When you hurt your enemy, you are also hurting yourself.
Even if you are fighting passively to protect yourself and the people, it is still the same.
Last night's battle included the Jinwu Guards, the remnants of the Jinzhou Zuowei City, the Jinzhou defenders, the Yulin Guards and the Jiangnan elite coalition forces so there were more than 50,000 people in total. After the war, only three were left. Fifty thousand men can continue to fight.
Nearly 8,000 people were killed in the battle, and 7,000 people were injured in various degrees and were unable to participate in the next battle.
Yes.
The next one.
Or rather two games.
They have more important battles to fight.
" If we are lucky this time and Shi Wei's reinforcements do not arrive so quickly, then the soldiers can rest more before going to the next battlefield.
alright.
No more selling out.
There is one last link in Liu Mingqi¡¯s entire plan.
It¡¯s also a very important part.
He wants to defeat the Shiwei coalition forces in Ningyuan City in one fell swoop through a pincer attack from the east and west, and retain an important fulcrum for Dakang in the Western Liaoning Corridor.
Why should we give up the bigger and better city of Jinzhou City and defend the slightly weaker city of Ningyuan?
the reason is simple.
The first point is also a very important point. Jinzhou City is too close to the enemy and too far from our own people.
About seventy miles past Jinzhou City is Linghe River, and one hundred miles past Linghe River is Liaohe River.
Next to the Liaohe River is the territory of the Shiwei people, but there are not many people living there.
It is only less than 200 miles away. If the enemy is willing to invade, they can basically gallop on horseback and reach the gate of Jinzhou City in two days.
In the past, there was a Jinzhou avant-garde city thirty miles in front of Jinzhou City. The terrain was very dangerous and it guarded the canyon pass. It was impossible for the enemy to pass by silently.
But now the Shiwei coalition forces not only captured Jinzhou City, but also dismantled and destroyed it. Therefore, it became an undefended place, and Shiwei's cavalry could pass unimpeded.
The distance between Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City is almost 250 miles.
But Ningyuan City is a little far away from Shanhaiguan, a full three hundred miles away.
Calculating this way, Jinzhou City is a full 550 miles away from Shanhaiguan, which is a lot longer than the 300 miles between Ningyuan City and Shanhaiguan.
If Shanhaiguan wants to rescue Ningyuan City, it will take three or four days, and it will take at least six or seven days to go to Jinzhou City.
In this situation where the Liaoxi Corridor is about to be destroyed, and when Dakang is surrounded by enemies on all sides, Liu Mingqi would definitely be willing to use Ningyuan City as the fulcrum of the Liaoxi Corridor if only one city could be retained.
After all, Ningyuan City is not bad. Not only is its location steep, easy to defend but difficult to attack, but it also has a relatively large port, which can easily provide various supports from the sea.
The second point is that there are some strategic considerations.
If the Dakang Army takes control of Ningyuan City, will the Shiwei people still dare to operate with confidence and boldness from Ningyuan City to Jinzhou City?
¡°Do they dare to move the people here?
I don¡¯t dare!
Dakang¡¯s army can leave Ningyuan City at any time and sneak attack and rob them, just like they did to the people of Dakang decades ago.
¡°Then you say, if they arrange these farmers behind Jinzhou City and use Jinzhou City as a protective barrier, wouldn¡¯t that make it less dangerous?
right!
This is what I¡¯m talking about.
But the problem is that before this, before Shiwei attacked Dakang, Dakang had never taken care of the land outside Jinzhou City¡¯s edifice!
Even if the farmers in Shiwei are farming and living there, Dakang will not do any aggressive behavior.
Even Dakang would purchase their grain and livestock in large quantities.
? Okay.
What it means now is that after Shi Wei sacrificed hundreds of thousands of people to conquer a large area of ??land, and then took on Dakang, what they got was almost the same as before, and there was no change.
No!
It¡¯s not like there hasn¡¯t been any change.
They also got Jinzhou City.
So the third point in Liu Mingqi¡¯s plan came again.
What benefits will the people of Shiwei gain from getting Jinzhou City?
Jinzhou City has been beaten to pieces and cannot be used at all.
&n??Why is he revered as a saint?
"We can only let the navy brothers work harder." Fang Kaiyue said immediately: "But one thing is, you must not overload because you are anxious, otherwise something will go wrong and the trouble will be even greater!"
"This is natural." Liao Shicong replied, "Zhang Yungang will take control personally and there will be no problems."
After a pause, he said: "Then let the government officials and city defense troops light more fires to keep warm, and boil more ginger soup to keep warm and make more broth and pancakes. We have reached this point. We can no longer let the common people suffer."
An aide nearby quickly wrote a document, asked Liao Shicong to sign it, then mounted a horse and galloped off to find Zhang Tie.
The staff around Liao Shicong are not like the group of literati in Beijing. They are capable of literary and military skills, and can even go to war at critical moments.
This is the characteristic of the frontier.
It is difficult for a simple literati to survive here.
Liao Shicong sighed: "These common people went to western Liaoning during the coldest time. If we want to resettle them, the court needs more support."
"Don't worry, there is no doubt about this." Fang Kaiyue nodded and said: "Once the news is received, all the food and materials from the imperial court will be in place as soon as possible, and the people will definitely not be allowed to starve to death or freeze to death."
"Such consumption is still too great. The key point is that if they pass now, they will become half of Liaoning and bear the livelihood of everyone before." Liao Shicong said: "More than three months ago, we moved three More than 100,000 people have gone there, and now another 100,000 people are coming. I really don¡¯t know how they will survive if the war continues for a few years.¡±
When Liao Shicong spoke, he always looked at Liu Mingqi.
At first, Liu Mingqi didn¡¯t understand why.
After hearing this, the young man suddenly realized.
He pondered and said: "Let's do this! The workshops that can best absorb people in Prince Yu's Mansion are the briquette workshop and the sugar workshop. The sugar workshop is temporarily unrealistic due to transportation and the current season.
Then I will open two briquette workshops in Liaoning! On the one hand, it can be provided to the garrison, and on the other hand, they can also be sold to several nearby provinces, so that everyone has work to do and life will be no problem! "
"Okay! Okay! Okay!"
Liao Shicong suddenly slapped his leg and stood up again to salute: "Your Highness, you are truly a living Bodhisattva! On behalf of these five hundred thousand people, thank you!"
The young man smiled and nodded in response.
Many provinces and territories of Dakang are similar to those of the ancient empire of another era.
? But there are also differences.
For example, the current Liaoning Province does not include the Liaodong Peninsula, and the international metropolises Tieling, Fengtianfu, Fushun, etc. are not included in the scope.
¡°But it also includes parts of Hebei that originally belonged to Hebei, such as Chengde, Tangshan, and Qinhuangdao.
More than 300,000 people who were evacuated from the Liaoxi Corridor were resettled in these places.
The same is true for today¡¯s 100,000 people.
Liaoning is a vast and sparsely populated area, so there is no problem in accommodating so many people, but the problem is that in such a small place, there is simply no such large agricultural land for them to plant.
¡°Besides, winter is coming soon, what else can be planted in the Northeast?
Without planting, the business here is not developed. Because of the cold weather, there are basically no handicraft workshops in western Liaoning, so everyone depends on the weather for food.
¡°Well, that¡¯s not right either.
They make a living by supplying vegetables, meat, fruits, vegetables and food to the soldiers in the surrounding cities and defense lines.
They grow food, raise livestock, and then go hunting, or cut firewood, etc., and do all kinds of work.
Coupled with some subsidies from the court, life can always go on.
But with so many people, it¡¯s no longer possible.
Of course, the imperial court can afford the lives of these people, even for a year or two. There is no problem - Hebei and Shandong have a large amount of grain stored in preparation for problems in Liaoning.
But this is not a long-term solution.
You can manage them for one year, two years, or even three to five years, but can you manage them for a lifetime?
"If they don't do anything, not only the adults will be disabled, but the children will be disabled as well - it's not like we don't know what the pigs who were raised in captivity will look like in the end!
So Liao Shicong thought of asking them to do something.
Dakang is a commercial society, and various workshops emerge in endlessly, but why do people come to Liaoning to build workshops in you?
??Everyone¡¯s business is basically fixed, and there are very few workshops that suddenly develop and require large-scale recruitment of workers.
¡°And when people recruit people, they usually recruit local people. Local officials will not allow them to give up these job opportunities to people from other places.
Coincidentally, Liao Shicong knew that there was a workshop that needed to recruit people on a large scale, and it was not limited to the local area. It could even recruit 30,000 to 50,000 people at one time, or even more.
That is the briquette workshop of Prince Yu¡¯s Mansion.
