The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 552
Lu Zhi stood up angrily and said in a sharp voice: "Our family is ordered by the emperor to oversee the army, and we should live up to the grace of the sage. Now not only must we gradually slaughter large animals to reduce food consumption and increase meat supply, but we must also concentrate all food, Salt, meat, charcoal for that and that..."

Lu Zhi forgot Tang Daoheng's new vocabulary for a while, Tang Daoheng said: "All food and consumables will be rationed today, and there is no need for everyone to be full. Non-combatants will be supplied with two meals, and combatants will be provided with three meals." Eighty percent of the food is rationed."

The civil and military officials who participated in the consultation immediately began to discuss again in confusion. A Tunliang Tong judged: "I obey the order, but many steers, mules and horses are not military products, and they all have their own owners."

Tang Daoheng stood up and said proudly, "I am a military officer under the command of the Marquis of Nan'an. I participated in the decision-making of Jinzhou city defense today, so I will naturally take full responsibility for the policies formulated."

A garrison general said: "The 'God of War' Master Huang of Nan'an is admired by everyone in the army and people of Liaodong. Of course I can trust it, but I don't know how this little brother can take full responsibility?"

Huang Sheng's consistent style is to pay attention to the safety of the soldiers and civilians. In order to achieve this goal, he doesn't care about spending extra money at all, and his subordinates are also subtly affected by the Patriarch.

Tang Daoheng solemnly promised: "If our arrangement goes too far and Jiannu withdraws within half a year, how about the Huang family's compensation for all the slaughtered animals? Don't worry, the Huang family's words are like a mountain, and the Huang family can afford it!"

Damn, the Huang family is too arrogant and domineering, they are all promises, and they have money, and the promise of compensation is based on the fact that they can afford it, not bragging.

All civil and military officers looked at each other in blank dismay, and everyone silently watched this young man wearing a sixth-rank military officer's uniform, but no one stood up to refute.

Lu Zhi was also a bachelor, and he wished that Jianu would withdraw from the army as soon as possible. If Jianu left with nothing, he, the great eunuch who supervised the army, would have achieved great achievements.

He glanced at the civil and military officials and patted his chest: "Where is Master Huang going to spend money? If Jiannu retires within half a year, our family will pay everyone money."

The eunuchs are all royal eagles and dogs, and their loyalty is much higher than that of civil officials and military generals. Of course, Lu Zhi knew that if Jinzhou was lost, he would definitely have no way out.

He sincerely hoped that Jiannu would retreat in vain, and that it would not matter if Jinzhou lost a few large animals. As long as his own life and Jinzhou city were still alive, it would be fine.
Halo, the eunuch of the supervising army is a close minister of the emperor. He always expresses his position like this. Who would dare to worry about gains and losses?

Tang Daoheng brought less than 30 people, and there were more than a dozen spies who stayed in Jinzhou before. He is not going to engage in spy work at this time, but is going all out to deal with the battle of defending the city that will determine the survival of more than 3 people.

Although there are only less than 50 Huang's private soldiers in Jinzhou City, they have enough firepower to overthrow a Ming army's Ding Baizong. Tang Daoheng has 87 double-barreled short guns and [-] flintlock rifles. , There are five hundred "Flying Thunder".

Although there are no professional grenadiers in the team, every private soldier of Huang's family knows how to spin four times to get rid of the "flying thunder". It's nothing if they haven't been trained. Throwing thirty or forty steps condescendingly from behind is still a piece of cake.

Tang Daoheng accompanied Lu Zhi to check the inventory of Jinzhou's military equipment, and found that there were a lot of supplies, a lot of gunpowder, and two thousand matchlock guns.

Tang Daoheng led people to carefully select 2000 matchlock guns, selected 200 of the 800 young and strong, trained [-] people to use the Ming army standard long spears to stab, and trained [-] people to load matchlock guns to shoot.

Since the entire city of Jinzhou adopts a rationing system, non-combatants can only eat two meals a day, and if they are selected to participate in training, they become combatants and can eat three meals a day. have a meal.

The more reason is that they believe in the "God of War" Master Huang's command, and there is also an important reason, how can there be any eggs under the overturned nest?
It is true that at the critical moment of the city's offensive and defensive battles, even women and children will take up weapons and go to the city to fight. It would be nice to get the weapons earlier and practice them, at least they will have some fighting skills when they are desperate.

Jinzhou was united as a city, but it seemed that the later Jin army would not attack until Jinzhou ran out of food. After only three months, Tang Daoheng's status in Jinzhou was only lower than that of He Kegang and Lu Zhi, and he had already become the No. [-] leader of the defenders.

First, everyone has seen the vicious intentions of the Hou Jin army to starve the soldiers and civilians of Jinzhou to death. Second, everyone has seen the ability of the Huang family to train soldiers. In three months, two thousand people were trained to look decent, and their mental outlook was a little bit better. No worse than Liaodong Zhengbing.

The besiegers kept sending letters of persuasion into Jinzhou City, and they were always attacked by Jiannu. Tang Daoheng became angry, and sent musketeers around the clock to monitor Jiannu outside the city with binoculars and binoculars, and found enemy troops shooting letters into and out of the city. Killed on the spot.

With the remote monitoring of telescopes and binoculars, Jiannu who approached would of course suffer.

Without realizing it, the three Jiannu messengers came on horseback and were drawing their bows around the city wall. Seven flintlock rifles fired a salvo from the top of the city, and two of the three Jiannu messengers fell down.

Two hanging baskets were quickly lowered from the top of Jinzhou City, and two private soldiers of the Huang family who only wore steel armor jumped out of the hanging baskets as quickly as possible.

They wore two loaded double-barreled short guns in their waists to prevent accidents. They rushed to Jiannu's body and raised their knives. They carried their heads and started running back and forth. When they arrived under the city wall, the two immediately got into the hanging basket and hid tightly.

The Ming army responding from the top of the city immediately shook the potter's wheel desperately, and the hanging basket slowly left the ground and rose faster and faster.

The Jiannu cavalry behind saw the messenger being shot and killed, and there was even a Ming army who dared to come to the city to cut off his head. Damn, it was too deceitful.

Tang Daoheng had a plan long ago, and he did this either to ask for money or his life, or to stimulate Jiannu to attack.

The Ming army at the head of the city was already ready, and their black guns were aimed at the Jin army outside the city.

Jiannu swarmed up, and the quiet city of Jinzhou suddenly burst into crackling gunshots. Not only the musketeers of the Huang family started shooting, but also the nine smoothbore guns that had been loaded and ready to go were fired almost at the same time. There were many casualties.

And two brave Huang family warriors were successfully pulled to the top of the city. The result of Jiannu's victory was nothing more than nailing dozens of feather arrows into two hanging baskets. The two warriors hid well, so nothing happened.
