Qinggeltai was overjoyed, and appreciated Lord Huang Sheng's style of practicing his words even more, and asked the black bear to kowtow to Lord Huang a few more times on his behalf. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info told Huang that the tribe of Inner Khalkha will always take the Huang family as the head and are not afraid of hardships.

What military attache wouldn't want to have a castle as their home base? Qinggeltai immediately mobilized all the people, and soon brought 3,000 men and women to participate in the construction of the castle.

The Huang family is going to select soldiers, although this time it is not to choose a soldier, but to supplement the battalion soldiers under his command, because Huang Sheng's reputation is too loud, the soldiers of Shanhaiguan are scrambling to accept the selection.

Soon, a thousand soldiers were gathered, one had 360 cavalry, and two had 720 infantry, and the Huang family still adopted the old practice, and every family belonging to the Huang family's command soldiers was arranged to settle down on Huangjiawan Island and arrange work, and was included in the armor protection and joint defense system.

There is no Ming soldier who is unwilling to let his family go to Huangjiawan Island, and there are people who drag their families and mouths immediately outside the Shanhaiguan Pass, unlike in the past, every migration before was a mourning, this time it was a happy smile, and everyone was looking forward to a better future.

Don't know why? There are more than 10,000 soldiers in their early 10,000s to follow. Huang Mingli and Huang Dongshan later visited and found that many soldiers had adopted the children of their brothers and sisters as their own children, and their parents had not followed them to support them.

This is a reasonable and legal thing in the Ming Dynasty, the Huang family has to pinch their noses and admit it, it doesn't matter if the population is more, the more young people the better, they will integrate into the Huang family in a year and a half and become a powerful reserve force.

Since Huangjiawan Island has emigrated to Fushan, there will be a second group of people going to it soon, and if there are 1,000 more small households, they will all get jobs and will soon be able to get rid of poverty and become rich.

Huang Sheng took his subordinates out of the customs and came to the Qiantun guard in Guangning to a thousand households abandoned by the Ming Dynasty.

This is where Huang Sheng landed last time, one hundred and thirty miles away from Shanhaiguan in the south, one hundred and twenty miles away from Ningyuan in the north, and fifty miles away from Gaotaibao in the west, located at the southern foot of the estuary of a tributary of the Liuzhou River.

Huang Sheng had visited the Qianhu City that was only more than three miles away from the seaside wharf last time, and he already had a plan in his heart.

How to use the minimum cost to accommodate the most people to avoid the war is the theme of this time to build the fortress, which is in the middle of the two fortified cities of Ningyuan and Shanhaiguan garrisoned by the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible for the Houjin to attack here for a long time.

Only a sneak attack and a one-hit cavalry assault are more suitable. As long as those Jiannu who are good at burning, killing and looting come once, the Inner Khalkha, which has just recovered some vitality, will be doomed.

Huang Sheng's plan was to prepare to repair and strengthen the original Qianhu House that had not been destroyed, relying on its eastern city wall, and building the north and south city walls to the west, close to the seaside wharf.

The city wall does not need to be too thick, as long as one and a half steps, such a thickness is only one-third of the ordinary Ming city wall, the purpose is to save cost.

The base of the wall is repaired with cement with the stone of local materials, the wall is the traditional three-fold soil outer brick of the Ming Dynasty, one of the north and south city gates are repaired, and the three-storey city gate tower of the third floor is built firmly and is twenty steps square, and the soldiers who defend the city can live and can look.

Install three up and down landing gates, and close the city gate by the noose and pulley group, Huang Sheng gave this city a name called Zhongming Fort.

The plan was reported to the ministers of the king of Liaodong, and he raised his hands to support it, and praised the talented man in front of the officials around him, and even the name given to the fortress was so appropriate.

Submission to the Inner Khalkha is one of the achievements of the king's ministers, and it is also an attitude of the imperial court to the Mongolian tribes, and the king's ministers are also afraid that these Nekhalkha people who are used as an example will be killed by Jiannu.

If such a thing happens, the political impact is too bad, and the prestige of the Ming Dynasty will be safe from now on? Therefore, it has become a consensus to ensure the safety of the tribe of Qinggeltai as much as possible.

Wang Zhichen immediately rushed to Beijing before taking office and sent 3,000 soldiers and displaced people to build fortresses, and there were many inland guards in Liaodong to serve as squad troops, they had no combat effectiveness at all, and they served here for a year and a half as cattle and horses.

Liaodong Jinglu also allocated 10,000 taels of silver and 3,000 stone wheat to assist in the construction of Zhongming Fort.

He said that he would also pay attention to the safety of the Inner Khalkha Mongols when he was in office, and told the two generals, Ma Shihu and Huang Mingli, to give rescue when Jiannu came to attack, and not to sit back and watch them be wiped out.

Of course, Huang Sheng has to make good use of money, food and manpower, use science, and not only that, but also stick up to the work. He appointed Gu Shanhai to bring the master of the Huang family, recruited many displaced people, and transported thousands of bags of cement to build a dock fortress.

After the castle was built next to the sea, it was like twin towers with the simple reinforcement of the original Sennohe Castle, one in the west and the other in the east.

The two fortresses are connected by two sections of the city wall of three miles in the north and south and are two independent entities, the west fort is garrisoned by Qinggeltai, and the east fort close to the pier is garrisoned by the Ming army under Huang Mingli, which is certainly not on the surface.

This is the temporary garrison of Qinggeltai, and the Huang family only came to three general banner soldiers, and one general flag before the Ming army gunners assisted in the defense, ready to take in 800 households in the Liaodong refugees who came here to work as coolies.

This is just an attempt to enclose the land, there are a large number of abandoned fields near Zhongming Fort, the total amount of more than 800,000 acres, and the water resources here are abundant, and the surface water is also quite sufficient.

However, there is a shortage of soldiers here, and the grain that the Han people have worked so hard to grow is likely to be cut by Jiannu before they can harvest it. Therefore, Huang Sheng only selected tens of thousands of acres of good land near Zhongming Fort and abandoned it for the Han people in Liaodong who remained to cultivate, which was better than nothing.

Even if the wheat is cut by Jiannu, the loss is limited, and it is a big deal to distribute rations to the people of the cantonment for free, with the current strength of the Huang family, as long as there are not too many people, they can afford to subsidize.

The Liao people in Tuntian here are also the people of the Huang family in the future, completely referring to the Huang family's management methods, carrying out joint defense of armor, each family must have at least one man, train them to become a village warrior with cold weapons, and it is no problem to cooperate with the Huang family soldiers to defend a small fortress in the future.

This completely different twin fort was designed so that in the event of an attack by the Jiannu, both the Mongols of Inner Khalkha and the fleeing Han people would be able to enter Zhongming Fort from the north and south gates between the two forts.

However, the walls of Zhongming Fort cannot be up and down from the south and north, and you must go up from the west fort or the east fort to the city wall. The gates are all hoisted, and the soldiers on duty in the city gate building lift and open and close the door, and there is more than one door.

Such a fortification is to allow the military and civilians not to live together, especially in the east fortress, where the Huang family is stationed, it is absolutely impossible for idlers to enter, and violators will be beheaded. Didn't Jiannu like to buy traitors and Mongol spies to break down cities?

The city where the Huang family is stationed, even if the enemy is mixed in, there is no way to start, the fortress cannot enter, and the city wall cannot be reached.

Due to the limited money and food, Huang Sheng did not want to build a big fortress here, the east fort is only two hundred steps square, but the designed city gate building is very high, the highest point is ten zhang.

This is also for dual use, this vantage point can not only garrison eight lookout posts and arrange four telescopes, but also be illuminated at night to become a beacon lighthouse.

The Huang family can use a high-powered telescope to be thirty miles away, and learn the simple information to be transmitted by Zhongming Fort by reading the code typed by the changing lights of the lighthouse, which is easier during the day, and can directly play the flag.

This lookout post could see through the telescope whether a large force of enemy cavalry was approaching thirty miles away, and there was a large river blocking it, which gave the defense of Zhongming Fort plenty of time to prepare.

The possibility of being suddenly attacked by the enemy is almost non-existent, and the security of the Huang family stationed in Dongbao is even more problematic, there are no idle people here, and there are people guarding around the clock.

The castle garrisoned by the soldiers and civilians of the Huang family is a fully enclosed type like the western castle, only one gate is close to the sea, or three, and the outermost gate is a steel fence gate.

It only takes a few seconds to lower the iron fence in case of an emergency, and the Huang Musketeers can kill incoming enemies through the fence.

Under the attack of Jiannu with cold weapons, there is no difficulty in holding this place, because to attack this castle is not something that cavalry assault can do, it requires a large number of infantry and shield vehicles, of course, it is better to have artillery.

But such a bulky material to transport it is impossible to do it in one handful, when Jiannu transports these things thirty miles away, they will be discovered by the Huang family soldiers stationed at the lookout post, pushing these heavy guys forward thirty miles to cross the river, I am afraid that it will not be able to complete it in a day.

Jiannu can only choose the cold winter to attack, and when the big river is no longer an obstacle, can he quickly march into the army, and at this time, Zhongming Fort has passed the autumn harvest, and there is almost no loss in Jiannu's attack.

How many days does it take for Jiannu to prepare for the siege? Huangjiashan Island is only half a day's sea route from here, will the artillery on the warship be polite to Jiannu? This is the reason why Huang Sheng deliberately chose to build a fortress in the coastal sea, attacking the shortcomings of the other with his own strengths!

Therefore, Huang Sheng thinks that there are Huang family horses, and this place is impregnable, and Jiannu came to send hundreds of heads and returned with feathers.

This kind of fortress with the defense means of the city, better put an end to the possibility that the cities of Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty were attacked from the inside, and Jiannu should not be stupid to rob this place that has no specific meaning, they can't afford it.
