Daming: Start with an Altar of Luck

Chapter 72 'Going Abroad, Farming' (for collection)
The civil servants had the duties of civil servants, except for a small number of military commanders who needed to return to Daming to guard them, Xu Da took them all away early.

Holding the imperial decree of Lao Zhu, Xu Da arranged all the generals who had not returned to Hongwu Daming to defend the city wall one by one. Usually, one of them is enough to occupy a city. Now, for safety and subsequent conquests, Xu Da directly gathered Daming All the generals guard the city.

Not only Xu Da was full of confidence, but all the generals of the Ming Dynasty were also full of confidence. Some even asked for orders to lead troops to fight out, but unfortunately they were all suppressed by Xu Da.

Although some people were unwilling, but facing Xu Da, who had just returned from the Northern Expedition, and the number one meritorious service of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu had to suppress the unwillingness in his heart and waited for the so-called opportunity in Xu Da's mouth.

"King Chuang, this is not a siege at all, it's sending people to die." Gu Kecheng said with a face full of irritability.

Today he was in charge of the east city, and he attacked for two hours in a row without touching the base of the city wall. After all the hard work, he finally touched the base of the city wall, and there were not many attacking soldiers left, let alone Organize people to prop up the siege equipment to attack the city.

"That's right, King Chuang, when did this Ming Dynasty have such powerful cannons and those dark firearms?" Liu Fangliang said in a disheartened manner.

He was unlucky today. As soon as he launched an attack, shells fell around him. Although he was not injured, his face was not good-looking. After all, he has been making fun of Liu Zongmin for the past two days. Today, he was almost about to be bombed. .

"Hmph, let you look down on me, now you know!" Liu Zongmin looked at the other five battalion generals in the command tent, and smiled secretly in his heart. After all, the news that he was seriously injured by the artillery blast had already spread in the army, so he naturally I am happy to see other people suffer, and even Liu Zongmin hopes that they will also be seriously injured.

Otherwise, let them take the city gate smoothly, wouldn't it mean that Liu Zongmin is a big idiot.

Of course Liu Zongmin was able to get to this point, and he would not show his emotions on his face. Anyway, his face was still serious, but seeing the disgraced appearance of these people, his heart was already full of joy.

"King Chuang, at two hours in the morning, our army suffered heavy losses. The death toll was close to [-], and there were more serious and minor injuries. I suggest slowing down the offensive." Song Xiance, Li Zicheng's first military adviser, persuaded.

In fact, Song Xiance was secretly cursing these people as trash in his heart. If his subordinates had not just reported that he had suddenly received several boxes of jewelry in his camp, Song Xiance would not have bothered to talk to them. The 10,000+ army could not even take down a city gate.

One must know that the sooner he won the city gate, the sooner Li Zicheng ascended the throne, the sooner Song Xiance left that position.

"Well, the opponent's artillery is indeed quite powerful, but this is not a reason. Now Mingjin withdraws troops and launches an attack again in two hours. The opponent only has one city. They don't have too many cannonballs, grain and grass. No more, even if you use your life to pile up for me today, you have to consume the opponent's shells and take down the city gate."

Li Zicheng's complexion was even darker, like the bottom of the pot. When this group of people wanted to confer rewards, they were faster than each other, and each demanded more than one. When encountering difficulties in the siege, each of them was faster than the other.

Hearing Li Zicheng's words, except for Li Guo, the faces of the others were also not good-looking. You must know that the troops who died were all troops controlled by them, and they were also the foundation of their Dashun army. I didn't see it. The last time Liu Zongmin was defeated, Don't you even have a vanguard position?
They all saw the power of the dark cannon on the city wall today, so they naturally didn't want their men to die again. They didn't notice for a while in the morning, and they sent a lot of elites, but they all suffered huge losses.

You must know that the elites under their command can beat three of them compared with the miscellaneous soldiers. Among them, the generals even have bright masters. Losing one is enough for them. Advise Li Zicheng to suspend the attack.

But Li Zicheng gave an order, and they couldn't refuse. After all, Li Zicheng had the strongest cavalry in Dashun, and he was also the person in charge of Dashun. Moreover, none of Li Zicheng's direct troops participated in the siege, and they had been recharging their energy. They didn't have any losses, and their combat power was at its peak, so they didn't dare to stab right now.

"Obey!" Seeing that there was no room for relaxation, they had no choice but to accept orders. As for how to attack the city, they also needed to go back and discuss with their staff.

Siege is necessary, and the discussion is how to reduce the losses of their subordinates and delay the time.

Naturally, Li Zicheng also knew that his subordinates had their own ulterior motives, but he was in a hurry to enter the city. Only after he successfully ascended the throne, could he justifiably take away their military power. If he did it now, it would only cause a crisis within Dashun.

At that time, let alone entering the city to ascend the throne, it would be difficult to say whether the hundreds of thousands of troops in Dashun would be able to maintain Dashun if it aroused suspicion, so Li Zicheng knew that these people would definitely be obedient and rebellious, so it was difficult to say anything.

At the same time, Li Zicheng also had another thought. If he really couldn't take down the capital, the subordinates of these people would suffer heavy losses, and he would be able to nibble away at their soldiers and horses. little action.

The third is that hundreds of thousands of troops consume too much food and grass every day. The food and grass they robbed along the way will not last long. There is no problem for half a month or a month, but two days There will be problems with his army in a few months.

Moreover, Li Zicheng felt that if he lost some manpower in the siege, he would lose some manpower. Anyway, if there are a lot of people, he will be recruited forcibly if he has no soldiers. Isn't that how his hundreds of thousands of troops came? So Li Zicheng is not afraid of loss at all, as long as he does not lose his own core elite.

You must know that there are many people who can't eat now. If you join Dashun, you can at least eat enough to eat and barely survive. This is also the reason why Li Zicheng was able to successfully raise an army of hundreds of thousands.

"Line up in line and pass one by one. Someone will arrange for you after you pass. At that time, you will have your own land. As long as everyone works hard, you will have enough food in the future, and your children will have books to read. "

The soldiers said to the people around the Gate of Fortune that as the Ming army continued to come to this world through the Gate of Fortune, this originally huge capital city also began to become overcrowded.

Early in the morning, Li Shanchang and others began to organize manpower, consult the opinions of the people, and began the world population migration.

You must know that before Li Zicheng's army besieged the city of Beijing, a lot of people flooded into the city. As for the exact number, it is impossible to calculate, but it is estimated that there are 10,000+ people in the city.

However, when the Ming Dynasty was first established, the population in the north was lacking. It just happened that the people of this world were relocated to farm, which would liberate a large number of military officers and soldiers, and increase the population of Hongwu Daming.

As far as Juntunyi is concerned, Zhu Biao communicated with Lao Zhu a long time ago, and he also said that it is best for Ming soldiers to remain professional soldiers and try not to go to the fields to cultivate land to prevent their combat effectiveness from declining.

Well now, with the people of this world migrating there, it is just enough to meet the problem that the imperial court was planning to move the population from the south to the north, and it can also ensure that the Ming army can maintain its due combat effectiveness no matter what time it is.

Now the most important thing in Ming Dynasty is the food problem. This world is the last year of a dynasty, and there is not much food, and there is not much food in the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. For the rapid growth of the population, we can only tighten our belts and conquer the world as soon as possible. A world rich in food cannot be opened up for plundering.

Of course, Zhu Biao is not ready to give up on the small countries that produce a lot of food around the Hongwu Daming world. When the world here is on the right track, it's time to pick up a gun and communicate with neighbors in a 'friendly' way.

But this time Li Shanchang and others planned to move all the people in the capital back to Daming. The first batch of people who migrated there were tens of thousands of people, and more people lived in exile in the streets and alleys of the capital every day. All are the target population for subsequent migration.

Of course, those who are armed with force are not allowed to go to the Ming Dynasty to prevent accidents. As for how to screen, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty have come up with a screening process.

At the same time, while the population was migrating, conditions had already been set up, and another army could be established to recruit people who were armed with force in this world.

The treatment is naturally not bad, but it is still worse than that of Daming's soldiers, but I guarantee that as long as they have made meritorious service to Daming, they will be treated equally.

It's a pity that due to trust issues, there are not many people who sign up.

This is also the task that Lao Zhu arranged for Li Shanchang before leaving, to eliminate the people in the city as soon as possible, and make this strong city a bridgehead for Ming Dynasty to the world.

For a whole day, artillery fire raged on the city wall, and the ordinary people in the city were arranged to move to the Ming world in an orderly and stable manner. The first batch of people who migrated were fine men, women, children and children.

Daming needs a population, but what is urgently needed now is hardcover men who can farm. As for the elderly and infirm, they can only be put at the end. Otherwise, these people will be the first to migrate, and Daming will need to pay a ration to support them. , so it was put on the last side to wait for 'going abroad'.

At this moment, the inside of the city and the outside of the city seemed to be two worlds. The inside of the city was stable and orderly. Outside the city, the Dashun soldiers were desperately attacking the city. The city wall was like a dividing line, cutting the two worlds.
