"This time we went to the Loess Fortress, not only did we use up the thousands of households in Lin and Zhou Baihu, but also the batch of silver they bought for the Tartar heads and war horses.

The silver and gold I brought with me were basically clean, but now my pockets are cleaner than my face. ”

While smoking a horn cigarette rolled into shredded cigarettes, Yang Dongliang's voice sounded in the unmanned kitchen.

Zhang Xiuniang, this woman is also quite clever, and she took several other women out early, so that they have a safe environment to talk.

As for those tobacco, Yang Dongli, who had long been out of grain and grass, bought them back in Loess Fort.

Don't talk about it! The quality of these tobacco shreds is average, but the price is not cheap at all; Half a pound of tobacco cost him two taels of silver.

It is said that after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he sternly opposed smoking.

It was decreed that the cultivation and sale of tobacco was prohibited, and violators were beheaded for public display; As a result, I dared to farm and continue to plant, but the price began to rise.

Fortunately, half a pound of tobacco is enough for a group of old smoking guns to burn like a chimney for a considerable period of time.

", that's thousands of silver, I'm afraid it's almost a hundred catties in total, and it's used up?"

After hearing this, Hu Biao, after rolling a horn for himself, couldn't help but curse such a sentence hatefully in his mouth.

But he also knew that the money had to be spent, and the question was whether it was worth it.

After thinking of such a point, Hu Biao couldn't even bother to eat the meal that had just arrived in his hand, and began to listen attentively to the report of Yang Dongli and others.

Because the things they brought back are related to whether they can hold Suifengdun, and the life and death of the remaining 20 or so netizens......

"I asked Zhou Baihu about the military households that came over, and he said that there was no problem, but it would take more than ten days for those military households to be in place.

So these people, we don't have to count on them.

This time we went to Loess Fort, we brought back three blacksmiths and four of their apprentices, and pulled some of their commonly used blacksmithing tools with carts.

Therefore, the 600 catties of pig iron and 500 catties of coke we bought this time must be enough to make a large number of iron thistles and pears, as well as some armor pieces, masks and other equipment.

This kind of thing, such as the iron thistle, as long as it is scattered with a trebuchet after the fight, must be able to delay the tartar's charging speed.

There are also craftsmen with five cowhides and four armor; With the cooperation of the blacksmith, they were able to repair all the armor.

There are also three stonemasons who can strengthen the defenses of Suifeng Fort in some key locations.

Because of our limited numbers, and the last time we seized a lot of weapons and armor from the Tartars, I did not buy any more weapons; I bought some chain mail, leather armor and cotton armor and came back, which can basically reach the level of one person with two armors.

500 arrows were also bought, and two three-eyed guns were returned, which could be regarded as long-range firepower supplements.

Originally, in the Ethics Officer's warehouse in Loess Fort, I could buy a larger number of bird guns, but when I looked at the quality of those things, it seemed to be a little too bad.

I didn't know if I didn't put down the Tartar as soon as I opened the fire, and I blew up the bore first and put it down for myself, so I didn't buy it back.

It's a pity that the system gives too little time, otherwise I asked the blacksmiths who are considered to be the craftsmen of the Loess Fort, and they said that the bird gun that does not blow up the chamber is actually very simple, and there are no technical problems.

It's nothing more than being willing to use iron, and it's good to use solid labor, and one person, one handful a month, can also be carefully built.

Don't think about the cannon, the loess fort is only a small place under Datong Town, and it is a military household guard, and the soldiers are not serious border troops, and there are only 6 small cannons in the entire loess fort.

As long as the silver is in place, it is not impossible to get it, but the key problem is that we don't have enough silver.

However, I saw more than a dozen 10,000 enemies in the warehouse, a few rockets nicknamed 'a swarm of bees', these old-fashioned gunpowder weapons, I bought them all back at an inexpensive price.

It's a pity that I heard that the library manager said that these are all things that have been produced in Wanli for more than 20 years.

It's been in the warehouse for 30 years, and I really don't know if it can be used now, and what the effect is.

In addition, I bought two small barrels of gunpowder, two barrels of fire oil, three large bags of lime powder, and a large and small cart of jars and jars.

Let's stop talking about it, look at these things, and see what can be made. ”

After listening to the above statement, Hu Biao said:

"There's nothing to think about, I think everyone's suggestions in the last summary meeting are very good, just give those things that were discussed to DIY one by one.

Plainly! All the equipment and city defense means are just auxiliary, and in the end, someone must dare to use it, and it will depend on human life to fight here. ”

Under Hu Biao's statement, everyone nodded one after another.

And at such a time, as if after remembering something, Xu Feng opened his mouth and said: "Lao Hu, this mission must be passed."

When I was in Loess Fort, Lao Yang gave me 50 taels of silver to buy antiques.

After wandering around the two pawnshops, I bought some porcelain, although it was from the folk kiln, but it should be quite valuable when I go back; There are also some jade objects, all of which are small pieces, but they are in quite good condition.

Anyway, as long as everyone can go back alive, it can be said that the salted fish will turn over; What club, what that, it's just idle. ”

Under such a statement, not only Hu Biao suddenly came to the spirit, but his heart was full of courage.

One of the other netizens present is counted as one, and it is also full of desire to fight.

Xu Feng opened his mouth and asked again: "Such a good news, do you want to tell other rookies?" It also gives them a lift. ”

"Forget it, let's complete the second phase of the mission." After thinking about it for a while, Hu Biao said this......

******

As Lao Yang and the others spent all the money on hand, they returned with a large number of materials and craftsmen.

The large-scale construction and production here in Suifengdun have entered the highest speed level.

From the afternoon of the same day, that is, the last three and a half days before the second stage of this mission, a group of netizens made some final preparations.

With the input that they almost lost their pants, everything was very smooth.

Every day passes, Sui Fengdun's appearance has changed significantly, and I am afraid that Xie Gui, the former armor leader, will come back and be a little unrecognizable.

All kinds of DIY city defense equipment have also been produced in batches.

Then, under the theoretical guidance of netizens and the actual operation of craftsmen, they were arranged to the relevant positions one by one; Each time one is installed, the defense of the wind pier will be much stronger.

Even in the middle of their busy schedules, the training of the rookies has not been left behind.

In their training subjects, they even conducted an afternoon of equestrian training, so that the rookies could basically ride horses without falling off.

This is what Hu Biao and other old birds are planning, once the time is up, in case the Tartars have not retreated, then everyone will ride war horses to break through.

Finally, when the time came to 4 o'clock in the afternoon of the penultimate day.

Amid the cheers of Jiang Laohan and others, a two-mile-long temporary small canal was finally dug through.

Suddenly, a clear river flowed slowly along the canal towards the ditch that surrounded the Suifeng pier.

Although the current is not strong and fast, it can fill the trench in a whole night's work.

And because of Jiang Laohan and others, under the wages that are not deducted at all, and there is an unexpectedly good food supply.

These people have exerted their staggering enthusiasm for labor.

Originally, Hu Biao stipulated that when they were in the morning, they would start work at 7 o'clock in the morning, eat and rest for half an hour at noon, and finish work at 7 o'clock in the evening.

Such an 11-hour working time is actually quite unscrupulous in the modern plane.

After all, this is heavy physical labor, and it is impossible for them to participate in it for 8 hours.

But these people, when the sky was shiny, they had already brought their own tools to Suifeng Dun, urging Hu Biao and them to start work.

At noon, I usually put down my fast son and began to work.

What to take a break, just full and can't do strenuous activities, how can there be so much broken and exquisite.

In the evening, after the sky is completely dark, it is necessary to do it for a while; That enthusiasm for labor can almost make Mr. Ma in the modern plane move to tears.

Thanks to their efforts, this moat-like trench is now just a moat.

It is four meters deep and three meters wide, which greatly exceeds the previous expectations of Hu Biao and others; At the bottom are dense spiky wooden sticks, and no one can climb out again after falling.

There are all kinds of traps, and the number is staggering.

In short, together with the work performance of those craftsmen, they far exceeded the expected requirements of Hu Biao and others.

And after this diversion canal is unblocked, Hu Biao's reinforcement project is now completely completed, and everything can be seen tomorrow Tartar will come to the door.
