I'm a big dick

Chapter 37
In history, Sun Degong scared away Wang Huazhen and captured Guangning City with more than a thousand rebels. This should have really surprised the old slave, and he couldn't believe it.

"Report to King Khan, the vanguard has arrived at the city of Guangning, and there is no movement on the city." The messenger came on horseback, jumped off and knelt down on one knee, and reported respectfully.

The old slave didn't seem to be surprised by this, and said: "Set up the formation first, and investigate clearly. By the way, tell Mangurtai not to rush to attack the city."

"Yes." The communications soldier responded, got on his horse, and left in the dust.

The old slave raised his eyes and looked at it, then stretched out his hand and said, "Yongfang, come here."

After Li Yongfang rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and invested in gold, he was very popular.The old slave also married his granddaughter, the daughter of the seventh son Abatai, to him, making Li Yongfang the first Han Chinese "forehead son-in-law" in Manchu history.

Because Li Yongfang was born and raised in Liaodong, and was a former general of the Ming Dynasty, he was very familiar with the situation in the Ming Dynasty and had many connections.

Therefore, the old slave did his best to make Li Yongfang the "secret chief" of Houjin, engaged in intelligence and instigating rebellion.

Li Yongfang also did a very good job. He sent spies all over Liaodong. Some responded internally, some opened the door to surrender, some caused chaos, and some helped instigate rebellion. They could even hear the movement of the capital.

When the Later Jin army captured Shenyang City, the internal resources should be extremely powerful. "There are more than a hundred Liao clans who communicate with Li Yongfang."

The Ming Dynasty was also well aware of the potential threat of Li Yongfang, and spared no effort to win over Li Yongfang and made various promises, but none of them could shake Li Yongfang.

For example, Wang Huazhen sent Sun Degong to counter Li Yongfang.Not only was he unsuccessful, but Sun Degong was bribed by Li Yongfang to instigate rebellion.It can be said that if you steal chickens, you will lose money, and you will lose a lot.

The big traitor Li Yongfang came to him and respectfully saluted him, "King Khan, you are here for a humble job, what do you want me to do?"

The old slave smiled and raised his hand to signal Li Yongfang to walk with him.

Li Yongfang didn't dare, she was half a horse's head behind, leaned slightly, and waited for her grandfather's order.

"Sun Degong fled back to Guangning, can he gain Wang Huazhen's trust again?" The old slave lashed his leather boots lightly with a horsewhip and asked without looking back.

Li Yongfang replied cautiously: "Wang Huazhen relied on Sun Degong as his confidant and obeyed his words. Although there was a defeat in Shaling, the chief soldier and general were dead, and Sun Degong had the highest official rank. Even if someone identified him, Wang Huazhen might not listen to him."

After a pause, Li Yongfang continued: "Furthermore, I have sent an internal agent to hide in Guangning. Sun Degong can't accomplish anything, and the internal agent can also create chaos."

The old slave nodded slightly, smiled, and said: "The elite of the Guangning army has been defeated in Shaling, and the troops left behind are weak. Seeing our army approaching the city, people must be panic-stricken. If there are internal forces to create chaos, breaking the city will be easy. "

"King Khan is wise." Li Yongfang cupped his hands and complimented, "It's ridiculous that Wang Huazhen is so shameless, and even sent a letter to persuade King Khan to come down, it's so stupid."

Hahahaha, the old servant became happy when he heard the funny thing.After a while, the old slave said with a smile: "If Wang Huazhen can be captured alive, he will read the letter again. Such joy is rare in the world!"

"King Khan is very right." Li Yongfang also jokingly said: "The humble officer can't help but want to laugh when he thinks of Governor Wang, who is a prisoner, reading the letter to surrender King Khan."

The old slave made up the scene described by Li Yongfang again, laughed out loud again, and urged the horse to run towards Guangning City.

............... ..
The flags and drums on Guangning City were quiet, and it looked peaceful, only the governor's flag was fluttering in the wind.But the city is already in full swing, and the arrangements are basically made.

In view of the fall of Shenyang and Liaoyang, Xiong Tingbi closed the city gates after entering the city, allowing entry and no exit, and blocked the news, in case the Jin army learned about it and rushed to attack the city.

Beheading Sun Degong and other rebel generals and hanging their heads for public display was just a deterrent.The search for traitors and the elimination of hidden dangers also began after the closure of the city.

The granary, government treasury, military equipment depot, gunpowder depot and other key places have been strengthened and guarded, and elite soldiers have been sent to protect them.

Residents in the city are selected according to the Baojia to be brave and brave, and they are led by government servants to maintain law and order and supervise and inspect.Anyone who is suspicious will be detained as much as possible.

The foreign personnel stranded in the city are the focus of investigation and screening, and they are interrogated by Jin Yiwei.Even if they are innocent and unsuspecting, they all live together and send soldiers to guard them.

Not to mention, after this series of measures, more than a dozen Houjin spies were found out.Some Han Chinese and some Mongols were all beheaded in public and hung in various parts of the city.

There must still be fish that slipped through the net, but it is already impossible to do things in the heavily guarded city.

Xiong Tingbi also closed all the gates of the city with bricks and stones, clearly telling the soldiers and civilians in the city that it is impossible to escape from the city, and the only way to survive is to guard the city.

The so-called putting them to death and then reviving them would not arouse the determination and will of the soldiers and civilians in the city to fight to the death.

The food, grass and military resources in Guangning City are sufficient, and there are more than 200 artillery pieces alone.One part is an imitation European-made Francophone improved during the Zhengde period, and the other part is a domestically produced tiger crouching gun.

Of course, these artillery are not as powerful as the Hongyi cannon, but they can also play a great role in defending the city.

In addition to artillery, there are also many Ming army's favorite three-eyed blunderbuss, as well as the bird blunderbuss that they are afraid to use in the city.

In the past two or three days, Xiong Tingbi worked hard and slept only two hours a day, and finally felt that Guangning City was able to hold on.

In the city tower, looking at the surging Hou Jin army, Xiong Tingbi's face was calm, appearing calm and self-possessed.

The reason why he didn't raise his banner was, of course, that he wanted to let the Hou Jin army underestimate the enemy and kill more people in the siege.

As an old army, Xiong Tingbi could see clearly that the Hou Jin army looked aggressive, but did not carry siege equipment.Or, the siege equipment is in the back team, and it hasn't been brought up yet!

This is nothing to be afraid of, even if the Hou Jin army is all monkeys, it is difficult to climb the towering city wall.

With a flash in his eyes, Xiong Tingbi saw a hundred households of Jin Yiwei surnamed Ma walking up the city wall, followed by two Jin Yiwei men carrying arrow pots on their backs.

What interested Xiong Tingbi was that Ma Baihu was carrying a strong bow, which was the standard bow and crossbow of the Ming army, and it should have been picked from the arsenal.

Eight stone bows, Xiong Tingbi admired secretly, at least this Ma Baihu's strength is not small.You know, the largest bow in the Ming army seems to be eight stones.

Ma Chengfei, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, didn't know that Xiong Tingbi was interested in him, so he walked to the crenel of the city wall and looked up into the distance.

Later, the Jin army was still coming, and the vanguard had already set up a formation outside the city gate. It should be in case the Ming army suddenly opened the city gate and came out to attack.
