On the north stream of Rongjiang River, ten large bird boats had already put away their sails, put down their long oars, and rely on manpower to slowly move forward on a section of water flowing from south to north near Jieyang County.

The Rongjiang North Stream flows roughly from north to south, but near Jieyang County, there is also a four-mile waterway that turns from south to north. After flowing north for a while, it turns to the southeast again.

Therefore, when the fleet that was coming up with the wind and the flow became a headwind and could only be driven by the oars when approaching the destination.

When the shouts of "receiving sails and taking oars" sounded on the leading large bird boat, Qiu Rong was already standing on the stern deck of the bird boat with his sister Qiu Shuzhen and his little brother Qiu Hu, holding a thousand-mile mirror in his hand and looking towards the Beixi Pier.

A group of "Confucian disciples" with cloth clothes and scarves gathered on the Beixi Wharf, and a colorful archway to welcome the VIPs have also been built. There are still people beating drums and drums on the wharf, which is very lively.

It is obvious that the subordinates of the Third Prince Zhu and the Third Prince Zhu were still vigilant and did not take it lightly because of the Chinese New Year, so they could find the fleet from the downstream from afar.

It turns out that it is a bit new and vigor! Scar Rong nodded slightly, then held up a thousand-mile mirror and looked for Zhu Hetong among the group of "Confucian disciples".

Because these "Confucian disciples" were all wearing "Confucian uniforms" and were bearded men, they were almost the same from a distance. So Scar Rong didn't look for Zhu Heying for a while, but he saw Da Boling in red and then saw Zhu Heying standing beside Da Boling and talking and laughing with Da Boling.

Scar's scar face suddenly sank!

This cannon Zhu was too unreasonable, and he didn't even look at what day it was today. He actually came to the dock with Daboling so openly.

He really thought he was the master of the Dahao Qiu family?

In addition, Daboling really despises herself. With her identity, even the official wife of the cannon Zhu cannon Zhu cannon Zhu be her! Why did she just "send" herself to the cannon Zhu? Did she really think that the cannon Zhu will one day restore the Ming Dynasty and become the emperor?

When he was really evaluating Zhu Heying's future "growth space", a girl Shuzhen's happy voice suddenly came to his ears: "Brother Pao, I saw Brother Pao. He is with Mrs. Su, Mrs. Su is so beautiful!"

Scar Rong put down Qianlijing and stared at the girl. Why is this girl heartless? Daboling is a rival to her for men and praises her for being beautiful! Alas, the more beautiful the others are, the more likely you are to stay alone in the empty room!

Oh, by the way, Scar Rong suddenly remembered, "It seems that no one has told this stupid girl Da Boling has become a woman of cannon Zhu! Then should I tell her? This girl is stupid, even if she knows how powerful Da Boling is, she may not be able to beat her, right?"

When Scar Rong was in a struggle for thought, on another big bird boat sailing towards Jieyang North Stream Pier, Charlie Goff and Ji Dabao of the British East India Trading Company were also looking around with a thousand-mile mirror.

However, they have not yet discovered the group of "Confucius disciples", they are observing the "Jieyang Lenin Castle"!

"Oh my God, is this a bastion?"

Charlie Goff was an original British businessman, knowledgeable and participated in wars on the European continent when he was young, so he naturally knew what the remodeled Jieyang County was.

This is a fairly simple castle!

The city wall was filled with straw bags filled with soil, and the "sandbag wall" such as the inclined surface was built with strong anti-cannon capabilities. Not to mention the red cannon, even if a 20th century "Idaili cannon" was brought, it would be impossible!

And outside the three gates in Jieyang County, sandbags are used to build "Three-ringed Platform Fortresses" with large territory and small upper floors. The anti-cannon capability is also amazing!

In the northwest and southwest corners of Jieyang County, two artillery towers with the same triangular ridges were built.

In the northeast and southeast corners of Jieyang County, two small triangular fortresses were piled up with straw bags.

Although Ji Dabao had never fought in Europe, he was a Filipino han, and he lived outside the "Centenary Fortress" in Santiago, Manila since he was a child. He could also see Anping Castle every day when he was in Taiwan.

So, Charlie Goff then continued: "Consul, this castle must have been built in the form of Rezalan City? It's a bit similar, but after all, there is no guidance from Western engineers, but it's just a form."

"Don't have the guidance of a Western engineer?" Charlie Goff put down the Qianli Mile Mile and looked back at Ji Dabao, "Do you know?"

Ji Dabao nodded and said with certainty: "Of course, Mr. Consul, I have been paying attention to the situation in Jieyang."

Charlie Goff frowned, "This fortress only uses the cheapest building materials and the most artificial construction method. Maybe it cannot stand in the wind and rain for a hundred years, but in the face of enemy artillery fire, its performance will definitely be better than the Hot Chalamburg and the Santiago Fort that has not been repaired for a hundred years."

"Yes, is that strong?" Ji Dabao still couldn't believe it.

Charlie Goff nodded with certainty, pointing to a nearest triangular fort, saying to Ji Dabao: "Look at the triangular fort, it is not a triangular fort (but a triangular fort, and a trench that delays the enemy's advancement outside the fortress, and a wooden fence is erected.

In addition, the distance between each two triangular towers is very reasonable, and it can form a cross and cover firepower!

So I can guarantee that the engineers who designed the reconstruction plan for this castle must be proficient in mathematics!”

Ji Dabao thought for a while and said to himself: "That person must be Zhuge Sanhe."

As he said that, he saw the group of "Confucian disciples", so he quickly put down the Qianli Milestone, then raised his hand and pointed, "Consul, look at the Confucian scholars there who were wearing long robes, headscarves, big beards, and swords. They should be Confucian scholars who designed the renovation plan for Jieyang Castle."

What? Wearing a robe, a headscarf, a beard and a sword? Charlie Goff immediately had a very bad premonition!

Because in his career, any man wearing a robe, a headscarf, a beard, and a sword carrying a sword is usually not easy to talk to!

If they happen to have a powerful "sky thunder", that would be even more unreasonable!

Thinking of this, he quickly raised the Qianli Mile Mile Mile and looked in the direction of Ji Dabao's finger. He soon saw a group of "Yuan Confucian scholars and doctors" who were hard and simple, so his face became even more ugly.

"How do they dress like this?" asked Charlie Goff, "They seem to be different from the Confucian scholars we saw in Ping'an Town!"

There were Confucian scholars and Confucian academies in Taiwan under Zheng Jing's rule. Zheng Jing himself dressed in a literati who looked easy to bully.

And why do these Confucian scholars who appeared on the Beixi Pier in Jieyang carry swords that cut people? There seemed to be a terrible grenade hammer hanging on their belts, and everyone was unshaven, which looked very fierce!

"Of course it's different!" Ji Dabao smiled contemptuously at this time, "These people claim to be Yuan Confucians, and they are talking nonsense that the Ming Dynasty is the destruction of the world because of the decay and depravity of the scholars and officials in the world, and they do not have the martial arts and courage to cut down people! Therefore, they must act like Confucian scholars in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period and even the older Confucian scholars, firmly oppose extravagance and waste, and save every copper plate on the blade, which is really stingy!"

"God," Charlie Goff took a breath, "they, they turned out to be Confucian Puritans!"
