Chapter 120: The war enters the counteroffensive phase
readx; It can be said that even if all the cities outside the defense line are lost, as long as these three points are still in the hands of the Han army, the Han army can make a comeback, but if these three strongholds are captured, then the Han army will become rootless and can only wait to die.

Dongxiang County was the administrative center of the Han army, especially at this extraordinary time, when almost all the bureaucratic gentry and ordinary people of Kuizhou and Suiding were transferred here. For a time, the population of Dongxiang County increased dramatically to several million.
As a result, the commodity economic market in Dongxiang County has reached an unprecedented prosperity. However, this also increased the pressure on public security and management in Dongxiang County, but fortunately, the Shang Dao Xing, which was in charge of the military and administrative affairs of the Han family, managed it to a certain extent, and through the implementation of employing a large number of people to build fortifications to offset the population pressure, and the transferred people were registered and distributed to live in each town according to their place of origin, and each town was the people of a county, and the county magistrate was responsible for mediating the contradictions between these transferred people and the local people, and managing the livelihood and safety of the people in the county, so that Dongxiang County has been in a stable state.
Hanjia Village is an important material hoarding base of the Han Army, and it is a semi-military management, the entire Hanjia Village except for the original inhabitants of only a thousand people, almost all of the soldiers of the Han Army are stationed here, and it is also the east gate of Dongxiang County. And since the occupation of Dongxiang County, even Yang Ming can not fully know how much grain has been hoarded in Hanjia Village, in short, every month, this Hanjia Village will add dozens of warehouses, even if there are millions of people consumed every day, it will not affect the grain storage capacity of Hanjia Village, this is naturally due to the fact that Zhang Youcai has been given by Hukedu, and now Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou, Guangxi and other places have his grain purchase points and resale points.
Zhangjiachang is the industrial incubation base of the Han army, and although the Han armory institute that undertakes the industrial base of the entire Han army is not as large as the Anqing ordnance institute opened by Zeng Guofan during the Westernization Movement, it is undoubtedly the most fundamental weapon for the survival of the entire Han army as the only factory that can produce standard flintlock pistols and gunpowder in large quantities in today's era. Therefore, Zhangjiachang is the place where the Han army has the strictest management, even the cabinet scholars have no right to enter here, and it has always been a military forbidden area.
The defense line composed of these three key points can be said to be the lifeline of Yang Ming and the Han army, and it must not be lost, and the cabinet scholar Shang Daoxing, who is responsible for building the fortifications in this area, naturally knows the importance of this, he returned to Dongxiang County before Yang Ming, but he has not returned home for a day, almost every day and night on the construction site and discussed with the people in charge of all aspects how to strengthen the defense line, in order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, he even ate and slept with these people, The once corrupt Ming official has now completely changed and has completely become a competent official with all his heart, which has to make people think deeply.
Of course, Shang Daoxing, as a cabinet bachelor, doesn't seem to need him to be too active in engineering, and he doesn't have to be too tired, because Ge Qizuo is an engineering bachelor and Luo Fengjie is also a military officer.
In order to publicize and mobilize the people to actively contribute to the resistance to the brutal officials and soldiers, he would go to various villages every day to give speeches, sometimes he didn't even care about eating and ran to another place to do propaganda, and even sometimes he was secretly killed by the gentry with a bright heart, and he had encountered several dangers.
In the grass creation period of any dynasty or the beginning of the dynasty, the rule of officials will be relatively clear, which may be related to the need and selection of practical officials at this time, and now the Han army is also like this, the Han army officials represented by Shang Daoxing and Lu Lang are all because of their strong practical ability, so that the government of Dongxiang County can operate in an orderly manner even in the current enemy.
"There is a layer of reinforcement here, if the left army has a big general's cannon, it may destroy this place", Shang Daoxing wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead while patting the pillbox retaining walls everywhere, and as he was talking, he saw that the people who were carrying stones on the platform had accidentally fallen down because of their slippery feet, and the stones in their hands flew over, and they were about to hit the people who were mixing mud below, so they hurriedly rushed over and pushed the mud to the side, but he fell to the ground with a stagger, and shouted: "Everyone be careful! ”
This scene happened to be seen by Yang Ming, who returned to Dongxiang County, Yang Ming didn't think that this was a show in front of him, because he didn't notify Shang Tao in advance, on the contrary, Yang Ming deliberately concealed Shang Tao Xing, just to see if Shang Tao Xing, who was appointed by himself as the highest government official in Kuizhou, was acting in a solid way in front of the enemy. Seeing this scene, Yang Ming was very relieved, and couldn't help laughing: "I can't imagine that our business scholars are so agile, just don't flash your waist, otherwise who will preside over the construction of these dozens of miles of in-depth defensive positions!" ”
"Childe!" Shang Daoxing saw Yang Ming appear, he was stunned for a moment, and then quickly stood up again, and he didn't care about wiping the mud off his body, so he wiped his forehead with a pair of black rough palms and hurriedly smiled: "I don't know if the prince will come back, and the lower official is not welcome." ”
General Yang Ming waved his hand: "No need, the left army has already made contact with the eighth battalion at this time, and it is estimated that it will attack here soon, how are the preparations here?" ”
"It's over, now it's just one or two forts added to the periphery, a total of three fortifications have been built according to the plan, and the people have also conducted several wartime drills, as long as the left army comes to the door, keep and break his front teeth!"
Shang Daoxing has been dealing with a group of warriors and farmers of the Han army for a long time, and gradually became a little rude in his speech, but his words also revealed his self-confidence, he believed that even if he could not become Zhang Liang, he could become Xiao He, and those who wanted to replace him did not want to take away his position as the first minister of the Han army.
Yang Ming nodded, said a few more words to Shang Daoxing, and walked towards the city. But as soon as he entered the city, he saw the green robe of the Li Ke Du to give the matter, Lu Lang was standing on the stage built with a temporary wooden frame at this time, shouting, and in front of him stood a few people in disheveled clothes, covered with blood stains like refugees, and when Yang Ming approached, he heard it, and the stage shouted: "Fellow villagers, you have all seen it, this is the brutal crime of the left army......
In this regard, Yang Ming just smiled slightly and walked over, now there are all kinds of film and television tools that can let everyone know the leader's face, so even if Yang Ming walks on the street, most of the people in Kuizhou still can't recognize it, although there are many of his loyal admirers, but he still walked sideways in the opposite direction, so as not to be discovered by Lu Lang, but at this moment, he saw a person running over quickly and said to Yang Ming: "Son, the county seat of Kaixian County has fallen this morning, and the left army is rushing here!" ”
"Got it!" Yang Ming replied in a low voice, then turned to Chen Gui and said, "Immediately summon the officers above the county magistrate and the gendarmerie battalion to the county office!" After his death, Yang Ming couldn't help but rub his face and said, "It's time to close the net!" ”
……
At the same time, Lan Guanwei, who had already arrived in Dongyang Town, Yunyang County, with Wang Peng and other soldiers of the third battalion, also learned the news of the loss of Kaixian.
"If Li Guangtian wants to scold, let him scold, no matter how much he scolds, he is not obediently evacuating the county seat of Kaixian, but as soon as the offensive and defensive battle of Kaixian is over, it means that the battle of Kuizhou has reached the second stage, so we must immediately order the generals of each battalion to come to Majiaping to discuss the next step of the net collection operation, and the main force of the left army is basically handed over to the gendarmerie battalion, and our task is to fight with the left army in the gendarmerie battalion and tighten this pocket, and wait for the arrival of the general attack!"
Lan Guanwei only smiled after learning that Li Guangtian, like Cao Laosan, also scolded him before evacuating, and then still issued the next orders as calmly as the wind.
Within two days, the generals and servants of the 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 8th, and 9th battalions had rushed to Majiaping.
The first to arrive was Cao Laosan, a staff general of the third battalion.
As soon as Lan Guanwei saw him coming, he hurriedly smiled and walked over to greet him and said: "Cao Laosan, you fought well in Yunyang County, you annihilated nearly 20,000 enemies in just two days, and your own losses were less than 500 people, and you even dared to attack the Chinese army camp of the left army, which is really commendable!" But Cao Laosan did not hide his anger at Lan Guanwei at all, snorted and stomped his feet with his hands behind his back and walked in, smiling and smiling at the team next to Lan Guanwei: "Oh, Xiao Huo, you kid hasn't grown so tall for a few days!" ”
Seeing that Cao Laosan didn't care about himself, Lan Guanwei just smiled and didn't say anything, but Wang Peng on the side was very dissatisfied with Cao Laosan, and whispered to him: "This Cao Laosan, except for the fierce battle, there is really no place for people to look at, you are also his boss now, he is so arrogant, you can bear it!" ”
"Don't chew your tongue, have you forgotten the military discipline of the Han army, you must not provoke internal contradictions, and the violators will be expelled from the army system, have you forgotten! Cao Laosan is such a temper, don't you know, you have to work with him in the future, you must adapt to his personality as soon as possible, otherwise how can the son rest assured that you will come to the third battalion", Lan Guanwei glared at Wang Peng and reprimanded him in a low voice, Wang Peng had no choice but to keep silent.
One day later, Li Guangtian also rushed over, but this Li Guangtian was even more arrogant than Cao Laosan, as soon as he saw Lan Guanwei, he ran over and grabbed his shirt, and shouted: "The surname Lan, if you don't explain it to Lao Tzu today, Lao Tzu will be killed here, why do you want Lao Tzu's eighth battalion to evacuate, why!" ”
At this time, it happened that Yang Dazhu from the fourth battalion rushed over, and when he saw this, he hurriedly stopped Li Guangtian: "What's going on, my own brother, why did you fight." ”
"You ask him!" Li Guangtian said angrily.
However, Lan Guanwei patted his body slightly, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm joking with Guangtian again, now that everyone is here, let's go in quickly, the war is urgent, if we delay for one more day, the sons and the brothers of the gendarmerie battalion will be in more danger!" ”
