However, Jiang Yu's next sentence made him a little uncomfortable: "Chen Ziyu, you follow An Baitong to Nansangzhai, which will be the first place we control." ”

"Chen Ziyu's medical skills are very important in the process of getting closer to the villagers, An Bai, you have to pay attention to helping him and try to help him reduce difficulties." Jiang Yuyan commanded again.

"Yes, 100 households." The excitement that had just risen for a few minutes was immediately suppressed, and An Bai nodded a little weakly. People who know how to heal are still amazing, he sighed in his heart.

In fact, Jiang Yugang also had the same sigh in his heart, but it was a pity that he had too few people and too bad conditions, and the cost of training a group of doctors was too high.

He didn't have the capital to send two people to treat a wounded, so he could only choose to give him a good time, the reality was so cruel, and the training of doctors could only be put on hold indefinitely.

Therefore, Chen Ziyu, the only one with a medical background, is quite precious, if it weren't for the fact that the literacy rate among the soldiers is too low, Jiang Yufu would not let him be the prime minister of the Ministry of Intelligence.

"Brother Yu, I won't go out to scout too." Ah Tian looked up at Jiang Yuyan with a bitter face.

"Let go of your heart, you don't have to go out, let me stay in the tent." Jiang Yu rubbed the young man's head helplessly.

This delicate and thin young man named Ah Tian was a street child who was adopted by the craftsman of the guard house a few years ago because he was about to starve to death on the post road, and he was also the smartest person Jiang Yugang had seen now.

His intelligence is not that he has a far beyond ordinary thinking in craftsmanship like Lu Chong, but a kind of intelligence in understanding and cognition, and can communicate with Jiang Yuyan, who has undergone modern higher education, almost without barriers—except for the differences between times.

This may prove that he is well-educated in a certain way, and it also makes Jiang Yugang once curious about his life experience. Because a good education in this era may represent an extraordinary birth.

But it's a pity that the kid insisted that he only learned to read and write with a few literate blacksmiths after he came to the guard, and the other blacksmiths didn't know much about it, so his curiosity about Ah Tian's life experience could only be stopped.

Although the young man is smart, his personality is extremely cowardly, and Xu He, the nephew of the old blacksmith Xu Annian, is not very bold, but he will hesitate for a while between retreating or not; Ah Tian was so frightened that he couldn't move every time there was danger, and Jiang Yu couldn't do anything about it.

"Do I still have to learn to draw a map?" Ah Tian asked again: "Brother Lu Chong has also arranged a task for me, he has been doing things very energetically recently, and he also claims to be the head of the Alchemy Academy, saying some nonsense like we are all elders." ”

Jiang Yu couldn't help but support his forehead when he heard this: "You can do less things on the blacksmith's side, just tell Lu Chong that it was my arrangement, after Meng Yangcheng transferred people, the craftsman's manpower should be a lot more, and Lu Chong's pressure will be reduced a lot, so you can focus more on this intelligence department." ”

"As for the Alchemy Academy, it is my newly established institution, not Lu Chong's nonsense," Jiang Yugang explained a little embarrassed, after all, the name of the Alchemy Academy is full of the atmosphere of middle two, but fortunately, the simple people of the Ming Dynasty do not understand what "middle two" is: "I plan to unify the craftsmen and manage the craftsmen through the Alchemy Academy, and no longer treat them as nameless special people who accompany the army." ”

"Is that so?" Ah Tian looked at it clearly: "I'll just say why is the name of this alchemy academy so strange, it turned out that you took it from Brother Yu." ”

"As for the map, you should also learn to draw it, after all, you are also one of the managers of the intelligence department, at least you must know what the intelligence officers do, and in addition, the review of the maps they draw is also handed over to you."

"Okay." Ah Tian nodded in response.

……………………

Jiang Yuyan walked out of the camp tent, and the camp was a lively scene he had never seen before, a group of stiff-faced soldiers, wearing half-new cloth armor, standing outside his camp tent in a daze.

He was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted, this is a supplement from Mengyangcheng, and after waiting for several days, he finally determined the number of soldiers and the equipment they are equipped with, and he doesn't know whether it is fast or slow.

Jiang Yu coughed, and then clapped his hands to attract the attention of these people: "You are the new soldiers of the Manggu Mountain Defense Line, I am Jiang Yugang of the hundred households here, from now on, you will be my soldiers." ”

After hearing Jiang Yu's words, the crowd quickly became agitated.

"Jiang Baihu, I haven't touched a knife in my life, and you and the commander pulled it over for me, isn't this my life?" Someone hid in the crowd and complained.

"Me too, Baihu."

"Spare your life, I'm willing to send the best military rations from Manmo Tusi overnight, I really can't do it in battle."

“………”

The situation in front of him really shocked Jiang Yuyan, he didn't expect this group of people to react so much to the battlefield, and Ah Tian was even more frightened and trembling behind him.

But fortunately, Lu Chong's first bird gun has been successfully built, and this may be the time when it comes in handy for the first time. Jiang Yu turned around and whispered to Ah Tian: "Hurry up and call Lu Chong over, and let him come over with a bird gun to demonstrate—in addition, let those general flags come over with small flags to lead people." ”

"Yes...... It's "Ah Tian was a little unsteady on his feet, and immediately ran away after hearing the command.

"Everyone, although the defense line of Manggu Mountain is not as safe as Mengyang City, but coming here is by no means for you to come to sell your lives, I guarantee that you don't need to take a knife into battle, you just need to use a firearm far behind." Jiang Yu said loudly, squeezing the noisy complaints of these recruits.

"Baihu, we have all seen the firecracker, after firing two shots, the Luchuan army has already rushed to the face, and it will still be a dead word when the time comes." Another voice from the crowd rang out.

Jiang Yu was speechless for a while, he was still thinking about why there were 10,000 people in Mengyang City, but he still couldn't stop the attack of the Luchuan army, so how many people did the Luchuan army send?

It was only now that he realized that he was wrong, it seems that the defenders of the Manggu Mountain defense line are indeed the absolute elite of the commanders, who can kill more than half of them without retreating, and everyone is a warrior who can fight more than one enemy.

And these people in front of them can reflect the general situation of the defenders to the greatest extent, they are cowardly before fighting, they have no will to fight, the victory or defeat has nothing to do with them, and they only have their own safety.

How useful can such a thousand people play? And what is the state of the other soldiers who are not as elite as the defenders of Manggu Mountain? If their morale was high, would these folks be so afraid of the battlefield?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuyan only felt that his scalp was numb. At this point, there is good news and bad news.

The good news is that the strength of the Luchuan army may not be as strong as imagined.

The bad news is that the strength of the defenders of Mengyang City may be very poor.
