The sun was hanging in mid-air, and the sun shone on the top of Ningyuan City. The breeze could not blow up the hanging Ming army flag. The latter hung his head weakly, and the morale of the defenders was at this moment.

Depressed, powerless, decadent!

The tens of thousands of people gathered in Ningyuan City by Emperor Chongzhen is now a group of pigs.

They were afraid of being beaten by the Qing army and were reluctant to leave the city at all. Fan Zhiwan ordered them with the will of Emperor Chongzhen, and it was no longer useful now. Ma Ke's lesson is unforgettable.

It can be said that at this time, the plants and trees in Ningyuan City were defeated and thousands of horses were silenced!

Fan Zhiwan, Qiu Minyang and other civil and military officials quarreled every day, quarreling for quarrels, otherwise, what else could they do?

But this is just a fake busyness, but the port in Ningyuan is really busy.

A large number of refugees were sent to Juehua Island not far from the port to work together to build a city. Shen Tingyang was responsible for the latter's affairs. However, Chen Tingyang was responsible for repairing the only port and building the city.

The huge Juehua Island is the largest island in the Liao Sea. It has wide ends and narrow middle, and is irregular gourd-shaped, hanging alone in the sea. Its actual area seems to be the size of Zhifu Island. However, there are many mountains, especially the east and south sides of the island. However, there are a large amount of flat land in the northwest of the island.

It can be said that this island, which is very close to Ningyuan City, can actually be used in a large place except for the mountains. For example, the original ruins of Tunliangcheng are located in the northwest of the island.

The Battle of Juehua Island has been around for twenty years, and the city has been destroyed by Jianlu for almost twenty years. However, the foundation site is still clearly visible.

The entire Tunliang City is rectangular, about 500 meters long from north to south and about 250 meters wide from east to west. There is a gate on the north wall to connect to the port outside the city, which is a passage for transportation of grain and equipment; there are two gates on the south wall to connect with the "Dragon Neck" to facilitate the exchange of the island; there are no doors on the east and west walls, which are conducive to defense. There are grain storage stocks, piles of materials and the remains of the barracks of the officers and soldiers guarding the city, and a drainage ditch that runs across the north and south.

But the area of ​​such a city is only 0.125 square kilometers, covering an area of ​​about 200 mu, which is only one percent of the entire island area.

In addition to Tunliang City, there are also large areas of available space for large-scale creation.

Zheng Zhilong’s idea was to take root on this island. Even when the situation changes greatly in the future and the world is shaking, the Zheng family has troops stationed on the island, which can make the Tartars feel like they are stuck in their throats!

Therefore, he set up a fortress around the city and established a foothold on Juehua Island. He entrusted Han Lin all these things.

The latter was from the western Jin Dynasty. His ancestors were Han Chong (who was once the Minister of Works of Nanjing). However, his father was not a legitimate branch of the Han family and was unable to be wise in the officialdom. In his early years, Han Lin traveled to Jiangnan with his brother and first came into contact with Western learning. Although he passed the imperial examination, he was at the peak of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch party and stopped entering the officialdom. Is his brother there? The latter is currently the prefect of Hanzhong.

Han Lin returned home and started a private school. Later, he was introduced by the missionary Gao Yizhi and accepted public education. He became the first person to receive rituals in Jiangzhou. Over the past ten years, he developed more than 200 believers.

This person has been teaching and educating for twenty years. If he is just a Confucian scholar, he will not be able to see Zheng Zhilong's eyes. But Han Lin is one of the few people in this era who are well-versed in Chinese and Western learning. He has studied firearms, city building, and agriculture, and has written "The Complete Book of Rescuing the Waste", "The Fort Pictures", "The Complete Book of Artifacts", "The Complete Book of Guarding the Land", etc.

Especially the "Shougui Quanshu" was an extremely important military work in the late Ming Dynasty.

It was just because this book was rarely printed and was later banned by the Qing Dynasty and was almost lost in later generations. No one had conducted in-depth research on this work. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of information in the future, the "Shouyuanquan Book" would probably be very rarely known.

In short, Mr. Han is proficient in priests. At least in China today, he is already the best.

After Zheng Zhilong made up his mind to go north, he thought of the problem of building a bastion on Juehua Island. He was going to find a few foreigners in Macau, but someone recommended Xu Guangqi's nephew Chen Yujie to him. Although the latter was not proud of the imperial examination, he had made great achievements in astronomy and military because he followed Xu Guangqi to study Western learning since childhood. In the 12th year of Chongzhen, he was recommended by Shi Kefa to become a doctor of the Jinling Imperial Heaven Supervision. But this is a free job!

It was also Chen Yujie who recommended Han Lin to Zheng Zhilong and talked about his masterpiece "The Complete Book of Guarding the World".

Not to mention, Zheng Zhilong had no impression of the name Han Lin, but he still had some memory of "Shougui Quanshu". It comes from the novel. Because he couldn't read the word "Yu", he even asked the Du Niang specifically.

On Juehua Island now, Shen Tingyang wanted to build Tunliangcheng and reorganize the port terminal, while Han Lin wanted to build bastions of different sizes, even if this bastion was just an incomplete bastion. Because Zheng Zhilong remembered it very clearly that the bastion was completely perfected by Colemontane in 1740.

But even so, the four-edged protruding artillery with cross firepower and solid defense also reflects the advantages of the bastion building with great satisfaction.

In addition to the main buildings in the northwest of the island, the castle will also appear in the middle and west sides of the island, which require a lot of manpower and material resources.

The mistake is not that the money and grain for building a city is borne by Zheng Zhilong. Such a huge measure is not something that the Ming court can afford today.

But the same goes for the issue of ownership of Juehua Island in the future.

Zheng Zhilong used the construction of Juehua Island to express his attitude to Beijing City - that it was nailed to the Liaohai Sea. In exchange for the ownership of Juehua Island and even some potential interests of Zheng's family in Denglai.

All of this is a secret transaction and cannot be obtained from the table. It is not something that these ignorant folks at the dock can know and understand.

Their biggest wish is to have food in one bite, so that they can ignore the future belonging of Juehua Island.

But today, everyone present was destined to have fresh topics of talk. They were very lucky to meet the Clippers who sent Zheng Zhilong to reward the victory!

"A great victory, great victory. Zheng Dashui defeated Yaozhou, killed the city and guarded Niulu Zhangjingtuan and five hundred people below, pacified Yaozhou, and returned..."

"Great victory, great victory. Zheng Dashui defeated Yaozhou..."

Everyone at the port terminal was stunned. A great victory, can there be a great victory outside this pass? Aren’t it all defeats? And, where is Yaozhou?

Many low-level ordinary people have no idea where Yaozhou is.

But this does not prevent them from cheering and screaming, nor does it prevent them from becoming excited. Yaozhou and Zhangjing and others know, and they know the number of five hundred!

When baskets of people's heads were piled up on the pier, when the transferred carriage pulled baskets of people's heads into Ningyuan City, the entire city's military and civilians were all sensational, excited, and crazy...

In Ningyuan City, Qiu Minyang was helplessly writing a memorial. No matter how anxious the capital was urging, what could the troops could not be beaten?

Although Fan Zhiwan was the one who was under the greatest pressure, as the governor of Liaodong, the heavy pressure on his shoulders was quite large. Especially since he had to reach out to ask for money and food from the court. This made people feel ashamed and embarrassed.

Just when he was upset, there seemed to be shouting outside the house. Qiu Minyang angrily put on his pen, "Why is it so noisy?"

Ningyuan City is a key military place, and it cannot tolerate the common people being presumptuous.

"Master, Master. It's so happy. Zheng Dashui sent someone to report the victory, saying that he had defeated Yaozhou, leveled Yaozhou City, and cut off hundreds of Tartars' heads..." Chang Sui also said with a smile on his face.

"What?"

The sudden huge surprise made Qiu Minyang feel dizzy in an instant. Just like the person who could not eat meat for many years was fainted by the meat.

"Where is the person coming?"

"Master, that person goes to Supervisor Fan..." Fan Zhiwan is the largest boss outside the pass, in charge of military affairs. How could Zheng Zhilong come to Qiu Minyang, who is in charge of food and wages? Chang Sui thought that his master had been... anxious and confused recently?
