Chapter 203: Operation on Ice

The young general shouted at Zhu Youcheng: "You traitor, why did you encourage Wang Xiaxe, that coward, to evacuate? Don't you know that there are more than 17,000 people on the island, and 250,000 stones of grain and grass? How much money will be wasted and how much time will it take to evacuate in a hurry? ”

Zhu Youcheng stopped the soldiers who wanted to rush over to teach him a lesson, and asked, "Jiannu is coming, what can you do to protect the people on the island?" ”

"Jiannu will not attack, even if it does, we will attack Ningyuan City from east to west, and Jiannu will inevitably flee in panic. {[}”

"Remind you that Jiannu has invaded on a large scale this time, and the number of people is at least 60,000. You want to flank Jiannu's 60,000 army with 30,000 soldiers, it's not a joke. ”

The young general was so desperate that he rushed forward to make a move. Zhu Youcheng was afraid of him, grabbed his hands, hooked his right leg, and the young general lay there.

"Boy, it's good, it doesn't make sense, so I'll change it. What is your name, what is your position? ”

The young general climbed up and shouted: "The eldest husband will not change his name or surname, the guerrilla general Jin Guan is also, and my father is the governor of Tuntong and sentenced Jin Qiliang." ”

"If your father is Li Gang, I may be afraid, but Du Tun will be sentenced...... Is your father's name really Jin Qiliang? ”

"Scared, aren't you?"

"Poor boy, who is about to lose his father, is still proud here."

As soon as Zhu Youcheng heard that he and Ning Yuancheng's governor Tuntong were father and son, he immediately figured out why Ning Yuancheng had a strange shell explosion case. In the defense of Ningyuan, the biggest mystery was the shell explosion case, which blew up a prisoner from the seventh grade, Jin Qiliang, who was sentenced to death by Tuntong, and his bones were gone. In the defense of Xianningyuan, there were not a few cannons at all, and the shells would explode. Secondly, the sound of the cannon was deafening, even after the gunner lit the fuse. will be far away from the artillery, why does Jin Qiliang have to be so close to the artillery, is he waiting to be blown up? Again, there were many incidents of shell explosions in the Ming Dynasty, although some people were injured or killed, but Jin Qiliang was the worst. There are no bones left, is he standing in front of the artillery? The only possibility is that Jin Qiliang felt that Huadao was besieged and wanted to come to the rescue, but was killed by Yuan Chonghuan. After all, Jin Qiliang was an official of the imperial court, and Yuan Chonghuan simply blew his body into powder in order to cover up the case.

"What, you dare to curse my father? I'm fighting with you. ”

Jin Guan rushed up, but with a "snap", he was thrown there by Zhu Youcheng again.

Zhu Youcheng said earnestly: "Once Juehua Island is besieged by Jiannu. Your father must have known that Lord Yuan had abandoned you on the island as an outcast, and in addition to being angry, he clashed with Yuan Chonghuan, and was tied to the cannon and blown up alive, which was an inevitable outcome. I don't know your father, can I curse him? Besides, the curse is an incompetent thing done by an incompetent person, and the official wants to take revenge. Just lead the brocade guard and rush over, can you do such a boring thing? ”

The golden crown climbed up. After pondering for a moment, although Zhu Youcheng said harshly, with his father's character, such a thing would definitely happen.

He said: "Master Zhu, borrow a horse, I'll go to Ningyuan City to ask for clarification." ”

"If you want your father to die soon, go over. You go to Ningyuan City to confront Yuan Chonghuan. Yuan Chonghuan is afraid that the conspiracy to sacrifice Juehua Island will be exposed, and he will definitely destroy you and your father together. ”

"What then?"

Zhu Youcheng wanted to say that your father was destined to die, but he was afraid that this young man would do something stupid, so he said: "I hope your father's ears are not so smart." I didn't realize that Huadao was attacked. However, if we evacuate in time, there will be no war on Juehua Island, and your father will be fine. If you want to keep your father, now hurry up and help General Wang Xiaxe mobilize the people to evacuate. ”

Seeing off the golden crown, Zhu Youcheng ordered Wu Huping to strengthen surveillance and not allow anyone to leave Juehua Island from the ice. It has been determined that the evacuation by boat and the people who changed to Route 6 are ready to report to Yuan Chonghuan. If the evacuation is known by Yuan Chonghuan, and there will be twists and turns, Zhu Youcheng does not want to be pitted by "his own people".

I thought it would take a long time to convince the people, but I didn't expect that two hours later, Wang Xiaxe came to Zhu Youcheng's handsome tent to reply: "Lord Zhu, except for a very few people, the other people are willing to leave by boat, but they asked the adults to give them a little time, and two days later, they packed up their things and left Juehua Island." ”

"The official gave them time, so who gave me time? Lord Wang, you go to give an order, the official will only give two hours, they only need to bring gold, silver, and softness, and each person will go to the granary to carry a bag of rations, and no other things are allowed to be brought. The people who went on the boat within three hours had a settling-in fee of ten taels of silver for each household, and the people who got on the boat within four hours had a settling-in fee of five taels of silver per household, and those who got on the boat after four hours had not a tael of silver, and the heads of each household were to receive twenty lashes. Settling-in fee to Tianjin Port again. ”

After speaking, he muttered again: "your big watermelon, others fight for money, Lao Tzu fights for money, and Lao Tzu fights for money......"

Wang Xiaxe said with a sneer: "My lord loves the people like a son, and the people will definitely treat you as a Buddha of ten thousand families, offering you an immortal tablet, and incense every day." ”

"Don't. Qin Qiong, the sixteenth good man of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, enjoyed such treatment once, but he was unlucky, and even the yellow horse was sold. Whoever dares to offer me the tablet of immortality, I will beat whomever I want. By the way, how is the progress of the dredging? This is a matter of life and death for the soldiers on the island, and we can't relax. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I've sent all the soldiers on board, and I'm going to dig day and night, and I'm sure I'll be able to dig out the boat."

After Wang Xiaxe finished reporting the situation, he went out again to get busy.

Zhu Youcheng had a headache because he was facing another division of troops. Originally, 5,000 soldiers and horses were a little stretched, but the guards of Dengzhou were divided into 200 households, and now they have to divide part of the troops to defend the Fuchuan and maintain order. In all dynasties, whether it is a good government or a bad government, it is always better than no government. If you don't send troops on board, there are no government agencies on board, and God knows what will happen. Don't do good things when you don't do them, but you create great evils.

Who should I send? Zhu Youcheng first ruled out grenadiers, grenades are weapons of mass destruction, it is okay to blow up the enemy, but use it to maintain order...... Zhu Youcheng shuddered. How many people, twenty-five ships, ten people per boat, at least two hundred and fifty people, three hundred households are enough, just choose people from Jiang Ting, Feng Dingbang, Xu Ning three pure fire gun hundred households. There is no way, and we have to draw lots.

Zhu Youcheng convened a meeting of the generals again and gave the order. Hundreds of households came up to draw lots, and those who were drawn were naturally depressed, while those who did not draw were elated. Zhu Youcheng left the three unlucky eggs in the military tent and taught them in detail how to manage the daily activities of the people and suppress the thorns in the trouble. He personally lent the token of Wei Zhongxian, the factory father, to the most clever Baihu Han Zhong, and asked him to take the token to the town guard eunuch or Jinyi guard of Tianjin Port. The first is to lend money to the people who get on board on time. The second is to let him arrange temporary shelters for these people.

During the Ming Dynasty, the port of Tianjin was not large, but because of the prosperity of maritime trade, the emperor should have left eunuchs here to collect taxes.

The three hundred households listened attentively, and then had a teacher addiction in their own hundred households. Fortunately, the soldiers recruited by Jinyiwei have all been selected, and great strength and good health are not the only conditions for enlistment, but also clever enough. The knowledge that the hundreds of households had received from Zhu Youcheng was sold to every soldier in a smooth manner.

After a short time, the soldiers boarded the fortune ship in groups and began to work. Under the stimulus of ten taels of silver. Most of the people were evacuated to three hours, a few within four hours, and a very small number were escorted by soldiers after four hours. These men received twenty lashes in solidity. Of course, the force is much less than that of the marching method, otherwise several people will have to be killed on the spot.

The civil affairs officials of Juehua Island have done a really good job, and they are all on the boat according to the village, and there are grassroots officials such as the chief of security, the chief of the first class, and the chief of the lieutenant on board. It has created good conditions for the management of Jinyiwei.

The people got on the boat in a panic, worried that they would have no life after arriving in Tianjin. However, after hearing the words of the Jinyi Guard, their eyes were immediately filled with hope. Because the Jinyi guards said that they could be taken to the capital by the chief of the guard, the chief of the armor, and the chief of the li, to find Zhou Ping, who was in charge of road construction, to be a road construction worker; You can also find Qin Ke, who is in charge of construction, to be a construction worker; You can also find Zheng Shuangping, who is in charge of the towel factory, perfume factory, and soap factory. To be an industrial worker......

After the people retreated, Zhu Youcheng's demolition team immediately came out, demolished the houses they had left behind, transported bricks and wood to the ice, and began to build the "Great Wall".

The next day. Wang Xiaxe, who came to report on the work, saw Jinyiwei's actions, and couldn't help but praise: "Lord Zhu, it's a good method, my previous defense idea was to dig a ditch, I'm afraid that the weather will be cold, and it will freeze as I dig it." Lord Zhu was ingenious and used bricks and ice to build walls, the colder the better. The emperor didn't look at the wrong person, and sure enough, he picked a member of Zhihui to rescue Juehua Island. ”

"Lord Wang praised it, the people lived on the island at that time, where did you find wood, stone and bricks? This official has the emperor's order to evacuate the people, and this is the raw material. By the way, Lord Wang came to the tent, shouldn't he come to praise me, what's wrong? ”

Wang Xiaxe remembered his troubles, and said with a sad face: "Lord Zhu, we can't dig up the boat." The sea water freezes as it is dug and frozen, and the boat cannot get out at all. ”

Zhu Youcheng got up, if there was no boat, he would not be able to evacuate the soldiers on Juehua Island, and the tragedy on Juehua Island would still be happening. Without investigation, there is no right to speak, and before he sees the excavation situation, he can't make nonsense ideas, thinking of this, he followed Wang Xiaxe to the excavation site.

On the sea ice stood a group of dejected soldiers, and there was a large hole dug out in the middle.

"My lord," said Wang Xiaxe, pointing to the big hole, "this was originally a ditch that we dug here, but after a night, the sea surface that had been dug was frozen again, and the ditch became a hole. Only this place where the excavation is being excavated, because the time is too short, has not yet frozen, but it will still freeze in a few hours. ”

"Didn't I say digging overnight? If you don't work hard, sue you, this is your life-saving boat, and if you can't dig up the boat, you will die under the butcher's knife of Jiannu. ”

"We worked very hard," replied one of the soldiers, with a look of grievance, "my lord, because the night was so cold that I froze off one of my fingers when I was digging the trench." ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and sure enough, he lost a finger, fortunately it was the tail finger, otherwise this hand would be completely useless.

Several soldiers also raised their hands, showing their mutilated palms, and said in unison, "My lord, we are not lazy. ”

Wang Xiaxe smiled bitterly and asked, "My lord, God's power is really not comparable to manpower, what should I do now?" (To be continued!)
