In the north city of Yunzhou City, there is an iron smelting workshop under the jurisdiction of Feiyun Trading Company.
At this moment, even though it was snowing outside, it was freezing cold everywhere.
But in the workshop, the steaming forging tables were constantly clanging.
What is placed above is the items that have just been transported from the assembly line casting table. They need to undergo simple processing and quenching before they can become a truly qualified product.
In the coldest month of winter, it is not easy to achieve results. Most people spend the winter at home, but this iron smelting workshop is busy all year round as long as there is work.
Being able to work in major iron smelting workshops has become a great thing that makes people drool.
On this day, the iron smelting workshop was working as usual, and a batch of hoes were being mass-produced in the workshop.
With the construction of roads in Feiyun Mountains, so many people always need tools to work, and the consumption of tools has always been a big problem.
Therefore, the county governor's office divided the task of making tools and manufacturing replacement tools among the major workshops throughout Yunzhou County.
And because they were under Feiyun Trading Company, they grabbed a big piece of the cake in this division of interests and got the task of making hoes.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
"It's all crazy! The yamen is in urgent need of this hoe. Let's finish it quickly and deliver it early so that we can grab another job! But remember that the quality cannot be bad, otherwise we will be dragged into the yamen as coolies. Say we didn’t notify you!”
The steward of the workshop shouted loudly to the surrounding people.
The blacksmiths around him responded with a bang upon hearing this, and their men couldn't help but move a little faster.
At this moment, a boy ran in hurriedly, and then under the surprised gaze of the steward, he spoke before he could catch his breath: "Steward Liu! The latest order from the palace! All military-related workshops in the city , all entered a wartime state, and went all out to produce weapons to supply the army!
Our workshop was also included in the wartime workshop and was responsible for making throwing guns for the cavalry troops! "
When Manager Liu heard this, he looked surprised at first, an order from the palace? Wartime status?
But he soon realized the seriousness and hurriedly asked: "Is this going to be a war?"
The boy shook his head and said he didn't know.
Manager Liu knew that he would not get anything out of the question and did not ask him any more questions. He only thought for a moment and then strode towards the center of the assembly line. Then he announced loudly to everyone: "Everyone, by order of the prince's palace, from now on, the workshop will be transferred." In the wartime state, as soon as the latest batch of crude weapon embryos are shipped in from outside the city, they will immediately stop working and start building weapons!
I believe that everyone is not stupid. They know what it means when the palace asks them to do this. I hope everyone can be careful when making weapons and avoid inferior products. Otherwise, not only the palace will not be able to let us go, but our own consciences will also be unable to get through it. The soldiers must We will fight our enemies in Yunzhou County with these weapons.
Do you understand everything? ? "
Zhong Ren, who was busy at first, was shocked when he heard the shocking news, but then he quickly reacted and responded loudly to understand.
Manager Liu nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly adjusted the work order in the workshop to facilitate the production of weapons better and faster.
Fortunately, this was not the first time that their workshop had produced weapons for the military. They were familiar with all this, so it was not difficult at all. The entire production line was quickly adjusted.
At this time, the latest embryos from the stamping workshop outside the city were also sent over, and spear embryos were sent into the workshop. Then the workshop started to operate again, and the clanking sound started again, but this time the workshop was This noisy sound was like running water forming a long spear.
This workshop is just a microcosm in the entire Yunzhou City. At this moment, all workshops related to the military in the entire Yunzhou City have entered a wartime state.
Not only spears, but also armor workshops, sword workshops, helmet workshops, saddle workshops, shield workshops, etc...
All kinds of equipment were produced in an assembly line mode and the guard battalion was quickly replaced. A batch of secret weapons were also officially assembled into the army, making the guardsmen who were about to face the Tatar cavalry very excited.
Not only the equipment, but also military cans were made in the canning workshop and sent to the barracks one by one. There were meat, fruits, and even vegetables. It was amazing to have a bite of vegetables in this winter.
Canned vegetables from canning shops are the hottest sellers in winter.
In short, Zhao Jun has equipped the escort with all the material supplies, and then it only depends on the outcome of the war and God's will!
Looking at the various supplies that were transported to the military camp, the morale of the soldiers was extremely high, and they were all gearing up to prepare for the war.
The senior officers in the army were holding a combat meeting to discuss the method of this battle.
Military camp tent.
"This battle cannot be placed near my base camp. The good equipment the prince gave us is not for us to defend. Moreover, once we fall into a passive defensive situation, we have few people and will easily fall into Being passive and being led by the local government!
Therefore, I feel that we must take the initiative and control the battlefield to the brushing area, and we cannot let the enemy burn the flames of war near Yunzhou City! "
Guan Ning, the deputy commander of the escort army in the big tent, pointed at the sand table with his baton in his hand and expressed his opinion. This opinion was recognized by most of the generals. No one wanted to let the enemy block their own door and fight. It's also a good thing to be able to tie down the enemy somewhere else.
But some people have different opinions.
"Sir, I do not agree with your opinion. I understand that you want to resist the enemy and outside the country. However, the numerical disadvantage of our escort army is objective. If we do not rely on the city to garrison and face more than double the number of places, I am afraid that we The soldiers on our side will not be our opponents. You must know that most of our people are just new recruits who have been trained for three months, not veterans of hundreds of battles.
This war is related to the survival of our Yunzhou County. We must not act hastily. We must rely on the city to fight step by step. "
The commander of the Seventh Army, Shao Xianyang, stood up and expressed his opinions, and his opinions also represented the opinions of most conservatives in the Guards.
Their main concern is that there are too many new recruits in the guard camp. If they take the initiative to attack, they may not be able to complete the strategic goals well, or even be delayed. It is better to defend the city securely.
After Shao Xianyang stood up, other military commanders also stood up and expressed their opinions, but most of them were divided into two factions, the enemy-rejection faction and the city-defense faction. The two sides argued with each other.
At the top, the guard commander Ding Hongguang had been looking at the sand table silently, listening to the quarrels of his men for a long time, and suddenly said: "Everyone, please stop."
Although the sound was not loud, everyone could hear it clearly, and the originally noisy camp instantly became quiet.
And Ding Hongguang also said at this time: "Just act according to Deputy Commander Guan's plan."
Ding Hongguang said lightly.
The commander of the Seventh Army, Shao Xianyang, said anxiously: "But my lord, there are too many new soldiers in the camp. I'm afraid..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Ding Hongguang raising his hand.
"If they don't really engage in a brutal battle, they will always be recruits, and as long as they go through the battle, I believe that these men will be able to transform. Besides, you haven't seen the secret weapon that the prince gave us. , with these we have absolutely no need to confront each other head-on."
"Then how should we control the other party? The other party is not a fool and will not entangle with us on the grassland. He will definitely come straight to Yunzhou County."
Someone made an opinion.
Ding Hongguang did not answer, but stood up and circled the sand table. Then he waved his baton and pointed at a certain place and said: "Let's just go here. As long as we keep pulling here, the other party will definitely compete with us for this place."
I saw that the place Ding Hongguang was pointing to was the only water source within hundreds of miles from Yunzhou County.
Wherever the army passes, there must be water. If the water source is cut off, the army will be in danger!
As long as the guard camp occupies this place and keeps fighting with Hegel's Tatar cavalry, they will inevitably stop and compete with the guard camp for this water source, otherwise they will die of thirst halfway before they reach Yunzhou City!
Everyone immediately understood what Ding Hongguang meant, and everyone smiled.
