The Red House starts from Liaodong

Chapter 119 The Boat on the Han River

Now Tang Qing'an is a little embarrassed.

He now has [-] Jinzhou soldiers and [-] sailors. His strength is far beyond that of Mao Wenlong, and he also has Hongyi cannons.

So there are two choices between Jinzhou and Zhenjiang, should we guard Zhenjiang?
Or maybe the army is in Zhenjiang, what if the old slave attacks Jinzhou?
With 5 people guarding Jinzhou, Tang Qing'an is really not afraid of old slaves, but now there are only 7000 defenders in Jinzhou City, plus 5000 reinforcements from the rear, the total is only a little over [-].

In history, Yuan Chonghuan led 2 people to guard Ningyuan. There were also Hongyi cannons, but there were only eleven of them, and they had to be divided into four places.

Jinzhou is surrounded by seas on both sides, and a city wall can isolate foreign enemies. It only needs to defend one side, and there are thirty red barbarian cannons on it, and all kinds of firearms are ignored for the rest.

Ningyuan City is one of the most dangerous places in western Liaoning, but it is far from comparable to Jinzhou today.

Therefore, more than [-] soldiers in Jinzhou City, plus [-] Hongyi cannons, are enough to defend according to history.

But Tang Qing'an didn't dare to gamble, the consequences of losing the bet would be too serious.

"The general is reluctant to part with the fertile land here."

Xie Youcheng smiled.

"Mr. who knows me."

Hearing the news that Xie Youcheng had brought back to North Korea, Tang Qing'an was not surprised, but the coup d'état had to be brought forward.

Moreover, North Korea is not important, what is important is the land of North Korea. Unfortunately, although North Korea is large, there is no extra land for the Liao people to use.

One is that it is now the Little Ice Age, and North Korea’s local products are not abundant, and the other is that North Korea’s rule is so bad that the villagers are struggling to make a living, and they can’t even support themselves.

There are three major plains in the Northeast, among which the Sanjiang Plain is located in Nuergansi, which has a large area and a sparse population and has not yet been developed.

The Songnen Plain and the Liaohe Plain form an area, the Songnen Plain is outside the Great Wall, and the Mongolian and barbarian tribes live together.

If you want to reclaim fields, you need to build new water conservancy. The new water conservancy is highly organized and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. It cannot be done in the form of a loose tribal alliance of nomads and hunting peoples.

Therefore, although these two large plains are in their hands, they have not become fertile ground.

The western part of Liaozuo starts from Kaiyuan and Tieling and goes to Jinzhou, which belongs to the Liaohe Plain.Because of this favorable location, a large number of guards were established, which is incomparable to other places in Liaozuo.

This area accounts for the entire Liaozuo population, more than [-]% of the land.

Now, except for Jinzhou, the rest have fallen into the hands of the barbarians.

And Jinzhou is the crown among them, with the largest number of acres and population, so the importance of Jinzhou is far beyond that of Zhenjiang Fort.

In the Changbai Mountains that run through Liaozuo, from Zhenjiangbao to Jinzhou, and the narrow coastal area in the east of Liaozuo, it can be regarded as a plain.

If it is well developed, the acres of land can also account for [-]% of Liaozuo.

This area is well developed, and it is no problem to feed several 10 people.

"Now there are more than 5 people in Zhenjiang Fort, and 3 people in other places. How long has it been.

If Zhenjiang Fort is still in our hands next year, I estimate that no less than 30 people will go here.

If these 30 people only rely on Jinzhou, the situation in Jinzhou will return to the original situation, and everyone will not have enough to eat. "

Hearing the general's worries, Xie Youcheng agreed very much.

The lessons learned from Jinzhou are right in front of us. The northern part of Liaozuo is more than three times as vast as the southern part of Liaozuo. I don’t know how many Liao people have hidden in the deep mountains and old forests.

Therefore, the figure of 30 will only be more and not less.

Historically, Zhenjiang Fort was quickly taken back by the barbarians, and it was not easy for the Liao people to seek refuge in Zhenjiang.

And if Zhenjiang Fort is in the hands of the Jinzhou Army, relying on the Changbai Mountains and following the Yalu River, the Liao people will escape to Zhenjiang Fort ten times easier than in history.

Mao Wenlong retreated to Phi Island in North Korea. The barbarians used Zhenjiang Fort as their gateway to isolate North Korea and Liaozuo. It can be seen how difficult it is to escape into North Korea.

In history, after fleeing from disaster and entering North Korea, there were as many as one million Liao people under the rule of Dongjiang Town.

Such a reckless escape is because of the old slave's lore order in Liaodong, there is still a chance of escape, and if he does not escape, he can only wait for death.

The entire Liaozuo had a population of 500 million, and in the end there were not many left.

In the five years of Shunzhi, only 21 Han Chinese were left in the coats, including the population captured in the five years of entering the customs.

Why did Huang Taiji in history want to prevent the Manchus from massacring the Han Chinese?Because if they continue to kill, they will be killed, and no one will farm with them.

Later, Huang Taiji established the Eight Banners of Han, and the main force was Kong Youde from Dongjiang Town, and 800 people were brought by Geng Zhongming.

Shang Kexi's 500 people, Shen Zhixiang's [-] people, plus the original old Han army, namely Li Yongfang and others, and later Zu Dashou and others.

The Eight Banners of Han were established based on the surrender of these Han generals and soldiers, rather than recruiting from the Liao people. How can there be any Liao people?

After Houjin entered the customs, Liaodong was blocked, and there was no writing left in history, and there was no record of the migration of Liao people into the customs.

You must know that there have been records of large-scale relocation of people in the past, including how many households and how many people were relocated, but the Liao people did not record it, and the reason is self-evident.

Therefore, no matter how many Liao people Tang Qing'an took in now, they would have already become dead bones in the original time and space.

What he built was the home of the "dead souls".

"Golden State can't be lost."

Xie Youcheng said seriously.

Tang Qing'an didn't answer aloud, he understood what Xie Youcheng meant, but Xie Youcheng didn't know his worries.

Jinzhou couldn't afford to support a million Liao people no matter what, and if he defended Zhenjiang, the scale of Liao people he got would be far more than a million.

Although the fishing boats on Changshan Island are launched every day, and the output of catches is increasing every day, this gap cannot be solved.

As for the court.

In Tang Qing'an's future plan, there is no imperial court.

It's not that he doesn't want to rely on the imperial court, but that the imperial court has been unable to provide even Dongjiang Town's military pay within a few years.

Historically, the military pay provided to Dongjiang Town has only been maintained for a few years, because the people in the country are also in dire straits, and the finances are soon completely bankrupt.

Therefore, Tang Qing'an could only organize the Liao people to save themselves, counting on the support of the imperial court, which would only delay him in the end.

Tang Qing'an finally found Zhao Gouyong.

He will definitely go back to Jinzhou, and Zhenjiang needs someone who can come forward to organize the overall situation.

Whether it is Li Shenghu, Huayan, Li Bosheng, or Zhu Xiu, the prestige of these battalion commanders is not enough.

That's why he wanted to bring Zhao Gouyong with him.

"General, you can trust me."

Zhao Gouyong waited for a while, seeing that the general hadn't spoken yet, he hesitated for a while, and finally said it himself first.

As a veteran, he has been stationed here for many years. The general is frowning these days. People say that the general is worried that he will not be able to defend Zhenjiang.

And he has already seen the actual difficulties of the general, and he has no commander in hand.

Tang Qing'an heard this and finally made a decision.

After all, I have to gamble.

He never gambled, but this time, he gambled for the sake of the undead.

"The old slave will never remain indifferent, and will definitely fight back. No one can guess where he will attack, so I will lead [-] soldiers back to Jinzhou."

Hearing this, Zhao Gouyong knew that he guessed right.

There is no joy in my heart, I just feel the pressure coming to my face. If the barbarians attack Zhenjiang with [-] soldiers, it will be a bloody battle.

"Who is the general planning to keep?"

"Li Shenghu, Chen Kaiwu, Wu Zhenmeng, Huayan, Zhu Xiu, Li Qi, Wubu Battalion and Yiqi Battalion, totaling 1000 people."

Either a general from the East China Sea, or a Liaomin general promoted by the general, the only Jinzhou general with dazzling eyes, and the general has always been the only general to follow the lead.

Zhao Gou said with a nonchalant smile.

"If the barbarians come to attack Zhenjiang, the general receives the news, please rush to help as soon as possible."

Tang Qing'an nodded.

"General Zhao, take care."

When Zhao Gouyong left, he finally couldn't help turning his head and looked at such a young general. If ten years later, would Liaodong still belong to the imperial court?

"General, you...forget it."

Zhao Gouyong shook his head, not going to ask any more questions.

"General Zhao."

Seeing Zhao Gouyong who was about to leave, Tang Qing'an took the initiative to stop him with a serious expression on his face.

Zhao Gouyong stopped immediately after hearing the words, turned around and waited for the general's order.

"I have a public heart. For more than a year, everything I have done is to save the people of Liao. Although there are many violations of the system, there is nothing I can do."

Lied about military pay, embezzled and seized, appointed cronies, suppressed dissidents, smuggled into Mongolia, privately built ships, violated maritime restrictions...

Everything is a mortal sin.

Zhao Gouyong suddenly laughed.

Except for the first two months of last year, the imperial court has not sent supplies to help the Liao people so far. This is forcing the Liao people to save themselves.

He didn't have the extraordinary ability of a general's vision, otherwise he wouldn't have been a surrendered general, but he was also from Liao after all.

The general... finally saved countless Liao people.

As for later.

Zhao Gouyong stopped thinking about it.

If the old slave chooses to attack Zhenjiang, he may have no future.

"Don't worry, general, if [-] soldiers guard Zhenjiang, even if the old slaves come to attack, we will have to fight to the death."

"Zhao Shen will take care."

"General, take care."

Tang Qing'an finally recruited Chen Kaiwu, and after a few explanations, he led Wan Bing out of Zhenjiang Fort within a few days.

The Great Zhou followed the Ming Dynasty, and the sea ban policy has been for more than two hundred years, and the Lee Dynasty also banned the sea for more than two hundred years.

Japan has also started a sea ban, which has just begun and will become more and more severe in the future.

this day.

The surface of the Han River has been dyed a new color.

Five hundred warships filled the entire Han River, and went up the Han River directly to Seoul.

Having already received the news, the two North Korean officials and generals who were greeted at the pier were frightened by the shocking sight of the endless fleet of ships on the river, and they all took a deep breath at the same time.

It turns out that the armor obtained in Haizhou is innumerable. It was originally reserved by Daming in Liaoshen, obtained by the old slave, and finally returned to Tang Qing'an.

"Ugh-"

The sound of orders may be long or short, and the colorful flags are raised or lowered on the bow of the ship, and the warship deftly moves out of the way.

A large ship of 32 feet approached majestically.

On the deck, a group of elite soldiers with bright armor stood in line on both sides, and then a general wearing chain mail guarded a shining golden general.

It was the first time for Tang Qing'an to dress so neatly for a set of golden lacquer mountain armor.

The heart guard reflects the dazzling light in the golden armor, making people dare not open their eyes to take a closer look.

"Crash."

Following Tang Qing'an's pace, the voice from the armor was so deep again.

The wind blowing by the river made the red cloak look even more flamboyant.

What a Golden State general.

On the pier, the North Korean civilian and military generals secretly said.

Expressionlessly, he took the expressions of the North Korean officials on the shore into his eyes, and then turned around and went in.

"Ugh-"

The ship's horn sounded.

The order of the warships turned around, and they just left

"This...what's the matter?"

"What does General Jinzhou mean?"

The warships left the Han River one by one. While not knowing what it meant, people also breathed a sigh of relief.
