"this……"

Zhang Taiping was shocked by Xu Changqing's solemn questioning. The main reason is that the charcoal fire problem is just a prelude to him. His purpose is to better explain his later strategic plan to Xu Changqing so that his brothers can make more contributions.

However, Zhang Taiping reacted quickly and had already captured the core of the group. He said respectfully: "Master, this is all the speculation of Beizhi. Beizhi has no intention of disturbing the morale of the army... It is mainly because Beizhi noticed yesterday that the engineer brothers were very careful when collecting the woods on the east side, including some undesirable branches and rotten leaves. This should not be normal... Also, Beizhi noticed that the buildings in the village were also..."

Listening to Zhang Taiping being cautious, afraid of making a taboo, Xu Changqing couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Sometimes, it’s impossible not to admire it. There is really a gap between people.

As the famous saying goes: "The spring river is warm and the duck is prophet."

Even Xu Changqing could not compare with Zhang Taiping's insight into things, his perception of environmental changes, and his unique and inherent sense of keenness.

Seeing that Xu Changqing didn't say anything, Zhang Taiping also closed his mouth tactfully, lowered his head with great respect, and only dared to look at Xu Changqing's upper.

After a while, Xu Changqing recovered a little and smiled and said, "You guy is really a bit thief. Tell me, what plan are you discussing?"

Seeing that Xu Changqing was relieved and was not like making false statements, Zhang Taiping also felt a little relieved and was busy explaining his ideas to Xu Changqing.

Last night, he set up a trap against the trap and caught a white flag-inlaid Niu Lu Zhang Jing, which was a great encouragement to Zhang Taiping himself, including their entire Qianjun. In the morning, Wang Hongyang specially called him to ask for some inspiration from him, so Zhang Taiping carefully explained the process of setting the trap.

Wang Hongyang and the others quickly found inspiration, wanting to expand this routine, continue to advance overnight, use the firepower advantages of the model army to set traps on a large scale, and more effectively kill the Qing army's vitality.

But it’s okay to do this on a small scale. If it’s done on a large scale, it will definitely cost a huge price. So Wang Hongyang and the others did not dare to come directly to Xu Changqing, so they pushed the popular Zhang Taiping over.

Seeing Zhang Taiping's fearful look after he finished speaking, Xu Changqing couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. These bastards were becoming more and more clever.

Although Zhang Taiping, a kid, has a talent far beyond ordinary people in some aspects, he is too young and has a long lack of understanding of war, and does not realize the risks involved. However, this kid is very good and very righteous, and is a talent worth cultivating.

"Taiping, don't be nervous. Your idea is good, at least the starting point is good. But have you ever thought that you have more than a dozen people, a single armoured manpower, can use the Tartars' trap to set traps? But once the scale is expanded, the Tartars are not stupid roe deer. Can they be fooled by you so easily? At that time, how much bait should be needed to make the Tartars fall for this trap?"

Xu Changqing's thoughts on helping Zhang Taiping are tempted.

There is no idea now. Instead of being irritated, it is better to give this promising kid a good idea.

"this……"

Zhang Taiping had already realized something, his face turned red, but he couldn't express it.

Xu Changqing smiled, and was not anxious: "Don't panic, think slowly. Don't just stand in the position of your small flag and look further. Just think that you are the general, the general, and even the general of guerrillas."

As he said that, Xu Changqing threw him a cigar and lit one himself.

Zhang Taiping lit the cigar tremblingly, took several sips, gradually calmed down, and focused on thinking. Xu Changqing looked at his young and hopeful face, and his expression gradually became softer and full of hope.

These young people all hope that.

This kind of behavior is definitely not recommended, but it also reminded Xu Changqing that we should still increase the upward channels for the soldiers at the bottom.

In particular, we must increase our efforts to explore talents among grassroots soldiers!

Like Zhang Taiping, he already belonged to the "second generation" model army. After his uncle retired, he joined in instead of his uncle.

Although Xu Changqing saw Zhang Taiping for the first time, when the military achievements were reported last night, Xu Changqing had already obtained all the information about Zhang Taiping.

Compared with ordinary model soldiers, with his uncle's connections, Zhang Taiping mentioned the small flag officer after half a year of joining the army. He was already a rocket leader, but for Xu Changqing, this was not enough!

Through communication with Zhang Taiping, including his usual feelings at the grassroots level of the army, Xu Changqing has realized that these "second-generation" model soldiers are more loving and purer than the "first generation" of model soldiers, who are more passionate about themselves, model army, and Haicheng!

These young people are like balls of flames!

In other words, they are the "hawks" in the model army that are already "hawks"!

Now, they are still a bit thin and immature, but in time, they will surely become the core skeleton of the Model Army and lay a stronger future for the Model Army!

They must be pushed to a more combative position as soon as possible, even if they can’t reach the general, they must reach the level of the general flag!

A total flag, with a size of fifty or sixty or seventy, can do a lot of things compared to a dozen people.

After smoking a cigar for most of the time. Seeing that Zhang Taiping had already understood it, Xu Changqing let out a long sip of smoke and said, "Taiping, you are right. Our model army has really not had much firewood until now. In our current state, we can only last for three or five days. Do you have any ideas?"

Zhang Taiping is very conscious. Since he has decided to mention him, Xu Changqing no longer retains it and has spoken out the most core issue at this time.

With Zhang Taiping's understanding, even if Xu Changqing no longer mentioned him, he might have rotted this secret in his stomach.

This is not only Xu Changqing’s confidence in Zhang Taiping, but also his confidence in himself!

"this……"

Zhang Taiping's expression suddenly changed.

If he could still remain calm just now, suppress the excitement deep in his heart, and listen carefully to Xu Changqing's guidance, Xu Changqing told this terrifying question, and Zhang Taiping was no longer able to sit still because he was a young man.

At this time, the Model Army was not only Xu Changqing's private property, but also the hope of him, Zhang Taiping and his brothers, and the hope of their family, parents, brothers, sisters, including Haicheng and countless compatriots from Shandong Zuohui.

The Qing army broke the model army's firewood at this time, and there was no difference between putting a knife on their necks!

How can I bear this?

Looking at the excited Zhang Taiping, Xu Changqing also breathed a little relieved. With Zhang Taiping as a benchmark, the morale of the Model Army will definitely be stable.

If there is no idea tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, then Xu Changqing can only throw away some things he wants to abandon and prepare to fight the Qing Dynasty.

At this time, Zhang Taiping suddenly said: "Master, if you want to solve the firewood problem, maybe it doesn't need to be too troublesome!"

"Um?"

Xu Changqing frowned slightly and looked at Zhang Taiping's eyes.

Zhang Taiping became more and more calm at this time, his eyes were filled with ferociousness, and the blue veins on his neck were bloated: "Master, now I can guess some of the current situation. The Qing army only surrounded us north and west, but instead emptyed Jiuxian Mountain in the east and Qufu in the south, and wanted to use the firewood and Qufu city on Jiuxian Mountain as bait to kill the vitality of our model army! Although the Grand Army had only been in the army for less than a year, when he was at home, his uncle had been telling me some battlefield experiences and forced him to read military strategy. I personally think that the reason why the Qing army was like this was because we were afraid that our model army and our model army could not fall into their plan like this!"

Zhang Taiping was a little nervous at first, but as he spoke, the nervousness dissipated and the ferocious aura could not be stopped.

"Speak!"

Xu Changqing frowned slightly, but she felt relieved in an instant.

"yes!"

Zhang Taiping became more and more confident, "Master, understand the principles of Huzhi, but I don't know what to say for a while. Anyway, we can't let the Tartars do what they want. Moreover, our model army is not without charcoal fire at this time, but it is very likely that there will be a lot of charcoal fire! When I was patrolling the camp in the sky, I happened to meet an acquaintance who was under the Red General and had seen a coal mine near Xintai. At that time, we were just joking. He said that there is a coal mine under the depression, and even if it is not too big, it may be enough to make money. He also asked Beizhi to join us and buy the land after the war. The man had a very accurate vision. Maleman, we can send someone to see it now! It would be fine if there is no coal mine. If there is, our urgent need can be solved. Anyway, we must not act according to the plan of the Tartars!"

After saying that, Zhang Taiping looked at Xu Changqing firmly.

But he found that Xu Changqing was stunned and was a little stupid, and had no reaction at all.

Xu Changqing really wanted to slap himself in a big mouth at this time. He always wanted to resist himself when he had something, but he ignored the creativity of the people!

Especially that kind of observation!

Later generations Xu Changqing came here, and many local friends were still joking, saying, "You have been hollowed out now." However, at that time, the world changed. This resource industry was a giant, and the environment was not very good. Xu Changqing didn't care much. Thinking about it now, he was simply... standing on a mountain of gold, he didn't know...

"Master, DaShi, are you okay?"

When Zhang Taiping's voice came into his ears, Xu Changqing came back to his senses. He suddenly felt refreshed and couldn't help but pat Zhang Taiping on the shoulder: "Taiping, you guys have made great contributions! Let's go now and take that acquaintance with you. Let's go and see that sink now!"

"Hey, yes!"

...

"Haha, there's charcoal produced, there's still a lot of it!"

"Master, look, although this is not a good coke, it is of good quality, and it is even better than what ordinary people in Haicheng are burning on weekdays. Even if the scale of this coal mine is not large, it is absolutely small..."

In the evening, a huge cheer suddenly came from the depression in the northwest of Quantou Village, which was as if it had won a battle.

Even Xu Changqing couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, almost whistling to the sky.

Who would have thought that it was a desperate situation, but it was "standing on a mountain of gold without knowing it..."

At this time, after the guidance of Liu Mao, the deputy general bannerman under Zhang Taiping, the acquaintance of Zhang Taiping, the deputy general bannerman under Hong Niangzi, nearly 100-year-old man dug for only more than half an afternoon, and only dug up just over twenty meters, and then dug up dark coal, which was comparable to gold.

And the quality is pretty good.

The clouds of the charcoal crisis were almost eliminated in an instant.
Chapter completed!
