Everyone was in a state of excitement for two days in a row, and this battle was not small! The enemy left more than 230 corpses and more than 420 captured.

In particular, Zhao Jingzi's beheading of Hou Bao and Dou San'er's capture of the mountain leopard Chen Dingxing are two prominent major events, which are after Feng San's killing of Captain Zhu and Heimu's beheading of You Sanjiang, there is once again a famous leader surnamed General Colonel was killed and arrested.

Although after the counting of all units, the defenders also had 27 killed and more than 60 wounded. Even though it was not completed, the effect of the defensive wall was affirmed by all the officers and commanders of the regimental training.

Over the next few days, the fortifications were repaired, the pace of construction was noticeably accelerated, and almost all of them worked overtime without complaint.

Not only have the walls in the south, west, and north directions been completed, but also the Dongguan wall of Fengqi Pass has also been completed, and the Xiguan wall has quickly entered the foundation stage.

With the help of the captives, the speed of construction on the west mountain has also been much faster, and hundreds of surrounding villagers have also joined the construction team with confidence when they heard that the official army had won a great victory.

Zhu Erye's engineering team has more than 300 people, and he has also used the seized weapons to form a 70-member prisoner guard team to be responsible for detention full-time.

The rain that had accumulated in the sky finally fell, and it lasted for two days. Fortunately, there were already houses and stables built on the west hill, and the goods, horses, and wounded were housed, but the tarpaulins brought were becoming more and more insufficient.

Li Dan wore a hat and a robe, and walked barefoot in the rain and mud. Kuroki and Mao Tsai were always by their side.

"Kuroki, my injured brother is bitter, and I feel uncomfortable." 李丹 says:

"Although this mountain is deserted, there must be a healer, you can send two brothers to find it. I don't think it's a matter for Master Ba and Wu Maocai to be busy here all day, after all, I still have a lot of things to discuss with them. ”

"Okay." Kuroki replied, and said: "When I was in Lingyan Temple before, Little Master Xingwu was very good at treating the wounded with Mr. Wu, or we would invite him, but fortunately, there are not many roads." ”

"Well, this can be considered, but you must respect your own thoughts, and you can't use force." Li Dan nodded:

"I brought some gold, silver, and jewels from the things seized, and said that I gave them to the temple with joy. Master Tongzhi used it to decorate Buddha statues or build temples and houses, in short, it can be used. By the way, bring another thirty catties of rice to them, there should not be much left from the last time. ”

After Li Dan finished speaking, he suddenly stopped, tilted his head in place and thought for a while, then turned his head to Mao Zai and said:

"You take ten taels of silver, and take a carriage to the surrounding households to collect rice wine, as long as the wine is good, as much as you want!"

"Huh?" The two of them were stunned for a moment, and they didn't know why he turned to the wine all of a sudden. After looking at each other and catching up, Kuroki preemptively said:

"Eh, defense, I think Master Xingwu is also a child, so it's appropriate to ask Ah Mao to go to the temple. It takes strength to collect wine, what do you think of me and him? ”

"Not good!" Brother Mao made a grimace: "Just like you, you come to collect wine, others say that Yu Di comes to the door, and it's too late to hide." The defense has ordered the subordinates to do it immediately, and take their leave! As he spoke, he arched his hand and ran away first.

"Try to choose a good wine with a high concentration!" Li Dan shouted behind him.

"Oh, look at this kid, when there is a good thing, he grabs it faster than anyone else, and usually pretends to be a good rabbit!" Kuroki looked angry and bent down to pick up a large lump of mud from under the bigfoot and threw it on the side of the road.

"Defense, what do you want to do with that lot of wine, but because of the rain and cold for days, you want your brothers to drink some to warm up?" Kuroki asked.

"It's one thing to let everyone drink something, but it's more important to make medicinal wine." Li Dan told him:

"The sake is steamed, the steam is collected to form a high-purity sake, and the alcohol is brought out from the inside. Alcohol can reduce inflammation, prevent redness and swelling, inhibit the production of maggots, and can also disinfect and remove the disease contaminated on knives, saws, needles, and pliers. ”

Seeing Kuroki's eyes widen, Li Dan laughed: "I didn't expect it, right? Being able to extract such a good thing from sake can have unusual benefits for people.

In fact, many things that usually seem inconspicuous to us may be of greater use, as long as we observe more and pay attention to thinking, we can find a lot.

For example, you have seen farmers digging taro from ponds, and most people cut the taro into pieces or steamed or stir-fried. But what if you think about it differently?

The taro is peeled and mashed, ground finely, dried, and then ground finely and sifted, it becomes taro flour, which can be added to tapioca flour or flour kneaded into various pastries, and can also be squeezed into taro vermicelli to dry and store, in case there is no rice at home to eat, and the taste of the vermicelli is not the same.

Lo and behold, as long as you try a taro, you can make a lot of new things in different ways, and new things mean new uses, new businesses, new experiences for users, or new feelings. ”

At this time, they walked into the thatched-roof pavilion on the south mountainside, which was the place where Zhang Cymbal was spanked by Song Xiaoniu last time, and now there are two guard posts here, and they continue to be vigilant after seeing them come to salute.

Li Dan sat down to rest, and also beckoned the guards behind him to come in and hide from the rain, while continuing to say to Kuroki:

"There is no one in the world who dictates how something can only be used, and the methods are all thought up by people.

For example, the soap horn, the woman took it to wash, and when someone saw that the seeds were slippery, they wondered if they could use it in medicine or eat, and tried it effectively, so they used it to apply hemorrhoids externally, swelling and pain, and take them internally to moisten the intestines and laxative.

This is the new feeling and new convenience brought by the different uses of the same thing.

If future generations have to stick to the rules, Cangjie can't make words, Du Kang can't make wine, Gaotao has to let his descendants eat rice with their hands, and Luban can't afford to build a pavilion, so we all have to be drenched in the rain! With that, he took off his hat and shook the water.

The crowd listened amusefully and laughed. Kuroki scratched the back of his neck and said, "We don't have a high level of knowledge like Saburo, as long as you say how to do and what to do, Kuroko will do it!" ”

Li Dan looked up at him with a smile and said, "I was about to talk to you about something." After we transport the baggage into Shangrao, the task will be completed, and I plan to send you to accompany Mr. Wu back to Guangdong. ”

"Oh? But what's the point? ”

"Not really." Li Dan waved his hand and asked him to sit down as well, saying, "When Mr. Wu used to live in Guangzhou, he knew several Taixi people, and among these people were monks, healers, soldiers, and sailors.

I would like to ask Mr. Wu to take them to my house, so that I can consult them about Tessie's affairs and learning at any time.

I don't feel at ease when my husband walks alone, so I'm going to let you accompany me. You may choose two of the men from the front camp or the guards who are clever and bold enough to accompany you. ”

"Understood. It's just ......," Kuroki grinned, "I'm reluctant to leave the defense." ”

Li Dan laughed, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, when you come back, it is estimated that the battle is over, and we can meet again at the manor."

You remember, of course, you have to protect Mr. Wu when you go this time, on the other hand, he is responsible for finding the Taixi people, and you have to deal with the Mu people from the south more.

I need someone who can read and write Chinese, and even better if I have books, maps, and charts!

The other is craftsmen, blacksmiths, weapons, farming, animal husbandry, medicine, and ...... A person who understands the mining and smelting of various ores.

We have a lot of mines in the mountains, and after the battle, the mining will not decrease, but will become more and more prosperous.

I have heard that there are skilled iron craftsmen among the Muslims who are able to make a type of 'Damascus' steel, which is said to be made with knives that cut iron like clay. You should pay attention to whether there are talents in this area after you pass.

The Son of Heaven was in charge of the government, and I saw that trade, road construction, and city repairs would bring a lot of demand for tools, carriages, and so on. So we need people, especially people who understand Tessie's skills and device manufacturing. You get the idea? ”

"Kuroki will live up to the trust, please rest assured!" Kuroki slammed his fist into his heart.

On this day, Li Biao and Chen Sanwen came with the latest carriage, which surprised Li Dan very much.

It turned out that he received the prisoners who were escorted back, and later heard that the officers and soldiers who sent You Sanjiang and Captain Zhu back said that there was a fight in Lingyan Temple, and Geyang was very happy, and even Xing'an County was very happy to learn that he had escaped.

Han Shoubei has the credit of commanding Ruoding, and this promotion and promotion will never be able to run away!

On the one hand, he arranged for the report to be successful, and on the other hand, he brought Chen Sanwen, who was left behind, to inform him of the situation, and finally agreed that he would bring more than 50 newly trained regimental trainers and a team of officers and soldiers to supplement and assist.

It happened that Li Biao was in a panic when he came from Yugan with a new car, so he joined the team. They saw that the water released by Zhou Qin had receded along the way, and they happened to escape the heaviest rain after successfully arriving at Lingyan Temple.

As soon as the rain turned light, Chen Sanwen couldn't wait to hurry again. They brought the wine and more than 30 sheep sent by Han Shoubei, as well as letters of encouragement to Sheng Huaien.

While Li Dan was reading the letter at Sheng Huaien, he accidentally found Wu Saburo dodging behind the crowd. Originally, Wu Saburo was about to go back, and the soft grinding and hard bubble also followed.

"Come on, come on, just because I don't have the manpower to use it." Li Dan asked Wu Saburo to go to Xishan to take charge of the materials, the custody of the seizures, the preparation and distribution of records.

I chose a dozen lightly injured ones, and while recuperating from his injuries, I helped him do some guarding and guarding things, and to put it bluntly, he was the treasury manager.

The fifty men who came with them were added to the front battalion and the convoy to replace the wounded and the dead, and the rest remained in the Chinese army for the time being.

Li Biao took over the work of taking care of the livestock with more than 20 or a little older and seven or eight local laborers, which was regarded as completely freeing Zhu Erye and allowing him to concentrate on the project.

After this battle, Song Xiaoniu's pacification team expanded to three she, and the third shi was specifically responsible for the management of the prisoner camp, and ten teams of prisoners were assigned to different places every day to work and then brought back.

Of course, the unconvinced and the evil ones have been cleared after being screened, and some of them have been picked up everywhere to supplement, and there are nearly a thousand people who have been captured by Rao, so Song Xiaoniu has a headache.

There were only sixty guards, and he was under a lot of pressure, so he came to Li Dan to complain.

Li Dan laughed when he heard this, and Song Xiaoniu said anxiously: "Thousands of people, my defense lord, this is not a trick!" What is the use of these 60 or 70 people in case of a disturbance? ”

"Why don't you think they've run away now?" Li Dan asked suddenly.

Song Xiaoniu was stunned: "Why?" You are now serving three meals a day, and there will be fish and shrimp the next day, all of them are white and fat, and only fools can escape! ”

"Have you forbade them to sleep, or let them sleep in the rain, or have you forbade them to heal the wounded among them?"

"No, the hut they built themselves, the grass is thick on the top, and the bamboo bed is sturdy underneath. All the wounded soldiers were treated by Master Ba and Mr. Wu along with our wounded. ”

"That's it, since they eat well, sleep well, and don't worry about injuries, why should they run away? Could it be that someone is so cheap, I'd rather go back and eat only two meals and maybe lose my head, rather than live a leisurely life here? ”

"Well, maybe there is, but most of them have their heads off now."

"That's right!" Li Dan saw that Song Xiaoniu was laughing himself, so he gave him an analysis:

"At the beginning, I said that I would treat the captured and wounded soldiers and give the prisoners the same three meals as us, but none of you understand, but now you can see why, right?

One more man among them has one more thief's power; One more person here, the stronger my strength will be. Song Xiaoniu nodded as if he had realized.

"By the way, are there any authoritative leaders among the captives?"

"There are a few. I heard that he was born as a foreman in an iron mine, and his prestige in the miners is not low, and he is taller than you! ”

Li Dan was surprised when he heard this: "How did such a man become a prisoner?" ”

"The first time we fought with Hua Arm, he was the leader of the right wing, and then the team collapsed, he didn't escape, and took dozens of subordinates to his knees with weapons in their hands."

Song Xiaoniu said: "At that time, it was the thin King Kong who went out to be surrendered, and muttered that this person was actually quite capable of fighting, but he surrendered for some reason." ”

"I remember." Li Dan narrowed his eyes and nodded:

"On that day, the left flank and the middle of the flower arm were defeated, and I saw that the right flank retreated quite neatly, and then it was outflanked by the rear camp before it was messed up. At that time, I was surprised, did he turn out to be the right-wing commander? ”

"Yes, his position is the head of the sentry, and he has 300 men under his command, half of whom are his descendants, and there are 60 or 70 people who have fallen into our hands.

These people are very good at managing the iron, they have never made trouble, said strange things, and worked hard.

Zhu Erye said that Sun Tie also gave him an idea, using bamboo and wood to make a commonly used mechanism in mines, using livestock to drive gears on the river bank, and people pouring soil below, and the agency continuously lifted the soil to the top. The end is time-saving and labor-saving! ”

"He's going to do this?" Li Dan became interested: "Go, go, go and see, I can't wait to see this person." ”

A person with prestige, who has led the team, and creative thinking was thrown in the prisoner camp, Li Dan felt that this was not a waste.

He couldn't wait to get a look at this man, to see if he could influence the other captives and speed up the process of digesting them.

Some people died, but not completely......
