We are still in the age of cold weapons, and iron tools are strictly controlled by the Dacheng court. There are basically no iron tools in ordinary people’s homes.

But this is the frontier.

Dacheng’s binding force on this was very weak, and the Beishuo people often looted, which made the people in the border areas extremely tough, and many people owned ironware in their homes.

Even weapons.

After solving the food problem, the population of Xin’an Town was in urgent need of expansion. Lu Ming ordered the armed guards to go out frequently to find refugees and bring them back to Xin’an Town.

It seems that winter is about to come, and the Beishuo people have become more and more aggressive in plundering the Dacheng border area, which naturally results in a large number of refugees.

at the same time.

When the armed guards went out, they were constantly searching for iron tools. In this way, the population and armament of Xin’an Town were growing at an extremely fast rate.

Two months later.

Xin’an Town has expanded from more than 2,000 people to more than 5,000 people. The iron tools brought back by the armed guards increased the number of flintlock guns to 200.

Only limited by the gunpowder stock, these flintlock guns cannot be fully equipped.

in addition.

Due to the surge in population, the armed guards in Xin’an Town are also expanding. Up to now, the armed guards have reached more than 600 people, doubling their number.

Although people in Xin’an Town do not need to farm, Lu Ming does not let them idle. They either cut down trees to expand the town, or participate in all aspects of production in Xin’an Town.

The arrangements are clear.

It doesn’t mean that if there is enough food, everyone will eat and wait to die. Food is wages. People who don’t work can’t get food. Lu Ming doesn’t feed idle people.

under such a policy.

Xin’an Town is expanding very fast. Stimulated by food, the townspeople burst out with great enthusiasm and enthusiasm, making the whole town extremely lively.

As long as you work, you can have food to eat. What is there to be dissatisfied with in these days? Besides, as long as you are active in literacy, you can also get a bucket of rice as a reward.

There is no place more peaceful than Xin’an Town.

Cut down trees.

Build a house.

Cultivation of fields.

Make and pave the way.

The entire Xin’an Town is full of vitality, and the mental outlook of the townspeople is far better than that in Chang’an Town, especially deep in the mountains.

It is simply a paradise.

Bang bang bang!

A sound like thunder came from the training ground outside Xin’an Town. Two children climbed up to the roof and looked over from a distance, but unfortunately they saw nothing.

One of the children asked curiously: “Why are there always noises over there and are they so loud?”

Another child put his hands on his hips and said angrily: “Our adults in Xin’an Town are immortals. I heard that it seems to be a powerful magic weapon made by adults.。”

“magic weapon? Have you ever seen it?”

“Never seen.

The child shook his head: “This is a secret and cannot be seen by ordinary people. I have asked my uncle many times, but he never refused to say anything to me. “。”

“Hey, what are you two doing climbing so high? Why don’t you come down quickly? My husband’s class is about to start. Why don’t you go and learn a few more words? If you can save more rice, you can win over your mother-in-law! ”

A strong man walked past the house carrying wood and drank two children.。

“oh。”

“I’ll go right away. ”

The two children were as nimble as monkeys. They climbed down from the roof in a few seconds and ran towards the teacher’s classroom, raising dust along the way.

Since the literacy class was launched, the effect has been very significant, at least there are more people in Xin’an Town. Few people can recognize two words, and the illiteracy rate is declining rapidly.

As Lu Ming said,

those who perform well are rewarded with a dou of rice, while those who are extremely smart are assigned to the affairs management of Xin’an Town.

With an official position.

In this way,

Xin’an Town is running more and more orderly.

Boom!

Suddenly.

A loud noise far stronger than

(Read more novels by visiting our website: Knights Novel) the sound of gunfire exploded in the mountains and forests, startling the townspeople of Xin’an Town, and the armed guards and nearby The guards immediately put themselves on guard.。

“gather! ”

The training ground.

More than 600 armed guards gathered quickly. The queues were in order, and each of them looked serious, faintly exuding a sharp military power. The

sound just now was the sound of gunpowder explosion, which was specially made by Lu Ming Once the signal flares are detonated by people on guard outside the mountain, it means that someone is invading. The

town needs to be prepared in advance.

Not long after the armed guards gathered, the sound of rapid horse hooves was heard, and a soldier on guard outside the mountain He rushed into the town at full speed, then turned over and dismounted.

He quickly reported: “Sir, Zhang Heng’s caravan is here, but he seems to have been targeted by the Beishuo people outside the mountain. At this time, the Beishuo people plundered The troops are chasing into the mountains! Lu

Ming opened the door, walked out of the house, and asked, “How many people are chasing from Beishuo?””

“There were about a hundred people, all cavalry. ”

Time is urgent.

Lu Ming immediately ordered: “He Duizheng, order the first to fifth teams of the Wuwei Army to equip all of them with muskets and ten rounds of ammunition for each person. Not a single Beishuo person can be let go!”

“yes! ”

He Songsheng took the order, turned around and rushed to the training ground to convey Lu Ming’s order. There are

twenty people in one team, and five teams are one hundred people. Each person has ten rounds of ammunition, a total of one thousand rounds. According to Lu Ming’s estimation, as long as Use the advantage of the terrain to ambush in advance.

Just a few rounds of volleys to disrupt the Beishuo people, and they can probably be shot one by one later. No one is more familiar with the terrain here than them. Block the

entrance and exit of the mountain road, and this will It was a round of bloodbath. The Beishuo people’s horses could not exert their advantage in the mountains and could not carry out a group charge.

After the order was issued,

in the training ground,

the armed guards were ready.

He Songsheng rushed in quickly and shouted: “Your Majesty has an order, All members of the first to fifth teams of the Wuwei Army are equipped with muskets, and each person has ten rounds of ammunition to kill all Beishuo people!”

“Taking orders from a humble position! ”

Hearing that they were going to kill the Beishuo people, Teams 1 to 5 immediately became energetic and excited. They all accepted the order, picked up the firearms and ammunition prepared in advance, and went to intercept and kill the Beishuo people. Not long after, they arrived at the previous

place

. The ambush locations arranged during the training were that the first and second teams were ambushing at one end of the valley near Xin’an Town, and the third, fourth and fifth teams were ambushing in the woods at the entrance of the valley. In less than a

moment。

“drive! ”

The ground shook.

Zhang Heng’s caravan rushed into the valley. A group of people looked panicked. The horses pulled the goods and hurried through. They did not notice the ambush of the armed guards at all.。

“quick!

Zhang Heng shouted: “The Beishuo people are coming to catch up! ” ”

At this time, he really regretted it. Winter was about to come, and the Beishuo people were looting like crazy. It was not safe to come to the frontier to do business. But when he

thought

of sugar,

he gritted his teeth and came over after all. Wealth and wealth are dangerous. Zhongqiu, there is no way to make a lot of money safely. If he can establish a solid sugar supply relationship with Lu Ming, then it

will be just around the corner for him to become bigger and stronger!

With a sense of luck, he brought a batch of sugar cane and The goods Lu Ming needed arrived, but he was afraid that he would be targeted by the Beishuo people before he entered the mountain.

There were guards in his caravan, but these guards were no match for the Beishuo people. , Zhang Heng has no intention of fighting head-on with the Beishuo people.
