In order to protect the better immigrants to the northern part of the city, Feng Youcai decided to build the Iron Mountain Fort as soon as possible, so as to keep the enemy from the north out of his territory. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Considering that there will be a lot of infrastructure construction in the future, Feng Youcai decided to synthesize 5 hundred-man baggage soldiers this time to be responsible for the construction of Tieshan Fort, the price of baggage troops is half cheaper than that of the army, and the corresponding combat power is also much lower, so it is specially suitable for the construction of this kind of secret building now.

Zhang Yang had no objection to Feng Youcai's decision, but pointed out that there is no need to keep it secret in the future, now this is his own territory, and the military position is basically at the top, if it is not for great military achievements, it will not be promoted for the time being, as long as these things are not publicized too much, there is no harm to himself, and it can also calm the hearts of the residents who have immigrated to the northern district of the city.

Although what Zhang Yang said made sense, Feng Youcai still decided to build the fort first and then talk about it. With the help of his own system, the construction speed will obviously be much faster, and at this time, he doesn't want outsiders to know, so he also plans to send a light cavalry hundred-man team to guard in the north and south directions.

Regarding the style of construction, at the beginning, Feng Youcai wanted to build a fort, but Zhang Yang strongly objected: "It is enough to build a side wall in that place, and there is no need to spend so much money to build a fort." ”

"Without the protection of the fort, I always feel unsafe, and I can't sleep well."

"Then build the small forts after the side walls are built, the main thing is psychological, soon we will clean up the small tribes around us, no one will come to sneak attack at all, if the Mongolian army comes, even if there is a fort, it can't be defended, besides, we won't put the enemy so close in the future."

Feng Youcai thought about it, he still had to establish a pasture in the Tanxi area, and he also had to build a few forts in the east of the river, this would be his hinterland in the future, how could the enemy easily get here.

Zhang Yang thought about it for a while and said: "Young master, I don't think there is a need to build a fort, and the military camp is directly built on the Iron Mountain, so that it can also take into account the rocky beaches in the west, and the military camp is less vulnerable to attack on the Iron Mountain, which is equivalent to building a Great Wall." ”

Feng Youcai thought about it and felt that Zhang Yang's strategy was indeed good, so he decided to build a side wall first, and then build the military camp on the Iron Mountain.

When the heavy troops were systematically composed, Feng Youcai and Zhang Yang looked at the map and made the final positioning of the construction location, and also determined the location of the military camp construction and the roads up and down.

Zhang Yang said again: "The young master's decision is true, and he doesn't negotiate with me in advance, what are you doing with heavy soldiers, since you want to keep it secret, aren't there still tens of thousands of soldiers in the system?" These people can also participate in the construction of the border wall and the barracks, and they are idle anyway, and the strength of these people is much greater than that of the baggage soldiers, so it is not very easy to do these jobs. ”

Feng Youcai said: "The construction should still be based on the baggage and heavy soldiers, and the troops are only assisting, this time the situation is special, and it happens that the soldiers have nothing to do. After the construction of the side wall, it is necessary to build a pasture in the west area of the beach, and heavy soldiers are still needed. ”

"It's good that you decide."

On February 27, Feng Youcai came to the foot of the Iron Mountain, ready to start the construction of the side wall, in the narrowest place, the length of more than 500 meters, but also to extend a distance to the slope, the design of the bottom width of 6 meters, the top width of 3 meters, the height of 7 meters, on the top set up beacon tower, rest room, observation platform and other buildings.

A senior architect was specially synthesized, who was responsible for directing the construction, and the army had a team of 1,000 people each time, taking turns to participate in the construction, changing shifts every 5 days, and sent a light cavalry team of 100 people to patrol and guard the surroundings.

When the project is completed, there will be a very large pit in the north, and then fill the pit with water, which can effectively prevent the Mongols from attacking the city, so that their large army can not be deployed at all, and if a small number of troops are put in, it will be easy to be wiped out.

The first day's work was mainly to clear the ground and build the foundation, which is the foundation of the entire building. In the future, it was easy to perform rammed earth construction on the foundation.

Due to the use of the army to participate in the construction, Feng Youcai did not use the system warehouse anymore, otherwise it would be very troublesome to clean up the warehouse, and there is no place to store the materials in the warehouse temporarily.

The army is mainly responsible for digging and transporting earth, and the baggage soldiers are mainly responsible for tamping and controlling the quality of construction.

Now that spring has just come and winter has just left, the frozen ground is just very soft, and the dryness and wetness of the soil are also suitable for digging the soil.

Now Zhenguanbao is also under the command of the new Beicheng District Deputy Qianhu continues to raise the city wall, this time the hired workers are few, and those rescued slaves who have not yet joined the army are the main force of this time to raise the city wall.

If the grain is not planted well in the spring, it will be delayed for a whole year, only by letting them plant the land, and the family will have no worries, so that they can better participate in the construction and training.

In the past few days, Feng Youcai took advantage of the time to Yinchuan and Xi'an to deliver grain, and instructed the local supervisor to increase the recruitment of displaced people, but it is better to have a shortage than an abundance, but in the recruitment of displaced people, the requirements of herding and veterinarians have been added, the main livestock are sheep, cattle and horses, family members can arrange work, children can go to school, etc., these professionals will be in the Tanxi area for Feng Youcai to graze, now we must make preparations first.

The governor of Ningxia and the prefect of Xi'an gave full support to the recruitment of displaced people, which was the greatest support for their own work, and also made the relationship between the local grain store and the government closer. It was a good friendship with the local troops at the beginning, and now it has a good relationship with the government, which is a surprise. Moreover, because of the relief of the Sihai Grain Store to the disaster victims and the recruitment of displaced people, the local people are also willing to buy food from the Sihai Grain Store, not to mention that the food in the Sihai Grain Store is not expensive, even if it is a kind of relief for the disaster victims. Invisibly, Sihai Grain Store has become the largest grain store in Xi'an, and other grain stores have grown up completely before they can fight back.

Now that the business of the grain store has gradually entered the formalization, Feng Youcai can be regarded as having a stable source of income.

Except for delivering food every few days, the rest of the time is spent on building the side wall of the Iron Mountain, with which he will be much safer psychologically. Due to the participation of so many troops, the construction progress is very fast, and it is estimated that it will be completed in more than 30 days.
