Chapter 7 Going North to Guilin
Zheng Jue did not let them start training immediately after the recruits signed, but asked them to help build the city wall of the new city, after all, the firearms fired by the firearms workshop and the war horses bought from Zheng Zhilong have not yet arrived, and now the training can only be a training queue, instead of going to the training queue, it is better to repair the city wall, repair it early, and have a little sense of security
The scale of the construction team of the new city is already quite large, there are already tens of thousands of people working here, due to the doubling of manpower, the construction speed of the city wall is very fast, less than a month after the construction of the city wall was completed, Zheng Jue ordered the firearms shop to cast an eight-thousand-pound gate, this gate took nearly half a month of work by the blacksmiths, the gate was repaired very wide, Zheng Jue looked at the wooden gate of Wuzhou City is really insecure, get a gate, water and fire do not invade verynice
Zheng Jue looked at the city wall that had been repaired, and felt that the rest of the construction period did not need to be too rushed, after all, the city was mainly a city wall, and the internal organs inside could be taken slowly, Zheng Jue transferred the troops of 6,000 people out and began to practice outside the new city, and also wrote a block letter himself, even he felt very miserable Zheng Jue had no choice but to let Steward Wang write it again, and the name of the new city was set - Jingyuan City
Separate selection and training of the troops outside the city, looking at the team outside the city becoming neater day by day, day by day more neat shouting and killing, Zheng Jue ignited a glimmer of hope for the future, the school field in the city, Zheng Jue with his memory let Wang Steward build some modern multi-arms exercises and training projects, Zheng Jue wants to use the modern method of riding and foot in Daming, to create a strong army to destroy the world
Zheng Jue was bored looking at the scenery on the wall of Jingyuan City this day, and suddenly found that a guard of honor of the vassal king came to the east, Zheng Jue hurriedly ordered the kitchen to open the fire to cook and prepare good wine and food, Zheng Jue himself rode a horse and walked towards King Gui's honor guard, Zheng Jue happened to see the team come out of the ride, and was looking at Jingyuan City curiously, I don't know how this city rose from the ground in just a few months
"Haha, Your Highness is back!" Zheng Jue hit the horse to meet him
"What are you doing here? In just one month, such a fortified city was built? Zhu Youlang looked at this city wall, it was incredible, in fact, the cement had just dried up in the past few days
"Brother, Tai~ Let's go, the city has prepared wine and food, let's talk while eating~" Zheng Jue led Zhu Youlang to Jingyuan City, and Zhu Youlang found that he was cooperating with such a big city...... Just a city wall, fortunately, the guards in the city have almost been repaired, and Zheng Jue has already asked people to prepare wine and food from here
"I said Brother Xian, those two women" Zheng Jue heard Zhu Youlang say that the two women hurriedly added vegetables to Zhu Youlang
"Brother Xian, those two women"
"Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables"
"Brother Xian, those two women"
"I dug this cook from Zuixianlou at a high price"
"Brother Xian, those two women"
"Just those two women, you're endless!"
"No, Brother Xian, I mean you don't need to look for those two women, I have already met them on the road" Zhu Youlang finally swallowed the food in his mouth
"Where did it come from? I have walked so many places in Wuzhou City, and I have found so many people, and there is not a single family surnamed Li," Zheng Jue didn't believe that Zhu Youlang met him on the road
"Wuzhou is located in a remote area, of course, there is no big family surnamed Li, those two young ladies are surnamed Li, but they are the daughters of Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Ma was originally surnamed Li, and was later adopted, so no one in this Wuzhou city generally knows" Zheng Jue stared at Zhu Youlang and said, "Miss Li Yue is a sister, Miss Li Lin is a sister, Miss Li Yue asked me to tell you"
"Say what!" Zhu Youlang glanced at Zheng Jue, drank a glass of wine, lowered his head and began to eat vegetables, "What the hell am I talking about!" ”
"Ha, Brother Xian, what are you anxious about, she just said that their family is going to move to Nanjing, so that you can go to Nanjing to play when you have time to play with her, I said Brother Xian, you are much smarter than me, amazing hahahaha~"
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables" Zheng Jue couldn't help blushing, suddenly, Zheng Jue realized a terrible fact, Ma Shiying was the cabinet chief assistant of the Hongguang Dynasty, but Nanjing fell in May of the first year of Hongguang, and then fought guerrillas in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for several months, although how he died is controversial, but it is indeed dead
Thinking of this, Zheng Jue couldn't help but sweat all over his body, it is now September of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Zhu Yousong has now ascended the throne with the support of Ma Shiying and others, Zheng Jue calculated the time, there are less than six months before the Qing army will start to go south, and now the worst thing is that Li Zicheng is being bitten by the little mad dog Wu Sangui and running around
"I said, Your Highness, if you have time in the next few months, can you accompany me to Yingtianfu?" Zheng Jue came to such a sentence without a brain
Zhu Youlang was obviously stunned, and saw Zheng Jue's expression: "I'll make up, brother Xian, you tell me that the vassal king of this dynasty entered Beijing without permission and was discovered, what do you think?" Zhu Youlang reminded Zheng Jue, Zheng Jue suddenly realized, but this trip to the north must go, Zheng Jue has to take a boat to Macao, go to Macao to catch a few missionaries, and after changing ships from Macao, he has to go to Quanzhou to see Zheng Zhilong's uncle, mainly Zheng Jue wants to meet Zheng Chenggong, a cousin, so that he can pick up Ma Shiying's father and daughter after the city of Nanjing is broken, and then take a boat to Yingtianfu to meet Li Yue
"Ha, it's me who can't talk but have a brain, eat vegetables and eat vegetables"
"Brother Xian, what are you doing building such a big city here" Zhu Youlang looked at the scenery outside and couldn't help but feel happy
"Ha, the world is going to be in chaos, I have to build a nest and sleep well"
"Good place, beautiful mountains and rivers, I really hope to live here for a few years in the future, regardless of the outside"
The two of them couldn't drink, and finally Zheng Jue asked Zimo to send Zhu Youlang back to King Gui's mansion. Zheng Jue had already moved his home to Jingyuan, but Zheng Jue really didn't dare to live
On the evening of Zhu Youlang's return from Nanjing, Zheng Jue received a letter from Zhu Zhijian that Sun Kewang had 50,000 troops to surround Guilin and transfer all the elites of Liangguang to Guilin to relieve the siege
Zhu Zhijian asked Zheng Jue to order all the soldiers and horses to go to Wuzhou City immediately to go to Wuzhou City with the rest of the Wuzhou Wei soldiers and horses in the round led by Zhu Zhijian to go north to Guilin, Zheng Jue's instinctive reaction after receiving the letter was to hide, after all, Nima's Sun Kewang, this is a famous general who has left a name in history, can not be fooled, Zheng Jue thought about it and still wanted to go, but only brought 1,500 guns, 500 crossbow teams, and 1,000 foot battalions, and the remaining 3,000 stayed at home to watch the house, and when he left, Zheng Jue left Shi Mo and Zeng Yi, Zeng Yi is the most skilled at training among them, Zheng Jue asked Zeng Yi to take these 3,000 people to practice defending the city first, and the output and quality of the firearms workshop increased instantly after building a small blast furnace with cement, Zheng Jue explained when he left, everything is as usual and must be stepped up, more production, more training, the greater the possibility of survival
