After informing Li Zicheng of the location of the Fan family's several grain storage points in the Gyeonggi area, Zheng Zhilong's eyes temporarily turned to the 'interior'!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was about to rush to Jinling, did not say anything, nor did he mention the news from the North Korean side, but only said that it was Jinmen, which involved his great energy.

Zheng Zhilong didn't want to give up the Jinmen guards.

This is an excellent strategic support point, a Wei River leads directly to the Bohai Sea, not to mention ordinary flat sand boats, even large sail warships can smoothly sail in.

If there is a waterway unblocked, then there is a foundation to hold on to this place.

Another is the favorable geography of the Acropolis of Jinmen, whose city is located in the southwest of the three forks, facing the water in the west, north and east, and the south and southeast are not as fertile plains as in later generations. At this time, Jinnan and Jindong were puddles one after another, and a mud swamp was connected to a mud swamp.

Because of the low terrain, not only will the tide roll up and rush backwards when the tide is overflowing, but also the Wei River will often flood both banks once it is flooded.

There are sixty or seventy miles of land from Jinmenwei to the mouth of the Bohai Sea, but there is not too much fertile land, and this is the reason.

Zheng Zhilong was surprised when he first saw the geographical topography of the Jinmen guards on the way to the north, but he didn't expect that the gap between the current Jinmen and the Jinmen of later generations would be so big.

With such a geographical topography, when the river is not frozen, it is not too advantageous to defend against the enemy.

Even if the winter is bitterly cold, as long as there is a certain number of soldiers and horses living in the city, and there is no shortage of food, materials, and military supplies, this place can become an iron-clad bridgehead.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong had this idea in his heart - he wanted to defend this place.

In the early days, he put the nail in Denglai, but he didn't think about Jinmen at all, because it was too close to Yanjing and the location was too sensitive. But now, it's a godsend. No one in the world can find fault!

No matter when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, whether Li Zicheng could hold Yanjing City or not, it was all his enemy, right? Zheng Zhilong wants to win the world.

Therefore, it is really necessary for him to sketch a line in the Jinmen guard, as long as he can successfully nail an iron nail here, the restraining force on Yanjing will be too great. There is a feeling of Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps outside Tianjing City.

Its threatening power is far beyond the reach of Denglai.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen is gone, he is the boss in this Jinmen Acropolis. That's what you say. What's more, Feng Yuanyang, the governor who still stayed in Jinmen, raised his hands to support Zheng Zhilong's plan, and Zheng Zhilong drove a nail in the east gate of Yanjing, which was enough to contain one of Li Zicheng's arms.

As the transportation center of the Ming Dynasty, there is no shortage of food in Jinmen City, and now there is no shortage of manpower. Not to mention the original people of Jinmen City, it was the male servants and servants of the officials and nobles who fled with Emperor Chongzhen for a while, and they gathered together, and they were a labor army.

That's what Zheng Zhilong did.

He planned to completely defeat the armed forces in the hands of those dignitaries and dignitaries, and planned to build several large and small fortresses around the Acropolis of Jinmen, even the Acropolis of Jinmen itself would also be transformed to consolidate its own defense.

This is a laborious and time-consuming undertaking.

Seriously, Zheng Zhilong didn't think that the period before Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui, and Manchu Qing separated the winners and losers was enough.

Therefore, grasp every minute and every second, even the people of Jinmen are mobilized, and the grain stored in Jinmen is paid for wages, and they can get food for work. Do your best to complete Zheng Zhilong's outline!

With the Acropolis of Jinmen as the core, the triangle lake is involved to the west, the Wei River must be taken care of to the east, the South Canal must be controlled to the south, and the North Canal must be tightened to the north.

In other words, Zheng Zhilong wants to completely cut off the Grand Canal, the lifeblood of Yanjing City.

In this way, even if the Tartars enter Yanjing, they can even push all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Zhilong is stuck in Jinmen, and the grain in the south is far away, which is enough for them to be uncomfortable.

Of course, Li Zicheng is the same. If he can be really bullish and defeat Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing, maybe his life will not be easy.

In the eyeliner sent by the Shun army, after passing Yang Village, the entire Jinmen guard became a big construction site.

Zheng Zhilong seems to be making people pile up and build high earth platforms, even the Jinmen Acropolis is no exception, the schematic diagram of the reinforced city wall, it looks like an earthen platform, and rows of military rooms have to be built on it.

Li Zicheng, who had never accepted Western military theories, and other figures of the Great Shun Dynasty, were full of confusion about it. And Chen Yan, who had heard about it somewhat, was so silent that Li Zicheng didn't even ask someone to come over to negotiate.

called Zheng Zhilong is comfortable to start the 'big construction'.

There was no time to transport lime cement from the big staff, Zheng Zhilong used the old method when the Dutch built the castle of Gerancha, and appropriately reduced the sugar water, and pounded and stuck it with glutinous rice, oyster shell ash, and river sand. The trench surrounds the perimeter, and the slope earthen embankment is the foundation.

The four gates of the Acropolis of Jinmen were all changed to the Half Moon Fort, and the four corners were also connected to the diamond-shaped fortress.

Seriously, the renovation of the Acropolis of Jinmen alone is a waste of time. There are also so many fortresses outside the city, that is, the labor force in the Acropolis of Jinmen, otherwise, Zheng Zhilong's beautiful sketch in vain would be useless.

Men, women and children went into battle together, there was grain and rice both horizontally and vertically, and Zheng Zhilong relied on the rich grain storage of the Tianjin guards, which was rough and hard.

And the people inside the city, as well as the people outside the city, were overjoyed by this.

Being able to earn food so easily is a once-in-a-century thing. Only the servants of the high-ranking families are unwilling.

The food in the Acropolis of Jinmen was very cheap, and they were not unfamiliar with this kind of wages.

But their unwillingness and unwillingness were vulnerable in front of the swords and guns of the Zheng army. And none of the dignitaries behind them spoke up for them.

Because none of these individuals dared to offend Zheng Zhilong.

The latter is the master of the Tianjin Acropolis, offending Zheng Zhilong, and the people are just a gesture, so don't think about going out of the Tianjin Gate Guards in a short time.

Compared with that kind of consequence, these dignitaries naturally don't care about the servants and families under them.

Don't you look at them in order to arrive in Jinling as soon as possible, so they occupy a place in the court early, and they don't even care about the danger of taking a sea boat.

Earlier, when Emperor Chongzhen didn't leave, there were many people clamoring: The son of a daughter can't sit down. The sea is high and the waves are urgent, and there are many dangers, how can you teach the Son of Heaven to make dangers?

What now?

You don't hear anyone talk like that anymore.

……

"Uncle, rest assured, the wall of this castle is six feet thick, the foundation is paved with large green bricks, and the outer wall is covered with large green bricks, and the top and bottom are glued with slurry, which is definitely not weaker than the solid stone."

In front of Zheng Zhilong, a large number of men and women carrying baskets and pushing carts were busy back and forth along the paved road, some craftsmen were directing the men to mix the earth, and some men were working hard to build the fort wall. The scene is in full swing.

And it was Han Lin who was standing in front of Zheng Zhilong and talking, he was not in Zheng Zhilong's army in Beijing, but after Zheng Zhilong thought about the Jinmen guards, he asked someone to take him from Denglai.

Zheng Zhilong can't deny it, it should be because he doesn't know anything about the architecture of this era, and he can only rely on Han Lin and others.

He believed that Han Lin would not speak wildly, and besides, Zheng Zhilong had also witnessed the solidity of the Dutchman Geranza City.

In the words of an official of the Ministry of Industry who was recruited by Zheng Zhilong, this kind of rammed fort wall is strong and durable, and if it does not experience military disasters, it can survive for hundreds of years.

Of course, if possible, it is best to add a large amount of syrup, egg white, soy milk and other materials made of binders. But now it's not like that condition.

As a large city with a circumference of more than nine miles, it is impossible to call it new in a short period of time.

Zheng Zhilong's focus is on the city gate and city corner. And the city walls, that are all limited reinforcement. In order to ensure that the original city wall will not collapse due to the force, the city wall surface should be thickened as much as possible. And build a barracks on top of it, and set up semi-open artillery barracks. At first glance, it is still very bluffing.

In the process of building and rebuilding the fortifications inside and outside the Jinmenwei, three groups of dignitaries were also sent to Jinling. But when they were gone, many of the slaves they had brought with them from the capital were left behind in Jinmen.

Zheng Zhilong took all these people in, and the men and women all went to the construction site to work first, and then talked about other things according to their performance in the future.

Although these slaves are far above the average level of knowledge in this era. Being a domestic servant in a wealthy family is not simply a face.

I don't know the phrase 'I'd rather marry a maid than a small girl'.

But Zheng Zhilong can also be sure that all these men and women can't find a few honest ones. One by one, the three views have already coincided with their former masters, so let's talk about labor reform first.

And it was at this time that Zheng Zhibao's news was finally delivered to Zheng Zhilong, who had been mentally prepared for the failure of Shen Qiyuan's group's plan, but after watching all of Shen Qiyuan's performances, Zheng Zhilong still felt that this was a bit nonsense.

But he still agrees with Zheng Zhibao's series of moves in North Korea. The monarchs and ministers who are now in power in North Korea are not good things for him, so they should be taught a lesson.

As for Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, although a lot of news is not something that Zheng Zhilong can detect, these exchanges that are only exposed on the surface are not inferior to a big drama.

After Li Zicheng received Zheng Zhilong's news, he did not turn his face with Wu Sangui at the beginning, but continued to prepare for his enthronement ceremony.

He also continued to send eunuchs to announce that Wu Sangui would enter Beijing as soon as possible.

It was as if he was not aware of Wu Sangui's antisense at all.

As for Wu Sangui, he looked like a loyal minister to the Ming Dynasty, and his words did not involve the Manchu Qing Dynasty at all, but only said that he wanted to be loyal to the emperor and die for the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to fight Li Zicheng to the death.

Then after leading the army to defeat Bai Guangen and the second general Ma Ke in Luancheng, he also sent a letter to Zheng Zhilong, inviting him to send troops with him.

One by one, they are all possessed by the drama spirit, if it weren't for Zheng Zhiguan's envoy to inform him that Li Zicheng was coming in a steady stream of reinforcements from western Jin, and then Liu Fangliang also led the army to arrive in the capital before the enthronement ceremony began, which greatly increased the strength in Li Zicheng's hands, Zheng Zhilong still thought it was the inertia of history, so that Li Zicheng was indifferent.
