Sun Chengzong is an expert in building bunkers. Zhu Cijiu introduced a few words and understood that this bunker is indeed extraordinary and is very suitable for utilizing the power of muskets and artillery. No matter how the enemy attacks the castle, it is exposed to the attack range of multiple edges and corners. The soldiers guarding the city can use cross fire to carry out multiple strikes. With the undulating terrain of Mongolia in the south of the desert, it is impossible to concentrate too many troops to attack in one direction. With this bunker, Jiannu is really about to cry!

He couldn't help but exclaim: "The emperor is so wise and powerful. He can think of such a complicated castle, and I admire him."

Zhu Cijing didn't dare to suffer, because the prototype of the Lelanzha Castle was built by the Dutch. The officers and soldiers of the navy knew about it. He quickly said modestly: "This is actually a method that foreigners came up with. I just painted the cat and painted it. The Grand Tutor sees whether it is feasible to build the Lelanzha Castle?"

Sun Chengzong nodded quickly and said, "Of course it is feasible. This bastion is much more defensive than an ordinary city. It can indeed save half of its defensive forces. In this way, it only takes 500,000 troops!"

Zhu Cijing shook his head and said, "It's better to be safer. The three routes should attack at the same time, so as not to make any mistakes in Huang Taiji. I will leave the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards to guard the capital along the way, and the Beiyang Navy and the Beihai Fleet will be stationed in Dongdaying; Lu Xiangsheng will remain unchanged all the way. After all, he will build ten battalions along the way, and he will need to leave 100,000 troops to defend the city. If he only leads 100,000 troops into the Korqin grassland, it will be a bit unsafe; the Taifu will leave the Dongjiang Army to guard the Guanning City along the way, what do you think?"

The one million troops turned into 800,000, and it was a relatively safe fortress encirclement tactic. The generals were naturally relieved and nodded in agreement.

Seeing that everyone had no objection, Zhu Cijiu took the ash pole from Sun Chengzong and began to discuss with the generals the specific location of the building of the bastion. After all the construction sites were confirmed, he immediately looked up straight and said seriously: "I order."

When the generals heard this, they immediately raised their heads and stood up straight.

Zhu Cijing continued to say majesticly: "Let the Second Corps of the Imperial Guards, the Qin Army, and the Dingliao Army arrived in the capital within ten days to assemble, and the Dingliao Army was responsible for escorting 100,000 prisoners;

The Tianxiong Army, the First Border Defense Army Corps, and the Wuwei Army arrived in Haizhou City within ten days to assemble. The Wuwei Army was responsible for escorting 300,000 prisoners;

The Liaodong Army and the Dongjiang Army arrived in Guanning City within ten days to assemble, and the Dongjiang Army was responsible for escorting 100,000 prisoners;

The Henan Preparatory Corps was ordered to arrive at Beidaying within ten days and take over Beidaying's defense;

Ten days later, at the 15th day of October, three armies set out at the same time, building the bastion along the way, and then catching the turtle in a jar!”

The generals immediately said in unison: "The last general follows the order!"

Zhu Cijing waved his hand again and said, "Okay, hurry up and go back and prepare."

The generals said in unison and then walked out one after another. Zhu Cijing directly said to Sun Yuanhua who was turning around and preparing to go back: "Chuyang, go with me to the study to discuss the allocation of military supplies."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuanhua immediately followed Zhu Cijing respectfully and walked out of the hall.

When he arrived at the door, Zhu Cijiu said to Cao Huachun who was waiting outside: "Immediately notify the Minister of Works Bi Maokang to come to my study."

As the saying goes, before the three armies move, food and grass will come first. Now the three armies have begun to gather, so the military supplies naturally have to keep up.

The imperial palace in the Ministry of Works is not far away, so Bi Maokang soon came to Zhu Cijiong's private study. After Zhu Cijiong asked him to sit down, he immediately asked: "Meng Hou, what is the daily output of the cement factory now?"

Bi Maokang knew that the emperor liked to ask about specific data, saying that he remembered the output, inventory and other data of all factories in the Ministry of Industry very clearly. So as soon as Zhu Cijing finished asking, he immediately replied without thinking: "Reply to the emperor, the cement factory now produces about one million kilograms of cement a day. According to the emperor's requirements, fifty kilograms per pack, which looks like about twenty thousand kilograms per pack."

Zhu Cijing nodded and said, "Well, if this catty is calculated by too much, it will be difficult to forget it. Let's do this. In the future, add a unit of weight to the catty, called ton, and 2,000 kilograms ton, and one million kilograms is 500 kilograms. Do you know?"

Zhu Cijing was too lazy to explain that a liter of pure water was exactly one kilogram, and a ton was one thousand kilograms, because the Ming Dynasty had not increased the unit of measurement, so it would not be clear that it would be better to complete the goal of fighting for the world first, and then study these problems slowly when you have time.

Bi Maokang didn't understand why two thousand kilograms were a ton, but the emperor said anything and said anything, so he had to nod and respond.

Zhu Cijing asked again: "How much inventory is there in the cement factory now?"

Bi Maokang converted it in his heart before replying: "Return to the emperor, about a thousand tons."

Zhu Cijing thought for a while and ordered directly: "Keep this thousand tons first, and then prepare one thousand tons. The army will need two thousand tons of cement to go to the south of the desert this time. You can prepare it as soon as possible and hand it over to Chuyang in three days."

It turned out that the army was going to fight for it, Bi Maokang hurriedly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Zhu Cijing continued to ask: "How much is the inventory of howitzers used by the Dongdaying Artillery Factory now for the army?"

Bi Maokang replied without thinking: "Return to the emperor, Xiandong Daying Casting Factory has 1,000 Type 317 howitzers, 800 Type 417 howitzers, 500 Type 518 howitzers, and 500 Type 620 howitzers."

Zhu Cijing roughly estimated that the bottom floor of a basin can be arranged about 100 Type 317 howitzers, the middle floor can be arranged about 50 Type 417 howitzers, and the top floor can be arranged about 20 Type 518 grenades or Type 620 howitzers. In this way, it requires 2,000 Type 317 howitzers, 1,000 Type 417 howitzers, 400 Type 518 howitzers and Type 620 howitzers are required.

In this way, the inventory of 400 Type 518 howitzers and Type 620 Howitzers are completely sufficient. The Type 417 howitzers are only 200, and Type 317 howitzers are still 1,000. He immediately ordered: "Let the Dongdaying Artillery Factory stop all the other cannons first. Work overtime in the past two days to build 1,000 Type 317 howitzers and 200 Type 417 howitzers are coming out. Three days later, you must hand over the 3,000 Type 317 howitzers, 1,000 Type 417 howitzers, 200 Type 518 howitzers and Type 620 howitzers are each. This is also what the army needs to use when going out.

When Bi Maokang heard this, he hurriedly bowed: "There is my husband who obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiong nodded: "Well, the battle is imminent. You ask Wang Gong Factory to work overtime and build more ammunition to reserve, so don't be unable to keep up with the consumption of the battle at that time."

Bi Maokang naturally did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly bowed: "There is my husband who obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiong sighed and said tiredly: "You must allocate the food and supplies that Chu Yang Gang told you within three days. Meng Hou, you should work hard and keep a close eye on these two days. Okay, you all go down."

The two of them quickly said the order and then both took their leave.

Zhu Cijiu was really tired after these two meetings, but when he thought of Huang Taiji, he felt full of energy. In order to deal with this fateful enemy, no matter how tired he was!
