Zhao Lie left Lushun much later than Huang Taiji.
He only left Lushun in June.
The reason why Zhao Lie left so late was because Lushun had been attacked and defended several times, especially this time by more than 30 Jiannu general cannons, which basically destroyed the bricks covering the north wall of the south city of Lushun, and exposed the rammed earth base in many places.
If there are big cracks, if there are two seasons of heavy rain, there may be problems, and the Nancheng of Lushun will be undefendable.
Therefore, the northern wall of the southern city of Lushun must be rebuilt, otherwise it may not be able to withstand the next artillery bombardment by Jiannu.
In this era and place, it is unimaginable to not have the protection of the city wall.
Is it impossible to fight with Jiannu in the field?
The North City of Lushun has been burned down twice in the past ten years, and it can be said that it can barely hold on.
It can no longer hold on, so Zhao Lie decided that he could only repair it and strengthen it into a fortress.
As long as twenty-four-pound cannons are deployed at the head of the two cities, the two cities will become fortified cities.
Even if Jiannu's entire army comes to attack and finally captures these two cities, Jiannu will have to spend tens of thousands of lives to fill them.
I'm afraid the Jiannu couldn't bear it.
According to Zhao Lie's order, the Shidao Fleet dispatched all their merchant ships to transport thousands of tons of cement to Lushun, and at the same time transported Jinghaiwei's army to replace Beihua Town's 2,000 soldiers and Jeju's 2,000 soldiers. , after all, after half a year of combat and duty, they were tired to a certain extent and continued to rest and replenish.
As soon as the cement arrived, the renovation of the two cities began immediately.
With the bonding of cement, repairing the city was actually very simple.
It was to lay the cement base and level it, and then use cement to glue the city bricks together one by one.
Soon the north city head of Lushun South City was A new look.
After renovation, the outer brickwork was completely restored, and the bottom was made of half-foot-thick cement.
Even the projectiles of the thirty-six-pounder cannon could not hit it.
Not to mention that the largest gun in Jiannu was only the twelve-pounder.
If it weren't for the fact that these knock-off cements had problems with the fineness of the particles and were easily cracked when used over a large area, Zhao Lie would have covered the entire northern city wall with cement.
Even so, Lushun Nancheng is also indestructible.
Next time Jiannu will be helpless even if he has hundreds of general cannons.
Zhang Pan looked at the mighty appearance of Lushun City now.
I really have mixed feelings.
Fortunately, Lushun is different.
Not only the city walls have been strengthened, but thousands of elite soldiers and dozens of giant cannons have also been added.
His combat power is unparalleled.
Sadly, for the past ten years, he has been asking the court to renovate Lushun City and strengthen his armor.
However, the aid provided by the court has been scattered, which is extremely pitiful.
Zhang Pan, who experienced the fall of Liaodong and fought life and death with Jiannu for more than 20 years, is the same now.
He would stand with anyone who could help him take revenge.
Although Zhao Lie and the court were not at peace with each other and were wary of each other, they had a rough relationship with Zhang Pan, and Zhang Pan only wanted revenge.
For this reason, Zhang Pan specifically proposed that once the renovation of the North City was completed, he would lead his troops to garrison the North City, while leaving the South City to be guarded by the Polu army led by Wei Mingtao.
Showing his sincerity.
Even if Zhang Pan doesn't mention it, Zhao Lie will mention it.
After all, Nancheng with the wharf will be guarded by the Ming army and the retreat of thousands of rogue troops will be handed over to others.
Even if this person is Zhang Pan, it is not something Zhao Lie can bear. .
Since Zhang Pan knew the situation and took the initiative to give in, Zhao Lie did not give in.
In order to compensate Zhang Pan, a large number of captured soldiers and armors were sent to support Zhang Pan's subordinates.
At least Zhang Pan's subordinates were given a piece of leather armor.
Zhao Lie can still do it.
So both families were happy, Zhao Lie got the leadership of Lushun, and Zhang Pan got Zhao Lie's trust and help.
With these troops, whose armor was quickly damaged, they would be replenished and trained.
His strength will rise to the next level.

As long as his strength is there, Zhang Pan doesn't believe that the imperial court can still cause trouble for him.
Even if he shows his kindness to Zhao Lie, the imperial court will still be able to mobilize 20,000 to 30,000 troops to attack him.
It is absolutely impossible.
The fifth day of June in the eighth year of Chongzhen.
Zhao Lie said goodbye to Zhang Pan, Zhu Guochang, and Wei Mingtao at the dock, and left Lushun for Jeju.
Zhao Lie deeply felt that the Ming Dynasty would be in great internal turmoil in the future.
He was afraid that he would never be able to leave Shidao and Denglai again.
Therefore, this time might be his last chance for freedom.
He would go to Jeju and Beihua to take a good look at the current situation of overseas territories.
The local military and political affairs are also very reliable.
Ten days later, Zhao Lie arrived at the Jeju Pier.
He, Li Hu, and Li Lu went to the dock to greet Zhao Lie.
At the same time, he also informed Zhao Lie of the news that the shogunate should have delivered this year's 250,000 taels of silver in March this year. , used by the Tokugawa shogunate The excuse is not to deliver.
At the same time, forts are being built on a large scale in Edo Bay.
The Dutch have provided construction drawings and sent people to provide instructions and provide huge cannons.
At this time, more than half of the construction has been completed.
Soon Edo Bay will be occupied by more than twenty Surrounded by forts.
"Sir, the Tokugawa family of the Japanese country just wants to block Edo Bay with forts and prevent the navy from advancing.
As long as our army cannot attack Edo, they can land in other places to attack the Japanese country.
The great general of the Japanese country, Iemitsu, is not afraid.
They I think my Mingren's foot combat skills are too far behind, and I am far from the opponent of Iemitsu's subordinates."
Li Hu stepped forward to report.
"This was reported secretly by people from the Changzhou feudal clan, and it can be said to be true."
Fang Yu whispered.
Zhao Lie nodded.
He had already thought about the dishonesty of the Japanese nation.
The Japanese nation has always been a nation that rebelled against others.
They were famous for turning their backs on others and beating up those who were treacherous and unfaithful.
However, this kind of national character began to take shape during the Warring States Period in Japan.
During the Japanese Warring States Period, more than a hundred daimyo launched a brutal battle for hegemony.
Although each daimyo's territory was not large, that is, it was only one county, but they killed each other.
The fight was extremely fierce.
At this time, methods such as subjugating superiors, eating inside and outside, etc. appeared one after another here, which is the so-called collapse of the etiquette system.
Therefore, from now on, the so-called trust has completely disappeared here.
There is only one belief here, and that is strength.
In other words, there is no essential difference between the Japanese today and the Japanese hundreds of years later.
They are all generally shameless.
If you don't conquer them completely, they will never give in.
Of course, if you beat them into submission, they will kneel down and sing the rhythm of conquering and licking.
Zhao Lie planned to destroy the peace treaty as early as last year after it was initially concluded.
After all, the peace treaty did not allow the so-called general of the Japanese country to abolish the order of seclusion.
The sea trade of the Japanese country has not been restored.
Now the Dutch are enjoying the benefits, because only theirs Sea ships can trade with Japan, but nothing else can.
It simply monopolizes the sea trade of Japan, and the profits earned are enviable.
Many businessmen have come to Jeju, hoping that the Polu Army Navy will open the retreat of Japan.

For this purpose, they can even provide silver coins and rewards for sending troops, including Businessmen Luo Pang, Yan Junyi and others from Shidao.
Zhao Lie did some calculations and found that Jiannu had just experienced the great defeat of Port Arthur and had been somewhat damaged.
I am afraid that he would not be able to invade this year, and there would be no enemies in other directions.
It seems that this year is a good time to deal with the Japanese.
It is best to do it once and for all.
It is necessary to solve this trouble, otherwise there will not be much time to be hindered by the Japanese in the future.
"Issue an order to gather troops.
Let the soldiers from Jeju, Beihua, um, and the soldiers from Shidao arrive here within three months.
The target, the Japanese country, must be decided in a battle, so that the Japanese country can become a vassal from now on.
"Zhao Lie turned around and looked at everyone and said decisively.
Li Hu, Li Lu and others hurriedly accepted the order.
Their smiles could not be concealed.
This time, hehe, I am afraid that they will earn a lot of military expenses.
With the compensation from the Japanese country, the money and food for the Jeju navy and soldiers will be very loose. few.
"Jeju can only keep half of this military expenditure, and the rest will be handed over to Shidao.
Shidao will have a heavy burden in the future."
Zhao Lie's words immediately made Li Lu and others grimace, and half of their eggs were broken.
One night three days later, in a house in Jeju City, Yamauchi Nobu, now wearing a bun, was waiting in the main hall.
Now he is responsible for contacting Jeju Akito, and he often walks secretly between Ogi City and Jeju.
Ever since the general issued the order to lock down the country, he and his family governor Moori Xiu had keenly sensed the opportunity.
They knew best how much the Ming people of Jeju valued the maritime trade routes of Japan.
Otherwise, they would never have repeatedly turned against the shogunate, nor would they have any private dealings with the Omi clan.
Now that Tokugawa Iemitsu has ordered the country to be locked down, they estimate that the Akito of Jeju will make big moves.
Therefore, Yamauchi Nobumasa came to Jeju on the order of the family leader to find out the news, so as to determine the behavior of Ogi Fan.
Sure enough, as soon as he arrived in Jeju, he was guided to the secret harbor to land and asked to see Mr.
Fang Yu.
Today he was led to this house that he was very familiar with.
This was the fastest time he had been led to the house when he asked to see Mr.
Yamauchi Nobumasa.
I guess there must be something important, and I have a vague feeling that it has a lot to do with the Choshu clan.
Yamauchi Nobumasa was wondering in his mind.
The footsteps of many people could be heard outside, and he hurriedly stood up and faced the door.
Fang Yu, who was fully armored, was seen entering the room accompanied by several guards.
"Greetings to Lord Mingguo."
Nobumasa Yamauchi bowed deeply and paid homage.
"Do it."
Fang Yu smiled slightly and cupped his hands.
After the two sat down, the others exited the room.
"Sir Yamauchi, you have worked hard all the way.
I have received the last two messages from you.
It can be said that it has been of great help to our army."
Fang Yu first praised him, and Yamauchi Nobuzheng's face lit up.
"This time my general has decided to send troops to the Japanese country to conquer Buchen.
I hope that the Choshu clan will continue to inquire about all the news about the shogunate."
Next is the request from the Polu Army.

Generally speaking, the leading party of the Changshu Domain is extremely active and obedient, and Fang Yu is also generous with his praise.
Yamauchi Nobumasa was in a state of shock.
He had finally waited for this moment.
He had endured humiliation and hardship for many years just for this day.
As for whether the Imperial Army could defeat the shogunate's flag, anyone else would say it was impossible.
However, Yamauchi had been in and out of Jeju many times, and he believed that the combat power of the Jeju Mingjin infantry was far superior to that of the shogunate's flag.
Yamauchi Nobumasa fell to the ground and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Mr.
Zhao.
Thank you very much.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Choshu feudal lord."
Tears rolled down Yamauchi Nobumasa's face.
Finally, it was dawn, and it was dawn for both the Choshu clan and him.
