The dead battalion still had some equipment, and the original weapons and armor were obviously insufficient, so Zhang Xiaowu ordered Hu Sanwan to go to Huang Sheng and ask him to come forward to transfer them. Hu Sanwan searched for a long time before he found the uncle and nephew in Hongyan Tower in the city, and it turned out that these two people were drinking and having fun here.

Although Hu Sanwan was angry in his heart, he was slippery after all, and he was busy asking for orders.

Huang Sheng was drunk, Huang Qi wrote an order on behalf of his uncle, and Hu Sanwan went to the baggage camp to receive a pair of weapons and armor from the dead battalion, and advised: "The baggage camp is ...... Be...... It's our old ...... Old...... Hometown, Ken ...... Willing...... Definitely not for ...... For...... I'm sorry for you. ”

Hu Sanwan almost held his breath when he heard Huang Qi's speech, hurriedly said goodbye, and returned to the city to send the order to Zhang Xiaowu.

After receiving the order, Zhang Xiaowu filled in as follows: The dead soldiers are prepared for six teams in the front and back, left, right, middle and lower, each team has 150 people, and the total number of soldiers is 900. Each pawn is equipped with a pair of leather armor, two sets of thick clothes, two sets of single clothes, two pairs of military boots, a simple knife, a waist knife, a short knife, a bow and arrow, two quivers, fifty arrows, a set of bedding, a water bladder, and a grain bag. As for the military food reserves, Zhang Xiaowu actually asked for 3,000 stones. One stone of grain is 100 kilograms, and 3,000 stones is 300,000 catties, which is enough for 900 people in the dead battalion to eat for a year.

Where is this to ask for supplies from the dead soldiers' battalion, this is to empty the wooden city of military supplies.

Hu Sanwan looked at the request for the 3,000 stone military rations, took a breath of cold air, and said with a bitter face: "Master Xiaozuo, these 3,000 stones...... It's probably too much, usually we only need fifty stone at a time. ”

"Could it be that there is not much military food in Mucheng?" Zhang Xiaowu asked rhetorically, he remembered the hunger in Tucheng, and the biggest reason for the heavy casualties in the later period was that he couldn't eat enough and didn't have the strength, so that he had a sense of fear and urgency about hunger.

Hu Sanwan said: "The military rations in Mucheng are sufficient, and seventy percent of the military rations transferred to the Yashan camp and the Jincheng camp from the rear are hoarded in Mucheng. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said with a smile: "Since there is food, what are you polite about, just move here." ”

Hu Sanwan looked at the list of soldiers' equipment rations again, and was even more surprised to close his mouth, and other generals also surrounded him and shouted that it was impossible. Hu Sanwan asked after a while: "My lord, do you think that weight will be approved?" With such equipment, even the Imperial Forest Army can't do it. ”

"The Guards wear paper armor." Zu Gongmao said with a smile, "Most of them are tall and good-looking children of good families, they don't need to be able to fight, but they want to be mighty, after all, they are the façade of the Son of Heaven." ”

Hu Li sarcastically said: "A group of straw bales guarding the Son of Heaven is in danger of the Son of Heaven." ”

Everyone laughed, Zhang Xiaowu asked Hu Sanwan to ask for it, whether he could come and say something else, it was just a bargain.

Hu Sanwan smiled and led his men to rush to the baggage camp, the baggage camp was Huang Sheng's old team, and when he heard that Huang Sheng needed to form a dead soldier battalion, Wu Gang, the military candidate, really waved his pen: "Do it!" ”

So Hu Sanwan was frightened and surprised, and the soldiers pushed all the heavy ordnance and baggage back to the epidemic village, if it wasn't for borrowing six horse-drawn carriages and about 20 people, he really couldn't pull back these equipment. The sergeants cheered and shouted when they saw this, but Zhang Xiaowu was full of remorse and said: "I hate to write about the war horses and pack horses, and I hate to write more money and food." All the generals laughed, if they wrote about war horses, they were afraid that everything they wanted in front of them would be gone.

After inspecting the surroundings, Zhang Xiaowu decided to expand it, and according to the shape of the Hakka tulou in his memory, the school field was the center, and the dead camp was expanded with a radius of 800 steps. Although the battalion of dead soldiers has not been reorganized and the 900 people are idle, Zhang Xiaowu estimates that they can work together under the oppression of military might.

Zhang Xiaowu took the design drawings into the city to meet Huang Sheng, and learned that Huang Sheng was still eating and drinking in Hongyan Tower, so he couldn't help asking: "He was also in the prostitution hall last time?" ”

"Yes." Hu Sanwan said, "This old thing, it looks like it's going to die, but it's actually living more chic than you." ”

When Zhang Xiaowu saw Huang Sheng, he saw that he was old and strong, and he hugged him left and right and fell drunk on the bed. Zhang Xiaowu had no choice but to hand over the map to Huang Qi, who looked at the circular castle and said suspiciously: "You ...... You...... You earth fort repair...... Ahh......h Ah, how much ...... is needed to build it? Ahh......h Ah, how much silver? ”

Zhang Xiaowuxin said that it was no wonder that Hu Sanwan was reluctant to see this person, and it was also hard to listen to him, but he still carefully introduced: "You don't need much silver, you can eat and drink in the army, and you can use local materials." ”

Huang Qi shook his head and said, "How much is local...... Ahh......h Ah, a lot of sand, that sand...... Sand...... The sand is soft, and it will be ...... when you push it. Ah, that's it...... Ah, just pour. ”

Zhang Xiaowu was a little impressed by Huang Qi, it seems that hearing is false and seeing is believing, although Huang Qi is a stammer, he is actually still a capable person, but maybe because of the stammer, Huang Qi was not promoted. Imagine that the commander is willing to stutter to his subordinates, and in case of an emergency battle, when he reports after scouting the military situation, he shouts: "General, fight...... Beat...... Fight ......" The general gave an order, and the whole army attacked, and Huang Qi finished speaking: "If you can't fight, retreat......"

This thing has to be killed by the whole army.

Zhang Xiaowu had pity for this person, and his stuttering was not considered a disability, but it was as painful as a disability, and he continued to explain: "Lord Huang, if there is really a foreign enemy to kill Mucheng, where can our dead soldier battalion withstand it. This earthen fort is just to resist the cold wind during the winter, and the ring fortification is relatively unlikely to be blown down by the wind. ”

"Oh, the original ...... Ahara...... Ah, I see. Huang Qi quickly figured it out, and couldn't help clapping his hands and stretching out his thumb to show his admiration.

Zhang Xiaowu said: "There are sixteen barracks inside, enough for 2,000 people to spend the winter, I need some money to buy bricks and stones in this barracks, because I designed the barracks in the shape of a cave, please see, the innermost part of the cave is a warm wall, so that even if the winter is cold, we have a warm wall to keep warm, and the soldiers will not be frostbitten and frozen to death." ”

Huang Qi hurriedly asked, "Do you want firewood...... Ahh......h Ah, Chai He? ”

Zhang Xiaowu shook his head and explained: "No, there is a local smoky stone, and we use it for heating." Although the locals were poisoned by the smoke stones when they lit a fire in the house, it was enough to build a small stove outside the house. ”

Huang Qi looked at the drawings, nodded, and asked, "Do you send ...... Ahh......h Ah, invented? ”

Zhang Xiaowu naturally couldn't say that he had watched too many red TV series in northern Shaanxi before crossing over, so he excused himself: "When I was a child, I traveled south and north with my grandfather, and I watched a lot, and I saw someone living in a cave, warm in winter and cool in summer, which was really good, so I had this intention." ”

"Now you're ...... for the time being Ahh......h Ah in charge of the Dead Soldiers' Battalion," Huang Qi's face turned red when he said a word, he was made red by himself, and he continued, "We are raising ...... now Ahh......h Raise military salaries, so, everything is at your own convenience. ”

Zhang Xiaowu said goodbye and immediately fled from the pair of uncles and nephews, these two people are really angry, Huang Sheng's body is probably because of lust as fate dragged down, and although Huang Qi is strong, he can kill others because of his stuttering, no wonder his subordinates are reluctant to contact them.
