The city of Shenyang was seized by the North Korean army, and almost all the palaces and buildings in the city were burned down.

Now the city can be regarded as a waste of waste, everything is starting from scratch. Wang's name is Sun Shan, but Zhang Jiayu is a high school scholar, and he is still very capable.

After he arrived in Shenyang, he did not rush to repair the government office, but built a market in a white field, and then sent people to find a merchant from the south of the Yangtze River, and brought rice, salt and iron, tea, and cotton cloth, so that they could exchange beans, mountain ginseng, and furs in the hands of the Liao people, and the city of Shenyang was restored to life.

However, after the bazaar was built, the yamen and other buildings were much simpler, and the Ming troops in the city still lived in tents.

The governor's yamen is located on the ruins of the imperial palace of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a plaque is hung, which is actually not as good as a county ya, it is just a mud house.

Zhang Jiayu led a few people back in a hurry, and saw that there were people in front of the yamen who kept coming in and out, he walked to the door, and the little official immediately greeted him, and said hurriedly, "Futai, Gao Yuan is waiting in the courtyard." ”

Zhang Jiayu immediately waved his hand and walked directly into the compound, and he happened to see Xie Qian sitting on a stone bench, talking to the generals of Jiming, he saw Zhang Jiayu entering the courtyard, quickly got up, and hurriedly said: "Zhang Futai, you can count it." The Mongols are heading south along the Liao River, so the officials of the Third Division should quickly avoid it! ”

"The Mongols still dare to invade my Daming?" Zhang Jiayu was a little surprised, "How many people came, where are they now?" ”

"I didn't expect them to be so bold, I didn't go to the army to destroy them, they actually came to attack us, it's really bold." Xie Qiandao.

He paused, and then said, "But the military situation will not be fake, Qingyun Fort and Zhengxi Fort in the north, which are monitoring Horqin, have been captured by the Mongols and ransacked, and they are now heading towards Shenyang, probably more than 40,000 people. ”

The army of 40,000 made Zhang Jiayu a little frightened, and many officials around him were a little panicked.

Xie Qian lost most of his troops in Korea at the beginning, because he was from King Lu's faction, so the men and horses had not been replenished, and there were less than 10,000 people.

Although after the Ming Dynasty recovered the north, it was ready to re-recruit northern soldiers for training and replenish his army, but the time was still short and it had not yet been implemented.

At present, he has 10,000 people, Shenyang only 4,000 people, and the others are distributed in the northern line, the western Liaoning corridor, and the Korean border.

Although he is not afraid of the Mongols, if he can't hold it, he will easily break through, but with a group of civil officials, he has more scruples, so he hopes that Zhang Jiayu and others will take advantage of the Mongols to withdraw to the pass first.

Xie Qian continued, "Judging from the distance, the Mongols went down the frozen Liao River, diverted from Shifang Temple and went straight to Shenyang, and they could come to the city in three days at the earliest. Zhang Futai, the officials of the three divisions should withdraw first! ”

Zhang Jiayu shook his head, "I can't leave." Since the imperial court has sent this official here, this official has the responsibility to protect one party, and Liaoning has just improved, here is the hard work of this official, I will not leave! ”

Saying that, he glanced at Xie Qian, and suddenly said: "Benfu persuaded Gao Yuanhou not to give up Shenyang easily, so as not to delay the imperial court's plan to relocate the people and fill the Liao, and be reprimanded by the imperial court." ”

Not long ago, the Ming Dynasty merged the original Daning Prefecture and Liaodong Prefecture into Liaoning Province, these two places have empty populations and are less than a county in the south of the Yangtze River, but Wang Yan insisted on setting up a province because of the Ming Dynasty's policy of filling in Liao, at least 2 million people should be relocated and the frontier should be consolidated, so the shelves were set up first.

Xie Qian listened to Zhang Jiayu's words, and was slightly stunned, not thinking that he actually saw through his thoughts.

Xie Qian is a military general, not thinking a lot, he originally wanted to not be able to hold it, so it doesn't matter if he gave up Shenyang, it will be okay to take it back in the coming year, but after Zhang Jiayu reminded him, he reacted that the people of Henan who moved from the Ming Dynasty had already made preparations in the pass, and they would move to Liaoning to settle down just when the ice and snow melted, and if he lost Shenyang, it would undoubtedly affect the national policy of the imperial court.

At that time, Jian Guo will definitely be unhappy, even if he will not blame, he will doubt his ability and affect his promotion.

For a while, Xie Qian couldn't help but look at Zhang Jiayu for a moment, and then nodded, "Since Futai has made up his mind, then the general will defend the city with Futai and let the Mongols hit their heads and break their blood." ”

Zhang Jiayu immediately gave up his hand, "That's good, Gao Yuan is waiting to arrange the city defense, and Benfu will move the people into the city!" ”

After the Ming Dynasty eliminated the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it did not immediately send troops to attack the Mongol tribes, and the defense in the north was not particularly perfect, but it did not expect to give Mongolia an opportunity.

The Ming army had just recovered the north, and it had not had time to rebuild the northern border army, coupled with the small number of northern troops of the Ming army, and the southern army was not adapted to the weather in the north, and a large number of southward transfers were made, resulting in a relatively empty army in the north, which made this mistake in the Ming Dynasty.

However, the main reason for the mistake was that Wang Yan himself and the Nanjing court were proud of the enemy.

In the battle with the Manchu Qing, the Ming army eliminated a large number of Mongol soldiers, which made Wang Yan feel that the Mongols were no longer a climate and did not pose a threat to the Ming Dynasty, but as long as Mongolia had men, there would be an army, and it would be no problem to gather forty or fifty thousand people.

Moreover, there are more than 20,000 Mongols who fled from Xuanda, and thousands of Mongols in Beijing have fled back to the steppe, and Mongolia actually has some strength.

At this time, the Mongols pounced, Zhang Jiayu hurriedly ordered, let the young and strong outside the city enter the city to hide, and the old and weak women and children retreated in the direction of Jinzhou, where there were one or two thousand people from Xie Qian's department to respond, and Mongolia should not attack the direction of Jinzhou for the time being.

Although the government order was issued, not many people went into the city to take refuge and fled to Jinzhou.

Because the weather was so cold, most of the villages were not notified, and many of the people who were notified were not ready to flee, they could live under the Manchus, and the Mongols came, and someone had to farm.

After decades of slavery, they either couldn't bear it and rebelled, or they gradually got used to it, and even felt natural and felt at ease to be a slave.

The situation outside the city, the Ming army could no longer control so much, and the city began to be nervously armed.

Although the Ming military in Shenyang City had not prepared first, Xie Qian had already asked Gao Yigong for help from Beijing, and Shenyang was able to obtain support from the three directions of Beizhi, Shandong, and North Korea.

Really made up his mind, Xie Qian is still very confident, fast is a month, slow is two months, the thunder anger of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably come down.

Soon three days passed, Xie Qian recovered another 300 people from several nearby outposts, and the strength of the city reached 4,300 people, and there were nearly 10,000 young people, so Xie Qian's confidence was sufficient.

Beginning on the morning of the third day, Shenyang began to close the gates, and in the afternoon of the next day, the soldiers and young men in the city were pouring water on the city walls, but suddenly there was a low horn on the white field, and the Mongol army finally came.

Zhang Jiayu, Xie Qian and others commanded the defense at the head of the city, heard the movement, and hurriedly wrapped their cloaks in the wind and snow, standing at the head of the city to watch.

The Mongol's speed was a day slower than expected, because it was easier to walk on the frozen river, but after the recourse, he stepped on the thick snow, so it was slower.

Ten miles away in the wilderness, a large number of cavalry appeared, they rode slowly on their horses, and the white breath exhaled from their horses made them feel as if they were in a cloud and mist.

These horses are wrapped in blankets on their bellies, and their hooves hold cotton cloth, so they are not afraid of the cold.

At this time, the Mongolian cavalry in front took out the horn, raised its head and blew it, the terrible trumpet echoed in the field, and the murderous cavalry marched forward in an endless circle around the Great Khan's guard of honor.

Wu Keshan personally led the army to the battle, Horqin sent 20,000 warriors, and other Mongolian tribes gathered 25,000 people to march to Shenyang.

It's hard to say whether the various tribes of Mo Nan are desperate, but all the warriors of Horqin are pressed on this battle. This is arguably the last great army of Eastern Mongolia, and they must win this battle.

At this time, he had already seen the city of Shenyang in front of him, and when Nurhachi started to seize Shenyang, he probably didn't have as many troops as him.

He had already inquired clearly, the Ming Dynasty had only 10,000 garrisons outside the Guan, while Shenyang had a maximum of 5,000 people, and his men and horses were nearly nine times that of the Ming army, and he was confident of victory.

Looking at the city in the distance, Wu Keshan suddenly pointed his horsewhip at the city and ordered his sons behind him: "Which of you will give Ben Khan a cavalry shot around the city, and first demoralize the Ming army!" ”

There was no artillery in the city of Shenyang, so Wu Keshan decided to give the Ming army a dismount first, and show the Ming army the ability of Mongolian warriors to mount and shoot to deter the defenders.

"Father Khan, I'll go!" Wu Keshan's fourth son immediately pulled out the reins of his horse and led 3,000 cavalry to rush towards Shenyang.

The weather outside the pass was cold, the moat had long been frozen, and the Ming army had no time to arrange a rejection horse, so the cavalry could rush directly to the city.

The Mongolian cavalry wore felt hats, bloated cotton clothes, and armed with bows and arrows, and slammed the belly of the horse, and the 3,000 cavalry rushed towards the city like a rolling torrent, hoping to cause a huge psychological impact on the Ming army.

Xie Qian in the city sneered when he saw this, did the Mongols plan to attack the city with cavalry? He immediately waved his hand and said, "Transfer the self-generated guns!" ”

Three thousand cavalry are getting closer and closer to the city wall, and the fierce Mongolian cavalry, seeing that the city is close to a hundred paces, have put their bows and arrows on the strings, ready to throw a wave of arrows to the city, shooting the Ming army above, but at this moment, the accident happened suddenly, and several war horses running in front suddenly neighed, fell forward, and threw the knights above.

On the city wall, the Ming army's gunners fired continuously, and the cavalry was put down one after another by the fire guns before they could enter the range of the cavalry bows.

Originally, I wanted to give the Ming army a dismount, but I didn't expect to be hit by the Ming army, but this can't be blamed on Wu Keshan, he has been enjoying happiness in Horqin all these years, and he didn't go south to fight the Ming army, and his thinking is still stuck more than ten years ago, and he doesn't know that the range and rate of fire of the Ming army's firearms have been greatly improved.

For a time, the cavalry that rushed in front fell off their horses continuously, and the corpses were trampled by the large group of war horses behind, and the blood and flesh were blurred, and the screams were loud, and the cavalry behind saw the big losses, so frightened that they turned their horses' heads and did not dare to continue to gallop in the direction of the city.
