Emperor Zhengde had just led his army to Zhuozhou, but the worst news came.

Wang Yangming, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, did not know how to perceive the holy will at all, and actually led the army to conquer without waiting for the imperial court to issue a decree, and captured the unfortunate King Ning alive by dividing it by two.

When Wu Zong heard the news, he beat his chest and screamed, you said that you are Wang Yangming, what are you anxious about. This counterinsurgency is mine, why do you dare to rob it? The traitors have all been caught, so that I can kiss a fart again?

Wu Zong, who was full of displeasure, hid the war report, continued to lead the army to set off, eat, drink and have fun in Yangzhou, and went to the brothel * to review the women's army, and had a chic and indulgent meal.

has been making a fuss for more than eight months, but Mr. Wang Yangming is anxious enough. He escorted King Ning to Nanjing for half a year, begging the emperor to be captured, but Wuzong did not allow it.

In the end, Mr. Wang Yangming finally got the hang of it, and re-reported that all the credit was due to the general Zhu Shou, and that he could quickly quell the chaos by relying on his old man's virtue and strategy.

As for the heroic deeds of Mr. Wang who braved the arrows and stones, fought Poyang, and captured King Ning, he naturally did not dare to write a word. Sure enough, this one was handed in, and Wu Zong immediately played it.

After being captured, Zhu Houzhao finally reluctantly agreed to return north.

But after walking for a few days, Wu Zong felt that he was still unsatisfied, and said to his subordinates: If you don't count it this time, let's put King Ning back, let him rebel again, and I will defeat and catch him with my own hands, how enjoyable and awesome!

The ministers were confused, and they still played like this.........

Now, the young emperor also seems to be eager to fight, not only commanding remotely, but also devising something to defend the city.

Craftsmanship, Gao Bangzuo felt unreliable when he heard these two words.

Looking at Xiong Tingbi's expression and the arrangement in the past few days, I know that Xiong Tingbi did not dare to use the emperor's "craftsmanship". Opening his mouth, Gao Bangzuo swallowed the words back into his stomach.

Craftsmanship is craftsmanship, it's always a mind, as long as the young emperor doesn't scream "Imperial Expedition", thank God!

……………

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty placed Guangning in the middle and left Tunwei, and Jinxian County was its jurisdiction.

In the twenty-sixth year of Ming Hongwu, Guangning was placed on the right side of the guard, and it was initially set up in the thirteen mountain forts. In the following year, he moved to Linhai Township (now Youwei Town) in Zaolu County, and was subordinate to the command of the Liaodong Metropolitan Mission.

The specific location of the Youtun Acropolis is the Youwei Manchu Town, forty miles southeast of Linghai City in the later generations, on the left bank of the Daling River Basin, only thirty or forty miles away from the sea of Liaodong Bay in the south.

Compared with the scale of Quang Ninh City, the Youtun Acropolis is inferior, about 300 meters from north to south, 230 meters wide from east to west, and there are four city gates from east to west, north and south.

As Xiong Tingbi said, a small city also has the advantage of a small city, with fewer soldiers needed and a much shorter length of defense.

Moreover, there are really a lot of defenders on the Youtun Acropolis, gathering the men and horses of the surrounding forts and piers, as well as the defeated army of Shaling, plus the 1,000 soldiers sent by Xiong Tingbi, there are now more than 20,000 people.

The men and horses who came to meet at the forts and piers also brought forty or fifty artillery pieces of various sizes and a large number of gunpowder projectiles.

Although it was only small, it was placed at the head of the city to defend it, which still increased the confidence of the defenders in the city.

What's more, in addition to these small artillery, there is also the emperor's craftsmanship to help!

At the head of the city, Zu Dashou, Du Zhenyu, and Senator Xing Shenyan sent by Xiong Tingbi were inspecting.

Looking at the thick logs erected on the thick ice battlements, there were two or three hundred on all sides, and the faces of Zu Dashou and several generals in the army were slightly strange.

Du Zhenyu, a hundred households in Jinyi, still has that poker face, occasionally pursing the corners of his mouth, like a smile but not like it.

Next to him was another Jinyi Wei Baihu named Gou Zhenhuai, with a smile on his face, talking all the way like a chatterbox.

"This is the craftsmanship of the saint-" Gou Zhenhuai patted the rough log with the iron hoop, and arched his hand in the direction of the capital, "It's just a tree, sawing and sawing, it becomes a cannon ......"

Pine cannons and elm cannons are simple and easy to make, that is, a hole is cut in the middle of the wood, or sawed out from the middle, and then fastened with an iron hoop.

Then fill it with black powder, fill it with gravel and iron and something like that, plug the muzzle with grass, and fire it like a large shotgun.

This game is simple and easy to make, tens of thousands of soldiers cut down the woods outside the city, and more than 2,000 trees were brought into the castle in half a day. After simple processing, hundreds of "big trolls" were erected in the city in one day.

The city is still processing these things, and the total number is growing. Thousands of "cannons" sound scary.

After experimentation, this thing was able to hit a few times, and even cracks in the wood with a single shot. The range is only thirty or forty meters.

If it was in the past, Zu Dashou and other generals in the army would definitely treat this game as garbage, and they wouldn't give it to him for nothing.

But when is it now, once the Houjin army comes to attack, the bricks that can smash people are useful.

What's more, this wooden cannon is still designed by the Holy Lord, and it only takes a little effort and gunpowder, even if it is scrapped after spraying, it is worth it!

Gou Zhenhuai was still introducing with great interest, praising and praising you, "Your Excellency has not seen the boundary under the city that is piled with rotten branches, as long as the enemy crosses it, you will bombard his mother with this wood." It's not blowing, it's not difficult to knock him down three, four, five, six, seven, or eight with one shot. ”

Zu Dashou nodded vigorously and praised: "The saint is wise and intelligent, so he can design this weapon to defend the city; Gou Baihu is also delicate and thoughtful. The advantage of this cannon is that it is simple and easy to make, and it hurts several enemies with one cannon, even if it is discarded, it is also a lot of money. ”

Simple and easy to make, high performance and high price, this is the biggest advantage of pine cannon and elm spray. And the caliber is also large, spraying a large piece, which is more powerful than the three-eyed gun.

"Wow!" Gou Zhenhuai seemed to have met a confidant, and his gaze at Zu Dashou was different, and he smiled and gave a thumbs up, "General Zu said that after the bombardment of this wood, he will throw it down the city as a rolling log, and he can also smash a few enemies!" ”

Senator Xing Shenyan smiled, changed the topic, patted the thick ice on the battlements and said: "This method of ice condensation and fortification of the city has been used by the ancient generals. Now used for the right acropolis, at the right time, is extremely clever. ”

Gou Zhenhuai smiled and arched his hand: "Senator Xing has won the award." I heard this method in the commentary, so I tried it, and I was lucky enough to use it. ”

Du Zhenyu looked down at the city wall and said: "The city wall and the city are also frozen, and there is no foot in the slip. If the Houjin army wants to dig the wall and climb the city, I am afraid that it will suffer a big loss. Brother Gou, you really put your heart into it. ”

Gou Zhenhuai kicked the sack on the side of the city wall with his foot, and said with a smile: "If it is not slippery enough, I also prepared soybeans and black beans and threw ...... under the city."

Ice surface and round rolling beans?! The corners of Zu Dashou's mouth twitched, and he said in his heart: This girl is really bad enough.
