It turned out that the matter was too incredible, and many people suspected that this person was lying.

"Do you think I'm exaggerating?" Sima Zheng looked around and couldn't help laughing. "I didn't coax you, I'm now a great master... but this is not entirely a good thing."

Only then did everyone believe it, and then they were both happy and worried... Obviously, they misunderstood again, thinking that the other party used some fundamental method to forcibly improve their realm.

But it doesn't matter.

The war is about to begin, just pick up weapons and resist fate.

The moon is falling, the sun rises, and a new day is coming. Yecheng still knows nothing about the specific information of the war, but this does not delay the entire city from falling into a strange state - everyone is busy and preparing for the upcoming war, but the real final mobilization has not yet begun.

It was like a pot of water that kept receiving heat. It had not boiled yet, but it had already started to roll.

And the place where the heat is constantly dissipating is Tunfengtai.

Let’s talk about the Tunfengtai next to the Zhang River, and it was still west of the palace. It was previously a military palace group built by the Hebei regime. In the Eastern Qi era, there were three of them, and they were called Linzhang three. They were only specially abandoned during the Great Wei period. After the gang took over, they began to repair it. However, at present, there is only one high platform in the middle that has been restored and has a complete building system. In addition, the gang had just deposed the Tunfengjun before, so it was renamed Tunfengtai.

There was a rammed earth base on the site of the Tunfengtai that was more than ten feet high. With the efforts of the White Rider, it has been further increased and expanded. Now it is a huge platform of fifteen feet high, about one hundred and fifty steps from north to south, and more than one hundred steps from east to west, almost equivalent to a small city.

The core building above the platform is a rectangular hall that can accommodate hundreds of people, with huddles on both sides, and on both sides there is a circular lobby where dozens of people can be held. In addition, there are two rows of public rooms in the corridor along the platform, which belong to the Documentary Department and the Military Affairs Department respectively.

These are just buildings on the platform, and the logistics facilities under the platform are even more dense.

At noon on September 17th, something bizarre happened, and the three downhill entrances and exits of the Tunfengtai were blocked!

"They are right. The next platform needs to store documents specifically." Wei Xuanding was sweating profusely. He saw Zhang Xing, who was burying his head to sign the documents from afar. "Otherwise, how could he load such paper? The chief knows that just now, General Manager Cao told me that there is not enough paper and he needs to go to the market to buy it temporarily! There are so many places in Hebei to make paper, and our gang has many paper workshops, but now it is short of paper, which is simply a big deal!"

Zhang Xing didn't raise his head and said slowly: "Once the war starts, I'm going to go to the battle, I'm afraid this kind of rammed earth platform cannot get up? And if I take the Dongdu, it's hard to say whether I need to continue to repair the remaining two units here... As for paper, it's a good thing to talk about, it means that the big platform has more detailed control over the place. What's so funny about it?"

Wei Xuanding did not continue these nonsense topics, walked up to him and handed over a stack of papers: "Mr. Zhang and his team have formulated the ranking of Jinshi this year. There are many people this year, so they only choose one of three...Mr. Chen and others will look at it one by one, please give me the final order."

Zhang Xing took it, looked it up, and asked seriously: "Whoever has changed his ranking?"

"There is no major change this time, mainly two people... Li Yishi and Liu Renzhe, both of them are very outstanding. General Manager Chen took a fancy to the identity of a child of a Hebei official institution. He wanted to call him as a confidential document. General Manager Xu took a fancy to Liu Renzhe's origin in Yingchuan and wanted to call him as his confidentiality to join the army." Wei Xuanding said seriously.

"Then let's go to each other and don't delay each other?"

"Yes, but the chief has to choose the first place..." Wei Xuanding urged.

Zhang Xing was speechless. He thought about it and went to look at the list. He found that the third place was a Cui, so he came to ask: "Which family is Cui Dunyi from, Qinghe or Boling?"

"Boling." Wei Xuanding answered immediately. "His father and I studied and practiced under the prince and the prince... This time his father still didn't come, but he came. His articles were stable and his personality was the same, just like his father when he was young."

"Then let's do this." Zhang Xing directly drew a circle on the third place. "We can't discriminate against others just because they are children of aristocratic families. Let's help You Rong Naida."

Wei Xuanding was speechless, but he had to nod, and then hurriedly left after the other party looked at the list and handed it back.

Zhang Xing also continued to plunge into the previous pile of documents.

There is no way, this is inevitable before the war comes. If the battle starts, there will be no more documents, but isn't this not the battle start? Therefore, Zhang Xing must review the various plans of Wang Yi's army, communicate directly with hundreds of leaders, or appease or encourage the other party, let alone logistics issues such as food, military uniforms, and livestock.

On the second day, the entire Yecheng heated up further because the army began to gather.

Zhang Xing and others also became more busy. They all went to the army to inspect, including the new batch of Jinshi, and almost all of them were assigned to the army and held a simple and crude position - the clerical adjutant of each battalion.

This matter is controversial, because some people have proposed that the suspicion of these new Jinshi spies cannot be ruled out, but Zhang Xing finally decided to delegate these Jinshi... Because a spy needs to first get into the Jinshi of the Gang in a three-choice ratio, and then use the possible bright future of the Gang, but in the end, he will get a major trend of a battalion. I don’t know if he can contact him... This is a loss!

Xu Shiying and others also agreed that if there are spies, they will also depend on the trend of the war. Needless to say, the war is a big victory or defeat, even if it is a stalemate, the spy will also lurk to the end, depending on whether he can continue to get into the house. But if he really gets into the house, who will be a spy?

However, even though that was the case, there was no definite news until September 20, and the whistle cavalry kept rewarding. For several days, Dongdu was evacuating Hanoi officials and civilians and repairing the three cities of Heyang. This almost explicit and in line with the expected direction of dispatch was even more upsetting.

However, that's all. During these days and nights, countless whistle riders rushed from Hanoi and Jijun. Soon there were whistle riders in Wu'an Xingtai. The news was very accurate, and Bai Hengqiu moved!

On the evening of this day, Emperor Ying personally led a large army out of Wangwu Mountain, passed Zhuang Pass, and entered Hanoi, and would attack Heyang City tomorrow.

The number of troops is unknown at present, but it is claimed to be 200,000. The escort cavalry, who were prepared for a long time, encountered the escort cavalry of Daying and the Hanoi refugees who were unwilling to evacuate at this time.

After receiving the news, the top leaders of the help were originally going to the Tengfeng Tengtai, but were stopped by the men led by Qin Bao under the Tengfeng Tengtai. They asked several leaders to turn to Zhang Xing's residence Guanfeng Temple immediately. As for the rest, they would go back to rest and not spread military information.

Everyone naturally realized that Bai Hengqiu could not rely on the middle of the night to reach Yecheng, and the front-line troops had already entered a state of war readiness. At this time, the mess would only cause people's hearts to be in chaos, so they all acted according to their words.

It was said that it was the dragon leader, only Xiong Bonan, Wei Xuanding, Chen Bin, Xu Shiying, Chai Xiao and five others. They rushed to Guanfengyuan in turn and went to the small building of Guanfeng. Sure enough, they saw Zhang Xing in casual clothes in the pavilion above. At this time, the other five people were all in military uniforms, and everyone except Xiong Bonan was wearing swords.

The trend of sword wearing was formed after Zhang Xing gave the sword.

Seeing that all the five people were sitting down, Zhang Xingxian informed him of an expected thing: "I have ordered the blockade of the outer city, inner city, palace city, and Linzhang three platforms. Everyone is waiting for dawn to not make any noise and cause chaos in the city. Only the six of us will make a decision first."

Everyone nodded, and Wei Xuanding agreed even more: "It is true that Yecheng has a large population and especially many merchants. The outer walls are short and short, but there are not enough cover. Once they become panic, someone will flee, they may make a big joke."

Zhang Xing nodded and then said again: "I have a few wartime arrangements here. Do you have anything to say? Tell me quickly, don't hesitate."

The five people looked at each other, and Xu Shiying first asked with her knees, "When the plan is to set off from the military parade of the Dongcheng University Camp tomorrow?"

"Yes." Zhang Xing nodded immediately.

"Terty battalions are first?" Xu Shiying continued to ask. "Ten battalions are sent in Yecheng before noon that day?"

"right."

"Is it enough?" Chen Bin suddenly interrupted. "Bai Hengqiu claims to be 200,000..."

"Daying must have 200,000 troops, but this place in Hanoi came from the gate of the gate. If Heyang City is not broken, he can send up at most 100,000, or even 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers." The person who explained seriously was Chai Xiaohe. "In fact, our thirty battalions are not without follow-ups. Including the support of the twenty battalions in Henan and the forty reserve battalions in the north and south, the troops are enough..."

"Yes, if you really fight, the front line will be able to expand by 50,000 or 60,000 people." Zhang Xing also added. "The strategy I set before was carefully considered. It is said that 200,000 will not change the overall situation."

Chen Bin nodded then, but was still a little uneasy.

"It's not that General Manager Chen, General Manager Chen has been immersed in the army for a long time. How can he not know about military affairs?" Wei Xuanding said solemnly. "But Yecheng is here... I always feel uneasy if I don't put the troops in front of Yecheng."

"Then I'll just say it." Zhang Xing responded without hesitation. "First of all, this military arrangement will not affect Yecheng. Moreover, from a strategic perspective, Bai Hengqiu still wants to take Dongdu, and it is unlikely that he will cross Dongdu to seize Yecheng. When we really reach that point, we will try our best to protect Yecheng. However, Yecheng is just a city after all, and this kind of war is against people, so if there is anything wrong with it, Yecheng is not important. We can build Yecheng like this in two or three years, and we can naturally build it again!"

Wei Xuanding pursed his lips and wanted to speak but stopped.

"Yecheng must be as safe as possible." Xiong Bonan finally spoke out when he saw this. "Because Yecheng is our capital, it is impossible to abandon it easily. The chief is just talking about extreme... Duke Wei, when it is necessary, I will naturally build a tower with the Swallowing Fengtai."

"The King of Heaven should try to use it on the front line." Wei Xuanding waved his hands repeatedly like a weak qi. "I understand the truth, but I can't tell the difference."

Everyone was silent.

Zhang Xing waited for a while, looked up at the half-circular bimonth, and then looked at the people in front of him: "So, actually, there are no words for those who have nothing to say?"

The few people were still silent. After all, there were so many preparations and plans before, it would be strange if they had any ideas on the spot.

"Actually, I never thought about abandoning Yecheng. As the Heavenly King said, the words were at the extreme." Zhang Xing smiled when he saw this. "Otherwise, I wouldn't ask you to make the following arrangements... Everyone, I have a few things to do when I take advantage of the war, and I have to endure it until now."

Several people cheered up again.

"The first thing is to mint coins." Zhang Xing took out a copper coin from his arms and threw it on one table. "For a long time, we have used the money from the Great Wei. After all, the Great Wei has kept so many reserves, and it doesn't make sense to... But now, the territory of our gang has been stable and the minerals have been bought. It should have been a way to mint coins from our own home, which is not only a profit, but also a means to make the Ming and gangs deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. However, if the money from the Great Wei is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it would be a disaster."

Everyone suddenly realized that Chen Bin, Wei Xuanding, and Chai Xiaohe couldn't help but pat their thighs after Zhang Xing said the first sentence - this matter should have been implemented long ago, but the war was delayed by Zhang Xing's Xiuhehe for the past six months.

Of course everyone has no objection.

Seeing this, Zhang Xing nodded and reiterated his attitude: "You should take it slowly and use military service to use new money, from the rear to the front, from the military to the civilian use, prepare enough old money and military supplies, and don't have to rush."

Having said that, Chen Weichai and the other two just nodded quickly.

"The second thing is to set up a censorate." Zhang Xing continued to speak, but the five people present were stunned.

Zhang Xing sighed quietly: "Our gang looks smooth sailing. In fact, it is because of the constant battles before, expanding and supporting each other to stand up. But we can't always count on this in the future. We must have rules and means... You also know my old habits, and like to take advantage of the situation and save energy... So when you think about fighting now, you will fight the banner of serious military discipline and gang rules. The Ministry of Assistance, Military Affairs, and Criminal Law work together to separate the supervision regulations and matters, and then unified the Censorate after the war."

Chen Bin hesitated for a moment: "What about Jing'antai?"

"In the future, the world will be peaceful. Jing'antai will be responsible for suppressing civil strife and monitoring the unstable aspects of gang practitioners, aristocratic clans, and gangs. At this time, it is also responsible for military spies; and the Censorate will supervise the illegal and unethical people in the country... In essence, the Criminal Law Department is fundamental, but in some places they cannot manage, so they set up these two places." Zhang Xing said seriously. "Of course, if there are really gangs who are connected to a gang, if you want to rebel, you must go together, and the three families will go together. It depends on the scale and let the leader judge."

"Then do it!" After pausing for a while, Xiong Bonan said in a muffled voice. "To be honest, the chief and us can do whatever they want when they are alive, but they always have to think about what we are gone and what they have to go down... Not only the chief, but Dou Longtou had said this kind of thing before when he came back. Many brothers mentioned it, and some people were thinking about it even if they didn't say anything... According to the chief, even if they don't expect it to be forever, they have to do it."

"Then do it!" Chen Bin suddenly stood up and stamped his feet. "So what about us if the chief is willing to do it? But the chief must agree to us that the agreed date will come in three years, and you must be the lord of the country seriously!"

"This is natural." Zhang Xing stood up and responded. "Never break his promise."

Xiong Bonan and others also stood up, and finally Wei Xuanding slowly stood up under the gaze of everyone, but sneered: "I want to make a condition when the Chief and General Manager Chen say this."

"You said." Everyone was inevitably surprised. However, Zhang Xing knew the other party's temper and laughed.

"After the expansion of Yecheng, the banned prostitutes gradually became more common, and most of them were under the banner of dancers, female musicians, and even cooks and female crowns. I want to use military laws to purify Yecheng!" Wei Xuanding said proudly.

Everyone felt relieved and even felt a little funny.

But Zhang Xing was as always: "You can purify Handan and Li Yang together!"

"Okay!" Wei Xuanding nodded. "Then I have nothing to say, let's start a war!"

Zhang Xing nodded, waved his hand again, signaling the few people to leave, and they really left to rest.

The next day, because the patrol and information were controlled, the upper and lower cities of Yecheng had no reaction at first, but soon, in the morning, soldiers began to clean the streets and helped countless middle and high-level officials from the big street to flock to the east gate. The notices were also covered with bulletin boards everywhere. Even the ignorant people knew that when Da Ying invaded Hanoi, the Ming Dynasty would proactively declare war in order to unify the world.

That's right, the notice did not say anything to help and protect Dongdu, but instead told everyone directly that the world was in conflict, and the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight for the world by itself, but also to prevent Daying from winning the world.

In the morning, the ten battalions that were about to set out were already gathered outside the campus, namely Wang Shuyong, Liu Heibao, Wang Xiongdan, Kan Ling, Xiahou Ningyuan, Ding Shengying, Liang Jiading, Cao Chen, Han Erlang, and Jia Runshi's ten battalions.

Countless scholars and citizens in Yecheng had already left the city to watch, and only gathered on the east side of the Grand Collegiate Field and the north and south official roads. According to the notice, the army would go directly to the front line after the military parade.

"I'm going to go out soon. Should the chief say a few words?" Chen Bin asked on the stage.

"Then let's say a few words!" Zhang Xing, wearing a black armor and red cloak, rode on the yellow puppet horse with a scimitar in his waist, and immediately agreed. The next sentence shook the sky with his true energy. "Brothers, I am Zhang Xing, the chief of the gang! Now I have a few words to say to you!"

The sound wrapped in true energy quickly rang throughout the entire campus, but the noise below did not stop directly.

"I have never doubted whether everyone is good at fighting, nor have I ever doubted whether everyone dares to fight! But at the end of the battle, I have to figure out one thing, that is, why are we fighting?" Zhang Xing ignored the reaction below, but continued like a chat.

"Brothers, we posted the notices to the military camp early in the morning. If you didn't read them, someone would definitely say that they would give you some advice. It was written clearly that you wanted to fight for the world, but why should you fight for the world? You can't guard Hebei, the north, the east, and Huaibei to spend your peaceful life? Didn't you have been having a good time in the past six months?

"The reason is very simple. If we don't compete for the world, the world will have to earn it for others, such as Daying! Then we still have to ask, what if Daying wins the world? At that time, you leaders and leaders cannot become officials, can't we still go home to farm? Isn't it still equalizing the land?
To be continued...
