"My lord, since July and August, Jiannu has frequently crossed the Sancha River, reconnoitred our situation, attacked the people, looted supplies, and did all kinds of evil. With humble observation, Jiannu may enter the army at any time, especially after the first month, the weather turns cold, and it is suitable for sending troops, so we have to guard against it. ”

Du Qing looked at the huge map and explained the military situation. There were almost all the generals sitting below, led by Zhang Ke, including Zhang Feng, Yu Weiliang, Liu Xiwei, Sun Degong, Tang Hui, and even He Shixian, who was stationed on the front line, rushed back, he looked solemn and listened carefully.

"Yongzhen, I'm on the front line, I want to say a few words."

"Uncle, please speak!"

"Hmm!" He Shixian stood up with his tall body dangling, and said in a loud voice: "Since last year, since I was stationed in Xiping Fort, I have renovated the castle, recruited soldiers, and trained strictly. Now I have 3,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry, which seems like a lot of people, but there are a lot of problems! ”

He Shixian said bitterly: "Take the ordnance as an example, the three-eyed guns and bird guns issued to us by the imperial court are all rags, and they will explode when they hit the machine gun, and they will not sound at all, which is worse than burning sticks!" With such armament, how to fight, I look at those rice buckets in the imperial court, which is to disregard human lives. ”

Yu Weiliang sneered: "General He, it's not the first time you~6 have encountered this incident, those things in the imperial court that eat people and don't pull can't be counted on, I think it's better to allocate some armaments from Yizhou!" ”

Zhang Ke smiled and said: "No problem, uncle, I will immediately transfer 1,500 firearms to you, plus 500,000 yuan, as for military rations, I don't have enough money, just find a way to procure it." ”

He Shixian's old face was flushed, Zhang Ke was his junior, and he was embarrassed to reach out to the child to ask for something.

"Yongzhen, you are generous. Uncle was naturally grateful. But I think you should do it yourself. Since the old slave is going to fight, let's concentrate on fighting with him, we fought a mediocre battle in the Hunhe River at the beginning, after such a long time of cultivation, can't we still fight? ”

As soon as these words came out, two people stood up at the end, they were Qin Minping of the White Pole Soldiers and Zhou Dunji of the Zhejiang Soldiers. Since the Battle of the Hunhe River, they have actively restored their strength, referring to the training methods of the Yizhou soldiers, and training the elite soldiers.

Originally, the foundation of the two armies was good. Now his combat power has skyrocketed, and he is full of confidence and wants to take revenge.

"Shaobao, we are willing to act as pawns, let's fight with the Tartars!"

Zhang Ke calmed his face, waved his hand, and asked the two of them to sit down.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Zhang Ke said: "The Tartars have suffered several losses, and they must be more prepared to attack again." You must not underestimate the enemy, you must know that the arrogant army will be defeated! As for the second point, the situation in front of us is not optimistic, and the Daning Capital Division has just been established. At least 20,000 troops were contained, and recruits from all over Liaodong were also training, especially firearms, and rushed to work day and night. The gap is still very large. With our strength and Tartar to fight hard, it is definitely less wins and more defeats. ”

Zhang Ke said very politely, and the generals present looked at each other. There is a willingness to refute it, but they still strongly agree with Zhang Ke's judgment.

Not to mention anything else, Zhang Ke demanded that the army's firearms should reach half of the proportion, but except for Zhang Ke's most trusted old subordinates, the other armies could only reach a three-percent ratio. As for the lack of artillery, in the final analysis, the time is too short......

He Shixian's face was pale, staring at Zhang Ke, and suddenly said, "Yongzhen, are you too timid to have a wife and children?" The Tartars are going to kill them, what can we do? Didn't you say that you want to be a nail household, and you won't give an inch of land? Why are you timid now? ”

"General He!" The more Liu Xiwei listened, the more wrong he became, and hurriedly said: "Shao Bao just told the truth, and he wasn't really afraid of Tartar!" I know you've been on the front line for a long time, and you're under a lot of pressure, but you don't want to get angry, huh? ”

"Alas!" He Shixian hugged his head and sighed.

"I'm in a hurry! The rule of the Tartars is becoming more and more stable, and if it goes on like this, when will it take to recover Liaoshen! ”

He Shixian was sad and indignant, and everyone else silently lowered their heads, pressing a big stone in their hearts, and it was difficult to breathe. Qin Minping and Zhou Dunji stared, obviously trying to fight hard, Zhang Feng kept rubbing his hands, Wu Boyan and Qiao Fu stared at Zhang Ke tightly, hoping that he could come up with a solution.

"Uncle He, the little nephew is not afraid of the Tartars, nor has he forgotten to recover his homeland, and the little nephew has already taken action!"

"Really!"

He Shixian stood up happily, smiled from ear to ear, and said, "Yongzhen, I knew you had a way, hurry up and tell me, where to start?" ”

"Uncle, you all come with me!"

Zhang Ke took everyone to the room next to the study, which was empty, except that there was a huge sand table in the middle of the room, covering the entire Liaodong, including North Korea, Shandong, and Mongolia.

Whether it is the mountains, the ocean, the city, the river, all of them are presented in front of you, and you can't help but be amazed.

Zhang Ke walked to the front of the sand table, picked up a long baton, and pointed to Changsheng Island, which was closely adjacent to the mainland.

"This is it, in fact, I have already arranged, if it succeeds, this winter Tartar will be in an unprecedented predicament, let alone beating us, even his own ass will not be clean."

……

Maybe the blind cat ran into a dead mouse, and when Zhang Ke made an assertion, a storm happened to blow from Liaodong.

Shimen Pass stands in the mountains, the Qing River meanders through, along the river up five kilometers, is a silver pit, from the Hongwu period, here began to mine silver, has continued for more than two hundred years.

Just three months ago, almost a thousand people were sent into the mountains to join the ranks of the miners.

In addition to the original absenteeism, 1,500 people were crammed into the cramped shed, eating what even pigs did not eat, dirty, tired, the overseers kept beating and scolding, and people fell ill and died every day.

Especially since the beginning of summer, more people have died of illness, sometimes even a dozen people a day. The overseers did not treat the miners as human beings at all, and when they died, they threw them into a ravine on the side, and let the wolves pull the dogs to bite them, and the bones were everywhere, like hell.

It was completely dark, and the miners dragged their tired bodies back to the shed. There was a tall guy sitting on the ground, and it happened that a small strong man crawled over his feet, and he quickly stretched out three fingers and pinched them steadily.

"Damn, I still want to run when I get to Lao Tzu's hands, and when I open my big mouth, Xiaoqiang was immediately bitten apart and ate his stomach. The miners on the side looked sideways.

"Look at what? Sue you, this is meat, none of us are people, we are just a group of ghosts, we don't necessarily go to Lord Yama to report when! Just pretending to be a belly of moldy cakes, mountain spring water, you don't lose? ”

"We don't eat cockroaches either!"

In the other corner, two absentees laughed loudly, holding in their hands a cauliflower snake more than two feet long, one of them grabbed the head and tail, and the other skillfully cut open its belly. The snake gallbladder inside was removed.

"Lao Geng, what you ate last time, this time it's mine, right?"

"Well, Lao Tzu has the guts, so you don't need to make up for it." The miner lowered his head and sucked hard against his mouth, and the cold, smelly snake blood entered his stomach and screamed comfortably.

Two miners ate a snake alive under the watchful eye of others. There is nothing left.

"Hey, it's been another day, it's been a day, it's been a day, I'm happy for a day!"

It's not dawn yet. The overseer took the whip and threw three loud whips, causing the miners to wake up from their sleep.

"You thieves have opened your eyes, this is Haugebeizi's henchman, Lord Tokuyama. He has something to say! ”

Deshan glanced at the miners and said with a smile: "Listen to me, Beizi also has an order." Let you pay five thousand taels more every month, and a little less, and cut them all down and feed them to the wolves!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the miners who were numb were stupid, shocked, and angry!

Originally, they only mined 10,000 taels a month at most, but the workload suddenly increased by half, and even if the big guys didn't sleep, they might not be able to do it.

Isn't this a death road!

Seeing that the miners were not convinced, Deshan didn't care. The levy of silver was Hauge's order. A month ago, they deposited 10,000 taels of silver in Bao Shiqing's bank, and after a month, the silver was 200 taels more.

But in comparison, the other Baylors directly saved hundreds of thousands of taels, and they enjoyed the benefits of thousands of taels, and Hauge's eyes were red, you have silver, and I have it.

He sent his henchman Deshan to personally supervise the miners, and there was only one request, to produce an extra five thousand taels of silver per month, and the rest was not careless, even if more people died, it didn't matter.

In the hands of Tokuyama, the miners' doom began, and they could sleep for up to two hours a day, working in the mountains day and night, and each person was given only a small pitiful hard cake.

The miner who got the cake immediately swallowed it in two bites, and if he didn't eat it quickly, the hard cake would be snatched by someone else.

Tired and hungry, the miners were exhausted, and one night, dozens of miners in the shed all had stomach aches, went to squat in the field, tossed until the second half of the night, and began to have blood in the stool, and some of the frail miners simply fell to the ground, whimpering for their lives.

From this day on, the miners accelerated their deaths, and in less than half a month, only half of the people remained, and the living miners were even more frightened, and the Grim Reaper was wandering over their heads, not knowing which one would be taken away!

In the corner of the shed, there are three miners squatting on the ground.

"Two brothers, I don't need to say it, if we go on like this, we will only have a dead end."

"That's right, early death and late death are death, I still want to fight!"

The tall miner smiled: "It's a man, and I, Kong Youde, think the same way." Just tonight, we simply rebelled and killed the overseer, God forbid us to escape, if God does not forbid us - we will not be guilty! ”

The three of them discussed it properly, and in the middle of the night, everyone was asleep, Kong Youde was in front, Shang Kexi and Geng Zhongming were behind, they took three iron drills and quietly left the shed.

God is really blessed, a few Tartars who are standing guard are napping, they all touched Deshan's room, and Kong Youde led the rush in.

"Who!" The little guy sleeping in the outhouse shouted in a daze.

"I'm going to kill you!" Kong Youde waved out the iron hammer, the little guy's sternum was smashed out of a big hole, blood flowed, and the anger hidden in his chest suddenly exploded.

"Anti-fucking! Kill! (To be continued......)
