Lou Dalang said beside him: "As far as I know, in the wilderness we acquired, there is not a single piece of land that belongs to General Fei, even if these fertile fields are owned by the leaders of the big and small armies, this General Fei has no benefit at all." www.biquge.info The reason why he proposed this repurchase was just that he didn't want the two sides to have a dispute because of this, so that life would be ruined. ”

Guo Dalu asked, "Does anyone know what the character of this Fei General is?"

Lou Dalang said: "General Fei's station is in the Tianshan Mountains, but I haven't heard of his soldiers disturbing the people, not long ago I heard a thing, that General Fei gathered widows, refugees, and maids from all over the world, and formed a women's battalion, on the way back to the Tianshan Mountains, many female soldiers were forcibly robbed by other Taibao's subordinates, for this reason, General Fei also had a quarrel with other Taibao. ”

Erniu listened to it next to her, and said strangely: "This Fei General, why do you want to organize a women's battalion, can women also be soldiers to fight, I thought that it was amazing for our female students from the science department to come out to do things, but I didn't expect this Fei General to let women also be soldiers." ”

Lou Dalang coughed: "That, Erniu girl, you don't understand the world, there are women in the barracks, it's just that they are not used to fight, but to let the soldiers do and do those bad things--"

The second girl still didn't understand, and the stupid big one was stunned and said: "Those women are all let the soldiers come to spoil them, obviously they are women's camps, but they are actually like girls." ”

Erniu's face turned red, and she stomped her feet and said, "This guy named Ye Fei is not a good person!" Brother Guo, you quickly lead someone to rescue the sisters in the women's camp, what kind of women's camp is it, it is clearly a fire pit!"

In fact, Lou Dalang, Silly Big Man, and Erniu all misunderstood, among the thirteen Taibao, there were indeed military leaders who forcibly abducted women from good civil families to be used as military actors, but Ye Fei was kind-hearted, he collected the poor women in the northwest, just to let them have a home, if the soldiers in his army fancy the female soldiers in the women's camp, they also need the consent of the female soldiers to marry before they can be carried home. It's just that the military leaders in the northwest have always had a very poor reputation, and even Ye Fei's reputation has been smeared.

Guo Dalu originally had a good impression of General Fei, who wrote a new-style letter, but when he heard that he was "forcing good people to advocate" and that this female battalion was like the "comfort women" of the Great Li Dynasty, he suddenly felt a bad feeling towards him in his heart, and he said with a calm face: "This letter is good, no matter how nice General Fei says on the surface, in fact, it is a war letter to our scientific subordinates on behalf of the military leader group in the northwest -- the 13th Taibao! Everyone said, can we hand over the well and land to them?"

The stupid big man took a step forward: "Never! Those military leaders are used to oppressing the people, and these hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and pasture are in their hands, but they are just tools they use to exploit and oppress the people, and the common people are tired and tired in the fields all their lives, and they can't support their families! Only when hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are in the hands of our scientific sect, can we really benefit the people by planting cotton beans and opening cotton spinning factories!"

Brother Hao, Lou Dalang, Xiong Chumei, Wang Deen and others also shouted: "That's right! This is our land, whoever dares to rob it, we will destroy them directly!"

Guo Dalu stood up: "The northwest land is a sub-base of my science gate--uh, no, it's a sub-foundation, hell, this is not a red police -- if we want to develop productive forces, we can't allow those military leaders to ride on the heads of the common people to do power." It's good now, we didn't ask them to settle the accounts of their oppression of the people over the years, they actually provoked us, it was really Tai Sui's head to break ground, I don't know whether to live or die!"

In fact, Guo Dalu has long been plotting against these military leaders, because the development of hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and the establishment of cotton spinning mills require a large amount of labor, and the young and strong people in the northwest are either forcibly pulled to be soldiers, or they have become serfs of large and small military leaders, and there is no personal freedom at all.

Brother Hao jumped up: "Brother Guo, I didn't say it, **** mother!"

There was a roar in the tent: "That's right!**** mother! Let this group of soil buns see the power of our science gate!"

Guo Dalu listened to the sound of a declaration of war, but at this time he calmed down, he slowly sat back on the stool, and said to everyone: "Our science gate, it is not that we have never fought with people before, and the thieves who are entangled with Yu Dazhong have moved, and the demons and monsters in the Fengshen Mountain have moved, but when we confront the army on the battlefield, it is the first time that the eldest girl gets on the sedan chair. Lou Dalang, do you know that Ye Fei is in the Thirteenth Taibao, what is the military strength?"

Lou Dalang said: "There are three provinces in the northwest, but it seems that the territory is vast, many of them are a wilderness, and they can't live at all. I estimate that there are about 200,000 soldiers who can really fight. ”

Guo Dalu nodded: "The northwest is poor and weak, and it has reached the peak of being able to raise 200,000 soldiers, otherwise, there are too many soldiers recruited, and those military leaders can only drink the northwest wind." ”

Wang Decheng was a bandit, and he knew in his heart what the military strength of the imperial court was, so he couldn't help but interject: "The strength of 200,000 troops is already quite good, although the soldiers in the northwest are not as good as the forbidden army of the imperial court, but the people in the northwest are brave and ruthless, and they are still very fierce when they fight." The imperial court has always wanted to clean up the military leaders in the northwest, but because it is a hard bone, it has not been able to gnaw down. ”

Guo Dalu shook his head: "What's the use of having too many people? In front of the hot weapons I brought, the tactics of crowds are destined to disappear from the stage of history, and in my opinion, 200,000 soldiers are about the same as 200,000 pigs." These commanders drove their soldiers to work for themselves, luring them with money and coercing them by force, and none of them was willing to sacrifice themselves for them. This kind of soldier who wants to run away and rebel at any time is really not as good as a pig. 200,000 pigs stood on the battlefield, and people had to kill for a while, and these 200,000 soldiers might have dispersed in a hurry. ”

Seeing that Guo Dalu said it easily, everyone also laughed, and Lou Dalang said: "It is impossible for these 200,000 soldiers to come out of the nest, although the thirteen Taibao are righteous, but there are often disputes between each other, they will definitely leave a lot of elite soldiers to guard their territory and nest, so as not to be stabbed in the back." Hey, I see, they beware of their brothers' minds falling on us science. Of these 200,000 troops, 100,000 can come to fight against us, which is already a lot. ”

Guo Dalu asked, "How many of us are there?"

Erniu hurriedly said: "In addition to the 300 children of our science sect on the wasteland reclamation site, there are also more than 700 locally hired craftsmen, and there are only a thousand heads. "Erniu is in charge of the account expenditure and food supply in the northwest, and she knows how many people on the construction site are in her heart, and the data will come as soon as she opens her mouth.

Guo Dalu touched his nose: "Well, one thousand to one hundred thousand, not too much, not too little." ”

Everyone in the tent laughed, and no one thought that there was anything wrong with Guo Dalu wanting to kill a thousand people against a hundredfold enemy.

Guo Dalu's finger tapped lightly on the case: "These military leaders want to fight a battle with us, okay, just fight! However, where to fight and how to fight must be decided by us! Brother Hao, stupid big man, the children of the 300 people of my science sect naturally advance and retreat together with life and death, but those 700 craftsmen are all ordinary people in the northwest, although I am sure of victory, but it is still up to them to decide whether to stay or not. ”

Brother Hao and the stupid big man took the order and hurried out of the tent.

Science Gate excavated underground rivers in the northwest, drilled wells everywhere, built windmills, and naturally needed to hire some local people, masons, blacksmiths, etc. recruited more than 700 people, which is still a small amount, because the development of the northwest has just begun, and when hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land are developed, the labor required is an astronomical amount.

When these local craftsmen in the northwest were originally recruited by Lou Dalang, they were both a little uneasy and a little puzzled, Lou Dalang's reputation was not bad in the local area, knowing that he would not arbitrarily deduct wages, and he was a good master, but when they learned that they were digging a well in the wilderness, the local craftsmen were muttering behind their backs that Lou Dalang was confused, and threw the money earned from the snow sugar shop into the fire pit. Some craftsmen have also dug wells themselves, and it is already blessed by God to be able to barely dig a salt water well, and although people cannot drink it, the water can be used to drink livestock.

But I didn't expect that this science gate drilling well is different from others, a slender and long iron pipe, through a shelf called drilling, rotated into the ground, punched a very small hole, and then filled it with a kind of powder, after lighting the fire, boom, you can blow up a big hole, sweet water gushes out at once!

Grandpa God, what kind of magic weapon does this science gate use? This well is easier than drinking cold water! Yes, I am really confused, the science gate entered by the shopkeeper of Dalang Lou is a famous cultivation sect in the world, and it is not a trivial matter to use a few magic weapons to dig a well.

The local craftsmen in the northwest don't know that the various tools used by the Science Gate have nothing to do with magic weapons and immortal arts, none of them use spiritual power, and the drill bits used for drilling are tungsten steel bits pulled out by Dahei, and even the rocks can be broken, not to mention the sand layer in the northwest.

Powder is naturally explosives, in fact, it is best to use the drilling method to drill wells, and the means of using explosives are too rough, but Guo Dalu can't make a larger-sized seamless steel pipe for a while, if he had this thing, he would have built a cannon a long time ago, so he can only use explosives to blow up directly.

Those Northwest craftsmen worked with the Science Gate, it was like a dream, eating large pieces of fat and dripping pork every day, and what moved them even more was that the old men and little gentlemen of the Science Gate also let them, and they had to put the fattest meat in their bowls - in fact, the people and students of the Science Gate were tired of eating fat pork as early as Houlong Village Yixue, and only picked lean meat to eat - what kind of literacy classes would be held at night to teach everyone to read and write.

All the masters of this science gate are good people, and it is difficult to find such a good owner with a lantern.

Some thoughtful craftsmen have thought that this science gate has bought so many land mines in the northwest and drilled so many sweet water wells, and it seems that it is going to take root in the northwest.

When Brother Hao and the stupid big man recruited craftsmen on the construction sites everywhere, the craftsmen thought that the master of the Science Gate urged them to rest again, because the Science Gate has a very strange system, called the four-hour rest system, and they can only work for four hours a day, so they have to rest.

Grandpa, the common people work, which one either works from dawn to dark, or when he returns home, he has to do needlework with the oil lamps.

However, the masters of the science gate are very serious about this, the craftsmen have done a lot, and they have to be criticized, and the old men also have a set of rhetoric, saying that they have done a lot in a short period of time, but they have exhausted their bodies, and they have not rested well, which has affected the next day's work. The work of science is meticulous, and if you make a mistake, you have to rework, which will delay the overall progress, so you must ensure rest time.

When it comes to the meticulousness of the work of the Science Gate, the craftsmen agree that as soon as they were hired by the Science Gate, they did not immediately go to work, but were called together and raised with fat pork every day, just studying.

What to learn? The proprietary tools and weights and measures of science are actually standardization.

It has long been said before, the tools of the Great Li Dynasty are actually very non-standard, when Guo Dalu first arrived in Houlong Village, in order to unify the standard on the brain, now to the northwest, it is the same reason, different craftsmen use different sizes, the measuring tools in the hands are even more varied, these must be unified first, otherwise, there is no need to work, and the things made are definitely "the head of the bull is not the mouth of the horse".

The craftsmen enjoy all kinds of preferential treatment of the Science Gate, and after a few months, they naturally have their hearts on the Science Gate, and they can't wait to be slaves and servants under the Science Gate all their lives.

At this time, all the craftsmen stood in front of Hao Ge'er and the stupid big man in line - this is another feature of the Science Gate, that is, militarized management, there is time and space, and there is a queue or something - these craftsmen look full of energy, but they are more disciplined than some soldiers under the military leader.

The stupid big man is a straight man, what do you have to say, stand forward, with a big mouth, he said that the well, Liangtian, and want to rob the well, and he also said that the thirteenth Taibao has an army of 100,000, although the science gate is not afraid of them, but the sword has no eyes in the war, in order to avoid accidentally injuring the craftsmen, everyone can go home first, and then come back to work after the war subsides.

As soon as the stupid big man's voice fell, those craftsmen broke the usual rule of raising their hands in the queue to speak, and shouted indiscriminately: "These damn Qiu Ba! Beheaded ghosts who have been plagued! They want to grab all the good things in their hands! Forget it about robbing our people's things, they actually dare to rob the wells and fertile fields of the immortals and immortals of the Science Gate! I really don't know how to write the dead word! Master Sha, let's not go home, let's follow the old men of the Science Gate, and fight with those Qiu Ba!"

The stupid big man stretched out his hand and pressed it in the void: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have received your wishes, but fighting is not a joke, we have been personally trained by Mr. Houlong in Houlong Village, and we have a set of methods for marching and fighting, if you follow us, you will drag your feet if you don't do well." ”

At this time, a middle-aged blacksmith among the craftsmen stood up and said to the stupid man: "Master Sha, I won't tell you, the war in the northwest is together, and it is safer for us to follow the Science Gate than to run home." Instead of running back to our own homes, we might as well take refuge in the old men of the Science Gate, who all have immortal skills, and it is not a trivial matter to kill the enemy and retreat from the army? Not to mention anything else, the powder we use to dig the well is an excellent weapon to kill the enemy!"

Sure enough, these craftsmen were very smart, and immediately thought of the wonderful use of explosives, which shows that the people of the Great Li Dynasty were not born stupid, and with a little pulling, they could master advanced technology.

The stupid big man and Brother Hao glanced at each other, and nodded slightly, the people's hearts are available.

Brother Hao took a step forward and said sharply: "In this case, from now on, you will all belong to my scientific sect, and you must order and prohibit it, and those who violate it will be punished by military law!"

The craftsmen stood up and replied in unison: "Obey the decree of the immortals!"

After Guo Dalu listened to the report of the stupid big man and Brother Hao, he nodded: "It's okay, these craftsmen have also been trained by us for several months, and they can be called high-quality laborers, so it's a pity that they are scattered like this." Brother Hao, if you hurry up and train them well, it can be regarded as a combat force. ”

For Guo Dalu, this is the first time he has commanded the march to fight, naturally he can't help but be a little excited, man, which one doesn't have the dream of Jin Ge Iron Horse, I saw him half-squinting his eyes, shaking his head, quite like the length of the clouds, and like the brightness of Zhuge Zhi, I saw him mutter: "Let me think about it, what is the first priority in the war? Well, it is logistics." Erniu, how are our supplies?"

Erniu flipped through the book: "Because Xiaobai is here, it is very convenient for us to transport supplies, and now the food in the camp is enough for us to eat until the beginning of spring." The quantities of explosives and kerosene and gasoline are --"

Guo Dalu listened to the data of various materials and nodded: "I remember that we also brought some low-level immortals from Houlong Village, and if you eat one pill, you can be full of energy without eating or drinking for a day, and send these elixirs to everyone as emergency food." ”

Brother Hao said: "We need logistics materials for the war, and those military leaders want to do the same, they have to send 100,000 troops, and they need more food, Brother Guo, I think we might as well start here." ”

Guo Dalu's eyes lit up: "Not bad! This method is good! The soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, let's burn the grain of the army leaders first, and see if they can still produce soldiers and horses!" (To be continued.) )
