    ,

    There is no military plan, it is set in stone!

    After arriving in Fenyi County, Zhao Han obtained more detailed information.

    The core elite of Zhifu Tian Younian comes from the official kiln craftsmen of Binjiang Town.  Now that the Chinese New Year is about to come, the soldiers must go home, and they can get twice the result with half the effort if they go straight there.

    When Zhu Yuanzhang built Nanjing City, the inner layer of city bricks was white, all produced in Binjiang Town.

    These white city bricks are all fired from kaolin, also known as "white mud bricks" and "white tiles", which are stronger than ordinary blue city bricks.  Yuan Zhou, who supervised the manufacture of this brick, judged Sui Yun, and was greatly appreciated by Zhu Yuanzhang. He was promoted from the sixth rank to the inspector of the third rank.

    There is an official kiln in Binjiang Town, which was messed up by the officials. A few years ago, the kiln workers made trouble, and the magistrate Tian Younian personally recruited and settled it.

    He recruited five hundred kiln workers as soldiers, wiped out the bandits in Wugong Mountain, and went to wipe out the rebels in Pingxiang County.  Hearing that there were giant bandits in Luling County in the south, he immediately expanded the army of the township warriors, and now there are 3,000 troops.

    Those five hundred kiln workers are elite soldiers who have been trained for two years!

    On the night when he saw Song Yingxing, Zhao Han led his troops to set off and handed over the task of defending the city to Fei Ruhe.

    ?Because there was too much movement of the conscripted ships, Zhao Han led his troops across the Wannian Bridge and marched along the south bank of the Yuan River at night.  After rushing forty miles overnight, they arrived at Binjiang Town in the early morning and launched an attack without rest.

    The residents of the town didn't react, and they saw three thousand soldiers passing through the town, rushing to the kiln workers' settlement west of the town.

    "Surrender without killing!"

    Every ten people formed a small team, scattered and rushed into various houses, and then escorted the kiln worker's family out

    Xiong Yaozu's ancestors have been kiln workers for generations, and their household registration belongs to the craftsman's registration.  The official kilns have long since failed, and they all work for private kilns for a living. Although life is hard, they can still live on.

    Just five years ago, the prefect at that time had a sudden convulsion and said that he wanted to build an additional circle of the prefecture.

    The kiln-burning households like Xiong Yao were conscripted to serve, and they brought their own dry food to the government to burn city bricks.

    According to the rules, although servants do not receive wages, the government must distribute rations.  The rations were also deducted by the officials, and the kiln workers couldn't survive, so they simply killed the officials (kiln supervisors) and rebelled.

    After going on like this for half a year, the magistrate was promoted with money, and the new magistrate Tian Younian took office.

    For Tian Zhifu, Xiong Yao admired him very much, he dared to come to surrender alone, and in the end he only killed two leading rebels.

    Xiong Yao was recruited by the magistrate as a villager, and he was paid two buckets of food every month.  Moreover, he exercises every five days. He is very close to Fucheng. Taking into account the round-trip time, he can work on his own for three days to make money.

    The prefect of Tian is very good at training soldiers. He said that the monthly salary is two dollars, and he has never deducted it.  Going to Pingxiang County to suppress bandits, there is still money to be paid, Xiong Yao even hopes to fight every day.

    This year's life is much easier, and the family has bought new year's goods.

    On the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiong Yao worked hard for a year and wanted to sleep in this year.

    Suddenly, he heard a noise from outside, and before he could put on his clothes, a group of soldiers rushed in.

    "Surrender without killing!"

    His wife, children, and children were all arrested. Xiong Yao just put on his pants, and he didn't dare to resist at all, considering the lives of the whole family.

    Taken to the open space outside to gather, Xiong Yao found that many people had been arrested, women, children and old people stood together, while young and strong were asked to stand on the other side.

    what's the situation?

    No one knows what's going on, they're all waiting for the Chinese New Year, so it's just so confused.

    "Soldiers stand up, don't force me to interrogate!"

    Xiong Yao looked around and saw that everyone was hesitating, and then looked at his wife and children, who were being pointed at with a spear.

    In desperation, someone stepped forward, and Xiong Yao followed suit.

    Zhao Han said: "Count the number of people."

    The flag commander quickly counted and quickly reported: "General town, a total of 436 people!"

    There must be more than that. Tian Younian recruited kiln workers as soldiers. At the beginning, he only recruited 500 people, and later he recruited more than 300 people.

    After some interrogation, Gao Gao figured out that some people left their wives and children and ran away, while others lived farther away.

    Zhao Han quickly ordered the arrest of people, and in another settlement where kiln workers lived, more than a hundred households were arrested one after another, many of them were ordinary kiln workers.

    Finally, Zhao Han asked: "Who has practiced bowing? Raise your hand."

    "I have practiced." Xiong Yao raised his hand.

    At this moment, a small boat docked in Binjiang Town.

    After the officer got off the boat, he ran wildly and shouted: "The Fu Zun gathers the troops, the Fu Zun gathers the troops. Be sure to celebrate the New Year!!

    "General, Yuegong Ridge is in front of you, and the magistrate's training ground is located at the foot of the mountain." Xiong Yao said, pointing to the front.

    Traveling day and night all the way, and stop and go, when Zhao Han arrived at the place where the Tibetan soldiers were, it was only the afternoon of the second day of the Lunar New Year, and the prefect of Tian had not yet finished gathering troops.

    ?Send a sentry to go down the mountain pretending to be a woodcutter, go out of the city to sell firewood and come back.

    Zhao Han got preliminary information about the military. There are thousands of defenders in Yuanzhou Fucheng, but the school grounds and barracks at the foot of Yuegong Ridge are empty, and Tian Younian's soldiers all live in the city.

    Zhao Han could only stay in the mountains to rest, and make torches for night raids by the way.

    The soldiers took off their leggings and put them in their arms to dry them.  Before the action, he helped the wooden sticks to make torches, and when he left Binjiang Town, he brought a lot of vegetable oil, which was also used to make kindling.

    On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the spies came back to report.

    There are many ships outside the Fucheng, which are loading food, which is the military rations sent by the prefect of Tian.

    Judging from the number of ships, it is definitely not enough for 3,000 soldiers to take the ship.  Most of the supplies were carried by water, and the soldiers followed along the river. Even if they were ambushed, the grain transport ships could escape immediately.

    Moreover, the barracks at the foot of Yuegong Ridge have begun to house soldiers.

    On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the spies returned again.

    The number of soldiers in the barracks was far more than three thousand, maybe five or six thousand, and I don't know where the magistrate recruited so many brave men.

    Zhao Han now has two choices, one is to set up an ambush halfway by the river, and the other is to directly attack his barracks at night.
