The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 112 Take over the Fifth Battalion in an all-round way and arrange defense!
"Stick to the Fifth Battalion? This strategy is not a long-term solution." Yang Shunan and Song Yingkui had the same idea, and did not think that defending the Fifth Battalion was useful for the overall situation.

"What's the long-term plan at this time? Hold on to the fifth battalion to wait for the times to change! Xifan has been established for a long time and is not a grassroots team. It may be violent at the beginning, but after a long time, I think it will be governed. In short We must defend the fifth battalion first. Tomorrow morning, let’s go to the pavilion of the fifth battalion, meet with the old folks, and discuss the strategy of sticking to the fifth battalion.”

"Defense, since you want to stick to the fifth battalion, I think that there is one thing that I have to figure out. Now, you are the biggest officer of my fifth battalion. If you stick to the place, it is most forbidden to order multiple sects, and people will be confused. Considering this, I suggest When discussing matters with the villagers tomorrow, the garrison will act as an official and order the whole town. In the extraordinary time before, all military affairs and civil affairs of the whole town were under the control of our garrison. Only in this way can the whole town be able to defend the land Pending change!"

This old Yang is also a talent, the first thing that comes to mind at this time is to take power!Needless to say, this proposal seems to be necessary.Now that there is no hope from the outside, we can only tap the potential from within the Wuying. If we want to dig out the potential of the Wuying and the whole town, we can't do it without taking full power.

"Well! The adjutant's words are indeed reasonable, but it seems a bit too hasty for me to say. How about this, the adjutant will act early tomorrow, meet Liu Hongguang and Jia Xiang'an first, and suggest that they come to the village elders' assembly, and Bring this up in advance at the meeting, and then I will make a decision at my own discretion, so that the name change will be justified."

Song Yingkui is tempted to take control of the Wuying authority, but he thinks it will look better if he goes through the motions.Don't the important people know how to play tricks of pushing and rejecting?Although Wuying is small, there must be drama.

"Master Garrison has a good idea. Tomorrow the rooster crows all over the place, so I'll get up and go look for the elder Liu Jia."

At this moment, Yang Shunan admired Song Yingkui, a young man, even more in his heart. With this sophisticated and calculating temperament, this doll would definitely accomplish great things.

After dawn on the second day, Song Yingkui ordered fifty sword and shield fighters in the pass, and followed him to Wuying Town Street. For him today, what he has to do is a big event, and the scene must be well-prepared.The sentinel team has other things to do, so why don't they bring more infantry to support the field.

On the street, the villagers who had been notified in advance by the sentry cavalry had already arrived at the street entrance.Although Shiping Pass has been established for more than half a year, it is the first time that it has been treated so grandly by the villagers.A scholar in prosperous times and a soldier in troubled times, Song Yingkui with soldiers and horses is the most valuable time.

"Master Garrison, now the army is in turmoil and the land is in turmoil. The lives of my fellow villagers in the five camps all depend on your protection." Han Yuhong spoke first on behalf of the elders.

"Song was born in the fifth battalion and grew up in the fifth battalion. It is his duty to guard the village and defend the land. Now the imperial court is going to abandon our people in Xisu, but we villagers still have to survive. Today, I am in front of all the villagers. Just to make a statement, my Shiping Pass garrison will not retreat an inch of ground unless it is the last soldier. I will never go to other villages to be a lonely ghost, and I will die at the boundary of our fifth camp." Since it is temporarily If you want to stick to it, you must first have enough momentum, and what will happen in the future is another matter. The current character set must stand alone and fight bravely, fighting hard and never retreating.It is necessary to cut off the image of an escaped official like the second uncle.

"It's really a blessing for the people of my five battalions to have a superior officer like the garrison. I wait for the elders, and I am grateful for the great kindness of the garrison." The establishment of people really worked, and the expressions of the villagers immediately became excited.

In addition to the emotional mobilization of the surrounding villagers, other people around the street were also moved, and some even took the lead in shouting slogans.

Taking advantage of the popular support, Song Yingkui came to Liting to have a formal discussion with the villagers.

There was a little surprise during the discussion. The original Ting Wei, who had been connected in advance, hadn't spoken yet. Han Yuhong, Ting Wei, unexpectedly proposed that Song Yingkui temporarily take over the power of the Five Battalions and One Ying, and lead the villagers to defend against powerful enemies.

Can't even use it?It seems that my previous plan was a bit redundant.

"Ting Wei, the taxes and grains collected this year haven't been escorted to the county yet, have they?" Once you have power, you have to use it. After Song Yingkui took power, the first thing he cared about was taxes and grains.

"So that the garrison knows that this year's official rations have not been fully collected, and they are temporarily placed in the pavilion."

"Okay! The situation is critical, and the tax and food are still in our Fifth Battalion. They can be used by me, and I can use my food to protect my land. I will order that the Fifth Battalion's pavilions and warehouses will be temporarily guarded by Shiping Pass Garrison. After the situation is stable, we will deal with it. All the households in the five battalions will send one person from each household to serve as soldiers in the garrison to defend our land. Those who have family members who have served in our army or workshops before are exempted from military service .

In addition, each village uses the remaining young men to form a guard team to guard their own village.The official will let people rush to manufacture some ordnance and distribute it to the various guard teams as soon as possible to enrich the combat strength of the guard team.The above matters were completed by Ting Wei leading the villagers to assist the garrison.

Tomorrow Japanese officials will take people to Langwa Mountain Pass to check the geography and select a site for the pass, and then immediately start building the pass. "

If you want to defend the fifth battalion, it is definitely not enough to rely on the three hundred soldiers under your hand.So Song Yingkui hurriedly arranged for the expansion of troops.There are more than 800 households registered in Wuying. Families in this era are relatively large, and the impact of recruiting a male from each household is not too big.After a rough calculation, leaving aside the quota occupied by workshop workers, there will be about 700 soldiers after the conscription is completed.If there are seven hundred soldiers, the hand will be a little more generous, not as stretched as it is now.

The passage of Langwa Mountain Pass is very narrow. It is not difficult to choose a good location to build a closed gate, and then put a few cannons on it.

"Do we need to mobilize all the strong men in our town to build the garrison and build the Langwa pass? I don't know if there is enough time?" Han Yuhong and other village elders in the Langwa pass repaired the pass. Repair the Guanbao before the Fan soldiers come.

"It doesn't take so many people. Ting Wei will find a way to recruit 200 people to help transport materials from Shiping Pass to Langwa Pass. It will take about ten days to close the gate. I hope it will come in time." Wolf Washan is a stone mountain. Song Yingkui was going to use local materials to find a way to blow up some stones with gunpowder, then pick some stones from the ravine, and directly use cement to build the stone gate.The built pass is not a square fort like Shiping Pass, but only one wall is built according to the geography, and it is enough to block the enemies entering the mountain pass on the northwest side.

The Xifan soldiers should not have the ability to charge against artillery fire. If they have that ability, they can only say that God will not help me.

"With such a small number of people? In that case, the defense, or we can just build the Guancheng along the mouth of the Sichuan Gorge, and the manpower should be enough. If these two fortresses are built, our fifth battalion is really expected to be able to resist the barbarians Soldiers abroad."
