Chapter 129: Petitions

As a border town, and with the most ferocious Mongols in its neighborhood, the autumn harvest season is approaching.

And this autumn harvest season is the time when the Mongols often come to fight the grass valley, that is to say, some military forces in the border cities and counties are now imminent.

In the place where the border city county interacted with Mongolia and Korea, there were three fortifications - pillboxes that were built a long time ago.

Because of the lack of advanced construction technology related to concrete in this era, the so-called blockhouses are mostly tall and relatively strong earth barriers.

The bunker is usually more than 20 meters long, about 10 meters wide, and only more than 5 meters high, and is generally stationed in a small squad of soldiers, and a squad is usually 15 people.

Although it is made of earth and stone, it may not be good at defending against enemies, but it has this good effect in terms of early warning.

At the top of the bunker was a beacon that could be lit to notify the rest of the prefecture if a Mongol or Korean army was found to have entered the country.

However, these three pillboxes have been abandoned for a long time, and they are only in good condition, and if you want to rearrange the soldiers to be stationed, you must renovate them.

"First of all, the military aspect, Wei Yan, you are a person born in this city and county, you should know more about these, let's start with you."

Zhang Tie first said what he wanted to talk about, and then directly threw this question to Wei Yan, the centurion of the South Gate.

As a native of Biancheng County, Wei Yan really knows more about this aspect than outsiders like Yan Beichen, after all, Biancheng County has been violated by Mongolians for many years, and as a native of Biancheng County, of course, he knows Mongolians and Koreans very well.

Wei Yan stood up, took a deep breath, and spit out again.

"For the military, I personally think that the most important thing now is to warn of the attack of the Mongols and Koreans."

"Tomorrow is September, and the autumn harvest is getting closer and closer, and according to the habits of Mongolians and Koreans in the past, it should come in half a month."

Wei Yan was obviously not making things up, but reasonable, and everyone present also inquired to some extent, and they all nodded and agreed with his statement.

"From the border to the county seat, at the speed of the Mongols, it only takes three hours, so the early warning measures must be done."

"In terms of defensive measures, I propose to reactivate the three pillboxes on the border, and then build a beacon (watchtower) at intervals to deliver the message so that I can wait for time to prepare and evacuate the civilians."

"That's all I propose."

After calming down, Wei Yan sat back in his chair, and after Wei Yan finished sitting down, Zhang Tie stood up again.

"Very good, the opinions that Wei Yan put forward just now are all about how to prevent the Mongols, and they are all good and effective measures, in this regard, do you have any comments to add?"

As soon as Zhang Tie's words fell, He Pojun stood up again, "My lord, I think that this is too passive, we should take the initiative to attack, directly send troops to garrison the border, and keep the enemy outside the door." ”

As soon as He Pojun's suggestion was put forward, Yan Beichen stood up directly, clasped his fists in front of Zhang Tie, and said in a firm tone: "Lord, the last general is willing to garrison the border to defend against foreign enemies." ”

Wei Yan, who had just sat down, also stood up again, also clenching his fists at Zhang Tie, his eyes were firm, and his voice was loud.

"Master, the disciple is willing to be stationed at the border with Brother Yan to defend against the enemy and the outside of the door."

The other two centurions, Bi Yongchun and Yao Yuanzheng looked at each other helplessly, and they all stood up, and the other two centurions did the same, if the two of them were not together, it would seem incompatible with others.

"My lord, the last general is willing to be stationed at the border with you to guard the territory."

"My lord, the last general is willing to garrison the border with all of you to keep the people safe."

He Pojun also wanted to petition, but when he thought that he was only a small soldier now, he was not qualified to petition, so he did not petition with others.

And the other few people, one is the female soldier Jiang Bilan, who came here to play soy sauce completely, and Yu Yingyou's duty to catch the head is to keep the law, and it is impossible to leave the border city and county.

In the face of everyone's petition, Zhang Tie never expected it, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed happily, Zhang Tie was also very happy that they had this kind of thought.

"Okay, what the broken army said is right, we can't just pass on the news, we also have to keep these enemies out of the door and keep the people of the border cities and counties safe."

"However, there are not too many people stationed there, at present, they are stationed in the three pillboxes that Wei Yan mentioned, you are adding me and my father, exactly six people, each leading a hundred soldiers, every three people are stationed for two months, and they are rotated."

"But you can't just garrison and not train troops."

Zhang Tie said this, turned his head to look at He Pojun, and said, "In this way, He Pojun and Jiang Jianhua." ”

"Yes."

"The disciple is here."

He Pojun He and Jiang Jianhua both subconsciously replied, and He Pojun's face showed joy, thinking that Zhang Tie was going to let him go to the border pass.

He Pojun really wants to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, he has been blinded all the year round, he has been abandoned by others, and now he wants to prove himself and realize his mother's dream.

And Jiang Jianhua's expression was still flat, as if he would only show a different look when he explained to the soldiers, but his eyes still flickered slightly, and he was also full of expectations for the next things.

The expressions of the two naturally entered Zhang Tie's eyes, and they also had some understanding of He Pojun's thoughts, and sighed secretly. "It's a pity, you have just joined the army, and now let you lead an army, the soldiers below will definitely not be convinced."

Retracting the thoughts in his heart, Zhang Tie said to the two: "In the future, the training of soldiers will be handed over to the two of you, and you must teach the recruits to become elite soldiers." ”

"Yes, my lord, I will definitely give you many elite warriors."

"Yes, master."

Both of them replied in unison, their tones full of confidence in their abilities.

Although he didn't get the opportunity to garrison the border pass, He Pojun was only slightly disappointed in his heart, and soon recovered his state.

He Pojun also understands his own situation, he has just become a recruit, and it is impossible to become a commander immediately and garrison the border, and it is also a good choice to be able to teach recruits now.

Secretly clenched his fists, He Pojun kept cheering for himself in his heart. "Come on, He Pojun, this is your chance to perform, as long as these recruits are trained into elites, you will take the first step to become a general, come on!"

And Jiang Jianhua, when he heard that he was teaching recruits, was also happy, which was exactly what he wanted.

"Okay, now that the matter of resisting the Mongols has been arranged, and the training of recruits has also been arranged, the next thing is naturally the weapons and equipment, the iron material is its own, and the only thing lacking is the blacksmith,"

Zhang Tie looked at Liu Yi, who was sitting on the left. "Brother Liu, this blacksmith will depend on your help."

Liu Yi waved his hand, and there was no dissatisfaction on his face. "Where, it is a blessing for the younger brother to be able to help Brother Zhang."

Although the Liu Yi family is not a big family and is not as good as the Deng family, it is not a problem to find more than ten blacksmiths.

Liu Yi is essentially just a scholar, although he knows a little family martial arts, but he is only a little stronger than Huaquan embroidered legs, and he is still a GG when he encounters hard ideas.

Therefore, the military power was also directly lost to Zhang Tie, and all along, he had been following Zhang Shun to manage the financial problems, and the displaced people outside were handed over to him to manage.
