Zhu Hongsan was eating and talking. At first, he was a little restrained, but later he drank a little too much rice wine. In addition, he tasted these authentic hometown dishes, and started talking to Wang Wan'er. Now he would tell Wang Wan'er about Zhu Hongsan's past twenty years. When the family was in a difficult situation, he was reluctant to eat a fish and left it to himself. Zhu Hongyi's stepmother was so bad to him. His mother came to the door to fight with her uncle when she was angry. Zhu Hongsan praised how sensible he was when he was young and knew how to earn money for the family at a young age. When he got older, how could he mess with Ma Xiaofang until he got married to Ma Xiaofang. As he was talking, Zhu Hongsan came up and lie on the table and slept soundly!

Looking at Zhu Hong and Wang Wan'er sighed in her heart. It turned out that great heroes were like ordinary people. In the past, Wang Wan'er felt that these people were all pretending to be in the world and subjects, and there would be no such thing as a love affair among children. Unexpectedly, when he heard Zhu Hongsan speak the truth after drinking, he realized that the emperor was also a human being. He also had seven emotions and six desires like ordinary people, and he also had joys, anger, sorrows and happiness. It seems that he had more dissatisfaction than himself.

Seeing that Zhu Hongsan was drunk, Li Chengen asked in a low voice: "Madam Wang, I will serve you to sleep with Your Majesty!"

Wang Wan'er had just been admitted to the harem for less than a month, and he was not used to it. There was still someone in the house watching him take off his clothes and sleep, even if he was a eunuch. Now, after hearing what Li Chengen said, he quickly said: "Eunuch Li doesn't have to worry about you, you'll be a big deal. I'll just serve Your Majesty! Eunuch Li will go out for a rest!"

Li Chengen knew that Wang Wan'er was shy and did not point it out. He ordered the eunuch outside the house to come into the house to pack up the food and drinks, and then retreated.

Wang Wan'er helped Zhu Hongsan to the bed, then dragged his clothes to serve him to sleep, and lie down next to Zhu Hongsan.

Wang Wan'er was lying on the bed, listening to the sound of raindrops outside hitting the cowhide tent, and couldn't help but think of her deceased husband. It would be great if she hadn't gotten married. I believe that if she met Zhu Hongsan first, she would definitely fall in love with him! At this time, Wang Wan'er's heart began to change with Zhu Hongsan, and gradually changed from original resistance to liking.

Of course, one is a great hero who occupies half of China, and the other is a literati who has been hiding at home and studying all year round. Zhu Hongsan's personality charm is comparable to that dead nerd.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Now it is almost November. I didn’t expect that it will rain so heavily around Nanjing. In recent years, the climate of the small glacier has gradually warmed up. There are only a few days of snow in Nanzhili every year, and the others are above zero degrees. However, such heavy rain in the winter is very rare.

Wang Wan'er slowly fell asleep listening to the rhythmic sound of rain. At around 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, she suddenly felt someone calling at the door: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! There is important military information!"

Although Zhu Hongsan drank a lot of alcohol, his years of military career made him very alert. Before Wang Wan'er could react, Zhu Hongsan had already jumped up.

When he came to the door, he opened the curtain, and a cold air entered the tent. Zhu Hongsan was excited. He looked at a group of people standing outside the tent, and the leader was Zhao Guodong.

"What's going on? What's the important military information?"

"Your Majesty, the scouts we stayed by the river just now came to the news, and there was a sound of a large group of people crossing the river, but it was raining and dark, and he didn't see clearly the number of people!"

It seems that the Qing Dynasty is about to start.

"What's going on around the barracks?"

"There is no news around now, but the rain is too heavy now, and the visibility is less than 100 meters. I can't make any decisions. I'll ask for instructions on what to do!"

Zhu Hongsan nodded and said, "Very good, Zhao Guodong, you ordered the 12th Regiment of the Second Division to rise up and prepare for the battle. You should also proceed quietly, and don't make any noise!"

At this time, Li Chengen also entered the tent and helped Zhu Hongsan dress neatly. Wang Wan'er was awake now. Seeing Zhu Hongsan put on armor, she stood up and asked, "Your Majesty, are the Qing army coming?"

Zhu Hong, while dressing under the servitude of Li Chengen, said, "The military situation is unknown now, but I guess the Qing army is around you! You go to bed first, you can't fall asleep after a while. I don't know when this battle will be fought!"

Seeing Zhu Hongsan dressed neatly and exiting the camp, he rode away with Zhu Hongyi, who had been waiting for a long time, on a horse and roared away. Wang Wan'er was very scared. He had seen the Qing army's skillful archery and horses in Hangzhou. He heard that the Manchus were invincible, and there were tens of thousands of Qing troops opposite him. I wonder if he could win this time!

There are a total of 50,000 new troops in Guangzhou, which is already more than a county town. Naturally, the camp also covers a large area, with a total of three miles from Zhu Hongsan's tent to the south gate.

Zhu Hongsan ordered three regiments to be mobilized first. At this time, officers had already shouted the soldiers, and some were lined up in heavy rain.

Looking at these soldiers wet by the rain, Zhu Hongsan cursed in his heart: The Qing army is really good at picking. Now that the rain is so heavy, the power of his firearm cannot be exerted by 30%. I guess he will suffer some losses!

When he arrived at the south gate, Zhao Guodong was squeezing the trunk and listening carefully to the sound outside. It was midnight or in the wilderness, and it was raining, and I couldn’t see anything clearly a hundred meters outside the camp.

Zhu Hongsan came to the front and learned from Zhao Guodong, and listened carefully on the walls made of willow branches. Zhu Hongsan's camp was not made of wood, and the labor cost and materials were mainly to waste time. Zhu Hongsan purchased a large number of large baskets made of willow branches in Guangdong. This kind of thing was light and not only took up space. A large cart could pull hundreds of them. Each basket was loaded with soil and then stacked up layer by layer. It was an artificial earth city. In this era, it was fine to resist bows and arrows and muskets and cannons.

But this kind of thing is afraid of rain. Now this heavy rain has reduced the soil in the basket by one-third, and it has to be reinforced by manual labor.

Zhu Hongsan heard the sound outside without saying anything except the sound of rain, and it shouldn't be like someone outside.

"Goudan, how do you listen?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't hear any sound! Didn't the Qing army meet us and return to Nanjing?" Zhao Guodong looked back and saw that it was impossible. Although there were not many lights in the camp, the rainproof lanterns at several gates were still bright. You can see this thing as far away as you can.

"Your Majesty, are you not going to attack from the South Gate, but instead going to the other gates?"

Zhu Hongsan nodded. This possibility is not without. "Send the order and let all the sects strengthen their vigilance! Report any matters immediately!"

As soon as Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he saw a knight running over on his horse. "Report! Your Majesty, you find the movement in the north gate!"

When Zhu Hongsan and others heard the news, they all got on their horses and headed towards the north gate.

There was a battalion guarding the north gate. When the battalion commander saw the emperor coming in person, he quickly saluted.

"Tell me quickly, what military information is there!"

"Your Majesty, all the sirens, I just heard something outside, but I couldn't hear it carefully, so I asked someone to dig a hole and put a big jar inside! Your Majesty, listen to it, a few sirens!"

Zhu Hongsan came to the front of the big jar and lay down and heard that there was a sound in the jar, with a rhythmic dong dong sound, which was very similar to the sound of a person walking on the ground.

It should be the footsteps of the Qing army. After all, it is impossible for tens of thousands of people to move without any movement.

Zhu Hongsan stood up and looked outside, but he still found nothing. There was a sound of rain outside and could not see anything.

Zhu Hongsan looked at the army cannon beside him and said, "Try to shoot outside!"

When building the camp, the battalion had already left a shooting port for the cannon by the wall, and a straw shed was built to prevent the rain. After receiving the order, the battalion commander opened the cannon plug and put it in a gunpowder bag, and asked, "Your Majesty, is it a shotgun or a solid bullet?"

The distance between the shotgun is close, and the solid shot is too far away and there is no effect. If there is a Qing army on the opposite side, Zhu Hongsan is probably within one mile. This distance is just right to try using a shrapnel.

"No, change the shrapnel!"

Because the shrapnel bullets were still in the experimental stage, they didn't bring much this time. When the battalion commander heard about this, he quickly went back to bring a box of ammunition and put the shrapnel bullets with the ammunition holder into the gun chamber.

"Your Majesty, all the sirens, this new type of shell is not stable. Should you avoid it first?" The battalion commander was kind enough. If he wanted to explode, he would be a pack of stewed.

Zhu Hongsan cursed: "What's the point? Launch it!"

The battalion commander swallowed and spitted. He knew that if the blown-up, his family would not have to live. However, the emperor's orders were here, and he dared not ignore them. He could only pray in his heart for the blessing of the gods from all directions and then ignite the cannon.

It is midnight now, and how far a loud cannon sound came out. Other soldiers in the camp stood up and asked what was going on. You should know that in ancient times, whistling in the military camp was the most terrifying, and no one knew what was going on. It was easy to collapse. However, Zhu Hongsan's grassroots officers played a role again, suppressing their soldiers, and there was no big trouble.

The shroud projectile is equipped with a bullet holder and is made of cork. Because the gunpowder and the bullet in the shroud projectile are placed separately, the function of the bullet holder is to keep the shroud projectile stable during flight. If the ammunition rolls and explodes, it cannot explode in a direction, and the bullet cannot attack downward.

At the same time, the existence of the bullet holder also plays a certain sealing role. Because the bullet holder is made of cork, it expands after being subjected to force at the tail and closes closely to the barrel, it fully exerts the force of gunpowder, so the range of the shroud projectile is farther than that of the solid projectile.

After the shell is out of the bore, due to the effect of the bullet support, the center of gravity of the shell is backward, so the flight is very stable and there will be no rolling. At the same time, the cannon has ignited the slow-burning gunpowder in the shell cork when it is out of the bore. After flying for another two seconds, the gunpowder ignites the explosive charge in the shell, and then pushes the partition under the gunpowder to shoot out the five sub-munitions on one side of the partition.
