Back to the end of the Ming Dynasty to engage in infrastructure construction

Chapter 177 Arrangements for Guihua City
This time, not only the Mongolian Taijis, but also several major banner leaders Baylor couldn't sit still.

Even Hauge looked anxiously at his father, Huang Taiji.

Their families are all in Shengjing. Once the Ming army breaks through Shengjing, the consequences will be disastrous!
If it's other Ming army, they don't need to care, the clansmen staying behind are enough to deal with them.

But this Ming army...

They are afraid!

Huang Taiji looked at the crowd, panicked in his heart, but on the surface he tried to remain calm.

This time he set off against Lin Danhan and brought out almost all the elite of the clan.

The leaders of the Eight Banners all went out with the army.

Because Huang Taiji was worried about letting anyone stay behind, even if it was his own son Hauge, he was also worried.

He has been going out for a long time, and if he loses the battle, the people who stay in Shengjing may take the opportunity to make trouble.

This is absolutely not allowed by Huang Taiji.

Therefore, he left Fan Wencheng in Shengjing to preside over the plan.

Fan Wencheng was a Hanchen, but after joining the Ming court, he made many constructive ideas for the Kingdom of Jin and caused great losses to the Ming court, so there is no need to worry about Fan Wencheng's rebellion.

Because of Fan Wencheng's status as Han Chen, there is no need to be afraid of him seizing power.

Only relying on Huang Taiji is Fan Wencheng's way of survival.

It is most suitable for Fan Wencheng to stay behind.

And Shengjing doesn't need to keep too many elite soldiers.

Because the Jurchens have been riding and shooting since childhood, and hunting for health, everyone is an elite soldier at critical moments.

Originally, he didn't have to be afraid of the Ming army taking the opportunity to counterattack.

But the appearance of this Ming army really completely disrupted Huang Taiji's plan.

Zhao Cheng really dared to fight Shengjing, and was really capable of taking Shengjing down.

The point is, Huang Taiji knows his own affairs.

Now their army is short of food, and there is plague.

Even if he nodded and agreed to return to Fangshengjing, would he be able to go back?
It is more than 2000 miles from here to Shengjing.

Such a large army full of problems marched more than 2000 kilometers in a hurry, and faced the harassment of a powerful Ming army along the way.

Just can't imagine.

I'm afraid that if they don't reach Shengjing, they will be completely ruined.

Of course, these cannot be stated clearly.

What is said will deal a greater blow to the morale of the army.

As a great Khan, Huang Taiji must bear all of this.

He just stood there, waiting for everyone to finish talking and venting before opening his mouth slowly.

"I understand your feelings. But the strong army is too fast, even if we return to the defense, it will be too late..."

"Then what should we do? Is it possible to just watch the Ming army break through our tribe and slaughter our tribe?
sorry!We can't do it.If the Great Khan insists on attacking Xuanfu Town, we will bid farewell! "

Naimantaiji stood up with a resolute tone.

This time, none of the banner owners Baylor stood up and scolded him.

Because they think the same as Naimantaiji.

Seeing this, Huang Taiji sighed secretly.

He knew that if he persisted in insisting on insisting on the whole army attacking Xuanfu Town, and the soldiers pointed out the Tingjing division, they would really betray their relatives.

"Naiman Taiji misunderstood. Of course, we must put the tribal people first. I don't mean not to return to the defense, but to concentrate the elite, and to return to the defense before the Ming army!" Huang Taiji first show attitude.

"The Great Khan is wise! I knew it was impossible for the Great Khan to disregard the lives of his people!"

"Shengjing is our foundation. Our clan and relatives are all in Shengjing! It is absolutely impossible for the Great Khan to give up Shengjing!"

"..."

In the big tent, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed a bit, and each banner leader, Taiji, immediately expressed his support for Huang Taiji.

Next, the problem came again.

Who returns to defense and who stays in the camp?
Several banner owners Baylor and Mongolian Taiji quarreled and chaotically, Huang Taiji felt that his head was getting bigger.

This Zhao Cheng is too capable of causing trouble for him.

Everyone is worried about the tribe.

Moreover, Huang Taiji said, the elites are the ones who will defend.

Everyone wants to command the best soldiers.

In the end, Huang Taiji made a final decision, Hauge, the flag owner of the inlaid yellow flag, would lead the two elite vests of the yellow flag, Duoduo, the owner of the inlaid white flag, would lead the elite vests of the two white flags, Yue Tuo, the lord of the inlaid red flag, would lead the elite vests of the two red flags, and the flag owner of the inlaid blue flag would lead the elite vests of the two red flags. Jierhalang led the elite vests of the two blue flags and returned to defend Shengjing.

All the Mongol and Taiji, lead their elites and return to defend their own tribes, but they need to leave half of the troops under the command of Huang Taiji to help Huang Taiji attack Xuanfu Town.

This is a compromise that is acceptable to all parties.

For Huang Taiji, among the four banner owners returning to the defense, Hauge, the banner owner of the Xianghuang Banner, is his son, and he can preside over the overall situation when he returns.

In addition, Jierhalang, Xianglan Banner, is also his confidant and has always been obedient to him.

With Ji Erhalang's help, and Fan Wencheng who stayed behind in Shengjing, no one should be able to shake Hauge.

As for whether to trust Hauge...

Now Huang Taiji has no better choice.

The nearly 20 army immediately fell apart, and the [-] elite vests followed Hauge back to defend Shengjing.

Huang Taiji led an army of 5 from the Eight Banners, and 10 from the Mongolian Banner and the Han Army Banner, adding up to [-] horses and horses.

……

Xuanfu Town, Chaigoubao City.

The governor Shen Chi, the surveillance officer Wang Kun, the commander-in-chief Wang Chengyun and other high-ranking officials and generals gathered together.

"Bastard! What a bastard! They really are barbarian Tartars, who don't know what credit is! We have given them food, cloth, money, rice, cattle and sheep according to the requirements of the peace talks, and they dare to be so greedy and make such unreasonable demands!"

Shen Chen trembled with anger.

They had just received an ultimatum from the Jurchens, asking them to provide another batch of food, cattle and sheep, otherwise they would have to overwhelm the border.

"Are they treating us like sheep? Tartars, the Tartars have finished scooping up the Zhao, and the Tartars are coming to scoop up the Zhao... We are the imperial army! We hold the most elite frontiers in our hands Army! Why is this! Why is this! "

Wang Kun's voice was sharp.

Shen Chen, Wang Chengyun and others blushed when they heard this.

It's really embarrassing!

Obviously there are 10,000+ frontier troops in hand, but instead of threatening others, they are always threatened.

One time is fine, but two or three times, who can bear this?
"The clay figurines are so angry! These Jurchen tartars, do you really think that I dare not fight them desperately?
Wang Chengyun held the handle of the knife, his face was livid.

For a moment, he really wanted to fight the Jurchens desperately.

He searched for money and food several times in succession, although Wang Chengyun was not allowed to come out, but the three-acre land in Xuanfu Town has so much oil and water in total.

The more he is blown away by others, the less he, Wang Chengyun!

This is equivalent to cutting flesh from Wang Chengyun in disguise.

"Report-"

At this moment, there was an urgent report, and he ran in quickly all night, covered in dust, with a haggard face, stained with blood on his tattered cotton armor, and exhausted.

"My lord, it's not good! The army of the Jin Kingdom is rushing towards Xuanfu Town!"

"what?"

Shen Chi trembled, and his legs became weak again.

"How many...how many people? How many people have they come?"

"Overwhelming, mountains and plains, countless! Look at the flags, the Eight Banners army has all come. There are also Mongolian flags, Han army flags, and men and horses from various Mongolian tribes..."

"nonsense!"

Wang Kun stepped forward and kicked Yebushou's chest.

"You idiot! Did you lie about the military situation? Are you afraid of the enemy and dare not approach the enemy, so you lied about the military situation and escaped responsibility?"

He was already very tired after fighting for days at night, and he was already exhausted after galloping all the way, and he was almost unable to stand still.

Although Wang Kun was an eunuch and eunuch, but when he kicked down, that night did not receive him, and he fell to the ground immediately.

"I don't dare! The little one said everything is true! In order to find out the enemy's situation, we did not accept five brothers at night, and the other four were all killed in battle. I was the only one who survived.

This is because the other brothers tried their best to stop Tartar's sentry in order to let me send the news back!They are just to let the little one bring back the news, so that we can prepare early, so that the city must not be breached!Tartars have no humanity!The brothers' families are all in Chaigoubao! "

Ye Bushou's voice was hoarse, and he growled with grief and indignation.

They didn't accept them for five nights, and he was the only one who came back alive, fighting all the way, only to be reprimanded and humiliated.

At this moment, he felt worthless for the four dead brothers.

"Bold! How dare you disrespect the prince!"

No need for Wang Kun to say anything, Wang Chengyun had already stepped forward, slapped Ye Bushou to the ground with a slap in the face.

"If you don't accept it for five nights, the others are dead. Only you survived. You must be the one who feared the enemy and fought timidly. How dare you disrespect your husband if you are afraid of the enemy! If you are not severely punished, how can you set an example to others? Come on , pull him out for me, and beat him with thirty army sticks!"

Wang Chengyun shouted loudly.

Two guards came in and took that Yebushou away.

"Forgive me! Forgive me, my lord! Eunuch Wang, the little one is wrong!"

Ye Bushou begged loudly, but it was too late, the two guards ignored him and dragged him out.

"Eunuch Wang, you are shocked." Facing Eunuch Wang, Wang Chengyun immediately put on a smile again.

Wang Kun came from the imperial city, representing the emperor.

Just a word from him can determine Wang Chengyun's future.

As long as Wang Kun can please Wang Kun, what is the fate of Xiaoye not accepting it?
"Well! A stinky soldier dares to make our family angry! It really pissed our family off!"

Wang Kun's hands were still shaking, partly because he was angry, and partly because he was frightened when he heard the Tartar soldiers approaching.

"Master Shen! My Lord Shen! You have to think of a way quickly! The Tartars are really coming! Those dishonest Tartars! They really want soldiers to overwhelm the border, what should we do? Think quickly Find a way to collect money and food!"

Wang Kun came to his senses, quickly looked at Shen Chi, and said anxiously.

Shen Chen also had a bitter expression on his face, shaking his hands, with a helpless tone:
"In just a few days, I have already raised donations from the gentry in the city twice. Now I am asking for money and food again... How can I do this!"

"If you don't have money, you can still get money! Besides, our family knows these gentry too well! Their wealth is so rich! There are gold melon seeds and silver melons hidden in the cellar at home! If you don't take them out now, When the Tartars enter the city, will they all be left to the Tartars?"

Wang Kun's voice was sharp.

Shen Chi sighed heavily.

"It seems that this villain needs to be done by the old man again! Looking back, I still need my husband to say a few good words in front of His Majesty. Many of these gentry have relatives and friends who are officials in Beijing. I am afraid that the old man will be forced hard today. He Today they will spread rumors about the old man in Beijing and frame the old man, and the life of the old man will be difficult."

"Master Shen, don't worry. My family has seen everything that Master Shen has done for Xuanfu Town, and we will definitely explain it to the emperor in the future. There are not many good officials like Master Shen. If the officials of Ming Dynasty can As Master Shen understands the overall situation and knows how to adapt, the emperor will not have to work so hard, and the situation of our Daming will definitely be better!"

Wang Kun and Shen Chi hit it off immediately.

……

Zhao Cheng led the army and returned to Guihua City first.

Guihua City was his first stronghold outside the Great Wall, and it was a wedge driven into the grassland. Now that it was occupied, of course it couldn't be lost.

This time, he was going to fight Shengjing, and he had to make arrangements in advance for a trip of more than 2000 miles.

First of all, he placed a circle of containers around the city wall, which is equivalent to an extra line of defense.

In a small town with a radius of [-] kilometers, hundreds of people stayed behind.

Secondly, in terms of weapons, Zhao Cheng exchanged several Hongyi cannons, dozens of Napoleon cannons, and the Mines rifles and bullets were fully equipped.

Gasoline barrels and glass bottles are all ready. This is the material for making Molotov cocktails.

Standing on a container, holding a Molotov cocktail... Soldiers and horses of this era will almost always die if they rush up.

"In terms of war, I am not too worried. This time I will take away 700 people and leave more than 600 people. You can also absorb some excellent ones from the captives and fill them into our team. I will leave enough for you Guns, build you an arsenal, none of that is a problem.

There is a city to defend, as long as you don't expand and don't take the initiative to attack, there will be no problem.

What I am worried about now is hygiene, and you must pay enough attention to it.I will leave enough building materials for you, and you must speed up the construction of the city.

Housing needs to be built, and more toilets need to be built.Sanitation in the city must be taken seriously. After the ground is hardened, the rats must be wiped out. "

Zhao Cheng had one hand on his hip and a cigarette in the other, talking freely.

Having said that, he paused slightly.

"No. I always feel uneasy. In terms of hygiene, there must be a special person to take care of it, and a special person is responsible!"

Zhao Cheng looked at Li Erdan and said:
"You are the highest military officer in Guihua City, so the number one person in charge of hygiene is naturally you."

The most important thing must be handed over to the top leader.

This is from the experience of later generations.

"We are going to set up a health and epidemic prevention team in Guihua City. Li Erdan, you are the team leader and the first person in charge. If the sanitation in Guihua City is not good and some plague breaks out, you will be in charge. .No matter how good you are in military affairs, if you can’t do well in hygiene, it’s no good, and you have made useless achievements.”

Zhao Cheng didn't dare to be careless in this regard!
After all, the pimple disease had already broken out in the army of the Kingdom of Jin.
