Just as Daishan was driving the Han people to attack the city, something suddenly changed on the city tower.
A large number of Jurchen people in Jurchen costumes were pressed onto the city wall, and their knives were placed on their necks.
This sudden change caused Daishan to stop his attack.
At this moment, he could clearly see that those who were pressed up the city tower were their clansmen.
Only then did he remember that he had many prisoners of war in Zhu Heng's hands.
Moreover, there were thousands of tribesmen living in Guang Ning City before.
Now, they were all in Zhu Heng's hands.
Zhu Heng's meaning was very obvious now. He wanted to give him a taste of his own medicine.
If you dared to drive the Han people to attack the city, then he would dare to directly kill these Jurchen.
The Slave Jian soldiers in front looked at each other in dismay, not knowing what to do.
Huang Taiji, who was not far away, saw the frontline troops stop and immediately asked,"What happened up ahead? Why did you stop attacking?"
At this moment, a man rode his horse over. He immediately dismounted and knelt down, saying,"Khagan, the thief general Zhu Heng has escorted a large number of our Jurchen clansmen to the top of the city wall. He has also announced that if anyone dares to drive the Han people to attack the city, he will kill all five thousand Jurchen clansmen in the city.”
"What is it? The thief is actually so despicable!"
Huang Taiji was furious and anxious.
He directly cursed Zhu Heng for being despicable and shameless.
These were 5,000 clansmen. How could he sit idly by?
If he continued to give the order to attack the city, it would chill the hearts of all soldiers.
Because once they were captured, they would also end up like this. How could they fight for him with all their might?
The human heart was like this. He, Huang Taiji, couldn't ignore it, and he had to.
Fan Wencheng was also frowning. He had not expected Zhu Heng to have so many Jurchen clansmen in his hands.
This really put them in a difficult position.
Dorgon could see Huang Taiji's difficulties and immediately stood up.
"Khagan, perhaps we can discuss with Zhu Heng in the city and exchange all of our clansmen.”
The size of the Jurchen and the Han people could not be compared at all.
A total of five thousand people, and most of them were prisoners of war, this was not a small number.
After all, there were only 300,000 of them.
Even if he killed all 100,000 Han civilians, it was not worth it.
There were more than 50 million Han Chinese in the Ming Dynasty.
The loss of 100,000 Han civilians was nothing.
However, if he lost these 5,000 people, it would be painful enough.
After all, the two sides were not on the same level.
At this moment, Zhu Heng shouted again, proposing to use the 5800 Jurchen clansmen in his hands to exchange for the 100,000 civilians he had plundered.
This suggestion was made by Zhu Heng after careful consideration.
First of all, if this group of people entered Houjin, it would provide them with powerful productivity.
This would increase Hou Jin's strength.
Other than that, he also considered the future.
The total population of Liaodong was only a few hundred thousand, and most of them were concentrated in Guan Ningjin.
The entire population of Guangning Wei was less than 20,000 people. Now, they were all settled in Guangning City by Zhu Heng.
A mere population of 20,000 was not enough to develop the entire Liaoxi.
If he exchanged the 100,000 people that Huang Taiji had captured.
Then, the population needed to develop the industrial and commercial agriculture in western Liaoning would be enough.
It was also because of this consideration that he made this decision.
It was just 5,000 Jurchen, so what if they were replaced?
According to his current development speed, he would definitely pacify the entire Liaodong in less than a year.
At that time, all the Jurchen clansmen would be able to get as many as they wanted, and they would all be pulled to mine and shoot at the target.
Moreover, if Huang Taiji was desperate and really drove the 100,000 people to attack the city, it would be impossible.
What should he do then?
If he gave the order to shoot these 100,000 civilians, he would have no place in the entire Ming Dynasty.
This would also become a big black spot for him unless he withdrew from Guang Ning City and gave it up.
Therefore, this hidden danger had to be resolved.
Only after they were dealt with would they not be restricted in their subsequent counterattack plans.
The main question now was whether Huang Taiji would make this exchange.
When Huang Taiji heard this suggestion, he immediately rebuked,"Absolutely impossible. Using five thousand clansmen to exchange for more than a hundred thousand Han civilians is impossible, but we can consider a one-to-one exchange.”
But at this time, Fan Wencheng stood up again.
"Khagan, this servant feels that this is a better business deal.”
Fan Wencheng's 'servant' was quite fluent.
Huang Taiji's furious gaze instantly landed on him, causing Fan Wencheng to shiver.
"Khagan, this might be a good opportunity for us to break into Guang Ning City."”
"Speak!"
Huang Taiji said coldly.
If Fan Wencheng couldn't say anything, the sword in his hand would probably chop his neck.
"Khagan, although the walls of Guang Ning City are thick, the population it can accommodate is limited.”
"Firstly, the sudden increase of 100,000 people will definitely cause chaos in the city. After all, it is not an easy matter to arrange 100,000 people in the city.”
"Secondly, the sudden increase of 100,000 mouths will consume a lot of food in the city.”
"As long as we surround it for a long time, this Grand Peace City will fall on its own.”
"Thirdly, we can place our spies among these Han people. This way, we can figure out the details of the situation in Guang Ning City.”
"Moreover, at the critical moment, these spies can also act as our spies to break through Guang Ning City.”
"After all, opening it from the inside is much easier than opening it from the outside.”
"There are only 100,000 Han people. Our Hou Jin army can enter the pass at any time and plunder a million people.”
"Besides, when we break through Guang Ning City, will these 100,000 people soon return to the Khagan's hands?”
"We can even create a plague among these 100,000 people and let them bring it into the city.”
"Perhaps if we didn't attack, Guang Ning City would have fallen.”
Huang Taiji's eyes lit up.
He was just blinded by anger and did not think of this.
Fan Wencheng's words made sense to him.
As expected, he had to use an honest person to deal with an honest person. In terms of ruthlessness, he was not inferior to him.
"Just do as Mr. Fan says. I'll give these 100,000 people to Zhu Heng. I want to see how he takes over.”
It had to be said that if Fan Wencheng hadn't encountered Zhu Heng, who was cheating, this plan would have been a success.
The possibility of them succeeding was still very high.
