao in the east?" Mang Ergutai asked.

"It is said that an army from the Lushun Guard has infiltrated into our Jinzhou area." Li Yongfang replied.

"Wanghai Fort has been carefully built, and the Lushun Guard can capture Wanghai Fort with just a small team?"

"Sanbeile didn't know that Wanghai Fort was captured by soldiers from Dongjiang Town a few months ago, and it was set on fire. My third son was also killed at this time. Once something happened to Wanghai Fort, I sent people to rebuild it, but still If it is not repaired, the Ming army will come again." Li Yongfang sighed.

When Mang Ergutai heard Wanghai Fort, he immediately became interested: "Prepare wine and meat for Ben Belle, and after Ben Belle has finished resting, he will go to clean up the Ming army in Wanghai Fort."

"But Lord Belle, the main force of the Ming army is in Lushunwei, and the Ming army in Wanghaibao in the east may be just suspicious soldiers..." Li Yongfang said.

"Whether he is a suspicious soldier or not, the Ming army who dares to invade our Kingdom of Jin will fall under our sabers. After I destroy the Ming army in Fort Wanghai, I will go south to Lushunwei to join you and crush Lushunwei!"

The owner of the Zhenglan Banner arrived in Jinzhou, and Chu Yun of Wanghai Fort quickly received the message.At this time, Wanghai Fort was rebuilt by Chu Yun and others, and the city wall was raised by three feet, and the place that had been set on fire and collapsed was also blocked with stones again.

In addition to rebuilding the defense system, Chu Yun also asked the summoned British artillery personnel to lead the civilians to build the fort, and then equipped ten artillery squadrons on the fort.Of the ten artillery pieces, eight are six-pound light howitzers suitable for field battles, and two are twelve-pound heavy howitzers.Maybe ten cannons are not enough to defend a large city, but it is more than enough to defend a small Wanghai Fort.What's more, Wanghai Fort itself is a fortress for defense.

This time Chu Yun assembled nearly a thousand troops from Fuliao Battalion, which can be said to have cost a lot.To Chu Yun's surprise, people in many nearby villages and towns came to Wanghai Fort voluntarily after hearing that the Ming army took back Wanghai Fort, and wanted to help Chu Yun build the fortifications of Wanghai Fort, and some even voluntarily stayed to help Chu Yun deal with it. Ming army.

"Master Jun, we met again. Last time you helped our Yangjia Village to get back our food, you helped us a lot! Without your help, Mr. Jun, our people in Yangjia Village would have starved to death long ago."

An old man leaned on a cane and came down to Chu Yun on the city wall with the support of his clansmen.

Chu Yun recognized this old man, who was Yang Tongxin, the head of the Yang Family Village where Chu Yun was when he dealt with Jin Binggang Atai last time.

"Why are you here in person, the old man in winter? Come on, come on, and take the old man to the house to avoid the wind." Chu Yun felt warm when he saw the old man in his sixties come to support them in person.

"As soon as I heard that the imperial army was coming back, I wish I could bring my clansmen over immediately. Unfortunately, my body has decayed so much that I can't fight the enemy. However, the more than 100 clansmen in our Yang Family Village can all help the military master!" Yang Tongxin said with righteous indignation.

"Master Patriarch is right. Hundreds of families in our Yangjia Village always remember the kindness of the military master, and we dare not forget for a moment. Now that the military master wants to use us, we are obliged to do so!" Several people who supported Yang Tongxin The young man of the Yang family patted his chest boldly.

"That's great." Chu Yun said emotionally, "We are going to gather the nearby village braves to form an independent brigade. There is no shortage of equipment, but there is still a shortage of manpower. If you want, you can temporarily join our Liaofu battalion. Of course, once there is a war, we will rush forward as soon as possible, and you are just the reserve team."

"Master Jun, will the court not retreat after the court comes?" asked the Yang family Qing Zhuang.

"I can promise you here that if we win this battle, the imperial court will not give up any piece of land here. If we lose, we will fight to the death together." Chu Yun said word by word.

"Then..." Several Yang family young men looked at Yang Tongxin.

Yang Tongxin glared at them: "If you can fight to the death for the country, why are you still hesitating?"

"Master Jun, our Yang family Qingzhuang intends to join the independent brigade!" Several Yang family Qingzhuang said loudly.

"Okay, okay, everyone in Yangjiacun is good! It's windy in the city, take Mr. Yang downstairs, and then report to Captain Yang." Chu Yun said happily.

"We entrust all the people in our Yangjia Village and Jinzhou to the military master, and ask the military master to drive away the Jin soldiers and let us return to the rule of the court. The old man kowtows to the military master!" Yang Tongxin said. To kneel.

"Don't do it, old man!" Chu Yun hurriedly stopped Yang Tongxin, really worried that something might happen to his body.

After Yang Tongxin was brought down to the city by members of the Yang family, Chu Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.He didn't expect the people of Ming Dynasty to have such backbone.Just because of this integrity, Chu Yun wanted to drive away the golden man for them.
