The Sun Never Sets Great China

After operating for a full month and a half, Zhang Chao led people to manufacture bullets with cartridge cases and breech-loading guns. However, due to the lack of production staff, they could only manufacture more than 20 breech-loading guns and [-] rounds of bullets a day.

At this time, Zhang Gao came to Zhang Huahan and said that because his hometown was robbed by the Dashun Army, all those who were willing to follow Zhang Huahan and the families of some soldiers of the Chinese Army could not survive and had to move here. There were about 8 people. People went to lead the way, but so many people need a lot of food, what should I do?

Zhang Huahan asked Zhang Gao, "How much food do we have now?" Zhang Gao said, "In addition to what we had in the cottage, we bought a lot from everywhere, enough to feed 8 people for half a month, and food in a month." It will mature, and after all the harvest, we will have enough food to support more than 8 people for a month."

Zhang Huahan summoned Zhang Chao, Wang Hao, Zhang Liang, Li Wenhua, and Zhao Qiang to the hall for a meeting, and they were all present.Zhang Gao first talked about the situation, and Li Wenhua, the commander of the second battalion, said: "It's actually a good thing. The powerful firearms made by Zhang Xianren need people to make them. I've seen Zhang Xianren's magical gadgets need people. Now the main reason is that there is little food. There are three big cottages around us, they have gathered a lot of food and grass, and because of the last battle it was almost weakened by Baida to the lowest level, the largest one has more than 400 people, but the combined food of the three of them is no less than ours How much.” Zhang Chao said: “From now on, just call me by my name, there is no need to add any titles, what Battalion Commander Li said makes sense, we can rebuild those three cottages after we capture them, 8 people can barely be arranged in our valley. 8 people live, but it’s too crowded. A small amount can be arranged in the three cottages, and we can support each other. We have cement and manpower, and we can rebuild it in half a month. When people come, we will limit the food supply. , People other than the army will supply [-]% of the supply, and when the cottages have been rebuilt and the troops have been trained for shooting and training, they can go to rob the Qing army of food." Zhang Gao said: "The vanguard of the Qing army has almost arrived in Shaanxi. Now, the big troops will be here soon, we have to be careful."

Zhang Huahan said to Zhang Chao: "I was making coke when you were rebuilding the city wall. I didn't look at it. Can it support the cannons of the Qing army?" Our breech-loading guns are also fast, and when people come, we can start making tools and machines."

Zhang Huahan said: "Everyone started to prepare. The three battalions attacked the three villages. They used dynamite bags to blow up the openings and kill them. Anyway, it was going to be rebuilt, and it just happened to be rebuilt after the bombing." Everyone responded in unison.

In the dark night, Zhang Liang led a battalion of more than 800 soldiers to the cottage numbered No. 400 by the head of the regiment and Zhang Chao. He attacked the cottage with the largest number of people among the three cottages with more than [-] people. He took pictures Patting the shoulder of Wang Huzi, the monitor of the blasting squad next to him, he said: "Huzi, you go up and light the explosive bag in the corner and come back quickly. The explosive is not a joke. He still has lingering fears about the day before yesterday when he was experimenting with the power of the explosive bag." After the explosion, the sound was louder than the loudest thunder. My ears couldn't hear anything at the time, and my feet trembled, and my heart beat a lot faster. The entire hill was flattened. It was terrible. Yes. Two of the soldiers in the regiment watching the explosion immediately pissed their pants, and dozens of others sat down in shock. I recalled that Li Wenhua and Zhao Qiang became angry and criticized the person in their battalion who pissed their pants. The people in my battalion are indeed the best, and I must be the first to take down the No. [-] cottage this time."

Wang Huzi said: "Master Zhang Chao, don't worry, we are all proficient under the personal guidance of Master Zhang Chao and the head of the regiment. It is as simple as drinking water. Don't worry, our team guarantees to complete the task."

After finishing speaking, Wang Huzi led the soldiers in his class to carry a few packages and fast forward, and quickly ran under the city wall of the cottage. They found a place to place the explosives. He ran back quickly, and ran back to the ambush site of the brigade at a faster speed.

Not long after Wang Huzi and others returned to the formation, there was a huge rumbling sound accompanied by the earth shaking. A large part of the wall of the No. [-] cottage collapsed, and the dust covering the sky rose up. Ah!" "Come on!" The soldiers of the first battalion shouted and rushed up with big knives in hand.

The battle was almost over from the beginning. The bandits guarding the city wall had already been turned into pieces of meat. The bandits inside thought the sky was falling, and they didn't want to fight at all. When they saw a battalion of soldiers carrying big knives, they either ran away or surrendered. A bandit was scared to death on the bed by the loud explosion. There were more than 500 captured girls and some laborers in the cottage. Zhang Liang followed Zhang Huahan's instructions and told them the purpose of the army. The ones who didn't want to stay were paid for the travel expenses. As a result, except for dozens of laborers and three women who left, most of them stayed. They stayed with the slogan of wearing clothes, but saw that they were an army that treated them well, had a sense of security, and was in chaos everywhere. Their families were also killed by bandits, but they were not killed by bandits. Those who killed and fled don't know where they went, but they are still safe here.

Zhang Liang didn't know that the very good ideas of the unmarried women and girls under him were the result of the free love proposed by Zhang Huahan. If the two of them liked each other, they could easily arrange marriage without any burden. Poor people who are ready to beat bachelors can't even think about it. The uprising troops, bandit troops and soldiers of the Ming army are not allowed to touch women at all. Even if there are women, they are occupied by officials. They are really much happier. Well, the poor know how to cherish women more than the officials, and they use sincerity. How can those girls and women who are ruined every day not be moved to stay?The answer is yes.

When Zhang Liang reported back to the Shanshan Village, he saw that Li Wenhua and Zhao Qiang also took down the No. [-] and No. [-] cottages they attacked.It turned out that the two of them were also holding their breath. This time, they must win their goals faster than Zhang Liang. The brothers in their battalion are no worse than those in the first battalion. They also attacked the village at night according to Zhang Huahan's arrangement. Three hundred, so he came back faster than Zhang Liang.

Zhang Huahan summoned officers above the company commander to a meeting.When all the people arrived, Zhang Huahan said to everyone: "There are some things to call everyone for your reference, but before that, let me say something, we always have a vast land in the mountain village and valley, we wait for the villagers to come. Build a city called Zhonghua City. Zhang Chao will design a city with modern high-rise buildings. After that, let the troops publicize it. Okay, let’s talk about the main thing now. We don’t have military flags or numbers. We didn’t have time to prepare before. Due to my negligence, Zhang Chao and I made a choice, and now we have chosen a military flag, which is a military flag with the word "China" in gold on the red background, please take a look." Then he took out the prepared flag for everyone to see, everyone They all applauded.

Zhang Huahan said: "The flag has been selected, and the rest is the problem of the bugle. Now almost all military forces use drums and gongs as equipment for commanding the battlefield, while the Qing army still blows the horn with animal horns, but the sound is monotonous." , and we want to use iron bugles, our bugles can travel farther than drums, and they are clearer and can express more meanings. Both sides on the battlefield are full of gongs and drums, which can easily mislead the troops of both sides , and after choosing the sound of the bugle, it can also improve morale." He thought of the People's Liberation Army's charging bugle, which made people move forward.

Zhang Huahan asked Zhang Chao to take out the iron horn that he had made, and asked him to blow some trumpets first. As a result, after Zhang Chao blew the horn, the officers applauded, especially Zhang Chao blew the revised version of the People's Liberation Army's charge horn. Finally, everyone excitedly asked for a charge now.

After the issue of the bugle number and the military flag was resolved, Zhang Huahan said to everyone: "Now we only have about 3000 guns, and after using more than 1000 rounds of bullets for live ammunition training, there are still more than [-] rounds left. The regiment composed of selected people with good marksmanship is a sharpshooter company, and even they have three and a half men with a gun, so if we encounter a war within a month, we will still rely on our big swords, but we still have good things Yes, everyone has seen the power of the explosive pack. If the explosive pack is thrown into the enemy group to explode, hehe, everyone, think about the effect. Except for our city wall made of reinforced concrete, iron and stone, I can’t find it. It's a wall that can't be blown down."

Everyone excitedly asked how to use it.In fact, Zhang Huahan stole the method of firing explosives from oil barrels commonly used in the War of Liberation, and it became his idea. Just make an iron barrel and bury gunpowder, then ignite the explosives, and then ignite the gunpowder to release the explosives. Sprayed onto the enemy's position and exploded, the shells of the flowering cannons, which are as powerful as cannons, are much more powerful than the current solid shells.This was Zhang Huahan's way of being forced to deal with the Qing army's cannons when he knew that Zhang Chao's breech-loading cannons would not be made in a while.

The next step is to train a group of soldiers who can skillfully operate explosives and cannons, and Zhang Chao also simply wrote some war strategies from ancient times to the present under the reminder of Zhang Huahan and compiled them into a manual for all officers above the platoon leader to learn. From time to time, it is reflected in the role of the literate adjutant assigned to each company commander and above. Many officers are illiterate. When the adjutant watches and explains, but the platoon leader does not know how to read, let the adjutant of the company commander explain to himself. Let the role of the adjutant that those warriors look down upon come into play, and let those illiterate warriors start to respect these important scholars.

A few days later, a mighty refugee-like team of more than 8 people arrived. Zhang Huahan looked at the endless people in rags, the busy Chinese soldiers and women's associations, China City and the three All the 10 people in the cottage were greeting and arranging these people, muttering to himself, although he couldn't see the difference between 2 and 8, the people in front of him were definitely not [-] or [-] more He asked Wang Hong beside him to call Zhang Gao, and after a while Zhang Gao ran over sweating profusely, and said to Zhang Huahan, "Master, what do you want from me? I'm too busy." Zhang Huahan asked: "How many people came? I don't think there are more than [-] people!" Zhang Gao said, "Master, I don't know. Shaanxi and Shanxi are in chaos. The Ming army, Qing army and Dashun The army and the armed forces everywhere fought indiscriminately, and many people were fleeing. Everyone saw that the folks came to the Datong society you established. How could there be anyone who didn’t follow? I met along the way, and I heard that they followed, people There are more and more people, and I don’t know how many people there are. I will know the details after arranging the statistics.” Zhang Huahan nodded and said, “You’ve done a good job, but you let people keep an eye on you, in case there are people with evil intentions inside. " Zhang Gao said: "Understood, young master." Zhang Huahan said: "Go and do your work." Zhang Gao went down.

At this time, Zhang Chao came over. He was drawing a few blueprints of the machine in his hand, and said to Zhang Huahan: "18 people, there will be more in the future, and there will be no one to worry about when we come back. The food is only the food." It is enough for more than ten days, and each person can only distribute half of the food equivalent to the soldiers every day, twice a day, half of the elderly and children, and insist on it for a month. After the defense and housing are built, the food will be robbed. I guess it is so big here today. People from all walks of life must have noticed us." Zhang Huahan looked at the only person who could make his wish come true, sighed and said: "You have been working hard on construction and production for the past two days, and you have produced a large steel refining furnace. The small earthen construction is no longer suitable, and a large number of guns should be built as soon as possible." Zhang Chao continued to draw complicated machine sketches and said: "No problem, I think the same way, you have no objection to building six floors of residential buildings, after all There are too many people, and the original three-story idea seems to be unable to meet the needs of the number of people. After all, we still need to build an industrial zone and an agricultural zone, so I have an idea to tell you.”

Zhang Huahan said: "Just tell me what you have." Zhang Chao said: "I also saw so many people coming. There are many continuous mountains behind our valley, and there are many valleys. After dismantling tens of meters wide and building a city wall, if we enclose those easy-to-defend and difficult-to-attack valleys into our city, we can accommodate tens of millions of people to live there, and we can also build a fairly large industrial base, but we have to wait for the troops to have it. It can only be implemented after tens of thousands of soldiers equipped with rear-mounted guns. You pay attention, all the soldiers who start to follow you and the people who have heard your speeches are absolutely trustworthy. , you have to pay attention."
