Chapter 359 I've seen two captain documents

Shi Chuan glared at Shi Yanei fiercely, blaming him for not bringing any pots. The rumor that was released was discussed by Shi Chuan and Shi Yanei and the others, specifically to deal with Luo Wangjing. Finally, when the Jinxiu Guild Hall questioned the news of the fleet, Shi Yanei was also present. Now he pretended to be stupid in front of Chu Suzhen. Is there anyone who acted like this?

Shi Chuan picked up a chopstick casually, and did not chat with Shi Yanei. He used the chopsticks to dip some wine, and drew a panoramic view of Cuizhuang on the table. Although the layout of this village is close to Bagua, it is not a complete circle, and it is close to the shape of almonds. The tip of the almond is Shi Chuan's main castle in the Rose Garden. In order to distinguish it from the Rose Garden, Shi Chuan finally borrowed the name of Rose River and named the main castle "White Rose Castle".

Behind the White Rose Castle is the school that Shitong. The strange-shaped triangles built by this school seem to be adapted to local conditions and have been built like this. But in fact, it is an annex to the White Rose Castle. Combined with the triangle workshop in front of the White Rose Castle, it happens to be a complete octagonal castle.

Since there is an integrated castle building, the White Rose Fort itself is an independent defense group. The rose planting base and the twenty-three attached gardens behind it are more like the strategic material storage base of the castle, as well as the military storage base, strategic evacuation site, etc. The open space in front of the school is said to be the school’s carriage parking spot, but it is actually a shooting area specially cleaned by Shizeng…

However, there is no need to explain these to the two girls. Moreover, there is no need to guard the "back garden" of White Rose Castle. The empty flower fields there are actually to prevent people from approaching White Rose Castle.

Speaking of which, Cuizhuang's defense layout is not perfect. In front of it is the cannon nemesis of the Firearm Age - the lever. In the back is a group of houses that support each other. No matter which direction the attack is from, these two groups of defense support each other will cause a headache for attackers. However, there is a fatal disadvantage in these two groups. They are usually used as houses as cover-ups. The owners of the houses are particularly comfortable, so their houses are very empty and quiet, which means that in case of something, neither of these two groups do not have enough guardians.

"Don't worry about the guarding of the Rose Garden. I just said that the ancestral halls of various families can be used as refuges. My Rose Garden will also be a refuge in the future. Three hundred acres of land, so many idle viewing rooms in the yard, as well as various sanitary facilities, wells and water drainage canals, which can ensure that we will still have no worries about food and clothing even if we encounter a long-term siege - do you understand what I mean?"

Shi Yanei thought for a while and replied: "What do you mean is that if there is something wrong, in addition to the outermost defensive walls and defensive houses, can you also accept a large number of troops into the Rose Garden?"

Shizeng slapped the table, expressed his agreement, and then bypassed the topic: "Miss Cui, go and call the heads of the other four surnames---You might as well discuss it first, and wait for me to come back from Shuyang before holding a meeting to vote on the rectification of Cuizhuang."

As he was speaking, the regiment head rushed to report: "Teacher, the weapons in the village have been distributed, and a total of more than 4,100 machetes, about 3,000 spear heads, 1,000 bows, and 500 crossbow arrows... The owner of the manor, the people scattered outside the village, asked for the temporary help of the manor training headquarters. What should be done? Please tell me."

Cui Xiaoqing looked at Shi Chuan and waited for Shi Chuan's order. Shi Chuan quickly asked, "Is there enough food?"

Zhuang Ding, who reported the news, replied hesitantly: "It is the spring plowing season now. Who has the food left? Every household has not much food left?"

Cui Xiaoqing quickly replied: "I still store about one hundred stones in the warehouse, and there are countless bacon, bacon, and bacon..."

Speaking of this, Cui Xiaoqing smiled: "I want to thank Shi Yanei for these meats. I am just a woman's family and I can't even eat them, so I have to leave them in the warehouse..."

"My warehouse always has 300 stones of grain," Shi Chuan gritted his teeth and ordered: "I ordered all people outside the village to move to the headquarters of the Tuanzhuang Training Center. If I really can't live in the empty room in the Rose Garden, I asked them to bring their belongings before leaving, and all the food at home were moved away, and all the chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock were slaughtered. Tell everyone that I have lived here in the past few days and I have all the food in it. Afterwards, each person will compensate for the money for buying chickens, ducks, geese and other monthly subsidies."

What is fighting for in war - human resources and economic resources.

Shi Chuan's ultimate goal was not the heroes of Liangshan, but the Jurchens who were about to surging. In normal history, Haizhou was the focus of the competition between the Song and Jin sides. It fell into the hands of the Jin people three times and returned to the Southern Song three times, but it was finally fell into the hands of the Jin people. Because of the repeated tug-of-war, all the cultural classics of Haizhou were burned out, and even the activities of the heroes of Water Margin in Haizhou became blurred. Only one hundred words in the County Chronicles were recorded.

Faced with this surging tide, Shi Chuan was willing to have more human resources even if he suffered some financial losses.

Shi Chuan still remembers watching a film about a medieval Western war. In that film, the king and lord issued an order to clear the world, and the people began to retreat collectively, so that no one could be found in hundreds of miles. Shi Chuan at that time sighed, why did no foreigner say that "the hometown is hard to leave"?

Slowly, Shi Chuan realized that the reason why foreigners do not have people who are "unable to leave their hometown" is that in countries with "non-special national conditions", the government will bear the liability for compensation for the property losses caused by the war. Including the Soviet Union's great retreat due to the German invasion during World War II, the Soviet Union also compensated the people after the war. The so-called "war reparations" are used to do this.

Since someone compensates for his property losses, only a fool can "unable to leave his hometown"

After all, the "homeland is hard to leave" under the gun is to test life, and life is only once.

The Song Dynasty was a dynasty that was extremely tolerant of the people. When encountering rain and snow, the government had to pay subsidies to the people - but there was no compensation for war disasters. And it was the same nine hundred years later. After World War II, the Celestial Empire refused Japan's war compensation, and the whole world was surprised by this - in this way, who will compensate the people's war losses? In this way, can the invaders enjoy their own war plunder?

...

Now, Shi Chuan must win people's hearts. If the government does not compensate him, he will make the Cuizhuang people proud of being Cuizhuang people. Then, after experiencing it once, what does Shi Chuan want to do next time Shi Chuan must not hesitate.

Cui Xiaoqing was frightened by the big hand she wore. She opened her mouth and thought: "One person has five stakes a month, and there are about 4,000 craftsmen and more than 10,000 people in our village, and they have to spend every month..."

"More than just", Shi Chuan replied: "Now there are more than 300 workshops in the village, and about ten large and small large workshops, namely my joint workshop with you, Duan's blacksmith's workshop, four surnames joint workshop, Tuanlian workshop, rose garden workshop, winery, etc. Most of the others are workshops run by Tuanlian. Some are built separately and several joint workshops are jointly organized. We have hired about 6,000 people in total. With their families, the population of Cuizhuang always exceeds 20,000."

"It's 100,000 yuan a month," Chu Suzhen interrupted, and immediately, she asked worriedly: "Changqing, are you enough money?...I live in Cuizhuang too, why don't I add a little to you?"

Cui Xiaoqing could no longer speak at this time. Shi Yanei was stunned for a long time and clapped his hands and said, "If it is only 100,000 yuan, it will be too cheap to buy 20,000 people's hearts. Dalang, you can do this. From now on, if you raise your arms and shout, the folk song will die for it, why worry about not staying in Haizhou?"

After a little leaning, Yanei said tentatively: "If the war is delayed for two months, it will be troublesome."

"So we should move quickly," Shi Tong stood up and urged: "Yanei, you should leave now, I will issue a martial law order immediately."

Shi Yanei looked at Chu Suzhen, and saw Chu Suzhen lowering her eyes to avoid his eyes. Shi Yanei stood up in dismay and bowed: "Then I will say goodbye, I will wait for you in Donghai County."

"Take all the ships on the dock," Shi Chuan said strangely: "The ships that are already full of cargo will set sail and go south immediately, and the ships that are not full of cargo will be parked at the Donghai County wharf."

Shi Yanei was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it necessary?"

"Absolutely necessary--just"

"Okay... Anyway, the bandits are coming, so it is an excuse to ask them to go out to sea to avoid disaster." Shi Yanei agreed casually and said goodbye.

That night, Cuizhuang was in chaos. Before the refugees arrived, the residents of Cuizhuang had already begun to gather in the village. The wooden walls stored in the major ancestral halls were taken out and placed at the intersection as roadblocks. This kind of wooden wall was a regular item for wealthy families in ancient China. It was cut with half a piece of log, then nailed together side by side, coated with fireproof materials, and became a thick wall of more than one person. Usually these things were disassembled and piled up in the ancestral hall for later use. When encountering war or attacks by bandits, they were taken out to connect them to a wooden wall, and then the young and strong hid behind the wall to defend.

Cuizhuang originally had six major ancestral halls, and now there are four, and the wooden walls of several are connected by themselves. Cuizhuang not only has a closed door to the outside, but also has only a small gap left to walk sideways...

At dawn, Cuizhuang completed the defensive arrangements. All the men in the village picked up weapons, and the women arranged them at the Gang Training Headquarters, several ancestral halls, and rose gardens. At this time, those who entered and left Cuizhuang had to undergo strict inspections. Only old merchants who were used to interacting were allowed to enter and exit, and strangers and new merchants guided them to Haizhou City to contact each other.

After a little bit of attention, the police also arrived at various villages that were jointly defended by Cuizhuang. Some villages had little organizations that could not resist, so they simply took their families to Cuizhuang. In the morning, they happened to arrive and gathered outside the village to find the relatives in the village. Afterwards, most people were able to enter Cuizhuang. Those who had no relatives with Cuizhuang, at least those who were willing to accept friends in the village who were willing to accept them eventually entered the village.

The smoke from Cuizhuang was rising as usual, and the major workshops were also starting work as usual. However, a little nervousness was filled with a tense and orderly atmosphere. After breakfast, Cuizhuang welcomed another group of guests, a wealthy family in the nearby village. They heard that Qu Magistrate Qu would not go to the county government today and was in charge of Cuizhuang to command, so he immediately made an excuse to bring his family to Cuizhuang to "visit friends".

Immediately afterwards, people from larger villages also came, mostly the village coaches accompanied the villagers to buy corresponding weapons and armor from Cuizhuang. At this time, Shi Chuan was ready to leave, and in order to receive them, they had to stay for a while. When the foreign village coach who purchased weapons was led to the Duan blacksmith shop and then rushed back to his yard, County Magistrate Qu finally could not avoid it and came to see him off.

The old magistrate Qu always felt that sometimes he was wearing it and not wearing it. Cuizhuang was different in style. He held Shihua's hand and reluctantly said: "Changqing, just now, the news came that Haizhou City has closed the city gate. The group of Liangshan horse bandits rode on horses. It took only two days to get here from Shuyang County. Our place is not safe.

However, I also know that Shuyang County has a very strong relationship with you, and it is unreasonable to not let you rescue you... Well, you go and go quickly, and our Haizhou County still counts on you."

At this time, the Meng County Magistrate had nominally taken over the command of the Cuizhuang regiment training. The nearby small villages had begun to gather in Cuizhuang. Most of the outer villages had poor weapons, and most of them were holding water and fire sticks. Unlike Cuizhuang, they were basically armed with swords, guns and leather armor. The Meng County Magistrate could command the outer villages regiment training.

Holding such a miscellaneous army in his hand, he was facing the famous Liangshan gangsters. County Magistrate Meng was really unsure. He also followed Qu Magistrate Qu to remind him: "Chenxin Lang, Shuyang County is already like this. I suggest that you send your marriage and invite Liu Taigong to enter the county town to get married to strengthen the strength of the county town... If Shuyang County is worry-free, you should come back quickly, after all, you are the coach of our Haizhou County."

Shi Chuan casually and led No. 220 people out of the village.

Although this team had 220 people, they rode in thirty carriages. Most of the soldiers in the team were very young. In recent years, according to the US military standards, they ate a pound of meat every day, which was obviously one head taller than their peers. The long-term exercise made them well-proportioned, burly, flexible and energetic. They were in groups of ten people, wearing leather armor and leather helmets, sitting in the carriage, and the spare parts of the carriage were filled with weapons and gunpowder.

The soldiers were riding in a two-wheeled carriage that had been transformed. The road was Huang Xiang, the magistrate of Shuyang County. Last year, he used 20,000 wing soldiers to repair it to specifically communicate the "straight road" between Haizhou and Shuyang. Since it was called a "straight road", the road surface was hardened. Most of the road surface was covered with gravel or bluestone slabs, and the cracks were filled with new mortar (cement). Two horse-drawn carts walked on such road surfaces and moved very quickly. In the evening, the vehicle had already arrived and passed through the farthest village under his jurisdiction. That night, Shicheng arranged a police whistle and stayed in the village. In the middle of the night, the tide of refugees finally came. These people panicked and told the cruelty of the Liangshan gangsters. Of course, most of them heard about it.

The next day, the team re-started, and the team trainers looked both tired and nervous. They were tired because they had not had a good sleep all night, and they were nervous because they had heard too many thrilling rumors.

Shi Chuan asked about Eleventh Lady's condition and guided Eleventh Lady to board a carriage specially equipped with iron plates. A Boss next to him reached out to support him, and then asked Shi Chuan tentatively: "Encyclopedia, I heard that Liang Shanko likes to use people's hearts to make sober soup. How can this person... eat people? How can he eat?"

Eleventh Lady's face turned pale. Shi Chuan gently sent Eleventh Lady onto the carriage, put down the curtain for the other party, thought about it, and decided not to avoid it: "It's because of this, and they like to show off this matter, calling it "brutal aesthetics."

After saying that, Shi Chuan pointed at the direction he came and added: "It is our home, our relatives and friends, and our loved ones, so we must keep them out of Cuizhuang and keep the people we cherish from nightmares, do you know?"

Eleventh Lady in the carriage suddenly lifted the curtain and said solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will never let someone kidnap again. I will give me two hand guns, one of which I plan to leave for myself. If something is urgent, I won't care about me."

The Yier who was asking just now raised her chest and said loudly: "Don't worry, Sister Eleven, I will never let you suffer."

The rest of Yier also worked together to build Chengpiao astronomy. After the previous magistrate Shen Kuo built water conservancy facilities, the county's land was fertile and the grain output was very high. In addition, the introduction of rice from Chameng in recent years, even though the whole world has had a severe drought in recent years, the local people do not have to worry about having enough food.

The population density of Shuyang County is not high, which is about 120,000 people. Among them, nearly half of the population lives in the county town, and Houqiu Town, the largest town in the county, lives in part. Therefore, the villages scattered in the countryside seem to be small in scale.

I often ride on the horse, and look ahead from time to time - all the flat and broad fields are all flat. The snow on the fields has just melted. In the black land, there are scattered white snow dotted among them, and the white jade-black gaps are filled with a faint green.

This land is the end of the Qilu Plain. The terrain is flat and you can see the end of the sky at a glance. The official road is also very flat. Thirty carriages walk very lightly, and the wheels make rippling sounds, like a country music.

A group of partridges were awakened by the sound of the wheels of the carriage, and cooed and flew up from the treetops beside the official road. The children in Yi'er Camp were attracted by the partridges and looked up at the direction of the partridges flying. Because they were in a marching state, everyone did not make noise, but just pointed at the flying birds and poked their companions around them to remind them to pay attention to their appreciation.

After a moment of pause, more than a dozen figures appeared at the end of the horizon. These people were walking and walking, and seemed very leisurely - at this time, there were no refugees on the road, or they fled to other places; or they didn't have time to escape; or they felt that there was no need to escape.

More than ten people from the opposite side were riding horses. In the sun, they flashed with one stroke. Shi Chuan narrowed his eyes and looked at it immediately: "Stop the entire army holding guns, fill in gunpowder, cannons, and prepare for battle."

The hundred men had good discipline. At a time, they ordered ten people to be a team. The non-commissioned officers began to distribute weapons on the carriage. The soldiers began to tie their armed belts and hung gunpowder boxes, grenades, and swords on the armed belts. The sixty older musketeers seemed even more calm after the bandit suppression battle... After a while, the regiment trainers were finished, and at this time, the team of the spearmen was still a little messy.

The spearmen brought out by Shi Chuan are all natives from Cuizhuang. Most of their families work in workshops or farm in Shijiayuan fields. These people have no problem with loyalty. Unfortunately, because Shi Chuan is not good at brazenly, they train their formations and team battles according to the training method, so the spearmen seem a little panicked when they encounter the enemy - after all, there are the famous Liangshan gangsters opposite each other.

The people coming from the opposite side also discovered the team from afar. Although there was no red-silk gong and drum team in front of the team, there were big double-happy words on the carriage in the center of the team, and the carriages accompanying them were also double-happy on the boxes, indicating that this might be a newlywed team. They did not avoid it, and rushed through the team as they faced each other. When they reached the range of the bow and arrow, several people also crossed the front and shot a demonstration arrow arrogantly, warning the team on this side to stop.

It was indeed a bold bandit, with more than a dozen people who dared to attack the team of more than 200 people.

The scenes of war in ancient times seem a bit ridiculous to modern people - more than ten people on horseback each other were riding horses, but only two of them were wearing small flags behind them. This small flag was called "recognizing military flags" in ancient times. In the era when there were no walkie-talkies and intercoms, soldiers relied on this small flag to determine their belongings and followed it to retreat.

The man who was shooting the archery just now had a big word embroidered on the small flag behind his back - "Zhang". This man looked handsome, about thirty years old, and looked very heroic. In addition, the man with a small flag on his back seemed cowardly. He followed the general Zhang and did not dare to cross over slightly - the flag behind him was embroidered with "Dong".

The generals surnamed Dong seemed very merciless, while the generals surnamed Zhang were full of military flavor, and their every move was clean and neat. Although there were only more than a dozen soldiers behind him, they arranged troops according to the strict rules of the Song Dynasty, as if thousands of troops were in hand.

At this time, the carriage in Shichuan's team had been unloaded, and the mules and horses were led behind the carriage and handed over to the thirty Yier and the spearmen to guard. The bodies of the car were piled up, and the seventy Yier aimed at the other party with muskets, while the sixty older musketeers drilled into the bottom of the carriage and aimed at the other party with muskets.

The group of people on the opposite side were actually at the range of the musket, but Shi Chuan didn't speak, and the rigorously trained team trainers did not have the awareness of firing.

A little leaned over, sixty spearmen ran and raised their spears to fill the gap between the car body. Shi Tong looked around and felt that his arrangement was fine. He jumped onto a horse, walked out of the barricade, and asked loudly: "Is Commander Zhang the other person coming from the opposite side, known as 'Zhang Qing without feather arrows'?"

The general surnamed Zhang was a little stunned and grabbed the reins of the horse. Shi Chuan did not wait for the other party to answer, and then turned to the general surnamed Dong next to him and asked, "This is Dong Ping, the chief constable of Yuncheng County, nicknamed "Yi Chu Zhi"?"

Zhang Qing whistled without feather arrows—Oh, Song Ren called "Whistle". He looked at Shi Chuan for a while and asked, "We knew each other before?"

Shituan grinned: "I was a general before and I have met two captain documents."
