    Han Shimou 263_Chapter 263 The half-year period "In this way, we will ensure that within this six months, Wen Bufan cannot clear out the rebellion." - "Piaotian Literature Registered Member Recommends this Work" "Piaotian Literature Registered Member"  Recommend this work" - "Piaotian Literature registered members recommend this work" The heavy snow will start to fall in a while. When the cold winter comes, the thieves around Hedong will starve to death due to lack of food and things to keep out the cold.  Many people froze to death.

    I think that although they are causing rebellion, they are still the subjects of the Han Dynasty, and they should not be allowed to die so easily.  Do you think so?  "

    As soon as the Yanshi Jiang clan leader said these words, the eyes of the wealthy clan leaders in the entire field immediately widened.  The head of the Li clan in Ji County asked with his heart pounding, staring at the head of the Jiang clan in Yanshi.

    "Chief Jiang, do you mean that we are secretly helping these rebels?"

    "Silence!"

    Wang Zhong¡¯s expression suddenly changed as he suddenly stood in the seat, and Ling Ran shouted.  This shocked the two clan leaders of the Yanshi Jiang clan and the Ji County Li clan, and everyone turned their attention to Wang Zhong.

    "When a rabbit is provoked, it will still kick off a lion with its hind legs. We have lived in the east of the river for countless years. How can we allow a small child to sit on our heads?"

    "However, this matter is just a matter of public opinion and there is no need to express it clearly.  All the gentlemen are smart people, so they all understand.  "

    Although Wang Zhong¡¯s expression returned to calmness, the light in his eyes was extremely bright.  The heads of the wealthy clans of Hedong present were all scheming people, and they understood immediately.

    Helping the rebels is a serious crime that can lead to genocide and beheading, so of course it cannot be made public.  The heads of the wealthy families in Hedong looked at each other and just communicated with their eyes to decide what to do in the future.

    And the other side is in Anyi County.

    Wenhan had just received an imperial edict from the court, ordering Xilong to give some gold and silk in private as a mark of respect, and then sent away the eunuch who delivered the edict.

    After reading the imperial edict several times, Wenhan closed the imperial edict, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.

    After a while, Xilong settled down the eunuch who had delivered the edict and came back. However, when he saw Wenhan who was thinking with his eyes closed, he knew that the eunuch that had been delivered was not a good thing.

    "It seems that the wealthy people from Hedong have taken action. Lord, what does the imperial edict say?"

    When the two of them are in private, Xilong will address Wenhan as his master. According to Xilong's words, there is a hint of encouragement and reminder.  When Wenhan heard the word "Lord", he knew that Xilong was here. Among his subordinates, only Xilong would call him by this title.

    "In half a year, all rebellions around Hedong will be eliminated within half a year."

    Xilong was startled and his brows furrowed unconsciously.  He knew that Wenhan was lucky to be able to retain his position as the governor of Hedong.  But the problems that the Holy Emperor has given Wen Han are really embarrassing.

    "Look at the weather, it will snow in three days. And the snow will last for a long time. The cold winter is approaching and it is difficult for soldiers to fight. In this winter of March, it is difficult for us to send troops to conquer the rebels.

    But there are dozens of waves of rebels, large and small, around Hedong, and there are even tens of thousands of Baibo rebels in the Xihe area.  Time is urgent at the moment. If the lord waits until winter is over before sending out troops, this time will definitely not be enough.

    ¡°My lord, did this imperial edict ever say that if it is not completed in half a year, then¡­¡±

    "Then, Your Majesty, you want me, Wen Bufan, to have my head on my neck."

    "Uhit seems that the lord has an arrow on the string and has no choice but to take action."

    Xilong narrowed his eyes, and after saying this, he fell silent and began to think of strategies for Wenhan.

    "If we can solve this cold-warming thing, with the elite soldiers and horses under the lord's command, we can first clear out the remaining thieves outside Baibo Valley within this winter March. After the winter, we can fight to the death with Baibo Valley  "

    Xilong murmured in a low voice, Wenhan's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard Xilong's words, as if he thought of something, and he grabbed Xilong's hand with one hand.

    "Let's go to the school grounds with me."

    "Going to the school grounds?"

    "That's right. Although it hasn't snowed in the past few days, the temperature has dropped a lot. I'll go to the school field to see the condition of the soldiers, and then I'll think about how to solve this problem to keep out the cold."

    After Wenhan finished speaking, he didn¡¯t allow Xilong to say anything more, so he took him and rushed out of the county hall and went straight to the Anyi school grounds.

    In the school grounds, it is already winter.  All the soldiers who were trained were wearing cold-proof coats and velvet hats. In Wenhan's army, the soldiers were extremely well-equipped. Wenhan paid special attention to this armament and spent a lot of money on it.

    "Zuixian Brewing has been sold to outsiders for a month. Although in Hedong, the wealthy families in Hedong intend to buy this Zuixian Brewing. People of all ethnic groups are strictly prohibited from buying it."Buy this Drunken Fairy Brew.  But Wenhan did not work as a retailer, but as a wholesaler, dividing the output of Zuixian Brewing into dozens of portions and selling them to wealthy merchants in Hedong.

    These wealthy merchants from the east of Hedong have businesses all over the world. They are not afraid of the resistance of the noble families in Hedong and sell Zuixian Brewing to all states and counties.  Zuixiangong is a new wine, and it has its own unique potency, so the reaction is excellent.  In almost every restaurant in every state and county, this drunken wine was sold out as soon as it was put on the shelves.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? out  It is deeply loved by dignitaries in all states and counties. The restaurants all over the states and counties receive a large number of orders every day. The wealthy businessmen and merchants in Hedong are so happy that they laugh non-stop every day and pay tribute to the Lin family who manages Zuixianjiang.  Asked for more portions.

    ¡°In just this month, the huge income brought by Zuixianjiang can be worth the three-month income of Wenhan Gambling House.  In this way, Wenhan's funds are sufficient again.

    Therefore, investment in armaments has increased a lot.

    After all, human beings are soldiers. When marching and fighting, they are faced with murderous weapons. No matter how elite and brave a soldier is, sophisticated armaments are indispensable.

    Wenhan and Xilong came to the school field. Guan Yu and Gao Shun, who were training soldiers and horses, saw Wenhan and Xilong arriving and quickly asked their soldiers to train on their own. They both ran to Wenhan.

    "Third brother, why are you here?"

    Guan Yu is still wearing the same parrot green robe, with just a mink vest added on top. He is strong and tall, and he is not afraid of the cold weather.  Gao Shun, on the other hand, wore a lot of clothes, wearing a velvet hat and a fur coat to keep out the cold.

    "Haha, it's such a cold day, it's really hard on my second brother and General Gao."

    "What did the third brother say? Since the second brother holds an official position and gets the salary from the court and the third brother, it is natural for him to train soldiers."

    "What General Guan said is true. Moreover, as generals of an army, we are diligent in training, and we are also responsible for their lives. When they go to the battlefield in the future, they will bleed less and suffer fewer casualties."

    After Wenhan said polite words to Guan Yu and Gao Shun for a while, Wenhan's face suddenly darkened and his expression became serious.  Seeing this, Guan Yu and Gao Shun glanced at each other, both of them looking confused.

    "Second brother, General Gao. The temperature has dropped sharply in the past few days. Are there any problems in the training of the soldiers? If so, I want to send them to fight the enemy at this time, is it okay?"

    Guan Yu didn¡¯t know why Wenhan asked this, but after pondering for a while, he quickly answered Wenhan¡¯s question.

    "The third brother is willing to spend money on this cold-proof armament. The sergeant has excellent cold-proof items, so it is necessary to fight in this cold weather. However, the second brother feels that this cold-proof armament is still lacking."

    "Is there a part missing?"

    "Well, it's freezing weather. Although the sergeant has a cold-proof coat, a velvet hat, and fur boots, his hands have nothing to protect him from the cold. Every time he trains, the soldier's hands will turn red from the cold, and he will swell his whole face with force.  My palms will crack. If I fight the enemy, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t last long.¡±

    Gao Shun agreed with Guan Yu's answer and nodded repeatedly.

    Wen Han¡¯s eyes suddenly brightened and he thought to himself.  At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, gloves had not yet been invented.

    Wenhan lowered his head and thought for a while, then asked Guan Yu again.

    "Second brother, if I can solve this cold-proof thing in my hand, can my sergeant fight in the cold winter?"

    When Guan Yu heard Wen Han mention the word "fight" again, he was suddenly startled.  Next to him, Gao Shun's expression also changed.  The two of them had vaguely guessed at this time that Wenhan might be sending troops soon.

    So Guan Yu thought seriously now, and after thinking for a while, he said very carefully.

    "If we can solve the cold-proof thing in our hand, we should be able to fight in this cold winter. After all, the opponent's soldiers and horses also suffer from the cold winter. However, we cannot fight a protracted battle in the cold winter, and every battle must end quickly, otherwise  Once the cold air enters the body, the soldiers will become ill after the war and will be unable to fight again.

    Third brother, has the imperial court issued an order asking us to exterminate the rebels around Hedong?  In fact, there is no need to rush in such a hurry. After the cold winter is over, with our elite soldiers and horses, we can annihilate these rebels in less than a year!  "

    Listening to Guan Yu's words, Wen Han smiled bitterly.

    "If I had this time, of course I wouldn't be in such a hurry. The court just issued an order, giving me only half a year. If there are more thieves in Hedong after half a year, my head will not be safe."

    "Half a year?!"

    Guan Yu and Gao Shun's eyes widened and they exclaimed in unison.

    "Yes, there is only half a year. So now I have toWe are now preparing to send out troops and strive to clear out all the rebels except Baibo Valley during this winter.  Then use the remaining three months to fight to the death with tens of thousands of thieves in Baibo Valley!  "

    Guan Yu narrowed his eyes. Although he didn't know why Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty suddenly gave such an order, Guan Yu was not an ignorant person. He more or less guessed that this must be related to the fight between Wen Han and the wealthy people in Hedong.

    "In that case, we can't waste any more time now. Third brother, how many days will it take you to develop this cold-proof thing in your hand?"

    Wenhan already has a rough model of the glove in his mind, but he still needs to make some modifications so that the glove can not only keep out the cold, but also not hinder combat.

    "It only takes three days. If we rush to build it again, it will take another five days to equip the entire army. That is, we will send troops in eight days."

    "Wait, Bufan. If we immediately transfer tailors from several counties near Anyi, as well as those wealthy businessmen who have cooperation with us, and ask them to transfer their tailors as well. As long as  As soon as you develop it, we will immediately have these tailors rush to work. It should be ready for the entire army in two days.

    "But in this case, these tailors will probably know about Bufan's research and development products"

    Xilong paused unconsciously as he spoke. Wenhan thought for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

    "Haha, it doesn't matter. I can divide this product into several parts, let these tailors do it separately, and then let our people do the final processing."

    Wenhan thought of the principle of the assembly line in later generations. As soon as he finished speaking, Xilong immediately understood the meaning and his face showed ecstasy.
