Outside the city of Tongzhou, shacks were built. Yang Guozhu and Youdai's Ming army occasionally sent teams of villagers who were dragging their families from the surrounding villages. The villagers from Tongzhou who came were placed in shacks.

Although he wanted to resettle the surrounding villagers, Sun Chengzong still kept his heart. Even the villagers who came first, Sun Chengzong would not allow them to enter Tongzhou City in order to prevent the villagers from infiltrating the spies from the Later Jin Dynasty.

Li Laoer stood at the city gate, looking at the busy Ming soldiers outside, Sun Chengzong personally led the yamen runners and Zaoli in the city to check the situation of the porridge shed.

The Ming soldiers lit firewood, and a steaming pot was placed on it. In the pot, the porridge was made of millet, rice, sorghum rice, and a small amount of rice bran and wheat bran were mixed with the porridge. The standard for the porridge was to stand up and not pour. Such porridge could allow the villagers who came to Tongzhou to eat their stomachs and not starve to death.

"Report to the commander, we will bring back another 3,000 villagers at the end of today." You Dai came back and brought back thousands of villagers who were carrying bottles and jars.

According to Li Laoer's plan, Sun Chengzong carried out a strong wall to clear the fields within a radius of 100 miles. However, there was no need for the supervision of the Ming soldiers. All the villagers took away all the food at home before leaving their homes, and they would not even leave a grain of rice to the Later Jin army. In fact, these ordinary people were afraid of it on weekdays. Since they were about to escape, they could not leave any of the food at home, and it was impossible to leave a grain of food at home.

Naturally, all the iron pots, hoes, shovels and other ironware at home were taken away. You Dai didn't want those ironware to fall into Hou Jin's hands, so that they could not be made into weapons by them. The villagers' livestock and poultry, such as cattle, sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, and other livestock and poultry, would be taken away, and would definitely not be left to Hou Jin.

As for those clay pots, clay pots, wood furniture, etc., Youdai refused to let them bring them.

When migrating the villagers, many Ming soldiers saw the villagers holding valuable rags in their hands, and refused to let go no matter how they shouted. You Dai was anxious and asked someone to go up, snatch the rags from the villagers' hands and throw them on the ground, forcibly driving the villagers away.

In fact, in the past few days, Li Laoer himself has also moved the villagers. He brought a team of 100 cavalrymen. The cavalrymen all wore eight-petal wide-eaves and pointed iron helmets, red cotton armor inside, and mountain armor outside, which was completely dressed as elite Ming army. After going to various villages, Li Laoer and others shouted: "Friends, Jiannu is coming! In order to save all the villagers, Supervisor Sun invites you to hide in Tongzhou!"

When he heard that Jiannu was coming, most of the villagers left consciously and followed Li Laoer and the others to Tongzhou. There were also a few villagers who were reluctant to leave their homes. Li Laoer asked someone to force them out of their homes and took all their food away, leaving no grain of rice to the Later Jin army.

The villagers who were pulled outside Tongzhou City, under the command of Li Laoer, built shacks and porridge sheds at designated locations, and built toilets in several specific locations. Basically, villagers from the same village were placed on the same land, allowing them to live together in the same village and tribe.

As more and more people came, Sun Chengzong ordered that everyone from the Tongzhou Prefecture Yamen came out to help. The clerks from the yamen went out of the city to count the population, and made arrangements for the strong men and young and strong peasant women. After they were full, they began to start construction, digging trenches, and building a sheep and horse wall.

"Dear fellow villagers, if you want to protect your wives and children, protect your parents, and prevent them from being harmed by Jiannu, and for yourself, everyone will work harder to repair the fortifications outside the city! Only when you repair the fortifications can we Ming soldiers protect your safety!" Li Laoer and more than 100 soldiers stood on the construction site, personally directing the strong men and the healthy women to work.

"I have reported to the commander, more than 80,000 people have arrived outside Tongzhou City." A busy minor official wiped his sweat and reported to Sun Chengzong who was coming to inspect. Although it was the twelfth month of winter, the minor official was sweating profusely.

In the city, the shop opened by the Jiexiu Fan family was empty on the street, but in a shop opposite the shop, several Jinyiwei were hiding inside, peeping at the Jinshang merchants through the cracks in the door and the window holes.

This Shanxi merchant company, a rice shop, is now closed. The shopkeeper in the rice shop is discussing with several of his most trusted friends.

"The old fox Sun Chengzong actually gathered all the villagers around him to Tongzhou! The Khan entered the pass this time just for the sake of population and food! This old fox is strong and clearing the world, and wants to starve the Khan's army to death outside the city! Such a vicious plan is really vicious!" The shopkeeper said in a low voice.

A guy said, "The shopkeeper, there are so many people in Tongzhou City that they can't accommodate them at all. They can only be outside the city. There is no city wall protection outside the city. These Ming dogs dug a few trenches and built several sheep and horse walls. They want to use these to block the Great Jin Tianjun? Our Great Jin warriors are not going to break it in one attack!"

"Don't underestimate it!" said the shopkeeper, "The Minggou officer who supervised the villagers' work outside the city was covered with the most exquisite white armor of my Great Gold. Many of his soldiers in the city were wearing the Eight Banners armor. It seemed that this man was full of blood debts and had harmed countless warriors of Great Gold!"

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded outside.

The shopkeeper asked him to open the door. A guy stood up and walked to the door. The door opened a crack. The guy looked outside and found that there was no one on the street outside. Then the guy opened the door and put the person knocking outside in.

When the person who came in saw the shopkeeper, he immediately bowed and said, "Shopkeeper, the new Minggou officer villain has already found out. This person was originally a horse thief from the Frontier. He came here after being invited by the Minggou court. The Minggou name is Li Laoer."

"Li Lao Er?" The shopkeeper's voice changed, "It was this dog thief who harmed our Fan family caravan! The caravans of the Eight Great Masters were destroyed in the hands of this person! This person colluded with the Mongolians and attacked our caravan, and even the master was killed by him!"

"Shopkeeper, we have to report this to the Khan quickly!" said a guy.

The shopkeeper frowned: "Don't act rashly! This Li Laoer once plundered our Shanxi merchants' caravans to Liaodong many times when he was on the grassland, and once he chased the young master. Fortunately, the young master was rescued by Yue Tobele. Later, the thief colluded with the Mongol Lin Danhan and attacked the caravans of our eight masters. It seems that he knew about our relationship with the Great Jin Kingdom! This is very strange. Since he knew why Sun Chengzong, the old dog, did not touch us? They must have set a trap and waited for us to jump! At present, there is no evidence in Sun Chengzong's hands! If we act rashly, we will just give someone a handle!"

"Is this enemy who killed the master right in front of us, so we don't care?"

"It's not that you don't care, but you're careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years! When the army of the Great Jin Kingdom conquered Tongzhou, we must tear this dog thief to pieces!"
