"Boss Zhao, according to your plan, our city will probably be even stronger than Shuozhou City!"
Han Zhong listened carefully and couldn't help but sigh.
If this city is built, the Tartars will definitely be restless.
You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.
The city is supported by mountains and protected by rivers. As long as 3,000 soldiers are stationed there, they can stop tens of thousands of Tatar troops.
At the same time, there is grassland next to the city, where horses can be raised and cavalry can be trained.
Hundreds of cavalrymen could roam freely on the Xichuan grassland, setting off in the morning and returning in the evening.
Whenever the Tartars came to graze on the Xichuan grassland, they would be disturbed unless they always maintained a force of more than a thousand cavalrymen.
"Shuozhou City is nothing. Once our Yinzhou City is built, it will be like a sword hanging over the heads of the Tartars."
Tang Yanhai snorted coldly.
"Yes, if the commander of Yinzhou at that time had the vision and courage of Zhao Tou, it would not have been completely destroyed by the Tartars, and not a single tile would remain. We would not have been captured and taken to Shulechuan to repair the city!" Lin Feng also sighed.
Han Zhong continued, "However, you are lucky to have met us, Zhao Tou. Otherwise, you would have been squeezed dry by the Tartars, and the day the city was built would have been the day you died."
"That's true, Zhao Tou, you are the saviors of our 1,600 Dayin people. We have already agreed that from now on, our lives will be in your hands!"
Lin Feng looked at Zhao Muyun with eyes full of gratitude and admiration.
"Haha, everything has its own destiny. If I, Zhao Muyun, hadn't met you, how could I be where I am today?"
“We all make each other better!”
Zhao Muyun looked at the few people with a smile, and at this moment he exuded a faint aura of superiority.
There is also a solemn and majestic aura in his smile, which is full of passion and murderousness.
Han Zhong and others were startled.
From now on, they must always maintain the dignity of a leader for Zhao Muyun.
You can't joke around as you please like you did at the Yanqingdun Beacon Tower.
What was even more shocking was Zhao Muyun's second uncle, Zhao Wen.
Four or five months ago, Zhao Muyun was just a stupid young man who was ignorant.
Seeing him being recruited to serve as a soldier in the border army, Zhao's mother secretly wiped away her tears many times.
The last time he returned to the village to seek justice for Zhao Pu, Zhao Muyun had become a completely different person, with an indescribable wisdom and courage all over his body.
Not only did he pull Zhao Pu back from the brink of death, he also punished the evil young man and collected money for his medicine.
Now when he returns again, he has become a provincial governor.
A raging fire is burning in the Zhao family’s ancestral tomb!
You should know that Zhao Muyun's father, Zhao Wen's brother Zhao Wu, was only a squad leader before his death, but he had already become the pride of the whole village.
Now that Zhao Muyun has become a captain, he did not spread the news when he went to the village to pick them up.
If the villagers knew about this, wouldn’t they be furious?
However, one always wants to return home in glory. Zhao Muyun took his family away only as a temporary measure, and he would have to go back eventually.
"Okay, we all understand these things, so there's no need to talk about them all the time." Zhao Muyun saw the expressions on everyone's faces, understood what was going on, and smiled faintly.
"Han Zhong, you will be responsible for supervising the construction of the city. Except for the kitchen battalion and the medical team, all personnel will participate in the project!"
"Old Tang, your scout battalion should increase patrols and double their reconnaissance range. There are still refugees in Yinzhou. Bring them all here."
"Lin Feng, Second Uncle, you will gather the masons and civil engineers who will be repairing the city, draw up the design drawings, and start work as soon as possible."
“…”
After coming down from the top of the mountain, the camp had already been set up.
There is strength in numbers. At this time, they even dug a trench between the riverbank and the hillside.
It seems that they have suffered from the aftereffects of rushing to build a project in Zhendibao during those few days, and they are digging trenches when they have nothing to do.
Han Zhong and others each stayed at their posts and took action immediately.
Soon, a dozen people who had worked as craftsmen were found among the 1,300 people.
Not only did they work as bricklayers, but they also participated in the design of the city built by the Tatars in Shulechuan.
He has also participated in the construction of many castles before.
Now expanding on the old Yinzhou City is a familiar thing for them.
Soon, they drew a blueprint of the city.
The streets are well distributed, with government offices, warehouses, houses, stables, shops, courtyards, barracks, training grounds, and armories all available.
At the same time, defensive facilities such as city walls, city gates, battlements, loopholes, parapets, arrow towers, and drawbridges are also fully taken into consideration.
They gave it to Zhao Muyun for approval.
Based on these, Zhao Muyun planned out enough open space in the city for future use.
As the crude salt in the salt lake is mined and transported to the city, it is purified and turned into fine salt.
This industrial chain can attract more full-time workers to find employment.
In addition, the land was planned on the river valley plain south of the city.
These lands will be distributed among his subordinates in the future.
Compared with military pay, land can make these people feel more at ease and inspire their enthusiasm to defend the country.
The blueprint was quickly finalized, and the city was built in general terms first, with the rest being added and improved later.
Next comes the cost of construction.
At present, Zhao Muyun has 1,000 taels of silver from the Tartars to redeem people, as well as gold and silver obtained from destroying the Tartar royal court. The wages for building the city are not a problem at all.
Besides, the people who work here are all our own people, so we just need to provide them with three meals a day.
Zhao Muyun hid a lot of meat during his trip to the grassland, and there was also enough food and fodder.
