Chen Dayong said with some urgency: "The five cities, especially the three cities north of Meituo Lake, are under great defensive pressure!"

"As our troops move north, the defense pressure on the 15th Castle in Fuzhou City is not great. Four posts are transferred from the 17th Defense Bureau, for a total of 68 posts. These 68 posts, in total,

The total strength of the troops is 3,400 men and horses. Based on these 3,400 men and horses, I will recruit another 3,000 men and horses as the basic guard force."

Cheng Shijie estimated that he had recruited 3,000 troops, and estimated that the number of people joining the army might exceed 6,000, or even 8,000. In this era, as long as there are people with money, it is really easy to train the army. A soldier who has not received training will start from the beginning.

From receiving training to completing all training subjects, it takes two to three months.

Ning Haijun's field troops are all drawn from the garrison. This is also to give the garrison a space to rise and perform meritorious service. First, 3,400 people are drawn from 17 second-line garrison areas, and then new recruits are added to the garrison bureau.

, more than 3,000 troops were transferred from the Defense Bureau for the second time. In this way, the 17th Defense Bureau will complete the major replacement of nearly half of the personnel.

In this way, when new recruits join the army, they first enter the garrison department and perform basic garrison tasks. Of course, while performing garrison tasks, they also need to strengthen training.

Troop training is a never-ending process.

Cheng Shijie said: "Although Jiannu promised not to attack this place, we don't have much time. There are still more than two months before the ice is frozen. It will take at least half a month from us to reach the Shuangcheng Guard territory, which is also not enough.

That is to say, you will have less time, only about fifty days. You have to build five cities in more than fifty days. The time is very tight, the pressure is high, and the task is heavy. Do you have the confidence to complete the task? "

"It's just a city-building task. It depends on how many men the commander gives to the general!"

"Three hundred project 100-household stations, each city has 60 100-household stations, at least 30,000 people!"

"If you have sufficient supplies, you will have the confidence to complete the mission!"

"That's good!"

Cheng Shijie continued: "If you want to survive in Liaodong, it is completely different from outside the customs. You need to reserve a lot of food and coal. Every newly built house needs to build a fire pit, a room for a fire pit, and a fire wall.

The food reserve needs to be at least five liters per person per day. The ice-free period of Meituo Lake is about 120 days. We need to reserve enough food for everyone in the cities of Shuangcheng Guard for at least 150 days.

, need to reserve coal for half a year. We must not repeat the mistakes of Daling River City."

"Yes, I promise to complete the task!"

Cheng Shijie's order was made in quadruplicate, each signed with Cheng Shijie's name and sealed, and began to be sent directly to the commander of the Ning Navy Military Garrison Division, the Management Committee and the Ning Navy Navy.

After receiving Cheng Shijie's order, various garrison departments immediately began to mobilize their elites, and 3,400 men and horses began to board ships at Haizhou Port. The management committee began to prepare and distribute the hundreds of engineering offices that were ready to be distributed by ship.

Towards Meituo Lake.

After this major change occurred, Song Xiance also came to the Ning Haijun Camp on the bank of the Taizi River. He saw Cheng Shijie and asked with some concern: "My lord, there are only more than 3,400 troops going to the Shuangcheng Guards, is it...

…”

"Is it something?"

“A little adventurous!”

Song Xiance smiled bitterly and said: "After all, that is the hinterland of Jiannu. I'm afraid that Jiannu will break his word and betray his promise!"

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "I have never believed in Huang Taiji. I will not believe a word of his words. There are only more than fifty days before the Meituo Lake freezes. Do you think Huang Taiji will believe that I will now

Just send troops there?"

"probably not!"

Song Xiance said: "Then if Chen Dayong arrives with his troops, won't Jian Nu find out immediately?"

"It's easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it's hard to go from luxury to frugality!"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly and said: "After the Jiannu slaves rebelled, a large number of Jianzhou slaves left the left and right guards of Jianzhou, including Shuangchengwei where they had lived for generations. The winter there was very difficult. Huang Taiji probably wouldn't have noticed. Even if

They found that it would not be easy to mobilize the army again!"

The source of Cheng Shijie's confidence was that Huang Taiji needed food. Even if he turned against him immediately, he would wait until the food was obtained before taking action.

But what Cheng Shijie and Huang Taiji were actually playing was a conspiracy, and food was the bait.

For the sake of food, Jiannu will definitely not move lightly. Even if Jiannu wants to send troops, the focus will be on the southern Liaoning area, not the Shuangcheng Guard.

The Twins will have a buffer of up to a year or more.

When Jiannu frees his hand, the five cities of Meituo Lake will be fully constructed. With Jiannu's ability, it is almost impossible to attack the five cities of Meituo Lake. Even decades later, it will be difficult for them.

Break through the well-defended city with powerful firepower.

Cheng Shijie's troops sent to the Shuangcheng Guards in advance have been strengthened with 136 Thunder Guns. In other words, Chen Dayong's troops of more than 3,400 people have the ability to fire 4,080 lead bullets at one time.

Ability.

Cheng Shijie also had a serious phobia of insufficient firepower. In addition to one hundred and thirty-six thunder cannons, he also strengthened thirty flying thunder cannons.

On the basis of Ning Haijun's trip mines, the small Thunder Mine was developed, which can also be said to be the hand grenade of later generations. This tactical defensive grenade whose shell is made of pig iron has a total weight of 550 grams, of which

The charge is 300 grams of granular black powder, which is equivalent to 60 grams of TNT.

Why did Ning Haijun manage to make the grenade not too heavy but have a larger explosive charge? This is actually just a simple trick.

Hand grenades manufactured in later generations have complex safety devices, but Ning Haijun's grenade does not have it. It is not even a finished product, just a cast iron shell, a wooden handle, and prepackaged granular black powder.

When arriving at the battlefield, the soldiers assemble it themselves, and then during the battle, they can light the fuse to detonate it directly. The trip mine equipment is too heavy. Although it is made as small as possible, it weighs about 160 grams.

With the addition of this pull-string fuze device, the total weight of the entire grenade will be as high as 710 grams, almost one and a half kilograms. Even a pretender with amazing arm strength will have a hard time throwing it fifty meters away.

Under such circumstances, Jiannu still wanted to attack the five cities of Meituo Lake, but he had no choice but to sacrifice his life. Unless tens of thousands of people died, Jiannu could not even think of attacking the five cities of Meituo Lake.

Just when Cheng Shijie and Song Xiance were discussing the five cities of Meituo Lake, Hu Erqi's troops of Ning Haijun, who had already inspected the foot of Qianshan Mountain, discovered a Jiannu cavalry in front.

I don’t know which department this place belongs to, but as long as you are a Jiannu, you’re welcome.

Hu Erqi said excitedly: "We deserve it for our great achievements. Su Wan is the one who rushes forward!"

Although Hu Erqi speaks Chinese very fluently, it would be difficult to hear Hu Erqi's accent without considering his appearance.

Su Wannayan was born in the Guarjia family, which is one of the eight Jurchen surnames and the first family in the founding of the country. Its prestige and real power are slightly inferior to the Aixinjueluo family. Su Wanguarjia has: the first family in the founding of the country.

Meritorious ministers, third-class Xinyong Gongfei Yingdong's son-in-law, sixteenth-class minister Yang Shan, sixteenth-class minister Yisun, minister and minister Lang Ge, sixteenth-class minister Wei Qi, minister Gu Ming and assistant minister, first-class Gong Aobai, university

Shi Cheke, bachelor of the Academy of Chinese History, Bashike Ganglin, Shi Guozhu, minister of the Ministry of Industry, Shi Tianzhu, the minister of punishment, Shi Tingzhu, minister of the Ministry of War, Huashan, minister of the interior, minister of the imperial examination, Shi Wenbing, the third-class uncle, Xifu, director of the Ministry of Industry, minister,

The third-ranking uncle was Santai, the governor of Liangjiang was Magile, and the general of Xi'an was Zaobao.

In terms of blood relationship, Su Wannayan is relatively related to the famous name Fei Yingdong. His father is Huerhaqibayan, the third son of Solguo, the leader of Su Wan tribe, and Fei Yingdong is his uncle.

Ao Bai was his cousin. Because Su Wannayan's mother was from the Ming Dynasty, with the successive victories of the Jiannu against the Ming Dynasty, Su Wannayan was not only ignored in the family, but was ostracized by everyone.

In particular, Su Wannayan did not have the opportunity to marry a widowed slave slave until she was thirty-five years old. After the marriage, the couple did not get along well.

It is strange that a small horse and a big cart can live in harmony.

In the fifth year of Tianqi, during the Battle of Liuhe, he went with the army. Although he did not have the merit of beheading, he snatched two horses and sent the two good horses to his superiors, thus becoming a red-armored soldier.

However, when he returned home, he found that his wife and his cousin Tulai were at home...

This is actually very common among Jiannu, but because of the education he received since childhood, he can't stand it. However, the problem is that Tu Lai's father is Fei Yingdong, and his own father is Hu'er Haqiba

Yan...

Although both of them have become ghosts, the disparity in status is too great. He punched Tu Lai, but was surrounded by a group of Tu Lai's minions... He was beaten to death and was accused of being a stingy man.

Until more than half a year ago, Su Wannayan followed Azig to attack southern Liaoning. Azige was defeated. Su Wannayan, who had suffered from cowardice and unfair treatment all his life, took the opportunity to desert.

Later, Su Wannayan hid in Zhulong Mountain.

In February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Hu Erqi made great achievements in the victory of Haizhou. He led his troops to pursue Duduo's troops and found Su Wannayan who was almost freezing to death in Zhulong Mountain. Hu Erqi originally wanted to kill Su Wannayan.

His head was regarded as a military achievement, but Su Wan Dayan hugged Hu Erqi's thigh and cried...

Su Wan Nayan, who originally lived a life of hiding from himself, finally managed to catch some prey. However, he encountered Jian Nu's defeated troops, who not only robbed Su Wan Nayan of his dried meat, but also took away his only horse.

horse.

Su Wannayan was proficient in hunting methods, and he led Hu Erqi to catch up with the dozens of defeated soldiers... Just like that, with Hu Erqi's guarantee, Su Wannayan became a member of Hu Erqi's unit in the Ning Navy.

The hunting and cavalry battalion under Hu Erqi is a unique organization of Ning Haijun. All the men and horses are Jurchens. There are twelve people in a team, with a captain. Four teams are one post, with a post commander. Three posts are a commander.

Let there be a hundred generals. Two divisions will be one bureau, and the general manager will be set. Two bureaus will be one general, and a thousand generals will be set.

Now Su Wannayan is one of the four Qianzong under Hu Erqi. In a short period of time, Su Wannayan is proficient in hunting, setting traps, and skillful with bow and horse. Su Wannayan quickly becomes one of the four Qianzong under Hu Erqi.

When Hu Erqi sent out troops, there were only more than 800 people, but the more troops he attacked, the more troops he attacked, and the original two unsatisfactory bureaus were expanded to four.

Regardless of the reason why these Jurchens took refuge with Hu Erqi, it was actually because of dissatisfaction.

Especially those Haixi Jurchens who were captured by Jianzhou Jurchens. Their status and treatment were poor. Although they were better than those of the Han army, they were still dissatisfied.

One thing about becoming a Ning navy is better than being a slave army, that is, you can have enough to eat.

After a period of killing, the Jiannu cavalry found that they had been surrounded. If they wanted to run again, there was no chance. There were more than two thousand Ning Navy hunting cavalry, and these more than a hundred Jiannu consciously raised their

hands.

"Surrender, Touchen Niang, now that you have surrendered, what have you been doing?"

Hu Erqi pointed at Su Wannayan and said: "Let them trust their bows, arrows and weapons, and all dismount!"

The more than 100 Buddhist slaves did not dare to resist, so they took the initiative to put down their weapons and bows and arrows, and jumped off their horses.

Hu Erqi took a tin trumpet that he snatched from his subordinates and shouted: "Take off your pants!"

The surrounded Jiannu cavalry looked at each other with some hesitation.
