Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 544

On October 1646, 10, it was sunny and the northwest wind was six.

Somewhere outside Yantai Fort, hundreds of North Korean civilians "hired" from Busan Port are busy building a polyhedron building.The building has several sides, each of which is a masonry wall with a raised structure, and each wall has a small opening, which seems to be used as a shooting hole.On the top of this building, a small attic was built with parapets around it, and a sloping drape facing south was built at the bottom, which seemed to be used to counteract the recoil when the artillery was fired for quick reset.All in all, if you look at it from the perspective of passing through many people, this is a standard blockhouse.That's right, the famous Devil's Paolou.

This kind of blockhouse takes a lot of work and materials. Almost half a year has passed, and the talents on the east bank have completely repaired two of them, and there are three more under construction.These gun towers are about 800 meters away from the south wall of Yantai Fort, and are within the range of most of the artillery on the top of the city. But the army had to lay down dozens of corpses at least.If they insist on demolishing the gun towers that the people on the east bank are building, then I am afraid they have to be prepared to die thousands of 800 people.

Therefore, after being blasted into slag by the cannons of the East Bank people at the beginning, the Qing army died of the idea of ​​​​removing the East Bank artillery towers, because it is not a way to always fill them with human lives. Bombing camp is not allowed.In addition, Hauge has already returned to Beijing with some Eight Banners troops. After all, he is a majestic prince, and now he looks like he is showing the gate to Yantai. This is so embarrassing!If he doesn't go home, Dorgon has snatched his Fujin, so the fool will stay here!As soon as Haoge left, the rest of the people turned a blind eye. Those who stayed here to watch the gate were all hard-working people who had no chance to make a fortune in Jiangnan in the world of flamboyance. Thieves risk their lives, why bother?

After Hauge left, Hetuo who stayed here only had 4 Eight Banners cavalry who were like his sweetheart. In addition, there were only more than [-] infantry in the hands of Li Shitai, Ke Yongsheng and others.At the same time, Chen Jin, the governor of Qing Denglai who was stationed in Dengzhou City, also had more than [-] troops, ready to help at any time.A total of more than [-] soldiers and horses want to suppress the east bank army that currently has tens of thousands of soldiers. Even with the help of the long city wall that has been built now, it may not be enough.

Therefore, in May of this year when the East Bank people first started to build the artillery towers, the Qing army stopped completely after being beaten twice by the East Bank people's fierce artillery fire. A gun tower was being built vigorously.I don't know where these goddamn yellow-clothed thieves got so many bricks, and where did they get so many cannons. There are 5-6 cannons in one turret, and the five turrets are thirty or forty. What a prodigal ah.

What is even more depressing is that these five gun towers obviously formed crossfire, and the difficulty of attacking was too high for the Qing army, which basically only had cold weapons.Alas, I'm really worried, anyone with a discerning eye can see what the yellow-clothed thieves are doing to build the blockhouse, but there is no way to restrain it!Especially those two gun towers that have been built, each of which has fifty or sixty warriors stationed there, the Qing army lacking heavy weapons can only look at the tower and sigh.

Forget it, everyone is a hard-working person. In this place where the birds don’t shit, there is a cold wind every day, watching the gate, and hearing a few thunders (cannons) from time to time. Life is so hard, why bother to work hard.Don't you see that Lord Hetuohe of the Manchurian nation spends all his time drinking away his sorrows, complaining about himself for not being able to go to the affluent place in the south of the Yangtze River to garrison, and there are many rebellious words in his words, his heart is full of resentment!He and the adults are not very active in attacking the yellow-clothed thieves. Do you expect us to take the guns and take the guns when we are full?Bah, only two meals of millet porridge and two taels of pickles all day long, so it's worth working so hard!Let's rest when it's cool!

In this way, the people on the east coast of Yantai area and the Qing army maintained a strange balance, and this is what Mo Ming is happy to see.People on the east bank built gun towers, and then gradually expanded the area of ​​​​Yantai Fort, so as to finally break through the blockade fortress laid by the Qing army, and completely invalidate the chain that attempted to isolate Yantai Port.

Pei Qin and Wang Jiazhong stood on the tower of Yantai Fort, waiting respectfully for Mo Ming, who was holding up a binoculars to observe the construction of the gun tower, to give them a lecture.They were called here in the morning, and they basically knew exactly what was going on. They were going to be sent to the East Bank Headquarters!Neither of them had the room to object to this decision, and in fact they did not have the courage to object.Marshal Mo has been in the Far East for many years, and his power is growing day by day. Now few people dare to disobey him in front of him.

Pei Qin, a man from Gansu, actually didn't have much resistance to being sent to the east coast country that was said to be thousands of miles away.He has nothing to worry about in Daming. The old brothers who have come together for many years are basically in the standing team now. Except for a few people, most of them have no family. They are all rough men who have no worries. Pat Ass can leave.Of course, rough people are not cold-blooded animals without feelings. After all, they are still a little sad to leave the mother country where they were born, because they all understand that they may never have a chance to come back after going to the country this time, which makes many people very sad.

However, since the superiors have decided to transfer their second brigade back to the east bank as a whole, they have nothing to say as small soldiers, they can only obey orders.Everyone knows what is going on in Ming Dynasty now. The Qing army has already entered eastern Zhejiang and southern Jiangxi. It seems that these two provinces will be completely destroyed, and the trend of unifying the whole country is becoming more and more obvious.Although King Chuang's tribe is currently fighting the Qing army in the Huguang area, 20 soldiers and horses are confined within a province, and they are in a dilemma.If it hadn't been for the people from the east bank to send a speedboat to King Chuang again, he would have sent some longbows and arrows accumulated by the Koreans on Jeju Island. In addition, he would have half sold and half given away [-] spears, [-] collar armors, and [-] muskets. , I am afraid that their situation will be even more difficult.

Daming can't wait any longer!From this point of view, it would be a good place to leave here and go to the East Coast Country.The life there should not be bad, just look at the envious eyes of those soldiers from the east coast of Yantai Fort.These people traveled thousands of miles to Daming, the first ones who came here probably have been stationed here for almost three years, and now we are the ones who went back before them, it's really dumbfounding.

That's all, let's go!I heard that when I go there, one person will first divide a five-acre fertile land and a set of yards, and even a daughter-in-law. Is there such a government in this world that cares about me and other ordinary people?But judging from the expressions of those color-eyed soldiers, it doesn't look like a fake. Could it be that there is such a good thing?Then I have to burn incense sticks!Although I was assigned a sex-eyed daughter-in-law who was ugly as hell, she was a woman after all, and she was fertile and able to work. Marry me home and give me a few children to carry on the family; Two pigs, if the government is not strict in taxation, then the little days will definitely not go wrong, at least it is better than killing people here!

The officers and soldiers from the Shun Army were used to wandering, and their overall attitude towards leaving Daming to go to the East Coast was reluctant to part with a hint of yearning for a new life.And the attitudes of those descendants of Japanese samurai and Shandan people are similar, and they even have a little bit of joy. They are very happy to leave here to end their military career that seems to never see an end, and they can't wait to fly. A fairyland-like country where you eat meat.

As for Wang Jiazhong's gang of Qingzhou bandits and bandits, leaving Jeju Island, which had just settled down for a long time, and embarking on an unknown journey, it would kill them.What a great time it is to bully men and women in Jingyi County. Those North Koreans are always respectful and respectful when they meet them, which makes them full of uncle's addiction.And more importantly, in less than a year after occupying Jeju Island, many officers and soldiers have already married, which greatly increases the difficulty for them to leave Jeju Island.

But no matter how difficult it is to execute orders, this is no joke!That Marshal Mo is not a good man and a faithful woman, and the consequences of disobeying his orders can be imagined with his toes. Maybe one day he will be beaten by the gang of black ghost slave soldiers, and then the big guys will be taken as slaves one by one. Go to the shore, and this will be the end of everything.Now I pack up my things quickly and board the ship. When I go, I can share the land and the house, and those who have no daughter-in-law can still share the daughter-in-law. The generals of the green battalion are all virtuous, and they are completely useless!

In short, this is a very tangled matter. After thinking about it, Wang Jiazhong finally admitted it, persuaded the generals who came to him for advice one by one, and then led these people to become the subordinates. Ideological work, and finally pulled the tiger skin of the people on the east coast, and then the matter was barely settled.

The eight squadrons of the second brigade of the stand-up team, plus two supplementary squadrons drawn from the third brigade, had a total of 500 soldiers; Some Ming people and Koreans joined the army, and the number has barely expanded to 2000 at present.There are already 500 people in these two films, and it is reasonable to send them back to the mainland.

It is said that when Peng Zhicheng wrote to Mo Ming, he asked him to send 5000 people to the mainland to deal with the possible armed conflict with the Spaniards.For Peng Zhicheng, the veteran of the army, Mo Ming asked himself that he could not take it seriously at the moment. After all, he was his biggest backer, so he had to give enough face.Therefore, without hesitation, he made the decision to dispatch the ten squadrons of the volunteer team and the Wang Jiazhong Department of the third Jeju Department.

"Is there any problem?" Mo Ming put down the binoculars on her chest and suddenly turned around and asked.

"No problem." Pei Qin and Wang Jiazhong replied in unison.

"Then organize people to board the ship, don't dawdle." Mo Ming put down a sentence, and then the guards
