Zhou Zheng stayed in Jinzhou for two days, looked at Jinzhou City, borrowed people, and returned with a full load.

Back in Songshan, Cao Bianjiao and others sent a planning map.

This is a big city in all directions, the city wall is as high as 20 meters, 4 meters wide, 100 zhang from north to south, and nearly 200 zhang from east to west!

This is a bigger plan than Jinzhou!

This was planned according to Zhou Zheng's requirements, he looked very satisfied, took out a piece of paper from under the table, and said: "This is the lime formula that I asked the master for in the capital, and it is more solid to build a wall with this method." ”

In fact, this is the early cement, and Zhou Zheng used a little bit of the formula and technology of later generations.

Cao Bianjiao didn't look surprised, and took it and said, "It's an adult!" At the end of the year, we will prepare to divide into three shifts, start around the clock, build on the existing foundation, and strive to build it in four months! ”

Such a large workload requires a lot of manpower and money.

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "I want to find a way to borrow people from other places and recruit them, and the money and grain will come by ship from Tianjin Wei, don't worry." ”

Cao Bianjiao knew that the Zhou Chamber of Commerce was Zhou Zheng's, and there was no shortage of silver, not to mention that most of the taxes of Hejian Mansion and Yongping Mansion were intercepted, and it was not a problem to build a city.

"It's my lord!" Cao Bianjiao said in a deep voice.

Zhou Zheng stood up, looked around, and said, "Then let's start!" ”

"Yes!" A group of people raised their hands in unison.

With Zhou Zheng's order, the reconstruction of Songshan Fort was vigorously launched.

Zhou Zheng's 30,000 people, plus the people who were recruited from all over the place, nearly 40,000 people, began to be busy around Songshan Fort.

Zhou Zheng made a big move, but it didn't cause much reaction in Liaodong.

First, almost all places in Liaodong are expanding, and second, Liaodong is short of money and grain, and some leaders in Liaodong no matter where Zhou Zheng gets money and grain, as long as the city can be built.

Yes, Zhou Zheng did not encounter the resistance above, but he fought a lot of autumn winds.

In the temporary military camp outside Songshan Fort, Zhou Zheng was eating, and an uninvited guest came from Ningyuan Zhongwei.

"I am a military minister subordinate to the governor of Liaodong." The person looked at Zhou Zheng with a smile and said.

Zhou Zheng had already stood up, ready to raise his hand to salute, looking at his virtue, he said with an impassive expression: "What is the value of the ginseng general?" ”

The skin looked at the piece of meat in Zhou Zheng's rice bowl on the ground, his eyes flashed, and said, "Lord Zhou, you have been in Songshan for a short time, why haven't you gone to see Governor Qiu yet?" ”

Zhou Zheng sighed and said: "General Pi Shen didn't say, I almost forgot, I heard that the imperial court allocated Liao, I haven't received it, I will go to Ning Yuan tomorrow to see Lord Qiu, please ask General Pi Shen to take the first step to bring words, I hope I can bring back the money and grain of Songshan when I come back." ”

The skin was stunned, and then he came to his senses, and the person in front of him obviously knew his intention.

Niang Xipi, I haven't opened my mouth yet, but you will bite back!

Pi Xiang scolded secretly in his heart, and became more and more smiling, glancing at Zhou Zhengdao: "Lord Zhou, we don't say secret words, Lord Qiu said, as long as you hand over 20,000 taels of silver, he will turn a blind eye to your affairs." ”

Zhou Zheng blinked, and said with some incomprehension: "Governor Qiu wants to turn a blind eye, is he sick?" ”

Pi Xiang's face suddenly became a little gloomy, and he said: "Lord Zhou, the salary of your soldiers is not from Liaodong or the Ministry of War, your armor, weapons, and not the Ministry of War, and besides, you also spent a lot of money to build the city, right?" If Lord Qiu goes to the court and treats you for a crime of conspiracy, there are all the human and material evidence, can you escape? ”

Zhou Zheng looked up at the sky, then looked down at Pi Xiang for a while, and said, "Twenty thousand taels is too much, one thousand taels." ”

The look on the skin is a little gloomy, a thousand taels, you call Hanako!

The skin can see that Zhou Zheng is toasting and not eating, and he will be punished for drinking!

The skin had a gloomy face and said, "Lord Zhou, don't forget, Lord Qiu is the governor of Liaodong, and you are under his rule!" ”

Zhou Zheng was a person who was threatened, and said lightly: "General Pi Shen, one thousand taels, a lot." ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was soft and hard, he glanced at the few people behind Zhou Zheng again, and snorted coldly: "You just wait!" ”

After saying that, he left angrily.

As soon as he left, Meng Hezhou stepped forward, looked at the back of the skin, and said worriedly: "My lord, the lower officials heard that this Governor Qiu deducted military salaries in Liaodong, wantonly embezzled, and his reputation was extremely bad, so we have to be careful." ”

Chu Jin said: "My lord, the lower officials also heard that he became his own faction in Liaodong, and he didn't even give face to Inspector Sun, and he was repeatedly embarrassed. ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it in his heart and said, "I've heard of this, but I didn't expect him to send someone to openly blackmail, and he didn't hide it at all." ”

Cao Bianjiao said: "My lord, what if he forcibly orders us to stop us from repairing the city, or sends the adults to other places and deliberately makes things difficult?" ”

Zhou Zheng can be regarded as seeing the complexity of Liaodong, his expression is calm as usual, he turned to look at a few people and said with a smile: "It's okay, I was appointed by the imperial court, and there is Master Sun above, and I am not subordinate to the governor of Liaodong, don't worry, we will act according to the plan." Keep eating. ”

Everyone listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and then they were relieved, and they sat down one after another to continue eating.

After eating, Zhou Zheng walked along the city wall and began to inspect the construction site.

Shangguan Qing followed Zhou Zheng's side, dressed in tailor-made light armor, looked at Zhou Zheng's side face and asked; "Are you really okay?"

Zhou Zheng glanced at her and said with a smile: "What can happen, it's a big deal that I'll go back to Tianjin Wei after the city is built, what can he do to me?" ”

Shangguan Qing blinked and snorted.

Zhou Zheng didn't take Qiu Hejia's matter to heart at all, and inspected the progress of the wall in a row.

30,000 people are doing it day and night, and there is great progress every day, which makes Zhou Zheng quite excited.

In just a few days, Qiu Hejia's action came.

As the governor of Liaodong, he ordered Zhou Zheng to be transferred to Zhongwei in Guangning, and Songshan was taken over by Pi Xiang, and he could only take 5,000 people with him.

When Meng Hezhou, Cao Bianjiao and others heard this order, their expressions changed drastically.

Guangning Zhongwei also became Guangning Zhongwei Tun, in the north of Daling River, dozens of miles north of the right tun of Zu Dashou, and it was the place where the first battle of Jianyu was attacked.

Zhongtun is worse than Songshan Fort, it can't be defended at all, it is simply to send Zhou Zheng to death!

Cao Bianjiao said with a deep face: "My lord, I can't go!" ”

went, and their 30,000 people were given to the Jianyu people for nothing.

Several other people also persuaded that this order could not be accepted!

Zhou Zheng threw this order aside and said to everyone: "I am appointed by the Ministry of War, and I am not subordinate to the Governor of Liaodong, strictly speaking, I belong to the Governor of Liaodong, Meng Hezhou, and I wrote back to Governor Qiu, asking him to ask Inspector Sun and the Ministry of War. ”

Meng Hezhou breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Yes." My lord, but in this way, I am afraid that Governor Qiu will write a letter to impeach the adult, and the lower officials heard that he has a very good relationship with the middle official. ”

Meng Hezhou's meaning is very clear, a governor of Liaodong, plus the internal supervisor of the army, is enough to make the imperial court, the emperor, believe and stand on Qiu Hejia's side.

Zhou Zheng's expression was still calm, and he said: "Then I'll start first, and I'll write a few letters to the capital later." ”
