The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 522 Surrounding Jinzhou
After the Jin army was busy with the farming season, seeing the master leading everyone to take Jinzhou, everyone scrambled to be the first.

The last time Hongxie took the Daling River was quite fruitful. He bought a lot of weapons, armor, and artillery. What was even more cost-effective was that he spent more than 10,000 strong laborers. Three more [-]+ acres.

The life of the slaves was actually very hard. They had no professional soldiers at all. All the armored men and even the white armored soldiers had to participate in labor during the busy farming season. This was entirely because of their pitifully small population base.

The output of land in this era is limited. In later generations, one acre of land in the south of the Yangtze River can feed five or six people with two crops. Although the fields in the Northeast have only one crop to feed two or three people, it is no problem.

In the north of the Ming Dynasty, the output per mu could not support one person at all. In order to obtain life-saving food, most ordinary people had to carefully serve the land on which they depended for survival, and Jiannu was no exception.

The treatment of the Han soldiers who surrendered and became slaves was even worse. They were much poorer than they were in the Ming Dynasty.

If it weren't for Hou Jin's deterrence of force, and his ability to bring soldiers and horses to rob houses to generate income, there would be no Han people who would follow these beasts wholeheartedly.

The post-Jin regime of the serf system was nothing more than a small number of military nobles living a life of luxury. In the old slave Nurhachi era, the post-Jin dignitaries were still restrained under the example of the old slave.

Although the old slave was poor and vicious, he had been self-denying, thrifty and abstained from alcohol all his life. He was a god-like existence in the Jiannu-ruled area.

Hongxie does not have the authority of the brutal Nurhachi. Mangurtai, Daishan, etc. Baylor are now rotten and degenerate, and young singers and actors raised at home are everywhere.

It was this backward and decaying Houjin that was able to continuously rob Daming to obtain unexpected wealth, which directly caused those poor mountain hunters to get several times more benefits from the war than farming and hunting, so that the Houjin Eight Banners were willing to gang up and go to Daming looting.

At this time, no one would have thought that there would be an even bigger accident, that Hou Jin would actually take over the world of flowers and flowers of Ming Dynasty, and make tens of thousands of Han people become Ahha.This shows how unfortunate the Han people are.

More than 40 mu of fertile land in the Han River Basin has been cultivated, and the output will exceed 15 shi of grain, which is enough to feed [-] people. Now that the post-golden land is sparsely populated, Hong is really hoping to capture the population. He has already started I regret killing too hard in North Korea.

The Goryeo Eight Banners and the Han soldiers are the most cost-effective to use. They are used as cannon fodder during wartime and used for farming during busy farming seasons. This time they brought a large army to break Jinzhou. If they can get tens of thousands of Han people, they can form the Han Eight Banners.

The reason why Hong Zai put so much emphasis on the training of Koreans and Hans was because he found that these foreign troops were following his orders instead.

The banner owners of the Houjin Eight Banners are not as obedient as they are, especially Daishan and Mang Gurtai, as well as brothers Dorgon and Duoduo.

Amin, the most disobedient and self-reliant, was slaughtered by Huang Sheng. In fact, Hong was just pretending to be sad. He was so happy. Now he swallowed more than half of the Niulu with the blue flag, and he lost a confidant. All are happy.

Later Jin still had a primitive tribal structure, and the grassroots tribes with Niulu as the unit all had their own masters. Although they were under the command of the banner masters of each banner, the banner owners must also obey the orders of the Great Khan.

The bargaining between the post-Jin military nobles and the slave chieftains has never been eliminated, and the Eight Banners are only in charge of the Banner Niulu in name.

Too many Gushan Ezhen and the princes and nobles have several cattle records directly owned by themselves. These cattle records are like private property and like the servants of civil servants and generals of the Ming army. Most of them are only loyal to their masters.

Hong Xie has strengthened himself by recruiting surrenders and accepting rebels. Of course, he never tires of it.

Consuming the strength of Manggurtai, Dorgon, and other banner owners, the acquired Han army and Koryo army are completely obedient to their own sweat, and it is really just around the corner that they will make a promise.

Hou Jin’s appeal is extraordinary, and it’s all because they captured Korea and completely solved the food problem. Those Mongol Tartars who have milk are their mothers. Of course, they will never tire of helping to fight the war to fill their stomachs and get a share of the seizure.

Mongolia organized another 6 horses to help in the war. They were willing to send their hands to follow the Dajin Kingdom because they did not need to bring their own rations. The drought in the north caused a shortage of grain and high grain prices. The poor Mongolians could not even afford food.

Some of the men from each tribe went to eat the food of the Dajin Kingdom, and the life of the tribe was much better.

The Eight Banners army dispatched by Hou Jin was still [-], the Goryeo Eight Banners was still [-], the civilian husbands came [-], and the Han army was [-] more.

Hong Xie thinks that although Jinzhou is bigger than Dalinghe City, it doesn't have as many troops as Zu Dashou had at that time, and without the horn of Dalinghe City, Jinzhou has become an isolated city and should be easier to fight.

With the experience of the last siege of Juhao, Hongxie believed that taking Jinzhou would not be a problem, it would just take more time, he refused to attack to increase the casualties of the Eight Banners, and still resorted to the trick of besieging Jinzhou with heavy troops.

If Daming Ningyuan's direction of aid falls into his established target of encirclement and aid, the result will be even more brilliant than capturing Jinzhou. I don't know how much weapons, armor, and war horses will be obtained.

This is the reason why the Jin army and the Ming army have always fought successively in battles in history. The choice of the battlefield, the choice of time, and the amount of troops invested are all under the control of the Red Army.

It also means that the Houjin army has the right time and place. Every time Jiannu fights, they can get a lot of wealth, population and livestock. Naturally, the morale is high.

Every time the Ming army was forced to go to the enemy's preset battlefield full of unknowns, there were too many soldiers dispatched in the customs that could not even adapt to the cold in Liaodong.

The record of repeated defeats of the Ming Dynasty made the soldiers have no fighting spirit. In the end, the Ming Dynasty sent troops to rescue the besieged Liaodong city like a gift.

In history, Zhang Chun, the Yongping military preparation officer, took Wu Xiang, Song Wei and other senior Ming army generals to rescue the damaged troops in Dalinghe and sent tens of thousands of Ming army equipment to the Houjin army.

Later, Hong Chengchou, the governor of the five provinces who was in power for a while, gave even more gifts.

He led Yang Guozhu, general of Xuanfu, Wang Pu, general of Datong, Tang Tong, general of Miyun, Bai Guangen, general of Jizhou, Cao Bianjiao, general of Yutian, Ma Ke, general of Shanhaiguan, Wang Tingchen, general of former Tunwei, and Wu Sangui, general of Ningyuan. Waiting for the soldiers and horses of the eight towns of the Ming Dynasty, including 13 elites and [-] horses, to rescue Jinzhou City, which was ambushed by the red gangsters from all sides.

In the Battle of Songshan, the 13 troops of the Ming army collapsed, and Hou Jin obtained tens of thousands of strong labor force, equipment of [-] troops, and no less than [-] horses and horses were captured.

It can be seen from this that the pre-set battlefields of the siege and aid are very familiar. This strategist is really extraordinary. If he hadn't encountered Huang Sheng's soul piercing, he would have a clear understanding of the red. After the Ming Dynasty perished and the Han people lost 7000 million people It will be sooner or later to become a slave.

The Hou Jin army who were engaged in projects in Jinzhou were all looking forward to reinforcements from Daming coming here. No one looked down on the Ming army. They all knew that the terrifying "Killing God" of Daming was thousands of miles away in the South China Sea.

Ninety-nine percent of the post-Jin army did not know how far the South China Sea was. Anyway, it would take several months to go all the way.
