"That's right, just follow my instructions. If the miners don't want to come, tell them that they don't need to go to the battlefield in person, they just need to hold weapons to support my famous soldiers!"
"If you don't even have this courage, don't be a man!"
"This matter is a very big credit. You have to seize it. When you get back, I will take credit for you in front of His Majesty and let you shine in front of the ministers!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
This Zhu Cijiong followed him all the way and made no achievements, which was obviously inappropriate. He was left with the task of gathering the miners.
It's not that difficult, and it's still a big achievement. This kid must be grateful to himself now.
Zhu Cijiong said: "Thank you sir, I will definitely handle this matter!"
hehe!
This Lin Fan has indeed been subdued by me. Instead of doing such a good deed, he thinks of this prince. Are you trying to help this prince establish his prestige in the court in advance?
After that, Zhu Cijiong happily went to summon the miners. On the other side, outside Liaoyang City, a hundred thousand troops collided with Duduo and Hauge's army.
The Xuanjia Army is well-equipped and equipped with the special three-edged spurs that Lin Fan gave them. Although there are only 40,000 people outside Liaoyang City, they still have extraordinary combat power.
After a fight, Duduo and Hauge's army lost more than 40,000 people, and the 100,000 army also lost more than 40,000 people. Neither side took advantage.
The defenders in Gaiping, Fuzhou, Ninghai and other places were shocked when they heard the news.
"Hiss! Fortunately, we didn't participate in the war! I didn't expect that the army that came this time was so elite and could actually kill equally with the elite of the Qing Dynasty!"
One person gasped.
At this time, if they were also on the battlefield, they could indeed give the Qing army an advantage, but their side would definitely suffer heavy losses.
As far as they knew, only 100,000 Ming troops came. There were still 200,000 elite soldiers in the rear, and the most powerful tiger and leopard cavalry were not here.
It can be seen from this that if the Ming Dynasty really devoted all its efforts to annihilate the Qing Dynasty, it would definitely succeed. Even if they participated in the war, they would not be able to save the defeat.
"Fortunately, our choice was right. At this time, the Ming army was fighting with Hauge and others, weakening each other. We can also take the opportunity to discuss with His Majesty Chongzhen and ask for benefits.
"
One person said.
The total strength of their three places totaled more than 100,000 men. If they could get Chongzhen's promise and a large amount of military pay, they would be very happy to help the Ming army defeat the Qing army.
"Hehe! This Lin Fan has a lot of money. We will send people to discuss this matter with Lin Fan now. As long as he is willing to give us one million taels of silver each, we will help him defeat the Qing army!"
One person sneered.
"Damn it! When we surrendered to the Qing army, we were very unwilling to do so. Now we finally have the chance to fight back!"
Some people feel that they have an opportunity to vent their anger.
When Lin Fan received the letters from the guards of Gaiping, Fuzhou, and Ninghai, he couldn't help but sneered, and then tore the letters into pieces.
"Haha! It's the most ridiculous thing in the world. You actually want me to give them one million taels of silver each in exchange for their submission and sending troops to attack Haoge and Duoduo!"
"Without talking about whether their words are credible or not, just saying that this person has one million taels of silver is impossible. If I accept their submission and let them make great achievements, how will I deal with them in the future?"
Lin Fan said with a sneer.
However, the letters from these three people also illustrate a problem, that is, they have realized their power and have lost confidence in establishing slaves.
If so, then it depends on how many miners Zhu Cijiong can find.
Jinzhou and Ningyuan are both coastal areas. There are many miners and fishermen here. If the miners cannot gather enough people, the fishermen will be added.
Soon, three days passed. Outside Liaoyang City, the army stopped attacking the city, and Hauge and Duoduo's army never left the city again.
"Damn it! These Ming armies are very powerful, but the generals from Gaiping, Fuzhou and other places did not come to support us. Otherwise, the Ming army would have been defeated long ago!"
Hauge gritted his teeth and said.
"We can't force them at this time, otherwise, they will easily be forced to rebel. The most important thing now is to provide support to Shengjing. We don't have much supplies in the city!"
Duduo said in a deep voice.
Once the food supply in the city is cut off, the people will be unsettled and they will be in chaos. If the enemy army attacks the city in a large scale at this time, they will not be able to defend it at all.
Zhu Cijiong gathered more than 30,000 miners here. This number was far beyond Lin Fan's expectation. The miners alone gathered 30,000 people!
"Sir, it is as you expected. These miners have been oppressed by the slaves for a long time and have long wanted to take revenge. When I heard that you summoned the soldiers, they came!"
Zhu Cijiong said proudly.
It can be said that these 30,000 people came because of Lin Fan's reputation, but the credit must be attributed to himself.
"I didn't expect that there are 30,000 miners here. This is beyond my expectation. Take me quickly to see these 30,000 people."
Lin Fan said.
"Yes! Sir!"
Zhu Cijiong took Lin Fan to meet the thirty thousand people.
When these 30,000 miners saw Lin Fan, each of them had angry looks in their eyes.
"Lord Lin! We finally waited for you to arrive. Quickly lead us to the lair of Jiannu and kill them all!"
"Sir! My wife, children, and children were all killed by the slaves. If we don't kill them all in this lifetime, it will be difficult to understand our anger!"
"Sir, the slave slaves were inhumane and killed countless of our compatriots. We must kill them all and take revenge!"
…
The miners were excited and had angry eyes.
Lin Fan looked at them and said: "You are all bloody men, but you have not been trained, and you will not be able to exert much combat effectiveness on the battlefield!"
"I don't need you to go into battle to kill the enemy. I only need you to stand in the distance to increase the number of people and scare the enemy. Therefore, I need more people!"
"If you can find 100,000 people, that would be the best. I will equip you with self-defense weapons and give you food. Are you willing?"
When Lin Fan saw these 30,000 people, he came up with a bold idea. He asked these 30,000 people to call everyone they knew to make a total of 100,000 people!
Pulling these 100,000 people outside Liaoyang City, the slave-building army will definitely be frightened, and the generals in Gaiping, Fuzhou, and Ninghai will also be frightened!
When the time comes, let’s see if Dorgon comes to support us!
"Sir! It's just a matter of gathering 100,000 people. This is simple. Let's go back and bring all our relatives and friends here, so we can do you a favor!"
