The two highest civil and military governors of Quang Ninh Province sipped their tea, and their faces became more and more pale.

According to the current inference, Zhu Cizhi's place is most likely to be the hinterland of the Liaodong Peninsula on the other side of the bay.

"General Zhou, let's do our best and obey the destiny of heaven...... Arrange for his subordinates to do their best to secretly find His Royal Highness the Eternal King. ”

"Even if we can't find it, Your Majesty can't punish us with death."

"After all, the imperial court doesn't know that our Quang Ninh Mansion will ...... Moreover, His Royal Highness King Yong has indeed never set foot in our Quang Ninh Mansion. ”

The implication of Gao Ping's words is already extremely obvious.

If the imperial court is held accountable, I don't know that the four princes will come to Guangning Mansion; Second, he did not admit that His Royal Highness King Yong had set foot on the boundary of Quang Ninh Province, but directly boarded the boat to break the waves and went straight to the hinterland of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Shift the blame to the net.

Even if the court blames them, at most they will be removed from their positions, and they will not be killed.

As long as you don't lose your life, you can do whatever it takes.

Anyway, now the world of chaos is about to begin.

As the last state capital that the imperial court can control outside the Guan, sooner or later it will become the front line of the devastation.

Recall and recall.

In this hellish place, the people are poor, and the war is about to begin.

dismissed them as soon as possible, and let the two of them hide in the hinterland of Daming justifiably, maybe they can save their lives and their families in the troubled times.

……

Three days later.

The changes in Yangguanbao are already visible to the naked eye.

First of all, the grain within a radius of 100 miles has been purchased.

Any useful animal skins, iron utensils, and all kinds of tools were purchased at a large amount of money and entered the Yangguan Fort.

Secondly, half of the houses in Yangguanbao were purchased by Zhu Cizhi with a lot of money and became a temporary residence for more than 1,000 people under his command...... After dealing with the five hundred soldiers and horses attracted by Zhao Aotian, Zhu Cizhi will definitely overturn and rebuild the entire Yangguan Fort housing, and now he can let his people settle down for the time being.

Finally, the city was built.

With Yangguan Fort as the center, simple sentry posts have been built on the mountains, roads, and wilderness that extend outward for more than ten miles.

Using the flag language taught by Zhu Cizhi as a medium, a simple but extremely durable surveillance system was formed.

In the mountain pass on the north side of Yangguan Fort, the simple walled wall is also gradually taking shape.

To put it simply, after cutting down the stout trees, removing the branches and buds, digging deep pits and burying them in two rows, and then piling up soil and rocks.

In the middle of two rows of thick trees, wooden planks were erected for soldiers to hide behind the wall and shoot and throw stones at the incoming enemy.

Meantime.

The hired residents of Yangguanbao, craftsmen collected from the surrounding villages and towns, worked non-stop to forge all kinds of armor, weapons, sasswood, and arrows.

The whole Yangguan Fort is thriving, and there is a bit of the prototype of the base.

"Your Highness, the sentry has come to report, there is an army of more than 500 people coming from the northwest, and the leader is Yang Aotian."

When Zhu Cizhi was inspecting Yangguan Fort in full swing, Li Guanglai reported.

"Oh?"

"It's here after all."

"Order, convene a pre-war military conference."

A few quarters of an hour later.

In the town office, which has been temporarily converted into a command room, more than a dozen leading generals gathered.

Li Guang, centurion of the cavalry battalion, Zhang Xiaoyi, centurion of the field battalion, Zhang Zheng, centurion of the first scout battalion, He Qi, centurion of the second scout battalion, Wu Ding, centurion of the third scout battalion, Qian Qi, centurion of the fourth scout battalion, Zheng Weifu, centurion of the fifth scout battalion who temporarily played the role of baggage battalion, and several commanders in charge of logistics and craftsmen.

These people are the core team of Zhu Cizhi at present, and they are also the backbone of the entire Yangguanbao base.

Looking at the rudimentary team, Zhu Cizhi's mood was much more stable than a few days ago.

"General Li, you will introduce the specific situation to everyone."

Li Guang received the order and began to introduce the current situation.

"Returning to Your Highness...... Ladies and gentlemen, the watchtower in front reported that there were about 550 enemies who had set off from the capital of Fuzhou. ”

Among them, 500 soldiers are the main force, and they are Han soldiers...... In addition, outside this main force of 500 people, there were post-50s golden cavalry scattered in the forest and came towards Yangguan Fort. ”

"At present, it is less than fifty miles away from Yangguan Fort...... It is estimated that at nightfall, it will arrive outside the walled gate. ”

Boy.

500 Han soldiers in the Ming Dynasty.

The post-50s golden cavalry is in the dark.

Even a fool can see that Fuzhou Fucheng has colluded with the Houjin bandits.

This trip was not to welcome His Royal Highness King Yongwang at all, escorting Zhu Cizhi to the capital of Fuzhou to become a vassal at all.

Instead, the four princes of the Ming Dynasty were taken away and given to Huang Taiji as a gift.

Since you have wolf ambitions, then don't blame Zhu Cizhi for killing you all and killing a piece of armor.

"General Li Guang, you lead 20 cavalry under your command and hide in the forest 5 miles outside the walled city, first, to guard against the Houjin cavalry, and second, to follow and kill when Zhao Aotian's army is defeated."

"Zhang Xiaoyi, you and your 30 soldiers will show up in the open and let the enemy paralyze and despise them."

"The other five centurions, waiting for the soldiers under their command to put down what they were doing, gathered together, and hid in the mountains...... When the king's order is issued, he will rush out and kill all the scum who collude with foreign thieves. ”

"Yes."

"Whoa."

"Your Highness, rest assured, your subordinates will arrange it."

This will be Zhu Cizhi's first battle after penetrating deep into the Liaodong Peninsula, and he must fight beautifully.

After defeating Zhao Aotian, it is necessary to consider the issue of development.

Looking at the system panel that still looked extremely shabby, Zhu Cizhi had a headache.

Just commanding and deploying more than 600 troops was hard enough, and if it was to develop normally, it would definitely be even more annoying to him in all aspects.

We have to find a way to recruit a few civil officials.

But.

Zhu Cizhi currently only has a mere Yangguan Fort in his hands, let alone recruiting civil officials who can handle government affairs, and there are few people who can read and write words.

Alas.

We have to hurry up.

Only by having a sufficient population, or laying down a decent county seat or even a capital city like Fuzhou, can we recruit scholars.

……

In the evening.

The sunset dyed red for a long time.

Zhao Qianmu, who had no medical treatment for several days, was already dying.

Well.

I hope this kid can last until nightfall, when his brother Zhao Aotian is in the city.

It is a good choice to take this guy who colluded with the Houjin bandits and robbed and killed the people of the Ming Dynasty to sacrifice the flag.

……

The night was dark.

Zhu Cizhi looked at the moonlight and estimated that it was more than ten o'clock.

Li Guang and his cavalry were already in ambush in the woods outside the walled city, and the 560 recruits from the 1st to 5th Scout Battalions were hiding on the walled walls and on the pass hills on both sides of the gate.

On several bonfires, there are simple iron barbecue grills built according to Zhu Cizhi's requirements.

On the grill, there is a heap of sizzling pork.

Zhang Xiaoyi, the centurion of the field camp, led 30 soldiers to either sit on the ground and eat barbecue, or sit lazily on the ground in groups of three or five.

And Zhu Cizhi was served by the maid Zhang Xiaodie, drinking wine and eating meat with taste.

The whole of the prince went out on an outing with dozens of waste subordinates.

They waited quietly and patiently.
