Just when the big guy sensed that something was wrong, the county magistrate who was a scholar pretending to be a robber suddenly spoke, and the big guy was startled as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhang Huangyan Zhang Daxian said loudly: "Folks, this official tells you a good news, the Ming Dynasty is back!" ”

What does it mean that the Ming Dynasty is back? Still leaving?

The fathers and villagers of Juehua Island, whose faces were tanned by one or two hundred people, were all stunned and looked at Zhang Huangyan in a daze.

Zhang Huangyan is a "pro-people official", so he tried his best to pretend to be pro-people, and said kindly: "This official is Zhang Huangyan, the new county magistrate of Juehua County!" ”

Juehua County County Order...... The fathers and elders of Juehua Island were still stunned, not stunned, but stunned!

Not only is the Ming Dynasty back, but I don't plan to leave like this! also set up a county on Juehua Island, and even the county order was established...... What can I do? Could it be that the peaceful days are over? I knew that I shouldn't have stayed on the island, I should have gone to Ningyuan City to move west with the Wu family!

Zhang Huangyan looked at the big guys like wooden people, just standing there stupidly, and he didn't know how to cheer - the Ming Dynasty is back, such good news, aren't you happy? Are you worried that the governance of the Ming court on Juehua Island will not last long?

Thinking of this, Zhang Huangyan decided to surprise the big guy again.

"Folks, you can rest assured that since Daming is back, he will not leave again. The imperial court not only set up Juehua County, but also set up the Governor Liaodong Military Affairs Yamen and the Liaodong Governor Yamen! I will also move to Juehua County in the future! ”

It's over, it's over...... The people of Juehua Island were so frightened that their legs went limp. The Ming Dynasty actually set up the Governor Liaodong Military Affairs Yamen and the Governor Yamen, and they had to move to Juehua Island - this is because they are afraid that the Qing Dynasty will not be too lazy to attack Juehua Island, so they have to set up two hateful targets? Is there still a way for everyone to survive now?

Zhang Huangyan saw that the people were about to cry when they were moved one by one, so he decided to add some more material, raised his voice, and said loudly: "Since this official has come to Juehua Island, he will live and die together with you, even if he is broken, he will not let Dongyu take Juehua Island back!" ”

Yes! I'm going to be crushed...... The people of Juehua Island were scared and cried!

They're done! Juehua Island is going to become the front line of the bloody battle of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and when the sea freezes in winter, the Qing soldiers will come, and then everyone will have only a dead end.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The people wept bitterly, but Zhang Huangyan was a little relieved, the people were obviously moved by his good county order to live with the people!

"Don't cry, don't cry......" Zhang Huangyan comforted, "This official knows that you have been suffering for a long time, but your hard days have come to an end!" Now that the prince of the Ming Dynasty is raising the army, the politics are refreshed, and the top and bottom are the same morality, and there is already a Zhongxing atmosphere, so he will never give up Juehua Island, the stronghold of the counterattack in Liaodong, you can rest assured! ”

Can you rest assured? Is it safe to die? The cries of the people became louder, which made Zhang Huangyan confused.

What does that mean? Although you are one of the few good county magistrates in the world, you don't have to be moved like this!

"Alright, alright, stop crying! Don't cry...... Cry again, Lao Tzu, he's not welcome! Yu Daren exhaled at this time, he had been at the grassroots level for a long time, and he was still on the front line, of course he knew why a group of ordinary people were crying like tears.

He comforted with a straight face: "What are you crying about? With this official and your Zhang Xianzun here, can Juehua Island still be lost? And now it's only April, and there are still six months for him to cry on the frozen sea, so he still stays to help the court repair the city wall! When the walls are repaired, you will have a way to live!

If you don't work in vain, you will be fed to your heart's content, and each person will be given three liters of white flour a day...... Whoever dares not to come to work will be dealt with according to the captivity! ”

Yu Daren is a military attaché, with a helmet and armor, and a beard with sideburns, he looks very murderous, and now when he is angry, he shocks a group of people who are crying and grabbing the ground, and no one is crying.

Seeing that the people were no longer crying, Yu Daren said calmly: "All the big men have cut their braids for me!" Whoever doesn't cut it, then cut off the head! ”

And cut the braids! The people of Juehua Island are so bitter in their hearts! Braids are proof of the obedience of the Qing Dynasty! If it is cut, the Qing Dynasty will come back in the future, but there will be no way to live! But if you don't cut it, your head will be gone immediately......

Yu Daren did not allow them to delay, and at that time, a soldier with a dagger stepped forward and cut off the braid on the back of the heads of all the men.

Seeing that the people were very cooperative, Yu Daren nodded with satisfaction and took out a handful of silver coins - this is the "half tael coin" issued by the Yanshang Bank, which is also called "silver yuan" because it is made into a circle. This kind of half-tael silver yuan has just been put into production, and the output is not much, and all of them have been given to the new army to "try", that is, to pay military salaries.

Zhu Cihong's current "divisional army" in the new army has been expanded to six divisions and 15 regiments, and the total number of troops is close to 100,000 people. About half of them enlisted in the army before Zhu Cihong subdued Shi Kefa, and they all divided the land in Nanzhili, which was Zhu Cihong's core strength. Through them, Zhu Cihong was not only able to firmly control the divisions and armies, but also to firmly control the Zhuwei army - your army has a total of Denglai Seven Guards, Runing Five Guards, Anqing One Guard, Jianyang One Guard (Taiping Mansion), Hukou One Guard, Fengyang Eight Guards and One Battalion, and a total of 23 Xieyou and one battalion of the Zhuwei New Army that can be dispatched. Among them, the middle and high-ranking officers are all Zhu Cihong's "Yuan Cong Group".

And in order to pay the 100,000 people of the New Army, the backbone of the 1,000-strong Guards, and the 20,000 officers and soldiers of the Navy, Zhu Cihong's imperial court now has to spend more than 500,000 taels of silver every month. Converted into half two silver yuan, nearly 1.1 million pieces! Of course, Yanshang Bank does not have such production, and the current monthly output is tens of thousands.

Yu Daren checked the silver yuan in his hand, and asked with a smile: "How many silver yuan are here, which were just made by Yanshang Bank, and one piece weighs half a tael." If any of you can tell Lao Tzu if there are any Tartars on the island, and where there are ships that can go to the western shore of Liao, the silver will belong to whom! ”

The area of Juehua Island is not small, about twelve or thirteen square kilometers, and the terrain is quite complicated, most of the land is covered by hills and forests. If there is no one to lead the way, just rely on Yu Daren's subordinates, and they can't be searched for three or five days.

In addition, there are fishermen and fishing boats on Juehua Island, and they must be controlled as soon as possible, lest anyone send a message to the Qing army on the western shore of Liaoning. Juehua Island is only a dozen miles away from the coast of western Liaoning, and a large group of Qing troops cannot pass, and there is still a possibility of small groups smuggling.

Therefore, Yu Daren wanted to block Juehua Island and gain a little more time to build a simple fortress close to the coast on the island - this kind of building can actually be complicated or simple, and it is not necessarily very tall.

In fact, the bastion simply changes the castle from a convex polygon to a concave polygon, so that attacking any point in the castle will expose the attacker to more than one fort surface, and the defender can use crossfire to perform multiple strikes, thus greatly increasing the difficulty of the attack.

In addition, in order to effectively resist shelling, the walls of the bastion will also be built with a slope to increase the chance of firing cannonballs and the thickness of the wall (under the same amount of work, the inclined wall is thicker than the flat wall). At the same time, the height of the bastion walls is generally lower than that of traditional walls to reduce the chance of being hit by cannonballs, although the low walls are not easy to defend compared to the tall walls, but the crossfire provided by the concave polygonal walls can compensate for this disadvantage.

Therefore, a simple fortress made of earth and sandbags is difficult to break through by the enemy as long as the defenders have enough firepower and their willpower is not too weak. Unless the attacking side has sufficient knowledge of mathematics and engineering to find a dead spot for the bastion to place artillery.
