The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 104 How to fight this island?
Not long after Cuihua and Heiwa woke up, an imperial physician came to the palace. The queen also gave a cart of medicinal materials, including two sticks of century-old ginseng, as well as a lot of donkey-hide gelatin and bird's nest. After the imperial physician took Heiwa's pulse carefully, Prescribed a decoction and a bunch of medicinal meals for half a month.

With a bitter face, Uncle Zhongqin can only recuperate at home. He was really hurt, but there is space and streams, and Cuihua is still confident that he can make up for him.

The palace was quiet, and everything was so weird that it seemed normal as if nothing had happened.

A few days later, the emperor issued two imperial edicts:

[-]. The son of the Marquis of Ji’an, fornicating the harem, committed heinous crimes, ransacked all the families, and all the property was returned to the state treasury. All the above men were beheaded, and the women were sold as slaves. The men below were sent to the frontier, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing for three generations.

[-]. Lady Li, fornicating the harem, committing heinous crimes, her natal historians ransacked all the houses, and all the property was returned to the state treasury. All the above males were beheaded, and the females were sold into slavery.

After checking and searching, no substantial evidence could be found at all. Xia Hongdi became angry, and he directly lost face and sentenced the two families to death.

In the past dynasties, to be honest, this incident is not uncommon, but which emperor didn't punish him with other crimes?But this one, why is he playing cards so unreasonably!

Originally, after the new year, the draft should be a major event on the agenda, but no one dared to urge it this time, after all, the emperor had just been crowned.

However, more than 200 older maids were released from the palace at once, and many of them were invited back home by nobles. Who doesn't have many daughters?In terms of good rules, there is no better than the royal family, right?
Just as everyone held their breath and shrunk their necks to face up, the imperial court received another report that the Japanese attacked my Daxia Shield Fish Island!

Yes, in the eyes of the officials of the Great Xia court, Dunyu Island is already our territory. Didn’t you see that our dynasty has stationed troops on it?
This was the first battle Xia Hongdi encountered after he ascended the throne, and it was also a rare maritime war with other countries overseas.

The generals were in high spirits. They hadn't fought for a few years, and they were all panicked. What's the point of training soldiers, they have to go to the battlefield to practice.

Some applied to fight, and some wanted to go to the coast to train and cheer. The civil servants had a lot of opinions, and they also suggested sending a letter of condemnation to the Wa country, trying to reason.

On Dunyu Island, General Gao Huaiyu Gao has been surrounded by the Japanese army on the island.

On the ships of the Japanese army, there were also five Western cannons bought from Westerners. There are not many countries in the West that have Western cannons. Smuggled back home there.

Kinoshita Toujiro has not recovered from his serious injury last time. He is one of the best children in their family. Because of this, the family gave Daxia a lot of eye drops from the Emperor.

In addition, this time, an informant from Daxia informed that there is actually a big gold mine on this shield fish island, so the Kinoshita Fuji family can't sit still.

This attack came about by uniting with another family of military generals from the Wa Kingdom. The news they got was that there were 5 Daxia navy troops on the island, 30 soldiers from the Wa Kingdom, and countless ronin warriors.

The two families brought 1 soldiers and more than [-] samurai this time. Now Daxia does not have a sea ship that can sail long distances, and they are not afraid that Daxia will kill their hometown.

Under the suppression of artillery fire, dozens of ships approached slowly, encircling them.

However, today's Shieldfish Island is not as poor as it was a year ago!
High concrete walls were built on this island group. The shells bombarded the pier for half a day. The damage to the concrete walls was not obvious, and it was not noticeable from a distance. But when you look closely, the walls are taller than sea ships.

The famous Japanese general Takeda Taro frowned and asked Kinoshita Tengyou-kun (Kinoshita Tojiro's uncle): "Did this shield fish island have fortifications before?"

Kinoshita Tengyou-kun shook his head, it was his first time here, and it used to be his nephew's work:

"General, my subordinates don't know. If there is one, it is probably built after the arrival of the Great Xia Navy, but I don't know what it is. Our cannons seem to have failed to blow it down."

Several islands have watchtowers. Gao Huaiyu will be on Monkey Island. The biggest gold mine is on Monkey Island. Apart from training, he spends most of his time on Monkey Island.

After harvesting the shield fish island, Gao Huaiyu naturally found out the secret passage of the shield fish island. He was very rare for these complicated underground labyrinths.

According to the gourd painting, now Yellow Fish Island, Monkey Island, and Shield Fish Island are not only densely covered with organs, but also surrounded by bays underground. There are not only a large number of warehouses underground for storing materials, but also for hiding at critical moments.

Fortunately, the cement workshop in Ludifang's East Mansion is not too far away, and the emperor's brother-in-law gave him a lot of approval notes. In this year, he wasted all the cement on this island.

They have repaired several brick kilns. The big red bricks made of rock mud on this island are hard!

The wall, which is nearly 20 meters high and three meters wide, surrounds the three core islands except for the steep cliffs. His soldiers are all masters of building walls now. You see, they will use them now what.

The news was also on the first day of the artillery fire that people had been sent to the other side in a small boat from the secret road in the back mountain. He wanted to see what these Japanese people could do to him!
When Xia Hongdi received the news, the Japanese army had been going back and forth around the archipelago for several days.

These guys who are afraid of death have built a thick threshold for themselves. Their current shells must be cherished and used. They must find their defensive blind spots and concentrate their firepower to attack.

One of their sea boats was shot by firecrackers because it got closer, and dozens of people were killed before it landed, which made Takeda Taro very angry and made the boat farther away.

Gao Huaiyu is also looking at the topographic map of the island. This is the most complete map of the island. A group of people are thinking about where they would start if they were the Japanese people.

"General, if it's me, I come from here. Although the cliff here is steep, but there are few of us, we can't stand guard on the cliff. It's easy to be touched here!"

"General, if I play tricks, it's not impossible to climb the fence at night. As long as you hook the wall with a hook, people with a little bit of kung fu will have no problem climbing up!"

"So what if we come up, there are so many traps under our wall!"

"Then they don't know, we just treat it as Japanese people, no matter how bad we think, we can't exaggerate it!"

"Hey, this island is full of rock formations, it's not easy for them to drill a hole, general, let alone, our island is still a bit easy to defend but difficult to attack!"

"This high cement wall is really a good thing. Thanks again to Mr. Yuan Qian, oh no, Uncle Zhongqin, hehe."

"However, what about the warships we dock in the bay? These ships can't be hidden!"

"Think about it, everyone, what's the use of these sea-going ships?" This is also where Gao Huaiyu scratched his head. He would definitely kill those bastards by guarding like this, but the sea-going ships will be destroyed, and they will suffer heavy losses!
Gao Huaiyu asked people to add several layers of defense measures to the places they could think of. Compared with the year when Chengdu Mansion was besieged, this time he had too much confidence.

There was a lot of talk about the war in the capital, and even Hei Wa, who was recuperating at home, knew about it. With his legs crossed, he was playing puzzles with two brats, and said lazily to Cuihua:
"General Gao can use half of the cement produced by Fangdongfu Cement Factory in a year. I think the city wall has to be repaired so strong. You little devils, you are not afraid of breaking your teeth!"

Xiao Wu looked at his father, tilted his head and asked, "Little devil? Who is it!"

Xiao Liu messed up the sequence of the wooden jigsaw puzzle in his hand, and the baby lost his patience when he was working hard, and when his brother was not paying attention, he destroyed it.

Cuihua looked at this brat, patted his fat buttocks lightly, and said: "The little devil is a disobedient child, he will be spanked, he will not be given food, he will be locked in a dark room, and his red envelope will be confiscated!"

Both of them were horrified, the little devil is so miserable, they don't want to learn from it!

There are not many toys available for one or two-year-old children now, such as Jiulianhuan, which they still can't understand, and the little straight men who play tricks made by the villagers are not interested.

Bamboo dragonflies and bamboo bows can't be played by themselves, so Uncle Zhongqin, who is recuperating, can only do it by himself.

These puzzles are all based on animals. The pictures are first drawn on a whole piece of wood, and then divided into different shapes, and then the corners are cut and polished.

The image not only has a shape, but also a color, and when it is put together, it becomes a color picture.

The simple ones cost about ten yuan, and the more complicated ones cost three to fifty yuan. Children can learn to recognize colors and count. Puzzles rely on observation skills.

Xiao Wu got started very quickly. After a few times, he was able to spell more than 20 pieces. Xiao Liu lost his patience after playing for a few times. He liked to cause damage to his brother, but he would inevitably be suppressed by force.

Although they used to go home from get off work every day, but after dinner, the two children would soon fall asleep, and now their father is actually at home during the day, so the kid is so happy.

It's not so rare for mother to tell stories anymore, father knows more things to play with than mother.

The big head and the second head also like to play more complex puzzles, and Hei Wa simply made several complex patterns with hundreds of pieces, which made the boys in the front yard crazy about it.

Of course good toys should be shared, and of course the crown prince and little princess Jingyao will not be left behind. Seeing her daughter playing well by herself, Empress Gao couldn't help but sigh, a good family, why are they always being plotted against?
Now that the battle situation on Shieldfish Island is still unknown, she also became anxious. However, the emperor comforted her by saying that her brother's city wall over there was built very thickly, and the defense would not be broken so easily.

Now, thinking of the cement made by Uncle Zhongqin again, I am grateful and ashamed.
