When the men had rushed to the bottom of the city, they put a long ladder up the wall, and in front of the ladder there was a thick iron hook, which at once grasped firmly.

The soldiers began to climb up with knives in one hand and ladders in the other, with their faces tilted and smirking.

Zhang Yue, the general of the land commander on the city wall, also smiled cruelly, and he shouted in a low voice: "Shoot!" ”

The archers, who had been prepared for a long time, leaned down and shot ...... This one was too simple, and as the sound of bowstrings rang out everywhere, one by one the soldiers fell from the long ladder screaming...... Some of the archers under the city leaned on their backs and shot upwards, often causing casualties on the city's head......

The two sides began to exchange arrows.

The other archers at the head of the city immediately began to shoot at the archers below them.

In the era of cold weapons, bows and arrows were by no means as magical as those described by literati, nor were they as powerful as those staged in movies...... No matter what the era, the laws of physics must be observed......

Soon, the archers under the city suffered losses...... The exchange rate of the two sides is about the same, but the lethality caused by altitude and gravity is obviously unfair, and the surrenderers suffer even more.

Adjutant General Fan Chengen loudly asked for more firearms to help, and General Zhang Yue, the commander of the army, snorted, and gestured with his chin to Wu Zhenchaoha, who was still watching the battle from a distance, and said, "Don't worry, they are the real backhand...... Keep the firecrackers and wait for them to rush up......"

In the distance, Wuzhen Chaoha existed like a shadow on the horizon.

Adjutant General Fan Chengen clenched his fists and retreated, and said: "The general is wise!" ”

Commander Lu's general Zhang Yue sneered at the people under the city struggling to climb up, and sneered at the archers below who were shooting at the head of the city.

Suddenly, he saw an archer, and he opened his hand and shot an arrow at him...... Zhang Yue, the general of the Lu Commander, watched carefully, and when the speed of the incoming arrow slowed down, he suddenly shot and grabbed the arrow that was about to fly by...... Hold that arrow off with one hand, what a quick move, what a powerful hand!

The walls were full of praise...... Commander Lu's general, Zhang Yue, proudly made a circle and gave it away.

Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, looked at the siege, and then got annoyed, and said, "Ring the gong and collect the troops...... The kid on the other side can still calm down......"

Shang Kexi, the king of Pingnan, raised two fingers at the sixth brother and said, "Two months, I originally thought that I could win it in one month...... Now expect the enemy to be wide. ”

The gong sounded, and the besiegers retreated quickly as if they had encountered an amnesty, and Zhang Yue, the general of the Lu Commander, did not open the city gate to chase after him, nor did he look at the corpses all over the ground......

The black shadow in the distance was also retreating in an orderly manner...... General Zhang Yue was not happy in his heart, he knew that this would be a battle that would never stop fighting.

Returning to Xingyuan, Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi made a series of deployments.

One of the most important was to urge the artillery team behind to speed up the march, and they must arrive within ten days, otherwise the whole team will be killed.

Then rebuild the building car, this time there will be another accident, but it is not the business of one leader - all the craftsmen will be killed.

Finally, he said softly: "The cavalry will go out and go farther away, and hold the people more, this time to boil their oil with the bones of the southern barbarians." ”

He sighed at last, this siege battle, no artillery--the effect of using human life is not too good, the kid defending the city obviously relented his strength - only one round of artillery was fired, and the firearms reported by the cavalry were not seen, Ku, Ku - now it can only be like this.

Pingnan Wang Shang Kexi stroked his smooth scalp and fell into deep thought for a moment.

Also in contemplation were the five directors of the Hantang Group.

They had come together to make some changes to some of the original plans.

Chairman Wu Dapeng said: "In the original plan, we decided that Yongshengbo Zheng Cai would keep the production methods and formulas of fine black and gunpowder we gave him confidential, which he did, but we didn't expect that he could supply Zheng Chenggong generously, and he actually gave some of the Hale rockets we provided to Zheng Chenggong!"

This is really unscientific, whether it is in terms of his historical character, or in terms of his historical relationship with Zheng Chenggong - he should not care, he should sit back and watch Zheng Chenggong fail the same as in history, and then wait for Zheng Chenggong's soldiers to return to Xiamen, and we will come forward to save the lives of Yongsheng Bo and Zheng Caige, so that we will benefit the most no matter how we calculate-"

Director Sun Defa snorted and laughed: "The big bird that is foolish loses to one thing-"

Director Li Ziqiang asked curiously, "What is so powerful?" ”

Director Sun Defa said: "Human affection, strictly speaking, family affection, we have no way to calculate human affection - this thing is too random. ”

Director Song Shida said softly: "It is considered that we evoked the family affection of their uncle and nephew? ”

Director Jianguoan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, then Lao Zheng also wants Xiao Zheng's rice-"

When Chairman Wu Dapeng saw that the meeting was going off-topic, he spread his hands and said loudly: "However, we have changed history, which is terrible!" ”

He walked quickly to the side of an original wall chart and said: "You see, Zheng Chenggong occupied Chaozhou, overhauled the city defenses, and the Manchu army going south did not divide the troops, and there were a lot more besieging personnel, and the king of Pingnan, Shang Kexi, also because the city of Guangzhou had strengthened the city defense, and the cannon fodder had to be caught in the Pearl River Delta -- our original intention was to let them destroy the local squire structure, and then let them go to Zhaoqing to arrest the emperor!" At this moment -- history is not fun. ”

Director Li Ziqiang said: "Destroying the structure of the local squire - not the same as killing people!" ”

Director Sun Defa is too familiar with the Guangdong area, he didn't look at the map, so he said directly: "Lizi, the big bird is really not fun, it's going to die, but the big bird wants to have fewer dead people than in history, and now looking at it, it may have to die more-"

"Then let's change the way we play, we can't deal with the ancients anymore?!" Song Shida said softly.

Chairman Wu Dapeng said: "This is the only way, let's redesign a way-"

The five directors patiently looked at the map, searched for information, deduced step by step, and finally decided to change the way of playing.

When the final plan came out, Chairman Wu Dapeng said regretfully: "Don't want to infiltrate Jiangsu and Shandong now, bloom more, and now it has become a little force-"

Director Li Ziqiang said: "This is going to be done with the Manchu Qing? ”

Chairman Wu Dapeng said: "No, it's to let the Manchus know, don't do anything with us!" ”

Director Sun Defa said: "Didn't that Shi Lang come out of the Relanza Hotel immediately, which of you can meet me, I am not free-"

Chairman Wu Dapeng sneered and said: "I hate such a little historical celebrity the most, and I want to see the director when I come in a hurry, let He Bin meet him!" ”

Director Jianguo An said: "I just came back and am on vacation in the second-floor Xingxi area."

"Let him go to the second floor of Xingxi to find He Bin, and in a while, I will tell him the bottom line of the negotiation."

Director Jianguoan said: "It's really unfair, Manager Mei got married, you give people a month's marriage leave at once, Mingren employees, and you have to negotiate on leave-"

"Come on, don't you just ask He Bin to help Director Wang Guotao expand the pig farm, you can't delay things - can Manager Mei Lezhi integrate the cultural power of the Ming people in Xiamen? It's a mission. What a rest, what a marriage leave, which of us can really have a good rest? ”

Chairman Li Ziqiang is still interested in the base at the mouth of the Pearl River, he said: "1,000 security guards, at the level of big bolt guns, is it enough to be prepared?" ”

"Enough!"

The Han Tang Group had studied the situation of the gentry in the Pearl River Delta in advance, and found that they were multi-faceted in terms of mine development, trading with the Portuguese and other Yidi in Macao, operating bazaars and sand tins, slaughtering cattle, raising ducks, lending usury, and imposing private taxes on daily necessities.

This is not nothing, the key is that eighty percent of them are engaged in regional monopolies, and they all have thugs under them, and their children and grandchildren are all civil officials, and they all have the ability to grasp the tools of public opinion.

It's not hard for the Hantang Group to clean them up, but it's definitely a dirty job, and there is no stronger figure here to do it, because they are still fighting back and forth. Of course, they all belong to the group fight level, which is also quite annoying, and it can only be a dream for them to form a joint force.

In the previous discussion of the activities of the gentry in the Pearl River Delta, the Hantang Group was most notable about the dispute surrounding Sha Tin.

The Pearl River Delta of the world is an alluvial plain formed by silt brought by the three upstream rivers of the Xijiang, Beijiang and Dongjiang rivers, and in the Qin and Han dynasties, the area was a narrow bay, the star island of Luobu.

Subsequently, the silt from the three rivers gradually formed the upper part of the delta, and for a long time, the silt accumulated at an extremely slow rate.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the delta began to grow rapidly, and the Yuan Dynasty accelerated its development, and the islands of Xiangshan County were connected to the mainland. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the delta zone was further landized, forming the prototype of the current delta zone.

A sandbar formed by the accumulation of silt forms a sartan (sand tin). That is, the sandbar is naturally formed, and more sediment accumulates around it, accumulating for further development.

Ming farmers were able to build embankments around the perimeter and plant reeds and beans to prevent dike collapse and soil erosion. In this way, after three years and five years, sartan became suitable land for growing rice.

After sartan is formed, more silt accumulates downstream and new sartan is formed. This qiē shows that in the process of sartan formation, human factors accelerated the formation of sartan and the expansion of the delta zone.

During the Ming Dynasty, disputes over the acquisition of Sha Tin were frequent.

The fundamental reason for this is that Sha Tin is a floating field formed in the sea, and the ownership is not clear, so it is not taxable. Therefore, owning Sha Tin brings huge benefits. As long as there is a little force, if you want to fight, you have to fight, but if you can't beat it this time, you will find help from other forces and fight back.

At the beginning, combined with the information he obtained later, and looking at the disputes between more than a dozen major forces in that area, Minister Fan was ready to do something among them, but after deducing it overnight, he gave up the method of finding a representative/manager.

At that time, he said to Chairman Wu Dapeng with a wry smile: "This is a mathematical problem, which cannot be solved with calculus, so let's still use the original method, let the Manchu Qing do this dirty work -- I hope that there will be fewer deaths because we are here." ”

At that time, Chairman Wu Dapeng could only nod silently.

For this work, it is best not to do it yourself. Since it's happened in history, sometimes it's okay to let it happen.

Wu Hualong led the two brothers to the door of the Chen family's compound, looked left and right, no one was following, he waved his hand again, and two brothers stepped forward quickly from behind.

One of the two smiled and said, "Captain Wu, there is absolutely no one following-"
