The Ming Army's several siege cannons are now in Anshan Lake, because the emperor Zhu Hongsan's light enemy, in the Anshan Lake in the Qing army's ambush, the loss of personnel can be accepted, that is, these siege of the city's moose cannons are sinking into the bottom of the lake.If it is the army's kind of small cannon less than a kilogram, it can be salvaged, but the heavy guns of the city are each seven or eight pounds.At that time, in order to facilitate the transportation of the gun racks, fixed at the bottom of the ship, so that some ballast stones can play the role of ballast stones, to avoid the flat bottom of the canal ship by the wind.

But this can now be troublesome, the ships were burned by the Qing army after the heavy guns have no losses, but sank into the bottom of the lake five or six meters deep, but because there is no gun rack, salvage in the lake water has no power, and over time the heavy guns slowly sink into the silt of the lake, now it is even more difficult to salvage.

Although we all know that the logistics fleet was attacked, Zhu Hongsan, who was greatly happy, had the main responsibility, and if Zhu Hongsan had not played something to lead the snake out of the hole, the fleet could not have been on the road only under the escort of a division.Now there is a problem, so that the Ming army preparing to attack Jinan is very passive.

In fact, when Suqian, Zhu Hongsan's main generals opposed what the emperor was making, and now the Ming Army has the main advantage, it is not necessary to engage in those flowers, directly and steadily, and push past it can, what Jinan and Beijing are all crushed into powder under absolute fire.However, the emperor Zhu Hongsan was very stubborn, and Qian Yong and Zhao Guodong and others did not dare to oppose the emperor's meaning, so as to follow the emperor's advice of the army.

Although the generals know what is going on in their hearts, they still have to maintain the emperor's face on the surface, and now the generals of the whole army listen to Jiang Pengju's questions about the cannon, and they don't say a word.

Zhao Guodong glanced at his eyes and scolded, “Your mother, why don’t you fight without cannons?”The old man told you that even if you put your hand on it, you must also bring the Jinan wall to the old man to collapse!”

Jiang Pengju was most afraid of Zhao Guodong in the army, and now he did not dare to ask the chief to say so.

Zhao Guodong looked at his deputy division commander and said, "The old man told you that His Majesty the Emperor has issued a strict order to break through Jinan Province within a month, and His Majesty wants to enter Beijing before the Spring Festival!"So no matter what tricks Laozi uses, if you have not won Jinan City at the prescribed time, you let Laozi in front of the emperor can not explain, Laozi back to pick up your skin!Tomorrow, the whole team, go to Jinan!”

It is now July 28th, four months before the New Year, the Ming Dynasty because of the small ice, Shandong border at the end of July has been very cold, although there is no snow, but in the mountains at night has dropped to zero.Most of Zhu Hong's soldiers are Southerners, and many people have no experience in fighting in cold areas.Although the supply of Ming Army materials is sufficient, Zhu Hongsan is still afraid of a flash in the winter, so he must take down Jinan by the end of August, and then immediately enter Beijing to take Beijing.Zhao Guodong's subordinates heard the commander say this, take a breath, and there is no way in his heart, so he had to go down and prepare for tomorrow's army.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinan Province was the first of the six provinces of Shandong Province, Jinan Province, leading four states and 26 counties, with an unprecedented geographical area.As the provincial capital, Jinan's socio-economic development level is not the first of the six provinces, but also a medium-high level.Given the status of Shandong Province in the country at that time, it can be said that in the northern region, the level of social and economic development in Jinan Province can be called medium-developed.

However, this was before the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, and in the huge peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Shandong, which was close to Henan, was also affected, but the chaos in Shandong did not have much impact on Jinan City, and the Qing army in Liaodong directly caused fatal damage to the Jinan city wall.

In the 11th year of Chongchen, the emperor Taiji sent Dorgon to lead the army into the gate, and the soldiers were divided into two ways, from the wall of the wall and the Qingshanguan to destroy the border wall, and the soldiers were until Jinan.The two major armies moved more and more, over abundant, and joined Tongzhou, along the Taihang Mountains and canals, divided into eight roads, and attacked west.All six towns along the way were attacked.The Qing army went deep into southern Hebei, even under Guangping, Shunde, and big names, and then turned to Shandong, bypassed Texas, and joined under Jinan City, and broke Jinan City within a day.Jinan was swept away, and then turned to 16 other towns in Shandong.After that, Dorgon led the army to Tianjin Wei, crossed the canal to return east, and returned to Liaodong.

This is the fatal blow to Jinan, Manqing killed two governors and more than 100 guards in this battle, and was allowed to get 46 million people, and the gold was captured by King Zhu Yuhu, county king Zhu Ciying, Feng Guo General Zhu Ciyu, and the prison eunuch Feng allowed, etc., and obtained 46 million and three hundred people and animals, four hundred thousand in gold, and 470, and two thousand seven hundred in silver.At this point, Jinan Province, known as "four sides of lotus and three willows on three sides, one city mountain half-city lake", has completely become another scene at the end of the Ming Dynasty.The original city of more than 600,000 people, only less than 100,000, coupled with the years Shandong everywhere is anti-Qing armed, everyone wants to come to Jinan bite, now Jinan has become a dead city.

Zilharang went to Jinan to see this kind of like also some regret, he did not come to Jinan, only heard of the reputation of this Luzhong town, originally thought that even if it was broken, there are hundreds of thousands of people, to develop their own wrong.

But there is no regret medicine in the world, after Jinan in the absence of a big city can be guarded, the defensive line can only retreat to Tianjin Wei first line.Tianjin in the Ming Dynasty was not the municipality of tens of millions of people in the future, Tianjin Wei in the Ming Dynasty was just a county-scale health center, and it became a city that later cession Tianjin to the major powers as a concession, and Tianjin became a city under the efforts of foreigners.

It is not realistic to use the city wall of Tianjin to deal with the Ming Army, and there is no way Zirharang can only mobilize manpower and repair the Jinan wall.

Jinan Province City was formed in the Song Dynasty, originally built a rammed earth city, from the beginning of four years of Ming Hongwu, through the Ming Dynasty five large-scale construction, there is a high-guang majestic, Wei spectacular Jinan city wall.In the first year, Hongwu transformed into a brick city outside the Tucheng.Jinan Ming Dynasty wall Saturday more than a thousand meters, ten meters high, 16 meters wide, the western gate, the south gate, the east door also built a city, the city gate is built four city buildings, three arrow towers, the city wall is built with corner tower, enemy platform, pavement and other defense facilities, more than 3,000 mouths, the lower green square stone base, about two meters on the ground, the upper blue bricks, each brick.

Of course, Zilharang now has limited resources at hand, and the repair of the Jinan wall can not be as complete as before, and the gap can only be filled and wait for the arrival of the Ming Army.

Ming Tai'an returned to Jinan Province under the management of Jinan Province, and there was a official road connection between the two places, although it passed through the mountains, but the marching conditions were still relatively good.The Ming army led by Zhao Guodong departed from Tai'an on July 29 and came to Jinan on the fifth of August.

Zirharang had received a notification of the destruction of Yue Le's army at this time, although Yue Le still had 20,000 people left, but the horseman's cavalry was still a cavalry?Zilharang did not expect that the Ming army would be so strong, only 15,000 people could stop 100,000 people for a day, so what about the 45,000 people in front of him?

Zilharang stood on the western gate to look at the large number of Ming army from a distance into the distance, his Baoding general soldiers should be stationed in Shanxi, guarded against the same Jiangliang, has not yet fought with the army of Nanming, and now see the Ming Army want to make a first contribution in front of the leadership, so stand up and say: "Prince Zheng, subordinates think that while the Ming Army is not stable, go out to play can weaken the morale of the Ming Army!"

Zilharang is an old oil bar, he knows the power of the Ming Army, and the opposite army is the No. 2 general of the Ming Army, Zhao Guodong, who has been facing each other in Yangzhou, and has fought countless battles in recent years, and the Manqing side still knows the name of Zhao Guodong.

"No, this time the leader of the Ming army is the general Zhao Guodong, this person was in Jiading against my Qingtian soldiers, very difficult to deal with, no one is allowed to go out of the city to fight, violator cut off!"Zilharang refused Yi Yonggui's request, and then said to Jinan Zhifu: "Strengthen the city wall, there are several construction progress behind, the foreman beheaded, the king must see the completion of the wall tomorrow morning!"

Zilharang did not send someone out, Zhao Guodong long after the war can not know this reason.The Ming Army was ready, waiting for the Qing army to come out and pick up the bargain, and then took advantage of the Qing army to attack the city in one fell swoop.As long as the Ming Army enters the city, everything will be stopped, and the Ming Army's super-strong combat ability and rich street fighting experience will be determined to capture Jinan from the hands of Manqing.

But who knows that Zilharang is shrewd and tight, he knows that he is a second-rate army in his hands, and only relying on the wall is the right way, so he is not fooled, but he is safe to hide in the city and watch the Ming army camp.

The Ming army camping is also very wonderful, and it is reasonable to say that the army belongs to the attacking side of the city, and the Jinan regiment should be surrounded.But Zhao Guodong went the opposite way, only camped here in Ximen, and no one guarded the other three directions, as if he was not afraid of the Qing army taking advantage of the opportunity to break through.In fact, Zhao Guodong is not afraid of the Qing army breaking through, because the Ming army's 50,000 cavalry has arrived in Texas, Jinan Qing Army wants to return to Beijing, there is only one way.Yue Le's 150,000 cavalrymen can't do it, and Zhao Guodong doesn't believe that Zir Harang's 70,000 second-rate Han flags can break through the cavalry's blockade?

And Zirharang did not mean to flee at all, but closed the four doors, actively preparing in the city, waiting for the Ming army to attack the city.

Zhao Guodong saw that the Qing army was not on the set at all, and his heart was very depressed, and now it seems that only the broilers waiting in the city are waiting, hoping that these guys can bring good news to themselves.

On the first night of the Ming Army camp in Jinan, Zhao Guodong waited for the news of Jinjie.In the middle of the night, a close soldier came in to tell him that a person had come out of the city, claiming to be Jinan Jinan Shiwei, and came out to send a letter to Zhao Guodong.
