Zhu Yongxing patted Cai Ming's shoulder lightly, shook his head and sighed. Whether his generals can understand his combat intentions is only one aspect. More importantly, if he does not come in person, based on the official titles of King Li Jin and King Zhao
and prestige, the soldiers you send will inevitably be controlled by others, and the implementation of the battle plan will also be biased.
Therefore, going to the battlefield in person is not as simple as gaining fame and establishing prestige. Zhu Yongxing also needs to rely on some of his own predictions to lead the development of the battle situation and implement his own ideas. Of course, Cai Ming doesn't understand, and neither does anyone else.
"I won't look at the other workshops and experiments. I can rest assured that Yongcai will do the work." Zhu Yongxing praised Cai Ming again in a disguised manner, then broke up with Cai Ming, got on his horse with a few guards, and went to a Ming station where the Ministry of Military Industry was stationed.
Under the guidance of the military officer, they drove for half an hour and arrived at another place.
This is a piece of flat land, surrounded by bamboo and wooden walls. There are many Ming army soldiers patrolling, and the guards are quite tight. There are several brick walls in the center of the open space. Some places are broken and blackened, as if they were destroyed by explosions.
.
Yes, this is the base of the engineering and demolition team, which was ordered to conduct drills and tests on digging tunnels and blasting city walls. Zhu Yongxing has been giving guidance through letters, but this is the first time he has come here.
As soon as Zhu Yongxing jumped off his horse, Wang Xie, captain of the engineering corps, lined up with hundreds of his men for review. Basically, the soldiers of the engineering corps were miners, and they were all quite tall and strong, as can be seen from the exposed thick necks.
come out.
Wang Xie's cheekbones are raised, there are some small wrinkles on his forehead, and his eyes are hidden under thick black, drooping eyebrows; his shoulders are realistically rounded, his neck is hidden inside, and his head seems to grow directly from his chest.
Zhu Yongxing walked slowly past the queue with a smile, observing the soldiers one by one, nodding his head in appreciation from time to time. When he walked to Wang Xie, he reached out and patted Wang Xie, feeling the swollen muscles under Wang Xie's clothes.
I can't help but feel a little jealous.
"Your Highness, I am here to bring someone to show you how to blow up the wall." Wang Xie was still impatient, and showed his straightforwardness as a warrior. Without a second thought, he wanted Zhu Yongxing to appreciate the blasting.
"There's no rush." Zhu Yongxing laughed and said jokingly: "Go inside first and let me have a drink of water before we talk!"
"Yes. Yes, I am reckless. Your Highness, please forgive me." Wang Xie grinned and hurriedly let Zhu Yongxing into the room next to him.
"Call the backbone of the team and tell me about this blasting method." Zhu Yongxing took the tea cup and was not in a hurry to drink it. He smiled and said to Wang Xie: "As long as the method is proper, there is no need to demonstrate it, and it saves money."
Some gunpowder.”
Wang Xie was a little disappointed, but he still followed Zhu Yongxing's words and went out to call in a few key members of the team.
"You don't have to be restrained. Here is a pen and paper. Let's talk as we draw." Zhu Yongxing motioned for them all to sit down. He took the pen and paper, pushed it over, pointed at Wang Xie and said, "You come first."
For city wall blasting, the most effective method at present is to dig tunnels and fill them with gunpowder. Before the invention of new explosives, Zhu Yongxing had little confidence in external blasting. Blasting city gates was okay, but against thick city walls, it was obviously of limited effect.
What Wang Xie said was also the experimental results of tunnel blasting. With the addition of several key personnel, Zhu Yongxing understood it clearly.
The tunnel was dug to the base of the city wall, a square hole was dug out, boxes of gunpowder were filled in, a fuse was drawn out with a bamboo pole, the tunnel was sealed, and a fire was set off.
It was quite satisfactory. It did not deviate from the scope of his own letter guidance, and there was no innovation or transformation. Zhu Yongxing was slightly disappointed, but it did not show on his face. After all, these people have never studied physics, and they have no knowledge of the principles of gunpowder explosions and how to increase the power of explosions.
, lack of understanding. In fact, this is where Zhu Yongxing is troubled. He has no time to popularize scientific knowledge, so he can only instill it temporarily. In this way, his subordinates know what is happening, but do not know why, and naturally it is difficult to generate innovative thinking.
Without an education system for basic subjects and without the popularization of scientific principles, it can only be maintained as it is. And to form a comprehensive systematic education, it is best to start from childhood. This does not take a few years, but can be completed in more than ten years.
work.
"Yes, you all did a good job." Zhu Yongxing praised with a smile. This is almost a habit of his. For an emerging team, encouragement can stimulate people's enthusiasm.
A hint of joy appeared on the faces of Wang Xie and several key members, obviously they were quite confident in the power of the blast.
"How can firecrackers explode louder?" Zhu Yongxing asked a question, paused, and then asked and answered: "One is to pack more medicine; the other is to wrap it tightly and not leak. If there are holes, then
It’s not firecrackers, it’s fireworks.”
Wang Xie and others were confused and looked at each other, then turned their attention to Zhu Yongxing's face.
Zhu Yongxing took the pen and paper, made a few simple strokes, and said: "If you fill this place with gunpowder, then block it with bricks and stones, and then seal the tunnel, the blasting power should be even greater. This is somewhat similar to firecrackers.
Just try not to leave any holes.”
This is a small improvement. Move the original place where gunpowder was filled laterally, and then fill the gap with masonry. This way, the airtightness is better. The gas expanded by the explosion is surrounded by thick earth, and then the gunpowder is filled into a concave surface, so that
If you push upward as much as possible, the effect of blasting the city wall will be more significant.
"Your Highness." A backbone of the engineering team asked tentatively: "We collapsed the tunnel, and the collapsed soil will be pushed away when the explosion occurs. If we do it this way, will this situation be avoided?"
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's tunnel blasting mostly involved collapsing tunnels to form airtight medicine chambers, but Zhu Yongxing's improvement was even better, preventing the leakage of medicine gas to the greatest extent. Of course, what this backbone said is also very correct.
"Yes, that's it." Zhu Yongxing drew a few more arrows on the paper to indicate the direction of the impact of the explosive gas, explained it in detail, and used another analogy to make everyone understand better, "This gunpowder explosion is like
The defeated troops on the battlefield will charge in whichever direction the blockage is loose or wide. If the firecrackers are made of iron pipes and both ends are blocked with mud, what do you think they will look like after they are lit?"
"Well, it should be sprayed at both ends, right?" Wang Xie scratched his head, thinking about the strange appearance of firecrackers. After receiving Zhu Yongxing's affirmation, his eyes slowly lit up.
Zhu Yongxing felt that it was almost done, so he drank tea leisurely, allowing these people to digest and understand, and discuss the best way to improve blasting. He only occasionally added a few words and gave some tips. What made him happy was that these people were not only interested in blasting.
With my new understanding, I am more familiar with tunnel excavation, which is faster and better.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. Zhu Yongxing felt that his trip was worthwhile. Through his in-depth understanding of weapons and equipment and city demolition, he was able to make a more complete counterattack plan and gain greater confidence in victory.
……………
There are many mountains around Shaba. The scenery is picturesque. There are also scenic spots such as Silver Waterfall, Tengqiao, Yunshan, Fengdong, Tianmen, Shuigongdong and other attractions in the mountains. Although it has not been developed yet, it is full of natural beauty.
Zhu Yongxing was running around, checking and giving advice, so naturally it was not easy to keep a woman by his side. Mengzhu and Longer were surrounded by guards and maids of their own clan, so they traveled around in this beautiful world. Obviously.
I was having so much fun that my body couldn't bear it.
The night is fresh and bright. In front of the window is a row of willow trees. One side looks black, and the other side is silvery. A little further behind the dark tree, there is a leafy tree with snow-white branches. Above the tree
It was a gray sky with almost no stars. There was also a shining moon that was about to become full.
Zhu Yongxing read the letter written by Mengzhu and signed it with his seal. When he looked up, he saw that the girl was rubbing her legs and feet with a sad face.
"Are you tired? You played so crazy." Zhu Yongxing packed up the letters, stood up and walked over. He stretched out his hand and lightly beat her back and shoulders. He beat her for a while, then rubbed her arms. Then he squatted down and pinched her legs and feet.
Mengzhu felt sore from being pinched at first, but soon she felt a strange pleasure.
Zhu Yongxing's technique was a bit rusty at first, and he couldn't control the strength well. After using it for a while, he became more and more proficient, sometimes using a solid fist, sometimes using a hollow fist.
The speed changes are becoming more and more suitable.
Hmm. Hmm. Mengzhu's eyes were half closed, and she was humming softly, feeling so comfortable that she seemed to be sleepy.
Zhu Yongxing pursed his lips and smiled, and couldn't help but miss the pleasant massage skills of eunuch Zhao Guowei. He stretched out his hand to put Mengzhu on the back of the chair, held her waist and lifted her up, so that her waist and lower spine were also
Feel soft.
Two soft arms came around him. Mengzhu hugged his neck and whispered into his ear: "It's so comfortable. Your Highness can do this, but it's hidden but it's reserved for some woman."
of?"
"Isn't it just for you? It was used when preparing for the wedding, isn't it awesome?" Zhu Yongxing smiled and rubbed Mengzhu's tender and warm face, pinched the girl's waist and hips a few times, and then
He slapped his little butt.
Mengzhu let out a cry, hugging her tighter and sticking closer to her. A warm aroma unique to a girl surrounded Zhu Yongxing, and she exhaled like orchid, gently spraying on his ears and face.
Confused and fascinated, Zhu Yongxing kissed the shy beauty in his arms, from her earlobes to her face, and finally stayed on the moist red lips. He sucked, sucked, and made a sound; then he opened his teeth and teased her.
Sweet and soft little tongue.
Mengzhu's eyes were blurred, intoxicated by this loving intimacy. Slowly, her sweet tongue started to move, entangled and stirred, and hugged Zhu Yongxing's neck tighter.
Time seemed to have stopped, and it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world. I don't know how long it took, but the two of them hugged and kissed, and before they knew it, they were tired of being on the bed.
The clothes slipped down, the smooth and round shoulders, the white and tall breasts, the flat and solid lower abdomen, the slender white breasts... Zhu Yongxing was intoxicated, and spread his burning kisses all over A-Zhu's jade-like body, the warmth
The hot, delicate, smooth and moist feeling made him go crazy.
Mengzhu's charming eyes were as silk as silk, and she gasped and pulled a quilt at random, covering her face, hiding her reserve and shyness, and giving herself to the man she loved so much, to take whatever he wanted.
Zhu Yongxing's lips and hands lingered on the silky, satin-smooth skin, and his soft, boneless white breasts were trembling. His rationality was flying, and the moral dam began to collapse. He was so excited that he couldn't restrain himself.
, and slowly pressed up.
With a short and melodious moan, Mengzhu's graceful neck suddenly tilted back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed on her pretty blushing face, her starry eyes closed tightly, her teeth nibbling lightly, and on her slender and delicate feet, there were ten petite and exquisite hairs.
Her lovely jade toes were stretched stiffly and dug into the soles of her feet. Her soft jade arms like snow lotus roots were stiff and tense at first, and her slender hands tightly grasped the quilt. After a long while, she slowly relaxed and hugged Zhu Yongxing.
My neck, hugged so tightly, so tight...
Give me a hug and call out, and I feel excited in my heart. I am so happy and ashamed that I lose my soul. Even if I have the strength, it is difficult to gain strength. I am not used to friendship, not used to friendship, and my heart can't help but flutter. The enemy is very romantic, so I hug you.
There must be no seams. My chest is wet with sweat, my breasts are wet with sweat, I hug each other and express my love, whispering to him. Please move gently.
After the clouds and rain had subsided, the two of them hadn't been separated for a long time, cuddling together with their eyes locked together. Their skins touched, their body temperature passed, and their affections merged. At this time, words were unnecessary.
Zhu Yongxing gently brushed the wet hair from Mengzhu's forehead, hugged her soft and smooth breasts lovingly, and said softly: "My beloved, A-Zhu, my darling, you are my woman."
"Your Highness, husband." Mengzhu rested her head on Zhu Yongxing's shoulder. She rubbed it gently and whispered: "I am your woman and will always be."
Zhu Yongxing felt extremely happy when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Why don't we hurry up and get married, not next year."
Meng Zhujiao smiled softly and said, "Then wait until His Highness goes out and wins the battle. Now, in the name of a female official, I can still follow His Highness. If I become a princess, it will be inconvenient."
"You are very thoughtful." Zhu Yongxing caressed Mengzhu's smooth back and murmured longingly: "Maybe after winning this battle, I won't have to attend every battle in person. I also want to spend more time with you.
, wait until next year, I will definitely take you to see the sea. Build a seaside villa, watch the sunrise and sunset, catch the sea and listen to the tide. Go boating..."
Mengzhu listened quietly, caressing Zhu Yongxing's generous chest with her hands, feeling unprecedented happiness and joy. There is a man who loves her, accompanying her in the picturesque scenery, whispering and cuddling together, it is really
The greatest joy in life.
The night became quieter and quieter, with soft moonlight shining in. The mosquito net was hung low, whispers continued, and even the chirping of flies seemed to become particularly gentle, for fear of disturbing the couple who were immersed in deep love.
It feels so good to feel refreshed. The harmony of yin and yang turns out to have such a great effect. Conquering a woman turns out to give a man such strong self-confidence.
Zhu Yongxing rode on the horse, tilted his head slightly, and met the eyes of the little face exposed in front of the carriage window. Although he had no words, he could understand the love and kindness through a slight smile.
Not far ahead is Laojie, the main junction between Yunnan Province and Annan. With the transportation line of the Red River, Zhu Yongxing has decided to set up his headquarters here. It can take care of both the Annan occupied area and Yuanjiang.
As the commander-in-chief, Prince Ma Bao of Ruyang has already arrived at Laojie. The Syrian male Ma Weixing of the Yuanjiang Small Staff Group was ordered to return. After reporting to Zhu Yongxing, he will rush to Anpei to take charge and lead troops to defend Annan.
Zheng.
It was already mid-August, and there were only less than two months left before the Yuanjiang Uprising and the counterattack in western Yunnan planned for September and October, so time was quite tight.
As soon as Zhu Yongxing arrived in Laojie, he sent some Ming troops with his team to Yuanjiang, bringing with them a small number of mines and grenades. These Ming army officers and soldiers will serve as the second batch of instructors. After arriving in Yuanjiang, they will immediately devote themselves to training the soldiers to become familiar with new weapons.
At work.
The Syrian male Ma Weixing reported to Zhu Yongxing Yuanjiang's specific preparations, as well as Nasong's latest progress in contacting the generals and chieftains of the Southern Ming Dynasty who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, as well as the rough plan drawn up by the small staff.
The generals who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty were Sun Yingdou, Lai Shixun, Gao Yingfeng, Yanyan Bo Zhu Yangen, Shiping general Xu Mingchen, and local official Long Pengchan. These names Zhu Yongxing are memorable, and there are historical records. They are indeed people who participated in the Yuanjiang Uprising. This shows that Yuanjiang
The process of the uprising did not completely break away from the historical track, or it did not change much. Some other names were relatively unfamiliar to Zhu Yongxing, such as Xu Jiagui, Ma Bingzhong, etc.
"...The Yuanjiang family is already very wealthy and powerful, and with the support of His Highness, the generals and chieftains who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty all have the intention of joining the righteousness. Once something happens, they will definitely respond..."
Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly. The success of the crusade against Annan would undoubtedly have an impact on the Yindong area. The Ming army would support him, and his clan would be able to issue seals and rewards if he stayed behind. This would certainly bring favorable conditions to Yuanjiang Nasong's contacts.
condition.
"...Governor Nasong generously helped the people and was extremely supported by the people under his rule. He has summoned tens of thousands of people to dig deep trenches, reinforce the city, and build pontoons to prevent forced crossings..."
Zhu Yongxing nodded lightly. Historically, the Qing army captured Yuanjiang and massacred the city. Tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians were killed. Then they massacred and burned tens of thousands of civilians in the surrounding areas. The total number of deaths reached more than 100,000. According to these figures
Calculating, it should not be very difficult for Nasong to gather tens of thousands of people. With so many people participating in the construction, Yuanjiang's city defense should be well repaired and reinforced.
"...The governor and the generals discussed repeatedly and made a rough plan: they can station troops at Laowu Mountain in the northwest of Yuanjiang City as foreign aid, and set up an ambush at Dazhujing... Let the generals of the generals capture Shiping, and send another army to attack
After plundering Lin'an and Mengzi, wars were everywhere south of Kunming and east of Kunming, which devastated the Qing army on both sides..."
Zhu Yongxing frowned slightly. If he hadn't known about the development of history, he would have greatly appreciated this arrangement. But he already knew the failure of the Yuanjiang Uprising in history. Regardless of whether history had changed, he would fill in the gaps to avoid omissions.
.
When the Qing army suppressed the Nasong uprising against the Qing Dynasty in Yuanjiang, they left Kunming, passed through Tonghai, and took Qujiangyi. They first occupied Shiping, then approached Yuanjiang, and finally appeared in the northeast of Yuanjiang City. Zhu Yongxing moved his finger on the map,
Finally, I stopped at Laowu Mountain, drew a circle in Dazhujing, and shook my head gently. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian.com to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
