Chapter 439

More and more refugees are pouring into refugee camps, and these homeless people only want to have a place to settle down, fill their stomachs and keep themselves alive.

With the increase of refugees, a city-style refugee camp gradually formed a scale, but there were no walls outside the city, only trenches. As long as you cross the trenches, there were houses inside. The outermost houses all faced out with small windows. In fact, those houses were all solid fortresses.

A city without a wall can paralyze the Qing army and allow Dorgon to attack Jiazhuang. At that time, Li Guodong will bring his army to increase the defense of Jiazhuang's city wall and also bring barbed wire. In this way, Li Guodong will have the opportunity to save Lu Xiangsheng and his Tianxiong army, causing the Qing army to suffer heavy losses in front of this city wall-free wall-free wall-based city wall.

All the new refugees were resettled. Li Guodong did not let these refugees go to his black coal mine or black iron mine in Shanxi to mine. Instead, after properly resettling the refugees, he began to select strong men from the refugees and then conduct military training on these men.

The newly trained refugees in the Julu refugee camp are only musketeers and spearmen, no archers, no knives, no gunners, and no cavalry. Because the training of archers takes a lot of time, it takes at least three years to train a qualified archer, and only more than a year of time is left for these refugees. Li Guodong must allow them to join the battle within one year. When the Tianxiong Army arrives in Jiazhuang, these militias will come in handy.

The training time of a spearman is much shorter than that of a knife player. It takes about two years to train a knife player, and a good knife costs much more than an ordinary spear.

As for cultivating refugees into gunners, it is impossible to do in a short period of time. The gunner's military pay is similar to that of cavalry. Cultivating an excellent gunner is no less difficult than an excellent cavalry. Therefore, the eight thousand strong men selected by Li Guodong from tens of thousands of refugees will all be spearmen and musket soldiers. When the Qing army surrounded the Tianxiong Army, Li Guodong's artillery, nine-headed bird heavy musket soldiers, knife players and cavalry will naturally go to help in the battle.

With a bite of food, the refugees worked hard, Li Guodong gave all the precautions to Wang Quan, but he took him for a hundred nights and went to Gaoyang County.

In Gaoyang County, the guards at the gate saw a team of furious horses coming. The guards guards did not dare to neglect them. Someone stepped forward and asked, "Who is coming?"

Han Dashan rushed forward and took off the waist sign from his waist and handed it on: "Under the command of General Li Guodong, the former cabinet elder, came to visit Mr. Sun Kaiyang."

Li Guodong stepped forward and handed over the jade waist tag: "I am the general Li Laoer. This is a certain waist tag, please check it out!"

The soldiers had also heard about Li Guodong. Seeing him wearing a python robe, jade belt, black hat, and a group of tall horses under his crotch. When he looked at his hundred clans, everyone was wearing brocade clothes and riding a good war horse, the city gate officer quickly made way: "Please, General Li."

Li Guodong bowed his hand and turned his head to order: "Everyone dismounts and leads the horse into the city, don't disturb the people!"

When Li Guodong and the others entered the city, a soldier asked the city gate official in confusion: "Sir, Li Guodong is a Jin army. He came to the county town under our northern Zhili, and brought so many soldiers. Is this considered a private transfer of troops? It is not in line with the laws and regulations of the court?"

The city gate official glared: "General Li is the general of Zhenguo. He has more than 100 elite servants under his command. The dignified general of Zhenguo took more than 100 servants out. How could he be considered as a private transfer of troops!"

Li Guodong took Han Dashan and Yebusuo into the city and soon asked about Sun's mansion.

Although Sun Chengzong was a former chief, there were still guards standing guard at the gate of Sun's mansion. When he saw a group of people coming to Sun's mansion, the guards stopped Li Guodong and his group: "Who is coming?"

Li Guodong walked forward and handed over the waist sign: "General Li Lao Er, the general of the State, came to visit Mr. Sun, and hoped that his brother would inform him."

The guard took the waist sign and looked at him, clasped his fists to Li Guodong and saluted: "Please wait for a moment, and the young man will report to Mr. Sun."

Not long after, the guard came out and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come with General Li and Xiaodi, Mr. Sun is waiting in the study."

Li Guodong asked Han Dashan to take Ye Bushang outside the mansion and wait outside the mansion with the guards.

Walking into the Sun Mansion, passing through the front hall, and coming to the backyard, we saw Sun Chengzong walking out of the study with the help of a little maid to welcome Li Guodong.

"I've seen Mr. Sun!" Li Guodong knelt on one knee and saluted. If he had not brought people back to the Ming Dynasty to help the war, he would not have even had the chance to serve the Ming Dynasty, and he was still a thief from the Frontier. It was precisely because Sun Chengzong had obtained a legal identity for him that Li Guodong's team grew rapidly and achieved today's results.

It can be said that without Sun Chengzong, there would not be any glorious military achievements that would have been there again and again. Of course, Yang Sichang was quite helpful to Li Guodong. So when building the Julu Jiazhuang Village, Li Guodong was still a little hesitant, not knowing whether he could do it right or wrong.

In the eyes of outsiders, Li Guodong was Yang Sichang's man. Next year, the Qing army invaded, and Yang Sichang wanted to negotiate peace with the Qing Dynasty. In fact, it was Chongzhen's intention to make peace. Lu Xiangsheng was the main battle, which caused Yang Sichang and Lu Xiangsheng to have disagreements in politics. Gao Qiqian was also the main peace faction, but he did not move his troops and did not give food and grass, killing Lu Xiangsheng. From the perspective of national justice, Li Guodong must not be able to watch Lu Xiangsheng die in Julu.

Sun Chengzong quickly stepped forward and helped Li Guodong up: "General Li is so polite! I am the former elder of the court who retired and returned home, and Guodong, you are now a pillar of the court!"

Walking into the study, the guest of the master sat down, Li Guodong explained his purpose: "Mr. Sun, the last general came to visit. In addition to thanking Mr. Sun for his kindness for his support back then, there is another thing. The last general came to Jiannu's insider that Jiannu will invade the Ming Dynasty, Zhili and Shandong. Jiannu deeply hated Mr. Sun and would inevitably attack Gaoyang County! In the future, this place is to help Gaoyang County strengthen its city defense, so as not to be harmed by Mr. Sun and the people of Gaoyang! "

"This matter is serious?" Sun Chengzong was shocked.

"Everything that said is true!"

"How do you save me Gaoyang people?" Sun Chengzong asked.

Li Guodong said: "At the end, we need to inspect the Gaoyang city wall, draw drawings to enhance the city defense, and then hand it over to Mr. Sun to transform the city wall to strengthen the defense."

"It's so good. Although I'm going to return home to retire, I'm going to mobilize the people of Gaoyang to build the city wall. This little thing is not worth mentioning."

While talking, the little maid who had just helped Sun Chengzong go out and added tea: "Master, it's getting late, it's time to have dinner."

Sun Chengzong was stunned when he heard Li Guodong's talk, and turned to look at the little maid.

Li Guodong didn't notice the little maid entering the door at all. When he saw Sun Chengzong looking at the little maid in a daze, he turned his head and looked at the maid with all eyes. He saw that the little maid looked about fifteen or sixteen years old, with beautiful eyebrows and beautiful eyes.

The little maid blushed when Li Guodong saw it. The teapot fell to the ground with a "pop" sound, and it was smashed. That's not all, the hot hot water splashed onto Li Guodong's pants, and Li Guodong was burned and hurt.

"Ah!" the little maid screamed, turned around and ran out of the study.

Li Guodong said in his heart: This little maid is probably going to be in trouble.

But looking at the expression on Sun Chengzong's face, although he was annoyed, he looked a little reluctant. Li Guodong thought to himself: Could this little maid be the maid of Old Man Sun?

Seeing Li Guodong's surprised look, Sun Chengzong smiled awkwardly: "The second daughter is my granddaughter. I just blame me for being too spoiled and lacking discipline on weekdays. I hope General Li will not blame me!"
