Chapter 133 Meeting after the war

The sky was slowly getting dark. After ordering a team of 3,000 cavalrymen to chase Jin soldiers and expand some results, Yuan Chonghuan led his men and horses to Jinzhou City with the Ming army that had originally guarded the city. Everyone showed joy on their faces, because today they actually repelled the Jin soldiers who were unable to cope with in the past, which greatly enhanced the confidence of the Liaodong defenders.

Tang Feng had already come down from the city gate and stood in front of the city gate and smiled at Yuan Chonghuan. When he looked at him, Tang Feng bowed his hands and bowed to him. Seeing this, Yuan Chonghuan hurriedly drove forward and dismounted in front of him and said, "Yizhi, you have too many politeness. It is much late for me to bring troops to help this time, which makes you want to defend the city."

Tang Feng just smiled at him clearly because he understood Yuan Chonghuan's difficulties, and in the end he came with his men and horses, and it was just the right time. The two of them walked towards the city. After a few steps, they saw Wang Huazhen strode with joy. At this time, his official uniform was very neat, and it looked like that. Seeing Yuan Chonghuan bringing his men and horses in, he hurriedly laughed: "Mr. Yuan, I knew that you would bring people and horses to support him in time. This time I was able to defeat the Jurchens. Lord Yuan, you have made great contributions. I will definitely report to the court truthfully!" While speaking, he looked at Tang Feng intentionally or unintentionally.

When the war broke out again, Wang Huazhen hid back to his home and dared not come out again. It was not until the servants heard that reinforcements had arrived and the Jin soldiers were defeated, that Wang Huazhen hurriedly changed his clothes and came out to greet him. He still remembered his identity.

Yuan Chonghuan didn't know what happened in Jinzhou City these two days, nor did he know the conflict between Tang Feng and Wang Huazhen, but he still remembered the means of this man to frame Sun Chengzong, so he just nodded his compliment to this man and smiled coldly: "It depends on the soldiers' lives. The soldiers guarding the city will stay together for death. What's the contribution of the officials?" As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Tang Feng saw Wang Huazhen's eyes were a little unkind, so he kept his heart.

Seeing that the other party was not grateful for what he said, Wang Huazhen was secretly annoyed and thought that Tang Feng had told him about his scandal. But he was finally a person who had worked hard in the court for many years. Although he was unhappy, he still said to Yuan Chonghuan with a smile. However, he only brought reinforcements in time, but did not mention the merits of the Ming army guarding the city. Just because he knew that he could not get the merits in defending the city, why bother to let these people who were enemies of him take advantage of it? Moreover, this would cause him endless trouble, so he only brought reinforcements well.

Yuan Chonghuan quickly grasped his thoughts, but now it was the time when the whole army was full of joy, so he couldn't help but save everyone's enthusiasm. He pretended that he had not discovered anything and just led people to the city.

The Ming army cheered and walked into the city. When they heard Yuan Chonghuan's saying that he would reward the three armies tomorrow and lifted the ban on alcohol, the three armies were even more cheerful. This time, they arrived with the Ming army who came to Jinzhou, and some food, wine and silver from the border troops that the imperial court used to reward the Jinzhou army to seize Jinzhou. Although the men and horses did not come this time, Yuan Chonghuan ordered people to transport a lot of food and wine when sending troops because they were afraid that there would be shortage of food in Jinzhou City. According to their journey, by dawn the next day, the supplies could also arrive in Jinzhou City, which could be used to celebrate the merits.

Tang Feng smiled awkwardly. It seemed that his advantage as a modern person was still there. At least some words could make people shine. At this time, Yuan Chonghuan frowned and said, "But after this battle, Jianlu should not be so careless about us. They will definitely have careful deployments for the next attack, and we should be preparing for it."

Although they didn't like the Jin soldiers, they still knew that the Jin soldiers were so powerful, so they nodded after hearing this. Wu Xiang said: "The thing Jiannu is most afraid of is Grandmaster Sun. Now they must have received the news that Grandmaster Sun was transferred back to the capital, so I think they will not let it go after this defeat."

"Yes, without the general, they will shock them. Jiannu should be using troops to us. This fall of Jinzhou and the failure of the Jianlu who attacked Jinzhou will definitely make them hold a grudge and then send troops to attack our Liaodong." Wang Kai also interrupted.

"If this happens, Jinzhou will be the first to bear the brunt. We must make a long-term plan to see how Jinzhou can be solid." Yuan Chonghuan also agreed with their views. When Tang Feng heard this, he told his previous plan to send troops to various fortresses and fortresses outside Jinzhou City and asked them to help advise.

"Yes, this is indeed a good way to defend Jinzhou City. If our army could arrive in Jinzhou in time and calmly arrange troops everywhere, Jiannu's losses would have been greater. Unfortunately, there were no people in the north, otherwise we would have used the method of fighting against them in the Battle of the Muchong Fort. Even if we could not wipe them out, we would have more considerable results." Yuan Chonghuan sighed with regret.

Later, Tang Feng told the story of the Red Barbarian cannons that defended the city, and proposed that the court transport more of these sharpest weapons of this era to Liaodong, so that Liaodong would be as stable as a rock. Yuan Chonghuan had already made plans for this proposal. He had seen the power of this cannon in attacking Jinzhou with his own eyes, so of course he agreed. However, these cannons were purchased from Francs, and now there are only a dozen gates in the capital, so he really could not provide them with too many in a short period of time.

After listening to his explanation, Tang Feng's thoughts became lively. Although he didn't know how to build the firearm, if some of the ideas he mentioned could help the craftsmen of the Shenji Camp create better firearms, it would be a great asset to the Ming Dynasty. However, this just flashed through his mind. It is not realistic to say this now.

Others also expressed their own opinions on how to better defend Jinzhou City. The situation in the hall was very lively for a while. Soon after, the cavalry chasing Jin soldiers rushed back. Although they killed many defeated Jin soldiers, they could only watch more than 20,000 Jin soldiers leave.
