"Now you are well fed and clothed, you can straighten up in front of people, your family now has a peaceful life, women and children have smiling faces, such a good day, do you still want the Tartars to be ruined? We went to defend the city with weapons just to keep this rare good day! ”

“...... But they all say that there are many Tartars, and we can't stop ......"

Zhu Da said impassionedly, but someone below hesitated to reply, the atmosphere that had just calmed down was not right, several old family members turned their heads and glared angrily, but Zhu Da was not ready to investigate, in the face of such a catastrophe, there was nothing wrong with the following question.

“...... Once this city can't be defended, everyone will end up with two people, one is dead, and the other is worse than death, do you want to be slaughtered, or do you want to fight him a few Tartars, wait until you get to the bottom of Jiuquan, see your father, mother, wife and children, see your brothers and friends, straighten your waist and say to them, I killed a few Tartars, I died standing up, I am worthy of you......"

Speaking of this, Zhu Da's voice was hoarse, and by the end of the words, he had already broken his voice, whether he said these words to others or to himself, Zhu Da himself couldn't tell.

If you say this to the young Zhuang recruited by this county, then everyone will only be crushed by the arrival of a large number of enemies and the fear of death, but these family members present have experienced great hardships and have a deep hatred against the Mongols, and they have been stimulated to be bloody in training, after Zhu Da finished speaking, the panic and anxiety on the faces of most of the people below disappeared, and some people even changed to a kind of fanaticism.

Seeing that the results were achieved, Zhu Da did not continue to mobilize, and it was too late to say it.

Even if there is no Zhu Da's mobilization methods, the north has its own set of methods in the face of the southern invasion of the Mongol army, and the efficiency cannot be said to be bad.

Not everyone came, some had already started to go up to the city to be on duty, but they brought the roster, and they just had to count according to the roster.

For Zhu Da, arranging the defense of the county is not too complicated errand, the main force of each city wall and city gate garrison is a mixed team of family members and poor people, and then each place has to ensure that the family has control, and after the completely trustworthy caravan guards join in, it is very simple to ensure the advantage and control, of course, in guarding the countryside, the three classes of errand officers are also trustworthy, and the main force is determined, and then it is to match the male Ding of the county to ensure that there is enough manpower in each place, and then there are reserves and rotation shifts, It is necessary to ensure rest, and also to ensure that you can be on top at any time in case of emergency.

After all the manpower shifts are arranged, the plan for the supply of grain and grass will be taken out according to these shifts, but Zhu Da's side only needs to make the people's plan, and Qin Juren's side will improve the follow-up.

“...... If there is any luck, it is that there are enough grain and grass materials in the city, and it is not a problem to last for a few months...... "The reason why this can be so is because the Tatars invaded Datong a few months ago, and Huairen County reported the famine after suffering and asked for relief, begging for a few years of money and grain, no matter what, this year's taxes do not have to be paid, so there are many more materials left in the county than in previous years, and no one would have thought of such cause and effect."

When the sun was about to set, Zhu Da had already taken people to inspect the city, in the end it was in the border town, even the city wall of the small county town was full of regulations, and the horse road behind the battlement of the city was enough for eight people to walk in parallel, and there was not much dilapidated damage, even if it was very perfunctory for more than ten years, there have been people in the county who have been repairing and maintaining.

The family, the messengers, and the young men who were requisitioned had already gone to the city, and what everyone did at this time was to carry supplies, such as the stones used to smash the city under the city, such as the pots and stoves that were added at intervals, and when the boiling water or other boiling liquids were more damaging to the besiegers, bundles of shoddy spears were also transported, and if the enemy really attacked the city, only Zhu Da's strength was the one who dared to go to the city.

"The proprietor, in the eyes of these people, the real reliability is to take a knife and an axe, whoever uses the weapon consumes iron, whose ability is good, in their opinion, you may not have a bad person to consume, it is better to get some knives and axes to wear, you can also calm the hearts of the people." Wang Xiong said with a smile, Zhu Da didn't walk long on the city wall, and Wang Xiong came over.

"The spear at the head of the city can't be used, just use a short spear, the people not only look at the weapon and feel unreliable, but also feel unreliable when they see me without a beard, it is better to be an old man." Zhu Da replied without being salty, Wang Xiong's attitude made him feel very uncomfortable, not to mention that there was no tension in such a scene, the attitude of adults teasing children was even more annoying, but Wang Hu and Wang Xiong were very dedicated to their work, without any slackness, the three Yang family members were still a little unconvinced, but they were obedient after only half an hour when they were sent to them, which is also useful.

Without waiting for Wang Xiong to speak again, Zhu Da looked to the north, the afterglow of the setting sun soaked in the night that was not deep enough, constituting a magnificent canvas, and the rising pillars of smoke and smoke painted an abstract artistic conception on this canvas, which looked spectacular and shocking, and made people linger, but these emotions were only fleeting, thinking about the disaster and death represented by this beautiful scenery, no one would have poetry and leisure.

"Sect Leader Wang, even if your brothers go out of the city now, it's too late, if the Tartars really come, they won't be able to run if they want to, and it's a dead end in this city." Zhu Da simply started a different topic, and his words were not very polite.

Regarding the malice in Zhu Da's words, Wang Xiong just sneered, looked out of the city indifferently and said: "Tartars are barbarians and not fools, such a large group of soldiers and horses will definitely do great things when they go south, and I will not be able to scare me if Huairen is doing this broken county, Dongjia, I have seen a lot of such scenes, and I can't scare me." ”

Zhu Da couldn't help but laugh at these kind of nonsense words, but Wang Xiong's analysis of the movement of the Mongolian cavalry in his words was what really made Zhu Da laugh, although he also had a similar opinion, but an experienced veteran soldier had the same cognition, which made him a little more sure and a lot more relaxed.

Seeing Zhu Da's smile, Wang Xiong patted Zhu Da on the shoulder very indifferently, and said with a smile: "Proprietor, you are still young, this kind of life and death scene is said to be a big deal, but in fact it is not a big deal, you will know after a lot of experience, whether you can survive does not depend on your ability, mainly depends on fate, of course, swords, guns, bows and horses must also be passable, and you must be able to fight and run, so this crying face is also a day, laughing is also a day, if you are smiling, everyone looks at it and has a bottom in their hearts, you have a calm face, everyone also feels hanging." ”

Having said this, Zhu Da stopped, looked at Wang Xiong, who was calm and calm beside him, and said: "Wang Jiaotou has such insight and skills, why do you still want to be a general in the Wang family, are our Ming talents so worthless?" ”

The two people from the Wang family, Wang Hu is an experienced general, but Wang Xiong feels very similar to Master Yuan Biao Yuan to Zhu Da, he knows a lot, and he knows a lot of things, but Zhu Da can also see that Wang Hu and Wang Xiong are not living very well, and now the people who are in high positions at the border are all Yang family brothers, but Wang Hu and Wang Xiong can only defect to him as the head of the coach, whether this is no one available, or do not want to use people.

"Our brother is from the Wang family, and he can't tear off his face and betray it, after the boss is gone, the two masters are dedicated to doing business, and those of us who can only dance knives and guns have become idle eaters, and now the proprietor is willing to take it in, which is already a great luck." Wang Xiong's words seem to be true, but Zhu Da can also hear a little untrue, but it is not bad to be able to say this, and it is already too much to investigate it.

After this chatter just now, Zhu Da's tense mood relaxed a lot, and he looked at the busy people in the city at will, but found that the people he could see were much more relaxed than before, Zhu Da was surprised and woke up, just now he and Wang Xiong were talking and laughing, this kind of calmness and calmness also made the nervous people in the city feel it, as the backbone of the main person in charge are so full of care, it means that there is not so pessimism and despair.

The high places are unobstructed, the cold wind is stronger, and the people on duty in the upper city are not comfortable, not to mention that the people who have been requisitioned are young and strong and do not have too warm clothes, even if the Zhuda cotton shirt is complete, and the cold wind can be felt when the city wall is walked down.

"Sect leader Wang Xiong, please go and talk to my father-in-law, ask him to buy the leather goods of the Li family's caravan, and mobilize the whole city to make some leather robes and jackets to protect these brothers in the city from the cold and wind." Zhu Da asked Wang Xiong to pass the word on his behalf.

Hearing Zhu Da's arrangement, Wang Xiongdeng, who had always been relaxed, was stunned, stared at Zhu Da for a moment before he spoke: "You are really willing to pay the capital, in our Ming army, only the most considerate soldiers around the main general will be treated like this." ”

"Let everyone work hard, you have to be well fed and clothed, otherwise why should you give up this life." Zhu Da replied sincerely.

This answer made Wang Xiong stunned again, then shook his head and smiled, laughed twice before recovering his indifferent appearance, and said indifferently: "Thousands of people want to wear leather goods, and the money to be used is not small, and this is going to go down to the city, you can say it yourself." ”

"Why should I go down to the city, when it comes to this, I will be on duty in the city day and night." Zhu Da replied in a muffled voice.

In just a moment, Wang Xiong was stunned too many times, and he looked at Zhu Da again, it was getting late, and although the distance was very close, it looked very blurry.

"Okay, I'll go over and report it immediately, and if Master Qin has any doubts, he will also send someone over to inquire." Wang Xiong's answer this time was quite serious.

Zhu Da didn't bother too much about Wang Xiong's performance, and now he can't take care of these, everything that should be prepared on the city wall is almost ready, and the family members on duty at the head of the city, the messengers and others all have apprehensive and bored looks, such a wait is very difficult, but compared to the nervousness and fear when they first went to the city during the day, everyone is now much more relaxed after all, the old man Zhu who is not like a mortal is smiling easily, everyone can rest assured, such a capable character is not afraid, presumably the situation is not so difficult.
