Wu Zheng went to Pinggang Cottage first.

Passing through several miles of road, Wu Zheng's vision was cheerful.

After several months of construction, the cottage looks very well organized.

Hundreds of houses have been built, and the roads have been tamped with gravel and sand, and although narrow, they appear neat and sturdy.

Facing Chen Sheng and Jiang Boli, who were hurrying to catch up, Wu Zheng smiled and praised: "The two of you have worked hard, and it is beyond the expectations of this official to be able to renovate the cottage to such a scene." ”

Jiang Boli said humbly: "This is a matter within the subordinate's duty, and it should not be praised so much." Compared with the adults' recovery of Hangzhou and Jiaxing, and the defeat of the Tatar Prince Yu Duoduo, it is more like a firefly competing with Haoyue. Speaking of which, the subordinates haven't congratulated the adults on the joy of ascending to Amber? ”

Compared with Jiang Boli, Chen Sheng seemed much calmer, and just smiled and bowed to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng smiled and said, "Why don't you take this opportunity to take your official to inspect all parts of the village?" ”

Jiang Boli and Chen Sheng hurriedly turned sideways and said, "My lord, please." ”

This cottage is indeed very large, originally when Liu Laosan was the king of the mountain, there were more than 1,000 people at the peak.

Now, after a few months of renovation, it looks even more spacious.

Jiang Boli introduced that now more than 1,000 acres of paddy fields and mountains can be planted in the cottage.

There are more than 1,600 houses in total.

It can accommodate five or six thousand people without being crowded, and the food and land produced by the hoarding are enough to feed the people in the cottage.

Wu Zheng was very satisfied, this was originally Wu Zheng's need to save his life, his family, and his subordinates as a precautionary measure.

Of course, it is not needed now, but Wu Zheng did not want to abandon it.

Although the tide of battle is evolving in a good direction, who knows if God will suddenly turn around again?

Prevent rain when it is sunny, this truth, Wu Zheng is familiar with it.

When climbing the mountain, Chen Sheng pointed to the dozen or so gun emplacements and said, "My lord, my subordinates have asked the soldiers to dig a stone road for artillery vehicles to travel, so that the artillery positions can move a hundred steps from the left and right, so that the firing range of the artillery can be expanded." ”

This is really not easy, at this time the artillery is also a small front and a large back barrel, changing the distance, direction, can only adjust the gun elevation angle and left and right to move the gun mount, the degree of adjustment is very small.

Being made by Chen Sheng like this, he can almost move forward and backward a distance of 100 steps, and in the middle of the artillery path, there is a cross cross, which can shoot almost in all directions, which is indeed unexpected by Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng nodded in surprise and said, "Okay, you have a heart." ”

Chen Sheng hurriedly said: "The subordinates just acted according to Shen Baihu's strategy, and they didn't dare to take credit." ”

Wu Zheng was stunned, that kid is really capable.

Chen Shengdao: "Qian Baihu also said that the artillery on the mountain can suppress the attacking enemy, but if the enemy breaks through the front line of the cottage and enters the Yongdao, the artillery will not be able to play a role. The subordinate asks the adult, and if the adult agrees, the subordinate will immediately send someone to do it. ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said: "This matter is feasible, but the gunpowder is susceptible to moisture, so it is still prepared, and it is not too late to bury it when there is an enemy." ”

"Yes."

……。

After descending the mountain, Wu Zheng left Chen Sheng alone.

Looking at Chen Sheng's calm face, Wu Zheng sighed before he could say anything.

Chen Sheng smiled and said to Wu Zheng: "If you have something to say, you might as well say it clearly." ”

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "This official does have something to tell you." ”

"My subordinates are listening."

"Now that the situation is beyond expectations, Hangzhou and Jiaxing have recovered, and the base area originally left for you by this official may not be used in a short period of time."

Chen Sheng nodded and said: "Your Excellency is right, now your adult has an army of 100,000, according to the land of Sanfu, it is indeed useless here, and my subordinates hope that they will not be used in this life." ”

"Yes." Wu Zheng agreed, "But the terrain here is really rare, and it costs a lot of manpower and material resources, plus it is close to Wuzhuang, so it is a pity to abandon it." ”

Chen Sheng nodded vigorously.

Wu Zheng said: "So the official thinks, just in case, it is better to keep it." This requires someone to be stationed here, ordinary people and officials are not at ease, besides, the layout in the cottage and the placement of artillery on the mountain, the people who know it, are you, Qian Qiaogong, Shen Zhiyuan, Jiang Boli and others, Jiang Boli naturally wants to stay in the village, but he can't bring soldiers. Qian Qiaogong and Shen Zhiyuan, the official wanted to take them out of the cottage, these two people were young and put them in the village, but it was a pity. ”

Chen Sheng looked at Wu Zheng calmly.

Wu Zheng felt guilty, "This official knows that your ambition is also in the field, but this official has no trustworthy person available for a while, you are different from Qian Qiaogong and Shen Zhiyuan, you are calm enough to endure your temperament, and I will hand over this cottage to you, and this official can rest assured." Besides, Shining Town is not far from here, and it is convenient for you to go home to visit your parents, wife and children, so the official wants you to stay in this village, I don't know what you think? ”

Chen Sheng opened his mouth and said: "My lord has already made up his mind in his heart, and his subordinates should obey it, but his subordinates have a question, I don't know if to ask?" ”

Wu Zheng said: "Ask." ”

"How long is the period for my subordinates to be stationed in the cottage?"

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "One year at the fastest, three years at the latest." ”

"Okay, the subordinates are willing to garrison this village for the adults, the village is in the people, the people in the village are dead, and the adults can rest assured that they can recover the lost land outside."

Wu Zheng was a little moved, the cottage is bitter, how can it be as prosperous as Shaoxing and Hangzhou.

It is precisely in consideration of these that Wu Zheng cannot choose Shen and Qian to be stationed.

Young people are full of enthusiasm, but they can't bear the days of lonely lamps and dry Buddhas.

"Chen Sheng, this official has granted you the right to kill in this village, and there is only one requirement of this official, that is, the cottage must be safe. At most three years, the official will definitely transfer you out of the mountain, or change people to come and rotate them. ”

"Yes."

……。

Wu Zheng went to Wuzhuang again.

The teary-eyed Father Wu hugged his son for the first time in his life.

The hug is a little stiff and stiff, but the truth is revealed.

This action has been brewing for a long time for Daddy Wu.

According to the education that Father Wu received since childhood, that is, the natural enemy of father and son, that is to say, according to the etiquette system at that time, father and son must abide by etiquette, and only between the previous generation, like grandchildren, can they be loving.

The so-called strict father and mother are the result of following this ritual system.

Asking Daddy Wu to hug him is something that Wu Zheng can't think of in the past 18 years.

In front of Wu Xiaomei, Zhou Simin and others, the father and son hugged each other like this, and this meeting was indeed a bit discordant.

Father Wu reined in faster, and pushed Wu Zheng forward, "Ahem...... It's good to come back, huh...... I heard that you are now in Amber? ”

"Yes."

"That's because the court values you, you have to serve the country well."

"Yes."

"Everything is fine at home, you are fine, just go back to the army."

"Huh?"

After Daddy Wu finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked briskly, judging from the rhythm of his steps, it was obviously pleasant.
