Chapter 108 Raidenxiu Fortress Group
Zhao Peng and Gao Wencai, wearing red flying fish suits and wingless black gauze hats, walked into Penglai County with twelve Jinyiwei captains wearing wingless black gauze hats and black flying fish suits, and one hundred Jinyiwei wearing six-petal steep iron helmets and black armor.
When he heard that the Jinyiwei was coming, the county magistrate Chen Jinglun hurriedly brought a group of yamen runners out to greet him.
"Where is Governor Laden Zeng Hualong?" Gao Wencai asked without seeing Governor Laden.
Chen Jinglun hurriedly replied: "After returning to this general, he has been rebelling and entered Beijing, he has been reluctant to rebel and abandoned his official position and ran away."
Gao Wencai said: "The rebellion was defeated by Jiannu half a month ago. If it was not as expected by my official, the chief Fulin of the captain should have ascended the throne in the capital!"
"The chief of the lord is Fulin? I heard that it is the six-year-old who is a little Jiannu?" Chen Jinglun said.
Gao Wencai nodded: "It's this person! This little Jiannu is just a puppet of the captive chief Dorgon. We are going to escort the prince south to Nanjing to ascend the throne. By this place, we hope Chenxianzun can provide convenience."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is here too?" Chen Jinglun was shocked.
Gao Wencai said: "Your Highness the Crown Prince was seasick. He vomited for a day and night yesterday and was still resting on the boat. Originally, Your Highness the Crown Prince wanted to get off the boat to rest, but was worried that Jiannu had arrived in Laiden, so he ordered us to come and explore the way."
Chen Jinglun replied: "There are people fleeing from the north and heard that Jiannu had occupied Tianjin, Dezhou, Linqing and other places, and they have not yet arrived."
"Have Jiannu arrived in Dezhou? Then aren't they very close to Jinan?" Zhao Peng asked in surprise.
"Zhen Jiannu took the banner of revenge for the late emperor. Wherever he went, the gentry and the people all welcomed him. The Jiannu army moved south from the capital, and the road was unstoppable, and no one resisted at all." Chen Jinglun sighed.
Zhao Peng was furious: "Jiannu is not my race after all, can his words be trustworthy? The so-called revenge for the late emperor is to steal the excuse of our Chinese! He was defeated in the rebellion and left the prince to flee. We were guarding the prince in Lianpeng Mountain, Shanhaiguan. Jiannu actually pretended to call the prince a fake, but actually wanted to harm the prince! He will always be the orthodox of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Jiannu is so sinister and cruel!" Chen Jinglun said angrily.
"The so-called avenging the late emperor is the plan of the old thief Hong Chengchou!" Gao Wencai snorted coldly.
"Hong Chengchou!" Chen Jinglun said angrily, "Sweep the floor with politeness! Sweep the floor with politeness! As a Chinese scholar, he actually defected to Jiannu and even offered a vicious plan for Jiannu!"
Zhao Peng sneered: "The old thief Hong Chengchou surrendered to Jiannu, so he shaved his hair and changed his clothes. He shaved his head and left a rat-tail braid behind his head. Maybe he himself felt that the rat-tail was embarrassing and was scolded. Therefore, the thief was determined to seize the world for Jiannu! Let me be the rat-tail of China, and no one would scold him at that time."
I heard that Hong Chengchou was so sinister. Except for the magistrate Chen Jinglun, all scholars were angry and shouted in anger that they wanted to eliminate Hong Chengchou, a dog thief.
But at this time, someone asked worriedly: "But people say that the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible. How can we scholars resist the invasion of Jiannu?"
"As long as I have righteousness in my heart, I can match a hundred thousand powerful troops!" a scholar said with righteousness.
Chen Jinglun snorted: "You want to say that the Tartars have maces, do I have a spirit cap?"
Zhao Peng said: "Chen County is right! A righteous person cannot stop Jiannu! Can you really use the Tianling Gai to stop Jiannu? If you want to use a weak brigade to block Jiannu's elite soldiers, you need to build a large-scale construction and build a castle to resist Jiannu!"
The gentle flapping of the butterfly's wings made the area of Laiden, which had been in history, soon turned into a fortress against the Qing Dynasty. On the land of Laiden, the gentry and the people built a scattered castle group, taking the sea behind it as the rear. With the two powerful naval divisions, the Zheng Family Navy and the Laiden Navy, as the logistics supply lines, they repelled the Qing army's attacks again and again.
Zhao Peng took a large piece of paper, took out a charcoal pen from his sleeve, and painted it on the paper. After a while, a floor plan of a ridge was drawn.
The complex floor plan dazzled Chen Jinglun and the onlookers. Zhao Peng explained it to them for a long time, but most of them were still confused.
"Is the city three feet high? Is it useful to be so low?" Chen Jinglun asked.
Zhao Peng said with a smile: "The low city wall can prevent the bombardment of Jiannu and Red Arts cannons. Although the city wall is low, there are platforms three feet higher than the ground under the city wall, and there are trenches four feet deep under the platform. The three add up to more than ten feet high. Isn't this considered short?"
"It's not too short, but it's divided into three sections with one meter high. So isn't Jiannu getting up much more glorious?" Chen Jinglun asked again.
"Now that we have entered the age of firearms, we can no longer consider the problem with the original method of defending the city. Although it is much easier for Jiannu to climb, as long as our defenders have enough firearms, they can continue to shoot Jiannu! The disadvantage of firearms is that they are slow to load, and before they are loaded, the enemy will rush to the front. There are city walls and trenches that block the firearms, which allow firearms to load and kill the enemy calmly. The power of firearms is far better than cold weapons. This bastion is a castle that fully exerts the power of firearms. "Zhao Peng said in a plan gesture.
Besides, the Crown Prince Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing were not willing to stay on the boat for a while. They took a break for a while and felt that they had recovered a little, so they couldn't wait to get off the boat.
Zheng Sen did not dare to stop the prince and the princess, so he had to ask them to escort them off the ship.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Princess arrived!" The long shouts of the soldiers of the Zheng family came from the dock outside the city.
When Chen Jinglun learned that the prince and the prince had entered the city, he quickly organized the gentry and the people to greet him at the city gate.
Zhu Cixuan and Princess Kunxing, surrounded by Jinyiwei and Zheng family soldiers, walked into Penglai County. The county magistrate and local gentry and people welcomed each other. In the past, this was just a small seaside town. When did the local people meet the prince and princess? I heard that the prince and princess were coming down, and the common people rushed to see the prince and princess.
After escape, the prince appeared in front of the gentry and the people at this time, and he already had a momentum of dominating the world, which made the gentry and people who were greeting him knelt on the ground and bowed three times and shouted long live. Princess Kunxing, who was following the prince, had a graceful and luxurious temperament. She didn't look like a 14- or five-year-old girl, which made Zhao Peng, who was standing in the crowd to welcome the prince and the princess, stunned: I didn't expect that this little girl would have such temperament. Why didn't I feel it before?
This is actually easy to understand. When Zhao Peng first met Princess Kunxing, it was the moment when she was in trouble. She was like a phoenix with broken wings falling to the ground. Naturally, she couldn't feel the noble royal temperament on her body. Now the princess is completely safe. It is the first time that she appeared in front of the people who were welcomed by the street as a princess. Her noble temperament on her body was naturally revealed.
Since Governor Zeng Hualong left his post and fled without saying goodbye, the Governor's Mansion has been empty, and the county magistrate Chen Jinglun dared not overthrow the situation and moved into the Governor's Mansion to live. At this time, the emperor and the princess came, and the Governor's Mansion happened to serve as their temporary palace.
When the prince arrived, there were a lot of essential etiquettes. After a series of long and complicated etiquettes, the brother and sister finally moved into the temporary palace arranged by Chen Jinglun for them.
"Your Highness, why are you not on the boat but you are coming ashore?" Zhao Peng asked, "Zheng Sen is really, why don't you drive the boat as soon as possible and send you to Nanjing early?"
Princess Kunxing snorted: "General Zhao, you only care about getting ashore, and you don't care about our brothers and sisters anymore? Do you know that we were vomiting on the boat and even vomiting bile completely! I heard from Zheng's army that it will take five days and nights to get to Nanjing from here! We were exhausted from vomiting for a day and night. If we could still live to Nanjing for five days and nights? We wouldn't take the boat, so we should go to Nanjing by land."
