Chapter VIII

"Or why don't we talk about it after the New Year?" Kong Youde looked at Zhang Pan with consultation, and Zhang Bang from Deng Town, and smiled, "Don't miss Mr. Xiong and take the lead!"

Zhang Pan scratched his head and said uncertainly: "Don't relax too much, be prepared, speed up reconnaissance and spying, and be able to act at any time."

Zhang Bang nodded with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiong is full of confidence. He probably has a powerful method. He is afraid that Jiannu will not go and get bleeding!"

Kong Youde took out his small cigarette pouch again, putting a cigarette on it and said, "After the New Year, a certain right-level association will take the lead. Let the three associations work together to drive Jiannu out of Jinzhou."

"Is it a bit too hasty?" Zhang Pan shook his head gently and said, "There are two flags of Jiannu in front of him, so there is no problem in defense; if you attack, it may be difficult to win. Our current mission is to stick to the University of Viagra and make it the foundation of eternal solidity."

"Can Dongjiang headquarters support it?" Kong Youde said: "Dengzhen and Jinzhen are also idle. The emperor attaches great importance to the four guards in southern Liaoning. Don't you want to take them back as soon as possible?"

Zhang Bang raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Yuan told a family that keeping the harem is the first thing to do. The emperor means waiting for a while, as if there are new weapons and new tactics to be introduced."

Oh, Kong Youde and Zhang Pan turned their gaze to Zhang Bang, and Zhang Bang had to smile bitterly and said, "I don't know the details either. But since Lord Yuan explained this, we will not move like a mountain. What's wrong with waiting for a while?"

Zhang Pan pondered for a moment and said, "It's good. Traveling is so important, but you must never make any mistakes to defeat the emperor's earnest period."

"A new weapon, is it more powerful than an eagle gun?" Kong Youde scratched his head and thought, but after smoking a bag of cigarettes, he simply stood up and said, "I went to see the training of the cavalry, Lao Zhang went to see how many dumplings were wrapped. There are tens of thousands of people, and it is not enough to eat if there are fewer."

Zhang Pan nodded and stood up and said, "The dumplings must be enough, but the frozen ones are not as delicious as those that are freshly wrapped."

There was no way. Although there were many officers and soldiers, the dumplings were made beautiful and delicious but not many. So I handed them all over the kitchen and wrapped them in advance and frozen them. Then the officers from each department took them and cooked them.

Zhang Bang had nothing to do, so he took the patrol errands. Although he was not afraid of Jiannu's attack, the officers and soldiers could not relax during the New Year. They were ready to take precautions just in case.

There is a festive atmosphere in the military camp, but during wartime, the responsibilities of soldiers are not very strong.

The villages and towns in Luda are different. Since Jiannu rebelled against the Ming Dynasty and the war has continued, these Liao people have been frightened and have not had a few days of peace of mind.

Now, although it is still in the war era, it is not under the rule of Jiannu, and the court is also very careful in resettlement and relief for the Liao people.

Seeing the large area of ​​brigade, most of the people could defend it, and the people were relieved to spend a good New Year and exude their long-depressed mood.

Every family in the village has posted couplets, some have New Year pictures on their doors and lanterns hung. The people also have smiles on their faces, and the sound of greetings when they meet is loud.

"Yingzi, why don't you freeze dumplings?" Yingzi's father just put down his cigarette puff when he heard the door ringing, knowing that his daughter was back.

Yingzi responded readily and said, "I'll chop the meat filling and wrap it and eat it tomorrow."

"You can work hard alone?" said the father: "Zhuzi has a big appetite and has less packages. People are embarrassed to eat, so it's better not to invite them!"

"No matter how big the food is, it's enough to eat." Yingzi entered the house with a smile, but in a blink of an eye, he frowned, covered his nose and retreated.

The father chuckled twice and said, "Stop coming to this house in the future, you'll be choking!"

After pausing, the father asked again, "Did you go to that shop with A Tao to negotiate wages? I'm asking me to tell me that it's good to give six yuan a year. You don't have to do a lot of effort, it's much better than farming."

Yingzi smiled and said, "Dad, A Tao and I have already talked about eight big yuan. Not included in the wages, it is the bonus for the Wanbao Festival and New Year's Day."

Yingzi's father laughed and said, "I must have been annoyed by your nagging, so I just added two big yuan to buy some quietness."

"No!" Yingzi didn't care. She made a fire in the outer room to cook, but she was very happy. She was in charge of the meal and was not tired of work. She gave eight big yuan a year. What a great thing.

After smoking, Yingzi's father came to the outer room and said to his daughter: "Dad will plant ten acres of land next year. If the year is good, the grain will be enough for us to eat. You can save the eight big yuan."

"You can plant ten acres of land?" Yingzi asked, tilting his head, "Don't be too tired."

Yingzi's father smiled and said, "Didn't the court say that he would lend it to the people to plow oxen, and the army also said that he would lend the horses. With the efforts of the animals, can ten acres of land still cause fatigue?"

Yingzi nodded and said, "Anyway, there is no tax collection for the first year, and ten acres of land are enough to drink porridge no matter how small it is."

Yingzi's father smiled and said, "Silly girl, she doesn't have to plant rice and wheat. We need a variety of beans. I didn't see that there were so many horses, soybeans, and black beans could be sold at a good price!"

Yingzi curled her lips and said, "Dad, are you still calculating? Don't be able to sell beans, you can't even drink porridge!"

"No, no." Yingzi's father said confidently: "I heard from Zhuzi that in order to raise horses, the officials also encouraged the people to grow alfalfa!"

Oh, Yingzi doesn't understand very much. She doesn't care much if she listens to her father's words.

"It seems that Lushun is stable!" Yingzi's father narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "This officer and soldier is very different from the Liaodong army heads a few years ago! It is really hopeful to pacify Liao and destroy Jiannu."

Yingzi smiled. Even though she didn't understand it very much, she was happy and relieved when she heard this.

Pi Island.

It was similar to Zhang Pan and others' plans. After discussing with generals such as Gou Zhenhuai, Mao Wenlong decided to take action after the New Year.

Jiannu suppressed the Dongjiang headquarters with two flag forces. Given the gap in field capabilities, he was obviously not sure of head-on struggle.

Therefore, the result of the military discussion was that the two associations were to defend Tieshan and Pi Island, and the other association landed on the coast between Huanggu Island Fort and Xiaojia Island Pass.

First of all, there are no big rivers entering the sea in this landing area, the salt content of the sea water is high and the coast is not frozen, which is conducive to landing;

Secondly, this place is located between the two Later Jin corpses in southern Liao and Zhenjiang. If one side wants to draw troops to intercept them, the distance will be similar, which is conducive to mastering the time of harassment and retreat;
