Chapter 45: The Castle is Completed

Back at Jingbian Fort, Wang Dou and the others still had a thrilling feeling.

However, since that day, neither the residents of Jingbianbao nor Xinzhuang have seen Xu Yue'e, and they don't know where she went.

Due to the transportation of iron materials from Shunxiang Fort, Li Maosen immediately led the blacksmiths in the fort to start making armor.

At the end of April of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Lu Baozhong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, sent people to report the import of Yiren several times, but he did not explain what tribe, how many people were numbered, what kind of attack was made, and how Xuanzhen raised troops to block the imperial situation. At the beginning of May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department, was ordered to apply for Lu Baozhong's punishment and ordered him to pass through the forts on great alert.

In Jingbian Fort, the fort wall was built from the middle of February of the eighth year of Chongzhen, and there were some dingkou in the middle to work in the fields, and in mid-May, the fort wall of Jingbian Fort was finally built.

The circumference of the whole fort is about more than 600 meters, it is a traditional square, and the whole body is rammed with loess, and it is not covered with bricks. The northern ends of the fort wall are connected to the horse circle wall of Jingbian pier, which happened to be used for watching. At the same time, the urn city outside the south gate is also built, and there is also a moat with a depth of three meters and a width of six meters.

It is a pity that the battle outside the Jingbian Fort, as well as the women's wall on the castle wall and other facilities have not yet been built, so they have to wait until the autumn to build again. Moreover, Wang Dou is also thinking about building some underground tunnels in the fort in the future.

After the fort was completed, the safety of everyone was guaranteed, Wang Douxian's densely rammed fort wall was very strong, because it was also poured with some tung oil, he was surprised to estimate that the fort wall was even stronger than the concrete of later generations.

The fort wall of Jingbian Fort is ten meters high, the fort wall of each border town of Daming is generally six to fourteen meters high, and the fort wall of Jingbian Fort is ten meters high, which is considered to be decent.

The city gate built at the southern end of Jingbian Fort was made of stone blocks and was named "Yongning Gate", and the inner gate was named "Yongtai Gate". At the upper end of the fort gate, there is a stone plaque inlaid with a stone plaque, the middle is shallow carved in regular script "Jingbian Fort" three big characters, the left and right sides of the big character are vertically engraved in regular script, which records the time of building the fort, the generals, craftsmen and other deeds.

At this time, Jingbian Fort had 100 military households and more than 400 mouths, but it was still easy to live in the fort.

For these recruits, Wang Dou still let them learn to stand in line first, in order to better train them, Wang Dou selected some veterans to mix in, in order to better drive the newcomers.

Gao Shiyin and Zhong Tiaoyang can finally lead the troops, naturally they are very happy, and the styles of these two people are completely different. Although Zhong Tiaoyang is a private household, everyone knows that he is Wang Dou's cousin, and with his great skills, naturally there is no military household who is unconvinced. Moreover, he also leads by example, trains with everyone, and is a steady and kind person, and is very loved by the sergeants.

However, Gao Shiyin is different, his style is similar to Han Zhong, and his temper is more tyrannical, and he likes to beat poorly trained soldiers with his fists, which makes his sergeants on his team fear him. However, under his beating and scolding, the results of this team of soldiers were very good.

Han Chao can finally train him for the night.

This night is not closed, in the Ming Dynasty whether it is along the border, along the coast or in the interior of the country. Most of the people who are selected are strangers who can fly the eaves and walk the wall, or have all kinds of murder and arson, and even require those who know astronomy and are good at waiting. In the army, in addition to going out to investigate, he often took on various tasks such as burning wasteland, surprise raids or robbing camps because of his high skills and familiarity with geography.

And in the border town of Daming, there is a kind of more elite sentry than the night does not collect, these sentry whistles, often have to go far out of the plug, thousands of miles of sentry to probe the enemy's situation, stay in the enemy territory for several months, and the places are inaccessible, so it is necessary to be alert and vigorous, and people with courage must be.

In addition to their high skills, many of them are also proficient in several foreign languages, such as the Korean and Korean brothers, both of whom are proficient in Mongolian, and in addition to some simple Jurchen languages.

If these people are trained well, Wang Dou will have a group of outstanding sentry agents and intelligence eyes. He's certainly a big supporter.

Wang Dou delegated power to Han Chao and asked him to select six people from the five teams of soldiers as his subordinates, including four veterans and two recruits.

Wang Dou was fortunate enough to see Han Chao training his subordinates, and he couldn't help but be eye-opening ().

Han Chao's six subordinates, including veterans, three were guilty of night blindness, and Han Chao didn't say a word, so he found a few pairs of chicken livers, pig livers, and a few live tadpoles for the three of them to swallow. All three of them were pale and a little hesitant.

Han Chao said sharply: "We don't collect sergeants at night, we often go to various sentry posts at night, and in the future, we are often selected to dare to die and attack the camp at night. ”

forced the three of them to swallow tadpoles and other things alive.

Since then, Han Chao has taken the six-person Shenlong to see the tail, and often does not know where to go, and Wang Dou is also relieved to be trained by Han Chao.

Those newcomers, led by the elderly, queued up for learning stations very quickly.

And those veterans, Wang Dou also added new training content to them.

Old White Cow:

If I wasn't in a good state today, I changed it, and it was late, sorry. At present, the biological clock is disrupted again, and I always have insomnia, and I miss the regular life of going to bed at 10 o'clock at night and waking up at 5 o'clock in the morning.

In addition: Huimo Chen Nanyuan Zimei Mu Shuyou: From the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the border towns of the Ming Dynasty usually implemented the parallel system of guards and battalions. Hundreds of households, thousands of households have basically become official titles, and there is no real power and real position.

Taking Xuanfu Town as an example, a first-class commander should at least be selected from the small flag and the general flag of the guard. A management officer should be selected from at least 1,000 households or 100 households. A defense officer and an ethics officer must be selected from at least 1,000 households, the guard commander, and the guard commander. A garrison, at least from the guard commander, all command the officer. As for the general soldier of a town, it is already the level of the governor of the governor's mansion.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no official position of the capital division, which was only established in the Qing Dynasty.
