Jinghong Building

Chapter 363 Zhou Chi’s Relatives and Friends Group

Aqiu had never read books, nor had anyone around her. Before she met He Ran, the biggest official she had ever met was Li Zheng in the village.

No one talked about Renzu in front of her, so she didn't know which Emperor Renzu was.

However, many people still know it.

Liuxia handed the tablet of Emperor Renzu to He Xiulong. He Xiulong smiled coldly and shouted loudly: "All the soldiers, follow me to attack the city!"

Duke Ding's mouth was crooked, and the military doctor could not apply acupuncture. The doctor who treated him now was Zhang. His ancestors had been an imperial physician and he could apply acupuncture. He gave it once yesterday. Everyone said it had improved, but his saliva would still be smooth. Flowing down the corner of his mouth.

Duke Ding has a good foundation. Except for his mouth is still crooked and his right hand is still numb, everything else is no different from ordinary people.

Especially in his brain, Duke Ding is very clear now. He knew that he had relied on Emperor Taizu's tablets for these three days, so the Ran Army did not act rashly.

Duke Ding had never met Emperor Taizu.

Most of his understanding of Emperor Taizu came from his grandmother, Old Lady Meng.

However, what Mrs. Meng talked about the most was not Emperor Taizu, but He Jinghong.

At first, he thought it was because Old Lady Meng and He Jinghong were both women.

It was not until a few years ago that he knew the truth from Mrs. Meng.

It turned out that my grandfather, Lao Dingguo Duke, fell in love with a fifteen-year-old girl at the age of 40.

And he wanted to divorce Mrs. Meng and give the woman the position of the wife as the wife.

No one could persuade him. He Jinghong took action at the critical moment. He could do it, but he had to pass the title to the prince before He Li, and take the beauty to the village to live a happy life of envying mandarin ducks and not immortals.

Of course, my grandfather refused to agree. He finally made a court debut, and it was time to enjoy the results of victory, not to mention that he was not old.

But he can confront his wife, but he can't afford to offend He Jinghong.

He Jinghong asked him to give up his title, which would be able to directly throw the imperial edict on his face.

In the end, the divorce was left unresolved, and the beauty did not even get a concubine. The old Duke Ding and Mrs. Meng were still married and married, and were recognized as model couples in the capital.

Duke Ding couldn't help but smile bitterly when he thought of these past events. If his grandfather and grandmother had divorced, Duke Ding's mansion would have fallen apart long ago. Although he was his grandfather's grandson, he would still have to thank He Jinghong for this matter.

So my grandfather was too stupid and took risks for the sake of a small official daughter.

Duke Ding Guo smiled bitterly, and he never thought of getting along with his wife.

No matter who is his wife, as long as he is virtuous, generous and decent, he can accept it.

Because except Huishan, all the women in the world are the same in his eyes.

Unfortunately, he lost Huishan's child.

Now he already knows that the corpse is not the real Jing Laosan.

Zhou Cangyue and He Xiulong, these two little bastards, made him mess around.

He looked at his right hand and wanted to clench his fist, but he still couldn't do it after trying it.

He sighed and sat up.

Since he arrived in Yangzhou, Ran's army has been unable to move and comes to attack the city at five o'clock every day. Even now, even though he knows that the Taizu tablet is placed in front of the city gate, Ran's army will still make a move.

Just like a vicious dog, he will refuse to give in if he bites his bones.

Yangzhou City is the delicious meat bone, and Ranjun is the evil dog.

It was the fifth day of the fifth day, and Duke Ding was completely sleepy.

He heard someone whispering outside the door, knowing that someone was coming to report that Ran Jun was coming to call again.

This He Xiulong is really persevering.

But what's the use of calling out?

As long as she dared to come to attack the city without caring about it, she would tear off He Ran's fig leaf and tear off He Ran's hypocritical mask, completely exposing He Ran's wolfish ambitions.

Of course, it will be sooner or later for He Ran to be exposed, but now there are still many people supporting King Zhao, and He Ran’s prestige is not enough to make her be rude.

Therefore, as long as the tablet of Taizu Zhou Chi is still there, Yangzhou City will be safe, and He Xiulong can only come here every day to go through the formalities.

Of course, this is not a long-term solution.

Duke Ding tried to clench his fists again, but still failed.

Then wait a little longer.

The sound outside continued, the sound was very low and it was not clear.

Duke Ding said loudly, "Let him come in!"

Soon, a soldier walked in tremblingly, and Duke Ding Guo asked, "His He Xiulong hasn't left yet?"

It seems that this is not giving up. In the past, the gold medal has already withdrawn.

The soldier's mouth twitched and said boldly, "No, I haven't left. Now, now, now, start attacking, attacking the city."

Duke Ding was shocked and thought he had heard it wrong: "What are you saying? What is He Xiulong doing?"

"Here, he's here, he's attacking the city." The soldier trembled, and the Duke's appearance was so scary.

Duke Ding Guo couldn't believe his ears, and he asked in a deep voice: "Didn't the Taizu tablet be carried out today?"

The soldier's voice was trembling: "Release, lift it, but it's useless. He Xiulong is sieging the city with Renzu's tablet."

Duke Ding Guo’s head buzzed, Renzu’s tablet!

Renzu, the father of Zhou Chi!

After Zhou Chi ascended the throne, he posthumously conferred four generations of his ancestors. His grandfather was Emperor Dezu Xuan, his great-grandfather was Emperor Yizu Heng, his grandfather was Emperor Xizu Yu, and his father was Emperor Renzu Wu.

In other words, he used the Taizu tablet to retreat, and He Xiulong held Taizu's father's tablet to attack the city.

"Only Renzu's tablet?" Duke Ding Guo said in a deep voice.

The soldier's eyes widened in surprise, with an expression like how did you know.

"He Xiulong was holding the Inzu tablet, but the person who came to call said that they only invited Inzu and his elders to come here today. If not, they would also invite Yizu and Xizu to come tomorrow. If not, I asked Dezu to take action."

Duke Dingguo.

No wonder He Xiulong has been so quiet these days. It turns out that he is rushing to build tablets.

He was wrong.

Because he had a shameless Zhou Cangyue, he actually forgot that He Ran was also a shameless person!

He Xiulong was brought out by He Ran, so of course he followed suit and was shameless.

So why did his good-looking king army challenge the shamelessness of Ran’s army?

Duke Ding really wronged He Xiulong.

The one who came up with the idea was He Ran.

And Duke Ding also underestimated He Ran.

He Ran asked He Xiulong to send someone to make it, but there were more than four tablets.

But there are eighteen!

Everyone has a share in Zhou Chi's eighteen generations of ancestors. Of course, except for these four digits with titles, the remaining fourteen digits do not even have names, all of which are named after the first generation of Zhou family and the second generation of Zhou family.

You said this is wrong, yes, it is just one generation and two generations. It is right, and there is no name.

In short, all these tablets are ready. As a group of relatives and friends of Taizu Zhou Chi, they are ready to come and cheer at any time.

At this moment, Renzu's tablet was still in He Xiulong's hand. He Xiulong held the tablet with one hand and held a small red flag high in his other hand.

"Prepare—let it!"

With a loud bang, a large crack was blown out of the thick city wall.

This is the Thunder Cannon I just sent to me the day before yesterday.

The thunder cannon was developed and presided over by Dong Jinzhen. There were only twenty of the first thunder cannons. As soon as they came out, they were divided by Feng Zan and Lu Zhen. The honest man He Xiulong didn't get a single one.

The second batch of thunderbolt cannons sent to He Xiulong now.

What made He Xiulong happy was that the second batch of thunderbolt cannons was more sophisticated than the first batch, and in order to make up for her, He Ran gave her five more. Now He Xiulong has fifteen.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The cannon just fired was the first cannon fired by He Xiulong's army. The cannon was fired without any effort, and it hits in one shot!

Ran Jun let out a deafening cheer. If you continue to fight like this, you will no longer have to climb the city wall, and just blow up the gate tower of Yangzhou City.

The loud noise was heard by Duke Ding, who was still in the government office.

"What's the voice?" asked Duke Dingguo.

The personal soldiers didn't know and hurried out to inquire.

A moment later, the personal soldiers came back and told the Duke of Ding that the unfortunate news: "It's artillery, the Ran army dispatched artillery!"

Duke Ding was stunned: "How is it possible? When did the Ran Army have artillery?"

As soon as he said that Duke Ding Guo remembered that Lu Yuncheng defeated Bozhou, and the war report he sent mentioned artillery.

Lu Zhen fired ten cannons at once, blowing the city gates of Bozhou away!

Of course, the imperial army also had artillery, and the previous dynasty had artillery, but it was too bulky. During the Taizu period, he bought fifty artillery from the Red-haired people at a high price. Half of these fifty artillery were given to the border and the other half to Fujian. The coastal area.

Duke Ding saw these artillery at the border when he was young. Although they were lighter than the artillery of the previous dynasty, their hit rate was not high, and it was also very troublesome to ignite. Often, the gunners were shot to death by the enemy before they could ignite.

In addition, it is old and lacks maintenance, so there are only a dozen red-haired cannons in use today.

The war report in Bozhou mentioned artillery, and the Duke of Ding thought of red-haired artillery.

During the last decade of Taizong's reign, various taxes were raised. Therefore, in the past few decades, there have been few red-haired people who come to do business in the dynasty, and I don't know where He Ran bought it from. These artillery.

Until this time, Duke Ding still thought that He Xiulong was using the red-haired cannon.

The personal soldier said, "I don't know, but it is said that there are more than a dozen doors installed in the car. Ran Jun pushed them over, which is very light. By the way, the first shot exploded the city wall."

Duke Ding was stunned. Although the red-haired cannon is lighter than the traditional cannon, it is not as light as it can be installed in a car.

The red-haired cannon at the border took a lot of effort to carry it to the city wall. It was lifted up and never moved again. Even if it was destroyed later, it still had not moved on it. It has been decades since then.

Could it be that the red-haired cannon used by Ran’s military?

No general is not interested in weapons, let alone a killer with such great lethality.

Duke Ding Guo said, "Come on my armor, I'm going to watch the battle on the city tower!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was another loud bang, and this time the sound was louder than before.

"This is not one cannon, it is two, or more!"

Several shots were fired at once, and the earth was shaken.

In the midst of chaos, Duke Ding was dressed neatly and walked out of the government office.

This was the first time he had walked on the street since he fainted that day.

I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but he seems to smell the smell of gunpowder.

Duke Ding's right hand was still trembling, not only his right hand, but his body was not very harmonious on the right half.

In fact, even speaking is a little confused.

For the first time in his life, Duke Ding could no longer get on his war horse.

Only with the help of two personal soldiers, he could sit upright on the horse.

The war horses kept walking up the city wall, and Dingguo was about to dismount, as if he was demonstrating to him, and another burst of cannons sounded.

The Duke of Ding on the city wall could clearly feel the vibration under his feet, and the war horses were frightened and neighed.

The sound of cannons passed, and Duke Ding took over Qianli's eyes and looked around.

He finally saw the legendary cannon!

This is really not a red-haired cannon. There are fifteen brand new cannons, all loaded on the car with wheels underneath. They can be pulled by horse or manpower, carrying these cannons to all directions.

Next to these artillery, a female general sat upright on the horse, holding a tablet in one hand and holding a red flag in the other.

He Xiulong!

At this time, He Xiulong just looked up. Duke Ding was in the eyes of Qianli, and he looked at him with a daughter who could be his daughter at this age.

The young female general had a firm and confident look, and her face was written with the calmness of winning.

In contrast to He Xiulong's calmness, the court army was already in chaos at this time, and was swept by artillery fire. Today, the leader was Zhu Kuan, the prince of the Marquis of Qingyuan, who was the tiger general ordered by Duke Ding.

If Lord Quan had not sent Ding Wu over to order troops and sent him to the scene, the general that Duke Ding originally wanted would be Prince Zhu.

After arriving in Yangzhou, Prince Zhu's performance was remarkable. If anyone in the younger generation of the dynasty could bear the great responsibility, it must be Zhu Kuan.

But Zhu Kuan was still too young, and just a few cannons made him mess up.

Duke Ding sighed as he looked at the army that had no formation below.

In fact, if it was not Zhu Kuan below, but him, the situation would not be much better.

Before he sighed, the red flag in He Xiulong's hand shook again, and the sound of cannons rang out again. The cannon fire swept through the already chaotic formation, and flesh and blood flew everywhere!

A deputy general stumbled to the Duke of Ding and knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Duke, please order to withdraw the troops. How can the flesh and blood fight against artillery fire? Retreat can still preserve its strength at this time. Duke of Governor , for the sake of the overall situation, please order your troops to retreat! ”

Duke Ding said nothing, as if he was demonstrating to him. Several shots were fired at once, and the city tower was hit, bricks and stones were splashed, and his personal soldiers hurriedly protected Duke Ding behind him. Despite this, Duke Ding's cheek was still A blood mark was drawn by broken bricks.

The deputy general who was kneeling on the ground had no time to avoid it and was hit to his head and bleeding.

This time, even the personal soldiers panicked: "Dude, please protect you, this place is too dangerous."

Dingguo was about to speak when he suddenly heard cheers under the city tower, and a slightly immature female voice shouted loudly: "This general He Linlin has severely damaged the prince of Qingyuan Marquis Zhu Kuan!"

"General Linlin is mighty, General Linlin is mighty!"

Duke Ding was stunned: "Is Zhu Kuan still alive?"

At the end of the previous chapter, Shizu was changed to Renzu. Here we draw on the temple name of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty and pay tribute to Emperor Hongwu.
