Chapter 541

For the night march, the officers and men of Changsheng camp and Chen Zhongbu have already had deep experience.

In addition to the advantages of geographical conditions, the officers and soldiers of the two ministries did not eat less fish, shrimp and animal livers on weekdays.

Under Li Yuanqing's command, the officers and men of the two departments were ready in less than half an hour.

At the beginning of 1911, it was about the same as ten o'clock in the evening of later generations. With a wave of Li Yuanqing's hand, six thousand elites of Changsheng camp and four thousand elites of Chen Zhong Department moved northward quickly and disappeared in the vast night.

Originally, Li Yuanqing wanted to wait a few days to attack Haizhou city.

The main reason is that Li Yuanqing wanted to let the later Jin Dynasty's reinforcements behind Haizhou be more, and gather more materials. In this way, we can catch all of them, and then we can save a lot of energy.

But at this time, the situation has changed. Although Huang Taiji rushed to help the old village, the main force of the old slaves was running in the direction of Haizhou.

Although Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong had a large number of troops, Li Yuanqing did not dare to rely on large forces. To win Haizhou in the field against the main force of the later Jin Dynasty in tashanpu, on the one hand, was close to everyone's interests, on the other hand, it was the most secure choice.

Tashanpu is about 30 miles away from Haizhou, but it is on the official road, which is easy to walk.

After more than three hours of rapid march, the two armies successfully arrived outside the South Gate of Haizhou city.

Haizhou has been a rich place since ancient times.

Its terrain is flat, fertile land, water system is abundant, Haicheng City of later generations is the top 100 counties in China.

The biggest advantage of the night march is that it can avoid many post gold sentries.

Taken from the prestige of Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, the Tartars in Haizhou dare not stimulate their nerves too much, and the defense line of the sentry is also very backward.

All the way, the Ming army's sentry cavalry only took away two of the Houjin sentry's dens.

Although he was a little tired all the way, Chen Zhong was very excited to see the towering Haizhou city wall ahead. He whispered to Li Yuanqing: "Yuanqing, let's go. Fight for the end of the fight before dawn. "

Li Yuanqing smiles, "I think so. Take Haizhou City, let's go to Haizhou city for breakfast. "

The two officers and men were all elite. They marched in a hurry overnight. They had been prepared for it. As Li Yuanqing's order was passed down, soon, under the leadership of their respective officers, they quickly pushed toward the city of Haizhou.

At this time, almost a little more than four o'clock in the morning, this moment is the most tired and sleeping time.

Although it is already in May, the weather is still a little cold in the morning. In addition to the torch swaying with the wind, few people can be seen on the head of Haizhou city.

But at this time, the night was no longer as dark as before, and the visibility was only dozens of steps. As the Ming army's vanguard quickly approached Haizhou City, there were smart Tartars on the city's head, and they still found something unusual. It was frightening like killing a pig, and the miserable cry of "the enemy attacking the enemy" pierced the whole night sky in an instant.

For a moment, the head of Nancheng was in chaos.

But the Ming army paid no attention to these chaotic Tartars.

In terms of siege, Changsheng camp has already had a fairly complete system.

As the lead wire of the explosive package piled up outside the gate was ignited, the fire dragon ran straight to the gate. In an instant, a thunderous sound was heard, and the huge city gate was split into pieces.

Where can the Ming army officers and men neglect?

Under the cover of more than 3000 birds and blunders, swordsmen and spearmen rushed into the city like wolves.

Looking at the red tide of the Ming army rushing into the city like a tide, Chen Zhong couldn't help laughing, "Yuanqing, the overall situation has been decided!"

Li Yuanqing's face was also covered with a relaxed smile.

Without the threat of the main force of the later Jin Dynasty, it was as easy for him to take down any city in the Liao area.

However, at this time, Li Yuanqing thought of Mao Wenlong who was circling around the old village.

Before that, he had given Mao Wenlong a lot of explosive bags, and the bird's blunderbuss had more than 500 strokes. However, Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang's main force were still unable to break through the old village.

Now, I'm afraid the most critical reason is that the suppression intensity of firepower is not enough.

At this time, the Ming army had more than 3000 blunderbusses, and the rear Jin army at the head of the city could not raise their heads, let alone make effective resistance.

However, it is obviously impossible to achieve this scale.

In addition, the location of the old village is too critical, so there must be a lot of guards.

In this way, in the face of the fierce counter attack by the poor and vicious Jin army, Mao Wenlong and the main force of Dongjiang will certainly be tight.

To a large extent, Li Yuanqing also wanted to give more support to Mao Wenlong and some firearms in Dongjiang headquarters. Unfortunately, there was no standardized manufacturing machine. Although the production of qualified bird spears in Changsheng island was already in the process of production, it still depended on human resources. The monthly output of qualified bird spears was between four or five hundred rods.These outputs were first supplied to Changsheng camp, then to Chen Zhong and Mao Wenlong. Obviously, in a short period of time, they could not spare so much spare power.

The gate of Haizhou city has been collapsed and covered with powerful firepower. What kind of enemy can these Tartars defend Haizhou city?

After two waves of cavalry charging and being mercilessly killed by the soldiers, these tartar garrison also wanted to understand, where could they dare to resist?

I only hate that my parents had two legs. I ran away from the north gate and fled to Liaoyang.

Not surprisingly, as soon as the sky was shining, the Ming army had completely controlled the situation in Haizhou city. Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, accompanied by officers from various ministries who had come to report the situation, entered Haizhou city together.

Haizhou city is not very big, and its circumference is less than 20 Li, but it is quite compact. The buildings in the city are basically beautiful, which is a bit better than Changsheng island.

Li Yuanqing can't help sighing, "it will take more time for Changsheng island to really form a city scale."

It's a victory.

As for breakfast, Li Yuanqing did not grudge. He directly ordered the soldiers to pull out more than 100 fat sheep from the Treasury of Houjin and kill them all. In a short time, the strong smell of mutton soup floated in all the key positions of Haizhou city.

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong, of course, are justifiable, occupying the most advantageous government offices.

In the official hall, two bowls of mutton soup with fat and oil were in succession. Chen Zhong touched his mouth a little regardless of his image. He said to Li Yuanqing, "Yuanqing, the city has been captured. However, how should we deal with the people in this city?"

In the past, although the fighting was fierce, it ended too quickly. Neither the Ming army nor the later Jin army caused too much disturbance to the people in the city.

Li Yuanqing swallowed a piece of fat mutton into his stomach, "or according to the original plan to deal with it, all as slaves."

Although he had expected this result for a long time, Chen Zhong was shocked when he heard Li Yuanqing say it. He said, "Yuanqing, but there are many gentry in this city."

Li Yuanqing took the handkerchief, wiped the grease on his mouth, and said with a faint smile, "what about the gentry? Elder brother, you need to remember that they are the gentry of the later Jin Dynasty, but we are the king teachers of Daming! "

“……”

Chen Zhong was speechless for a moment, but he also understood that in order to better control the situation in the city, Li Yuanqing's plan was cruel, but it was the best choice at this time.

"Well. Yuanqing, don't do it. I will be the villain. "

Li Yuanqing was stunned, but then he burst out laughing, "big brother, there are more lice and don't press yourself. You and I will carry this together! "

Chen Zhong also understood Li Yuanqing's meaning and laughed, "it's OK. Brothers of the same heart, its profit cut gold! We can't make them happy if they chew their tongues afterwards

………

Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhongda became the same, and then only implementation was left.

In the face of the heavily armed Ming soldiers, how can the common people in these cities resist too much?

Just in the evening, the two barracks in Nancheng district have become the largest "concentration camp" in Haizhou city.

Of course, only the women and children can enjoy this treatment, and the men in the city, except for a few old and weak people who can't move, are all regarded as slaves.

However, although the means are slightly cruel, Li Yuanqing is also very particular about the rape and plunder. Once found out, no matter who it is, he will definitely kill him.

Although these people are the vassals of Tartars, they are also Han people after all. Although Li Yuanqing hated their disloyalty, there are many congenital reasons for many things. In this regard, Li Yuanqing naturally wanted to give these people a chance, not to kill them all.

Three days later, with the follow-up troops, personnel and materials arriving in tashanpu, there were more and more sentries in Houjin to the West and north of the city.

It's not long before the main force of the later Jin Dynasty.

For the city, whether Li Yuanqing or Chen Zhong, or the children of the two departments, their experience has been extremely rich.

Think about it, along the way, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong are basically starting with defense.

At this time, with a strong city like Haizhou in hand, both of them were quite rich in both manpower and firepower. Li Yuanqing prepared many secret weapons such as "kerosene". If the Jin army dared to come, how could Li Yuanqing make them get better?

However, in addition to more than 10000 women captured in the southern line of Haizhou, Dingkou was escorted back to Gaizhou city. At this time, all other human resources and Dingkou gathered in Haizhou city.

There seems to be a lot of materials in the city, but on average, it will only last two months for everyone.

Fortunately, Li Yuanqing and Chen Zhong also have a lot of experience in this respect.

The rations of the two generals and soldiers are still the same. They can eat as they should.

However, the rations of these captured slaves and women must be firmly controlled and carefully calculated.These men and slaves could eat six or seven percent when they were working in the city. At other times, they could only eat three percent, barely keeping them alive.

As for the women's dependents in the "concentration camp", their treatment was slightly better than that of the male slaves. They could eat a fifth of their food, and occasionally even give them some broth to drink.

At this time, although men are labor force, it is obvious that women are more precious and better controlled.

In this respect, Li Yuanqing was not cruel.

It's just that even with such careful calculation, the grain and grass in the city can last for about three months.

If the wartime consumption is included, I'm afraid it will be about two and a half months.

As Li Yuanqing had predicted before, he won Haizhou. Although he had made an account of all aspects, it made the army's choice passive.
