Zhu Youlang has been lacking in skills these days.

It is necessary to pay attention not only to the prince's apprenticeship and studies, but also to the rice harvest.

As for flintlock imitation, nature cannot be left behind.

Of course, what Zhu Youlang cares about the most is the fortress.

According to Zhu Youlang's will, a small fortress has been built outside the city of Chengdu.

In order to resist the large-scale advance of the Qing army, it is imperative to build a fortress.

It can not only allocate troops reasonably, but also protect large areas outside the city.

Otherwise, when it comes to a big war, it will be a strong wall and a clear wilderness, and it will be the people who suffer.

The core value of the fortress is the linear chain line of defense. Rather than the traditional closed city sticking to the turtle play.

Sooner or later, that kind of pure point defense will be eliminated.

In this case, why didn't Zhu Youlang push the fortress into the field of vision of civil and military officials and generals as soon as possible?

said that Zhu Youlang went to the outskirts of the city surrounded by a group of guards.

Since it was only a demonstration, the location of this fortress was not too particular.

Rao is like this, and the person who accompanies the driver still can't help but be amazed when he sees the fortress.

Li Dingguo was amazed: "This is the fortress in His Majesty's mouth, right?" ”

Li Dingguo is an unborn military wizard who is very sensitive to new things.

He could see at a glance what was so strange about the fortress.

"There are a lot of concave surfaces in this fortress, not as convex as ordinary castle forts."

Looking closer, Li Dingguo sighed: "From this point of view, the besieging side cannot threaten the defenders in the fort at all, but the defenders can shoot the besieging side without any scruples." ”

Zhu Youlang said with his head bowed when he heard this: "It is worthy of being the king of Jin, and he really sees it thoroughly." This is where the best of this fortress comes in. It seems that the castle does not occupy much land, but because of the twists and turns, the usable area is large. ”

Zhu Youlang paused, and stepped into the castle first.

"Your Majesty, the space in this side seems to be a little narrow."

Li Dingguo found that the side road could not even accommodate two people in parallel, was this a little too narrow.

"Because this fortress had to be made in time to show the civil and military officials, the scale was miniaturized. The formal bastion is much larger than that. ”

The Ming Dynasty is not Zhu Youlang's hall, and Zhu Youlang has to convince them if he wants the officials to admit the fortress.

Therefore, it is important that a kind of fort is built as soon as possible.

"I see."

Li Dingguo suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, how much grain can be stored in this fort?"

It was Wen Anzhi who asked the question.

As a civil official, he is obviously more concerned about the issue of grain and grass.

"The size of the fortress is different, and the amount of grain stored is also very different."

Zhu Youlang explained: "But in general, there are only a lot more than ordinary forts, and it is always no problem to last a month." ”

The positioning of the fortress is different from that of the big cities in the Central Plains, and it is closer to the fort.

Generally, the fort often has enough grain for up to half a month, and it needs to be replenished at any time, and the fort can last for a month, which is already very good.

Of course, there are also types of Big Macs in the bastion, such as the city of Geranza.

This kind of is equivalent to the city level.

Even a sailor of Zheng Chenggong's level attacked the city of Gelansha for a long time, and in the end it can be said to have suffered heavy losses.

So there is no point in simply discussing how much food the fortress can hoard. It can only be said that the ability to hoard grain will not become a shortcoming of the fortress.

Continuing to walk inside, Wen Anzhi found some vacant gaps and couldn't help but be curious: "Your Majesty, what are these vacant places for?" ”

Zhu Youlang explained with a smile: "These places are used to set up guns, leaving only room for the muzzle, which can effectively protect the gunner. ”

"Your Majesty is really thoughtful, and the minister is ashamed."

Wen Anzhi praised from the bottom of his heart.

In his opinion, the Son of Heaven has every opportunity to work on state affairs all day long, and he can still find time to care about these trivial things, which is really touching.

In contrast, what reason do these courtiers have not to work hard?

"The main thing you need to build a fortress is stone. Whether it is Sichuan or Yunnan, the most important thing is stone. ”

Zhu Youlang said eloquently: "So there is no need to worry too much about the cost. ”

Zhu Youlang knew what Wen Anzhi was worried about, and said first.

"That's the best way to do it."

"I plan to build a number of these fortresses to defend against the Eastern Captives."

Zhu Youlang said loudly.

Zhu Youlang still has a clear understanding of the strength of the two sides.

At present, the Ming army is on the defensive and needs to constantly accumulate strength.

It will take long enough for a full-scale counteroffensive.

"I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money to build the fortress in full."

Wen Anzhi still felt a little painful.

Now that the Ming family has a thin background, it is no longer the time to toss casually.

If there is no effect after these forts are repaired, the money will be wasted, and the impact will be huge.

"Don't worry, I've already ordered someone to investigate. This kind of fortress is very useful in Tessie, and it will never waste a penny. ”

Hearing this, Wen Anzhi felt a little more relieved.

As long as it wasn't made up on a whim by His Majesty.

Just look at that batch of new Tessie firearms, it is very easy to use!

These Tessile bastions must be similar, right?

"In contrast, I am more concerned about this autumn's harvest, which is related to whether the soldiers can eat enough."

"Your Majesty is kind."

Li Dingguo slapped a sycophant.

Zhu Youlang sighed in his heart that it would be good if there was hybrid rice, then even the two provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan could grow rice that rivaled the world.

Now you can only count on corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes.

"By the way, can I find the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes I said?"

Zhu Youlang clearly remembered that these coarse grains were introduced at the end of the Ming Dynasty, but now they are just not popular.

Zhu Youlang can take advantage of this time difference to make a fuss.

"After Your Majesty told me about this, I ordered someone to look for it. Only the potatoes in His Majesty's mouth were found. ”

The word potato is actually a foreign word, and there is no such term in the late Ming Dynasty.

Of course, after Zhu Youlang became popular, the ministers all accepted this title.

Zhu Youlang was overjoyed when he heard this: "Where is this potato?" Why didn't you tell me sooner? ”

Wen Anzhi said with a bitter face: "The minister is afraid that this potato will not be planted to make His Majesty happy, so he will let people try to plant it first, and then inform His Majesty when it is successful." ”

Zhu Youlang suppressed the ecstasy in his heart and said in a deep voice: "Take me to see it." ”

At this point, he had no intention of inspecting the fortress again.

Food is the life of the people, and it is more important than anything else to have enough to eat.

If you can't eat enough, what can you talk about fighting against the East and recovering the world, and what else can you talk about recovering mountains and rivers?

Taking a step back, potatoes, a high-yield crop, can perfectly solve the problem that the territory of the Ming army is not as large as that of the Qing army.

The land is not enough to produce it, and the appearance of this potato is really life-saving!
