Chapter 125: Defensive Preparations
After Li Qing received the holy decree, he did not stay in the Governor's Mansion, he still kept a low profile, and the matter of guarding the yamen was still in the hands of Xu Shenjun, and Li Qing only occasionally made a show to go over and have a look.
Li Qing's behavior made everyone think that the invincible Li who joined the army before was a fake. This one who is too lazy to get down to business, and his face is paralyzed.
Wang Senjun and the rest of the people naturally submitted to Li Qing, Li Qing has always treated his own people preferentially, as long as he does not do things that harm the country and the people, and make small fights with other factions, Li Qing is naturally towards them.
Wang is happy to join the army, he can serve the emperor justifiably, and it is their blessing to be able to follow such a peak.
But these made Xu Senjun depressed, and he was a little skeptical that Li Senjun was not their person after all, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Li Senjun was not like a member of Emperor Taizu's family.
The governor of Yulin Pass was not designated for a long time, and Li Qing naturally took over the governor's mansion
Li Qing first made a post and invited the people of Li Qing's realm, the people of Li Qing's realm had already seen Li Sanya, and everyone couldn't believe that Li Qing was the child of Li Shan's family, they had no way to imagine that there would be a big official around them, and he was now the biggest official in Yulin Pass.
Only Zhang Wenyi has been privately wondering which child of Li Shan's family Li Qing fell to the ground, and guessed that it should be Li Wufu according to his age. Li Qing and Li Wufu are more than a year apart, and they look like five points, so it's not wrong to think so, of course, everyone will correct it.
The people from Li Qing's realm followed Zhang Wenyi and Wu Tiexiong into Li Qing's courtyard, and two large tables were set up in the courtyard, and Li Sanya was busy serving food. The dishes are made by the chefs of the Governor's Mansion, so Li Qing will not waste any labor.
Seeing that everyone was coming, Li Sanya hurriedly beckoned everyone to sit down and asked Huzi to come into the house and call Li Qing.
Li Qing was wearing a cyan gown, slim and elegant, but he was a little weak, but everyone didn't dare to underestimate him, this was the biggest official in Yulin Pass.
Everyone got up to pay respects, Li Qing hurriedly stepped forward and said: "You don't have to be polite, just treat it as a wine and treat in the village", everyone laughed and still gave Li Qing a salute.
Li Qing let everyone sit down and said: "The suffering that everyone has suffered in the past six months is due to me, it is my inconsiderate thinking that almost hurt everyone, maybe other armies have such things." I think that after this incident, no one should dare to do this again, and everyone can rest assured, these three glasses of wine should be punished for me, and I will drink it first as a respect. After Li Qing finished speaking, he drank the three glasses of wine in front of him.
Originally, the people in Li Qing's realm were very grateful for this, they didn't think about it so much, but they knew that Master Li in his hometown had donated a lot of food for them, and they could go to the city without going to the battlefield. Later, who knew that such a thing would happen, it could only be regarded as unlucky, but now that it was Master Li who saved them, they were only grateful to Li Qing.
After everyone finished eating, Li Qing let them go back, leaving only Zhang Wenyi and Wu Tiexiong.
Li Qing let the two of them go to the study, and when they entered the study, Li Qing first gave a big gift to the two, which made Zhang and Wu at a loss. Li Qing said: "Uncle Wu, Uncle Zhang don't worry too much, Wu Tianzhang and I are brothers, and their father is also my father, you can live with me from today on." ”
Wu Tiexiong left as a soldier, he was very worried about his family, their village was poor, and his family was even poorer, so he asked about the situation at home when he saw Li Qing say this. Li Qing talked about what happened in Li Qing's realm over the years, and also said that Wu Tian married Zhang Laidi, and Zhang Wenyi and Wu Tiexiong suddenly became in-laws.
Zhang Wenyi said: "I have been able to live until now thanks to the help of Brother Wu, and now I am still a family member." Wu Tiexiong also sighed, this is the fate of the two of them.
Li Qing let them live in the east wing, and during the day, he asked them to take the people from Li Qing's realm to the Governor's Mansion to learn to manage some things
After Li Qing took over the Governor's Mansion, he began to inspect the city defense and other affairs. Li Qing attached great importance to the city wall and defense forces, and Li Qing issued one decree after another.
Li Qing ordered the first line of defense to defend the city, digging moats outside the city, digging horse pits, and letting people build a large number of antler wood, horse guns, etc., the purpose of which was mainly to prevent the enemy army, especially the cavalry troops, from approaching.
Li Qing also proposed to arrange a lot of iron water chestnuts in the moat to prevent the enemy from wading across.
Li Qing climbed the city wall to inspect the equipment for defending the city and had the wooden rafts modified (Note 1), and Li Qing asked them to study the manufacture of a winch, which could be used to pull back the wooden rafts that had been given away, like the winches used in wells.
Li Qing asked the craftsmen to specialize in stone cannons, gunpowder, Zhuge crossbows and other lethal weapons.
Li Qing also asked the people of Yulin Pass to take up arms and train according to the distribution of the city, and Li Qing wanted to ensure that if there was really a war, the men, women and children of Yulin Pass would be able to go to the city wall to defend against foreign enemies.
Li Qing also mobilized to prepare military rations, and after the beginning of spring, he asked the government soldiers in Yulin Pass to open up wasteland and farm, so as to ensure that they could be self-sufficient.
Li Qing gathered all the doctors and doctors in the city, and asked them to guide the women in the city to bandage their wounds and take some emergency measures, and found people to order a lot of stretchers to ensure that casualties could be reduced during the war.
Li Qing also issued an order, if there is a grievance, he can go to the guard yamen or the governor's mansion to avenge his grievances, even if he intercepts him on the road, he will definitely not blame, but he must not betray the country because of all kinds of injustices in the past, but if the evidence of betraying the country for glory is conclusive, he will not be given any opportunity to quibble, and all the five horses will be divided.
Because of the matter of Yin Dudu, Li Qing's prestige in Yulin Pass is unmatched, and the people of Yulin City are very cooperative, and they respond positively to all the decrees issued by Lord Li, and even bring the people of various departments into a state of intense preparation, although they have different factions, but they recognize Li Qing's ability, and they are very impressed by the decrees issued by Li Qing.
Yulin Pass is more than twice as tightly guarded, and all those who enter and leave Yulin Pass must be strictly checked, and Li Qing will never allow spies to enter and leave Yulin Pass
Sima Yunfei heard that Yulin Pass was under martial law, and said very uncontrollably: "It is said that Li is afraid of death, but it is true, this is just spring, and the Turkic soldiers have not yet attacked, he has done so much, and those who don't know think that the Turkic army has attacked the city." ”
Yang Ye didn't think so, and persuaded him: "Brother Sima is wrong when he says this, I don't think it's easy for Li to join the army. He regained the forces of the three parties in less than half a month after arriving at Yulin Pass; Now it is only a month to take over Yulin Pass, he rectified and built the city defense, the people and all forces are actively responding, and now even our family is unwilling to reveal too much about the city defense layout of Yulin Pass, which shows the power of this person. ”
Sima Yunfei was also more interested in Li Qing when he heard Yang Ye say this, and decided to invite Li Qing again.
