"According to my estimation, the bandits nearby will definitely know about our big move today. With such a big piece of meat in front of them, those people will definitely not let it go. According to my estimations, there must be a spy in the Lin Family Village. Previously, the Lin Family Village was also robbed by bandits. However, after that incident, the Lin Family Village no longer hoarded food. After all the food was collected, it was all used up in the county. Hence, from then on, the Lin Family Manor was rarely robbed. Instead, similar incidents occurred in the neighboring villages.”
"The reason why I didn't let those 100 people follow everyone in was to see if there were any people with ill intentions who took the opportunity to pick up some things. Gradually, I realized that something was wrong. Our Village Chief Lin was definitely not an easy person to get along with. This time, he was so honest that it made me feel a little uneasy. Therefore, I decided to let those people in ahead of time. Village Chief Lin's expression could be said to have changed 180 times from before. Previously, he did not take us seriously and was even prepared to bully me.”
"Just because there's no trouble today doesn't mean that there won't be trouble tomorrow. The Lin Family had left the Lin Family Manor for many years. All these years, the manor had been handed over to Village Chief Lin to take care of. Other than collecting food, most of the matters were handed over to Village Chief Lin. Now, Village Chief Lin is the only one in the Lin Family Village. Once we return, we will definitely take back most of the power. Our Village Chief Lin is not an idiot, nor is he someone who will be trampled on by others. I believe that he will make a move soon!”
"Therefore, in order to protect the safety of everyone here, I have decided to let the guards enter the village ahead of time to deter others. At the same time, starting from tomorrow, the entire Lin family's old residence will be renovated. The current defense of the Lin family's old residence is very low. Most of the houses are made of wood, which is very dangerous. If the other party uses fire, then we have no way to escape. Fortunately, we have a large amount of food here. Unless it is absolutely necessary, the other party will not use fire. If we have to consider these things in advance, they still have many methods to use. Therefore, we have to take some precautions in advance!”
"From tomorrow onwards, we will build a reservoir in the entire Lin family. We will build a reservoir and fill it with water the next day. From tonight onwards, all of our living areas will be gathered together. This way, it will be easier to protect. In a while, inform everyone to stay in the same courtyard. Don't spread out in a few courtyards like before. "In addition, inform everyone to be more alert when they sleep at night. If any accidents happen, don't listen to instructions. As long as we don't mess around, it will be very difficult for those people outside to break in.”
"From today onwards, Chun Niang will be in charge of the kitchen and Wan 'er will be in charge of the house. The two of you will probably be busy until very late. You have to arrange what you should do today. As long as we survive tonight safely, no matter how many bandits come tomorrow, we don't have to be afraid! According to my estimation, if the bandits want to make a move, they will choose tonight. They will take advantage of the fact that we have yet to stabilize our footing and suddenly launch an attack, causing internal strife. Not only can they reduce casualties, but they can also quickly end the battle.”
"From now on, all the servant girls will be under Wan 'er's command. Wan' er, go and get someone to clean up all the beds and let everyone rest in batches. You guys can cook on weekdays, and it'll come in handy today. I'll leave the kitchen to you guys. Chun Niang, you command all the servants. Don't worry about the kitchen. Find all the wooden barrels in the house and fill all the water tanks. I remember that Lin Mansion sent many unused water tanks to the Lin Mansion last year. Adding the batch stored before, there should be more than 300 in total.”
"What you have to do is very simple. The first thing is to store more water in the kitchen. Now, there are about 100 water tanks in the kitchen. After this matter was done, he prepared 100 water tanks and placed them outside the grain warehouse. Each water tank was filled with water in case of emergency. If those people are desperate and attack the warehouse or directly attack the grain warehouse, we can put out the fire immediately.”
"After these two things are done, arrange the remaining water tanks next to the camp that is about to be built. I plan to build a simple fortification overnight, so I need a lot of water. I wasn't sure how long this conflict would last, so it was necessary to store some water. No one could guarantee that there would be no problems with the well. If there is a problem with the well, we will face a situation without water. At most, we can hold on for a day or two, so we must start storing water now. Chun Niang, do this now!”
Lin Yuanshan told Chun Niang everything that needed to be arranged. Chun Niang understood the stakes and knew that she could not delay at this time. She had to do it immediately. Without hesitation, she greeted Lin Yuanshan and immediately went down to do it.
"Wan 'er, I don't plan to talk nonsense with you. Hurry up and get those maids to prepare more food and some dry rations. Stew all the meat left in the kitchen for me. We will definitely have to go through a battle, and it will consume a lot of people's stamina. With the replenishment of these meat, the soldiers will be able to recover their stamina very quickly. Someone will send over a batch of meat in a while. You guys hurry up and process this meat. "There's one more thing that I almost forgot. Hurry up and get some coal back. Once a war breaks out, the place where the coal is stored might become a battlefield.”
"We don't have much of a problem burning firewood now, but once there's a conflict, we won't have a source of firewood. Plus, it's late at night, so we can't go out to chop firewood. So, we need to burn coal next. We have to make sure that the fire in the kitchen doesn't go out. For you, this job might be a little heavier, but fortunately we still have carriages. You can use carriages to transport the coal. The coal that is transported back will be placed in the house next door. No matter what the final outcome is, we must be prepared for a long battle.”
Just as Lin Yuanshan was explaining some things to Wan 'er, the first batch of people who went out to scout had already sent someone back to report the situation. For the time being, they did not find any abnormalities. After receiving this news, Lin Yuanshan heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that his people were still safe at the moment. There should be enough time to set up a defensive position. Therefore, after Lin Yuanshan finished his instructions, he went straight to the gate under the protection of the guards.
"We might be attacked tonight. Everyone, cheer up. If you're hungry, go to the kitchen and eat. "Now, I need to arrange some things for everyone. Let's reassign the teams. The Black Tortoise Guards will stop patrolling and start preparing to build fortifications. There are a large number of sacks in the warehouse. You guys go and put all those sacks into the soil and then build fortifications in front of the door. Set up two Maxim heavy machine guns at the gate, but I'll leave 300,000 rounds for you. I'll give you six M60 mortars, 500 cannonballs, two teams of the Vermilion Bird Guards, one team of the Xuanwu Guards, and 200 grenades!”
"These weapons and ammunition are enough for you to use. As for rifles, I'll give each of you one. However, according to my estimation, you shouldn't be able to use them. I will leave two of the six armored vehicles here for you. As for the specific arrangement of the armored vehicles, it will be up to you! My request is very simple. You have to guard until tomorrow morning. If you don't have enough weapons and ammunition, you can ask for backup. Don't be merciful to those enemies.”
"The other two areas could also be the direction of the enemy's attack. Therefore, I order the White Tiger Guards, Black Tortoise Guards and Azure Dragon Guards to form a team and defend one direction each. Each direction will be provided with two Maxim heavy machine guns, two 60mm mortars, 200 mortar shells, 200,000 bullets, and 300 grenades. If you don't have enough ammunition, you can ask for backup at any time!”
Just as Lin Yuanshan was about to continue arranging defenses, someone from the reconnaissance team came to report that they had discovered a group of suspicious people heading towards the Lin family manor. The enemy's exact situation was unknown, the exact number of people was unknown, and their weapons were unknown. They hoped that the Lin family manor would be prepared in advance and be ready to fight at any time. According to the analysis of the enemy's route, it would take nearly three hours to reach the Lin family manor. Please send a motorcycle reconnaissance team to the Lin family manor.
What he was afraid of came true. Lin Yuanshan was just preparing for a rainy day. In fact, he personally felt that the possibility of bandits attacking was relatively small. However, now that it had really happened, his blood began to burn, and his adrenaline began to surge. His face was flushed, and he was actually a little afraid. After all, he had lived in a peaceful environment and had never experienced war. He had only seen it on television before and had never seen what a real war was like! He had only been here for two to three days, and he was already going to experience the legendary cruel war.
