After Zhao Shilu finished speaking, no one spoke. The process of the www.biquge.info meeting made everyone feel that it was, in the words that Liu Yao often said, very interesting. Everyone looked at the people on the left and right, and they all saw relief on each other's faces. The problems that need to be solved are all on the table, there are mutual constraints, and more is cooperation. Zhou Liya shouted loudly: "Shall we give Xiaomei a ride?" I'll take care of this banquet! And they all shouted and said that they would set the wine on the table.

Liu Yao didn't notice that his expression was much more relaxed, but he felt that the next issues that needed to be discussed were much clearer. He waited for everyone to calm down, and then looked at the reaction, and then said to Wang Daixi, who was in charge of the record: "The minutes of the meeting, the first topic is based on what you just said. Wang Daixi nodded and put down her pen - her record has always been fast.

Yao Ying, who was hiding outside the conference room and eavesdropping, was no longer interested in the next topic, and hurriedly walked towards the hospital. Whether there are enough bandages, whether there are enough people to change dressings, and what should I do if there is an infection that cannot be stopped...... These questions came to mind at once. Liu Man took his younger brother to play in the yard, and when he saw his mother walking out in a hurry, he hurriedly followed: "Mom, why are you going?" "What? Cure the sick and save people! You come with me, Dad has something to do here, and he can't control you. ”

The discussion in the conference room quickly became lively. Everyone's opinion is completely unanimous, Shiroku Port is the gateway to Freedom Mountain, and if Shiroku Port cannot be defended, Freedom Mountain will not be safe. Moreover, if the pirates are not beaten back, once they occupy Shilu Port, the follow-up will be unimaginable. So the discussion came to a conclusion: we must help defend Shiroku Port, and we will set off this afternoon. Later, everyone thought that after the troops were dispatched, the officers and soldiers should be asked for food and salary.

"Let's form an independent army, and we can't listen to him Yao General if we command anything." When it was Sun Zhenggang's turn to speak, he came up with a sentence. Yu Chaoqin next to him also answered: "Let's separate ourselves from him, and take care of ourselves in the accommodation." You can't listen to him for anything, and you can command the war when you command the meal. Everyone laughed and said, "I didn't expect you to have a lot of ideas in this regard." Yu Chaoqin didn't say anything, but thought in his heart: "From our big family, don't you understand this thing?" I have been strictly guarded by my cousin for many years, isn't it just to prevent the slightest slightest, afraid that I will rob him of the family's property. ”

When it was Qian Er's turn to speak, he cleared his throat and said, "According to what I just said, Mei Jiaju asked for it himself, and everyone agreed, that is, he had already left the guard. This is not a member of the guard, is it not appropriate to command the team? Li Jiangong sat opposite him, smiled and said, "I didn't say anything to Lao Mei's family, but what Qian Er said is a thing." Otherwise, let's discuss who to send to Shirokugang, and who to go to command the team. Everyone agreed, and then unanimously elected the team to be commanded by Zhao Fei - there are no secrets in the small Freedom Mountain. Zhao Fei commanded the battle flexibly, was clever, and everyone had enough understanding.

Liu Yao is the moderator of the meeting, responsible for summarizing everyone's opinions on an issue, and when encountering different opinions, he needs to put forward reasons for supporting or opposing one party. He looked at Sun Zhenggang, who was a little lost, and said: "The matter of sending troops to Shilu Port, everyone has talked about the main places, and there are no differences of opinion. I would like to propose here: This afternoon, I would like to ask Mr. Zhao Shilu to send construction personnel to accompany him and select a site for the construction of a military camp. I demanded that there be a canal to divert water from the barracks, as well as a well. For every 50 people, there should be a toilet with water to flush. Liu Yao is particularly concerned about these hygiene-related details.

"You don't have to have a sewer, do you?" Zhao Shilu muttered dissatisfiedly. There is still a shortage of manpower to build the river embankment, and the task of building a military camp has to be diverted.

"Not for now. After Mr. Mei Jiaju succeeds, he will make a plan. "Liu Yao's attitude is very clear, Shilu Port must be won. Zhao Shilu responded: "Okay." In addition, I proposed that Mr. Jiao Huang go with him, and by the way, map the terrain of the port, not only to consider how to camp, but also how to arrange the defense on the map. ”

Mei Xianzhuo said: "Lao Zhao is thoughtful. This map is very important. In addition, I propose that Sun Zhuang continue to train the team, and that both men and women in the Freedom Mountain area should be trained. Now the guard is divided into two places, and if the pirates don't come ashore from Shiroku Port and take the path to our Freedom Mountain, I'm afraid everyone will have to fight together. ”

Liu Yao turned his head to Wang Daixi and said, "Record: The meeting agreed to Mr. Mei Xianzhuo's proposal. In addition, it should be clarified that Freedom Mountain refers to the area that was originally called Freedom Mountain. It includes the area of Meijia Village and Chahe Village now, and the area that will include Shirokugang in the future, and is called Great Freedom Mountain. ”

"We're going to make some flags for the Great Liberty Mountain. Plant the flag in Fork River Village first! Yu Chaoqin shouted excitedly. Liu Yao glanced at him and said loudly to Wang Daixi: "Record." The meeting did not receive an offer from Mr. Yu Chaoqin, as he had not requested an advance statement. Everyone laughed, and Liu Yao also found confidence in the laughter: the development of the Great Freedom Mountain is certainly not like a tyrannical novel that has become a kingdom that he can do whatever he wants, but it has not fallen into a situation like a peasant uprising that begins to start infighting in a small county town - of course, even the county town has not been defeated now. He suddenly felt like hugging his wife and children, and he felt tired and excited like after exercise.

Liu Yao sorted out his thoughts for a while, and then said: "Next, let's move on to topic two, and I would like to ask you to discuss how we can help defend Freedom Mountain. You are free to speak on this subject. Everyone raised their heads, looked at Liu Yao, and then at Mei Jiaju, and saw that neither of them spoke, and then turned their heads to look at Li Jiangong. Mei Xianzhuo saw that everyone was staring at a few people who might put forward military opinions, but they found nothing, so he laughed and said: "Everyone, this war matter, Li Jiangong and I used to worry about it, and then Mr. Liu Yao was thinking about it, and now, I have a good proposal, please see if it makes sense." My proposal is that Zhao Fei, Sun Zhuang, and Zhong Laosi should lead a few soldiers to form a staff department and jointly formulate the objectives and specific methods for assisting in the defense. Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then nodded yes. Sun Zhenggang shouted: "These boys should take care of their own affairs." Record, please add what I said. There was another burst of laughter in the room.

"Please pay attention to the third issue, what weapons do we bring? My proposal is that all the weapons that are available now should be brought with them. If Yao can't bring the weapons to the general, we will lend them them. Seeing that everyone agreed, Liu Yao continued: "In addition, I propose that we make a series of firearms: one is a grenade, which is a gunpowder bag that can be thrown out casually. One is a catapult, which can throw stones or gunpowder packs. Grenades are easy for everyone to understand. Since Tang Zuoxiang's side rumbled all day long, everyone has also explored the same, and I won't introduce the gunpowder bag. As for the catapult, please move, I have asked Mr. Liu Ze to show you. ”

Everyone was stunned, then laughed, and followed Liu Yao to the outside of the courtyard. There was a cart-like thing parked in the clearing, with a long wooden stick sticking out of the middle. Standing up as tall as the rack car, Liu Ze saw his father coming, excitedly turned a winch, and with a gurgling sound, a crane arm rose with a stone the size of a watermelon. Qian Er looked at this highly efficient machine and said, "This thing is very familiar." It seems that Zhang Heng did it. Liu Ze quickly twisted up a stone that weighed about the same as himself, and replied, "Mr. Qian, this catapult was made for me by Mr. Zhang Heng." ”

After the boom was raised, Liu Yao asked his son to step aside, took out a small gunpowder bag, and put it into the small hanging basket tied to the end of the long wooden stick, while explaining: "This is the gunpowder bag for the experiment, and the actual grenade is four times larger than this." The gunpowder bag for the catapult, fifteen times larger than this. As he spoke, he pulled the lead of the gunpowder bag and pulled another drawstring. I saw that the stone fell quickly, driving the wooden stick to wave, and the gunpowder bag flew out more than 50 meters away with green smoke, and smashed to the ground with a pop, and immediately exploded with a bang.

The crowd looked at each other and applauded. This newly learned etiquette made Liu Yao a little more confident: the people of this time and space are not more stubborn than modern people, and they will still accept new things.

"With the help of my son, a three-year-old child, with the help of a catapult, he can throw a small powder bag 50 meters away. Full-size catapults can be hurled up to 500 meters and beyond. Throws can be a powder bag or a heavy ironstone projectile to hit enemies from afar. I'm thinking mainly about ships at the moment. Liu Yao patted the catapult and said, "I want to make a batch of catapults and fifty catties of gunpowder bags to fight the invading bandits." I have the materials and manpower to make it, but the manpower to cast it is insufficient, so I would like to discuss how to solve it at the meeting. Since coming to this world, Liu Yao has been paying out of his own pocket to develop and build an army, which is very similar to the East India Company's "company with army and power", but yesterday Lao Mei ran away with the team, revealing that this model is very fragile. Although the problem has been solved now, Liu Yao does not plan to bear all the costs by himself.

Sun Zhenggang stood up and said, "Our farm can contribute. This catapult can be carried with the help of animal power, and even the winch can be considered with cattle and horses. As for operating the catapult, we should do it if we practice it well. ”

Although she managed a garment factory, Mrs. May never attended meetings. The meeting continued outdoors and it was her first time she was involved in the discussion. Hearing this, she also stood up and said, "Our garment factory can also contribute." We still have the strength to turn the winch. Operating a catapult is certainly not much more difficult than sewing clothes. ”

Liu Yao laughed and said: "If it weren't for the fact that fighting is a dangerous thing, I really want the two of you to form a team and compete with each other." But this artillery team ...... By the way, I'm going to call the artillery team, and I don't plan to worry too much about this artillery team. Who wants to be the captain of this one? Everyone looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the captain would be selected on the spot. Seeing that everyone was silent, Liu Yao pointed at Zhang Heng and said, "Zhang Heng, you made this catapult, do you want to be the captain of this team?" Zhang Heng shrank his head and hurriedly said, "Sir, I will do some manual work, I can't lead the team, let alone fight." Liu Yao smiled unexpectedly, and heard Tang Zuoxiang say: "Sir, I recommend Zhang Yongkai." When everyone heard this, they immediately felt that Tang Zuoxiang had seized this opportunity well.

Liu Yao nodded, and asked Zhang Yongkai, who was standing behind Tang Zuoxiang, "Zhang Yongkai, are you willing to be the captain of this team?" Zhang Yongkai nodded, took a step forward, hesitated whether he should kneel down and kowtow, and heard Liu Yao say: "Marching and fighting, it is inevitable to face life and death, are you ready?" Zhang Yongkai nodded again and promised loudly: "Life and death are fateful, once you go to the battlefield, you will be handed over to Freedom Mountain." ”

"Good! Good one to die for Liberty Mountain. Liu Yao praised loudly and said to Wang Daixi: "Record." The Liberty Mountain Artillery Team was established, with Zhang Yongkai as the captain. Seeing that everyone was very interested, Liu Yao asked loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, has today's topic been discussed?" Mei Xianzhuo and the others took a step forward, and the others naturally took a few steps back, leaving a circle of people standing in the center of the crowd. In this situation, everyone felt a sense of pride and replied: "After the discussion, there are no objections." Liu Yao shouted: "This host announces, adjourn the meeting!" There was a round of applause.

At the end of the meeting, everyone was busy, only Zhang Yongkai stood straight, not knowing what to do, the expression on his face was both excited and confused. Liu Yao pulled him over and sat down on the stone bench at the door, and explained one by one: "First of all, all stone bullets, iron bullets, and gunpowder bags weigh the same; The specifications of this catapult are the same. Therefore, if you put a variety of stones on the winch, the distance that can be thrown is also certain. Zhang Yongkai nodded and said, "I understand, you have to know clearly how far you can invest...... No, it's that you know how to invest as far as you want. Liu Yao nodded and said happily: "I think you do have a clear idea." However, the throwing of this catapult is not very accurate, so it can mainly throw gunpowder packs, regardless of land and sea, one by one. Zhang Yongkai nodded and said, "I'm familiar with the gunpowder bag." ”

"Yes. I'm not worried about this, I'm a little worried that you haven't led a team, and you don't have experience in military affairs, so I'll ask Sun Zhuang to help you for a while and manage the team. Zhang Yongkai stood up and responded excitedly. It seems that this is something he is really worried about.

After confessing the affairs of the artillery team in less than a quarter of an hour, Liu Yao returned home and felt as if he had done something right. You can't do everything by yourself, you must mobilize everyone to do it together, even if it is a tentative thing, we must also let everyone explore it together. Liu Yao sat down in the dining room, served himself some cold rice leftovers, ate some at random, and fell asleep as soon as he lay down in the bedroom. (To be continued.) )
