It's been a long time since I asked for a collection. Please just read the book. Friends who don't have a collection can collect this book. Thank you!
In terms of weapons, there are also plenty of them.
Thanks to the gift of Dajun, the weapons recovered by the Songshan Army from Jinzhou include 8 large blunderbuss, 2,500 fire blunderbuss, 720 standard long knives, 3,620 spears, 1,400 sets of crossbows and other bows and arrows. In addition, the weapons originally held by each army
Regarding weapons, Shi Dayong reluctantly estimated that it would be enough to requisition 5,000 Jinzhou young and strong soldiers.[
There are not many war horses. The horses in the city have been looted by the army, leaving less than 200 old, weak and disabled horses. The Songshan Army only brought back more than 700 war horses on the battlefield, and the total number did not reach 1,000. But fortunately, what happened next
The battle was a battle to defend the city and did not require field battles, so the war horses did not affect the situation of the battle to some extent. It was just a pity that Shi Dayong was a little regretful. When the Jin army was first defeated, there were thousands of main war horses scattered on the battlefield. It was a pity that he could not think of it at the time.
The wind direction will change, otherwise if he collects the main war horses and brings them back to Jinzhou in advance, he will suddenly become a wealthy man. Having these thousands of war horses will be of great help in organizing the cavalry in the future. Now, he can only regret it.
But where to find war horses in the future is a matter for the future. We will talk about it later. For now, let’s focus on how to defend Jinzhou.
If you cannot defend Jinzhou, nothing will happen. Only by defending Jinzhou can you have hope.
In view of the fact that the North Gate was the main attack point of the Jin army, and Zhao led his troops to guard Jinzhou, he also mainly defended the North Gate, so Shi Dayong assigned Huang An, Shao Wu, and Jiang Wanli 800 troops each, Songshan's own army, and Tuan Lian Wei's troops.
Each of the defeated troops accounted for one-third. Chen Angsu, the prefect of Jinzhou, was asked to organize 5,000 young and strong men to assist in the defense. After the young and strong men were organized, 500 more were transferred to Huang An and others. The rest were concentrated at the north gate and were on standby.
In terms of food, it is also very sufficient. Jinzhou was originally the place where the Ming army gathered food. Compared with Songshan, a transit station, the food in Jinzhou city was enough to feed 50,000 soldiers and civilians for more than a year. However, Qiu Hejia was still worried, and he told Shi Dayong
There are now no less than 100,000 Liao civilians in the city, plus the nearly 10,000 troops. Even though there is plenty of food in the city, it may not be able to last for more than half a year.
Shi Dayong was not worried about this. He told Qiu Hejia, not to mention that the Jin army had been injured in the battle between Xiaolinghe and Xiaolinghe. Whether it could really attack Jinzhou again was another question. Even though it was here,
Can it still be besieged for a long time like the Daling River?
Due to the influence of Xiaoglacier's climate, the day has instantly changed from the scorching summer to the bleak autumn wind, and the temperature is dropping every day. If the temperature continues to drop like this, the Jin Army vows to withdraw, otherwise it will snow heavily, and no matter how strong the Jin Army is,
, will also be defeated by the weather.
Even if the Jin army withstood the severe cold and laid siege to Jinzhou for a long time, there was no need to worry about food shortages. At least in the first month, the people of Jinzhou still had their own food reserves, which needed to be rationed by the army. Besides, there were so many big households in Jinzhou City.
, many of these people are engaged in the grain business, and they have a horrifying amount of grain at home. When there is a food crisis, just buy grain directly from these big households, and rob it if it is not sold. As long as Jinzhou can be defended, any means will be used.
Even if it is inconvenient to grab food, we must still be afraid of running out of food. Don't forget that Jinzhou is surrounded by the sea on three sides. He has no navy when he founded the slaves. When the time comes, the court will need to dispatch navy from Ningyuan and Denglai to transport the food to Jinzhou.
In short, Shi Dayong may not dare to guarantee anything else, but he dares to guarantee this food.
To put it bluntly, even if the situation does not go as expected, but goes to the worst side, like Hong Taizhen desperately surrounding Jinzhou, or if the food in the city is really eaten up, or if Chongzhen makes him faint.
Zhao, don't let Ningyuan, Denglai go to Jinzhou to transport grain, etc...
There is no need to worry about the problem of food shortage. There are certainly no less than one hundred thousand people in Jinzhou City, and there are also many large and unscrupulous merchants. If the day comes to an end, it is impossible to say that I will live a long life like my ancestor. Of course, before doing this beastly thing,
They must try to evacuate the common people from the sea, no matter how much they evacuate. In short, after the city is broken, Huang Taiji must get an empty city and never leave a single living person behind!
Of course, Shi Dayong did not dare to tell Qiu Hejia about this, and could only keep it deep in his heart.
…………
Although Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou, was an "eunuch" that officials in the DPRK and China denounced, he was also a talented person and was much more pragmatic than those Donglin officials.
Knowing that the army had been defeated, Chen Ang did not feel scared and immediately packed up his things and fled. Instead, he immediately found Qiu Hejia. He first expressed his responsibility as the prefect of Jinzhou and his duty to protect the land with Jinzhou, and then proposed that the prefect's Yamen should intervene.
Organize young men to defend the city, and also summon Jinzhou gentry to ask them to donate money to reward the army, so as to encourage the soldiers to defend the city. He even said that if necessary, he should go to the city with the soldiers and do what they can.
matter.
Qiu Hejia was greatly moved by this, and agreed with Chen Ang's proposal. He was even more impressed by Chen Ang. When the emperor came to the throne and eliminated the eunuchs, he was just a civil servant who followed what others said and had nothing to do with the so-called "eunuch" elements.
Real understanding. I only know that these people shamelessly followed Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch, and they must be shameless villains who are greedy for life and afraid of death. So after taking office in Liaodong, they treated Chen Ang, the "eunuch"
"The prefect was very unpopular with him. If Chen Ang hadn't had several Donglin friends in important positions in the court, he would have been impeached and dismissed from office long ago.
Looking at Chen Ang now, I immediately negated my previous impressions. While I lamented that Chen Ang was not afraid of death, I couldn't help but doubt my previous understanding of the "eunuch" elements.
But he didn't know that the so-called "eunuch party" were all false accusations made by the Donglin officials against the officials who had taken refuge in Wei Zhongxian. He didn't even know that seven out of ten eunuch party officials wanted to serve the country, but they suffered from being betrayed by Donglin.
Lin suppressed the situation and couldn't stand those Donglin officials who were working with the party and opposing dissenters all day long but did not care about political affairs and did not understand political affairs, so he turned to Wei Zhongxian, hoping that with the help of Eunuch Wei, he could do some practical things for the Ming Dynasty.[
However, both Wei Gong succeeds and Wei Gong fails. There are many officials like Chen Ang who are dedicated to doing things for the country, but now they are scolded by others with the dirty name of being a remnant of the "eunuch party". Good luck like Chen Ang
There are only a few officials who can come back, but most of them are discouraged and have retired to the countryside and no longer care about state affairs.
Shi Dayong also met with Chen Ang several times, and made some requests to the other party regarding the recruitment of young men and women to help defend the city. In addition, he also asked him to come forward to appease the people in the city. After Chen Ang agreed one by one, Shi Dayong proposed to him the military control of Jinzhou.
The problem.
Chen Ang didn't know what "military control" meant, but Shi Dayong told him that from now on, all soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City must obey his and Governor Qiu's orders. Except for his and Governor Qiu's orders, no one else's orders
Don't count.
Hearing this, Chen Ang was shocked. He was a prefect of the fourth rank, and Shi Dayong was only a general of the third rank. The Ming Dynasty was noble in culture and military but lowly in military affairs. In front of him, a prefect of the fourth rank, Shi Dayong, a general of the third rank, could not do anything.
It is impossible to give orders to him. Instead, he has to perform courtesy and cannot even treat him as an equal!
He could deign to come personally to discuss the city defense affairs with Shi Dayong because of the safety of Jinzhou and the fate of the hundreds of thousands of people in the city. He did not want the other party to make an unreasonable request that was unacceptable, which really made him extremely angry.
Qiu Hejia was the governor, so it was natural to obey his orders, but why should he, the magistrate, also obey his orders?
Chen Ang couldn't figure it out. No matter how pragmatic he was, he couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. This was related to the face of his prefect. If he agreed to it, how would he be asked to meet people if word spread in the future!
Without even thinking about it, he angrily refused: "I am the magistrate of Jinzhou appointed by the imperial court. Although General Shi has the responsibility to defend the territory, I am also slacking off in my duties. You and I have different paths in civil and military affairs, and we should each abide by our duties. Within our duties,
Just do your job, and as for military management and obeying orders, I will pretend that I have never heard of it, so you can take care of it yourself!" He spoke of the position of "general" very seriously, and stood up to leave.
Not wanting to, Shi Dayong reached out to stop him, stared at him coldly, and said with a grin: "Master Chen, this general is not discussing with you, nor is I discussing anything with you, but giving you an order. Listen clearly, yes
Order, this general, as Jinzhou’s general, orders you, Chen Ang, the prefect of Jinzhou. From now on, all major and minor matters in Jinzhou city must be reported to me for my approval, otherwise, I will dismiss you as the prefect of Jinzhou!"
