The First Joint Conference of Chinese Christians and Priests came to an end soon. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

And in this first meeting, Xiao Feng also officially established her position in the entire Red Phoenix Army, from the leader of the Chinese Sect, the commander of the Red Phoenix Army and even the head of the Knights of the Worried Girls, in addition to the so-called titles and lords given by the imperial court, she has firmly controlled the entire Luzhou in her own hands.

As the leader of the party, Xiao Feng already knew the changes, and began to be familiar with and master all this, and used this power in his hands to completely realize his wishes.

Burn the world and expel the Tatars!

This sentence is not a lie.

After returning to the tent, Xiao Feng felt a little tired and wanted to rest for a while.

But at this moment, Xue Leng quietly appeared and said, "Commander Xiao, the enemy army has moved. ”

"Abnormal movement?" Hearing this, Xiao Feng immediately woke up, she looked at Xue Leng in front of her, who had always maintained that kind of silence, and immediately asked, "Can you determine the composition of the other party's soldiers, the direction of attack, and the number?"

Since Wang Yunde, Tie Xin, and Wu Qing were dispatched, she let Zhao Chen be in charge of training in the army, and Na Tie Xin was in charge of the defense of Qinzhou City.

Now, after resting for more than a month, the monk Nahe Badu finally couldn't bear it anymore and sent a large army over again.

"An army of about 5,000 soldiers and horses is moving south along the Wuxiang River, and its target should be our Qinzhou City. The other army was the same, with about 5,000 soldiers and horses, but it turned east through Zuoquan County, probably planning to bypass Qinzhou City and attack Xiangyuan City directly. Xue Leng replied.

"Do you hit back and forth?" Xiao Feng's heart froze, and his eyelids immediately twitched.

Pin down the main army with one army, then let the other army go around and attack the rear. This was the usual Mongol tactic of outflanking and outflanking, so as to expose the enemy's flaws in the resistance.

At this time, the monk Nahe Badu has set this plan to divide the troops, which is clearly to bully her The Red Phoenix Army has a weak foundation and too few troops.

"I see, you can stand down. ”

Nodding, Xiao Feng was still very calm.

In this difficult time, as the commander of the Red Phoenix Army, she can't show half of her cowardice in her stunts.

At this time, she also asked her soldiers to prepare weapons, and build trenches and fortresses outside Qinzhou City, preparing for another Mongol siege. As for what form should be taken after that, it is only when the time comes.

........................

The morning light is gradually rising, and the starry night has passed.

The next day, the sky was clear again.

Sitting in the Luzhou City Government, Xiao Xing had already gotten up to work.

Unlike before, this time she did not stay in the government for long, but followed an old farmer to the countryside.

It's June and it's hot, and the hot wind is blowing on your face, making you feel very dry. And in that wheat field, waist-high ears of wheat began to turn yellow, and as the wind blew, Xiao Xing could even smell the fragrance of the wheat.

"It looks like the harvest needs to be harvested as soon as possible. ”

Standing beside Xiao Xing, an old farmer in his fifties raised his eyes and looked at the sky.

Xiao Xing was slightly surprised and asked, "Why?"

"Because it's going to rain. And this time it's raining, I'm afraid it's not small. With sorrow on his face, the old farmer looked at the sky with worry in his eyes.

"If it's raining, wouldn't this wheat need to be harvested in advance?" Xiao Xing asked.

The old farmer sighed and said, "That's right. It's just that in these days, if you want to harvest all this wheat, I'm afraid that there will be some trouble. ”

"Does it have to be within a few days? can't you delay a little longer?" Xiao Xing asked.

"No, it has to be within a few days. Otherwise, the wheat will be drenched, and once it is damp in the rain, then the wheat will begin to sprout, turn black, and may have borers inside. Such wheat is not to be eaten. The old farmer said, still with sorrow.

Agriculture has always depended on the weather for food, if there is a slight shortage of water, the dry season is a little longer, the rainy season is a little more, and even becomes a place where locusts pass through, then they will probably have to suffer within a year.

Fortunately, this year was lucky, that is, there was no dry season, and there was no waterlogging, so that the tens of thousands of acres of wheat in front of us could grow safely, and then it was only necessary to harvest it.

According to the fact that one acre of land can harvest about two to three stones of wheat, then the five continents of Luzhou, Mengzhou, Zezhou, Qinzhou, and Liaozhou under the jurisdiction of the Chifeng Army now have a total of about 230,000 mu of farmland, which is enough to produce nearly 500,000 stone of grain.

Although there is a lot of grain, according to the per capita ration of wheat, which is about three stones, these grains can probably support a total of 36,758 households in the entire area under its jurisdiction, with a total population of more than 200,000 people, to spend less than a year.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts, Xiao Fengke categorically couldn't make those people hungry like those Tartars in the past.

"There's no time to wait, so you should inform every farmer now. Anyone who can walk, give it to me. Make sure to harvest all the wheat within three days. Xiao Xing immediately replied.

There is a saying in agriculture: "Harvesting wheat is like fighting fire".

If one is careless and slows down, then the grain harvest will be reduced by at least one or two percent. One or two percent of the grain, that is tens of thousands of stones. At this time, the Red Phoenix Army could not afford such heavy losses.

This shows how important it is to harvest wheat.

"If you gather them together, you can. It's just the tools and stuff, what should I do?" asked the old farmer.

Xiao Xing waved her hand and let a carriage next to her come over, she pointed to the new cluster of wheat samarium inside, and said, "These are okay. I have already forged the wheat samarium in advance in the iron-smelting station. In addition, thousands of wheat baskets and wheat cages have been prepared, which is enough to ensure that every farmer has tools to use. And you tell them that they only need to come and help with the harvest, and that the farming tools can be taken home. ”

The tone was generous, Xiao Xing naturally knew that if he wanted to make these farmers move, it would not work without giving some benefits.

And now the iron smelting plant is on the right track, and it can produce ten tons of iron in one day. In addition to the experimental artillery, there was a surplus of steel. It was used to forge farming tools, which the farmers could take back to reclaim the farmland and make more food.

It is precisely because of this that those Tartars took a fancy to this time and wanted to break into this Luzhou and destroy the farmland here. Even though they couldn't defeat the Red Phoenix Army, if they broke into Luzhou, even a small cavalry force of less than 100 people would be enough to deal a heavy blow to the foundation of the entire Red Phoenix Army, and its vitality would be greatly damaged, and there would be no room for further struggle.

At that time, perhaps the Red Phoenix Army, like the usual peasant rebels, would be forced to fight elsewhere, and in the continuous encirclement and suppression, it would completely lose its combat effectiveness.

Xiao Feng and Xiao Xing understand this, and the Mongolian Tatars also understand this.

That's why they started fighting at this time, just for less than three days.

Three days will decide everything in the future. Xiao Feng was very clear about the importance of this battle, and Xiao Xing also felt the same way, so as to finish harvesting the wheat in front of him as soon as possible.

"That's good. ”

Not daring to slack off, the old farmer immediately agreed, and was ready to go back and mobilize all his connections to harvest the wheat.

"Ma Yundong. Your cavalry is quick on your feet, and immediately relay the news to the other states, so that they can also start harvesting the wheat. Remember, if anyone can't complete the task, just cut off their heads! I don't believe that those people, under the deterrence of the saber, still dare to move?" Xiao Xing also summoned Ma Yundong and asked him to send out the cavalry under his command and start to pass on the news of this place.

For those bureaucrats left over from the old government, Xiao Xing has no mercy at all.

After experiencing the massacre in Luzhou City, she already knew the habits of these bureaucrats, who were to disobey and deceive, which was simply carved into the bones.

For this reason, she didn't have any mercy at all, and directly asked Ma Yundong to subordinate the next soldier as a supervisor, and if anyone didn't want to, she would be cut down directly. Anyway, now in this Luzhou territory, the power of the Red Phoenix Army is in full swing, and it is getting stronger and stronger with time, if even these local heroes can't be suppressed, then what are you playing to dominate the world?

After receiving the order, tens of thousands of people in the five states came out together, and these farmers held the newly made wheat samarium of the iron smelting institute, and the old men and ignorant children also came to the field, carrying the wheat cage and the wheat sheat, and loading the harvested wheat into it, and carrying it home.

On the old earth, such a hot scene is the first time! (To be continued.) )
