Chapter Forty-Seven: Aishan Ranch

The wind blew the cold and the ground froze, and people who had gone to various places came back one after another, and the first thing they did when they went home was to come to Zhang's house to report their accounts. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The money I made this time is too much, although most of the money is bought into grain and stored locally according to the plan, but the rest of the money is also very large, and I always feel scared when I carry it with me!

If you have money in your hand, you will naturally buy some things you like and bring them back. With different personalities and hobbies, the things he buys are naturally different, so Zhang Taiji received many different gifts.

Mr. Han gave the children some clothes and accessories; Zhang Baili brought back some books; Zhang Baiwei gave Zhang Taiji a delicate hand crossbow, which could penetrate a finger-thick wooden board within three steps.

Han Buxin bought a few military books and war strategies, invited Zhang Taiji to have time to study together, and he also bought back sixteen teenagers, according to him, he bought them back because he saw that these teenagers were pitiful.

Zhang Taiji looked at these people, their movements and standing were quite orderly, and they were obviously specially trained, so he guessed that Han Buxin might have used them to experiment with the formation in the military book.

Yuan Fang bought things, hidden, hiding, embarrassed to let everyone see, and later asked the housekeeper who accompanied him to find out that he actually bought a few beautiful little girls back.

Yuan Fang was only fifteen years old after the New Year, so he blatantly bought a woman, and he still bought several at once! Zhang Taiji couldn't help but guess, could it be that the people of the Yuan Dynasty were sexually mature earlier?

Questioned and ridiculed by everyone, although Yuan Fang can speak well, he can't explain it clearly even if he is full of mouth!

Later, he was really forced to have no choice, so he could only drag Han Buxin into the water and ask everyone: "Why can Han Buxin bring people back, but I can't?!" ”

When no one was around, Yuan Fang secretly told Zhang Taiji that the reason why he bought these girls was inspired by Zhang Taiji, Zhang Taiji argued: "I didn't let you get three palaces and six courtyards, it's extravagant?!" ”

Yuan Fang pursed his lips disdainfully and said, "It's not those, didn't you say that Wang Yun offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo; Fan Li dedicated Xi Shi to the husband ......"

Zhang Taiji blurted out: "Beauty plan?!" ”

Yuan Fang's eyebrows danced and nodded heavily: "Those who know me, Tai Chi also!" ”

Zhang Taiqing is a stuffy gourd, and this time he went out with his father Zhang Baiwei, and it is still a little difficult to expect him to have any opinions!

As soon as Wang Meng arrived at Zhang's house, he mysteriously pulled Zhang Taiji into the house, and couldn't wait to show Zhang Taiji his treasure, he opened a large box, in which there were several sets of exquisite armor.

Wang Meng took out a set and put it on, his body developed very quickly, and he was close to maturity, so he could still hold up this pair of adult armor, there were some places he couldn't reach, and he needed Zhang Taiji to help him put it on, and when he dressed all parts neatly, with his tall figure, he suddenly looked majestic and heroic.

It was a set of willow leaf armor, the upper part of the helmet was made of wrought iron, but the part that protected the neck and throat was made of leather.

The cuirass is composed of four parts, one from the thigh to the neck, made according to the shape of the human body; The other piece is connected to the front piece from the neck to the waist, and an iron plate is fixed on each shoulder. There is also a piece of armor on each arm, which covers from the shoulder to the wrist and another piece of armor on each leg. All of these pieces of armor are joined together by clasps.

The willow leaf armor is exquisitely made, one finger wide and one palm long, and the shape is like a willow leaf with a number of iron pieces, and each iron piece drills eight small holes. The pieces of iron are connected together with thin leather threads through small holes, and then these pieces of iron are tied to the belt to make a piece of iron belt, and then these pieces of iron are joined together to make the various parts of the iron armor.

Without waiting for Zhang Taiji to finish his armor, Wang Meng took out a long-handled broadsword from a long box, which was very heavy, and the blade and blade were made of stainless steel.

Wang Meng struggled to make a few chopping movements, and he really had a bit of the demeanor of a brave and invincible general, after waving a few times, he put down the knife, and smiled proudly at Zhang Taiji while panting, looking like you envy me and it's useless.

Zhang Taiji also likes this set of armor and broadsword very much, seeing Wang Meng's triumphant appearance, he feels helpless in his heart, who made himself so young!? It will take years to wear such armor!

However, Zhang Taiji thought of something, asked Wang Meng to take off his armor, took him to the stable, and when Zhang Taiji came back from riding a horse, Wang Meng's smug look disappeared immediately, and he instantly changed to a flattering expression, and kept begging Zhang Taiji to teach him to ride a horse.

Ignoring Wang Meng's flattery, let all the friends gather, Zhang Taiji rode in front of the head to lead the way, everyone walked and followed, left Xiangyangpo and walked ten miles, came to Zhang's grange, everyone was tired when they walked, so they rested here.

A few friends didn't know what Zhang Taiji brought them here for, Zhang Taiji only said: "You'll know when you get there." ”

Rest for a while and continue on the road, seeing that the target is in the direction of Aishan, looking around at the trees and grass, there are no more people, and everyone is even more confused!

Walking further, there was a fence surrounded by wooden stakes in front of them, and there were many cows and horses grazing leisurely in the fence, and everyone had just arrived at the gate of the fence, Mu Lun ran over with a few people on horseback, Wang Meng and they did not recognize Mu Lun, so they all showed a vigilant posture.

Mu Lun and several people came to Zhang Taiji's horse, and they all dismounted and saluted Zhang Taiji. Zhang Taiji introduced everyone to each other, and Wang Meng and the others saw that it was their own people, so they let down their guard and turned to care about these cattle and horses.

Zhang Taiji explained his trip to Ninghai Prefecture to everyone, and Wang Meng was going to learn to ride a horse before he finished speaking. Zhang Taiji arranged for someone to take Wang Meng to select horses, but he followed Mu Lun to inspect the construction of the ranch.

It turned out that since Su Hai sent the cattle and horses to Zhang's house on Xiangyangpo, Zhang Taiji planned to build a ranch in Aishan, and the reason why he chose Aishan is because there are basically no people around here, and he can build a training ground here.

Ma Yongzhen was sent here by Zhang Taiji to take charge of the construction of the camp. Zhang Taiji arranged more than fifty people for him, all of whom were teenagers under the age of sixteen or seventeen, and the five children brought by Mu Lun and Ninghaizhou were also among them.

Zhang Taiji asked the five children to follow his surname Zhang, and named them Jinmu, Water, Fire, and Earth from the oldest to the smallest, and told them that their names all represent their own mysterious powers, and the five elements are even more powerful when combined!

As soon as the five children heard that they would have mysterious powers when they heard that they would change their names, they happily agreed. In their minds, Zhang Taiji did have this ability, so after changing his name, every time he saw Zhang Taiji, he asked him to teach immortal spells .........!

When Zhang Taiji saw Ma Yongzhen, Ma Yongzhen was digging a trench with people, it was winter, it was very laborious to dig the soil in the cold weather, they were all tired and sweating, but looking at the depth and width of the trench they dug, they were all dug according to Zhang Taiji's requirements.

In fact, Zhang Taiji asked Ma Yongzhen and them to practice digging ditches, which was to train their ability to camp and form a village, and Zhang Taiji wanted to imitate Zeng Guofan's essence of using troops to "build a hard village".

Zhang Taiji also had little experience in military training, and after thinking about it, he thought that this method should be used first, and digging ditches and forming villages can not only exercise people's physique, but also enhance the ability to work in a team, which is a good way to learn military affairs in the early stage.

After several months of development and construction, the Aishan Ranch has built a wooden fence around it, leveled a three-acre playground, built wooden houses for 100 people, and carpeted the five miles around the ranch to ensure that no one else is there.

Everyone followed Zhang Taiji to turn around the ranch, and they could roughly guess his intention to build the ranch, Han Buxin proposed according to the topography of Aishan, set up a lookout at the highest part of the mountain, and arranged people to take turns to guard it, so as to play the role of early warning and prevent the situation of the ranch from being discovered.

There are still many places that need to be improved at the beginning of the ranch, and Han Buxin's opinion is of course very timely, Zhang Taiji's plan is that the Aishan Ranch will be a training ground for soldiers in the future.

There are horses here to train soldiers in horsemanship, and in the future, you can train archers by purchasing a batch of bows and arrows, and you can train soldiers in combat battles by building swords and guns. Anyway, what is lacking is good, and it will be gradually improved in the future.

At present, the logistics support can only rely on the Zhang family and the Zhang family, but fortunately, the Zhang family has just made a fortune, and it is not a problem to maintain the basic expenses for a few years.

Now the number of people in the ranch is not large, and the management is relatively simple, these people are nominally the guards of the ranch, receiving some military training, the purpose is to protect the safety of the ranch, and these are the servants of the Zhang family, and they protect the property of the main family is also justified.

But in the future, if this is to be used as a military training base, there will definitely be more people coming here to train to become soldiers, so there are many issues to consider.

For example, what is the goal of a soldier's efforts? To whom do the soldiers obey? Who do they have to be loyal to?
