Zhao Lie left Lushun much later than Huang Taiji, he only left Lushun in June. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason why Zhao Lie left so late was because Lushun had been attacked and defended several times, especially this time the destruction of more than 30 general cannons of Jiannu basically destroyed the bricks of the north and south walls of Lushun South City, and there were many large cracks in the exposed rammed earth base.

Therefore, the north wall of Lushun South City must be rebuilt, otherwise it may be unable to withstand the cannon bombardment of Jiannu in the next time, in this place in this era, it is unimaginable without the protection of the city wall, and it is impossible to fight with Jiannu in the field.

After two fires in the past ten years, Lushun North City can be said to be barely supported, no matter how it can not be sustained, Zhao Lie decided that it can only be repaired and strengthened into a fortress.

As long as twenty-four pounder cannons are arranged at the head of the two cities, these two cities will become fortified cities, even if the whole army of Jiannu comes to attack and finally capture these two cities, it will also make Jiannu fill it with tens of thousands of lives, I am afraid that Jiannu will not be able to afford it.

According to Zhao Lie's order, the Shidao fleet sent all their merchant ships to transport 1,000 tons of cement to Lushun, and at the same time transported the reserve army of Jinghaiwei to replace the 2,000 reserve army in Beihua Town and the 2,000 soldiers in Jeju.

As soon as the cement arrived, the renovation of the two cities began immediately, with the bonding of cement, in fact, the repair of the city is very simple, that is, the cement is leveled, and then the city bricks are glued together with cement piece by piece, and soon the north city head of the south city of Lushun will take on a new look.

After renovation, the outer bricks were re-assembled. Underneath is a half-foot-thick cement base. Even the projectiles of the 36-pounder cannon could not be attacked. Not to mention that the largest Jiannu is just a twelve-pounder cannon.

If it weren't for the fact that these copycat versions of cement are problematic due to the fineness of the particles, and they are very easy to crack when used in a large area, Zhao Lie would have wrapped the entire northern city wall with cement.

That's it, Lushun Nancheng is also indestructible, and Jiannu will be helpless next time even if it is a hundred generals.

Zhang Pan looked at the mighty appearance of Lushun City now, it was really mixed feelings, and he was happy that Lushun was not the same, not only the city wall was reinforced. Thousands of elite soldiers and dozens of huge cannons have also been added, and the combat power is incomparable, but the sad thing is that in the past ten years, he has constantly asked the imperial court to renovate Lushun City and strengthen the armor, and the assistance given by the imperial court is scattered, and it is extremely pitiful.

Zhang Pan, who has experienced the fall of Liaodong and fought with Jiannu for more than 20 years, is now the same, whoever can help him take revenge, he will stand together, although Zhao Lie and the court do not fight peace, and watch out for each other. But there is a Mao relationship with him Zhang Pan, Zhang Pan only needs revenge.

For this. Zhang Pan deliberately proposed that once the renovation of the northern city was completed, he would lead his troops to garrison the northern city, and hand over the southern city to Wei Mingtao to lead the broken army to guard, showing his sincerity.

Even if Zhang Pan doesn't mention it, Zhao Lie will also mention it, after all, the southern city with the dock will be guarded by the Ming army, and the back road of thousands of broken captives will be handed over to others, even if this person is Zhang Pan, Zhao Lie will not be able to bear it.

In order to compensate Zhang Pan, a large number of captured armor will be supported by Zhang Pan's subordinates, at least let Zhang Pan's subordinates have a leather armor, Zhao Lie can still do it.

So the two families were happy, Zhao Lie got the dominance of Lushun, and Zhang Pan was trusted and helped by Zhao Lie, with these soldiers who were quickly damaged, the soldiers would complete the drill, and the strength would go to a higher level, as long as the strength was there, Zhang Pan didn't believe that the court could still find him trouble, even if he showed favor to Zhao Lie, the court could still have the spare strength to launch twenty or thirty thousand soldiers and horses to crusade against him, it was impossible.

On the fifth day of the sixth month of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhao Lie said goodbye to Zhang Pan, Zhu Guochang, and Wei Mingtao at the dock, and left Lushun for Jeju.

Zhao Lie deeply felt that the internal turmoil of the Ming Dynasty in the future would be unbearable, and he was afraid that he would never be able to leave Shidao and Denglai for a while, so this time he was afraid that he would have his last chance to be free, and he would go to Jeju and Beihua to take a good look at the current situation of the overseas territories, and he could rest assured about the local military and political affairs.

Ten days later, Zhao Lie arrived at the Jeju wharf, and Li Hu and Li Lu went to the wharf to greet Zhao Lie, and at the same time made it clear to Zhao Lie that the shogunate should have paid this year's 250,000 taels of silver in March this year, and the Tokugawa shogunate used various excuses not to deliver, and at the same time was building a fort in Edo Bay, with the Dutch providing the construction drawings and sending people to guide and provide the cannons, at this time more than half of the construction had been completed, and soon Edowan would be surrounded by more than 20 forts.

"My lord, the Tokugawa family of the Wa Kingdom just wants to block Edo Bay with a fort, so that the sailors cannot advance an inch, as long as our army cannot attack Edo, it is to land in other places to attack the Wa Kingdom, and the great general of the Wa Kingdom, Iemitsu, is not afraid, they think that my Ming people's foot combat is too far behind, far from the opponent of the banner under the command of Iemitsu." Li Hu stepped forward to report,

"This was all secretly reported by the people of the Changzhou Domain, and it can be said that everything is true." Fang Yu whispered.

Zhao Lie nodded, he had long thought of the dishonesty of the Wa Kingdom, the Wa Kingdom has always been the opposite, the famous face does not recognize people, and he has done a lot of treacherous deeds in the afterlife.

However, this kind of national disposition began to be practiced in the Warring States period of Japan, and more than 100 daimyo carried out brutal battles for hegemony during the Warring States period of the Wa Kingdom.

At this time, the means of getting down to the top, eating inside and outside, etc., have appeared here, that is, the so-called etiquette system has collapsed to the extreme, so from now on, the so-called Xinnuo has completely disappeared here, and there is only one thing to believe here, that is, strength.

That is to say, there is no essential difference between the Japanese people today and the Japanese people hundreds of years later, and they are all ordinary incorruptible and shameful.

They will never give in if they are not completely conquered, and of course if you beat them to the bottom, they will kneel down and sing the rhythm of conquest and licking.

Zhao Lie planned to destroy the peace agreement as early as last year after the initial conclusion of the peace agreement, after all, this peace agreement did not allow the so-called general of the Japanese State to abolish the order to close the country, and the maritime trade of the Japanese State was not restored, and now the Dutch people are enjoying it, because only their sea ships can go to the Japanese State to trade, and nothing else.

It is simply a monopoly on the sea trade of the Wa Kingdom, and the income earned is eye-catching, and many merchants have found Jeju, hoping to break the military and naval divisions to open the retreat of the Wa State, for which they can even provide silver taels and rewards for sending troops, including Luo Pang, Yan Junyi, etc., the merchants of Shidao.

Zhao Lie thought about it slightly, Jiannu has just experienced the defeat of Lushun, and the original qi has been damaged to some extent, I am afraid that this year will not be able to enter the Kou, then there are no enemies in other directions, it seems that this year is a good time to solve the Japanese state, this time it is best to solve this trouble once and for all, otherwise there will not be much time to be constrained by the Japanese people in the future.

"Let's give the order to gather troops. Let the soldiers of Jeju and Beihua, well, and the soldiers of Ishido arrive here within three months, and the target, the Wa Kingdom, will be decided in a war this time, so that the Wa State will be a vassal from now on. Zhao Lie turned around and looked at everyone and said decisively.

Li Hu, Li Lu and others hurriedly received the order, their laughter could not be concealed, this time, I am afraid that they will earn a lot of military expenses, plus the indemnity of the Japanese state, the money and food of the Jeju sailors and soldiers will be much more relaxed.

"Jeju can only keep half of the **** military spending this time, and the rest will be handed over to Shidao, and the burden on Shidao will be very heavy in the future." Zhao Lie's words immediately made Li Lu and the others bitter, and the eggs were half beaten.

One night three days later, in a house in Jeju Castle, Yamauchi Shinmasa, who now wears his hair in a bun, is waiting in the main hall, and now he is in charge of contacting Jeju Akito full-time, and many times he walks secretly between Hagiseong and Jeju.

Ever since the Shogun issued the order to lock down the country, he and the Governor Maori Xiu have keenly felt that the opportunity has come.

They knew best that the Jeju Ming people valued the maritime trade routes of the Wa Kingdom, otherwise they would definitely not have repeated enemies with the shogunate, and they would not have any private dealings with the Ogi Domain.

Now that the Tokugawa family has locked down the national order, they estimate that the Jeju Ming people will definitely make a big move, so Yamauchi Nobumasa came to Jeju to investigate the rumors on the order of the head of the family, so as to settle the behavior of the Ogi Domain.

Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Jeju, he was guided to that secret harbor and landed, and asked to see Lord Fang Yu, and today he was led to this mansion that he was very familiar with, this is the fastest time to propose to meet and be led, Yamauchi Nobumasa estimated that there must be something important, and he faintly felt that it had a great deal to do with the Choshu Domain.

Nobumasa Yamauchi was thinking up and down in his heart, and the footsteps of many people sounded outside, and he hurriedly got up and faced the door.

I saw Fang Yu, who was fully armored, entering the room with several guards.

"Meet Lord Mingguo." Nobumasa Yamauchi bowed deeply and bowed to the shrine.

"Let's do it." Fang Yu smiled slightly and arched his hand.

After the two were seated, the others exited the room.

"Lord Yamauchi has worked hard all the way, and the news from you has been received twice, which can be said to be of great help to our army."

Fang Yu first approved, and the face of Shinmasa Yamauchi lit up.

"This time, the marshal of my family has decided to send troops to the Wa Kingdom and conquer the non-ministers, and I hope that the Choshu Domain will continue to inquire about all the news of the shogunate."

Next is the request of the Broken Army, in general, the leading party of the Changzhou Domain is extremely active and obedient, and Fang Yu is also not hesitant to praise.

Yamauchi Nobumasa's heart shook wildly, and finally waited for this moment, he endured humiliation for many years, just for this day.

As for whether the army can defeat the shogunate flag and stand in the future, everyone else would say that it is impossible, but Yamauchi has been in and out of Jeju many times, and he believes that the combat power of the Jeju Ming infantry army is far higher than that of the shogunate flag book.

Yamauchi Shinmasa bowed down and thanked him, "Thank you, Lord Zhao, thank you, the Choshu Domain is grateful for the five years." ”

Yamauchi Nobumasa's tears were gushing down, and he finally waited until dawn, and the Choshu clan and his sky were all bright. (To be continued.) )
