"Lookouts?" Zhao Kuangyin heard this fresh statement and became very interested.

"General, in fact, on each street, there are their own fire-watchers, and there are still a lot of wooden houses in Tokyo City, so everyone is afraid of walking in the water, and if there is a fire, the men of each family will come out and fight together." Xu Yongzhi said.

"How can I save it?" Zhao Pu opened his mouth to ask.

"Usually houses are demolished and fires are broken, and only houses near rivers and wells can be saved with water." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Why did the imperial court run this team?" Zhao Pu continued to ask.

"First, it is for the Yongtai of Tokyo City, second, the professional fire team can't count on the militia, and third, the forbidden army has this force, which is more secure for the safety of the palace and the official office." Xu Yongzhi said.

"How much will it cost?" Zhao Pu asked.

"The salary of a hundred people, the initial equipment, I can ask Shanzitang to donate a batch." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Why don't you send a hundred men out of your men to do this?" Zhao Kuangyi said ill-intentionedly.

"Wait, second brother," Zhao Kuangyin said, "The Hujie Infantry Army is the elite of the Great Zhou, how can they let them do the business of the Wanghuo team?" I'm okay with this, I'll write an order, you can let Shanzitang pay for the equipment of this army first, but this money must be paid by Kaifeng Mansion. Zhao Kuangyin said.

Xu Yongzhi saluted and went out happily.

"What is this? Don't you want to give up your dream of being a businessman? Zhao Er said.

"Good neighbor of Da Zhou, defend Xu Yongzhi of the neighbors." Zhao Pu said with a smile.

"Isn't it funny?" Zhao Kuangyin said with a serious face.

"No, no, I just think this kid is a little simple and cute, now is not the time to do this." Zhao Pu said.

"I think he has his own considerations, but you guys are here, he doesn't want to say more, I think he wants to organize a siege division." Zhao Kuangyin said.

"There may be other thoughts, but you're here, and he doesn't want to say more." Zhao Kuangyi said.

Zhao Er's eyes are really poisonous, and what Xu Yongzhi has done recently is really a bit incomprehensible.

Since the last time Wang Zuo's old minister came to the door to ask for a martial arts competition, Xu Yongzhi has become very low-key, and he is more willing to do something strange every day.

Wang Zuo's old husband found the first cannon king of the forbidden army, and after he became a brother with Lianzong (yes, the same surname is not worshipped, but Lianzong), he did not come to harass him, but praised Xu Yongzhi to his son, saying that he has strict military laws, dares to tie himself up and let his subordinates arm, is selfless with an iron face, and has the style of a general of Zhou Yafu in the Western Han Dynasty.

Xu Yongzhi asked the parrot to bring a letter to his uncle Tian Dabang and asked for some strange mechanical drawings.

Ladders, sewer construction diagrams, and sluices are all used in cities.

He immersed himself in the construction of a firefighting team, and after doing his homework for a while, he seriously asked Zhao Kuangyin to ask.

After getting permission, Xu Yongzhi immediately arranged for Xing Dayun to form this team.

There are a lot of things to buy.

Poles, ropes, ladders, wooden posts, bamboo poles, hooks, pumps, shovels, carriages.

Xu Taishi let Shanzitang pay the money, although Zhao Kuangyin said that Kaifeng Mansion would pay for it, but you are a businessman, and a businessman has to be sensible, if you put the money forward, there is no reason to ask the yamen again, which yamen is the worst is money, send a favor, the yamen is happy, and everyone will have to deal with it in the future.

Fifty people were recruited from the fire watchers in the neighborhood, and fifty young and strong young men were recruited from among the peasant families outside the city.

Xing Dayun became the captain of this team.

Xu Taishi and Duan Zishou were responsible for training these newcomers, imparting knowledge such as climbing walls, climbing buildings, demolishing walls, clearing barricades, and blocking fires.

Martial arts will also be taught, simple and rude, it is Duan Zishou's big move, all kinds of sticks to beat people.

Among the 100 people, about a dozen of them knew how to do carpentry work, and they invited master carpenters from Tokyo to teach them all kinds of knowledge about tool making.

That is, after a month's effort, this team was basically formed, and it was stationed in the infantry barracks in peacetime.

The twenty-third day of the lunar month of the sixth year of Xiande.

On this day, the king of the stove, every family is preparing like the New Year, and Shanzitang has also prepared a dinner, Xu Taishi, Huo Yizun, Li Sigui, Duan Meimei, Duan Zishou, A Crisp and Sister Qiao, all gathered in the house, Duan Meimei commanded the servant mother to bring the food up, this year, this group of people had a hard time.

"Big brother-in-law, when will there be a war?" Duan Zishou asked Xu Yongzhi.

"Amori, why do you like to fight?" Xu Yongzhi asked.

"Only by fighting can we make meritorious achievements and take revenge." Duan Zishou said.

"There will be a battle sooner or later, you don't have to worry, but I want to tell you, first do a good job of the business of the Hope Fire Team." Xu Yongzhi said.

"I'm a little curious," Sister Qiao asked, tilting her face, "what are you doing with a firefighting team?" ”

Xu Yongzhi didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Li Sigui smiled and said to her: "Childe, this is going to make a sapper in the future." ”

"What is a sapper?" Sister Qiao said.

"It's a part-time soldier." Duan Zishou said.

"It's impossible to let the soldiers work, it's siege equipment or something." Li Sigui said.

"Siege engines? Isn't it just a ladder? Sister Qiao asked.

"That's not it," Huo Yizun took over, "Thunder and return cannons are all siege equipment, but they have rarely been used in recent years, if you want to attack stronger enemies and stronger city walls, it must be useful." ”

"I don't understand." Sister Qiao said.

"Then don't ask!" Xu Yongzhi said.

"The Lookout Fire Team is just the beginning, and in the future, I definitely hope to have an engineer team, and then maybe an engineer school." Li Sigui said.

"But have you thought about it, Gongzi Xu," Sister Qiao said, "Maybe the Great Zhou Forbidden Army should have a military medical school that specializes in training battlefield injuries." ”

"That's a really good idea." Xu Taishi patted his thigh and praised.

"Look, I still have a huge contribution!" Sister Qiao was triumphant.

After dinner, everyone was ready to disperse.

Xu Yongzhi left Xu Taishi, Huo Yizun, and Li Sigui behind.

"Meimei, blanch some wine, I'll drink a little with my two uncles and Mr. Li."

"I want to drink it too!" Duan Zishou shouted.

"You're not yet eighteen years old, and you can't drink." Duan Meimei sent him away.

Duan Meimei brought the wine up, and Xu Yongzhi asked her to sit beside her.

"The most important people in Yamagido are here, so I'll just say that there is a big thing, and we must prepare for chaos in Tokyo." Xu Yongzhi said.

"What, is there any news from Childe?" Xu Taishi asked.

"Not yet, but I think it will be clear in half a month." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Childe organized the Lookout Fire Team to prepare for this." Li Sigui twisted his beard and smiled.

"Mr. Li, did you just tell Sister Qiao too much?" Duan Meimei asked.

"That's okay," Xu Yongzhi said, "Most people can guess that the engineering team will be used to attack the city in the future, but the recent use, Mr. Li didn't say, I'll explain it to you now." ”

"Maybe the Khitan will attack Da Zhou in the near future."

"Da Zhou will send troops to resist."

"This army may mutini on the way."

"If I'm out of town, I need a team in the city to respond."

"The commander of this team listens to me, I recruited people, and I paid the money, so he will do such a thing with me."

"This team is to open the gates of the city and, if necessary, to attack certain houses with the infantry, and to climb over or tear down the walls of their courtyards."

"That's what the Lookout Flame really is."

"Are you finally ready to take over the world?" Xu Taishi looked excited.

"It's not me, it's for Brother Zhao." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes, this person is the right person, he sits in the world, he won't kill people indiscriminately, he is better than Chai Rong." Huo Yizun said.

"There are all kinds of signs that there is a force that pushes General Zhao to be the Son of Heaven, and Gongzi's speculation is the recent, so everyone must make reserves, and the walls of the house and shops must be reinforced, and this matter should be done; Buying food and armaments, which is now expected to be the cover of the fire team, Taishi has done a lot; Meimei also has a task, I have the appearance of a dress here, and the fabric is also there, you can help me make it. "Li Sigui is like a military advisor, assigning tasks to everyone.

"Mr. Li will follow me out of the city to join the army, Uncle Taishi is ready to mobilize manpower to respond, and Uncle Yi protects the little emperor and the queen mother. Meimei and Ah Crisp take care of their home and hope that each of us can be safe. Xu Yongzhi said.

"Yes." Several people whispered.

The small meeting also dispersed, and Xu Yongzhi returned to his room.

It's always a little messy in my heart.

He didn't join Zhao Kuangyi's plan, but he was doing something similar to Zhao Kuangyi.

The first rebellion, it is inevitable to be a little nervous.

But thinking of Lord Wang Pu's appearance of being pinched to death by his father, with small loyalty and filial piety and no big picture, I feel that this thing should be done.

Da Zhou should not be the queen mother, the three prime ministers and Brother Zhao.

It should, and should only belong to, heroes like Brother Zhao:

The new emperor should be a soldier, but he must respect the scholars;

The new emperor should be a famous general, but he must be full of compassion;

The new emperor must be decisive, but he must not be arbitrary;

The new emperor must be able to guarantee the interests of the military and the bureaucracy, but not allow them to plunder the city of Tokyo.

There is no one else who can have this kind of prestige, strength and morality except Zhao Kuangyin.

Xu Yongzhi had to prepare a lot of things before that day came.

Xu Yongzhi finished washing up with a lot of heart, and suddenly someone knocked on the door.

"It's me." Duan Meimei said.

Xu Yongzhi opened the door, and Duan Meimei hugged him tightly.

"What's wrong?" Xu Yongzhi also hugged her.

"I know you're feeling uncomfortable, so I'll give you a hug." Duan Meimei said.

"You know me, I'm really uncomfortable." Xu Yongzhi said.

"For the sake of the world, for the minimum price. You have to do what you have to do. Duan Meimei said.

"You believe me, but I don't quite believe in myself."

Xu Yongzhi actually wants to say that when he takes this step, will he become the same person as Zhao Er?

"Then you can believe the words of the old fairy, the old fairy said, you are a hero in this world." Duan Meimei said.

Xu Yongzhi couldn't help laughing when he thought of Chen Luan's ancestor who forced people to sleep well all day long.

"As soon as you say Master Chen, I want to sleep." Xu Yongzhi said.

"Why, you don't want to talk to me anymore, just make excuses, right?" Duan Meimei said angrily.

"No, or we'll sleep together." Xu Yongzhi said.

Duan Meimei was not polite at all, and jumped directly on the bed.

Xu Yongzhi slowly came over and climbed onto the bed and hugged Duan Meimei.

A manly man, when he says sleep, he sleeps.

Holding Duan Meimei, he quickly fell asleep.

Duan Meimei heard his breathing and sighed softly.

is already his husband.

What does this man think of me?

It doesn't matter anymore.

It is enough to smell him and fall asleep.
