Happy New Year!

－－－－－－

Although there are many jokes about Yingshanhong joining the cottage, it is actually just a trivial matter in the cottage. There are many, many heroes like her who have joined the cottage...... Every ten days or so, the cottage collects and collects such a group of outlaws, and Huanglong Mountain seems to become lively.

On this small hill occupied by Zhu Yuanzhang, every cave is full of people, and one hill is no longer enough to meet the expansion needs of the cottage, and new residential areas have been built on several nearby hills, and these residential areas must of course be fortified, because the officers and soldiers may come to encircle and suppress at any time, and they can't give up the outer hills when the officers and soldiers come, right?

As a result, several nearby hills began to build stockades, and these stockades were selected on small hills that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, and they watched and helped each other, forming a rugged situation, and if the officers and soldiers hit one of the hills, the other hills could echo...... It can harass the back of officers and soldiers.

In fact, such a defense system is like the city of the imperial court, and the imperial court builds a castle every few miles or dozens of miles on the battlefield in Liaodong, echoing each other to resist the invasion of Jianyu, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's cottage now.

"You can't ask for this mountain...... Because there is no water source! Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to a hill and said to Xu Renjie: "A hill without a stream, if you use it as a stronghold, you will make the mistake that Ma Tan made in the street pavilion during the Three Kingdoms period, the enemy army only needs to block the way down the mountain, and the army on the mountain will be defeated without a fight." ”

"Yes! I'll remember that. Xu Renjie hurriedly wrote down this point.

"That mountain is desirable ......" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed to another hill next to him: "There is water, there is a cliff, there is a way up the mountain, and there is a trail behind the mountain...... It was perfect, arrange a stockade there, and divide 700 villagers to live there, and station another 300 soldiers on it......"

"Yes!" This time it was Li Chujiu who answered, whenever Zhu Yuanzhang taught the art of war, Xu Renjie would obediently come out to reply, but when Zhu Yuanzhang assigned work, Li Chujiu would hurry out to interface. He is now like a general manager of the cottage, and all the material transfers and logistics personnel in the cottage are inseparable from his management.

At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang bought his loyalty with twenty-five copper coins, and until now, he still regards Zhu Yuanzhang as a big brother worth following for a lifetime, and silently handles trivial chores behind his back.

As the cottage gets bigger and bigger, the burden on Li Chujiu's shoulders is getting heavier and heavier, he begins to feel that his ability is limited, in order to live up to Zhu Yuanzhang's expectations of him, he has worked hard to learn to read and write with Zhang Yingxian, and now he can read some very simple books, such as "Three Character Classic" or something has been memorized backwards, and he has been reading "Analects" hard recently.

People in this era learn to read and write, in fact, it is from the "Three Character Classic" to start rote memorization, and then the four books and five classics in turn, these books can be memorized very well, unlike the people of later generations to learn what mathematics, physics and chemistry, this year there is only "Chinese" this course, so it is not too difficult to learn, as long as there are ambitious people, it does not take too much time to learn to read and write.

Take Zhu Yuanzhang in his previous life as an example, he was born in a poor peasant family, grew up herding cattle, and had no conditions to study at all.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements for him did not stop there, he not only asked Li Chujiu to learn the Four Books and Five Classics, but also found a few strange books to read for Li Chujiu, including: "Zhou Ji Sutra", "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", "Island Sutra", "Five Cao Sutras", "Sun Tzu Sutras", "Xiahou Yang Sutras", "Zhang Qiujian Sutras", "Five Classics of Arithmetic", "Ancient Arithmetic", "Fixations", etc., these books are ancient arithmetic books......

Because Zhu Yuanzhang is a person who has seen the future generations, he knows that optical language, what he learns is all nerds, and mathematics is also a very important subject, like Li Chujiu, who manages the entire cottage accounts, how can he do it without learning arithmetic?

But these arithmetic books are really difficult, Li Chujiu learned very hard, and there was no math teacher in the cottage who could teach him these arithmetic scriptures, so he could only rely entirely on self-study, if it wasn't for his loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang that drove him, I was afraid that he would have given up long ago.

Now his arithmetic ability is already above Zhu Yuanzhang, so when he encounters some problems related to actual numbers, he can already give Zhu Yuanzhang advice: "Zhu Bugling...... I have sent someone to measure the land area of this mountain you are referring to, and after calculation, it is a little difficult for this mountain to accommodate a thousand people, and the arable land will not be enough to distribute, so I propose to reduce the number of soldiers to two hundred, and the villagers to arrange only six hundred. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled at him: "Okay, do as you say!" ”

Li Chujiu was also very happy in his heart, Zhu Bugling really trusted himself, as soon as I put forward my opinion, he immediately adopted it!

At this moment, a man in green cloth clothes ran on the mountain road, and he was running in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. Xu Renjie swept his eyes and said, "It's my family...... He sent me important information beyond the mountain...... Seeing that he was in a hurry, there must be something big going on outside the mountain. ”

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang and a group of heroes behind him were interested and hurriedly surrounded him.

"Report to the sir...... Cough...... Report to the Generalissimo, Report to Zhu Bugs, Second Brother Wang, Brother Desperate Sanlang, Brother Miao Mei ......"

"Stop! We're a group of big brothers here, when will you be able to call it? Tell me straight to the point! Xu Renjie said angrily.

The Ding family breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "It's a big thing outside the mountain...... King...... Wang Zuohang...... He's dead! ”

"What?" Miao Mei was shocked: "How did Wang Zuohang's eldest brother die?" Didn't Du Wenhuan already accept his surrender? ”

The family Ding said: "Wang Zuo hangs ......" He glanced at Miao Mei, and quickly changed his words: "Wang Zuo hangs big brother...... After surrendering to Du Wenhuan, he was arranged to be transferred to the vicinity of Pucheng and changed to a good citizen, but ...... Cough...... But the government didn't seem to really accept his surrender, the chief soldier Du Wenhuan and the governor Li Guangsheng secretly discussed to kill him, and was passed out by a subordinate...... Outcome...... As a result, he was besieged by officers and soldiers and died in the ravine of Yonghe. ”

"Wow, yes!" Miao Mei was furious: "I'm fucking officers and soldiers!" Since my eldest brother has already stopped, why do you still want to hurt him......"

A hand next to him stretched out and slapped Miao Mei the shoulder, it turned out to be the hand of the desperate Saburo, and he sighed in a low voice: "If you can believe the words of the officers and soldiers...... Hum...... Sows also go up trees. ”

Miao Mei broke away from his hand, cried loudly, and wanted to run down the mountain, it seemed that he was going to go out of the mountain to find the officers and soldiers for revenge, desperately San Lang hurriedly hugged him, the two men twisted together, Wang Er also hurried over to help, only to press Miao Mei to the ground and couldn't move, this tiger man cried like a tearful man......

The family wiped a handful of sweat, Miao Mei's appearance just now frightened him, and he continued to report in a low voice: "Not only this one thing, but also something about Fugu Wang Jiayin...... Cough...... Wang Jiayin was defeated by Hong Chengchou again......"

"Oh? Let's go into details! Zhu Yuanzhang also became interested.

"On the fifth day of June this year, Wang Jiayin gathered 20,000 people, made a comeback, attacked Fugu and Hequ, this time he was a wide range of soldiers, claiming that all soldiers were trained by the training method of the border army, and the guards were like nothing......" Jia Ding said this, everyone glanced at Yingshanhong together, and it seems that Yingshanhong has no nonsense in this matter.

Jia Ding continued: "Sure enough, Wang Jiayin is quite powerful this time, and the guards of Fugu and Hequ were defeated by him without much effort and occupied these two cities. But...... At this time, Hong Chengchou arrived at the ...... With only 4,000 guards, he defeated Wang Jiayin's army......"

"Four thousand? Only four thousand? Wow! The leaders behind Zhu Yuanzhang exclaimed at the same time. Especially Ying Shanhong, who shouted the loudest: "This can't be...... 4,000 soft guards can defeat Wang Jiayin's eldest brother's 20,000 people? Isn't that? ”

"That's not." The family wiped his sweat and said: "After Wang Jiayin was defeated for a while, he fled to Huangfuchuan, was caught up by Hong Chengchou, and was defeated again, and was embarrassed and ran into the mountains...... At this time, Yanbian Zhang Xianzhong rushed to reinforce Wang Jiayin, and fought another battle with Hong Chengchou, and the result was ...... Zhang Xianzhong was also defeated and also ran into the mountains......"

"Damn, this Hong Chengchou is so powerful?" The leaders only felt a chill in their vests.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face sank: "This person is indeed very powerful...... But his character is not very good, he is just a Han annihilation who defected to the enemy and betrayed the country. ”

"Huh? Han Jian? What does this mean? The leaders were a little surprised by Zhu Yuanzhang's speech.

Zhu Yuanzhang consciously said that he had leaked his mouth, and quickly closed his mouth and stopped mentioning it. In fact, with his city, he will not say that he will leak his mouth, but he has personally experienced the history of the collapse of the dynasty he established, and he has seen Hong Chengchou, a Han annihilation, grovel to Jiannu, how can he not hate? When he heard this name, his anger was not completely controlled for a while, so he blurted out a sentence that revealed the secret of heaven.

Don't say too much!

His mind spun quickly, and he suddenly thought of something important: "Wang Jiayin and Zhang Xianzhong fled into the mountains after being defeated...... The place where they were defeated was Huangfu River, and this place was not far north of Luochuan. Intelligence says they ran into the mountains, which mountain is it? ”

"Huh? Not good! Zhu Yuanzhang said in a low voice: "These two guys, the mountain they entered is not our Huanglong Mountain!" ”

"Pass my orders!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said loudly: "All the scouts are sent out, and pay close attention to all the mountain roads, mountain streams, and caves in the Huanglong Mountain Range...... All the soldiers have put me into a state of readiness, cancel all training from today onwards, and retain my physical strength, Li Chujiu, you prepare for me to roll logs and stones......"

"Brother Zhu, what's wrong?" The leaders hurriedly asked, "Why are you facing the enemy?" ”

"Wang Jiayin, Zhang Xianzhong, these two difficult guys, come to visit us soon!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said as soon as he spoke, and everyone was shocked.
