Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

In a blink of an eye, the construction period of Bingzhen has been 4 months, and the progress is very fast. Defang came to the tower and checked the surroundings. In front of the city, there is a moat, a moat, and an outline.Defang was very satisfied after seeing it. At this time, Tong Dezheng came to the front, "My lord, the project is basically completed, and now we need to do the final inspection. My lord, please" Tong Dezheng to lead the way , the cartographer and industrial supervisor introduced the function of the city.

The industrial inspector pointed to the city wall, "Look, my lord, the distance between the corners of the city is within the effective range of the crossbow, and the soldiers can take care of each other. For example, the corners of the city can also be effectively defended, and soldiers come and go. Cross guard, easy to defend but difficult to attack"

Defang nodded, and looked to the other corner, "Well, the field of vision is wider, and it is much clearer than Fangcheng. There are fewer dead spots for defense. The city is completely within sight. Bring a bow and arrow." He drew his bow and shot at another corner of the city. An arrow hit the opposite city wall, but was blocked by the solid wall. Defang laughed and said, "The so-called civil engineering work should not be tampered with. The wall is so strong that the range of the shot is controllable. It's good to be on guard against each other."

The industrial inspector pointed to the outer city, "Your Majesty, this is the outer city. It is not connected to the inner city. There is an empty space outside the city gate to buffer the attack, so that the attackers dare not enter the city easily. Shen will be trapped here"

"Well, compared to Xuanyong City, which just changed defenses, it can be said to be better than anything else. It's very good." Defang inspected for almost a day and had a general understanding of the basic functions of the city. He said to Tong Dezheng, "General Tong, The king has issued a warrant a few days ago, and the surrounding military stations have been reorganized, and 5000 farming soldiers and 3000 imperial guards are stationed in the army, and they will arrive in the next few days, and General Lao will assist in coordination."

"Yes, I am sorry, my lord. There are still affairs to be dealt with in the city. My lord needs to take care of my health," Tong Dezheng said.

"Thank you, General Tong, the emperor's order will be fulfilled in a few days, and this king is very happy at the moment."

At this time Nangong Wen appeared and nodded to Defang.

"My lord, it's getting dark, please go to the mansion to rest," said Tong Dezheng

"Okay, please, general." Defang and Tong Dezheng saluted each other. After Defang left, Tong Dezheng continued to check the city carefully. At this time, a soldier's armor fell off in one piece. Tong Dezheng came over to check and found out that the armor was made It is very bad, it can’t bear the force, and it will fall apart if it is pulled with a little force. He immediately went to check the armor of other soldiers, and all of them were like this, because the soldiers have not been wearing them in the past few months. Tong Dezheng was greatly surprised by the fact that they are all unusable now. He asked, "Who is in charge of military supplies?"

"General, it's Zhang Mingyun, lieutenant officer of the □□ school," the adjutant replied

"Lieutenant Zhang Mingyun? Why is the lieutenant in charge of military supplies?" Tong Dezheng was puzzled. Quartermasters were usually appointed by the Ministry of War, or sent by the general himself.

The adjutant approached Tong Dezheng, "General, Zhang Mingyun is... the prefect's younger brother"

Tong Dezheng was surprised, "Master Zhang's younger brother? Who appointed him as the quartermaster?"

"Return to the general, I heard it was an order from the Ministry of War"

"Military Department? Do you know which adult is in charge of this matter?"

"Meng Yunchang Meng, Minister of the Ministry of War"

"Meng Yunchang" Tong Dezheng was very disgusted when he heard this name. This person is good at slander and flattery. Tong Dezheng also had a dispute with this person. The election was blocked by him. Fortunately, Zhao Pu recommended him for this position. Therefore, when Tong Dezheng heard that the names Zhang Mingyun and Meng Yunchang were linked together, he already felt that something was wrong. He said to the adjutant, "Put away all the armor and don't report to the prince for now. This general will go to Zhang Mingyun to inquire in person."

Tong Dezheng went straight to Zhang Mingyun's office with his adjutant, and was stopped by Zhang Mingyun's adjutant and told that Zhang Mingyun was not there. Tong Dezheng was very annoyed, "What! You were not here when you were on duty? Get out of the way!" Pushing the adjutant away, kicking Zhang Ming away In Yun's room, he saw Zhang Mingyun holding a woman in his arms, drunk, and beside him were two businessmen who looked like businessmen. Tong Dezheng stepped forward and pulled Zhang Mingyun, "What are you doing! You are drinking and having fun while on duty!"

Zhang Mingyun swayed, "Who are you! I don't want to live anymore! My brother is the magistrate!"
