This time, Shuaisi's efficiency is still relatively high. After Zhong Hao wrote the document and reported it to Shuai Si, only about half a month later, Shuai Si's reply was approved, and Zhong Hao's application was agreed, and he agreed to build a war village in Qingyang Cliff.

In fact, this time, when Fu Bi planned to transfer the Rong army to Linzhou, he had already applied to the imperial court to build a new fortress on the bank of the Guye River. By the time the Rong army came to Linzhou, in fact, the court's reply to the consent of the construction of the village had already come down. Therefore, after Zhong Hao's application was handed over this time, Shuai Si soon had a reply approving Jianzhai. If it is according to the previous procedure, Zhong Hao will report to Shuai Si, and Shuai Si will report to the imperial court, and if he wants to wait for approval, he doesn't know how long he will have to wait!

This time, the battle village built in Qingyang Cliff is slightly different from Jingqiang Village, mainly in the procedure for naming the war village, there is a little difference.

Jingqiang Village was originally this war village, but later because it was broken by the Western Xia army and abandoned, and when Zhong Hao came to Linzhou with the Pingxi Army, he applied for reconstruction, and the name of this war village naturally still has to use Jingqiang Village. The stockade that the Pingrong army was going to build and garrison had a different procedure for naming it. This war village should be reported to the imperial court after it is built, and the imperial court will have an official name.

Of course, the naming procedure of this battle village is different, and it has no impact on Zhong Hao at all, and Zhong Hao doesn't care at all. The imperial court wanted to set a name, undoubtedly to highlight the existence and influence of the imperial court. In Zhong Hao's opinion, this is completely boring and vain, and it is really speechless!

Since this war village is officially named, it will be given by the imperial court after it is built. Zhong Hao, in order to facilitate the name, temporarily called the fortress that was going to be built here in Qingyang Cliff as Qingyang Village.

Along with the reply paperwork sent by the commander, there was also some materials for the construction of the fortress and a small amount of food. However, the amount of these materials and food is really some, and Shuai Si's palindromic text said: The rest has to be solved by Zhong Hao, the Quanzhi Cave Yehe Tuntian training matter.

Fu Bi knew that the Pingxi Army had gained a lot from suppressing bandits last year, and when he reported to Zhong Hao, he used those little tricks of crying poor and screaming, and he was not moved at all, and he did not have too much material support from Zhong Hao. Just mentally cheered Zhong Hao up and poured chicken soup violently.

Fu Bi encouraged Zhong Hao in the reply document: Being able to skillfully cook without rice can make Pingrong Army self-reliant and start from scratch, that is the embodiment of real ability, so that can reflect his talent.

Zhong Hao couldn't help but be a little speechless: Although the chicken soup is good, it is not a top matter, there are no materials and food, what can you use to build a village? Hehe, cooking without rice, which is so easy to do.

However, although Zhong Hao had some complaints in his Taishan father-in-law's heart, the work of building a war village in Qingyang Cliff was still more hurried. Otherwise, by this winter, if this war village is not built well, the soldiers and civilians of the Pingrong Army will suffer. Therefore, as soon as Shuai Si's reply document arrived, Zhong Hao took the Pingrong army to Qingyang Cliff to start building a battle village.

With the experience of building Jingqiang Village, the construction of Qingyang Village is also familiar with the road, and the construction of Qingyang Village will soon be on the track-

The wall of Qingyang Village is still built with local materials, and is built with three layers of rammed earth made of loess, river sand and lime.

This time, the walled wall was built simultaneously with the barracks and various facilities planned in the village.

The woods near Qingyang Cliff are abundant, and they are cut down to build barracks and various facilities in the wall.

Lime and other things were fired in the nearby kiln, and other materials needed to build the fortress were transported from the Jingqiang village.

Nowadays, the construction of Qingyang Village has the financial and material resources of Jingqiang Village plus manpower support, which is much easier than when Jingqiang Village was built.

According to the precedent of Jingqiang Village, Zhong Hao asked Zhong Cheng to select 300 young soldiers from the five battalions of the Pingrong Army to form a separate battalion and use them as soldiers, with Zhong Cheng as the commander of this battalion.

However, the quality of the soldiers of the Pingrong Army was worse than that of the Pingxi Army, and Zhong Cheng relaxed the standards several times, and finally picked out 300 soldiers who barely had some combat strength.

Zhong Hao asked Zhong Cheng to be responsible for the training and integration of the Pingrong Army's combat battalion as soon as possible, although the country in Western Xia is now delicate, and there may not be party members who have the intention to come to plunder, but Qingyang Village cannot be completely undefended.

Zhong Hao hoped that Zhong Cheng's battalion would produce some results in training as soon as possible, at least in case the party people attacked and disturbed, they could try their best to cover the retreat of the Pingrong army to the plateau. However, now that the Pingrong army is poor and white, there are not many weapons and armor, and it is really difficult to do this. It will take a long time to complete the horses, weapons, and armor, and Zhong Hao estimates that he will not be able to count on the battle barracks of the Pingrong Army in the short term.

As for the remaining soldiers of the remaining five battalions of the Pingxi Army, they still maintained their original structure, and under the leadership of the commanders of each battalion, they participated in the construction of Qingyang Village according to the arrangement.

The Pingrong Army will definitely be reorganized in the future, but now Zhong Hao can't take care of it for the time being, so in addition to letting Zhong Cheng transfer some combatable soldiers, he still maintains the original structure for the time being.

However, with the Pingrong army and the family, it is difficult to build Qingyang Village before winter.

Zhong Hao transferred all the surplus manpower in Jingqiang Village to Qingyang Village, participated in the construction of the village, and recruited people from Linzhou, Fuzhou, Lanzhou, and Jinning Army.

Last year, the Pingxi Army suppressed bandits, and seized a lot of grain, and the soju workshop and coke workshop in Jingqiang Village also made a lot of money.

Zhong Hao has been working on the construction of Qingyang Village all day long, and he has become a big foreman, and he is very busy all day long.

Fortunately, the work of building the village has finally become regular, and Zhong Hao can not worry so much for the time being.

Zhong Hao plans to let Zheng Wentao preside over the construction of Qingyang Village in the future, and after the construction of Qingyang Village, Zhong Hao plans to apply for the position of the owner of Qingyang Village and the commander of the Pingrong Army for Zheng Wentao.

Although Zheng Wentao lacked the ability to march and fight, he still had a very good set of overall planning and scheduling of miscellaneous affairs.

Zhong Hao's subordinates now have limited talents, and he wants to be lazy, so he can only let Zheng Wentao come up.

Zheng Wentao has been the capital of the Pingxi Army for more than ten years, and has a great influence on the Pingxi Army. Although so far, Zhong Hao's control of the Pingxi Army is still very comfortable, and the most powerful middle battalion of the Pingxi Army is commanded by Cui Feng, his cronie, Zheng Wentao still has a strong influence on the Pingxi Army, after all, Zheng Wentao has led them for too long.

With Zheng Wentao here, it is difficult for Zhong Hao to completely control the Pingxi Army and Jingqiang Village. Although Zheng Wentao is very respectful to himself, Zhong Hao still wants the Pingxi Army to be completely controlled by himself from the bottom of his heart, and he doesn't want to have another Zheng Wentao in the middle, after all, the Pingxi Army and Zhong Hao of Jingqiang Village have invested too much effort.

Of course, Zhong Hao's careful thinking is not enough for outsiders.

However, Zhong Hao does not have many people under him, and he still has to count on Zheng Wentao and others to support him, so naturally he can't directly transfer him without asking Zheng Wentao's opinion.

Zheng Wentao has to ask Zheng Wentao's own opinion before making a decision. If he really doesn't want to, Zhong Hao can't force it, and he can't make his subordinates deviate from morality!

After Zhong Hao returned to Jingqiang Village, he came to Zheng Wentao and told him about it, wanting to hear his opinion.

Zheng Wentao just thought about it for a while, and then happily agreed to this matter.

For Zheng Wentao, it may not be a good thing to preside over Qingyang Village. In Jingqiang Village, everything must be arranged by Zhong Hao, and everything must be reported to Zhong Hao, it is not as happy as presiding over a village by yourself. Although this Qingyang Village is also under the jurisdiction of Zhong Hao, the right to know the withered leaves and the Tuntian military training, it is far away, so there is no need to report everything!

Moreover, Zheng Wentao will also serve as the commander of the Pingrong Army in the future. Although he did not have the chief and deputy commanders on the top of Du Yuhou, he could still be in charge of the Pingxi Army. But if the name is not right, it is not good, and it is always a little uncomfortable. In the future, maybe when, the imperial court will send a commander, or to be small for others, how can he be a general of the first army who is happy? !

Although the Pingrong Army and the Pingxi Army are both Xiang Army, and they have been promoted from Du Yuhou to Du Commander, and there is not much real benefit for the time being, but they have been promoted after all. Zheng Wentao has not been promoted for more than ten years, and he has been wasting his time in the past ten years, but he is looking forward to being promoted to one and a half ranks.

Last time, there was a great defeat of the Dang Xiang Mountain Front Battalion outside Jingqiang Village, and he expected to be promoted to the next level, but the imperial court only added him a rank, and this official position has not changed. This time I had the opportunity to be the commander of the Pingrong Army, although it was still relatively weak for the time being, but it was finally promoted, and Zheng Wentao was still very happy.

Since Zheng Wentao agreed, the matter was settled.

Of course, although the Pingrong Army and Qingyang Village will be presided over by Zheng Wentao in the future, Zhong Hao cannot completely have no voice and influence on Qingyang Village and the Pingrong Army. In addition to Zhong Cheng, Zhong Hao's eldest confidant, who is in charge of the battle barracks of the Pingrong Army, Zhong Hao also plans to select a few students from the Jingqiang Village School in the future to be the logistics manager of the Pingrong Army, so that Zhong Hao can understand the financial and general affairs of the Pingrong Army and Qingyang Village.

Zhong Hao returned to Jingqiang Village, and Qingyang Village couldn't be left unattended for too long, so a few days after Zhong Hao and Zheng Wentao discussed, Zheng Wentao was very happy to preside over the affairs of Qingyang Village.

Although he left the Pingxi Army that he had brought for many years to bring the unfamiliar Pingrong Army, Zheng Wentao did not feel any discomfort at all, and soon entered the state and began to preside over the work of Qingyangzhai and the Pingrong Army.

After all, the Xiang Army is not a forbidden army, and it does not have so many intertwined and intricate relationships, and it does not have such a great sense of identity with the generals of the First Army.

The forbidden army, especially the Western Army, is mostly a family of soldiers for generations, and the relationship between the army and the army is intertwined, and they have a great sense of identity with the generals. A forbidden army is the capital that the generals of the army rely on to move and seal their wives and sons, and they will be more careful about the management of their own troops, and it is difficult to easily change the generals.

However, the Xiang Army, naturally, does not have these things, and it is impossible for the generals of the Xiang Army to win any military exploits with their subordinates who have no combat power, and they have used it to move around, and the Xiang Army's salary is limited, there is not much oil and water to fish, and there is not much resistance to the transfer. Of course, the generals of the Xiang army did not pay much attention to the soldiers under him, and the soldiers of the Xiang army did not have much opinion on the change of their generals.

………………

After Zheng Wentao went to Qingyang Village to preside over the affairs of the village for him, Zhong Hao had a rare rest in Jingqiang Village for a few days.

However, things are always busy, no, Zhong Hao was idle for a few days, and he received a summons from the pro-soldiers sent from Linzhou.

According to Yang Wenguang's personal soldiers who came to deliver the letter, Fuzhou Zhizhou Zhiji Min passed away, and five days later, that is, on April 25, there was a public memorial meeting in Fuzhou, and many military and political dignitaries in Hexi would go to mourn, and the imperial court and Hedong Shuaisi would also send people to mourn, and Yang Wenguang would also go to mourn in person, which he meant to let Zhong Hao also go.

After Zhong Hao came to Hexi, in addition to going to Fuzhou to recruit people on the ground, he did not have any dealings with the folding family in Fuzhou. But since the military and political dignitaries in Hexi were going, and even Yang Wenguang went in person, it was a little inappropriate not to go by himself. Yang Wenguang is probably afraid that he will not know about this matter, so he will be absent, causing dissatisfaction among the Fold family, and he will let people report him.

After all, they are all on the Hexi territory, and if the Western Xia army comes to attack in the future, they will inevitably have to rescue and take care of each other, and these military and political officials on the Hexi territory are still relatively united with each other, and they have a good relationship with each other. Although Jingqiang Village has never dealt with Fuzhou before, it is necessary to contact the world, and it will not hurt to have a good relationship with the Yongan Army of Fuzhou, the most capable army in the western border of the Great Song River.

Zhong Hao has also heard of his name for a long time, and it just so happened that the recent construction of Qingyang Village was presided over by Zheng Wentao, Zhong Hao was more free, so he was ready to go to Fuzhou.

Fuzhou City and Jingqiang Village are both on the edge of the Yellow River, but Fuzhou City is in the north of Jingqiang Village, that is, the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and it is still difficult to take a boat to Fuzhou upstream.

Of course, even going down the river is very thrilling. This section of the Yellow River is turbulent, and there are many canyons and reefs. If you want to sail, unless you are an old boatman who has been sailing on the Yellow River for many years, no one dares to sail on this section at all. Even for veteran shipwrights who have been on ships for many years, there are often shipwrecks and deaths.

Not to mention going down and against the flow of the Yellow River, even if you want to cross the Yellow River, there are only a few ferries in this section of the Yellow River that can cross the river.

It is precisely because of this that the status of the Hehejin ferry near Jingqiang Village is so important.

Since he couldn't sail, Zhong Hao had no choice but to ride to Fuzhou.

It's about 150 miles to Fuzhou, so if you leave early and travel quickly, you can get there in a day.

However, if the horse gallops for 150 miles a day, it is really a bit rushed, and it is too tiring, and Zhong Hao and they have never been to Fuzhou, in case something else happens along the way, I am afraid that they will not be able to arrive. Therefore, Zhong Hao set off on the road two days before the public memorial day of Ji Min.

Zhong Hao now trusts Zheng Feng very much, and it is easy to use, this time he went to Fuzhou, or asked Zheng Feng to accompany him with twenty soldiers from the middle battalion. Of course, Wang San has always followed Zhong Hao wherever he goes.

Fuzhou City is basically directly north of Jingqiang Village, and can be reached directly along the main road on the bank of the Yellow River.

Zhong Hao and his entourage rode along the road on the bank of the Yellow River to Fuzhou. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
