The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 508 Surrounded
With the hardworking Koreans producing food and the rice fields in the Han River Basin, the population of this land has dropped by more than half.

Hou Jin's food was basically enough, the nobles and Qi Ding also ate delicious rice, and even Aha could eat two meals of mixed grains to make [-]% full.

After losing their homeland, the Koryo Eight Banners soldiers who shaved their hair and wore different clothes lost their illusions, just like the Han people after being successfully colonized by the Qing Dynasty.

The Eight Banners of Korea have now begun to keep talking about how I am.The Goryeo Braided Army, which has firmly accepted its master, is even more powerful than the Han Eight Banners in the future, with a number of [-].

At the beginning of June, Hongxie invited the surrendered Mongolian tribes to come to the "Xinjing" League, during which they displayed thirty general artillery salvos produced by Houjin.

Under the cooperation of the sound of rumbling guns, under the temptation of the newly acquired territory that can be sold to Mongolia for grain and iron, and under the volley of the newly formed Goryeo Eight Banners arquebus soldiers to show off their force, the Mongolian Taiji at both ends of the first mouse swore to longevity Followed Jin Da Khan until death.

Hong Zhe announced an important news. Huang Sheng, who is best at sneak attack in Daming Kingdom, is now sick and afraid of the cold.

He had already gone to the southernmost part of Ming Dynasty to fight, and the fight there seemed to be very lively, and a large number of gains were often reported to the capital of the Ming Dynasty. This shows that Huang Sheng was dragged into the southern war situation and could not escape in a short period of time.

Hou Jin's intelligence collection was really good, and the trends of the Ming court were clearly discernible.

Hearing this news, Mongolian Taiji and Houjin generals breathed a sigh of relief. They were not afraid of anything, but they were afraid of being blown out of their chrysanthemums by Mr. Huang.

Now the devil is five thousand miles away in Annan. Without this threat, the bandits are ready to move. They reached a consensus that robbing Daming to generate income is the only way.

Hong Jie pointed out very seriously that the Dalinghe City built by the Ming Dynasty was an attempt to cut off the connection between the Later Jin Dynasty and the Mongolian tribes.

This city must be pulled out if it is like a thorn in the throat, so that the Mongolian gold can be connected together. In the future, the delicious rice in the south of Koryo will be continuously transported to Mongolia.

Since Dalinghe City is an obstacle to the mutual connection between Houjin and Mongolia, let's work together to erase it from the map!
The bandits began to participate in the looting. In the end, the various Mongolian ministries announced that they would send troops ranging from 5 to [-]. A total of [-] horses were collected. The Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty sent [-] troops, the Eight Banners of Korea brought [-] troops, and mobilized [-] civilian husbands.

Nearly two years have passed since the chrysanthemum was exploded, and Hong Jie has gradually forgotten the pain in his eyes.

The new territory acquired by Hou Jin already produced three-crop grains. This is because the Han River Basin can also double-crop, and the yields of winter wheat and rice are not low.

Ba Xiao had a reserve of grain and became much more courageous. He announced in a high-profile manner that the supplies of food and grass for the Mongolian tribes that would attack Ming Dynasty were all provided free of charge by Houjin.

In the end, the population obtained from the capture of Daming City and all the seizures are distributed according to the proportion of troops sent by each ministry.

Such a promise was unfair to Houjin. All Mongolian Taiji cheered, and their enthusiasm for sending troops was much higher.

On August 30th in the fourth year of Chongzhen, it was claimed that [-] Houjin and Mongolian coalition forces surrounded Dalinghe City.

Zu Dashou was surrounded by [-] people, including his nephew Sanguizi.

All the generals in Liaodong have received Huang Sheng's promise that as long as they stick to it for one year, the Huang family will definitely rescue them. He Kegang and several generals stationed in Jinzhou were promoted because they followed Huang Sheng to participate in the "Liaoshen Great Victory".

They respected Huang Sheng, the god of war, like a god, and honestly guaranteed that there would be a year of grain reserves in the city before buying the rest to the Mongols.

Zu Dashou had a good harvest last year in the fields near the Daling River, and this year's wheat crops are growing very well. He committed greed and thought that new grain would enter the warehouse soon, so he sold the grain stored in Daling River.

This is also because his men did not fight with Huang Sheng at all, and the generals under his command did not participate in the meeting held by Huang Sheng at the end of the second year of Chongzhen on how to stick to the city of Liaodong.

It’s a good time for people and horses to come to Dalinghe. The wheat here is ripe. The smiling Houjin army surrounded Dalinghe city. They were not busy attacking the city at all. More than a thousand stones.

Zu Dashou is sadly reminded, those wheat is the ration of Dalinghe defenders next year!
At this time, it was too late to regret, the food in the city was only enough for less than two months, his cavalry was at most nearly five thousand, and the horses and horses were more than six thousand, and the horse feed was not a small amount of expenses!
Hong, who got the wheat, made persistent efforts to go to Jinzhou to help the Ming army also harvest the wheat, and got more than 6 shi.

The Mongols scratched their ears and scratched their cheeks and felt unbearable, but unfortunately they are nomadic people, they are good at hunting, harnessing horses, and playing with Mongolian knives.

After the Jin army and civilians have settled down, they have developed into a military aristocratic serf system. Every household owns land, and even white armored soldiers can do farm work. When they see free wheat, of course everyone grabs it.

The [-] Mongolian cavalry can only serve as guards, and at most help to transport the harvest with horses.

Ba Xiaole was devastated. With more than [-] shi of wheat in hand, no matter how he dispatched troops this time, he would not lose money. In order to ensure that the Ming army could not go out of the city to launch a sneak attack, he began to deploy.

This slave chieftain is still very easy to learn. He thought hard after he was deflated in Jinzhou last time, and came to the conclusion that as long as he guarded against the continuous sneak attacks of the timid Ming army, the Jin army would always maintain the advantage and the chrysanthemum would be safe.

Ever since, Hong Jie ordered the Goryeo Eight Banners and Aha to dig trenches as deep as five feet deep that war horses could not jump in Jinzhou and Dalinghe cities, and use these earthworks to build strong fortresses.

The effect was so good that Zu Dashou organized the cavalry to break through the siege, and was beaten up by the Hou Jin army, who lost more than 500 cavalry and fled into Dalinghe City in a hurry.

He Kegang had only 2000 troops stationed in Jinzhou, and there were more than [-] villagers who had evacuated into the city.

At the top of the city, there were more than [-] cannons seized from Houjin specially supported by Huang Sheng, plus more than a dozen Hongyi cannons and a few Frangji small cannons that were originally deployed. Jinzhou City's artillery fire advantage is obvious.

The key point is that He Kegang is obedient, the food is enough for 1 people to spend a year, and the reserves of coal are piled up like a mountain. Although the number of people is now seven or eight thousand more, they can spend a year without food.

Because if the Jin army is going to besiege Jinzhou after discovering it, they can kill and eat the cows, horses, and donkeys at that time, and the more meat and less flowers and fodder will be seen immediately.

Youliang, where He Kegang was stationed in Jinzhou City, was not in a panic. He decided to use his own strengths to attack the other's weaknesses.

The Ming army was good at defending the city rather than fighting in the field. He didn't plan to go out of the city at all. On the contrary, on the day of the siege of the city, he arranged for people to block the city gate with sandbags prepared near the city gate.

Grand Tutor Sun Chengzong, who supervised Liaodong, was helpless when he heard that the army of founding slaves was overwhelming.

Emperor Chongzhen was shocked when he saw the report. Originally, after the analysis by the princes of Dagon and Dagon, he had already abandoned a large area of ​​Liaodong territory. How should he deal with such a large-scale attack now?

Xiong Mingyu, who succeeded Liang Tingdong as Minister of the Ministry of War at the court meeting, was in a terrible mess. He had only been in the army for less than two months, and before he had time to receive any tribute, he was in trouble. What a pain!
