Volume 1 The Battle of Luchuan Chapter 52 The Village Union of Manggu Mountain (Part II)
The last question raised by Ah Tian hit the most sensitive question ———— why he knew what was going to happen in the future. Naturally, he couldn't tell her that he was a time-traveler from the future, so he knew what was going to happen now, so he could only try to come up with an acceptable reason.
But fortunately, only Ah Tian was present who expressed a lot of doubts, and everyone else was shocked by the future depicted by Jiang Yugang: the army is in danger at the moment, the war is facing defeat, and he will play the hero who turns the tide and get the supreme reward.
"Baihu, in your opinion, when will this Luchuan army launch an attack on Mengyang City, brothers, so prepare early." Li Zongqi listened to Jiang Yu's words, and his eyes sparkled. He followed Jiang Yugang to win a battle and became the general banner, thinking that this was the end, but according to Jiang Yugang's words, even if he was promoted again, it was not impossible. At that time, if you can become a hundred households, or even a deputy thousand households, and give your children a job, then even if you give up a family business in Yunnan's health center, it will be worth moving your family here.
"Time, I think it will be after the summer, the camp near Jiangtou City is full of food and materials, and the army should not be attacked, and when the food is exhausted in the summer, the army should launch an offensive," Jiang Yugang analyzed: "At that time, the army was caught in a battle with the main force of the Luchuan Army, and it was not allowed to get out and return to Mengyang City in time, which was the best time for the Luchuan Army near Mengyang City to attack." ”
"However, can we really defeat the Luchuan army that attacked Mengyang City? Intelligence collection everywhere reflects that they should be at least 20,000 people, and may reach 50,000 at most," Chen Ziyu looked worried: "Lord Jingyuanbo's march is too urgent, and the places north of Mengyang have not yet been pacified, so they will attack the old nest Jiangtou City of the Si family, and the pressure on Mengyang City is too great. ”
"Naturally, we can't defeat the Luchuan army." Jiang Yu shook his head.
Hearing Jiang Yu's answer so decisively, Chen Ziyu was anxious: "We can't defeat the Luchuan soldiers, so what should we do?" ”
Seeing Chen Ziyu's appearance, Jiang Yu couldn't help but smile and said: "Ziyu, don't think about everything so simply, of course we can't defeat the Luchuan army, but as long as we drag their offensive and hold Mengyang City, until the army finds the opportunity to come back to help." ”
"Although the army can't return in time in the battle of Jiangtou City, it is by no means completely impossible to find a chance to return to help, as long as we delay long enough, and wait for the army to send troops to help, there will be a chance to wipe out these Luchuan troops who sent out to besiege Mengyang, and it will still be a big victory at that time." Jiang Yu patiently explained.
Chen Ziyu is not as clever as Ah Tian, but he is also a highly educated figure under him. As a leader, it is important to cultivate the talents under his command, and whenever there is an opportunity to educate Chen Ziyu, he always does not skimp on patience.
"But we only have more than a hundred people now, can it really make a big difference?" Ah Tian asked.
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yu smiled and pointed at the militiamen present: "With them, there are more than a hundred people." ”
The militiamen in Nansangzhai are now chatting and resting in twos and threes, and some people are looking for something in the ruins of the village, as if they can't accept the fact that their homes have been burned down overnight. In fact, there is another ———— the new reality they are facing, Jiang Yu has become their new master, at this time they have nowhere to go, their families are all in Manggu Mountain, and they only have one way to go to Manggu Mountain.
An Bai had been watching Jiang Yugang communicate with Ah Tian, Chen Ziyu and others just now, and he didn't dare to intervene casually, but at this time, after hearing Jiang Yugang mention adding the militia to his team, he was also interested.
As a senior executive officer of the Ministry of Intelligence, his main task is to contact people in various villages, build good relationships with them, and build trust and affection, for which the Ministry of Intelligence has also paid a lot of costs, including all kinds
Grain, iron tools and even livestock as gifts to open up relationships.
Of course, these practices have also worked well. In fact, the villages were originally in a state of self-sufficiency, and it was difficult for outsiders to enter and establish trade-like relationships. However, in order to resist the Ming army, the Luchuan army exploited the villages on a large scale, basically destroying the original self-sufficiency of the villages near Mengyang, whether it was food or hunting income, it was difficult to survive, and in the face of the state of fleeing, it also gave An Bai the opportunity to sneak into the village with the materials of the Ministry of Intelligence.
They recycle iron tools that the villagers don't need, spices that can't satisfy their hunger, and even bamboo baskets that don't have any effect. For a time, there was also a craze for weaving bamboo baskets and other bamboo products near Manggu Mountain, because these things could be exchanged for food.
And some relatively more valuable things, such as livestock and high-quality forged iron farming tools, are mostly sent to the people in the village as gifts, after all, other villages are not like Nansang Village, because the initial battle to resist the invasion of the Luchuan army led to almost all the casualties of some people in the village.
"I still have important news to report to Baihu here," An Bai found an opportunity and quickly began to tell about his achievements in the past few days: "I have now established ties with the three small villages near Nansangzhai: Baihe Village, Shannanzhai and Muzhai, and if Nansangzhai is willing to join us, we can also include them in our sphere of influence." ”
Jiang Yu said: "In fact, not only can they be included in the sphere of influence, but they can also be moved to the vicinity of our Manggu Mountain camp like Nansang Village and build a bigger village, so that they can join forces to fight against the Luchuan army." ”
"It's still possible that they don't want to." An Bai didn't expect Jiang Yugang's ambition to be so big: "After all, other villages don't have their own homes like Nansangzhai, and they still have a way out." ”
"It's simple, if you don't want to, let them be willing." Jiang Yugang said: "Now there is no one in this Mengyang who can protect them, originally they were bullied by the Luchuan army, and we eliminated the Luchuan army in this area, it is a more powerful force, as long as these villages take the lead, the entire village of Manggu Mountain will not worry about relocating to our power." ”
An Bai's eyes lit up: "In other words, we will take the lead in integrating the entire cottage of Manggu Mountain, and build a larger village with Manggu Mountain as the center." ”
"This will be the union of villages in Manggu Mountain." Jiang Yuyan nodded: "Our starting point is good, joining forces to fight against the Luchuan Army, and at the same time, we can eliminate the alienation and hostility between the original villages and villages, and concentrate our forces." ”
