The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 439
The common people in the capital took the initiative to report the abnormal signs they found, and the bad guys were often caught before committing crimes. They disappeared for a while, and the public security situation in the capital was orderly.

The good people in Jingshi also took the initiative to maintain the order of more than a dozen grain sales points, and immediately stopped when they found someone buying life-saving grains many times, and strived to make the grains sold to every household on an average basis.

Wang Chengen, who was in charge of inquiring about what was going on in the capital city, saw that Lord Huang Sheng's servant had done so many good deeds, and immediately reported the truth to Emperor Chongzhen.

After listening to Wang Chengen's report, Zhu Youjian was very moved. Mr. Huang's ability is not simple. He is not in the capital, and the servants who stay at home are so good at doing things. Security management.

And immediate results, the capital is in good order.The emperor regretted even more that he didn't use Huang Sheng and used Yuan Chonghuan, a big liar with high eyesight and low abilities.

At the end of the second year of Chongzhen, the commander-in-chief Ma Shilong led Ma Shihu's troops to a fierce battle with Jiannu in Liangxiang. There were dozens of casualties and gains.

The young emperor adjusted the cabinet team again, and entered the Ministry of Rites Zhou Yanru, He Ruchong, and Qian Xiangkun as Ministers of the Ministry of Rites and Bachelor of Dongge, and went straight to Wenyuan Pavilion.

The Ming Dynasty did not have a peaceful New Year. After the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the Jin Army broke through the Yongping Mansion, and Zheng Guochang, the deputy military officer, Zhang Fengqi, the prefect, and Lu Chenggong, the Tuiguan, died in the chaos.

Guochang first ordered all the students to attack Yang Chun to death. Liao Ruqin from Zhongshushe, Jiao Yanqing, the former deputy commander, Zhao Guozhong, all the students, Han Yuandong, etc. all fought and died. Cheng Yingqi of the Chinese army was killed.

Three days later, Jiannu men and horses fell to Luanzhou City, and Yang Lian, the governor of Luanzhou, swung his sword and killed himself.Two days later, the Houjin army, who was in a state of overwhelming momentum, intended to make persistent efforts to take down Funing, but they encountered a tough bone.

Although Funing City is not big, it is as solid as a rock under the painstaking management of the magistrate Cheng Dashi for more than two years. There are Yao San and Zhou Fang, who were sent by the Huang family to train Xiangyong, and they brought ten veterans to work here for two years. .

In the first year of Chongzhen, the Huang family built a safe granary in Funing City, opened a rice store, and a store. Yong.

Therefore, in Funing, there are more than 1000 Huang family veterans, [-] village braves, [-] family members, [-] village braves, and more than [-] people who are often trained.

As early as when he learned that Jiannu had entered the customs, Cheng Dashi and his servant Du Youtian, the head of the inspection department, as well as Yao San and Zhou Fang began to accept refugees and screen out traitors.

Because a large courtyard with high walls was specially built in Funing City for the refugees who fled into Funing to take refuge, and among the refugees, strong laborers with relatives and friends who provided proof that they could be trusted were screened out to form a picket team.

Citizens who could not prove their innocence were locked in the compound and monitored all the time, and those who behaved abnormally were taken directly to the Funing County Prison.

Yao San and the others adopted the usual style of the Huang family's work, and used the mutual supervision of the masses to find clues. In the past month, they were able to find traitors almost every day.

Cheng Dashi has a brain and is quite shrewd. He found that these spies mixed into Funing was a purposeful and planned action.

The order they received was to discover that the slave army was attacking the city, and they should cooperate with the outside, or cheat the city gate, spread rumors to confuse the public, or set fire everywhere to create chaos.

Funing's soldiers and civilians, without any illusions, took action. Under the leadership of the county magistrate and veterans of the Huang family, the people of Funing poured water on the city in early December, counting nine cold winters. It only took a day and night, and Funing became ice city.

The people all over the city came to participate in the storage of supplies for the defense of the city. There were a variety of defense equipment made, and there were countless rolling logs, stones, gunpowder, and kerosene prepared. The common people were afraid that they would not have enough, so they donated their vegetable oil and soybean oil at home.

Because everyone knows that the enemy army attacking Pancheng with fire is the most effective, and pouring the smoking fat cauldron directly down the city, no matter how thick Jiannu's armor is, it will not help, and throwing down the torch, Jiannu's shield chariot immediately Start a fire.

It was Mang Gurtai, the leader of the Zhenglan Banner, who came to Funing City first with two Jiala, and he coaxed two Ming scholars who had no choice but to surrender to build slaves to persuade them to surrender.

Yao San pretended to agree to negotiate terms, and lifted the two scholars up the city wall in a hanging basket, and then told them not to go back, and don't worry about having a small family hostage, because being coerced by Jian Nu will lead to death sooner or later.

The two scholar men, one named Gui Zhiyang and the other named Cheng Daodong, agreed with Yao San's advice with tears in their eyes.

Immediately, Cheng Daodong shouted and told Jiannu that the county magistrate here did not believe that the Houjin Army would spare the lives of the people in the city, and asked for a real Houjin Army envoy to negotiate.

Mang Gurtai led the army and drove straight in. There were not many Daming cities that surrendered without a fight along the way. Seeing Funing but the small town of Danwan, he didn't think there would be fierce resistance here.

A Ba Yala next to him offered to go to Funing to negotiate. When the boy was carried up the city wall in a hanging basket, he realized that something was wrong, because he saw dozens of Ming soldiers laughing.

Later, this Ba Yala was stripped naked and hanged on the top of the city, crying and howling. Yao San was going to freeze the white-armored slave to death. Dogs do not stay.

There are two or three thousand well-trained Xiangyong in Funing City. They are definitely not the opponents of Jiannu's Jiala in field battles, but these Xiangyong come to defend the city, and Jiannu can attack ten Jiala's without artillery. Also in vain.

Jiannu didn't have siege equipment, and they weren't good at siege. After all, they had only been civilized for a while, and it was good enough to understand the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, so they couldn't force too much.

Jiannu temporarily forced the Han people to carry shoddy ladders to prepare for the ants to attack the city. The small town of Funing has artillery, and there are flower bombs produced by the Huang family. Slaves start.

At the head of Funing City, wooden mantles, special weapons for defending the city, were erected one by one to prevent feather arrows from being thrown. This thing is made of grass, cloth, wood, leather and other materials. material for buffering.

Jiannu step archers risked their lives to rush into the city of Funing, and the lightweight feather arrows thrown by the step bow were nailed to the wooden boards of the wooden mantle one by one. Effect.

Jiannubu archers noticed the clues, and moved closer to some heavy arrows to shoot directly. Who would be more disadvantaged when shooting with bows and arrows or firecrackers?

Yao San and Zhou Fang all had double-barreled short guns and more than twenty flintlock guns, so the lead bullets of the 100 Lumi guns in the city were mixed with Mini bullets that gnawed meat. Nu's first wave of attacks failed with more than [-] people killed and injured.

The Xiangyong who guarded Funing only suffered fifty or sixty casualties, and not many were fatal. After all, the city defenders were well prepared. The Xiangyong who shot from the head did not have face armor. They even covered their heads and faces with leather hats. .

Jiannu couldn't shoot directly at close range, and the arrows shot at fifty or sixty steps were much weaker. Even if the township warriors were shot in the face, most of them would be covered with peach blossoms after passing through the protection, and it was not fatal.
