After receiving the telegram handed by the guard, Li Jichun looked down.

Prior to this, Li Jichun, a native, once thought that the telegram was a hoax. However, today, a long time has passed since Jin entered the Kou after last year, and Li Jichun, a middle-aged crisis man in the Ming Dynasty, is now inseparable from this seventeenth-century information killer.

Later generations of Chinese people probably think that it is natural to get up early and turn on the mobile phone to see what kind of joke Trump made yesterday. But in the Middle Ages, there was only one word to describe this technique: the art of gods and ghosts.

Don't think that the ancients didn't know the importance of information.

"If you don't go out, you will know the world." Since this sentence can be handed down, it proves that even a shoddy version of the way of information transmission is a unique technology that only literate people are qualified to dream about.

Therefore, Comrade Li Jichun, the general of Yongping, has since been really cool about telegraph, a truly high-level information technology.

"Sitting alone in the military tent, news comes from all directions".

Beijing, Guanwai, Jiangnan, Fujian and Guangdong...... Whether it is the court hundreds of miles away or the Guangzhou New District thousands of miles away, anyone who has the right to know the news at his level can always get it as soon as possible.

The most important thing is that Li Jichun knows that even the emperor is not as good as himself. There is a lot of news that is top secret, that is to say, a certain telegram that he Lord Li saw today, the emperor and important ministers, maybe it will not be known until half a month later.

This advantage of extremely unequal information often makes Li Shen General drink sweet alcohol, and then full of pride, quite a luxurious feeling of "everything is at will, the world is in hand".

But today, when he read the telegram in his hand, he did not show the slightest sign of joy, on the contrary, the face of the general was covered with thick clouds at the moment. After a long time, he sighed and muttered, "The mountain rain is coming!" ”

————————————————————————————————

When King Qin's affairs came to an end, the court began to reward meritorious deeds according to the procedure. Of course, if there is a reward, there will be a settlement after the autumn.

Regarding the surrender of Yongping City to the enemy, the imperial court was naturally not polite. Except for Li Jichun, a brave general who was able to reinstate the atonement officer, the rest of Yongping's other officials, as in history, were hacked to death by Chongzhen himself by the order of the sword.

Chongzhen of this plane, because he has obtained a lot of real Tartar heads, is more confident than in history, and he is even more ruthless in killing the cartilage thief in his mind.

After that, Li Jichun rebuilt his soldiers and horses.

Unlike civil officials, who needed to move around, most of the military attaches in feudal society were locals. For example, Li Jichun was born in Qian'anwei, not far from Yongping, and the land was familiar, and after the money and grain were scattered, the number of soldiers was quickly replenished.

It is worth mentioning that Lord Li recruited troops this time, and there are still a lot of local natives who came to join the army enthusiastically - multiple versions of the story of the general's battle and slashing Shuotuo have spread all over the hometown, and the "benevolence" that crossed the crowd in Yongping at the beginning is now also counted by the natives on the head of General Li. Strictly speaking, Lord Li's prestige in Yongping is +15 higher now than it was before the war.

In the end, Li Jichun named the new army under his command "Spring Thunder Battalion".

"Spring" is because there is a spring character in the name of the main general, which is a compound of the conventions of the time.

"Spring Thunder", it is about that General Li has a little bit of a desire to say goodbye to the past, and he needs to be vigilant at all times.

In short, the Yongping garrison in the future will be the Chunlei Battalion.

After the formation of the Spring Thunder Battalion, it spent more than a year in peace. Originally, Li Jichun thought that life would go on happily like this, but the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes...... Two months ago, with Taifu and Sun Chengzong, the secretary of the military department, inspecting Guanwai again, and then writing to Zhu Youjian, the last strategic counteroffensive of the Ming State against the Later Jin began.

Sun Chengzong, who is sitting in Shanhaiguan, has frequently dispatched troops to collect logistics materials during this period of time, and all his actions have been seen by Li Jichun, who is sitting in Yongping - Yongping's position is behind Shanhaiguan, and Li Jichun, the commander of this local military division, will definitely know about the movement of grain, grass, soldiers and horses outside the pass.

At the same time, military intelligence telegrams from the direction of the capital were also frequently sent to the Yongping Li Jichun Division, so the general of the staff belonged to the current strategic situation. His personal judgment in private was consistent with the telegram: it would not be long before there would be a big battle between Ming and Jin outside the border.

Then time flew by, and it was late August today.

When the general read the telegram sent at an unusual time, he immediately said in his heart: "Here it is."

Today is August 20th. This telegram from the General Staff Department clearly reads: The Guanning Army's ancestor Dashou Department has recently begun to build a city on the Daling River, and the Houjin army has been assembled in Liaoyang and will soon move south to the Jinzhou line.

The last paragraph of the telegram was a military order: Li Jichun's troops were required to do a good job in mobilization work and be ready to leave the customs at any time.

"The mountain rain is coming!"

After reading the telegram, General Li knew that the boot had finally been thrown down, which reminded him of the great battle last year, and his dealings with the Tartar generals, Lord Cao, the emperor and other big people.

Just when Li Jichun recalled the past years and lamented the vagaries of the world, the guards on the side couldn't hold it anymore: "My lord, is this trip to the Spring Thunder Camp going to end?" ”

Li Jichun woke up when he heard this. When he turned his head to look, he was a little surprised to find that the young face of his own guard was full of excitement.

The newly supplemented personal guard of General Li is called Xiao Qi, who was recruited from the Li family in Qianxi. In terms of blood, Xiao Qi, who is eighteen years old, is Li Jichun's distant nephew, so General Pingsu still treats Xiao Qi very kindly.

"Xiao Qi'er, go to the gate to fight with the Tartars, that is going to kill people everywhere and throw corpses into the wilderness! Are you not afraid of this baby? ”

Hearing his general's question, Xiao Qi replied loudly: "What are you afraid of him doing?" My Spring Thunder Battalion is unparalleled in combat power, and the Tartars are also sent to death in the end! This time, I have to go to the capital to pile up a head, and ask for a lottery in front of the emperor! ”

"Hahaha! You baby wants to be beautiful! When General Li heard the energetic answer of his nephew, he was dispelled a lot of sorrow for a while. Yes, my own Spring Thunder Camp has already been reborn, what are you afraid of the Tartars?

General Li, who was infected by the youth, put down his thoughts at this moment, stood up, took a set of military armed belts on the table, and put on a gun after being dressed neatly: "Go out with me!" ”

"Yes!"

The next moment, Master Li lifted the curtain and walked out of the door.

When you go out, you will be the building. Li Jichun stood by the wind at this moment, taking in the Spring Thunder Camp.

The newly-born Spring Thunder Camp was renovated on the basis of the previous Yongping Acropolis. At the beginning of the first battle of Jin Jinkou, the Yongping Guard, which had been in disrepair for a long time, had no resistance at all, and those inside called Hanako to flee for the first time, and the guard was burned by the Tartar cavalry.

Afterwards, Li Jichun, the general of Yongping, wanted to rebuild the Chunlei Camp, so he listened to the advice of the construction experts sent by Tianjin Railway Station and directly requisitioned the abandoned guardhouse.

The main reason for choosing the castle is that it is a small terrace. And this small platform is the only commanding height near Yongping City. In addition, this place is only 6 miles away from Yongping City, and it is surrounded by the Yongping River on both sides, so there is a little bit of offensive and defensive meaning, so in the end, the Spring Thunder Camp was located here.

Since the day the site was decided, Li Jichun, whether it was the nearby Yongping natives, began to deeply feel the power from the distant crossing forces.

Under the employment of white silver, yellow grains of wheat, and all kinds of cloth and miscellaneous goods, a large number of people began to carry out crazy infrastructure activities.

The former Acropolis was completely removed, the masonry was abandoned, and the foundations were re-excavated. After that, the ships that came from Tianjin, along the Luanhe River system, and the horse teams that came along the official road, brought endless green bricks, and cement used to fill the caulking and plastering the walls.

There are even some reinforcing bars used in key parts of the city walls.

The reason why the crossing crowd has such a large capital under the Spring Thunder Camp is very simple: the location of Li Jichun's department is very important.

There is no doubt that in the foreseeable future, Li Jichunbu will be put to great use.

On the day when the heavens and the earth were overturned, Li Jichun's troops could ride horses to attack the capital in the west, and Shanhaiguan in the east. Taking a step back, even if he takes a defensive position, Li Jichun's troops can hold their headquarters as needed, harassing and cutting off the Houjin army, or the Guanning army...... or the road to Beijing after the Houjin + Guanning army entered the customs, buying time for the "Wang Division" to go north.

Therefore, there is a new station for the Spring Thunder Battalion, the General Staff of the Crossing Forces, which was built in accordance with the highest national defense military standards - the fortress.

The new acropolis built on the terrace, the outer wall is adapted to local conditions, along the edge of the terrace, adopting an irregular bastion pattern, which can give the besiegers a multi-directional attack.

The area of the new acropolis is much larger than that of the previous one. Considering the needs of the temporary garrison, there are not only various planned "redundant" barracks, but also playgrounds, armories and other scientifically constructed functional buildings.

In addition, deep wells were dug in the city to deal with the siege of the enemy army.

In the end, due to the existence of the sturdy central general building, in an extreme state, even if the city is broken, Li Jichun himself can still lead the remnants to hold on for a period of time.

Above, this high-end real estate project, which took half a year and greatly boosted the GDP data of Yongping in 1631, is all in Li Jichun's eyes at this moment.

At this moment, Li Jichun, an old-fashioned soldier, stood on the general's tower, greedily looking at the towering and thick city walls around him, the steel cannons hidden in the gun emplacements, and the sweaty young soldiers on the playground who were training desperately.

The next moment, as the dust rose in the distance, Li Jichun raised his hand to set up a pergola. As far as the eye can see, with the silver-threaded Luan River as the background, a large number of cavalry are slowly rushing from the sky.

The cavalrymen were unarmoured and wore army green summer crewneck shirts. They carried black powder carbines on their shoulders, sabers at their waists, and laughed loudly on horseback, looking comfortable after returning from training.

"Go to the camp with my officer!"

At this moment, the folds on the face of the general stretched a lot, and he walked down the castle tower with his hands behind his back.
