They marched north overnight.
It is hidden in a ravine at the foot of the northern mountain.
When Li Bao stationed his troops on Juehua Island
They repeatedly looted in the Liaoxi Corridor.
They've already figured out this area thoroughly.
He could even guess where the Jin soldiers would set up camp each day.
The Jin soldiers withdrew in the middle of the night.
We arrived at Xingcheng River around the afternoon.
Therefore, the Jin army's first day's encampment location,
It must be on the east or west bank of the Xingcheng River.
The Jin soldiers' encampment on the second day
Most of them are located in Huludao City in later generations.
There are two rivers there.
It all depends on which river the Jin army will cross before setting up camp.
The Jin soldiers' encampment on the third day.
It must be near Tashan.
Moreover, the journey was shorter that day.
If there is enough time, we will definitely cross the river and set up camp!
And the high ground near Tashan
Just that one small hill,
Wanyan Zongbi's command tent was definitely set up on the hill.
Wanyan Zongbi's elite cavalry,
Most likely, one will be left on the mountain.
In the event of war, it can dive in all directions.
.....
Li Heshang is not a monk.
He was a craftsman.
His ancestors for countless generations...
He was captured in the early years of the Liao Dynasty.
Together with other Han Chinese artisans and farmers,
They migrated en masse to settle in Jinzhou.
And who knows how many years have passed,
A large number of Bohai ethnic craftsmen and farmers,
They were also relocated to Jinzhou by the Liao Dynasty and multiplied there.
The political system of the Liao Dynasty in its early and middle periods was very complex.
It even allowed powerful clans to own territory.
Thus, the terms "private prefecture" and "private county" came into being.
Powerful clans could take whatever they wanted from their own territories.
It was not until the middle and later periods of the Liao Dynasty that they gradually regained some of their power.
But Jinzhou has remained unchanged.
Because it was the private prefecture of the Liao emperor.
Li Heshang's ancestors,
Craftsmen for generations
At least one person in each generation must inherit the profession.
Because the Liao emperor sent many nobles to govern Jinzhou.
The families of artisans had to take turns serving the emperor and nobles.
They manufacture various items for government officials or nobles free of charge.
The Liao Dynasty was in great chaos at the end of its reign.
Many people also died in Jinzhou.
But the Jurchens captured Yanshan Prefecture.
A large number of people migrated here.
Jinzhou quickly recovered its vitality.
But life got worse and worse.
Because the taxes and corvée labor of the Jin Dynasty were too heavy.
This time, Monk Li was even selected to accompany the army.
To build siege equipment for the Jin army.
He also heard the explosions outside the city.
The distance is too far to see clearly.
He heard from Du San, a craftsman who had accompanied him in the army, that...
The Ming army was protected by the Thunder God Bodhisattva.
Thunder and lightning struck, killing the Jin soldiers.
The fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom then withdrew overnight.
The past two days have been very stressful for everyone.
Not only was there a reason for the overnight withdrawal,
The terrain along the way is also rugged and narrow.
The queue stretched for a long distance, like a long snake.
This marching formation is extremely vulnerable to attack.
The fourth prince, Jin Wuzhu, ordered the entire army to don armor and proceed on their journey.
Chapter 3139 The Problem of Armor
Not only the front and back of the team,
Send out a large number of cavalry to scout.
They even sent elite troops to the coast to observe.
Now I can finally sleep peacefully.
Jinzhou is just ahead.
The surrounding area was flat.
Although Monk Li didn't understand warfare...
But they also knew that this place was difficult to ambush.
After a lot of work,
It's getting dark.
Monk Li was holding a bowl of wheat porridge.
Not only was the porridge very thin,
Moreover, it contained a lot of wheat bran.
He muttered, "Two meals a day, both of them watery."
"How are we supposed to travel like this?"
"It's good to be home," Du San comforted her.
These were the artisans who accompanied the army.
Traveling with a full set of tools,
You also have to put in effort when setting up camp.
I just went to the southern camp to set up a wooden fence.
Li the monk was already exhausted.
They only gave him a bowl of thin porridge and that was it.
Issue the militia's rations.
They are better than craftsmen.
And the food for the craftsmen
They are better than laborers.
Eat the best
Of course, it refers to those Mengan-Muke soldiers.
After finishing a bowl of thin porridge with wheat bran,
Monk Li still felt hungry.
He clutched his stomach, curled up, and lay down, muttering to himself:
"Go to sleep, you'll feel full after a good night's sleep."
Du San placed the box containing the tools beside him.
The strap was wrapped around his wrist several times.
Only close your eyes after clenching your fists tightly.
These are his tools for making a living.
Although I was starving
But I was just too tired.
I drifted off to sleep in a daze.
.....
Liu Sheng, however, was a militiaman appointed by Guangning Prefecture.
He belonged to the Khitan people.
The surname Liu was a prominent surname among the Khitan people.
Guangning Prefecture promoted the Meng'an Mouke system for several years.
Today, however, the Mengan Mouke system and the signing system coexist.
Last year, when grain was requisitioned, Liu Sheng had very little grain left.
His mother also died from malnutrition.
The wheat harvest just took place this year.
They hadn't even had time to hand over their grain taxes.
Liu Sheng was conscripted and sent to fight.
