371. Build a fortress
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping themselves didn't expect that Zhang Xuan didn't wait for him to finish expressing his meaning, so he happily agreed.
In their cognition, the training methods of Zhang Xuan and others should be a secret that should not be passed on, and it is impossible to teach others casually.
They originally prepared all kinds of rhetoric and some conditions in favor of Zhang Xuan and others in order to persuade Zhang Xuan, but these were completely useless at the moment, and this operation made the two of them a little confused.
Zhang Xuan looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping and didn't react, "Isn't this what you guys are talking about?" Well, I won't interrupt you, you say, if you have any instructions for me this time, if it is within my ability, I will definitely do my best, after all, I still have to buy some horses for the two of you! Maybe it's still the type of long-term cooperation! ”
"No, in fact, what we want to talk about is this, and we also want you to help us train the guards, and Uncle Yang also said that your training method is quite useful. I just didn't expect you to agree so easily! Later, the two of us will let the guards go to Brother Yang Zaixing! Su Shuang said on the side,
"By the way, what were you just going to do in a hurry? How can I help you? ”
"I was interrupted by you, I almost forgot, I just went to the outside of the ranch to take a look, the defense of the entire ranch, there is only a little wall made of wood, just relying on this wall, I feel that I may not be able to withstand the large-scale impact of the other party!"
"Massive!?"
It's time for Zhang Xuan's most hated explanation again!
"Large-scale, you can simply understand that there are many people, if it is like the hundreds of people before, with the combined force of the Su family and the Zhang family now, plus the people trained by Brother Tiger, they should be able to resist, but what if they send thousands of people, tens of thousands of people! This ranch is definitely going to fall! ”
Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping listened to Zhang Xuan's "thousands of people" and "tens of thousands of people", and he couldn't help but feel that he was pulling his mouth, Zhang Shiping was no better, if it was thousands of people, wouldn't it be the army?
It seems that the entire Zhongshan County and the surrounding villages may have a population of a few thousand, and the total number of officers and soldiers is nearly 200 or so, so the two of them are very confused about the number of Mao thieves mentioned by Zhang Xuan, how can these Mao thieves gather so many people!
"Brother Zhang Xuan, let me interrupt, will they have so many people? A few hundred people should always be their upper limit! ”
Zhang Xuan was stunned for a while, then touched his nose, thinking that in Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping's cognition, the people who attacked the two families were just thieves gathered in the mountains and forests, and there were only hundreds of people who died.
Zhang Xuan didn't think about correcting the two family heads, let alone saying anything about the Taiping Sect, lest he be regarded as a psychopath. After all, only those who have experienced this kind of thing will know what it is, and those who have not experienced it, the more they listen, the more they will feel that Zhang Xuan is talking big.
This is an exaggeration, don't be so entangled, let alone worry about such a trivial matter! I also said that this is just in case. In fact, I like to plan for the worst situation, so that when I really encounter it, I won't be in a hurry! It can be implemented step by step according to the previous plan. ”
After hearing this, the two heads of the family suddenly realized, and then nodded in agreement!
"I won't talk about anything else, just pick up what I just said, and continue, let's take a look at the structure of Zhang's ranch. Now I have a brain, paper and pen! ”
After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, although Zhang Shiping didn't know what Zhang Xuan was going to do, he immediately asked people to go to the study and bring pens, paper and ink.
Zhang Xuan drew a circle on the paper and drew a horizontal line on the circle.
"Let's say this is a ranch, and this is the front door of the ranch, the first thing we have to do is to check and reinforce the entire ranch wall, which is absolutely necessary!
If the thieves find a loophole in the wall, and in the middle of the night, they will directly enter the interior of our ranch through this loophole, combining inside and outside, once this happens, many of the things we do now will only be useless.
In fact, what I like to do the most is this kind of thing, find a loophole, and you can go straight to Huanglong! I also ran around the entire ranch twice in the morning, and this ranch is big enough, so checking for leaks and reinforcing the fence is definitely a big job, but it is absolutely essential and there is no room for sloppiness!
If possible, I would suggest reinforcing the outer and inner layers of the wall, but this is also of the essence and is impossible! In the future, if you have time, do it yourself! ”
Then Zhang Xuan drew a rectangle at the front door of the ranch, pointed to the two corners of the rectangle, and said:
"I suggest that when the wall is repaired, in the rectangle I have drawn, at the places of these two corners, two watchtowers should be built, and you should have seen the barracks, so that they should be built according to the kind of barracks, and a gate should be built between the two lookouts, and all the people who go out of the house will enter and exit through this gate, and the wall will still be built.
Two wooden huts were also built in the factory to allow the sentry men to rest. I'll wait a minute, I'll move on!
Anyway, whether it's the lookout, or the rest, it's good to build according to the architectural design of the normal barracks, it doesn't matter if it's built a little bit, it can withstand more than a dozen waves of impact, and it doesn't matter if it's a little less, anyway, the biggest use is for lookouts. ”
After Zhang Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping, both of whom were staring at the simple drawings drawn by Zhang Xuan, and were stunned!
"If there's any questions, you can ask me? Don't hold it back, it's not good to hold it for a long time! ”
"Brother Zhang Xuan, we are going to march and fight!"
"Almost, now I'd advise you all to go to wartime, we don't know when these thieves will come, so keep everyone on their guard!
And I plan to let your guards take a group of us, group shifts, two hours a shift, then responsible for the lookout and daily patrol, then I will make a patrol plan according to the number of people! Therefore, two heads of the house, give me a copy of the roster of the guards in your house.
And I suggest that all the guards of the two of you can train us, anyway, patrol can also be used as a kind of training subject! Well, that's my advice! I hope you will adopt it!
Because we still have to take a long-term view of what we do, and if we want to do it, we will do it well, do our best, and obey the destiny of God, after all, we don't know what will happen in the future! ”
Su Shuang thought for a while and said to Zhang Shiping:
"I agree with Brother Zhang Xuan's approach! To tell the truth, our two families are fragrant in the eyes of many people! Over the years, I have also encountered a lot, there are coercion, some robbery, some slow light food, all kinds of ways, nothing more than thinking of gnawing a piece of meat on our two families, and more directly wanting to occupy the family business of our two families.
Now I understand that I have to rely on myself for a lot of things, and I am really strong enough, so I just need to fight these back!
Now that there is this opportunity, the strength of both of us will become stronger, and it may even be possible to build a strong fortress for our two families, I agree with Zhang Xuan's suggestion, and in the afternoon I will let people implement it according to Zhang Xuan's design! ”
"Brother Su, what you said, I also raised my hands in approval! I think the training can be delayed, anyway, I can't practice anything in a day or two! It's better to do a good job of checking leaks in the wall and the lookout first, and then simply build a silhouette first, and then slowly improve it!
If you still have time, think about it! But these days, I have to trouble you Brother Zhang Xuan a little more, if the thief comes to commit it during this period, it may have to be handed over to you! ”
After Zhang Xuan, Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping summed up in the courtyard, everyone in the Su family and the Zhang family was in operation, and Zhang Xuan and others also participated in it according to the plan, divided into several groups, prepared wood, transported, and built, and everyone began to build a "military fortress" belonging to the Zhang family.
Just when the Zhangjia Ranch was in full swing, at the foot of Anyang Mountain, Ma Yuanyi led people to wait for someone.
