Chapter 52
As soon as Emperor Zhengde led his army to Zhuozhou, the worst news came.

Wang Yangming, the governor of Southern Jiangxi, didn't know how to understand the holy will at all, and even led the army to conquer without waiting for the imperial court's decree, and captured the unsatisfactory King Ning alive.

Wu Zong heard that he stomped his feet, beat his chest, and screamed. You said you Wang Yangming, why are you so anxious.This counter-rebellion work belongs to me, how dare you snatch it?The traitors are all caught, let me kiss the ass?

Full of displeasure, Wu Zong hid the battle report and continued to lead the army to set off, eating, drinking and having fun in Yangzhou, and even went to a brothel to inspect the women's army, so indulged.

After more than eight months of turmoil, old Mr. Wang Yangming was anxious enough.He had detained King Ning in Nanjing for half a year, begging the emperor to be captured, but Wu Zong refused.

In the end, old Mr. Wang Yangming finally got the hang of it, and once again reported that all the credit was due to General Zhu Shou, and that the chaos could be put down quickly only by his old man's mighty virtue and strategy.

As for Mr. Wang's heroic deeds of personally risking Shishi, fighting Poyang, and capturing King Ning, naturally he dare not write a word.Sure enough, when this book was handed in, Wu Zong immediately agreed to play it.

After being captured, Zhu Houzhao finally reluctantly agreed to return north.

But after walking for a few days, Wu Zong felt that he was still unsatisfied, and said to his ministers: "Why don't you forget this time, let's put King Ning back, let him rebel again, and I will defeat and capture him with my own hands. Awesome!
The ministers are so confused, they still play with such things...

Now, the young emperor also looks like he is eager to fight a war. He not only commands by remote control, but also designs something to defend the city.

Craftsmanship, Gao Bangzuo felt unreliable when he heard these two words.

Looking at Xiong Tingbi's expression, as well as the arrangements for the past few days, one could tell that Xiong Tingbi did not dare to use the emperor's "craft".Opening his mouth, Gao Bangzuo swallowed the words he asked carefully.

Craftsmanship is craftsmanship, after all, it's a wish, as long as the young emperor doesn't yell "Yujia's personal conquest", thank God!
...............

In the 24th year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty set up Guangning Central and Zuo Tunwei, and Jinxian County was under its jurisdiction.

In the 26th year of Ming Hongwu, Guangning Youtunwei was established, and it was first established in Shisanshanbao.In the following year, it moved to Linhai Township (now Youwei Town) in Zaoluyang County, and was subordinate to the Liaodong Metropolitan Command and Envoy Division.

The specific location of Youtun Weicheng is Youwei Manchu Town, [-] miles southeast of Linghai City in later generations, on the left bank of the Daling River Basin, only [-] to [-] miles away from the Liaodong Bay sea in the south.

Compared with the scale of Guangning City, Youtun Weicheng is not as good as it is. It is about 300 meters from north to south, 230 meters wide from east to west, and has four gates.

As Xiong Tingbi said, a small city also has the advantages of a small city, requiring fewer soldiers and greatly shortening the length of defense.

What's more, there are quite a few defenders in the Youtun Weicheng. They have assembled the troops from the surrounding forts and piers, as well as the defeated army in Shaling, plus the [-] soldiers sent by Xiong Tingbi, there are now [-] soldiers. Yu people.

The men and horses who came to meet up on the piers of various fortresses also brought forty or fifty artillery pieces of various sizes, as well as a large number of gunpowder and projectiles.

Although it is only small, it still increases the confidence of the defenders in the city when it is placed on the top of the city for defense.

What's more--in addition to these small artillery, there is also the emperor's craftsmanship to help out!

On the top of the city, Zu Dashou, Du Zhenyu, and the counselor Xing Shenyan sent by Xiong Tingbi are patrolling.

Looking at the thick logs erected on the battlements that were covered with thick ice, there were two to three hundred logs on all sides, Zu Dashou and several generals had strange expressions on their faces.

Du Zhenyu, a hundred householder in Jinyiwei, still had that poker face, occasionally pursing the corners of his mouth, which looked like a smile but didn't look like it.

Beside him is another Jinyiwei hundred household named Gou Zhenhuai, with a smile on his face, talking non-stop like a chatterbox.

"This is the handicraft of the Holy One——" Gou Zhenhuai patted the rough log with iron hoops, and cupped his hands towards the capital, "It's just a tree, if you saw it, it becomes a cannon... ..."

Pine cannons and elm cannons are simple and easy to make, that is, a hole is cut in the middle of the wood, or it is sawed and hollowed out from the middle, and then fastened with iron hoops.

Then fill it with black powder, fill it with gravel and iron, plug the muzzle with grass, and fire it, like a large shotgun.

This thing is simple and easy to make. Tens of thousands of soldiers felled the woods outside the city, and brought more than 2000 trees into the castle in half a day.After simple processing, hundreds of "big sprayers" were erected at the top of the city in one day.

Now the city is still processing this thing, and the total number is still growing.Thousands of "cannons" sound scary.

After experimentation, this thing can be hit a few times, and even a single shot can shake out cracks in the wood.Well, the shooting range is about three to forty meters.

In the past, Zu Dashou and other generals in the army would definitely treat this thing as garbage, and they wouldn't take it for nothing.

But what time is it now, once the Hou Jin army comes to attack, bricks that can smash people are useful.

What's more, this wooden cannon was designed by the Holy Majesty, and it only takes a little effort and gunpowder. Even if it is scrapped after spraying it for a while, it is worth it!

Gou Zhenhuai, a hundred households of Jinyiwei, was still enthusiastically introducing and praising, "My lords, have you seen the line of rotten branches piled up under the city? As long as the enemy crosses, use this wood to bombard his mother*. It's not blowing, just a cannon It is not difficult to knock down three, four, five, six, seven or eight of him."

Zu Dashou nodded vigorously, and praised: "The sage is wise and intelligent, so he can design this weapon for defending the city; Gou Baihu is also thoughtful and thoughtful. The advantage of this cannon is that it is simple and easy to make. It can injure several enemies with one cannon. Even if you throw it away, you will make a lot of money."

Simple and easy to make, high cost performance, this is the biggest advantage of pine gun and elm spray.Moreover, the caliber is still large, and it sprays a large area, which is more powerful than the three-eyed gun.

"Wow!" Gou Zhenhuai seemed to have met his confidant, and he looked at Zu Dashou differently, and gave a thumbs up with a smile, "What General Zu said, after the bombardment of this wood, throw it into the city Rolling log, how many enemies can you hit!"

Counselor Xing Shenyan smiled, changed the subject, patted the thick ice on the battlements and said: "This method of freezing ice and solidifying the city was used by a famous general in ancient times. It is now being used in Youtun Weicheng. It is very clever at the right time. "

Gou Zhenhuai chuckled, cupped his hands and said: "San Xing has won the award. I heard this method was mentioned in the storytelling book, so let's try it, it's just a lucky chance."

Du Zhenyu looked down at the city wall, and said: "The city wall and the city below are also frozen, and there is no room for slippery feet. If the Hou Jin army wants to dig the wall and climb the city, I am afraid that they will suffer a big loss. Brother Gou, you really put your heart into it. "

Gou Zhenhuai kicked the sack on the edge of the city wall, and said with a smile, "If it's not slippery enough, I prepared soybeans and black beans and threw them down the city..."

Ice surface with round and rolling beans? !The corner of Zu Dashou's mouth twitched, and he said to himself: This girl is really bad enough.
