The sun hung in the air, the sun shone on the head of Ningyuan City, and the breeze could not blow the low-hanging Ming army flag. The latter hung his 'head' weakly, just like the morale of the defenders at that time.

Low, powerless, decadent!

The tens of thousands of horses gathered by Emperor Chongzhen in Ningyuan City are really a group of pigs now.

They were afraid of the Qing army and were reluctant to go out of the city at all, and Fan Zhiwan just took the will of Emperor Chongzhen to order them, but now it doesn't work. Mako's lesson is unforgettable.

It can be said that in Ningyuan City at this time, the grass and trees are all defeated, and thousands of horses are together!

Fan Zhiwan, Qiu Minyang and other civil and military officials are arguing every day, quarreling for the sake of quarrelling, otherwise, what else can they do?

But this is just fake busy, but the port in Ningyuan is really busy.

A large number of refugees were sent to the nearby island of Juehua through the port to build the city, and Shen Tingyang was responsible for the latter. But Shen Tingyang was only responsible for repairing the port and building the city.

The huge Juehua Island is the largest island in the Liaohai Sea, the two ends are wide, the middle is narrow, it is irregular gourd-shaped, it hangs alone in the sea, and the actual area is similar to the size of Zhifu Island. But there are also many mountains, especially on the east and south sides of the island. But in the northwest of the island, there is a lot of flat land.

It can be said that this island, which is very close to Ningyuan City, is still quite large after deducting the mountains. For example, the ruins of the original Tunliang City are located in the northwest of the island.

Twenty years have passed since the Battle of Juehua Island, and the city has been destroyed by Jianyu for almost twenty years. But the foundation ruins are still clearly visible.

The whole Tunliang City is rectangular, about 500 meters long from north to south, and about 250 meters wide from east to west. There is a gate on the north wall, which leads to the port outside the city, which is a passage for the transportation of grain and equipment; There are two gates on the south wall, which are connected with the 'dragon neck', which is convenient for the island to come and go, and there are no doors on the east and west walls, which is conducive to defense. There are grain hoards, stockpiles and the remains of barracks for officers and soldiers defending the city, as well as a drainage ditch running from north to south.

However, the area of such a city is only 0.125 square kilometers, covering an area of about 200 acres, which is only one percent of the total area of the whole island.

In addition to the Tunliang City, there is also a large area of usable space for large-scale construction.

Zheng Zhilong's idea is to take root on this island, that is, when the situation changes greatly in the future and the world is shaken, the Zheng family has a detachment of soldiers and horses stationed on the island, which can also make the Tartars like a fish in the throat!

Therefore, he set up a fortress around the city, and even established a foothold on Juehua Island, so he entrusted Han Lin with all these things.

The latter is a native of Jinxi, and his ancestor was Han Chong, who was known as one of the "two Shangshu of Jiangzhou" (Zeng Guan to Nanjing Ministry of Industry). But his father is not a descendant of the Han family and has not been able to reach the officialdom. Han Lin traveled to Jiangnan with his brother in his early years, and first came into contact with Western learning, although he was promoted in the examination, but when Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party was prosperous, he also rested into the officialdom. Is there his brother here? The latter is currently the prefect of Hanzhong.

Han Lin returned home and started a private school. Later, he was introduced by the missionary Gao Yizhi, accepted the Catholic Church, and became the first person to receive the rites in Jiangzhou, and has developed more than 200 followers in more than ten years.

This person has been teaching and educating people for 20 years, if he is just a Confucian student, it is ten times more than a cow, and he is not in the eyes of Zheng Zhilong. But Han Lin is a rare person in this era who has learned both Chinese and Western. He has studied firearms, city building, and agriculture, and is the author of "The Complete Book of Famine Relief", "The Illustration of the Fort", "The Spectrum of Artifacts", and "The Complete Book of Guarding the Garden".

In particular, the "Shou Yuan Quanshu" was an extremely important military work in the late Ming Dynasty.

It's just that this book was rarely printed, and it was later banned and destroyed by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and it was almost lost in later generations. No one has studied this work in depth. If it weren't for the explosion of information in the future, "Shou Yuan Quanshu" may be very little known.

In short, this old man Han is proficient in the fortress. At least in today's China, that's already the number one.

After Zheng Zhilong made up his mind to go north, he thought of the problem of building a fortress on Juehua Island, originally to find a few foreigners in Macao, but someone recommended Xu Guangqi's nephew Chen Yujie to him. Although the latter was not proud of his studies, he had made great achievements in astronomy and military affairs because he had studied Western studies with Xu Guangqi since he was a child. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by Shi Kefa to become the doctor of Jinling Qintianjian. But that's an idle job!

It was also Chen Yujie who recommended Han Lin to Zheng Zhilong. talked about his masterpiece "Shou Yuan Quanshu".

Not to mention, Zheng Zhilong has no impression of the name Han Lin, but he still has some memory of "Shou Yu Quanshu". It's from a novel.,Because he can't read the word 圉 (yu).,He also asked Xia Du Niang at the beginning.。

On the current Juehua Island, Shen Tingyang wants to build a grain city and reorganize the port wharf, while Han Lin wants to build a number of fortresses of different sizes, even if this fortress is just a not very perfect fortress. Because Zheng Zhilong remembers very clearly, the fortress was only completely perfected by Colmontine in 1740.

But even so, the four-sided protruding artillery forts with crossfire and strong defenses also reflected the advantages of the fortress building.

In addition to the main buildings in the northwest of the island, the bastions will also appear in the central part of the island and the west side of the south, and these buildings will require a lot of manpower and material resources.

The fault is not that Zheng Zhilong bears the bulk of the money and food for the construction of the city, and such a huge measure is not something that the current Ming Court can afford at all.

But in the same way, the issue of the ownership of Juehua Island in the future is self-evident.

Zheng Zhilong used the construction of Juehua Island to show his attitude to Beijing City-that it was to be nailed to the Liaohai Sea. In exchange for the ownership of Juehua Island, and even some potential interests of the Zheng family in Denglai.

It's all a secret deal, and it can't be put on the table. It's not something that these ignorant people at the docks can know and understand.

Their greatest wish is to be able to get a bite to eat, so that they don't care about the future belonging of Huadao.

But today, everyone present is destined to have fresh conversations, and they are very lucky to meet Zheng Zhilong's Clippers!

"Great victory, great victory. Zheng Dashuai regained Yaozhou, beheaded the city and guarded Niu Luzhang, Jingtu'an, and the following 500 people, leveled Yaozhou, captured the army and civilians and returned ......"

"Great victory, great victory. Zheng Dashuai Kefu Yaozhou ......"

Everyone at the port terminal was stunned. Great victory, can there still be a great victory outside this pass? Aren't they all defeats? Moreover, where is Yaozhou?

Many low-level people don't know where Yaozhou is sacred.

But that doesn't stop them from cheering and shouting, and it doesn't stop them from getting in high spirits. They don't know Yaozhou, they know Niu Lu Zhangjing, they know the number five hundred!

When baskets of human heads were piled up on the dock, and when the transferred carriage pulled baskets of human heads into Ningyuan City, the soldiers and civilians of the entire city were all sensational, excited, and crazy......

In Ningyuan City, Qiu Min Yangzheng was helplessly writing a chapter. No matter how eager the capital is, the soldiers and horses can't move, what can they do?

Although the most pressure is Fan Zhiwan, as the governor of Liaodong, the weight on his shoulders is not small. In particular, he had to reach out to the court to ask for money and food. In this way, it is really embarrassing for people to be ashamed.

Just when he was upset, there seemed to be a shout outside the house, and Qiu Minyang threw down his pen angrily, "What's so noisy?" ”

Ningyuan City is an important place for soldiers and soldiers, and it cannot tolerate the presumptuous people of the small people.

"Sir, sir. Great joy, great joy. Zheng Dashuai sent someone to report the victory, saying that he had recovered Yaozhou, razed Yaozhou City, and cut off hundreds of Tartars......" This Chang Sui also said with a smile on his face.

"What?"

The sudden and huge surprise made Qiu Minyang feel dizzy in an instant. It's like the person who can't eat meat all year round and is stunned by the smell of meat.

"Where's the guy?"

"Master, that person is going to supervise Fan ......" Fan Zhiwan is the biggest boss outside the Guan, in charge of the military. How could Zheng Zhilong come to Qiu Minyang, who was in charge of the salary? That long follower thinks that his master has not been ...... recently? Confused?

"Prepare the horses!" Qiu Minyang didn't want to wait for a moment, and he couldn't wait to take a step to go to the public office.
