Chapter 129: Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty

How can there be a redcoat cannon?

Yes, it is impossible for Zhu Di to have only one red-coated cannon in his army. At the beginning, Luo Shicheng and I went to destroy only one of them. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the red-coated cannon weighed hundreds of tons, and it was extremely difficult to transport. Zhu Di was in a hurry to attack the capital Nanjing, and the red-coated artillery was definitely in the way. If it weren't for the fact that Jinan City couldn't be captured for a long time, he wouldn't have brought the red-clothed cannon over.

As a result, the previous redcoat cannon was blown up by me before it could be fired, and now he has transferred another one. It's really not a city of Jinan, and I will never give up.

I have to take a look at this, if it really hits, Jinan City will be Zhu Di's tomorrow. All that grain happened to be cheaper for the Northern Army. After calming down, I thought that if Jinan City fell, how would Wuchen and I escape with our two female dependents. Let's help Tie Hyun hold on for a while.

Luo Shicheng rode first and took the guards to the north city wall first. Wuchen and I have to stay and bury Li Shan's body first.

"Why don't you use cremation, it's faster. And you are digging a hole in the Lu family's house to bury the corpse, have you ever wondered if the owner's family will feel unlucky. ”

"Yes. When Li Shan buried his bones, he also used peach wood to mend his hands and feet. Now the situation is urgent, and the prosthetic leg cannot be found for a while. Let's keep it for now,"

Wuchen didn't say why he didn't cremate Li Shan. I was in a hurry to see Zhu Di's red-clothed cannon, so I didn't get to the bottom of it.

By the time Wuchen and I ran to the upper floor of Beicheng, there were already a lot of people gathered there. Everyone was looking at the scene below the tower. Brightly lit, hundreds of soldiers fiddled with a few shelves there.

The soldiers in the city pointed and pointed as if they didn't know what was going on.

"Brother Mu, what are so many soldiers fiddling with such a big shelf. Is that the red-coated cannon?"

"Look, over there, there are a few copper bumps lying on the ground, and that's the red-coated cannon. The soldier was fiddling with the gun mount, which was used to place the cannon body. ”

I just saw the cannon on the ground, and I was shocked. The cannon on the ground is thicker than the one I blew up earlier. And when I counted, there were seven. Seven gates, each fired a cannon, and the walls of Jinan City collapsed. Zhu Di was really angry, and he didn't hesitate to move so many red-clothed cannons.

I just don't know if this is all of Zhu Di's red-clothed cannons.

"Gun carriage?"

"It's okay, tomorrow they'll set up the cannon, you'll see. ”

"Can this thing really blast the gates open? It must be at least forty or fifty feet from here, what kind of flying locust stone can be so powerful. ”

"This cannon is different from the Flying Locust Stone, and I can't explain it to you. ”

"Brother Mu, how do you know so much about this thing?"

"Before, I went out of the city with that Luo Shicheng in Jinan City to attack the camp of the Northern Army and destroyed a red-clothed cannon. ”

Looking at Wuchen's disbelieving eyes and his slightly adoring expression, I still felt a sense of accomplishment in my heart.

"Mr. Mu Wu, you also saw that this Yan King got another red-clothed cannon, and this time we never had a chance to destroy the cannon in front of the battle. When Tie Xuan saw me go up to the tower, he came up to me and said, "Is there any way you can save our northern gate from shelling?"

"This ...... I'm also poor in donkey skills, and I have no way to deal with it. Lord Tie also saw that this cannon was already ready to fly, and I am afraid that only God could stop it. ”

"If it rains heavily tonight and their gunpowder is wetted, their cannons won't work. Luo Shicheng said.

"That's just a delaying tactic, the rain will stop, the gunpowder will dry up, and it can be used again. "Tie Xuan now has the meaning of a frightened bird.

"That will only keep the soldiers away from the northern wall. This red-coated cannon may not be able to hit somewhere, and it will not be good to be injured by this cannon when the time comes. "I said a joke, and it was out of anger. How many things I've done for them these days, from saving the souls of soldiers to finding food. It can be said that without me, Jinan City would have been captured long ago.

"It seems that Jinan City will be captured by Zhu Di tomorrow. Tie Xuan was not only frightened, but also desperate, "It's just a pity that Mr. Mu Wu and the Dustless Dao Master found us tens of thousands of catties of food." ”

Fortunately, he still has a bit of a conscience, and remembers that we worked tirelessly for four nights in a row to help him get food.

I'm wondering if Tie Hyun can come up with a countermeasure to deal with this red-coated cannon. The history books say that Tie Hyun came up with a bad move. When Zhu Di opened fire, he ordered people to hang a portrait of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of Gaozu on the city wall, and also put out a tablet with the words "Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty".

In fact, these are all superstitious ideological things, Zhu Yuanzhang has long since died, and Zhu Yuanzhang is painted on a piece of paper, so it is Zhu Yuanzhang on the city tower. Zhu Di is also yes, he doesn't think about it the other way, if Tie Xuan has been hanging his father's spiritual seat on the city wall, is it unfilial to attack the city.

I now think that this ploy has a bit of a theatrical flavor. First of all, Zhu Di is not a person who is bound by rules and regulations, as evidenced by the fact that he dares to cooperate with Dongying people. Therefore, Tie Xuan hung a portrait of Zhu Yuanzhang on the head of the city, and he didn't dare to open fire, so he couldn't say anything.

But now it seems that there is no chance of a hard attack, and you can only outwit. I was bound by history, and the only thing I could think of was the trick of hanging on the throne of the ancestors. I can only hope that Tie Xuan will also think of this trick, and Zhu Di will still eat this set.

"Dustless, let's go. ”

"Brother Mu, I really want to see what they look like when they set up the red-clothed cannon. "Wuchen is very interested in the red-coated cannon downstairs in the city.

"Do you want to see how it blew the city gate open?" I kicked him, "Let's go, find a place for Li Shan to bury first." ”

"Oh. ”

"Lord Tie, Wuchen and I are going to bury Li Shan's bones, and he has a wish. ”

"Mr. Mu Wu, General Luo has already told me. It is not known whether death is a relief for Master Li. There is Mr. Lao Muwu. ”

"Does Lord Tie have a way to crack this red-clothed cannon?"

"This ...... Hey, I'm afraid there's no way to crack it. Maybe it would be better to open the gates and surrender. ”

"That's ...... I won't bother Lord Tie next, and I'll take my leave first. ”

After greeting Tie Xuan, I went back to the Lu family's mansion with Wuchen. We wrapped Li Shan's body in a mat and placed it in the corner of the courtyard. When I went back to the original place, there was only a mat left on the ground, but the body was gone.

"Brother Mu, where is this Li Shan's corpse?"

"Where do I know, hurry up and look in the yard. ”

After searching for a long time, he did not find the body. This is strange, not many people know about Li Shan's body, and what is the use of taking Li Shan's body at this time.

"What should I do? I can't find it. ”

"If his body is not buried, will it have an impact on his reincarnation?"

"A man dies like a lamp goes out. The soul enters the six realms of reincarnation, and the corpse is a skin, which has little effect. Wuchen explained, "It's just that when Li Shan was leaving, he was obsessed with his corpse. I'm afraid it's not easy to walk on the bridge. ”

"Do you believe in the bridge too?"

"It's just something from myths and legends, and that's what I'll say, to describe it. ”

It seems that Wuchen didn't care too much about Li Shan's body being missing. If it doesn't work, it's because his rats are reluctant, and maybe they will carry his body away. However, the door of the Lu family's mansion is closed, and the rat will not be able to climb over the wall with a corpse. The more I thought about it, the more questions I had, the more confused my mind became, and I still didn't want to.

"Let's go, go back. I said to Wuchen, "Back to the prefect's yamen, we are still calculating how to escape from the chaos when Zhu Di breaks through the city gate." ”

"Brother Mu, you really don't plan to help Lord Tie defend against the enemy?"

"They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and we should not add fuel to the fire when we are caught in the middle. What you told me earlier made me feel a lot of emotion. Although I am not a member of the Daomen, I still have this kindness. There is a way to defend against the enemy, but I don't know if it's good or not, and I don't know what I'm sure of, and I didn't mention it in front of Lord Tie. ”

Actually, I'm a little insincere when I say this, I don't care if I pour oil or not. As long as I don't see the misery of cannibalism, I don't have any compassion.

"But...... If we help Lord Tie defend Jinan City, won't we have to think about escaping? ”

This kid doesn't want to get out of this civil strife now. That's what he said, that's what I thought at the beginning. Why don't you tell Tie Xuan about the plan to hang the spirit seat?

When I arrived at the prefect's yamen, it was already four watches, and the sky was about to dawn. Then he saw that the inside of the yamen was brightly lit and bustling. When the two of us walked in, we saw that in the compound of the prefect's yamen, dozens of craftsmen were busy doing carpentry there.

That's right, they are doing the spiritual position, the spiritual position of Emperor Gaozu. Generally, the spiritual position is only one foot long and three inches wide, but the craftsmen are now making a divine position that is one zhang high and one meter wide. Some craftsmen are splicing, some are lacquering, and some are writing.

The word is the nine big characters of "Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty".
