Chapter 599: In Liaoyang City

The announcement was made. This was the realm that the generals liked most in ancient times. In other words, there was no need to fight. Just sending people to call for surrender can easily make the other party give up resistance. At present, this is the situation in Liao Town north of Shenyang. According to the statistics of the officials in various residential areas, the collapsed war, except for a small part, the rest of the people have returned to their residences.

He took his own land with peace of mind and prepared to be a submissive citizen under Huazhou. The defeated soldiers were left as bandits. This was also a headache for all dynasties. However, the Huazhou army had enough confidence. When it was disintegrated that day, those who refused to put down their weapons were afraid that they would be chopped off their heads.

The remaining people will be spared by the cavalry only if they throw away their weapons. These people will definitely not be bandits with wooden sticks, and the weather is getting colder, and staying in the wilderness in the north is similar to seeking death. Moreover, even if they are bandits, how can they fight against the Liao people who are ready to defend their own victory fruits? It is not worth mentioning when fighting, let alone robbing them when they are hungry.

Jiang Feng's army was in Liao Town as if it was on the territory of Huazhou. The surrendered Liao Town soldiers and civilians all sighed in their hearts that Jiang Feng really had the spirit of a king and believed in surrendered generals very much.

However, he did not expect that after the war between Jiang Feng and the officers of Huazhou and the Ming army, he was already disdainful of the combat effectiveness of the military and civilians in Liao Town. Jiang Feng knew in his heart that even if someone did something behind and caused an accident, he could be exterminated by relying solely on the regiment training of the North Prefecture outside the pass, so why worry?

Although Liao Town, which could be called combat-capable, and their personal soldiers were all trained as regiments, according to Huazhou's training system, they might have combat-capable soon, but by then, they had been completely integrated into Huazhou's system, and there was no reason for rebellion.

Liao Town has a flat terrain, and both official roads and large and small roads are very convenient. With relatively developed waterways, a large number of materials and soldiers are moving very quickly.

The so-called defending the city has become a joke. On the seventh day after the Liao Town General led the remnants to retreat into Shenyang, the Huazhou Army's brigade had already arrived at the city of Shenyang. During this period, the Ming army had not even blocked the city gates. Moreover, because the Sima of Huazhou was engaged in the movement, the connections and influence accumulated by the business companies over the years, the people in Shenyang knew that the Huazhou Army was a army that was dissatisfied with the tyranny of the court and was ready to change. At this time, the policies of "three civilians and seven officials" and "a thousand households were used to draw hundreds of people" in the local area had not been passed.

But the fear of this sudden army has disappeared a lot in the hearts of the soldiers and people in Liao Town. Compared with the feelings of the residents of Liao Town, Li Gufeng and the personal soldiers and generals he led were only afraid. In just a few days of fighting, it looked extremely powerful. Nearly 100,000 troops collapsed quickly and were chased and rushed south. Seeing that there were only more than 5,000 panic-defying personal soldiers left beside him.

When Li Gufeng, the general of Liao Town, saw the Huazhou army approaching the north, he was not at all willing to arrange defense. He directly led his personal soldiers out of the city from the southern gate of Shenyang to Liaoyang. Two thousand troops were divided into the Huazhou army and entered the city to defend, while the remaining troops did not stop and followed him to Liaoyang.

Chenyang is now the top ten major cities in China and the largest city in the Northeast. In this era, its scale and status are far inferior to Liaoyang. At this time, Liaoyang was the center of the entire Liao Town, and the administrative offices of Liao Town generals and officials of all dynasties were all stationed here.

The city has been strengthened by construction and construction over the years and is operated like an iron barrel, of course it is the iron barrel of this era.

The "iron barrel" is now in chaos. The governor of Ji Liao and the eunuchs who supervised the army did not expect such a result. In fact, the news of the defeat was brought by the general of Liao Town. The governor of Ji Liao Xu Lun was a scholar and felt that the sky was about to collapse.

The eunuch in charge even knew that he was finished, and he didn't know how much money he had to give to Eunuch Rui in the capital to erase his guilt.

At this time, these two people were still thinking that Li Gufeng was defending Shenyang, and he was guarding Liaoyang. At the same time, he sent messengers to the capital to seek help to see if there was any recurrence. These people all understood in their hearts that the huge territory north of Shenyang was occupied by the Huazhou army, and it would always take a lot of time to pacify and govern. By the time they marched into Shenyang and Liaoyang, it would have been a few months or a year later.

The scholars and eunuchs' understanding of military affairs is mostly naive and ridiculous. This time it was almost the same. When the general of Liao Town led his subordinates to enter Liaoyang in panic, he realized that the Huazhou army was already at the city. At this time, Li Gufeng ordered the whole city to blockade and began to arrange city defenses. Except for the messenger who reported the news, the rest were strictly prohibited from leaving the city.

The journey from Shenyang to Liaoyang is only a day and a half. Before the people from Liaoyang City are ready, the Huazhou army has arrived.

At this time, the general of Liao Town, Li Gufeng, finally began to arrange soldiers to block the city gate and prepare various city defense weapons. No one knew whether the city could be kept under control after falling to the ground. Anyway, he was doing his best to know the destiny. However, Li Gufeng did not urge him, Xu Lun, the governor of Ji Liao and the eunuchs in charge of the army did not understand, and the soldiers below were all dealing with the matter and doing it sloppy.

The general account of Sanjiang Trading Company is in Liaoyang. Huang Liping, the shopkeeper who was originally in the capital, was promoted to the general account to be a big manager because of his outstanding business performance. It is obviously impossible to do such a big deal without official relationship. The general account of Sanjiang Trading Company has long been contacted by officials in the capital and Liao Town.

Among the many business deals in Liao Town, there are Ming army officers in it, otherwise the goods coming from the Northern Prefecture outside the pass would not be so unobstructed to the pass.

This time the city lockdown was full of restlessness. If it weren't for the maintenance of order by Li Gufeng's personal soldiers, someone would have taken advantage of the situation to rob or become in chaos. On the contrary, the shopkeepers of Sanjiang Trading Company were extremely calm, and in addition to closing the shops in the city, they should not be robbed in the chaos.

From Huang Liping to the several accounting rooms and the staff leaders below, they all looked safe and sound, which made the people around them admire them. Such calmness in the face of disaster is really the temperament of a big shop.

This calmness is nothing. Huang Liping, the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, didn't know what was going on, so he asked the accountants and the client to settle the silver, saying that he wanted to send all the money earned by Liao Town General Li Gufeng to him. Anyone who knew the news thought that Huang Liping was stupid.

Who would still care about these silver in such a messy day? It would be so stupid to settle the accounts so clearly. Maybe the general of Liao Town Li Gufeng could not remember this matter at all, and the silver belongs to him.

No one's persuasion and sarcasm had any impact on Huang Liping of Sanjiang Commercial Bank. He still collected enough cash and ordered the guys to take the cash to visit the Liao Town General's Office. Everyone said that Huang Liping was a little confused, but he didn't notice that the eunuchs of the military supervisor and the governor of Ji Liao were also in it. Why didn't Huang Liping take the initiative to give them silver?

The first silence of the General's Mansion was completely different from the crowded city a few months ago. The personal soldiers guarding at the door stood guard listlessly. After General Li Gufeng returned to Liaoyang, he stayed in his door. The city defense arrangements were carried out by several officers below, completely like a faction waiting for failure.

Originally, the general's order was not seen by all the guests, but the soldiers guarding the gate saw that Huang Liping, the shopkeeper of Sanjiang Trading Company, was coming to give away money. They usually knew that the boss was the general's God of Wealth, with his hands and eyes, and these personal soldiers were also somewhat beneficial.

It was really hard to stop it. After getting some benefits from the personal soldiers outside, he hurried in to communicate. Soon, the personal soldiers ran out with surprise and saw Li Gufeng, the general of Liao Town.

At this time, a group of soldiers ran past the general's gate nervously. The officer in charge shouted, "The enemy's troops have surrounded all four gates of Liaoyang City." It seems that the attack has not started yet, otherwise the officer would not have said that.

The shopkeeper Huang Liping entered the General's Mansion with high spirits. The Liao Town General Li Gufeng was waiting in the inner hall. Li Gufeng did not look depressed. He could not tell that Liaoyang City was already surrounded by a large army. Li Gufeng was wearing a cotton robe. When he saw Huang Liping coming in, he waved his hand and repelled his left and right, stared at Huang Liping who was bowing and bowing for a while, and suddenly said with a smile:

"Is Manager Huang here to persuade him to surrender? I thought that if he returns victoriously, the first thing he will do is to confiscate your business."

Huang Liping was not panicked by the other party's drink, but instead stood up straight and said with a smile:

"There are millions of people, hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and thousands of miles of land in Liao Town. The general lost all his money. Do you still want to continue to serve the country loyally? This is a matter of unstable position, or may the adults feel that there is still a possibility of victory?"

"If it wins, how dare you speak to me like this? It's just... I don't know what position I can do if I surrendered to the past?"

"My general, when you reach such a point, what position do you think about? Being a rich man and keeping your whole family peaceful is already the great grace of King Hua."
