Chapter 124 Take over Shamen Town

After crossing Phoenix Mountain, only a few miles apart is the Shamen Fort.

The Shamen Fort is located in the center of Shamen Island, and is completely built on the ancient city of Shamen Island. The Fort is 130 steps long from north to south, 90 steps wide from east to west, and about 400 steps long. The base of the fort wall is two feet three inches wide and about eight feet high. The city wall is made up of rammed earth and gravel layers.

When Li Jing led his troops to the gate of the fortress overnight, there was not even a stand-off post. Compared with the long street that never sleeps across the mountain, it was extremely quiet. Looking at the dilapidated fortress, many places were already broken, and there were several fort walls that were even half a chest high, which was completely a gap. If there was a war, these fort walls would be a premature breakthrough and could not play a role in resisting.

The castle gate is also empty. The garrison soldiers in the garrison fort have basically been broken and their legs are in the fort. Feng Liang just gathered a group of horses into the fort and did not stay in it at all when he entered and left the fort. In the whole fort, except for those injured, there were only a group of family members. Zhang Chengzong and Liu Shouqian each entered and led a team of servants, broke into the garrison for a time, and controlled the key places of the garrison for a while.

Torches had already lit up around the schoolyard in the fortress, and the soldiers of the new town drove Feng Ming and others into the schoolyard like cattle and sheep. Then the servants also began to check door to door, rushing all the entry in the fortress to the schoolyard.

It was the eighth day of the first lunar month, and Li Jing took office for the period of time. The New Year just passed, but the aura was still extremely cold.

After all the entry was rushed to the school grounds, Li Jing asked Zhang Hong to start counting.

Finally, the statistics on the account show that the garrison soldiers in the Shamen Fort are now 40, and the officers above the gang are thirteen. This number does not include the group of Qiu Shengong entering. In addition, there are 212 families in the fort, including 113 men and women in Cheng Dinggong. In addition, there are 100,000 soldiers in Qiu Shengong, one group of garrison soldiers in Qiu Shengong, two officers in him, and fifty-three families in his family.

In addition to the enrollment statistics, Li Jing also preliminarily counted the houses and property in the fort. There are 387 large and small houses, two military camps, three granaries, one ordnance warehouse, and seven workshops such as blacksmiths, bows and arrows, horizontal knives, spears, etc. It is initially estimated that there are more than 300 stones of grain, more than 1,000 stagnant of money and more than 3,000 pieces of silk in the fort. In addition, there is a small number of weapons, as well as a lot of iron and other materials.

Regarding these money and grains, Li Jing waved his hand and asked Zhang Hong to directly enter the warehouse in Shamen Town, which was completely confiscated.

"General, how to deal with these incomings?" Lin Wei pointed to the No. 6700 knelt on the schoolyard and asked. Yesterday, Li Jing went to Daxie Island, and he went to Dengzhou to buy goods. At night, he did not see Li Jing back, so he directly directed the Ninghai to Shamen Island. As soon as he arrived at the Phoenix Wharf of Shamen Island, he saw a group of soldiers waiting at the dock. One of them handed him a letter saying that it was sent by Li Jing. When he opened it, Li Jing estimated that he had arrived at Shamen Island, so he asked him to wait for his family and stay on the boat first, and immediately led the soldiers and the servants to Yao Street to stand by.

Fortunately, everything was under control, but when Lin Wei thought that Li Jing was besieged one after another on Shamen Island, he was angry and refused to fight. Especially in the end, Li Jing announced his identity, but Feng Ming dared to pretend to ignore it. If he did not appear in time, he would not believe what the consequence would be.

Li Jing sat on the chair with a big horse with a golden sword, looking at the black crows below, and also had a headache. According to his original intention, it would be better to have all these people settled. But he also understood that it would be okay to kill one or two people. He dared not kill or kill these hundreds of people. It is true that the military generals in the late Tang Dynasty were dictatorial, but Li Jing is still a general now. Not to mention that although he has the support of Jieshuai and Sima, it is better to be in charge of the current official position. His boss is directly under Feng Zhang. Shaman Island is surrounded by three large islands on three sides of Dahei Island, Bei Island and South Island. There is a fortress of soldiers on each of these three islands, which completely encircled him. Now that he is not full of wings, Li Jing really dares to do such a fierce thing.

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

After thinking about it, Li Jing decided not to kill them or let them go.

"I will see that the fortress has been disrepaired and is very broken, and it is just like rebuilding. Now I just use these to build a new Shamen Town!"

"What about these garrison families?" Lin Wei had no objection to the punishment result of those garrison soldiers, and even if they were killed, they would not object. However, how to deal with these garrison families is a troublesome...

"There is nothing to consider. Let's be organized into a labor camp together. Both men and women were sent to build a city, and those underage did some logistics such as cooking and washing. In addition, all of these camps were moved out of the fort and a battalion was built outside the fort."

Since Shaman Island will be his own territory in the future, Shaman Island is completely surrounded by the three major islands of Da Xie Fortress, Li Jing is worried about living in such a broken fortress again. It is urgent to build a new city. It just so happens that he has so many hundred strong laborers in his hands. How can Li Jing not use it? Not killing them is already letting them go, and Li Jing has no reason to keep them delicious food and drink.

It was already very late, so Li Jing asked the newly arrived soldiers to temporarily build a camp outside the fort and drove all the hundreds of incomings. As for the houses and property in their fort, they were naturally all expropriated and confiscated. Li Jing asked the soldiers to clean up all the houses and asked Zhang Hong to register and distribute them. Due to the limited houses, except for the 250 soldiers and 100 clerks who arrived first, and the more than 100 officers in the fort, they could only temporarily arrange for Li Jing and Lin Wei and other families to move in. The rest were only the families of officers above the mate commander or above the mate commander or above to move in.

After the second batch of brigades arrived, the auxiliary soldiers, logistics soldiers, craftsmen and a large number of families could only temporarily live outside the city before the construction of the new city was completed. Therefore, the first priority at the moment was to build a temporary camp, one was the auxiliary soldiers' barracks, the second was the logistics barracks, the third was the soldier's family camp, the fourth was the labor camp, and the labor family camp.

Li Jing divided the construction of a barracks and city building into a three-step plan, first building a temporary camp to accommodate the crowd, then building a semi-permanent camp, and then building a city. During the entire construction period, Li Jing's arrangement was that the temporary camp should be set up with the tents they bought, and if it was not enough, they could dig some land nests to stay temporarily. They required that temporary camps be built within the Sanyao to welcome the arrival of the large army.

The four camps were planned to be built within half a month. The four camps will be built in the north and south of the new city, with two camps on each side. After the new camps are built, it is almost time to prepare for tillage. At that time, the soldiers and families can just divide the land and stockpile the fields, while the labor camps and craftsmen are responsible for building the city.

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

In addition to family members, those hundreds of people were almost injured. Dozens of garrison soldiers had broken hands and feet, and Feng Ming's group was beaten forty times and could not move. At this time, Li Jing regretted that he was so powerful that he had to send doctors to treat these people. There were not many doctors accompanying him on the ship, and Li Jing had to send all the doctors to several clinics in Yao Street and the dock to invite all the doctors. The medical money alone was 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.

"What is this Sun Deyan?"

Qiu Shengong was in a very good mood and was bullied in this fortress. Now, seeing Feng Ming and other former soldiers were beaten to death one by one, and their whole family was sent to laborers, I felt so relieved, just like June yao had eaten a piece of ice. Seeing Li Jing asking about Sun Deyan's entrance, I quickly replied: "Sun Deyan is the former lord of the garrison. He was also an officer of Da Xie Village. Later, I heard that he offended Feng Zhang and was Feng Zhangbian on the island of Shamen." Speaking of this, Qiu Shengong also had some disdain on his face, "This garrison has always regarded himself as literary, and has claimed to have thousands of articles and countless strategies for governing the country. But in fact, I think he is just a crazy scholar. Since he arrived at this garrison, he was completely obscene by Feng Ming. It is better to fart and even a single garrison can't command. Later, Qian Qianqin just drank and didn't care about anything."

After hearing Lao Hei's words, Li Jing remembered that in addition to the old Hei who had joined him early, the monk Shu Jinyao also had Feng Ming who besieged him, Qin Yong and others. In fact, there was another one who had nothing to do, that is, the garrison leader Sun Deyan who had been forgotten.

"So you'll throw such an incompetent guy Qian Qianqin to the labor camp together." Wang Chong said disdainfully when he heard the garrison master's incompetence.

Li Jing shook his head: "No, although Sun Deyan is incompetent, that's the past. I was not in charge at that time. But now I am dealing with the guilty soldiers. Although he is suspected of dereliction of duty, Bi Jing is not from Feng Ming and his gang. At this time, we cannot suppress him. Go and call him, and I want to see what this person looks like."

Sun Deyan was quickly brought up. As soon as he saw Ren, Li Jing and others frowned. This guy was a 8th-rank officer, but he was wearing a stained mess and could not tell that his original beauty was robe. He had no crown on his head, his hair was covered with messy beards, and his face was like a handful of grass. His eyes were red, and his eyes were piled with booze. There was a wine gourd hanging around his waist. He walked with a sway and seemed to be still awake.

Originally, Li Jing heard that he had thousands of articles and countless strategies for governing the country, and wanted to see him. But now when he saw this, he suddenly felt lost. He waved his hand and said, "Let him re-arrange a house and arrange another errand for him."

When Sun Deyan saw Li Jing just glanced at him and drove him away, he immediately said coldly: "Take in words, the slaughter of the loser; the slaughter of the loser is the son of the loser. I heard that the new generals of the town were decisive and decisive, and I was so successful. I thought I would meet the wise master, but I didn't expect that it was just to take the show, let's go! I continued to drink my wine, and everyone else woke me up and I was drunk alone."

Li Jing smiled: "What do you mean are you really capable?"

Sun Deyan twisted his neck and looked at Yao, no longer looking at Li Jing. Li Jing couldn't help but be happy. I don't know whether he has the ability or not, but he is really crazy. "If you have real ability, then you can give me some suggestions that are beneficial to the town. Whether it is military strategy or economic and livelihood, it is all."

Sun Deyan looked back at Li Jing, and saw that he was joking. He finally put away the crazy look on his face. After thinking carefully, he said, "First, release Feng Ming and Liu Qi immediately. Second, kill all the garrison soldiers involved in the siege. Third, since those gangsters and gang guards have already been responsible for the scepter, they should be released immediately."

"Say your reasons."

"The reason is very simple. When the general first came to Shaman Island, he used such thunderous means, but he just wanted to establish his authority. Yaojie's move has completely achieved the goal of establishing his authority. After establishing his authority, what the general needs most is to be low-key rather than continue to be so high-profile. Shaman Island is not an ordinary island, and there are countless interests involved behind it. I believe the general has known it for a long time. Since that is the case, no one wants a general who is too strong and does not take all his attention to the command of Shaman Island, because it seems that there is a possibility of losing control in their eyes."

"Another, behind the general is Jieshuai and Jieshuai Sima, and even the Cui family, Yu family, Zhao Wang and Han family, but don't forget that although the Feng family is the rival of the Cui family, if the general rushed too far and hard, he may eventually be attacked by the Feng family at all costs. The wood is fascinated by the forest, and the wind will destroy it. No matter what, the general is now under the jurisdiction of the Da Xie Fort. No matter how Cui Fenghan and Han fight, the general should still protect themselves appropriately. Feng Ming and Liu Qi have been blamed for being a scepter and punished a lot. If they are detained as laborers, then the Feng and Liu families are likely to make strong revenge reactions in the future. If they are released now, there is still room for ease."

"After all, my opinion is that the general handled the long street well before. When he first climbed Salmon Island, he showed his strength and intimidated many strange intruders. However, the strongest force is not when attacking, but when he is attracted but not fired. After the fist is hit, he must retract to accumulate the next attack power. If he keeps stretching, how can he get the next time? Therefore, after showing his strength, what the general needs to keep a low profile. He not only lets the intruders feel your power, but also lets other intruders not feel your threat. In this way, the general can do what you want to do with peace of mind until your power is no longer overwhelming, and then you can show your fangs with a slight slightest expression!"

Li Jing frowned and pondered. Sun Deyan's words did make some sense. However, he did not completely agree.

"You are right. From now on, I will appoint you as the counselor of Shamen Town to be responsible for military affairs. You can go down and rest first."

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