Chapter 81: Seven Tricks

After the people landed in the city, Huang Daping completely stopped. The Qing army's uniforms that were transformed by Guo Xing'a are colorful in Huang Daping's eyes, and the people's costumes are also varied, and Huang Daping will really not be able to tell the difference for a while. So in the eyes of the Taiping army, the Qing army played another ambush, and the Qing army in the city was nearly 10,000 people.

Huang Daping sat in the military tent and pulled his hair in pain, he couldn't understand the tactics of the Qing army at all, for fear of falling into the trap of the Qing army again. In the first battle just now, Huang Daping gave up fifty baits, intending to catch the Qing army by surprise, but he didn't expect the Qing army to give up a bigger bait and catch him off guard. Now that tens of thousands of Qing troops have suddenly appeared in the city, Huang Daping is a little at a loss.

"Since there is such a big advantage in troops, why don't the Qing army go out of the city? What is the intention of so many Qing troops to appear on the shore of Taihu Lake? ”

Huang Daping ruffled his hair and fell into deep pain, the behavior of the Qing army did not conform to common sense except for the initial ambush. Miao Hansheng recognized Mu Shun, he knew that the person who ambushed him in Wengcheng was Guo Xing'a, but Guo Xing'a only killed a few hundred people, where did the remaining thousands come from?

Guo Xing'a was also in pain, and Huang Daping was squatting outside the city, going out to kill him. can continue to consume, Huang Daping will definitely hook people. If Li Xiucheng seduced the big bosses of Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, Guoxing Azhen didn't know that it would be time to run in that direction.

However, Guo Xing'a can still have fun in bitterness, and since Huang Daping has stopped, Guo Xing'a can drink tea more leisurely and tease his sisters. There is wine today and drunk today, tomorrow is sorrowful and tomorrow is worried, let's be happy first! Anyway, for a while, Huang Daping couldn't storm the city to bite people, afraid of what he would do.

The annoying thing is that Heeju shoots the white man who found a reason to live because the white man wants to escape. This white man is also a character, and two twenty-pound chains didn't lock him. After only a day's work, he opened the lock and prepared to open it, but he was killed by Xishou with one shot.

Guo Xing'a, who knew the news, almost killed Xishou directly, this technician died, who will cast the Napoleonic cannon? But the joy of longevity is full of words. According to Xishou, this cannon really has no technical content, and the process of casting cannons by the Qing army is similar. And this white man is also holding a parameter table to draw cats and tigers, and he has no special secret skills. Several soldiers who had learned blacksmith work in the sappers, seeing that the white man had done a day's work, said that they were fine.

Of course, Guo Xing'a, who had no choice, was reluctant to kill Xishou, and even if he killed Xishou, it would be useless, so he had to order Xishou to cast the cannon within five days. When the time comes, if you can't do it again, then settle the new accounts and old accounts together! Among the several major features of the Napoleon gun, there is that the casting and use are extremely simple, and it can be done with a complete set of abrasives and the parameter table of the system. Xishou is also full of confidence, so that Guo Xing'a waited for good news, and went to work with a vote of sappers. A furnace was built in the inner urn city, and the old copper cannons at the head of the city and the copper ingots brought by the convoy began to be smelted.

"There are also a few blacksmiths and silversmiths in the town, maybe they can help, but adults will see ......," said Yu Wendao, who had come alone to discuss defense with Guoxing'a.

"It's good that those sappers are all halfway monks, and some of the masters are also good. However, Mr. Yu, the important weapon of the country is involved, and the master who participated in the casting of the cannon will have to accompany the army in the future. "It's also because the Napoleonic cannon is simple, Guo Xinga has to guard against it, he doesn't want everyone in the land south of the Yangtze River to build a Napoleon cannon in three or two months.

"My lord? This ...... with the army" Yu Wendao regretted it a little.

"Mr. Yu, don't get me wrong, there is no intention of extinguishing the mouth, the casting and maintenance of artillery all need people, and I need them. I want them to join the army, and they will have a future in the future. The words "official body" and "future" were extremely tempting to the ancient people.

"Oh! But it is Wendao who spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Yu Wendao apologized to Guo Xing'a.

"I'm going to have to worry about Mr. Yu!" Guo Xinga also returned the salute.

"Since I am in the army, I can't get old and have a family, so I'm going to find a few young and undragged people to work for adults." Yu Wendao got up to leave.

"Mr. Yu, be sure to make it clear with them, you have to be voluntary!" Guo Xinga added hypocritically.

"Your Excellency has a heart!" Yu Wendao bowed and retreated.

After an hour or two, six or seven young men came to the city to report, all of them craftsmen who had gone out of school. Xishou incorporated them all into the engineer company, briefly talked about the rules of the army, and directly started to help cast cannons. The craftsmanship of these people is good, much higher than these sappers who have become monks halfway, and the progress of casting cannons is much faster.

After lunch, Guo Xing'a arranged the afternoon schedule, first taking a nap in Minnie's arms, and then playing with the sisters for an afternoon with the little bees. It's a pity that as soon as he lay down, Fuquan went in to report back, Yu Wendao came again, and Guo Xing'a, who was quite disappointed, still met Yu Wendao patiently.

"In the afternoon, I cleaned up the ancestral hall and found this half-page map under the shrine, which looked like it was burned and unfinished. After a brief prologue, Yu Wendao took out a map from his bosom that had been burned by a third.

Looking at the map, Guo Xing'a was full of emotion for a while, and finally knew where he was. It was not that the Qing army did not have maps, on the contrary, the Guoxing Asuo Department surveyed and mapped very detailed topographic maps, and the mountains, rivers, ditches, and bumps and hurdles everywhere the Qing army went. But this map has an origin, that is, the deserted village where Goxinga is stationed, and all the places are numbered without names. It's funny but true, Goxinga is very aware of the surrounding terrain, but he doesn't know where he is. Guo Xing'a once tried to analyze his location with the Jiangnan camp as the central point, but the Jiangnan camp was even dozens of miles away, and there was not even a place name, and Guo Xing'a was also confused after analyzing it for a long time. There was no map issued at the level of the Qing army's leader, so Guo Xing'a simply followed his feelings. Anyway, for a battle of this scale in Goxinga, place names and the like don't make much sense. Tricks such as attacking the enemy and saving him, Goxinga's troops can't afford to play it.

Most of the maps found by Yu Wendao should be the maps used by the Taiping Army. When the Qing army raided, the Taiping soldiers were in chaos, and although they thought of burning the map, they did not burn out, and were blown into the corner by the wind.

"Mr. Yu, where is this little Nanjing?" Guo Xing'a spread the map on the table and searched carefully.

"My lord, the name of this town is Qiqiao Town, but this little Nanjing is a bandit number with long hair, and I am afraid that I can't find it on the map. Look to see if there is a Tangram town. "Yu Wendao has always been quite cautious and never gets too close to Guoxinga.

"Tangram Town...... Well...... It's here! "Guo Xing'a searched the map for a long time, and finally found Qiqiao Town.

Qiqiao Town is located close to Taihu Lake, between Changxing and Yixing. took his own map and compared the two to each other, and Guoxing'a also found the general location of his deserted village, between Moling and Chunhua. However, the deserted village of Goxinga is so small that you can't find a name on the map. I measured it, and it was more than 300 miles away.

"Tangram Town, what a name!" Guo Xing'a looked at the map for a long time, only to find that Yu Wendao, who was hanging aside, had nothing to say.

"Most of the ancestors of this town migrated here from the carpenters of the previous dynasty, so they got the name Qiqiao Town." Yu Wendao said with a smile.

"Tangram? Carpenter? Isn't it ...... with the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl" Guo Xing'a is a little confused, what does the carpenter have to do with Qiqiao, and the Cowherd has also worked as a carpenter?

"Adults don't know, carpentry also has seven tricks!" Yu Wendao looked quite proud.

"I really don't know, please give me advice!" Guo Xing'a, who has nothing to do, should only listen to the story.

"Don't dare, the seven tricks of carpentry are axes, planers, chisels, saws, ink fountains, and Luban rulers." Yu Wendao is like a few treasures.

"That's not right! That's six! Guo Xinga knocked on the table, and the sisters behind him had already snapped their fingers.

"Yes, this is the six treasures of carpentry, and it is also the six tricks." Yu Wendao smiled and said.

"What about the other one?" Goxinga asked.

"Clever!" Yu Wendao unveiled the mystery.

"Yes! The heart is ingenious, just like the mortise and tenon of this city tower, there is no seven-trick heart, where to make it. Guoxing Azan said.

"My lord, it's ridiculous!" Yu Wendao stood up and saluted, as if Guoxing Akua was him.

"You're a carpenter, aren't you?" Goxinga asked.

"The ancestral craft, although it no longer depends on it for food, always dare not be wasted." Yu Wendao nodded to Guo Xing'a.

"You have seen me a few times, you have never been close to me, cautious and restrained, it seems that you are also a seven-trick heart!" Of course, Guo Xing'a didn't find these details, but it was Tianni, who had seen Yu Wendao several times, who reminded Guo Xing'a.

"The villain is a sinner who used to be a thief, and he doesn't dare to desecrate the tiger's might of the adult." Yu Wendao replied very plainly.

"What do you want to do next?" Guo Xing'a really began to like Yu Wendao and wanted to take him for his own use.

"I help the adults protect the countryside!" Yu Wendao didn't seem to understand what Guo Xing'a meant.

"We won't stay here for the rest of our lives, and the officers and soldiers will withdraw sooner or later. What will you do when the officers and soldiers are gone? This place is far away from the government, and there will be no official and military garrisons in the future, what are your plans? "Guo Xing'a knows that not only here, but also Suzhou and Hangzhou will be occupied by the Taiping army in the future.

"Stick to the country, don't keep it, it's just death!" Yu Wendao completely ignored Guo Xing's off-string sound.

"Come with us!" Guo Xinga simply made it clear.

"Thanks to the wrong love of the adults, the adults and the army of the adults are indeed the only dignified teachers that Wen Dao has seen in his life. But Wendao can go with the adults, and the young people in the town can go with the adults, but the old and weak women and children can't go! Wendao inherits the ancestors, and if he is the head of a family, he cannot abandon them. "Yu Wendao is as calm as a mountain.

"Let's go together and go to those prefectures and counties that don't guard the infestation of long hair!" Guo Xing'a came up with ideas.

"My lord, you and I both know it's impossible. The mountains are high and the roads are far away, the soldiers are in trouble, and where is the peaceful world. It's hard to leave your homeland, so it's better to bury your hometown! Yu Wendao was quite sad, and he also knew that the result of stubbornness could only be death.

"I'll escort you all the way." Goxinga is not dead.

"If you have no livelihood and beg for food in a foreign country, you can get a bang if you die." Yu Wendao is iron-hearted.

"Alright! Acquaintance is also fate, I'll give you a way to make 10,000 enemies! Guo Xing'a looked at Yu Wendao with some reluctance.
