On October 25, the twenty-fifth year of the Ming Dynasty Yongli, Jieyang County, south of Nanxi Bridge.
Zhu Jushan, who was riding a short Yunnan horse, was surrounded by a large group of infantry. He had already seen the city wall of Jieyang County from a distance, which looked like a majestic pass with hundreds of pheasants.
What he saw now was the city wall in the south of Jieyang County. It had not been bombarded by red cannons, so it still looked solid. Outside the city, there are also the newly built Nanxi North and South Villages and the North and South Forts. From a distance, they look like a battleground for heavily guarded military strategists.
In addition, the terrain of Jieyang County is indeed a bit dangerous. It is sandwiched between the north and south streams of the Rongjiang River. There is also a canal in the west of the city that connects the north and south streams. It is surrounded by water on three sides. Although there is no river near the east of the city, sixteen or seventeen miles away is the bifurcation of the north and south streams of the Rongjiang River.
In other words, Jieyang County can also be regarded as a castle built on an island. If it is possible to control the two waterways in the north and south, Jieyang County can be said to be surrounded by natural dangers, making it easy to defend and attack from the south.
The reason why Zhu Hesheng, Qiu Hui, Chen Yonghua, and Liu Guoxuan were able to easily conquer Jieyang County was not only relying on the power of "dessert gunpowder", but also because they had a powerful enough navy to turn natural obstacles into a thoroughfare for their own troops.
However, Zhuge Military Advisor, who had a clear understanding of the strength comparison between the enemy and ourselves, after Qiu Rong went to Jieyang City to report the news, he began to explain the principles of seeking hegemony to the Heavenly King Zhu who looked a little distracted - he must not forget a "high" Build walls, accumulate food, and slowly become king." Ah!
Moreover, no matter how good, prosperous or strong Jieyang County is, it cannot be taken now...if it is taken, it will become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Qing court!
"Your Majesty, although we are lucky enough to have won a game now, after all, we have a small army and few generals, so we cannot be the ones who take the lead. Therefore, we must not take Jieyang County, the most important land... For now, we can only eat Huilai County on the edge of Danan Mountain, and rely on Danan Mountain to quietly develop our strength for the future."
Zhu Jushan glanced at Jieyang County with some reluctance and said in a low voice: "I know, I know... we need to build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become king! Alas, actually I have never thought about what I want to be. The Third Prince was all caused by you and that bad boy."
"Your Majesty, Dao Scarong has said that the third grandson is going to be successful this time. With only three hundred cavalry, he defeated Liu Jinzhong's four to five thousand men, beheaded and captured more than a thousand people alive... and also captured Jieyang County. This is so... His bravery and skill in fighting are even comparable to those of Li Shimin."
"Is he Li Shimin?" Zhu Jushan raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that I am the stupid and incompetent Li Yuan?"
"Your Majesty," Military Advisor Zhuge shook his feather fan and said with a smile, "Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, was not an incompetent person. He was the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty! And he also had more sons than you. He had twenty-two sons and nineteen. Daughter...you only have three grandsons and one son!"
"I can still give birth!" Zhu Jushan stroked his beard and said with a smile, "When that bad boy gets a wife, I will also have to marry someone to fill the house... Military advisor, do you think I have to marry a scholar?" A gift?"
"That's natural," Zhuge Military Advisor smiled, "The third grandson has already married the daughter of the big brother Hui. If you want to marry to fill the house, you'd better find a lady from a scholar-bureaucrat's family."
Zhu Jushan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, you are so pretty!"
While the two were talking, the strong men from Dananshan and Guiyudu who were following them saw hundreds of soldiers lined up neatly beside the official reception pavilion south of Nanxi Bridge from a distance!
These soldiers were all covered in scales that glistened in the sun, wore spear helmets with red feathers on their heads, and held polished sabers.
"It's the Iron Man Army!"
"It's Guo Xingye's Iron Man Army!"
"The surnamed master of the country has sent out troops!"
The strong men in Dananshan and Guiyu all cheered when they saw the Zheng family's iron army, which once dominated the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian, as if they had forgotten that they themselves had been upgraded to a more powerful force than the Zheng family's iron soldiers - —They are now "Thunder Soldiers"!
No matter how powerful the iron soldiers are, they can't withstand the indiscriminate bombardment of grenade hammers!
Zhu Jushan, Military Advisor Zhuge, Mr. Yu, and Zhao Zhongyi were also excited.
All four of them were on horseback. At this time, they all rode forward without waiting for the infantry behind them, and quickly ran towards the wasteland south of Nanxi Bridge - where the Nanxi Bridge Commercial City was originally located, where Zhu Jushan, The place where Da Bo Ling and others robbed the prisoner car and fished Zhu Qipao out of the sea of misery.
Because of this prisoner robbery incident, each of Deng Guangming's Xushun Gongfu banner soldiers received a vote, but half of the market was destroyed. Later, Mi Sihan arrived in Chaozhou Prefecture and deployed four to five thousand soldiers and horses in Jieyang County to prepare for reinforcements. However, the "rescue" was not sent, but the remaining half was also destroyed, so the place where the commercial market was originally became A wasteland.
Now Liu Guoxuan and Chen Yonghua's hundreds of iron soldiers were lined up on that wasteland, waiting for Prince Zhu San to come with their chests and bulging bellies.
Qiu Hui, Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, Zhu Hesheng, Da Boling, Master Guo, Su Yong, as well as the newly arrived Qiu Rong and Eunuch Pang, as well as other officers from the Zheng Jiajun and Qiu Jiajun, are all in the reception pavilion south of Nanxi Bridge Or standing around, everyone was very proud, with smiles on their faces. The one who smiled the sweetest among them was of course Zhu Hesheng... He had won Da Bo Ling the night before yesterday!
This big Bo Ling's body is the real deal, without any discounts! It is really fat where it should be fat, thin where it should be thin, and strong where it should be strong! And she really had her wits about her. She even had a fistfight with Zhu Hesheng that night. Although the two of them didn't really fight, it still made Zhu Hesheng very excited... After that, the two of them got tired of each other for almost a day and a night. Even when Qiu Hui and Chen Yonghua entered the city, Zhu Hesheng only showed a little bit of his nakedness. He asked Master Guo and Su Yong to help entertain them on the grounds of being overworked, and went back to the county government house to "rest".
If Qiu Rong hadn't brought the news that Zhu Jushan was about to arrive, Zhu Hesheng would definitely still be "recuperating" in the county government right now!
But even though he showed up now, his soul was still with Da Bo Ling. The two of them came together, full of affection and affection, which made Qiu Hui and Qiu Rong frown - this Da Bo Ling How come you don't respect martial ethics, no, don't respect women's ethics, and end up personally? Her "combat power" looks so strong! Can Shuzhen be able to fight her in the future?
Just as they were thinking about it, Zhu Jushan, Military Advisor Zhuge, Mr. Yu, and Zhao Zhongyi had already arrived.
This Zhu Jushan has very sharp eyes. From a distance, he can see Zhu Hesheng and Da Bo Lingni leaning together!
At this glance, you can tell that you have already done the persuasive thing!
Zhu Jushan was in a hurry now, not because of human desires or anything like that, but because these two gay couples were so disgusted in front of Qiu Hui and Qiu Rong... The boss Hui Ke regarded Shuzhen as a How could the apple of his eye tolerate his son-in-law taking a concubine before marrying his own daughter? Even if this concubine is Da Bo Ling!
Zhu Jushan thought of this and hurriedly looked at Qiu Hui's face, but saw an unhappy Qiu Hui holding a wine glass in his hand... What does this mean? So angry that you drank to drown your sorrows?
Thinking of this, Tianwang Zhu quickly got off his horse, strode up to Qiu Hui, and said "big brother". He saw Qiu Hui raised his wine glass and threw it to the ground. He heard a "pop" sound and smashed the wine glass. Got it!
Zhu Jushan was frightened now - throwing a cup as a sign? What does it mean? Have you arranged for a swordsman to chop me down? why? Could it be that the incident between Shai Zai and Da Bo Ling angered Da Lao Hui?
When Zhu Jushan was in a daze, Qiu Rong, Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, and a large group of other generals from the Qiu family and Zheng family rushed over. Moreover, Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan took out a baggage and after opening it, they took out a... dragon robe!
Dragon robe? What's the meaning?
Zhu Jushan was even more confused. At this moment, Qiu Rong and another Qiu Jiajun strongman had already held his arms on the left and right. Then Chen Yonghua and Liu Guoxuan put the dragon robe they got from nowhere on Zhu Jushan!
Then Chen Yonghua took the lead and shouted: "Please ask His Majesty King Ding to supervise the country!"
As soon as he finished shouting, other figures from the Zheng and Qiu families, including the hundreds of iron soldiers, all shouted together: "Your Highness, King Ding, is respectfully requested to supervise the country!"
