Chapter 242 Digging a Dragon Cave
Chapter 242: Digging a dragon cave
In the end, Zhang Zhun decided that every military household in Xiongya Institute, regardless of gender, who is more than three feet tall, would allocate ten acres of land. If he had the energy, he could continue to reclaim wasteland. The upper limit was 50 acres per person. This was also the meaning of encouraging everyone to move to Xiongya Institute. After all, the conditions for Xiongya Institute are really bad. Under the same circumstances, the military households would rather choose to stay in the relatively safe Aoshan City than return to Xiongya Institute.
Regarding the implementation of the law, Zhang Zhun of course only gave a general opinion and specific details. The officers and deputy officers were responsible for the specific operations. What Zhang Zhun focused more on was the issue of garrison.
Nowadays, all promises are fake, and only what you get is real. Song Degang promised that there would be no problem with his position as the commander of the guard. However, this is only his personal guarantee and has not been realized yet. Even if the confession documents and bronze medals occur, they may change at any time when they are handed over to Zhang Zhun. The control of the territory must be based on actual control. Regardless of whether there is the title of commander of the guard, Zhang Zhun will not let others get involved in the Aoshan Guard.
Especially Xiongya City, since it is under its own control, it must naturally grasp it. As the tentacles of Aoshan City, no matter what changes happen, it will be felt as fast as possible here. Therefore, strengthening the garrison here is the most urgent task.
Yang Zhiyuan's first association was stationed in Xiongya City, so of course he had to deploy strict defense. It takes one day to walk from Xiongya to Aoshan City. In other words, if Xiongya was attacked, it would take at least one day for reinforcements to arrive. In fact, with the time to report the message, it would have to be at least one day and a half. If it could be persisted for two days, it would be even better. After all, the reinforcements in Aoshan City could not set off immediately. Moreover, on the way to reinforcements, they might also be attacked and blocked by the enemy.
"Sir, even if the three thousand Ming troops attack, we can hold on for two days."
Jerry Yang said confidently.
The barracks he chose were not in the city, but in a valley in the southeast corner. The barracks were backed by a small hill, and both sides were the remnants of mountains. Due to the special location of the barracks, the enemy had to attack Xiongya City after the barracks were solved. The main force of the enemy could only attack from the front. If the enemy came up from the mountains on both sides, the sharpshooters of the First Association could make the sneak attackers suffer a lot. Due to the limitations of the terrain, the firepower of the Hu Ben Gun can be effectively exerted.
Of course, from a long-term perspective, the 200 people of the First Association are not enough. To really build it into a relatively solid fortress, at least one full-time association, that is, five teams, about 300. Zhang Zhun decided to expand the First Association immediately after returning to Fushan City and add two teams to make it reach the full state of five teams.
At the same time, Zhang Zhun is also preparing to set up a patrol team in Xiongya City to be responsible for daily public security and patrols. However, since the current population of Xiongya City is too small, this patrol team cannot be established for the time being. It is estimated that it will take three months to calm down Xiongya City, and the number of military households returning is gradually increasing. The total population exceeds 3,000 people, so the patrol team can be established.
"grown ups!"
While thinking, Zhang Zhun suddenly heard Fang He's voice.
Turning around and seeing that it was Fang He who arrived.
"The face is blushing, it seems that there is good news!"
Zhang Zhun said with a smile.
Fang He was indeed blushed and excited. He said loudly: "Sir, it's really a great harvest!"
Zhang Zhun smiled and said, "Sit down and say it."
Fang He reported to Zhang Zhun about the battle situation of the navy.
According to Zhang Zhun's order, the Fushan Sect's naval army quickly prepared for combat and set out for Tianheng Island. After a long voyage, they finally arrived near Tianheng Island. After a simple investigation, they found that the Tartars were indeed full of their lives. On Tianheng Island, there were all the families of the Tartars, as well as some elderly, weak, sick and disabled people. The navy immediately launched an attack, and the Tartars, who were caught off guard, were immediately beaten and fled everywhere.
However, after the families of these Tartars reacted from the panic, they were quite powerful. The Jurchens were originally soldiers of the whole nation. Many old Tartars were elites on the battlefield back then. Even though they were gray-haired and their ability to shoot arrows was still quite strong. They took advantage of the advantage of familiar terrain to resist desperately. The old, weak, sick and disabled Tartars were still very harsh when they started ruthlessly at the critical moment of life and death. The sailors' forces were still a little less, with only two squads and one hundred people. Therefore, the battle lasted for a considerable period of time.
The traps set up by the Tatars were also quite troublesome. When the Tatars occupied Tianheng Island, in order to prevent attacks and to deal with the encirclement of officers and soldiers, Shublu ordered a large number of traps to be set up around Tianheng Island. The Tatars in Liaodong were originally hunting masters, and they were all proficient in setting traps. Especially after Mukata was eliminated, Tianheng Island's defensive power was severely weakened. For safety reasons, Shublu ordered that all places on Tianheng Island should be added to all traps.
After the naval soldiers came ashore, they not only had to fight the remaining Tartars, but also fought these damn traps. Because they were not familiar with the trap settings, the sailors lost several people at one time. Due to insufficient manpower, each attack took a lot of time. Even so, the sailors still gained a firm foothold on Tianheng Island with their tenacious fighting spirit, and broke the trap step by step, slowly compressing the Tartars into one piece.
In the end, the remnants of the Tartars were all guarding a narrow valley. The surroundings of the valley were unable to climb. It was still a bit difficult to attack. Because the Tartars' bows and arrows were very powerful, Yang Guohua, Zhou Zhengyu and others discussed how to take down the canyon without causing too much casualties. At this moment, they received Zhang Zhun's order: retreat.
Although they didn't understand why Zhang Zhun asked them to retreat, they still quickly executed the order. The Tartars in the valley were lucky to escape for the time being. According to Zhang Zhun's order, when they retreated, the navy naturally moved all the valuable things on the island. As a result, two pig-bearded boats and a pirate ship were full of supplies. When they came, the water line was only about three feet, and when they went back, the water line exceeded five feet, which showed the weight of the supplies.
These materials were plundered by the Tatars from nearby places. The Tartars had been on the coast of Shandong for several years, and the wealth they gathered was naturally quite considerable. After the Tartars grabbed these wealth, they had no way to take them back to Liaodong, so they could only continue to accumulate on the island. As a result, the navy of Fushan City was scattered. After preliminary statistics, there were at least 50,000 taels of silver, more than 3,000 taels of gold, and countless other gold and silver jewelry.
In addition, there are a large number of rare items such as ginseng, marten, tiger skin, deer antler, bear paw, bear gall, tiger gall, etc. These are carried by the Tartars when they escaped from Liaodong. Due to the war, these materials from the Tartars are difficult to transport and export through normal channels, resulting in the rare and precious things in the outside market. If these materials are sold, they can be sold at least tens of thousands of taels of silver. This feeling is like digging a dragon's cave while reading a fantasy novel and moving all the treasures inside out. Almost all the eyes of the navy were shattered.
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
When Zhang Zhun faced the capture of the three major ships, he naturally couldn't stop smiling.
When Zhang Zhun reached an agreement with Song Degang to give up attacking Tianheng Island, he was still a little regretful. Anyone could guess that the Tartars had been entrenched on Tianheng Island for a long time, and they continued to plunder the land during the period, and they must have accumulated good wealth. As long as they captured Tianheng Island, they could steal these wealth. In addition to wanting military achievements, Song Degang coveted the wealth on Tianheng Island, which was also an important reason. If all these wealth were stolen by the officers and soldiers, it would be a waste of money to those dog officials. Now, there is no regret at all. All the wealth of the Tartars was held in his arms, and it was because the Heavenly King could not snatch it away.
I wonder what expression Oboi would have when he returned to Tianheng Island? One thing is certain, Oboi should not continue to stay in Tianheng Island. With both people and wealth, his best choice is to withdraw to Liaodong. Of course, it is not ruled out that Oboi will jump over the wall and live and die together with Tianheng Island. As for the soldiers in Dengzhou, they will definitely feel very disappointed after conquering Tianheng Island. Because all the valuable things on Tianheng Island are gone!
"You guys go back first!"
"Leave all the supplies to the Finance Department for processing!"
Zhang Zhun said solemnly.
The financial department manager is his future wife, Yang Yinghan, and gold and silver are naturally relieved.
"clear!"
Fang He agreed to go.
With such a fortune, Zhang Zhun was in a very good mood. A deserted cliff was full of vitality in his eyes, and it was full of greenness. Tian Boguang and others were all very strange. Why did this young commander-in-law humming a tune after seeing a subordinate? What's so happy?
Even Zhang Lingyun and others couldn't help but ask curiously: "Sir, why are you so happy?"
Zhang Zhun just smiled and said with a smile: "The secret of heaven cannot be revealed."
After staying in Xiongya for two days, Zhang Zhun returned directly to Aoshan City.
