"Qiu Junmen, what kind of wind blew you here?" Zu Dashou saw Qiu Hejia from afar, and gave his hand early as a courtesy.

"For the sake of state affairs, this hospital has to come to the ear!" Qiu Hejia also bowed back to Zu Dashou, who had half-white hair and was very old.

And then He Kegang just gave it up.

The rest of the lieutenant generals, staff generals, guerrillas, capital divisions, and thousand generals, did not dare to take it big in front of the governor, and they all knelt on one knee one by one, and saluted one after another.

Qiu Hejia responded.

"Mr. Zu, your Da Linghe Fort was repaired really quickly, this hospital remembers that the construction only started on June 25th, and today is only July 16th, only 21 days later, this military fort has actually been repaired with a beautiful appearance, this hospital is really a little admired." After Qiu Hejia and the generals finished saluting, they pointed to the wall of Dalinghe Fort rising from the ground and said happily.

"The military gate is the Yansui Army's guerrilla attack on Jingbian Fort Liu Renyu General Liu's reinforced concrete method is very effective, and Dalinghe Fort can be built so quickly." Zu Dashou said bluntly.

"Where is General Liu?" Qiu Hejia squinted his eyes and swept around among the generals.

"Junmen, the last general is Liu Renyu."

Liu Renyu saw that Qiu Hejia wanted to see him by name, so he had to answer with a smile on his face.

"I didn't think that General Liu was so young, he was really a hero and a teenager." Qiu Hejia looked at Liu Renyu, and then smiled and praised the other party.

When the Jingbian Fort army saw Qiu Hejia's situation, they thought that Qiu Hejia was an approachable and amiable senior civil official.

But all the generals of the Liaodong Army are looking at me and I looking at you, obviously not understanding the situation.

"Qiu Junmen has always been unsmiling and extremely strict, why is he acting like this today?" The Liao army guerrilla Wu Liangfu asked in a low voice about his robe, and Gao Guanghui said.

"If you are courteous to others, you will ask for something. Qiu Er was stunned and didn't take it big today, so he naturally asked us for something. Gao Guanghui looked around and replied in a low voice.

"That's right, let's just watch." Wu Liangfu nodded.

"The last general doesn't dare to be, and the military gate is falsely praised." When Liu Renyu heard Qiu Hejia praise himself, he naturally wanted to be polite.

"General Liu doesn't have to be too humble, ordinary generals in the Guannei regard Liaodong as a Jedi, even if they are ordered to do so, they are also reluctant to come, General Liu is good, not only invited himself to fight in Liaodong, but also prepared his own food and ordnance, so loyal to the country, respectable and lamentable." Qiu Hejia did not return to Shaanxi because he was grateful to Liu Renyu for receiving the order from the imperial court, but continued to stay in Dalinghe Fort, in order to praise the other party.

"Guanghui, is there an auditory hallucination in my ears, Qiu Er is stunned and still talks like this!?" Wu Liangfu could barely believe his ears.

"Ryosuke, you heard it right, I heard it clearly, this is the first time he's said something for so long, and it hasn't hurt anyone." Gao Guanghui also replied with a puzzled expression.

The two confused generals really didn't understand why Qiu Hejia was so polite, they couldn't think of an answer, so they could only continue to listen.

"Serve the country, share worries for the monarch's father, and the duty of a courtier, and I am the most important military merit in Liaodong, of course, the last general will come to Liaodong to kill Jiannu, so as to obtain the rank of advancement." Liu Renyu replied with a smile.

"Good ambition, it seems that this Dalinghe Fort is the place where General Liu killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions." After Qiu Hejia and Liu Renyu finished speaking, they said to a cadre of generals: "Mr. Zu Town, Mr. He Town, since the Dalinghe Fort has been repaired, please take the two of you to take this courtyard around to take a look, okay?" ”

"Why not? Junmen, please," Zu Dashou and He Kegang lifted their cloaks back and made a gesture of please.

"Mr. Zu, Mr. He, General Liu, follow this hospital all the way to have a look." Qiu Hejia also made a gesture of please.

"The old man came to lead the way for the military gate." Zu Da Shoujing took the lead and walked ahead.

Qiu Hejia, He Kegang, the Liaodong Army General and the Jingbianbao Army General followed.

"Military gate, this city is three zhang high, one zhang five wide, from the Daling River to divert water to protect the city, the city defense is about to be completed ........."

Zu Dashou pointed out everywhere along the way and explained to Qiu Hejia.

Qiu Hejia nodded frequently when he heard this.

Under the leadership of Zu Dashou, he crossed the moat and went straight to the city gate, intending to climb the tower, but he happened to see a group of people repairing the house, and the method of repairing the house was very different from the ordinary method, which made him very strange.

When the soldiers lay the foundations, they poured mud into something like an iron cage without ramming the earth.

When Qiu Hejia saw this, he couldn't help but wonder: "Can it be done to repair a house with thin mud?" ”

"It can be done, military gate, this city wall was built with this method, and now its hardness is not inferior to gold and stone."

Zu Dashou looked at Qiu Hejia's extremely puzzled situation, as if he saw his former self, and said it before Liu Renyu spoke.

"Really!?" Qiu Hejia was stunned, and seemed to be in disbelief, but what kind of person Zu Dashou was, how could he lie, so after a while, he said in disbelief: "No wonder this city wall was built so quickly, and the method of reinforced concrete is really strange." ”

After Qiu Hejia finished saying this, he looked at the picture of the construction of the soldiers, and it seemed that he still didn't know the point, so he had no choice but to think about the problem of how to make a house with mud, he went straight up the stairs and climbed the tall city wall of Dalinghe Fort.

This Da Linghe Fort is located in a basin, the terrain around the castle is very flat, Qiu Hejia climbed a high look, and suddenly his chest was open, and there was a feeling of seeing the mountains at a glance.

He first looked around for a while, and finally, he looked fixedly at the east, the place of the Jurchen heart across the river from Daling River Fort, as if he was talking to himself, and seemed to be talking to others, and said in a deep voice: "Sun Jingluo back then, with the respect of the cardinal assistant, he had the courage to support Yuan Chonghuan to defend the lonely city of Ningyuan, and now that such a city has been repaired, but it is about to be abandoned, is there no person like Yuan Conghuan who stands up to defend this lonely city for the country?" ”

After Qiu Hejia said this, he turned around and looked at Zu Dashou, his eyes full of pleading.

He knew that if Zu Dashou really didn't want to defend this city, he would be afraid that he would already leave after the order of the imperial court.

But Zu Dashou didn't leave after all, so Qiu Hejia thought that he could use Yuan Chonghuan's name to provoke Zu Dashou, so that the other party could clearly and personally express his willingness to defend Dalinghe City.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he looked at He Kegang on his side, as well as his brother Zu Dabi for a long time, before he said: "It's not that the old man doesn't want to defend this lonely city, but the imperial court has issued a clear order for us to return to the Ningjin defense line, and the food here is not enough, so I really can't defend this city." ”

Zu Dashou's meaning, Qiu Hejia understood, it's not that he doesn't want to defend the city, but that there is not enough food, and he doesn't have the confidence to defend the city, it seems that as long as he gives food, he can persuade Zu Dashou to defend the city.

But Qiu Hejia was also very embarrassed, and he didn't have any extra food in his hands, so he had to give confidence.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zu, the food is not enough for the time being, just wait for the autumn harvest to be completed, and the food can be sent to you." Qiu Hejia promised.

"If Jiannu suddenly arrives and surrounds Dalinghe Fort, what can I do?" Zu Dashou did not forgive.

"The imperial court has its own reinforcements to rescue, and the imperial court does not send troops to rescue, but the court comes to the rescue in person." Qiu Hejia hit the women's wall with his hand, and said loudly.

When Zu Dashou heard this, he looked at his younger brother Zu Dabi again, and then he replied angrily: "Zu is willing to guard this city with his subordinates." ”

"Okay, Mr. Zu Zhen is really a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty, and the pillar stone of Liaodong is also! Please be bowed by a certain church. Qiu Hejia was excited, and he actually bowed directly to Zu Dashou.

"How dare you do this!" Zu Dashou turned sideways slightly, and then hurriedly bowed back to show solemnity.

"Mr. Zu and General Liu Gao Yi, this court is very impressed, and Da Linghe is entrusted to the two." After Qiu Hejia finished talking to Zu Dashou, he instructed again.

"The military gate, the marshal, it is the right thing to guard the Daling River, but the last general has a reluctant request, and he also asks the military gate to give in." Liu Renyu suddenly spoke.

"Oh, what does General Liu want, just say, within the scope of this hospital's ability, I should do it." Qiu Hejia didn't know what Liu Renyu was asking for, and he didn't dare to take it, so he only said that he would do his best.

"That's what this town means." Zu Dashou echoed.

"There are 4,000 elite soldiers in the general town, 3,000 elite soldiers at the end of the general, and 10,000 soldiers from the rest of the army. Thinking about that Jiannu, the strength of the army is no more than 50,000 or 60,000 people, and our army's 10,000 elite soldiers are enough to deal with, and there are few soldiers, and the food needed is less. Liu Renyu pleaded.

"What Renyu said is very reasonable, the art of war is surrounded by ten rules, even if Jiannu comes to attack the city with 100,000 people, we will fire guns on the city, but we are not afraid of them. 10,000 elite soldiers is enough. Zu Dashou took the lead in expressing his position.

"That being the case, then according to General Liu's words, only 3,000 elite soldiers will be left here, and as for which soldiers will be left here, it is up to Mr. Zu to decide." Qiu Hejia replied.

"In this way, the last general will thank Qiu Junmen." Liu Renyu thanked him.

"Well, this hospital still has official business to do, so I'll go back to Jinzhou, and Da Linghe will leave it to you." Qiu Hejia is not sociable, and after finishing business, he doesn't want to stay for even a minute.

And Zu Dashou and Qiu Hejia have never been on good terms, so naturally they don't want to keep him for wine and dinner, so he only pretends to keep it.

Qiu Hejia excused himself slightly, and Zu Dashou no longer insisted.

"Take care, everyone." Qiu Hejia rode on his horse and bowed to the generals who were defending the city.

"We have military affairs in our bodies, and we can't send them far, so we will go slowly at the military gate." Zu Dashou and other generals said in unison.

"That's it." Qiu He Jiahun waved his hand absently and walked away.

"General Liu, Qiu Junmen is gone, you go and select 3,000 young men from the 10,000 garrisons." Zu Dashou said to Liu Renyu.

"Junmen, the selected young men will be handed over to the last general for training, okay?" Liu Renyu pleaded.

"General Liu's method of training soldiers is very fierce, but I am afraid that the soldiers will not be able to withstand it." Zu Dashou had seen Liu Renyu's hellish training, and felt that those garrisons might not be able to stand it.

"Commander, the last general has his own measure, and he will not train them like he trains his own officers and soldiers." Liu Renyu said with a smile.

"It's so good, choose the young and strong, and the training will be handed over to you." Zu Dashou said with confidence.

"Yes, Marshal, the last general knows."

Liu Renyu was ordered to select 3,000 young men from the 10,000 local soldiers in Liaodong who were garrisoned.

When the Jingbianbao army selected soldiers, the methods used were the same as those used in Shaanxi, that is, they wanted to be young and strong, and they did not want peasant children, soldiers, and local ruffians.

When the 3,000 selected soldiers saw the rest of the unselected robes leave, they were all extremely envious, after all, Dalinghe Fort was the front line, and it was a dangerous place for soldiers to fight, and they didn't know when their lives would be gone.

And just when they were extremely depressed, the general of the Liu family specially sent someone to send 5 taels of silver to each selected soldier.

This was temporarily borrowed by Liu Renyu from his own soldiers, and he had to pay it back when he returned to Jingbian Fort.

Those soldiers who stayed in Dalinghe Fort got such a large sum of money, they were all surprised, they originally had military salaries for the imperial court to fight in Liaodong, and now they can get extra extra money, naturally they are overjoyed, and the threat of Jiannu seems to be underestimated by these soldiers a lot.

And on the evening of the same day, Liu Renyu specially boiled the salted sheep and gave the whole army a meat meal, even the Liaodong Army also had a share.

Those soldiers are all bitter soldiers, even the New Year may not be able to eat meat, now in Dalinghe Fort can eat the authentic mutton of the Mongolian steppe, who is not grateful to Liu Renyu, all said that meeting such a general is really a blessing from the previous life.

Liu Renyu's various behaviors for the soldiers, that is, just laughing, the so-called sweet first and then bitter, when training in the future, these soldiers will know how powerful he Liu Renyu is.

In the grass near the left side of Dalinghe Fort, two people with bright heads and a small pigtail with a money rat tail tied on the back of their heads, wearing a black chain mail, lay on the ground, brushed away the weeds in front of them, and looked at it for a while.

"Damn, the Southern Barbarians are about to repair Dalinghe Fort, hurry up and go back to tell Niu Lu Ezhen."

"Okay."

After the two Houjin finished whispering, they crawled backwards, and after a while, they disappeared into the vast grass without a trace.
