The third day of the fourth month.

"Uncle, Weihe has thawed."

"Our sailor can finally pull out."

Geng Jimao rushed into Tianjin Weishui Village.

Kong Youde, who was drinking a little wine, glanced at Geng Jimao: "Big nephew, haven't you always been afraid of Ming Dog?" Why is it uncharacteristic this time, so anxious to go to Dagukou? ”

"Uncle, this is different." Geng Jimao waved his hand and said.

"The little nephew is not afraid of Minggou, but Chongzhen, the old dog."

"But now Chongzhen is not in Dagukou, and the Ming army in Dagukou is just a lone army without backup, this is a good time for you and me to make contributions."

"It's just a big deal, how much credit can it have?"

Kong Youde shook his head and said: "And it is Yan Yingyuan who guards the mouth of Dagu, this person once defeated the ten kings in Shanyang, and he may not be easier to deal with than Chongzhen, so it is really a blessing and misfortune to go to Dagukou." ”

"If I have a choice, I really don't want to go, uncle."

"Isn't it good to have a little wine at home? Isn't it beautiful to make a baby with a wife and concubine? ”

"Uncle, how have you become the same as Uncle Kexi, except for sleeping with your wife and concubine, you have nothing else to do, and you have already given birth to more than 20 boys and daughters, it's not enough, and you still work hard."

"Boy, that's because you didn't meet a good woman, you didn't taste it."

Speaking of this, Kong Youde smacked his lips twice, and said with some envy: "If you want to talk about good women in this world, I have seen a lot of your uncle, and there are not many people who can be regarded as high-quality, but there are not many superlative." ”

"Uncle, are you drinking high, can a woman still distinguish the best of the best?"

"Boy, you don't understand this, women are not the same as women."

"Let's just say that our Empress Dowager Zhuang of the Qing Dynasty is undoubtedly a first-class woman."

Speaking of this, Kong Youde lowered his voice and said: "Big nephew, let's talk about this behind closed doors today, don't talk about it everywhere with a big mouth, otherwise your uncle will be miserable." ”

"Uncle, what do you think of me?"

Geng Jimao said abruptly: "Can I be that kind of person? ”

"I know that your kid has a strict mouth, that's why my uncle told you this."

Kong Youde smiled and said: "However, there are more superb women than Empress Dowager Zhuang, and there are two, one is Fan Wencheng's house-filling, your uncle and I were fortunate to see it once, and I saw this side, and almost didn't hook away your uncle's soul, that is really a peerless stunner with smoke and eyes." ”

"Could it be the one who made the Ten Kings angry?" Geng Jimao's heart ignited the fire of gossip.

"Yes, that's the one." Kong Youde said with a low smile, "Big nephew, look, this one has already entered the eyes of the Ten Kings, and sooner or later he will be the forbidden body of the Ten Kings." ”

Geng Jimao asked again: "Which one is the other one?" ”

"The other one is Wu Sangui's concubine, but I haven't seen this, I've just heard about it."

Kong Youde said with a low smile: "However, this person can be snatched up by Wu Sangui, Liu Zongmin and even Li Zicheng, so it can be seen that she is also a first-class beauty." ”

"You say Chen Yuanyuan? That's a kiln girl. ”

Geng Jimao lost interest for an instant, and said: "Uncle, let's get down to business, Yan Yingyuan is actually not as powerful as you think, the reason why the Ten Kings suffered defeat in Shanyang is mainly because of the light enemy." ”

"But this time, neither the Nine Kings nor we can underestimate the enemy."

"So, why should a mere Yan Yingyuan be afraid? Let's hurry up and take the sailor over, it's too late, maybe the green camp has already been won, and we won't have a chance to make meritorious contributions. ”

"Alright, let's go." Kong Youde reluctantly got up.

Of course, this is not because of Geng Jimao's repeated urging.

But because Dolgon had already issued a holy decree, just waiting for the Wei River to thaw, the sailor needed to rush to Dagukou as soon as possible, without a moment's delay, Kong Youde did not dare to disobey Dolgon's will.

The two walked out of the gate, only to see that the nearly 200 warships of the sailor were already ready to go.

The Jiannu Sailor was formed by the merger of a part of the Dengzhou Sailor brought by Geng Zhongming, and a part of the Dongjiang Sailor brought by Shang Kexi and Kong Youde, and its main force was the Sailor brought over by Kong Youde.

Therefore, Kong Youde is the admiral of the navy, and Geng Zhongming and Shang Kexi can only be the chief soldier.

However, Monk Geng Zhongming rarely asked the water master, but just let Monk Geng Jimao take care of it.

In total, there were less than 200 warships in the Jiannu Naval Division, half of which were bird ships with 400 materials, and the remaining half of the warships were Haicang ships and Cangshan ships with only 200 or even 100 materials.

Again, the equipment of the Jiannu Water Division is also relatively backward.

The bird boat of the Daming Navy Division is already equipped with a red-coated cannon as standard, but the main equipment of the Jiannu Sailor Division is still only a Franco cannon and a bowl-mouth gun, and it has not been replaced with a red-coated cannon until now.

Each of the 400 bird ships was armed with eight Fran cannons.

The Lincang ship or the Cangshan ship only had three or five Franc cannons.

This time, the troops were sent to Dagukou, and the Jiannu sailors could be said to have poured out.

Although it was a headwind from Tianjin Wei to Dagukou, it was a smooth water, coupled with the implementation of the rocking oar, it took less than three hours to arrive at the Jiannu camp five miles outside Dagukou.

Hearing that the sailor had arrived, Dorgon himself brought someone to greet him.

Dolgon has rarely done such a trick since he became regent of his father, but today Dolgon deigned to come out of camp to the river to greet him.

"Slave Kong Youde/Geng Jimao/Shang Keyi knock to see the imperial father regent."

Kong Youde took the deputy generals Geng Jimao and Shang Keyi to the shore early.

As soon as he saw Dolgon coming, he quickly threw off his sleeves and knelt down to say goodbye.

"Flat." Dolgon picked up Kong Youde with his own hands, and motioned to Geng Jimao and Shang Keyi to get up.

Dolgon didn't say any extra nonsense to Kong Youde, and said directly: "King Gongshun, it is said that you are tired from afar, and I should at least give you half a day to rest, and then participate in the fight when you have enough strength." ”

"However, today coincides with the high tide of New Year's Day, and the high tide level is especially high this month."

"And now is precisely the time when the water level is the highest, if the sailor participates in the battle, he can directly bully the west and south sides of the Dagu Mouth and launch a close shot at the Ming army in the platform."

"So, it can only be the soldiers of the hard water division."

"Master, what are you talking about?" Kong Youde said angrily.

"It is an honor for a slave to be able to serve you as a master and to serve the Qing Dynasty."

Monk Geng Jimao Zhiyi was even more confident and said: "Master, just look at it, our sailor will definitely assist King Su Qing to recapture Dagukou as soon as possible." ”

"Very well, then there will be work."

Dolgon nodded happily.

……

On the other side, Azig is already deploying an offensive.

Dolgon also had people set up a sand table about the Dagu Mouth and the surrounding terrain.

The sand table has been around since ancient times, but the sand table made by Shanchuan Heluo in such detail was brought by Chongzhen, and then it was quickly imitated by Jiannu and Dashun.

After all, it's not a secret either.

"Kadahun." Azig's gaze first fell on the body of Zhenghongqi Gushan Ezhen Gadahun, and said in a deep voice, "You take ten Niu Lu to be in charge of the Ming army on the left side, and Wu Sangui and other five battalions of green battalion soldiers are under your control." ”

"Huh." Kadahun's gaze stayed on the sand table, and after hesitating for a moment, he still asked, "Prince Su, today's tide is a big tide, and the inverted sea water has filled the trenches outside the Ming army's platform, and the water depth is one zhang, which is equivalent to a deep and wide moat, how can we get there?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." Azig said with a smile, "The sailor has already arrived at the mouth of Dagu, and the sailor will use the warship to assist you at that time, and you can take the sailor's warship to the Ming army's platform to attack directly." ”

"That's good." When Kadahun heard this, he was relieved, as long as the sailor arrived, there would be no problem.

Azig turned his gaze to another Zhenghongqi general: "Ji Xiha, you lead the other ten Niu Lu of Zhenghongqi to be in charge of the Ming army on the right side, Jiang Jiu and other five battalions of green battalion soldiers are under your control, in addition, the sailor will also divide half of the warships to assist you in the battle, and you also don't have to worry about being blocked by the trenches of the Ming Dog Gongtai." ”

Zixiha nodded silently, in his heart, he didn't look down on Azig's straw bale, but who made him the regent of the imperial father and the twelfth brother of the ten kings? It can only be to obey orders.

Azig finally turned his gaze to Wu Sangui, Xia Longshan, Jiang Hao, Wang Fuchen and other green camp generals, Wang Fuchen and Jiang Jiu were still wrapped in white cloth, and there were faint traces of blood oozing out.

Seeing this, Azig couldn't help frowning: "Wang Fuchen, Jiang Xuan, you just hand over the soldiers and horses to your lieutenant generals or staff generals, you don't need to go to the battlefield, you should stay in the camp to recuperate, but it's just a small big gukou, and it can't reach the point where you need to bring your injuries to battle." ”

"Huh." Wang Fuchen and Jiang Hao respectfully agreed.

Wu Sangui and Xia Longshan secretly made a mistake.

I knew that I was just as deceitful as Wang Fuchen and them.

……

Yan Yingyuan and the others had already seen the Jiannu Water Master from the watchtower.

"Wan Heng, the Jiannu Sailor has finally arrived at Dagukou." Chen Mingyu said solemnly, "If nothing else, Jiannu will soon launch an attack, and this time it is likely that a general attack will be launched on the left and right platforms at the same time, which is undoubtedly a severe test for our platforms." ”

As he spoke, Chen Mingyu's gaze turned to the platform in front of him.

Looking down from the watchtower, you can clearly see the whole picture of Dagukou.

By this time, the retaining walls of Dagukou and the retaining walls of the left and right platforms have all been reinforced.

The reinforced parapet is about five feet above the horizon, the bottom is one foot thick, the top is five feet thick, the top of the wall is also built one by one, and the outside of the parapet wall is a 45-degree inclination.

Inside the parapet wall of the Sanhe soil, it was also reinforced with wood.

This is the equivalent of a parapet wall of a "reinforced concrete structure".

It's just the original version of reinforced concrete.
