Over the Phoenix Mountain, only a few miles away is the Shamen Fort.

Located in the center of Salmon Island, the Fortress was built entirely on top of the ancient city of Salmon Island. The fort is one hundred and thirty steps long from north to south, ninety steps wide from east to west, and about four hundred steps in circumference. The base of the fort wall is two feet three inches wide and about eight feet high, and the walls are made of layers of rammed earth and gravel.

When Li Jing led his troops to the gate of the fort overnight, there was not even a single sentry in the entire fort. Compared to the long street that never sleeps across the mountain, it is very cold and quiet. Looking at the dilapidated fort, many places have been dilapidated, and there are a few castle walls that are even only half a chest high, which is completely a gap everywhere. If there is really a war, these fort walls are a natural breakthrough, and they cannot resist it at all.

The castle gate is also hidden, and the soldiers in the Shamen fort are basically broken legs in the fort now, and Feng Liang didn't leave anyone at all when he gathered a group of people out of the fort just now, except for those wounded in the entire fort, it was a group of family members. Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian each led a team of family members and directly broke into the fort, and for a time they controlled all the key places in the fort.

On the school field in the fort, torches have been lit all around, and the Xinzhen soldiers drove Feng Ming and other hundreds of people into the school field like cattle and sheep. Then the family team also began to conduct a house-to-house inventory, and drove all the people in the fort to the school grounds.

At this time, it was the eighth day of the first lunar month, the required date for Li Jing to take office. The New Year has just passed, but the weather is still extremely cold.

After everyone was driven to the school grounds, Li Jing asked Zhang Hong to start counting.

According to the statistics on the back account, there are now 40 soldiers in the Shamen Fort, and 13 officers above the commander level, and this number does not include Qiu Shengong's group there. In addition, there were 212 families of these soldiers in the fort, of whom 113 were men and women. In addition, Qiu Shengong's group had ten soldiers, two officers, and fifty-three family members.

In addition to personnel statistics, Li Jing also made preliminary statistics on the houses and property in the fort. There are 387 large huts in the fort. Two barracks. There are three granaries, an ordnance warehouse, and seven workshops for blacksmiths, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, and spears. It is preliminarily estimated that there are more than 300 stones of grain, more than 1,000 pieces of money, and more than 3,000 horses of silk in the fort. In addition, there is a small number of ordnance, as well as a lot of iron and other materials.

For these money and food, Li Jing waved his hand. Let Zhang Hong be directly classified into the warehouse in Shamen Town, which can be regarded as a complete confiscation.

"General, what about these people?" Lin Wei pointed to the six or seven hundred people who knelt in the school hall and asked. Yesterday, Li Jing went to Daxie Island, and he went to Dengzhou to buy goods. In the evening, Li Jing was not seen to go back, so he directly commanded the Ninghai to drive to Shamen Island. As soon as he arrived at the Phoenix Pier on Salmon Island, he saw a group of soldiers waiting at the pier. One of them handed him a letter that Li Jing had sent from him. When he opened it, it was Li Jing who estimated that he had arrived at Shamen Island, so he asked him to leave his family and others on the ship first, and immediately led the soldiers and the family team to Tianjie to stand by.

Fortunately, everything was under control, but when he thought that Li Jing was actually besieged one after another on Salmon Island today, Lin Wei was angry. Especially the most embarrassing Li Jing announced his identity, but Feng Ming dared to pretend to ignore it. If he hadn't shown up in time, he couldn't believe what the consequences would have been.

Li Jing sat on the chair with a golden knife. Looking at the crowd of crows below. There are also some headaches. By his very nature, it would be better for these people to be completely naked. But he also understood. It's okay to kill one or two, these hundreds of people, he doesn't dare to kill and can't kill. It is true that the military generals of the late Tang Dynasty are in power, but he Li Jing is still only a town general, not to mention that although he has the support of the marshal and Sima, the current official is not as good as the current management, and the direct boss is Feng Zhang. Salmon Island is surrounded on three sides by the three large islands of Dahei Island, North Island and South Island, and each of these three islands has a fort of soldiers and horses, which completely surrounds him to death. Now that he is fledgling, Li Jing really doesn't dare to do such a drastic thing.

Kill, can't kill, then let go, Li Jing is even more unwilling to let go.

After thinking about it, Li Jing decided to neither kill them nor let them go.

"If they were all put into the labor camp, we would have seen that this fort was in disrepair, and many of them were dilapidated, and it was meant to be rebuilt. Now it's time to use these people to build a new town of Shamen! ”

"What about the families of these soldiers?" Lin Wei had no objection to the punishment of those soldiers, even if he killed them, he would not have any objection. However, how to deal with the families of these soldiers is a troublesome matter.

"There is nothing to think about, they are incorporated into labor camps together, and both men and women are assigned to build cities, and those who are not mature do some logistical things such as cooking and laundry. In addition, all these people were moved out of the fort and another battalion was set up outside the fort. ”

Since this Shamen Island is his own territory in the future, and Shamen Island is completely surrounded by the three big islands of Daxie, Li Jing is not at ease to live in such a dilapidated fortress city. The construction of a new city is an urgent matter, and it happens that there are so many hundreds of strong laborers in hand, how can Li Jing not use it. If you don't kill them, you are already letting them go, and Li Jing has no reason to eat and drink well to raise them.

It was already late, so Li Jing asked the newly arrived soldiers to set up a temporary barracket outside the fort and drove all the hundreds of people in. As for the houses and property in their forts, they were naturally all expropriated and confiscated. Li Jing asked the soldiers to clean up all the houses again, and asked Zhang Hong to start registering the distribution. Due to the limited number of houses, in addition to the 250 town soldiers and 100 family members who arrived first, and the more than 100 officers in the fort, they could only temporarily arrange for the families of Li Jing, Lin Wei and others to move in, and the rest could only be moved in by the families of officers above the head of the gang and above.

After the arrival of the second group of troops, those auxiliaries, logistics soldiers, craftsmen and a large number of family members could only temporarily live outside the city until the construction of the new city was completed. Therefore, the first priority at the moment is to build a temporary barracks, one is an auxiliary barracks, the second is a logistics barracks, the third is a soldiers' family camp, and the fourth is a labor camp and a laborer's family camp.

Li Jing divided the construction of barracks and the construction of the city into a three-step plan, first building a temporary camp to house the people, then building a semi-permanent barracks, and then building the city. During the entire construction period, Li Jing's arrangement was that as long as the tents bought in the temporary camp were erected, and if they were not enough, they could dig some ground and live in them temporarily. It was required that a temporary camp be set up within three days to welcome the arrival of a large army.

The four camps are planned to be built within half a month, and the four camps will be built in the north and south of the new city, with two camps on each side. After the new construction is completed, it is almost time to prepare for spring ploughing. At that time, the soldiers' families were able to share the land and stock up the fields. The labor camps and artisans were responsible for building the city.

That night, Li Jing discussed with Lin Wei and others until very late.

In addition to their families, almost all of the hundreds of people were injured, dozens of soldiers were broken hands and feet, and Feng Ming's group of people were beaten forty boards and couldn't move. At this time, Li Jing regretted that he had beaten these people too hard, so much so that now he has to send a doctor to treat these people. There were only a few doctors on the boat, and Li Jing had to send people to several medical centers on Tianjie and the dock to invite all the doctors. Light medicine money. That's a lot of money.

was about to leave, when he suddenly heard Zhang Chengzong say that there was a man named Sun Deyan who wanted to see him.

"Who is this Sun Deyan?"

Qiu Shengong is in a very good mood today, in the past, he was oppressed in this fort, but now he sees Feng Ming and other former garrison officers and soldiers being beaten half to death one by one, and the whole family is assigned as laborers, and his heart is so comfortable. It's like eating a block of ice on a June day. Seeing that Li Jing asked about Sun Deyan, he hurriedly replied on the side: "Sun Deyan is the former master of Shamen, and he used to be an officer of Da Xie Yan before, but later I heard that he offended Feng Zhang and was demoted to Shamen Island by Feng Zhang. Speaking of this person, Qiu Shengong also had some disdain on his face, "This person has always regarded himself as a literati, and he claims to have thousands of articles in his chest. Countless statecraft. But actually. I think it's just a madman. Since arriving on this Salmon Island, it has been completely sealed and empty. It's better to fart than to say a word, and you can't even command a person. Later, he just drank all day and didn't care about anything. ”

Listening to Lao Hei's words, Li Jing remembered that in addition to Lao Hei's group of people who had defected to him early, there were also Feng Ming, Qin Yong and others who besieged him, but in fact, there was another person who did nothing, that is, Sun Deyan, the forgotten war master.

"Such incompetent fellows should simply throw them into the labor camp together." Wang Zhong said disdainfully when he heard that this lord was so incompetent.

Li Jing shook his head: "No, although Sun Deyan is incompetent, that was a matter of the past, and I couldn't take care of it before I arrived." But now that I am dealing with those guilty soldiers, although he is suspected of dereliction of duty, after all, he is not Feng Ming's gang, and we can't even suppress him at this time. Go, call him, and I'll see what this man looks like. ”

Sun Deyan was quickly brought up, and as soon as he saw someone, Li Jing and the others couldn't help frowning. This guy is also an officer of the eighth grade, but he is wearing a robe that is not stained and twisted to see its original color, and there is no crown on his head, and his hair is scattered, and his face is full of messy beard, like a handful of grass. A pair of eyes are red, and there are still eye droppings in the corners of the eyes. There was a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and he didn't seem to be awake when he walked.

Originally, Li Jing heard that this self-proclaimed man had thousands of articles and countless strategies for governing the country, and he wanted to meet him. But now when I look at this look, I suddenly lose my mood at all. With a wave of his hand: "Rearrange a room for him, and arrange another errand for him." ”

Sun Deyan saw that Li Jing just glanced at him and drove him away, and immediately said coldly: "Judge people with words, and lose them; Judging people by their appearance, they lose their sons. I originally heard that the new town general was decisive, so I had a good life, and I thought I would meet the master, but I didn't expect it to be just a person who judged people by their appearance, so let's go! The old man continued to drink my wine, and everyone woke up and I was drunk alone. ”

Li Jing smiled: "You mean you have real skills?" ”

Sun Deyan twisted his neck to the sky, and no longer looked at Li Jing at all. Li Jing couldn't help but be happy, I don't know if this person has the ability now, but he is really crazy. "If you have the real skills, then you can make a few suggestions that will be beneficial to the town now. Whether it is the art of war or strategy, the economy and people's livelihood, it is all indispensable. ”

Sun Deyan glanced back at Li Jing, seeing that he didn't seem to be laughing, he finally put away the look of madness on his face, and after thinking about it seriously, he said: "First, release Feng Ming and Liu Qi immediately." Second, kill all the garrisons involved in the siege. Third, those hooligan ruffians and merchant guards should be released immediately, since they have already been held accountable. ”

"State your reasons."

"The reason is very simple, when the general first came to Salmon Island, he used such a thunderous method, just to establish his authority. Tianjie's hand has completely achieved the purpose of the general's prestige. After Liwei, what the general needs most is to keep a low profile and not continue to be so high-profile. Salmon Island is not an ordinary island, and the interests of countless people are involved behind it, and the military has long known about it. In that case, no one wants a general who is too strong and doesn't care about everyone to take charge of Salmon Island, because in their eyes it may get out of control. ”

"Another one, behind the general, there are Jieshuai and Jiedu Marching Sima as backers, and even the Cui family, the Yu family, King Zhao and the Han family to support each other, but don't forget that although the Feng family is the opponent of the Cui family, if the general rushes too hard, he may eventually be hit by the Feng family at all costs. The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. In any case, the general is now under the direct command of Da Xie Yan, no matter how Cui Fenghan and the others fight, the general should still properly protect himself. Feng Ming and Liu Qi have already been reprimanded with a cane, and the punishment is not small. If they want to be detained as laborers again, then the Feng and Liu families are likely to react strongly in retaliation next. And if they are released now, there is still some room for relaxation. ”

"In the final analysis, my opinion is that the general's handling of Long Street was very good before, and he showed his strength when he first landed on Salmon Island, and deterred many people with strange thoughts. However, the strongest force is not when attacking, but when it is triggered but not triggered. After the fist is punched out, it has to be retracted to accumulate the next attack power. If you keep stretching, how can you do it next time? Therefore, after demonstrating the strength of the general, what the general needs now is to keep a low profile. It makes people feel your strength and makes others feel that you are threatened. In this way, the general will be able to do what you want to do with peace of mind, until your strength is unstoppable, and then you will be able to show your fangs with affection! ”

Li Jing frowned and pondered, Sun Deyan's words did have a certain amount of truth. However, he does not fully agree.

"What you said is right, from today onwards, Ben will appoint you as the counselor of Shamen Town, responsible for the military affairs of the counselor, you go down and rest first."

Waiting for Sun Deyan to leave, Wang Zhong and the others immediately asked, "General, you won't be moved by this drunkard's words, right?" ”

Li Jing smiled: "Take that Liu Qi out and throw it outside." This Liu Qi is the nephew of the sailor Wang Jin, and he is also a descendant of the Liu family in Qingzhou, this time we will give the Wang family and the Liu family a face. As for the others, what should be done. (To be continued.) )
