"Building a city?"

Hearing his own coach's proposal, Mao Yuanyi was taken aback: "Why do you want to do this?" ”

"The slave chief suffered such a big loss, but at this time he did not move, because he wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Yang Chengying explained: "When they know that I have settled here, they will definitely send troops to attack to avenge the annihilation of the whole army." ”

The day after returning to Jinzhou City, Yang Chengying held a pre-military meeting to discuss the next move.

The reason why it is so urgent is not only the possible pressure of the troops in Houjin, but also the management of internal affairs, as well as the further reform of the army to improve combat effectiveness.

"With the current strength of our army, even if we can recover Fuzhou, we must divide our troops and station."

Ning Wan further analyzed: "But the forces we can use are really limited, and we can't divide the troops, and then we will be broken by the slave chiefs." ”

This analysis is reasonable, and everyone will nod their heads in approval.

Fang Zhenru frowned and said, "Then where does the general plan to build the city?" ”

Yang Chengying picked up the baton, pointed to the map, slowly went up from Jinzhou City, crossed Shiheyi, and then stopped.

Everyone looked at it, and it was a small place called Xintun.

Fuzhou and Jinzhou border here, the north belongs to Fuzhou, and the south belongs to Jinzhou.

Since the fall of Fuzhou and even Jiang Chaodong came to Jinzhou, this junction line naturally does not exist.

"There's a Tartar River here, and you can divert water to make a moat. Further west is Tartar Bay, which is not easy for Houjin to cross. ”

Yang Chengying continued to introduce the geographical environment: "To the east is a high mountain, which is not convenient for the army to march. Moreover, we can build traps in these areas to keep the slaves from penetrating. ”

Most areas of eastern Liaodong have not been developed at this time, and it is not a beautiful thing to drill the forest without anything.

Snakes, insects, rats, ants, and beasts attack people.

"What kind of city are we going to build?" Zu Tianshou asked curiously.

"It's very simple, a city where the Hongyi cannon can be placed on the city."

Yang Chengying said: "Make full use of the power and range of the cannon, and let the slave chief drink a pot." ”

Hearing this, Sun Yuanhua had an eyebrow.

It turned out that he wanted to implement a strategy of defending as an offense, so that Jinzhou could survive the first year safely, accumulate a large amount of food, and at the same time have time to expand the army and training.

This errand is my own responsibility.

"If you really want to repair the city, Sun is willing to help."

Sun Yuanhua took the initiative to ask, "I have read Western books and know some castle construction methods, and I think that among you, there is no one more suitable than me." ”

There was a twinkle of confidence in his eyes.

The generals nodded one after another, and it was indeed him.

Yang Chengying also nodded, and asked again: "Who wants to go with Mr. Sun and build a castle." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the generals stood up.

"The last general is willing."

When the generals took a look, it turned out to be Jiang Chaodong.

Since the fall of Fuzhou, Jiang Chaodong has stayed in Jinzhou.

His soldiers and horses were all absorbed by Yang Chengying, and after dismissing the soldiers who were too poor in physical fitness, they were organized and trained into a new battalion.

The command is still in the hands of Jiang Chaodong.

But he didn't make an inch, which made him unable to raise his head in front of his colleagues.

So I held my breath and wanted to find a chance to prove myself.

"General Jiang is indeed the right person."

Yang Chengying nodded in approval: "You will take the old department and Mr. Sun to the north, and if there is an emergency military situation, send me a message immediately." ”

"The last will obey." Jiang Chaodong hugged his fists.

"General Peng brought artillery and went north with them."

Yang Chengying instructed again: "Training there, maybe it will come in handy occasionally." ”

"Order." Peng Qigu got up to take the order.

Some of the generals exchanged glances, and said in their hearts, why did the generals send new ones this time, and they didn't even install one or two descendant generals.

And there are no elite troops to go, what if the enemy in Gaizhou calls, and Jinzhou doesn't have time to react?

As a veteran general, Han Yunchao opened his mouth and finally swallowed the words back into his stomach.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the construction of the city is a big event, and I believe that General Jiang and Mr. Sun can complete it."

Yang Chengying changed his words, "I also have something to do with you, and you can't be disappointed." ”

"Command, General."

The generals said in unison.

"First, I'm going to test the training of each battalion, especially the recruit battalion, and you're ready."

Yang Chengying looked serious.

Zu Tianchun, who participated in the training of recruits, said loudly: "Please check at any time, the general." ”

"Good!" Yang Chengying said, "The second thing is that Fang Xun needs to cooperate with me. ”

Fang Zhenru is now in addition to his patrol status, and he is not able to command every soldier in Jinzhou.

In a slightly mocking tone, he asked, "What major events do you need me to come forward?" ”

Listen to this in reverse, that is, you have decided on the big things, and there are big things for me.

Yang Chengying could naturally hear it, and did not delve into it: "To appease the people and stabilize the major affairs of Jinzhou, it is natural that Fang Xunzhi personally needs to go out." ”

"Please."

"After all this time, I think the anger of the gentry and the big families should also be gone. I am going to gather them together and discuss a good way to settle the people. ”

and they will divide the land in the hands of the great households.

This was Fang Zhenru's first reaction.

But if you think about it, you really have to solve it quickly.

Since the fall of Fuzhou, people have fled one after another.

Previously, the old method had been to divide the barren land, and when the elderly went to Jishantang, women or girls who could work went to the nursery school, and boys went to the Infant Army.

However, due to the geographical environment, there are more and more people, and the land is divided less and less.

During this time, there was no way to lead the army north, so he could only hit the head of the gentry and big families.

"As a Liaodong patrol, I naturally have the responsibility of stabilizing the people."

Fang Zhenru frowned and said, "But aren't the gentry and big families the people of Jinzhou?" What if we force them to take refuge in the Slave Chieftain? ”

"If they had been rational, they would not have taken refuge in the slave chieftains. After all, the slave chieftains want their lives, and I only want their fields temporarily. Yang Chengying said.

"It's not a good thing to cut off people's money."

Fang Zhenru sighed helplessly.

This sentence reminded Yang Chengying.

These gentry and big families really cannot be underestimated.

Sun Ce in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms was attacked by someone and injured his face because he killed too many heroes, and finally died.

If you suppress yourself too much, it is indeed not a solution.

Yang Chengying thought for a while, but couldn't think of a good way, so he couldn't help but look at Ning Wan.

In terms of bad water in the stomach, I am the first to be the first.

"Get here here today, the generals will go back and prepare, and I will check it in the form of spot checks."

Yang Chengying said.

One after another, the generals left their seats and left.

Fang Zhenru didn't want Yang Chengying to not be able to get off the stage, so he left with interest.

Only Ning Wan understood very well and took the initiative to stay.

When the crowd walked away, Yang Chengying asked, "Mr. Ning, what do you say I should do?" ”

"There is a way, that is, I am afraid that the general will not use it."

A smile appeared on my face.

Yang Chengying suddenly sighed in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Could it be...... Kill people, right? ”

Ning Wan's smile froze instantly, I have always been such a person in the general's mind!
