"Boom......" cannon roared. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The black spherical iron bullet came out of the muzzle ****, crossed the distance of two or three miles, and rushed straight to the façade of Chai Daji with a scorching torrent.

When Chai Daji saw the iron bullet clearly, it seemed that there was still a little distance between the two, but at that moment, he seemed to have been immobilized, and the whole person couldn't move. I watched as the iron bullet grew bigger and bigger in front of me......

"Ah......" The whole iron bullet fell on Chai Daji's façade, and Chai Daji, who was asleep, sat up from the bed suddenly, it was already November weather, and his forehead was covered with a cold sweat.

The shouts of pro-soldiers sounded outside the "...... of Sanrong". Chai Daji wiped the sweat from his forehead and said that it was okay.

The sturdy back leaned on the head of the bed, and Chai Daji's body was weak for a while, how many times did he wake up from the night? I was always awakened by this scene. It's ridiculous to say. Chai Daji covered his face with his hands, this scene was a month ago, when Chai Daji led a warship to patrol the Zhenjiang River, and a boat encountered a floating row released by Chen Wei from the upstream and was smashed to the bottom of the boat. Chai Daji had just been promoted from the capital division to a general at that time, and he was furious when he saw it, and ordered to cross the line by boat and fire at the fort of the Fu Han army. As a result, the big boat he sat on had just fired two cannons, and the Fuhan Army battery on the shore sounded more than a dozen thunders, and one of the shells was coming towards Chai Daji at the bow of the ship, but it was just a little higher, and Chai Daji's top was gone, and then crashed into the cabin, killing and wounding three people, but Chai Daji was only missing a few hairs.

The floating row is not a floating water row, but a dark row of cocoa floating. The bottom is decorated with large stones as anchors, and the head of the row is wrapped with iron, which is like a coulter. The Fu Han army lowered it down the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and once it collided with the warships and civilian ships on the water east of Zhenjiang, the light hull was damaged, and the heavy one sank on the spot. Together with the underwater dragon king cannon frequently placed downstream by the Fu Han army, it became the two most disgusting weapons for the Qing army sailors at the mouth of the Yangtze River.

Although Chai Daji did not have any bruises, the scene at that time was too thrilling and thrilling. The cannonball only needed to be lowered by one finger downward, and Chai Daji's skull was gone. Even if his head is cut off by a cannonball, it will be completely shattered, like a sea urchin falling on a stone.

At that time, Chai Daji, who didn't twitch on the surface, calmly commanded the fleet out of the artillery battle, and won the reputation of a brave general who was not afraid of danger, but in fact, at night, he had been awakened by nightmares several times. It was the shell that didn't fly overhead, but hit him in the face......

"It's okay, it's okay......" Chai Daji sighed again, fortunately, he has been freed from the errand of patrolling the river, and he is now in Zhoushan, supervising the construction of warships.

As we entered November, the fighting in the north had stopped, and the fighting in the south was still going on.

The battle on the Hunan side affected the soldiers and horses of Jiangxi and Liangguang, and the subsequent chain reaction was that the pressure on the rebels of Fujian Tiandihui was reduced somewhat. The Fu Han army did not continue to march along the Yangtze River to Sichuan, but the first elite instructor in the Chen and Han armies advanced into Hanzhong, cutting off the connection between Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the Fu Han army in Hubei was going all out to consolidate the foundation of its rule!

After Chen Han was exempted from the summer grain, he also exempted this year's autumn grain, and the work teams that went to the countryside and the propaganda teams organized by the prefectures and counties themselves were all busy without stopping for a moment. A number of technical schools have also been set up in various places, and the Fuhan Army has also issued recruitment notices to the entire towns and villages under its jurisdiction for the first time - the Fuhan Army will expand the scale of musket manufacturing! Continue to the blacksmith

Coupled with the recruitment of the Fu Han Army, as well as the recruitment of a family workshop. These are like uncle's roots, rooted in the fertile soil of Hubei little by little.

In this era, everything has to rely on manpower, as far as the production of military uniforms of the Zhao family is concerned, in the era when there was no sewing machine, it completely relied on hand, and every soldier of the Fu Han Army must have at least two regular clothes and two robes every season, what kind of conceptual workload is that?

At the beginning, the head of the logistics unit of the expeditionary force had a headache for this. The entire expeditionary force, in addition to the military uniforms at the head of the main battalion, still has a certain guarantee, and many of the other non-main forces are directly dyed red. Therefore, the recruitment of workers is to consolidate the foundation of the Han Army little by little. Whoever enters the factory as a worker, they also become members of the Fu Han army.

At present, the entire Yangtze River basin, as well as the area south of the Yangtze River, is relatively stable in Hubei and Jiangnan, the former is not able to be defeated by the Qing army, and the latter is unable to be captured by the Qing army, and the war in Jiangnan has become a stalemate.

Between Hubei and Jiangnan, with Jiujiang and Anqing as the connection, there are frequent fleets. Moreover, the warships of the Fu Han army were also launched wave after wave, and the Qing army was naturally not to be outdone. Jiangsu Wusong Water Division was reorganized in the summer and autumn.

Chai Daji himself is a native of Jiangshan, Zhejiang, who studied literature at an early age, and later abandoned literature and martial arts. In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1763), he was a martial artist. He successively served as the left battalion garrison and the right battalion capital division of Funing Town, Fujian. When the Fujian sailors returned to the southeast one after another, some of them were left in the south of the Yangtze River and formed the Susong Town Water Camp and stationed in Wusongkou. It was at that time that Chai Daji was transferred to Susong Town, and at the same time, he was promoted from Du Si to a general.

As for why Chai Daji, who supervised the construction of warships, was no longer elsewhere in Zhoushan, it was because the Han army swept Songjiang, although they stopped on the bank of the Huangpu River, but it still made many people's hearts tremble, and after the war, they moved to Zhoushan in the sea. Among them were not only the gentry and common people, but also many merchants and even shipyards.

The naval warships of the Qing army were originally official, but isn't the situation different now? In a hurry, many orders went down to private shipyards, from Zhejiang to Guangdong, among which Zhang Jigong, who was alias Tong Li, teamed up with Yue Wenhai and won several orders.

Chai Daji's errand is a beautiful errand.

Zhang Jigong also had several contacts with him, and he spoke highly of this person. Zhang Jigong had been very low-key for more than a year before, and he had made a lot of money by taking advantage of the trend of shipping grain in the southeast. He was tied to Yue Wenhai and organized a merchant shipping fleet by himself, raising funds and standing on his own with small and medium-sized shipping merchants who had a maritime tradition in the coastal areas. At first, it mainly trafficked grain and other agricultural products, and later the Fu Han army withdrew from the south of the Yangtze River, and it quickly increased to operate cloth, ceramics, indigo, sugar, tea, salt fish, etc., and the port of anchorage reached Tianjin in the north and Guangdong in the south.

In just one year, he became an up-and-coming shipowner in the Songhu area.

That is, Chen Ming explained to him the matter of building Western-style sailing ships, but none of them have been settled. "You can't just give me an exterior diagram of shipbuilding, the structural diagram inside is the real thing." Chen Jigong helplessly 'protested' to Chen Ming. Several of his masters did not know anything about Western-style sailing ships, so he could only hire masters from Guangdong, and specially invited a number of Cantonese who had worked as sailors on foreigners' sailing ships as staff officers.

On the ocean, strong winds and waves, all kinds of dangerous situations have to be encountered, the sail area and complexity of the Western-style sailing ship are far more than the hard sails of the East, the masts of the Western-style sailing ship are very tall, how can you hang so many sails if you are not high? As a result, the masts of Western-style sailing ships were also prone to breaking, and in order to prevent this defect, they used reinforcing cables to stabilize the mast, but this made it impossible for the sails to rotate around the mast.

Therefore, the oriental sail and the western sail are completely different concepts!

Chen Jigong still can't complete the task that Chen Ming gave him. He can't even build the most ordinary Western-style sailing boat, so he can only let people get in touch with the shipwrights and shipwrights of the red-haired ghosts in Macau, but when he can pull it back to Zhoushan, he has no score in his heart at all.

On the other hand, ships such as Oriental-style sea ships and rushing boats can be built by Chen Jigong now, and the quality is very good.

"Second master, Zhu Zhiwei is back."

When Chai Daji was awakened at night, Chen Jigong slept peacefully that night, and was not called up by his subordinates until he was old. Because Zhu Zhiwei came to see him.

Zhu Zhiwei, a native of Yunxiao, Fujian, has been traveling by sea since he was a teenager, going back and forth between shipyards, and is a great contributor to Chen Jigong's formation and successful operation of his own fleet. Zhu Zhiwei has two sons, the eldest son Zhu Min is just 20 years old this year, and the second son Zhu Wu is only 17 years old. The brothers are not very old, but when they were young, they followed their father to build ships or transport, they were well-informed, and they had also endured hardships, and now Zhu Quan has become the bow of the fleet, and Zhu Wu has followed Chen Jigong as a long-term follower.

Although Chen Jigong has not really revealed the mystery to the Zhu family father and son, his fleet has done a lot of business in Fujian in the second half of the year, but Zhu Zhiwei took the initiative to take the lead. Although this is only a matter of interest!

After the main force of the Fu Han Army withdrew from Jiangnan, their life became difficult, and if the goods transported by the fleet to Songjiang could only earn one copper plate when pulled to Shandong, Tianjin or Guangdong, they could earn two or three copper plates when they were pulled to Fujian, and of course the danger would be much higher.

This incident is said to be a matter of interest, but it also shows that the Zhu family's father and son are not a generation that keeps to themselves. When it comes time to find out the relationship, they can't help but give in.

"Second master, the price of grain in Shandong has risen again. The miscellaneous grains were sold for one, two, three, four, and one stone. This is the latest news from Wusongkou.

Zhu Zhiwei, who walked in, had a happy look on his face, because he knew that his young owner really had an excellent vision, and the grain stored in the summer and autumn this year was not only fine grains, but also miscellaneous grains such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as coarse grains such as soybeans, black beans, and sorghum. The main force of the Fu Han Army withdrew from Jiangnan after the beginning of spring, which made many people think that Jiangnan would be stable at this point, and grain prices fell sharply in response. If you sell it all to Shandong now, it will definitely make a lot of money.

"Is the situation in Shandong still stable?"

"I heard that many large households in states and counties have set up group exercises to protect the territory and the people. There are often small messes, and every time the people eat, there are always people who take risks, and the big messes are gone. ”

"Then let's get lucky. I also have a little relationship in Shandong, you arrive in Jiaozhou with a grain ship, and the grain will not be sold first. When the people I sent have negotiated with them, it will depend on the situation. Chen Jigong lightly told Zhu Zhiwei about this matter, and let Zhu Zhiwei go down to prepare. He turned back to his chair and took out a scroll of Shandong Land Map from the drawer under the table, and tapped his fingers on Shouzhang and Guyang, which were the base of the Qingshui Sect.

And now, His Royal Highness Duke Lu is going to move this Qingshui Sect!

From Shouzhang and Guyang to Jiaozhou, the straight-line distance is 700 miles. Can Shandong Secret Camp do without missing a flaw, and then can this batch of grain be transported to Tai'an Mansion safely and steadily? Chen Jigong was very worried about this. He compared the distance to Taean again. Wang Lun is far away from Shouzhang and Guyang to Jiaozhou, and it is very close to attack Tai'an, the distance is only two hundred miles, and there are official roads all the way. Of course, there is also a fat city stuck on this official road, which is located in the west extension of the Taishan Mountains, and the mountains and ganggangs in the territory are undulating and criss-crossed. If the Qingshui Sect is waiting for an opportunity to rise up and pounce on Tai'an, it will be necessary to take Feicheng in the middle, if it is delayed a little, it will be a big deal, can they complete all this and take this batch of grain?

Chen Jigong was very worried about this, he didn't know about the operation of the secret camp in Shandong, but this was a decision made by Chen Ming, and the grain and the things hidden in the grain must be transported.

Just when many people's eyes were on Hunan, no one would have thought that the Fu Han Army was brewing a big explosion in Shandong. If the Qingshui Sect can act as they wish, they can enter the western realm of Tai'an, and they can cross into the Taiyi Mountains.

To the north of the Taiyi Mountains is Jinan!

Qing Shui taught this chess piece to be very powerful if it was used well.

This matter is even coherent with the grand strategy of the Han Army and the Navy Division to move eastward after the beginning of spring - it can be said to be the vanguard of Chen Ming's strategy of 'cutting off the north and south'!

Wang Lun is in chaos in Shandong, can the Qing army's Shandong troops still move south? If they continue to march south, there will be a big gap left. (To be continued.) )
