"Brother Zhong, stop for a moment. Where is the little Cuiren?!"
Er Gouzi walked around in Yangjiabao and found Zhong Kai who was training new recruits.
"Stop! Everyone, take a rest first. Mr. Yang built the Yang Family Fort to give us a safe shelter. I hope you can practice hard and guard the Yang Family Fort for me, giving future generations a carefree living environment."
Zhong Kai followed the brainwashing template given by Yang Ming and either gave the soldiers chicken soup or painted pie cakes every day, which made everyone hope that the Turks would invade Yangjiapu soon.
why? !
Yang Ming also put a lot of thought into formulating the military merit system of Yangjiabao.
In the feudal dynasty, most of the military merits were obtained in exchange for the enemy's heads. That is, on the battlefield, no matter whether you killed the enemy or not, as long as you captured the head, it would be considered a military merit. So as long as you act quickly and get a few heads down, your life will change drastically.
In order to avoid head-grabbing incidents on the battlefield in the future, Yang Ming adopted a modern collective merit system. Some people with high reputations in the army were also selected to form a calculation team responsible for statistics of military merits along with the army.
The emergence of this group can calculate the individual and collective merits that stand out in each war, and repeatedly confirm to avoid the occurrence of false reports of merits and failure to listen, which will cause swarms to rob people.
You don't have to worry about your hard-earned military achievements being corrupted when you fight in a war, and the rewards from Yangjiabao are much higher than those of the regular army.
The Yang Family Fort is a personal property, and Yang Ming cannot give his subordinates official titles or titles, but his perverted system of rewarding military merit can also allow people to fight bravely, and use their actions to benefit and benefit their descendants.
In a feudal dynasty where human life was at stake, Yang Ming's perverted system of rewarding military merit might attract more retired soldiers. I'm afraid that by then there will be no more wars in the Tang Dynasty, and the people in Yangjiabao will all want to run to the grasslands and fight the Turks to the death!
"Er Gouzi, how come you can't wait to come to Yangjiabao to find Xiaocui after we haven't seen each other for a few days? Are you worried that Ding Daniu has been doing great work by the young master's side every day, and Xiaocui will be snatched away by him?! Hahaha !”
Zhong Kai sat on the square table made by Yang Ming, opened a jar of wine, crossed his legs and teased Er Gouzi.
"Daniu is nothing. He only met Xiaocui once when he came back, and we didn't even talk to each other for a while. The young master told me that those who are closer to the water first get the moon, and letting me stay in the base camp is a test for me! We still have big things to do. Are you helping my little master?!"
"Master said, the young master looks very rich and has a bright future. You are responsible for training the troops, Xiaocui studies internal affairs, and I will innovate. The three of us are the right-hand assistants of the young master, and we are indispensable. That Daniu is a top-notch one. Guard, there are a lot of people in Baihu Village who can replace him!"
Er Gouzi smelled the aroma of wine on the table and his mouth was full of laughter. I couldn't wait to find two big bowls and poured them in without saying anything.
"Hey, hey, hey! I'm talking about brother Ergouzi, the young master only gave me three jars, one jar is worth ten guan! You have to drink it leisurely for me, don't waste the fine wine! If the young master three months later If I don’t come back in time due to something, the days when the supply of alcohol is cut off will be worse than death!”
Ergouzi was so careless that he took a big mouthful of food when he picked up the bowl.
"Brother Zhong, these wines are cheap. They are post-processed. The ones that the young master said are worth ten guan have not been released yet! Don't rush, don't rush. From now on, I will be responsible for brewing the wine in Yang Family Fort. Your brother just drinks with his mouth open, it’s enough!”
Zhong Kai glanced at Ergouzi, whose face was not red and his heart was not beating. He was really thick-skinned. You are so addicted to alcohol that the young master didn't even give you a pot. How dare you make a big deal with me? Talk to me later.
Ergouzi could see contempt and disbelief in Zhong Kai's eyes, so he raised his eyebrows again and said unconvinced:
"Brother Zhong, don't believe me! As long as my masterpiece comes out, it will not only make Yangjiapu famous far and wide, but also get the task of brewing fine wine."
"What mission? Why are your and Xiaocui's missions confidential? I'm only responsible for training soldiers?! After all, they are all members of our own family. Is it interesting to make it mysterious?!"
Ergouzi picked up the bench, looked around and saw that no one was around, then sat down next to Zhong Kai and said meaningfully:
"It's not that the young master didn't tell you, it's just that the situation in Daizhou is urgent and he doesn't have time to explain everything to you. But I knew a rough idea when I was in Baihu Village that day!"
"What is the content?! Does the young master want to make himself king?!"
Zhong Kai was a little excited inside. A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier! Yang Ming's behavior is not like Li Yuan's. Although his background is different, Zhong Kai always feels that Yang Ming is the potential stock!
"Damn you, you haven't had a drink yet, what nonsense are you talking about! Our young master has a lazy personality and advocates a free and easy life. How can he sit in that thankless chair? If you have money, you don't play around, you just Being able to live in a big house and approve documents every day is something only a sick person can do!"
Zhong Kai:. . . . . .
"Okay! Brother Ergouzi, let's get down to business. You ran from Baihu Village to Yangjiapu and told me to stop my training. You're not just here to chat, drink and pick up girls!"
Ergouzi took out a Hongnong Yang family's token and put it on the table, and said a little depressed:
"We seem to be in trouble! Shenzong Lin infiltrated a group of people at some point, eight people in official-looking clothes. They sneakily entered the newly set trap area and suffered disaster."
"Three of them are dead so far, two are probably incurable, and only three are alive. They took out their tokens and kept claiming that the third young master of the Hongnong Yang family sent them from Yanzhou to find the young master!"
"I haven't seen the young master take out the token before. I don't know whether this thing is real or fake. So I will take this thing and come over to Xiaocui to confirm it!"
Zhong Kai picked up the cards in his hand and looked at them carefully. His professional appearance made Ergouzi stunned.
"Brother Zhong, do you know what the Yang family's cards look like?"
Zhong Kai asked someone to inform Xiaocui, while he took out his fish charm and fell into deep thought. He picked up the drink with his right hand and drank it in one gulp:
"What exquisite craftsmanship, worthy of a wealthy family. Even a portable token can be made lifelike! It is completely different from the fish charms issued by the Tang Dynasty military!"
Ergouzi:. . . . . .
A soldier just walked out for a while, then turned back and said:
"General Zhong, Brother Ergou, and Manager Xiaocui are here!"
"Brother Zhong, I heard you were looking for me?!"
Xiaocui and Liu Yun walked from the city wall with a bounce.
It should be said that the area of the Ten Thousand Gods Valley is indeed large, surrounded by mountains, but the actual area used in the overall planning is not large.
From north to south are the city wall, military barracks, private residences, mid-level military training ground, cottage, private residences, military barracks, and city wall.
From east to west are the mountains ~ the back mountain secret base ~ the cottage ~ the castle ~ the canyon ~ the Shenzong Forest ~ the White Tiger Village ~ the Zama River.
Therefore, due to the terrain, Yang Ming could resist tens of thousands of troops as long as he had people guard the north and south walls of Yangjia Fort. Moreover, the tens of thousands of troops here refer to the infantry of the Tang Dynasty who attacked fortresses, not the cavalry of the Turks.
It's not that Yang Ming looks down on the Turks, but the localized terrain makes it impossible to deploy all the troops. No matter how many people you come, Yang Ming will only treat it as an invasion of the highest scale of 10,000 enemy troops.
Unless it's the kind of deep hatred that doesn't count the battle losses. They had to use wheel battles to storm Yangjia Fort, use the lives of countless soldiers to fill the gap, and consume the energy of the defenders before they could reluctantly enter the city.
And Yang Ming was even more shameless, taking advantage of the terrain to the extreme.
When the war starts, he will evacuate the people into the castle, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, leaving nothing for the enemy, and widening the enemy's supply line.
Even if the enemy breaks through the city wall, he can still rely on the castle to resist and consume the enemy's supplies.
The castle was used as a buffer zone to buy the people, women and children time to escape. Yang Ming did not expect that a castle in the valley alone could withstand the enemy's footsteps.
The mountain stronghold and the canyon are the top priority. If the enemy can attack here, it will mean that these two places will be hell on earth.
As mentioned before about the terrain of the mountain stronghold, if the enemy army cannot be disintegrated from within, or if a large amount of manpower and material resources are spent to encircle and suppress it, it will not work at all. Like Lin Bingyan, many masters in Baihu Village are prepared to go to great lengths, let alone ordinary soldiers.
The canyon is even more difficult for one man to open and no one can open it!
Not to mention that there is a Shenzong Forest behind where a large number of traps can be arranged.
As for whether Yangjiabao has left a way out, Yang Ming has already arranged the secret base in Houshan and the Zama River. However, due to time and food issues, the project has been temporarily delayed. . .
Therefore, the Yang Family Fort planned and built by Yang Ming does not require much investment, but the defense can have an immediate effect!
Many people don't pay attention to the Valley of the Gods because it is full of mountains and there are no resources that can be used.
As a time traveler, Yang Ming is worried about resources!
He plans to make wine, trade cattle and sheep with foreign tribes for processing, produce colored glaze, build Lu County into a trade center, and vigorously develop Lu County to drive the surrounding economy.
There are many medicinal materials in the north, and even more medicinal materials in Goguryeo. Yang Ming wants to use the high-dimensional attack to help Li Shimin pull out the two thorns in the north and empty their treasury to fill Yangjiapu.
"Xiao Cui, you worked so hard during the pregnancy and you're already tanned!"
When Er Gouzi heard Xiao Cui's voice, he jumped up and stepped forward to take a closer look at Xiao Cui, who was dripping with sweat.
This is also the secret to picking up girls that he learned from Yang Ming. If you want to get the person you like, you have to be extremely shameless!
Xiao Cui also felt that Er Gouzi had made great progress recently. The frequent material transfers and occasional sounds in the secret base in the back mountain meant that Er Gouzi was also completing the important tasks assigned by the young master.
"It's okay, tanning is healthy! Brother Ergou, you have to work hard too!"
Xiaocui smiled at Ergouzi and encouraged him. Yang Ming had mentioned to him that Ergouzi wanted to marry her. He kept Xiaocui here because he wanted them to get along with each other for a while to see if they had any feelings for each other. Feel.
When Xiaocui's eyes saw the token on the table, she was stunned!
"Third Young Master's token?!"
"Xiao Cui, does this token really belong to the Yang family?!"
"Yes! It's true, this token does belong to the third young master of the Yang family! Where did you find it?!"
Ergouzi was a little embarrassed, scratched his head and replied:
"There are eight of them in total. I don't know when they sneaked in. This time they accidentally entered the trap area of Shenzong Forest. Three of them died. The rest of them had their wounds temporarily bandaged and stayed in Baihu Village to recuperate."
Xiao Cui happily took Er Gouzi's hand and asked excitedly:
"Brother Ergou, what did those people say? Where is the Third Young Master?!"
Er Gouzi was so frightened by Xiao Cui's unusual behavior that he couldn't help but ask deep in his soul, could it be that the third young master is his love rival? !
