Just when Zheng Xi was looking forward to the relief of the siege by a large army from Nanjing, there was a fierce controversy within Nanjing.

At this time, there are still a lot of ice floes on the Yangtze River, and even if the wooden ships sail in the ice floes, they may damage the hull and cause shipwreck, and the transportation capacity of the frozen Yangtze River is not as good as when it thawed. According to the messenger who had managed to cross the river, the Qing army had deployed at least 10,000 troops along the Yangtze River, and even at the risk of losing ships and numbers, the limited capacity of the ice floes made it much more difficult for the Zheng army to gain a foothold in the north of the Yangtze River.

Fierce arguments broke out between the two factions in Nanjing over the lifting of the siege, one faction led by Feng Xifan, who resolutely opposed the rescue of Yangzhou. The other faction, led by Zhang Huangyan, demanded that even if it cost a huge price, it would go north to rescue Yangzhou.

As a famous historical city in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Zhang Huangyan came up with a feasible plan with a sturdy "dry goods" after soaking in the "library": on the surface of the Yangtze River, he dragged cannons and rockets loaded with fire oil to forcibly "warm" the water of the Yangtze River. Taking advantage of the moment when the ice floe broke and melted in a short period of time, he used a boat loaded with iron sheets to force the Yangtze River. In this way, although there will still be ships sunk or injured, it is also a helpless move, not to mention, Zheng Jun is all good in the water, and the vast majority of people can survive.

However, the disadvantage of this plan is that it is impossible to transport firearms troops to Jiangbei, but according to Zhang Huangyan's understanding, as long as it can attract some troops from Yangzhou City to the riverside, it can at least rescue Zheng Zheng.

"Your Royal Highness, Yangzhou is the gateway to Nanjing, Yangzhou is lost, Dongyu will no longer have to worry about the future, repair ten days and a half months, you can find a place to cross the Yangtze River on the thousands of miles. Even if there are many gunboats in our army, but in the thousands of years of history of China, how can there be a long-term rule by rowing the river? Guarding the river must guard the Huai, now don't talk about the Huai River, Jiangbei can't hold it... Minister, I am worried about Your Highness! ”

After Zhang Huangyan finished speaking, he bowed to Zhu Chenggong.

Without waiting for Zhu Chenggong to react, a clerk who had hung up his post came out to oppose Zhang Huangyan's words: "Zhang Shangshu is worthy of being a general, you can be foolish, our army has no advantage of ships and artillery, and the army does not have an advantage, I am afraid that it will only let the soldiers die in vain, Yangzhou City is broken, it does not mean that Hou Ye cannot come out, Hou Ye can still withdraw from Yangzhou with the army to fight guerrillas..."

Are you kidding!

Zhang Huangyan knows very well who is behind this little ant, but is his opponent's level so poor?

Even the myth of guerrilla warfare is so loudly spoken?

It is true that in later generations, guerrilla warfare in China, the Soviet Union, Yugoslavia, and other countries achieved considerable results, but this was based on the premise that the troops could fight independently with one or two hundred or even dozens of people, and in this era when the main battle was fought in formation, and tens of thousands of people were not as good as a battalion in later generations, the tactics of the skirmish line were mostly sent to death. What's more, Zhang Huangyan was not confident that Zheng Xi's troops could receive the same enthusiastic support from the people as the Eighth Route Army. There is even less confidence that these troops will be able to maintain a basically intact command structure in the midst of retreat...

In short, the white-faced scribe in front of him... It's just a mentally handicapped child!

Zhang Huang said "hehe" twice, too lazy to reply. No matter how confused Zhu Chenggong is, he will not believe such nonsense as guerrilla warfare.

"What P words!"

Huang Zhao's eyes were about to erupt with fire, and if there was a small table in front of him, Huang Zhao had the confidence to directly split it into pieces with his bare hands.

"Do you know that once the army is scattered and the banner and drum are lost, how can you mobilize the troops? Our army has lost its command and is scattered, and the enemy's golden drum and banner are as complete as an arm's finger, isn't this a tiger chasing a flock of sheep? ”

"What's more, our army is considered a guest soldier in Yangzhou, how much can the people support us? Isn't it who comes, who will work for the army? Even Yangzhou City can't be defended, and the Yangtze River can't be crossed, isn't this going to fall into the hands of the Marquis and the Tartars? Isn't it to hurt His Highness's brotherhood? ”

Huang Zhao's speech was more like a literati than his martial identity, posing a bunch of big truths, standing on the moral high ground and looking down at each other proudly. Seeing Huang Zhao pointing at the country with his stomach straight, Feng Xifan really wanted to say: "Standing on the moral high ground, aren't you afraid of the cold?" ”

Huang Zhao returned to the column, and several middle-level military attachés immediately came out to mend their swords, and the reason why they asked for Bao Zheng to attack was not only the judgment of the overall situation, but also the fear of their own crisis. The battle at sea is far more fierce than on land, and if you are not careful, your fleet may be divided up. Xu Xinsu, Zhu Cailao, Li Kuiqi, Liu Xiang... For Zheng Jun this history of decades ago, even illiterate people knew that the Zheng family only relied on the support of the government at that time, and now, the Zheng family itself is the largest government in the southeast half. If Zhu Chenggong's classmate didn't even save his younger brother directly, maybe our little minions would become outcasts after crossing the river in the east, right?

You Feng Xifan want to kill Zheng Xi, we don't know what you are doing, but if you want to kill the monkey and show the chicken, we have to peck you to death!

The two factions in the main hall chattered and quarreled, sometimes mixed with shouting and scolding. If it weren't for the prohibition of bringing knives to the palace, a few angry generals would have given a white knife to the opposite side and a red knife to come out.

Zhu Chenggong didn't say a word, just sat on the throne and watched the scenery.

Historically, two years later, Huang Zhao, Xiao Gongchen Group, who supported Zheng Zheng, and Feng Xifan, Chen Yonghua, Zhou Quanbin and others, who supported Zhu Chenggong's eldest son Zheng Jing, had a fire merger, and in the end, Zheng Jing Group won the victory and seized Taiwan.

Even though history has shifted for more than half a year, the contradictions between these two groups of people have not been reduced, but have manifested themselves in advance than in history.

However, even if Zhu Youlang returns to the afterlife, it is impossible for him to die again in 1662, so Zhu Chenggong may not die so early. As a big butterfly in Chinese history, Zhu Youlang fluttered vigorously, once again influencing the historical line thousands of miles away.

Of course, Zhu Youlang didn't know anything about it. At this time, he was in the workshop belonging to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and he was visiting a machine that he had seen countless times in later history books and test papers.

"Your Majesty, this is a multi-spinning machine improved by the clever hands of the weavers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs..."

Looking at the spinning wheel with a wheel in front of him, Zhu Youlang showed a surprised expression: "Isn't this a Jenny machine?" ”

In 1733, the shuttle was invented, which greatly accelerated the weaving speed; The increase in weaving speed greatly promoted the demand for cotton yarn in the textile industry, which led to the birth of the Jenny machine.

"Could it be that the shuttle was also invented?"

Zhu Youlang asked the inventor to reward him with an ingot, and then he was in a hurry to see the shuttle. The shuttle and the Jenny machine are complementary things, if there is no shuttle, no matter how much yarn the Jenny machine spins, it can only slowly wet and rot.

When he arrived at the weaving workshop, Zhu Youlang still saw two people surrounding a loom, and he didn't see any trace of improvement. "Looks like it's still using that antique-like stuff here."

Seeing this, the accompanying engineer hurriedly pulled the eunuch's cuffs, but was thrown away forcefully--- tell you what the emperor thinks in front of the emperor, isn't this looking for death?"

"Bring me paper and charcoal."

Zhu Youlang picked up a charcoal pencil and drew a simple shuttle structure on paper: springs on both sides and small metal wheels in the middle. The shuttle travels back and forth on both sides of the chute, which not only allows two people to weave the cloth into one person, but also widens the width and weaving speed of the cloth.

"This spring on both sides is made of bronze, and the next time I come here, I want to see this thing used for weaving." After speaking, Zhu Youlang ordered his subordinates to throw down fifty taels of silver. "If I can do it, I will have another reward, and if I don't, you should save it."
