"What if someone still doesn't want to?" An Bai is still a little worried: "Every village has some thorns. ”

"These people simply don't care about them, they don't want to move with the village, so let them fend for themselves and face the possible bandits and the Luchuan army alone." Jiang Yu was recklessly determined: "The village union must be established. ”

·······················································

The first battle of Nansangzhai is a sign of the Luchuan army's forces being completely swept away in Manggu Mountain, and thousands of soldiers who can fight have been wiped out by Jiang Yugang in the defense line of the Ming army and Nansangzhai successively, such a serious loss will almost only occur on the largest battlefield of tens of thousands of people, but this kind of thing is almost unnoticeable in the mountains and forests of Manggu Mountain.

The two nights of fighting eliminated the authority of the Luchuan army and established the prestige of the Ming army in this area.

Of course, it is far from the time to celebrate, and the more important thing is to establish a village union across the entire Manggu Mountain.

Manggu Mountain is the largest mountain range in the southwest of Mengyang City, and countless villages are built in the flat land between the mountains. Among them, the largest villages distributed from north to south are Mangyun Village, Nansang Village, Manglu Village, around these three villages, there are many small cottages dotted around.

There are about 3,000 people living in these villages, and more than 1,000 of them are capable of participating in the battle. He named it the ————Manggu Mountain Village Joint Project."

However, although the plan is good, it still needs to be carried out little by little. Among them, winning the power of Nansangzhai is the most crucial.

Because they had already lost their homes due to the fire, and at the same time they were the largest villages, it was feasible to follow their example and even get the help of some of the villagers to persuade other villages to join the alliance and move to the vicinity of the Ming army's Manggushan camp to jointly build a large new village of unity.

·························································

From the old site of Nansang Village, there was silence on the way back to the Ming army camp. Although they won the battle, they also paid a terrible price for the destruction of the village, which is difficult for many villagers to accept.

The closer they got to the camp, the less they spoke, almost in trepidation, as they walked towards their relatives, where they wanted to inform their relatives of the sad news.

Jiang Yugang's mood was quite brisk, but he wasn't worried about what these villagers would do. As soon as the battle was over, he confiscated all the villagers' weapons, and a group of unarmed people needed to weigh carefully before trying to do anything.

Along the way, he and Ah Tian walked at the end of the long line, and they walked slowly in the mountains with a completely different mood from the villagers. During the two months that they were lurking in Mangu Mountain, they were all under high mental pressure, always worried that revealing their identities early might ruin the overall plan and even bring death to themselves.

After all, in Nansangzhai, they did not have hundreds of soldiers in the camp as guards, but a few of them and hundreds of villagers in Nansangzhai who patrolled and stationed here on weekdays with more than a dozen to dozens of Luchuan soldiers as companions, and the identity of the Ming army was still very sensitive under ordinary circumstances.

In Nansang Village, many times only he and Ah Tian were left behind, and the others actually had to frequently travel back and forth between the Ming army's Manggushan camp and several other nearby villages, on the one hand, to transport supplies, and on the other hand, to deliver news.

The reason why Jiang Yufu stayed behind was very simple, as the actual person in charge of Nansangzhai's control plan, he needed to control the overall situation here; Ah Tian is purely for personal reasons, her combat effectiveness is too weak, and she lets her go to and from the mountains and forests by herself, not only Jiang Yu is not at ease, but even she herself does not dare.

"This time I went back to the camp, maybe I won't come out again in a short time, I am scared in the village every day, and I want to breathe a sigh of relief." Ah Tian stretched, then held his head behind him with his hands, paced slowly, and looked up at Jiang Yuyan.

Jiang Yu subconsciously tilted his head slightly, thought about it, and said, "It should be ······ I still have to come out, and go to all the villages near the entire mountain range of Manggu Mountain, one by one, to negotiate, and let them form a union under my management, which will still take some effort———— I am afraid that I will have to go to the scene to arrange affairs in person at that time. ”

"What about me?" Ah Tian's big eyes looked at Jiang Yuyan with some expectation. There is a longing in his eyes that can't tell what the reason is.

Jiang Yuyan looked at Ah Tian's eyes, and his brows couldn't help jumping: "Do you want to follow me out, or do you want to stay in the camp and follow Lu Chong's alchemy academy to do things?" ”

"From now on, there should be more and more people joining the Alchemy Academy———— in these cottages, except for the heads of the families who are still alive after the baptism of the Luchuan Army, almost no one has read books and can read and read, but there are many craftsmen who can be regarded as skillful, after all, the bamboo utensils here are basically made by the villagers themselves." Jiang Yugang began to analyze the situation of the Alchemy Academy, which was probably the place that benefited the most from the annexation of the village.

In the vicinity of Manggu Mountain, because of the limitations of the terrain, many villagers could not rely on agriculture alone to make a living, and the proportion of hunters and craftsmen increased in the more backward villages, and they relied on the trade route from Ahommu to Luchuan to Ava, Myanmar to obtain their living needs, and also practiced good crafts, almost after a short period of training, they can engage in some simple crafts.

The original Ming army naturally didn't need so many craftsmen, but because of the new firecrackers brought by Jiang Yugang, the new craftsmanship of fixed ammunition and bird guns, the demand for craftsmen skyrocketed instantly, even if many craftsmen came from the command of Meng Yangcheng, they still couldn't meet the demand.

And because the production process of the bird gun and fixed ammunition is too complicated, many novices can't afford a complete production part, so after Lu Chong communicated with Jiang Yugang, the production process was further fragmented, and almost every few small production steps were merged into a production unit, and the novice craftsmen were only responsible for one of the production units.

In this way, the difficulty of production is reduced, and the actual production efficiency is improved, but also creates a large demand for craftsmen, which is actually a small workshop towards the development process of labor-intensive production, but Jiang Yugang has not yet introduced the technology of steam engines, and cannot begin to realize real industrial production.

"That... I follow Lu Chong? Ah Tian lowered his head and muttered for a while, suddenly raised his head like a small animal, and looked at Jiang Yu's eyes timidly.
