Chapter 1319
Ying did not close his eyes for three consecutive days.
However, he is physically strong and energetic, which is not a big deal.
But Zhou Li and the others, as subordinates, have no reason to stand by.
So starting from the fourth day, Ying Yi was responsible for taking the grain in the evening, but after transporting to Xiaowangzhuang, and then transporting to Bibo Valley, Zhou Li and the others took turns.
As time goes by, Ying Yi also counts every day. Eight Nine Heavens have passed since Yexian's retreat began. He didn't know what happened to Yuan Tong. Two million silver tael, I am not afraid that the thief will not be tempted, but I am afraid that time is still a bit urgent.
This is true for the thief, and it is true for Ying Yi herself.
Liu thief is a bloated monster, several hundred thousand in Kaifeng. With the patience of a thief, the chaos can be imagined. The more so, the more unpredictable the reaction of the robber. Maybe it will immediately send a soldier and horse to seize the army's salary, but it may also be difficult to make the trip.
But Ying Yi tends to the previous guess.
On Ying Yi's side, three thousand soldiers and horses have just been recruited, and the training for a few days is still too shallow. To be on the battlefield, it is not presentable.
In his heart, there is always an urgency.
That night, Ying Yi led the team to continue to Ye County to fetch supplies. Halfway through the journey, Zhang Shi received a report from Zhang Shi that a soldier and horse had been stationed near Ye County!
Ying Yi lifted up and hurriedly asked Zhang Shi: "Where is it exactly? How many people are there?"
"Not far from the south of the county seat, camped in Yishu. The specifics are How many people are not clear, but the subordinates judged based on the traces on the road that there should be more than 10,000 people." Zhang Shi said seriously.
"More than ten thousand people..."
Ying Yi took a deep breath: "It's a thief from Kaifeng!"
Zhang Shidao: "My lord is wise. That army really doesn't look like an official army. The traces on the road point straight to the north."
"Very good." Ying Yi nodded: "It seems that the transportation of food tonight can't be done. Split half of the manpower, and I will return to Xiaowangzhuang with the escort carriage. Leave half for you. Remember, keep a close watch on the movement of this tribe of thieves and horses. I want to know where they are at any time."
" Yes!"
On the way back halfway, Ying Yi had a lot of thoughts. While being relaxed, I also be eager to have a try, but I also feel a headache.
relaxed, because Yuan Tong got things done. be eager to have a try because Ying Yi can't wait to crush the thief. As for the headaches, it was because the three thousand soldiers and horses under his command were all rookies and had not been trained yet.
Back to Xiaowangzhuang, Zhou Li and the others were called by Ying Yi. When they saw Ying Yi returning at this time, they knew something must have happened.
Sure enough, Ying Yi said: "No detectives are received at night, there is a group of gangsters stationed in the south of the county seat, more than 10,000 people. The fetching of food can only be temporarily suspended."
Not receiving at night is another name for scouts.
"I let Zhang Shi be monitored at any time, and I must be prepared here to avoid all possible accidents." Ying Yi warned repeatedly: "Once Xiaowangzhuang is found by the thief, he will escape into the mountains. No face to face with the thief. Now that we have no weapons and armor, we can't fight a war."
Zhou Li and Zhu Bingkun couldn't help being simultaneously nodded, and were deeply convinced.
Ying Yi said: "I will go back to the mountain afterwards to see the specific situation in the mountain. Here you two are good to watch, don't be careless."
He said: "Zhang Shi will be at any time Come report, if there is something important, send someone into the mountain to find me."
"Yes! My lord."
Ying Yi immediately went into the mountain and headed for Bibo Valley. .
It was midnight, and there was silence in the blue wave valley. I haven't seen it for a few days, and the appearance here has changed drastically. Under the dim moonlight, the prototypes of several workshops have been uprooted in the valley. Bibogu was temporarily used as an industrial base by Ying Yi, and the importance here is self-evident. But now there is no protection in this place.
This is also no way.
Ying Yi had a plan early on. When the soldiers and horses are trained to a certain level, they will send a hundred households to guard here.
There is a sequence for the construction of Bibogu. Build workshops first, then residential areas. Because the demand for workshops is even more urgent. So I lived in the primitive wooden shed. And Erniu and the others still live in the cave.
Ying Yi did not disturb anyone, and went straight to the cave where Erniu lived.
Wake him up.
It scared Er Niu a big jump. After seeing Ying Yi, he was relaxed.
Ying Yi didn't talk to him, and immediately asked about Bibogu's situation.
Due to munitions issues, the construction of Jinzihao Workshop and Huozihao Workshop was placed first. According to estimates, it will take up to seven or eight days before these two workshops can be initially put into use. The preparation of a minimum of 3,000 tips will take about ten days. In other words, it takes seventeen or eight days to get the tip of the gun.
As for the finished long spear, I am afraid it will take more than a few days.
This is inseparable from Ying Yi's calculations.
Bibogu is now on the right track. On the third day after Ying Yi came out of the mountain, the Xiucai sent three officials to take charge of entering the accounts of Bibogu’s various expenditures. Then one after another, within two or three days, all the family members of the craftsmen were also moved here.
The four sister-in-law also shouldered the logistical burden. She recruited ten healthy women from the craftsmen’s families to be responsible for the craftsmen’s usual diet.
Ying Yi was very satisfied with this, and asked Erniu: "What about opening the way?"
Erniu said: "I haven't done it yet. Xiucai said that people are all together. I have no tools, but I have to wait for the tools to be produced in the workshop."
Ying Yi knew what she was doing, so she didn’t pass Erniu. She went to see a woman surnamed Yuan who was imprisoned in a cave and saw her. After eating well and sleeping well, he left Bibo Valley with confidence and headed for Crescent Valley.
When Xiucai was sleeping soundly, she was awakened by Ying Yi and she was shocked.
After that, Ying Yi talked about the arrival of the Liu thief from Kaifeng in Yexian County, and Xiucai's sleepiness woke up all at once.
"The thief from Kaifeng...it seems that Yexian is more chaotic." Xiucai's eyes are bright Blink: "This muddy water is the best opportunity for adults. I took a closer look. Hit, with the courage of an adult, you will surely win a big victory."
Ying Yi shook the head: "It's not that easy. Three thousand soldiers and horses have just started training, and they can’t get on the battlefield until they wait for the fire. . Otherwise, it’s death. Not to mention the lack of weapons and armor, and it’s impossible to fight. I just hope that they will entangle for a longer time. If I give me an extra month, I will be more confident."
The xiucai laughed: "Wars have always been over in three or two days. Don't worry, adults, before the war, the two sides also tried their best."
Ying Yi slightly nodded: "I think so too. , It’s just that the battlefield is changing rapidly and no one knows for sure. You have to speed up, get the gun barrels ready, wait for the gun head to come out, and give me the finished product in three or two days."
"My lord Don't worry." The Xiucai confidently said: "The right gun barrel, only the past few days, has been prepared a lot. Once the gun head comes out, it will be completed soon."
Said: "Because adults are generous and paid. Commoners are very enthusiastic. With the guidance of artisans, the selection and preparation are very smooth."
Speaking, he seemed to remember something, and suddenly said: "Yes Yes, my lord, one thing, if the adult doesn’t come today, the subordinates will also go to Xiaowangzhuang tomorrow."
"oh?" Ying Yi said: "What's the matter?"
