Wang Deng pulled out the knife from the scabbard. The sharp blade was bright and dazzling in the sun, and the blade that had just been opened was filled with a strong coldness.

"This knife is freshly sharpened, please be careful when the general manager." Wang Deng glanced at the envoy: "But the armor of Xiangyang Mansion is strong, so it is impossible to hurt this brother even if it comes."

Zheng Yunming took the knife and walked slowly towards the envoy. The envoy struggled desperately, but how could he move a little while a few burly men clamped him like a mountain cast iron candle?

After no choice, he could only cry and spare his life and said, "The little man is still supported by his mother. The little man is just three years old. His wife is still waiting for the villain to go back at home. Please spare your life, please spare your life..."

Zheng Yunming threw the knife to the ground fiercely and shouted angrily: "Your life is fate, but the life of my subordinates is not fate! They also have parents, and their wives and children are waiting for them to go back to support them! Do you let them take such weapons to fight against the Mongolian cavalry?"

The inspector of the Shimaofu quickly came to smooth things over: "The supervisor must not be angry, do not be angry, things that are not suitable for use, we will return and exchange as it is."

"My boys! Check it out for me one by one! If there are such a ragged bastard, you can't use it! You will return it all!" Zheng Yunming won the thunderous response from a battalion with an angry order.

"So this guy is the only one left." Lu Xunzhi handed over a list helplessly.

Zheng Yunming scanned the list of pitiful numbers:

307 black oil spears, 225 red oil spears, 200 white wood spears, 200

Vermilion painted big platinum swords and guns forty knives, one thousand five hundred and two thousand six hundred hand knives

.........

"In short," Wang Deng said depressedly: "All the military weapons, flags, drums, clothes and armor are only enough to equip three thousand people. Can the remaining two thousand people be cut into wood and soldier?"

"We will solve the rest of the contents ourselves." Zheng Yunming put the list on the table and picked up the pen. Xian'er quickly uncovered the lid of the inkstone and prepared to pour water and grind it.

"Have you solved a lot?" It was Yang Xuan who spoke. He walked into the tent with alcohol, not seeing Wang Deng's glare in his eyes.

"I haven't seen each other for three days, what smell has come?" Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "Although I have tried to solve some of the weapons, the essential things such as armor, flags and golden drums have not yet been settled, so I have to find another way."

"I've taken care of those things." Yang Xiao said calmly: "Officials only need to prepare the money."

Wang Deng shook his head and said, "This seems to be inconsistent with the rules."

"It's okay," Zheng Yunming said: "But you have to tell me how you got these things."

Yang Xuan sat on the chair and said carelessly: "Today I drank wine with the leaders of merchants and craftsmen from Jinghu Lake and learned a lot of details."

"Where can we calcify armor, where can we make drums, where can we be good at making bows and arrows, and where the flags are good and cheap, I have a rough understanding of the drunken mantras by all the craftsmen."

"This matter is left to you." Zheng Yunming said: "The money aspect is not a problem, but the quality of the things I want is the best."

Yang Xuan patted his chest: "As long as you have money, there is no problem with this matter."

Wang Deng shook his head: "It's really the gourd official who brought the gourd soldiers. It's better to do less things like such unclear accounts in the future."

Zheng Yunming interrupted him with a smile and said, "This matter is decided. Weng Lu and I have already decided on a construction plan for the camp. Let's see what can be discussed."

He took out a drawing and clearly painted the composition of the camp. He arranged everything carefully where to build a military house, where to build a schoolyard, where to set it up as an armory, where to build a grain and grass stockpile, and where to be a medical bureau.

Wang Deng glanced at the drawings briefly and said, "Why are there only a few outposts south of the camp?"

Lu Xunzhi explained: "You have also seen it. The camp is located on Laoya Mountain, and the south is full of steep slopes. We cut down the trees on the south slope to ensure a wide view. In addition, there is a small river at the foot of the south slope, which is a natural obstacle. Reducing the guards at the outposts here is also to save troops."

"No!" Wang Deng said this sentence firmly, and then realized that he was a little disrespectful to Lu Xunzhi. He hurriedly explained: "The military strategy is clear, it is the process of making fewer mistakes on both sides. If I were an enemy general, I would send a soldier to attack with all my might in the front, so that the defenders could concentrate their energy on the north and overwhelm. Then, with an elite soldier, a sudden attack was made in the south. Not to mention such a shallow river and such a low mountain, even a hundred-foot abyss and a natural cliff, as long as they are willing, it is not a problem!"

Zheng Yunming sighed and said to Lu Xunzhi: "Mr. Lu, I said that this cannot be passed by Wang Jingsong. He wished he could arrange a sentry next to each foot of the fence to feel safe."

"Then increase the number of southern outposts and add traps at the foot of the mountain, delaying the antlers and fences."

Wang Deng was still not satisfied and pointed to the map and said, "It is not enough to have a dry moat in front of Dazhai. Send people to dig the Huzhai River and divert the water from the small river in the back mountain to turn it into a water moat to ensure it."

Yang Yu said impatiently: "When the enemy army besieged the city, how long can the city wall last? One year or two years? The fundamental way is to use strategies and keep the enemy from fighting in the wild."

Zheng Yunming smiled and said, "You can say that the current Song army cannot defeat the Mongols. The only thing we can do now is to consolidate the defense first, train troops and select generals slowly, and Xu Tu increased his ability to fight in a field, hoping to win and lose with the Tartars in a peaceful place someday in the future."

Lu Xunzhi also said: "Father Chun, this matter is unhurried. At least Zheng Shumou has taken the first step. It is the most important to stick to the defense now. Only by strengthening the defense can we see the day when we can fight against the Northern Army in the future and win."

Zheng Yunming replied: "That's true, then follow Jing Song's plan to modify it and start building a big village tomorrow!"

"You don't need to worry about these things." Wang Deng said: "When General Ge left, he left a homework for you."

Zheng Yunming was a little confused: "What homework can he leave for me?"

"It is to start tomorrow, don't pay attention to the camp anymore and have a good tour of the scenery from Zaoyang to Jiangling."

"You mean... let me go on a trip now?" Zheng Yunming laughed: "When did this rough figure become interested in traveling around the mountains and rivers?"
