The Fortress of Salmonella is located in the center of Salmonella Island, and it is completely built on the ancient city of Salmonella Island.The fortress is 130 steps long from north to south, ninety steps wide from east to west, and has a circumference of about [-] steps.The base of the fort wall is two feet three inches wide and about eight feet high. The city wall is made of layers of rammed earth and gravel.

When Li Jing led his troops to the gate of the garrison overnight, there was not even a single sentry in the entire garrison.Compared with the Nightless Long Street separated by a mountain, this place is extremely deserted and quiet.Looking at the dilapidated fortress, many places have been broken, and some of the fort walls are only half chest high, and there are gaps everywhere.If there is a war, these fort walls are a natural breakthrough, and they will not be able to resist at all.

The gate of the castle is also concealed. The soldiers in the Shamen Fortress have basically broken their legs and are in the fort now. When Feng Liang gathered a group of people to leave the fort just now, no one was left at all. The number of injuries is a group of family members.Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian each led a team of servants, directly broke into the fort, and took control of every key point in the fort.

On the school field in the fortress, torches were lit all around, and the new town soldiers drove Feng Ming and hundreds of people into the school field like cattle and sheep.Then the servant team also began to search from house to house, 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 final account statistics, there are currently 40 soldiers in the Shamen Garrison Fort, and 13 officers above the team leader. This figure does not include Qiu Shengong's group there.In addition, there are 210 family members of these garrison soldiers in the fort, of which 110 are adult men and women.In addition, Qiu Shengong's group consisted of ten soldiers, two officers, and 53 family members.

In addition to the personnel statistics, Li Jing also made a preliminary statistics of the houses and properties in the fortress.There are 380 seven large huts in the fort, two barracks, three granaries, one ordnance warehouse, and seven workshops for blacksmiths, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, and spears.It is preliminarily estimated that there are more than 3000 grains in the fort, more than [-] coins, and more than [-] pieces of silk.In addition, there is a small number of ordnance, as well as a lot of iron and other things.

With a wave of his hand, Li Jing let Zhang Hong put the money and food directly into the warehouse in Shamen Town, and completely confiscated them.

"General, what should we do with these people?" Lin Wei asked, pointing to the six or seven hundred people who were kneeling on the ground.Yesterday Li Jing went to Daxie Island, while he went to Dengzhou to buy things.In the evening, Li Jing was not seen back, so he directly commanded the Ning Hai to sail to Salmonella Island.As soon as he arrived at the Phoenix Wharf on Shamen Island, he saw a group of soldiers waiting at the pier, and one of them handed him a letter saying that it was sent by Li Jing.When he opened it, it was Li Jing who estimated that he had already arrived at Salmonella Island, and asked him to leave his family and others on the boat first, and immediately lead the soldiers and family members to Tianjie to stand by.

Fortunately, everything was under control, but when he thought of Li Jing being besieged one after another in Salmon Island today, Lin Wei became angry.Especially when Li Jing announced his identity in the end, Feng Ming dared to pretend to ignore it.If he hadn't appeared in time, he couldn't believe what would have happened.

Li Jing sat on the chair sternly, looking at the crowd of black crows below, he also had some headaches.According to his nature, these people had better get rid of it.But he also understands that it's okay to kill one or two, but he dare not and can't kill these hundreds of people.It is true that the military generals in the late Tang Dynasty had exclusive power, but Li Jing is still just a town general. Not to mention that although he has the support of Jieshuai and Sima, the current official is not as good as the current one, and his direct boss is Feng Zhang.Salmon Island is surrounded on three sides by Dahei Island, North Island, and South Island. Each of these three islands has a fortress stationed there, completely surrounding him to death.Now that his fledglings are fledgling, Li Jing really dare not 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.

"Incorporating them all into labor camps, I would have seen that the fortress had been in disrepair for a long time, and it was dilapidated, and it was intended to be rebuilt. Now these people are just used to build a new Salmonella town!"

"What about the family members of these garrison soldiers?" Lin Wei had no objection to the punishment of those garrison soldiers, even if they were killed.But how to deal with the family members of these garrison soldiers is a troublesome matter...

"There's nothing to consider. We'll put them into a labor camp together. Adults and men will be assigned to build the city, and the minors will do some logistical work such as cooking and laundry. In addition, move all these people out of the fort and build another camp outside the fort." .”

Since the Salmonella Island will be his territory in the future, and the Salmonella Island is completely surrounded by the three big islands of Daxie Village, Li Jing can't rest assured that he will live in such a dilapidated castle.The construction of a new city is an urgent matter, and it happens that there are hundreds of strong laborers on hand, so there is no reason for Li Jing not to use it.Not killing them is already letting them go, Li Jing has no reason to feed them with good food and drink.

It was already very late, so Li Jing asked the newly arrived soldiers to temporarily set up a barracks outside the fort, and drove all the hundreds of people inside.As for their houses and properties in the fort, all of them were naturally expropriated and confiscated.Li Jing asked the soldiers to clean up all the houses again, and asked Zhang Hong to start registering and assigning.Due to the limited number of houses, apart from the 250 town soldiers, 100 family members, and more than [-] officers who arrived in the fort first, the family members of Li Jing, Lin Wei and others can only be temporarily accommodated in the fort. Only the family members of officers above the rank and above can stay.

After the arrival of the second batch of brigades, those auxiliary soldiers, logistics soldiers, artisans and a large number of family members can only temporarily live outside the city until the new city is completed.Therefore, the first urgent task at the moment is to build temporary barracks, one is the auxiliary barracks, the second is the logistics barracks, the third is the soldiers' family camp, the fourth is the labor camp, and the laborer's family camp.

Li Jing divided the building of the barracks and the building of the city into a three-step plan. First, a temporary camp was built to accommodate the people, and then a semi-permanent barracks was built, and then the city was built.During the whole construction period, Li Jing's arrangement is that as long as the tents bought are set up in the temporary camp, if it is not enough, some nests can be dug for a temporary stay.It is required that a temporary camp can be built within three days to welcome the arrival of large troops.

The four big camps are planned to be built within half a month. The four big camps will be built in the north and south of the new city, with two camps on each side.After the new camp was built, it was almost time to prepare for spring plowing. At that time, the soldiers' families could divide the land and hoard the fields, while the labor camp and craftsmen were responsible for building the city.

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

Except for the family members of those hundreds of people, almost everyone was injured. Dozens of garrison soldiers had their hands and feet broken, and Feng Ming's group was beaten forty times and they were all unable to move.At this time, Li Jing felt a little regretful that he had beaten them so hard that now he had to send doctors to treat these people.There were not many doctors accompanying the boat, so Li Jing had to send people to the medical clinics in Tianjie and the wharf to invite all the doctors.The medical money alone is a lot of money.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard Zhang Chengzong say that someone named Sun Deyan wanted to see him.

"Who is this Sun Deyan?"

Qiu Shengong is in a very good mood today. In the past, he was bullied in this garrison, but now he sees Feng Ming and other former garrison officers and soldiers being beaten to death one by one, and the whole family is sent to work as laborers. I feel so relieved. , like eating a block of ice in June.Seeing Li Jing asking about Sun Deyan, he hurriedly replied: "Sun Deyan is the former garrison lord of Salmonella. He was also an officer in Daxie Village before. Later, he heard that he offended Feng Zhang and was demoted to Salmon Island by Feng Zhang." Speaking of this person, Qiu Shengong also showed some disdain on his face, "This person has always regarded himself as a literati. He claims to have thousands of articles in his chest and countless strategies for governing the country. But in fact, I think he is nothing more than a mad Confucian. Since he came to this Shamen Island, was completely emptied by Feng Ming, saying a word is better than farting, and he can't even command a person. Later, he simply drinks all day long and doesn't care about anything."

Hearing what Lao Hei said, Li Jing remembered that apart from the Lao Hei group who defected to him early today, Feng Ming, Qin Yong and others who besieged him, there was actually one person who did nothing, and that was the Sun Deyan, the garrison lord that everyone has forgotten.

"Such an incompetent guy might as well throw them into a labor camp." Wang Zhong said disdainfully when he heard that the garrison master was so incompetent.

Li Jing shook his head: "No, although Sun Deyan is incompetent, it was a matter of the past, and I was not in charge at that time. But now I am punishing those guilty soldiers. Although he is suspected of dereliction of duty, he is not Feng Ming's gang after all. Yes, we can’t even suppress him at this time. Go, call him, I want to see what this man looks like.”

Sun Deyan was quickly brought up, and Li Jing and the others frowned when they saw him.After all, this guy is also an officer of the eighth rank, but he is wearing a robe with stains and twists that can't tell its original color, and there is no crown on his head. His hair is loose and his beard is messy, like a handful of grass. of.A pair of eyes were red, and the corners of the eyes were still piled with eye feces.There was a wine gourd hanging from his waist, and he wobbled as he walked, as if he was still awake.

Originally, Li Jing heard that this self-proclaimed man had thousands of articles and countless strategies for governing the country, and wanted to meet him.But looking at this appearance now, I lost my mood at all.With a wave of his hand: "Rearrange a room for him, and then arrange an errand for him."

Sun Deyan saw that Li Jing just took a look at him before driving him away, and immediately said coldly: "If you judge someone by words, you will lose Zaiyu; if you judge someone by appearance, you will lose Ziyu. I heard that the new town general will kill decisively, so he is very lucky. , I thought I would meet the Lord of the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly, he is just a person who judges people by appearance, let it go! The old man should continue to drink my wine, everyone will wake up and I will get drunk alone."

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

Sun Deyan twisted his neck to the sky, not looking at Li Jing at all.Li Jing couldn't help being happy. I don't know if this person is capable or not, but he is really crazy. "If you have the real ability, then you can come up with a few suggestions that will benefit the town now. Whether it's military strategy or economic livelihood, it's all right."

Sun Deyan turned his head and glanced at Li Jing, who seemed to be joking, and finally put away the madness on his face, thought for a while and said: "First, release Feng Ming and Liu Qi immediately. Second, kill all The garrison who participated in the siege. Thirdly, since those rogues and business group guards have already been held accountable, they should also be released immediately."

"Give your reasons."

"The reason is very simple. When the general first came to Salmon Island, he used such a thunderous method, but he wanted to establish his prestige. Tianjie's move has completely achieved the purpose of the general's prestige. After the establishment of prestige, what the general needs most is Low-key instead of continuing to be so high-profile. Salmon Island is not an ordinary island, and the interests of countless people are involved behind it. The generals in their eyes are in charge of Salmonella Island, because it seems to them that there is a possibility of losing control."

"One more thing, the general has Jieshuai and Jiedu Marching Sima as his backers, and even the Cui family, Yu family, King Zhao and Han family support him, but don't forget that although the Feng family is the enemy of the Cui family, if the general rushes The Taiqian worked too hard, and in the end he might be attacked by the Feng family at all cost. If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it. In any case, the general is now under the direct command of Daxie Village, no matter how Cui Fenghan and others fight However, the general should protect himself appropriately. Feng Ming and Liu Qi have already been punished, and the punishment is not small. If they are detained to work as laborers, then the Feng and Liu families are likely to retaliate strongly And if they are released now, there is still room for relaxation.”

"In the final analysis, my opinion is that the general's handling of Changjie was very good. He showed his power when he first landed on Salmonella Island, and deterred many people with different thoughts. However, the strongest power is not the time of attack, but the time of attack. It is the most powerful when it is drawn but not fired. After the fist is punched out, it must be retracted to accumulate the next attack power. If it has been stretched out, how can the next attack come? Therefore, after showing strength, what the general needs now is to keep a low profile. Feel your power, and make others feel less threatened by you. In this way, the general can do what you want to do with peace of mind, until your power is unstoppable, then you can feel free Show your fangs!"

Li Jing frowned and pondered, Sun Deyan's words did have some truth.However, he did not fully agree.

"You're right. From today onwards, I will appoint you as the Counselor of Shamen Town, responsible for the military affairs of the Counselor. You should go down and rest first."

When Sun Deyan left, Wang Zhong and the others immediately asked, "General, you won't be moved by this drunkard's words, right?"

Li Jing smiled: "Bring that Liu Qi up and throw it outside. This Liu Qi is the nephew of Wang Jin, the navy master, and a direct descendant of the Liu family in Qingzhou. This time we will give the Wang family and the Liu family a face. As for Everyone else, what to do."
