The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

The First Champion Chapter 607

At the beginning of the catastrophe in Hebei, the imperial court blindly supported the war, bypassing Hebei and concentrating on transportation from Hedong, but the disaster relief was delayed.

In desperation, Zhang An was a little hesitant, and said in the earthquake zone that the giants in the DPRK and China, including Yang Lin, made bad starts.

The Duwei Mansion knew all about these things and reported them to Yang Lin, who knew Zhang An's character well and laughed it off.

Speaking of it now, it is only half a joke, and there is no meaning to pursue it at all.

Yang Lin is reluctant to give up water conservancy talents like Zhang An, and he will be used in many places in the future.

"Stop talking nonsense, tell me, are you here today for money, or for someone?" Yang Lin asked while drinking porridge.Baozhu, Mingzhu and Ruizhu standing behind were holding soup cups, teacups and mouthwash.

Zhe Huanxiang, the six maidservants of the bead generation, are all dressed in light yellow clothes, charming and charming, and Yang Dalang is rich and romantic, which is enviable.

Zhang An chuckled, and said: "Nothing can hide from Shao Zai's sharp eyes. This time, during the disaster relief in the area from Tianjin Port to Pinglu, the officials found that most of the fertile fields along the way were deserted. The weather has been abnormal in recent years, and the earthquake has changed the river course, causing many disasters. The embankment collapsed.

In fact, the Hebei area is not the mouth of the Yellow River, but to prevent the Khitan from going south, the river is forcibly diverted here, which can be said to be harmful to the people. "

Yang Lin threw his chopsticks and cursed: "The front line is urgent, and the disaster situation in Hebei is not stable. You want to divert the Yellow River. With such a large amount of work, have you considered whether the imperial court can afford it?"

Zhang An took out a stack of papers from his sleeve, and said, "Don't worry, young master, the next official has not only considered it, but also thought it through carefully. You see, these are all details, and the silver taels needed are actually not much. The court only needs to issue another bond." , Hebei will have a good harvest in the coming year, enough to repay the debt!"

Yang Lin's expression was a little pale, he flipped through it casually, and the porridge was served to him when he opened his mouth.After waving his hands, Rui Zhu stepped forward and wiped his mouth. Yang Lin nodded and said, "If it's true, then I can still consider it, but now that the service money is so expensive, where can I find the servants?"

"This lower official has also thought about it. You don't need to recruit civilians. As long as you don't kill us and give us a flag to control the river, you can mobilize the Xiang army on the spot. The labor force will be solved soon?"

Yang Lin looked at his plan carefully, and scolded as he read it: "You really don't fight uncertain battles, and you've plotted against me to the fullest. If you don't promise you today, won't you just leave?"

Zhang An stepped forward, poured a glass of water courteously, pushed it in front of Yang Lin, and said with a smile: "This move will benefit the people in Hebei and Shandong provinces. Shaozai's benevolent heart is known to everyone in the world. How can he not agree? Wait until the day the project is completed." , the next official is going to build a statue for Shao Zai at the mouth of the sea, so that the people will always be grateful for Shao Zai's kindness."

"It's almost the same, but I need to ask for my opinion before making this statue. I hope to pinch my waist with one hand and hold it high with the other to highlight my heroic demeanor. With a smile on my face and clear eyes, I want to show my love for the people like a child." .”

Zhang An patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, Shao Zai, the next official has already taken it to heart."

Yang Lin snorted coldly, ordered the Four Treasures of the Study, and wrote a letter.

Zhang An watched helplessly, stretched out his hand a few times, and retracted the hair in embarrassment.

"In the future, try not to do this kind of thing when the war is going on, and save me some trouble, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, Young Master!"

"get out."

In Constantinople, the Liao people cheered thunderously, and the sound shook the world.

In the battle of Yelu Dashi, more than 60 kings, more than 100 city owners, more than 12 noble generals, [-] soldiers and horses were captured, and [-] beheaded.

Countless goods and materials were seized, piled up like a mountain, and all were transported into the city.

Yelu Dashi didn't have the slightest sympathy for these people, and his disgust was hard to hide.

He ordered that the captured kings, city lords and nobles be punished by "shooting ghost arrows".

Liao History Lizhi III: "If you are sent out as a prisoner on death row, and you are returned as a spy, you will plant a pillar and tie it to the hedgehog. This is called shooting ghost arrows."

Binding criminals to pillars and shooting them to death with random arrows is a punishment unique to Khitan.

With the neighing of horses on the side of the road, the "king" nobles and city lords tied to both sides of the road looked like hedgehogs being shot one by one.

The people in the city, as well as the captured Western soldiers, were all dumbfounded.

In the autumn of the third year of Xuanhe, the land of Daliao expanded again, and its influence had extended to the European continent.

Yelu Dashi accepted the suggestion of civil and military officials, moved the capital to Constantinople, officially changed its name to "Xingliao City", and changed the country name to the first year of Kangguo.

Elite soldiers gather in the city, fierce generals are like clouds, and treasures are piled up like mountains.

It took less than three years for an empire across Europe and Asia to take shape.

The principalities, princes, and city-states in the west trembled in front of his cavalry, and the corpses of hundreds of kings and nobles were thrown into the Aegean Sea.

Yelu Dashi calmed down, no longer impetuous and eager to move eastward, and began to prepare for ten years of life and restoration of national strength.

A generation of heroes, if they get up, they will be even more terrifying

Chapter 678 Chewing Slowly

Snowflakes fell, and the earth was covered with a layer of light white.

This is the first snow of this year, and it has arrived impatiently as early as late autumn. It also announced in advance that this year's cold winter will be far more severe than previous years.

In recent years, one winter has been as cold as the other. Due to the wind, snowflakes blew down the corridor. Two guards immediately came over to hold up a big umbrella for Yang Lin.

Yang Lin waved his hands and stood in the wind, feeling the cold wind and snow.

"The area around the Baiyu River is ten times colder than here. We need to prepare enough cotton clothes for hundreds of thousands of people." Yang Lin sighed and cursed: "Thieves, how come they can't die from the cold."

Behind him, the young general Liu Qi was coming from Hebei's defense line, ready to rush to help, passing by here to meet Yang Lin.

After hearing this, Liu Kai asked: "Young master, the Baiyu River freezes in winter, why don't you take advantage of the situation to cover up and kill him?"

"A field battle with the Jurchen Tartars in the ice and snow? You probably don't know how Daliao's 70 people were defeated by [-]."

Leng is a victorious general, and its record is astonishingly luxurious. It once defeated two invincible European strongmen.

Yang Lin didn't want to be like them. Now that he could spend his time, it would not be too late to wait until winter passed.

Cutting off the Jurchens and the grasslands, without the Mongol warriors, and losing Youyan, there will be no northern Han children working for them. The Jin Kingdom established by the Jurchens is much weaker than in history.

As long as I continue to oppress their living environment, sooner or later, I will drive them back to their lair, and then go straight to Huanglong.

The only worry was that the Tartars would not be safe. After all, the severe cold was nothing to the Jurchen warriors. They had grown up in this environment since they were young.

What Song Jun has to do now is to hold the current line of defense and lock them in a cage.

"It is practical how to collect some charcoal and send it to the military camp to help them survive the cold winter." Yang Lin said worriedly.

Liu Kai was a little dazed, and then smiled and said, "Young master doesn't know yet? What the barracks burn now is not charcoal, but coal for heating."

"Someone in Bianliang made a kind of stove. Connect a chimney to discharge the thick smoke, or simply build a chimney with mud. Now in the Youyan area, at the southern foot of Yanshan Mountain, several coal mines have been mined, and they are continuously transported to On the Great Wall."

Yang Lin has been busy rebuilding after the earthquake for the past few days, but he didn't expect such progress in the army.

It seems that folk technology is indeed gradually improving. Thinking about it carefully, this is an inevitable phenomenon. I have laid such a good foundation myself, even a piece of saline-alkali land, it should take root and sprout, and I will see a harvest.

If coal is used, it will drive a lot of technological progress. I heard that someone has already made a steam pumping machine in Bianliang.

In the sky in front of him, the snowflakes were getting bigger and bigger, Yang Lin walked back into the room.
