Chapter 60 Awareness of righteousness and persuading ancestors to surrender to their birthday (Part 1)
Update time:2012-10-19
Song Wei and Wu Xiang's troops suffered a disastrous defeat due to fog, with most of them dead and wounded. Only about 2,000 remaining soldiers fled back to Jinzhou. From then on, everyone in Jinzhou City was afraid, and no one dared to speak out to help Dalinghe.
Shi Dayong, who was responsible for defending the city, did not expect that Song and Wu would flee back. He originally wanted to gather their defeated soldiers for his own use, but at this moment he could only give up the idea.
The news of the defeat came to Guanmen by horseback. Qiu Hejia urgently asked Sun Chengzong in the military report to send Guanmen troops to help as soon as possible. Otherwise, he was afraid that Zu Dashou's troops would not be able to support him, or he would lose the idea of holding on when the reinforcements failed.
Sun Chengzong informed: Reinforcements are being mobilized, but it will take fifteen days to arrive.[
Reinforcements would still take some time, Song and Wu were defeated again, and Jinzhou could send no more troops. Although he was worried about the tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Daling River City, Qiu Hejia could only look at the Daling River and sigh.
After being ordered to hand over the defense of Jinzhou City to Wu Xiang's troops, Shi Dayong returned to his base camp. He did not leave the camp for days, and ate and slept with Cao Bianjiao, Xia Desheng and other generals. He got up early every day before dawn, just to be able to fight with the Wolf Cavalry soldiers.
Train together.
The craftsmen led by Lao Qin have made two hundred sets of armor, and the remaining one hundred sets can be made within six days.
Jiang Wanli and others who were ordered to bury the fallen soldiers of the cavalry battalion returned to the camp one after another. Huang An and Shao Wu were unable to return to the team in a short time due to the long journey.
Recently, someone from a Ningyuan coffin shop came to the camp to ask for money for the coffin, and Shi Dayong paid for it with the internal funds given by Emperor Chongzhen.
Half of Zong Ma Zhong's face was cut off, and he was seriously injured and difficult to treat. At that time, he could only hold on with one breath. After returning to Jinzhou, he fell into a coma, and his breathing was very weak. He died at the sight. Fortunately, Ningyuan's name was Zhao Shihe.
He was treated by an old doctor and his life was saved.
All the silver reward from the Ministry of War was in the hands of Dalinghe City Ancestor Dashou. Now that Dalinghe was besieged, the reward money went into the hands of Shi Dayong. After discussing with Jiang Wanli and others, it was decided that after all the Wuyong Second Battalion returned to the army, the emperor
The reward money will be allocated first. If Dalinghe City can be rescued, then ask Zu Dashou for the money from the Ministry of War. If Dalinghe is lost, make it clear to the soldiers. I don't think the soldiers will complain.
In his implementation, Dayong planned to give half of the reward money to the families of the fallen soldiers, but the money in his hands was too little. If the Ministry of War could distribute the part, it would be barely enough. But now the reward money from the Ministry of War is in the hands of the ancestors.
On the birthday, the ten thousand taels given by Chongzhen were not enough. In addition, two thousand taels were already taken out for making armor. If half of the remaining seven thousand taels were given to the families of the fallen soldiers, what would happen if they were alive?
There are really not many soldiers who can get it.
Fortunately, there is money for pensions, but it has not been allocated yet. The court is also surprised. The money for the pensions has been allocated very quickly, but the money for pensions for the dead is still hanging in the household department.
Just hang it if you want. No matter how poor the imperial court is, it won't be able to allocate money for the pensions of the fallen soldiers.
Thinking of this, Shi Dayong decided to distribute the more than 7,000 taels of silver left in his hand to the living people first. When he has the money in the future, he will go back to Changping in person and visit one by one to distribute it to the fellow villagers he brought out.
Sometimes, I calm down and think about it. Shi Dayong wanted to return to Changping, but he didn't dare to go back to Changping. It wasn't that he was timid about his hometown, but that he had a guilty conscience. He brought out 600 lively local soldiers, but what he sent back were coffins one after another. You
How should he face those people from his hometown?
…………
Shi Dayong was promoted to General, and various promotions in his department were promoted. The list had already been reported. Last time Jiang Yihe, the military selection director of the Ministry of War, came, he had confirmed it with the governor, and there was generally no problem. The reward should have been issued long ago, but it was not
Daling River was besieged, so everyone was dragged down. At present, whether it is the imperial court or Liaodong, all eyes are fixed on Daling River ancestor Dashou, and the matter of the Songshan Army's reward will naturally be
Put it aside. Even Shi Dayong couldn't go to Qiu Hejia to ask about the promotion in the Ministry of War at this moment.
However, one thing made Shi Dayong somewhat relieved, and that was that after the defeats of Song Wei and Wu Xiang, Qiu Hejia no longer proposed aid to Dalinghe. Not sending aid meant that Shi Dayong had time to train him.
The wolf cavalry did not have to worry about Mr. Futai's head getting hot again, and regardless of the fact that the enemy was strong and we were weak, he forced the remaining troops in Jinzhou, including Shi Dayong, to go out for reinforcements.
Shi Dayong really didn't want to die in vain. Under Dalinghe City, facing the crazy offensive of the Eight Banners soldiers, he was not afraid of death in despair. He died just thinking about it at that time. There was nothing terrible. But looking back now,
But he didn't want to die, but was afraid of death!
Being afraid of death is not a shameful thing. Only when you know the horror of death can you understand the preciousness of life.
Song Wei and Wu Xiang's 6,000 cavalry were almost overwhelmingly defeated by the Eight Banners. Now that the soldiers' fighting spirit and will to fight again will not change anything, they will only die in vain. Since you know that if you go again, you will die, why do you still go?
?
It is true that the time-travelers have ambitions, they have national righteousness, and they have soaring pride, but the fact that cannot be changed is that time-travelers are also human beings.[
Shi Dayong is a human being, an ordinary person. He knows how to think and has the right to choose whether he should die in order to realize his ambition of sacrificing everything for the sake of national justice.
Hatred should not blind people's eyes sometimes. There are many ways to take revenge, and you don't necessarily have to go to a certain situation with a will to die.
Besides, Tiefutu, which Shi Dayong relies on as a magic weapon, has not yet formed an army. Now he is going to fight with the wolf cavalry army, and his combat effectiveness is limited. Even if he is an army, it must be covered by light cavalry to be effective, so let him go to fight now. He has ten thousand soldiers.
I don't want to. Right now, to be honest, I can only wait for Sun Chengzong's closed-door army to arrive. Then I will fight hard, do my best, and listen to fate.
If we lose again, it will really be God's will.
…………
The two reinforcements organized by Jinzhou failed, and the situation in Daling River City became increasingly grim.
By the end of July, the Jin army had dug four trenches outside Dalinghe City. The first trench was a horse trap, five feet wide and seven feet deep, with straw spread on top, specifically for the Ming army's cavalry. The remaining three trenches were
They are all deep trenches, making it difficult for people and horses to climb out if they fall. The distance between the four trenches is less than 100 meters, which is clearly to prevent the people in the city from getting out.
Not only that, behind the four trenches, there is an artillery battalion under the newly established Han banner of the Jin Army. It is equipped with six red cannons, forty general cannons, and more than sixty other artillery pieces. Except for the red cannons, they are not as good as those of the defenders.
There are many, and the number of other artillery pieces is already more than that of the defenders. If Zu Dashou forced a breakout, it would be absolutely impossible to break through under such intensive artillery fire.
After Azige's red flags defeated Song Wei and Wu Xiang's reinforcements, Emperor Taihan hosted a banquet in the Chinese army's tent to reward Zhenglan, the generals of the two red flags, Daishan, Jirhalang, Abatai and other Beile.
Generals of all banners, big and small, as well as Han officials and generals were present.
They won the first battle and defeated the reinforcements of the Ming Dynasty in one fell swoop. The Jin army was very excited and drank happily in the big tent. During the banquet, the study officer Bao Chengxian suddenly stood up and first toasted Huang Taiji with a wine glass, and then paid tribute to the hero.
After Mang Gurtai and Azig were two beile queens, they stepped forward to offer advice to Huang Taiji: "I heard that our ancestors respected Yuan Chonghuan the most. Today, the Daling River is besieged. If the king of Khan takes Yuan Chonghuan's death as a sign of great justice, then
The morale of the Zubu army will be shaken. If we keep people in contact with the Zubu, we may be able to take over all the Zubu without a fight."

I have been busy harvesting rice for the past two days, and I am too tired to help my mother-in-law harvest rice. Unfortunately, my father-in-law has passed away, and my mother-in-law has just had a major surgery, so I can only do this work with my bones. There are a few updates, please forgive me.
