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

Chapter 195 Reorganize the team and take over Shengjing

The old Jurchen's name was Keribao, his tone was sad, and he looked back at Shengjing City with a look of reluctance.

Ten years ago, his body was still very strong.

At that time, he entered Shengjing City with his old master Nurhachi.

At that time, Shengjing City was called Shenyang Zhongwei, and the Ming army had 5 people stationed there. The Ming court even sent the Sichuan Army and the Zhejiang Army to coordinate operations.

The old master Nurhachi has the resources of the sky, taking advantage of the time when the Ming court suspected Xiong Tingbi and dismissed Xiong Tingbi, he used tricks to take down Shenyang Zhongwei in one fell swoop.

At that time, all their clansmen who could hold a knife and draw a bow went into battle, and there were only 4 people in total.

Even the other Jurchen tribes in Liaodong, and the Mongolian tribes, most of them also supported the Ming army.

But they won.

A total of 7 Ming troops were wiped out.

From then on, Liaodong was the world of their Jurchens.

The old master Nurhachi attaches great importance to population. Every time he goes on an expedition, besides plundering food, gold, silver and wealth, the most important thing is population.

Kill their young and old, slaughter their young and strong who dare to resist, and use terror to make them obedient...

The Han people in Liaodong were tamed step by step in this way. Now, Liaodong has a total population of more than 100 million, most of them are Han people, and they are obediently serving as their slaves.

Now that Keribao is old, it is becoming more and more difficult for him to swing the knife, and he can't even draw the heavy bow.

But in the past few years, his life has become better and better.

Because he didn't have to do anything, everything was done by Han slaves for him.

At night, a Han woman slept with him and gave birth to his children.

During the day, someone farms and herds horses for him.

Those Han people became more and more well-behaved, and they no longer had the desire to resist, and even scrambled to compete for favor in front of him.

Being able to be his slave, being able to carry the flag... This is the greatest pursuit of those people.

Keribao felt that with these slaves, their grandparents and grandchildren would be able to live a good life for generations.

But suddenly, a Ming army appeared and defeated the defenders of Shengjing City.

Even Lord Zhuobutai died in battle.

Then, Shenyang City will be destroyed...

There were rumors in the market that the Eight Banners army led by the Great Khan Huang Taiji had suffered a defeat, and there was a plague in the army, which had already been defeated and disbanded.

People in the city were panicked, and every family wrapped up their finances and left the city to flee for their lives.

In the city, there has long been a mess, and some people even took the opportunity to rob property, kill people and get more goods, but no one cares about it.

At this time, whoever has the biggest fist and the fastest knife will be justified.

"Fortunately, I have these carts of belongings! When I entered the city, I was alone with a horse. Now, my three sons followed the Great Khan to march west. I still have these carts of belongings!"

Keribao straddled his war horse, holding an iron knife in his hand, and looked at the dozen or so carriages beside him.

Their family pulled all kinds of valuable gold, silver, soft goods and food out of the city, as many as a dozen carriages.

Accompanying him were more than a dozen Han slaves, all riding horses and holding knives, guarding the convoy.

With these belongings and these servants, even if the days in the future are not as comfortable as in Shengjing, they should be able to get by.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the distance, and the crowd exclaimed and fled in all directions.

"Ming army is coming!"

someone shouted.

In the past, when they heard that the Ming army was coming, the clansmen would rush over like wild beasts to kill the Ming army.

In terms of field battles, the Ming army is simply no match for the Jurchens.

But now, when they heard that the Ming army was coming, these tribesmen had no intention of resisting at all, and immediately fled in all directions, like wolves running like hogs.

Ping Pong Pong!

The crisp sound of firecrackers was getting closer and closer.

It can be seen that the dust is transpiring, and there are bright red figures approaching quickly.

That is the mandarin duck jacket of the Ming army.

I am in a hurry.

"Don't panic! The Ming army only has one general banner... We can run away, so are we throwing all the money, grain, and silk to the Ming army?"

Ke Libao was reluctant to part with these dozen or so carts of belongings.

"Dog slaves! Follow me! Disperse these Ming troops first, so we can retreat calmly! Leave food and money behind, and we won't be able to survive if we run away!"

Cribao yelled.

He felt that young people nowadays are really greedy for life and afraid of death!
Could it be that the Jurchens have lost their blood after only a few years in the city?
"The Ming army is only good at firearms. They are not as good as us in horse fighting!"

Finally, someone responded to Cribao.

"Good job, buy Joudah!"

Cribao praised loudly.

Maiyoudah was the son of an old brother of his, and like him, he also brought more than a dozen carts of belongings.

Maiyouda was in his prime, as majestic as a bear.

"Uncle Keribao, help me fight!"

Mai Yuewu yelled, gathered more than 20 riders, and fought back against the Ming army.

Ping Pong Pong!

The Ming army noticed the movement here immediately, and immediately raised their guns and fired.

Bullets flew randomly, and two people fell off their horses.

Next to it, civilians fleeing in panic were hit and fell to the ground screaming.

After the Ming army fired their guns, they hung the guns next to the horse's belly, and reached out to take out the guns.

Ping Pong Pong!

Another burst of random shooting.

Their pistols were able to fire one after another.

Keribao clearly saw that Maiyouda had rushed to a distance of several steps, very close to the Ming army, and was shot in the chest one after another.

A man as strong as a bear, wearing three layers of armor, couldn't resist the power of the gun, and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

More than 20 warriors were wiped out in this way.

The others were originally looking at the limelight, and if Mai Yuewuda and others could succeed, they would follow suit.

However, seeing that Mai Yuewuda and the others were wiped out without even holding on for a single round, they were frightened and ran away in all directions.

Cribao's heart beat faster.

He knew that the firearms of the Ming army were sharp, but he never thought that they would be so sharp.

escape!
At this moment, Keribao's small thoughts of resistance were completely dismissed, and he yelled "Go", turned around and fled.

All the men in their family can ride horses, as for the female servants, they can't take care of them at this time.It's just a pity that the property of the dozen or so cars was lost.

The Ming army was not polite and killed anyone they saw.

If you leave later, I'm afraid you will die here.

Ping Pong Pong!

The Ming army dispersed the Jurchens, captured some Han servants, asked them to drive vehicles, pack up their belongings, and left talking and laughing.

There were Jurchens watching from the top of the city, but they didn't dare to go out of the city to fight back.

This scene has repeatedly appeared in the land of Liaodong.

However, usually the Jurchens won battles and looted, and the Ming army watched from the top of the city, not daring to go out of the city to fight in the field.

Now, the two sides are reversed.

Similar scenes are happening around Shengjing City.

Zhao Cheng didn't have enough men to prevent the Jurchens from abandoning the city and fleeing. However, it was no problem to take the opportunity to loot.

The Jurchens ruled Shengjing for more than ten years, occupied the entire Liaodong, swept Mongolia, and plundered Ming Dynasty...

They are all very rich.

Most of these wealth are in Hetuala and Shengjing City.

The wealth of this cart is all gold and silver.

Every time the Qiangdi army made a move, their mouths were full of oil.

Zhao Cheng was so happy to see the truckloads of belongings brought back!

These belongings are piled up in a small city surrounded by containers, and they are piled up like a mountain.

After Zhao Cheng asked the soldiers to withdraw, he sold everything except gold to the system mall.

There is a reason why Zhao Cheng does not sell gold.

Because in the future when a country is established in this era, a large amount of gold must be stored in the treasury.

This is the foundation of the country.

Three days and nights.

Three days and three nights.

The trend of fleeing in Shengjing City is getting more and more popular.

Even the Great Khan had already ordered to flee, and the family members of Baylor, the banner master, took the lead in running away. Naturally, no one wanted to stay and defend.

Zhao Cheng did not stop these people from escaping.

The reason is simple, he doesn't want to fight in the street.

If these Jurchens are blocked in the city, people have no way out, and if the strong army enters the city, fierce street fighting is likely to occur.

This is what Zhao Cheng does not want to see.

Three days later, seeing that the main resistance force in Shengjing City had almost escaped, Zhao Cheng ordered more than 2000 soldiers and horses to march into the city in mighty force.

After days of shelling, a wall of Shengjing City had already collapsed.

Wherever the strong land army passed along the way, they encountered only slight resistance.

Shengjing City, under the management of the Jurchens, has a population of 10,000+, and most of them have fled.

There were only tens of thousands of Han people left, all of them hid in their homes, looking through the cracks of the door at the groups of Ming soldiers who kept coming and going on the street with horrified eyes.

In this era, as long as the city is broken, the people in the city will suffer the most.

Soldiers with poor military discipline, burning, killing and looting, that's all.

What I fear most is being massacred.

Fortunately, the military discipline of this Ming army seems to be okay, and they did not force their way into civilian houses at will.

It's just that from time to time, when encountering the remnants of the Jurchen who tried to resist desperately, hiding in the house and making a sneak attack, the Ming army directly shot randomly, killing all the personalities in the house.

The gunshots in the city continued one after another for almost a day.

At night, the Ming army took out "little suns" and hung them all over the streets one by one, illuminating the streets brightly.

A Jurchen team quietly gathered under the cover of night, intending to sneak attack the Ming army, but was easily counter-killed.

One night, the streets were full of gunshots and shouts.

At dawn, it gradually calmed down.

Shengjing City has now officially fallen into the hands of Zhao Cheng.

When the sun rose, Zhao Cheng stood at the top of the city, looking at Shengjing City under the rising sun, with unconcealable excitement in his eyes.

The scale of Shengjing City is much larger than that of Hetuala.

More importantly, Shengjing City is the famous Shenyang in later generations.

Now, this big city belongs to him completely...

This sense of psychological accomplishment is simply too cool.

The strong land army in Shengjing has a total of 400 regular soldiers, 1000 reserve soldiers, and 1000 militiamen.
This force is not too much, but too little.

Fortunately, the thousand reserve soldiers followed Zhao Cheng from Shengjing to Hetuala, and then back to Shengjing, and went through several battles.

Loyalty is tested while combat experience is gained.

Zhao Cheng gave an order, and they immediately turned into regular soldiers.

As for the thousand militiamen, they were transferred to reserve service.

"Wan Sheng!"

"Wan Sheng!"

"Lord Zhao, Wan Sheng!"

More than 2000 soldiers shouted at the same time, and their voices shook the sky.

At this moment, they all supported Zhao Cheng from the bottom of their hearts, and their young faces were flushed with excitement.

Everyone is very clear about the treatment of the strong army.

There is a huge gap between regular soldiers, reserve soldiers, and militiamen.

This is an improvement in treatment and a recognition of identity.

They have not followed Zhao Cheng for a long time, but successive victories are the easiest to unite people's hearts, which has established Zhao Cheng's invincible image in their hearts.

Being able to follow Mr. Zhao made them feel at ease.

After the team is reorganized, it is time to change the costumes.

In order to quickly improve the combat effectiveness of the team, the more than 2000 soldiers were all equipped with Mines rifles.

The first order Zhao Cheng gave was to close the city.

Now that Shengjing has been occupied, none of the city's population can escape, nor can the rebellious Jurchen... They should be killed and shut down.

"City-wide ban! Everyone, you are not allowed to step out of your house! Wait for the population verification at home! Anyone who steps out of the house will be punished with death and will be shot to death!"

A soldier of the Qiangdi Army rode a horse, beat a gong, and shouted in the street, sending a message to the whole city to know.

In Shengjing City, there must be sentries left by the Jurchens.

Zhao Cheng wants to shut them down and beat the dogs.

At the head of the city, a series of Napoleon guns were erected.

In normal times, Napoleon cannons could not be fired at the top of the city to prevent people from rebelling, and the cannons were controlled to bombard the city.

The fort at the head of the city must be fixed and can only shoot outwards.Moreover, it is difficult to move the heavy Hongyi cannon.

Now is a special period, and naturally there are special policies.

Groups of strong soldiers went door to door knocking on doors.

As long as there is a little resistance, it will be a mess immediately.

……

"Boom!"

"Open the door! People inside, listen, we only do population registration, screen for spies, don't hurt people at will, don't rob! As long as you cooperate well, you will be fine. If you dare to resist, you will be punished with death!"

A strong soldier slapped on the door and shouted.

Gu Er stood behind and watched, frowning.

The door was knocked on for a long time, but there was no response from inside.

"Break the door!"

Gu Er motioned to a strong soldier.

"Yes, Captain!"

The soldier agreed, stepped forward and kicked the door open.

The soldiers rushed in.

"You...what are you going to do? You are the king's master, how... how can you break into a private house?"

A young man in a shabby robe was in the main room, trembling, his face turned pale with fright, but he still insisted on standing up, trying to stop a few soldiers.

"Still a scholar! What a coincidence."

Gu Er smiled.

"What's your name? How many people are there in your family? Are they all Han or Jurchens?"

"This is Miao Xu. There are four people in the family, and there is an old mother here... Hey! You...you can't go in. It's inconvenient to have a concubine in the house!"

While the scholar was talking, he saw a few strong soldiers cooperating. Two of them raised their guns and pointed their guns at the inner room, while the other held a gun and gently raised the curtain with a bayonet and walked towards the inner room. .

Seeing this, Miao Xu was angry and anxious, and wanted to go forward to stop him.

Gu Er grabs Miao Xu.

Miao Xu was thin and small, unable to struggle at all, so he could only worry.
