I'm a big dick

Chapter 241
Although Jiannu retreated to the Jinzhou Acropolis, he was still not reconciled, and seemed to be gathering strength to attack again.However, the local combat situation is already at a disadvantage.

It is still the navy of the Ming army, which can land from both directions, east and west, and copy the way of building slaves.Among them, breaking in from Pulandian Bay and capturing Shiheyi or Xinjin is the most threatening.

In other words, if it is wise for Jiannu to withdraw from the entire Jinzhou, strengthen the troops in Fuzhou, and curb the Ming army's northward raids and containment.

No way, who let the Liaodong Peninsula be surrounded by sea on three sides!Such geographical conditions doomed Jiannu, who was good at riding and archery, to find it difficult to confront the Ming army with a full range of boat divisions for a long time.

Of course, if the shortcomings of the field battle cannot be made up, there will be no small risk for the Ming army to continue to penetrate into southern Liaoning.

Field battle——Zhang Pan raised his head and looked at the gray sky. Snowflakes were falling on the ground, bringing a slight chill to his face.

The matchlock gun was afraid of rain and snow, so Zhang Pan shook his head helplessly.

The defense of the position can also be covered with straw sheds and so on. How can there be such time and conditions in the wild?
Therefore, the performance of the Ming army this year is good, but it is only harassment, containment and consumption.In order to truly attack and fight, field combat capabilities must have a breakthrough growth.

Zhang Pan thought of the cavalry, but he didn't know the "cavalry wall" tactics that the Beijing camp was training. He thought that if he wanted to fight Jiannu head-on, he would need at least three years of rigorous training.

And Zhu Youxiao not only thought of cavalry, but also infantry, and the flintlock was the key to solving the problem.Of course, there are also weapons such as field guns.

According to Zhu Youxiao's timetable, strive to at least equip Liao Town and Dongjiang Town with complete equipment within one year, form a two-sided attack on Jiannu, and form a counterattack.

Zhang Pan didn't know the emperor's timetable. Although he was eager to make the army stronger and attack Jiannu more violently, he also knew that the imperial court had already given full support to the Dongjiang army.

In nearly a year, the Dongjiang Army has grown from scratch, and how much money, food and materials it consumes, can he not know?
Not only the Dongjiang Army, but also hundreds of thousands of Liao people.It's not that the imperial court transported food and money, resettled in multiple ways, and I don't know how many people will freeze and starve to death!
A familiar figure appeared in front of him, with slightly limping steps and powerful movements of swinging the hammer, Zhang Pan recognized him immediately.

Zhang Pan had a particularly close feeling for this veteran, so he walked over.

Boom, boom, boom!
Zhang Zhuzi smashed the wooden stake into the soil several times with a sledgehammer.The ground is only frozen on the surface with a thin layer, and it is not too laborious.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he led a few people to set up a wooden stake.

"Old Zhang." A call stopped Zhang Zhuzi.

"Master Zhang." Zhang Zhuzi turned his head to see clearly, and bowed to salute.

Zhang Pan stepped forward to support his arm, and said with a smile: "Let them do it first, and I will tell you something."

Zhang Zhuzi nodded, handed the hammer to someone else, gave some instructions, and then followed Zhang Pan to the side.

After pondering for a while, Zhang Pan opened his mouth and said: "The weather is getting colder, construction is inconvenient, and food and supplies are limited. After the construction of the military barracks is completed, most of the people still have to return to their original islands. They will return in large numbers until the spring of next year to build houses. During reclamation."

Knowing this, Zhang Zhuzi didn't say anything, waiting for Zhang Pan to continue.

"But you have to leave some able-bodied people, and you can't leave." Zhang Pan smiled and said, "First clean up the houses in the old village, which are enough to live in. You take them and measure the fields. Registration will save a lot of trouble next year."

"And—" Zhang Pan paused for a moment, and continued: "It is estimated that Jiannu will not confront our army for a long time, and may withdraw from Jinzhou soon. There should be many Liao people who will take the opportunity to break away from Jiannu rule, or from Come and join us by sea, or by land."

Zhang Zhuzi thought for a while, and said, "Your Excellency, you mean to keep them temporarily, but you are a little worried, and let me and the strong people who stay behind take care of them?"

"Guardian?" Zhang Pan nodded and said, "Well, it's a combination of care and care!"

"Understood, my lord." Zhang Zhuzi said: "There are some courageous people who want to stay and live. First come, first served, and the fields are tight for them to choose first, so there is no problem."

Zhang Pan patted Zhang Zhuzi's arm, took off his cotton gloves and stuffed them to Zhang Zhuzi, and said with a smile, "You can handle these things flexibly. Anyway, the imperial court doesn't collect taxes, money and food. It's a good thing to have land to grow."

Zhang Zhuzi asked a few more questions, such as drawing some guns, knives and weapons for the able-bodied people, and Zhang Pan agreed one by one.

After the matter was explained, Zhang Pan waved goodbye and took the people away.

Zhang Zhuzi watched Zhang Pan and the others go away, and put on his gloves, which were still warm inside.This is equipment for the army, but the common people don't have it, so they can only do it themselves.

But now he is not lamenting how good it is to have gloves, but he is excited and joyful to recover the Luda area and to be able to keep it for a long time.

Although Zhang Pan didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, he could see Zhang Pan's confidence in the plan to resettle the people.And this is also the confidence and confidence of the army.

Exhaling a thick white mist, Zhang Zhuzi with a joyful smile walked quickly towards the people nailing wooden stakes in the distance.

He wants to tell them the good news that this place is safe, and the officers and soldiers will definitely be able to guard it.

Phi Island.

All the troops involved in the harassment operation have all returned to the station, but they only relaxed and rested for a few days, and then became tense again.

With the approach of winter, where will Jiannu's attack be directed?The Dongjiang army is tossing happily, will it become the key target of Jiannu's attack?

There is no need to worry too much about Phi Island and Shenmi Island, but if the Yalu River freezes, Manpu, Changcheng, Sinuiju and Tieshan are likely to be attacked by Jiannu.

Although many fortifications have been built, geographically, it does not have the advantage of the Luda area.

Moreover, this was reminded by the Holy Majesty in the secret report.If you take it lightly and really suffer a heavy loss, it will be dereliction of duty and dereliction of duty.

According to the situation in usual years, the Yalu River will be frozen for another one or two months.In this one or two months, how to improve the defense is the work that Mao Wenlong and others have to work hard.

"Manpu and Changcheng only leave a small number of garrisons for vigilance and surveillance." Chen Jisheng glanced at Mao Wenlong, continued pointing to the map and said: "Concentrate the troops in Sinuiju, and relocate the old and weak in the fields to the island."

Mao Wenlong nodded slightly, seemingly appreciative, but did not give a positive answer.

In fact, Chen Jisheng's suggestion did not fit his mind.The Yalu River was frozen, and Jiannu could not only attack directly across the river, but also attack from the middle reaches, forming a multi-point attack on Sinuiju.
