As for how to rely on buildings to build fortifications, anyone who has served in the Haihan Army can be regarded as a semi-expert outside.
Relevant content is set as one of the compulsory courses in the recruit training program. Almost every Haihan soldier will never forget the days when he sweated like rain in the recruit camp digging trenches, building parapets, repairing barricades, and making refusal horses. They haven't experienced defensive battles since then, but they won't forget these skills that have been deeply rooted in their bones.
Almost half of Jindun's people in Mali had served in the Haihan Army, and compared to the combat environments they had encountered in the past, the conditions in Daijiazhuang were already as good as they could be.
Not only are there delicious food and drinks available here, there is enough labor to be dispatched at any time, there are tools and materials needed to build a defense system, and there are even detailed and accurate topographical maps for reference. Everyone is in a relatively safe environment Slowly planning and improving Zhuangzi's outer defense line, it can be said that it is difficult to have a better preparation environment than this.
As the person in charge of the militia's armed forces and defense facilities in Daijiazhuang, Dai Yingfan was also invited to participate in the Golden Shield's war preparation meeting as an observer, so as to coordinate and communicate the opinions and needs of both parties.
Because Dai Yingfan had to reconfirm the selection of personnel to be sent to Zhoushan for training, he inevitably delayed for some time, and when he rushed over, the training had already started.But he happened to skip the part where Yuan Tao introduced the situation of Daijiazhuang, just in time for the part where everyone discussed how to improve the defense structure.He sat by and listened quietly for a while, and couldn't help but secretly surprised at the professionalism of Jin Dun and the others.
Dai Yingfan originally thought that the Golden Shield team was hired because they had combat experience that ordinary people lacked, and they could be on the front line to fight with opponents when necessary, but he really didn't expect that the professional level of these people was far more than Here, although he is new here, he already has a deep understanding of how to improve Daijiazhuang's defense measures, and all of them are aimed at the loopholes in the existing defense measures.
He is also a person who has eaten military rations, and he naturally understands that these opinions are not empty words, but can actually improve the defense of Daijiazhuang.Moreover, these measures are not complicated, and it is not difficult to implement them. It just requires some manpower to work, but this is a trivial matter for Dai Jiazhuang. After the meeting, people can be summoned to start working immediately.
"Boss Dai, what do you think of these suggestions from the brothers? Can it be implemented in Daijiazhuang?"
Yuan Tao's question awakened Dai Yingfan from his contemplation. He forced a smile and replied, "I think everyone's opinions are very wise, and they should be implemented as soon as possible. However, the manpower and materials required for preparations may still be too much." It will take a while."
Dai Yingfan originally wanted to agree, but suddenly remembered that Dai Yingda had told him before that he should remember not to agree to Jindun's request related to the adjustment of defense immediately, but to delay it appropriately to leave room for bargaining. Take whatever you want in Daijiazhuang.So he swallowed back the words that came to his lips, and slowed down the rhythm first according to the strategy that Dai Yingda instructed.
Yuan Tao didn't immediately realize the mystery in Dai Yingfan's words, he only thought that he might need to apply to Dai Yingda for permission, and then allocate resources to implement these reform measures, and he didn't urge Dai Yingfan any more.
By the time Yuan Tao's battle preparation meeting was in full swing, it was already dinner time, and the rest was just personnel assignments and other chores. After leaving, he went straight to Dai Yingda's house and told him what he had communicated with Yuan Tao.
"According to your opinion, the strength of the Jindun group is actually stronger than the local guards?" After hearing the statement, Dai Yingda couldn't help being a little surprised by Dai Yingfan's judgment.
Dai Yingfan said solemnly: "Maybe it's more than a little stronger...Anyway, the guard I stayed in back then should not be as powerful as them."
Dai Yingfan came out from Jindun's station, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Yuan Tao's gang was stronger than expected. He even wondered if the Haihan people wanted Jindun to recite his name, and the people actually sent here were actually from Active-duty soldiers in the Haihan Army.This seems to perfectly explain why these members have such a high military quality even though they are the Golden Shield Escort of a private organization.
Dai Yingfan expressed his doubts. After hearing this, Dai Yingda was also a little stunned, but immediately shook his head and said: "If they really want to do this, why bother to push back on the old horse, saying that they will never send troops to Yangzhou."
Dai Yingfan said: "The Haihan people are worried that sending troops to Yangzhou will offend our country, so they shirk Lao Ma's lobbying, but if they let the soldiers change their identities, it may save a lot of unnecessary trouble. They don't want to tell us the truth , perhaps also worried about leaking the wind."
Dai Yingda paced back and forth, thought for a moment, then raised his head and said to Dai Yingfan: "Whether they really sent soldiers over or not, we can only pretend that we don't know anything. Even if you find something, you don't need to ask them for proof, lest you The Haihan people felt that there might be problems in the cooperation, so they retreated halfway and evacuated the people, then we would be left alone."
After Dai Yingfan responded, Dai Yingda continued: "To be honest, it might be better for us if the Haihan people are really soldiers. But this possibility can only be thought about, not for outsiders."
Dai Yingda's words can only be said to his own people. If it is heard through the wall, it will be a major event that Hui nationality salt merchants colluded with foreign troops to secretly invade Ming Dynasty. If it is more serious, it will be treason.
Of course, Dai Yingfan also understood the seriousness of the matter, and nodded to express that he would be more careful, and would not let his subordinates discuss this matter at will, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.
For Hui nationality salt merchants, the urgency of seeking self-protection has far outweighed the risk of luring wolves into the house. Even if Haihan really arranged for soldiers to come to carry out this special mission, the most sensible choice for Dai Yingda and others is to pretend to be deaf. Pretend to be dumb and pretend not to know.
Ma Zhengping specifically stated in the news sent back from Zhoushan that in order to destroy the hostile forces that threatened their own safety, the Haihan people did not hesitate to send troops across the sea to conquer Hirado, Japan. The image in the minds of the Han people can also be imagined, so Dai Yingda is not worried that Haihan will have reservations about dealing with the Shanxi salt merchants, but is a little afraid that the Yangzhou government will forcefully intervene in the process and ruin his good deeds .
"Then the suggestion made by the Golden Shield?"
"If you think it's reasonable, you can just do what they want later on. You are an expert in this area. You can arrange any resources you need." Dai Yingda has no objection to the arrangement of strengthening the defense of Daijiazhuang. The people from Haihan came to help because they valued the other party's professional ability, not to mention Dai Yingfan supervised the implementation, so he was not worried about any mistakes in the process.
After seeing off Dai Yingfan, Dai Yingda returned to the study to meet a visitor who had been waiting for a long time.
"Chengye, sorry for your long wait!" Dai Yingda waved his hands to greet the visitor when he saw the visitor.
The visitor is also one of the patriarchs of the "Seven Surnames", Yang Chengye.This young patriarch, who was not well received in the circle of Huizhou salt merchants before, has been treated much better in recent months and has become Dai Yingda's guest.
The reason for this change is also very simple. After the Haihan people took action in Yangzhou last year, the armed forces under the command of the Shanxi salt merchants suffered heavy losses, and Lu Kangtai, the Shanshan salt merchant who was in charge of commanding the battle at the time, had to bear corresponding responsibilities. It disappeared from the market for a long time.The Shanshan salt merchants didn't think that the defeat was because the Haihan people were unstoppable, but felt that someone had betrayed the Haihan people with information about the Musketeers.
Yang Chengye, who had a close personal relationship with Lu Kangtai but belonged to the camp of Hui nationality salt merchants, naturally quickly became the first choice of the other party's suspicion.
Yang Chengye didn't know whether Lu Kangtai had shifted the responsibility for the fiasco to him, because he also lost contact with Lu Kangtai.But after narrowly escaping two consecutive assassinations, he knew that he had to try to protect himself, or he would die sooner or later at the hands of assassins who came to him for bounty on the black market.
On the black market, Yang Chengye's life started with 100 taels of gold. With the assassins dying one after another, the price has soared all the way, and it has increased tenfold in just half a month. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is undoubtedly a treasure. The pen is astronomical.As for who the behind-the-scenes mastermind who can afford so much bounty is, there is basically no suspense at all.
Yang Chengye's character is inherently indifferent to the world, and he has always been unwilling to take the initiative to participate in the struggle between the two factions of salt merchants, and his relationship with Lu Kangtai has also been strongly opposed by other members of the Seven Great Surnames for a long time.
But not arguing doesn't mean you can stay out of the matter. Fighting and fighting, he was finally involved, and the trouble is not the level of getting his shoes wet by the water. Stepping into the muddy water will directly drown his neck people.
Now that the catastrophe is imminent, Yang Chengye knows that his means are limited. If he does not rely on the support and protection of the Huizhou salt merchant group behind him, then he will have a family fortune of ten thousand, no matter how Buddhist, he will not be able to enjoy anything after death.Immediately, he took the initiative to ask Dai Yingda to express his remorse for all the past, and he will unswervingly stand by his people in the future.
Verbal promises are of course far from enough. To convince fellow salt merchants of their sincerity, the best way is of course to prove it with money.
Yang Chengye donated 1000 taels of gold in the name of the Yang family to provide the militia armed forces jointly formed by the seven major surnames as funds for the military campaign against the Shanxi salt merchants.This amount of money was exactly equal to the amount of bounty offered by his opponents on the black market. Yang Chengye also used this to show his determination. After all, after donating this money, it would be impossible to continue his neutral person setting. His hatred will only intensify and never end.Even if Lu Kangtai stepped forward again, it would not be able to resolve this hatred.
But the problem is that the reward offered by the enemy is likely to be a member of the Shanshan Salt Merchants Co., Ltd., and one family can just pay a share, but he is operating independently, cutting the flesh and donating this large sum of money. No matter how rich Yang Chengye is , can not help but very painful.
But fortunately, this sincere donation has also been understood and recognized by the seven major surnames. Of course, Dai Yingda and others cannot just sit back and watch Yang Chengye, who has just spent a large sum of money, be killed by his opponents, even if they provide him with the strictest guards measure.
Dai Yingda even sent half of his dead men to Yang Chengye to watch over him twelve hours a day, and he didn't even dare to be careless when he took a bath to sleep.
But even so, the Shanshanan salt merchants gave too much money, and some desperadoes would still take risks for the almost astronomical wealth.After defeating several assassinations, Dai Yingda simply let Yang Chengye and his family move to Daijiazhuang to settle down.This Dai family village is almost full of core members of the Dai family, and the risk is obviously much lower than that of Yang Chengye's family, which has been infiltrated into a honeycomb by assassins.
When things got to this point, Yang Chengye also understood that if he wanted to return to his previous life, it would be very difficult. If he wanted to regain his freedom, he could only hope that his own camp could drive the enemy out of Yangzhou, but this was not the case. An easy goal.
The two factions of salt merchants have been fighting in Yangzhou for several generations, and neither of them has been able to completely gain the upper hand. Although most of the advantages of the Shanxi-Shanxi salt merchants have been wiped out due to Haihan's accidental intervention, it will be difficult to uproot them. Easier said than done.
Yang Chengye will not be so arrogant that he thinks that he donated 1000 taels of gold, which is enough to train a strong army to beat the opponent to pieces. When he had a good relationship with Lu Kangtai in the past, he also heard the other party comment that the two camps are different. disparity in force.Lu Kangtai said very bluntly at the time that if he hadn't been concerned about Wang Fa, his musketeer team would attack with all its strength and wipe out all the Huizhou salt merchants in Yangzhou Prefecture within ten days.
Yang Chengye knew that although Lu Kangtai was arrogant, he would not brag about it. If he dared to say this, he must have a more accurate understanding of the strength comparison between the two sides.Although Lu Kangtai's firearms team was said to have been wiped out overnight by the Haihan people, Yang Chengye felt that the Shanxi salt merchants were neither short of money nor people, and a second firearms team would definitely appear in time.And this speculation became a reality within a few months.
Therefore, Yang Chengye agreed with both hands and feet to ask Haihan for help.The reason is also very simple. The Huizhou salt merchants have no other way to turn the tables. If they procrastinate, it will only become more and more unfavorable to their side. Except for Haihan, no one can provide them with enough assistance.
The Haihan people are a group of businessmen, their intentions are very clear, and the Anhui salt merchants can also assist them to achieve their goals. At worst, the salt industry market in Yangzhou will be distributed to the Haihan people in the future, but that is better than being held by Shanshan. It would be far better for the salt merchants to be completely driven out of this market.
