After Huang Taiji attacked Ningjin's defense line several times, he felt that it was difficult to conquer.

With the troops in his hands alone, once all the defense lines are knocked down, there will not be many men left in his hands. How can he rob the Ming Dynasty?

Because Hou Jin was also a bunch of poor people who lived by killing, burning, and looting, almost all the people in Liaodong ran away, and those who didn't ran were made into slaves by them.

What's more, construction can't be done as quickly as grabbing it?

Therefore, Huang Taiji led his army through Mongolia, guided by the Mongolian Karaqin cavalry.

His so-called 100,000-strong army (including Mongolian servants) was divided into three routes, avoiding Ningyuan and Jinzhou, and broke into the pass through Longjingkou, Hongshankou and Da'ankou.

Since the disappearance of the Qi family's army, the fortress walls at Ji Zhen have fallen into decay and the army has been depleted. Hou Jin successfully broke through the Great Wall without encountering any strong resistance.

There is only one direct route from here to the capital, from Xifengkou to Zunhua, from Zunhua to Jixian, from Jixian to Sanhe, to Tongzhou, and finally to the capital.

This stretch of road is less than five hundred miles.

Therefore, there is no reason why Emperor Chongzhen should not be anxious.

Then the governor of the three sides, Yang He, put down his bargaining and began to deal with Hou Jin's offensive.

Hou Jin's attack will soon affect the whole country, and Yang He, Hong Chengchou and others will soon receive news from King Qin.

But all this has nothing to do with He Jinchao.

After this victory over the official army, although the Ming Dynasty defender He Kuai was killed, more than 2,000 people were killed (including the rebels who surrendered).

These people who surrendered fought the hardest because they had no way back.

It seems that wearing the clothes of the officers and soldiers can greatly increase their combat power. I think they will be as brave as the officers and soldiers who beat them.

But what makes you brave is never the clothes you wear.

Even with the city advantage, our losses were still more than 400 people.

He Jinchao looked at the red circles on the roster and felt his eyes were a bit blurry.

Finally, he put down the red pen in his hand, turned his head and asked, "Old Party, do all these people have any heirs?"

"It's hard to eat, how can we afford a wife? We just had a few good days when the army came to encircle and suppress us."

Dang Shousu knew that He Jinchao had found women for many of his old brothers to get married.

But it has only been half a year, and even if the baby is pregnant, the baby has not yet been born.

More and more people are still single.

He Jinchao stood up and walked around: "I remember there were many children in the camp."

"good."

"Do you think it would be okay if I asked these people to consider their deceased brothers as their fathers?" He Jinzhao asked this question with a suspicious look on his face.

Because ancient people attached great importance to the continuity of offspring, this is why poor families favor sons over daughters, and there are even incidents of drowning female infants.

In the countryside, if you have many sons, you won't be bullied, just because you have children.

If you give birth to several daughters, just wait to be bullied, it's just so unreasonable.

"What does the captain mean by asking them to become adopted sons of their dead brothers?"

"Yes." He Jinchao stopped: "Many brothers in the army are not married and have no children. After death, the pension cannot be distributed. I can't lie to them."

Because he remembered that Li Dingguo followed Zhang Xianzhong when he was about ten years old and became his adopted son. After Zhang Xianzhong died, he changed his surname back to his original name.

In two years' time, bandits may invade Ganquan and kill them all.

He Zan became more and more frightened. As soon as He Jinchao used this trick, the living people became more loyal to him.

Even those children who are adopted by others will be loyal to He Jinzhao when they grow up.

In fact, ordinary people don't have much ideals. Regarding matters after death, as long as they have heirs to worship them.

"I think it's a good idea."

He Zan said, "The dead brothers will not complain.

After all, these people should have died half a year ago. As a result, not only were they able to eat every day before their death, but they also did some enjoyable things, and nominally had children.

Moreover, the combat effectiveness will be stronger, because everyone is from the same hometown, and the relationship is still father-son, brother.

Could it be that your father, brother, and friend are dead?

Do you still want to go to the grave and say that the enemy is too strong? From today on, we will cut off our hair, sever the relationship between father and son, and we will not avenge you?

He Zan didn't know about Lu Xiangsheng or Zeng Guofan's recruitment requirements.

But he could see He Jinchao’s intentions!

Although this kind of relationship is conflicted by one person, it will cause many people to conflict together.

The problem is that once someone escapes, they will take a large number of people with them.

"Then first ask the orphans in the army if they are willing to be sons for their dead brothers. You can also ask all the orphans in Ganquan County. Female babies are also acceptable."

"Um."

Hearing that Dang Shousu agreed, He Jinzhao took a few more steps: "Those who are injured in the army and cannot return to the army must be well taken care of and incorporated into the logistics team. The treatment must not be bad."

"yes."

Dang Shousu hurriedly wrote down another item. As a person in charge of logistics, he could write many words.

He Zan finally saw that He Jinchao wanted to tie everyone to his chariot.

In this case, who wouldn’t try their best?

Unlike the officers and soldiers, you deserve to be unlucky if you are disabled.

As for how you will live the rest of your life, how you will live your love life, you think the imperial court is your home!

Anyway, don't bother the court.

He Zan, who had been with the army of the Ming Dynasty for a long time, although he sympathized with these disabled veterans in the past, it was only sympathy.

Relief cannot come.

How can there be so much silver?

"As for the damaged Hundreds, there is no need to rush to replenish the personnel for the time being. We are ready to leave Ganquan County."

He Jinchao felt that the time had come to move into the Shanxi Sangui Zone and try to establish a base area.

"Captain, are you in too much of a hurry?"

Dang Shousu felt that if he left Ganquan County just after his victory, would it create opportunities for the army?

"Be prepared. Mobilize in advance to avoid being in a hurry later."

He Jinchao waved his hand casually and drew many routes on the map.

As far as he knew, Hou Jin would enter the customs and plunder Beijing when the time came, and King Qin from various places, especially Shaanxi and other places, would go there.

No matter what, you must show up to be the Savior!

Taking advantage of the busy situation of the Ming Dynasty, he left Shaanxi, a place that was in a mess and could not develop with peace of mind.

"As for the officers and soldiers, this battle has deprived them of their morale. If they encounter us in the future, they won't go around, even if they have the guts."

He Jinchao didn't brag. All in all, these officers and soldiers only wanted to get rich and were interested in picking soft targets.

When encountering something hard, they will weigh it themselves in advance.

"Hong Chengchou will never give up."

He Zan also looked at the map drawn by He Jinchao, and it seemed that he was going to Wanda, Shanxi Province.

Because Gao Yingchun's repeated horizontal jumps in Shanxi, Shaanxi, were so effective that Shanxi became numb.

The officers and soldiers complained a lot and were unwilling to waste their efforts. When they arrived at the designated place, not even a single thief of the bandits was found.

He Jinzhao nodded: "Well, I was just trying to talk to him and ask him to help us with some supplies."
