After all the bosses have been given the banner and understood its usefulness.

Yan Zheng also proposed that all tribes should send two children to learn Xinhua.

He took out a treaty written on paper, and informed the tribes that he had invented writing to record what had happened and what had been agreed upon.

For this article, many tribes have shown a strong interest, especially after a little understanding of the text, many leaders have realized that this thing called the text is very beneficial to the tribe.

So this proposal was happily announced to have been adopted. Many leaders also took the opportunity to offer to buy some paper to go back.

Yan Zheng didn't know why they wanted paper, but he was still very generous and gave two from each tribe.

After the meeting, it was time to take the leaders on a tour.

This can be regarded as a demonstration of soft and hard power, which can make these leaders, in their hearts, feel that being a dog in Monabu is the best thing in the world.

First of all, Yan Zheng took them to a foot-operated thresher.

When they saw the machine in action, all the leaders had a surprisingly unanimous expression, a silent face and a horrified look.

They couldn't imagine how this was made, but they could see that the big cylinder with an iron ring in the middle spun rapidly as their feet moved up and down.

And when they learned that it could be used to thresh rice, these leaders were even more amazed.

Yan Zheng took the opportunity to propose that such a machine can be exchanged for only 3,000 catties of grain, and Tong Su is not bullied!

After hearing this, these leaders expressed a strong desire to buy.

Yan Zheng took them to the Red House and the homes of two ordinary clansmen.

They were introduced to a range of woodworking products, including wooden beds, wooden chairs and tables, as well as mattresses made of straw.

Although these things are not as shocking as the foot-operated thresher, the style of life revealed still amazes many tribal leaders, and they only know today that people can still live like this.

And after turning these civilian things, the main event will come.

Yan Zheng took them to the barracks, and the soldiers of several companies personally showed them what is called a queue and what is called a separate march.

I saw these soldiers advancing rapidly in rows and rows under the command of the company commander accompanied by the sound of drums.

Although it was not neat in Yan Zheng's opinion, it still made these leaders understand what the real army was like.

Especially when the rows of soldiers began to perform the three-stage strike, these leaders were even more frightened like monkeys.

They heard only thunder, only the light of the fire, and then the wooden sign in the distance shattered.

Many leaders were exclaiming, they didn't expect such a sharp weapon.

Moreover, these soldiers did not stop after playing the wooden cards, but insisted on showing the muskets and iron armor, and also showed the broken iron armor to these leaders.

After reading it, everyone was silent, scared and glad at the same time.

Only a few of the leaders who had the first contact with Mona puffed up their chests, feeling that they were the friendliest tribe of Mona, and that they could touch this glory.

Then they were led up to the great convex corners of the walls of the city of Meaux, and at each prismatic convex corner was placed a cannon.

The eight soldiers on the top, seeing Yan Zheng walking up to the front and back, immediately trotted over, stood up and saluted: "The first artillery group is ready!"

"Let's get started!"

"Yes!"

So saying, the soldier trotted back, and as soon as the order was given, one of the soldiers on the left immediately held a long stick with a brush made of hairy deerskin.

After getting some water, it reached into the barrel of the gun and cleaned it, which was supposed to be done after firing once, because the fire had to be extinguished.

And after the soldier finished cleaning up, the soldier on the right also picked up a long wooden stick with a cotton cloth and stretched it into the barrel of the cannon.

After carefully writing down the wipes, as soon as the long wooden stick was withdrawn from the muzzle, a silk-wrapped fixed gunpowder was stuffed in.

Then a soldier held up a cannonball and let it slide into the chamber.

After a soldier held a large long stick and pressed it tightly, the gun leader immediately picked up an iron drill and pierced the ignition hole.

After piercing, some gunpowder was poured into the ignition, but unfortunately there was no qualified lead now, so it could only be ignited in this way.

After making all the preparations again, the soldiers returned to the starting position.

As the gun leader approached the ignition hole with a long wooden stick with a thick fire rope, he saw the fire flash, and then there was a bang.

Boom - the leaders were so frightened that they fell.

I saw that the smoke was filled, the entire city wall was shaking, and the gun carriage was made to retreat by a long distance due to the recoil.

When the leaders came to their senses, the soldiers had already practiced again, and the movements were the same as just now, with only one more step to reset.

After a while, it was another shot, and this time no one was intimidated, but the panic on everyone's faces couldn't be hidden!

This is a weapon beyond their understanding, especially after Yan Zheng took them to see the landing point of the cannonball, everyone looked at the big convex corners and said nothing.

The first to react was the leader of Ana, who shouted that it was a blessing for all the tribes that Mona was so powerful!

As soon as this sentence came out, the rest of the tribes breathed a sigh of relief.

For they understood that as long as they were friendly tribes with Mona, these weapons would be used against a common enemy.

Of course, no one can guarantee that this Son of God will suddenly judge a friendly tribe as an enemy one day.

"It's all here, the meeting starts now!"

After all the leaders had resigned, Yan Zheng convened a military meeting immediately afterward.

It's a pity that Lu Wan hasn't been called back yet, he seems to have broken through the Beidai River, and the location of the team has become a mystery, so he can only wait for him to take the initiative to run back.

"What can be guessed now is that the army entrenched in Zhuqian Harbor this time does have the intention of attacking us!" Yan Zheng leaned back in his chair a little tired and said.

After hearing this, the four company commanders all set their eyes on a map drawn by Yan Zheng.

This is the overall map of Dongfan Island drawn by Yan Zheng according to his memory, with Zhuqian Port as a reference, and the various locations are roughly marked on it.

"They have a lot of boats, and if you depart from there, you can reach Salt Harbor in one day!" Riki added.

"If the Yan'an River goes upstream, it won't be far, which means that in about two days, they will be able to threaten Mo City!" Ansan also analyzed.

Yan Zheng sighed, pointed at Mo Cheng with a teaching stick and said, "If the enemy really arrives in Mo City, it means that we need to evacuate the people outside Mo City before we dare to fight with them!" What is certain is that we will not be able to hold the salt port, and even if we do, we will have to pay a great price! ”

"So my idea is two, one is to send troops directly, let's go to Beidaihe by land, and then occupy a commanding height outside the Zhuqian Port, as long as the artillery positions are arranged there, we can condescendingly bombard them."

"The disadvantage of this plan is that the logistical pressure is too great, firearms are not as good as knives and guns, and after we finish the shells and gunpowder, there will be no artillery support! But under a round of artillery bombardment, it will definitely cause panic, we will stick to the high ground after a round, and if they don't attack, we will continue to bombard! ”

"As long as they dare to take the high ground, we can use the advantage of pre-setting the battlefield in advance to kill and injure them as much as possible! In this way, they can destroy their living force as much as possible at the lowest cost! And if necessary, we can fight and withdraw quickly! ”

Zhang Sanfeng listened carefully and felt that this strategy should be considered optimal, so he continued: "This plan is indeed the best, and I also think that we should take the initiative to go out and fight around Mocheng, just destroying the fertile land is a big loss." And as soon as the war starts, who knows when it will stop, and once the salt port falls, we will reduce the import of a large amount of materials. ”

Anai also nodded and said: "It makes sense, according to the experience of previous battles, often a surprise attack, as long as enough young and strong enemies are eliminated, then the enemy's remaining strength is not to be feared!"

"And what about the other idea?"

"Another idea is to withdraw from Yangang, show the enemy weakness, and deploy defenses along the river! After the enemy enters the river, it will be harassed layer by layer! Place the final battle in Meoc! Taking advantage of our familiarity with Meaux, we can not only rely on the forts, but also the layout of these dwellings can actually play a defensive role! ”

Yan Zheng smiled and said: "As long as the enemy comes in, it will be gnawed layer by layer, and our fort has no logistical pressure, so it can be suppressed almost all the time." Each room can be used as a place to defend, allowing the enemy to lose the offensive advantage to the greatest extent! ”

"The disadvantage is that it is too expensive, not only to stop the import of materials from the salt port, but also to be vigilant, and to delay the production activities in Meaux! It is costly, but it can reduce the casualties and risks of soldiers! ”

After hearing this, several company commanders fell silent.

Yan Zheng is also very entangled, if Lu Wan, a "philosopher", is here, I am afraid that he can give him a little inspiration!

"I think it's better to go over! Past experience has taught me that you can't wait for the enemy to attack you, it's about handing over how the battle will be carried out to your enemy! An San looked at Yan Zhengdao.

Yan Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it when the cannon fodder arrives!" To be honest, the stall is big, there are not enough talents, and I'm really afraid of losing the only elite now! ”

Yan Zheng is now finally realizing that his territory is still in a very rough stage.

The impact of the lack of talent was that he had to constantly resettle immigrants around Meaux.

This is because if you are close, you can enjoy the benefits of the development of Meaux, at least there is no endless dense forest around it.

But the downside of being close is that this expansion is very slow, and it is like a pancake, with Meaux as the center, and it spreads out continuously.

In the face of potential threats this time, it was fully exposed, and there were no drawbacks of multiple base areas.

If he had established a military base along the North Belt River earlier, the situation would have been much easier today.

As for the two operational ideas proposed this time, he himself is more inclined to fight out, after all, concentrating troops and destroying the enemy's vital forces as much as possible is a very important point in the instructor's military philosophy.

The instructor was a man who did not like to fight purely positional and defensive warfare, and he believed that the purpose of military operations was, in the final analysis, to disarm the enemy.

Therefore, the primary purpose of war is not to gain or lose in a certain place, but to fully seize the opportunity to destroy as many enemies as possible and change the balance of forces between the enemy and us.

It's just that the problem that Yan Zheng is facing now is that logistics supply is too difficult!

In particular, if you are using firearms, you will have to carry gunpowder and shells.

To launch a surprise attack, it would take at least 2,000 troops to attack in order to inflict heavy losses on the entrenched enemy with a single blow.

It is most convenient to go to sea by boat, but there are not enough boats, and once they are discovered, they must prepare to bury their families at sea.

By land, it is necessary to be ready to mobilize more than half of the manpower of the whole city of Mexico, and carry all the supplies to the designated place on their shoulders.

He wanted to build a chicken bus to increase the volume of transportation, but he was faced with the situation that the road conditions did not allow it!

The only reliable animal power he had was three oxen and five donkeys.

As soon as this economic account was settled, Yan Zheng understood the value and preciousness of peace.
