Chapter 50: The Second Drill of Castle Weborg

"There is cement in these two Weiban, it is not difficult to build a city wall, I think their foundation has been almost built, and the city wall should be completed before October, and the second Weibao can accommodate more than 3,000 people by then." Ma Xingwang took a sip of wine and said.

"What then? I have to report it to Senhu as soon as possible. Chen Jian hurriedly said.

"How do you report it? How so? Does it mean that Erweibao has a full number of elites, or does he still have more than a hundred escorts?

Let Lord Qianhu give an order to Erweibao not to build the city wall, or will he report to the commander to eradicate Erweibao? Ma Xingwang asked.

Chen was stunned for a moment, he couldn't say a word, he always felt that the salt factory was Yao Qianhu's territory, and Yao Qianhu could do whatever he wanted, and even directly withdraw Su Ren.

But hearing Ma Xingwang's inquiry, he found that Yao Qianhu's control over the salt factory was not as big as he imagined, and if there was a conflict with Erweibao, Su Ren would be unlucky in the end, he didn't know, Yao Qianhu would definitely be unlucky.

"Master Ma, what should we do? You can't eat and drink well every day, let's live here!

Lord Yao asked them to get the cement formula, all this has to start from the salt factory, tomorrow when we participate in their drill, we will tell Su Ren Baihu to go to the salt factory. Chen Jian said.

"The salt factory is definitely going to go, and now Erweibao has not hidden anything from us, we will take a look at it when we have the opportunity, and it will be easier to report to Yao Qianhu when the time comes.

This Su Ren Su Ming brother wants to buy us, you may also be aware of it, the two of us are favored by the Lord of the Thousand Households, and we will definitely not bow our heads, and those soldiers may not be!

The soldiers have eaten well these days, it is not a way to go on like this, and it will be difficult for you to explain to Yao Qianhu at that time, after the drill is completed tomorrow, you will let the soldiers train more with the soldiers of Erweibao to find out their details. Although Ma Xingwang was a little shaken in his heart, he still looked towards Yao Qianhu.

Yao Qianhu's family is in the capital, and the relationship above is heavenly, and he has to rely on him to get rid of the stain on his body, so that he can hide in Erweibao for the rest of his life, he is unwilling, and he only has one son left now.

The two of them chatted until the evening, Chen Jian's mind changed a lot, and now he only wanted to find out everything in Erweibao and report to Yao Qianhu as soon as possible.

On the second day, Ma Xingwang got up early, thinking that Su Ming would clear him early to watch the drill, but Su Ming didn't come over until the inn brought breakfast.

After breakfast, he heard the maid say that the eighth master was coming, Ma Xingwang sorted out his clothes and went out of the yard, and he saw that Su Ming and Chen Jian had already led people to wait at the door.

"Master Ma, today's drill started with the landing of the Japanese invaders, mainly to test the retreat speed of the salt mill and the people of the ten villages outside the fort.

Today, except for the soldiers who play the role of the Japanese Invaders, no one else knows to conduct a drill, you may think that the real Japanese Invaders are coming, and I will take you to a hidden point later, where the terrain is high and you can basically see what can be improved from the landing of the Japanese Invaders to the salt factory workers, and the rapid transfer of the people outside the fort! Su Ming said and took the two out of Erweibao.

What should everyone do outside the fort, many children are still playing on the side of the road, which makes Ma Xingwang and Chen Jian sure that these people really don't know.

Su Ming led the people eastward, walked a few paths, and they climbed a small hill, where not only could they see everything in the salt factory, but they could also see it clearly within miles of the sea, and what the people of several nearby villages were doing.

"It's a good location and we plan to build a watchtower here in a while. When the time comes, as long as the pirates arrive and the watchtower sends a signal, the people will be able to retreat very quickly. Su Ming said.

Ma Xingwang was thinking about the role of this watchtower, and it was not difficult to build a watchtower with cement Erweibao. But Chen Jian felt that it was unnecessary, for the sake of those people, it was better to bribe thousands of adults with money to seek a future for himself.

When the people are gone, the world lacks everything, that is, there is no shortage of poor people. The future is his own, and with such strength as Erweibao, as long as he makes some more achievements, it is not difficult to improve his official position.

"Su Xiucai, what do those people do? They seem to have come from the direction of Jinshanwei Town. Chen Jian pointed to the gate of Erweibao, where about 20 people were pushing rooster carts, dragging their families and carrying flat burdens, and were negotiating with the members of the guards at the gate.

"It should be poor people from other places who came to work and saw that Erweibao could make money by working, and came to work."

Su Ming could only say this, the imperial court did not allow the movement of the population, he said that it was to take refuge in them, if this Chen Jian told Yao Qianhu the original words, wouldn't it become a handle.

Hearing Su Ming say this, Chen Jian and Ma Xingwang lost interest, these poor people are really very tenacious. Don't look at their poverty, they don't have a grain to eat, but there is always a way to get through. When they encounter a wronged boss like Erweibao, they not only take care of the food but also pay the wages, how can they let it go.

Chen Jian and Su Ming didn't have much to say, Ma Xingwang and Su Ming chatted about the construction plan outside Erweibao, and he deliberately asked some things about cement firing, and Su Ming basically didn't hide it except for the cement formula ratio.

Firing cement is also an experience, whether it is the ratio, firing heat and time, mixing and cooling, etc., need to be constantly summarized and improved, the cement Su Ming of Erweibao does not know how much effort has been wasted, and now he can burn the cement that he is more satisfied with, so even if someone is lucky that the cement formula is more correct, it is impossible to fire qualified cement.

The technicians responsible for firing cement are all descendants of the old soldiers of Erweibao, and they are the most loyal to the Su family. Su Ming gave them a month's worth of wages higher than all the soldiers, and they had no reason to give up Erweibao and go to others.

Even if all these people are bought, the key to firing the core of cement is to know its principle, otherwise at most, it can only burn the cement of Erweibao's current quality, and Su Ming has been improving the quality of Erweibao cement, and Su Ming is not afraid of competing with each other in the market in the future.

A group of thirteen people had been waiting here for nearly an hour, and Chen Jian and many of the soldiers were already waiting a little impatiently, and then they saw a few boats slowly approaching in the two miles south of the salt factory, and among them were some rafts, all of which were people wearing armor and weapons.

"Look, isn't it there?" Chen Jian asked, pointing to the ships on the beach that were already about to look at the shore.

Ma Xingwang dared to land when he saw a few broken ships and some rafts, and he didn't know if these people were pirates or the people Su Ming said about the drill, saying that it was a drill was not a process, this group of people also seemed too real, and they really logged in from the sea, you must know that the imperial court did not allow the guards to hide the ships privately, and all ships must be reported, if those people were really Erweibao drills, then they would have already leaked the handle to themselves.

"It seems that it should be the soldiers of Erweibao, but I didn't expect that the fifth brother made it quite similar, and it was not easy to find a ship to land more than a hundred people." Su Ming didn't seem to know that it would be illegal to hide a boat, and spoke.

"These more than 100 people are all the soldiers of Erweibao! How could Vesburg resist it. After Chen saw those boats docking, he left the boats and didn't care about it, and the formation was not very organized, so he led people to run quickly towards the salt farm.

At this time, the members of the escort patrolling the seaside finally saw someone landing, and he immediately shouted according to the rules and ran towards the salt factory.

The workers of the salt mill heard the news of the pirate landing, and under the organization of the foreman, they put down their tools and quickly ran in the direction of Erweiburg.

And the iron pillar and Su Zhe in the salt castle heard the news, and the iron pillar asked the nearby guards to notify the old six villages of Wei Zhuang, and on the other hand, let the second Wei Castle quickly. Su Qingping and Cao Chunrui led the soldiers to play the role of the Japanese and walked quickly, but the salt castle was not slow to react at all, with the salt castle order as a signal, it was just a cup of tea, and the entire Wei Zhuang office moved.

"This is a bit unfair, the owner of Su Qi and the owner of Cao Qi are very clear about the environment around the salt factory, and after they landed, they did not organize a formation and rushed directly to the salt factory, which gave the salt factory workers too little time to react." Chen Jian was not a layman, and he saw at a glance that Su Qingping and Cao Chunrui had taken a trick.

"Every time we train, everyone must go all out, and the performance determines the reward every month, although this soldier is a bit tricky, but it is not necessarily a bad thing to put more pressure on the workers and people." Su Ming explained.

"What are those people doing?" One of the soldiers saw five cavalrymen coming out of the salt pan, and they took short bows and headed for the "Japanese Kou" landing.

Su Zhe immediately heard that there was a Japanese colony, and he directly led four guards on duty in the salt field to ride in the direction of the Japanese landing.

While riding north, Su Zhe hung the short bow on his body and touched the pistol on his waist.

This time, if it was a drill, he would use bows and arrows to harass the enemy, buy time for the salt fort workers to retreat, and if it was a real Japanese landing, then he could use a pistol to buy more time for everyone, which he had practiced many times.

After Chen saw the arrival of the five cavalry of the Salt Fort, they shot at the "Japanese Invaders" from a distance, and the Japanese Invaders could not ignore them when they saw this, and stopped and quickly lined up to counterattack with bows and arrows.

There are hundreds of people in the "Wakos", and the target is large, so they can only raise their shields and slowly approach. The five cavalrymen fought and retreated, and their bows and arrows also inflicted a lot of damage on the enemy.

"Why did that cavalryman dismount and step aside?" Chen Jiangang shouted happy for the attack of the five cavalrymen, and he couldn't help but treat the "Japanese Invaders" in front of him as real Japanese Invaders, and there were a few people who did not hate the Wolves along the coast of the Ming Dynasty. And one of the cavalrymen who was fighting actually broke away from the battle and walked to the side of the road alone.
