Chapter Eighty-Three: An Undercurrent Surges
Taihe Palace, early dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair and took the initiative to ask Chen Xinjia, it can be seen that Chongzhen is more concerned about the war in Tianjinwei, Chongzhen asked.
"Chen Aiqing, how is the battle in Tianjin Wei?"
Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, came out of the column and said: "Back to Your Majesty, since yesterday morning, the Manchu Tartars have launched three sieges on the Tianjin Guard, each time in vain, all of them were repelled by the general soldiers of Zhang who defended the city, and the Tartar casualties have been at least thousands. ”
Hearing this, Chongzhen Longyan Dayue said to the Manchu Dynasty: "Look at it, this is the tiger general, this is the tiger general!" If we have a few more tiger generals like Mr. Zhang, how dare the Tartars be so rampant! ”
The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, many people were surprised, with less than 2,000 people not only held the Tianjin Guard, but also defeated the siege of the Tartars three times, this is simply a miracle, yes, can only be described as a miracle.
………
A few days later....
On the city tower, Zhang Feng raised his eyes and looked into the distance.
Today is the seventh day of the siege of the Tartars, and the Tartars outside the city show no signs of retreating, and it snowed a few days ago, and it is white everywhere, and the Tartars are so conspicuous in the white.
In the first two days, the Tartars launched a total of three sieges, but fortunately, Zhang Feng had sufficient ammunition, and with the cooperation of thousands of young people, he successfully defeated the Tartars' attack and held the Tianjin Guard.
Subsequently, the Tartars were surprisingly quiet, and did not launch another siege, but just besieged Tianjin Wei.
The weather was cold, but fortunately there were cotton coats, the thick cotton coats, which were somewhat similar to the military coats of later generations, and even so, some soldiers still felt unwell or caught a cold.
Zhang Feng smelled a smell of Chinese medicine, and Zhang Feng couldn't help but walk over, "Daddy Zhang, I sent the decoction again, thank you!" ”
Father Zhang is Langzhong in Tianjin Weinei, a few days ago, he helped to treat the wounded, these days, I saw many people suffering from cold and cold, so he boiled a decoction for everyone to drink.
Not to mention, this decoction is very spiritual, after people with a cold drink it, they feel warm and comfortable, and after drinking it a few times, the cold gradually improves.
Father Zhang knew Zhang Feng and hurriedly said: "Mr. Zhang, there are a little more people with colds than yesterday, I have boiled a lot this time, and anyone with a cold can drink it." ”
Since the siege of the city by the Tartars, many ordinary people in Tianjin have taken action to help everyone do this and that, such as helping the soldiers of the cooking class, helping the soldiers to transport ammunition, helping everyone treat the wounded, and so on.
If there were not so many people to help, Zhang Feng knew that it was definitely not so easy to defend the city, Zhang Feng was grateful to the people in the city, and even distributed some food to the people who were more difficult, and the people who came to help also distributed some food.
Wang Chaoyong walked to the head of the city and walked to Zhang Feng's side, "General soldiers, for several days, the Tartars are surrounded but not beaten, I don't know which one is singing." ”
Zhang Feng couldn't figure out the Tartar's intentions for the time being, and said slowly: "Wait and see, I guess the Tartars may want to surround us here." ”
For several days, the Tartars had been surrounded without fighting, but it was only the calm before the storm.
The Great Tartar Tent.
Dolgon, Yueto and others are sitting, if Hauge is not dead, it is estimated that he will also sit here, it is cold outside, white and expansive, but inside the tent is very warm, in the center of the tent, a large pot of carbon fire, is burning.
In addition to Dolgon, Yue Tuo and others, there are also some high-ranking Tartar officers of the Tartars, such as the Tartar Gushan, the Tartar Jia Lama Ezhen and so on.
Dolgon said: "This opponent of ours is not ordinary, we must pay attention to it, we must not underestimate the enemy, everyone must remember this." ”
These days, after several confrontations with Zhang Feng, Dolgon finally paid attention to it thoroughly, and before there was no effective countermeasure, he did not move, just besieged the Tianjin Guard, and was not in a hurry to attack.
Dolgon said that the Tartar generals present, including Yue Tuo, nodded their heads, and after several battles and defeats, the Tartars did not dare to despise Zhang Feng at all.
Dolgon said, "How's our preparation going?" ”
A Tartar general said: "Master, in three days at most, we will be all ready, and by then, the Ming army of Tianjin Wei will be dead." ”
It can be seen that the Tartars are preparing a shocking conspiracy to capture Tianjin Wei in one fell swoop.
………
Matsue Prefecture.
Although it is located in the south, the weather has gradually changed from cool to a little chilly, and in the back garden, Chen Yuanyuan looked at a plum blossom in a daze.
"Miss, are you thinking about your uncle?"
"Begging for a beating." Chen Yuanyuan glanced at his personal maid Fluttershy, but a faint red cloud still flew uncontrollably on Chen Yuanyuan's cheeks, which was incomprehensible.
Chen Yuanyuan said quietly, "Fluttershy, you said that Brother Feng has been away from Songjiang Mansion for more than a month, why hasn't he come back, it's really a hurry." ”
Fluttershy relieved, "Miss, don't worry, my uncle will definitely return safely." ”
Chen Yuanyuan nodded, looked at the north, and thought in his heart, this weather is gradually getting colder, I don't know if Brother Feng is cold.
Zhang's house.
As Zhang Feng became more and more famous in Songjiang Mansion, Zhang Yuanxiang also rose with the tide, and successfully donated an idle position as a foreigner, and now he is Zhang Yuanwai.
However, Zhang Yuanxiang frowned slightly, and there was no scenery and joy of a foreigner, Zhang Yuanxiang thought in his heart, I don't know what happened to Feng'er.
Regarding the news of Zhang Feng, Zhang Yuanxiang still got it from the fleet, and the cargo ship returning from the port of Tianjin brought the news, and Zhang Feng won a great battle and killed many Tartars.
At the same time, Zhang Yuanxiang also knew that the soldiers of the Songjiang Mansion Guard, including Tan Weidong, the commander of the guard, had been killed in battle, and Zhang Yuanxiang was embarrassed, but he was inevitably worried about Zhang Feng's safety.
"Father, you're worried about your eldest brother again."
"Hai'er, do you think your brother will be okay?"
Zhang Hai said confidently: "Father, don't worry, who is my eldest brother, he must be fine." ”
Zhang Yuanxiang nodded, "Hai'er, you study hard, you must give me a show in next year's township exam before you come back." ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Hai made a naughty grimace and ran away immediately.
Zhang Feng is not in Songjiang Mansion, there are many people who are worried about Zhang Feng's safety, Yang Shenghai, Zhao Zuolin and others, while worrying about Zhang Feng, work harder, the textile factory is thriving, the arsenal is also good, and every day is in full swing.
Because of the abundance of good steel, the arsenal not only produced muskets and grenades, but also made steam engines and marine steam engines.
Such a steam engine, Zhang Feng has already manufactured several units when he was there, and now that Zhang Feng is not there, Zhao Zuolin can also hold it, even if he encounters some technical problems, Zhao Zuolin will also convene some backbones, and everyone will solve them collectively.
Therefore, during the period of Zhang Feng's absence, everything did not stop, and it was still developing, because of the steam engine, the shipyard had completed the construction of the eighth 2,000-material transport ship.
On the surface, everything is developing as usual, but there are still some people who take advantage of Zhang Feng's absence and begin to have undercurrents, such as Zhao Shuiquan.
At the beginning of the period, Zhao Shuiquan behaved "honestly", especially after most of the soldiers of Songjiang Mansion were killed in battle, and even Tan Weidong died, Zhao Shuiquan was even worried and afraid for a while, worried that his backer Zhao Guangcai also died.
However, the news still came, Zhao Guangcai did not die, but leaned on the Guanning Military Supervision Army, and Zhao Guangcai began to move again.
Two days ago, after Zhao Guangcai learned that Zhang Feng was surrounded by the 100,000 Manchu army in Tianjin, he could no longer hold back the ecstasy in his heart and immediately began to act.
"Haha, God help me, this time Zhang Feng is finished."
After being happy, Zhao Shuiquan returned to the Songjiang Mansion Guard, as if he had become the commander of the Guard. The old, weak, sick and disabled people left behind by the guard seemed to have become Zhao Shuiquan's personal armies.
"Sun Baihu, your opportunity has come, let me go to the Oriental Textile Factory and get a few looms and spinning machines."
Sun Youzhi is the biggest official position in the Wei Institute now, if it was before, it would be just a hundred households, and it would be completely a small shrimp role, but now it is different, there is no tiger in the mountains, and the monkey is the overlord.
Although he is a little disabled, Sun Youzhi is not stupid, and said hesitantly: "Zhao Gongzi, do you mean to go to Ming to rob?" ”
In addition to the Ming robbery, Sun Youzhi really couldn't think of any other way to get a loom and a spinning machine, so he looked at Zhao Shuiquan hesitantly.
Zhao Shuiquan smiled contemptuously and said: "Even if it is robbed, you don't have to be afraid, Tan Weidong is dead, and this will be my godfather's world in the future." ”
After hesitating for a long time, Sun Youzhi said: "Then I'll take someone to the Oriental Textile Factory to have a look." ”
Zhao Shuiquan has a large textile factory in Suzhou, which is completely modeled after the Oriental Textile Factory, but because there are no advanced looms and spinning machines, it has been losing money, Zhao Shuiquan thought that his textile would not be able to hold on for a few months at most, and he didn't think that the opportunity came.
"God help me, haha......" Zhao Shuiquan thought happily, and couldn't help laughing.
