The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 435
This fort also claims to be the residence of thousands of households in Wang Xuqian, where they hoard fields and grow grain. Hundreds of households in the fort are not there. The fort chief and deputy fort chiefs are leading people to plow new land outside, and no one pays any attention to them.

Yang Zhen rode his horse around and found that the location of the fort was quite good. There should be a small road on the west side near the sea to avoid the fort in front of Duan Chongshan.

But when they got here, they were blocked by this fort again, and there was no path to the west, unless they came around from other places on the sea.

Then try to find a way to the east.

Ding Yi from Nunniang, make this place into a net, and prevent a bird from flying in?Yang Zhen was cursing in his heart, but he still had to continue to pass.

Each thousand households has a large amount of land, all of which are now occupied by Ding Yi, and Ding Yi also asked them to plow new fields everywhere. This Ding Yi is really greedy for money, why hoard so many fields?
Fortunately, Ding Yi is not the general soldier of Denglai, otherwise it would be difficult to get along with him.

In this way, Yang Zhen cursed all the way, passed four or five forts all the way, and stayed at the edge of one fort in the middle, and arrived near Longshan outside Dengzhou City on the second day, which was less than a few miles away from Dengzhou.

At around nine o'clock in the morning that day, he marched to the foot of Longshan with a large group of soldiers and horses.

He suddenly narrowed his eyes and shook his head again.

Here in Longshan, when he came here, Ding Yi asked Xu Fuzuo to trick him into going to Dengzhou for a discussion, so he passed by here.

It's been a few years since I've been here, and it's completely changed.

At the foot of Longshan Mountain, there is a large circle of low walls surrounding the mountain, forming a huge camp. Inside, the flags are flying and the sound is loud, as if someone is training soldiers.

Since when is there more barracks here?

Yang Zhen looked at the barracks, it was extremely huge, only a low wall of about two meters around the outside, and the circumference was estimated to be three or four miles.

Because it was blocked by the wall, I couldn't see what was going on inside, but with this perimeter, it was estimated that at least three to five thousand soldiers and horses could be stationed inside.

Outside the barracks, there are fields everywhere, including mountain fields and paddy fields. The mountain fields are all planted with soybeans, and the paddy fields are now all grown with rice.

From a distance, you can see a small number of people doing farm work on the mountainside.

This barracks is not only big, but it also blocks the road. If he wants to go to Dengzhou, he must go through this barracks.

Because he was walking behind, observing the terrain and the forts all the way, suddenly there was a noise in front, and soon, a servant ran over to tell him.

"The guards claim to be soldiers and horses of the Dengzhou Battalion. After handing over our weapons, let us line up and enter one by one?"

"Bastard, do you want to rebel?" Yang Zhen was furious. He was appointed by the imperial court to participate in the Dengzhou battalion, and his nominal superior was Xu Fuzuo, the commander-in-chief of the Dengzhou battalion, and he was the chief officer of the Dengzhou battalion.

Yang Zhen rushed to the front angrily, and saw two rows of Dengzhou soldiers at the gate of the barracks, with about 15 soldiers in each row.

Everyone's face was livid and murderous, and everyone put one hand on the waist knife and stared at them coldly.

The gate of the camp at the back was wide open, and the sound of soldiers training could still be heard inside.

A man in Qianzong's armor was standing at the door, watching them quietly.

Yang Zhen gasped when he saw them the first time.

On such a hot day, among the 31 people on the opposite side, [-] of them were wearing iron armor. The shining armor made their eyes shine.

There are 3000 people in his town, and less than 50 of them wear iron armor, and most of them are officers. Are people jealous?

"I am Yang Zhen, general of the Dengzhou Camp, which battalion are you from?" Yang Zhen said angrily.

President Qian on the opposite side showed a slightly surprised expression when he heard the words, and said indifferently: "I am Dengzhou Guerrilla Zhou Yougen."

Yang Zhen suddenly realized that this was recently promoted, his deputy.

What are you guerrillas doing in Qian Zong's armor?However, considering the efficiency of the imperial court, it would be considered good to be able to send the rewards and the armored official seal here after three months.

"Zhou Gueran, what do you mean?" Yang Zhen said with a straight face, "Why do you want my troops to disarm? Who gave the order?"

"It's me." At this moment, another person's voice came from inside, and then Xu Fuzo came out swaggeringly.

Yang Zhen's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu."

"General Yang, you are new to Dengzhou, and the situation may be unclear. Let me tell you again. Listen carefully." Xu Fuzuo said loudly.

Yang Zhen didn't dare to make a sound, so he could only bite the bullet and listen.

"Your soldiers and horses are all a bunch of rabble, all of them have to go through retraining, and they will be in this battalion from now on, let's talk about training and training."

Yang Zhen opened his mouth slightly, with a look of disbelief.

Many generals around him were not convinced, and dared to say that they were a mob.

"Not convinced? Not satisfied, there will be a ship to Lushun tomorrow, you and Lushun's soldiers and horses will fight together and have a look?" Xu Fuzuo said calmly.

"..." Yang Zhen and other generals lowered their heads.

Are you kidding me, who dares to beat Hou Jin, this is not courting death.

But they also know that Ding Yi's troops are famous for fighting back gold, so they can't accept it now.

"I don't want to fight Houjin, just train here, Yang Zhen, let your soldiers and horses go in, and do what you say inside."

Yang Zhen gritted his teeth, not daring not to listen, so he could only give orders, and his subordinates followed the orders.

All the soldiers quickly lined up, one by one, and then handed over their weapons.

Yang Zhen brought dozens of servants with him, which is also the reason why he didn't deduct the military salary very much, so he kept relatively few.

As a result, Xu Fuzuo asked him to send the servants in as well.

The servants looked at him, and Yang Zhen was a little unhappy: "This is my humble servant?"

Xu Fuzuo said angrily: "My servant is also training inside."

Yang Zhen didn't dare to contradict Xu Fuzou openly, so he had no choice but to let the servants in as well.

In this way, as soon as he arrived in Yangzhen, Dengzhou, he became a polished commander.

He watched the soldiers enter the camp, and he didn't know what happened in the barracks, but Xu Fuzuo led people from the east wing of the barracks, accompanied him across the barracks, and entered Dengzhou City.

Along the way, he kept hearing various shouts inside.

"Turn right. Turn right, girl, you don't know left and right, fuck."

"Where is the left?"

"Bound with cloth."

"louder please."

"Bound with cloth."

He listened to all kinds of commotion inside, and suddenly felt that there were thousands of troops inside.

"Mr. Xu, how many soldiers and horses are there?"

"My three thousand soldiers and horses are here, as well as your three thousand soldiers and horses." Xu Fuzuo said with a smile, "It's a good thing that they all come to train and train."

Only then did Yang Zhen know that Xu Fuzuo's three thousand troops were also training here.

He asked again, how long have you been training your soldiers and horses?How long will it take to practice in total?
Xu Dao, my soldiers and horses have only been here for a month, and I heard that they will be trained for a year.

"What?" Yang Zhen almost jumped up. As soon as I arrived in Dengzhou, I took my soldiers to train for a year?
"Don't panic, I don't want you to provide food, that's a good thing." Xu Fuzou said again.

"What if the imperial court has something to do? Let us send troops?" Yang Zhen blushed. Anyone who suddenly changed from a general with [-] troops to a commanding officer would not be happy.

"What else can happen now? The tartars have been beaten away, it's all right, let's talk about something else." Xu Fuzuo said rudely.

That night, Xu Fuzuo invited him to dinner, but he saw Ding Yi, the general soldier of Dongjiang, and it was too late to say that he would not eat.
