After Wang Dayong, Huang Yang, Shi Gang and others led the three battalions to return victoriously, they did not mention how the civil and military generals in the rest of Datong Town were shocked, but only talked about the changes in Datong Town. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the one hand, the common people, military households, and people in Datong Town have been re-registered and naturalized, and as in the East Road, Xiao also distributed those people with more than two families to different lands, cattle, sheep, and seeds according to their numbers.

However, unlike at the beginning, this time all of them were only temporarily leased to these people, and considering the climate and other reasons, Xiao also implemented the policy of tax exemption in the first year, so that the people had surplus grain, and then gradually began to collect it according to the Ulzhou standard in the second year.

In this way, people's livelihood can also be restored quickly.

And Qi Haoguang was not idle, and Wang Xiong was responsible for rectifying the craftsmen in the town, while Qi Haoguang was responsible for the construction work around Datong Town.

For example, the new-style pier guards, waterwheels, irrigation wells, canals and other things around the town need to be managed by Qi Haoguang, and these things are completely dependent on craftsmen.

On the other hand, the nearby homeless people all came when they heard the news, and almost all of them with families were arranged to the fields and had a new life, and those who came alone Xiao Yi did not ignore it.

Anyone who wants to support himself can find a job to make a living in and out of the town, or be assigned to help with the construction, or go to various places to help build the factory.

The wages and wages of such complete hard work were not as good as those of the artisans, but although they were not much, they were a lot of money every month, and they were enough to maintain basic food and clothing for these celibates.

Although the military and civilian work in the town is nearing completion, there are still many displaced people and refugees who rush to hear the news every day, and these officials still cannot be idle.

At first, there were some complaints, but after Xiao Yi doubled the silver of each of them, the complaints suddenly decreased by half.

Xiao Yi has never been in arrears about silver and grain, and these officials are like being beaten with chicken blood when they hear it, and they don't feel tired when they sit in the wooden shed all day long.

In March of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Datong Town passed in a storm, and in the routine military assembly on April 1, Xiao Yizheng listened to everyone's progress report.

First of all, after continuous field investigations, Qi Haoguang dismantled hundreds of original imperial court fire piers within a radius of 100 miles from Datong Town.

Half of the troops stationed in these piers have long since disappeared, and the rest have no longer have any investigative effect, and it is inevitable to remove and replace them.

However, for those who still lived in it, Xiao also ordered that they and their families could live in the nearest village fort, and still retain the status of these dun soldiers, and the fields were also planned separately.

As a result, the dunn army lived better than before, and lived in the fort more safely, without any complaints.

Subsequently, Qi Haoguang used the stones and wood provided by these fire road piers to build one hundred and thirty-six new pier guards, if someone is interested in marking the location of these piers on the map, it can be found.

These guards are all surrounded by the town of Datong, layer upon layer, and it is impossible for any army to reach the town quietly under such a strict defense.

Xiao also set up a new type of dun guard to give up the defense and reconnaissance function of the early Ming Dynasty, such a dun guard cost a lot, the gain outweighed the loss.

On the contrary, the detection ability of the pier guard is exerted to the limit, each pier guard is divided into two layers, the upper layer is placed at the same time, and there is also a standing fast horse outside each pier, which is used to spread the enemy information to the town at any time.

There are only two sergeants in each pier and the sergeants in charge of each day are different, so they can immediately abandon the guards when they find the enemy.

Even if the enemy burned the Dunwei to Xiao Yi, the loss to Xiao Yi was very small, but it was clear which of the losses was more important than the information obtained.

Now these pier guards have long been popular in various parts of the East Road, which were designed by Xiao Yi himself earlier, and later transformed by the re-elected craftsmen, saving more raw materials, but the scope of investigation is wider.

On the high ground, such a small guard can scout a large area, and they are very densely defended against each other.

At the same time, the ditches and waterwheels inside and outside the city have been completed, which is not unrelated to Wang Xiong's vigorous rectification of the craftsmen.

In addition, Qi Haoguang and Wang Xiong excitedly recounted one thing.

It turned out that after exterminating the white mountain bandits, the sergeant of the first battalion who went into the mountain to search accidentally found a cave, and after daring to get in, he found that there was a hole inside.

Some of the sergeants who got into it had seen the appearance of the ochre ore produced in Ulzhou, and felt that it was very similar, and said that it was similar to Huang Yang.

Huang Yang was interested at that time, but there was no one in the army who accompanied the army, so he sent a sergeant to guard the cave before leaving.

After returning to the town, Huang Yang found an old craftsman, and Xu asked the old craftsman to go to the field for a field survey.

After the old craftsman came back, his face was full of red light, and he said a lot of words that Huang Yang didn't understand, what huge reserves, what color and luster are good, and so on.

However, when Huang Yang saw the appearance of the old craftsman, he also knew that he had picked up a treasure, and after giving him enough silver taels, he brought up the matter in a meeting half a month ago.

Today, Wang Xiong has just rushed back from the Nabai Mountaineering Ochre Mine, and his face is also full of excitement, this time the ochre mine is richer and the quality is better than that in Ulzhou.

Xiao Yi was also very surprised to hear that it was finally confirmed, the ochre mines in Ulzhou had just been fully mined a few months ago, although there were still a lot of armor and ordnance reserves in the armory.

Xiao Yi didn't say it, but he couldn't help but care.

These reserves seem to be a lot, but Xiao Yi knows very well that once a war starts, the loss is very huge, if there is no new supply, how long can this reserve last?

At that moment, Xiao Yi ordered Wang Xiong to secretly rush to Baishan Mountain, on the one hand, to build a withered and dilapidated pier guard outside the mountain to cover it, and to start building an ochre mine inside to mine non-stop.

After that, everything was in order, almost all of them had come to an end, and while all parties were complete, Xiao also paid attention to the report.

While the Liaodong Army was busy with rebellions in various parts of Denglai, Houjin was not idle.

After Jin returned to Dalinghe after Chongzhen's defeat in four years, he was recuperating and recuperating, and rarely invaded Dalinghe City again, but recently.

At one of Shengjing's court meetings, Dolgon laughed when he heard about the Denglai rebellion, and even said that heaven would help Dajin.

Dolgon was keenly aware of the opportunity to take advantage of it, and suggested on the spot that the time had come for a decisive battle with Lin Dan Khan.

However, the rest of the Baylor ministers of Houjin were not optimistic about this dispatch of troops, and expressed their opposition one after another, Chahar was far away from Shengjing, and the defeat of Linghe had to be guarded against at hand.

After the defeat, although Heshuo Belle Azig was demoted to an ordinary Baylor, his power in the hall was still very large, and both Azig and Turg resisted on the grounds that the two red flags and the two blue flag banners were sluggish and difficult to send troops.

However, Huang Taiji was very optimistic about this dispatch of troops, and tried his best to negotiate a strategy to recruit Lin Dan Khan.

So in March of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Huang Taiji Feiqi ordered the Mongolian tribes who had returned to Houjin to lead their followers.

At the same time that Xiao Yi and the generals were deliberating, the Zhutaiji of the western wing of Mongolia was also meeting with Huang Taiji on the banks of the Xilamulun River.

This time, Huang Taiji personally drove the expedition, and together with Dolgon, Haug, Azig, Abatai and other Baylor ministers, led two yellow flags, two white flags, a total of more than 40,000 Jurchen cavalry and Mongolian cavalry to meet on the bank of the Xilamulun River.

At this moment, the tribes gathered on the banks of the Xilamulun River include Korqin, Zalut, Bahrain, Naiman, Aohan, Kolaqin, Tumut, Alu Korqin, Wengniut, and Asuut.

At this moment, the people along the Xilamulun River were shouting and neighing, and at a glance, the number of dense cavalry was no less than 100,000.
