Villager of Daming

Chapter 564 The team returns to deliver the good news (second update)
A team of [-] people set off, bringing snowmobiles and camels, and there were craftsmen who were good at prospecting. They prepared a lot of luggage and agreed to dig in the place for a few days and come back if nothing was found.

In fact, it's not exactly digging, it's also about blasting. Blow up a place with a bang to see what's there.

Everyone is looking forward to it, because the village chief said there is salt. If salt is found there, even if it is a thousand miles away, it will be closer than other places.

Less than an hour after the 1000 people left, the village commander sent another 1000 people, first heading north and then taking a detour. The terrain was relatively flat and there was no need to continuously climb mountains.

"It's so fast, the wind is like a knife." On the other side, Tang He was on the way. He finally understood why the craftsman said he could get back in eleven days.

Today's snowmobiles pull boats and can travel eighty miles in an hour. They run around the clock, covering nearly a thousand miles in a day.

According to the route back from Helin, it is about [-] miles. Taking into account other unexpected situations and road delays, eleven days is really no problem.

If this was the case when we were fighting Beiyuan in the past, we could send troops in winter, and Beiyuan would not be able to react at all.

The bigger the snow, the better. The car goes faster on the snow than on the ground, swishing.

He now wants to organize troops to chase Bei Yuan. If he asks you to run, how far can you run in one day?
With this mobility, I will bully you to death. Xiaqiu Village is awesome!Scary!

He shouted and lowered his head, trying to reduce the area that was blown by the wind.

Others were also excited, with a layer of grease on their faces. Except for the driver, everyone else was wrapped in quilts and ready to change shifts at any time.

The driver felt the most discomfort. The thick leather jacket on his body was beaten through by the wind. Fortunately, there were layers of cashmere jacket inside.

There are also gloves inside the gloves on the hands, made of lambskin, and the head is covered, with only one sunglasses exposed.

A small hill appeared in front of them. The team stopped, hurriedly went to the toilet, and replaced the driver. The person who was replaced shivered in the blanket, ate meat floss, and drank water from the water bag.

The water bladder was kept in someone's arms, otherwise it would freeze hard and it would be better to eat snow.

In fact, they can go slower. Those who can light the stove cannot risk their lives.

You can set up a small tent, light a fire on the stove, and eat canned food, meat floss, or scones, no problem.

81 people discussed it, when they can no longer hold on, when should they rest and have a good meal, but don't hold on, it's not worth dying.

……

A hundred miles away from the east, west, north and south of Helin City, everyone selected a location to build the fort, forming a cross with Helin City.

Then continue to build the fort east and west based on the distance between the north and south and Helin City. The distance in the middle may not be a hundred miles, depending on the actual situation.

For example, if there is a river, then it should be farther or closer. If the three earth fort lines are built, they will not be built to the north, but to the south, and the distance will be increased.

The first three lines are the most important. If they are stable, the teams behind will have time to react.

After the grass grows up and the earth fort is built, two earth forts will be patrolled every day, each fifty miles away.

If an enemy is passing by, you can tell by looking at the grass. A horse cannot run for a hundred miles without eating grass. There will be traces of grass eating.

If it's just a few dozen people riding here, no matter what, I guarantee you won't be able to go back.

"Build a beacon tower between forts. You don't need to leave too many soldiers on the beacon tower. When the enemy lights the beacon smoke, 100 soldiers are enough."

Zhu Biao arranged according to the normal defense mode. The people on the beacon tower were willing to die. They found the enemy, lit the beacon and completed the mission.

Let the enemy attack the beacon tower!
The enemy wants to eat these 100 people, but it is unthinkable without paying the price of 1000 people.

Everyone used new muskets and started shooting when they were far away. When they got closer, others built ladders to climb the city wall and threw explosive packets.When you die in the end, just use up all the bullets and explosives. If you can hit the gun with it, hit it, but don't throw it at the enemy.

Even if they took the gun, they couldn't imitate it. They didn't even know what kind of propellant was used, and whether the rifling would work?

Then the smoke could be seen in other places, and troops were immediately sent out to see how fast the Beiyuan people could run.

They ran away and waited to fight them in winter, when it snowed heavily.

Zhu Biao was confident of winning the battle in winter. If the enemy wanted to hide in the snow and ambush them, they would freeze to death.

Zhu Fang didn’t believe that Beiyuan would fight back this year: “They are still trying their best to survive! Their morale has long been gone.

When the grass grows taller, they can at most send some scouts to check on the situation. How about we also send people to check on their situation?
See where they went?Did you get into a fight with someone else?Scared them to death, hey hey hey! "

Zhu Ping thought of the scene where the snowmobile passed by and then disappeared after just one glance.

There will be traces left on the snow, and the people of Beiyuan will definitely be confused when they see the traces, because there are no horse hoof prints.

The commander laughed when he heard this: "They have lost a lot of things, and they must first gain a firm foothold before they can consider fighting the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, if they come to attack Ming Dynasty, they will let Ming Dynasty continue to send troops to attack them, which they will not be able to bear.

They would annex small tribes and then stabilize those small tribes, and the craftsmen among them would work on better firearms. "

"Yes!" Zhu Xi agreed: "The commander is right, they must find a way to deal with flintlock guns before they dare to fight. Their soldiers are scared."

Zhu Biao thought about it and then reassured himself that Beiyuan was at a disadvantage because of his weapons, not because of his normal fighting spirit.

That way Beiyuan won't worry about the strategic and tactical issues, but now it's about weapons that he doesn't know how to restrain.

The generals of the Ming Dynasty would also not approve of beating enemies who could not be understood.

……

On February [-], when everyone was doing things as usual, a group of people ran into the city, shouting as they ran: "Salt has been discovered. Salt mine. There is salt, a lot of salt, and gems. Come and see." , His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the King of Qin..."

A group of people shouted in confusion, and other people's eyes lit up, "Salt?"Is there any salt?

When the people in Xiaqiu Village got the news, including Zhu Wentian, they were also happy, but they were afraid that they would not be found.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, His Highness the King of Qin, a hundred of us came back, and the others stayed there to set up camp. We saw people from another team, and their speed was no slower than ours."

Among the people running back, one rushed to the front and danced directly to talk to Zhu Biao and Zhu Xi without even saluting.

The two of them didn't care about etiquette, they were focused on what they were shouting.

"Are there gems and salt? Where are they?" Zhu Xi asked anxiously.

"Here, Your Highnesses, look, these gems are colorful, do they look like a rainbow? This is salt, a little bitter, rock salt, we can handle it, right? Anyway, if you eat like this, it feels like eating too much will damage your body."

The man took out two bags from his arms. One contained stones of several different shapes and colors, and the other contained large grains of yellow-white salt. You could tell by the color that he couldn't eat it directly.

The director touched the salt with some saliva on his finger, licked it lightly with his tongue, and spat it out: "It's salt."
