"All matters relating to the construction of new ships, as well as the construction of concrete roads and steam cars, are left to you, and if you don't understand anything, just ask."

"I will shoot another person to help, whether Lingnan can develop and become rich depends on how hard you work!"

Li Jing handed over everything to Feng Qi to do, and the site selection of the shipyard, waterway engineering team, and automobile factory was all handed over to Feng Qi, and whether he could do it well was Feng Qi's business.

Anyway, everything that should help him has been given, and even the construction drawings have been given to Feng Qi without reservation, if he can't make any achievements, it has nothing to do with him!

"The minister will not disappoint the high hopes of the saint!"

Feng Qi repeatedly promised, bowed, and left.

Next, Feng Qi summoned the governors of Lingnan to come to the Governor's Mansion to hold a development plan for the development of Lingnan!

After many meetings and discussions, it was finally unanimously decided to determine where the shipyard and automobile factory would be located, and then the states would come up with some money and grain, and everyone would work together to change the economic development of Lingnan.

Shipyards and automobile factories are under construction, and cement roads are being laid rapidly from Guangzhou to surrounding states and counties.

For several days, everyone was working in full swing, working in two shifts day and night, just to complete the construction period as soon as possible and put it into production and use.

……

In the morning, Li Jing was about to go out for a walk, and as soon as he went out, he saw a fast horse galloping over, with a wounded soldier on the horse's back, and the horse stopped in front of the governor's mansion.

The guard at the gate immediately stepped forward, got the man on horseback down, and one of them led the horse away.

"Quick, report to the governor, Lingbei Mountain has rebelled!"

The soldier said.

"What's going on?"

Li Jing hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

The soldier who reported the news looked at Li Jing, turned his head to look at the robe beside him, and wondered in his heart who was the person who asked the question?

It doesn't look like an official in Lingnan, such a major event as a mountain bandit rebellion can't be said to the people in front of him, so he still has to report to the governor quickly and let the governor send troops to encircle and suppress.

If he hadn't been injured and physically exhausted now, he would have beaten the handsome guy in front of him a long time ago, and he would have dared to block 100,000 urgent official duties, and he would have looked for death!

Do you think you can do whatever you want because you're handsome? Dare to block the emergency military situation, no matter how handsome you look, you will still lose your head!

"Hurry up and help me to see the governor, this matter can't be delayed, 100,000 urgent!"

The messenger urged the robe, not wanting to waste time here.

"This is His Majesty the Emperor!"

The guard who helped him whispered, lest he suffer unjustified calamity because of his rudeness!

The messenger was shocked when he heard this!

I didn't expect that the young and handsome man in front of me was actually His Majesty the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty!

"See His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Okay, tell me what happened, what the hell is going on with the bandits?"

Li Jing stretched out his hand to stop him from saluting, wondering what was going on with the mountain bandit rebellion?

"Here's the thing, that's it......"

The soldiers told Li Jing about the situation of the mountain bandits, and even when and where the mountain bandits appeared, where they finally attacked, and so on.

"Help him down to heal his wounds and convene the generals to discuss the matter!"

Li Jing knew that the matter was urgent, and after ten days, the mountain bandits would concentrate their forces to attack Shaozhou, and with the little strength of Shaozhou, it was unlikely that they could hold it.

"No!"

The forbidden army took the order and left.

Li Duozuo, Lou Shide, Yang Siqiao and other generals were all called to the lobby to discuss the plan of action to send troops to exterminate the mountain bandits!

After some discussion, everyone did not come up with a feasible plan, Guangzhou and Shaozhou are separated by 300 miles, and they think that it is not feasible to arrive within ten days.

The main thing is that everyone is not familiar with the terrain, coupled with the mountainous forests in Lingnan, among the mountain forests, there are many mountain insects and leeches, which are easy to climb in and bite along the trouser legs, and are easy to be scratched by the thorn branches in the mountain forest.

As a result, it was impossible to rush to Shaozhou for reinforcements in a short period of time, and I was afraid that by the time they arrived, the mountain bandits would have already run away.

It is also unsafe to take the mountain road, and it is easy to lose the soldiers, and I am afraid that before we arrive in Shaozhou, we will begin to reduce the number of troops, and even if we arrive, the morale will be low, which will lead to low combat effectiveness.

In this case, let alone exterminate the mountain bandits, it would be good if you could not be defeated by the mountain bandits!

"Sage, it's better to call the governor of Guangzhou, the Feng family is a Lingnan clan, living in Lingnan, and he is more familiar with the situation in Lingnan than us, he may have a way to say it!"

Lou Shide recommended Feng Qi to Li Jing, and only the locals can understand the locals, and if you want to exterminate the mountain bandits, you still need to rely on the government of Lingnan.

"Now it's the only way to go, Suxuan Feng Qi came to discuss the military aircraft matter!"

Li Jing nodded and ordered someone to invite Feng Qi over.

Feng Qi, who got the letter, quickly rushed over.

"Feng Qi, there is a mountain bandit rebellion in Lingbei, what do you think should be done?"

Li Jing told Feng Qi about the situation of the mountain bandits and asked Feng Qi if there was a solution.

"These mountain bandits are Shanyue barbarians, they have always been greedy and cruel, since my great-grandfather Feng Anshi, these Shanyue barbarians have brutalized countless people, and Weichen's great-ancestor has been encircled and suppressed several times, but they have not succeeded!"

Feng Qi looked at the map, and when he heard Li Jing say this, he knew that the mountain bandits belonged to that part, and introduced to everyone the origin of the mountain bandits and why they could cause trouble in Lingbei.

"Why can't Geng Guogong exterminate this gang of mountain bandits?"

Yang Siqiao raised his eyebrows and asked.

You must know that the Feng family has been operating in Lingnan for several generations, and their prestige in Lingnan is very high, and Feng Ang personally led the troops to exterminate the mountain bandits, and some of them are unreasonable.

Yang Siqiao even doubted that it would be the Feng family that colluded with the mountain bandits to play a trick of self-respect for the imperial court!

"I don't know much about this, but I heard my grandfather say when I was a child that in addition to being greedy and cruel, Shanyue Barbarians are also very cunning, plus they are familiar with the mountains and forests of Lingbei, and several encirclements and suppressions have allowed them to escape with the help of the terrain."

"Back then, my great-grandfather went with an army of 30,000 to suppress the bandits, and he lost thousands of people along the way, and his morale was so low that he couldn't fight at all.

Feng Qi told what he knew, and also explained why his great-grandfather Feng Ang was unable to exterminate the mountain bandits back then.

It's really not that Feng Ang doesn't want to exterminate Shanyuebarbarian, but it's really Shanyue Barbarian who is too much of a chicken thief, so he let them escape many times, and the Shanyue Barbarian who fled into the mountains and forests has increased the difficulty of encirclement and suppression by the officials and soldiers.

Several times the bandits could not be completely eliminated, once the mountain Yue Man recovered, he would immediately reorganize his manpower and go down the mountain to rob, causing the surrounding people to be frightened.

"These mountain bandits, this time they are ready to go down the mountain to loot, they are assembling to Dabao Mountain, according to reliable information, when they are assembled, they will attack Shaozhou, which is the closest to Dabao Mountain!"

"This time, we must arrive in Shaozhou before they attack Shaozhou, and then, ambush them in the surrounding area and wipe them out in one fell swoop!"

"This time, no matter what the cost is, we must completely eradicate this gang of mountain bandits, and we can't let them have a chance to resurrect!"

Li Jing made a major instruction, this time it is necessary to eradicate the mountain bandits no matter what, even if the entire Lingbei is turned over, the mountain bandits must be exterminated.

"Shaozhou is 300 miles away from Guangzhou, and if you want to reach Shaozhou before the mountain bandits, you have to take a detour on the official road, and it is easy to leak the wind and make the mountain bandits alert."

"If you take the mountain road, the road is full of mountains and forests, although you can quickly reach Shaozhou, and you can hide your whereabouts, but it is easy to damage the soldiers and horses......"

Feng Qi made the two marching routes clear, one was safe, and the other was hidden but dangerous, especially in the mountains and forests, where there were many poisonous insects and leeches.

Which way to go depends on Li Jing's decision, and he only provides a response plan.

"How many soldiers and horses do we have in Shaozhou?"

Li Jing asked, if there are thousands of soldiers and horses in Shaozhou, they can resist for a while, and they will take a safer official road.

"Shaozhou belongs to Xiazhou, and there are less than 500 defenders?"

Feng Qi replied truthfully.

"The quota of the number of people in Zhichong Prefecture is 1,200 people in Shangzhou Zhichong Prefecture, 1,000 people in Zhongzhou Zhichong Prefecture, and 800 people in Xiazhou Zhichong Prefecture, why is the Shaozhou Defense Regiment not even 500 people?"

Li Jing was very curious, according to the establishment of the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, the number of soldiers in the Xiazhou Prefecture was eight hundred, and the local defense regiment should be two thousand.

Datang's defense regiment is similar to the armed police force of later generations, responsible for ensuring a state's anti-terrorist operations!

"The imperial court has set up fewer Zhichong in the south, Shaozhou has not set up a Zhichong Mansion, and it is the defense regiment that is responsible for Shaozhou's security, defense and other military aircraft, because Shaozhou is poor, there are very few sergeants who can be recruited, and it is good to maintain three or four hundred people!"

Feng Qi said.

"The mountain bandits will attack Shaozhou in ten days, and the defenders of Shaozhou only have a few hundred people, and if they really want to fight, they will fall in one day!"

Li Jing frowned, in this case, he could only choose to take the mountain road, but the mountain road was difficult to walk, and it was very dangerous, tens of thousands of people would have to lose at least a quarter!

Is there any way to solve this problem, or reduce casualties?

Suddenly, a spiritual light came to mind about something, with this treasure, marching can prevent calves from being sore, and can also prevent insects and stabs, which is really a sharp weapon for marching.

In addition to the above functions, the leggings also have other wonderful uses, if you accidentally break the leg and break it, it can play a role in fixing the bones.

When you need to climb and land on a steep cliff, several leggings are connected and twisted into ropes for climbing.

If you are accidentally injured and can't walk, you can untie the leggings, cut two long and two short branches to make a stretcher, and so on.

"Well, that means that the reinforcements must arrive in Shaozhou within ten days, I decided to send 30,000 troops and take the mountain road to Shaozhou, Li Duozuo, do you dare to go?"

Li Jing looked at Li Duozuo, if he had the courage, let him be a pioneer general.

"I am willing to go to the soup for the saint!"

Li Duozuo did not hesitate and directly took on this arduous task.

"Good! There is the wind of a general, if you can completely pacify the mountain bandits this time, I canonize you as the founding county prince, you immediately order 10,000 troops, as a vanguard, march into Shaozhou, and I will arrive later!"

Li Jing said.

"Obey the order!"

Li Duozuo saluted with his hands crossed and received the king's order.

"This march is very dangerous, I have something good here to reduce the risk of the march, you come with me!"

Li Jing stopped Li Duozuo, and took everyone to find someone to make leggings, and personally demonstrated to everyone how to tie the leggings and some of the functions of the leggings!

The soldiers of the whole army were tied with leggings, and Li Duozuo led 10,000 elite soldiers, under the guidance of the guide sent by Feng Qi, and rushed to Shaozhou to support by mountain road!
