Because he thought that there were many things waiting for him to be busy in the future, basically, Nie Zheng didn't close his eyes much all night. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

finally survived until dawn, Nie Zheng immediately turned over and got up, and then shouted loudly to the outside: "Someone! ”

"Yes, big handsome!"

After several guards outside the door heard the call, they hurriedly rushed into the house, bowed and saluted, "What do you command?" ”

Nie Zheng glanced at them and said, "Go and inform Xu Shijie and Shi Zheng immediately that they are coming to see me." ”

"Yes, Dashuai!"

After receiving the order, several guards immediately went down to comply.

It didn't take long for more than a dozen leaders, including Xu Shijie, Xue Changsheng and Shi Zheng, who were in charge of city defense affairs, to rush to the study of Jinlin Garden with expressions on their faces.

After Shi Zheng, Xu Shijie and other leaders entered the study, they came to Nie Zheng's desk, and saluted one after another: "My subordinates pay a visit to the marshal, I don't know if the marshal summoned me and others to come, what important things do you order?" ”

Behind the desk, Nie Zheng looked at everyone with a serious expression, muttered for a moment, and said: "Brothers, we have recently received information that Sang Kang, the king of Dayue, may personally lead the elite army during this time to attack our Yangzhou, I don't know if you know this news?" ”

"I know, Mr. Yi has already told his subordinates and others about this yesterday." The crowd nodded, indicating that they knew about it.

Nie Zheng nodded and said: "It's good to know, from now on, we must be vigilant and prepare for war, because the Dayue people may come to the city at any time, and in this extraordinary period, we must do a good job of prevention." ”

Hearing this, he was in charge of the administration of the southern city defense, and suddenly spoke: "Marshal, since Sang Kang may lead a large army to attack Yangzhou at any time, should we send additional troops and horses to the eight county towns under the rule of Yangzhou?" After all, there are only less than 300 people in those counties, and in case the Dayue people really come to attack, their subordinates are worried that the city defense forces of those counties will be a little unable to support them. ”

Nie Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "Send troops to strengthen the defense of several other counties, this is definitely needed, but it will take a few days to do it, in the near future, I am going to reorganize and train an army, and wait until this new army is almost trained, and then make plans and arrangements." ”

Shi Zheng nodded, and did not say anything more.

At this time, in order to implement the battle plan in his heart as soon as possible, Nie Zheng stopped talking nonsense and directly ordered: "Brothers, I summoned you here today, there are two very important things that I want you to do. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone surrendered their hands and asked: "Although the commander commands, we will do it according to the requirements of the commander." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction, looked at Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie who were standing at the front, and then quickly ordered: "Shi Zheng!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"After you go down, immediately record all the people in the city who have the strength of more than one rank in the city, record their martial arts cultivation in detail, and then make a list for me according to their rank, remember, there must be a list of all the samurai from the first rank to the eighth rank, and not a single one can be missed."

Shi Zheng was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Nie Zheng meant by suddenly asking him to count the list of all the warriors, but despite the doubts in his heart, he still quickly gave up his hand and said, "Yes, Dashuai!" ”

With that, he led several leaders and left Jinlin Garden in a hurry.

After they left, there were only Xu Shijie and Xue Changsheng left in the study.

At this time, Nie Zheng cast his eyes on Xu Shijie's body again, and ordered in a deep voice: "Xu Shijie! ”

"The subordinates are here!"

"After you go down, you must select 10,000 strong and quick-witted brothers from among the people and horses inside our Dragon and Tiger Mountain in the shortest possible time, and let them assemble outside the North City Gate early the day after tomorrow, and when the time comes, I will arrange for them to conduct firearms training."

Hearing this, everyone's spirits perked up, and they hurriedly bowed their hands and said, "Obey, handsome!" ”

Seeing this scene, Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand, and said, "Hurry up and do it, remember, you must be fast, otherwise, it will drag on for a long time, and I am afraid that there will not be enough time for training." ”

Xu Shijie grinned and said, "Don't worry, Dashuai, before dark tomorrow, your subordinates will definitely do what you order." ”

"That's great!"

After Xu Shijie was ordered to leave, now, in the study, only Xue Changsheng and several other leaders remained.

Nie Zheng slowly set his eyes on Xue Changsheng's body, fed and groaned for a moment, and said, "Xue Changsheng!" ”

"The subordinates are here!"

Xue Changsheng took a deep breath, walked quickly to the desk, and bowed, "Commander, please command." ”

Nie Zheng said lightly: "You wait and discuss with Jia Xiufang, let him transfer some silver money from the treasury, recruit some laborers in the city at that time, and go to the wilderness outside the north city gate to build a temporary shooting range." ”

"Shooting range?"

Xue Changsheng was stunned for a moment, and said puzzledly: "What is the shooting range?" ”

Nie Zheng shook his head, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, how to do it, I'll go over and teach you in person." ”

Hearing this, Xue Changsheng nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, Dashuai, then the subordinates will go and gather people now......

………………

The sun passed noon, outside the North City Gate.

At this moment, Nie Zheng stood on top of the North City Tower under the hot sun, but his eyes were set on a wilderness several miles away from the city.

In the wilderness outside the northern city, Xue Changsheng led thousands of people, and was busy in the wide and flat wilderness.

At this time, according to Nie Zheng's request, they were preparing to temporarily build a simple military training ground in the wilderness outside the northern city.

In the training ground that was beginning to take shape, everyone was sweating like rain, shouting, laughing and scolding, and there was a lively scene.

I saw thousands of strong men, under the command of Xue Changsheng and other leaders, nailing round target plates into the ground one by one according to the prescribed area.

At the same time, several leaders led hundreds of elite laborers, carrying sacks full of dirt, sand and gravel, and built a series of rudimentary defensive fortifications in the training ground.

In addition to these, there are more than 1,000 other people who are constantly driving oxen, horses, mule carts, and dragging and dropping truckloads of wood, masonry, and other building materials to the edge of the training ground.

In order to build a training ground outside the northern city as soon as possible, Nie Zheng had already discussed with Jia Xiufang in the morning, and asked him to issue an announcement, and then recruited a large number of craftsmen from Yangzhou City, such as mud, stone, tile, wood, and iron, and everyone worked together to build a military training ground with a radius of several kilometers as soon as possible according to Nie Zheng's drawings.

Anyway, in the morning, Nie Zheng had already given an order to everyone that the military training ground must be completed before dark tomorrow.

However, judging from the current progress of the project, it seems that there is no big problem.

After all, building a simple military training ground is not a complicated project, and with the large number of residents in the city, it is not easy to recruit laborers.

Many of the people in the city were supposed to serve as laborers, but Nie Zheng considered that it was spring and the people also had a lot of farm work to do, so he took some money from the treasury to compensate the people who were recruited.

To tell the truth, these people who participated in labor labor, they didn't think that they would be paid before, but after Xue Changsheng and other leaders told everyone the news, everyone was ecstatic, and they worked harder and harder.

Looking at the busy appearance of the people outside the city, Nie Zheng was very satisfied with the work performance of these strong laborers.

Now that the military training ground is in full swing, the next question is how to restore the city protection array.

Standing on top of the city tower, it has been almost an hour, but there is still no response from the five-leaf view.

Immediately, Nie Zheng couldn't help frowning, looked at a guard guarding beside him, and casually ordered: "You go to Wuye Guan again to see why Wu Sanren hasn't come over yet." ”

When the guard heard this, he nodded respectfully and said, "Obey, big handsome!" ”

With that, he put the handle of his sword in his hand and rushed down the tower with great speed.

However, not long after he left the city tower, in the distance, several guards reported loudly: "Report to the commander, Wu Sanren asks to see!" ”

"Hurry up and let him come up to me."

Soon, Nie Zheng heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the left side of the city tower, and after a while, he saw Wu Xuanyin, who was wearing a yellow robe, and rushed to Nie Zheng with an anxious face.

"Junior...... No, no...... Wu Xuanyin, a subordinate, has seen the big handsome, I don't know what the big handsome subordinates came to order? ”

This Wu Xuanyin is also sensible, since he saw the strength of the peerless master, he is the little brother who is determined to be a master, and now when he sees Nie Zheng, he is no longer even called Poor Dao, and directly calls himself a subordinate like Shi Zheng and Xu Shijie.

Nie Zheng turned his head to look at him, and found that when he faced himself now, he seemed to be more respectful than before, especially in his dark yellow triangular eyes, when he looked at himself, there was a light of worship all the time.

His pious and respectful attitude made Nie Zheng very useful, and this kind of dark feeling could not be brought by ordinary subordinates.

Therefore, unconsciously, Nie Zheng's gaze at him became more and more pleasing to the eye.

Nie Zheng looked at him with a gentle expression, and said lightly: "Sanren's injury, how has he recovered recently?" ”

Wu Xuanyin arched his hand and said respectfully: "Thanks to the great handsome's love, after taking the precious medicinal materials sent by the big handsome in the past few days, the damaged meridians in the body have improved greatly, and it is estimated that it will be cured in a few days at most." ”

Hearing this, Nie Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's very good." By the way, I have summoned you today, and I want you to do something important. ”

Wu Xuanyin nodded without thinking about it: "Where you need the service of your subordinates, the marshal can give orders." ”

Nie Zheng glanced at him deeply, and said slowly: "Can this protective array outside our Yangzhou City still play a role?" ”
