    Several people stood separately, and Huang Mingyuan gave the order.

    "General Hou Mochen, you are temporarily assuming the post of Sima. I wonder if you can repair all the gaps and omissions in the walls of Datong City within one and a half months."

    "This" Hou Mo and Chen Xi were a little embarrassed. It was winter and it was not the threshing period for the Turks at all. There was no need to be so nervous.  Besides, it¡¯s freezing cold at this time of year, so it¡¯s very difficult to repair the city wall.

    "General Hou Mochen, you must find a way to complete the repair work of the city wall within one and a half months. If you have any difficulties, you can raise them, but I hope to see the newly repaired city wall in half a month."

    "General, first of all, we lack manpower, new glutinous rice has not been distributed, and it is too cold to get loess" Although Hou Mo and Chen Xi were afraid that his request would offend Huang Mingyuan  He was dissatisfied, but he didn't dare to blindly pat his chest and guarantee that after all, Huang Mingyuan really dared to chop off his head if he couldn't complete the task, so he simply said bluntly.

    Huang Mingyuan waved his hand: "Okay, so you mean that as long as the manpower and material resources can meet the requirements, you can complete the task, right?"

    Looking at Huang Mingyuan¡¯s attitude, Hou Mo and Chen Xi didn¡¯t dare to shirk it.

    "No!"

    "Okay, I'll make the decision. All the laborers who transported supplies yesterday will be handed over to you. All the other non-artisan laborers and households in the city, regardless of gender, will also be handed over to you. We will work overnight. This time I brought them from Jiuyuan.  A batch of new glutinous rice and five hundred kilograms of iron. You organize craftsmen to make them into shovels and shovels overnight. At the same time, I also asked several brick-burners from Jiuyuan to give them to you. Tell me anything you need.  But the wall must be repaired within a month and a half.¡±

    "You also need to add a defensive archery tower at each of the four corners of the city wall, and add a diagonal wall to connect the two walls to form a new road."

    Hou Mochen was shocked. If the city wall was built like this, wouldn't the city become an octagon?  How much will the construction volume increase to?

    He didn't know that Huang Mingyuan was also upset about this. If there was enough time, he could build another bastion or circular city wall outside the outer city, and at the same time build the wall into a reverse slope, and then build a few more at the city gate.  Wengcheng, then the defense of the entire city will be greatly enhanced. Now the city wall cannot be moved at all in a month and a half. The only way is to reduce the distance between the two city walls and enhance the support effect.

    Hou Mo and Chen Xi had no choice. Huang Mingyuan had already said this, and he had no choice but to rush forward even if he didn't use his head.

    Huang Mingyuan, however, had no time to care about Hou Mo Chen Xi's thoughts, and continued to arrange: "The cavalry will destroy all the trees within a fifty-mile radius around Datong City, and send all the stones weighing more than ten kilograms to the city."

    Zheng Yanqing and Huang Mingzhen were also puzzled, but they did not hesitate and answered in unison: "No!"

    "The infantry will dig three large trenches two feet and a half wide and one foot deep outside Datong City. They will also dig a horse trap inside the gate of the outer city and temporarily cover it with wooden boards."

    Chen Yi and Yan Xiaowu did not dare to say anything else and said bluntly: "No!"

    Seeing this, Wang Xin finally understood that this was going to be a war, and he couldn't help but feel nervous.

    "General, are the Turks coming to invade the border? It has just entered the first month, and the soldiers are still celebrating the festival. It is freezing and snowy. There has never been anything like this."

    "Don't worry, Wang Changshi, there are no Turkic invaders, we just need to be prepared."

    Wang Xin didn¡¯t believe it. Who would do such a big thing in the winter? Otherwise, the court would investigate him.  However, Datong City is on the front line, and any news is transmitted from Datong City to the mainland. Wang Xin has indeed not received any news recently.  It's just that for this new general who is a bit stunned, it seems that something is going to happen.

    "Wang Changshi, you'd better close all the grass markets outside the city gate in the near future, and at the same time start making catapults on a large scale in the city."

    Wang Xin was really shocked this time. Closing the grass market would involve too much. Do you know how many people's interests are involved? What if it might cause a war between the two countries?

    "General, are you a little hasty? The grass market involves too much, and it will be troublesome if it causes misunderstandings between both parties."

    "Wang Changshi, don't worry, we are not closing the grass market, we are just making temporary rectifications. Once the rectification is completed, we will open it immediately."

    "But¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤"

    "Wang Changshi, please rest assured. I have reported this matter to the military commander. I will bear all the responsibilities."

    Seeing that Huang Mingyuan was so determined, Wang Xin was not a tough person at first, so he had no choice but to acquiesce to Huang Mingyuan's order.  It's just a large-scale construction of catapults. Is this going to send troops to the Turks?

    ? ?Huang Mingyuan issued certain orders one by one. Although most people did not understand them, thinking about Li Jue's head that was still hanging on the flagpole at the entrance of the town house, everyone shuddered and could only follow the orders.  Huang Mingyuan himself knew that his overbearing behavior made everyone dissatisfied, but he couldn't explain it to everyone. Should he tell them that he had no idea what he was doing?

    As everyone began to get busy, the city in the ice and snow also began to heat up. Soldiers, servants, and craftsmen throughout the city worked together to turn the small Datong City into a large construction site.

    Some nomadic tribes near the border were the first to get the news and immediately began to move to prevent being attacked by the Sui army.  The Turkic Royal Court also received news from Datong City, but no one cared about it anymore, because Dulan and Datou finally united and bared their fangs towards Tuli and Da Sui.

    Soon after everyone dispersed, because he could lead the army independently, he built the army according to his own ideas.  Huang Mingyuan first started reforming the military medical camp.

    In fact, there were already established military doctors in the Wei and Jin dynasties before that. "Taiping Yulan" records that Liu De in the Jin Dynasty "became an imperial physician and a school captain"; "Zizhi Tongjian¡¤Jin Ji" records that  During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, Cheng Ji was the imperial doctor Sima, and he also had many titles such as the golden sore doctor and the broken wound doctor.  As for organizations similar to military doctors, they began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

    And Huang Mingyuan, who knows a lot about the history of his previous life, understands the significance of military doctors to the army.  Some soldiers who are effectively rescued and able to return to the battlefield will generally become the core force of an army.  During the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang Army organized a group of troops who returned to the battlefield into the Honorary 1st Division. This unit quickly became an effective force on the frontal battlefield.  For soldiers, military doctors not only save their bodies, but also give them hope of living and the courage to fight forward.

    There were also several witch doctors in the original Datong City. Huang Mingyuan dismissed all the shady people among them, and forced all the doctors in the city to gather into the military camp, and then selected a group of clean, hard-working, and smart young servants to serve as military doctors.  Work as an apprentice and nurse in the camp, serving as the backbone.

    At the same time, each battalion has a "sick child inspection officer" who inspects the sick and wounded and their daily diet every day in order to arrange medical treatment and evacuation. The auxiliary soldiers of each battalion also specially allocate personnel to form a stretcher team to facilitate field rescue.

    A health gendarme was established in the military medical camp, and each battalion announced new health regulations, prohibiting open defecation, washing clothes regularly, spreading lime for disinfection regularly, and reforming the construction and use of toilets A series of compulsory measures were implemented.  , the sanitary conditions in each camp soon improved greatly.

    For the military medical soldiers, Huang Mingyuan also personally wrote the regulations, took the initiative to teach the health personnel the knowledge of field rescue and disinfection, and used later generations of white to make uniforms for the military medical soldiers. Suddenly, the entire military medical camp was as white as snow and looked brand new.

    In fact, in many wars, the real cause of death of soldiers is that they were infected with diseases outside the battlefield and were seriously injured without proper care after being injured on the battlefield. Not many people actually died on the battlefield.  Nightingale reduced the mortality rate of wounded and sick soldiers to 2.2% in only about half a year in the Crimean War. Before her, half of the wounded soldiers survived. Thank God.  Huang Mingyuan does not need the superb medical skills of the people in the military medical camp. This is unrealistic in this era when people have to rely on gods and ghosts to get sick. However, he hopes that through the careful care of the military medical soldiers, he can reduce the high mortality rate of injured soldiers.  .  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
