It's rare that this saving warden thinks of many ways to make all the people on the construction site do more and take more. It is those masters who have the most wages and the best treatment, but the premise is that the construction period is fast and the quality is also subject to assessment.

On this day, Chen De, Li Tiansheng and others were already patrolling the construction site, shouting incessantly, not only urging the apprentices and craftsmen not to stop their work, but also paying great attention to the quality and progress of the project.

The same is true for the blacksmith shop, as soon as dawn there are more than a dozen blacksmiths who began to build weapons and iron helmets, Shen Yong, the blacksmith and craftsman, got up early, and it is estimated that breakfast may not have to be eaten to urge everyone to build seriously, twenty apprentices have begun to drill the pipe, they are all ingenious offspring, even so, when he first started drilling the pipe, there were many mistakes, Liang Shifa passed by, and heard Shen Yong shouting at an apprentice who drilled the pipe crookedly.

Drill the crooked pipe, of course, you have to go back to the furnace and rebuild.

The whole blacksmith shop here, in addition to the furnace boring, iron felt, large and small iron mallets, coal, furnace and other utensils, there are no other tools, a large number of tools are placed on display, Liang Shifa knows that Min Yuanqi wants to send someone to the south to buy a boring machine or drilling machine, but the future is uncertain, and he doesn't know how to do it, so he can only give up.

Liang Shifa had considered this matter, but for the time being, the apprentice had not yet learned Shen Yong's skills, and there were many people but insufficient technical ability, and the need for the required tools was not so urgent. If you really want to go south, it is best to take a boat from Huai'an to Yangzhou, cross the river from Yangzhou Guazhou, and go to Shuiximen to take a sea boat from Liujiagang to the sea. Liujiagang is gradually silted up by the river, the situation is not as good as before, but it is still the closest port from Nanjing that can go to sea, and there are the most seagoing ships and boatmen, and there are still quite a few seagoing ships to load goods from Liujiagang.

After arriving at sea, we went all the way south to Guangdong.

Liang Shifa's itinerary after that is not very clear, even if the current route is still when he was a big guy in the trading house, he listened to the information that the maritime merchants drank and boasted about, and he was not sure whether it was true or false, of course he did not dare to bring it up to Min Yuanqi.

Even the situation in front of him made Liang Shifa feel extremely excited.

Everything is in order, those who are buoyant and panicked when they hear the alarm have left, and those who remain are those who are determined to live and die with the entire hundred households.

Even Liang Shifa himself and his team members are like this, thinking back to their lives a few months ago, they shudder to think about it. If Liang Shifa is asked to return to his previous life, I am afraid that it is really better to live than to die.

The kind of life where you have to go north to serve, work as a cow and a horse for ten months, grind your back, be despised and despised by others, work extremely hard along the way, and even at least a few of the hundred troops will die on the way, who wants to go back?

Min Yuanqi has already said in advance, even if Caoyun is restored, he will pay money to help everyone be exempted, and then the flag army of the 300th household will no longer have to go north to endure hardships, this alone is enough to make all the banner soldiers in the hundred households grateful to Dade, and willing to fight with their lives.

When they approached the barracks area, there were no loud slogans that they were used to in, but the banner soldiers had already gotten up, just as the sentry said, and the neatly dressed flag soldiers were already sitting in the camp, and the atmosphere in the camp was solemn.

When Liang Shifa entered the camp, the officers on duty on the garrison were all excited, but they still asked for the password according to the regulations before sending Liang Shifa in.

When Liang Shifa walked inside, Min Yuanqi and others had already seen him, and everyone walked out of the signing room, Liang Shifa saw Min Yuanqi striding over, and somehow his heart was hot, so he hurriedly bowed first.

"Shifa is exempt." Min Yuanqi strode up to meet him, pulled up Liang Shifa with his arm, and after taking a look, Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "It seems that you have been crawling in the mud of the beach for half the night, right?" It's really hard, after this incident, you can rest for a few days and spend more time with your wife and children. ”

Liang Shifa's eyes were hot, and a sour feeling made him almost cry.

After lying on my stomach in the mud and not daring to move, and crawling around again, I was not without all kinds of negative emotions of nervousness, fear, fear, and even resentment.

After returning to the village, seeing the various scenes in front of him was already worth it, and after hearing what Min Yuanqi said, Liang Shifa felt that last night's hard work and adventure were worth it no matter what.

Min Yuanqi did not deliberately win over, said some vain words, rested for a few days, and accompanied his family, such a Shangguan made people feel that they sincerely cared for their subordinates, and they felt quite humane.

"Yesterday after noon, we found that the three bandits were returning from the direction of the city, as well as from the vicinity of our 300th household. They all didn't look good, and we discussed it at the time, and it was estimated that there was no way to enter our hundred households, and they couldn't find anything useful around, and they were worried that they would be punished after they went back......"

"We divided into three groups, staring at people from the front, side, and back, but fortunately they didn't expect anyone to be staring at them, and we didn't get too close to them, just in case those few people noticed it. Later, when I came to a deserted village more than 20 miles south of the ditch, these three people entered from the periphery of the village entrance in turn, and we followed carefully, and finally found that the bandit brigade was ......"

Liang Shifa did not exaggerate the hardships and dangers of himself and others too much, but with his narration, Min Yuanzhong and others also looked at this formerly inconspicuous partner with respectful eyes.

In a short period of time, this cowardly little flag officer, who was once shrewd, but timid and cowardly, did not dare to cause trouble, and did not dare to fight back when he was beaten in the market town, was able to keep an eye on the bandits, and lay in crouch in the cold mud of the mud of the tidal flats dozens of steps away from more than a thousand bandits and pirates, until the information was confirmed, and then rushed back overnight.

Whether it is courage, courage or perseverance and physical fitness, Liang Shifa is enough to make people feel admired.

In front of Min Yuanqi, Min Yuanzhong, Min Yuanjin, Gao Cuncheng, Yang Zhijin, Han Sen and others all looked at Liang Shifa with admiring eyes, Han Sen has always been clumsy in words, and at this time he couldn't help but say: "Shifa, your skill is worthy of breaking the formation in front of the enemy!" ”

"It's all for adults, for all of us." Liang Shifa said: "Now I have to ask the adults to show me, the bandits are now estimated to be coming to us along the seaside, there are more than 1,000 enemies, and the elite is the three hundred pirates, how should we fight this battle?" ”

"Garrison by the river?"

"My lord, if they want to attack us, we have to cross the river, let's guard by the river, and attack halfway?"

"Or shall we enter the city of Watu and move the people to the city for temporary refuge?"

"Isn't this possible, aren't all these houses, construction sites, and salt ponds destroyed?"

"It's still up to the adults, and the adults can do whatever they say."

Min Yuanqi was surrounded by military attaches who were the first to follow and the most trusted military attachés, and their trust in Min Yuanqi was also unreserved. Some people are timid, want to defend the city in the city of preparation for war, the family sent to the city of a thousand households or also into the city of Tucheng, there are four hundred elite flag soldiers to garrison, more than a thousand bandits and pirates can not fight down without siege equipment, and they are bandits who cannot see the light, Huai'an now has heavy troops stationed, stalemate for a few days these bandits have to retreat.

There are also two things wrong with this, one is that the bandits must destroy the village and destroy the salt pond to vent their hatred, the large amount of silver and material resources spent before, and the original village houses must not be guaranteed, and a large amount of grain is stored, sugang, wrought iron, pig iron, weapons, utensils, all of which will be destroyed by the angry pirates and bandits.

The important thing is that the salt pond, which has spent a lot of manpower and material resources and continuously provided silver money for hundreds of households, is afraid that it will be completely destroyed.

Although as long as the people are still there, everything can be restored, and the pots and jars can be rebuilt, but the price is too heavy, even if the people who are a little cowardly and afraid in their hearts, thinking of the consequences of the destruction of the foundation, their faces are pale, and they avoid war, and they never mention it again.

Min Yuanqi is also nervous in his heart, the last battle of Hefang was a sneak attack, and the opponent was a group of scoundrels who deceived the good, which can be said to be powerless.

This time, there are pirates, bandits, and the flag army that they have trained almost completely according to the new book of discipline, with 400 enemies and 1,000 enemies, is it really the enemy's opponent?

But the more Min Yuanqi was at this time, the more resolute his expression became.

Others can rely on him, and to whom does he go to rely on?

The Min family has done their best to support him, his subordinates completely trust and support him, and the Zhu family, a business ally, has also given full support.

At this time, everything is for the original belief, the so-called protection of the territory and the people is just when the enemy comes, the brave face the difficulties, not afraid of hardships and dangers, even if there is a fear of life, but also to stick to their own choice.

Min Yuanqi also tortured himself, the Qing soldiers soon entered the customs, Li Zicheng retreated all the way, leaving little time for himself, gathering a large number of loyal and brave subordinates, building sea ships, gathering wealth, and transferring to the south at any time, this route spectrum is quite clear.

If you retreat at this time, your foundation will be ruined, and you will lose your hearts and accumulated wealth, how long will it take for you to regain it?

If it accumulates again, and another strong enemy is killed, you have to hide again?

Again and again, he could only be trapped here, and when the Jurchens went south, he would either shave his hair and become a Shunmin of the Qing Dynasty, or he would have to flee in a panic, not knowing which ditch he would die in.

The best result is nothing more than a stop of fleeing for his life, a dilemma of life and death, this is the result he wants?

After crossing once, nothing has changed, and even his own fate has been entrusted to others to control, Min Yuanqi tortured himself again and again, and finally smiled.

Either way, there must be no backing down.

It is impossible to defend the city, and waiting for them to cross the river and fight again is also a pedantic language in the mud book. Most of the things that were shown to the literati were examples of actual combat, but most of them were inadequate, and war was not as simple as writing on bamboo or paper. Those bandits and pirates must have boats along the coast to follow, and when crossing the river, there are a large number of boats to help, and there are only a few boats on their side, how can they go to the half-crossing and attack?

If you want to wait for the bandits on the shore for half a crossing, people are not stupid, they can't just meet the prepared military formation and let people up, and after a few detours, the formation on this side will be in vain, and you have to work hard to reorganize the team, meet the enemy, and set it away, but it will consume the strength of your own side, making the soldiers confused and confused.
