Jinzhou city.
One of them is a general who is over fifty years old. This person is a burly figure, sharp-eyed, and a fiery red cloak shows his unique status! This person is the commander of the Ming army defending the city, the prince of Ming dynasty, Shao Fu, the Governor of Zuo, and the ancestor of the Jinzhou General Soldier.
Speaking of the ancestral family, that is the famous family of Liaodong. There are nearly ten officers at all levels who serve as lieutenants, generals, and guerrillas in the army, so they have a great influence in the army! Even the Wu family, Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, who are known as the future stars of Liaodong, can only be subdued.
However, when his predecessor Dashou descended to Qing Qing, his sons Zu Zerun, Zu Zehong, Zu Zepu, and adopted son Zu Kefa, and Zhang Cunren, Li Yun, Han Daxun and others followed him to Qing Qing and eventually stayed there. Over there.
(Huang Taiji still has the meaning of buying horse bones for his daughters. Even if Zu Dashou fled back later, he was still good to these people. For example, Zu Zerun, the son of Zu Dashou, became a member of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. The Gushan Erzhen, Zhang Cunren became the Metropolitan Procuratorate and participates in politics, it is not a low status).
However, in this way, Zu Dashou's power has been greatly inferior to the previous ones. Of course, even so, the lean camel is bigger than the horse. In the army of Western Liaoning, Zu Dashou is still powerful and has extraordinary influence! Especially in this Jinzhou city, everything can be decided in one word!
But now seeing the dog Tarzi uncharacteristically and desperately attacking, still made these generals very nervous.
"Grandma's, is Tarzi taking gunpowder? Such a desperate siege?" At this time, it was a general standing in the front row. This person is Zu Dashou's younger brother, Zu Dabi.
Although Zu Dabi is not young, he is still very brave in battle, quite the aura of the veteran Huang Gai! And he often likes to rush to the battle personally, so the army is nicknamed "the second lunatic."
But even such a rugged character, at this time, I have already noticed something wrong. To be honest, although Jinzhou City has been besieged for more than half a year, it has been attacked five or six times during the Qing army, which can be seen in many cases. Their will to attack is not resolute, and often the two sides fight a battle. When they can't get any advantage, they will pay for their troops and continue to implement the policy of encircling and not fighting.
But now it’s different. From about three days onwards (that is, after the two yellow flags and the Zhenglan flag were defeated in the two counterattacks around Rufeng Mountain), the offensive of the Qing army suddenly became much fierce, even from the sky. Liang began to attack the city, and hit it until dark in one breath, this crazy energy...
"Hey, the thief slave is so uncharacteristic, it must be something outside! It's a pity that our army was trapped in the city, and the news was cut off, so I can't refer to it... What a pity, what a pity." At this time, it was another confidant of Zu Dashou Generals, and they are still somewhat savvy.
Zu Dashou, who lives in the center of general officials, frowned after hearing this. In fact, he didn't know the truth, but now that the news is cut off, he is like a deaf or blind man. He has great judgement on the outside world. To lower, you can only passively see the trick.
But even so, with Zu Dashou's rich combat experience, he already had a faint hunch. It is estimated that this time the Tartar suffered a big loss in front of my reinforcement army. Otherwise, he would not attack so fiercely. After all, he But I know how strong the troops are when I join the army this time! (Before the news broke, Zu Dashou still knew something)
The most important thing is that this time joining the aid army, there is also a strong army in the world! The Xuanjia army, who was bestowed by the emperor's first army in the world, all came to help! And a full 40,000 people came! Such a powerful force...
So even at this time, Tarzi was madly attacking the city, and the entire Jinzhou City was under the offensive of the Qing army. There was fierce fighting everywhere. Looking at the situation in a critical situation, Zu Dashou was still unmoved! He was extremely calm, and the generals under his commanders were calmed a lot when they saw him, as if they had a backbone in their hearts-and this was the confidence he had been in for 30 years in Liaoxi!
So at the moment, Zu Dashou was a calm deployment of troops and generals, guarding various walls, vowing to deal with Tarzi to the end!
But in the evening, after the statistics of the battle reports from various places came up, Zu Dashou was still shocked. After a day of fierce fighting, there were more than two thousand casualties! (After several previous battles, there were only more than 13,000 people left in the Ming army in the city at this time).
Although due to the defensive advantage, Gou Danzi's casualties are even higher than this number, but this still shocks Zu Dashou... At this rate of consumption, Jinzhou City may not last a few days!
Even such tragic consumption made his generals unable to sit still, and came to Zu Dashou's General Military Mansion together to discuss countermeasures.
And because these are his confidants, and he has no scruples in speaking, so at this time, his brother, the nickname Zu Er lunatic Zu Dabi, was the first to speak: "Big brother, think of a way! Otherwise, if this continues, Jinzhou City will be unable to hold it!"
"Huh! What are you panicking!" Zu Dashou just glared at his younger brother and said: "According to my judgment, the reason why Tarzi is so uncharacteristic and attacking our army regardless of casualties is probably because my entry into the reinforcements is progressing smoothly. It is difficult for Taroko to resist, so I have to do this!"
Regarding Zu Dashou's judgment, all the generals at the scene also agreed and thought it should be the truth, but the problem is, even if the reinforcements are going well, it will take long to arrive, no one knows! But the days of the broken city can already be counted with a finger! If reinforcements arrive and the city is broken, isn’t it all in vain...
And with the urinary nature of the Ming army that they know, they often have to walk a little bit for a long time, all kinds of inefficiency! (Of course, if they were replaced by reinforcements, the same would be true. In addition, the march at this time was all on two legs. It was really difficult. The original bloody battle in the Hunhe River, Qi’s army led by Qi Jin, went from departure to the Hun River bank. Side, walked for three years)
So if this is waiting for reinforcements to come to rescue, I am afraid the daylily will be cold...
So facing this moment of crisis, another trusted general whispered: "The so-called big man can bend and stretch! It seems to me that it is better to stay on for another day or two. If the reinforcements do not come by then, then we might as well go over there. …" He also pointed in the direction occupied by the dog Tartar.
And listening to what he said, the minds of the people present were all alive. After all, this is also very obvious. They are not unpopulated here at Goudazi. On the contrary, there are not only a large number of people, but they are still alive and well.
Just like Zu Dashou’s confidant, Han Daxun, Da Linghe surrendered after the bloody war, he was named the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the other member Li Yun was named the Ministry of Justice.
(The so-called Chengzheng is roughly equivalent to Da Ming’s third grade servant, who is an absolute high-ranking official. Of course, in the eyes of the authentic man, no matter how high your grade is, you still regard you as a slave that can be used at will, just like the famous The big traitor Fan Wencheng, a bachelor of the Academy of Secretaries, and a cabinet minister similar to Daming, can be regarded as highly valued by Taroko? But even his wife can't keep it),
Not to mention that the two sons of Zu Dashou were both appointed high officials, so with such a comparison, it is no wonder these people are moved.
And I have to say that in some respects, Huang Taiji is indeed more wise, or even more sinister! If you change to the old slave before, you will be extremely hostile to the Han people! He held high the butcher knife against the Han people in Liaodong several times, and even liked to play the trick of killing the city! So even if these generals are afraid of death, they dare not surrender to the past... Surrendering to the past is death, so why did you surrender to the past
But now? Huang Taiji’s gentle policy can confuse people...
But even so, Zu Dashou listened to such a discussion, but only gave them a stern look, and then said two words: "Superficial!"
And this is also very obvious. Although Zu Dashou was a martial artist, he had already learned how to behave during the war between the Ming and Qing Dynasties for decades. Don’t look at his son and subordinates now, living on Tarzi’s side. Not bad, it's just that he still has the value to use!
If all the children of the Zu clan were to go over and completely cast their attention to Taranzi, who knows if the dog Taranzi would turn his face away and deny him? Play the game of unloading the moss and killing the donkey? And then what is it? They can only be completely slaughtered? Hanged on a tree with staring eyes
Therefore, it is the best policy to bet at both ends. Of course, this kind of bet is also traceable in history. During the Three Kingdoms period, the Zhuge clan was also the same. The younger brother Zhuge Liang served Liu Bei, and the older brother Zhuge Jin was a heavy minister of Sun Quan. Bet at both ends, drought and flood protection!
Not to mention that they have been operating in Liaodong for many years. In fact, their lives are very moist, and the court has almost no restrictions on them, quite'tolerant'.
(For example, after the defeat in the bloody battle of Dalinghe, Chongzhen called his ancestor Dashou to Beijing for questioning several times, but Zu Dashou just didn’t go! Then Chongzhen had nothing to do with such a military leader, so he had to pinch his nose to allow him to be a high-ranking official. Lu, the crown prince Shaofu, Zuo Dudu, etc., so a power like him is almost equal to a Tu emperor in Liaodong).
Including these generals under him, the descendants of the ancestors, and even many family members, all of them have farms in the west of Liaoning. If all the landlords, big and small, live a very rich life, but if you really want to invest in Tarzi Once there, will he be as tolerant as Daming? Let you keep so many properties? And no one is in charge? So after such a comparison, it is natural to know where is better.
So after some analysis by Zu Dashou, all the people present suddenly realized and felt that they made sense.
But even so, after Zu Dashou finished speaking, he became silent... The truth is that this is true, but the premise of all this is that reinforcements can arrive in time! Otherwise, if the city were to be broken, between being loyal to the country and surrendering again, Zu Dashou would not know what choice he would make? Will it even be the same as ten years ago? After all, it's better to die than to live...
But when everyone was in a dilemma, suddenly a guard came to report: "Report, the children guarding the city brought a Ming army, and claimed to be a special unit of the Xuan Jia army, and also brought it. News of reinforcements, do you want to bring him in?"
Ps bowed and thanked the book friend zz681027 for their rewards! I just rewarded it a few days ago, and I’m here again today, this kind of support... Under the touch, I have nothing to repay, I can only strive to write more and better plots in return for the love of my relatives! (End of this chapter)
