Chapter 321
After a night of education, the people around him stopped causing trouble, and many people had to kill them on the spot.
However, according to Zhu Cixuan's idea, after the war in the late Ming Dynasty, most northern regions were short of labor, and these people were extremely cheap labor.
Just give them a bite of food and they can work for more than ten hours a day, and they are all dirty and tiring work.
If you resist, don’t blame us for being rude. You have a chance to survive, which is enough to take care of you.
On the third day, all the Korean prisoners of war were organized, and a total of more than 2,000 people could go to work.
Their mission is to see the wasteland that is beyond your sight. Originally, there were also cultivated land, but the local people have fled to the famine and I don’t know if they are still alive, so weeds are growing here, so we have to rely on these people to clean it up.
Three meals a day, each meal with a steamed bun with grain noodles, can make them feel that life is worse than death, otherwise it would not be enough to redeem their sins.
It was precisely because of these soldiers from Goryeo that Prince Zheng and the others had won several days of breathing time.
After solving these things, Gao Jie was ready for battle.
During these days, Gao Jie ordered his soldiers to set up the stage.
During the Wuchang Battle, these platforms have been proven to be extremely useful. If you put on one more layer of platforms, you will be able to have an additional team of soldiers. When fighting, you will be able to have an additional team of bullets.
Prince Zheng and the others have never seen such things, and they don’t understand the use of putting these things in front of the position?
Although their army did not suffer much loss, the power of the shell explosion during the previous attack scared many of their subordinates.
When they came out of the capital, the people under Prince Zheng were full of fighting spirit. After all, they had never fought with the people from the Southern Ming court. However, after a contact between two days ago, these people knew that the army of the Southern Ming court was in a force investigation.
So when the military meeting was held, these people stopped coming forward, and were afraid that Prince Zheng would send them out.
At this moment, Prince Zheng looked at the generals in front of him. How could he not understand what they were thinking?
However, the imperial court had already issued official documents to ask them to kill the Ming army in Dezhou as soon as possible, rather than defending the city.
Based on the official documents sent back by Hauge and some of Duoduo's experience in Shandong, this is when the other party is preparing.
If we don't hurry up, when the other party prepares, the other party will launch a bombardment on the city wall. No city wall can stop the cannons of the Southern Ming court. After the city wall collapses, we will have to retreat again.
Dezhou is the northernmost part of Shandong. If you continue to retreat, you will come to Zhili.
It's too close to the capital.
Therefore, we must fight quickly and decide quickly, and take advantage of the combat effectiveness of Gao Jie's troops as soon as possible.
"The imperial court's order has been delivered. Who dares to go and defeat the enemy?"
These people in the room were all Prince Zheng’s confidants. The palms of his hands were flesh and the backs of his hands were flesh, so it was hard for Prince Zheng to directly levy him to see if anyone took the initiative to attack.
After Prince Zheng finished speaking, the people in the room remained silent, which was completely different from the original one.
It turned out that on the battlefield, the Qing generals had a breaking head for anyone who could go to war first. At that time, the Qing army was invincible. Now these people seemed to have not heard Prince Zheng's words, and they were all like ostrichs.
"Ebilong, you said."
The meeting cannot be delayed like this forever, and someone must come out to break the deadlock. As the deputy general of the Manchu generals, Ebilong is also the assistant of Prince Zheng, so Prince Zheng pushed the ball to him.
Ebilong also looked at the general below with a stingy bullet. Who would like to go out at this time?
It’s not that everyone didn’t see anyone who chose to go out to fight at this time, it would be like tying his head to his belt and throwing it outside at any time. These people now have big and small people at home, so who would want to throw their lives here?
"Report to the prince that the army outside the city is already gathering."
Ebilong was about to speak, but who knew that the city gate school came to report that the army outside had already gathered.
"What?"
Prince Zheng felt a little dizzy. He thought that after he was ready, he could succeed in sneak attacking while they were not prepared. Now he is ready for battle. So don’t we have no chance at all?
Prince Zheng was surrounded by people and quickly arrived at the city gate building. To be honest, if Prince Zheng was not the chief general, he would not even be willing to come over to the city gate building.
There is a large hole with a diameter of more than one meter more than 10 meters away from the city gate tower. This is what the other party's shells were thrown over. If it is thrown on the city gate tower, can your head be harder than these bricks?
Looking from the city gate tower, the other party had no formation at all, just a long snake formation lined up.
But this is not the first time they have fought with the Southern Ming army. It is just like this one-character long snake formation. The Eight Banners Iron Cavalry rushed over, but Duoduo rushed over at his risk.
During the war the day before yesterday, the opponent's musket team did not show much combat effectiveness, and most of them were artillery and cavalry fighting.
Although Prince Zheng has not made any plans, now they have already set up formations, so we cannot underestimate them. With Prince Zheng waved his hand, the army in the city began to gather under the city wall.
This time, there were 50,000 soldiers outside the city, including 20,000 temporary recruitment of 10,000 Liaodong infantry, the remaining 10,000 were the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry, and 10,000 Mongolian cavalry.
It is quite possible in terms of equipment. The cavalry is stationed on the two wings and rear of the infantry. If the infantry does not fight, it looks a bit combat-effective. However, if the artillery fire starts to temporarily recruit 20,000 soldiers, I don’t know what the situation is. Many of them were put on military uniforms yesterday.
Some of these people are the people of Dezhou Prefecture. Their families were all burdened by the Qing soldiers, and now they have to go to war for the Qing soldiers.
Can they have this heart?
Many people looked at the nearby Qing officers fiercely, thinking about avenging their families. If the fight really starts, the first thing they want is to beat their Qing officers...
