    Chao County is far away from the capital, and it takes more than half a month for news to come and go even if the news comes at a fast pace. Zhuo Bufan did not rush back to Shenlong Mountain, but stayed in Chao County.  Regarding matters in Chaoxian County, he had an explanation for Liu Liangzuo and several generals under Hong Chengchou's department.

    A few days later, Li Weisheng also came to Chao County and was deeply moved when he saw the changed appearance of the county.  Not only Li Weisheng, but also some people from the Strategic Planning Department and some people from the Administration Department also came to Chao County.  []

    The reconstruction of Chao County is just the beginning. It faces many difficulties, but Liu Liangzuo, who is temporarily serving as the commander-in-chief of the reconstruction, is very busy.  No, just when Zhuo Bufan was making tea under the old locust tree in the courtyard to greet the think tanks of Shenlong Mountain, Liu Liangzuo walked in, sweating profusely.

    "General, this job is not easy to do. It is too troublesome and makes me exhausted." Liu Liangzuo grabbed a cup of tea and drank it first, and said in a loud voice.

    Zhuo Bufan looked at Liu Liangzuo with a smile. This Dahua Jiangnan general was already from Shenlong Mountain.  Zhuo Bufan did not plan to expand the Shenlong Army, but he realized that future battles would probably require help like Liu Liangzuo.  And how to expand his power was exactly the reason why he called Li Weisheng and others here this time.

    "General Liu, thank you for your hard work. Let's do this. I'll wait until I think about how I can replace the general." Zhuo Bufan said with a sly smile.

    Well?  Liu Liangzuo was stunned for a moment, then waved his hands repeatedly and shouted: "No way, I'm just a little tired, but it's very interesting. I'm working hard, but I don't want to push the errand."

    Everyone laughed, and they could all see that although Liu Liangzuo was sweating profusely from work, he was full of energy.  Seeing you build a city with your own hands, it is very satisfying for an army accustomed to destruction to experience the pride of construction. At the same time, this kind of dispatching and command is actually good for the army.

    Liu Liangzuo also smiled sheepishly, then frowned and said: "General, the city has basically been cleaned up. I came here to report back. There is also something difficult to ask the general for."

    It turns out that the cleanup in the city has basically ended, but the large city with a solid wood structure has basically no usable materials.  If you want to re-cut wood to rebuild a house, firstly, the good wood is far away, which may require a lot of manpower and material resources. At the same time, the newly cut wood cannot be directly used for construction.  It is winter now, and it is very cold at night. If there is rain or snow in the future, there is no way to wait.

    Zhuo Bufan nodded and said: "Very good, General Liu, thank you for your hard work. The entire army is resting, and private reconstruction of houses is strictly prohibited."

    "Ah?" Not only Liu Liangzuo, but everyone was also surprised. Liu Liangzuo said quickly: "I'm really not complaining. The brothers are very motivated. As long as we get the materials, we promise to build all the houses within ten days."

    Zhuo Bufan shook his head and said: "It's not that I won't let you rebuild, but I have other plans on how to rebuild."

    Although Liu Liangzuo only recently made it clear that he secretly belongs to Shenlongshan Temperance, the biggest advantage of this person is that he knows what he should and should not do. In layman's terms, he is a sensible person.  Hearing this, he realized what he was saying. He went out to arrange some things and strictly followed the orders. Then he returned to the small courtyard according to Zhuo Bufan's instructions.

    The welcome tea party was directly changed to a strategic planning meeting.  Zhuo Bufan ordered people to take out paper and pen, and everyone also found some small benches and benches, etc., and gathered in a circle with hot tea. In the middle, there was a stone table covered with paper and pen.

    Zhuo Bufan frowned and thought for a while, and then said: "Since we want to rebuild, let's build something that no one else has seen. First, tell me how this city should be built."

    ??Everyone looked at each other and wondered, how could this city be built? Isn¡¯t it just a city wall, towers, moat, and three rings on the left and three on the right?  Everyone thought hard for a while and started offering suggestions.  These people are not just fake Taoism, they are all personally selected or recommended by Li Weisheng and Li Zhi, and they are all people with real talents and learning.  Some people put forward novel improvements to the city wall, some expressed their opinions on urban planning, and some even proposed the construction of a sound underground drainage system.  A young bachelor even had the courage to express his idea of ??building a unified water supply system for the whole city, which would solve the problem of drinking water and facilitate people's livelihood, and it could also be used to extinguish fires in the event of a fire.  The three cobblers are like Zhuge Liang. This group of scholars used their brains to learn from each other and supplement each other. Even Zhuo Bufan was eye-opening.

    ¡°What the hell, this is the power of our Chinese nation, drainage systems, water plants, fire protection facilities, urban planning, if we give you electricity, I¡¯m afraid even the power grid has been designed by me.  Okay, okay, this is what I want.  However, these people's vision is still limited to this era, which is normal.

    Zhuo Bufan first selected a few people, the ones who had developed the drainage and fire protection systems, and asked them to consider their own issues.Come up with a practical plan today.  Then, Zhuo Bufan cleared his throat and said: "What you all said is very good, and Zhuo Mou is also eye-opening. However, the city you are talking about is still a city wall, a gate, a moat, and this is not what I want."

    Everyone was silent and listened quietly. If there is no city wall, is it still a city?  Just listen to Zhuo Bufan continue to say: "I ask you, why do you need a city wall?"

    "It can resist the enemy and is beneficial to defense."

    "Environmental protection of the city will facilitate public security."

    ¡°Block out the wind, rain, and wild beasts.¡±

    ¡°It¡¯s full of flags, it¡¯s so beautiful!¡±

    Everyone laughed, and the last sentence was shouted by Zhou Tong, who was playing with candied haws on the side.

    Zhuo Bufan nodded and continued: "So, do you think that the city wall can still play a defensive role in resisting the enemy when facing our dragon cannon?"

    Everyone pondered. Everyone knew the power of the Divine Dragon Cannon. Liu Liangzuo even witnessed it with his own eyes. In front of such a cannon with huge power, extremely long range, and extremely fast rate of fire, the city wall was like paper. Not only could it not function.  The role of defense also greatly limits the mobilization of military power.  Just like this time when Zhang Xianzhong's fortress was transformed into the county seat of Chao County, the large number of troops in the city became living targets and could only be slaughtered without a place to hide.  This was because Zhuo Bufan deliberately stayed behind. Otherwise, he would have blown down three city gates and trapped the army in the city. He could have done whatever he wanted.  If he were in the city, then  Liu Liangzuo began to sweat on his forehead, he could only wait for death.

    Seeing that everyone had some understanding, Zhuo Bufan continued: "When considering this matter, we should take into account the current actual situation. From now on, there will be a world of firearms. Cold wars for thousands of years will become history. From now on,  Not only are firearms the most important means of combat, but there will even be more unprecedented means of combat."

    What Zhuo Bufan has to do is to build up everyone's understanding of the new form of warfare. With sharp weapons, he must also change his thinking. Only in this way can he fully unleash his combat power.  It is obviously not possible to hold rifles and cannons but still adopt a cold-weapon mentality.

    "In the face of new firearms, the city-ring defense wall cannot resist the enemy and is not conducive to the mobilization of troops. On the contrary, it limits the deployment of one's own combat power. At the same time, to defend such a ring-shaped city defense requires a large number of troops, and it is difficult to maintain the defense for a long time.  Strength. We can draw a conclusion from this battle. The defensive method of surrounding the city moat that China has continued from ancient times to the present is outdated." Zhuo Bufan waved his hand and said with certainty.

    Li Weisheng nodded, but still asked with some doubts: "It makes sense, but doesn't it need defense? Even if our Shenlong Army defends the city, doesn't it also need bunkers?" This is what everyone can't understand.  , if we don¡¯t use city walls, what are we going to use them for?  You can't dig a few trenches and build a few earth bags as permanent fortifications.

    Zhuo Bufan was already confident. He picked up a pen and paper, drew a large square, and said, "This is the new urban area." Then, he evenly placed a circle of small dots around the periphery of the square.  There are three on each side, making exactly eight in total.  Then he said: "The dots on the periphery are the new city defenses I envisioned. Chaoxian County is not big, so this arrangement can give full play to the effectiveness of our firearms. These strongholds are all made of boulders and city bricks, and are enclosed like a castle.  , all sides have gun muzzles, and several divine dragon cannons are deployed. Each point can completely block the entire city defense with firearms. In this way, the entire city defense of Chao County requires only a small number of troops. The entire suburbs and the entire urban area are full of firearms.  Coverage. It is true that without the city wall, the enemy can rush in, but it is impossible for them to capture the stronghold where we concentrate our defense. At the same time, no matter how many soldiers and horses the enemy comes, no matter where they break into, they will attack the stronghold.  Below. Our army is condescending, and the enemy has nowhere to escape and can only be eaten bit by bit by us."

    Everyone looked at the simple ink mark of a square with several dots on the white paper, but following Zhuo Bufan's narration, a new scene of an offensive and defensive battle emerged in their minds.  Thousands of enemy troops rushed into the city, and the surrounding strongholds spit out countless tongues of fire. Under the intensive firepower of the dragon cannons, it was another one-sided massacre.

    As for the threat of enemy artillery, what artillery is sharper than the Shenlong Cannon?  I'm afraid the enemy only has a chance to fire one shell, and then it will be covered by the continuous fire of the Shenlong Cannon.

    Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Zhuo Bufan put down his pen and said with a smile: "This is to adapt to the ever-changing situation by remaining unchanged and using offense instead of defense. How about this? How about I defend this fortress?"

    "What a man who uses offense instead of defense." Li Weisheng couldn't help but clasped his hands and sighed: "Zhuo Bufan, you can always detect what others don't notice, and you always come up with clever tricks. After thinking about it, these methods of yours are not complicated, they are very simple but very effective.  It works. But why can¡¯t we think of it?¡±

    Zhuo Bufan chuckled and scratched his headThe boss secretly thought: "I'm all opportunistic. Not to mention the devil's tortoise shell method that I saw in anti-Japanese movies when I watched it, it can really take advantage of firearms. I'm ashamed, I'm an expert. I'm an expert.  , I can¡¯t count.¡± Of course, these words must never be spoken, and others will not understand them.

    This time, these people in the Strategy Department finally knew why the general called him over.  Just get started, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, information books, those who design houses, design urban planning, design drainage and fire protection, all get busy.

    At this time, Liu Liangzuo suddenly shouted: "Oh, but the materials for building the house have not been solved yet."

    Zhuo Bufan laughed, and Li Weisheng also smiled and said on Zhuo Bufan's behalf: "I still don't understand. Isn't the city wall made of a lot of materials?" The huge city wall bricks took who knows how many years to complete.  , blue-grey, one piece and one foot two, but absolutely good stuff.

    "Huh?" Unexpectedly, Liu Liangzuo was stunned and shocked: "Tear down the city wall? Absolutely, absolutely not!"
