Wu Tiexing said, "Your Majesty, I have 1,387 Folang machines, twelve red cannons, and as for other small cannons, there are hundreds of them."

"Among them, all the Red Cannons were towed by new-type cannons, and 300 of the Flang machines used new-type cannons."

Zhu Cijiong nodded, the artillery was enough.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the two rivers on the map and said in a deep voice: "Uncle, you can collect three thousand small boats of various colors for me, even rafts."

Zhang Siyuan responded in a deep voice.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the two heads of the firearms workshop: "You two workshops are working hard to build iron chains now. The more you remember, the better!"

The Tang River and the Baihe River are all inland rivers, and the river channel is not deep, and the Qing army is going against the flow again. This time, he will let the Qing army know why the flowers are so red!

Zhang Siyuan was shocked and instantly understood what Zhu Cijiong was going to do.

The iron locked across the river can block two rivers and force the Qing army warships to stop...

...

Xiangyang City.

Xiangyang is the central city in the adjacent areas of Hubei, Henan, Chongqing and Shaanxi. It has always been a rich place and is one of the three rice cities.

There are three places in Huguang, namely Xiangyang, Jingzhou, and Wuchang.

Xiangyang has been a transportation fortress since ancient times. It is known as the "Southern Xiang Pass Road", "Southern Boats and North Horses", and "Seven Provinces' Full Crossing". It has always been the channel for trade and cultural exchanges between the north and the south.

This place was originally a prosperous place, relying on the Han River, the first tributary of the Yangtze River, and the Xiangyang generation where dozens of rivers such as the Tangbai River gathered, the output has always been quite low.

Even though there have been severe droughts in recent years and even other places have no harvests, Xiangyang's generation can still have some harvests.

However, at this time, this rich place was like hell on earth.

After the gentry took out 300,000 stones of grain that Heshunlai had established, the gentry took out 300,000 stones, but unexpectedly they were poisoned by the Qing army.

Almost overnight, all the great clans in Xiangyang that had been passed down for a hundred years were slaughtered.

When the Qing army saw the blood, they turned into a demon crawling out of the area. When stimulated by this huge profit, they instantly seemed to be injected with chicken blood.

There are burning manors everywhere, and there are landlords and gentry who are forcibly tortured, burning, whipping, and tooth extraction... endless miserable means are used on these gentry who are always high...

The plundered wealth further stimulated these demons.

However, between the two days and the other days, there are still people in Xiangyang who can survive alone, but eleven...

The style of the Qing army's attack on the Southern Ming Dynasty was once again launched, and this time, Xiangyang, which had been stable for more than ten years, had finally restored the order completely gone into nothing!

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, an emergency message was sent to Heshunlai - Ming Jun is here.

Only then did he restrain his subordinates and prepare for war.

At this time, the wealthy Xiangyang families were already wearing mourning...

Hearing that Zhu Cijiong personally led an army of 20,000 to Xinye, Heshunlai did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly asked his generals to lead the navy to advance east along the Tangbai River line to resist the Ming army and Xiangzhou.

Although Xiangyang is a name, it has three cities, namely Xiangyang City on the west bank of the Han River, Fancheng on the north bank, and Xiangzhou on the south bank.

This Xiangzhou is just nestled with the Tang River. The bank of the Tangbai River formed by the convergence of the Baihe River is the place where you must first guard Xiangyang.

...

Shinno.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the information in front of him and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Zhang Da!"

Zhang Da stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the last one is here!"

Zhu Cijiong said, "I promise you three thousand soldiers and horses to arrive ten miles outside Xiangzhou City and provoke Alanayue. Remember, you will win a small game first, and then give me only a defeat but not a victory!"

"Ah!" Zhang Da frowned: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Cijiong waved his hand: "Remember, lead Alana to the Baihe River for me. After he goes deep into the Baihe River, you retreat to the north, but when you see the thick smoke rising from the river, you will immediately cut off his retreat!"

Zhang Da's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty wants to swallow Alannayue's troops?"

This Alanayue led the Qing army vanguard and most of the navy, the one thousand eight banners and four thousand green camps.

If we can take over Alannayue's troops, then Xiangzhou will be able to be put in an end!

Once Xiangzhou is taken down by them, Fancheng will definitely not be able to defend it!

In this way, they occupied the east coast of the Han River and had to build a navy to trap Heshunlai tightly!

"What, you dare not?" Zhu Cijiong said excitedly with a smile.

"What did Your Majesty say? Finally, he will follow His Majesty to fight south and north, and even Fulin is arrested by him. How could he be afraid of a little nameless person!"

General Zhang slapped his chest so loudly. He took the tiger talisman handed over by Zhu Cijiong and turned around.

"Li Henggong!" Zhu Cijiong looked at a Li family member.

This kid has been secretly competing with Zhang Shiling since he planted sweet potatoes.

After that, he even hid the battles.

Zhu Cijiong could guess that the generals of his troops were no secret to the Qing army.

The only few people who were suppressed by him were not used, because they had no military merits, so in the eyes of the Qing army, they were probably unknown.

When Li Henggong heard Zhu Cijiong's call, he immediately stepped out of the crowd. He said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the last one is here!"

Zhu Cijiong took out a tiger talisman: "I have summoned three thousand small boats to prepare the fire-driven thing to hide a hundred miles east of the Baihe River convergence. But when you hear the noise on the front line, you should immediately rush down. When you arrive at the Qing Navy, ignite the boat and burn them all for me!"

"Get orders!"

Li Henggong was overjoyed and gave a military salute.

Zhu Cijiong looked at Niu Erwa: "Niu Er, you are the old man who follows me. I will give you an important task, bring an iron lock, and 70 miles from the entrance of Baihe River. After three consecutive bends, give me the iron lock in the Hengjiang River!"

"Abide by the order!" Niu Erwa took over the military order.

Zhu Cijiong looked at the rest of the people: "Everyone, when Baihe leaves Henan, there is a straight road about seventy miles long, facing downwards, and our army sets up a pocket array here!"

Everyone was ordered to turn around and left.

...

Let’s talk about Zhang Da. After receiving the military order, he set off at night and waited until early the next morning to arrive ten miles outside Xiangzhou City.

When Alanayue heard that the Ming army was coming, she also sent her subordinates to check it out.

Not long after, the defeated army fled back in a hurry.

Alana was furious and beat the leader of the whip. After asking carefully, he learned that when the Ming army saw them step forward, the entire army rushed forward without saying a word, and then defeated his five hundred men.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Alanayue suddenly burst into laughter: "Everyone, this rebel guy is so arrogant!"

Everyone did not dare to get the general's bad intention at this time, so they had to laugh and echo a few words.
