After taking down the Yansui Governor Yue Hesheng, Zhao Zongwu had no choice and continued to deal with these local officials, because in his eyes, they couldn't even handle their own jurisdiction, so there was no need for them to continue to lick their faces and occupy this position.

At this stage, Zhao Zongwu led his troops to garrison the Guancheng of Yansui Town, on the one hand, to stabilize his own side, and ensure the stability of the core he possessed in Yansui Town.

On the one hand, it is necessary to sort out the corresponding garrison in Yansui Town and Guancheng as soon as possible, select qualified officers and men inside, and disrupt and reorganize them into battalions.

The most important aspect is to wait, waiting for the Liaodong army to rush to Yansui Town, and according to the wartime dispatch, they are not far from Yansui Town.

The next few days were relatively busy, Zhao Zonglin was busy sorting out the overall situation of Yansui Town, and at the same time organizing the operational staff officers to follow and summarizing the basic overview of Yansui Town.

Tang Jiuzhou gathered soldiers and people, and according to the plan formulated by Zhao Zongwu, he reorganized the Guancheng of Yansui Town, and in order to ensure that the Guancheng of Yansui Town was large enough and stable enough, it was to be expanded and repaired this time.

It's strange enough to say, since he disposed of Wei Zhongxian's eunuch forces, the position of the chief military officer of Yansui Town has always been in the air, and it is managed by Yue Hesheng, the former governor of Yansui, which is why Yue Hesheng can command the army of Yansui Town, and he can't come out of Yulin City.

But now that Zhao Zongwu is here, the authority he should have will automatically enter the Commander-in-Chief's Mansion, and from the moment he stepped into Yulin City, Zhao Zongwu will be stationed in the Commander-in-Chief Mansion in Yulin City.

According to what is known, the topography of Yulin City is high in the east and low in the west, and the northeast corner protrudes outward. The walls of Yulin City are all made of rammed loess, and the outside is wrapped in green bricks.

However, the main construction period of Yulin City can be traced back to the Chenghua period, although there are also some construction and transformation during the Wanli and Apocalypse, but it is just some small seams and repairs.

According to the specifications of the city, this Yulin City is three feet six feet high, five feet wide at the base, and three zhang wide at the top.

The city opened five gates.

The north is "Guangyu Gate", the east is "Zhenwu Gate", the big west gate is "Xuanwei Gate", the small west gate is "Chop East Gate", and the south gate is "Zhenyuan Gate".

This time, Zhao Zongwu asked Tang Jiuzhou to be responsible for the rectification of Yansui Town, the purpose of which was to rebuild Yulin City with cement on the original basis of Yulin City, and to carry out corresponding transformation and upgrading of the city's urban defense facilities.

In one is based on the eastern Liaodong zone, the implementation of the mature Lingbao system construction, in the construction of the Lingbao group that echoes with it, truly Yulin City foolproof.

Because of the corruption of officialdom, many defense lines in the Ming frontier have the problem of disrepair.

As an important part of stabilizing the overall pattern of the Ming Dynasty, if the frontier is unstable, then how can he only develop?

"Big brother, what you asked me to investigate, the situation of the thirty-six camp fort in Yansui Town has basically been figured out." Zhao Zonglin walked over in a hurry, holding a stack of thick documents in his hand, and said with a bit of excitement in his words: "This Yansui Governor Yue Harmony is his mother's wine bag and rice bag!" ”

Looking at his indignant younger brother, Zhao Zongwu had a bottom in his heart.

It is only indignation, not anger, which shows that although there are big problems in the 36 camp forts in Yansui Town, it is not to the point where it cannot be solved.

Picked up a glass of water and handed it to Zhao Zonglin, and said with a smile: "Drink saliva first, if there is any problem, you can talk about it slowly." ”

Taking the water handed by his eldest brother, Zhao Zonglin took a big sip with a slow expression, and then handed over the document in his hand and said, "Big brother, you should take a look at the information I compiled first." ”

Zhao Zongwu took the document handed by his younger brother and looked at it indifferently.

"According to the overall investigation of Yansui Town, coupled with the fact that Chief of Staff Chen sent someone, the actual situation of the eastern defense line is compared.

The eastern defense line that our army has mastered at this stage is the defense line with the most loopholes in the entire Yansui Town, and the eleven main forts involved in it all have large loopholes in the city defense, and many attached piers are in a semi-abandoned state due to disrepair.

Previously, Wang Jiayin gathered people to revolt in Fugu County, but he saw that there were loopholes in the eastern defense line, and the garrisons and guerrillas who stuck to the camps and forts would not attack easily, so that he could successfully revolt in the adjacent defense line.

And many soldiers in the defense line chose to follow Wang Jiayin's command to revolt because they had not received enough money for several years and had not received enough food for nearly a year! ”

Zhao Zongwu looked at the information collected there, and Zhao Zonglin told about the situation.

Seeing this, Zhao Zongwu frowned slightly and said: "Then let you be responsible for the investigation and sorting, how many soldiers are still in Yansui Town, and how are they prepared?" ”

Zhao Zonglin said: "According to the investigation at this stage, the two defense lines in the east and central parts of the country, due to the severity of the disaster year, caused many military households to flee from their original sites, and the soldiers under them are seriously inconsistent with the reported situation.

As far as the investigation at hand is concerned, the eastern and central departments, together with the officers and soldiers of Guancheng in Yansui Town, have a total of more than 50,000 people, and those who are not divided into military households are not included in it.

If we follow the screening criteria formulated by our army, I am afraid that we can gather more than 10,000 qualified soldiers this time, which can be regarded as a very lucky thing.

The western defense line is located in a remote area, and the corresponding intelligence is currently being collected. ”

Shocking!

Looking at the intelligence summary in front of him and listening to what his younger brother said, even if Zhao Zongwu had a bottom in his heart, after hearing and seeing this, he was still very indignant in his heart!

Who would have thought that this dignified Yansui Town, an important military town responsible for the center of the Great Wall's defense line, could handle more than 10,000 soldiers, and it is no wonder that with the increasing intensity of the peasant rebel army, the peasant rebel army is becoming stronger and stronger.

Frowning slightly, Zhao Zongwu looked at the documents in his hand and said, "Before Mao Wenlong and the others came, you first integrated the basic situation of the generals in Yansui Town, and screened out all the generals who could be used."

When all our troops arrived, we will deploy the entire defense line of Yansui Town.

With such a porous defense line, once the grassland forces have a big impact, let alone the conquest of the Shaanxi rebels, whether my northern Ming Xinjiang can be stable or not has to be said twice! ”

Zhao Zonglin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go and investigate accordingly, when the time comes, those brutes who drink the blood of soldiers, don't even think about running away!" ”

After saluting his eldest brother, Zhao Zonglin left in the dust, in terms of personality, the two brothers have a lot in common, which is why Zhao Zongwu attaches great importance to his younger brother.

It is very important that the Zhao family can come out with a talent.
