In three months, Zhao Bing certainly did more than just this little thing.? Nowadays, all coastal defense projects are coming to an end, but although they are only ten miles away, he, the initiator, has not been able to see it with his own eyes. He can only see it from the drawings and official documents. It is a pity.
The coastal defense project starts from Qixingling in Wenchang in the east and ends at the Bieye Mountain in the west. The coastal defense stretches for more than a hundred miles. Focusing on Haikoupu, Chengmai and Linggao, cities and water camps were built respectively, and villages were set up in the easy-to-climb 6. The three commanding heights of Qixingling, Chengmai Mountain and Biye Mountain were used to overlook the Leizhou Peninsula on sunny days, and watch out forts were set up on it to monitor the entire strait. Once an enemy fleet invades, it would ignite the beacon to warn, and buy time for defense.
Haikoupu guards the estuary of the Nandu River, which is the top priority of Qiongzhou's defense. Not only is there acropolis built, but there are also heavy troops stationed. A sand dike about a meter high can be built on the front coastline of the acropolis to hide troops, which can block the attack of the 6 enemy troops. In the shallow sea, wooden stakes are arranged to prevent the fleet from docking and transporting the 6 troops, forming three defense lines with a depth of five miles. There are main naval forces in the port, with more than 300 warships of various types. At the same time, there are several four- or five-meter-high hills near the waterway to build a turret and heavy projectiles are arranged to destroy the shore enemy ships, and each can form support points to restrain the attack on the enemy troops in the acropolis.
While participating in the construction of the city, the army completed basic training such as strict military discipline, clear orders, and ranks. Grassroots officers also completed the training of the army as a rotation, and then the entire army was transferred to combat skills training. At the same time, at the suggestion of Zhao Bing, a cavalry of 1,500 people was formed using the horses seized and purchased in Guangzhou, which was directly under the jurisdiction of the Chief Commander Office, as a strategic mobile force, so as to mobilize troops quickly and reinforce various departments. The prefectures and counties also used the method of two-man draws one to form a village soldier of 20,000 people. They plow the fields on weekdays and serve as soldiers during wartime to supplement the loss and be responsible for transporting baggage.
In the midst of a murderous aura, Deng Guangjian also completed the purgation of officials in Qiongzhou. Now all prefectures and counties have fully equipped the chief officials and clerks in each case. Although they have not yet reached the level of being free and as if they are armed, they have finally managed everything and the government orders are understood and implemented. The grassroots organizations in the village have also been rebuilt, and the Baojia system has been strengthened, so that the General Administration can control the entire island. Now, with the cooperation of the General Administration troops who have completed the training, the General Administration has begun to launch a crackdown on bandits and village gangsters, strengthen social security, and stabilize the people's hearts.
Under the covetous eyes of tens of thousands of troops, the Lidongs living on the island did not dare to act rashly, so that the strategy of "deterrence as the main and recruitment as the auxiliary" formulated by Zhao Bing was implemented. The mature Li, who had long been dependent on the court, followed the orders and cooperated with the commanders to work with the general's office to clear the post roads through the Li District, sent soldiers to protect the passing business and brigades, cooperated with the officers and soldiers to attack, and monitor Sheng Li who was dissatisfied with Wang Hua. Zhao Bing did not treat them unfairly. In addition to providing them with food and grass, he also gave them some weapons and armor, so that both sides could live in peace temporarily.
In any case, a simple post road around the island has been built. Although there are only one large cart in the width of some places, it has enabled the six routes of each prefecture and county to be connected, and the transportation of materials and personnel is not only dependent on water. With the completion of the construction of the post station, the degree of message transmission and mobilization of troops will be further improved, so that the idea of ​​integrated defense across the island can be realized, and the combat readiness situation will be greatly improved. Of course, the most important thing is that this is a chain that binds Lidong. If they fail to completely conquer them, it is also a helpless choice to prevent civil strife...
In the midst of the turmoil, several major events that Zhao Bing took over were also achieved. The Leizhou incident that worried him the most finally came to an end. It was said that the process was based on his own ideas, but the ending was separated from the script and did not achieve what he wanted.
After Zhao Bing's resignation memorial was delivered to the court, it still caused a stir. At first, the ministers and even the Empress Dowager believed that King Wei's statement was true. After all, he was still young and it was very difficult to control such a big situation. More people believed that King Wei realized that the conditions were difficult after he arrived in Qiongzhou, and wanted to take the opportunity to escape so that he could leave the barbaric land and return to the court. However, the prince who had left the place as a prince was not allowed to do it hastily. So the Empress Dowager summoned the ministers several times, but it was difficult to decide because of different opinions.
His Highness's recommendation to Zeng Yuanzi as the commander of the ministers was unanimously opposed. The group of people, including Jiang Wanzai and Liu Fu, believed that they had escaped at the most difficult time of the country, which showed that he was lacking in virtue and could not be entrusted with important tasks. The group of people, including Chen Yizhong, also disagreed because they knew that defending the Qiongzhou Strait could protect the last escape route. Since they knew that everyone was a good person, how could they dare to hand over their lives to their hands.
However, it is not unstoppable that Zeng Yuanzi will take charge of Guangnan West Road affairs. After all, he was an important official in the court. His Highness is much stronger than in any aspect. It is also a good idea to assist His Highness in defending Qiongzhou. However, their position is low and their words are not supported by several important officials, so they can only talk about it. Therefore, when Zeng Yuanzi planned to seize power, he lost at the starting line, but Zhao Bing won in this game because of understanding people's hearts.
Then Jiang Wanzai was sent by Ying Jieyan, and learned that this was caused by Jiang Yu. In order to repay the Zeng family, he violated the military law and led his army to escape without authorization. He helped Zeng Yuanzi capture the land of the three states, but put himself to death. Zeng Yuanzi wanted Jiang Yu to gain power from Guangxi South Road and control the General's Mansion. For this reason, he did not hesitate to intercept the messenger of the General's Mansion to cut off Jiang Yu's retreat, causing his highness to have a rift with him and become his own front pawn. After learning the whole story, his highness had to resign and give way to fulfill his promise to him.
Jiang Wanzai knew that His Highness was "tricky", and was puzzled by the nephew he brought out, and began to suspect that this was His Highness's plan to escape from his shell and left Qiongzhou. At this time, Zeng Yuanzi's complaint also arrived, and he turned against him and called Jiang Qi the army for the sake of his merits and no orders to send troops to Leizhou. He also used the merits of the three prefectures to blackmail the place, and made a lot of money, forcing the recruitment of Teng Zhuang to strengthen his strength, trying to leave the general's mansion. He could not stand Jiang Qi's "reverse actions" and wrote a letter to the court to impeach.
