Chapter 495 The Miserable Reappearance

In Jianzhou, the leader of the Huifa tribe set a precedent by taking the initiative to surrender and counterattack, enabling the Ming army to take the city of Hetuala at a small cost.

But in the entire Liaodong battlefield, the Huifa Department was not number one.

As early as two days ago, both gates of Liaoyang City were opened, and Huanglong's troops rushed in, wiped out three thousand enemies, and regained the important city.But it was Wu Bahai and Gebaku, the leaders of Yehe's tribe, who did the meritorious deeds.

The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, facing the counterattack of the Ming army with strong troops and high morale, the split of the Houjin bandit group became more and more obvious and more frequent.

The trench defense line established by Jiannu in the south of Shenyang also collapsed under the onslaught of the Ming army.The captured Han soldiers showed bravery, and with the support of intensive artillery fire, many Jiannu were killed and wounded.

The reason for the final collapse of the defense line was not just the fierce attack of the Ming army.The navy of the Ming army suddenly appeared in the Hunhe River and went upstream to take Shenyang directly, which was tantamount to cutting off the retreat of the Jiannu who blocked the Ming army.

Yue Tuo and Fan Wencheng didn't dare to fight any more, and led the remnant soldiers to retreat in a panic. After escaping the Hun River, they set fire to the bridge in order to stop the Ming army.

But their attempts did not have much effect. The Ming army had a complete range of land and water troops. After building a pontoon bridge, they crossed the river in a large scale, and their soldiers pointed directly at Shenyang.

Yue Tuo's troops, who were defeated and retreated back to Shenyang, did not dare to stay longer, and retreated eastward to protect the last batch of Jurchen people.

A vision of the end of the dynasty? !

Fan Wencheng rode on a horse and traveled eastward with the army, and all he saw were panicked Jurchen civilians.Dragging a family, driving a car and riding a horse, weaving forward in the cold wind, I heard the sound of crying from time to time.

The feng shui turns, it's really a good way to pay back, and the retribution is not good.

After the old slave rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, he attacked the city and plundered land in Liaodong, causing many Liao people's families to be ruined and their wives to be separated.

In order to strengthen control over the Han people in Liaodong and prevent defection, the old slave also ordered the relocation of the Han people many times.

On November [-]th, the first year of Tianqi, Lao Nu ordered all the Han people living in villages along the Yalu River, such as Changdian, Yongdian, Dadian, Xindian, and Guhe, to move to the castle where the Jurchens lived, and to be separated from the Jurchens. live together.

On November [-]th of the first year of Tianqi, Nurhachi sent Amin to lead thousands of troops to Zhenjiang, Kuandian, Kuihe, Tangshan, Zhendong, Zhenxi, Xincheng and other places, and moved the residents to Fushun, Sarhu and other places. area.

In the fourth year of the apocalypse, the old slave sent Li Qigu to allocate the people from Daheishan to the tiger skin station.

The Liao people who were forcibly relocated received a relocation order on the first day and were driven on the road the next day.

It starts from the Daling River in the west, ends at the Yalu River in the east, reaches Jinzhou in the south, reaches Puhe in the north, goes to the Liaohe River in the west, and goes north to the mountains along the river.

The urban residents moved to the villages, helped the old and brought the young, swept out the house, the city corridors were empty, the fields were abandoned, the crying shook the fields, and they left their homes.Those who have a little attachment will be massacred.

For the relocated Liao people, the men were whipped, their wives and daughters were abused, the old and the weak filled the ditches, and the children and babies were abandoned by the roadside.During the day, I went on the road with hunger and hunger, and slept in the countryside at night in the cold.

They were driven to strange villages, exhausted, and had to become serfs in Houjin.

Now, Jianu has also tasted this pain.Leaving the cities and houses they looted and looting, braved the cold, and went to the destination where they didn't know where to stop.

"The Ming army is still on the move, and they must complete their efforts in one battle." Fan Wencheng approached Li Yongfang and said in a low voice.

Li Yongfang was left in Shenyang to meet Yuetuo's troops. To put it bluntly, he was the queen. Such a decision also showed that Dorgon, Daishan and others did not trust him.

At this time, not to mention Han officials and generals, even the descendants of Jurchen's various ministries must take precautions.Besides, Li Yongfang didn't seem to have much use value.

Li Yongfang sighed softly, and said slowly: "Since it is the power of the whole country, how can we give up halfway? It is not so easy for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to raise enough money and supplies."

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "If it can last another year or a half, the Ming Kingdom may not be able to last."

Li Yongfang gave Fan Wencheng a strange look, wondering why he had such an idea.

Fan Wencheng saw Li Yongfang's doubts, and slowly explained: "It has been several years, training and raising troops, adding equipment, and food and supplies. How much money has been spent, and where did it come from?"

After a pause, he continued: "How can corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen, gentry, and landlords seize their wealth in the long run? According to what a certain person sees, the next emperor of the Ming Dynasty has no choice but to attack the dignitaries and vassals. .”

Li Yongfang thought for a while and said, "You mean, if Dajin can sustain it, there will be civil strife in Ming Dynasty?"

"It should be." Fan Wencheng gave an affirmative answer, but it was not definitive, and he was also a little uncertain.

Li Yongfang raised her head, looked at the soldiers and civilians who were winding forward, and finally smiled wryly after a long while, and said, "I don't agree with your judgment."

Oh?Fan Wencheng stared at the past, also puzzled and doubtful.

Li Yongfang narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "You only saw that the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ransacked his home for a few years, but you didn't realize that he didn't increase taxes? Not only didn't they increase, but they also reduced or exempted them. What does that mean?"

Fan Wencheng frowned, the answer was not difficult, and said: "It means that the finances can still be supported as much as possible, and it won't dry up the marsh for fishing and stir up civil strife."

"The Ming army is already so powerful, who would dare to expose it?" Li Yongfang shook her head, and said, "Although the emperor of the Ming Kingdom is young, he understands things very well, and he has ruthless methods that are not afraid of being stigmatized. Difficult to deal with."

deal with? !Is it a misnomer to say this now?

Fan Wencheng showed an ugly smile, and said: "I am not afraid of what is recorded in the history books, and I am not afraid of the resentment of the scholars. I only want to make money and strengthen the army. This stupid king is really powerful."

"Fun Lord—" Li Yongfang smiled wryly, and sighed, "No matter how much the gentry and scholars scold him, no matter how much history books are written, it will not help!"

Fan Wencheng also sighed heavily, saying it was all useless, and it didn't help at all to change the current decline.

Unless the Ming emperor died suddenly, the Ming army might stop the counterattack and give Daikin time to breathe.

But even if this fantasy can come true, Daikin, whose troops are greatly reduced and food and supplies are scarce, will have a very sad winter.

At this moment, a messenger flew to report to Yue Tuo.Soon, Yue Tuo's order was handed down, to speed up and not stop when passing through Fushun.

From the direction where the messenger came, both Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang knew that it was a letter and an order from the Dabeile Daishan or the new Khan who retreated north first.

Since it wasn't the news of the chasing troops behind them, they suddenly had to speed up their retreat, and even Fushun didn't stop to rest. Could it be that the Ming army blocked the way to retreat north?

Could it be that Jianzhou fell, and Dongjiang Town copied Saarhu, trying to cut off the way to retreat to the north?

Fan Wencheng and Li Yongfang looked at each other, and they both saw the panic in each other's eyes.But no one spoke to speak out of this most terrible conjecture.
