Number of romantic figures

Chapter 982: Self-written scroll preparation (2)

"If Mr. Feng has time, he can indeed visit Huguang. Huguang has beautiful mountains and rivers, and it is a magnificent sight. He can read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles. It would be a pity if he didn't go to Huguang." You Shiren nodded in response.

"Yes, it's a pity that the current situation is difficult. How can I have this leisure when I am with you?" Feng Ziying sighed, "If we can successfully pass this time, we can talk about other things. .”

Hearing Feng Ziying's heavy words, You Shiren couldn't help but said: "My lord, although I have come to Qian'an not long ago, I have heard that the Mongols have harassed occasionally in the past 20 years, but only near the side wall, and they rarely went deep. This trip to the south is different from the previous ones. Is it possible to really attack the county? I heard that even Lulong, Luanzhou and Changli are preparing for war. So many people will gather in the city, and the cost will be huge. Is this a bit too exaggerated? There is also Ji Town's [-] troops stationed on this line, can we turn a blind eye?"

All the counties responded somewhat to the big fights on the government's side.

Taking Qian'an as an example, to build a bastion, it is necessary to protrude from the city wall and build a new one, which involves the re-excavation of the moat. The moats of Qian'an, Lulong and even Luanzhou are all drawn from the Luan River. It is not small, and to rebuild it means cutting off the moat brought in by the Luan River first, and then rebuilding and diverting the route. The amount of work is quite large, but under the insistence of the government, Qian'an can only obey.

There are also extremely cumbersome matters involved in driving all the people into the mountains or into the city. Almost all the county government has been mobilized, and everyone is exhausted, and there will inevitably be complaints.

So whether the Mongols will come or not, and how dangerous it is, this question may have been asked by countless people, and countless people are hiding in their hearts, questioning the scale and determination of the Mongols going south, as well as Ji Town's countermeasures.

This is also what bothers Zhu Zhiren and Feng Ziying the most.

No one can say exactly when the Mongols will go south, how large they will be, and how they will go south.

Maybe the scale is not as big as imagined, just go back after plundering around the side wall, or don't break through the gate from Yongping at all, but go to Shuntian Mansion and head towards the capital city, all kinds of things are true. There are possibilities, but do you dare to bet?

Feng Ziying didn't dare to gamble, and based on his judgment, there was a great possibility that the Mongols would break through from the north of Yongping Mansion, and the opportunity would go down along the Luan River, and Qian'an would bear the brunt of it, and Lu Long would not be able to escape. Fee's Law has told everyone that the worst situation will definitely happen, and the less you want it to happen, the more likely it will be the result.

Under such circumstances, he could not explain to everyone. Fortunately, he had Zhu Zhiren's support. Of course, there is no problem with directly ordering the lower states and counties to comply with the government's document, but once the judgment is wrong, it is easy to hurt. And the prestige of the magistrate and fellow magistrates.

But at this time Feng Ziying and Zhu Zhiren didn't care about that much anymore, as long as they can get through the current test, everything is easy to talk about.

But You Shiren is different. He is the county magistrate of Qian'an, the real parent official. To keep Qian'an, he still needs his full support. Feng Ziying has to explain patiently.

"Your Excellency, I understand your confusion and difficulties. So many people are forced to move into the city suddenly, and stay for a few months. No matter what it is, the consumption is huge, and it has brought huge costs to the county. Pressure, the country also used the strategy of strengthening the wall and clearing the wild to deal with the Mongols. This is also unprecedented, but I can tell you responsibly that the Mongols’ southward movement is larger than 20 years ago. The Twelve Divisions of Kahar have also gathered around the Chahar people, so Qian'an can't escape, Lulong can't escape, or we can abandon the entire Yongping Mansion and flee there, and even Hejian Mansion may not be safe , that is obviously impossible, or it is a desperate fight to win this battle!"

Feng Ziying's tone was firm and earnest, unquestionable, leaving You Shiren, who had some doubts at first, speechless.

"Since this is the case, I have nothing to say, my lord. If you have any arrangements, please tell me. As long as the people in Qian'an can do it, we will do our best."

"It's good that Mr. You has this heart. The only thing we have to do now is to make all the preparations. Once the Mongols come down south, they will be beaten to death in Qian'an. Among them, those who help defend the city The folks and the folks must be well arranged, and the logistical support must be in place one by one, there can be no negligence,..."

Feng Ziying looked to the northwest, "Leave everything else to us."

Outside the city wall, Zuo Liangyu was directing the Bashan Zuoying trained by him to carry out the drill in an orderly manner, marching, holding the gun, squatting, shooting, then moving forward, raising the gun to shoot again...

After several months of hard training, under the whips and sticks of the sentry officers, these soldiers have already practiced well, but they don't know what kind of performance they will have when facing the Mongols.

One of the soldiers equipped with a wheel-wheel gun is obviously more skilled and relaxed. When the other four are shooting three rounds, the step equipped with a wheel-wheel gun can already complete five rounds of shooting.

In addition to the fact that the spring wheel flintlock gun itself is more convenient, it is also because Huang Degong and Zuo Liangyu selected the soldiers with the most flexible minds and the hardest training among these civilians, and gave priority to equipped with spring wheel guns.

You Shiren followed Feng Ziying's gaze to the soldiers trained outside the city.

Vigorous and powerful steps, uniform movements, especially under the demonstration of a series of extremely aesthetic movements such as grasping the gun, half kneeling, shooting, standing up, and marching, even You Shiren and other Qian'an officials and gentry on the city wall are very impressed. I have to be shocked by this queue movement trained from modern performance regulations.

This is also Feng Ziying's intention. Otherwise, it is not enough to strengthen the determination of all the people to defend the city.

"By the way, have the goods shipped from Yulin been settled?" Feng Ziying turned her head and asked Zuo Liangyu.

"My lord, don't worry, it has been arranged. There is a special team that will take turns to wait for twelve hours, and the idlers are not allowed to enter within ten feet." Zuo Liangyu said in a deep voice.

You Shiren was a little curious, but he also knew that there would be no answer if he asked, so he simply didn't ask.

From Qian'an to Yuguan, after inspecting the construction progress of Yuguan Port, Feng Ziying rushed to Changli non-stop. After Changli deployed defenses, he detoured to Luanzhou to check the construction of Luanzhou's defense system.

Luanzhou still imitated Qian'an to rebuild the city wall and built some bastions and horse faces, but it was not as strong as Qian'an. After all, Qian'an was more risky, and Luanzhou hid behind Lulong.

After this trip, Feng Ziying only had an idea in her heart.

According to the preliminary plan, Zuo Liangyu will lead more than 300 people from Bashan Zuoying to be responsible for the guards of Qian'an County.

At the same time, Feng Ziying also put Luo Yiguan's three cavalry in Qian'an.

One of them is stationed in the city and can attack at any time, and the other is placed immediately to the north of Jianchang Camp, which is already a mountainous area with rugged and complicated terrain, and Luo Yitong's cavalry is very familiar with this area, and they are still ready for guerrilla warfare.

It is only [-] miles away from Qian'an City. If the Jianchang Camp hadn't withdrawn westward, of course it could be close to the Jianchang Camp and backed by a big tree, but this possibility is very small.

Feng Ziying knew very well that the existing soldiers and horses of the Jianchang Camp would probably not stay where they were, and that they would most likely retreat westward to defend Shuntian Mansion. Then a part of Luo Yiguan's cavalry could be stationed in the Jianchang Camp as a countermeasure to force the Mongols to attack. During the siege of Qian'an, a surprise attack from the north had to be considered.

Another part is hiding in the west of the Luan River, facing Qian'an County across the river. Because the Luan River is separated, the Mongolian army cannot easily cross the river. If a small group crosses the river, Luo Yiguan can fight. He can retreat directly to Zhenzi Town in the west, or even retreat into Fengrun Land.

However, because this part has to maintain close contact with the Mongolian army and at the same time pose a threat to the Mongolian army besieging Qian'an, it is a test of the commanding ability of the leading officer. lead.

Stepping into her fellow acquaintance's office, Feng Ziying set her eyes on the sand table in front of her.

This is a topographic sand table of the entire Yongping Prefecture. To be precise, it is the topographic sand table of the central and northern part of Yongping. It is quite rough, but it can basically outline the topography of Yongping.

This was the task entrusted to Wu Yaoqing by Feng Ziying, and Wu Yaoqing spent a lot of energy.

Although he is not a leading general, the defense of Yongping is of great importance this time, and without the support of Jizhen soldiers, the entire defense of Yongping is actually on him.

Zhu Zhiren didn't understand anything, so he simply delegated all the power to him.

The sand table is very rough, and it is roughly made according to the shape of the map of the Ministry of War, but it also combines the hard work of Wu Yaoqing and a group of people over the past few months.

Feng Ziying didn't know much about surveying and mapping, but he read "The Elements of Geometry" translated by Xu Guangqi and Matteo Ricci.

This should be of great significance to the subject of surveying and mapping. At the same time, I heard that Xu Guangqi is presiding over the compilation of "Measurement Quanyi". This should also be a huge achievement, and it will have great value and significance for future military surveying and mapping.

But now he can only ask Wu Yaoqing and the others to use relatively primitive methods to make some descriptions, well, it should not even be considered as surveying and mapping.

He also made up his mind that after this battle, there is no need to go to Tianjin to visit Xu Guangqi, who is unemployed and experimenting with potatoes and sweet potatoes locally. But it seems out of place, but Feng Ziying believes that as long as there is a chance, this person will be able to bloom the light that belongs to this era.

　There will be another one at 12 o'clock tonight, brothers, please prepare your guaranteed monthly pass!
