In the eighth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, in March, the spring flowers bloomed.

A burst of kicking horses' hooves crossed a newly erected pontoon bridge over the river, and the first horse had already set foot on the south bank. Immediately after that, dozens of knights followed. The figure on the horse, with a black hat and a long coat, and a long sword and arrow bag hanging on his belt, is Zhao Kai, the first male in the Great Song Dynasty.

On both sides of the road, there are large areas of barren and overgrown land. Although it is now past the time for spring ploughing, in the eastern part of Anyang County, there is abandoned land everywhere. A contingent of four or five thousand horsemen, lined up in a long column, was marching on the official road from Linzhang County to Anyang County in the south.

Because this cavalry was followed by two or three hundred carts, as well as a large number of people who supported the old and the young, sparsely pulling like a long tail, the speed of the march was not fast. After a few days of marching, they had just passed through the territory of Linzhang County and entered the territory of Anyang County.

Most of the carts and people who followed behind the army were farmers from Linzhang County. At the time of the Jin soldiers' crossing, among the four counties under the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, including Anyang, Linxi, Linzhang, and Tangyin, the county seats of Linzhang and Tangyin counties were broken. Among them, Linzhang County was occupied by the Liaodong Han'er Army led by Han Chang for a period of time, so it suffered a lot!

Although Han Chang was later scared away by Zhao Kai's army, the people of Linzhang still had lingering palpitations. So this time, when Zhao Kai led his troops to cross the border, he called for a little call, and thousands of farmers followed the team. As for the county seat of Linzhang, it was already empty, first asked the Jin people to wash it, and then it was plagued by Han Chang for some days, and when Zhao Kai led people to station, it was already an empty city (not completely empty, there was a lot of grain and grass in the city).

Because this small and broken city is on the main road for the Jin people to advance and retreat from the south to the north, if they set up heavy troops to defend it, the Jin people will go around at most. If there are not many defenders, it is equivalent to sending supplies to the Jinren...... So Zhao Kai simply ordered to abandon the county seat of Linzhang and burned it clean, leaving only a bare earthen wall.

In the south of Huanshui in the south of Linzhang County, there is a big town belonging to Anyang County, called Yonghe Town, because the Huanshui water in the east of Yonghe Town is deep and wide, can be sailed, and leads to Yongji Canal. It was very prosperous before the Jin soldiers went south, but now there are only ruins and broken walls, and a dilapidated scenery.

Zhao Kai and a few of his attachés were now standing next to the Huanshui Wharf outside the dilapidated Yonghe Town, watching the long line of boats on the water.

Although these boats left the Daimyo a day later than Zhao Kai, they arrived in Yonghe Town early because of the downstream, and now they are unloading the ships.

The marshal's governor, Shi Lu Yihao, already knew that Zhao Kai's men and horses had arrived, so he rode a donkey and staggered to see him, and with him was a black-faced strong man in his twenties, wearing a blue robe with narrow sleeves and a round neck, and carrying a sword.

When the black-faced strong man approached, he saw Zhao Kai who was immediately recognized by the "King of Yun Zhao Kai", and he didn't care about Lu Yihao beside him, he just bowed his head and bowed: "I Wanting Li Bao see His Royal Highness the King of the Great (Nian Dynasty)!" ”

"Wanting Li Bao?" Zhao Kai thought about it hard, Wanting knew that it was a place name, and it was in the territory of Xingren Mansion on the edge of Kaifeng Mansion. But he couldn't remember who Li Bao was?

Lu Yihao had already spoken: "Minister Lu Yihao see the king...... The king, this Li Bao is a leader under the Hebei Yun Division, quite capable, and is valued by Bachelor Cai (Cai Mao), so he recommends it to the minister. The minister traveled with him all the way, and found that he knew water warfare, martial arts, and was willing to join the army, so he took him to meet the king. ”

The so-called leader is the transportation contractor. The supply of Kaifeng Mansion, Yingtianfu and Luoyang in Xijing in the Northern Song Dynasty depended on Cao Yun, and millions of stone of grain needed to be imported from the southeast every year. In the early Song Dynasty, the matter of Cao Yun was a conscription, which was assigned to the government along the Caozhou Prefecture, and later it became a business - Cao Chuan could carry some goods to pass the customs duty-free, so it was profitable, and a number of valuable leaders were produced. And because it is inevitable to encounter water thieves and water thieves when traveling thousands of miles, the gang merchants who can be the leaders of the gang have some courage, and they are good at fighting on the water and on the boat.

Xingren Mansion is adjacent to the Yellow River, and the Wuzhang River (an important canal leading to Kaifeng Mansion) flows through its territory, so there are many merchants, and the Li family in Wanting is one of them. This Li Bao is the son of the Li family, but he does not make a living on the Wuzhang River, but runs transportation on the Yongji Canal. Not long ago, he was recruited by Cai Mao, and now he has joined Zhao Kai through Lu Yihao's way.

Zhao Kai looked at this black-faced strong man, but he was majestic! So he smiled and nodded, "Okay...... This king is about to establish a water division, but unfortunately there is no general under his command who understands water warfare. Li Bao, you came just in time, how many soldiers are good at handling boats and water battles? ”

"If you go back to the king, the little man has 600 sons and 20 big boats!"

Zhao Kai thought for a while, "Then be a sailor general first, Feng Chengxinlang!" Your brothers are utility men! ”

This is the official!

Li Bao listened to Zhao Kai's words, smiled from ear to ear, and bowed to Zhao Kai again: "Small...... The last general Xie Dawang is kind! ”

Zhao Kai said to Sima Chen Ji beside him: "Sima Chen, he will hand it over to you." ”

Chen Ji answered, and led Li Bao to apply for an official license and a point register...... Seeing Chen Ji and Li Bao leaving, Lu Yihao leaned towards Zhao Kai's side, and then said in a low voice: "Wang, you see that Xiangzhou is barren everywhere, but it has suffered the people. Look at this trial camp, isn't it .......?"

"Hmm......" Zhao Kai nodded and looked around, "There is indeed a lot of wasteland here in Xiangzhou, go back and let Han Xiaoxuan check it well, how can there be hundreds of thousands of acres of wasteland, right?" can all be classified as the Shuaifu Yingtian Division.

Turn around and follow the method of dividing the fields of the archers in Shaanxi and Hedong, and distribute it to the generals who are willing to take the land! ”

What? Lu Yihao was shocked by Zhao Kai's words, your king is too dark, right? I was going to advise you to take it easy. You're good, you want to take half of the land in Xiangzhou with one mouth? Are you really Xiangzhou, no, the famous families here in Hebei are all paper-paste? This is Xiangzhou, and it is Xiangzhou of the Han family!

The Han family owned a lot of land in Tangyin, Linzhang, Anyang and other counties. At least a quarter of those so-called wastelands are the property of the Han family!

Although Zhao Kai came with 27,000 or 8,000 troops, he was a guest after all. And the Han family has taken root in Xiangzhou for many years, and since Han Qi, there have been people who have been in charge of Xiangzhou for generations, as if they were the feudal monarchs of Xiangzhou.

"Your Majesty, isn't that right?" Lu Yihao hurriedly said, "The wasteland in the eastern part of Xiangzhou is owned by the owner...... The Generalissimo's Mansion can't take it as a camp, that's a robbery of the people's wealth! ”

Zhao Kai nodded, his face sank, "Mincai? Hmph, the lonely king worked so hard to come over, and he took such a big risk to fight for thieves, who is it for?

Isn't it to keep these people who have land and land? But they can't all count on this king! They should protect themselves, they should enlist in the army, and they should stand up to defend their families and the country! If you can't do any of this, then take out some land and give it to the Xiangzhou men who are willing to enlist in the army and defend the country! ”

Doesn't that sound like he's talking about the Song Dynasty! Lu Yihao's face was entangled, although he knew that Zhao Kai was right, but this is not the way of the Great Song Dynasty......

Zhao Kai said murderously: "Lu Changshi doesn't have to worry, when Han Taishou comes to Yonghe Town, King Gu will just talk to him himself!" ”

Lu Yihao listened to Zhao Kai's words, he really couldn't cry or laugh, does this king know what he is doing? He's robbing Han Xiaoxuan and their house!

I'm going to say it myself...... Say what? Do you want to say to Han Xiaoxuan: "The surname Han, hand over all your family's land?" ”
