Chapter 72 The Three Temples
On March 15th, the God of Wealth's birthday, Deng Zilong, who escorted the first batch of Asian baggage fleets, returned to the end.
Back in Acapulco, Deng Zilong boarded the Nantang, the main battleship named Qi Jiguang, as the admiral of the fleet, and commanded the fleet to set off south.
When the fleet leaves the harbor, the eastern mountains are thundering, and a heavy rain will come across the mountain.
The huge mountains not only separate the coast from the plateau, but also divide the east and west sides into different climatic areas. Shanxi is dry, hot, and Shandong is cool and rainy, which also determines that there are only a few canyons to take when attacking Mexico City by the coast.
Magui always had some suspicion about this mountain range. He felt that this huge mountain range should be connected with the mountains seen in the northern Black Shui Mart Islands, so he always felt that Chen Mu's subordinates drew the map slanted.
Chen Mu felt that his fleet had brought too much supplies, which made Magui's all-you-can-eat and have time to consider these issues.
Through the investigation of the scouts of Lin Manjue's troops, the Eastern Military Office had more knowledge of the road leading to Mexico City in the east. It was roughly flat to the east along the official road, passing through two small rivers and a canyon across the mountains a hundred miles away. These places were easier to defend than the other.
On this hundred miles of road, the terrain gradually rises. When you cross the canyon, there is a plateau, and it is even more like a mountain. Only near the road can there be a small number of villages.
There is also a road from the north to the east of the port, which is the road when Shao Tingda returned after winning the White Horse, and it is also full of dangers.
In other words, Shao Tingda launched an attack without the enemy and us not expecting them to attack. If Bernard was a fool guarding the ambush along the line, their battle would be very ugly.
In any case, Shao Tingda and Fu Yuan landed without authorization, winning the rewards that the soldiers should have. The harvest of the capture of Tasco was retrieved by the military administration. The Military Affairs Department then set the reward amount and the Operation Department allocated silver. In the end, the soldiers were rewarded more than they got in Yincheng.
In addition, those who should be punished will also be punished. Now the two of them lead their troops one north and one south respectively to find dangerous places to garrison troops and repair the pass according to the map given by the Port Army Bureau.
Chen Mu found that the generals and officials who graduated from the martial arts lecture hall in the military were very interesting. Perhaps because the martial arts lecture hall textbooks he compiled were divided into three sections for digging trenches in the soil work. They were first dug from the fox pits, digging the fox pits and then expanding them into half-body trenches, and then expanding them into upright trenches, and finally connecting them to form trenches.
As a result, the Army Bureau's fortification drawings for front-line troops now take into account the situation of war during the construction process, and they have created a fortification before the war.
First, we dug the trench. After the trench was dug, a few cut ruler-high logs were built on the front frame. Another layer of the trench was built. A layer of bunker was piled with soil and stones on the outer edge, and a rain cannon was built to form a two-layer structure.
The flag army in the lower trench fired out from the gaps in the logs, and the upper trench observed and shot behind the bunker. With the wood, soil, stone and supplies carrying a small amount of cement, the simple fortifications can be repaired soon.
Several such intermittent trench barrier walls form a key road defensive fortification. After repairing the situation and time, further set up horse-resistance, trenches or strengthen structures on the periphery to increase defense capabilities.
Yang Ting from the Military Weapons Bureau highly praised this set of things. The flag army also built two barrier trenches in places where the port beach is prone to land. When he led Chen Mu to urge the flag army to excavate, he introduced: "This can be built during the battle. The flag army in front is guarded, and the flag army in back can be built."
"When our troops broke through, our troops had dug the arms pits, and the flag army relied on the arms pits to fight. When we dug the trenches, we relied on the trenches to fight. When we dug the trenches, we relied on the trenches to fight with the trenches. With preliminary defense, we could build fortresses in the rear."
Chen Mu really wanted to call this the spirit of copycat, but it was not suitable. However, the people of the Ming Dynasty did have a strong spirit and found that something was easy to use, and they could use this method on everything they could use.
Just like the Franchise machine, the cannons that were originally just wrought iron bars were widely used by the Ming Dynasty people to various types of cannons and even muskets, and were used well.
Zou Yuanbiao, who was not sure who he was, made good progress.
Perhaps the local people personally felt the force of the Ming army to drive away the Western Army, or the lenient treatment of laws, and Chen Mu, who was unwilling to stay, respected their wishes and let them go. At least until now, the Ming army and the local people have gotten along quite well.
The local people are not resistant to learning Chinese, and they can understand Spanish, and they do not affect normal communication. In order to win people's hearts, the military government hired some indigenous people to work with one-third of the salary of the military craftsman.
Since the simple brick and tile kiln was repaired and fired, it was only a matter of ten minutes before the blue bricks were released from the kiln. Then the bricks and tiles of the kiln were continuously transported into the village by workers.
The Han School in the city, the Jun Temple in the north of the city, the Wenchang Temple in the south of the city, and the Chenghuang Temple in the east of the city were built one by one. The City God worshipped the ordinary flag army named Fan Keyin, whose subordinate Shao Tingda was named Fan Keyin, who was called the City God because he was single-handedly thrust the iron horse in the battle.
In the Wenchang Temple, the Emperor Zhang Yazi of Wenchang and the Heaven and the Earth are deaf and the Earth are dumb. In the Daojun Temple, the True Lord Zhao Gongming of Dragon and Tiger Xuantan and Zhao Bao Na Zhenshi. In addition to the statue of the God of Wealth, the body covering the mountain, Wen Jia, the iron hat and helmet on the head, and the shoulders and shoulders with two exquisitely carved hand guns.
Chen Mu said that this was the beginning of magical realism in sculptures in Ming Dynasty.
The market was also planned and was at the entrance of the Daojun Temple to get a good start. Although the shops, tiles and warehouses were only reserved for construction land yet, the road was built very quickly.
Thanks to the large amount of over-fired bricks, under-fired bricks and excessive manpower in the port during the firing of blue bricks, two carriage tracks that directly lead to the port were quickly built.
All this was seen by the former New Spain Governor Almansa and the monk Acosta. The monk only had praise and doubts about it, but when he told the doubts to the predecessors, the boss did not provide him with any correct answers.
"They have achieved great success in architecture, complex writing and strong empires, and strong army support. If they were not seen with their own eyes, I would hardly believe that they were not just barbarians who were transcending the barbarian state, perhaps they were not barbarians themselves."
"But if they were not savages, without Jesus, who would teach them the truth to let them escape the disaster?"
"They will enthrone the dead soldiers on behalf of the emperor, and create statues of gods in temples in a dignified manner, just as the king enthroned knights."
