"This is also ......" Fu Qingming was still a little hesitant, he also knew that He Yusheng never abandoned the wounded soldiers and patients, every injury and illness cost a lot of money to treat, and a few times He Yusheng's coachman disappeared, it cost a lot of money to mobilize a large number of people to search, either to find people, or to find clues...... Two unlucky coachmen got up at night and walked away, and were eaten by wolves, leaving only a few scraps of cloth and shoes, and Yusheng mobilized thousands of people to search along the missing route, and finally determined that the coachman had been killed, and then began the bereavement process...... This incident was widely spread in the grassland, and the herdsmen were amazed that Yusheng's money was as much as flowing water, and it was too stupid to do things, but in the eyes of those who cared about it, it was interpreted as a different taste......

"I know it doesn't make much sense to say the truth." Zhang Ziming sighed and said: "If you have been treated as a slave, it is good to get used to it, but now that I am used to being a person, I really can't lower my waist if I turn my head and become a slave." Moreover, I resolutely followed He Yusheng, and I will not persuade my brother to make his own decisions. ”

After Zhang Ziming finished speaking, he left, and just a few steps later, he saw Fu Qingming chasing after him, and there were a large number of businessmen who came out with him, and only a few people stayed on Zhao and Rong's side.

Fu Qingming's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Ziming, damn it, I'll follow you." ”

Zhang Ziming laughed when he heard this, but suddenly woke up and said with a smile: "Why did my brother come out, it's your own home over there." ”

"The old man doesn't have a good taste...... Fu Qingming said with a smile: "I don't want to stay with him, this old man, he has been a dog for a long time, and he can't speak human words anymore." Besides, I also want to go and ask Yusheng to see what kind of charter they have......"

"Okay, let's go together." Although Zhang Ziming did not hesitate, how could he not be worried? One of the two sons has just become an adult, this time he followed He Yusheng's convoy to the east, the other is still half the eldest son, and his wife, the safety of the family of four is under his decision, and Zhang Ziming is also uneasy in his heart.

After the Han merchants went out, Zhao and Rong were bored, and they also walked out slowly with crutches in their hands.

After all, Zhao and Rong are also old Han businessmen, and there are some small businessmen who have not joined the Chamber of Commerce who are determined to stand by him.

After going out, seeing Fu Qingming, Zhang Ziming and others leaving, Zhao and Rong's wrinkled faces showed a sneer, looking at the backs of Zhang Ziming and others, Zhao and Rong said slowly: "I have eaten salt for a few more years, these descendants are young and vigorous, I don't know how powerful...... When Altan Khan was in his prime, the emperor was frightened and hid in the city and did not dare to come out, but now the Mongols have only stopped for a few years, and a merchant dares to fight against the Great Khan...... Look, that's what it's called, ride a donkey and read a record book, and we'll see......"

……

Sun Jingting knew that the matter was urgent, he really didn't even go home, and even the change of clothes he brought on the road was to ask people to run to the house to pick it up, he was in charge of the Military Orders Division, and he had always been dominated by Kuanren, and only occasionally would he get angry and train people, no matter how high or low the people in the division were, Sun Jingting had to take care of something at home.

"Don't think that this is a trip to the mountains and rivers...... Sun Jingting strode forward, signing a few orders with a hard pen as he walked, and temporarily handed over the military order to his two deputies, and signed a few urgent documents, his face was cold, he looked at those young men and said: "This time the matter is urgent, I will strictly control the people below......

That being said, Sun Jingting's image has always been respectful and close, unlike Zhang Han, everyone is respectful to the gods, it is difficult to have too many friends-like feelings, and Li Shenming is too deep in some cities, so people dare not intersect, and the rest of Li Dongxue of the Military and Political Department is a workaholic, a wooden man who can't laugh at all, Sun Yao of the General Staff Department is cautious, wise and meticulous by nature, in comparison, Sun Jingting is indeed the most affectionate one.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Sun Jingting had already completed all the tasks and selected a dozen attachés, and when he stepped out of the camp gate, a flag cuirassier and three light four-wheeled carts were ready at the camp gate.

"Let's go, let's go."

Sun Jingting saw the Hun family and the two children coming from a distance, he wanted to wait a while and explain a few words in person, but he had to wait for a moment in vain, so he was ruthless at the moment, got into the car directly, stomped his right foot, and shouted: "Let's go!" ”

The three carts set off immediately, the cuirassiers divided into batches to form a queue to escort, there were already many people working in the farmland on the side of the road, and there happened to be workers in the workshop who were working in shifts, and the crowd of the brigade gathered on the side, they thought it was Zhang Han traveling.

By the time the lady of the Sun family arrived, the carriage had already crossed the workshop area to the north, walked along the avenue, and crossed the bridge of the Beihe River, and had already headed further north.

……

"After February, even the grassland is much warmer."

Li Zhiye rode a green horse in front, surrounded by a team of guards, staff officer Li Gui and several young staff officers gathered to discuss the military situation, and his deputy Wang Yiji was left at the station.

Now there are Tiancheng Division, Zhenyu Division, as well as Li Zhiye's Lingqiu Division and Wang Changfu's First Division stationed at the same time.

There are not only four infantry divisions, but also three newly trained cuirassiers of the three banner teams, and the pond horses and beam horses of each department are also supplemented, and if they are used intensively, there are nearly 200 cavalry, which can also be taken out at critical moments.

This meeting was convened by Wang Changfu, Liang Xing's second division and Xinping division were on the bank of the Daqing River, and a large number of people and a small number of soldiers were also building military forts, Yang Sisun led most of the division together with the cavalry on the east road, the eight infantry divisions and the two cavalry divisions were almost all on the grassland, and only Zhang Han's guards and a small number of infantry were left behind in Lizhuang and Tianchengwei Xinping Fort, and the other was the cavalry and baggage recruits trained in the barracks.

In the second year of the Apocalypse, the expansion of the army was slow, only cavalry and baggage, artillery was constantly expanding, there were only these three branches in the new barracks, and only the members of the officer training class were still in the barracks for the infantry.

Nearly 20,000 people have gathered on the banks of the Dahei River, and a large military fort plus more than a dozen military platforms and dozens of dungeons are under construction at the same time.

There is a fort that is about to be built in front of him, the gray building has been repaired about two zhang high, there is a disc table between the lower layer and the upper floor, the first floor is smaller than the first floor, and dozens of people and soldiers are building the third layer on the shelf.

Li Zhiye tightened the reins, took the war horse, and looked at the dungeon with a proud look in his eyes.

The minimum dungeon fort can accommodate more than a dozen people to garrison, at the same time there is a perimeter courtyard wall, the dungeon fort is more than three zhang high, the top floor can also stand a few people, dry manure and firewood and grass can be piled up, after discovering the enemy's situation, it can be ignited on the top floor of the dungeon fort, and the alarm is reported in time.

There will also be a team of guards in the fort, of course, these guards cannot confront the enemy's main force head-on, and when the enemy's main force passes by, they will defend the pier, light wolf smoke to give an alarm, and then the camera will sneak up on the enemy's horses and logistics personnel to harass the enemy's rear.

This kind of dungeon is actually a very good design of military science, a small number of troops can not be attacked, the door of the dungeon can only climb the wall and attack, more than a dozen people are guarded in the fort, can bring great damage to the enemy, there is a low wall on the periphery, the big step is not easy to unfold, if the wall is demolished, the people in the fort can use long-range weapons to attack, bring huge casualties to the enemy.

In the past 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, when the armed forces were strong, each dungeon was a nail, which was enough to make Huma dare not go south at will.

However, if the garrison in the dungeon is an unqualified soldier, who can only cower in it and dare not fight, then the military significance is very limited, at most it only serves as a warning signal.

"Five miles and one pier, from the Dahei River to the periphery of Xinping Fort, it is one hundred and seventy miles, and there are fifty piers."

Li Gui was also proud, he said to his colleagues on the side: "A fort usually has to put two stone grain, dozens of baskets of salt and vegetables, and dig a well, a team of 12 people in the garrison, 600 people in 50 piers, and there must be quite a lot of materials, and then there is the military platform, one every ten miles, each garrison has a flag team, and half a team of cavalry, there must be quite a lot of war horses and horse materials, food and materials should be several times more, and each military platform has 40 people, and there are more than 600 people. The straight-line distance from the Dahei River to Xinping Fort alone required 1,200 defenders, plus nearly 100 horses and cavalry, and the cost of construction was not counted......"

Listening to his words, Li Zhiye also silently calculated in his heart, feeling that this line alone cost astronomical sums.

Fifty piers, seventeen platforms, the construction cost of one pier is at least 1,500 taels, if it is in the mainland, it may be 300 taels of silver, but here is a grassland separated by 170 miles, and all the costs are increased several times.

The construction cost of a military platform is at least 5,000 taels, and a large military fort with a circumference of three miles is at least 50,000 taels.

The proud look on Li Zhiye's face faded, and his face became solemn.

According to the plan, at least 12 military forts, more than 100 military platforms, and more than 500 dungeons should be built.

The construction cost alone will exceed one million!

"How do you come to the daily garrison?" A young attendant's face turned a little pale, as if he was shocked by Li Gui's analysis.

A staff officer said, "Can't you call the soldiers to defend the city?" This time, the baggage battalion has been changed from 3,000 to 5,000 people, and this year it will be filled with four baggage battalions with a total of 20,000 people. ”

Li Guidao: "Do the math, you know, Xiaohei River, Dahei River, Daqing River, Erlong River, Jiufengzhou, Jiuxinghe Imperial Palace, Jining Haizi, Xiashui Haizi, in the future, in the hinterland of Qingcheng and Bansheng, forts will also be built to protect the Han people in Bansheng, at least 20 to 30 military forts, 60 to 80 military platforms, nearly 1,000 fire road piers, such a range is larger than Datong Town, almost to catch up with the two towns of Xuanfu Datong and a small area of Yansui, the old system of the three towns of Yansui in Xuanfu is nearly 400,000 people, and now there are nearly 200,000 soldiers. We now have 8,700 soldiers...... Oh, plus cavalry and artillery, it should be nearly 10,000, such a small number of people, used in such a big place, not like pepper noodles? Even if there are 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers to defend the forts, the number will be enough, and there must still be a considerable number of cavalry to do the maneuver ......."

I feel so tired today, that's all.

I still hope you will support it, thank you very much.
