- The Song Dynasty had many enemies in history. The Khitan, Jurchen, and Mongolia were all their enemies.
So, Zhao Hongyu was right when he said that the Jurchens outside the city were his enemies.
It is precisely for this reason that Eunuch Xue didn't worry much after listening to Zhao Hongyu's words.
In fact, Zhao Hongyu had already thought about this.
"Come on, let's go up and have a look too."
Groups of soldiers were passing by with serious and frightened expressions.
In such an environment, Zhao Hongyu still looked calm, as if the Jurchens who were launching an attack outside the city did not take him to heart at all.
The Jurchens are launching an attack outside the city, and there will be a war here soon. Isn't the crown prince afraid?
Eunuch Xue looked at Zhao Hongyu's expression in the light of the fire and thought secretly in his heart.
The son of a rich man will not sit in the palace. No one with a certain status will come to such a dangerous place.
"But the crown prince from America has to come to a place like this. Doesn't he know the importance of it?"
Although Eunuch Xue was complaining in his heart, he could not influence Zhao Hongyu's decision.
Therefore, Eunuch Xue could only let Zhao Hongyu take the risk himself.
If something goes wrong then, it will have nothing to do with Daming. Eunuch Xue also told Zhao Hongyu.
And Zhao Hongyu, of course, also clearly expressed his understanding.
The 100,000 garrison troops in the capital may seem like a lot, but spread over a long city wall, they seem to be a drop in the bucket.
At this time, the city wall of the capital was much larger than in another time and space, and it had not experienced any random demolition.
For example, on this section of the city wall in the south of the city, the Ming garrison stationed here only numbered a mere 3,000.
But the Jurchen army attacking outside the city numbered as many as 8,000 people.
So, this battle is definitely going to be fought.
The Jurchens are better because they have more soldiers, and they concentrate on a section of the city defense to attack.
The Ming army was victorious because the city defense was high and thick. With such a strong city defense, it would not be easy for the woman to attack.
"Everyone, cheer up! The Jurchens are nothing to be afraid of. Everyone has taken a closer look. They also have a head, a nose and two arms. They don't have anything more than us. The Jurchens start today Attack, if they succeed, none of us will survive"
On the city wall, the school lieutenant stationed on this section of the city defense was loudly cheering for the soldiers.
"It's a pity that the soldiers who were hiding behind the battlements with their weapons and watching the enemy slowly approaching from the city had no intention of paying attention to this general.
"Roll the oil! Throw wood!"
"Go!"
The war finally started.
When the surrendered army approached the city wall, it suddenly changed from slowly approaching to running.
Groups of soldiers carrying ladders quickly came to the city wall and leaned the ladders against them.
"Push the ladder away from me! Hurry up, push it away!"
The defenders on top of the city also began to respond.
Whoosh whoosh!
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Rows of arrows were shot down from the top of the city. Because of the darkness, the attacking surrender soldiers could not see clearly, so they could only use small shields to avoid the arrows from the top of the city.
But even so, many people were still shot to the ground.
Although wars in the cold weapon era were not as powerful as modern battlefields, they were no less bloody.
"It seems impossible for these surrendered troops to capture this city wall. They are simply seeking death." Behind the surrendered troops, the commander and deputy responsible for holding down the formation and the white flag looked at the fighting in front of them. The two shook their heads and exchanged words.
They are all people who have salvaged the war, so how could they not know this.
When they fought against the Liaodong Army, it was not like they had never conquered cities or territories. But when facing those cities in Liaodong, the Jurchens will also feel a headache.
"The city in Liaodong is obviously not as tall and thick as the capital city.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
¡°At present, their Jurchen army outside the capital city only has more than 60,000 people. It is obviously impossible to conquer the capital with 100,000 people garrisoned.¡±?Things.
And it is impossible for the Jurchens to devote all their troops to the siege.
Because they can¡¯t afford it.
The total population of the Jurchens at this time was only about one million, and this population of more than one million also included the elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, women and children.
There are only more than 200,000 adult men who can fight.
In today¡¯s Houjin Kingdom, most of the men who can wield swords and guns have become soldiers.
But even so, they did not dare to really compete with the Ming Dynasty.
"In the Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people died without any pain, but if thousands of Jurchens died in a war, they would feel extremely distressed.
There is no way, who allowed them to have a small population.
If a large number of men are lost, then there will be no hope for the Hou Jin Kingdom.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
This number is very important. Jurchen men under the age of sixteen and over fifty are all included in it.
The real young adults are only hundreds of thousands of people.
Otherwise, Huang Taiji would not have adopted Fan Wencheng's strategy of grabbing some Ming people from Liaodong to fill the population of the Later Jin Kingdom, and also created some surrender troops.
Therefore, every time the Jurchens fight against the Ming army, they will act very cautiously.
Before the war, they will try their best to think carefully and save their soldiers.
Therefore, the old people in Liaodong all know that the Jurchens attach great importance to battle losses.
Whether their generals are good or not depends mainly on the wealth gained from each battle and the number of soldiers lost in battle.
Of course, the more wealth, the better, which proves your ability.
And the fewer the number of battle losses, the better.
This shows that you are an excellent general. If everyone fights with you, their lives can be guaranteed to a large extent.
However, the Jurchens were not afraid of fighting for this reason and were as timid as mice on the battlefield. On the contrary, they dared to fight and kill on the battlefield, and were extremely fierce.
It is precisely with such fierce energy that the Jurchens can rise from the black mountains and white waters in a few decades and begin to compete with the Ming Dynasty.
Furthermore, the Houjin Kingdom established by the Jurchens has begun to expand their sphere of influence to Goryeo and Eastern Mongolia, and the momentum is also very rapid.
But the Ming Dynasty had nothing to do about it.
The Jurchens are not productive. Their annual income basically comes from plundering from the Ming Dynasty.
It can be said that if there is no war, the Jurchens will have nothing to eat and use.
It is precisely for this reason that the Jurchens regard war as a daily life, a very common thing.
Although this ¡®profession¡¯ is very dangerous, you may lose your life.
But for the Jurchens, looting and killing to obtain a better life is also a way to prove themselves.
The Ming Dynasty could not understand this kind of thinking.
In the later Jin Dynasty, real Jurchens and fake Jurchens were distinguished.
Needless to say, the Jurchens are the Manchus who were born and raised in Houjin. They include all the Jurchen tribes.
??The fake Jurchens are the Ming people, Koreans, and Mongols who plundered back from the Nurhaci era after the establishment of the Later Jin Dynasty.
They were captured and brought back to the Houjin Kingdom, where they were engaged in the most despicable things, and most of them became slaves of powerful people in the Houjin Kingdom.
After a long time, these people gradually changed their minds and finally began to regard themselves as Jurchens.
"There are many people who have such a change of thought among those who were arrested during the Hou Jin Dynasty.
But no matter how they regard themselves as Jurchens, they are all lowly in Houjin country.
The real Manchus did not treat them as human beings at all.
???????????????? Only when the policy was slightly relaxed, in order to let them serve the Later Jin Kingdom and reduce the real Manchu war losses, they acquiesced to the fact that they claimed to be Manchus.
"But the Manchus acquiesced, and they would admit it if they didn't bring it."
"Privately, the Manchus are quite critical of these people.
However, with the existence of the surrender army composed of these people, the real number of Manchus killed in battle was indeed much less.
After seeing the benefits, the Jurchens looked at it squarely.?The existence of Shunjun.
"It's just that this kind of respect is obtained at the cost of human life.
The surrendered soldiers who are used as cannon fodder for ants will be assigned the most dangerous tasks every time they appear on the battlefield, or they will be asked to deal with the largest number of enemies.
Just like now, in a battle they know is impossible, they still have to rush forward crazily and dare not retreat. It can be said that the life of the surrendered army was not easy either.
However, compared to other Han people living in Houjin Middle School, their life was pretty good.
"At least they are cannon fodder in the Jurchen army, but when the Jurchens win the battle, they can also get some benefits.
" Moreover, the Jurchens' harsh military laws made them even more afraid to disobey orders.
?Some people say, why don¡¯t they escape Houjin?
In fact, this is also the reason why the surrender army exists.
Their hands are stained with the blood of their compatriots. It can be said that everyone has become a villain no matter what the reason is.
¡°As for this person, once he gets started, he will be broken.
The soldiers who returned to the army are basically in the same situation.
hey-hey!
The Zhengbai Banners holding the Jurchen formation at the rear all sneered: "Even if we let them die, the lives of the Han people are not as valuable as those of us Manchus. If they don't go up, it will be our Manchus' turn, so I I still think it¡¯s better to let them do this.¡± (To be continued.
