Development must be carried out, of course, the war must continue, Lu Hanqiang launched a large army to start his third step of strategic action to lay down Yizhou Wei, take the coal base Fuxin District, which is not only a one-step war strategy, but also a one-step economic strategy.
When Zhao Xiaoming and Xu Jie attacked Yizhou with his column of 10,000 troops, they thought it would be an easy thing, but it turned out to be unexpected, because Yizhou happened to control the connection between Liaoxi and the Mongolian tribes in the north, which was a pass.
In the north, Ao Han and Naiman Mongol tribes have been attached to Huang Taiji, although through the last time Lu Hanqiang borrowed the hand of Lin Dan Khan, so that these two tribes began to sway from side to side again, but because of this, Huang Taiji can not be taken lightly, because these two tribes, there is Lin Dan Khan in the west, the orthodox Mongolian Great Khan, and Lu Hanqiang in the south is directly bordered, then these two tribes will definitely fall to the Ming Dynasty and become the vassals of the Ming Dynasty again.
Therefore, in Yizhou, Huang Taiji spared no expense to arrange the five Niu Lu of the Zhenglan Banner, as well as all the Han Korean Bao Yi of this Niu Lu, how many people are really 1,500 regular soldiers, and there are close to 5,000 Bao Yi minions, which is a real strong strength.
In the case of close strength, Zhao Xiaoming's attack is extremely difficult, especially in the north of Yizhou City, next to the city gate, but just across the road is the rushing river of the Daling River, the army can not be deployed at all, and Lu Hanqiang's army has no water army, so the siege of Yizhou can not be carried out, so the so-called siege battle can not be realized.
The rest can only be a strong attack, so this battle has made Zhao Xiaoming, who has always had a stable personality, suffer enough, of course, Xu Jie also played a certain negative role here.
Although the Jurchens did not use the Han people as a meat shield this time, the Manchu guards still drove the Han people to transport materials to them.
And every now and then, Xu Jie's Confucianism began to flood, whenever the Han people transported supplies to the city, Xu Jie stupidly ordered the archers not to release arrows, which greatly increased the casualties of Zhao Xiaoming's army, it seems that Confucianism is rotten when it is rotten, although Xu Jie, the rotten Confucian, has evolved a little more than others, but it is still rotten Confucian, there is really no way.
Therefore, after the war lasted for half a month, the hot dogs here in the northern town of Montenegro were cold, and it was still dragging on.
There was no way, Zhao Xiaoming and Xu Jie jointly asked Lu Hanqiang for reinforcements, and at this time, where did Lu Hanqiang have the army in his hands In Lu Hanqiang's hands, one is Wang Dazhuang's column, which needs to guard the outpost of Montenegro, of course, he also has Chen Liang and Zhou Chujun's 15,000 cavalry in his hands, but it is a waste for you to let the precious cavalry climb the city, so this method is absolutely not feasible.
Then there is another column, that is, Jin Hengguang and Chen Che, but the two of them are guarding the Daling River, which is equivalent to the front line of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and they can't move, and there is also a column of Zhao Dahai, which is their only maneuver, and the force to guard against the Manchu counterattack at any time must not move.
These three columns can't move, so Zhao Xiaoming can only use the 10,000 horses in his hands to face the Manchu Jiannu who are protected by tall city walls, so that the strength of the two sides is equal, and the other party is not inferior to him at all in morale, and the combat effectiveness is actually superior.
The reason why Zhao Xiaoming was able to continue to attack Yizhou was because when Zhao Xiaoming's army had just arrived, the Manchu generals went out of the city to engage in a field battle with him, and as a result, he hit back with a huge arrow and explosives package that cut his head and face, so that the Manchu guards knew that in the field battle, in terms of weapons and equipment, he was not the opponent of Lu Hanqiang's army at all, so he learned to be obedient, I shrank in Yizhou City, I just didn't go out, and the matter was like this.
Since there are no reinforcements, then look for reinforcements, what to do At this time, Lu Hanqiang had to ask Sun Chengzhong, who was sitting in Shanhaiguan, this Liaodong Economic Strategy for help, but this matter disappointed Lu Hanqiang very much, not that Sun Chengzhong sat idly by, but Sun Chengzong did have no soldiers to send, and the actual commander of the real Guanning Iron Cavalry, Zu Dashou, could make money, but not kill the enemy.
Therefore, the ancestor Dashou did everything possible to give off the prevarication.
In the end, Lu Hanqiang really had no choice, so he sent an envoy to discuss with Zu Dashou at that time, I can buy your army As soon as he heard about the sale, Zu Dashou's eyes immediately lit up, and he did not hesitate to go to Montenegro to negotiate with Lu Hanqiang in person, at that time, Lu Hanqiang's bid was, your Zu Dashou sent a Guanning soldier, I will give ten taels of silver a month, that is to say, it is equivalent to a month for Zu Dashou to do a year's military salary, and if a Guanning soldier is killed, Lu Hanqiang will give a pension of 30 taels of silver, and an injured one will give 20 taels.
This is indeed a hemorrhagic deal, Zu Dashou was very satisfied with such a price, so when Lu Hanqiang asked for 10,000 troops to Guan Ning, Zu Dashou said generously, "Too little, too little, I will give you 50,000." ” Lu Hanqiang shook his head resolutely: "No, 10,000 is enough." ” Zu Dashou expressed frustration and disappointment at this number, because 10,000 soldiers can earn 100,000 silver for themselves in a month, and if it is 50,000, it is 500,000, especially he sincerely hopes that Lu Hanqiang will take his soldiers to be cannon fodder, because for every person who dies, it is 30 taels of silver, if all the 50,000 are dead, it is 1.5 million, and he will become rich overnight.
But Lu Hanqiang disappointed him again, because Lu Hanqiang decided that the 10,000 troops were not for him to go to the front to die, but for them to go to Yizhou to do hard labor.
Because Xu Jie's reinforcements to Lu Hanqiang were laborers, Xu Jie was ready to dig out more than 30 tunnels in the east, west and south of Yizhou, and then use the high explosives unique to his Fuliao army to blow up the entire Yizhou City.
But Lu Hanqiang doesn't care about this.
Finally, with the support of 10,000 coolies in Guanning, Zhao Xiaoming and Xu Jie completely bombed Yizhou, and then occupied the county seat, which had become a ruin.
Standing on the ruins of Yizhou, Lu Hanqiang stomped his feet and changed the name of Yizhou Wei to Chengyi County very arbitrarily.
This is actually his own hometown in the last world, and it is not friendly to call Yixian.
The capture of Yixian County was not really without gains, that is, nearly 4,000 Korean minions.
Lu Hanqiang pinched his chin and vetoed the usual practice of slaughtering these minions, he was ready to sell these guys to the people who were seriously lacking in labor under his rule, of course, Lu Hanqiang specially stated that these guys no longer enjoyed the terms of his population coercion law, and they would always be slaves.
Four thousand slaves Lu Hanqiang sold them at a price of fifty taels per head, but the people could only stare dryly, because everyone had no silver, so Lu Hanqiang waved his hand, except for leaving one thousand to prepare for digging coal mines and smelting coke, all of them were sold to the people in the form of bank loans, so that Lu Hanqiang not only paid off the silver of the soldiers who sold Zu Dashou, but also earned more than 50,000 yuan.
Lu Hanqiang said to his subordinates with a confused face: "Look, who said that the war is a loss of money, won't I make money, just do it next time, maybe I will fight a few more battles, and my famine will be gone." ” t1706231537:
