Chapter 24: The City Must Be Safe

At the first meeting with Luo Zimu, Wang Wu was scolded for being bloody.

He wanted to explain, but Luo Zimu, who was extreme, didn't want to listen to him at all.

Luo Zimu can't be blamed for this, because Zhang Shangshu sent Luo Zimu to contact him after hearing that the army had recovered Wuchang, but he didn't expect that the Ming army that recovered Wuchang would descend to the Qing court in a blink of an eye and turn into a soldier of the Eight Banners, not to mention that Luo Zimu couldn't accept it, even Zhang Huangyan couldn't accept it.

A lot of things, the deeds are not careful.

That is, what you really think in your heart is often not valued, but what you actually do.

Wang Wu shaved his hair and became the commander of the eight banners of the Han army, this is what he did.

What he really thinks in his heart is not important at all in the face of "facts".

Because any justification is weak and very pale in the face of the facts.

Therefore, from beginning to end, Wang Wu only let Luo Zimu scold him there, without saying a word, and then ordered someone to take Luo Zimu down.

It is definitely not possible to put Luo Zimu back like this, because it will cause Zhang Shangshu, who has finally ignited hope, to despair again, so that he will disband the rebel army again like the original time and space, and then be betrayed and captured by traitors.

In that case, Wang Wu couldn't stand this big hero.

After thinking about it, he asked people to secretly send Luo Zimu to the base area, so that this Zhang Shangshu's "special envoy" could understand more about the current situation and situation, and at the same time, he could also meet with the three old commanders in the mountains and King Han, and he could also know more about Wang Yaowu.

He also specially asked the head of Fuchenzi to accompany Luo Zimu to the base area.

"Shi Jianliu fax can be lawful, and Hong En has not revenged."

After learning that Wang Wu was scolded by Luo Zimu, Fu Chenzi couldn't help but say such a couplet.

History is Shi Kefa, and Hong is Hong Chengchou.

This couplet is used to humiliate Hong Chengchou.

When Xia Wanchun, a young hero whom Wang Wu admired, was escorted to Nanjing for trial, he said in front of Hong Chengchou: "I heard that Mr. Hong Hengjiu of my dynasty was a heroic figure, and Mr. Songshan was martyred in the First World War, which shocked China and foreign countries. Although I am a latecomer, I admire Mr. Loyalty, so although I am young, I will never fall behind Mr. when I kill to serve the country. ”

The soldier next to him thought that Xia Wanchun really didn't know Hong Chengchou, and reminded him that the chief judge in the hall was Hong Chengchou.

After hearing this, Xia Wanchun said "bah" and said: "Nonsense, Mr. Hong sacrificed for the country, who in the world does not know." I, Emperor Chongzhen, once personally set up a sacrifice, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty also wept and mourned for him. How dare you traitors pretend to be martyrs and insult loyal souls! ”

Annoyed and ashamed, Hong Chengchou ordered the 17-year-old hero Xia Wanchun to be beheaded, and his friends transported his body back to Songjiang to be buried next to the tomb of his father Xia Yunyi.

In the west of Songjiang City in later generations, there are still the tombs of Xia Yunyi and Xia Wanchun's heroic father and son.

Hong Chengchou is a real surrender, and Wang Wu is a false surrender.

But in the eyes of the world, he is also a true descendant.

It can't be explained.

can only silently endure the eyes of the world, and accumulate strength for the real sky to change darkly.

Zhang Changgeng returned to Wuchang, because the Jingzhou general Babur had already set off from Yanjing with the officers and soldiers stationed in the Eight Banners and their families, and would arrive in Wuchang next month.

As the governor of Huguang, Zhang Changgeng has a lot to do.

The former station of the new Jingxi general Prince Kang Jieshu will also arrive in Wuchang one after another, and these people need to be received by Zhang Changgeng.

In addition to the establishment of Mancheng in Jingzhou and the fact that Prince Kang Jieshu presided over the Pingxi bandit war, there was no other major event, but Wu Sangui of Yunnan wrote to the Qing court that there were Mongols watching Dali, and Shuixi Tusi Ankun and Wusa Tusi An Chongsheng were bewitched by the pseudo-Mingpi Xiong to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty, and the special commander-in-chief Ma Bao and Wu Guogui led the army to exterminate it.

Wang Wu analyzed that Wu Sangui was mostly bluffing, and all he did was to expand the army and get money from the Qing court.

Ma Bao and Wu Guogui were most likely scolded by Wu Sangui after they returned to Kunming, and this time they led the army to Shuixi to exterminate Tusi, which should be a punishment of exile.

After all, they took it upon themselves to cooperate with the Ming army to deal with the Qing army in Shaanxi, which should be very unhappy for Wu Sangui, who may not want to oppose the Qing.

It is unreasonable not to give a certain disposal.

However, there was a personnel appointment that caught Wang Wu's attention.

That is, the governor of Guangxi, Lian Guoan, wrote to ask for resignation from his official position, and the Qing court appointed Sun Yanling as the general of guarding Guangxi because he was Kong Youde's son-in-law, and replaced Lian Guoan to govern Kong Youde's old department.

Wang Wu remembered that this Sun Yanling later responded to Wu Sangui's rebellion against the Qing court.

It was the old department of Kong Youde that was in charge of Guangxi and should actually be the "fourth domain" in addition to the three feudatories.

In other words, a few years later, in addition to Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong, Wu Sangui and Sun Yanling were already in place.

But I don't know when Shang Zhixin and Geng Jingzhong will be in place.

Geng Jingzhong has heard of the prophecy of "the Son of Heaven's doppelganger fire ear".

Zhang Changgeng sent a deputy chief engineer to the project.

It is Wang Wu's acquaintance, the Golden Crown, and the three platforms.

Jin Daotai "attached a thief" when he was in Wuchang and played the role of Wang Wuying Dog.

This time, he was sent by Zhang Changgeng to serve as the "deputy commander-in-chief" of the project, and it is estimated that he will not be able to return to Wuchang.

After Jin Guansan arrived, he and Li Wen, the prefect of Jingzhou, who had not yet been promoted to the Taoist platform, did on-the-spot surveying and mapping of the Mancheng project, and finally the two of them formulated a more feasible planning plan for the Mancheng project.

After Wang Wu heard that the first draft of the planning plan came out, he immediately led everyone to listen to the report on the spot.

"Lord Dutong, the opinion of Xia Guan and Governor Li is to build a boundary wall here to divide Jingzhou into two cities, east and west, the east city is Mancheng, and the west city is Hancheng."

The place that Jin Guansan said is at the foot, that is, the center of Jingzhou City.

Like the city wall, the boundary wall opened the South New Gate and the North New Gate on top of it as the gate for entering and exiting the city between Manseong and Seoul.

"The Jingzhou Mansion in Dongcheng can be converted into a general's office, and several larger mansions in Dongcheng can be converted into a garrison deputy capital office."

In the planning drawings, the former residence of Zhang Juzheng, the former assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was also classified as a flag consulate.

Lee added: "Dongseong is on a high ground and has a condescending position over the western city, which is convenient for monitoring Seoul and is not affected by flooding. ”

Judging from the scheme drawings, the layout structure of the whole city is strict and neat, and the functional zoning is clear and orderly.

The north is the official office area, the general office is in the middle, adjacent to the Chengtian Temple, the middle of the city is the soldier garrison area, and the barracks layout is completely in line with the regulations of the imperial court.

The north of the city is inlaid with yellow and yellow; The east of the city is stationed in white, inlaid with white flags; The west of the city is stationed in the red, inlaid with red flags; The south of the city is stationed in the blue and inlaid with blue flags.

In addition, the streets inside the city had to be cleaned up, and there were more than 100 military installations.

The Eight Banners Officers and Soldiers Exercise Hall was set up in Hancheng outside the South Gate, and the cavalry horse farm was selected in the counties outside the city later.

The total cost of the project is preliminarily estimated to be 146,780 taels of silver.

There are whole and zero.

Wang Wu returned the drawings to Jin Guansan, led people to ride horses in the city for a few laps, and then called for the drawings to be brought over, and then picked up the pen and drew on them.

Jin Guansan leaned over to look at it, and it looked like a watchtower-like building.

"This is called a turret, build eighteen on the boundary wall, and twenty-six on each of the other three walls, each turret should be able to accommodate fifty banner soldiers, at least ten big wolf dogs, and at least five cannons in the turret."

After giving specific advice on defensive measures, Wang Wu said that all the gates of the three walls of the city except for the boundary wall should be sealed, and the boundary wall should not open two gates, but one gate.

"The safety of the city is the first priority in the construction of the project, if the city gate is opened too much, it is easy for traitors to get in."

This "traitor" refers to the Han Chinese spies.
