If Fuzhou and Jinzhou are included, the Ming army has almost occupied the three guards in southern Liaoning, leaving only Haizhou Guard.
Of course, Fuzhou and Gaizhou only occupied the Acropolis, and the surrounding villages and towns had not yet completely fallen into the hands of the Ming army.
Despite this, He Zan completed the task relatively easily, and the Liu brothers played a huge role in leading the way and persuading the surrender.
Under the brutal rule of the Jiannu, the people were certainly eager for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming army's continuous victories and the changing situation also had an indispensable impact on the Liao people's motivation.
He Zan stood on the top of the city wall, watching the Liao people coming out of the west gate, carrying their families, pushing carts and carrying loads, and heading west.
To the west was Lianyun Island, very close to Gaizhou City Wall and separated from the mainland by only a narrow sea. According to the plan, the liberated Liao people would leave by boat and head for Lüda.
To be precise, it is not enough to resettle Liao people in Lüda. It should be the entire Jinzhou, and parts of Fuzhou, mainly Changsheng Island and Xizhong Island.
The defense line originally located at Nanguan Island will be advanced to Xinjin, Luanguguan and Hongzuibao.
The hundreds of thousands of Liao people will not only be the main force in farming and production, but will also provide tens of thousands of soldiers for the Ming army.
Others may regard them as a burden, but Zhu Youxiao will do his best to protect them and regard them as the main force to suppress the Jiannu and develop the Northeast.
"After all the people have moved away, our army will withdraw from Gaizhouwei and establish a defense line on the south bank of the Qing River." He Zan retracted his gaze and said to Liu Xingzuo, "If the Jiannu move out from Liaoshen, I'm afraid our army alone will not be able to hold Gaizhouwei."
Liu Xingzuo's eyes swept over the somewhat mottled and damaged city walls, and he nodded in agreement. "Gaizhouwei has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is indeed not suitable for holding. It is better to leave an empty city to the Jiannu. I guess the Jiannu will not send troops to guard it, so it will still be ours."
His mentality had stabilized, and Liu Xingzuo was basically certain that not only were he and his relatives not in danger of life, but he was also likely to be valued beyond his imagination.
Occupying Fuzhou and Gaizhou, rescuing hundreds of thousands of Liao people, and possibly inflicting heavy damage on Daishan's two red flags, this was a great achievement.
However, Liu Xingzuo did not know that the Ming army had advanced into Guangning and attacked Khorchin, and that the Dongjiang headquarters had occupied Zhenjiang and launched attacks from all directions, putting the Later Jin into a very passive position.
