Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

In fact, this strategy cannot be wrong, and it can even be said to be the strategy with the least casualties-but this strategy is too expensive.

If it was when Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di was still alive, or even during the Zhengde period, there was no pressure to implement this strategy.

After all, the Ming court at that time had plenty of silver and some capable troops, so it was not easy to do this.

But in fact, Sun Chengzong proposed this strategy during the reign of Tianqi.

At that time, there were constant disturbances in various places, and natural disasters basically occurred every year. Wei Zhongxian did not have enough money for his life, let alone playing such a money-burning strategy in Liaodong.

So Sun Chengzong had no choice but to be taken home by Lao Wei - he really couldn't afford that money.

As for now, Sun Chengzong felt that the treasury should be rich, at least the military pay has always been a penny, and the full amount will not be delayed for a day.

Since the treasury has money, what else is there to say, just start building the city, and then cannibalize the slaves?

A funny scene appeared.

Originally in history, construction of Daling City started in July of the fourth year of Chongzhen. When it was almost finished, the work was stopped, and then slave soldiers were built to surround Daling City.

Now Daling City started construction in April of the fourth year of Chongzhen, and was targeted by Jiannu as soon as it started construction.

It's just that Huang Taiji didn't expect that he led his troops to surround Daling City halfway through, but it was still not as fast as Daling City's fortification - even the defenders at the top of the city shot at him while strengthening the city defense.

In Daling City, Zu Dashou had already fallen into a state of rage: "Damn it, I just said that those civil servants are bullshit, now look at them, what are they all like?!"

He Kegang persuaded: "Why should the commander do anything? It's better to stick to it for a while, and the reinforcements will always arrive."

Zu Dashou said angrily: "So what if the reinforcements arrive? Do you want to fight a field battle with Jiannu? Don't say it's me, how much can you believe in yourself?"

He Kegang smiled wryly.

I and others were originally building Daling City, so they brought a lot of supplies—but they didn't bring much food, and they all relied on the supplies from the rear.

Now it is surrounded by Jiannu, the whole Daling City is surrounded by Haogou dug by Jiannu, and there are also fences erected to intercept war horses, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is impossible to escape.

That's not the only thing that bothers me more.

The most troublesome thing is that Jiannu also has cannons. Even if the range and power are not as powerful as Daming's cannons, but whether they have or not is completely different.

At the very least, reinforcements in the direction of Jinzhou can't be counted on.

It would be better if the ditches for Jiannu were dug against the city wall - that would save people like myself from having to go out to dig the moat in the middle of the night.

That's right, what Zu Dashou and He Kegang made up their minds was to stick to Daling City to attract Jiannu, so that Sun Chengzong would have the opportunity to lash out at Jianu—anyway, if he wanted to escape and there was nowhere to escape, he might as well play a big one.

The unpredictability of history has once again emerged.

It was a good idea to dig the moat at night, and Zu Dashou and He Kegang did the same thing, but the side effect was something neither of them expected—there was a shortage of food in the city.

Deputy General Zhang Cunren squinted his eyes, staring at Zu Dashou and He Kegang and said, "There is no food, what should I do?"

Zu Dashou waved his hand and said distractedly: "What's the matter? Otherwise, you cannibalize human flesh? Isn't this handsome now that I don't have to eat it? Go, go, grass roots, tree bark, eat what you can eat first, it's really not good Slaughter the working cattle and eat them."

Zhang Cunren backed away in embarrassment, He Kegang persuaded: "Let's find a way to write to Master Sun, and it's a matter of time for him to march quickly."

He Kegang suddenly stared at Zu Dashou and said, "Daddy, do you dare to eat human flesh?"

Zu Dashou stood up with a groan, and said angrily: "Are you crazy? I don't know the fate of cannibalism in history, but there were cannibals in Shaanxi, and you haven't heard of the consequences?"

He Kegang spread his hands and said with a smile: "I know, isn't it just slaughtering the whole city? But what if you don't eat human flesh?

Grass roots and bark have a day to eat, and beef also has a day to eat.As far as the cattle in the city are concerned, the soldiers are really open to eat, and it is estimated that they will not last a day.

What to do then?The soldiers are starving to death, who will guard the city? "

Zu Dashou snorted and said, "Don't even think about it, let me tell you, eating human flesh is a taboo! Unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not eat human flesh!"

It's just that Zu Dashou didn't expect that this last day would come so soon.

As far as weapons in the city are concerned, there is actually no shortage of weapons, even the ammunition for the artillery is sufficient. Even Jiannu has the so-called red cannon, but relying on the range and power, Daling City can even fight with Jiannu. shoot at.

Looking at Jiannu who retreated after throwing down a piece of corpses of the siege soldiers again, He Kegang gritted his teeth and said, "I went out of the city to provoke Jiannu, and the commander ordered someone to prepare to drag all the corpses of Jiannu back. How much can I drag back?" How much."

Zu Dashou yelled angrily: "Fart! Although the food in the city is said to be gone, there is still beef, right? Even if you drink broth, you can last for another two days, find another way!"

After stopping He Kegang, Zu Dashou opened his mouth and said: "Wu Xiang and the others are coming soon, bear with it, I will also drink broth with the soldiers these two days, no matter what, I will survive these two days. "

As soon as Zu Dashou's words fell, someone from the Jiannu army rode out alone, galloped to the bottom of the city, and shouted loudly: "Listen to the guards at the top of the city, my Da Khan has something to say!"

Zu Dashou said with a dark face: "If you have something to say, you can fart and let it go, and you can save yourself by persuading you to surrender!"

The emissary riding out alone rolled his eyes at Zu Dashou's words, and after a while he said loudly: "My family's sweat said that as long as the city surrenders, the high-ranking officials have to be horses and riders, wouldn't it be better than staying in the city? "

Zu Dashou's expression remained unchanged, and he whispered to He Kegang, "I'll lure him over, and you shoot him to death!"

Seeing that Zu Dashou opened and closed his mouth, but there was no sound, the messenger looked at the direction of the wind and thought that he had not heard Zu Dashou's voice, so he urged the horse forward a few more steps.

He Kegang never thought that the opportunity would come so suddenly, and while the envoy was listening to Zu Dashou's mouthful of sarcasm, he directly drew a bow and arrow, and shot straight at the envoy.

Seeing that the messenger fell off the horse with an arrow, He Kegang said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

Zu Dashou ignored He Kegang, untied his trouser belt, and began to urinate towards the city, shouting arrogantly while urinating: "Come on, you motherfuckers, play this trick with me!"

Another horse galloped out of the Jiannu formation, but this time he learned the lesson well, and instead of approaching the city, he shouted from a distance: "Since ancient times, the two countries have not cut off their troops, and the great general Zu has not made too much money." Is it?"

Zu Dashou laughed wildly on the top of the wall: "Stupid you, Huang Taiji and this commander are not two countries, he is a fucking rebel, understand?

I just killed a rebel, why are the two countries fighting each other?If this matter is brought up to the emperor, it is also justified by me! "

The new envoy pointed to Zu Dashou, and simply went back to return in a resentment—to make a fuss in front of the emperor?

Doesn't that mean making a fuss in front of that dog emperor of the Ming Kingdom?Not to mention that the two countries are at war, even if they are friendly brothers, it is very obvious how the dog emperor will choose.

Feeling that Huang Taiji was being insulted, Ji Erhalang said angrily: "Khan! Otherwise, the slaves will lead troops to attack again, and they will definitely take down this Daling City, and then leave nothing behind!"

Huang Taiji squinted his eyes and said, "No rush!"

4 Chapter Twenty

Fighting such a thing is to risk one's life.But it's not enough to just play with your life, you have to use your brain.

On the battlefield, whoever dares to risk his life and who can use his brain will win.

This is where Huang Taiji thinks he is stronger than the other brothers.

Those bastards just grew their heads to look taller. As for using their brains to think about problems, they have to rely on themselves.

After returning to the big tent of the Chinese army, Huang Taiji said directly: "What do you think of Daling City?"
