Chapter 273: The fee for doing dirty work is quite high
Cannons were fired on the head of Zhoushan City, and the angry voices of the people on the city wall could be heard in the sound of the cannons.
Sure enough, he was born in a pirate family, it's too immoral, and the two armies don't kill each other, it's all common sense, but why blatantly detaine? !
In the face of the artillery bombardment, Zheng Jiajun was a little flustered at first--but quickly stabilized, and sure enough, their position, the cannonballs could not hit, and the iron ball stopped after seeing that it was rolling on the sand for a certain distance--Zheng Jiajun's soldiers were not afraid, and they did not want to climb the city wall.
Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian waved his hand at that time and said, "Set up camp!" I'll talk about it in the evening—"
Zheng Jiajun set up camp outside Zhoushan City at that time.
The people on the city wall saw that the soldiers of the Zheng family unhurriedly nailed a stake more than a person high on the sand, which seemed to be brought by themselves, and after nailing it down, it began to look like hanging wires - the people on the city wall immediately understood that there was such a simple fence in the world!
Then they began to set up their tents, and soon they were set up before it was dark, and they looked orderly from a distance, and in the darkness they seemed to be beginning to cook in pots
At this time, Zheng Lian, Marquis of Dingyuan, recruited all his generals and held a meeting in the Chinese army's big tent. A candle the thickness of a child's arm illuminates the tent very brightly.
Dingyuan Hou Zheng thought about the meeting of the advisory group, and felt that he couldn't learn it - he simply ignored it.
He first asked, "Have you all instructed the brothers?" ”
A partial general replied: "Obey the orders of Yongshengbo and Dingyuanhou, the little one has been instructed many times, there are three no's to the common people, no murder, no robbery, and no adultery - those who violate it will be killed!" ”
"That's great, the commandos are ready, right?"
Another general replied: "Both commandos are ready, but when it gets late, according to the pre-agreement, the city will come to pay respects."
"Hmph, the people in the city, they must think that we will attack the main gate tomorrow morning - tonight, we will definitely take Zhoushan City!"
A sound of affirmation rang out in the tent.
In the original official palace of Huang Binqing, a candle the thickness of a child's arm was also lit - King Lu Jianguo and his civil and military officials were also holding a meeting, but this meeting had been going on for a long time - everyone had said a lot, and a way should be come up.
Zhang Huangyan, the right attendant of the military department, first concluded: "General Zhang Mingzhen once wanted to serve him with great righteousness, but the people of the Zheng family did not listen, turned their faces and detained him, and his Zheng family has already lost its righteousness - we still have 3,000 elite soldiers in our hands, several artillery pieces, high city walls, enough food in the city, and several wells, and after the Zheng family besieges for a few days, they will be exhausted, and then the Zheng family may grab some fishermen's things indiscriminately, so they will also retreat——"
After hearing this, King Lu clapped his hands happily and said, "Ah, you don't have to panic, Zhang Shilang's words are reasonable!" ”
After hearing this, the scholar Zhang Kentang shook his head and said, "Looking at their banners and letters, I'm afraid it won't be so simple—"
The sound of happiness in the hall fell silent for a moment.
"Judging from that letter, the two thieves they mentioned, after verification, are indeed the people of Zhoushan - they are also famous teachers, if it is just to take a breath, it seems that there is no need to work far away, and the military funds spent this time cannot be a small amount, the situation in Zhoushan at this time - presumably they can also understand our predicament, then why are they so enthusiastic - is it really 'the side of the Qing monarch, the king of Lu'?"
Everyone said in a loud voice: "No, it must not be." ”
"Then, early tomorrow morning, let King Lu Jianguo come to the city in person, presumably under the heavenly authority of King Lu Jianguo, the people of the Zheng family will definitely say their true intentions-"
After hearing this, King Lu nodded seriously and said: "Reasonable, what Scholar Zhang said is very reasonable, and when it is broad daylight tomorrow, I will ask carefully, I will definitely be able to figure out the reason, and then I will make a decision——"
The crowd agreed.
King Lu Jianguo just wanted to say that the meeting was dismissed, and then a few more reassuring words -- only to hear a loud "boom" outside, and everyone was stunned at that time -- when they reacted and wanted to say something, there was another loud "boom", and King Lu Jianguo almost sat on the ground in fright.
The two of them led two assault teams respectively, divided into left and right directions, quietly found the weakest place in the city wall, buried several explosives under the root of the wall, and lit the fuse when the moon rose in the sky.
Those two city walls were the places that the craftsmen had been looking for for a long time, and sure enough, they were the weakest places, and with the sound of explosions, the two sections of the city walls collapsed in response.
Under the bright moon, the Zheng family's soldiers divided into two ways and went straight to the two gaps.
At this time, when the dust fell to the ground at the gap, the two commandos immediately took out the greased cloth from their backpacks, struck matches and led them, and threw them into the gap without stopping, so that the gap was illuminated and there was no darkness.
When the Zheng family army reached the gap, Zheng Lian, the Marquis of Dingyuan, suddenly thought: "Ah, it's not too late to bomb it during the day - although it is conducive to attacking the city at night, there will be more casualties, this, this is not cost-effective, it seems that it is really necessary to have a staff department-"
So he urgently ordered that it was better to hold the gap now, not to enter the city, and wait until dawn!
Zheng Jiajun was very accustomed to such random orders and immediately complied.
There is a Cold War phenomenon at the gap, and neither side is close to the gap - except that one side is active and the other is passive.
At the gap, from time to time there was a bowstring sound, the sound of a row of muskets, and a scream.
For these voices, Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian didn't pay any attention to it - he sat on a stone, holding a waist knife in one hand and a porcelain vase in the other, tasting the Zhang family's hundred years of loneliness one bite after another, and suddenly remembered the pig's hand in the red market rice family, it tasted really good-I don't know why, he was not as happy as he imagined the victory in front of him, to be honest, it didn't mean anything.
Under the moonlight, Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian looked like a thinker, but no one knew what he was thinking.
No one is destined to sleep tonight -
The city was already in chaos, and the people could only close the dilapidated gates, and perhaps the family was shaking in their arms.
On the streets, the soldiers ran back and forth, listening to all kinds of orders, they narrowed their defenses, and now they could only use the former Huang Binqing's official mansion as a protective center, laying barricades in the surrounding streets and ambushing some archers.
I wanted to recapture the gap, but the Zheng family army did not capture it, but just cast fire guns from afar, and rows of bullets came, they had little effect, and lost hundreds of lives in vain - Ruan Jin, the deputy general of the 6th Shui Dynasty, discussed with the dynasty, and the Zheng family army did not dare to come in at night, presumably because they were worried that there was an ambush in the city, why not take this opportunity to withdraw all their troops, and wait until dawn tomorrow - it is impossible to escape overnight, many family members are here, where do they flee?! As long as the king of Lu comes forward tomorrow in person, he may be able to solve the current situation.
The morning of the next day, which both sides were looking forward to, came as promised.
Both sides didn't seem to be sleeping, they were all keeping their eyes on and pretending to sleep, but Zheng Jiajun was better--they had breakfast--the people in front were staring, and the people in the back were cooking in a cauldron--At the beginning, Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian had seen the so-called marching food of the Han and Tang groups, and after tasting it once, he understood what it was all about, although he certainly didn't understand what calories were, but this method was really easy to learn--I don't understand what you said about the extruder, and I didn't understand what the steam drying equipment was, but we had Shilu and a cauldron--I didn't understand what you were talking about.
The Zheng family army began to attack, and they shouted one, two, three, and began to rectify.
The morning fog on the island had become a little heavier, and the high-pitched shouts were now farther away—listening to their shouting slogans, and all kinds of rumbling noises, the soldiers in Zhoushan City began to be a little frightened—not like their opponents before—strange, and they had firearms—and there were still a lot of them.
Suddenly, there was a loud noise, as if the whole fog had begun to fluctuate.
"Listen up, brothers, we are here to save you! Put down your weapons, we will never kill indiscriminately, Dingyuan Marquis is benevolent, the city wall was broken last night, why don't we move forward again?! I'm afraid that breaking into the city will hurt the innocent!!
The Marquis of Dingyuan is so righteous, but he was almost assassinated by the villain of Zhoushan, my Zheng family is out of righteous indignation, the Qing monarch side, the king of Yinglu, is by no means rebellious - if you are driven to oppose me, he must be the main messenger! It must be a Tartar spy!!
Brothers, listen up—"
Shouting over and over again, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush were really confused, what was going on?
Ruan Jin and Wang Chao also looked at each other - they didn't know what to do, and let each other's loud voices shout repeatedly.
The sun slowly rose and the fog began to dissipate.
Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "Those who stand in my way must be Tartar captives and spies, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" ”
"Those who stand in my way will be Tartar spies, and there will be no mercy!"
Those who have practiced shouting slogans are different from those who have not practiced shouting slogans, and this shouting in unison has made Zheng Jiajun's sense of justice rise exponentially, and the resistance army on the opposite side is even more helpless.
Zheng Jiajun marched forward - the archers of the Resistance Army immediately felt weak as soon as they put on the bowstring - where could the cortical bowstring work well on a morning on an island with a humidity of up to 80 percent?
The archers jumped up and ran, and when the others saw them, they caught up.
Zheng Jiajun advanced with noisy footsteps.
In the later war records, the advisory group of the Han and Tang groups suspected that the process recorded by Zheng Lian, Marquis of Dingyuan, was exaggerated, and even doubted whether he had watched the Peking opera "Fighting the Dragon Robe".
In his records, there are some relevant episodes - after checking the information, I learned that there could not have been this play in the late Ming Dynasty.
At the last moment, King Lu Jianguo took the responsibility on himself, thinking that His Majesty was not careful, so he cut off a corner of his clothes with the sword in his hand - he, Zheng Lian, the righteous and awe-inspiring Marquis of Dingyuan, immediately gave up his previous suspicions, expressed his past guilt, and personally stepped forward to welcome King Lu Jianguo down the palace wall - many great civil and military ministers and cadres were all packed on the ship, and many soldiers took various warships and left this lonely island.
The members of the advisory group felt that there was still a lot of incomprehensibility in this record.
Su Bo asked, "Why did you directly let people storm the dock, or was it within the range of the artillery?" Won't it be a detour? Losing so many people in vain. ”
Zheng Lian, Marquis of Dingyuan, replied happily: "If I didn't have the courage to rush up against the artillery, I would have been fucking distracted a long time ago - I will have a tough battle in the future!" ”
"You pushed the marching cannon up and only knocked down a section of the wall - and they surrendered?!"
"Haha, of course not. As soon as I talked about the righteousness of the country, they all figured it out. ”
"Then you don't have it in your records, I said I wanted them all."
"Yes, I talked too much at the time, and the secretary can't remember it, and now he's reminiscing in the barracks - I'll make it up in two days."
"Don't talk nonsense to me, if you ask me to be an instructor, you have to trust me, or you won't be able to play."
"Of course, my Lao Zheng never talks nonsense-"
Su Bo asked again: "That scholar can jump off the wall of the mansion from a height of less than three meters, and he can also be crushed?" ”
Dingyuan Marquis Zheng Lian said sadly: "At that time, he couldn't stop it, he fell headlong and grabbed the ground with his head——"
"What about Ruan Jin? Can you fall overboard on the boat? He's also from the navy, right? ”
Zheng Lian, Marquis of Dingyuan, said sadly: "Yes, he was wearing an iron armor weighing seventy catties at that time, and asked him to take it off, but he didn't take it off - this happened." ”
"Well, believe it or not, that's true."
"What about the food I'm waiting for? This time there was a lot of consumption, and at that time, you had to obey the requirements of the Hantang Group and give priority to helping the people, which was all stipulated by you. ”
"Okay, I'll report back, and we'll always admit what we've said."
The Hantang Group felt afterwards that these ancients were not stupid, they did some dirty work and asked for a lot.
