"Changing commanders on the battlefield has always been a taboo in the military. I thought that even if my father wanted to help, it would take more than ten days to get the transfer order at the earliest. Plus the time Zheng Fang and the others had to travel back and forth, it would take more than a month. I didn't expect it to be so fast.
."
Qinghuai said: "I guess the situation of the Tielin Army is not good. My father hopes that I can return to the army as soon as possible."
Qinghuai was also very surprised when he received the transfer order.
After questioning Zheng Fang carefully, I understood why Qing Guo Gong did this.
I also knew in my heart that Duke Qing must have paid a heavy price in order to obtain this transfer order.
Jin Feng didn't think much about it, because he heard Zhang Liang say that Qing Huai single-handedly led the Tie Lin Army, and it was also the foundation of Qing Huai's career.
He thought that Duke Qing didn't want Tielin's army to suffer heavy losses, so he was so easy to talk to.
Who knew that Zheng Fang had already shaken him out.
"When to set off?"
This is Jin Feng's biggest concern.
"The sooner the better." Qinghuai said: "Zhong Wu and the others are already packing their things. I came here to inform you to prepare and leave early tomorrow morning."
"What, leaving tomorrow?"
Jin Feng raised his eyebrows: "So urgent?"
Dakang's smelting technology is too primitive. Even the coal has only been transported for a few days, and the furnace is just makeshift. Jin Feng can make iron wire under such conditions. It is already very good. As for the output, it is really ridiculously low.
Until now, the accumulated iron wire has been far from achieving the expected results.
"Is there anything else you can do, sir?" Qinghuai asked.
"There are many things to do." Jin Feng said: "First of all, the iron wire is far from enough, and there is also a heavy crossbow. I haven't made one yet."
"This..." Qinghuai thought for a moment and said: "The Tielin Army has a special general camp. When we get to the army, I will ask them to assist you, sir. This will be faster."
After saying that, he did not forget to promise: "Sir, don't worry, the captain who will be the commander of the camp was promoted by me. I guarantee that they will never pass on your skills to others."
"How many people will be in the camp?"
Jin Feng's heart moved.
"About fifty people."
"Is there a stove?"
"There are three."
"That's fine."
Jin Feng nodded slightly.
If the three stoves and fifty helpers are used properly, the work efficiency will be much faster than that of him and the Zhang brothers.
As for the issue of stealing teachers that Qinghuai was worried about, Jin Feng didn't take it to heart at all.
What are the assembly lines used for in later generations?
Even if you spend ten years tightening screws in an electronics factory, you won't be able to build a TV.
Just like a spinning wheel, the most labor-intensive and unskilled things are handed over to the people who will make them. Each worker is only responsible for a part of the product, and he only needs to be responsible for making key components and final assembly.
This will not only improve efficiency, but also prevent leaks.
"Since there is no problem, sir, can we leave tomorrow?"
Qinghuai asked again.
"Do we have to leave tomorrow?"
Jin Feng asked.
"That's not true. There are two transfer orders. The other one has to be sent to the Tielin Army. It has to pass through two passes and has to be stamped by the commander of the Zhenxi Army. It will probably take a while.
I want to go there early to understand the situation on the battlefield and make plans early."
Qinghuai asked: "Sir, if you ask this, is there anything else?"
Jin Feng fell silent.
He is worried about the Maomaoshan bandits.
What if he leaves and the Maomaoshan bandits find out that he killed Baldhead and come to visit him?
But even if he is at home and bandits come to kill him, he will be in the same trouble.
Unless we kill this group of bandits, we can solve the problem once and for all.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng's eyes couldn't help but light up.
I definitely don’t have this ability, but Qinghuai can!
He is a Marquis, so maybe he can do it.
At the worst possible scenario, Guan Xiaorou and others can be arranged to go to Jinchuan County House, and then they will be brought back when he comes back.
Thinking of this, Jin Feng talked about the bald head.
"I've heard of the Maomao Mountain bandits. There are only a few dozen core members. However, the terrain of Maomao Mountain is complex and the bandits are familiar with the terrain. Once the officers and soldiers left, they hid in the mountains like mice. It was very troublesome to find them. Moreover, the bandits were suppressed by the county.
It’s about Linghe’s soldiers, so I haven’t bothered to pay attention to them.”
After listening to this, Qinghuai said confidently: "Since they are ignorant and provoked Sir, let's destroy them."
"Do you have any idea?" Jin Feng asked.
"There was no good way before, but when I met Mr., I found a way."
Qinghuai smiled slightly: "Sir, just don't worry, I will definitely deal with them before we leave."
After coming out of the blacksmith shop, Qinghuai called Zhang Liang and talked in Zhang Liang's ear for a while. Zhang Liang dropped what he was doing, turned around and ran away.
Qinghuai ordered the housekeeper again, and soon Zhong Wu entered the courtyard with five guards.
Everyone is holding a crossbow made by Jin Feng.
Jin Feng said that he would give each of them a crossbow in the future, so during the recent period, they borrowed the crossbows that Mancang and Jin Feng kept as spares, and took turns training in the back mountain.
Seeing that the guards who arrived later brought their weapons and led several horses and a carriage, Jin Feng realized something and stepped forward and asked:
"Master Hou, you are not going to take them to fight Maomao Mountain, are you?"
Qinghuai only brought six guards. Even if he and Zhang Liang were added, there were only eight people. How could they suppress the bandits?
"These few people are enough."
Qinghuai asked with a smile: "Sir, are you interested in going over and taking a look?"
His tone was relaxed, as if he wasn't going to kill bandits, but was hunting in the mountains.
"That's okay."
Jin Feng saw that Qinghuai didn't look like he was joking, so he nodded.
He also wanted to see what Qinghuai was going to do.
Go back to the blacksmith's shop and take out your crossbow and a bundle of arrow boxes.
This is what Jin Feng took the time to do recently, ensuring that each crossbow is equipped with two arrow boxes. If one arrow box is damaged in battle, the other one can hold it up.
After giving the arrow box to Zhong Wu and others, Qing Huai and his guards got on their horses, while Jin Feng, who could not ride a horse, got into the carriage.
Qinghuai didn't seem to be in a hurry. After leaving the village, he walked forward at a leisurely pace. He didn't arrive at Jinchuan County House until noon.
He didn't enter the city either, but continued walking north from outside the county city wall.
When they were still two or three miles away from Maomao Mountain, Qinghuai ordered the team to stop in the middle of a forest.
As soon as the team stopped, Zhang Liang, carrying a crossbow on his back, emerged from the grass with a dark man.
"Master Hou!"
As soon as the swarthy man saw Qinghuai, he cried and kowtowed.
Jin Feng saw that when he walked, his right leg was limping. He must have retired due to injury.
"Okay, get up."
Qinghuai stretched out his hand to pick up the man and asked, "Has the news spread?"
"The news has spread. I guess the second master of Maomao Mountain should have gotten wind of it by now."
The black man replied.
"Very good," Qinghuai nodded: "Zhong Wu, get ready, maybe the second master will come down the mountain later."
