Chapter 162: Dark Clouds Still Wind Pause (1)
The ice and snow melted, and all things revived. Although the buds of the plants had not yet broken through the cocoon, the spring plowing of Ponu City had already started. In order to ensure the spring plowing, all the members were on holiday. Even Zhang Ping'an, the commander of the Ponu Army, also plowed and plowed the fields in a very good manner.
After Zhang Ping'an finished the show, he went to see the new refugees. He specially divided 400,000 mu of the most fertile land on the grassland to the west, so that the refugees would become his long-term workers.
At the same time, he also asked the various war barracks to take turns to go westward for 300 miles, monitor the movements of Lin Dankhan in Mongolia, and protect the safety of refugee workers. The Chinese people are very hardworking and can endure the most.
They migrated all the way, and the Ponu Army fought in the barracks. In addition to maintaining order, they were their nanny. The first few days they walked very slowly. The Ponu Army Master told them that Mr. Zhang wanted them not to die. So they could eat four meals a day, and the first two days were porridge. From the third day, they had a dry meal.
On the fourth day, one sparse and two dried foods were dried, and there was meat and fish in the dishes. On the fifth day, there was meat soup. All these arrangements made the refugees feel a sense of belonging. They even surprised the refugees to break the strict rules of the slave army. They had to queue up for meals, and the elderly and weak, and women and children were eating first. There were a few old military gangsters who were once rebels. They were about to step into the line when they were chopping into the army and were chopped off by the Po Nu Army in a red hat. Therefore, they were grateful to the Po Nu Army.
What surprised the refugees even more was that when they were two hundred miles away from Ponu City, they saw a scene they had never seen before. Twenty wooden houses were shrouded in steam. Men and women separated and entered different wooden houses.
As soon as the refugees entered the house, they were asked to take off their clothes. Except for their eyebrows, they were not allowed to leave a single hair on their bodies, and women were not included. After shaving the hair, they all sent out a small piece of nice soap and a small piece of cloth, and the auxiliary soldiers of the Po Slave Army led them to take a bath.
The Pang Slave Army was so rich. After taking a shower, they even gave them new clothes. Even Yuhan's leather robe was new, and the quality of this leather robe was better than that of the landlord when they were at home.
When they came to their new home, fifty miles away from Ponu City, they were told that they had become tenants and long-term workers of the Ponu Army Zhang Dashui. Zhang Dashui prepared them all with food for autumn harvest, seeds for farming, and farm tools.
Zhang Dashuai’s soldiers told them that each household would divide the land for 50 acres. After the autumn harvest, Zhang Dashuai would divide 50% of the grain harvest in the fields. After five years of farming, Zhang Dashuai distributed the land to them. At that time, they would only have to pay 20% of the grain tax and the rest would belong to them.
These refugees were talking about it. Is Mr. Zhang a fool? Can such a good thing happen? The soldiers from the Slave Army immediately appeared proudly and said it.
These soldiers asked the refugees: Is the food along the way delicious? None of the refugees shook their heads to object. The soldiers told them that you all eat pig food. If you don’t have two meals of meat a day in Ponu City, you will not be the people of Ponu City.
The only one who does not pay the grain tax in the Po Sub City is Zhang Dashuai, but your children are all raised! The child still has two clothes for a year.
................
At the Baishan command post in the east of Ponucheng, Zhang Ping'an is investigating every detail of the project. This is his main battlefield and his life-saving place. He will not be careless at all.
Gu Xin beside him was very confused when he looked at the project of the auxiliary position. Since his design drawings came out, Shuai Zhang had never explained them to anyone. He would smile and not answer anyone.
After reading the drawings, Zhang Ping'an saw Gu Xin's appearance and patted his shoulder with a smile: "I want to know! I'll tell you today, and say!"
Zhang Ping'an pulled Gu Xin to the top of the main peak, looked at the busy people at the foot of the mountain. He pointed to the two hills in the east and explained to Gu Xin: "I have always refused to tell everyone that the strange fortifications in the auxiliary position are mainly because of the fact that the secrets are leaked. I told you today, it is because you want to make a combat plan."
As he said that, Zhang Ping'an picked up the construction drawings and compared them with Gu Xin: "This is the back-sloping fortification I designed. The main idea is to attack them from the back of the enemy. I have measured that the distance between these two hills and the main peak is forty feet, which is exactly the best distance for the Pou Nu Army's muskets to shoot! Even if the Tartars took their unique longbow, at such a long distance, they could shoot into a shooting hole that was one foot square?"
After saying that, Zhang Ping'an looked at the east: "I have a strategic plan, which is to target the direction of the Jurchens' offensive, and prepare to take step by step to slow down their attack. The General Staff needs to make a plan, mainly choosing a terrain that is conducive to blocking." Gu Xin took out his notebook and wrote down Zhang Ping'an's request.
Then, Zhang Ping'an rode a horse and began to patrol the Blade Army's barracks. He came to the Rudeyin Chariot Camp and saw Rudeyin in a distance facing the buried wooden stakes in a daze.
At first, Zhang Ping'an was a little confused. Why did Lu Deyin not do serious business? He was stunned at the wooden stake. After a while, Zhang Ping'an was overjoyed. He figured it out that Lu Deyin was not doing serious business. He was breaking the enemy's horse-resistance formation!
He admires Rudeyin's advanced thinking style very much. It seems that Deyin is very concerned about the attack of the chariot battalion and has considered the problems that may be encountered on the attack route of the chariot.
Zhang Ping'an did not disturb Ru Deyin, but sat beside him and thought with him.
"Come here! Take two horses!" Ru Deyin roared, which scared Zhang Ping'an. He nodded secretly in his heart. He had grown up and had the momentum of command.
Lu Deyin's messenger did not move, but shook his eyes at him. Lu Deyin turned his face and looked at him. Zhang Ping'an was squatting beside him, and also saw Gu Xin standing behind him. "Brother, when did you come?"
Zhang Ping'an patted his shoulder affectionately: "We have been here for a while. When we see you thinking, we didn't disturb you. I know that when people are considering problems, they are most annoying to interrupt people. How about it, come up with a countermeasure?"
Ru Deyin admired his older brother the most. When he saw Zhang Ping'an ask a question, he shook his head unhappily.
"Brother, I have been thinking about what resistance my chariot battalion will encounter when attacking. It is easy to deal with when encountering obstacles. We have telescopes, which can be discovered in advance and order the Ghost Knife Team to fill the pit. The camp is easier to deal with. If the chariot cannot be hit, install the chariot and explode it directly! It is like this kind of horse-hiding vans that cannot be hit by the chariot and the cattle and horse cannot be dragged! Especially in winter, water is poured on the joints buried on the ground, and the frozen porcelain is solid, and it is even more difficult to get it done!"
After hearing this, Zhang Ping'an nodded and gave a suggestion: "You try using fire attack first to see how long it is? A cow is stronger than a horse. One cow cannot pull it. Try four or five cows? Let's see which of these two methods is the shortest."
After Zhang Ping'an finished speaking, he drew a sketch for Ru Deyin. "This is the activity card I thought about temporarily. Please look for Uncle Wang and Uncle Li. Their hands are much more coincidental than me! Use this card and try to connect the iron chain to drag the wooden stake."
Rudeyin, who was full of depression, smiled: "Okay! I'll go find them right away!" After that, Rudeyin wanted to run away.
Zhang Ping'an grabbed Rudeyin and criticized him: "You are a bad boy, this is not an urgent matter. I will go back and tell the uncles! If I am busy, Gu Xin will help you. What are you anxious about? The formation of the chariot offensive has changed too little. You should imagine more situations that may occur on the battlefield. The precise response to the formation is what you need to focus on!"
Ru Deyin scratched his head embarrassedly: "Hehehe, brother, I want to go and see Zhou Wei!"
"No! I haven't even gone home, so you are not allowed to go back!"
Lu Deyin was so angry that he pouted at Zhang Ping'an's domineering behavior. Zhang Ping'an grimaced at him and happily took Gu Xin to Lu Xiangsheng's "Tianxiong Camp".
Gu Xin sympathized with Ru Deyin very much. He wanted to plead for Ru Deyin. "Boss, Deyin hasn't returned to Ponu City for almost a month. Sister Ruge also said that Deyin would go back to dinner!"
