Chapter 163 POV: Chen Pei'er Chuansha Castle

Chen Pei'er was wearing a thick shawl and a fur hat on her head, and she looked like a fluffy fox. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info She stood on the Wanshou Bridge in the west of the city, slowly stomped her feet, cursed softly in the cold and damp weather, and then looked at the castle in front of her with impatient eyes.

Chuansha Fort has now decayed, this castle was built in the 36th year of Jiajing, once an important stronghold against the Japanese invaders, but now it has been completely defeated by the power of time, reduced to a complex full of decay and vicissitudes.

The wall of the castle is very high, it is said that it is as high as two zhang and eight feet, and the wall inside is three zhang wide, with a circumference of four miles, which can garrison thousands of soldiers, and there are twelve forts and four suspension bridges on the four sides, and it is surrounded by a moat that is 12 zhang wide, which can be called easy to defend and difficult to attack.

But now it seems that there was a moat of twelve feet, and there seemed to have been a waterway outside the castle, but this waterway had dried up completely, leaving black stains in the waterway, and in addition to this black stain, only some tattered wood and tiles remained. Chen Pei'er took a closer look, but found that there was a strong stench emitting from it, and it was obvious that the defenders of the city had used it as a ditch to dump excrement, and they did not expect that this would likely cause a plague.

"Fortunately, it's winter, it's cold, and I can't afford to be sick, if it's summer, a lot of people will die!" Chen Pei'er thought secretly and looked at the city again. At the head of the city there are carefully built female walls and arrow towers, which are the remains of the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, from the mottled city wall bricks and rusty cannon ports, she seems to be able to vaguely perceive a trace of the glory and strength of the peak period of the dynasty. It's just that no matter how good the defense facilities are, someone has to guard them, she has been waiting under the city for a long time, but she still hasn't found any defenders at the head of the city, and the castle is as if it is dead, exuding a strong atmosphere of decadence.

"This castle is dead, just like this dynasty, although there is still a prosperous Jiangnan and towering city walls, but these cannot prevent its demise!" Chen Pei'er measured the tall city wall with her hand, and then gently pushed it with her hand, fantasizing that she would tear down the city wall at once, and then the scene of the landslide and dust, her heart was full of joy: "This castle is the first base of my husband's family, and I want to help him occupy it!" ”

With this in mind, she looked at the hundred elite soldiers standing behind her. The soldiers were dressed in bulging cotton clothes, covered with red and black military uniforms, and wore scarves around their necks, making them look very lean. These soldiers were completely incompatible with the soldiers she had seen on the street before, those soldiers walked staggeringly, and the best thing they did was to bully men and women and rob houses, but they were of little use to defend the country and the country. These soldiers were different, they stood still in place, even if the cold winter wind was howling, they did not move, as if they were dead. And the white mist they exhale from time to time proves that this is a group of strong and combat-savvy soldiers, definitely the subordinates that any general dreams of.

They like to use spears about six feet long, and they have swords around their waists, but they are said to be the most powerful in small formations of spears in groups of three. These soldiers with a great desire to attack can form a small formation of three according to their rank after being disrupted, and they will never flee even if they are scattered.

According to Xianggong's letter, these are soldiers of faith armed with Datongism, and they will never compromise with the old forces in their struggle to build a Datong society.

She looked at the soldiers with joy, like a landowner looking at his stack of grain. Yes, these soldiers are the best cornerstone of the king's hegemony and the most valuable asset for anyone who aspires to build a career. These people are Xianggong's subordinates, and they are Xianggong's wife, which is equivalent to their own wealth!

Thinking like this, she looked at these soldiers who were attacked by the cold wind with distress, like a peasant woman who loved her hens.

For their wealth, such as war horses, such as carriages, such as sheep, all wise masters will take care of it.

The goal is to gain more wealth.

More riches until the whole world is in your hands!

She looked at one of the generals standing in front of her. This general's name is Xu Jingen, and he is the right-hand man of Fujun, and it is said that he has a lot of experience in military affairs, especially believes in Fujun's "Datongism", and if nothing else, he will be the pillar of the future army. Since ancient times, there is a soldier in troubled times who is the king of grass, even if this army leader is vulgar, Chen Peier still feels that it is necessary to make friends, so she came to Xu Jingen's side with a few soldiers and asked softly: "General Xu, you are really weak when you look at the castle defense!" ”

When Xu Jingen heard this, he realized that the main mother had come over. He first cautiously confirmed the distance between them, then lowered his eyes, made a masculine military salute firmly and vigorously, and said loudly: "Madam, you don't need to come at all, Liu Gong is already behind with a large team, and it is estimated that he will arrive in Liufu in the near future, why do you brave the frost and snow to come with someone?" Thinking about it, there is a certain edict from Liu Gong, this Sichuan sand castle is just a thousand households, and he will never dare to say anything! ”

Chen Peier smiled lightly, although she missed her husband like crazy, but she was not an ordinary woman who would rather wait at home and wait for her husband to return. She has no intention of being Empress Lu and Wu Cao, but she intends to be Xiao He and Chen Ping, and if she wants to take power in an organization, she relies on relationships, ability and merit.

With her relationship with Xianggong, it is even closer than Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei, after all, husband and wife are pillow people, and the two are one; In terms of ability, she thinks that she is not inferior to any famous minister and virtuous minister, and after reading a few big books and newspapers of Xianggong, she feels that she has made great progress, so in terms of ability, she is not worse than anyone else. The only trouble is that she is a woman, and it is immoral to show up after all, but if she does not go to the front line in person, it will be difficult to accumulate prestige if the command is determined, so she insists on coming with Xu Jingen, and she must win this credit.

Although the officer in front of her is masculine, he speaks quite elegantly, and he thinks that he is a general, and such a person will be promoted quickly, so her good impression of General Xu has deepened. Thinking like this, she just smiled faintly: "General Xu, a heroic man, has always been a gentleman who does not deceive the dark room, so why don't you dare to raise your eyes to look at me?"
