Because Zheng Hao and others are there, Feng Youcai is now the shopkeeper. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Yang saw that Feng Youcai was idle and bored all day long, so he said to him: "Young master, Chengbei District will be resettled after the Spring Festival to reclaim the wasteland, how are you going to protect these hundreds of thousands of acres of land from being harassed by the Mongols when farming?" ”
"Didn't you say you had a way? I asked you at the time, you are still confidential, of course you are responsible for this matter. Feng Youcai said.
"Young master, I have a way, but can I withstand so many Mongolian cavalry myself? Then I won't be a god of war, and in the end, I still have to rely on the young master's own. ”
"Say, what should I do?"
"Young master, I see that you are bored these days, why don't we solve this problem, and save yourself from being in a hurry in the spring."
"Okay, I'm running out of business."
"Okay, young master, let's go down to Yingzidun, and then I'll tell you what to do."
Feng Youcai went directly to the exit point of Xiayingzidun through the exit function of the system, and this room has been kept by Feng Youcai, and no one can come in. Putting Zhang Yang out of the system hall, Zhang Yang held the map of the surrounding 300 kilometers in his hand, pointed to the map and said: "Young master, look at the map, the entire Ningxia Plain, the Yellow River in the east, Helan Mountain in the west, the southern exit is very small, and the northern exit is even narrower, you don't look like a thick shuttle in the middle with thin ends." ”
"What you said is really similar, but what does it have to do with our protection and farming?"
"Young Master, you still haven't understood?"
"What do I understand?"
"Young master, how narrow do you see this place? As long as we build a fortress or a wall in this place, do you want the Mongols to come and live? ”
"Yes, it would be much easier to build a wall in this place, and there is not much distance in total."
"Yes, young master, I mean let's go to the field today to see how to do it appropriately, and when it comes next spring, we can directly implement it, as long as the Mongolians are kept out of this place, then there will be no threat to our hundreds of thousands of acres of land, and besides, the land north of Xiayingzidun can also be cultivated, and more than 100,000 acres of land can be reclaimed."
"Okay, you can accompany me today."
"Young master, only by building this line of defense can this be used as a stable base, which can be attacked and defended."
"At that time, Ningxia Town has taken a fancy to our place, what should we do if we rob it?"
"The people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death? As long as they dare to come, we will dare to destroy them. ”
"That can't be so straightforward."
"Of course not, aren't we gradually showing our strength, the last time you went to the Thousand Households, didn't you bring a cavalry with a general banner? As long as our strength is gradually revealed, ordinary people will not dare to fight our ideas, besides, Ningxia belongs to a military town, there are not as many local officials and gentry in other places, and there are few people who make up their minds, after all, if the strength is not strong enough, it is also the rhythm of life to occupy here, and it is too close to the Mongols here, so for the time being, we can't wipe out a few small Mongolian tribes in Tanxi District, and keeping them is also for the people of Ningxia Town. ”
"Well, I basically see what you mean. Let's go, it's always uneasy not to go to the scene to see. ”
Coming out of the camp pier, Feng Youcai released 2 war horses, 2 people rode horses, walking slowly, when walking 15 miles, a mountain appeared in front of him, Zhang Yang pointed to the mountain and said: "Young master, this mountain is Iron Mountain, on the west side of Iron Mountain is a rocky beach, the cavalry has no way to pass at all, if you continue to walk forward in the east, you will reach the narrowest place, the nearest distance between the mountain and the Yellow River is about 500 meters, you can establish a pass there to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from going south; In addition, the young master can use the system warehouse to load some more stones, all of which are placed on the west side of the Iron Mountain, forming a barrier, which can completely prevent the Mongolian cavalry from attacking us from the west, and then our base will be more reliable. ”
"What about winter? In winter, the Ordos Department can completely cross the Yellow River to the west? “
"Young master, in that case, we still have to rely on the field troops, and even the way to resist the enemy outside the base area, besides, the Mongols can come to us to rob, and we have to go around often, after a long time, they will gradually retreat."
"Didn't you say you couldn't bring in the Mongols?"
"Young master, you have to master a degree, you can't always fight back."
The two of them were arguing as they headed north from the east side of the Iron Mountain.
There are about 6 miles of road, the plain area gradually narrows, the mountain extends to the Yellow River, and it is about to be inserted into the Yellow River, and it stops again, and there is only a passage of less than 500 meters. It is indeed a good place to build a pass in this place, which can be compared to Shanhaiguan.
"Young master, if you build a wall in this place, you see that the front is so narrow, even if they come with a large army, they will not be able to use it, which is extremely beneficial to defense."
"What if the enemy comes from Iron Mountain or the rocky beach in the west?"
"There are also some spies or a small number of people who have passed through Iron Mountain and Rocky Beach, and the large army will not be able to pass."
"Can't be careless, this is better to let the professionals carefully inspect it, or the construction of the pass will be in vain. Also, I wonder why the Ming Dynasty didn't choose to build so many walls here? There must be a reason, after you go back, you carefully study this issue, since the Ming Dynasty did not build a wall here, there must be a reason. “
"Young master, there is no need to check this, it is still impossible to hold the east of the Yellow River, and it is useless to hold it here, so it is necessary to take the initiative to shrink the front, which is also the reason why the old Great Wall was abandoned and the North Great Wall was built later. The 2 side walls on the east side of the river are mainly defensive, and here they are secondary, so they are abandoned. Now that we occupy this place, there are fewer people competing with us. “
"The Ming Dynasty can't hold it, can we hold it?"
"If we want to turn combat effectiveness, we are much stronger than Ningxia Town, but the young master must have confidence."
It's okay to block the Mongols in the north first, and then concentrate on attacking the Mongol cavalry in Hedong a few times, so that he doesn't dare to harass him, and let them know that we are not an ordinary Ming border army. ”
"Yes, that's what you have to do." Zhang Yang said: "Young Master, then let's go to the west of Iron Mountain to have a look?" ”
"Don't look at it, when this pass is repaired, we will block it with gravel over there, and build a few beacon towers at most."
"Let's go back, and when we go back, let's see who we can do to explore again?" You can explore it yourself, I don't want others to know here, it's only possible to protect this place by synthetics, and I don't plan to migrate outsiders to this area north of Xiayingzidun, so it's best not to let Qianhu know about it. ”
"Understood, young master, I'll plan it again when I have time, anyway, it's still early to start work in the spring."
