The villagers proposed to build the Guanbao along the gorge, but Song Yingkui rejected it on the grounds of limited manpower.

The Yanchuan gorge is too thin, and there is not much difference between building a pass and not building a pass. For the time being, he has not yet figured out how to defend against the enemy along the Sichuan direction.Let's block the Langwa Mountain Pass first, how can there be a boundary in the world that can be completely blocked?

After simply communicating with the elders of the Fifth Battalion about the defense of the Fifth Battalion, Song Yingkui returned to Shiping Pass and held a formal military council meeting with Yang Shunan and others.

"Today, the official and the village elders of Wuying have basically agreed on the regulations for sticking to the Wuying. You should know in your heart that all of us are in a situation now. There is no choice but to stick to it! For the time being, I am still confident in keeping the boundaries of the Wuying. It's not based on the number of soldiers, it depends on the fact that there are firearms that can defeat ten thousand people. Everyone has seen the power of muskets and grenades on the battlefield. Everyone should feel the movement.

With such sharp weapons in hand, no matter how many enemies come, I have the confidence to keep them out of the range of the firearms.Therefore, although people outside are panicking now, the people of our Shiping Pass garrison must be stable.If people are stable, great things can be accomplished.

Next, I will talk about the expansion of troops and the guarding of customs.After the expansion of the army, we should have as many as six or seven hundred brothers.Both the spear team and the sword and shield team will be expanded into a brigade of 200 people, the gun team will be expanded into a team of 100 people, and the crossbow team will also be expanded into a centurion team.Due to the lack of horses, the sentry cavalry team can't expand many people for the time being, and we will find a way in the future.On the basis of the five brigades, every ten people form a group, and five groups form a small team. The group leader and the small team leader command the troops and horses.

In addition, each brigade should also have a deputy commander to assist in commanding the troops.Set up a service officer to assist in the management of miscellaneous affairs in the team.The garrison has set up two departments of military order and logistics to assist the officer in commanding the whole army.Today we will discuss the list of candidates for officers at all levels to be established, and then the veterans will be assigned to the officers at all levels first, and the new soldiers will be recruited according to the order after they are in place. "

When there are only three hundred soldiers and horses, there is no need to divide the management too finely. After the expansion of the troops to six or seven hundred, there will be no more extensive management. It will be easier to direct.

Frankly speaking, the current team is just a grass-roots team of Xiangyong.There are basically no qualified generals and managers in the army, and there are not two literate people in the team.The second younger brother Song Yingfang, who has been studying for more than half a year, is a rare cultural person in the team.There is still a long way to go to make this team regular.

It was not until the evening that the big guys basically agreed on the list of managers to be set up. Song Yingkui didn't know whether these people would be useful, but the situation was pressing.

After discussing the candidates, Song Yingkui arranged the division of labor for the next day. Yang Shunan accompanied him to take a dozen sentry riders to Langwa Pass to determine the location of the upcoming Guancheng.The third uncle stayed in the pass, and with the rest of the people, he first regulated the team and waited for the villagers to send the newly recruited soldiers.

In addition, [-] sentry cavalry were selected, divided into six teams, and went to the villages of the fifth battalion for a tour.The purpose of doing this is to convey to the people in the villages the determination of the Shiping garrison to defend the land, and the other purpose is to show a sense of existence, so that everyone can know that there are still people who are in charge of everyone, and don’t let it go without a fight. .

After three days of busy tossing, the villagers finally sent the recruits to their positions.In the rural society, the villagers can't escape the matter of guarding the village and defending the land. Even if they don't want to, they have to do what they should, otherwise they won't be able to survive in this society.Entering the Shiping Pass Garrison to join the army without leaving the town, to put it bluntly, you are still doing volunteer work in your hometown, the purpose is to defend your own homeland. If you escape military service in this matter, why not just leave the Fifth Battalion to escape!
At the same time that the recruits were in place, the construction of the Guancheng at Langwa Pass also started immediately.

"The new Guancheng, let's call it Langguan. It sounds more prestigious." Standing on the selected address of Guancheng, Song Yingkui opened his mouth and gave Guancheng a very grand name.The Guancheng at the Langwa Pass must be related to the place name where it is located. It doesn’t feel domineering to be called Langwa Pass.

The location of the Wolf Pass is in the middle of the Langwa Mountain Pass. The terrain is very narrow, and a twenty-foot-long pass wall can block the pass.In addition to being narrow, this section of the road is also very steep.The steep terrain not only makes defense easier, but also saves the labor of building walls.

The wall designed by Song Yingkui made full use of the favorable location. While building the wall from bottom to top, earth and rocks were also placed on the inner side of the wall.In this way, when the wall is closed, it will be more than ten feet high from the bottom up, but when viewed from the inside of the wall, the height of the wall is less than one person, which is convenient for the defenders to fight on the wall.

When the pass was built, the news that Wazhou City had officially fallen into the hands of Xifan also spread.At the beginning, there were not many people fleeing through the mountain pass, but after building the pass for three to five days, the number of people crossing this road suddenly increased.Some people who fled even saw that the barrier was being built here, so they didn't go forward at all, and took the initiative to stay and ask for help in building the barrier.

Guo Kaifeng, the father-in-law of the third uncle, ran here with his whole family, saying that he wanted to stay in the fifth camp to wait for the times to change.In just a few days, there were close to a thousand refugees stranded in Wuying Town.

Wuying is a small place, so there are so many people at once, and resettlement is a problem.Song Yingkui saw the stranded people crowding together inside and outside Wuying Street, and felt that this was a hidden danger, so he hurriedly called Han Yuhong to discuss how to resettle these people.

"Ting Wei, you set aside an area outside the town and let them build their own huts. They can no longer crowd into the streets like they are now. Now the streets have become refugee camps, and there is not even a place for people to stand."

"Defense, our town is small, and the land outside the town is owned. Whose place do you think is convenient for refugees to settle?" Han Yuhong kicked the ball to Song Yingkui in great embarrassment.

Indeed, the land outside the town is owned by the owner, and the landlord will not be happy to designate it as a refugee camp.Besides, the Fifth Battalion originally had few paddy fields, and it would be a waste of resources to occupy good paddy fields as refugee camps.

But the problem is that these refugees have to find a way to resettle them, right?Otherwise, they have to be driven out of the five camps.Go there to find a place that can house refugees?
The rocky beach on the other side of Huangshiping has basically been taken up by the workshop area.At present, there is enough space for about a thousand people to be accommodated in Wuying, but it seems that there is only the river beach at the confluence of Xiaohezi and Yanchuan River?You can't get people there!

etc!Why can't people be brought there?The place there is huge, and it is still a land of no man. The more important thing is that it is on the top of the mouth of the Yanchuan gorge.What if a city is built directly there?After building a city, it can not only play a role in resettling refugees, but also provide refuge for the people of Zhuangzi like Yangjiabao, Liujiaying, and Yanchuanzi to enter the city during critical periods.There is a big castle standing there, can it also play a role in blocking the enemy from entering the hinterland of the fifth battalion?

The more he thought about it, the more genius Song Yingkui felt he was!Why did you think of the clever strategy of blocking the enemy with one city?Build a castle about [-] feet wide and stand on the river bank along the river. How can the Xifan soldiers enter the fifth battalion?Even if they entered the fifth battalion, they would not be able to hurt the people of the fifth battalion protected by the strong city.
