Chapter 62: Suppressing Bandits (I)
After returning from the guard, Yang Bo's face was extremely solemn, and no one else dared to ask more, and soon, he received the news that Yang Bo was going to hold a meeting.
The sea-view room was full of people, the chief officers of various departments had arrived, and even the team leaders of the salt protection team were asked to attend the meeting, many of these team leaders were newly promoted, and they were very curious and excited about this kind of meeting attended by the adults of the thousand households in person.
"It's going to be war"
Yang Bo's first sentence made everyone's hearts flutter......
Yang Bo arranged slowly a few days ago, first Wang Yuanshan called him to the stone mortar, and the two talked in detail for an afternoon, then Lord Anton Wei Dong, and then Lord Yan, the purpose is one, Anton Wei is ready to suppress bandits!
Yang Bo knows that the recent robbery of the Lu Wangfu caused a shock in the officialdom, Juzhou side of the crime, exile, the removal of a large number of officials, as the next door of Juzhou, Anton Wei did not do something I am afraid that he will not be able to explain, there is another thing, it is also a coincidence, in the north of Maojiatun, less than forty miles away from Yuezhao County, an unknown number of bandits attacked Caogoudian Juntun, robbed countless gold, silver, rice and grain, of course, this is the official statement, Yang Bo is most concerned about being robbed by bandits more than 30 women, children and children, There are also some daily necessities such as chickens, cattle, etc
If you want to leave it in normal times, you will rob it if you rob it, and everyone will not know it, and it will slowly pass. But in this special period, the adults were worried that this matter would be used by someone with a heart, and it would be an earthquake if it was poked out, so they set a charter to suppress bandits, and Yang Bo, who was known as a murderer, became a piece of fragrant bun that all parties fought for. That subordinate will make a sycophant, that subordinate will fight, and these seemingly mediocre adults are like mirrors in their hearts.
Needless to say, Lord Yan, Anton Wei's commander Wei has recently been operating the position of Jimo Battalion Division, and he has not made any meritorious achievements, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the officials of the Wei Institute are not valuable, and they have no real power, and the weight of the battalion and military system is different.
Not to mention Zhou Guangbi and Wang Yuanshan, they closed their eyes and let Yang Bo mess around, waiting for this opportunity, yes, Yang Bo is under a lot of pressure now.
When everyone heard this, they were a little silent for a while, they had just come back from the ambush on the cross slope, although they had captured a lot, but the salt guard team had lost five more people, and the total number was between two hundred.
"Tomorrow there will be another day off, and the day after tomorrow will start training, and the logistics will come up with a plan for me" Yang Bo waved his hand and set the tone, and the salt protection team distributed the seizures, and the current state is still a little loose......
Xiao Mochou frowned, he didn't speak, just continued to look at the map in front of the table.
"My lord, this Dafu Mountain spans several guards, all the way to the territory of Xiahe, if the salt protection team is dispatched, at least a hundred people will have to be transferred to the logistics, our transportation capacity is not enough" Xiao Mochou finally spoke slowly, the ox carts and horses captured last time were all pulled to Chen Bilian for safety, but he didn't expect to encounter such an embarrassing thing
"Buy some mules and come back? Mobilize some more chicken buses to deal with it," Han Yan'er whispered
Xiao Mochou looked at Han Yan'er for a moment: "Mules are too expensive, the terrain of Dafu Mountain is rugged, and the rooster cart may not be possible, besides, where can I mobilize so many people?" Unless you transfer those women to me"
The hall was silent for a while, Yang Bo has always loved the old, weak, sick and disabled in the tunli, women and children are not allowed to do heavy work, adults must not agree with this method, but you can't let the salt guards go to war on an empty stomach, right?
"This thing is easy to do" Yang Bo stood up: "Fry rice, make jerky, let's prepare our own five dry food, I'll write a way for you in a while, Second Aunt Han?" ”
Han Erjia stood up: "My lord? ”
"You organize those old and weak military households, women, and children, these days, stop the work at hand and make rice and jerky with all your might, the number is according to each soldier brings five servings, the logistics team carries ten, and selects ten people to follow Mo Chou to learn" After Yang Bo finished speaking, Han Erjia nodded and sat down again.
"He Jiu?"
"Here!"
"You take a few people to set off and inquire about the situation of Caogou Shop" Yang Bo thought for a while and said: "The number of bandits, equipment, terrain, and surrounding conditions have to be clarified for me, draw a detailed sketch, and give you three days"
"Yes!" He Jiu clenched his fists very simply
"Erman, you take a few people to enter Dafu Mountain dressed as foot merchants, and give you ten days to find out the location of all the bandits in the Dafu Mountain area, the approximate number of people, weapons, and food, pay attention to safety, and run away when you see that the situation is not good, do you hear?"
After ordering these, Yang Bo successively assigned some training and equipment tasks, and everyone responded in unison, knowing that Mao Jiatun was ready to make a big move, they had some expectations and worries in their hearts......
Yang Bo is under a lot of pressure, he can't be cautious, he doesn't dare to count on other military camps, he must be careful to use them as cannon fodder.
After the meeting, Maojiatun mobilized in a chaotic manner, Yang Bo first went to see the production of dry food, it is nothing more than to fry the rice, and the dried meat is exposed to the sun after cooking, anyway, Maojiatun has nothing else, it is just a lot of salt, just throw a few pieces into it and marinate it, and it is not difficult to save it for ten days and half a month.
After inspecting the logistics, Yang Bo came to the craftsman camp again, Liu Lao Donkey led a group of people to make armor in full swing, in view of the fact that the damage of several salt protection teams are related to the lack of equipment, Yang Bo made up his mind that no one in the salt protection team was equipped with a pair of iron scale armor, which forced Liu Lao Donkey to choke enough, during this time he took a group of people to work all night, and finally rushed to make a sample.
Yang Bo is very satisfied, this iron armor is much thicker than his own, and one of the big mirrors is extraordinarily bright, if the salt guard team is all equipped, it can really be regarded as a tiger and wolf division, the only drawback is that it is too heavy!
"Too heavy?" Liu Lao Donkey was not happy, he took out a snowy waist knife and rushed over, Yang Bo was startled......
Fluffy!
Liu Lao Donkey slashed twice at the iron armor and handed it to Yang Bo, who was secretly wiping his sweat.
The two knives chopped down, leaving two not deep marks on the iron armor!
"Old Liu Tou, this armor is doing well"
Yang Bo praised sincerely: "You can do it with confidence, I asked those rabbit cubs to increase a few weight-bearing trainings, less than fifty pounds, it's nothing"
Hearing the praise, Liu Lao Donkey's face stretched out, and his proud craftsmanship was absolutely undoubted.
When he went out, Yang Bo secretly calculated in his heart, this time the time was urgent, I was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with too much iron armor, and he should give priority to equipping those military households above the level of squad leader, and the others could only be dealt with the helmet first and wearing leather armor.
Chen Jianghu ran in with two guns, before making the mortar with all his might, the craftsman camp had already played four heel guns, Yang Bo took it and looked at it carefully, the hexagonal gun tube was uniform and smooth, the inner diameter had been tried with the same size of lead, there was no incompatibility problem, this gun pipe was made of fine iron, the whole body was black and shiny, and it looked like seven catties in the hand, if other parts were added in the later stage, the total weight was estimated to be more than ten catties, and the length of the whole gun was about one meter, which was completely acceptable to ordinary soldiers.
"Have you tried it?" Yang Bo asked
"All four guns have passed the destruction, that destruction test" Chen Jianghu nodded proudly.
Yang Bo has seen a video before, a bird gun can be completed by hand in only six days, of course, with the help of a lot of tools, including a variety of knives......
There are many ways to increase the range, the most direct is to engrave rifling on the inner wall of the barrel, but Yang Bo can't help it, if the hardness of the knife does not meet the requirements, there is no way to talk about rifling, not to mention that he doesn't know how to engrave those so-called spiral rifling.
Yang Bo could only bury this tempting idea deep in his heart for the time being......
"Mr. Chen, since these four pipes have been made, let's find a few people to finish the work behind, and the rest of the people should go all out to build the mortar" Yang Bo knew that he was in a hurry, so he didn't urge anymore, if you count these four bird guns, Maojiatun already has nearly ten bird guns, and you can equip a team.
"When do you want it?" Chen Jianghu asked
"At the beginning of October, the guards set up their military horses and went into the mountains to suppress bandits" Yang Bo shook his head, if only he had more time
"Yes, in addition to the time-consuming drilling process, other triggers and bolts can be caught up, and there are also some more fire ropes, leads, fuses, etc. in the tun, I'm afraid it's not enough" Chen Jianghu nodded and agreed
"I asked Mo Chou to go to Anton Wei to buy a batch of spare ......"
Yang Bo walked towards the beach, while thinking, what else needs to be worried about, the woman in the tunli took a few days to make six hundred catties of gunpowder into granular gunpowder, so that the movement of the firecracker was simplified to five or six steps, but due to the short range of the firecracker, this put forward higher requirements for the firecracker in the face of high-speed moving cavalry. It is simply unrealistic to expect to suppress the cavalry charge with three platoons, and according to Yang Bo's estimates, at least six platoons, or even more......
"Let's wait for the bandits to come back," Yang Bo sighed
On the beach, Tie Niu is very majestic to urge the salt protection team to do training, in addition to the regular detachment confrontation, according to Yang Bo's order to add long-lost weight-bearing cross-country, personal martial arts training, physical training and other subjects, Tie Niu at any time spot checks, can not pass the punishment squad leader, squad leader punishment team members, calves with three or four people responsible for implementation.
The calf was very depressed, his sin camp only came back three from the cross slope, looking at Erman's strength, as well as the majesty of He Jiu, the calf's eyes were red, fortunately, Yang Bo promised him that he would catch some prisoners after the bandits were suppressed and give him to enrich the sin camp, and the calf gave up.
"Sweat more in training, shed less blood in wartime......"
"Work hard for me alone to defend Maojiatun ......"
Several eloquent instructors under Dabao were explaining the thoughts of the punished soldiers, and the slogans were directed at the hearts of the people
Seeing this situation, Yang Bo was very satisfied, and Zhang Dabao's work ability reassured him the most.
"Fuck you, Mag is bigger" The captain of the squad scolded in a broken mouth: "It's all a bad breed, even Liu Dahu's team can't win, I see you all going to die, all fucking add 500 push-ups for me!" ”
It is estimated that the team led by this captain lost the game, and he scolded so much that he spat and ignored everyone's gaze.
Yang Bo could only smile bitterly, now these captains don't have the ability to analyze problems for their surnames, they just know how to blindly scold and corporal punishment, but after the edification of the private school, they will definitely be able to grow up in the future.
On the other side, a team of musketeers trained under the leadership of special forces instructors, who held sticks in their hands instead of muskets. Because these people all have experience with the Three-Eyed Gun, it is most appropriate to use them as instructors.
"Get the gun!"
With a shout, the team held the sticks in their hands in unison.
"Open the fire door!" The instructor continued to shout, and the two columns of bird commanders yelled and repeated an order, and reached out on the sticks to make a motion to open the fire door, and those who did not move in order were beaten three times with three sticks as a warning.
"Take the medicine!"
"Pour the medicine!"
"Turn off the fire!"
"Spear!"
With a "vertical spear", the two columns of bird commanders put their sticks on the ground together.
"Reload!"
"Poke it down!"
"Guns!"
"Platoons ready!"
After the virtual gunpowder was loaded, under the instructor's order, the first row of bird commanders aimed at the front with sticks. After all the shots were fired, the first step was repeated, and the other instructors patrolled the ranks with sticks, causing the soldiers to scream.
Yang Bo didn't need them to shoot fast, he wanted the overall surname of each platoon to fire, as long as the aiming and shooting action was completed at the specified time, and a barrage was formed in front of the enemy, this was considered qualified.
Seeing that these teachings were very effective, Yang Bo was also happy, and was about to step forward to praise a few words, when He Jiu's voice came from behind him
"Adult ......"
"How's it going, have you figured it out?" Yang Bo looked back at He Jiu, who was panting
"Yes" He Jiu clasped his fists and said: "This group of bandits is entrenched in the area of the chessboard pass of Dafu Mountain, originally there were only more than 100 people, but in recent years, they have somehow prospered, robbing the past merchants and the surrounding areas, I heard that there have been four cottages, and recently a group of Liaodong deserters have also been added, and the number has reached more than 800 people......
"How much?" Yang Bo was shocked when he heard this
"More than eight hundred!"
