Sun Jingting's speech was not fast, but his tone was very firm. After he finished speaking, it was a little messy in the backcourt. These civilians felt a little strange. They were kindly staying. The adult did not say a nice word, but instead said something to discipline them. Some people felt moved by the rush of the construction period, but when they thought that the original work was completed in two months, and one month would have to work twice as hard as they were now, and they were also a little hesitant.

Everyone dispersed in groups of three or three, all their expressions were unhappy.

Zhao Shiwen was not very happy either. After Sun Jingting came down, he said, "Mr. Sun, although your superiors asked you to preside over the overall military and political situation, your subordinates still have to object."

Sun Jingting said: "Are you against me adding money to them?"

"Yes." Zhao Shiwen said: "The monthly salary is one or two taels, and three meals are provided, and clothes and tools are given. They don't think about doing this at home. They will add another 30% to the salary. The salary will be as high as the servants of the border army. Even if we have money, we cannot use it like this. If the adults later said, the construction period will be completed and the 30% increase will be almost the same."

Sun Jingting said: "Those who just left, write down the money they have so far tomorrow morning, and then send it back in batches."

"Ah?" Zhao Shiwen was shocked, and everyone present was shocked.

"Sir," Nie Lei said: "There are a thousand people who just left."

"I have made up my mind just now," said Sun Jingting: "Even if all people are exposed, they will be able to get rid of the same amount."

Zhao Shiwen pondered for a while, with a look of respect on his face. He said, "It is indeed the best way. We cannot use military law to them. It is better to have those bastards."

Li Mengnian smiled and said, "This time there are many people, and next time I guess we won't be able to get rid of so many people. In the future, if the rules come out, those who violate will be reformed, and after the rules are established, they will not be so chaotic."

Sun Jingting nodded and said, "The civil servants will take care of this in the future. It would be fine if there was no constitution before. No matter how chaotic it is, it is your Zhao Da's responsibility."

"Yes, please don't worry, Lord Sun." Zhao Shiwen smiled and said, "As long as these guys are in control of their things, they will definitely be easier to control than anyone else."

Sun Jingting ignored him and stared at the front. After a while, he said: "We did not have the opportunity to do such a thing before. This time it is a rare lesson."

"It's really admirable for the sir to be so decisive and decisive," Zhao Shiwen smiled and said, "Even if there is so much reform at once, and if it is used to manage it in the future, will it cause insufficient manpower?"

"No." Sun Jingting looked at the people around him and said to Li Mengnian: "Mengnian will give you some opinions."

Li Mengnian didn't speak humbly, and smiled and said, "No... First, if there is a rebellion, there will be more people who stay. If you want to stay, you will work hard. Instead of doing things like you are now, your efficiency will be improved. Secondly, the flow of water is not corrupt, and there are many people. After the beginning of the New Year, the number of refugees has not only not been small, but it has increased. Perhaps Li Zhuang's attitude towards refugees has spread. Now even in the Pianguan, there are people from northern Shaanxi running to us, and the manpower available will increase and will not decrease."

...

Lu Da was transferred to the training camp for another twenty days. Although the training time was only one month long, it looked like a soldier. The construction periods in various places were very tight and manpower was needed. A batch of new tools went north from Xinpingbao and transferred a bureau's baggage to receive it. Lu Da's team was hit and everyone was very happy.

The batch of supplies was picked up from outside Xinpingbao, and everyone rushed back. Lu Da followed him every day, and sometimes he could take the car to recover his strength. He walked for two hours and rested for a while. He stopped the convoy at a designated location for lunch. At this time, Lu Da and others started to work. Ordinary baggage soldiers were very relaxed on the journey, and they sat in a circle on the ground waiting. People looked very relaxed. However, Lu Da found that everyone's waists couldn't help but stand up straight, and they sat in the team while sitting, and they stopped talking, and their voices were not loud... Lu Da couldn't help but snorted and said, "After all, they looked like soldiers."

"guard!"

The sentry not far away shouted, and then the team officer, the flag captain, and the bureau chief ordered to be on guard.

Lu Da jumped up suddenly, not caring about the big pot being burned, and quickly held the spear that he had placed beside him in his hand.

Most of the baggage soldiers used long spears, and they quickly formed a horizontal gun array according to their teams.

A small number of baggage soldiers took a coercion gun. They blew the fire cans, lit the fuse, and then clamped it to the faucet.

When doing these things, Lu Da couldn't help but tremble a little. Fortunately, the officers in the team were all veterans. Seeing that the officers were very calm, everyone calmed down.

Lu Daxin said: Don’t be attacking the Tartars!

He felt a little ashamed of his thoughts and a little ashamed of his military salary, but Lu Da couldn't help but be afraid, hoping that the enemy would not come.

"Okay, it's a return home."

Some of the officers stood on a high place, holding telescopes to look into the distance until they were confirmed, and the order of alert was lifted.

Lu Da breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that his legs were a little weak, and his vest and forehead were covered with sweat. He was a little grateful, and he hated that he was too timid, but he was more grateful.

Recently, the weather has gradually become warmer, and the superiors have issued warnings, and the baggage soldiers have begun to encounter many hidden dangers, and people are really nervous.

The villagers walked over in groups of three or three, and there was no road on the grassland. They were walking the road that the Yusheng convoy was used to walk, and the ruts made obvious wheel marks on the grassland... All trade roads were routes that Mongolian herdsmen often took when transitioning and moving, and were the shortest straight line distances between each department. Sometimes it was not necessarily straight lines. Due to the terrain, there might be mountains, hills or Gobi, or it might be blocking the road by sea or rivers.

These civilians had some supply vehicles beside them, and the baggage soldiers knew that they were people who were resigned. Sun Jingting went all the way and rectified them. In total, more than 2,000 people may have been resigned. Recently, fewer people have been resigned, but there are still many civilians walking back.

These civilians also saw the baggage camp. Their eyes were very complicated. Originally, they were mixed with the baggage camp, so they had no worries about food and clothing, and could also receive money on a monthly basis. This was an unexpected good thing at home, but they ended up messing up themselves.

As they were closer, Lu Da heard these civilians cursing, most of them were scolding Sun Jingting, and half were scolding Zhang Han.

Lu Da's heart was furious when he heard this, his hands tightened, and he wanted to stab one or two of them to death with a spear.

The officers had a cold face and did not ask the baggage soldiers to move. The civilians quickly disappeared in front of them. They only had old clothes and bags on them. He Yusheng also provided them with tents and tableware, and also provided food along the way. However, when they arrived at the field, they took back everything, including the tents and lunch boxes, and everyone thought it was right to do this.

"Damn it!" Lu Da cursed at the civilian not far away, and spitted again.

Many people follow suit, and some people unbutton their belts and urinate there.

"Okay!" The officers held back their laughter and scolded: "They are also people from our Datong. If they are rebelled, they are not enemies. They cannot behave like this."

Lu Da shouted with his neck straight: "Forget it if they scold Lord Sun. Lord Sun is really ruthless this time. But I really can't listen to them scolding Lord Zhang."

An officer sneered: "Don't worry, someone will deal with them soon."

...

After Sun Jingting was halfway through, the route north changed from a straight line to a zigzag shape. When he arrived at Daheihe Fort, there was already a lot of curses behind him.

In addition to the civil servant regulations, Sun Jingting also straightened out the responsibilities of many departments and made detailed provisions. When he arrived in Daheihe, it was already evening and it was dark soon, but there were civil servants and baggage soldiers like ants on the construction site of the castle. The entire construction site was full of people, and someone was already lighting the pine torches.

In any case, even officers, soldiers and civilians will be rewarded, while those who slacked off will be severely punished. Only then can people understand the urgency of things, and at the same time they realize that He Yusheng is not a good hall, so everyone is very motivated.

Wang Changfu was on the north shore, and he led a group of officers on patrol. Seeing this scene, he spat on the ground and cursed: "People are mean, they are good to them, and they don't appreciate it. They have to use a whip!"

Wang Yikui smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Lord Sun could do such a ruthless move this time. Yige is a thousand people smaller. This courage is not enough for ordinary people."

Wang Changfu snorted, as if he disagreed, but he did not refute, just touched his chin and looked at the military fort that had been completed.

This military fort was designed by Zhang Han himself. The first draft was the standard bastion in Zhang Han's memory. Later, after research and discussion, it felt that it was not possible to meet the firepower configuration required by the bastion for the time being... To guard the bastion, a large number of firearms must be distributed on the surface, especially artillery... Later, after the Military and Political Department and the Staff Department spent a lot of energy to transform the drawings, the final result was the fortress in front of us.

The completely round castle is not like the castle in Daming that is square. The Daheihe Fort is a small castle with a circumference of one mile and hundreds of steps. Each side of the castle is inclined, with a thick base, and a stone is used, and then slanted inward, as if it is a slope that is always upward.

The surface of the city wall is covered with rammed earth, and the outer layer is covered with bricks. The brick wrapping project is now underway. The craftsmen have mixed a large amount of rice paste and used rice paste to bond the brick surface.

Next is the female wall squadron. The wall is different from the traditional city wall, and a large number of shot openings are opened.

The castle has protruding parts on all sides, and unlike the traditional urn, it is a place where artillery and firearm troops are placed.

This is different from the many ridges that protrude at angles in Zhang Han's paintings, but there are also protruding parts used to cooperate with the front of the city wall to carry out firepower strikes in multiple aspects.

"This castle is easy to defend but difficult to attack..." Wang Changfu's face was full of satisfaction. He said: "With this castle, it is difficult to break through the defense even if it has thousands of troops!"
