During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Jinzhou was an important border defense fortress. The Ming Dynasty built a solid city wall here. After the Qingting entered the Central Plains, Jinzhou's strategic status declined, but it was still a major defense center. During the Kangxi and Qianlong periods, Jinzhou City was rebuilt. After the Opium War, due to the rapid invasion of Russia in the south, Jinzhou's strategic status was improved. In the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), and in the sixth year of Guangxu (1880), Jinzhou City was rebuilt.

The current Jinzhou City is generally a rectangular, divided into two cities: the main city and the Dongwencheng. The main city is square, with a single length of about 1,000 meters and a city height of about 8 meters. There is a moat outside the city. Each city wall is opened on one gate, the east gate Ningyuan, the south gate Yong'an, the west gate Guangshun, and the north gate Zhenbei. Among them, Ningyuan Gate connects to Dongwencheng, which is 500 meters long from east to west and long, and the north to south is the same as the main city, and is more than 1,000 meters high. Dongwencheng City is about 5 meters high, and there is a city gate in each of the three directions of the south and north, called: Xiaodongmen, Xiaonanmen, and Xiaobeimen. Although the scale of Jinzhou City is not large, the city wall is quite solid. According to ancient standards, it is indeed a solid city.

Since the People's Army once used Jinzhou as its logistics headquarters, some renovations have been carried out in Jinzhou City. The city mainly renovated military camps and warehouses for material reserves and garrisons, and expanded the roads inside and outside the city, planned the location of the railway station, and renovated and built the drainage system in the city, and even reserved the location of buried wires and tap water pipes.

The fortifications in Jinzhou City were mainly built outside the city. Although the walls of Jinzhou City were strong and thick, they are now entering the age of thermal weapons. The targets of the city walls were too obvious and were not suitable fortifications. The People's Army built a large number of sheep and horse walls and castles outside the city, dug trenches to connect, and set up a large number of gun positions and machine gun fire points.

This also provided a lot of convenience for Gao Jin, Ouyang Longxing and his group, because they could move in directly after entering the city without worrying about it. In fact, after the transformation of the People's Army, Jinzhou had very good basic conditions, and it was located on a major transportation route from the northeast to Guanzhong, so the business was quite developed. If it weren't for this bandit invasion, Gao Jin would have taken office here and could easily achieve political achievements.

Dongwencheng was basically transformed into a warehouse by the People's Army. Now most of it is empty and converted into a military camp. Therefore, Ouyang Longxing led his army to station in Dongwencheng, while Gao Jin and other administrative personnel lived in a large empty house in the main city, which was also the temporary office of the city. The owner of this house was originally a bully in Jinzhou. After the People's Army occupied Jinzhou, it was slaughtered as a chicken. The house was naturally confiscated by the city and became the public property of the city. Of course, their guard company was together and responsible for the city's security work. It turned out that the prefect of the Jinzhou prefecture was like all the yamen in this era, and it was ruined. If it were not for the value of its cultural relics, it would have been flattened. In the planning of Jinzhou City, this place was planned for museums.

On the occasion of separation, Gao Jin and Ouyang Longxing made an appointment to hold a meeting in the city at 8 pm, and the leaders of the three regiments also called to learn about the situation in Jinzhou and determine the next plan.

After the People's Army was resettled, Ouyang Longxing told Zhang Zuolin, Huang Wei and Chen Qing'an that he would go to the city for a meeting at 8 o'clock in the evening and asked them all to go back to rest.

After saying goodbye to Ouyang Longxing, Zhang Zuolin returned to his army station. It was almost time for dinner. Zhang Zuolin had dinner with his old brothers as usual. On the one hand, he said that although he was promoted, he did not forget his old feelings; on the other hand, he stared at Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei and refused to let the two drink.

Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei are both bandits, and they pay attention to eating meat and drinking big bowls. It can be said that they are drinking without alcohol every day. In the past, when Zhang Zuolin worked in the insurance team, of course, he was the two of them, and they defected to the People's Army. However, when they were stationed in Xinmin Mansion, they also asked them to drink a small bowl every day. After all, when they were in Xinmin Mansion, they were in their own team, and no one would say anything, as long as it was not drinking to make things happen.

But now Zhang Zuolin's team is not only the official People's Army, but also in Jinzhou. This is not in the Xinminfu. Of course, we must strictly abide by the People's Army's rules to avoid giving the population a solid foundation. The People's Army's military discipline is extremely strict. Although drinking is not completely prohibited in the army when drinking. Generally, soldiers will be allowed to drink some wine before or after victory to celebrate, but drinking is absolutely forbidden in normal times. Now it is a war period, so drinking is naturally strictly prohibited in the army.

Zhang Zuolin could still feel at ease with other brothers, but Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei were both ancestors who caused trouble. If they were not careful, they would cause trouble. No one could control them except himself, so Zhang Zuolin could only stare at them at all times.

Sure enough, while eating, Tang Yulin complained again and said, "This overseas Chinese is too ignorant of the rules. He didn't say that a woman was the mayor, and he didn't hold a welcome banquet when he came, so that everyone could have a good meal and didn't understand any human accidents."

Zhang Sifei also said: "That's right, everyone said, we are working hard to work hard for them. What's the purpose of this? It's better to be happy when the Yuan Shu joins the insurance team!"

Sun Liechen laughed and said, "Look, you two are just greedy. Don't you just want to drink? What things do you do if you pull them?"

Tang Yulin was also a little embarrassed and said, "I have been out of Xinmin Mansion for more than 10 days, and I haven't touched a drop of wine, and the birds faded out of my mouth." As he said that, he peeked at Zhang Zuolin again.

Zhang Zuolin sighed, and there was no way to deal with them, but he also knew that their patience was at its limit. If they were not allowed to drink some wine, they would probably have to hold up something if they were fine, so he said, "One person has a bowl, not a lot of drinks."

Tang Yulin and Zhang Sifei were overjoyed when they heard this. Tang Yulin nodded repeatedly and said, "One bowl is just one bowl, just let me drink a few sips. Damn, this is not delicious if you don't drink it."

Zhang Zuolin took out a bottle of wine and poured a full bowl for each of them, which looked almost 4 or 5 taels. Zhang Zuolin knew that the alcohol content of both of them was starting at 2 pounds, so it would be fine if they drank so much, just to satisfy their cravings.

Sure enough, Tang Yulin picked up the wine bowl, took half a bowl in one gulp, then let out a long breath and said, "That's how he's so fucking happy."

On the other side, Zhang Sifei also pulled down most of the bowl, then put it down on the table, ate a few more bites of the dishes, and said, "Everyone, I, Sifei, have never studied any books and don't understand any principles. Today I am going to ask everyone for advice. You guys, what is the purpose of this overseas Chinese sending a woman to be the mayor? Could it be that women can really become officials in overseas Chinese?"

Sun Liechen said: "As far as I know, women can really be officials with overseas Chinese, or are they real officials. In Shandong, there are many female veterans who are officials."

Tang Yulin took another sip of wine and said, "Don't this woman stay at home to watch the children? What kind of official can she be? I think this woman is probably the old woman's lover, so she became the mayor. I heard that this woman is in charge of the family, but there is a sign of a country that is destroyed. Could it be that this overseas Chinese can't do anything? Lao Geda, what do you think!"

Zhang Zuolin sneered for a while and said, "This... I can't say it well." He turned to a person and said, "Mr. Yuan, you have a high knowledge, what do you think?"

Mr. Yuan is named Yuan Jinkai, and he is Zhang Zuolin's aide. He is a scholar. Among Zhang Zuolin's group, he is the only person with fame and fame. He is quite strategic and has given Zhang Zuolin many good ideas, so he is highly valued by Zhang Zuolin.

Seeing Zhang Zuolin asking himself, Yuan Jinkai said calmly: "Since the birth of Chinese overseas, they have won everything and won the battle. It took only 6 or 7 years to build this foundation. Even the court can ignore it. This time, they defeated the four great powers of Britain, France, Japan and Russia. How could such heroes act randomly? What's more, women have been in power since ancient times. During the Warring States Period, there was the dictatorship of Queen Mother Xuan, the Han Dynasty and the Lü Empire, and the Tang Dynasty even had the Wu clan to be emperor. In our Qing Dynasty, everyone knows that the real emperor is not Guangxu, but the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, and I have not lost the country? So saying that women in power is a sign of the country's destruction is nonsense. Take the female mayor sent by overseas Chinese this time. In my opinion, this woman is probably not simple, so don't underestimate her."

Tang Yulin was still a little dissatisfied and said, "Old Yuan, you have never seen this girl before, how could you know she is not simple!"

Yuan Jinkai smiled and said, "Yu Ting, you like to listen to books the most, why did you forget to say that there is often a saying in books that monks and Taoists should be generals, and you must have a magic trick and not underestimate the enemy."

After hearing this, Zhang Zuolin suddenly realized. In fact, this is a common old joke in traditional Chinese storytelling dramas. As long as the enemy monks, Taoists, and women go to fight, they must have some special skills. They either know any magic or evil magic or use hidden weapons, which will often cause the protagonist to suffer a great loss. Of course, this is a plot story made up in storytelling dramas, not a real thing. However, Yuan Jinkai used this example to allow Zhang Zuolin to better understand his meaning, after all, Zhang Zuolin's cultural level is not high.

After saying this, Zhang Zuolin understood it. To be honest, although he did not have any concept of ethics, he was still influenced by traditional habits and was somewhat contemptuous of Gao Jin. However, after hearing Yuan Jinkai's words, he immediately put down his contempt and turned to heavier. At the same time, he also broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, Yuan Jinkai reminded him, otherwise he might have really mislead the matter, so he said: "Thank you Mr. Yuan for his teaching. Zuolin has been taught. But the gentleman thought that my idea would be raised by Commander-in-Chief Ouyang, Mayor Gao and others at the meeting tonight."

Yuan Jinkai pondered for a while before saying, "You might as well put it forward, but don't just say it too much, just see how they respond."
