Zhu Yongxing gently patted Cai Ming's shoulder, shook his head and sighed. Whether or not the generals under his command can comprehend their combat intentions is only one aspect. More importantly, if he did not come in person, with the official titles and prestige of King Li Jin and King Zhao, the soldiers he sent would inevitably be controlled by others, and the implementation of the battle plan would also be biased.

Therefore, it is not as simple as fighting for fame and establishing prestige in person, Zhu Yongxing also needs to rely on some of his own predictions to lead the development of the battle situation and implement his own ideas. Of course, Cai Ming doesn't understand, and neither do others.

"I won't look at the other workshops and tests, and I'll do things forever, so I can rest assured." Zhu Yongxing praised Cai Ming in disguise, then broke up with Cai Ming, took a few guards to turn over and got on the horse, and under the guidance of a Ming army officer from the Ministry of Military Industry, he galloped for half an hour and came to another place.

This is a flat land, surrounded by bamboo and wood walls, there are many Ming soldiers patrolling, and the guards are quite tight. In the center of the clearing stood several brick walls, some of which were broken and blackened, as if they had been destroyed by an explosion.

That's right, this is the base of the engineer demolition team, which was ordered to dig tunnels and blast the city walls here. Zhu Yongxing has been guiding through letters, but this is the first time he has come here.

As soon as Zhu Yongxing jumped off his horse, Wang Xie, the captain of the engineering corps, led hundreds of men to the team to be reviewed. The soldiers of the engineering corps were basically miners, and all of them were quite burly and sturdy, which could be seen from the thick necks exposed.

Wang Xie's cheekbones were raised, there were some fine wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes were hidden under thick, drooping eyebrows; His shoulders were lifelikely rounded, his neck was hidden inside, and his head seemed to grow straight out of his chest.

Zhu Yongxing smiled and walked slowly past the front of the queue, observing the soldiers one by one. Nod your head in appreciation from time to time. When he walked in front of Wang Xie, he also reached out and patted Wang Xie, feeling the muscles that swelled under Wang Xie's clothes, and couldn't help but feel a little jealous.

"Your Highness, I will bring someone to show you how to blow up the wall." Wang Xie is still an impatient, and he also shows the straightforwardness of a martial artist. Without a second word, let Zhu Yongxing appreciate the blasting.

"There's no hurry." Zhu Yongxing smiled and teased: "Go into the house, let me drink saliva!" ”

"Yes, yes, the last general is reckless, and I ask Your Highness for forgiveness." Wang Xie grinned and hurriedly let Zhu Yongxing into the room next to him.

"Call the backbone of the team and tell me about this blasting method." Zhu Yongxing took the teacup. didn't rush to drink, and said to Wang Xie with a smile: "As long as the method is right, there is no need to demonstrate, and some gunpowder will be saved." ”

Wang Xie was a little disappointed, but he still followed Zhu Yongxing's words and went out to call a few backbones of the team in.

"You don't have to be restrained, there is a pen and paper here, and you can talk as you go." Zhu Yongxing motioned for them all to sit down. I took the pen and paper and pushed it over. Pointing at Wang Xie and said, "You come first." ”

At present, the most effective way to blast the city wall is to dig tunnels and fill gunpowder. Before the invention of new explosives, Zhu Yongxing lacked confidence in external blasting, and the bombing of the city gate was okay, but the effect of the thick city wall was obviously limited.

And Wang Xie said. It is also the experimental result of tunnel blasting. Coupled with the addition of several key personnel, Zhu Yongxing listened very clearly.

The tunnel was dug to the base of the city wall, a square hole was dug out, boxes of gunpowder were filled, and the fuse was drawn out with bamboo poles. The tunnel was closed and ignited and detonated.

is decent, and does not get out of the scope of his own letter guidance, let alone any innovation. Zhu Yongxing was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face. After all, these people have not studied physics, and they lack understanding of the principles of gunpowder explosion and how to increase the power of explosions. In fact, this is also where Zhu Yongxing is distressed, he has no time to popularize scientific knowledge, so he can only temporarily indoctrinate him. In this way, the subordinates know what it is, but they don't know why it is, and it is naturally difficult to generate innovative thinking.

Without an education system in basic disciplines and without the popularization of scientific principles, we can only maintain it in this way. Moreover, in order to form a complete range of systematic education, it is best to start from the baby, which is not a work that can be completed in a few years or more than ten years.

"Yes, you guys did a good job." Zhu Yongxing praised with a smile, this is almost a habit of his, for an emerging team, encouragement can stimulate people's enthusiasm more.

A hint of joy appeared on the faces of Wang Xie and several backbones, obviously quite confident in the power of the blast.

"How do firecrackers explode louder?" Zhu Yongxing asked a question, paused, and then asked himself: "First, there are many medicines; The second is to wrap it tightly and not leak. If there is a hole, it is not a firecracker, but a firework. ”

Wang Xie and the others were puzzled, looked at each other, and moved their eyes to Zhu Yongxing's face.

Zhu Yongxing took the pen and paper, made a few strokes, and said: "If you fill this place with gunpowder, and then block it with bricks and stones, and then close the tunnel, the power of the blasting should be greater." This is also somewhat similar to firecrackers, that is, try not to leave holes. ”

This is a small improvement, moving the original gunpowder filling area horizontally and filling the void with masonry. In this way, it is better to seal, and the explosion gas is surrounded by thick earth, and then the gunpowder is filled into a concave surface to make it as hard as possible to blast the city wall, and the effect of blasting the city wall will be more significant.

"Your Highness." A backbone of an engineer team tentatively asked, "If we collapse the tunnel, we will push the collapsed soil away when it explodes, will this situation be avoided?" ”

The tunnel blasting of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom mostly used the collapse of the tunnel to form a closed medicine room, and Zhu Yongxing's improvement was better, preventing the leakage of medicine to the greatest extent. Of course, what this backbone said is also very correct.

"Yes, that's it." Zhu Yongxing drew a few arrows on the paper to indicate the direction of the impact of the explosive gas, explained in detail, and used another analogy to make everyone more clear, "This gunpowder explosion is like a rout on the battlefield, where the blockage is loose and where it is wide, it will rush in which direction." If the firecrackers are made with iron pipes, the two ends are still plugged with mud, you say, what will it look like after they are lit? ”

"Then, that's supposed to be spraying at both ends, right?" Wang Xie scratched his head, thinking about the strange appearance of firecrackers, and after getting Zhu Yongxing's affirmation, his eyes slowly lit up.

Zhu Yongxing felt that it was almost over, so he drank tea leisurely. Let these people digest and understand and discuss the best way to perfect the blasting. He only interjected a few words once in a while, mentioning them. He was pleased that these people not only had a new understanding of blasting, but were also familiar with digging tunnels, fast and good.

Knowing one's own situation and that of the enemy. in order to survive a hundred battles. Zhu Yongxing felt that the trip was worthwhile, and through his in-depth understanding of weapons and equipment and blasting the city, he was able to arrange the counteroffensive plan more perfectly, and he also had stronger confidence in victory.

……………

The scenery around the sand bar is picturesque. In the mountain, there are silver waterfalls, rattan bridges, cloud mountains, wind caves, heavenly gates, water palace caves and other scenic spots. Although it has not yet been developed, it is full of natural beauty.

Zhu Yongxing ran around, checked and pointed, naturally it was not good to always take women with him. Mengzhu and Long'er are surrounded by their own guards and maids. Just play in this beautiful world. Obviously, if you are too happy to play, this body is a little unbearable.

The night is fresh and bright. In front of the window was a row of willow trees, which looked black on one side and had a silvery glow on the other. A little further behind the dark tree was a leafy tree with snow-white branches, and above the tree was a gray, almost starless sky. There is also a shining moon that will be round.

Zhu Yongxing read Mengzhu's letter and signed it. When I looked up, the girl was rubbing her legs and feet with a bitter face.

"Tired, aren't you? Playing so crazy. Zhu Yongxing packed up the letter, got up and walked over, reached out and gently patted her back and shoulders, beat her for a while, and then rubbed her arms. Then he squatted down again, pinching her legs and feet.

Mengzhu felt sore from being pinched and kneaded at first, but soon felt a strange pleasure.

Zhu Yongxing's technique was still a little rusty at the beginning, and the strength was not well mastered. After operating for a while, he became more and more proficient. Sometimes with a solid fist, sometimes with a hollow fist, sometimes with an empty and a solid, sometimes with a fist, sometimes into a nest palm, the speed of the change is more and more suitable.

Uh-huh, Mengzhu's eyes were half-closed, humming softly, so comfortable that she seemed to be sleepy.

Zhu Yongxing pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but miss the eunuch Zhao Guowei's pleasant massage technique, he reached out and put Mengzhu on the back of the chair, hugged her waist and lifted it up, so that her waist socket and lower spine also felt soft.

Two soft arms came around, Mengzhu took advantage of the situation to wrap her arms around his neck, and whispered greasy to his ear: "It's so comfortable, Your Highness will still have this hand, but which woman will it leave it to when it is hidden deeply?" ”

"Isn't that just for you? It was originally used to prepare the cave room, right? Zhu Yongxing smiled and rubbed Mengzhu's somewhat hot and tender face, pinched a few handfuls on the girl's waist and buttocks, and slapped it on the little buttocks.

Mengzhu sighed, hugged tighter, and clinged closer. A warm fragrance unique to a girl surrounded Zhu Yongxing, exhaling like an orchid, gently spraying next to his ears and face.

Confused, Zhu Yongxing kissed the shy beauty in his arms affectionately, from the earlobe to the face, and finally stayed on the moist red lips. He sucked, sucked, and slurred; Then he opened his teeth and teased his soft little tongue.

Mengzhu's gaze was blurred, intoxicated by the intimacy of this love, and slowly, her fragrant tongue also moved stiffly, entangled and stirred, hugging Zhu Yongxing's neck tighter.

Time seemed to have stopped, and it seemed as if only the two of them were left in heaven and earth. I don't know how long it took, the two of them hugged and kissed, and they were tired of the bed.

The clothes slipped down, smooth and round shoulders, white and towering twin peaks, flat and solid lower abdomen, and slender and white jade legs...... Zhu Yongxing was intoxicated and sprinkled a scorching kiss all over Ah Zhu's jade-like body, and the warm, delicate, smooth, and moist feeling made him almost crazy.

Mengzhu's eyes were like silk, and she panted and pulled a towel quilt indiscriminately, covering her face, covering her reserve and shyness, and also handed herself all over to the man she loved, and took it away.

Zhu Yongxing's lips and hands wandered on the silky, satin-smooth skin, and the soft and boneless snow-white carcass trembled slightly. Reason had flown away, the embankment of morality began to collapse, and he was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself and slowly pressed up.

With a short and tactful moan, Mengzhu's beautiful neck leaned back suddenly, and on a blushing pretty face, the willow eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the starry eyes were closed, and the teeth were bitten lightly. The soft jade arms like snow lotus roots were stiff and tense at first, and the slender hands clutched the quilt tightly. After a long time, he slowly let go and hugged Zhu Yongxing's neck, hugging so tightly, so tightly......

Give it a hug. screamed, and I didn't feel that my heart was also excited, and I was happy and ashamed, and I lost my soul, and it was hard to earn my strength. I'm not used to friendship, I'm not used to friendship, and my heart can't help but flutter. The enemy is very romantic. There is no seam in the hug. Sweaty chest, sweaty chest, hugging each other to express their heartfelt feelings, whispering to him, you move gently.

The clouds disappeared and the rain stopped, and the two did not separate for a long time, snuggling together and staring at each other. Skin to skin, body temperature transmission, affection blending. At this time, words are superfluous.

Zhu Yongxing gently brushed away the wet hair on Mengzhu's forehead, hugged the soft and smooth carcass lovingly, and said softly: "Aifei, Azhu, my baby, you are my woman." ”

"Your Highness, husband." Mengzhu rested her head on Zhu Yongxing's shoulder. rubbed it lightly and said in a low voice: "The concubine is your woman." Always. ”

Zhu Yongxing was very happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's better to hurry up and get married, and don't next year." ”

Meng Zhujiao laughed and said, "Then wait for His Highness to go out and win." Now in the name of a female official, she can still follow Her Royal Highness, if she becomes a princess. But it's inconvenient. ”

"You're very thoughtful." Zhu Yongxing stroked Mengzhu's silky back and muttered wistfully: "Maybe after winning this battle, I don't have to be there in person for every battle." I also want to accompany you more, and when I wait until next year, I will definitely take you to see the sea. Build a villa by the sea. Watch the sunrise and sunset, catch the sea and listen to the tide, and raft to chase the waves......"

Mengzhu listened quietly, his hand caressing Zhu Yongxing's broad chest, feeling unprecedented happiness and joy. It is really the greatest joy in life to have a man who loves himself, to accompany each other in that picturesque beauty, to whisper and to rely on each other.

The night grew quieter, and the soft moonlight poured in. The mosquito net hung low, whispered continuously, and even the chirping of flies and insects seemed to become extremely gentle, for fear of disturbing the man and woman who were immersed in the deep affection.

*********************************************************************

It feels so good to be refreshed, and the harmony of yin and yang turns out to have such a great effect; Conquering a woman turns out to make a man have such a strong self-confidence.

Zhu Yongxing rode on the horse, tilted his head slightly, and met the little face exposed in front of the carriage window, although he was speechless, he could know the feelings and meanings through a shallow smile.

Not far in front is Lao Cai, the main junction of Yunnan Province and Annam, where there is the Red River transportation line, and Zhu Yongxing has decided to set up his headquarters here. It can take care of both the occupied area of Annam and the Yuanjiang River.

Ma Bao, the king of Ruyang, as the commander-in-chief, has already come to Lao Cai first. Ma Weixing, the Duke of the Yuanjiang Small Staff Regiment, was ordered to return, and after he had made a report to Zhu Yongxing, he would rush to Anpei to take charge of the army to defend the Zheng clan in Annan.

It was already mid-August, and there were less than two months left before the Yuanjiang uprising in September and October and the counteroffensive in western Yunnan, and the time was quite tight.

As soon as Zhu Yongxing arrived in Laojie, he sent some Ming troops with him to Yuanjiang, and carried a few mines and grenades. These Ming officers and soldiers will serve as the second batch of instructors, and immediately after arriving in Yuanjiang, they will devote themselves to the work of training native soldiers to familiarize themselves with the new weapons.

Ma Weixing, the Duke of Syria, reported to Zhu Yongxing on the specific preparations of Yuanjiang, as well as the latest progress of Na Song's contact with the generals of the Southern Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty and various Tusi, as well as the rough plan formulated by the small staff department.

Sun Yingdou, Lai Shixun, Gao Yingfeng, the chief soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, Yan Bo Zhu Yangen, Xu Mingchen, the chief soldier of Shiping, and Tuguanlong praised. These names Zhu Yongxing have an impression, and there are records in history, and they are indeed the people who participated in the Yuanjiang Uprising. This shows that the course of the Yuanjiang Incident has not completely departed from the trajectory of history, or that it has not changed much. Some other names, Zhu Yongxing is relatively unfamiliar, such as Xu Jiagui, Ma Bingzhong, etc.

“…… The Yuanjiang clan is already rich and powerful, and has the support of His Royal Highness, and the generals and all the Tusi of the Qing Dynasty have the heart to return to the right, once there is an incident, they will inevitably respond to the ......"

Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly, the success of the crusade against Annan will undoubtedly have an impact in the eastern region. The Ming army supported later, and his own clan could also be rewarded if he stayed behind, which would of course bring favorable conditions for Yuanjiang Nasong's four contacts.

“…… The Governor of Nasong was generous to the people, and the people under his rule were extremely supportive, and he summoned tens of thousands of people to dig deep trenches, strengthen the city, and erect pontoon bridges to stop the forced crossing of ......"

Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly, in history, after the Qing army broke through the Yuanjiang River, tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed, and then slaughtered and burned in the surrounding areas, and tens of thousands of people were killed, and the total number of victims reached more than 100,000. According to such a calculation, it should not be very difficult for Na Song to gather tens of thousands of people. With so many people involved in the construction, the city defense of Yuanjiang should be well repaired and reinforced.

“…… The governor and the last general repeatedly discussed, and a general plan had been decided: troops could be stationed in Laowushan in the northwest of Yuanjiang City for foreign aid, and an ambush could be set up in Dazhujing...... Anyway, the generals captured Shiping, and sent another army to attack and plunder Lin'an and Mengzi, and the beacons were everywhere south of Kunming, making the Qing army ......stumble left and right."

Zhu Yongxing frowned slightly, if it weren't for the development of the history of Zhilu Dao, he would have praised this arrangement. However, he already knows the failure of the Yuanjiang Uprising in the history of Lu Dao, and no matter whether history changes or not, he must pick up the gaps and avoid omissions.

When the Qing army suppressed the Yuanjiang Nasong anti-Qing uprising, it was out of Kunming, through the sea, through the Qujiang Station, first occupying Shiping, and then approaching the Yuanjiang River, and the most Lu appeared in the northeast direction of Yuanjiang City. Zhu Yongxing's fingers swiped on the map, and after the last stop, he stopped at Laowu Mountain, drew a circle on Dazhujing, and shook his head gently. (To be continued......)
