- When Zhao Hongyu returned to his residence in the central area of ??Jincheng, his lieutenants also counted the number of people who had left Jincheng in the past few days. After learning that Zhao Hongyu had returned, they immediately came to his residence and began to attack him. reported.
"Your Highness, according to our statistics, since the people knew that Hou Jin had sent troops to Jincheng, about 8,000 people have left Jincheng."
Eight thousand people Zhao Hongyu pondered for a moment after knowing this data.
The 8,000 people who left were actually not a large number, but they were definitely a quarter of the number of people in Jincheng.
Of course, this does not include Sun Chuanting's 5,000 Ming army, his own 25,000 imperial army and 10,000 Jiuzhou soldiers.
The statistics compiled by the adjutants are only the data of the people here in Jincheng.
"Fortunately, only 8,000 people left. I can still accept such a number."
Zhao Hongyu nodded slowly and said to the adjutant standing in front of him.
Yes, according to Zhao Hongyu's own prediction, half of the people in Jincheng might have to leave.
?That means 15,000 people are leaving.
But now there are only 8,000 people, so Zhao Hongyu is quite satisfied with this.
¡°At the very least, this also proves that the former Liaodong Ming people whom I took in have more or less nostalgia and a sense of belonging to Jincheng, doesn¡¯t it?
¡°Otherwise, they would all have left long ago.
But think about it, no matter how bad things are here in Jincheng, it is still better than other places in Ming Dynasty.
There are no lords and officials who impose excessive taxes and oppress the people at every turn. The people who have lived here for more than two months have experienced a life in Jincheng that they have never experienced before.
"These people have actually thought and discussed privately that if they leave Jincheng, they will never find a place where they can be so free and live a good life by their own strength.
However, there is also something unsatisfactory about Jincheng.
That is because Jincheng is too close to Shengjing, the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? If not for this. In fact, Jincheng is simply a paradise.
But they are worried about what will happen. Everyone is worried that the development of Jincheng will attract Hou Jin's attention. Now Hou Jin really sent troops out to launch a military attack on Jincheng.
Based on the past examples of the Ming army fighting against Hou Jin, it is understandable that the Ming people here in Jincheng feel some fear about the future.
In the more than 20 years of battle between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin Dynasty, it can be said that the Ming Dynasty army lost more than it won, and almost every battle was a defeat.
On the other hand, look back at the Eight Banners of Houjin. Then you will continue to win.
??????????????? After the Jinba Banner wins, they will send their troops to plunder the Liaodong area, causing great harm to the people of Liaodong.
The people of the original Liaodong are already deeply aware of the incompetence of the Ming army.
Therefore, when Hou Jin sent troops this time, none of them were optimistic about the defenders here in Jincheng.
Basically, they don¡¯t think that the Ming army and those Song people can defend Jincheng.
But. Regardless of whether it is good or not, Jincheng is their home after all. They have worked hard here and have a home.
Once they leave Jincheng, where else can they go?
They can still have some income here in Jincheng, but if they go to other places, it is not certain whether they can find a job, not to mention the income.
Although they saved some money when they were here in Jincheng.
But after leaving Jincheng, there will definitely be a long period of time when you have nothing to do.
By the time. Maybe he will starve to death.
It is precisely because of this issue that the people here in Jincheng are ideologically divided.
Some people decided to stay. They were unwilling to abandon their homes and careers and live in fear.
These people think that as long as they defend the city well this time, it is not necessarily possible that the Houjin Eight Banners will be able to capture it.
¡°Besides, they have personally experienced the construction of Jincheng for more than two months.
They know very well how strong and thick Jincheng¡¯s defenses are.
It is precisely because of knowing this that those who decided to stay have a little more confidence.
And the opposite of these people is. There are also some people who are completely unfavorable to the Jincheng defenders. They believe that the defenders here cannot possibly be the opponent of the fierce Houjin Eight Banners.?.
After all, with more than 20 years of war experience, they couldn't help but think otherwise.
Generally, after Hou Jin conquered a city, he would massacre and plunder the city.
Therefore, those who stay in the city will not be spared.
So, those common people who were not optimistic that the defenders and people would definitely break through Jincheng for the money, made a choice of their own.
That means that the Hou Jin army has not arrived at Jincheng yet. Leave here when sieging Jincheng.
In their opinion, if Jincheng can withstand Houjin's attack, they can just wait for them to retreat and then come back.
This is also a very good idea.
But what they didn¡¯t consider was that in this situation, they didn¡¯t share the same hardships with Jincheng. So even if they come back in the future, they will not be able to enjoy such good benefits now.
Especially those who have already been allocated a house, they will regret their choice even more.
¡°However, the common people of Ming Dynasty in this era are not yet so aware.
In other words, they simply don¡¯t have the long-term vision to see this.
After all, more than 90% of the people of the Ming Dynasty in this era were illiterate.
And how can you give an illiterate person a long-term perspective? This is completely nonsense.
"But we can't blame these people. You must know that studying in this era is not an easy task.
It¡¯s far from another time and space, or a virtual world where everyone has gone to school. At most, the differences are elementary school, junior high school, high school and university.
People in this era, as long as they are illiterate, will definitely not be able to read even a single word.
What¡¯s more, this era is also an era of information explosion. People can know a lot of information through various media such as TV, radio and the Internet.
So, you can¡¯t ask them to have any long-term vision, right?
It is precisely because he understands this problem that Zhao Hongyu has no hatred for those who choose to leave, because it is completely unnecessary.
Those who left also had their reasons.
but. Although Zhao Hongyu understood it very well, he still had to do something.
That is to take back the distributed welfare housing.
Anyone who leaves Jincheng, who have allocated welfare houses to recover the house and do some small supervisors at the construction site, then their position will be topped by others.
When these people came back after defeating the Hou Jin army, they not only had to start from scratch. And you will never get the salary and benefits you have now.
Seeing that His Highness was not angry because of this matter, the adjutant couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
What he was most worried about was that His Highness would be offended by such a trivial matter.
To be honest, the Chinese descendants of the Empire here in Jincheng are not angry or angry at all when someone chooses to leave Jincheng.
They just think that these people have no vision and complain in their hearts that they have made a wrong choice.
But they are open-minded. But I'm worried that His Highness won't be able to think about it.
¡°After all, if it weren¡¯t for His Highness, the people here in Jincheng would have starved to death long ago.
It can be said that His Highness gave them a way to survive and made their lives better.
In a situation like this, you should at least keep this in mind and repay the favor.
Fortunately, Zhao Hongyu¡¯s reaction was very light. Nothing like what everyone feared.
"If you have anything else to say, please continue."
Zhao Hongyu saw that the adjutant in front of him seemed to have something to say, so he spoke to him.
The adjutant nodded and continued.
"Your Highness, after we finished counting the data of the people who left, we went to Sun Chuanting. After some chatting with him, we found that among the soldiers of the Ming Army who were his commanders, there were actually some Lots of desertions."
"Oh, there is such a thing!"
Zhao Hongyu was immediately attracted by the news reported by the adjutant.
Yes. He only wanted the people of Jincheng to leave, but ignored Sun Chuanting and his Ming army group.
The adjutant responded: "Yes, Sun Chuanting told the official personally, so there is nothing wrong at all."
"Think"Come on, there are deserters even among the Ming army. "
Zhao Hongyu raised his hand and stroked his chin slowly, and muttered to himself unexpectedly.
The adjutant stood there and heard Zhao Hongyu talking to himself, so he answered and said: "Actually, it's not surprising. The Ming army has always lost more than it won in battles with the Eight Banners soldiers. Of course they have a sense of fear towards the Eight Banners soldiers. Moreover, when Sun Chuanting originally left the capital, he only had 500 pro-army troops around him. Only when he arrived in Datong did he receive Yang Fengyi, Wu Sangui and more than 800 criminal troops. These are the elite Ming army. "
"Although Sun Chuanting currently has 5,000 soldiers on hand, more than 3,000 of them were temporarily recruited in Jincheng. Your Highness should also know that the soldiers he recruited were originally farmers from Liaodong. Just because of this The Eight Banners of Houjin invaded and destroyed their homeland, so they had no choice but to follow us here. So when these people heard the news about the arrival of Houjin's army, it was good that they didn't wet their pants in fear, so it's not surprising that there were deserters. "
Of course Zhao Hongyu understood this very well, and there was no need for his adjutant to remind him of this.
However, he still nodded to show that he understood.
"How many deserters appeared on Sun Chuanting's side, and how did he solve them?"
Zhao Hongyu asked.
The adjutant quickly replied: "My subordinates have asked, and Sun Chuanting said that the number of deserters is about three to four hundred, and that the trend of expansion has been controlled by him. There is nothing he can do about those deserters at the moment, after all, the army of the Later Jin Dynasty Jincheng is getting closer and closer, and what he is thinking about now is how to deal with the attack of the Hou Jin Army. "
After hearing this, Zhao Hongyu said to the adjutant: "Don't be merciful to deserters. The problem of deserters must be dealt with. Otherwise, if the morale of the army is unstable and mutiny occurs, it will be a big deal. But there will be no such thing here in Jincheng. What's the problem? It's impossible for the Hou Jin army to attack the city. Go ahead, just say this to him" - Didn't finish reading?
