Near noon, Li Jing, who was talking with Li Xiao, received a report that it was the governor of Dengzhou, Shi Wang Jingwen, the Dengzhou sailor Wang Jin, and the great Xie Yan's soldier and horse envoy Feng Zhang, who had arrived on the island with hundreds of men and horses.

Li Jing hurriedly told Song Wen the news, Song Wen frowned a few times after hearing this, but he was silent for a while before saying: "Since Wang Changshi and General Wang and General Feng are also here, then let's send a few people to pick it up." ”

Wang Jingwen and his entourage soon arrived outside the fort, and there were quite a few people, more than 200 people. At first, Wang Jingwen was dressed in a light crimson round-necked official robe, Wang Jin and Feng Zhang were both dressed in mountain armor, phoenix wing helmets, lion belts around their waists, the head of a unicorn beast swallowing on their shoulders, and a long red silk cloak hung on their waists, and a ring-headed sword hung around their waists. The dock was only a little distance from the fort, but several people were riding the war horses that had been brought from the ship.

Li Jing led the main officers of the town to greet him, paid his respects, and then led them to Song Wen and Li Wei. Although Song Wen and Wang Jingwen were the most discordant, they still maintained a fake politeness in front of everyone at this time and saluted each other. Feng Zhang and Wang Jin not only came by themselves this time, but also brought their main officers under them. Feng Xun, who came before Da Xie Yan, was the deputy soldier and horse envoy, and now he has brought the generals of the five forts and seven garrisons of Da Xie Yan, and Wang Jin has also brought all the generals of the sailor battalion over.

In addition to seeing Feng Zhang once last time after Cui Yunqing's departure banquet, this time it was Li Jing who officially met Feng Zhang. When Li Jing stepped forward to pay a visit, Feng Zhang's face smiled. He also stepped forward to help Li Jing up. He also personally introduced him to the main officers of Da Xie Yan one by one. The officers of the forts also greeted Li Jing very politely. If you don't know someone to see it. really thought that it was a harmonious relationship between superiors and subordinates and friendly brothers, and no one would have thought that the two sides had been secretly calculating each other for a long time.

Only when Wang Jin met Li Jing, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times, and he looked a little unnatural.

Dengzhou's civil and military officials gathered on Shamen Island, and the island was full of people and horses for a while. Under the leadership of Li Jing, all the officers followed behind to visit Shamen Town. The crowd visited the four temporary camps outside the city and the thousand-person pit dug at the foot of Phoenix Mountain. and the pile of pirate headless corpses that were just thrown in and not yet in and landfilled. Then they also watched the western city wall that was completely destroyed in the battle last night, looked at the huge gap that was razed to the ground, and the black and red blood stains sprinkled on the ground, and everyone had different reactions.

Song Wen, Li Wei and others were naturally full of praise for Li Jing and others, praising the soldiers and people of Shamen Town for their courage and bravery, and with hundreds of recruits and some young and strong people, they not only resisted the sneak attack of nearly a thousand pirates, but also annihilated all the pirates.

Listening to their praise, Li Jing and the others were also a little proud in their hearts, especially Lin Wei and Wang Chong. I almost couldn't help but tell everyone about the real battle yesterday. Fortunately, Li Jing kept staring at them, and hurriedly stopped them carefully. to avoid getting into big trouble. If they knew that there were more than 1,500 pirates attacking yesterday, and there were more than 200 royal guards, this matter would be a big deal. Not to mention whether Song Wen and Wang Jin will fight directly on this island, but at least it is conceivable that those hundreds of captives will definitely not be able to stay. Besides, the matter is really made public, and Li Jing may not be able to keep the property of the Wang family and the craftsmen of the underground workshop.

Since Song Wen had previously stated that he would not move Wang Jin to be ruthless for the time being, why should Li Jing bother himself.

Everyone looked at the layout of the city again, and when Li Jing pointed to the ruined city wall and said that the new city wall was going to be rebuilt, the new city would be three times the original size, and the city wall would also use new drawings, they were all surprised. When they saw the rough renderings of Newtown, they were all surprised. Especially when Song Wen heard that this new city would cost 30,000 yuan just for the two new city walls originally planned, he was very moved. Now Li Jing said that he would simply tear up the broken west city wall, and he would also tear off the north wall, and would expand the area of the new city again, and eventually the new city would be a city with a length of 1,000 steps from north to south, 500 steps from east to west, and a circumference of 4,000 steps.

Hearing Li Jing's introduction, even Song Wen showed a strange expression. That obviously means that you want to say, you are a small town general, just build a small castle, why do you build such a big city? Dengzhou City is a place where the state governs, and the circumference is only nearly nine miles. Da Xie Yan is still the superior of Shamen Town, but it is only nine hundred steps per week, and at the level of Shamen Town, the average castle is only about four hundred steps. Now Li Jing actually wants to get a circumference of 4,000 steps, which is ten times the original area. It's bigger than Dengzhou City.

Song Wen opened his mouth, but he still didn't say it in public.

When Wang Jin, Feng Zhang and others heard the news, they obviously had an expression of schadenfreude and jokes on their faces. If Li Jing really wants to build such a city, and use his drawings that cost twice the cost of building ordinary city walls, then this matter is definitely interesting. They wanted to see how Li Jing could get so much money and so many people to build such a city.

Li Jing saw the expressions of these people in his eyes, but smiled silently. Of course, he couldn't really build such a city. He did plan to completely tear down all the old walls and rebuild them according to the walls of the fortress. However, although there were plans to expand the area of the castle, it was only from the initial 400 steps to 1,600 steps, which was only 400 steps more than the original plan. The reason why he said this suddenly was actually because such an idea suddenly popped up, and then said it casually, just to see how everyone reacted.

After seeing the preset resident maps, barracks area, office area, workshop area and other layouts on Li Jing's drawings, Song Wen and the others' brows furrowed even tighter. Originally, everyone saw that Li Jing actually destroyed the one-eyed Jiao alone, and they were all shocked by Li Jing's ability. But now that I saw it in person, and saw Li Jing's plans for granted, everyone felt that Li Jing was just like that, a stubborn and self-serving. Completely brainless guy. Everyone is thinking. Maybe it's not that Li Jing is too powerful to defeat the pirates. It's that the one-eyed Jiao Lang has a false name, and it's too useless.

After reading the castle's plan for the new city, Song Wen took everyone to visit the wounded in the medical team and the families of the soldiers who were temporarily placed in various parts of the city. Originally, Song Wen and the others expected that the wounded and the people would thank them after they got the money, but the actual result was that when everyone only received an average of 50 yuan per person, the eyes of everyone looking at these civil and military generals were not grateful. Rather, it is contempt. This made Song Wen and the others very depressed, and even a little angry, but they were embarrassed to deal with these ordinary people, so they had to pretend to be angry. How do they know that the pensions, rewards and relief funds that Li Jing has just given to everyone are calculated by everyone. Compared to that, a mere fifty yuan is not as good as a day's salary in the workshop.

Song Wen had to think of a new topic on the road, and he asked Li Jing: "This time your department has suffered such heavy losses. Next, we have to re-recruit soldiers, is there a shortage of personnel and weapons? ”

Li Jing replied: "Although the soldiers suffered heavy losses. However, in the current famine years, there are still many people who are willing to carry guns and eat food, and the personnel are not bad. However, we are seriously underarmed, and many of our brothers have fought desperately with flat poles, bamboo poles, wooden sticks, and pirates, and if it weren't for this, we wouldn't have suffered so many casualties. ”

Song Wen's face was surprised, and he asked, "When you arrived before, didn't you go to Da Xie Yan to lead the army?" ”

Li Jing hurriedly told in detail about the hundreds of broken spears and knives that he had brought back from Da Xie Yan last time, and Song Wen frowned urgently after hearing this, and his face was dark. He turned to Feng Zhang and said, "Shamen Town belongs to Da Xie Yan, and this ordnance should naturally be issued by Da Xie Yan. General Li Zhen recruited people to take up the post by himself, so could he still bring his own ordnance to take office? What do you have to explain about this? If you can't give a reason, then the hundreds of souls who died in Shamen Town will have to be counted on your head. ”

Feng Zhang's face was a little ugly, although his official position was under Song Wen, he was actually not directly under Song Wen. Now Song Wen completely treats him as a subordinate training, which makes him very uncomfortable, but now that this matter is said, he has nothing to do, so he has to say: "I just heard about this matter, a few days ago I went to other islands to inspect the defense, and only a warehouse was left at home, but he was not sensible." After a pause, he gritted his teeth and said, "I think so, I'll have someone pull out three hundred sets of ordnance when I go back." In addition, as a pension for the dead and wounded brothers, each war dead will be subsidized five times, and each injured person will be given two times. ”

The matter of the bereavement was originally the responsibility of Da Xie Yan, but if Song Wen hadn't mentioned it in public today, he would have taken the opportunity to make trouble, and Feng Zhang would never have pulled out a copper. Unplugging this money now seems to be generous, but in fact it is just a duty.

Song Wen ignored Feng Zhang, and just said coldly: "I remember that when Shamen Town was still Shamenshu, the defense area also included three subsidiary islands: Niutongzi Island, Yangtanzi Island, and Burning Rice Island. Now that Shamenshu has been upgraded to Shamen Town, I think the defense of these three islands should continue to be handed over to them. Let them send some troops to garrison the three islands, and in the future, there will be no situation where no one will find out in advance when the pirates come to the island. ”

Listening to these meaningful words, Feng Zhang's face turned completely dark, but he couldn't come up with powerful words to fight back, and he was expecting Wang Jin to advance and retreat with him and help him. Who would have thought that Wang Jin had been absent-minded and distracted since he came to the island. After the last time, Feng Zhang had no choice but to agree to hand over the three islands of Yangtongzi Island, Niutongzi Island and Baked Cake Island to Shamen Town under the pressure of Song Wen.

Song Wen looked around at everyone with satisfaction, and said pointedly: "Ji Yu is a talent, he killed nearly a thousand thieves in a battle, and this kind of achievement is not something that ordinary people can establish." Such brave generals are the blessing of our Dengzhou, and in the future, everyone can help, and we must try to help. ”

Everyone responded in harmony and had different thoughts. But today, Song Wen was so stubborn that Li Jing also brought soldiers and horses from three battalions of Longshan Battalion, Dongmu Shouchuang, and Dengzhou Zhizhou Soldiers, which fully showed that Li Jing was a fierce pawn of the festival commander Song Wei. In the future, when dealing with Li Jing, you will have to worry about it a little more. (To be continued.) )
