Chapter 469: Dong Ping, the Twin Spear General

Zhang San came to the interest, personally led the team to fight, and brought out a regiment of marines led by Shi Wengong, and the Song army on the opposite side saw Zhang San's formation, and a person galloped out of the army, holding two guns in his hand, and shouted: "Listen to the Ryukyu bandit army on the opposite side, I am Dong Ping of Dongping Mansion, quickly order your bandit leader to come and die!" ”

Zhang San sighed that this is really the Water Margin world, the thing of this fighting general really exists, it was Dong Ping who came out of the battle, Zhang San was determined to win this guy, and he was about to fight in person immediately.

On the side, Shi Wen Gong did clench his fists and said: "The last general asks to fight!" ”

Zhang San thought that it was really difficult to rob his subordinates of the credit, Shi Wengong was still very sure of capturing Dong Ping, so Zhang San arranged: "General Shi is here, it is best to capture this person alive." ”

Shi Wengong was not surprised to listen to Zhang San's request, and shouted with a horse and a gun: "Look at me, Shi Wengong came to arrest you!" ”

Dong Ping is also an invincible figure in Dongping Mansion, and he thinks he is a great hero in the world, but unfortunately, this self-esteem is self-belief after all, as soon as he meets a real master, he will be blind at that level.

Shi Wengong was still not challenging to catch him, the two of them ran back and forth for more than a dozen rounds, Shi Wengong was familiar with his level and moves, and hit him on the back with a turn of the wrong gun.

Then Shi Wengong took advantage of the situation to pull him off the horse and clamp him on the back of the horse and run back, Zhang Sanyi saw that he successfully captured Dong Ping, and immediately ordered the troops to march, and the reinforcements of Dongping Mansion on the opposite side lost the main general, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

After hesitating for more than a minute, seeing that Shi Wengong had successfully retreated to the opponent's camp, he knew that he could not get back the main general, and tried to retreat to Dengzhou City, but now he remembered that it seemed a little late to retreat.

Originally, the distance between the two sides was 500 paces, and after a minute of hesitation, the Ryukyu army had already advanced more than 300 paces, and these 5,000 soldiers and horses had lost their commander, and no one wanted to break off without a command.

So they ran and scrambled, and the retreat quickly turned into a rout, but it should be that they ran too fast, except for a few unlucky people who were trampled to death and trampled and injured, they all crossed the moat safely to the range of the bow and arrow of Dengzhou City.

Zhang San didn't want to attack the city at all, and he didn't make preparations in this regard, so naturally he wouldn't take his own soldiers' bows and arrows on the city tower in order to eliminate such a little enemy, so seeing that the enemy was running too fast, Zhang San had to lead his subordinates back to the camp.

In this way, Dong Ping's Water Margin debut, just after performing for half an hour, it came to an end, until he was thrown on the ground and tied up to crush him, he didn't understand how he was defeated.

This so-called one of the five tiger generals of the Ma Army in Liangshan in the future, not to mention the top five in the current Ryukyus, even if it is the top ten and the top twenty, he will not be ranked as a battalion commander now.

Dong Ping is falling into the mood of losing too quickly, I haven't adapted to it, Zhang San doesn't have time to pay attention to him now, and I don't want to pay attention to him so early, now is a good time to plunder the coastal population of Dengzhou, Dong Ping still waits for him to figure it out.

Zhang San was sorting out the gains and losses of this battle in the camp, and everyone felt that having a cavalry was a very important thing, just like today, it was clear that he couldn't catch up after winning the battle, and in the end he only left some weapons and equipment flags or something useless.

Zhang San listened carefully, he also wanted each regiment to be equipped with a cavalry battalion, and even each battalion to be equipped with a cavalry company, but without this condition, the horses accumulated through hard work in the past few years are really a drop in the bucket for the formation of an army.

In the past three or four years, Zhang San has obtained more than 8,000 horses through various channels, which looks like a lot, but there are more places to use horses! Each battalion should have 50 horses for reconnaissance and information transmission, and at least 200 horses in the regiment should do the same work.

Then a regiment needs nearly 500 horses, Zhang San now has 12 regiments that are fully equipped with at least 5,000 horses, the cavalry regiment needs 2,500 horses, and the commanders above the battalion commander must be equipped with mounts.

So this point of horses is really not enough to divide it, Zhang San lacked horses to the point that there were three regiments because the horses were not complete, and they had not fought in the Ryukyus, and the officials of the entire Ryukyu Island could only use donkey carts and mule carts to commute to work.

Even those dwarf horses captured from the Wa Kingdom, the logistics troops are like robbing treasures, Zhang San listened to everyone's argument about the lack of horses, and his thoughts drifted to the north This year, Yan Qing has gone deep into the north and began to make friends with various ethnic groups in the grassland, I hope it will improve this year.

Zhang San was listening to everyone's post-war summary, and Zhang Shunlai reported that all the shipyards near Dengzhou had been loaded onto ships, with a total of 120,000 passengers, and that these ships had already departed, but there were still more than 50 empty ships and asked Zhang San what to do.

Zhang San listened that there were still empty boats, so how to do it, and immediately asked Zhang Shun to follow the fishing boat to "invite" some fishermen, and strive to fill the boat, Zhang Shun took the order and left, Zhang San sighed that the shipbuilding in the north is not as good as the south, and there are only relevant personnel in such a big port in Dengzhou.

Among these 120,000 people, there are not only shipbuilders, but also their families, and even more than 10,000 prisoners of Dengzhou sailors, so the people Zhang San really grabbed are only 40,000 or 50,000.

This is also the reason why the Great Song Dynasty investigated the smuggling of Liao in the north more strictly, and Shandong, as the base of Zhang San's next move, naturally will not loot the population on a large scale, but an appropriate reduction in population density can also improve people's quality of life.

Besides, the Zhenwei Island occupied by Zhang San now has only soldiers and slaves, and it urgently needs to be filled and developed by the population, and it is not the same as the southern wasteland, not only the rivers and ditches are well-equipped, but also the land is familiar, and the common people can plant it by simply cleaning it up.

Therefore, the immigrants recruited by Zhang San from the north this time will give priority to filling Zhenwei Island, and strive to make Zhenwei Island a strategic fulcrum for operating Northeast Asia, which is very close to the Wa Kingdom, Goryeo, Jurchen, Great Song and Liao, and the strategic location is good, and it is big enough.

In fact, it only takes four to five days to sail directly from Dengzhou to Zhenwei Island, and the reason why Zhang San took so long last time was to avoid the reconnaissance ships of the Great Song Dynasty in the future, so the first batch of Dengzhou immigrants will land on Zhenwei Island in two more days.

As the most important base in the north, Zhenwa Island naturally needs to build a shipyard, so these workers can just be used there, Zhenwei Island is too close to Wa Kingdom and Goryeo, so only 5,000 stone and below merchant ships are built here, and Zhang San is still a little worried about building warships here.

However, the naval docks here should have the ability to repair large ships, and it is planned to build one dock of 20,000 stones, two docks of 10,000 stones, four docks of 5,000 stones, and only three docks of 2,000 stones. When it really comes to need, it can be repaired by merchant ships.

As for why the 5,000-stone merchant ship Wu Ye wanted to build a separate naval base, this should be considered for the next generation of warships, and the next generation of artillery warships, after a period of argumentation, it was decided to use three models: 5,000 stones, 10,000 stones, and 20,000 stones.

Now as the ship branch is getting bigger and bigger, the concept of stone is gradually insufficient, Zhang San finally put forward the concept of tonnage, but this ton is slightly different from that of Europe, and it is converted to the city jin of the Great Song Dynasty.
