Tulingzi.

"Blow the trumpet. Come on. Come on. Zhang Zhen shouted loudly. Then take the lead and rush out. But the soldiers in the back ran up and grabbed their company commander to the death, because by this time, the Huns had already retreated. They are no longer able to fight again. But Zhang Zhen even wanted to attack, they knew that the death of Company Commander Zhang was a great blow to their new company commander, not only these, but the wolf company suffered a lot of losses, and there were only about 30 people left in the whole company, more than half of them were recruits, and the veterans were all injured, and there were really few people who could go to the battlefield again. Maybe not even a finger. With such a large casualty cost, Zhang Zhen was under a lot of pressure.

The Huns retreated. In fact, they saw the arrival of reinforcements from the Republican Army. Zhao Laosan's infantry company quickly felt it. The Huns, feeling unable to come to their rescue, and at the same time forcing a force attack were extremely detrimental to them, and they retreated. When they came, there were more than 5,000 of them, but when they left, there were less than 3,000.

According to the report on the battle log, Zhao Laosan saw that Zhang Blind Company and the two artillery platoons above had killed and wounded more than 2,000 Huns, and this result could not be counted, but they created such a miracle. Zhao Laosan submitted his preliminary opinion of the report.

"Quick. Stop him, stop him. Zhao Laosan shouted loudly. He knew this cultural instructor, and he was still in the company of Zhang Blind who he took with him, but unfortunately, Zhang Blind is no longer there. Although this cultural teacher is a scholar, he is not ambiguous about fighting wars at all, and he is a good material for fighting wars.

"Let them all go down and rest." Zhao Laosan said. The whole battlefield is still quite tragic, such a situation, Zhao Laosan feels very tragic, but the tragic battle has just ended not long ago.

Zhao Laosan knew that a blocking battle was the most ferocious, because it was an establishment and was defeated. They came in time, but in this way, Zhang's blind wolf can be regarded as hurting his muscles and bones. In a relatively short period of time, it is impossible for them to recover. This means that they may not be doing well.

The situation of the war has become very unfavorable.

But they have to endure such a situation for a long time, and this is the series of situations that they should be most engaged in.

Luzhou, the third arsenal, where the initial production of some ammunition began. Assembling flintlock pistols, arquebuses have been completely eliminated.

The workers in the bullet workshop are all women from the neighborhood who receive a bucket of food a day. This is all the rations of their family, and the arsenal will take care of the meal at noon. The food is not bad, the amount of food is enough, and one person can take it back. They were all women from nearby villages, and the land was concentrated. Handed over to a good farmer. Some of the men in the fields just need some. Women came out of the countryside one after another, because they found that they had no jobs, and if they didn't have jobs, would they wait for the money from the Agricultural Bank to distribute food and money? They are all rural people, so naturally they can't be idle.

Fortunately, the appearance of the arsenal allowed them to find a job quickly.

The bullet and shell loading workshop needs a lot of people, and a large number of female workers come in here because they are careful and do a good job. Female workers from all over the country have come here. There were more than 1,200 people, and several people lived in a nearby farming family. Some people who are close can still walk back, and those who can't go back can only live in the factory. The factory has recently been constructing lodging buildings specifically for these workers.

The treatment of the arsenal is still very good. They need to pack 500 rounds of ammunition a day, and if they exceed, they all count the quantity, do more, give more, and many female workers come back to work after eating at noon. Most of these bullets were exported to the front line.

In addition to such work, women are in a nearby garment factory, where they rush to make military shoes. Military uniforms, military bags, etc. There are also bold women, but most of them are widows, and they will become hospital staff, and they will be trained, exploded, dressings, etc., and maybe it won't be long before the wounded soldiers on the front line will come down. They're going to be recuperating here.

This is a woman's job, and in short, a woman's job is still easier to find. Because they work more meticulously. Men mainly dig coal, but also iron ore. What they have is strength. Mining is a dangerous thing, because it has to be blown up with **, and after it is blown up, they will go to dig. They work in small groups. It's hard, but you give a lot and earn a lot. They are all from nearby farming families. Without land, they can do many, many things.

In addition to these, there are also those who have oxen, and those who have strength, they will carry out transportation. Coal and iron ore have to be transported to a nearby arsenal, or through Huguan, to Jizhou, as soon as you leave, it will be a month.

There are many men in the family, some join the army, some enter the military factory to learn technology, and then become industrial workers, they have to process some things, as long as they study hard, they don't have to worry about supporting themselves.

Blacksmiths, carpenters can do it themselves, or they can enter the factory, their work is easier to find, because they have the skills, plus the need for some agricultural tools, and now they are all agricultural companies. Banks also give loans, and they buy agricultural tools in large quantities, and they need a lot of agricultural equipment. They can do it themselves.

Of course. You can also go to the arsenal and take orders to produce some parts for muskets. In short, Luzhou began to get busy.

The capital of Luzhou was temporarily set up in the eldest son. Because of the needs of the war on the front, the people who were in charge were businessmen, and they knew how to mobilize these people to work willingly. They are very busy every day, and they are busy sleeping at their jobs. Anyway, there's a lot going on.

Merchants make the most of their nature. They organized the relatively chaotic Luzhou. Militia organizations have been established in the local area, especially arsenals, and they have a systematic factory militia. They also had to organize military training from time to time, because the southern part of Shangdang County was still in the hands of the officials and soldiers, with Sheep's Head Mountain as the dividing line. The area south of the mountainous area is controlled by the official army. In fact, the eldest son of the capital was under the threat of the official army, so they did not dare to be careless. However, the republican army could not take military action, because once they went south, they could dive down from the Taihang Mountains to attack the capital Luoyang, and the imperial court knew this very well, and they also strengthened the defenses there, but the military force stationed there only increased to 3,000 men, and they were not enough to threaten Luzhou.

That was the greatest reliance of the imperial court, and once the republican army moved there, it would actually threaten the safety of the capital Luoyang. Shang Wu knew this very well, he didn't move, and Luoyang didn't move, the two sides were calm, but the balance of force in private, both sides did not stop, and the main forces of the republican army were transferred to Hedong and the northern theater. The defense of the local area could only be carried out by the militia. For them, the pressure is still relatively high.

But he believes that with the militia, they will be much better.

The particularity of Luzhou determines that their militia training is very high, and it is said that half of the flintlock pistols produced in Luzhou are detained to equip the militia, although they are not yet equipped with bayonets on a large scale. But in some militia companies, the presence of bayonets is nothing new. Those militiamen conscientiously completed military patrols and training tasks, because they knew that in the next conscription, they would be the priority targets, and if they trained and performed well, they would be selected to study at the Lijiazhuang Military School. Coming out is an officer.

Being a soldier, and being an officer, with a rank on your shoulders, is the greatest encouragement for these militiamen.

However, the militia still does not have its own uniforms. Most of them are dressed in the clothes of ordinary people, and they will only receive subsidies when they carry out training and tasks, such as food is managed by the Republican army. I also gave the subsidy. This is also an important reason why many people actively join the army, because the family is honorable. There are also a lot of benefits.

Only the captain of the militia is entitled to a military cap. That kind of mountain hat is very popular with many people. There are also some on the market, which are made by some women themselves. The price is a little expensive, some of them let their own lady, or the old lady make one, although it doesn't look like the same thing, the republican army's military hat is made of blended fabric, thick, some hard, but very graceful, good-looking, special tangible. They make it themselves, the fabric is rough, and it's the same thing.

But this greatly satisfied their vanity, and the only thing they were happy about was that their militia was armed with flintlock muskets, for which many people liked it. Because you don't have to take care of the arquebus. The old weapon, they find it very troublesome when they use it, the new flintlock pistol, lightweight, easy to use. There is no fire yet. This was prepared to deal with the officers and soldiers.

Luoyang, Beijing. Inside the South Palace.

"Hmm. These republican troops can be regarded as embarrassing them. Emperor Ling of Han listened to some of Zhang Rang's reports.

Emperor Ling of Han was also very concerned about the war in Hedong, after all, it was related to the security of the flanks of his 100,000 army, and the practice of the Baibo army and the Huns taking advantage of the chaos to loot made him very annoyed. But he doesn't have a good solution, and these things are not something he can solve.

"Your Majesty, the republican army and the mountain people are inseparable. The little ones think, is it to give them some support? Zhang Rang is worried about the decline in the stocks he buys, and he believes that giving some support on good news can promote the rise.

"Well, I think it's better to forget it. Never mind. Emperor Han Ling said. for he is shy in his pockets, and how to give rewards.
