…… Then pay tribute to three animals, the so-called three animals are a main animal with two kinds of side animals, the main animals are generally boiled five catties of large pig's feet with hooves, and the side animals are usually cooked fish and chickens......

Who is this sacrifice?

Not an ancestor, not a sage, but a red-coated cannon, a red-coated cannon that has only been introduced to China for decades!

However, in just a few decades, the so-called "Hongyi cannon" has become a so-called "artifact", and it has been endowed with a veil of mystery, so that when testing the cannon and casting the cannon, there is a set of cumbersome rituals.

What a fuck!

No wonder China's artillery operation is becoming more and more backward, perhaps the fundamental reason is not because the Chinese people do not want to make progress, but because the Chinese have taken the initiative to cast a mysterious veil over this "artifact", and the so-called "father-son inheritance", "master-apprentice inheritance" plus the old problem of "leaving a hand", plus most of the gunners are illiterate, what artillery skills can they develop? How is it possible to develop science with this occultism?

No, you can't ask for this kind of artillery, you have to think of a way......

frowned, Zhu Mingzhong was not even in the mood to ask about the female relatives who had just been picked up from Jiangyin - in addition to Kou Yun, of course, there was also the Xia family's pair of sisters who seemed to be as seductive as Tilian, whether it was a mature woman temptation or a pure girl, in the past, he may have been very attractive to Zhu Mingzhong, but now, as the news from Nanjing came one by one, he was overwhelmed, and there was still leisure and leisure in the back house.

"General......

Suddenly, the words behind him made Zhu Mingzhong come back to his senses, he turned to look at the comer, and then said.

"Brother Liu Xian."

The person who came was Liu "Confucius", and even now, she is still dressed as a man. She also liked to refer to herself as "brother", although this was because she wanted to be able to have an equal relationship with the scholars.

"Brother sees that the general's eyebrows are not spreading, is he worried?"

When he said this, Liu Ruye's heart was full of doubts,

"The general's current situation is so gratifying, my brother heard that Jiading City has surrendered today, and the cities in Jiangnan are now surrendering when they hear the wind, what is the general's concern?"

Liu Ru looked at Zhu Mingzhong in puzzlement, after conquering Changzhou, affected by the news that Nanjing was surrounded by Zheng's hundreds of thousands of troops, Wuxi, Taicang, Kunshan and Jiading surrendered successively, and Zheng Chenggong only accepted his surrender table, Zhu Mingzhong sent soldiers to accept these cities, in history, although dozens of cities in the south of the Yangtze River surrendered during Zheng Chenggong's Northern Expedition, but after its defeat, all immediately counterattacked.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Mingzhong will learn this lesson and send at least one battalion of troops to each city to suppress it. lest those capricious local officials fight back in the future.

Facing Liu Ruye's question, Zhu Mingzhong shook his head, he looked at the small lake outside the pavilion, the garden of the mansion and the back house, although it is not big, but it is also a characteristic Jiangnan garden.

"Let's make Brother Xian laugh, Zhu is worried about other things."

"Oh, could it be that the general is not optimistic about the current situation?"

Blinking those radiant fluctuating eyes, Liu Ru looked at him curiously, she naturally thought of some of the things she had heard in the past few days, such as how Zhu Mingzhong and Zheng Yanping made a military order.

"Is the general worried about Nanjing? If you are worried, why don't you send a letter to the general? ”

"A handwritten letter?"

Although he knew that it hadn't been long, Zhu Mingzhong's demeanor was very relaxed, he smiled faintly, and then said:

"Now that the situation is like this, the general has already decided to wait for the Qing captives to surrender under the city of Nanjing, at this moment, even if Zhu writes a letter, can the general change his mind?"

When he said this, Zhu Mingzhong held a fire in his heart, he didn't understand why Zheng Chenggong was so stubborn and self-serving, why he didn't listen to the persuasion of others, of course, he didn't know that Zheng Chenggong was actually waiting for Ma Jinbao's internal and external cooperation.

Although Liu Ru knew about it, she didn't mention it, after all, in her opinion, she didn't know that this matter would be fundamentally related to Zheng Chenggong's decision.

Looking at a few fallen leaves in the lake, Zhu Mingzhong said.

"At present, the Northern Expedition seems to be going well, but in fact, the current situation can be described as extremely dangerous, if the general is frustrated in Nanjing, then the Northern Expedition will fall short, and what Zhu can do is probably only to try to protect the last trace of vitality of my Ming Zhongxing."

In fact, Zhu Mingzhong had already made up his mind, once Zheng Chenggong was defeated in Nanjing, then he would follow what everyone argued at the forum in later generations - plundering the people into Taiwan, first plundering the people into Zhoushan, and then coercing the people to go to Taiwan.

100,000, 200,000, even if it is like the Manchu Qing Dynasty moving to the sea, it will not hesitate to force it with knives and guns.

As long as hundreds of thousands of people can be coerced into Taiwan, there is hope for the preservation of Chinese civilization and the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, talent is the foundation of rejuvenation, when Zheng Chenggong withdrew to Taiwan, the number of people was too limited, but tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians, even in the late Ming and Zheng dynasties, after decades of life and gathering, the population was only 200,000, and the number of people was so scarce, how could it be successful?

If Ming Zheng has a population of millions, even if he loses the Battle of Penghu, what can he do?

Glancing at Liu Rus, Zhu Mingzhong suddenly said:

"If so, if it is then, Zhu hopes that the virtuous brother can leave with Zhu Mou......"

The reason why Zhu Mingzhong said this is because he knows what happened to Liu Ru five years later, after Qian Qianyi's death five years later, the villagers gathered to seize his real estate, and Liu Ru committed suicide with a silk tie in order to protect Qian Qianyi's family property. Although the villains were scared away, a generation of talented women ended their lives like this.

He couldn't bear such a strange woman, so he ended his life.

Leave ...... together

Zhu Mingzhong's words made Liu Ruye's heart pound, not only her cheeks were hot, but even her breathing became short, and for a while, her brain was a mess, and she didn't know how to answer at all, and she muttered after a while.

"Slave, slave...... General Xie has mercy, only, it's just that since the slave and the slave family have married into the Qian family, they can't do it, they can't make ......"

In Liu Ru is squeak, Zhu Mingzhong immediately realized that the other party had misunderstood what he meant, although Liu Ruri in front of him looked like a twenty-eight or nineteen-year-old woman, and her beautiful face was extremely attractive, but he did not have the hobby of robbing his wife.

So he hurriedly explained.

"Brother Xian, if it is in case...... At that time, it is better for my brother and his family to evacuate with the army, so as not to be retaliated by the Qing captives! ”

Yes!

Zhu Mingzhong's words made Liu Ruye's face change instantly, and she only felt that her face was hotter when she understood what she had misunderstood, and she said in her heart, why are you so cranky.

Zhu Mingzhong, who was aware of Liu Ruye's embarrassment and realized that he had lost his words, hurriedly said.

"Actually, Brother Xian, what Zhu is worried about just now is another thing."

Ask for recommendations, ask for collections...... I beg for everyone's mercy, and please have mercy on you for a while...... Why is this so awkward?
