In this world, strange things are endless, but Li Ruhai didn't think much about it, looking at those "soldiers" who were ragged and had strange weapons in their hands, Li Ruhai said to the dozen or so soldiers around him: "This official ordered you to temporarily take over the post of representing 100 households, and each person went to lead 300 people to form a battalion, and then collected weapons, stones and other things, and first held the hillside position." ”

There was a rush on the hillside, but fortunately, there were many people in this group, and it didn't take long for the position to be arranged.

At this time, the Qing offensive began, and unlike the last time, this time it was a tentative attack.

About three or four hundred people, scattered very widely, slowly climbed up the hillside.

Li Ruhai is now stiff at the waist, he selected a thousand powerful people, threw rocks down the hillside, and selected hundreds of people who could shoot and deployed them on both sides.

The rest stayed at the back and waited for the casualties in front to make up for it.

Stones and arrows rained down on the defenders, and dozens of Qing soldiers were stoned and shot dead on the spot.

The Qing general saw that the situation was not good, and he knew from the density of stones and arrows on the hillside that he would attack again, and he was afraid that he would not be pleased, thinking that Mingchen and his party had already gone away, and it would be useless to entangle again.

So he ordered a retreat, abandoned the Three Realms and headed for the Hundred Officials.

The thunder and rain in this battle made many of the rebels feel unpleasant.

But only Li Ruhai and the surviving more than a dozen soldiers around them understood that today was a pass from the ghost gate.

It is said that if you don't die in a catastrophe, there will be a blessing in the future, and Li Ruhai was inexplicably rescued by a group of men and horses of unknown origin, and he also temporarily gained control of this army.

After cleaning up the battlefield, many of the rebels were given weapons, and their spirits immediately improved.

The appearance of this team gave Li Ruhai confidence, and in view of the old monk's request, he decided to take advantage of the retreat of the Qing army and chase Qian Sule and his party to the northwest.

……。

When he arrived at the beach, Wu Zheng was really stunned.

This is no longer the small fishing village where the more than 800 refugees who accompanied him were resettled, and not only has the number of people living here increased several times, but also the scale has increased by at least ten miles.

The Qing army invaded Shaoxing Mansion, although it had not yet gone down to various villages and towns, but the people of Shaoxing Mansion had already fled for refuge.

And the fortified city by the sea has become the first choice for the people to flee.

It's not an exaggeration to say it's already a town.

The one-foot-high city walls, which are more than ten miles high, isolate the town from the outside world.

From a military point of view, the walls of this town are as tall and strong as those of Fenghui.

"This is my handwriting, what do you think, Brother Wu?" Shen Zhiyuan, who was hanging on one arm, complacently invited merit.

The surprise on Wu Zheng's face quickly faded, and he said coldly: "I hoarded the silver in Pinggang Cottage, you must have spent a lot of money, right?" But I wondered, why didn't I get a hint of news, when did this mess bypass me and let you call the shots? ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face froze, and he replied: "Wu Zheng, you have to speak with your conscience. You promised that all the applications of Pinggang Cottage would be taken care of by Chen Sheng, Jiang Boli and me, so you don't have to report it to you? ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Did I say it?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan shouted that he was wronged, but now that Chen Sheng and Jiang Boli were not there, he couldn't find anyone to prove it.

In a hurry, Shen Zhiyuan said: "More than ten miles of city walls, it costs tens of thousands of taels, even if this money is not Xiao Lou, my Shen family can afford to make up for it, if you really feel wrong, I will ask my father to borrow money to make up for you." ”

Looking at the indignant Shen Zhiyuan, Wu Zheng laughed silently.

Yes, such a big thing, as the coach of one party, he didn't get a reward, which really made Wu Zheng feel uncomfortable, not only uncomfortable, but realized that there was a loophole in the rules in the middle.

But for Shen Zhiyuan, this little man who has played since he was a child, Wu Zheng is undoubtedly trusted.

"Shen Zhiyuan, it's time for you to be promoted to deputy commander."

"Wu Zheng, you can't ...... Uh, what do you say, deputy commander? Shen Zhiyuan suddenly went from hell to heaven, glared and exclaimed.

Wu Zheng smiled and said: "From this strong city, thousands of people are stationed, which is enough to deal with the attack of one or twenty thousand Qing troops. The key point is that it can echo with the Pinggang cottage and become horns of each other, which is enough to promote you to the next level. ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face suddenly bloomed, and he rushed forward with one arm open.

Wu Zheng was unprepared for a while, and he was stunned by his saliva.

"Bosom friend...... Bosom friend, that's what I thought, this is how I and Chen Sheng set up a plan to build a small city by the sea, the key is that the small city does not have to worry about the back, behind is the sea, the Qing army can not form a large-scale naval army in a short time, so as long as the southwest side of the city wall is built, it can resist the enemy's attack, so it can save forty percent of the city's construction needs. ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "But this city also has a drawback. ”

Shen Zhiyuan's face froze, and he asked, "Where are the drawbacks?" ”

Wu Zheng pointed to the sea and said, "If the enemy's strength is small, this city can indeed block the enemy." But once the enemy's strength is above 30,000, there is not the slightest depth in this city to turn around, and I am afraid that it will be a Jedi. ”

Shen Zhiyuan's brows tightened, and he asked after a while: "So, this money was thrown into the river?" ”

Wu Zheng patted his right shoulder and smiled: "Not necessarily. ”

"Do you have a solution?"

"Nature."

"Tell me!" Shen Zhiyuan said hurriedly.

Wu Zheng turned to face the sea and said, "Have you ever thought that if there is a strong sailor, then the sea can become our backyard, which can be advanced or retreated?" ”

Shen Zhiyuan was surprised: "You mean, form a water division?" But the Qing army is on the shore, and the infantry army should be greatly expanded at this time. ”

"No!" Wu Zheng didn't look at Shen Zhiyuan, but said firmly, "What I want to do is not just to form a naval division, but to form a navy." ”

"Navy?"

"A fleet that can sail in the depths of the ocean." Wu Zheng's eyes became deeper, "One day, this navy loaded with huge cannons can go north along the coastline, and then the foundation of the Qing court will tremble and shake in the sound of cannons." ”

Shen Zhiyuan opened his mouth and stammered.

After a while, Wu Zheng turned his head and wanted to see Shen Zhiyuan's shocked look, but he heard Shen Zhiyuan's abrupt words, "Wu Zheng, you won't talk about the matter of being promoted to deputy commander, right?" ”

Wu Zheng was furious and shouted, "Get out! ”

At this time, the court officials and their families had already boarded the ship, and Zhu Yihai came to invite with a smile on his face.

"Jing Haihou, His Royal Highness the Prison State is invited."

Wu Zheng returned the salute and said: "For such a trivial matter, sending someone to deliver the message is, why do you need to work His Royal Highness King Lu?" ”

Zhu Yihai smiled, and then stepped forward with a twist, "Jing Haihou, this king has a matter, cough...... Don't know how to open my mouth to you? ”

Wu Zheng asked strangely: "King Lu may as well say it bluntly, if Wu Zheng has something to serve, he will not shirk it." ”
