"Ah, yes."

Zhu Linmiao smiled dumbly, he was bent on putting the world's good things into Daming's pocket as soon as possible, but he forgot that the scale of the sailor was far from enough to support such a huge global strategy.

He waved his hand and said, "It's me who is anxious, and the affairs of Europa and the Moliga continent still have to be discussed in the long run."

"However, in the future, as the silver money earned by maritime merchants continues to pour into the Ming Dynasty, the shipyard will rush to work day and night, and the number of naval ships will increase tenfold and hundredfold.

In addition, the Longjiang Shipyard has sent a report that the first batch of two clipper ships will be completed and launched at the end of the month, and they are safe and ready for use. This kind of ship is extremely fast, and ordinary sailors can't catch up even if they set up an ambush, so they will use this ship to trade overseas, and the merchant ship will not need to be escorted by sailors. ”

He looked around at several sailor generals, and said earnestly: "Since then, the exchange of goods by sea is one of the lifeblood of the Ming Dynasty's silver money, and it is all up to the sailors to defend it, and I hope you can do your best." ”

Several people hurriedly knelt down on one knee and solemnly bowed their hands and said: "The last general will be smeared with liver and brain to report to the court!" ”

After the generals retired, Zhu Linmiao called Zheng Chenggong alone, whispered in his ear, and took out an edict and handed it to him.

The latter couldn't help frowning when he heard this, carefully put away the secret decree, and said, "The last general will act cautiously and not let the slightest bit of information be leaked." ”

"Okay, there you go."

……

Shanxi, Nanyang Province.

Under the city of Linfen.

He Luo looked back and forth with a telescope with a face, and although the Ming soldiers there were dressed in a variety of clothes and stood with their hips crooked, they were holding excellent soldiers and birds, and there were even a lot of eleven coins and flint hairbolts.

Moreover, he also knew that every seventy or eighty zhang in the city, there was a cannon, and as long as his men and horses attacked it, those cannons would immediately be pushed to the battlements and bombarded.

In the past few days, he has repeatedly sent troops to attack the city, but these miscellaneous troops under Jiang Pai have repelled themselves again and again with sophisticated firearms and city walls. On the contrary, the elite under his command with white flags suffered five or six hundred casualties, and Ma Fengzhi's green battalion even more than a thousand died under the city.

He Luohui really couldn't figure it out, in the past, these same Han people, as long as they saw their army from afar, they didn't even dare to let out a fart, so they immediately hugged their heads and ran away. But these people in Linfen City are like elite soldiers in a hundred battles, obviously they are not in a good position, but their morale is extremely high, and they dare to fight with their lives.

In the past, the Ming court was corrupt, the mediocre ministers were in charge, and the country's finances were withering, so the soldiers would not want to fight to the death with the Jianyu. Today's Ming court is the son of heaven is wise, rectifying the official system, sympathetic to the people, and even more victorious, the entire Ming Dynasty is naturally high morale, looking forward to the day when the Tartars will be driven out of the Central Plains.

In addition, Jiang Jian obeyed Zhu Linmiao's orders and copied the Huang family, which was the slowest among the eight locusts, with plenty of silver in his hand, and he rewarded meritorious soldiers almost every day, so that the righteous army defending the city saw that Jianyu's eyes were red - three taels of silver per head! Can this not be a fateful one?

And what made He Luo angry the most was that he spent a lot of effort to connect with Jiang Wei's deputy general Yang Wei before, and agreed that Yang Wei would open the gate of Linfen City and enlarge the army into the city, so that he could be awarded the high position of the general army of Shanxi in the Qing Dynasty. Unexpectedly, his army touched the city on the appointed day, and suddenly saw Yang Wei's head hanging high, and then Jiang Ji ambushed the soldiers to kill in all directions.

Fortunately, the southerners were weak in battle and could not surround the other horses to death, otherwise his own head might have been hung on the head of Linfen City.

He didn't know that Zhu Linmiao had already reminded Jiang Pai to pay attention to Yang Wei, a traitor, because as soon as his people got in touch with Yang Wei, Jiang Pai had already noticed it, and he just planned to lead the army to ambush him.

If it was usual, He Luo would rely on his large number of people to build earth walls and siege equipment outside the city, and slowly figure it out, and at most half a year will be able to grind this city open.

However, the regent had asked him to quell the rebellious army in Shanxi within two months, and then garrison Datong to defend Beijing from the west.

Later, there was a sudden news that Shandong had fallen in only half a month, and Sheng Jing strictly ordered him to exterminate Jiang Jiao in early May, so he could only urge his subordinates to attack the city day and night, but he never got an inch.

He was considering whether he would attack again before dark, when he saw several horsemen galloping from the south, but he couldn't make out what he was shouting. After a while, another of his generals rushed to say excitedly: "General, Lord Baturu led his troops and 20,000 Henan soldiers to help. ”

He Luohui is also a great joy. He knew that Baturu was referring to Aobai, this person was extremely brave and good at fighting, he already had 10,000 horses under his command, plus the 20,000 Yu army, if he wanted to capture Linfen City, he would definitely be able to capture it!
