[Chapter 216] Perhaps, there is a chance to promote thousands of households?

(0216)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

Xu Xingxia, who came from later generations, would never take his dangerous situation lightly, nor would he think of others as harmless. He believed in Mr. Lu Xun's words and never feared speculation of the Chinese with the worst malice. He would not think of people at the worst, but would only think of people even worse. In this chaotic era in the late Ming Dynasty, good people had long died. No one who could make a living was not a stalwart heart.

In terms of corruption, officials and officials protect each other, and forming party members to promote private affairs, the late Ming Dynasty was definitely the peak of history. The party struggles in the late Ming Dynasty were even more complicated than those in the late Tang Dynasty. The Donglin Party, Zhejiang Party, Qi Party, Kun Party, Chu Party, and Xuan Party took turns to fight, and everyone was completely inconsistent with people and things. Under such a political situation, the various places below were naturally in chaos and could not be described as common sense. If you believe too much in the evaluation of later generations, you will definitely be ruined.

A gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall. This time the superior convenes to Ningxia City, and he must not refuse to go. If he does not go, he will give him more reasons to deal with him. However, if he goes, he must ensure his own safety. If he is besieged, he must find a way to escape quickly. Therefore, Xu Xingxia's basic strategy is to escape first and never get entangled. As long as he can leave Ningxia City and return to Weizhen Fort, there will be more room for maneuver.

To do this, of course, you must prepare some necessary escape tools. It seems that the flying bulbs under Tuoba Su are very good climbing tools. The flying bulbs are swings and hooks directly on the city wall, climbing up the city wall, and then turning it down again. It is not impossible. As long as you move quickly, even if the official army surges up in large numbers, you can't stop him. Xu Xingxia believes that he can do what Tuoba Su can do.

Of course, it is necessary to arrange the support personnel and war horses with fast enough speed outside Ningxia City. As long as they get on the back of Dayuan Horse, the pursuers in Ningxia City will not have to be afraid. If they dare to catch up, they will definitely make them look good. As long as they shoot dozens of pursuers, others will probably not dare to continue chasing them. In Ningxia City, it is the only place where the enemy has the chance to attack. Once they leave Ningxia City, Xu Xingxia will be fearless.

In order to exercise his escape skills, Xu Xingxia pulled Zhang Quanfu and repeatedly tried to see what angle to use to throw out the flying bulbs and climb the city wall. At the same time, when climbing, what posture should be used to effectively avoid the shooting of muskets and bows. If you successfully climb up the city wall, what kind of weapons should you use to defeat the defenders as quickly as possible and slide down from the city wall. After going down the city wall, you should use a posture to quickly escape so as to avoid muskets and arrows from behind as much as possible.

I have to say that such training is indeed quite interesting. Xu Xingxia quickly mastered most of the skills. Xu Xingxia felt very satisfied with his own understanding. Unfortunately, only Zhang Quanfu knew all of his skills, and others were not clear about them. If others saw Xu Xingxia practicing the ability to escape, they might have some other ideas. It was not a problem of declining loyalty, but angering them. They might simply instigate Xu Xingxia himself to rebel. What is there to say with the bastards in Ningxia City?

"Sir, do you have time?" Chen Denglong suddenly arrived, his face serious.

"Of course there is. If there is anything, tell me." Xu Xingxia nodded and said calmly.

What Chen Denglong wants to report is mainly about the increase in the population of Weizhen Fort. The total population of the original Weizhen Fort was more than 3,000. In the past few months, a large number of scattered military households have arrived in Weizhen Fort, with almost 6,700 people, which has increased the population of Weizhen Fort by nearly 4,000.

Most of these newly added migrant populations are young and strong men, and they all came to join the army. Many of them are active in the rangers near Weizhen Fort. Due to the limited number of places in the White Army, they cannot recruit them all, so they are temporarily in the craft workshop and serve as helpers. It can be said that this part of the population has a very significant effect on the development of Weizhen Fort's productivity. Without the arrival of these people, the manufacturing of sun and moon guns, trench machines, and side vans would not be so rapid. Chen Denglong and others welcomed such migrant population to join.

However, the refugees who escaped from Zhenshuobao are a little troublesome. They are basically old, weak, sick and disabled, and have no labor force and no production capacity. On the contrary, their consumption is very large. The grain consumed every day is a huge amount. Their arrival has indeed brought great pressure to Weizhenbao. The six general flags of the management committee have discussed privately, hoping to find another place to arrange them.

Xu Xingxia said slowly: "What is the opinion of the board of directors?"

Chen Denglong said bluntly: "It's better to let them go back to Zhenshuobao."

Xu Xingxia frowned quietly. It is of course the best way to let those refugees go back to Zhenshuobao, which can minimize the pressure on Weishuobao. However, the situation in Zhenshuobao is quite unoptimistic. The houses that can be lived in were basically burned by the Tartars. In the summer and autumn, the weather is warm and they can barely live. However, they cannot survive the cold winter that comes with it.

Besides, after those refugees returned to Zhenshuobao, the source of food was also a huge problem. All the food stored in Zhenshuobao was stolen by the Tartars. How could those refugees live after they returned? There was not much of the field in Zhenshuobao and they couldn't support them at all. They couldn't drink the northwest wind, right? They were not full and could not wear warm clothes, and they would eventually run back to Weizhenbao? At that time, would Weizhenbao refuse to accept them?

This is an impossible thing. In order to relieve its own pressure, Weizhen Fort pushed three thousand old, young, women and children to the brink of demise. Even if Xu Xingxia was so tough, he could not do such a thing. At present, Weizhen Fort can only continue to carry this heavy burden. Fortunately, Weizhen Fort's current grain stock is still relatively sufficient. In half a year, it is no problem to provide their food for free.

Before leaving, Sun Dakun had already told the Sun Family Trading Branch to satisfy the business of Weizhenbao as much as possible. Xu Xingxia hoarded a large amount of various materials through the Sun Family Trading Bank. With the relationship between Shanxi merchants, the senior management of Ningxia Town, even though he knew that the situation in Weizhenbao was a bit special, he did not stop it publicly. As for private blocking, the Sun Family Trading Bank probably didn't care much. Compared with big names like Ye Xianggao, the senior management of Ningxia City was not at the same level at all.

"Then... sir, how long are you going to place them?" Chen Denglong was also embarrassed and said hesitantly. In fact, letting those refugees go back to Zhenshuobao is to kill them. However, Weishuobao is indeed impossible to raise so many old, young, women and children for free! Sitting in the empty mountain, flowing water, carrying such a heavy burden, the road ahead will definitely be staggering in the future. We must think of a proper way to deal with this matter.

"By the way, sir, Zuo Tun will add thousands of households... I don't know..." Chen Denglong said hesitantly. The Zuo Tun he mentioned is the abbreviation of Qianhuo Tun, the Qianhuo Tun Guard in Ningxia, which is the Qianhuo Tun House stationed in Zhenshuo Tun Castle. Since the Tatars broke through Zhenshuo Tun Castle this time, the Thousand Households were put in a slaughter, Ningxia Town must restore this thousand households. To restore this thousand households, the primary link is to appoint a new thousand households.

With Xu Xingxia's current status, it is unreasonable to intervene in the affairs of Zhenshuobao. There is no reason for you to run to Qianhuobao territory! Such an extraordinary thing will not be able to eat even if it is caused by the imperial court. However, if Xu Xingxia is the Qianhuobao in the Qianhuobao in the Zuotunwei, it would be different. Only by having a name, the white-clothed army can enter Zhenshuobao legitimately.

From all aspects of the conditions, the development space of Zhenshuo Fort is much larger than that of Weishuo Fort. The place is larger and the resources are more. Although Chen Denglong did not want Xu Xingxia to leave Weishuo Fort, from the long-term development of the White-Clothed Army, Xu Xingxia's activity area will definitely become larger and larger. From the perspective of military strategy, Zhenshuo Fort and Weishuo Fort are very close. As long as there are chariot battalions and artillery battalions, there is no worry about the division and siege of the Tatars.

From a long-term strategic perspective, as long as the White-Clothed Army connects Weizhen Fort and Zhenshuo Fort into a line, and then closes the passes such as Zhenyuan Pass, Daqiukou, Suweikou, Chimukou and other passes, the areas around the Heishan Camp will become the independent space of the White-Clothed Army. Whether it is attacks from the Tatars or attacks from other enemies, they will be resolutely counterattacked by the White-Clothed Army. This vast area is the base for the development and growth of the White-Clothed Army.

"Let me see!" Xu Xingxia said calmly.

He had actually considered the suggestions made by Chen Denglong. There had been a lot of rumors about the candidates for Thousand Houses in Zuotun, and Minghao came back to report them to him. Minghao's thoughts, like Chen Denglong, were actively suggesting Xu Xingxia to try his best to win the position of Thousand Houses.

The entire army of the Qianhu House of the Zuotunwei of Ningxia was wiped out this time, and the superiors must be supplemented. As for whom to be dispatched, it mainly depends on two aspects. One is who the superiors want to be dispatched. On the other hand, who is willing to come. On the first hand, Xu Xingxia probably has no chance. No superior likes him. But the second aspect is his strengths. In Ningxia Town, no one is his opponent in terms of combat effectiveness.

Zhenshuobao is very dangerous now. If there are still Tartars coming, they may not be able to defend it. If the city is broken by the Tartars again and the entire army is wiped out, it is estimated that ordinary people will not dare to come and take over. The location of Qianhu is certainly tempting and moved, but if you want to sacrifice your life, it will not be worth it.

"Maybe, I can really fight for it." Xu Xingxia said to herself in her heart.
