Chapter four hundred and twentieth six, plan to plan
Chenjiakou. The Chinese Army's tent. Wang Xing entered the tent wearing strange clothes. After seeing Yang Dezheng, he kept laughing. Yang Dezheng was criticizing Fengzhou, which was sent by Sun Yuzhun.
After seeing Wang Xing enter the tent, he kept smirking at himself, and said angrily: "What happy event makes you so happy? Could it be that someone introduced an old widow to be your mother-in-law?"
?”
Wang Xing smiled happily, swung his arms and legs, and asked mysteriously: "General, do you see what is different about your subordinates today?" Yang Dezheng put down the pen in his hand and looked at Wang Xing carefully.
, said: "Today's clothes look different, they are a bit too big." Wang Xing exclaimed exaggeratedly: "General, don't look at these clothes as they are too big, there is some university knowledge in them." As he said, Wang Xing
He took out the sword from his waist and slashed his chest hard.
The long knife made a cut on Wang Xing's clothes, but it did not hurt Wang Xing. Yang Dezheng's eyes suddenly widened and he asked in surprise: "Is this cotton armor?" Wang Xing gave a thumbs up proudly,
Said: "General, you have the knowledge, this is indeed cotton armor." Yang Dezheng stood up, left the table, walked to Wang Xing, carefully looked at the cotton armor, and asked: "Where did it come from?"
Wang Xing chuckled and said: "Someone sent six large carts with more than 10,000 items, which have already arrived at the gate of the military camp." Yang Dezheng said happily: "Take me to see it quickly." The war is imminent. Anyone who can help Yang
Yang Dezheng would not miss anything that Dezheng had won. Wang Xing took Yang Dezheng out of the military camp. Next to the two old locust trees at the entrance of the military camp, squatted a group of ragged men. They seemed to rarely travel far, so
He was full of curiosity and fear about everything in the military camp.
The leader was an old man. Looking at his age, he was already over seventy years old. He was trembling as if a gust of wind could blow him. When Wang Xing saw the old man, he shouted loudly: "Old Xi'er Zheng, our general is here."
." Lao Xi'er is not a personal name, but a colloquial language. Sun just had the nickname Sun Lao Xi'er just because he served as county magistrate in Daizhou.
After Zheng Laoxi'er saw Yang Dezheng beside Wang Xing, he stood up hurriedly, rubbed his hands and came to Yang Dezheng to salute. "Common people see you, general." Yang Dezheng stepped forward, helped Zheng Laoxi'er up, and said: "
There is no need to be polite to the old man." A bright smile appeared on Zheng Laoxi'er's face. He turned his head and glared at the young man in the tribe who was still stunned on the spot, and said with a glare: "You haven't called anyone yet, why are you standing there in such a daze?
"
The men squatting on the ground stood up and saluted Yang Dezheng. Yang Dezheng said, "No need to be polite." Zheng Laoxi'er rubbed his hands and said, "The general drove the Liao people out of Shengzhou earlier.
, and now we have to defend Chenjiakou for the sake of old Xi'ers like us. The common people have nothing to repay the general. I heard that the soldiers and horses under the general's command have nothing to defend themselves. The common people mobilized the big guys in the town and drove them away.
I made a batch of cotton armor and sent it to you."
Yang Dezheng felt a lot when he looked at the neatly tied cotton armor on the oxcart. There were many cotton armors on the oxcart, and they were neatly taken care of. But the cloth of different colors told Yang Dezheng that these cotton armors
The origin of the story. The people of Shengzhou, exploited by the Liao people, had already lived a miserable life.
Now, in order to make up for these cotton armors, I am afraid that there are no complete beddings in the whole town, and there are probably not many clothes to wear. Moreover, many vital parts of the cotton armors need to be sewn with iron sheets. I believe Zheng Laoxi'er
They also plundered everything with iron in the town. Yang Dezheng bowed deeply to Zheng Laoxi'er, "I believe that the soldiers wearing these cotton armors will never retreat."
Zheng Laoxi'er was startled by Yang Dezheng's salute. He hurriedly dodged Yang Dezheng's salute. He said in a panic: "They are all good babies, but we don't dare to let them die. It's best if they all come back alive."
Yang Dezheng nodded solemnly, turned around and ordered Wang Xing, saying: "Go and ask the Huotou Army to prepare a few tables of meals for everyone to fill their stomachs. Then go to the Army Sima in charge of money and food, and pay a sum of money and food.
To Zheng Laoxi'er."
Wang Xing accepted the order and went to do it immediately. Zheng Laoxi'er kept shouting, "General! We just want to do our part, but we don't dare to take money and food, and we will feel guilty." Yang Dezheng comforted Lao Zheng.
Xi'er said a few words and ordered Wang Xing, who had returned from conveying Yang Qi's order, to take Zheng Lao Xi'er and his party down to rest. He hurried back to the big tent, spread out a piece of rice paper, picked up a pen and wrote on it
A line of large characters.
"The first achievement in conquering Liao!"
Five big characters, written vigorously. Yang Dezheng took out his fuse again and stamped it. At this moment, Wang Xing hurriedly entered the tent. "General, that stubborn old man refused to accept it.
The general showed his kindness and ran away with his people." Yang Dezheng sighed and said with a wry smile: "What a stubborn old man. These are simple people! They will never forget your kindness to them for a moment."
Yang Dezheng rolled up the rice paper on the table and said: "Hurry up and go deliver it to Zheng Laoxi'er. After delivering the things, go to Fengzhou City again and tell Sun Ji that all villages and towns that hold this handsome handwritten book will be exempted from five
Annual taxes. At the same time, ask the military commander to send people to send money and food to Zheng Laoxi'er and his town."
Wang Xing respectfully took over the handwritten letter "The greatest achievement in conquering Liao!" and solemnly said: "I obey my orders." After Zheng Laoxi'er received the handwritten letter "The greatest achievement in conquering Liao!" and the money and food sent by Army Sima.
, Yang Dezheng didn't know how he would react. But Yang Dezheng felt that when he had enough money and food, he could not suffer the kind people. However, Yang Dezheng thought that this matter was over.
Unexpectedly, Zheng Laoxi'er seemed to have made a start. After Zheng Laoxi'er sent the cotton armor, people from all over the country also sent many things one after another. They gave almost everything. And
They had no intention of repaying anything in return. It seemed that in order to avoid Yang Dezheng's reward, the person who delivered the things simply sent the things to the gate of the military camp and disappeared. Even if Yang Dezheng ordered someone to deliver the things to Zheng Laoxi'er
The money and food were also sent back quietly.
Yang Dezheng asked the Army Sima to make a count. Half of the things sent by the people were food. The remaining half included cotton armor, iron armor, weapons, and many crossbows. Yang Dezheng even
Among the things sent by the people, one hundred sets of Mingguang armors were found. And judging from the stamps and inscriptions on them, they were all old items from the Tang Dynasty.
Yang Dezheng was moved by the people's simplicity. With a wave of his hand, he decided to reduce or exempt the people of Shengzhou from agricultural taxes for five years. Sun Ji from Fengzhou City was about to resign immediately after receiving Yang Dezheng's order.
In the end, it was only after Yang Dezheng sent someone to deliver some of the property of the Liao people captured in Shengzhou that he was able to stabilize Sun Ji, who was about to resign.
After Sun not politely accepted the money sent by Yang Dezheng, he also sent someone to tell Yang Dezheng righteously. If Yang Dezheng continued to reduce agricultural taxes so unscrupulously, he would resign immediately. And he didn't have three million.
Two taels of silver were added to the treasury, which he had no choice but to resign. Yang Dezheng also understood that Sun was just using this method to warn him, asking him not to wantonly mess up the affairs of Fengzhou, Daizhou and Shengzhou based on his own preferences.
Government affairs. Sun Ji is now the boss in charge of the government affairs of the three states.
In the Song Dynasty, that was an official title from the third rank. Yang Dezheng understood Sun Jin's meaning deeply and did not blame him.
Just when Yang Dezheng was completely moved by the people, the people who were causing trouble for him arrived in Daizhou. The news that the angel from Bianjing City had arrived in Daizhou had already reached the government office of Daizhou. Chen Jiangling, as the acting judge of Daizhou affairs, personally
A group of people were stopped to greet him.
At the south gate of Daizhou City, Chen Jiangling, dressed in official uniform, led the people in the government office to greet the angels of Bianjing City. Hou Renbao was sitting in an eight-carriage sedan, followed by a large group of people, holding imperial edicts, flags, and ceremonial guards.
Arrive at the south gate of Daizhou Prefecture.
After arriving at the south gate of Daizhou City, there were twenty golden-armored guards lined up in a row, majestic. "Chen Jiangling, the official judge of Daizhou affairs, welcomes the angel." Chen Jiangling led the large and small people in the Daizhou government office.
The officials bowed to greet Hou Renbao. Hou Renbao casually opened the sedan curtain, glanced at Chen Jiangling, then lowered the sedan curtain and said something neutral.
"Chen Jiangling? Who do you think you are? Ask Yang Yanzhao and Yang Dezheng to come to see me." After saying this, Chen Jiangling's face turned red with anger. Chen Jiangling did not dare to get angry. He still bowed and waved his hand to the yamen servant.
Let's go to Yang Mansion to find Yang Yanzhao.
After getting the news, Yang Yanzhao hurried to the south gate of Daizhou City. Yang Yanzhao was loyal to the Song Dynasty court and was in awe of the angels sent by the Song Dynasty court. After arriving at the south gate of Daizhou City, Yang Yanzhao respectfully greeted Hou Renbao.
The sedan chair saluted and said: "The common man Yang Yanzhao greets the angel."
In the eight-carriage sedan, Hou Renbao closed his eyes and fell asleep, and seemed not to hear Yang Yanzhao's voice. Yang Yanzhao just stood there with a bow. After standing for two full hours, Hou Renbao in the sedan opened his eyes and said faintly.
Asked: "Where is Yang Dezheng? Why doesn't he come to see me? Does he know what kind of sin it is to neglect an angel?"
Yang Yanzhao said in a deep voice: "My son has something important to do. I hope the angel will forgive me for my offence." Hou Renbao yawned and said: "That's all, I won't hold him responsible for the time being. I'm sleepy.
Prepare a place for me to rest. I want to have a rest for a while."
From the beginning to the end, Hou Renbao had no intention of getting off the sedan. After Hou Renbao's sedan entered Daizhou City, it was carried directly to the Daizhou City Post Station. Hou Renbao sent someone to take a look inside the post station and found that he was not satisfied. Yang Yanzhao could only arrange for Hou Renbao to stay there.
Yang Mansion.
After Hou Renbao moved into the Yang Mansion, he completely became an uncle. He had clothes on his back, food on his hands, and food on his hands. He even wanted Yang Yanzhao to serve him. Yang Yanzhao also obeyed him in everything. After all, Yang Yanzhao felt guilty. He felt that Yang Dezheng
What he did in Shengzhou was obviously because the Yang family had failed the imperial court. After having a good meal, Hou Renbao was personally accompanied by Yang Yanzhao to visit the Yang Mansion. He walked around the Yang Mansion and looked at the luxury of the Yang Mansion.
Blatantly asking for bribes from Yang Yanzhao.
Yang Yanzhao gave him all the 10,000 taels of silver he had saved after arriving in Daizhou. Hou Renbao was still not satisfied with this. He disliked Yang Yanzhao for not giving him enough, and frequently ridiculed Lao Yang. The literati of the Song Dynasty,
He was very tough in front of generals, especially Yang Yanzhao, a loyal general who had lost his power.
Yang Yanzhao was ridiculed by Hou Renbao, and was angry in his heart, but he did not dare to say it out. Hou Renbao walked around Yang Mansion and arrived outside Yang Dezheng's yard. Yang Dezheng's yard was considered an exquisite and elegant place in Yang Mansion. He looked at Yang
After entering Dezheng's courtyard, Hou Renbao raised his mustache and asked, "Where is this place?" Yang Yanzhao said with a smile: "This is where my son Yang Dezheng lives." Hou Renbao suddenly became interested and also
Say hello to Yang Yanzhao and step into the yard.
"Go in and take a look." After bypassing the bamboo forest in front of the yard, a small building and a lake appeared in front of Hou Renbao. Beside the lake, a beautiful lady frowned and looked at the horizon dreamily. The lady was beautiful,
Just like the Mysterious Lady from the Nine Heavens, Hou Renbao was fascinated by it all of a sudden.
"Ahem~" Yang Yanzhao looked at Hou Renbao's lustful face and coughed with a black face. In fact, Yang Yanzhao was also shocked. He knew that his son had a new concubine in the house. He heard that he was so beautiful that he could conquer the country, but he had always been
I haven't seen it before. Some people may think it is an exaggeration, but in fact it is not an exaggeration at all. Although Xing entered the Yang Mansion, he did not offer tea to Yang Yanzhao and Princess Chai.
And Yang Yanzhao rarely comes to his son's small yard, let alone goes to his son's yard to see his daughter-in-law. Xing Xing cannot leave the house, so Yang Yanzhao has never seen Chu Xing. Yang Yanzhao coughed and turned around.
Hou Renbao woke up with a start. Hou Renbao looked at Chu Xing, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and subconsciously asked: "Who is this woman?" When Yang Yanzhao heard this, his face became angry.
The clay figurine also has a third degree of fire. Yang Yanzhao also knew that civil servants in Bianjing City often gave concubines to each other, but such dirty things would never happen in the Yang family. Yang Yanzhao shouted in a low voice: "Hou
Angel, it's getting late, it's time to go back to your room and rest." Hou Renbao's heart was focused on Xing, who would care about the anger on Yang Yanzhao's face.
He waved his hand casually and said: "It's not too late. I heard that Yang Dezheng took a house of beautiful concubines. Could it be this girl?" Yang Yanzhao reminded Hou Renbao again and said: "Hou Angel, it's time to rest.
." Hou Renbao reacted, raised his head and looked at Yang Yanzhao, who was full of anger, and said shamelessly: "Yang Yanzhao, if you give this girl to me, I will definitely help your Yang family tell you more after I return to Bianjing.
Good words. Maybe you can save the Yang family from jail.
You should be aware that what Yang Dezheng did in Fengzhou and Shengzhou has aroused His Majesty's anger. Without me to speak out, your entire Yang family will be punished." Yang Yanzhao did not answer, but reminded Hou Renbao.
, "It's getting late, it's time to rest." At the same time, Yang Yanzhao coughed twice, waking up Xing who was in a daze by the lake.
Shengzhou, Chenjiakou, Yang Dezheng didn't know that his father and mother were angry about his own affairs. He was busy preparing for the war. Although they changed into colorful cotton armor, they looked funny, but Yang
However, Dezheng felt that with the protection of cotton armor, the combat effectiveness of his Renaissance infantry should have more than doubled.
The first batch of horizontal knives and arrows cast by the weapons workshop have been assigned to the soldiers. The Renaissance Army, which has changed its equipment, seems to have escaped the shadow of the wandering militia and begun to make strides towards the regular army. Yang Dezheng responded to this
He was very happy to arrive. What he hoped most now was that the Liao people's march south would be slower, giving him a day to prepare.
As long as the Liao people arrive one day late, Yang Dezheng's forces will be able to increase their strength. Under the training of Yang Wu and Peng Pai, the Jin army's soldiers and horses are also rapidly forming. At least so far, the Jin army's soldiers and horses have been completed.
Simple queue training. After the queue training is completed.
Yang Xin did not follow the original training method to train the soldiers to kill the enemy. Instead, he came up with various methods to train the Jin army's courage. No, what Yang Dezheng visited in the army today
At that time, I saw Yang Xin setting up fifty fire rings on the training ground. Groups of Jin army soldiers lined up and passed through the fire rings.
The fire circle set up by Yang Xin was not harmless, but contained many dangers. In just one morning, more than 300 Jin army soldiers were injured. Even so, Yang Xin still did not stop his courageous training.
Even with the help of Peng Pai, he intensified and created many things to punish people. In short, it started when Yang Xin began to train the courage of the soldiers.
The casualties in the army have never stopped. And Yang Xin's army also has an additional camp specifically for the placement of wounded soldiers. After Yang Xin visited the army for training, he went to the army's wounded soldiers camp to provide
Doctors temporarily recruited from Fengzhou and Shengzhou were trained on emergency rescue measures.
Yang Dezheng was busy like this over and over again. On this day, as soon as Yang Dezheng came out of the wounded barracks, he saw Chen Yao rushing towards him happily. From a distance, he heard Chen Yao's surprised shout. "General,
The city wall has been built." Yang Dezheng was obviously stunned when he heard this. When Chen Yao approached, he said in shock: "Why so fast?"
Chen Yaole laughed and said: "We are using 400,000 people to build a three-mile city wall. This is already too slow. Today, a plaque will be hung on the city gate tower. General Yang Gui asked his subordinates to invite you over." Yang Dezheng nodded excitedly.
, said: "Wait for me."
The city wall was built, which was a great joy for Yang Dezheng. With this city wall, Yang Dezheng would no longer be afraid of the Liao army pressing down on the border. Yang Dezheng returned to his tent, cleaned it for a while, and put on his clothes
Wearing a polished Mingguang armor, he followed Chen Yao majestically to Chenjiakou. After arriving in Chenjiakou, Yang Dezheng saw 400,000 people gathered in front of a tall and thick city wall, seemingly waiting for something. Yang Dezheng
Standing in front of this city wall, I feel a little lost in emotion.
Yang Dezheng remembered that half a month ago, this place was still flat. Half a month later, a four-foot-high city wall was raised. Under the attention of everyone, Yang Dezheng rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall, and he jumped off the horse.
Touching the cold bluestone on the wall, my heart felt hot.
Chen Yao couldn't guess what Yang Dezheng was thinking. When he saw Yang Dezheng stroking the big bluestone on the wall, he quickly explained: "These big bluestone bricks are mined from the mountains by the common people hammer by hammer. There is absolutely no cutting corners."
." Then he added, "My subordinates and General Yang Gui are watching, no one dares."
Yang Dezheng sighed, it was really a miracle in the history of architecture. But when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back. He turned his head and looked at the ragged people who were responsible for building the city. He didn't think that this Guancheng was a
Miracle. These were all built up by 400,000 people with one hand. There is no element of miracle. Yang Dezheng is absolutely not willing to use the word "miracle" to erase the achievements of the people. Yang Dezheng
When we climbed to the top of the city, we saw a tall city gate tower towering over the city gate.
Yang Gui was waiting for him with a group of old men who looked like foremen. Yang Dezheng clasped his fists at them and said solemnly: "Thank you for your hard work." These old foremen waved their hands repeatedly and said: "No hard work, no hard work...
"
Yang Gui walked forward with a smile and said: "Stop saying these polite words, the people don't like it. If you really think they are working hard, treat them better when you rule this place in the future." Yang Dezheng said with a bitter smile:
"I have reduced the taxes in Fengzhou and Shengzhou for five years in one breath. If I continue to reduce or reduce taxes, Sun Jin will have to resign. I don't have many civil servants in my hands. At present, I only have a pillar like Sun Yu. But
Can't let go."
Yang Yanping knew Sun Ji's temperament to some extent, and he also knew that Sun Ji was someone Yang Dezheng valued, so when Yang Dezheng said this, Yang Gui didn't feel surprised at all. Yang Gui smiled and said: "I already know you
I have given them tax reductions and exemptions for five years, and I know that there is no way to make concessions on the tax issue. The people do not beg you to stop tax reductions and exemptions again.
But in recent days, many people have come to me and said that they are willing to stay here in Chenjiakou. I heard that you have established a certain agricultural reclamation corps, so they also want to join in." Yang Dezheng was stunned and said: "This matter
The matter is easy to handle. I will leave all the specific matters to Chen Yao. In this way, a garrison city will definitely be built here in the future, and nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses should be stationed here. Therefore, with Chenjiakou
This Guancheng is the boundary, and within ten miles to the west, all is used for military garrison training.
The large area of wasteland and pasture ten miles away will all be allocated to the Agricultural Reclamation Corps. Their families can be allowed to build their own villages there." The old men following Yang Gui heard Yang Dezheng's words and looked excited.
Yang Gui turned around and asked them with a smile, "How is it? Are you satisfied?" The old men nodded excitedly: "Satisfied! Satisfied!"
Two brothers, Yang Dezheng and Yang Gui, looked at each other and smiled. Yang Gui smiled and said: "Now that we have understood the trivial matters, it is time to do business. Today this pass is completed, you need to give it a name." Yang Gui said thoughtfully: "What do you think of the Chen family?
How about it?" Yang Gui was stunned, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He shook his head in a low voice and said: "That's not right! The reason why Chenjiakou is called Chenjiakou is because the Chen family originally lived here. However, since Shi Jingtang
After dedicating this place to the Liao people, the Liao people killed all the Chen family in order to facilitate their rule here.
Mentioning the Chen family always makes people feel inexplicably sad, so let's change the name." Yang Dezheng was stunned, and solemnly nodded: "Then it's called Fuxing Pass. This place is the starting point for the rejuvenation of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Yang Gui's eyes lit up and he praised: "It's very good."
Yang Gui had already prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Yang Dezheng took up his pen and wrote the three characters "Fuxingguan" on the rice paper. He also wrote the four characters "Yang Dezheng" on the foot of the lower right corner. He had already written on the city gate.
Two pairs of masters and apprentices were ready on the building, one of which was specially responsible for carving. After reading Yang Dezheng's handwriting, they had people hang them on the edge of the city wall in a basket.
On the edge of the city wall, slightly upward, there was a specially blank space. The master and the apprentice began to carve quickly. Similarly, another pair of master and apprentice also began to carve on a plaque that had been prepared.
The inscriptions began to be carved. Yang Dezheng's words were engraved on the city gate and plaque exactly as they were by the two pairs of masters and apprentices.
The carving lasted for an hour. When the two pairs of masters and apprentices completed the carving, the time just reached noon. A large amount of bamboo was thrown into the fire, and amid the crackling of firecrackers, Yang Dezheng opened the cover on the plaque.
The red cloth with the words "Fuxingguan" is coated with a layer of gold paint and shines in the sun.
A burst of fanatical cheers broke out in the crowd of common people. The Han people always depended on thick city walls in their hearts. A tall city wall separated Shengzhou and Liao Kingdom. They felt it from the bottom of their hearts.
Achieved a sense of security.
And when Yang Dezheng waved his hand and dispatched the 20,000 revival infantry stationed in the city to the top of the city, the people felt even more secure. The revival infantry had barely been in the shadow of the soldiers, and they had also experienced
Fengzhou and Yeqi Ganbo were fighting each other. Their courage no longer needed to be trained.
The rest of the training of tactics and formations is far from being completed overnight. After Yang Dezheng transferred the revival infantry to the city, he entrusted them all to Yang Gui. Yang Gui was taught by Yang Yanzhao, so for
He is very good at defending the city.
He could also hone the Renaissance infantry before the battle. The city wall was built thick and wide, and the aisles on the city wall were twice as wide. Therefore, Yang Gui trained the Renaissance infantry on the city wall to fully utilize it. The city wall was built, but
Neither Yang Dezheng nor Yang Gui had any intention of dismissing the 400,000 people.
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
