Chapter 12: Everybody's Busy

After the successful firing of the green bricks, the original purpose of the cottage was also realized.

Under the guidance of Tang Xidong, the teenagers had mastered the skills of the panhuo kang, so Tang Xidong handed over the task of panhuo kang to the teenagers, divided into two groups, and began to pan the fire kang for each household in the order of east and west.

Every day, the brick kiln is opened, and the bricks and stones are piled up in the small square in front of the kiln entrance, which is already full.

The coal kiln has basically been put into operation, and every day there is a carload of black coal pulled out of the kiln, and the coal and stone dug out of the coal kiln have also been flattened in the back mountain, piled up into a mountain.

The Shanyang terraced fields have also been reclaimed three times, and five or six hundred villagers have gathered on the bottom terraced fields to work hard.

When the three terraced fields appeared in front of everyone's eyes, most of the cottages understood Tang Xidong's vision, and such a huge project as kiln burning, coal digging, and terraced fields was mobilized by this scholar to mobilize the power of the entire cottage with a fire kang from the beginning. Step by step, interlocking, in a short period of time, opened up.

Although everyone doesn't know what is the use of cultivating so many terraced fields, after all, it is impossible to grow food in dry weather and little rain and cold climate, but after all, there is a large area of land, and in the hearts of these villagers who are still peasants in their bones, having land is like having hope to live.

After all this was put into orbit, Tang Xidong began to think about what to do next.

There was always a pressure on the robbery in his heart, which made Tang Xidong feel that he had taken too big a step and pulled the egg.

The stall is too big, and the manpower is tight.

If you can't draw out manpower, how to pull it out and practice, if you don't practice, according to the previous performance of these people, robbery is a joke, I'm afraid it's going to die.

However, looking at the good momentum of everything in front of him, Tang Xidong secretly comforted himself in his heart, there is still time, let's do these things in front of him first!

After two more days like this, Tang Xidong found that his idea of dragging it out was about to be invalidated.

For the carpenter had brought more than one hundred and twenty crossbow guns, and a basket of short arrows piled up in the yard.

The weapons came out, which was to urge Tang Xidong not to wait any longer.

So, Tang Xidong, who had a decision in his heart, went to Liu Lianqing's courtyard to find the owner of the village.

When Liu Lianqing heard Tang Xidong's intention, her face instantly became happy, and she didn't even say a word, so she went out to gather Qingzhuang.

In this woman's eyes, everything can wait, but only this food robbery can't wait.

It didn't take long for Tang Xidong to be taken to the field.

As far as the eye can see, the young people of the cottage are basically summoned, some people have black faces and look like they have just come out of the coal kiln, and some people are full of dirt pulled from the brick kiln.

These people were just summoned at the behest of orders, but they were at a loss as to what was going on, and they gathered together to discuss and speculate in low voices.

Since you are here, you naturally have to pick people.

The reason why people are picked, first, is that although the cottage is full of villagers who have been forced to go up the mountain, after all, everyone has good and bad, and Tang Xidong wants obedient, courageous, and brainy. The second is that Tang Xidong wants elite soldiers, of course Tang Xidong will not be stupid enough to ask for so many people, and fighting a war is not the more people the better, the more people are chaotic, and it is a taboo for soldiers to have good and bad things.

He only needs to be elite, so he personally went out to pick people, and the method of picking people was very simple, he took out a crossbow gun that he had just made and shot it at the distant wall, and the iron arrow directly smashed the stone skin on the wall, and then shot into a short section.

Then he raised his gun murderously and aimed it at the young man who was standing, looking at the swarthy crossbow gun, coupled with Tang Xidong's cold eyes, the young man reacted differently, Tang Xidong glanced at it, and eliminated some of the cowards.

Then take a closer look, excluding some of the slippery people, the remaining 130 people were left by Tang Xidong to guard the village.

Tang Xidong named these young men who had come to fight to form a garrison team.

Among them, Tang Xidong deliberately left a few dishonest characters at first glance, waiting for the next chicken to be killed to show the monkey, and used it for himself to establish his authority.

"The cottage is facing a shortage of food, out of food, your old father, mother, wife and son will starve to death one after another in a short time, I know that everyone actually wants to be an honest farmer, grow their own one-third of an acre of land, and eat the food they grow after hard work and sweat. But God doesn't open his eyes, the government doesn't care if you live or die, you have no way and no way out, so you will go up the mountain. Tang Xidong looked at the remaining young men and said,

"When you go up the mountain, you have to learn to rob and grab grain, but to be honest, you are very competent as a common man, and being a mountain bandit is a joke, except for giving your life, don't expect to rely on what you rob to get food." Tang Xidong didn't care about the ugliness on Qingzhuang's face, and then said: "Robbery is not a house, those people who are burned to ashes in the back mountain, I'm afraid they have warned you again and again, robbery is a real knife and a real gun, it is a war, it will die, it will bleed, it will lack arms and legs, but think about your wife, children and parents, you have no way out, you have to do it if you don't want to starve to death!" ”

"If you want to fight, you must first have a hard foundation, you can't do it yourself, and if you fight a war, you will die in vain."

"From this day on, all of you present here must obey my commands, obey my drills, eat the food distributed by the cottage, and give your life to the cottage, you must know that you are not for the cottage, but for your parents, wives and children. If someone steals tricks and expects to get by, then I'm sorry, you spit out the food for me, and the people will get out of the cottage for me, and there are more than 1,300 people in the cottage, and they will not entrust their lives to you. ”

coldly warned a group of young people.

Tang Xidong began his career of leading troops in military training, and the time was urgent, and he could not delay for a moment.

Training, as a descendant, is of course in accordance with the training methods of later generations, that is, to train relentlessly, discipline, physical fitness, courage, and the ability to kill the enemy.

Time is pressing, Tang Xidong no longer pursues perfection, as long as he stands still, he doesn't ask how he stands, how do you get used to it, if you dare not listen to the order and do it privately, you will directly kick out the guard team, reduce the rations, just drive away the two dishonest young men who were deliberately left, and scare the others into obeying the next words.

The rations were already small, and if they were reduced, the whole family would not be able to eat enough, and they would threaten the rations, and these young men would naturally become more and more obedient.

After standing in the military posture, followed by a weight-bearing long-distance run in the back mountain, this time Tang Xidong asked the collective team leader to run, divided into twelve teams, not to leave their teammates, if one is left behind, the whole team will kick out.

Run in the last team and kick one person at random.

So, the twelve squads, you chase me, and you have to drag the poor physical strength to persevere, sweating like rain, panting like cattle, but still trying to persevere.

In the end, Tang Xidong kicked out a treacherous person who had been left behind, which once again served as a deterrent.

But in the afternoon, three people were kicked out, so they trembled one by one, only afraid that it would be their turn next.

Fortunately, when the night came, he could finally rest, and in the afternoon, Liu Lianqing discussed with Deng Dahu and sent people out to hunt, and the food of the guard team was full of oil and water, and it was full, which made the people who were about to die taste the sweetness.

I thought they would be able to sleep well at night, but then, they were greeted by painful training.

The people who were divided into four teams took turns to guard the wall, one team guarded the village, and one team stole the village at night, rotating back and forth, and each team could take turns to guard the village and steal the village.

The task given by Tang Xidong is that no matter whether he guards the village or steals the village, as long as he loses once, one person will be proposed in the team tomorrow.

So this night, on the wall, you come and go, some throw claws, some sound east and west, some tired enemy plan, the wisdom of the peasant masses has been brought into full play, how to be effective and how to come.

Originally, Tang Xidong thought that every squad would be kicked out, because it was easy to defend the village, but it was difficult to steal the village.

In the young and strong, a man named Li Shangquan led people, relying on the sound of attacking the east and the west, plus the success of stealing the village with self-made flying claws, and even showing the enemy to weakly lure the snake out of the hole when guarding the village to capture half of the opponent's number, which made Tang Xidong feel pleasantly surprised, but he is a talent who is a wise general.

After a night of shouting and fighting, everyone was exhausted, and taking advantage of the period of dawn, Tang Xidong ordered everyone to go home and rest, gather at the end of the day, and kick out the latecomers.
