On the Ning Hai, in Li Jing's cabin, Li Jing discussed matters with Lin Wei, Zhang Hong, and Wang Zhong.

Li Jing planned that the Ninghai would dock at Dengzhou Port for a day first, and Lin Wei would lead some people to purchase a batch of tents in Dengzhou.There are thousands of people coming soon, and it is still freezing cold, Li Jing has to make preparations before they come, at least get the temporary tents ready.In the long-term plan, I will definitely have to build a house to resettle, but now there is no time to build a house, so I have to buy a batch of tents to live in first.

Li Jing himself planned to go to Daxie village with Liu Shouqian and Zhang Chengzong tomorrow.Although the relationship between him and the Feng family was not good, Feng Zhang must be very dissatisfied with his unruly subordinate.However, Li Jing also had his own plans. Although he had paid for the equipment of hundreds of soldiers in Shamen Town, it can be said that Shamen Town belonged to Daxie Village. Seeing that he is unhappy again, Zhang has to give himself three melons and two dates.Anyway, as much as you can get, Li Jing will never think too little.

As for Zhang Hong and Wang Zhong, he has other arrangements. Zhang Hong is now the head of the staff, and most of the logistics and other matters are entrusted to him, and the money and food matters are also entrusted to him.There are thousands of stones of grain stored in the warehouse at Dengzhou port, so there is no need to worry about the grain, as long as some are transported to the ship tomorrow.But thousands of people will come soon, but it is impossible for thousands of people to eat without food.If you want to train soldiers out, nutrition must keep up.At least there must be no less oil and meat. On this point, Li Jing told Zhang Hong to buy more pigs. People in Tang Dynasty value sheep more than pigs, and the prices of mutton and pork are very different.But Li Jing didn't care about this, pork was cheap, but pork was fatter, and it was an excellent nutritional supplement for soldiers.

But Wang Zhong's task was to stay on the ship, and the soldiers and family members on the ship could not disembark at will without Li Jing's consent.

Early the next morning, Li Jing released a small boat from the Ning Hai, and took the four servants to Daxie Village.

Daxie Village is only a few tens of miles away from Dengzhou Port, and the sea is full of ships of all sizes along the way, which is very lively.When they passed by Dengzhou Navy's stronghold, the soldiers of the navy just glanced at them lazily and ignored them.After more than an hour, Li Jing and others arrived at Daxie Village.

Daxie Village is a frontier garrison town established by Ziqing Town on the Daxie Islands. Since Dengzhou is very close to Liaodong, it only takes one day to travel by sea. It has always been the shortest passage from Datang to Liaodong.During Xuanzong's time, Bohai State sent troops across the sea to attack Dengzhou, killed the governor of Dengzhou, and looted Dengzhou.Since then, the imperial court has established a border town on the Daxie Islands between Dengzhou and Liaodong.

There are more than [-] islands in Daxie Islands, which belong to three island groups.Daxie Village was built on Changdao, the largest island group.Long Island is further divided into North and South Long Island, connected by a long dam of more than [-] feet in the middle.The fort of Daxie Village was built on the South Island, with a circumference of [-] steps, a height of [-] Zhang [-], and the walls of the fort are covered with bricks.There are three thousand soldiers and horses under the command of Daxie Village, and one thousand soldiers and horses under the direct command of Changdao.In addition, it also governs five forts and seven garrisons, plus the newly upgraded Shamen Town.

In addition to sergeants, there are also a large number of shops and warehouses on the South Island. The population of the entire South Island is more than [-] all year round.Guarding the largest safe haven in Dengzhou, Daxie Village is also prosperous.Li Jing and the others boarded the South Island and looked at the bustling flow of people at the pier, they couldn't help but sigh.If you hadn't seen it in person, who would have believed that an island was more lively than the town of Wendeng County.

As a military fortress, Daxie Village is very tightly guarded. There are only two gates in the fort, and only soldiers and their families live in the huge castle.For all the shops, warehouses, etc., they could only build a shop two miles away from the fort.When the five of Li Jing entered the fort from the south gate, the soldiers guarding the gate were very strict.Li Jing took out his Shamen Zhenzhen and handed him his waist card. After reporting himself, the soldier showed a surprised expression on his face.Apparently, the soldiers guarding the gate also knew that the Samana garrison had been upgraded to become a Samana town, and the new town would be a guy who was a farmer half a year ago.

The defenders looked Li Jing and the others up and down more than a dozen times, as if they wanted to see if they were different from ordinary people before giving up.It wasn't until Liu Shouqian glared at them impatiently that he waved his hands resentfully to let Li Jing and others go in.

After entering the Walled City, compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the inside of the Walled Fort has completely changed. The streets are tidy, but deserted. Except for groups of sergeants, there are not many idle people on the street. .Li Jing stopped the patrolling soldiers and asked where the envoy's yamen was, and when they arrived at the gate, eight servants lined up to guard the gate, Li Jing couldn't help but secretly gasp.This Feng Zhang's ostentation is really not small, in his own stronghold, there are actually eight gatekeepers.

Zhang Chengzong came forward and presented Li Jing's name sticker, saying that Li Jing, the general of Shamen town, asked to see the military envoy, please inform him.

One of the guards, Captain Ding, looked Li Jing and the others up and down, and said with a light smile: "So you are the new town general of Shamen Town, and there are rumors everywhere that this new town general has three heads and six arms, and I think there are only two of them." One eye and one nose."

Another servant continued: "I don't have three heads and six arms, but people can hug their thighs. I heard that I somehow hugged the thighs of the previous governor and Sima, and then I got the official position of a town general. If you can also hug On the thigh of the governor, I guess the position of the town general is yours."

Seeing the appearance of these servants, Li Jing reckoned that Feng Zhang really had a very bad impression of him, otherwise, it would be impossible for several servants to dare to ridicule him like this.But even though he was unhappy, he held back his anger and stepped forward and said, "Please inform me that Li Jing is begging to see the envoy!"

The servant held the name sticker but refused to move. He just fanned the sticker lightly, and said coldly: "The soldiers and horse envoys deal with all kinds of affairs every day. How can they see you when you see them? I see, what's the matter with you?" Just tell me directly, and when I have the opportunity, I will report to the envoy Feng Bingma."

Zhang Chengzong and the others were already very angry at the attitude of the servants, and Wang Shi even said angrily: "What are you guys? What my general wants to tell the soldiers and horse envoys, but you can do what you want." As he said that, he was about to go forward and beat the servant.

As soon as Wang Shi moved, Zhang Chengzong and the others also stepped forward, the servant was startled, and he tripped over the steps while retreating in a hurry.When he got up, he felt very ashamed, and immediately became angry and called the other servants to surround him, and shouted as he rushed up: "Damn farmer, do you think this is a place for you to run wild in the country? Beat me up, Beat to death a few who have received thousands of knives."

Eight servants surrounded Li Jing and five people. Although there were many of them, their aura was not comparable to that of Li Jing and others.The five of Li Jing stood in the middle without saying a word, but the vigor of having killed people several times and seen blood made several servants only dare to yell, but none of them dared to step forward to do anything.

Li Jing also had a completely gloomy expression at this time, he didn't care about a few servants just now, but unexpectedly, these people really got on their noses, a few small servants dared to besiege him as a dignified general.Stretching out his hand to grab the few people who were going forward to beat him up, Li Jing took a step forward, stood in front of the servant and sneered twice.

"Come out of the country, don't know etiquette, don't blame those who don't know. You see, we have forgotten the etiquette. How about this, I have some money here, how about you take it to drink?"

Speaking of which, Li Jing took out a 50 taels of pig's waist silver from the money bag on his waist. When the servant saw the large piece of silver handed over from Li Jing's hand, the expression on his face changed instantly. 50 taels of silver collar, that's worth a hundred bolts of silk, according to his salary, he couldn't save it for four or five years.At this time, he had long forgotten the matter of taunting Li Jing just now, and all he thought about in his mind was that these peasants are so rich.Immediately, even his tone became more enthusiastic, and he said to Li Jing with a smile: "General Li Zhen is really bold, I will go and report it."

The servant said he was going to report, but his eyes were fixed on the silver in Li Jing's hand.

Li Jing smiled, "Thank you so much." After saying a word, his expression changed, and he slammed the hand holding the silver collar, hitting the servant hard on the head .Immediately, the servant's forehead was cut open, and blood flowed out.

This sudden ups and downs of the rabbit was beyond everyone's expectations.

"You..." Jia Ding screamed while covering his head.

"Me, what's wrong with me?" Li Jing smashed it and was still angry, then stretched out his foot and kicked hard, kicking the servant directly over.A small servant dared to treat him like this. If Li Jing didn't show some temper, how would he gain a foothold in Daxie Village in the future? It is said that beating a dog depends on the owner, and Li Jing deliberately wanted to beat this dog today. , let Feng Zhang know that Li Jing is not a vegetarian.Anyway, the grievances with Feng Zhang were settled, Li Jing simply stopped doing it, and didn't plan to talk about making peace with Feng Zhang again.

"Hurry up and report, if you dare to delay, be careful to break all your dog legs!" Li Jing snorted coldly.

At this moment, a general in silk armor came out from the yamen, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he hurriedly said, "What's going on? Why are you fighting in front of the yamen? Is there any military order? "

When the servants saw the general, they breathed a sigh of relief, glared at Li Jing fiercely, and rushed to the general to complain.After the general heard it, his expression changed, and he slapped the servant who was still bleeding from the head with a slap, "Nonsense, how can this general Li Zhen be negligent, you bastards!" It's not wrong to be beaten to death." As he spoke, his face changed into a friendly expression, and he walked up to Li Jing and said, "Hey, it's all because of poor discipline. All of my personal soldiers will seal their heads against Lin, and I have admired General Li Zhen's reputation for a long time, and I just met today, I really have admired him for a long time."
