In charge of distributing food rations to the residents, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were responsible for guarding the city, the soldiers of the Western Expeditionary Army were responsible for law and order, and the Guanxi Army and the Jiayuguan garrison, which replaced the Liaodong Army, remained on standby in their respective barracks.

It is worth mentioning that the strength of the Kwantai Army was divided into two parts, which were placed in two large camps in the south and north of the city, so that the Kwantai Army was actually under the control and control of the Ming army.

I have to say that Li Yuntian took a great risk by putting nearly 100,000 Guanxi troops and hundreds of thousands of Guanxi people into Qinglong City, and once these people made trouble in the city, the Ming army in the city would be in a passive position.

But since Li Yuntian wants to gain a foothold in Guanxi and even the Western Regions, he must save the Guanxi Army and the people of Guanxi, and only in this way can the people of Guanxi feel that the Ming court really regards them as the people of the Ming Dynasty, which can really be described as well-intentioned.

Although Li Yuntian's approach seems to be very unwise to the outside world, he has actually received a lot of rewards, making those people in Guanxi who have taken refuge in Qinglong City begin to have a sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty, and the distribution of free food supplies to the residents has further deepened their identification with the identity of the people of the Ming Dynasty, which is of far-reaching significance.

"Lord Wang, I have caught a few rice shop guys who tried to get out of the city, according to them, they are spies sent by the Northern Yuan, and they are in Qinglong City to steal information about Qinglong City, and the shop owner lost contact after letting them go out of the city separately this morning, and I don't know where they went."

At dinner, a guard told Li Yuntian, who was eating, that the guys in the rice shop were all caught when they were out of the city, although the street signs they forged were enough to confuse the real ones, but the way out of the city was seen through by the soldiers guarding the city at a glance.

The street sign of the residents of Qinglong City is a small rectangular wooden sign, which is engraved with the owner's address, date of birth, race, and height in Qinglong City, which is actually their ID card in Qinglong City.

Including refugees entering the Blue Dragon City, everyone over the age of fifteen who lives in the Green Dragon City has their own street signs, so that the residents who enter the Blue Dragon City can be effectively managed.

Moreover, Qinglong City implements the first chief responsibility system, the first chief is the most basic administrative staff of Qinglong City, responsible for managing the affairs of a block, recruited by the government among the residents of the city, and those who pass the assessment will be appointed as the first chief of a block, and will be awarded the official title of eight grades.

To put it bluntly, the first chief of Qinglong City is actually the director of the neighborhood committee in later generations, and Li Yuntian deliberately adopted the method of assessment and recruitment in order to avoid the expansion of local family power, so as to prevent local forces from using the power in their hands to bully their subordinates and hide their superiors, and do whatever they want.

It is precisely with these chiefs that the government can understand the situation of each block very smoothly, and it can be known when there is a wind and grass.

As for the road guide, it was originally opened to those who traveled far away, but because it was in wartime, Li Yuntian set a rule, as long as those who left Qinglong City had to get the official government's road guide out of the city first, otherwise they would not be able to get out of the city at all.

It's not that the guys out of the city are not realistic, but the road out of the city actually has an unknown anti-counterfeiting technology, which looks very ordinary but actually has a mark to distinguish its authenticity, this anti-counterfeiting technology comes from the martial arts, and no one in the outside world has been able to imitate it.

Because the guys in the rice shop didn't know the secret of the way out of the city, they fell into the trap laid by Li Yuntian.

However, if you put it aside to outsiders, you would think that the rice shop guys were recognized by the neighbors who were guarding the city gate.

"It seems that Beiyuan has put a lot of effort into Qinglong City." After waiting for the guards to leave, Li Yuntian looked up at Lin Xin, who was sitting opposite to eat, and said with a smile, "Since they want to play with this king, then this king will play with them." ”

"The prince already has a way to deal with them?" Hearing this, Lin Xin immediately put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Li Yuntian with interest, Kansai can be regarded as half of the home of the Northern Yuan, so the spies planted in Qinglong City are very well hidden, and it is difficult to distinguish them from ordinary residents.

Moreover, the spies of the Northern Yuan Dynasty are very cautious in Qinglong City, using a one-line contact method, and they do not know the existence of other people, although Lu Minen has destroyed several cases of the spies of the Northern Yuan, but he has not gained much, and he can't torture more valuable information.

"Once martial law is imposed in the city, there will be no interaction between neighborhoods, and they will definitely find a way to pass on information at that time." Li Yuntian smiled, picked up a piece of pork ribs, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly, as if he was savoring the taste.

"Lord Wang, do you mean that the Northern Yuan will plant spies among those who can move from block to neighborhood?" Lin Xin's eyes couldn't help but light up, and asked in a coquettish voice, after Li Yuntian's reminder, she came back to her senses and realized that the seemingly invulnerable Northern Yuan spy actually had flaws that were difficult to hide.

For example, since the Ming army's martial law throughout the whole process severed the communication between the various neighborhoods, the Northern Yuan spies must have found a way to deliver the news.

"Since the day of the construction of Qinglong City, presumably Beiyuan has been fighting its idea, and must have formed an intelligence network in the city, so that intelligence can circulate in the city."

Li Yuntian nodded slightly when he heard this, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth, "The person who set up this intelligence network thinks that the arrangement is seamless, but how can this king not notice the things he can think of?" ”

"Lord Wang, I will go and arrange for the people of the Kansai Battalion Supervision Department to strengthen the monitoring of those who can move around the neighborhoods." Lin Xin couldn't help but smile, if it was her, she would definitely not be able to find a breakthrough in capturing Beiyuan's spies from the complicated affairs, so she put down the dishes and chopsticks and prepared to go to arrange.

"Let's go after eating, we have a long time to play with them, and we don't have to rush for a while." Seeing this, Li Yuntian called out to Lin Xin and said with a smile.

Obviously, when Qinglong City was besieged by the combined forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, the Northern Yuan intelligence network hidden in Qinglong City would definitely become active, and it would definitely win over the Kwantan army, as well as create rumors and incidents in the city, so that their whereabouts would be exposed, giving the Ming army a chance to capture them.

The Xiaowu Army has three major organs, namely, the General Staff Department, the Logistics Department, and the Supervision Department, of which the General Staff Department is in charge of military intelligence spying and operational deployment, the Logistics Department is in charge of grain, grass and medicine, and the Supervision Department is in charge of counter-rebellion and rectification of military discipline.

For the Xiaowu Army in the mainland, the role of the Supervision Department is mainly to rectify military discipline and investigate violations of law and discipline, while the main role of the Supervision Department of the Xiaowu Army in Guanxi is to counter the rebellion and control the spies sent to Qinglong City by the Northern Yuan Dynasty and the Western Regions.

Lin Xin smiled when she heard this, and sat back at the table, she felt a little nervous, the fire in the rice shop made her nerves tense, God knows where Beiyuan planted the spies.

At noon the next day, the heavy gates of Qinglong City slowly closed, and the city walls were full of heavily armed Xiaowu soldiers.

Soon after, the figure of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan coalition appeared in the distance, marching towards Qinglong City, if you look closely, you will find that the formation of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army is not chaotic, but a defensive posture.

Since Li Yuntian unexpectedly defeated Wendu, who led 30,000 elite cavalry of the Timurid Empire, in Sunset Valley, the generals of the Timurid Empire have put away their contempt for the Ming Dynasty, after all, no one can gallop thousands of miles to save people in Beishi Bali City like Li Yuntian, and then be able to retreat with his whole body.

Not to mention the Northern Yuan, not only was he scared by Li Yuntian, but he also formulated a strategy of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight, so he naturally wanted to avoid fighting with the Ming army.

Because Li Yuntian was in Qinglong City, and there were more than 200,000 troops in Qinglong City, this made the combined forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan that came this time have to be careful and beware of being ambushed by Li Yuntian.

Perhaps because of the fear of the Ming army in Qinglong City, the combined forces of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty who came to the city were encamped far away, and there seemed to be no intention of besieging the city.

For the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, they hoped that the Ming army could go out of the city to fight, so that they could give full play to the greatest advantages of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan soldiers.

Li Yuntian, who was determined to preserve his strength, disappointed the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan, and the Ming army had no intention of going out of the city to fight at all, even if the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army camped there, they did not take the opportunity to sneak attack, so that the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan generals who were secretly preparing to fight were busy in vain.

In the following days, the armies of the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan Dynasty continued to march from the direction of Yumen Pass, some stationed outside Qinglong City to surround Qinglong City on all sides, and some crossed Qinglong City and continued eastward towards Jiayuguan.

It is worth mentioning that both the Timurid Empire and the besieging armies of the Northern Yuan Dynasty placed their camps far away from Qinglong City, and the reason why this was done was to prevent the sneak attack of the Ming army in the city, so that they could have enough time to deal with it.

In the face of a rock fortress like Qinglong City, no general has the will to capture it, and it is obvious that if you forcibly attack the city, it is completely to send your soldiers to death, and only siege is the best choice.

Since the siege of Qinglong City, Li Yuntian only climbed the city gate tower to check on the Timurid Empire and the Northern Yuan army encamped in the distance once, and then left those enemy troops outside the city behind and managed the affairs of the city with peace of mind.

It is worth mentioning that the Qinglong City is not a backwater, but vigorously set off an infrastructure boom, the open space in the east and west cities has become two large construction sites, and the young and middle-aged people in the city have joined the infrastructure army, according to the drawings began to build civilian houses and military buildings.

In order to mobilize the enthusiasm of those young and middle-aged people, Li Yuntian not only gave a good salary and was responsible for the food, but also solemnly promised that after the war, the newly built houses would be distributed to those involved in the construction of the infrastructure by lottery, which greatly attracted the men in the city, who wanted to get a place to live in the Qinglong City.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, those young and middle-aged men in Qinglong City are very prone to public security problems if they have nothing to do all day, which is equivalent to eliminating potential unstable factors in the city.

At the same time, Li Yuntian also promoted entertainment activities such as Xiaoyao cards in the city, trying to enrich people's entertainment life, as long as the people in the city have something to do, then the situation is very easy to control.
