Chapter 90: The Day Before the War

However, Xu Wenshan soon fell into the pit he had dug out. Molotov cocktail, you have to have a bottle for alcohol, right? Naturally, there are no glass bottles in Luhegou, and even if the earthen blower he and the blacksmith can blow the glass out, it will be difficult to get the entire production line out in the next few days.

He needs at least 50 Molotov cocktails.

Glass is not good, and it is okay to replace it with a clay pot, anyway, the meaning of the existence of this bottle is to shatter.

So Xu Wenshan went to Yao's house first.

The Yao family has been making pottery for generations. The craft of pottery has been subdivided as a technical job even in remote places like Luhegou. Now the Yao family's pottery kiln is just their own family working alone.

When Xu Wenshan saw the Yao family's pottery kiln for the first time, he said, "No, it's too small." ”

Old man Yao, the head of the Yao family, looked a little embarrassed, and said, "Young master, this kiln can produce more than a dozen clay pots in one batch, how many clay pots do you want?" ”

Xu Wenshan said: "I need at least 200 clay pots of this size, how many days will you make this kiln?" ”

Old man Yao snapped his fingers and said, "If there are 10 in one kiln, 200 will only take 40 days......"

Xu Wenshan said: "I need you to get it out within three days." ”

"It's a bit of a strong man's difficulty......"

Xu Wenshan patted the old man on the shoulder and said: "This thing is not a joke, if you can't do it in 3 days, then I won't be able to go to Fengshi Village for 3 days, and you won't be able to eat salt for 3 days." If you can't do it in ten days, you won't be able to eat salt for ten days, do you say it's important? ”

Old man Yao squatted on the top of the kiln and thought for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "Young master, this thing is not impossible, but it takes 3 days to ship so many goods, either build a large kiln, or build more than a dozen disposable small kilns at the same time, but the problem is that there are not enough manpower......

Old man Yao paused and said, "There are so many people in my family, I really don't have the money to hire more people......

"Don't panic about this, I have the money."

Xu Wenshan waved his hand, and Lu Ze next to him threw out a small bag, which was heavy, Xu Wenshan said: "A total of 20 times, hire someone to build a kiln and 200 clay pots, is it enough?" ”

Old man Yao was dumbfounded, and after Xu Wenshan left, his son came over and asked, "What is this young master of the Xu family going to do, why do you want so many jars?" He's going to invite the whole village to dinner? ”

Old man Yao slapped his son: "Go to work!" ”

……

The same problem arises in many other areas: distillation of alcohol requires a lot of fuel, which requires a lot of firewood, and at the same time a lot of cloth strips for the leads of the incendiary flask, and finally it takes a lot of manual work.

This is where the backwardness of agricultural civilization over industrial civilization lies: industrial forces are too difficult to mobilize.

Xu Wenshan summoned all the people in the village to the front of the shooting range. In the evening, he asked the convoy to light torches, and before all the villagers, he began his speech:

"At present, Luhegou has fallen into a life-and-death situation, and it takes the efforts of each of you to defeat the strong enemy."

"Now in order to prepare for war, the convoy needs a lot of firewood, strips of cloth, and manpower. In order to encourage the villagers to actively join in, I have prepared 150 yuan to prepare for the war. 150 yuan, that is, 150,000 yuan, I plan to invest all this money in this preparation, I will collect as much as you do, whether you can earn this 150 yuan, it depends on your own ability. ”

As soon as these words came out, all the villagers were boiling, but there was still a rational voice among them: "If we all do this, then what will happen to our fields?" So what do we eat? ”

Xu Wenshan said: "Laying down Fengshi Village, what do you want, are you afraid that you won't have anything to eat?" ”

The eyes of the villagers below lit up, and Xu Wenshan was sure that this was not an illusion.

……

Guo Decai came back, and at the same time brought back three thugs from Fengshi Village.

His current identity is a fine work in Fengshi Village.

As the saying goes, there are only 100 days to be a thief, and there is no 100 days to prevent thieves. He didn't know when the Xu family in Luhegou would attack, so he decided to make use of Guo Decai's waste and place him in Luhegou, so that he could contact the village the day before Xu Wenshan launched an attack.

Guo Decai's condition for the leader was that when the time came, he would break through the Luhe ditch and not move the Guo family. Qian Dabin agreed to come down.

Xu Wenshan's military training naturally couldn't be hidden from the Guo family, so Guo Decai sent the news back to Fengshi Village.

"How can there be such a war?" After listening to the news sent back, the dragon head said disdainfully, "After spending so much effort and so much money, only training a force of 50 people, there is no knife, no shield, no bow, only a spear, this son of the Xu family is not a fool, right?" ”

Qian Dabin shook the feather fan and said, "Longtou, you are in charge of Fengshi Village, naturally you don't know the difficulties of other villages, they usually have to farm, and they can't get together a few people." Those croppers don't practice martial arts, it's good to be able to practice a weapon, how can we be like our sons and daughters in Fengshi Village, who can do eighteen kinds of martial arts? It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he can't. ”

The dragon head sneered: "With this ability, you dare to go against my Fengshi Village?" ”

……

A few days later, Guo Decai reported Xu Wenshan's drill to Fengshi Village.

"It's really a kid's play! He took the war as a child's play! After listening to the report of the visitor, the dragon head was so angry that he laughed, "If you fight with yourself on the mountain, even if you win, can you count?" ”

Qian Dabin said: "The dragon head, this Xu family is just a farmer, he only knows how to copy and copy, and he doesn't understand the tricks of soldiers, thinking that fighting a war is just a charge from two sides." ”

The dragon head said: "Does he not know how to use soldiers?" He's just painting bread to satisfy his hunger! 50 people fight 100 people, and he actually hit such a result, which must be what he asked those opponents to lose deliberately, so as to boost the morale of his team! ”

Qian Dabin said: "It may not be able to increase morale, when the time comes, we will really fight with them, and the situation will be very different from what they are playing. ”

After a while, Qian Dabin said again: "It's okay, his drill will expose all his reality under our noses, and it will be easy to deal with." ”

The dragon head smiled: "A team of 50 people, all spears, what kind of reality can there be?" At most, I should be on guard against the dead soldiers in his family, and after listening to the report, I feel that they are some martial arts. ”

……

A few days later, Guo Decai also spread the news that Xu Wenshan had sent 150 yuan to prepare for the war.

After the dragon head heard the number of 150 guan, his eyes turned green: "Where did this Xu family son get so much money?" ”

Qian Dabin said: "After all, his family has been in Luhegou for several generations, and the family's surplus wealth is estimated to be a lot. ”

The dragon head paced back and forth in the hall and said: "So much money has been given to those croppers, my heart aches!" I really want to lead the troops over immediately and raid his house! ”

Qian Dabin soothed: "When the time comes, the village will be breached, and all the money will be ours." ”

……

A few days later, Guo Decai was arrested by Xu Wenshan.

Not only was Guo Decai arrested, but the thugs he brought with him, who connected with him, were all arrested.

On the night of this day, Xu Wenshan once again summoned the whole village, escorted these fine works to the stage, and said loudly to the villagers:

"Fellow fathers and fellow villagers, your strength has moved me Xu, and in just a few days, such an astonishing amount of work has been completed, with your help, this crusade against Fengshi Village will definitely be successful!"

In this small village of 200 households, men chopping wood and making wine, and women spinning and making pottery, actually produced more than 200 bottles of homemade alcohol incendiary bottles in just four or five days.

Luhegou has indeed worked wonders.

All the villagers had tiredness on their faces, but they also had smiles on their faces. In just four or five days, they made a lot of money.

This miracle is both Luhegou's and the 150 yuan.

Xu Wenshan said: "However, as a villager in Luhegou, he betrayed the efforts of the whole village, and there are such people. ”

After that, he pointed at Guo Decai and said: "This person is the third child of the Guo family, but he took the lead in betraying the village and reported our reality to Fengshi Village one by one. ”

Guo Decai trembled like chaff all over his body.

"Damn it!" The emotions of the villagers have long been stirred up, and they all roar from the bottom of their hearts.

Xu Wenshan waved his hand and said, "Okay, tonight, we cut them down and bring them to the flag!" Today, we are going to set foot in Fengshi Village and take back the salt mine! ”
