In this world, strange things are endless, but Li Ruhai didn't think much about it. Looking at the "soldiers" in ragged clothes and strange weapons in their hands, Li Ruhai said to the dozen soldiers around him: "I'm going to order you to temporarily take over the 100 households, each of them will lead 300 people to form a battalion, and then collect weapons, stones and other objects, and first defend the hillside position."

There was a turmoil on the hillside. Fortunately, there were many people here, and it was not long before the position was arranged in a very good manner.

At this time, the Qing army's attack began. Unlike the last time, this time it was a tentative attack.

About three or four hundred people, scattered very wide, climbing up the hillside slowly.

Li Ruhai is now hard on his back. He selected thousands of people with great strength, threw stones down the hillside, and then selected hundreds of people who can shoot and deployed them on both sides.

The rest stayed behind and waited for casualties in front before making up for substitution.

The stones and arrows of the defenders fell like rain, and dozens of Qing troops were smashed to death on the spot and shot to death.

When the Qing general saw that the situation was not good, he knew that the concentration of arrows on the hillside would be known to attack again, and it would be impossible to get it. Thinking that Mingchen and his party had gone away, it would be useless to entangle again.

So he ordered a retreat, abandoned the three realms and went towards the officials.

The battle was so thunderous that it was small, which made many rebels feel unsatisfied.

But only Li Ruhai and the more than ten soldiers who survived around them realized that today he had passed away from the gates of hell.

It is said that if you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune. Li Ruhai inexplicably received rescue from a man of unknown origin, and temporarily gained control of this army.

After cleaning the battlefield, many of the rebels obtained weapons and their spirits immediately improved.

The emergence of this team gave Li Ruhai confidence. In view of the old monk's request, he decided to take advantage of the Qing army's retreat and chase Qian Sule and his party in the northwest.

....

When he arrived at the beach, Wu Zheng was really shocked.

This is no longer the small fishing village where I first settled more than 800 refugees. Not only has the number of residents here increased several times, but the scale has reached at least ten miles.

The Qing army invaded Shaoxing Prefecture. Although it had not yet reached various villages and towns, the people of Shaoxing Prefecture had already fled.

And the strong city by the sea has become the first choice for people to escape.

It's not too much to say that it's already a town.

The city walls more than ten miles away are separated from the outside world.

From a military perspective, the height and solidity of the city walls of this town are even better than Fenghui.

"This is my work, Brother Wu, what do you think?" Shen Zhiyuan, who was hanging his arms, asked for credit with complacently.

The surprise on Wu Zheng's face faded away quickly and he said coldly: "I stocked up on the silver in Pinggang Village. You must have spent it a lot, right? But I was wondering why I didn't get any news. When did this stall bypass me and you decide?"

Shen Zhiyuan's face froze and replied, "Wu Zheng, speak with conscience. Did you promise that Pinggang Costume will be used by Chen Sheng, Jiang Boli and me, so you don't have to report it to you?"

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Have I said it?"

Shen Zhiyuan yelled at the wrongdoing, but now Chen Sheng and Jiang Boli are not here, he can't find the person to prove it.

In desperation, Shen Zhiyuan said: "A dozen miles of city walls cost tens of thousands of taels. Even if this money is not Xiao Lou, my Shen family can afford it. If you really think it is wrong, I will borrow money from my father to make up for you."

Looking at Chen Zhiyuan who was filled with righteous indignation, Wu Zheng laughed silently.

Yes, as the head coach of such a big thing, he did not receive a report, which really made Wu Zheng feel uncomfortable. Not only was he uncomfortable, but he realized that there was a loophole in the rules in the middle.

But Wu Zheng undoubtedly trusted Chen Zhiyuan, who has been playing since childhood, since he was a child.

"Chen Zhiyuan, you should be promoted to deputy commander."

"Wu Zheng, you can't...uh, what did you say, Deputy Commander?" Chen Zhiyuan suddenly went from hell to heaven, stared at him and stamped his feet and exclaimed.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Therefore, thousands of people stationed in the city are enough to deal with the attack of one or two thousand Qing troops. The key is that it can echo the east and west of Pinggang Mountain Village and serve as a supporter. This is enough to promote you to a higher level."

Chen Zhiyuan's face suddenly became happy, and he rushed forward with his one-arm open.

Wu Zheng was unprepared for a while and was saliva whispered by him.

"Zhiyin...Zhiyin, that's what I thought. Then Chen Sheng and Chen Sheng decided to build a small city by the sea. The key point is that there is no need to worry about the sea behind the small city. The Qing army could not form a large-scale naval army in a short time, so as long as the city wall is built on the southwest side, it can withstand the enemy's attack, which can save 40% of the city needs."

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "But this city also has one disadvantage."

Chen Zhiyuan's face froze and asked, "What are the disadvantages?"

Wu Zheng pointed to the sea and said, "If the enemy has fewer troops, this city can indeed block the enemy. But once the enemy's troops are above 30,000, this city has no depth to turn around, and I'm afraid it's a place to be in a slightest."

Chen Zhiyuan frowned and asked before he could not wait: "So, is this money thrown into the river?"

Wu Zheng patted his right shoulder and smiled, "This may not be."

"You have a solution?"

"nature."

"Tell me quickly!" Chen Zhiyuan said anxiously.

Wu Zheng turned around and faced the sea and said, "Have you ever thought that if there was a powerful navy, the sea would become our backyard, which could be advanced or retreated?"

Chen Zhiyuan said in surprise: "You mean to form a navy? But the Qing army is on the shore, and the infantry should be greatly expanded at this time."

"No!" Wu Zheng did not look at Chen Zhiyuan, but said firmly, "What I want to do is not just form a navy, but a navy."

"navy?"

"The fleet that can sail in the depths of the ocean." Wu Zheng's eyes became deeper. "One day, this navy carrying giant cannons can head north along the coastline. At that time, the foundation of the Qing court will tremble and shake in the sound of cannons."

Chen Zhiyuan opened his mouth and became tongue-in-cheek.

After a while, Wu Zheng turned his head and wanted to see Chen Zhiyuan's horror look, but he heard Chen Zhiyuan's sudden sentence, "Wu Zheng, you will not say this, forget it, right?"

Wu Zheng was furious and shouted: "Get out!"

At this time, the court officials and their families had boarded the sea boat, and Zhu Yihai came to invite him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Jinghai, Your Highness, please invite me."

Wu Zheng returned the courtesy and said, "It's just that I'm sending someone to send a message, why do you need to work on His Highness King Lu?"

Zhu Yihai smiled and then walked forward with a twist, "Jinghai Hou, I have something to do, cough... I don't know how to speak to you?"
