Chapter 845: The Battle of Songjin
When the wheat in the tuntian near Jinzhou was ripe, Ning Yuan organized tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to help with the harvest, and nearly 100,000 young and middle-aged people worked together, and it only took about ten days to complete the harvest.
Liaodong did not suffer a major disaster, the year was moderate, more than 300,000 mu of tuntian except for tens of thousands of acres of trampling affected the harvest, the rest was not bad, the "Red Banner Army" received 300,000 stone wheat.
These grains were originally the rations for the survival of more than 100,000 people in Jinzhou, but now they have all been seized.
This means that even if the "Red Banner Army" gives up attacking Jinzhou and directly retreats, within two months, the city of Jinzhou will run out of food.
However, the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty used too much labor due to the large-scale smelting of iron and steel and the construction of the Shengjing City Pond to strengthen the forts, which led to a reduction in the sown area and neglect of field management, and the result was a large reduction in the already unsustainable grain production.
Shengjing was too busy to take care of himself, and it was a fool's dream to expect Chongde to give food relief to more than 100,000 people in Jinzhou.
The "Red Banner Army" has not yet fought a vicious battle, and the pleasure of directly obtaining the harvest without hard work has made too many soldiers from peasant households laugh from ear to ear.
The defenders at the head of Jinzhou City looked at the fruits of their sweaty labor from a distance, and were laughed at by the "Red Banner Army" and were extremely depressed.
Although they felt sorry for the wheat, no one was willing to go out of the city to grab food, and even two or three thousand Manchu and Mongolian cavalry were unwilling to go out of the city to carry out a surprise attack.
In fact, the vast majority of the hundreds of Jiannu who were abandoned in Jinzhou came from the marginalized inlaid white flags, and their banner owner Duoduo has not been identified after being cut by the Ming Dynasty with a thousand knives.
More than half of the more than 2,000 Tartars are from the Horqin Manzhu Xi Rite Department, and two or three thousand of their people have already lost their lives in Korea, and only more than 100 have been released by the "Red Banner Army".
The vast majority of the Jiannu armor-clad and Tartar string control people saw the released clansmen, and learned that they were left alive by the "Red Banner Army" and could still be fed and clothed, and the unpopular Tartars and Jiannu in Jinzhou City had no desire to fight at all.
Tatara Tambai and Uzhaku Hongniyaka were the commanders of the Manchurian and Mongolian cavalry in Jinzhou City, and they were unpopular.
Because the white flag soldiers here account for more than seventy percent, and the other seven flag soldiers are very few, the two main generals are actually one from the red flag and the other from the white flag, and they are not the original generals of the white flag at all.
Although Tan Bai and Hongni Yaka are two illiterate people who only know how to wield knives and kill people, they are not stupid, they can see that they have no fighting spirit, and of course they dare not be too persecutive.
In case the helpless 3,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry collectively surrendered to the "Red Banner Army" when they launched a surprise attack, they might be captured alive by the Ming army and face thousands of cuts.
There may be many people among the Manchurian generals who are not afraid of death or death, but all of them are afraid of being cut by a thousand knives and stripped of skin and filled in the grass.
The situation in Jinzhou was so grim that the Han army and the Goryeo soldiers could not be trusted, and Tan Bai and Hongniyaka believed that as long as they led the Manchu and Mongolian cavalry out of Jinzhou City, it would be impossible to enter the city again.
The two of them have realized that the end will not be good, and it has become their norm to drink heavily in the mansion and try to get themselves drunk to escape reality.
Completely different from the generals, most of the grassroots officers and soldiers of the Jiannu, Tatar, Han Army, and Goryeo soldiers did not care, and it was a big deal to raise their hands to surrender, anyway, the "Red Banner Army" received the surrender and gave them a full meal.
There are even too many Han troops who are looking forward to the "Red Banner Army" launching an attack to take Jinzhou, and the vast majority of these people are the original Liao people whose hometown is in Guannei, and they are eager to go home to see and get news from their relatives.
is completely different from the Qing army in Jinzhou, which is panicked all day long, and the "Red Flag Army" with enough soldiers and food celebrates the Mid-Autumn Festival and watches the positive energy drama written by Ruan Dacheng.
Almost no one had the anxiety of the pre-war war, on the contrary, the vast majority of the fighters were looking forward to getting a decapitation and promotion in the offensive and defensive battles.
It has been ten years since Huang Han's soul wore the Ming Dynasty, and since he had his first younger brother Song Pengfei, he has spared no effort to cultivate talents.
Today's "Red Banner Army" except for a part of the Mongolian cavalry, there is almost no illiteracy, and the soldiers are extremely confident, believing that Jinzhou City should be within reach.
Of course, this kind of self-confidence does not come from the fearlessness of the ignorant, but from the psychological strength, from the hard training of sweating more in peacetime and bloodless in wartime.
A soldier who surrenders without a fight is a great good.
It is known that there are more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Jinzhou City, of which Han people account for more than 70 percent, Goryeo people are about 20 percent, and Manchu and Mongolian cavalry is less than half of them.
Artillery bombardment and air raids by flying troops will not only cause great damage to the city, but it is not known how many soldiers and civilians will die in the flames.
Only when it is absolutely necessary will Huang Han launch a war of destruction.
Don't worry, cooked ducks can't fly.
There are Hanzi, Sang Yu, Yuan Siming and other generals who led 20,000 or 30,000 elite cavalry of the "Red Banner Army" to patrol the periphery of the Jinzhou encirclement, and it is impossible for the siege army to encounter a sudden attack, let alone suffer from the enemy on its back.
The Songjin War in history was the pinnacle of the Red Gangster's siege and reinforcements, which made the Ming army bury hundreds of thousands of elite border troops, and since then it has been declared extinct.
The reason is that Zu Dashou led his men and horses to hold on to Jinzhou, which was besieged by the Qing army, and Hong Chengchou led more than 100,000 troops and horses of the eight major generals to relieve the siege, and finally suffered a great defeat on the battlefield where the Red Gangsters were preset.
Among the eight general officers, the treacherous Wu Sangui, Tang Tong, Bai Guangen, Wang Pu, and Ma Ke escaped and survived in time, and the loyal and brave Yang Guozhu, Cao Bianjiao, and Wang Tingchen swore to die and be generous and righteous.
In addition to Wang Pu, who was killed by Chongzhen, the rest of the general officers who ran back still led the troops, Wu Sangui was the most famous traitor, and Tang Tong and Bai Guangen descended to Li Zicheng first, and then to Dolgon, which was also notorious.
Zu Dashou consumed all the elites of the Ming Dynasty, and after consuming Hong Chengchou into a traitor, he sacrificed Jinzhou City to become a traitor.
It may be better for this kid to surrender the city a few years earlier, and the Ming Dynasty does not need to operate the "Ningjin Defense Line", but instead operates the defense line from Ningyuan to Shanhaiguan.
The supply line has been shortened, and most of the castles along the line are close to the sea, so they can get supplies from the sea, and with Hong Chengchou, a commander who can take charge of himself, he may not suffer a fiasco like the "Songjin War".
All in all, Chongzhen Dynasty was so bad that he was so bad that he drank cold water and stuffed his teeth, plus Chongzhen didn't know how to use people, and finally let the Manchu Qing pick up a big bargain.
Today's situation is completely different, millions of soldiers and civilians in the "Red Banner Army" system who have opened their eyes to the world not only have a sense of national honor, but also a sense of responsibility to protect their homes and defend the country.
Originally, the historical city of Jinzhou was surrounded by the Qing army, but in fact, the city of Jinzhou in the Manchu Dynasty was surrounded by the "Red Banner Army", although the lord of the city will still be Zu Dashou.
Unlike Chongzhen, who did not understand the art of war, he repeatedly ordered Hong Chengchou to go to Jinzhou to fight a decisive battle with the Qing army, and the Red Gangsters clearly gave up Jinzhou and refused to be surrounded by the "Red Banner Army" for reinforcements.
