Chapter 298: Gathering
When Wu Nian came out of Beishan Fort and went non-stop to save Long Ji, it was still the end of the year. When he returned, it was already the beginning of the year.
It's just that the weather in the north is cold, although it is the beginning of the year, but there is still a long time before the beginning of spring. The rolling peaks outside the North Mountain Fort are still covered with a thick layer of snow.
However, the snow on the fields outside Beishan Fort has been cleared. Tents were erected, and many people lived in them.
There are militias maintaining order.
It's a matter of course. Beishan Fort is a hundred-household house, and the carrying capacity is limited. Although Wu Nian established a mountain city on the Mangya Mountain, he divided some people.
But at present, the population of Beishan Fort is at least 60,000, and even 70,000. Two cities alone could not accommodate so many people.
Temporarily settling outside the city and setting up tents to live in became the only way.
Wu Nian looked around and nodded with satisfaction. Although the population is extremely large, there is no chaos between these people's residences, Liu Zhixing is worthy of being a geek and doing a good job.
When Wu Nian led a large army to appear outside Beishan Fort, the people came forward one after another, men, women and children lined up on both sides of the road, bent down to welcome them.
The flag with the word "Wu" fluttered in the wind, so that the people knew who was coming.
Wu Nian, the general of the Fu Han Dynasty.
The general who brought them from Guangyang Mansion to Beishan Fort, from now on, they will rely on this big tree and fight the Mengyuan people to the end.
The word has spread.
Wu Nian and Wan Yan show their fighting generals, regardless of victory or defeat (officially promoted). Among the millions of Han people in Liaodong, there is finally such a hero.
Now the morale of the soldiers and civilians in Beishan Fort is higher than the sky.
Wu Nian drove the war horse, calmly rode through the people who welcomed the people in the middle of the road, and the soldiers who followed him were all holding their heads high, looking like they were "honored".
This is called the new atmosphere.
In the past. Liaodong Jiangmen is a local tyrant and inferior gentry who exploit the people in the locality, not to mention the situation between the army and the people, the people and the Liaodong Jiangmen are not opposed, and they are already burning high incense.
Under the rule of Wu Nian, Beishan Fort paid special attention to the situation of the military and civilians.
Being a soldier under Wu Nian is respected by the people and can produce a sense of glory. This sense of glory can make the soldiers have high morale and be fearless of death.
Soon after, Wu Nian rode a horse to the gate of the city, looked up, and Liu Zhixing and Li Yong led everyone in front of him, waiting for him.
Wu Nian turned over and dismounted, and walked up. The three people behind him, Long Ji, Liu Wu, and Wei Xiang, also turned over and dismounted, and followed with a smile.
"Congratulations to the general."
Liu Zhixing and Li Yong led everyone and saluted Wu Nian with fists.
"It's all my own brothers, you're welcome." Wu Nian was a brother when everyone was a brother, of course he wouldn't put on any official prestige, so he helped everyone up one by one with a smile on his face, then glanced at Li Yong and said, "Old Li." You look much better, and I'm relieved. ”
Before Liu Zhixing took office, Li Yong grabbed the military and politics, his busy feet did not touch the ground, the two dark circles under his eyes were very deep and deep, and he was also very thin.
Wu Nian was very worried.
"Thanks to Liu Changshi's blessing, I slept well and ate well. People are also fat. Li Yong glanced at Liu Zhixing and said to Wu Nian with a smile.
He admired Wu Nian very much, and he suspected that Liu Zhixing had no hair in his mouth and was not able to handle things well. Now it's so fucking fragrant.
Sure enough, professional things should be done by professional people. Now there are about 70,000 people inside and outside the city, and if you eat, drink, and let yourself be half a bucket of water pipes, I am afraid that I will not be able to save my old life.
"Hahaha." Wu Nian laughed, then patted Li Yong's shoulder, turned his head to look at Liu Zhixing, and seriously hugged his fists and saluted: "It's really hard, sir." ”
"It's not hard. Compared with the generals fighting outside, the humble position is easy. Liu Zhixing shook his head and said seriously.
This is from the bottom of my heart.
Although the good news from the front kept coming, conquering the two cities, bringing a large number of people and baggage, killing two Mengyuan commanders, and fighting with Wanyan Xian, and tied.
Victory after victory is indeed a morale boost. But it's also dangerous.
Ten thousand households in Mengyuan went south, and most of the millions of people in the entire Liaodong fell. What a strong military force, fighting against a general like Wan Yanxian is tantamount to walking on a cliff, and if you are not careful, you will be defeated and die.
Compared with Wu Nian's fighting outside, he manages civil affairs in Beishan Fort, which is simply a comfortable nest.
"Sir, don't be presumptuous. It is precisely because Mr. and Lao Li are in charge of the back that I can fight outside with peace of mind. We all have our own roles and we all have our own role to play. ”
Wu Nian shook his head seriously, stretched out his right hand and patted Liu Zhixing's shoulder, and had a positive attitude towards Liu Zhixing and Li Yong's contributions.
"Thank you, General." Liu Zhixing actually doesn't care whether the credit is credited or not, he aims to resist Mongolia, but he is always happy to be praised by others, so he can't help but smile and thank him.
Wu Nian greeted everyone for a while, and then let the team stay outside, and only entered the Beishan Fort City with important people and a small number of personal soldiers.
As soon as he entered Beishan Fort, Wu Nian noticed the difference. The road seems to be a little wider, and the buildings on both sides of the road are a little different from what I remember.
"Mr. rebuilt the North Hill Fort?" After Wu Nian looked around, he turned his head and said to Liu Zhixing.
"Yes, General. In order to allow the North Hill Fort to carry more people, I have made some renovations to it. For example, the yard of a single-door detached family has become smaller. The mansions that were originally two and three entrances were demolished. In order to facilitate the transfer of troops, I built the road wider. ”
"At present, Beishan Fort can accommodate 20,000 people, 2,000 troops, and it does not appear crowded."
Liu Zhixing nodded and said with a smile.
"Well, well done." Wu Nian nodded with satisfaction when he heard this. A castle like the North Hill Fort can carry a larger population, which is more conducive to defense.
That's a good thing.
On both sides of the road in the castle, there are also many people, who welcome Wu Nian. Occasionally, Wu Nian can also see familiar faces.
The military household of the northern mountain fort in the beginning.
Soon the road came to an end, and the Fuhan General's Mansion arrived. Wu Nian turned over and dismounted, entered the mansion with everyone, and sat down in the hall.
On the main Taishi chair, Wu Nian put his hands on the armrests, raised his head and looked at the backbones sitting on both sides.
There is a long history of Liu Zhixing, Sima Li Yong.
Long Ji, Zhang Jin, Wei Xiang, Tie Niu, Liu Wu, Chen Jiagui, Wang Gui, Zhang Sheng and other ten people.
As time passed, his team grew stronger. And the backbone is also growing.
Yes, it will work.
Recover Liaodong and expel the Tartars.
Wu Nian's tiger eyes flashed away, and his heart was full of confidence in the future.
