Chapter 103: Arms Expansion
Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain; Those who do not seek the long-term are not enough to seek the present. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Plan ahead!
The benefits of the breach of Jeju were obvious, greatly enhancing the prestige of Yangsan, the morale of the soldiers, obtaining a large amount of supplies, and the "armed anti-tax order" promoted by Yangsan in the surrounding six counties also gained more and more supporters.
The disadvantages of storming Jeju are equally obvious. The large-scale encirclement and suppression of the government is not far off.
In order to deal with the encirclement and suppression of the government, Chao Chong had to start corresponding preparations.
First of all, there was the expansion of the Yangsan military camp.
In order to accommodate the presence of more soldiers, the expansion of the military camp was imperative.
On the basis of the original barracks, the mountains were again excavated and rocks, the low-lying areas were filled, and roads were built. Three thousand captives were the main labor force.
The newly expanded military camp is divided into four parts: a new barracks, a combat barracks, a martial arts training camp, and a prisoner of war camp. It can accommodate nearly 10,000 soldiers to train at the same time.
The second is the construction of private houses.
In the past, there were single thieves on Liangshan, but with more and more people and more and more family members, there are no longer so many people living on the top of the main village of Liangshan. The newly renovated civilian settlements are based on the "Residential Construction Drawings" exchanged by Chao Chong, and after the construction is completed, there are special effects of comfort +5 and stability +5.
Leveling the land, building dwellings, and building a town that can accommodate thousands of people according to the plan.
The third is the construction of a gunpowder workshop.
Chao Chong used the "Black Fire Recipe" exchanged for 500 merit points, of course, it can't be wasted. According to the optimal ratio of nitrate 75, sulfur 10, charcoal 15, make black fire to.
It is not easy to purchase saltpeter, but it can be made of nitrate by soil method, and nitrate is produced from plant ash and manure to boil nitrate, which has already begun to spread in the folk of the Great Song Dynasty.
Sulfur can be procured from Gangnam.
Charcoal can be fired by itself.
I also found some craftsmen who made fireworks and firecrackers from the bottom of the mountain, and the gunpowder workshop was officially opened. It belongs to the Arms Division Tang Long.
Fourth, the construction of cement workshops.
The "cement formula" cost Chao Chong 500 points of merit, and it is also worth the money. There is no technical content in cement firing, and the key is a recipe problem. As long as you know the formula, Da Song can also burn high-quality cement.
Fifth, the construction of wharves.
Golden Beach has a spacious flat land, but because it is too close to the river, there is no barrier, and there is no danger to defend in the event of an enemy attack, so it is not suitable for building a military camp.
But in such a spacious place, it is too wasteful to be idle.
Chao Chong decided to build a wharf on Golden Beach as a transit point for ships, and build some inns on Golden Beach to receive outsiders.
Sixth, it is the construction of naval camps.
With the expansion of the water army, the original narrow water village is no longer suitable. Chao Chong simply built the naval army village outside the golden beach, half of the camp houses on the shore, and half of the naval fleet in the water.
and build a dock next to the naval camp to build and repair ships.
Seventh, the expansion of the medical department.
The medical department is managed by An Daoquan and Qian Yi, and currently has 13 physicians and more than 60 apprentices. However, in the face of the increasingly severe war situation, this medical personnel will definitely not be enough. So Chao Chong sent people to search for doctors and apprentices in various places, even if it was a kidnapping, to expand the number of doctors to 50, and the number of apprentices to 300.
The formula of "Yunnan Baiyao" was also given to the medical department, this top-level hemostatic gold sore medicine, which is more precious and less in quantity, can be used to treat seriously injured people.
Fire should have the effect of quickly stopping bleeding and sterilizing, and the quantity is also large, and each soldier can be equipped with a small packet as a magic weapon for temporary self-help in wartime.
Distilled liquor has the effect of sterilization and anesthesia, and is also included in the ranks of drugs in the medical department.
Yunnan Baiyao, Huoyao, and Baijiu are known as the three magic weapons of the Medical Department.
Eighth, the reorganization of the armed forces.
With the great prestige of conquering the state city, Liangshan recruited brave men in the six surrounding counties, some of whom were in the prime of life who could not eat because of the poverty of their families, some angry young people who were dissatisfied with the society, and some fugitives who were traitors and criminals, who came one after another.
Chao Chong also selected some from the more than 3,000 captives, and there were enough for 4,000 to join the new barracks.
After the initial examination, all the recruits were given a settling-in allowance and then entered the Yangsan recruit camp for training.
The number of people trained in the new barracks exceeded 4,000, and the old coach Zhang felt a little powerless, and after some consideration, Chao Chong arranged the iron rod Luan Tingyu and the former Jeju regimental training envoy Liu Guang into the new barracks as the deputy head coach to share the worries of the old head Zhang.
And Liu Qi and Liu Lin were arranged into Ruan Xiaoer's sailor camp as captains because they were proficient in water.
Luan Tingyu was good at training soldiers in Zhujiazhuang before, and he was also handy when he entered the new barracks this time.
Since Liu Guang's family went up the mountain, they have been eating and drinking for nothing for a while, and they have also felt quite restrained. Chao Chong's decision made Liu Guangguang happy, and Liu Guang, who was unwilling to be ordinary, was very eager to seize this opportunity and make a comeback.
Liu Qi and Liu Lin were indignant, the original young general actually went to be a military commander? The two originally thought that with their own skills, they would have to be the first to mess around, but when they arrived at the sailor camp, they were repaired by Ruan Xiaoer, and they were immediately honest.
After a month of recruit training, these recruits were assigned to the war barracks, and Liangshan's military strength suddenly expanded several times.
Chao Chong also had to readjust the military establishment.

Chao Chong handed over the three-zhang Canglong banner of the original infantry unit to the thunderous Canglong battalion to inherit. The additional effects on the battle banner were also inherited by the Thunder Dragon Battalion.
Canglong Banner was inherited and gone, Yu Baosi was the happiest one, in his mind, he would no longer have to defend the flagpole on the battlefield in the future, he could go up to fight and seize the merits of the battle.
But who would have thought that Chao Chong carried the banner of Liangshan's "for Tianxingdao" to the army, and took the "for Tianxingdao" apricot yellow banner as the new military flag of Liangshan.
"Ding, the main flag in the army has changed, the effect has changed, do you want to continue?"
"Go on!"
"Ding, the flag recording function of each battalion is on. The main flag ability change has been completed. β
Name: For the Heavenly Walking Banner
Level: Lv1

4. Justice (Firmly believe that you are the party of justice.) +2 Battlefield Morale, +2 Battlefield Discipline.)
Chao Chong looked at the banner of "Walking for the Sky" with satisfaction, don't underestimate the bonuses of these points. The average attribute of ordinary people is 10, the average attribute of ordinary soldiers is 15, the average attribute of elite soldiers is 20, and the average attribute of non-commissioned officer level is 30.
Increasing the attribute by 3 points is equivalent to an increase of 30% in the strength of ordinary people, 20% in the strength of ordinary soldiers, and 10% in the strength of non-commissioned officers, which is already a large increase.
Chao Chong prepared for a month on Liangshan, and the time entered November, and finally ushered in the first snow of winter. The water surface of Liangshan Shuibo also began to freeze.
However, the encirclement and suppression of the officers and soldiers still did not come.
The time in charge of intelligence came again, and the intelligence of Jingxi Road was reported to Chao Chong.
"My lord, the approval of Jeju Governor Jiang Tianyue has come down from Tokyo. Not only was there no punishment, but a reward was given! β
Shi Qian reported with all his heart.
"Oh, I didn't expect that, how did he do it?"
Chao Chong asked with some curiosity.
"After our army withdrew from Jeju Prefecture, Jiang Tianyue set fire to the granary, treasury, and cane warehouse. Then he claimed that it was me who did it, and he also claimed that after a day of fighting, he finally defeated our army and defended Jeju City. β
"Oh? What does he mean by that? β
"My lord, our army is in a hurry, and the money and grain in the granary and the treasury have not been delivered cleanly, especially in the granary, there are still tens of thousands of stone grain. Jiang Tianyue resold all the grain in it privately. But it was claimed to be burned by our army. β
"Hmph, I didn't expect that when this person was corrupt, he was quite bold!"
And he also forcibly apportioned to the wealthy in the city, saying that it was to recruit soldiers to guard the city. Before and after, he raised a total of 50,000 guan, transported all the money to Tokyo, and bribed Cai Jing. β
"Jiang Tianyue is Cai Jing's protΓ©gΓ©, and he also recommended him to come to Jeju to take office, so it is not surprising to protect him."
"The Lord God counts! Yushi's impeachment of Jiang Tianyue for the fall of the city was seized by Cai Jing, and the report was delayed. However, Cai Jing took advantage of this time difference to first make a clever remark in front of the officials, and said that Jiang Tianyue's sin of losing the city was a great achievement in regaining the city! Therefore, the official family not only did not punish him, but also gave him a reward! β
"Hehe, this calligraphy and painting emperor is so unclear in rewards and punishments, no wonder the officials below are corrupt and corrupt!"
"The former Jeju regimental training made Liu Guang bear all the charges and has been ordered by the government to be wanted nationwide."
"Expected. So what happened to He Tao? β
"The person who escorted 50,000 yuan to bribe Cai Jing on this trip was He Tao, and when he came back from Tokyo, He Tao was introduced by Jiang Tianyue as a confidant!"
"Well, this person has always been shameless. Be careful to tap often. Don't let his tail go up to the sky. β
"My subordinates understand!"
"Has the imperial court decided on a plan to encircle and suppress my Liangshan?"
"Because Jiang Tianyue's sin was suppressed by Cai Jing, my Liangshan was not taken seriously by the officials, so there was no plan to mobilize the central forbidden army to encircle and suppress it. It's just that Cai Jing urged Yun Tianbiao, the chief of soldiers and horses on Jingdong West Road, and Qin Ming, the commander of soldiers and horses on East Jingdong Road, so that they could work together to suppress my Liangshan. Because Yun Tianbiao and Qin Ming do not agree, the two have not yet reached an agreement. Therefore, the dispatch of troops was delayed. β
Chao Chong pondered for a while, and said: "Yun Tianbiao has 2 generals and horses of the local forbidden army, a total of more than 6,000 people, stationed in the camp of Jingyang Town, Yanggu County; Qin Ming also had 4 generals and horses of the local forbidden army, totaling more than 10,000 people, stationed in Qingzhou Mansion. If they attack one in the west and one in the east, the strength of our army will be several times that of our army, and the weapons and equipment will be even better, which is indeed a headache. β
Shi Qian comforted: "Don't worry, my lord, Yun Tianbiao and Qin Ming are both arrogant people, and no one will obey anyone." It is said that my Liangshan is under the jurisdiction of Yun Tianbiao, but he does not have enough troops; Qin Ming is a general with foreign support, but he has many generals. Who is the main and who is the auxiliary, the two have not reached an agreement, which has been delayed so far. If there is heavy snow today, ice and snow will block the water, and if they want to attack our Liangshan, they can only wait until the beginning of spring next year! β
Chao Chong nodded, officers and soldiers did not dare to cross the ice more than fifty miles long to fight, so the encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army may really have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, after the ice and snow melt.
With these months of training, at the beginning of spring next year, Chao Chong may not be able to resist the attack of 16,000 forbidden troops!
Chao Chong said: "Don't be careless, continue to spy on their intelligence, and report any troubles immediately!" β
The time should be to hide in the shadows again and quietly escape.
Time passed in a hurry, entering the month of Layue, the encirclement and suppression of the forbidden army was still coming, and Chao Chong could already be sure that the forbidden army would not come. I was ready for the Spring Festival.
The lord of the cottage, Chao Gai, the king of Tota, sent someone to call Chao Chong to the Juyi Hall.
Chao Gai is not a person who likes to manage things, since Chao Chong has determined the responsibilities of the six departments, Chao Chong is in charge of the military, Wu Yong is in charge of civil affairs, Zhu Gui is in charge of business, Du Qian is in charge of work, Uncle Cai is in charge of finance, and Gongsun Sheng is in charge of diplomacy. Everything went smoothly, and Chao Gai only needed to listen to their reports comfortably.
Especially with Chao Chong's several major battles, Liangshan has money, food, and people, the people's hearts are stable, the army is belligerent, and the color of prosperity is thriving, Chao Gai is very pleased.
After his life was settled, Chao Gai remembered his wife, Wang. In May, because he was worried that things would change, Chao Gai sent his wife to his mother's house in Yingtianfu, Nanjing. Now that Liangshan has settled down, he wants to take his wife back for the New Year.
And his old father-in-law has passed his 60th birthday on the 15th of the month, so he has to express something.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Chao Gai specially prepared a thousand-year-old ginseng, several treasure knives, and some treasures, so that Chao Chong could go to Yingtianfu.
When Chao Chong heard Chao Gai's words, he was a little speechless, and said, "Father, why don't you go by yourself?" It's your responsibility to bring your mother back? β
Chao Gai's old face darkened, and he said: "Bastard, for my father and the lord of a village, things are busy, where can I get out!" β
"Isn't it, I can see that you are very laid-back every day?"
"That's when you came, just in time to work for your father, and want to rest for a while! Well, without further ado, it's decided! You'll leave tomorrow, and I'll have everything ready for you. β
"Something? What is it? β
Chao Chong said a little strangely, just to bring his mother back, what else do you have to bring.
Chao Gai's eyes flashed and said, "Your grandfather will celebrate his seventieth birthday on the fifteenth of this month, and I will prepare a birthday gift." β
"Then you should go, father! What a chance to connect with each other....."
"Fart, your grandfather's temper is worse than mine! If you go, you can't scold me to death......"
Chao Gai, who felt speechless, looked embarrassed, and said, "Okay, it's decided, you go down, I'm tired for my father for a day, and I'm going to rest." β
Chao Chong shrugged his shoulders and knew that nothing was good. But I haven't seen my mother for six months, and I really miss it, so let's go.
The Great Song Dynasty has four capitals, Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion; Xijing Henan Province; Beijing Daimyo Mansion; Nanjing Yingtianfu.
Yingtianfu is more than 400 miles away from Liangshan, and it takes five or six days to ride a horse. Now that we have entered the wax moon, we must hurry up.
The next day, after everything was explained clearly, Chao Chong took Li Kui, Bao Xu, Zhou Tong, Yu Baosi, and Liu Huiniang, riding horses and carrying some gifts to Ying Tianfu.
