Chapter 379 Good place

Baodu Village is really a good place!Zhang Shun came to this conclusion after the reports of Song Xiance, Xiao Qinhu and Zhang Dudu, and after personally inspecting.

Baodu Village is fourteen or five miles away from Sanchuanji, and the terrain is more dangerous than that of Shunwangping.Baodu Village is located on the top of Baoyu Mountain, surrounded by thousands of walls.The depression on the top of the mountain is like a dustpan, which is a first-class defensive danger.

Zhang Shun didn't know that from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, a village was first formed because the villagers escaped the military chaos, and then it was occupied by bandits.In order to eliminate this reactionary force, the People's Liberation Army of later generations attacked Baodu Village three times, and sacrificed more than [-] people before and after, before finally eradicating the bandits here.

The fact that the People's Liberation Army has paid such a high price for its bravery and skillful combat shows that this place is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Zhang Shun liked it in his heart, and quickly pointed it out to Hong Niangzi.The red lady has been quite sad since she lost Shun Wangping, but now she sees that she has a new "home" again, she can't help but smile.

She said with a smile on her face, "There is also a cave on the top of the mountain, which is called: Passing the Wind and Rain, also known as Baolu Cave. The cave is wet, if you dig a little, you can dig some sweet springs!"

Zhang Shun heard what she said was interesting, looked at the distance to the left and right, and joked in a low voice: "The Baotong cave in this mountain is quite humid, and you can dig sweet springs. I just don't know how the lady's "Baotong cave" is, whether it can be a husband. How many sweet springs have been dug?"

The red lady blushed, spat at him, and then cursed in a low voice: "You pervert, my old lady is talking to you about business!"

The red lady only paid attention to his virtue, and ignored him, and continued: "As a stronghold, danger is the first priority. Then only danger is not enough. Once the enemy is besieged, you will be defeated without fighting. Therefore, water and food are the number one priority." The second priority, especially the water source, is not like food that can be stored at will, once there is a shortage, it will be destroyed in an instant!"

"So whether this place is going to work or not, we have to dig a well. When the well water comes out, the cottage can be built. After digging a water cellar and building a granary, we can live in it. There are already a few dwellings here, and some more can be built according to the situation. Expand the village. Gates were added, stables, watchtowers, fortresses and school grounds in the village were added, and the village was initially completed.”

"Afterwards, government offices should be added, specially set up for the leaders of the rebel army. Firstly, it is convenient for management, and secondly, it is to prevent the leakage of secrets from too many people. Restaurant, casino, pharmacy, pawn shop, etc. should be set up. Then The Baoyu Palace is already dilapidated, so it can be repaired and allocated to Mr. Song for use. Let him recruit two or three Taoist boys to be responsible for weddings and funerals in the village."

"In addition, there is a gold mine, which needs to be managed by a reliable person. It will continue to be excavated and washed. The annual output of two or three hundred taels of gold is one or two thousand taels of silver, which is also a fortune."

Zhang Shun saw that his mother-in-law was getting serious, so he smiled and watched her calculating with her fingers one by one.After listening to her for a long time, seeing that she was tired of talking, she smiled and said: "That would be a lot of hard work for my wife, my husband is incompetent, I managed to save this little family property, and I still have to worry about my wife's hard work!"

"By the way, there is also the governor Zhang, who is quite good at defense and firearms. His Qinshui Dou Village is just a small village, but he managed it as if it was impenetrable. The rebels fought three times and couldn't get down. "

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.As soon as Zhang Shun mentioned Dudu Zhang, he rushed over.

It turned out that he originally thought that he was good at firearms, and it was not easy to attack such a small cottage.As a result, Song Xiance took it down before he could exert all his strength, and he became a superfluous person instead.

As the so-called "three fires for a new official to take office", this governor just joined the rebel army not long ago, and he was quite dissatisfied because he failed to do anything.Therefore, he took the opportunity to find Zhang Shun and suggested: "General, I have checked carefully. This village is located in a mountain depression, with only three trenches opened up as passages to enter the village. It is called Dongzhai. Gate, Beizhai Gate, and Xizhai Gate. There is a risk that one man guards the gate and ten thousand men cannot open it."

"I intend to cast nine red barbarian cannons of ten thousand catties and build them into a fort. Even if there are thousands of troops and horses, they will not be broken! There is one behind each village gate, which is called a 'head cannon'. Once the gate is difficult to defend, it can be destroyed. Attack it with one shot from the beginning to the end. If the enemy is coming in densely, if only one shot goes down, the blood will flow into rivers and the bones will be like pulp!"

"There are two cannons on the left and right of the gate of the village, which are called 'clip cannons'. One on the left and the other on the right, they are like crabs attacking them. If the enemy breaks through the gate of the village and wants to attack the cottage, just use these two cannons to trap them. Not broken!"

Zhang Shun couldn't help applauding after hearing this.This so-called "clip cannon" is like a crab attacking from left to right, isn't it what later generations call crossfire!
However, Zhang Shun still put forward his own opinion: "This place is dangerous and difficult to attack. It's not that there is a lack of large firearms, but that there is a risk of insufficient firepower. Why not cast two or three thousand catties of red barbarian cannons. If the enemy comes to attack, They can be fired in turn. If there is a shortage, they can also be seconded for use temporarily. What does Dudu Zhang think?"

Based on the idea of ​​"big is good", the governor Zhang originally wanted to try to forge a ten-thousand-jin Hongyi cannon, which would also open Zhang Shun's horizons.I never thought that Zhang Shun would not have the aggressive and reckless heart of young people, but instead focused on practicality.

Zhang Dudu thought for a while, and Zhang Shun's method was good, so he quickly agreed.He asked again: "How many doors should be cast in this way?"

Zhang Shun thought for a while, then ordered: "First try to cast nine gates to see how powerful they are. If it works, then cast another eighteen gates. At that time, each village gate will have nine forts. Once the enemy comes, You can fire one after another, attacking in turn!"

After Zhang Dudu received the order, he began to gather craftsmen to pick iron materials.Then Zhang Shun resigned from the red lady, called Wukong, Zhang Shenyan and Song Xiance and forty or fifty personal guards, and went to see the gold mine.

This gold mine is not very far from Baodu Village, in the deep mountains and old forests, about ten miles away.

When Zhang Shun and others arrived at this gold mine, it was already under the control of Liu Yinggui.

It's just that when I got to the vicinity, I saw a vast forest, and I couldn't see any similarities and differences between this place and other places.Until Liu Yinggui came over in person and led them to the gold mine.

When Zhang Shun took a closer look, it turned out that it was a mine hidden in a place full of bushes and lush vegetation.

Walking into the cave, I saw seven or eight people burning and smelting there.Liu Yinggui quickly pointed and said, "This is a smelting place, and what is produced is gold!"

After digging a little deeper, I saw twenty or thirty people washing something there.Liu Yinggui explained again: "This is the place where the sand is selected. After washing, the gold sand is selected and sent outside to be smelted, and then the gold is produced."

In the end, after going a hundred or ten steps deeper, Zhang Shun saw a hard worker digging there with an oil lamp.Zhang Shun felt that it was difficult to breathe, so he quickly backed out, and ordered: "This mine is too deep, it is inevitable that you will not be able to breathe. Dig more vents, just in case."
