After informing Li Zicheng of the location of several grain storage sites in the Gyeonggi area, Zheng Zhilong's eyes temporarily turned to the "internal"!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was about to arrive in Jinling, did not mention the news about North Korea. He only said that it was Tianjin, which involved his great energy.

Zheng Zhilong doesn’t want to give up on Tianjin Guards.

This is an excellent strategic support point. A Wei River leads directly to the Bohai Sea. Not to mention an ordinary flat sand ship, even a large sail warship can sail in smoothly.

If the waterway is smooth, there is a foundation for sticking to this place.

Another one is the favorable geography of Tianjin Aicheng. Its city is located in the southwest, west, north and east sides of Sanchakou, and the south and southeast are not as fertile plains as in later generations. At this time, Jinnan and Jindong were a puddle followed by a puddle, a mud followed by a mud.

Because the terrain is low, not only will the sea tides roll back when it floods, but even if the Wei River is too watery, it will often flood both sides of the straits.

It is sixty or seventy miles from Tianjin Guard to the entrance of the Bohai Sea, but there are not many fertile lands. This is the reason.

Zheng Zhilong was shocked when he first saw the geographical terrain of Tianjin Guards on his way north. He never expected that the gap between Tianjin and Tianjin in later generations was so big.

With such a geographical terrain, it is not too advantageous to defend against the enemy before the river water has frozen.

Even if the cold winter hits, as long as there are a certain number of troops, food, materials, and military supplies in the city, it can become an iron bridgehead.

At that time, Zheng Zhilong had this idea in his mind - he wanted to keep here.

In the early days, he put the nails on Denglai, but never thought about Tianjin because it was too close to Yanjing and was too sensitive to the location. But now, that is a God-given opportunity. No one in the world can find fault!

No matter when the Qing Dynasty entered the pass, whether Li Zicheng could defend Yanjing City, it was his enemy, right? Zheng Zhilong wanted to seize the world.

So, it is really necessary for him to draw a picture in Tianjin Guards. As long as he can successfully nail an iron nail here, the restraint of Yanjing will be too great. He has the feeling of Jiangnan and Jiangbei camp outside Tianjing.

Its threat is far beyond Denglai's reach.

Now that Emperor Chongzhen has left, he is the boss in the Tianjin Guard City. Whatever he says is what he says. What's more, Feng Yuanyang, the governor who is still staying in Tianjin, raised his hands to support Zheng Zhilong's plan. Zheng Zhilong laid a nail at the east gate of Yanjing, which was enough to restrain one of Li Zicheng's arm.

As the pit transportation center of the Ming Dynasty, there was no shortage of food in Tianjin City, and now there was no shortage of manpower. Not to mention the original people in Tianjin City, the male servants and servants of officials and nobles who fled in Chongzhen this time gathered together and became a labor force.

That's what Zheng Zhilong did.

He planned to completely eliminate the force in the hands of those high-ranking officials and nobles, and planned to build several bastions of all sizes around the Tianjin Cang City. Even the Tianjin Cang City itself must undergo transformation to consolidate its own defense.

And this is a very labor-intensive and time-consuming project.

To be honest, Zheng Zhilong didn't think that Li Zicheng and Wu Sangui were enough in the period before the Qing Dynasty decided to win.

Therefore, every minute and every second, even the people of Tianjin mobilized them together, and the food stored in Tianjin was used as wages, and the food they received was obtained through the greatest efforts to complete Zheng Zhilong’s outline!

With Tianjin Cialis as the core, the Triangle Lake is involved to the west, the Wei River is taken care of to the east, the South Canal must be controlled to the south, and the North Canal must be tightened to the north.

In other words, Zheng Zhilong wanted to completely cut off the Grand Canal, the lifeline of Yanjing City.

In this way, even if the Tartars entered Yanjing, they could even push them all the way to Jiangnan. Zheng Zhilong stuck Tianjin, and the grain in the south could not be far away, which was enough for them to feel uncomfortable.

Of course, Li Zicheng is the same. If he could be really awesome and defeat Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty, he might not have had a better life.

Among the eyes sent by Shunjun, after passing Yangcun, the entire Tianjin guards became a large construction site.

Zheng Zhilong seemed to be building high-altitude terraces, even the Tianjin Cang City was no exception. The reinforced city wall diagram looked like a soil terrace, and rows of military houses were built on it.

Li Zicheng and other Dashun Dynasty figures, who had never accepted Western military theory, were confused by them. Chen Yan, who had heard of it, was so quiet that Li Zicheng didn't even send someone to negotiate.

Calling Zheng Zhilong is comfortable to start the "big construction".

It was too late to transport lime cement from the senior officials. Zheng Zhilong used the method used by the Dutch when he built the Relanzha Castle. He also appropriately reduced sugar water, using glutinous rice, oyster shell ash, river sand and sticking. The trench surrounds the surroundings, and the slope earth embankment is the base.

All four gates of Tianjin Aicheng were changed to Half Moon Fort, and the four corners were connected to diamond-shaped castles.

To be honest, the transformation of just one Tianjin Cangcheng is a waste of time. There are so many fortresses outside the city, that is, the labor force in Tianjin Cangcheng is rich. Otherwise, Zheng Zhilong's beautiful outlines would be useless at all.

Men, women, young and old all went into battle, with food and rice everywhere and vertically. Zheng Zhilong relied on the abundant grain storage of Tianjin Guards, which was very rough.

The people in the city and outside the city were all very happy about this.

It is a good thing that can be earned so easily. Only the servants and servants of high-ranking families are unwilling to do so.

The food in Tianjin Aicheng is very cheap, so they don’t care about this little wage.

But their unwillingness was vulnerable to the swords and guns of the Zheng army soldiers. Moreover, none of the high-ranking officials and nobles behind them spoke for them.

Because no one dares to offend Zheng Zhilong.

The latter is the master of Tianjin Guard City. He offended Zheng Zhilong. He was just a sign, so he would not think of Tianjin Guard in a short time.

Compared with such consequences, these high-ranking officials naturally don’t care about their servants and servants.

I don’t think they would take a seat in the court early in order to arrive in Jinling as soon as possible, and they didn’t even care about the danger of taking a sea boat.

Earlier, when Emperor Chongzhen had not left, many people shouted: The son of a daughter cannot sit in the hall. The sea is windy and waves are very high and the danger is heavy. How can the emperor be persuaded to take risks?

What about now?

You can't hear anyone talking like this anymore.

...

"Don't worry, the walls of this castle are six feet thick, and the foundation is paved with large blue bricks. The outer wall is covered with large blue bricks. The upper and lower parts are glued with juice, which is definitely not weaker than solid stones."

In front of Zheng Zhilong, men and women carrying baskets and pushing cars were busy running around the paved roads. Some craftsmen were directing the men to mix earth, while the men were working hard to build the fort wall. The scene was in full swing.

Standing in front of Zheng Zhilong, it was Han Lin who was not in Zheng Zhilong's army to go to Beijing, but after Zheng Zhilong became concerned about the Tianjin Guards, he asked someone to take him from Denglai.

Zheng Zhilong cannot be denied, because he knew nothing about the architecture of this era and could only rely on Han Lin and others.

He believed that Han Lin would not speak wildly, and Zheng Zhilong had witnessed the strength of the Dutch Relanzha City.

In the words of the Ministry of Works officials recruited by Zheng Zhilong, such a fortress wall is sturdy and durable. If you don’t experience war disasters, you can last for hundreds of years without losing it.

Of course, if conditions permit, it is best to add a large amount of adhesive made of syrup, egg white, soy milk, etc. But now isn't there no such conditions.

As a big city with a circumference of more than 9 miles, it is unlikely to make it look brand new in a short period of time.

Zheng Zhilong focused on renovating the city gate and the corners. The city walls were reinforced with limited strength. While ensuring that the original city wall would not collapse due to force, the city wall surface should be thickened as much as possible. A military camp was built on it and a semi-open artillery cannon was set up. It was still very intimidating at first glance.

During the construction and reconstruction of the internal and external defense fortifications of the Tianjin Guards, three batches of high-ranking officials were also sent to Jinling. But when they left, many of the slaves they brought from the capital were thrown in Tianjin.

Zheng Zhilong took all these people, and both men and women went to the construction site to work first, and then talk about other things based on their performance in the future.

Although these servants have far exceeded the average level of today's era in terms of knowledge, being able to be a servant in a wealthy family is not simply a matter of just a face.

I don’t know the saying “I would rather marry a maid than a small family”.

But what Zheng Zhilong can also be sure of is that all these men and women cannot find a few honest and honest ones. Each of them has already overlapped with their former masters, so let’s talk about labor reform first.

It was at this time that the news about Zheng Zhibao was finally delivered to Zheng Zhilong. The latter was mentally prepared for the failure of Shen Qiyuan and his group's plans, but after seeing all the performances of Shen Qiyuan and others, Zheng Zhilong still felt that this was a bit nonsense.

But he still agrees with Zheng Zhibao's series of actions in North Korea. The monarchs and ministers in North Korea are not good things to him, so they should be told to learn a lesson.

As for Li Zicheng, Wu Sangui and the Qing Dynasty, although many news were not something Zheng Zhilong could find, these exchanges that were exposed on the surface were no less than a big show.

After receiving the news from Zheng Zhilong, Li Zicheng did not turn against Wu Sangui from the beginning, but continued to prepare for his own throne ceremony.

He also continued to send eunuchs to Xuan Wu Sangui to come to Beijing to meet with him as soon as possible.

It was as if he hadn't noticed Wu Sangui's antonym of it at all.

Wu Sangui looked like a loyal minister to the Ming Dynasty. He did not mention the Qing Dynasty at all. He only said that he wanted to be loyal to the emperor and die for the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to fight to the death with Li Zicheng.

Then, after leading his army to defeat the two generals Bai Guangen and Ma Ke in Luancheng, he also wrote a letter to Zheng Zhilong and invited him to send troops with him.
