Start a Ming Dynasty plane

Chapter 365 This wall was repaired in seven days?

"Well, I don't worry about Dezhen's work. In addition, Mengzi is also there. Copper coins are as solid as gold, but our logistics work must keep up, and gunpowder must be sufficient. We have no shortage of ammunition in Lantian. When fighting, we can use firepower to cover everything. Covering with firepower, one less person can be sacrificed, and one less person will be sacrificed."

"Yes."

After hearing this, Gu Zi nodded, and Li Chaosheng said, "Human life is the most precious thing in this world. As for other things, they are not important. We can earn back if we lose them."

Gu Zi nodded after hearing this: "What the county lord said is that the intelligence from northern Shaanxi has sent a message. Gao Yingxiang's troops have been besieged in Shijiawan. The army is short of food and grass, and people's hearts are fluctuating. I am afraid that defeat will happen sooner or later. "

"In addition, Lu Xiangsheng also defeated Li Zicheng who was blocking the way. Li Zicheng's troops turned south and plundered other state capitals in Shanxi. I am afraid that they will not be able to rescue Gao Yingxiang."

After hearing this, Li Chaosheng nodded and said, "Gao Yingxiang has come to an end."

In fact, in the real history, Gao Yingxiang was also besieged and killed by Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and others, but in the real history Gao Yingxiang was arrested in the Huguang area. Unfortunately, in this world, Gao Yingxiang has no possibility of spreading Huguang because Lu was captured by Li Chaosheng It's blocked.

Li Chaosheng occupied southern Shaanxi, blocked Gao Yingxiang's road to the south, and has been supporting Hong Chengchou's army, nailing Gao Yingxiang to the north of Shaanxi, so that his army had no chance to go south. Originally, Li Chaosheng wanted to nail Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to death. Unfortunately, the two of them detoured separately and successfully went south, which led to the failure of Li Chaosheng's plan.

However, Li Chaosheng doesn't care too much about this. Li Chaosheng's current strategy is to nibble away step by step. You can make trouble outside as you like, but as long as this place is annexed by Lantian, then Li Chaosheng will start to govern this place quickly. With the construction of water conservancy, the formation of militias, the restoration of commercial roads, and a series of means, this place was revitalized by Li Chaosheng.

And as long as this place is fully revitalized, Li Chaosheng will not allow anyone to get involved. As for the place that Li Chaosheng did not occupy, I'm sorry, we don't care about it.

Li Chaosheng needs to be in a completely clean Ming Dynasty. Only in such a Ming Dynasty can Li Chaosheng draw the patterns he wants. almost.

Li Chaosheng nodded after listening to Guzi's report, and said, "Well, always pay attention to the situation in northern Shaanxi. When Gao Yingxiang is defeated, we can extend our tentacles to northern Shaanxi. We have never been too involved in northern Shaanxi, mainly because of Gao Yingxiang and the others. Tendency there, when Gao Yingxiang is gone, the land here will belong to us, we can't just have half of Shaanxi forever."

After hearing this, Gu Zi said: "What the county lord said is very true. The land in southern Shaanxi has been seriously insufficient these years. People in our county have been coveting the land in northern Shaanxi for a long time, and this time they may be able to get their wish. "

Li Chaosheng said: "Yes, by occupying northern Shaanxi, we will have the entire Guanzhong area, and we will have the foundation of our hegemony."

After hearing this, Gu Zi looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "Can the county government have a foundation of hegemony in Guanzhong?"

Li Chaosheng said with a smile: "Guanzhong is not small. At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was only a mere place in Guanzhong. Later, the unified world was based on the foundation of Guanzhong. There is also the Qin Dynasty. The territory occupied by the old Qin people is also larger Guanzhong is not much bigger, but later it still destroys the six kingdoms and unifies the world. It can be seen that this land in Guanzhong has been the foundation of emperors since ancient times, and if we have it all, we will have the best chance to aspire to the top."

After hearing this, Gu Zi excitedly said, "The county lord will definitely be able to do that."

Li Chaosheng laughed and said, "We will definitely be able to do that."

……

"Is this the copper coin gate?"

After five days of trekking, Sun Kewang's 12 people finally arrived outside the Tongqian Pass, but Sun Kewang was a little dumbfounded when he got here. Some bastard told himself that the Tongqian Pass was just a dilapidated small pass, but look at the current Tongqian Pass , how can there be a trace of dilapidation, the whole body is covered with a layer of gray city wall mud, by the way, what is this gray city wall mud?
Just when Sun Kewang was wondering, someone came up and said, "Commander, this Tongqin Pass has obviously been repaired by the Lantian Army. When I passed by this place half a month ago, there was no gray city wall here."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang stared and said, "Half a month ago, Lantian was able to build a city wall in half a month?"

After hearing this, Ai Nengqi came over pouted and said, "Brother, it's not half a month, seven days at most. When I came back from Lantian, the city wall was still dilapidated. It can be easily conquered, but I thought it would become such a tall existence today."

"What? Seven days!"

Hearing Sun Kewang's words, Liu Wenxiu's eyes widened. In their imagination, the repair of a city wall should at least take months as the unit of measurement. How did Lantian manage such a tall city wall in seven days?

Is Lan Tian really so scary?

The two looked at each other with deep fear in each other's eyes.

At this time, a man came out from the crowd. This man was Sun Kewang's military adviser. He is well-known in the army for his knowledge and resourcefulness. At this time, this man stepped forward and said: "Commander, don't be so panic-stricken. I know this thing. It's called cement." , is a special product of Lantian, there are five large cement factories in Lantian, and there is one in Ankang area, presumably they are the city walls built with cement."

"cement?"

After hearing this, Sun Kewang had a question mark on his face. At this time, the military adviser continued: "This thing is amazing. It can be built very quickly. Unlike yellow mud, which is difficult to shape, this thing can be shaped very quickly. It can be shaped in an hour, and it is not afraid of rain. Let's see, it should have rained not long ago here, but it didn't affect the construction of the city wall, so I have to say, it's really a miracle."

Sun Kewang's eyes widened after hearing this, for Lan Tian actually had such a strange thing.

"It is said that this thing was invented by Lantian County Venerable himself. I have to say that Li Chaosheng is really an outstanding person in the world."

The master admired Li Chaosheng very much, Sun Kewang nodded and said, "This Li Chaosheng is a character."

Ai Nengqi was very unhappy when he heard this, and said: "Don't grow others' aspirations and destroy your own prestige, Li Chaosheng will also know some tricks, and he may not be capable when he really fights a war. Let's get ready, everyone. Let's attack, and let Lan Tian know how powerful we are."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Alright, the whole army is ready."

"Wait a minute, brother. The army has traveled a long distance and is physically and mentally exhausted. If the Tongqian Pass is the same as before, it can be defeated quickly. But now that the city pass is strong, I am afraid it will not be captured in a short time. If we rush blindly, we may suffer heavy losses."

Liu Wenxiu stopped Sun Kewang at this moment, Sun Kewang thought for a while and nodded after hearing this, "That's right, let me tell you, the army camps on the spot to rest for a day, and tomorrow morning, raise the three armies and attack."

"Yes."

After hearing this, someone shouted again: "The commander has an order, the whole army camps, and the city will be attacked tomorrow!"

After saying this, the officers naturally arranged for camping, and the refugees were all locked up. A group of bandits pointed their weapons at them and they were not allowed to resist. If they resisted, they would be killed on the spot without mercy.

The army camped, Sun Kewang took Liu Wenxiu, Ainengqi looked at the copper coins in front of him and said: "Tomorrow, if we can take this city, we can enter Lantian County. I heard that Lantian is a place where Wufu Minfeng , the common people can still eat meat at ordinary times, and their childhood is like being in the sky.”

Liu Wenxiu heard this and said: "That's right, if we can win Lantian, we brothers will all have a better life."

At this time Ai Nengqi's waist was hunched, and his butt was burning hot at this time, but Ai Nengqi said: "I don't care about these, I just want to go to Lantian and kill Li Chaosheng with my own hands to avenge my ass. "

After hearing this, the two of them looked at Ai Nengqi with a hint of sarcasm in their eyes. If you cut Li Chaosheng alive, you really dare to think what kind of character Li Chaosheng is. If you cut him alive, let alone you, even the foster father Not necessarily eligible.

But they are not going to correct this silly brother, people have to have dreams, don't they?
Thinking about it here, in Tongqian Pass, Li Dezhen, Li Chaomeng, and a group of generals all gathered on the city wall, looking at the crowd of 12 troops below.

"It's really spectacular."

Li Dezhen looked at the 12 army of 12 people below, and couldn't help but exclaimed, 12 people, standing there are all heads, as long as there are tens of thousands of people, there is no limit, these [-] people Just queuing up can cover two miles. Seeing these people, Li Dezhen couldn't help sighing.

Li Dewu, a general of the Li family standing behind Li Dezhen, said, "It's a mob, so what if there are more people."

After hearing this, Li Dezhen said: "Hey, don't underestimate the enemy."

At this time, a person said: "Look at their army formation. The regular army of the rogues is hiding behind the refugees. If we want to fight their regular army, we have to destroy these refugees first. Look at these refugees. They are treated like pigs and dogs. Humans, how could the rogues do this?"

After hearing this, a man said: "The rogues are so brutal, they are simply inhumane, they are really a bunch of damn animals."

After hearing this, everyone scolded the rogues as inhumans, but no one said that the enemy was too powerful to fight, because these people were not like an army except for their large number. Maybe Sun Kewang, Liu Wenxiu, Ai Neng Qi, one or two thousand of their guards belong to the core soldiers. What does a qualified soldier look like?
At this time, Li Chaomeng was looking at the camp of the rogues with a binoculars. He made a note in his heart and didn't say a word. Soon Li Dezhen said: "Okay, I've seen enough to see. I will announce the battle order. In this battle, I will The army is mainly guarded, and they will take the initiative to fight without going out of the city. Tonight, the first brigade will be in charge of guarding, and the rest of the personnel will rest immediately, and they must be prepared for a protracted battle with the enemy."

"Yes."

Li Dewu, the brigade commander of the first brigade, stepped forward to salute after hearing this, and the others also responded, followed by Li Dezhen to check the time and said: "It's time to eat, let the cooking team know to serve the meal."

"Yes."

The order was notified immediately. At this time, after Sun Kewang looked around outside, Liu Wenxiu said: "It's almost time, it's time to put dinner."

After hearing this, Sun Kewang said: "Well, let the brothers eat something dry, tomorrow I have to work hard."

"Yes."

The two sides were having dinner. At this time, Sun Kewang's troops, the regular rogues, had dry food to eat today, and everyone was overjoyed.

"Brothers, let's have a meal. The commander-in-chief is kind enough to eat dry food. Each person will have three steamed rice buns."

"Oh."

After hearing this, the rogues were very happy, and immediately began to distribute corn bread with millet noodles. Several soldiers sat around a small iron pot, and then a soldier took out a piece of sackcloth from his arms, and then cut it down with scissors. A small piece was thrown into the pot, and the rest of the people also took out the sackcloth from their arms and threw a small piece into the pot.

The hot cauldron quickly boiled the sackcloth strips, and each soldier filled a bowl with a large bowl of sackcloth strips of water, and gnawed on the cornbread with the sackcloth strips of water, with a trace of happiness on their faces. It was a good day to eat Dry food, no need to starve.

The rest of the rogues were also very satisfied. As for the linen strips they used just now, they were called vinegar strips, and their function was to carry vinegar.

The production method is also very simple, that is, throw the cloth strips such as linen and cotton cloth into the vinegar tank to pickle them. After drying, the cloth will be sour. Boil hot water to drink vinegar.

Don’t underestimate this vinegar stick, it played a very important role in ancient marches and wars. Soldiers’ monotonous diet also depended on these things to season. Moreover, there are no plastic bottles in this era, and the earthen pot is fragile, so you can only use vinegar sticks This stuff comes with vinegar.

Regular rogues eat corn bread and drink vinegar, which is really popular and sour.

But the refugees are miserable. Everyone has a bowl of rice soup with few grains of rice. At this time, the rogues are distributing bowls to each person. Some see that the rice soup is too watery, so they beg the rogues to give them a little dry mouth. The old mother at home is already hungry. It's over.

After hearing this, the rogue went up with two whips: "Damn it, your old lady is starving to death, doing my shit, wanting to eat something dry, simple, you will attack the city tomorrow with someone, and I will give you food when you come back If you don’t die, you might join the Eight Great King’s army, and then you’ll have to eat dry.”

"Brother, my old lady is really dying, so please give me a stutter."

The man cried and threw himself on the rogue, and the rogue kicked him away and said fiercely, "Damn it, if you come up again, I will beat you to death."

"You, don't you have an old lady in your family?"

Hearing this, the bandit laughed and said, "Yes, but he starved to death a long time ago. My old mother starved to death and no one gave me a stutter. Why is your old mother starving to death? I will give you a stutter. Get out of here." .”

"you……"

At this time, the refugees were anxious, and at this moment, someone in the crowd shouted: "Father, grandma, grandma has died."

"Ah, my mother!"
