Daling River is located in the western part of Liaoning Province and is the largest river in the western part of Liaoning Province. It was called Bailangshui in the Han and Tang Dynasties, Liao was called Linghe, and Jin changed to Linghe. There are two sources: the north source comes from Dalugou in Lingyuan County, the south source comes from Heishan in Jianchang County, and meets near Dachengzi. It flows northeast through Nuruerhu Mountain and Songling Long Valley, accepting tributaries such as the Tiger Mountain River, the Bingzhong River, and the Xihe River. The Daling River City, which is to be built now, is located north of Daling River. The reason why the Ming Dynasty wanted to be built is

The construction of Daling River City was also to build a foothold in Daling Hebei. With this foothold, the soldiers could be sent continuously to western Liaoning. The decisive battle with the Later Jin Dynasty, Huang Taiji of the Later Jin also understood this truth, so every time the Ming Dynasty wanted to build the Daling River, he sent a large army to attack without hesitation. The reason why the Ming Dynasty dared to build the Daling River again this time was because the Later Jin army had a minor setback last time, so it came.

When Li Xin and others arrived at Daling River, they found that Daling River had become a huge construction site. Daling River City was said to be a city, but in fact it was just a huge fortress. It plays a military role and is smaller than other cities.

"Young Master, Dalinghe City is ahead." Jiang Yi's face was gloomy. Looking at the huge construction site in the distance, he could hear bursts of screams from time to time. This was not something that came from labor, but the supervisors were whipping the working people, some were prisoners, some were laborers, etc.

"Is this Dalinghe City? It's simply a dead place." Li Xin sighed softly and said.

"Is Mr. Li in front?" At this time, a team of cavalry roared over. The leader's little flag looked arrogant and glanced at the cavalry around Li Xin, with a look of disdain on his lips. It seemed that he didn't look down on this team of cavalry at all. This is the truth. Li Xin's cavalry looked quite good, but compared with the Guanning Iron Cavalry, which is known as the elite of the Ming Dynasty, it is still much worse. This little flag is a member of the Guanning Iron Cavalry. Apart from the cavalry of the Later Jin Dynasty, he really didn't see any army! Although he called Li Xin the young master, the contempt in his eyes was actually clearly visible.

Stopped Yang Xiong and others' anger, Li Xin sat on the horse and said lightly: "I am Li Xin, what are you asking for me?" Li Xin didn't take the discrimination from the other party in his heart. It was great that his cavalry had only been formed in such a military force. Cavalry is not simply trained. Infantry as long as they hold spears and abide by military discipline, they can quickly become army, but cavalry usually takes two years.

"The Grand Marshal is welcome." The little flag pointed at Li Xin and said, "Young Master Li, please! Don't let the Grand Marshal wait for too long." As he said that, he ignored Li Xin and turned around on his war horse and returned, a ray of smoke and dust rushed towards him.

"It's so presumptuous." Yang Xiong's forehead was about to go forward and fight.

"Young Master, will there be a fraud?" Jiang Yi asked for hesitation for a moment.

"Young Master, I'll accompany you in." Gao Meng also showed an anxious look on his face.

"No, Zu Dashou will not kill me, it's not now." Li Xin pondered for a moment and stopped and said, "After all, there is not only Qiu Hejia, but also Sun Chengzong behind me. Zu Dashou did not care about Qiu Hejia's face, but he would definitely do what Sun Chengzong said. He would not let me die, but there must be conspiracy, okay! I'll go and see what tricks they can do. Jiang Yi, you are leading the army here, and you must not act rashly. It's not easy to fall into the truth."

"Yes." Jiang Yi nodded and said, "Then you are careful. If there is something wrong, the young master just fight inside and the subordinates and others are waiting outside."

"Okay, that's great." Li Xin patted the sword on his waist. He clamped the war horse with his legs and ran towards Dalinghe City opposite. The sword on his waist was not an ordinary sword, it was a sword that had been driven by the sharp edge. It was extremely sharp.

Although Dalinghe City was only rebuilt in the past few days, the project progress was much smaller because it was rebuilt on the original basis. This is probably one of the important reasons why the Ming Dynasty thought that they could build Dalinghe City before the Donglu reacted. Tens of thousands of people started construction together, and Dalinghe City was completed in just two days. When Li Xin entered Dalinghe City, he found that he only felt that these buildings had been destroyed from the darkness on the walls.

Zu Dashou's general's mansion is in the middle of Dalinghe City. The surrounding streets are connected with two big trees in front of the door, and a pair of huge lions are placed in front of the door, which is extremely majestic. More than 10,000 Guanning Iron Cavalry are stationed in the school grounds, and you can hear waves of shouts of killing from time to time. The general's mansion is very vigilant. Even if Li Xin enters it, he takes down his sword.

"Li Xin has met General Zu." The hall was big, and a thin middle-aged man sat behind the handsome desk. His eyes were like lightning, and he sat upright there, like a tiger. He was shivering when he was staring at him.

"Bold, Li Xin, is just a criminal. When he sees the general, why don't he kneel?" A cold shout came from the side. However, Zu Zerun's face turned red, and his eyes showed excitement. He looked at Li Xin coldly and said.

"Although I am a prisoner, I have not been expelled from fame and fortune. I knelt on heaven, earth, king, and teacher. I don't know who can make me Li Xin kneel down." Li Xin said with a calm and tilted head.

"Even if you are a scholar, remember, this is Li Dalinghe City, how could one of your scholars be so rampant?" Zu Zerun trembled all over in anger.

"Okay, since you are a scholar, then forget it." Zu Dashou, who was sitting in the upper hand, waved his hand, stopped Zu Zerun, nodded to Li Xin, and said, "You are a scholar, and the Chief Supervisor specially protected you. Therefore, although you are a prisoner, this general will not let you lose your identity and work with those untouchables, so let you do a decent thing."

"Please give me the orders." Li Xin's heart skipped a beat. Zu Dashou in front of him might be even harder to deal with than Zu Zerun.

"Your uncle thinks that we are building Dalinghe City here, and the Donglu will definitely send troops to deal with us and prevent us from building Dalinghe City. This general estimates that it will take at least two months. This general doesn't make things difficult for you, so he lets you be the supervisor and let these untouchables complete the Dalinghe City within two months. It's as solid as a soup, you can do it?" Zu Dashou's body slowly leaned forward, and a murderous intent filled the hall. Li Xin clearly felt Zu Dashou's murderous intent.

"Master." Li Xin was about to answer, but saw a middle-aged general beside him with a strong face. He stood up and bowed and said, "Master, although there are still some foundations in Dalinghe City, it may be a bit inappropriate if it is completed within two months. Mr. Li is a scholar and does not have the ability to be able to build a city within two months? Please give the general a grace period."

"Brother He, it's not that my Zu Dashou makes things difficult for Mr. Li. It's really that we don't have enough time. Donglu won't give us too much time. The two months I'm talking about are already quite slow." Zu Dashou stopped the middle-aged general and waved his hand and said, "Brother He, if we don't complete the construction of Dalinghe City as soon as possible, what will we rely on to resist the Donglu's attack? At that time, it will not be one or two people who will die, but that our Guanning Iron Cavalry has tens of thousands of laborers, which will ruin the major affairs of Supervisor Sun. Can you bear such a responsibility? My Zu Dashou dare not speak mercilessly!" Zu Dashou looked embarrassed. General He sighed deeply when he heard this, and looked at Li Xin with regret. Since Zu Dashou had said this, he was not something he could persuade.

"Since Dalinghe City is so important, Li Xin will take on this task." Li Xin nodded to General He. Although he didn't know who General He was, at least he helped him verbally.

"Okay, Mr. Li is really happy. Since that's the case, can you dare to issue a military order?" Zu Dashou said with a laugh. He seemed to be extremely happy with Li Xin's mission.

"Why not?" Li Xin looked at Zu Dashou disdainfully. Zu Dashou still had the will to perish me. He was not a member of the army, and he actually wanted to make a military order. If he spread it, he would probably laugh out loud.

"Okay, okay." Zu Dashou immediately ordered someone to submit a military order.

Li Xin took the pen and was about to sign it, but suddenly stopped and said, "General Zu, don't you know that within two months, Li Xin can mobilize more than 10,000 labor service? Can it drive the merchants in the city?"

"Of course," Zu Dashou said without thinking. As long as he did not involve his Guanning Iron Cavalry, he would be satisfied.

"Can I transfer my guards to Lord Qiu?" Li Xin asked again.

"This?" Zu Dashou's face was stunned and hesitated.

"What is your identity? You actually want to mobilize the governor's guard?" Zu Zerun laughed and said, "Have you heard that you need the commander to mobilize more than 100 soldiers?"

"Haha! As far as I know, this guard is a governor's guard and is not among the Guanning Iron Cavalry. What's more, this guard was personally ordered by the supervisor to send Governor Qiu to protect me." Li Xin threw down the brush in his hand and said, "If it doesn't work, General Zu would rather ask Gao Ming, or just kill me, Li Xin."

"I wonder why Mr. Li wanted to mobilize these hundreds of guards?" The general named He asked at this time. Zu Dashou also looked at Li Xin with curious eyes.

"Guarding the food and grass." Li Xin said without thinking: "To build a city, there must be a lot of food and grass. If I can mobilize the army's food and grass, I don't have to mobilize the guards. I wonder what General Zu thinks?"

"You want to mobilize food and grass?" Zu Dashou laughed and said, "My army food and grass are transported from Songshan, and they are transported once every half a month. If you use it unlimitedly, wouldn't my Songshan food and grass be controlled by you? No, this is not possible." Zu Dashou refused without hesitation.

"Then the general allows me to mobilize the governor's guard?" Li Xin said lightly: "Before coming, Governor Qiu entrusted me to train this guard seriously. If the general does not allow the governor to mobilize this guard, then you can kill me!"

"General! Wu Xiang believes that since Mr. Li has agreed to complete the construction of Dalinghe City within two months, and he will mobilize the mobs of hundreds of people, what can he do?" The general with a big ear stood up and glanced at Li Xin with disdain.

Wu Xiang? Isn’t that the big traitor Wu Sangui? I didn’t expect that he would have such a person. I don’t know why such a person gave birth to a big traitor. The so-called father must have a son, and a son can be seen even when he has a son. If his son is like this, the father may also be responsible.

"Okay! Since that's the case, I will promise you, but if you still cannot complete the construction of Dalinghe City in two months, don't blame me for ignoring Lord Qiu's face. At that time, I will have to engage in military law." Zu Dashou said viciously.

"Since Li Xin agreed, he will do it." A hint of sarcasm on Li Xin's face flashed, and he signed his name on the military order without hesitation. Li Xin thought clearly that Huang Taiji's army would definitely come, but Li Xin didn't know when it would come. Two months later, Li Xin completed the construction of Dalinghe City, which was naturally good. If it was not completed, he immediately led Jiang Yi and others into the grasslands in western Liaoning. Zu Dashou was able to hold on to himself, either because he thought that he had a large army in his hand and could eat him tightly. Unfortunately, Li Xin was completely different from what he thought. He didn't care about being a loyal Ming people. He wanted safety, and his safety was in his own hands. For safety, he could abandon everything.

"Okay, Mr. Li is really happy." Looking at Li Xin's name on the military order, Zu Dashou laughed.

"Since that's the case, Li Xin will take his leave." Li Xin glanced at everyone in the tent, and there was more sarcasm in his eyes. He ignored Zu Dashou's expression, then threw down his sleeves, turned around and left. In the hall, Zu Dashou's face was gloomy when he saw this. But he soon thought of something, and a grim smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He quickly returned to his original appearance and ordered people to serve food and drinks. There were bursts of laughter in the hall.

"Young Master, why did you come out so soon?" When Li Xin came outside the city, Gao Meng and others immediately surrounded him, and the nervous look on their faces was wiped out.

"What can Zu Dashou do to me if he doesn't come out?" Li Xin looked at the care on everyone's faces, and a warm current flowed through his heart, and said with a smile: "Is there Lord Qiu behind me or the protection of Master Sun, and what can Zu Dashou do to me if he can't?"

"Young Master, what should we do now?" Yang Xiong asked impatiently.

"Young Master Li." Li Xin was just about to come back, and a horse flew from behind. Li Xin looked back and saw that it was the general who spoke for his righteousness in the hall. He did not dare to neglect at the moment and jumped off the horse quickly.

"Li Xin thanks for his righteousness. I don't know that the general respects his surname and name." Li Xin has always been avenging revenge and kindness. Although the general in front of him is a member of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, undoubtedly, his words just now won Li Xin's favor.

"I dare not, I dare not, I am here to go." The general quickly fell down.

"It turned out to be General He." Li Xin was stunned when he heard this, but soon his face showed admiration. This person appeared in "Things in the Ming Dynasty", and Li Xin also knew some of his things. He was the old general of Yuan Chonghuan. He also participated in the victory in Ningyuan in the sixth year of Tianqi. After Yuan Chonghuan's death, He Kegang led his army to guard Jinzhou, Ningyuan, and Daling River Fortress. In the fourth year of Chongzhen, he was trapped in Daling River. Zu Dashou wanted to surrender, but Gang refused, so Dashou held it.

He killed him in front of the generals of the Later Jin Dynasty. He Kegang did not change his color, did not speak, and died with a smile. The hungry people in the city fought for their flesh. Later Zu Dashou compiled a fake memorial to the court and said, "Kegang comforted the cabinet and devoted himself to food." It can be said that He Kegang was a rare general and a tragic figure. He did not die under the enemy's swords and guns, but at the hands of his comrades. In the end, he was slandered by Zu Dashou. It has to be said that He Kegang's ending was extremely tragic.

"Young Master was too hasty just now." He Kegang sighed softly: "I have also lived in the Daling River Fortress and inspected the city. It will be very difficult to build Daling River City within two months. If someone stops it, it will probably be even more difficult. You shouldn't have issued any military orders just now."

"Haha, thank you for your concern. If I don't issue a military order, will the general think that General Zu will let me go? I'm afraid he will find an excuse to kill him in the hall." Li Xin said disdainfully.

"Of course not." He Kegang frowned and retorted without thinking: "How could I, Guanning Iron Cavalry, be such a person? You are so obsessed with it."

"Haha! I hope so." Li Xin did not refute. He Kegang was one of the Guanning Iron Cavalry, so he naturally believed in Zu Dashou.

"If this Dalinghe City is built quickly, it will be good. If the construction speed is slow, it may not be easy to get a job with General Zu!" He Kegang glanced around, pointed at the surrounding Dalinghe City, and said, "Young Master just wanted to use your guard to escort the food and grass. Is it for the servant who built Dalinghe City?"

"General, I have a good opinion." Li Xin glanced at He Kegang in surprise. He didn't expect that He Kegang could see through this point. He nodded and said, "There must be a brave man under the heavy reward. I just saw these people building the Daling River, but they only worked under whipping. In this way, not only the construction speed was much slower, but more importantly, the quality was not guaranteed. Therefore, only by allowing them to eat well and eat enough, they had the strength to work. Not only could they improve their speed, but also the quality could also be improved."

"This is probably a big expense! General Zu will not agree." He Kegang shook his head and said.

"I didn't expect him to agree. If he agreed, I'm not relieved!" Li Xin shook his head without thinking, "If you ask others for help, I'd have these brothers." Li Xin pointed at Jiang Yi and others and said.

"I wish to serve the young master." Jiang Yi and others were moved and bowed and said loudly. The voice was like thunder, and even He Kegang was shocked.
