Chapter 73: Make a Decision
Zhang Ping'an started his charming smile again. Seeing his smile, the old brothers suddenly felt a cold wind blowing. Sure enough, he heard Zhang Ping'an say, "When you train, you don't have to fight or kill anymore. I created something new, and I was disobedient and locked in this confinement room for one or two hours. Keep them not daring to make trouble anymore!"
Chen Pie asked in confusion: "Is this more effective than beheading?"
Zhang Ping'an explained: "After you go back, each department will dig a few five-meter-deep pits in a secluded place in your camp. When someone is disobedient, lock them in and cover them with a lid. I guess, people will be crazy if they are kept in for one or two hours! So no one will be disobedient!"
When Zhang Ping'an saw that everyone didn't believe it, he said, "My personal military camp has a confinement room. You can go and experience it, and you will know what I said is true!"
Long Tao stood up and pointed to the map and said, "Master! If we want to reclaim land, build houses, and build fortifications. What should we do if the walls of each city are there?"
Zhang Ping'an replied: "The city walls are built in only the foundations. They have frozen here in late autumn. It is still the easiest to build an ice city! Next year, the city wall will be built gradually."
Chen Liang asked again: "In the Ming Dynasty, people used glutinous rice to make juice and egg white as the bonding material."
Zhang Ping'an shook his hand and said, "We can't do this. Don't worry, I'm trying to figure out a way! I'll do this! Just don't disturb me!"
Zhang Ping'an took out a small dress from the box and gave it to Chen Liang: "This is what I gave Moran. It is absolutely good! This is what I found in Guangning. Do you still remember the place where Huang Zhimen imprisoned the defeated soldiers!"
When Zhang Ping'an saw Chen Liang's doubts, he patted his head: "By the way! You are not in Guangning. I just found more than a dozen sacks of wild duck feathers. I used duck down to make Ruge a duck down clothing. The materials are too small, so I can only wear it silently for your family! This thing is light and warm! I am going to grab a batch of wild ducks with a net when they come back in spring and cut off the fur on their wings. We will put the wild ducks and domestic ducks together to domestic ducks, so that my soldiers in the Pokémon Army can wear duck down clothing in a few years!"
Zhang Ping'an saw that everyone seemed to say that they didn't care. So he taught earnestly: "Don't think this is not important. If my Pou Nu Army is lighter than the Tartars in armor and clothes, my Pou Nu Army soldiers are flexible than the Tartars on the battlefield. They can bring more supplies when marching to ensure their ability to continue fighting. You guys say, is this still a trivial matter!"
Hearing this, the old brothers understood and started a discussion with a loud bang. Zhang Ping'an pressed his hands, signaled to Jingjing, and then said: "Let me talk about the issue of the camp number. In the Guangning Battle, Chen Por's army won the greatest achievements and was awarded the Huben Camp number. Wu Tianxing's army swept away the Mongolian Korqin's warfare and outstanding military achievements. He awarded the Cheetah Camp number. Huang Wei's army captured Amin and awarded the Thunder God Camp number! Li Chen's army dared to fight and fought this time, and awarded the Lightning Camp number! Hu Ming's army was quick in attacking and good at interspersing, and awarded the Blade Camp number! Yu Guangcai's army performed well in transporting supplies and protecting the people; he was the mainstay of our army and awarded the Pillar Stone Camp number! Although other departments performed well in the Guangning Battle, they still needed to work hard."
Zhang Ping'an paused and continued: "The update of new equipment will be updated in order of the granted camp number. I will select 100 brave men from each division to form a slave army and a heavy armored cavalry. As an assault force, in May, I will send troops to sweep away the various tribes of Mongolqin in the east. One is to test the reaction of the Jurchens, and the other is to seize the livestock we need."
After Zhang Ping'an finished speaking, he asked everyone: "Okay, if you have any questions, you can ask."
Chen Poe stood up and asked, "Who is responsible for the assessment of military achievements?"
Zhang Ping'an said: "At this stage, each department is in charge of the general's suggestions, and it is self-evaluated. After I send the staff to each department, I will evaluate the staff department of each department, and then report to our staff headquarters."
Rudeyin pointed to the box: "Master, it seems you haven't talked about the face armor yet!"
Zhang Ping'an patted his head and smiled and said, "Look, I forgot about this. Through the Battle of Guangning, I found that the Jurchen Tartars' arrows were shot very accurately, especially those on the face and throat!"
Zhang Ping'an asked Gu Xin to take out five pairs of skeleton face armor, and said to everyone: "This is designed by me, and then add throat armor to the neck. You can choose the face armor that can scare the enemy the most!"
As a result, what Zhang Ping'an likes the most, and when he screamed, no one liked the mask of the death mask. Zhang Ping'an picked up the mask he liked the most, and asked, "Isn't this scary?"
Everyone nodded unanimously: "Not scary!"
Zhang Ping'an thought helplessly: The times are different, not everything in later generations. It can be used here. Just like the title of the chief, it cannot even be promoted by the personal military camp.
Zhang Ping'an said to the old brothers shamelessly: "After this meeting, you can solve the problems that your troops can solve by themselves. Don't come to me for everything. I also have to do my best to develop the Po Slave Army. I am only considering big things now!"
Huang Zhi stood up and said, "Master General! Our Milu guns, Guangning battle and daily training, have suffered a lot of losses. Do you want to make up for the big deal before the big event?"
Zhang Ping'an thought for a while: "When you train, you will train three hundred guns tightly. If you do the rest, I can only add 600 guns to your team by the end of the year, which is good! After all, Milu guns require two gun barrels to be condomed, and inexperienced craftsmen can't do it at all. I'm thinking of a way to do this. Don't worry!"
Zhang Ping'an said to Chen Liang and Long Tao: "Our iron ore, salt mine, saltpeter mine, and coal mine must be fast. The output will be up to a higher level next month. Don't care about the life and death of the Jurchens and Mongolian slaves, let the Ming traitor army go to the mine to supervise obediently. Let these Ming traitors ride on his original master and shit. I promise that these people will never rebel again in the future! As for the slaves rescued, they will be placed in the north of the Posou City to reclaim the land. Other treatments are the same as those from Guangning!"

Three days of military negotiations made Zhang Ping'an exhausted. It was not until he sent all the commanders away that he had time to do his experiment.
That day, Zhang Ping'an came to the glass workshop and instructed the craftsmen to yell the experimental vessel he wanted first. Zhang Ping'an felt ache in his heart when he saw the melting crystal.
He has experimented many times and could not make colorless glass at all. Since the laboratory was waiting for use in a hurry, he could only dissolve the crystal with a relatively poor quality in the crystal and make it into a glassware.
Seeing the formed experimental vessels, he felt a little better. He got up and was about to leave when he saw Xu Yian hurried in. Zhang Ping'an sighed at Xu Yian: "Let's go! Let's talk about it when you go back!"
The two of them came to the coach's mansion and walked into the study. Zhang Ping'an said to Lu Ruge who came in to pour tea: "Ruge, tell me the kitchen. I want to eat braised pork at noon! Call Deyin for me!"
Lu Ruge knew that they had something to talk about, so he turned around and went out and took it to the door. Zhang Ping'an asked at this time, "Tell me! What's the matter?"
Xu Yian whispered: "Master! Now it's lively. Mongolian Korchin tribe, Khalkha tribe, Jurchen Tartars, and the Ming Dynasty court all want to send people to destroy the slave city!"
