Chapter 049

"Bang Bang ......"

With the sound of the whip on his body, Cheng Shijie woke up in the RV, this kind of splicing RV is his most satisfying invention.

In order to protect against the cold, the carriage parts were covered with cowhide and sheepskin, and the cowhide was dismantled from under the cowhide armor captured by the Qin Fifth Division, which lost its defensive function due to too many dilapidated places. And glue the ox to the outer layer of the carriage, and then fix it with nails, which has both the effect of protecting against cold and arrows. As for the back room, sheepskin with wool is used.

The junction between the carriage and the carriage adopts a concealed buckle structure, and even a trace of wind cannot blow in. The weather at the end of the Ming Dynasty is still very different from that of later generations, in late September of later generations, the sun is still shining, and the heat is unbearable. However, in late September at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was already very cold.

Cheng Shijie pushed open the window of the RV and looked at the puddle of water on the ground, which had turned into a crystal clear, which meant that the temperature outside was at least below zero.

"Bang Bang ......"

"Didn't eat? Force, that's it. ”

Cheng Shijie found that Zhang Huairen, the three mountains of this town, was really a ruthless person.

In all fairness, Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu, the two righteous sons, carried out Cheng Shijie's orders very resolutely. This beating, whipping and biting meat, now Zhang Huairen has no skin.

Finally, Cheng Shijie found the problem.

The more Cheng Shi and Cheng Hu beat Zhang Huairen, the more excited Zhang Huairen became, and there was no pain on his face, but as if he was enjoying it.

Could this thing be a masochist?

Zhang Huairen stared at Cheng Shijie and said, "If you are smart, you let me go, and my son will not die around you!" ”

"Who gave you the courage?"

Cheng Shijie said: "Cheng Shi! ”

"Father-in-law!"

"Take a bucket, add a spoonful of salt, and add some spice to him!"

Although the weather is getting colder and colder, the production of Ning Haijun's salt factory will definitely be seriously affected, but the problem is not too big, anyway, it is consumed by themselves, there are fifty or sixty thousand catties of salt in the warehouse of Ning Hai City, which is enough for them to eat for more than a year. Salt is an essential source of energy for the human body, requiring at least five grams per day.

Cheng Shi found a wooden bucket, and then according to Cheng Shijie's order, poured a spoonful of salt into half a bucket of water, and then stuffed the leather whip into the water to soak for a while.

"Smack......

As the leather whip of the material slapped on Zhang Huairen's body, his face changed dramatically in an instant, and he twitched in pain: "Cheng ...... Generation...... Jie, Lao Tzu wants to ...... Will you ...... Shredded corpses...... 10,000 paragraphs! ”

"Sure enough, there is a kind!"

"You will regret it, surnamed Cheng, you will regret it!"

Cheng Shijie said lightly: "Don't let him die, let's play slowly!" ”

Cheng Shijie had breakfast and summoned the officers and men of the Ning Navy to give a lecture.

Of course, the purpose of training is actually to sum up experience and reflect. In later generations, PLA was the legend of the world's army, but the quality of soldiers in this army was actually the lowest in the world, and at the beginning of the army, 95 percent of the soldiers were illiterate. In particular, the growth rate is also very impressive.

Cheng Shijie has read a book called Learning from PLA. The key to PLA's growth and development is to be good at concentrating the strength of the team and summarizing problems. In each battle, the gains and losses will be analyzed intensively. In short, it is to sum up experience and self-criticism. Reflect on mistakes and avoid repeating them.

In this good tradition, they defeated the most powerful armies in the world, even with backward equipment.

The essence of war has been developing for more than 2,000 years, and it is no longer about who is smarter, but about who makes fewer mistakes.

"Stand upright, take a break."

Cheng Shijie said: "Ladies and gentlemen, in yesterday's battle, we achieved a good record, we beheaded two hundred and three levels and captured nineteen people. However, in the course of the battle, a lot of problems were also exposed, so please tell us about the problems you found! ”

"Report!"

Cheng Shijie watched more than a dozen soldiers raise their hands, and his gaze fell on Liu Qingsong. 、

"Liu Qingsong, speak!"

"Yes!"

Liu Qingsong got up and said: "Our soldiers are too nervous, yesterday in the battle of the riverside array, the archers and crossbow shooters, the arrows were released too early, the crossbows were released in one hundred and fifty steps, ninety percent of the arrows were missed, and the firecrackers, the first round of firecrackers were also too early, they were all empty, they should be put closer!" ”

"Very good, record it!"

Cheng Shijie said: "Is there anyone else you want to add?" ”

"Report!"

"Liu Ning, you speak!"

"Yes!"

Liu Ning got up and said: "Our equipment is not good, we are sentry, there is an archer who broke his bow arm when shooting an arrow, and broke two teeth...... Also, the quality of our gun is not good, Han Shun's spear stabbed the other party, but the barrel of the gun broke, but was killed by the enemy, if it wasn't for Zhang Wenxuan's mending knife, Han Shun would be gone! ”

"Some of us were instigated, and when they shot out, they actually closed their eyes."

"Also, I saw Wang Wu urinating!"

After half an hour of reflection and summarizing dozens of various problems, Cheng Shijie said: "It is not your fault to fall once in one place, and falling twice in the same place and the same pit means that you do not learn the lessons of the previous time." This time, the person who asked the question was rewarded with a pound of meat, hoping that the soldiers would learn a lesson and carry forward their experience in the next battle. ”

"Yes!"

"Attack!"

The biggest difference between Zhangzhuang Village and ordinary villages is that the "villagers" of this village are very wealthy, and from a distance, almost the entire village is a complex of blue bricks and gray tiles. The outer part of the village is an adobe wall about one zhang high, and the whole village has two exits, one south and one north.

When Cheng Shijie arrived at the entrance of the village with the officers of the Ning Navy, he found that about one or two hundred men with spears or waist knives appeared on the wall of the village.

"What do you mean, general?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Bring it up!" ”

More than a dozen prisoners, including the scarred Zhang Huairen.

Looking at Zhang Huairen and the bandits beside him, the young men in the village exchanged heads and talked about each other.

"Listen to the people inside, you usually pretend to be good citizens, but in fact you are soil, robbing past merchants, robbing people's daughters, the evidence is conclusive, you will be captured, this general Naer and others will go to Dengzhou Mansion to be tried, if you resist stubbornly, you will be killed!"

With Cheng Shijie's order, the officers and men of the Ning Navy lined up in a neat formation, holding spears or shields, and shouted as they advanced: "Capture with your hands tied, capture with your hands tied!" ”

Listening to the uniform voices, the bandits looked depressed and emboldened. In particular, the gaze of Admiral Ning was a little scary.

When Cheng Shijie was enforcing the military regulations, there was obviously a loophole, he caught the prisoner and did not reward him, but the beheading could reward the field and silver, which made them very eager for the head.

In fact, almost all the Ning Navy soldiers did not hope that these bandits would surrender, but that they would resist. As the soldiers of the Ning Navy approached the village step by step, the archers, firecrackers, and even the three-door tiger squat cannon and the six-door bowl-mouth gun also directly advanced to a distance of more than 100 steps in the village, and began to load gunpowder and scattered bullets, preparing to attack.

At the moment when the artillery was about to ignite, the gate of the village gate slowly opened, and the bandits inside held a white flag: "General, military master, don't fight, we surrender!" ”

"Descend mother!"

"Dare not coward!"

"That's it, what kind of bandit!"

"Straight girl!"

"Bad luck!"

In front of the Ning Navy, there was a sound of scolding.

However, Cheng Shijie is very satisfied with the bloodless occupation of Zhangzhuang, what else can he ask for if he can ransack the bandits' old lair without being dead?

Soon, Ning Haijun gathered all the bandits in the village, and after counting, there were 239 of these bandits, most of them were young and strong, almost no old and weak, but there were more than 140 women in the village, and these women were all snatched by bandits.

Cheng Shijie looked at these women and sighed long: "Register your hometown, let them help us cook a meal, make more cakes and steamed buns, and let them return to their hometown with dry food!" ”

Song Xiance lowered his voice and said, "Lord, it's best not to do this!" ”

"Why?"

Song Xiance smiled bitterly: "They were robbed by bandits, and their reputation was ruined, and if they returned home, it would harm them, their mother's family would not take them in, and their in-laws would not take them in...... They either hang themselves or jump into the river, and there is only one way to die! ”

"Grass!"

Cheng Shijie couldn't help but burst out foul language, the weaker the dynasty, the more attention is paid to these so-called famous festivals, such as the so-called chaste archway, which is a mottled history of blood and tears.

Cheng Shijie summoned these women, he looked at these women and said: "This general is Cheng Shijie, the garrison of the Ning Navy, and now he has captured the bandit leader town of Sanshan, and now you are free." ”

When they heard the words "free", the women present wept. However, after a while, some of the women seemed to think of something, and they became very nervous.

"What are your plans?"

The women were submissive and a little overwhelmed.

"General Ben has a plan, listen to it!"

Cheng Shijie said: "If you are willing to return home, General Ben will prepare ten catties of cakes for each of you, and you will keep them for food on the road, if you are not willing to go home, then follow General Ben, General Ben has a quilt factory and a textile factory in the Ning Navy, which are full of female workers, and you can live by yourself with your own hands!" ”

"Please take it in, Shogun!"

Of course, not all women were willing to follow Cheng Shijie, one hundred and twenty-seven of them were willing to go to Ninghai City, and nineteen of them were willing to go home.

Just when everyone was having a full meal in Zhangzhuang Village, Song Xiance also roughly counted the seizures this time, and more than 50,000 catties of cotton were seized, which was simply a relief in the snow for Ning Haijun.

These cotton came too timely, the weather was getting colder and colder, and the officer of the Ning Navy needed cotton clothes and thick bedding, and if he didn't have this cotton, he would need to spend at least a hundred thousand taels of silver to buy so much cotton.

In addition to the more than 50,000 catties of cotton, there are also 73 cows and 19 calves, a total of 92 cows. Forty-five mules, thirty-five horses.

What's more critical is that the grain reserves are more than Qin Wu, and there are more than 9,000 stone wheat, more than 1,300 stone beans, more than 500 stone miscellaneous grains, and more than 16,000 cabbages in the grain warehouse in Zhensanshan, almost more than 200,000 catties.

Not including the 3,000 jars of sour cabbage that have been pickled, it can be said that this battle alone will allow Ning Haijun to live a big fat year.

PS: Well, there's another chapter later.
