"Two months!"

Zhang Fengjin walked to the front of the venue and said loudly: "As long as the materials can keep up, the villain dares to pack tickets, and it only takes two months to build a strong city."

Yang Bo frowned and said: "Feng Jin, let's rush under the eyes of the Tartar slaves, you can't just pat your chest and promise, you have to explain your specific thoughts." ”

Zhang Fengjin bowed and said: "Yes, my lord, everyone, the Tun Division dares to play this package ticket, because we now have two new types of plaster, one is invented by adults, the Tun Division is called Sanhe soil, the other is invented by our Tun Division, we call it gypsum soil, with these two new types of marl, whether it is to build a city, a fort, the construction speed of the wall has been greatly accelerated, we use the bluestone bricks fired by the brick kiln of the Tun Division as the foundation, with iron bars as a skeleton, with marl sticking, so that the city built is as hard as iron, we have tried, It is difficult to destroy the wall by digging the corner, flooding, and artillery bombardment, so as long as the adults can ensure sufficient manpower and materials, and the villain will be able to complete the construction in two months with the command of the cantonment department. ”

Yang Bo walked to the map and stared at the vicinity of Fuzhou City for a long time, looking for a suitable place to build the city, and soon, a place called Yangguanbao fell into his sight.

"Yangguan Fort, the ancient city of the Sui Dynasty, this ancient city is 300 steps long from north to south, 200 steps from east to west, covers an area of more than 100 acres, and can garrison 3,000 people up and down XXXXXX" A document of the Intelligence Department read with a note.

Yang Bo beckoned to Zhang Fengjin and said, "Come and see, how about building a city here?" Yangguan Fort is close to Nanxinkou, XX miles away from the sea. It is suitable for sailors to dock, and it is convenient to replenish. ”

Zhang Fengjin looked at the location of Yangguan Fort, and after looking at it carefully for a while, he said, "My lord." Since Yangguanbao has an old city, it is more convenient, first build two strong walls on both sides of the old city, after the wall is built, the old city can be safe, even if the Tartar slaves gather at the city gate to attack, the wall is ......"

Yang Bo smiled and nodded: "I understand what you mean, the two walls are like two protruding fortresses, and the gates of the old city are within the coverage of the crossfire on the walls." If the Tarnus want to attack the Yangguan Fort, they must endure the bombardment of a large number of firearms on both sides of the wall, right? ”

Zhang Fengjin also nodded excitedly. He added: "My lord can see at a glance that the wall is scheduled to be about three feet high, as long as the wall is completed and the new city is built, we will have the ability to protect ourselves, and then our manpower will be divided into two groups." A group continued to build the front wall. Set up a north gate, completely wrap the old city in, the old city does not need to be demolished, but after the bricks are increased, the villain wants to add to the five zhang, as the urn city, this kind of mutual cover of the two-fold city, the Tatar slaves in addition to looking at the wall and sighing. It's not easy to climb. Another group of men and horses dug moats at the same time, because only the northern wall was built. If there are enough manpower, the villain estimates that it will not take a month to complete, and the rest of the project will take a lot of time, the remaining three sides of the old city wall will be re-wrapped with bricks, and there will be two brick kiln factories outside the city, and local materials will be taken, and after the new city is built, these two brick kiln factories can be converted into barracks, and the Tatar slaves will want to besiege the new city in the future, they must first lay down the left and right two brick kiln factories, but if they want to lay the brick kiln factory, they must guard against our army from both sides, build a water city in the south, and there is a wharf in the water city to connect with the sea, which is convenient for the sailors to dock, once the war is stalemate, The water division has a continuous stream of energy to transport troops from Lushun, and the city can store grain, and Changsheng Island can also store grain, and there is a water source in the city, and wells can also be drilled, so that there is no shortage of water and food, and the new city can be guaranteed without worry."

Yang Bo is very happy, who said that he has no talents, this Zhang Fengjin put forward a similar idea of a complete set of defense systems in later generations, Yang Bo thought about it and pointed to the map and said: "There are six tunbao outside the northeast and west sides of the new city, all of which are built with bricks, stones, iron bars and cement, which can prevent excavation and bombardment, each place hides more than 1,000 soldiers, and the materials must be able to support for half a year. The defense system of the new city is complete, and Huang Taiji wants to recapture the state, is it enough to have ten times the number of soldiers and horses? ”

Yang Bo decided that it had been decided, so he turned his attention to the strategic aspect, and after thinking about it, he said to the chief of staff: "Draw up a plan first, you must consider emergencies and details, my plan is like this, the left Panshi Brigade landed from the Nanxinkou area of Fuzhou, and temporarily used Changsheng Island as a material transit station, leaving a company to garrison on Changsheng Island, the Panshi Brigade first besieged Yangguanbao and Fuzhou, and the Iron Fist Brigade went out of Jinzhou, passed through Fu County, and surrounded Fuzhou with the Panshi Brigade, and fought to take it in one go, and the dragoon battalion and rescue battalion continued to go north to attack Yongning Jiancheng, Fifty villages, and guard against Yulin Fort, Gaizhou and other Tartar reinforcements, in addition to let the middle road Shang Ke Xiuyan, besiege Phoenix City, besiege Tongyuan Fort, the soldiers are divided into two ways, respectively to threaten Lianshan Pass, Tianshui Station Fort, it doesn't matter if you can fight it, it is enough to make this action, the right road Tan Yinghuake Zhenjiang Fort, and along the way to pull out Changdian Fort, Yongdian Fort, Dadian Fort, and finally besiege Kuandian, if you can come down, continue to Ke Soul Yang Fort, Gushan Fort, bluff to deter Hetuala, the Iron Fist Brigade is responsible for covering their flanks......"

Yang Bo said that the paperwork recorded that they would fill in and refine it according to this general battle plan, and strive to achieve the expected goals on each road.

Yang Bo pointed to Mei Yangren of the garrison department and said, "How many peasant soldiers can be mobilized?" ”

Mei Yangren quickly stood up, took out a booklet and glanced at it, and said: "Lord Hui, since it is not the busy season for farming, Tunpu can actually be fully mobilized, and the first batch of elite laborers can be organized into three battalions, and these people have passed ordinary military training, and they can fight in armor......

Yang Bo thought for a while: "It doesn't take too much, you only need to assist the garrisons of the Thunder Division to garrison various passes, so let's do it, you can mobilize three battalions first." ”

After Mei Yangren sat down, Yang Bo pointed to Gao Yuanxiang of the water camp and said: "All the sailor ships will return to Lushun within ten days and be on standby."

Gao Yuanxiang was startled, got up and asked, "My lord, what about business?" ”

Yang Bo shook his head and said to everyone: "You can send a message to the various departments of the Dongjiang River, let them transfer some ships for use, let's exchange them with the Tatar slave head, since we have decided to attack, then we can only go all out, everyone, this military operation will determine the future situation of the Liaodong battlefield, I hope everyone can go all out." Lay the foundation for victory in this battle of the Thunder Division. ”

All the chief officials got up and nodded yes, and Yang Bo retreated and asked the people from the Tun Affairs Department to explain to everyone some details that needed to be cooperated when building the city.

Seeing Zhang Fengjin beside him, Yang Bo quietly leaned into his ear as if he remembered something: "Can the two tunbao in the north dig two tunnels?" The tunnel doesn't need to be too big, but it should be connected to the new town. It can accommodate two people to walk sideways, and the tunnel is reinforced with masonry and iron bars, so as to ensure that it cannot be excavated, how about it? If you can, keep this news a secret! ”

Zhang Fengjin was startled, looked left and right and lowered his voice: "It is feasible and naturally feasible, but how can you keep the secret, there are many people." So many craftsmen are watching? ”

Yang Bo said coldly: "When the tunnel was built, the top was covered with wooden planks, and the excavated soil was transported from the old city to lay Fuzhou. I'll choose a batch of bloody coatings to make and kill them all afterwards! ”

Zhang Fengjin hesitated for a moment and nodded silently.

Yang Bo said again: "I'll arrange this matter, you just have to build the city." What other difficulties are not? ”

Zhang Fengjin said: "If the defense system of the new city is completed. I'm afraid it will take more than half a year to do it, and to build a new city, at least 3,000 people must be mobilized, and 1,000 craftsmen are enough. In terms of materials, some can be used locally, and some are like iron branches, masonry, etc., which need to be transported by the sailor at the beginning, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up with the progress. ”

Just after the staff of the Tun Affairs Department finished explaining, Yang Bo patted Zhang Fengjin on the shoulder. got up and said loudly to the crowd at the venue: "The new city is being repaired and fought at the same time, and there is a new city." We will be able to firmly attract the soldiers and horses of the Eight Banners in the South Siwei, so that Jinzhou, Lushun, and even the islands of the Dongjiang River have reduced the pressure, with the new city, we don't have to worry about the Tatar slaves sweeping south again in the future, and we don't have to sigh that the innocent people of the Ming Dynasty are ruined, with the new city, the Tatar slave nest will be threatened, Huang Taiji will never allow this thorn in the flesh to be nailed in Fuzhou, so he will definitely come to pull out this nail, so how can we deal with it? Show weakness first, let Huang Taiji feel that as long as he works harder, he can capture this city, let's hang him and fight slowly, relying on the new city to continuously consume the vital power of the Tartars, we spent so much money to build the new city, and the Tartars don't need tens of thousands of elite lives to fill, then I'm too sorry for us, right? ”

Hearing Yang Bo's clear intention to fight to the death in Fuzhou and the Eight Banners Tarnu, everyone cheered, and Wang Xiaoyu joked: "Shall we ask the adults to name the new city?" ”

"Good, good!" There was another strange scream

Yang Bo thought for a while, and said: "I don't drop the book bag, just call it Mopan City, the purpose of building Mopan City is to make Huang Taiji grind flesh and blood on this grinding plate, now you all go back to formulate plans for each ministry and send it to the military department documents, the General Staff Department refines the battle plan, and the Intelligence Department strengthens the detailed intelligence reconnaissance in Fuzhou and Yangguanbao, including troops, terrain, soil quality, rivers, mountains, climate, etc., the more detailed, the better." The logistics department organized, mobilized, and prepared all the materials needed to build the city, and the commanders of each battalion carried out the three-level mobilization order, and the soldiers of each battalion performed very well at this meeting, especially Lu Xuanliang, Zheng Dunjin, Xiong Zili, Nie Cailin, etc., your suggestions are very good, we must continue to maintain, and after three days, we will formulate a battle plan and dismiss the meeting! ”

Everyone said yes, and they got together in twos and threes to talk and walk, He Jiu took an opportunity to walk to Yang Bo's side, and whispered: "Adult? ”

Yang Bo turned around first, and saw that He Jiu seemed to have something to say, so he said to Zhang Fengjin: "You first report the expenses for building Mopan City, the number of people who need to be mobilized, and the estimated cost to the Ministry of Political Affairs for discussion, if there is a recurrence, I will personally persuade them."

Zhang Fengjin frowned slightly imperceptibly, turned to leave, Yang Bo looked at He Jiu, and said curiously: "I'm very busy, you have something to say quickly."

He Jiu hesitated a little and said in a low voice: "My lord, Lao Jiu can be regarded as an old man who follows adults, there is a sentence I don't know whether to say or not, Lao Jiu has been holding it in my heart for a long time." ”

Yang Bo smiled when he heard this: "Say! ”

He Jiu looked left and right, and then said: "The new city is built, we can firmly establish ourselves in Fuzhou, and threaten the southern four guards and even Shenyang at all times, if the occupation of Jinzhou can be said to solve our people's livelihood, food and other worries, then the occupation of Fuzhou is to complete the offensive against the Tatar slaves militarily, others can't see it, but Lao Jiu feels that as long as the new city is built, coupled with all kinds of economic oppression, the defeat of the Tatar slaves is just around the corner, my lord, our soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, the foundation is strong, and the Dongjiang troops are assisted, the advance can be attacked, and the retreat can be defended, Crisscrossing Liaodong with ease, Lao Jiu wants to know, my lord is right, what do you think of the general trend of the world? ”

Yang Bo was a little stunned, there were still some vague figures shaking in the distance, refusing to leave, obviously listening to He Jiu's news, Yang Bo smiled slightly, patted He Jiu's shoulder and said: "Yang Bo is loyal, as long as His Majesty calls, Yang Bo should drive Tartar slaves for me outside the Ming Dynasty, sweep away bandits inside, and contribute to the stability of my Ming foundation and the peace of the people."

He Jiu's face was full of disappointment, and he muttered in a low voice: "The emperor is mediocre and incompetent, the gentry are drunk and gold-obsessed, the vassal king is indulgent and erosive, and the mansion will collapse for more than a day. ”

Yang Bo was silent for a long time, and nodded affirmatively: "Yes!" ”

As soon as Yang Bo walked out of the conference hall, He Jiu, who was beaming, was surrounded by a large group of officers...... (To be continued......)
