The Du family's generous donation to temporarily borrow 500 cavalrymen from Gushi Army to help assist in defense surprised Qin Zaidao and others.

You should know that in the southern towns lacking cavalry, five hundred cavalry is not a small number, which makes the officers of the Gushi Army look at Jiang Feng's ability a little more.

The construction of Gushi City Wall also reached its climax. According to Jiang Feng's requirements, the moat that had been destroyed outside Gushi City was dredged as quickly as possible, attracting the injected water tributaries, causing the abandoned moat to re-work.

At the same time, a sheep and horse wall is built on the inside of the moat. In view of the time when building a permanent sheep and horse wall is not allowed, Jiang Feng required that the wooden fences should be built in accordance with the three-meter-high requirements to strengthen the protection of the city wall.

After learning that the ant thief was attacking, the people in Gushi City burst out with great enthusiasm. Ordinary people automatically joined the construction team, and the wealthy families in the city actively donated money and materials, which surprised Jiang Feng.

"The bricks here are damaged and the terrain is relatively short. If you need to repair it, it is best to convert it into a group building."

Jiang Feng saw He Decai meticulously inspecting the city wall from afar, and the county magistrate who was walking with a sad face.

"Mr. He, according to your requirements, Gushi City can simply be rebuilt. The moat, fence, and so many groups and corner buildings have to be built. This is not considered a war shed. Where can we get so much materials and money to support us in Gushi?"

"Mr. Zhang, I just proposed what parts need to be repaired or supplemented according to Lord Jiang's requirements. As for whether the materials are enough and whether the money is sufficient, that is not the scope of my inquiries. You should report to Magistrate Chen."

He Decai shook his head with an unhelpful look on his face.

"But County Magistrate Zhang, I suggest you should launch more publicity in the city, such as summoning those gentry and wealthy families and taking them together, especially those from Guangzhou. They have experienced the tragic situation of the war in Guangzhou. I am afraid that the possible consequences of the city's breaking will be clearer. If the ant thief breaks the city, it will be burned. Instead of burning it or being looted by the ant thief, it is better to take it out to protect the city for the people. The people of Gushi will also remember their kindness, don't you?"

"Mr. He said it well, County Magistrate Chen and County Magistrate Zhang, I thought I could put stones on the top of this county town to engrave the names of the rich and rich gentry who donated their property on it, and keep it forever to commemorate it." Jiang Feng, who came forward, continued: "We Gushi soldiers are using their flesh and blood to protect them. I believe that Gushi gentry should be able to understand that our actions are for the safety of their lives and property. If anyone cannot set an example at this point, I think he should be despised and punished!"

Jiang Feng's last sentence was already faintly filled with gloomy threat.

In such an emergency, if there is still someone who is unwilling to make a "contribution", then he can only "contribute" him to the ant thieves.

The county magistrate also heard the unfinished meaning of Jiang Feng's words.

Jiang Feng, who had been patrolling the city, returned to the military yamen in the field. This place was originally the yamen in the field, but since the Gushi Army was stationed there, it naturally became the residence of previous Yuhous, and now it has become Jiang Feng's temporary residence.

After seeing Du Li away, Gushijun began a large-scale reorganization and expansion.

The Gushi Army was rebuilt into the fifth battalion, including the Ya Battalion and the Independent Cavalry Battalion.

Zhang Ziyue was the commander of the Ya Battalion, mainly concentrated the Guangzhou Ya Army that had come to surrender for this period of time. In addition, some elite troops were selected from the remnants of the old Guangzhou army from the Gangzhou Association, and the number was increased by 500.

Gu Minghai served as the commander of the central camp with the most comprehensive organization and combat effectiveness, mainly by selecting the elites from the original Gushi army.

Huang Anjin, who made a stunning success, served as the commander of the former battalion, absorbed some of the old Guangzhou army and some of the old Gushi army who came to surrender, and also supplemented 500 people and began a planned large-scale training.

The Zuoying was composed of the original Gushi old army and the newly recruited soldiers in the early stage. Its combat effectiveness was the weakest. Jiang Feng himself commanded the Zuoying, and also began the training.

Qin Zaidao was responsible for forming an independent cavalry camp that was not part of the fifth battalion of Gushi Army. However, due to the current number of war horses, the cavalry camp only had two capitals.

Jiang Feng also temporarily took advantage of the Gushi Army Yuhou under the recommendation of everyone, and truly became the leader of the Gushi Army.

Of course, this Yu Hou can only be a fake position.

According to the convention of this era, the county army belongs to the sequence of state army, and the state army Yuhou is generally appointed by the state governor's office.

Although Guangzhou is currently divided by the Yuan and Du families, the Yuan family is still dominated by the Yuan family. The three counties of Dingcheng, Guangshan and Le'an, where the prefecture is located, are all under the control of the Yuan family. It is believed that the Yuan family has already sent envoys to Chang'an to seek appointment.

However, the appointment of the position of governor of the state requires the approval of Chang'an. Even if this is just a nominal recognition, whether it is the Central Plains, Jianghuai or Jingchu, they basically follow this convention, first pretending to be recognized by Chang'an.

Of course, if you get into Chang'an, it is not uncommon for fake jobs for ten or eight years.

Even someone else has been appointed separately by Chang'an. As long as you have the strength, this nominal appointment will be less important. However, sometimes if you lack this noun, it will not be so legitimate when doing certain things.

Jiang Feng also considered Qin Zaidao's decision to serve as the commander of the Independent Cavalry Camp.

There is no doubt that the role of cavalry on an army will become increasingly important in the future and will be irreplaceable. However, at present, there are only a handful of people who can be competent for the command of the cavalry camp. Apart from Qin Zaidao, only Zhang Yue.

From practical experience, Qin Zaidao is richer, and Zhang Yue also needs to firmly grasp the elite force of the Yaying that belongs completely to him and obeys his orders, so he can only make such a decision.

He Decai has not yet entered the Gushi army and was entrusted by Jiang Feng to be responsible for the important task of completely repairing the entire Gushi City.

Jiang Feng thought that He Decai's character and temper were more competent for such cumbersome and unwillingness to ignore, especially now that someone with a special relationship with Gushijun is needed to be responsible for this work.

After a week, Jiang Feng found that it was undoubtedly the wisest choice to let He Decai take charge of this work.

From the dredging of the moat to the new construction of the sheep and horse wall, from the statistics of crossbows and armor in the warehouse to the preparation of rolling wood, rocks and lime, He Decai was able to supervise it carefully and clearly one by one, meticulously and meticulously.

If there were any unsatisfactory aspects, He Decai did not point out vaguely and firmly, and he would make up for it without giving up. The county magistrate Zhang who cooperated with his work complained, saying that Gushi County's accumulation in several years would be defeated by He Decai.
