"It's a good thing that you have energy, but you also have to pay attention to your body," Jiang Yuyan was still a little worried about this young man, he lost his father at a young age, although his skills were excellent, but many of the principles of doing things for others were lacking, otherwise he would not have been isolated by the other craftsmen of the guard house soon after his father's death.

"We now have enough food and grass, we have won the battle, and after controlling Manggu Mountain, whether it is hunting, or we can get more food from the people, it is completely enough for you to eat well, your body is broken, I can't find a skilled worker like you." Jiang Yu instructed.

But Lu Chong's young heart and thinking jumped out, and he was pleasantly surprised: "Baihu, did you win in Nansangzhai?" I heard that there are nearly 1,000 Luchuan troops to encircle and suppress you, how is the battle going? ”

"The Luchuan Army has been wiped out," Jiang Yuxuan replied, and saw Lu Chong start cheering, and hurriedly reminded: "Don't change the topic for me, I'll tell you the truth here, no matter when, your body should be paid attention to." ”

Lu Chong touched his head: "I know, Baihu, but the production process of this bird gun is really complicated, we do it tightly, and we have only made less than twenty qualified finished products in two months, I remember you said that after the summer, there is a risk of a big war." ”

"At that time, I may not even be able to equip the hundred people of our guard, let alone the civilians you still want to arm." He explained with a grimace.

"So I'm here to tell you the good news now," Jiang Yu smiled: "At the same time as the Luchuan army was wiped out, Nansang Village was also completely burned down, and the villagers can only accept my conditions now and rebuild the cottage near the Manggu Mountain camp, and at the same time, they also recognize me as the master." ”

"And starting with Nansang Village, the largest village in the Manggu Mountain area, the villages in the entire Manggu Mountain area will be under my control one by one," Jiang Yufu said slowly: "The number of soldiers we can obtain here is still secondary, and the most important thing is the logistics personnel, especially your craftsmen." ”

"Instead of letting these people weave bamboo baskets, it's better to come to the Alchemy Academy to make bird guns!" Lu Chong immediately understood and said excitedly.

"Exactly!" Jiang Yu nodded: "However, it will also take a process for them to come to the Alchemy Academy, and I plan to let them move out of their original place and rebuild a large stockade near the Manggu Mountain camp, which will be connected to our position, so that it is easy to control and manage them." ”

Hearing Jiang Yugang's plan, Lu Chong's face became a little heavy: "Baihu, this is a big project. ”

"Of course I do." Jiang Yuyan said this, in fact, it is not without pressure. But after all, he is a person who has traveled back in time, and he knows the direction of history and what will happen in the future, so he can still maintain his composure.

"We have to prepare for the Luchuan army to attack Mengyang City, sufficient weapons are indispensable here, these people from the cottage join us, the actual burden of my alchemy academy is heavier, do we still have enough time?" Lu Chong asked.

"Enough," Jiang Yugang nodded resolutely: "Now that the front-line army is deadlocked, the Luchuan army will not act rashly on Mengyang's side, at least this spring, we are safe." ”

··························

In the relocation plan of the three cottages of Mangyun, Nansang and Manglu, the first to start is naturally Nansang Village, which has lost its original homeland.

Since the death of the Shaozhai lord Mangge, Nansang Village has fallen into a leaderless state, Jiang Yugang's takeover has almost no resistance, on the contrary, many villagers are still quite grateful to Jiang Yugang for assigning the Ming army to help them rebuild the cottage, and not many people blame Jiang Yugang for the destruction of Nansang Village, but think that the invading Luchuan army deliberately burned down the village.

This mentality, to put it bluntly, is a kind of hatred that leads people to hate the people they hate and choose to trust people who seem trustworthy, even if the truth may be the opposite.

Because Nansang Village was the first to be relocated, the reconstruction of the entire new cottage also revolved around Nansang Village. In the design of Jiang Yugang's new cottage in Manggu Mountain, it is based on the wall of the original Ming army's Manggu Mountain defense line, and a building-like bunker is built on top of it, which is used for both military and civilian purposes.

The material is a mixture of bamboo, earth and stone, which is common in Mengyang, which is easy to build on the one hand, stronger on the other hand, and has the effect of fire prevention. The entire construction work lasted four months, and when it was completed, Jiang Yugang estimated that it would be May of the fourteenth year of Orthodoxy, and it would be of maximum use in the imminent outbreak of war.

And this building, Jiang Yugang named it Manggu Castle, not only to illustrate the function of this building, but also to provide a new identity for the people of the villages around Manggu Mountain, so as to bid farewell to the past———— they will be the residents of Mang Castle, no longer Nansang Village or Mangyun Village, their new head is Jiang Yugang, no longer the bloodline of the owner family in each cottage.

And all of this is Jiang Yu's good for their good, in order to resist the Luchuan army, they need a strong force to protect everyone.

As for the two big villages of Mangyun and Manglu, they were not so cooperative, and the relocation work was not going smoothly, because the Luchuan army in the area of Manggu Mountain was completely wiped out by Jiang Yugang, and their living conditions were greatly improved, and the significance of relocation was lost to a certain extent.

Therefore, the Ministry of Intelligence has obtained a new task, infiltrating these two stockades, doing some dividing work, and at the same time publicizing that the Luchuan Army will attack again, exaggerating panic, and shaking some people, the rest of the things will be simpler, after all, the herd mentality is still the most real.

···································

These days, the villagers of Nansang Village have basically stayed in makeshift tents set up at the Manggu Mountain camp. These large numbers of temporary tents were all from the reserve of Mengyang City, because a large number of soldiers were killed, many tents were idle, and they happened to be borrowed by Jiang Yugang as a temporary place for the villagers to live.

A few hundred meters away, on the defense line of Manggu Mountain, the construction of Manggu Castle has been going on for two weeks, and the bottom of the entire fortress has begun to take shape, and a large number of villagers are busy here. The construction of Mang Castle was under the overall command of Zhang Dake, who was the only one of several skilled craftsmen who was proficient in construction.

His grandfather was the person in charge of various projects in the health center, and he also learned a lot of details and overall construction of buildings since he was a child. Although Jiang Yugang was not familiar with the force analysis and design of these buildings, many people participated in the construction of many buildings, whether it was Nansangzhai or the craftsmen of the Ming army, and their experience was enough to support the construction of Mang Castle.

The establishment of Mang Castle was presided over by ten Ming army craftsmen plus six villagers with rich construction experience, three hundred people were selected from the villagers of Quannan Sangzhai to participate in the construction work, every five people were divided into a group, a total of sixty groups, each group has a team leader, every two groups formed a team, two team leaders one is the main leader, as the captain, the other is the deputy captain, and the construction team of the entire Mang Castle has been established.

Jiang Yugang designed the establishment of this construction team in order to effectively manage the project on the one hand, and on the other hand, to strengthen his own management of these villagers, cultivate their obedient attitude, and facilitate the transfer of people from them to join the Ming army.

Two weeks after the construction time, some people had already expressed their willingness to join the Ming army. They got along with the Ming army of Manggu Mountain day and night, and found that these people had strict military discipline, unlike the Luchuan soldiers who were rampant and rampant, and they were no different from bandits, and all kinds of management and command did not have the high-flying attitude of the Luchuan army.

Jiang Yugang also accepted their joining, and began to form a new team, a total of 100 people, that is, in addition to the 100 people under his command, a new team of 100 households, completely composed of the villagers of Nansangzhai.

At the beginning, Jiang Yugang also considered whether to "mix sand" with these local people raised by Meng, or Lu Chuanren, and mix in some of his own Ming troops. But after much thought, I finally decided to abandon this plan.

He plans to be stationed in Luchuan in the future, so the troops under his command will eventually be overwhelmingly composed of Luchuan people, if the Luchuan soldiers and the Ming army under his command make a clear distinction and treat them differently, it can only be a bane for the future.

Consciously treating the Ming army from Wei and the new army formed by the local people of Luchuan will lead to this understanding between them, and once most people have this sense of difference, countless contradictions will arise from this, which is something that Jiang Yugang must avoid.

On the contrary, treating all people as if they were their own soldiers, treating them equally, dividing them by their professional status, and not adopting other prejudices of all kinds, is the gentlest and most effective form of assimilation.

In Jiang Yu's eyes, people are not the same, but he will never object to people becoming the same, and will never take the initiative to prevent the process of assimilation.

A lot of prejudice doesn't actually arise from the bottom up, but from the top down. Everyone's existence in the world is small, no matter how and in what state, it is small. These small individuals are actually unable to make a big impact.

All the things that are big enough to go down in history, in Jiang Yugang's view, are essentially driven by big forces, and some of the little people who have been pushed to the stage in these things are actually just symbols, signs and even excuses that have been dressed up, and they are illusions.

Jiang Yugang believed that as long as he treated these people equally and guaranteed that no one with power would make trouble among them, he would be able to complete the assimilation of the local people in Luchuan into the ranks of the Ming army.

To put it simply, the whole plan is the so-called, from now on, the Luchuan people and the Ming army are just old symbols, everyone is a part of the newly built Mang Castle, the difference is nothing more than that some people are soldiers, some are craftsmen, and some people are responsible for logistics. As for the place of birth and hometown, it does not mean anything, and no one will be unjustly treated for it, and no one will be looked down upon for it.

In order to ensure that the local people in Luchuan could effectively integrate into the army, Jiang Yugang still decided to choose the local militia as officers, and the most suitable candidate among them was Aouma.

···························

What Jiang Yugang did in Nansang Village was generally seamless, although many times it was as thrilling as stepping on a tightrope, and it could even be said that he was gambling, but the final result was to harvest what he wanted safely, without exposing any design in the process.

Just as the villagers didn't know that it was actually the Ministry of Intelligence that burned down Nansang Village, Auma didn't know that it was Jiang Yugang's plan to put him and his daughter in danger, and he regarded Jiang Yugang as a benefactor who stepped forward regardless of his own safety and saved his and his daughter's lives.

Of course, Jiang Yuyan is also happy to accept Aouma's idea, Auma has made great contributions to the implementation of his plan, from entering the cottage, to opening up the inside, to finally setting up a bureau to kill the Luchuan soldiers, almost all of Auma is in it, or knowingly, or unconsciously exerting his strength, if he knows the complete truth, things will become very bad.
