Bailisha and Tian Wenju sharply criticized Gao Junshan, and then, after a meeting unanimously approved, the troops were reorganized:

The First Brigade, with General Soldier Cai Zhishan and Deputy General Soldier He Renlong, has jurisdiction over five battalions of 18,000 people;

The second brigade, with Cao Wenzhao as the chief soldier and Bai Wenxuan as the deputy commander-in-chief, has jurisdiction over five battalions of 18,000 people;

The third brigade, the general soldier of the Red Army, the deputy chief soldiers Cao Bianjiao, Ma Jinzhong, and Hui Dengxiang, has jurisdiction over 18 battalions, 35,000 people;

Directly under the battalion, the General Soldier Li Division, under the jurisdiction of the "Zhou Shichen" battalion, "Jiang Guorong" battalion, "Liu Da" battalion, 10,000 people;

The naval battalion, the naval governor Zhou Wenjiang, and the naval superintendent Pan Duao, three hundred people.

The reason for this readjustment of troops was that Gao Junshan had to downsize his troops and reduce the five brigades to three brigades because of the losses of nearly half of the battles in Lushi and Dengzhou.

The main task of the 1st Brigade is to defend the old battalion, so Cai Zhishan must be the commander. The second brigade is the main brigade, and it is natural to hand it over to Cao Wenzhao. The remaining miscellaneous companies are concentrated in the Third Brigade, which is convenient for unified management.

Gao Junshan pulled the team to Tongbai Mountain to recuperate, divided the third brigade into four, Red Army friends, Cao Bianjiao, Ma Jinzhong, and Hui Dengxiang each led a unit, scattered in the mountain pass on the periphery of Tongbai Mountain, and carried out mountain guerrilla warfare with the officials and troops of the Ming court.

During this period of Tongbai, Gao Junshan held a grand wedding for his adopted son Ma Jin, marrying Zhang Ziting, the daughter of Zhang Shaodeng, the commander of Yingcheng County.

Needless to say, the matchmaker is naturally his three wives, especially the eldest lady Han Yuyan, as if she has a fate with Zhang Ziting, as soon as the two meet, they talk a lot, and they can't finish talking, and as soon as they come and go, Han Yuyan takes Zhang Ziting as her goddaughter-in-law.

Marrying Zhang Ziting into the door, the happiest person is Ma Jin, he likes Zhang Ziting, he likes it very much. Marven and Liu Wenxiu were also happy, because they were happy to have such a beautiful sister-in-law.

On the day of the wedding, Zhang Shaodeng and his wife also came to Tongbai Mountain, and they blessed their daughter's beautiful marriage.

When Gao Junshan heard the news, he hurriedly sent Sun Kewang to contact Zhang Xianzhong, agreeing that if there was a major military operation, they would coordinate with each other and jointly fight the enemy.

In the whole summer of Chongzhen's ten years, Gao Junshan was in the Tongbai Mountains, because the summer weather was hot, and there were often heavy rains, which was not conducive to marching and fighting, and the high temperature weather, the soldiers were easy to get sick, so Gao Junshan decided to stay until the autumn was high and cool, and the soldiers were strong and strong, and then went out of the mountains to fight with the officers and soldiers.

During the recuperation stage of Tongbai, Gao Junshan began to be busy with the teaching work of Chongwen Academy, and at the same time paid attention to the progress of Sun Yuanhua's gunpowder research.

Chongwen's disciples have now grown to 800 people, and Gao Junshan has set a school motto for them: "Take the people's livelihood as the foundation of the country, and science and technology as the policy of rejuvenating the country." ”

Two years ago, Gao Junshan sent Chongwen disciples to look for gold in Tongbai Mountain, but that year, the gold mine was not found, only some clues were found, and there was no actual harvest.

This time, Gao Junshan decided to personally lead Chongwen's disciples to go up the mountain to find a gold mine.

As for how to find gold mines, Chongwen's disciples are even better at it than Gao Junshan, because in the "Guanzi Di Shu Chapter", there is a record of how to find mines, "There is Dansha above, and there is gold below; Those who have mercy stones on them have steel and gold below; Those who have mausoleums on them have lead, tin, and red copper below; He who has ochre on top has iron underneath. ”

Of course, when it comes to finding gold mines, it's not that simple. First of all, Gao Junshan asked everyone to bring a basin, dig up samples all the way on the surface of loose debris deposits, and then use the method of panning to check whether there is gold sand in the samples.

It's a very hard job, every 100 steps is a sampling point, whether it is a stream deposited in the water system, or a sedimentary outcrop of the gravel layer on the terrace, or a residual slope layer on the hillside, you must go to collect samples, and then wash them to check for the presence of golden sand.

The first two methods can understand the gold content of the sediments of the water system, the approximate distribution range of sand gold, the grade and thickness of the gold layers in the terraces, and the sampling in the residual slope deposits on the slopes, which are used to find the source of sand gold within the Xiaogou mountain area where there is known to have sand gold.

The reason why it is hard is that the sampling points must be exhaustive, and there can be no omissions, otherwise the data you collect will be biased, and the consequences of this deviation can be described as a thousand miles of error.

Moreover, this kind of carpet sampling is as slow as a snail.

Every time a point is collected, it is necessary to carefully mark it, not only on the spot, but also on the drawing, so as to prevent repetitive labor.

Although there were some clues in the last search work, it would take a long time to narrow down the scope of the gold mine, because there were less than twenty disciples of Gao Junshan who were engaged in this kind of study.

If each person digs 30 pits a day to collect samples, calculated in steps of five feet, the range of samples that 20 people can take in a day is only five acres and three points of land at most.

Of course, it is impractical to ask Gao Junshan to invest more manpower and material resources to find gold mines, and he can only take teaching as the starting point, while instructing his disciples how to find mines, and at the same time looking for them point by point in the vast mountains and wilderness.

Therefore, it is crucial to keep records, even if you don't find gold this time, you can shorten the time to find gold in the future.

At the beginning of July of this year, Zhang Xianzhong also sent a person to contact, this person is called Wang Shangli, and Li Dingguo came with Wang Shangli, he came to find Marven, so as soon as he arrived in Tongbai, he followed Marven's madness.

Wang Shangli brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry to see Gao Junshan, and as soon as he saw Gao Junshan, he respectfully saluted: "Wang Shangli greets the King of Qin!" ”

Gao Junshan saw that it was Wang Shangli, who had drunk with him, so he warmly beckoned him to sit down and talk, and after greetings, Gao Junshan pointed to a pile of gifts and said to Wang Shangli: "They are all their own brothers, General Wang doesn't have to be so polite." ”

Wang Shangli explained: "This is all brought to you by my family's marshal, my marshal said that King Qin is a person he admires, and this gift is not a tribute, just a slight expression." ”

Gao Junshan smiled haughtily: "I accepted the gift, you go back and say thank you to the Eight Kings on my behalf." Also, I have prepared a gift for the Eight Great Kings here, and I will ask Sun Kewang to bring it to you when I go back," Gao Junshan lowered his tone, "I have also prepared one for you." ”

Wang Shangli hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, King Qin!" The last general is a white coat, and there is no gift to return to King Qin, and he also invites King Haihan of Qin. ”

Gao Junshan praised Wang Shangli: "General Wang is dedicated to the public and gallops on the battlefield, and my King Qin admires you very much!" I have prepared a table of banquets for you, General Wang. ”

Wang Shangli said: "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders, and listen to King Qin's arrangement." ”

At the banquet, Wang Shangli looked at a table of delicacies and sighed: "We have never had such a rich banquet in Xiying, and now we are nested in the mountains, sleeping in the open air, it is good to have a full meal, thanks to the feast of King Qin, I will never forget it." ”

Gao Junshan said politely: "It's just a light meal, why don't you worry about the general!" ”

After the guest and host sat down, Gao Junshan asked, "The Eight Kings sent you to contact me, why did you do so?" ”

Wang Shangli replied: "Since our army hid in Yunxiang Mountain, Zuo Liangyu, who was stationed in Yunyang, went into the mountains many times to search and suppress, and my marshal has lost patience and decided to go out of the mountains to fight with him. I was sent to see King Qin this time in the hope of getting King Qin's support. ”

Gao Junshan asked again: "Do the eight kings have a specific plan?" ”

Wang Shangli replied: "This last general is unknown. However, the marshal of my family hopes that King Qin will send troops to attack Zaoyang. ”

Gao Junshan changed the topic and said, "Do you have any news about Cao Cao?" ”

Wang Shangli said: "Back to the King of Qin, Cao Cao is in Lu'an, and there are Zhang Li, Wang Guoning, Chang Guoan, Yang Youxian, and Wang Guangen with him. ”

Gao Junshan asked with concern, "Did the Eight Kings contact them?" ”

Wang Shangli replied: "Of course there is, but Lu'an is far away from us, and far water can't quench the thirst of the near." The marshal of my family repeatedly instructed me to ask King Qin to help. ”

Gao Junshan gave Wang Shangli a reassurance: "We are going to Zaoyang, wait until we find out the situation and then make plans, you go back and tell the Eight Kings that you must not be careless when you fight with Zuo Liangyu." ”

At this time, Han Yuyan, who was accompanying him on the side, spoke: "Master, you invite General Wang to dinner, you can't finish talking, do you want General Wang to eat?" ”

Gao Junshan said with a smile: "Let's talk as much as we can, come, General Wang, pick up the wine glass, let's have a good drink!" ”

Wang Shangli picked up the wine glass with both hands, saluted Gao Junshan, took a sip of wine, and then raised his neck to drink a glass of wine, his face was slightly red, and said: "Fragrant, really fragrant!" There is a chrysanthemum fragrance, which penetrates people's hearts. ”

Han Yuyan said with a smile: "General Wang is a master in wine, and he tasted the mellow aroma of chrysanthemums in the wine, this wine is called chrysanthemum wine, which is made of chrysanthemums and glutinous rice, also called longevity wine, its taste is cool and sweet, and it has the effect of nourishing the liver, brightening the eyes, strengthening the brain, and delaying aging." ”

Wang Shangli praised: "This wine is better than Yaochi jade liquid. ”

Gao Junshan raised his glass again: "Brother, come, let's have another drink!" ”

Han Yuyan said: "You guys drink a few more glasses, remember to eat after drinking, let's eat first!" ”
