Chapter 184 Time is running out
Beishan Fort.
"Oh oh oh!"
As the rooster croaks, almost every household lights a lamp and gets up. The women light a fire to cook and start their day.
Wu Nian slept until three o'clock in the morning.
No matter how kind Wei Changqing is to him, Haitian City is also very safe. But this golden nest and silver nest are not as good as his own doghouse.
Beishan Fort is better.
When Wu Nian opened his eyes, the person beside him was gone.
Wu Nian yawned and rubbed his eyes. His spirit and body were still separated. However, he alarmed Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong who were sitting in the outer room across the screen.
"I'm awake. Breakfast is still hot. You can eat it after you wash up." Wang Ruyan was a bit unsociable before the marriage, but after the marriage she was very gentle. After coming in, she said softly to Wu Nian.
"Take a shower first, it stinks so much." Xiao Hong was as lively as she pinched her nose and said.
Elder Wu's face turned red, he was sitting on a beautiful woman, Liu Xiahui's reasoning, he took it several times last night, and of course it smelled bad.
He simply lay on the bed and waited for the maid to come in with hot water. After it was ready, he opened the quilt and got into the tub naked. After bathing and changing clothes, and the fragrance was fragrant, he waited on Wang Ruyan and Xiaohong.
Next, we had a hearty breakfast.
It's just that the food took a little too long to heat up, so it wasn't very tasty.
But it doesn’t matter, as long as it’s nutritious.
After leaving the house, Wu Nian saw his nephew Zhang Zhen learning boxing skills under the guidance of a strong man. This was an old boxer who was hired through Long Qie's introduction.
This stupid nephew is not very good at studying, but he is very good at practicing martial arts.
Li Ya sat on the stool and watched Zhang Zhen practicing martial arts obediently. A little maid stood behind her.
Wu Nian pinched his chin, thoughtfully.
"Another pair of childhood sweethearts. My daughter may be raped by my nephew in the future."
Not far away, Mrs. Wu was drying clothes. She was an aunt, so she didn't have to do anything and just enjoyed a happy life. But she was too hard-working and would do whatever she could.
Mrs. Chen should lie down in the room and wait until noon before coming out to bask in the sun for a while.
She is a baby, and the weather is cold now, so she can't bear a little bit of wind and cold.
Wu Nian looked around but didn't see Liu Xiang. He turned to Wang Ruyan and asked, "Where is Xiang'er?"
"Madam went to look at the crops outside the castle." Wang Ruyan replied with a smile.
Rich families have their own rules. Although the maids and slaves call everyone "ma'am" on a daily basis, there is actually only one mistress in the Wu family.
Doctor Liu Xiang's identity is as stable as Mount Tai.
Wu Nian couldn't help but smile. This girl Liu Xiang was thinking about her own land, and would take her slaves out for a walk from time to time.
Now the Wu family has a big business, planting 3,500 acres of cotton.
Wu Nian took a deep breath and his eyes were extremely firm.
I can't just think about resting and sleeping like a beauty. Time is running out, it's time for me to take action.
For example, there are more than 10,000 acres of fields outside Beishan Fort, and my family grows 3,500 acres of cotton.
Military households planted seven to eight thousand acres of grain.
When did the Mongolian people go south? Was it before the autumn harvest? Or after the autumn harvest? Can the grain and cotton in the fields outside the city be harvested?
Wu Nian was not too worried about his cotton. After all, he had planned it carefully and planted cotton. This stuff cannot be eaten.
But I don't know about food.
The Mongolian people moved south on a large scale. If there was insufficient military food, they might cut off the food outside the city.
Without this batch of food, life for military households would be difficult.
Furthermore, war is approaching.
There are many things he needs to do.
Just when Wu Nian was about to take action, Zhang Jin came in from outside and reported: "Sir, Brother Long has been waiting outside for a long time."
Wu Nian sighed and probably guessed it.
There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever.
Long Qie has his own plan, and the two are allies, not masters and slaves.
Wu Nian took a deep breath, with a slight smile on his face, nodded to Zhang Jin, and walked out with his head held high.
In the outer courtyard, Long Qie stood with the flying monkey Chen Jiagui, looking at Wu Nian with a smile.
"Brother, troubled times are coming. I have to go back to Ding County and wait until the time comes to recruit troops. When we meet again, it will be time for us to kill the Meng Yuan people side by side."
Long Qie is a hero in the world, and he is very happy. He holds his hand and cuts the iron straight.
"Brother, I wish you and me good luck in martial arts." Wu Nian was also a generous person, and he immediately raised his hand and said.
The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
"Hahahahaha."
After laughing, Long Qie took Chen Jiagui, his brothers, and many large carriages with him to Ding County.
Troubled times are coming, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang happened countless years ago.
But that sentence.
"Princes, generals and prime ministers would rather have their own kind. But it has been passed down through the ages."
The Mongolian people's march south was both a danger and an opportunity. Wu Nian, Long Qie, Zhang Jin, Tieniu, Liu Wu and others were the generals in troubled times.
Wu Nian took Zhang Jin and personally escorted Long Qie's brother out of the city gate. After Long Qie's figure disappeared, he returned to the city.
"Go and find Tieniu, Liu Wu, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng, and Li Yong. You can come too. Go to the main room of my house to discuss it." Wu Nian thought for a moment, then turned around and said to Zhang Jin beside him.
The brief separation is just to accumulate strength to fight together in the future.
Long Qie has his own way, and he also has his own way.
"Yes." Zhang Jin cupped his hands and turned around to go down. Wu Nian quickly returned to his mansion, sat down on the Grand Master's chair early, and ordered the maid to make tea.
"grown ups."
Soon after, the backbone of Wu Nian's subordinates, the Five Tigers of Beishan Fort, walked in from outside. They bowed their hands to Wu Nian and sat down with Zhang Jin.
Wu Nian smiled and nodded, raised his eyes and asked the maid waiting at the door to bring tea. It was just ordinary mountain tea, but the taste was okay.
"Brothers, troubled times are coming. We have to make some preparations." Wu Nian picked up the tea cup, took a sip, put it down, raised his head and said seriously.
"Excuse me, sir." Everyone said in unison without any nonsense.
"The serious soldiers of Beishan Fort cannot be moved for the time being, and the main purpose is to strengthen training. The soldiers' daily meals are also kept up, and they are trained to be as strong as cattle. However, my family soldiers need to be expanded. Brother, I will recruit them from hundreds of households.
The soldiers were expanded to twenty teams, more than two hundred people."
When Wu Nian said this, he raised his head, looked at Zhang Jin, and said in a deep voice.
Before this, he was secretive and did not dare to expand his army on a large scale. Now he can no longer care about it and is expanding his army crazily.
"Yes." Zhang Jin cheered up and said yes.
"Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng. You two are responsible for counting the men between the ages of 18 and 40 among the military households in Beishan Fort, and organize them all into militiamen for a certain degree of military training. We do not require them to go out of the city to fight in the field.
, but you must be able to defend the city. You cannot be afraid of the Meng Yuan people."
Wu Nian raised his head and said to the two of them.
"Yes." Wang Gui responded with a serious face.
"Old Li, please work harder on logistics. Let the craftsmen make more armors, weapons, crossbows, and equip the army."
Wu Nian looked up at Li Yong again and said in a deep voice.
"Don't worry, sir. I will keep a close eye on all the craftsmen and urge them to work non-stop." Li Yong nodded heavily and said with clasped fists.
"Yes." Wu Nian hummed, and a light suddenly bloomed in his eyes. He suddenly stood up and said: "The Meng Yuan people are about to go south. In this time of national crisis, our Beishan Fort will not be immune. Men will fight, and women will assist.
Believe me. The fire of Yanhan will never be extinguished."
"The final winner must be us."
"yes."
Everyone's blood boiled when they heard this, and they all stood up and shouted in agreement.
