Zhu Youlang knew Zhang Jiayu's thoughts very well.

He came out of Chen's mansion and went straight to the city. If Zhang Jiayu didn't know his whereabouts, it would be a ghost. You must know that he had a scout team in his hand.

Zhang Jiayu's move can be said to be a three-killer in one fell swoop.

The reason why Zhu Youlang is willing to cooperate with him in acting is naturally because he knows that under the current situation, his actions are more beneficial than disadvantages, and public than private.

The next big battle with Li Chengdong really requires strict discipline. Even his son must be killed. The image of destroying relatives for justice is established. Who in the army dares to disobey? Although this group of mobs won a small victory with the advantage of geographical advantages and the number of people, Li Chengdong's 15,000 army is coming. It is hard to say how much morale can play. If the discipline is not strict at this time, the soldiers will not be afraid and collapse.

Besides, Zhang Jiayu has a loving heart for his son, which Zhu Youlang is happy to see. If he is so tough that he can establish his authority with his son's life, it will be really scary.

...

Zhu Youlang stood on the city wall and looked east. He thought about Zhang Jiayu's affairs and smiled at the corner of his mouth.

Dai Yilan saw that Zhu Youlang was laughing all the time, as if he was not worried about the Qing army's attack.

"Not to say, his smile is indeed contagious, and even he doesn't feel nervous at all." Dai Yilan thought to herself.

Looking at the emperor's young and handsome side face, Dai Yilan remembered that Aunt Zhao said that the emperor had only one queen and no other concubines, and her heart was pounding: "Is Aunt Zhao's saying true? I wonder what the emperor means, will he accept a Zhuang girl as his concubine?"

Zhu Youlang didn't have time to pay attention to Dai Yilan's little thoughts. Although he always smiled, he was actually very nervous. Facing Li Chengdong's 15,000 army, he had no idea whether he could hold on for five days.

As the emperor, he must make a gesture of being confident that everything is under control. Only in this way can he give his ministers confidence. If he can play the piano, he wants to learn Zhuge Liang, pretend to be a song, and sing two Beijing accents: "I am watching the mountain scenery on the city tower, and I hear the chaos outside the city..."

Li Chengdong is not Sima Yi and he cannot be scared away. However, the morale of the defenders will be greatly boosted, which is certain.

The village soldiers on the top of the city were busy. Zhu Youlang noticed that everyone had a solemn look on their faces. Zhang Hu's face was ashen, his eyes were red, he had only a single dress on his upper body, and he was carrying a long knife in his hand. He kept swearing: "The sword and shield are in front of him, the archer is in the second row, and the spearman is in the third row. Mom, who dares to take a step back? My sword will cut him first!"

Zhu Youlang thought to himself: "It seems that after losing the battle, this guy is really angry."

Zhu Youlang's eyes swept to a cannon of the Francophone, and his heart moved: "Why did you forget this thing? This is a powerful weapon to defend the city."

There is one directly above the city gate, one on both sides, and three on a total of three. If used well, it can cause severe damage to the Qing army.

He hurried back to the city gate tower and saw Chen Zizhuang writing a letter, but Zhang Jiayu was not there. He knew that he had gone to set up the city defense and asked, "Jisheng, is he writing a letter to Lin Cha?"

"Emperor." Seeing Zhu Youlang back, Chen Zizhuang quickly stood up and greeted him.

"Sit down, and meet every day in the future, there is no need to be so much courtesy."

"Yes, the emperor. I am indeed writing a letter to Lin Cha, telling him the situation here. In addition, I also wrote a letter to Lin Jue, asking him to immediately strengthen the walls and clear the fields, evacuate the people, and then drive the fleet to the south of Guangzhou and stand by on the Pearl River."

"Well. Tell Lin Cha that Chen Jitai must cut the mess quickly. In addition, we will draw an order to Qu Shishi. It would be best for Chen Jitai to surrender, so let him and Qu Shishi lead troops to Guangzhou immediately. If he insists on not surrendering, he will not force him to remove his military power and let Qu Shishi lead troops to Guangzhou." Zhu Youlang issued an order casually: "After these things, Lin Cha immediately led the navy to advance east as planned to block Li Chengdong's retreat."

"I obey the order."

"Jisheng, the cannons on the top of the city must be used."

"Your Majesty, I am in the Ministry of War and I know a lot about the situation. These Fran cannons were removed from the Red-haired Ghost Ship, and the gunpowder was prepared quite well, but there were too few shells. In addition, the gunners were all the original imperial guards."

"It's enough gunpowder, it doesn't matter if the shells are not enough. Prepare more iron, stones, or even tiles. Is the imperial guard..." Zhu Youlang pondered for a while and said, "What's the name for someone to find Su Guansheng's nephew?"

"Su Xiong."

"I will ask someone to find Su Xiong. For the sake of Su Guansheng's heroic sacrifice, I will not hold him responsible for his abandonment of his lord for escaping. If he still wants the entire Su family to have a happy meal, ask him to summon the original imperial guards immediately to help defend the city. If I really can't help him, I will definitely sacrifice him and vent my anger to Emperor Shaowu!" Zhu Youlang said fiercely, biting his white teeth.

"I obey the order!" Chen Zizhuang did not expect that he would not be vague at all when he looked at the emperor who had been laughing. He quickly agreed and sent someone to find Su Xiong, then sat down to write a letter and draft an order.

Zhu Youlang sat on the chair and thought about the methods he knew about defending the city. In addition to artillery and bows, there seemed to be another weapon - golden juice.

Boiled feces and urine are known as "golden juice". In ancient times, many people were used to defend cities. Not only could they burn and kill enemies, but the feces were also dirty and rotten, making them difficult to heal.

The reason why I think of this kind of poison is that there is a folk remedy in traditional Chinese medicine, also called gold juice. This so-called gold juice is to collect feces, plus the best well water or underground springs, and the soil is red soil. After multiple processes, it is buried underground. Generally, after 20 to 30 years, Chinese medicine will be formed, which can cure the poisoning of the heat disease in the sky.

I heard that Jinji guarding the city was a common method used in ancient times. I wonder how ancient this matter is. Do people now know?

"Jisheng, have you heard of Jinji guarding the city?" Zhu Youlang asked Chen Zizhuang.

"Jinjue guarding the city?" Chen Zizhuang replied blankly: "What is Jinjue guarding the city?"

"Jinjue guards the city..." Zhu Youlang explained it and finally said: "This method is very lethal, and the person who is scalded is basically not likely to survive. Isn't Jisheng too poisonous?"

The reason why Zhu Youlang has such concerns is mainly because of the concept of later generations. Using biochemical weapons will be labeled as "crime against humanity".

This damn golden juice is no less than biochemical weapons, right?

"Your Majesty, killing enemies on the battlefield only requires effectiveness, so why should you care about whether you are poisonous or not? Compared to the city being destroyed, this is really nothing." Chen Zizhuang replied.

"Okay, Bai Xing, send someone to say to Zhang Aiqing and make him ready." Zhu Youlang said.

Bai Xing agreed and went out.

After arranging this, Zhu Youlang felt that he was still not relieved. How could he cause another big trouble for Li Chengdong?
