Frontier Army Warrior

Chapter 131 This kid knows everything

Bai Jing helped Lin Feng put on his clothes, tidied himself up, and then opened the door.

Xie Zhong stood there anxiously, waiting for Lin Feng's decision.

"Have you investigated thoroughly? Did Zhuang Zaihu escape from the liquor store, or did he escape when he was dragged out of the city and buried?"

Xie Zhong thought for a moment and said, "According to the report from the squad leader who handled the bodies, there were approximately 21 bodies at the scene. They didn't count them again after they were pulled outside the city."

"About?"

"Yes, General. There were so many bodies that it was hard to count them all."

Bai Jing pouted and muttered beside her.

"I vented my anger thoroughly, but these guys suffered greatly."

Lin Feng ignored her and said to Xie Zhong, "Tell Li Donglai to send out cavalry to spread out and search. If he escaped from outside the city, he won't be able to get far without a horse."

Xie Zhong agreed and turned to leave.

"Remember, this person is an expert. Tell them to be careful."

Bai Jing reminded him from behind.

"Yes, General, you guys go ahead and get busy."

"Fuck, this brat knows everything!"

Lin Feng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

Bai Jing buried her head in Lin Feng's arms with a flushed face.

The next morning, the rangers returned to the city after searching for half the night.

Li Donglai came to report that there was no trace of Zhuang Zaihu.

Lin Feng waved his hand: "Forget it, even if he didn't run away, King Fu would know about the situation here."

"It won't be a problem, right?"

Li Donglai asked worriedly.

"There will definitely be problems, but my position must be clear. Otherwise, if I try to please everyone, I'll end up in trouble."

Li Donglai nodded in agreement.

"From the current perspective, Prince Fu is plotting a rebellion. We cannot wade into this muddy water."

While they were talking, Xie Chong came in to report.

"General, General Wei is here."

Before Lin Feng could stand up, Wei Zhen had already strode in.

This time, Wei Zhen had a smile on his face and his attitude changed greatly.

He had already found out that Lin Feng, with only 300 men, had dispersed Yang Sanjin's 2,000 soldiers and even shot and killed their commander.

These are not three hundred border troops, but three hundred fierce and fierce Tartars.

Apart from the Tartars, who else could have achieved such a brilliant military achievement?

"Haha, good morning, General Lin. I wonder how my people are doing?"

Wei Zhen's two thousand troops were surrounded and dispersed by the Tartars.

He did not sleep all night, and was still worried about his own troops.

Lin Feng looked at Li Donglai.

"Oh, so far, we have found and brought back more than 300 people, and there are still rangers outside continuing to search."

Li Donglai answered quickly.

Wei Zhen sat on the chair with his butt slumped, grinning.

"Fuck, only 300 left?"

Bai Jing was well aware that all soldiers spoke rudely.

Therefore, she is immune to the curses and insults from these grown men.

Lin Feng consoled him, "General Wei, being able to escape with only 300 men from the siege of 1,000 Tartars is already quite impressive."

"Why don't you tell me that with only 300 cavalrymen, you killed 2,000 of Yang San's men?"

"Haha, it was just a fluke."

"Come on, there's no such thing as luck on the battlefield. It's all about strength."

Wei Zhen sighed and shook his head.

"I never thought I'd be left so far behind by a little brat like you after fighting for half my life. How pathetic!"

He was a General of Cavalry, a second-rank official, much higher than Lin Feng.

So, I speak very casually in front of these young people.

Lin Feng quickly changed the subject.

"I wonder what General Wei's next plan is?"

Wei Zhen frowned and pondered for a long time.

"Lin Feng, I'm feeling really frustrated in the camp. Can I learn how to fight from you?"

Lin Feng quickly shook his head. "What a joke! A cavalry general learning how to fight from a centurion? Who has the final say between us?"

"You, you have the final say. I'll just watch from the sidelines. I promise not to say a word."

"How are you going to explain this to General Cui?"

"Just say I'm dead!"

Wei Zhen said unhappily.

Bai Jing quickly comforted him and gently woke him up.

"General Wei, do you think the general is unaware of what's happening here?"

Wei Zhen scratched his head and glanced at Bai Jing.

"That's right, Lin Feng, your Qingshui City is full of people coming and going, and it's a mixed bag. Why don't you do anything about it?"

"We're short of people here. We want to vigorously develop the economy, so we can't do without increasing the population, but we can't also block the flow of people."

Wei Zhen looked at Lin Feng in confusion.

"Vigorously develop the economy? We're still at war. If the Tartars march on us, what's the point of ruining our economy?"

Lin Feng said sternly, "General Wei, look, we have the border city troops holding us back in the northwest, and the border army camp in the southeast. The Tartars can't send a large force here. We can only have one or two thousand cavalry at most. We can't fight them, but we can defend the city."

Wei Zhen didn't say anything, but started thinking about it.

Lin Feng continued, "As you can see, the farmland has harvested a lot of grain this year, and every farmer has surplus food. As the people become more prosperous, our army's combat effectiveness and equipment will naturally improve. When we have enough manpower in the future, we should have no problem launching a defensive counterattack."

Wei Zhen nodded slightly, smacked his lips, and made a clicking sound.

"Well, what a great boy! What's with your brain? Such vision, such courage, such means..."

As he spoke, he slapped his thigh.

"I've decided. I'll learn from you. I'll tell the general I'm seriously injured and can't move. I'll be recuperating in Qingshui."

Lin Feng smiled and said, "It's up to you. You're the highest-ranking General here."

"No, you are the tallest. As long as it is what you say, I have no objection."

"But I always feel awkward having a cavalry general sitting next to me."

"Hey, why don't you just stop being so awkward? How about we exchange our badges first?"

"I don't dare to do that. Just let me be uncomfortable."

Everyone in the room burst into laughter.

With the addition of Wei Zhen's 300 personal soldiers, the number of soldiers in Qingshui City has exceeded 1,000.

It is obviously no longer suitable to be stationed in the urban area.

As Qingshui City's reputation for prosperity spread, more and more people came to Qingshui, and there were not enough houses to live in.

Rents are getting higher and higher, and the army has to give up more houses.

Lin Feng recruited nearly 500 engineers and has been working hard to build the camp in recent days.

The camp was located on a slightly higher slope forty miles away from the city.

Its original site was a dilapidated and deserted village.

From here, more than a hundred miles northwest is Lingdouzi Castle, and the three sides form a stable obtuse triangle.

Since then, Lingdouzi Castle, Lingdouzi Beacon Camp, and the Qingshui City Outer Camp have been added to Qingshui City.

The four military garrisons have clamped down on the entire area.

Lin Feng brought Wei Zhen and his three hundred personal soldiers, as well as more than three hundred engineers, back to Lingdouzi Castle.

This is his most basic base. From the beginning of construction to its formation, it was built according to Lin Feng’s ideas.

Not only is it easy to defend but difficult to attack, even if you break into the castle, it is full of traps, making it impossible to defend yourself.

Lin Feng's 1,000 troops plus 800 engineers implemented a rotation training and garrison system.

In your spare time, you can cultivate and tend your own farmland.

Soldiers who did not have land could rent other people's land and receive a 50% discount on the rent.

Skilled craftsmen no longer served the army for free.

Lin Feng stipulated that all products produced by handicraftsmen must be priced according to quality.

New residents of the houses in the castle can live there free of charge for one year.

Starting from the second year, a certain rent will be charged.

Lin Feng also asked Bai Jing to set up a private school where children of school age could attend for free.

He felt that too few people today knew how to read and write, which affected the development of politics, economy and military.

In less than three months, Lingdouzi Castle became as big as a small county town, and was even more exquisite and advanced than a county town.

Outside the castle are stretches of farmland and crisscrossing roads.

On weekdays, the castle gates are open and three drawbridges have been built.

To provide convenience for people to enter and exit.

Seeing Lin Feng working on the economy with great enthusiasm all day long, Wei Zhen was so anxious that he scratched his head.

He came here to learn how to fight and had no interest in the economy or people's livelihood.

"Lin Feng, when are we going to fight the Tartars? They've already taken away most of our valuables."

At this time, Lin Feng was checking the mining situation in a coal mining area behind the castle.

Hearing Wei Zhen's question, he frowned and fell into deep thought.
